Chapter 172 Today's Milan

In a blink of an eye, the head-to-head confrontation with Milan came.

The professional league is like this, and it does not give people a chance to breathe.

"In this game, Milan's Nesta, Pirlo and Flamini are all absent due to injuries, and Maldini is also sitting in the audience."

"Milan's starting lineup is the Christmas tree of 4321, the goalkeeper is Abbiati, the defenders are Zambrotta, Bonera, Favalli and Jankulovski, and the three midfielders are Gattuso, Seedorf and Antoine. Brosini, with Kaka and Ronaldinho as the two attacking midfielders, and Borriello as the single striker."

The camera pointed the camera at Milan's bench very deliberately.

There, Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Emerson, Pato are all sitting there.

From the point of view of fame alone, Milan's bench is simply luxurious.

However, Shevchenko and the others are old, while Pato has not grown up yet.

Putting them on the bench is a display of maturity.

"Napoli's formation is 352, the goalkeeper is Jezzo, the three defenders are Santa Croce, Cannavaro and Contini, and the five midfielders are Maggio, Blasi, Gargano, Hamsey. Ke and Mannini, the two forwards are Li Ze and Lavezzi."

"It's 352, in which Maggio and Mannini stand in the midfield position, but it's okay to say they are full-backs."

"Napoli put out a lineup that was more defensive."

The camera is also very touching, pointing the lens at Dennis sitting on the bench.

"In the last game, Argentine striker Dennis scored a hat-trick, but he didn't play this game. I don't know how he feels."

In the camera, Dennis, who was sitting on the cold bench, seemed to have no extra thoughts, and his expression was very flat.

As for what he thinks in his heart, the camera cannot capture it.

After the kick-off, unexpectedly, the Naples players did not directly defend, but had a high-speed confrontation with Milan.

The Milan players who were confused by the Naples formation were really a little underprepared at the beginning.

Less than 3 minutes into the game, Lavitch found Li Ze with a cross from the bottom. The latter shot a long shot 20 meters in front of the goal and hit Favali, which was refracted. The ball flew out of the baseline against the goal post.

Abbiati was frightened into a cold sweat——

It was just a little bit short, and his goal was directly broken.

It took less than 3 minutes to start the game, and if Milan's gate was broken, it would be a huge blow to their morale.

It was precisely because he realized the criticality of the ball that Li Ze only stomped on the turf when he saw that the ball was not scored, and Reya also felt sorry for it outside the court.

Corner opportunity, Gargano takes the penalty.

He didn't want Li Ze to show off by himself, so he chose to shoot directly.

The chance of a direct shot from a corner kick is very small, which makes Li Ze, who can clearly see the trajectory of the ball, a little dissatisfied.

But what I have to say is that Gargano's direct shot from the corner kick is still very good. This ball hit the crossbar and almost broke the goal.

At the beginning, Naples created consecutive chances to score goals, and Ancelotti couldn't sit still.

In fact, Naples put up a defensive formation, but chose to attack at the beginning, which was actually expected by Ancelotti.

As a coach with outstanding tactical arrangement ability, Ancelotti would not even have thought of this possibility.

To deal with the possibility of Naples' attack, Ancelotti was prepared in advance.

But he didn't expect that, even though he had explained it in advance, his players still behaved so poorly.

He even didn't expect that Naples' offensive organization ability was so good that they continuously threatened their own gate!

He came to the sidelines and loudly directed the team's defense.

Ancelotti is really not satisfied with the team's current defense, especially Bonera and Favalli.

In the past, Milan had Maldini, Nesta, Stam and Cafu on the defense line, which can be called a historical-level defense line. It is difficult to gather such a lineup in the game.

Ancelotti is used to the extremely powerful players in the team. Now look at the other players. Zambrotta and Jankulovski, who have declined in strength, are okay, and the rest are really not very eye-catching.

Thinking this way in his heart, Ancelotti didn't say much on the surface.

Maldini should have retired a long time ago, and Nesta is also old. It is impossible for Milan to rely on the past glory to live.

Then, accepting the current decline is also necessary.

Ancelotti gestured to the players to do a good job of defending first.

Naples is just an emerging strong team, and they can't last long with their current offensive intensity.

After surviving their wave of offensive, it is Milan's chance to counterattack.

The Naples players can also clearly feel that Milan's rhythm has slowed down, and they are a little slack at the moment.

However, Milan's defensive players are much weaker than before, but their offensive players are no worse than before.

Especially in the attacking midfielder position, the combination of Kaka and Ronaldinho is luxurious.

In the 6th minute of the game, Brasi made a pass error. Gattuso successfully countered and passed the ball to Kaka. Kaka was still at the end of his peak. behind.

Recalling Kaka in the 07 Champions League, Cannavaro Jr. and the others were taken aback, and quickly moved to block all Kaka's advance routes.

They blocked it very well and did not give Kaka any gaps.

Just because the blockade was so good, there were a little loopholes in the defense elsewhere.

Kaka saw the right moment, swayed the space and passed the ball to Borriello's feet.

Borriello received the ball, stopped the ball a little bit, and was blocked by Santa Croce close to some shooting angles.

In desperation, Borriello volleyed from a distance of 25 meters in front of the Naples goal, but the ball went high.

"This opportunity is good, and he will be a greater threat with two extra steps."

"If it's Shevchenko and Inzaghi, Napoli's gates are in danger."

Thinking that the two were still sitting on Milan's bench, Zhang Lu added another sentence.

"I'm talking about Sheva and Inzaghi at their peak."

I have to say that as Milan's starting single forward, Borriello is relatively unqualified.

Even without the support from the backcourt, Milan's midfielder is overwhelming Naples, constantly creating opportunities.

Every time Kaka and Ronaldinho broke through and scored the ball, it brought a test to Naples' defense.

In the 13th and 17th minutes, Borriello got two more chances in the penalty area, but unfortunately his shots were blocked by Cannavaro Jr.

When many Milan fans sighed, they couldn't help but miss the past again.

In the time period of 03-07, Milan's strength is quite strong.

Won the Champions League in 03 and 07, and the league title in 04.

It seems that the results are not particularly exaggerated, but what you need to know is that in recent years, Milan has won 2 championships in the Champions League, 1 runner-up, 1 semi-final, and 1 quarter-final.

The runner-up was in Istanbul, the semi-final was suspected of being hacked by Barcelona, ​​and the quarter-final was overturned by Super Deportivo.

It can be said that Milan's dominance in the Champions League in those years was unmatched, and the loss was either a big comeback or a controversy.

Many Milan fans dismissed Ancelotti, thinking that if it weren't for his poor level, how could Milan at its peak only win two Champions Leagues?

At Milan's peak, both Inzaghi and Crespo often sat on the bench.

And now...

Looking at Borriello, who is constantly wasting opportunities on the court, Milan fans are a bit unbearable.
