Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

"Inzaghi! It's still Inzaghi! It was just a moment of opportunity, and he seized it!"

"Kaká's sudden breakthrough tore apart Leeds United's defense. Inzaghi's deft and agile movement was simply a textbook interpretation of anti-offside!"

"Too bad, Leeds United are trailing 1:2 to AC Milan. Ancelotti is likely to make adjustments to strengthen his control of the situation!"

AC Milan is partying.

Inzaghi, who is about to turn 34, becomes the protagonist of this game.

This is the fate of opportunistic forwards.

Don’t die in silence, just shine in silence!

break out?

Where did the outbreak come from?

So far in the game, Inzaghi may not even have touched the ball 10 times.

Editing out his touches on the ball, he touched the ball about the same number of times when scoring goals and kick-offs.

Add up before and after, no more than 30 seconds.

Leeds United fans fell into a brief silence, and everyone's mind went blank.

I don't know how to face this situation.

Shen Hao arranged the tasks for Rivaldo step by step after playing.

Before that, he also asked the assistant coach to call Ze Roberto and Davis to warm up.

Originally, Davis was not included in the substitution plan.

But now Leeds are trailing.

The remaining time of the game is only a little over 20 minutes.

Leeds United can't afford it.

Do you really wait until the last few minutes to risk your life?

No.

Your life is hanging by a thread now!

Before Leeds United kicked off, Rivaldo came on to replace Deisler.

Deisler can still rush and run.

But now Leeds United need more subtlety and creativity in attack.

The 35-year-old Rivaldo went all out to burn his physical energy, and Shen Hao didn't even think about overtime.

All it takes is Rivaldo to shine in the next 20 minutes.

He took the initiative to greet Deisler on the sidelines, hugged him, and recognized his performance today.

Ribery's goal was an assist from Deisler.

Leeds United kick off.

There was no swift onslaught.

Instead, he patiently organized and then advanced forward.

Candela assisted to the frontcourt, but it was a feint from the left.

Shen Hao had carefully practiced this during the pre-game tactical deployment.

If the opponent is not a wealthy opponent, the feint attack only requires Ribery to cut inside to form a containment, which is basically enough.

But for top players like AC Milan, it seems too weak. Candela must assist to the frontcourt to form a momentum, in order to truly achieve the effect of feint attack.

Ribery passed the ball back and Rui Costa shifted the attack to the right.

Rivaldo took possession of the ball and dribbled inside.

Seedorf's press was deflected by Rivaldo, who controlled the ball at his feet, and then Gattuso tried to intercept.

Rivaldo moved the ball slightly toward the center of the penalty area.

Ronaldo volleyed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Rivaldo made a forward move and was flanked by Maldini and Jankulovsky. He first stopped the ball and then pulled the ball back. Then he passed the ball back in an inverted triangle to the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Ronaldo is no longer there, he comes forward.

Jamie Redknapp, who followed up from the back row, hit the ball and shot!

The football flew towards the lower left corner of AC Milan's goal.

However, on the way into the penalty area, Nesta extended his leg at the expense of his body imbalance and just used his foot to pad the ball.

The football refracted and bounced, flying over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

Maldini pulled Nesta up and the two world-class centre-backs high-fived each other.

The scene is thrilling.

If Nesta hadn't blocked the ball, I'm afraid Jamie Redknapp would have helped Leeds United equalize the score.

When Leeds United's corner kick attack failed, AC Milan was preparing to open the door.

Leeds United continues to make substitutions.

Davis and Ze Roberto appear.

Rui Costa and Roy Keane were substituted.

Both men's physical fitness has begun to decline.

Kaka's breakthrough just now must be related to this point.

When Leeds United fans saw Rui Costa off the field, they always felt that the team's organizational creativity would plummet.

But still out of trust in Shen Hao, I look forward to the team's performance becoming stronger after the substitution.

Ancelotti remains on hold for now.

In fact, AC Milan only has one team.

In terms of lineup thickness, they are not as good as Leeds United.

Of course, with the thickness of Leeds United's current team, it is definitely much better than the past two years.

