Greenery on the back

Chapter 431 Give Points at the Beginning

Mentioning the nickname "New Buffon", Yue Feng immediately thought of Mazzarope, his biggest opponent in the Milan derby when he played in the Italian Youth League.

This guy's goalkeeping skills are quite superb, and he once had a record of 12 consecutive games with zero seals.

The Inter Milan U19 where I was at the beginning also relied on the two powerful forwards Lima and Ribeiro to win the opponent.

I don't know if Empoli's current lineup can break through the ten fingers of this young goalkeeper.

According to the data, this Mazzarope has grown taller now, and his height has reached 192CM.

Yue Feng smacked his mouth, as if he had anticipated the difficulty of this match.

On January 2031, 1, Empoli drove to the Meazza Stadium in Milan and competed with AC Milan for the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia.

This is the first time that Yue Feng has come to this familiar stadium again after nearly half a year.

As the home court shared by Inter Milan and AC Milan, Yue Feng often came here to play on behalf of Inter Milan U19.

"How is it? Do you miss it?" Yue Feng turned around and asked Uchida Maren when the players were about to enter the field.

"Of course, I want to treat the Meazza Stadium as my home ground and play to the best level." Uchida Maren's tone was quite firm.

"That's right, today's attack depends entirely on you." Yue Feng patted Uchida on the shoulder, and walked forward with the team.

According to Ranocchia's pre-match deployment, Empoli's offense today is mainly on the right.

The original left-wing Wei Yuefeng switched positions with Thomas and kicked the midfielder instead.

Yue Feng will only have one task later, and that is to mark AC Milan No. 7 Griezmann all the way.

"Griezmann is good at running positions, and his grasp and utilization of space are at the top level in the world. Although he is getting older now, the older he is, the older he becomes. Maybe he will catch our defensive loopholes at any time and take the opportunity to launch a deadly attack. attack."

Before the game, Ranocchia told Yue Feng: "When you are next to Griezmann, you must always be vigilant, and you must not be distracted."

At this moment, on the field, the players have already taken their positions.

Yue Feng looked from a distance and saw Griezmann wearing the No. 7 red and black jersey, standing in the center of the court with his arms akimbo.

His appearance is still considered handsome, but his stubble and melancholy eyes make him look a little old.

After the captains of the two teams guessed the coin, Empoli, who was playing away, served first.

Just hearing the referee's whistle, the ball was immediately kicked behind by Stefano.

Yue Feng came over and kicked the ball to the right again, and Uchida immediately launched a fast break along the sideline.

This is also the tactic that Ranocchia has implemented as planned. If they get the ball, they will start with AC Milan a few times to frighten the opponent's prestige.

Ranocchia's idea is correct. The opponent has home court advantage. If Empoli does not start well, the team's morale will be difficult to raise again.

Uchida Maren implemented the head coach's tactics very well. His forward speed was so fast that his opponents were a little confused.

AC Milan has strengthened a lot this summer, but the defense has not moved much.

The worst performers on this team right now are the guards.

They are no longer the defense team with Maldini and Nesta.With such a rush by Uchida, the border defense line collapsed in an instant.

Uchida handed the ball to No. 9 Mateucci without any effort. The bearded man ran into the penalty area and was about to shoot with his feet.

At this time, AC Milan's defender didn't know what to do. Seeing that Mateucci was about to hit the goal, he kicked him to the ground from the side.

"beep!"

Without further ado, the referee ran up to the AC Milan defender and showed a yellow card, and pointed his hand at the 12-yard penalty spot.

In less than 3 minutes of the opening, Empoli got a corner kick.

Give points at the beginning.

Ranocchia was so excited that he almost cried out. He had conceived more than 30 ways to grab the opening before, but he never dared to think that it would be like this.

Mateucci stood up and didn't seem to be injured.

He strode forward and walked steadily towards the free throw position, while the rest of the crowd retreated to the top of the penalty area, waiting for the referee's instructions.

In the AC Milan gate, "New Buffon" Mazzarope bent his knees, put his hands on his chest, and assumed a standard goalkeeper posture.

At this time, after getting the order to make a free throw, Mateucci trotted forward a few steps and kicked the ball hard towards the goal.

Mateucci is also an old fritter. He not only has superb shooting skills, but also has strong feet. The key is that a mature man has a stable mentality. It is no problem to shoot into the goal from such a short distance.

But as soon as the ball was shot, Mateucci was taken aback. The opponent's goalkeeper easily guessed the direction of his shot.

With a "poof", the ball was held out by Mazzarope with both hands, and flew out of the penalty area.

The penalty was missed!

Ranocchia couldn't believe his eyes. The 19-year-old AC Milan goalkeeper actually saved the old fritter Mateucci's penalty.

But it was not the time to be surprised and regretful yet, Stefano was the first to rush forward, kicking the ball towards the goal again with his right foot.

"puff!"

Mazzarope jumped up and blocked the shot again.

This time the ball was caught by the AC Milan defender who was catching up. He made a big clearance and kicked the ball towards the midfielder.

"It's amazing!" Ranocchia shook his head when he saw the scene just now.

Excellent goal-line technique, quick second reaction, the performance of this Mazzalope just now really reminded him of Buffon.

Yue Feng looked at it from a distance, and also frowned.

It seems that Mazzalope's defensive ability has improved again, and it seems that one or two people can't deal with it.

Thinking of this, he secretly regretted it. If he had been in the penalty area just now, when Stefano failed to make a supplementary shot, he might be able to follow up and break through Mazzarope's goal.

But it's useless to think about it, the ball is coming towards him through AC Milan's backcourt at the moment.

Yue Feng had to work hard to deal with the opponent's ace player, the old fritter Griezmann among the old fritters.

AC Milan's tactics are clear.In their 4231 lineup, the two midfielders help make up for the broken defense, and among the three central midfielders, Griezmann is the core figure who connects the midfield and delivers shells for the team.

As long as the opposing midfielders have the ball, they pass directly into Empoli's back defense, and they don't even have to think about it, knowing that Griezmann will definitely run there in the next second.

Griezmann, who used to be the legendary "running back" when he was young, even if he retired to the midfield when he got older, he still lives mainly by his excellent running positions.

At this time, the ball was passed between Yue Feng and the midfielder Siredi by the opponent, and Griezmann quickly started to run towards the ball.

Seeing this, Yue Feng hurried forward, ready to intercept his opponent.
