Chapter 174 Milan's Counterattack

At the beginning of the second half, Milan took the lead in attacking.

Jankulovski's frequent advances put a lot of pressure on Naples' sideways.

Once, he was also the core midfielder of Udinese. Although he could not gain a foothold in Milan, which is extremely strong in the midfield, but coming to the full-back position does not mean that his ability has declined.

Seeing Seedorf passing the ball to the famous Czech player, Kaka and Ronaldinho were both in the passing position, Macho became ruthless and pulled Jankulovski to the ground.

The referee Rocky ran over and showed Macho a yellow card.

This was nothing at all, but Ma Qiao knew that he had already received a yellow card in the first half!
Sure enough, Rocky didn't forget about this incident. After taking back the yellow card, he took out another red card!
Marjorie was sent off!

Less than 3 minutes after the start of the second half, Naples lost one player!
Rhea couldn't sit still immediately, and took the initiative to choose a substitution.

Hamsik, who has been in poor form recently, is off, and defender Aronika is on.

Aronika is a left back, which happens to be Macho's position.

However, compared to Macho, Aronika is lacking in offensive ability, only the level of defense is not bad.

Coupled with the absence of Hamsik, Naples' offensive ability was weakened a lot at once.

Fortunately, Hamsik's position, Li Ze and Lavezzi on the field can both play, and Naples as a whole does not have much impact.

In the face of an emergency, Rea's substitution was just right, showing his experienced side.

It's a pity that this has no effect on the situation on the field.

Naples, who were at a disadvantage in the first half, could only defend in the backcourt after losing one player.

Playing ten against eleven on the court has always been quite difficult.

As a last resort, even Li Ze and Lavitch had to retreat to the midfield position to assist teammates in holding the ball and defending.

For a while, AC Milan attacked Naples, making the players in Naples breathless.

In the 49th minute, Ronaldinho passed the ball from the left sideline, Kaka received the ball at the front of the penalty area, and volleyed the ball to the unguarded Borriello.

Borriello received the ball and found himself shooting from a small angle.

After a little adjustment, Borriello found that the goalkeeper Jezo had already moved into position. In desperation, Borriello could only bite the bullet and shoot. As a result, the ball crossed the entire gate and flew out of the baseline.

"In Serie A, Borriello can be regarded as a first-line striker, but in this kind of strong dialogue, what he can do is limited."

Zhang Lu commented.

Not only Borriello, Milan's overall offense is very smooth, but it has been slow to make a difference in the finishing touch.

In the 53rd minute, Jankulovski made a low pass from the left to the center and was destroyed by Santa Croce. Unfortunately, his clearance was not good, and the ball went to Ronaldinho's feet instead.

Ronaldinho didn't make any extra moves, catching the ball 12 meters in front of the goal and shooting.

At the critical moment, Yezuo's reaction was faster than his brain's thinking, and Yuyue threw the ball out of the right post.

In the 55th minute, Seedorf received a pass from Kaka to attract a large number of defenses, and shot from a distance of 18 meters in front of the goal. The ball flew out of the baseline against the post.

For a moment, the gate of Naples was in danger, as if it would be breached at any moment.

The fans in Naples were extremely panicked, and the fans in Milan were also quite frightened.

There is a saying in the football circle, or a law——

If the dominant team fails to score a goal after many shots, it is no different from a loser. Then the situation will "counterattack", and in the end, the disadvantaged team will score first.

This was the case in the first half. It was obviously Milan who was controlling the rhythm, but Li Ze seized the opportunity to break through Milan's gate.

Seeing that their own players' shots were only close to the goal every time, the Milan fans were not only not happy, but panicked.

Ancelotti also realized that the status quo could not be maintained, he had to change.

After looking around at his own bench, his eyes fixed on a young player.

"Alexander, get ready to play."

"No problem!" Pato had been waiting a long time ago, and when he heard Ancelotti switch himself, he quickly took off his vest.

Ambrosini off, Pato on.

Ambrosini, who used to be a teenager, is now over 30 years old and has stayed in Milan for more than ten years.

On other teams, even if such a player does not perform very well, he will become a symbol of the team.

In AC Milan, however, it was different.

AC Milan has a loyal star like Maldini and an outstanding idol superstar like Kaka. Ambrosini is very inconspicuous among a group of super giants.

When he was off the field, the Naples fans were too lazy to boo him. More people thought he was not a threat and there was no need to boo him.

Others may not care about Ambrosini, but how can Milan fans not care?
The fans who came to San Siro to watch the game applauded the player who dedicated his youth and even his entire career to Milan.

Although Milan fans respect Ambrosini, it is embarrassing that after Pato replaced him, Milan's offense suddenly became more threatening.

After Pato played, Milan became a 4222 formation, weakening the defense and strengthening the offense.

Considering that there are Gattuso and Seedorf on the field, Milan's defense will not be weak.

After Pato came on the court, he also actively moved to create opportunities.

In the 61st minute, Borriello passed the ball after shaking off Aronika with a fake move. Santa Croce made a successful prediction and cleared the ball before Pato.

In the 64th minute, Li Ze's breakthrough won a free kick for Naples. Gargano took the penalty and shot directly. The ball flew out of the bottom line against the right post, and the opportunity returned to Milan.

Abbiati made a big pass to the middle, Seedorf squeezed Blasi to grab the spot, and passed the ball to Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho has passed his peak, but he still has superstar-level strength.

The Brazilian elf received the ball, knocked the ball and made fake moves, shaking Contini at a loss.

Before he realized it, Ronaldinho had already passed the ball and left him behind.

AC Milan got another chance, and all eyes were on Ronaldinho.

Some people are afraid, some people are looking forward to it, and some people may be a little scared while looking forward to it.

If this goal is not scored again, the Milan players should be in a hurry.

Regardless of whether other people are in a hurry or not, Ronaldinho is definitely not in a hurry, he even has a smile on his face.

When he ran to the front of the penalty area, Ronaldinho glanced at the gate of Naples.

After feeling able to shoot, Ronaldinho went straight without any hesitation.

At the moment of crisis, Yezo moved ahead of time as if with divine help, and threw the ball sideways.

However, Ronaldinho's shot was very powerful, and Jezo accidentally threw the ball back into the penalty area!

To make matters worse, Pato appeared in front of the ball!

The moment he received the ball, he was only 4 meters away from the Napoli gate.

As a matter of course, Pato took the ball...

kicked away...

"This goal didn't even go in!"

"Pato is committing a crime!"

"Four meters in front of the door, no one is defending, how can we not enter the empty door?"

Everyone couldn't understand it, and Pato couldn't understand it himself. He hugged his head and fell to his knees.

Ancelotti roared twice angrily, feeling a little guilty after the roar.

He realized that today's game is a bit hanging...