For example, Owen and Modric couldn't even make the roster.

Leeds United used up all three substitutions.

Although AC Milan did not make any substitutions, it obviously began to strengthen control.

Leeds United's substitutions were made in advance.

Davis, who just came on the scene, actively scrambled and harassed AC Milan's midfielder.

With the addition of Rivaldo, Ribery and Ronaldo, the intensity of Leeds United's frontcourt harassment has been significantly increased.

When Kaka once again made a dash in the frontcourt, Leeds United suddenly launched an all-out attack!

The back line pressed forward collectively, and the United midfielder completed the blockade of Kaká.

Kaka subconsciously passed the ball forward.

As a result, it was clear that Inzaghi was offside.

Ancelotti frowned.

He suddenly felt a frightening feeling.

After Leeds United made the substitution, there was no gap in the tacit understanding of the players.

He even suspected that Shen Hao's substitution sent a signal to the players on the field that they had made a plan before the game.

As a head coach, of course you will think about adjustments if the score falls behind.

This is the second hand.

The most basic adjustment for the backhand is how to adjust the offense.

Because the score is behind, of course we need to score goals, and scoring goals depends more on the performance of the forwards.

However, Leeds United's backhand adjustments are also carefully deployed on the defensive end.

If Shen Hao's age was increased by 20 years, everything might seem logical.

But Leeds United's performance directly reflected the head coach's scheming.

Of course, fans watching the game won't think about this.

But Ancelotti was very interested in it, which aroused more reveries.

Occupational diseases of head coaches.

Leeds United's offensive advance in the frontcourt is very simple.

Without Rui Costa, it is naturally impossible to play too delicately.

That would just be a waste of time.

Leeds United's offense became simple and crude again, but it was obvious that the midfield substitution injected vitality and brought an increase in rhythm.

AC Milan made continuous rescues but was still bombarded by Leeds United.

Ancelotti frowned slightly.

Just after the 75th minute of the game, Rivaldo cut in from the right to receive the ball, but when Jankulovsky came to press, he pulled the ball in front of him and changed direction to go outside to complete the breakthrough.

Yankulovsky turned around and put down a shovel to try to destroy it.

But he failed to touch the football and swept Rivaldo to the ground.

He took the initiative to pull Rivaldo up.

Attitude is good.

But he couldn't escape a yellow card.

Ancelotti saw this and was on the safe side.

Let Kaladze warm up.

Leeds United attack from set pieces.

Rivaldo dropped the ball into the penalty area and Nesta headed the ball to clear the ball.

The football happened to fly near Kaká, and Davis had to take a foul at this time.

Afraid of catastrophic consequences if Kaka is activated.

As soon as Kaka stopped the ball and dodged, Davis deliberately knocked him away during the press.

Kaka fell to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Take out the yellow card.

Leeds United fans are still cheering at the top of their lungs.

It didn't look like Leeds United could break through AC Milan's goal.

Because it failed to achieve a clear advantage.

However, in a competition of this level, if one side is at a clear disadvantage, it would be a bit abnormal.

After all, the strength gap between the two teams is not huge.

Shen Hao paid close attention to the game and gave gestures to the team from time to time to remind them of offense and defense.

He will also cheer the players on every time the ball is dead.

As the 80th minute approached, AC Milan made a substitution.

Kaladze replaced Jankulovski.

Leeds United continued to bombard the frontcourt hard.

After 80 minutes of the game, Kaka's physical fitness began to show signs of decline.

The frequency of starting bursts decreases. If there is no particularly good opportunity, he will choose to pass the ball to his teammates safely.

Leeds United's frontcourt siege seems to be reaching its physical limit.

This moment is the most dangerous.

Once continued efforts are not rewarded, players can easily be affected by pressure and their performance will be affected.

In the 84th minute of the game, Candela made a cross from the left side of the frontcourt at a 45-degree angle.

Maldini retreated to the small penalty area and headed the ball to clear the ball.

Although Gattuso defeated Jamie Redknapp in the scramble, his clearance gave the ball to Ze Roberto.

Ze Roberto once again passed the ball diagonally to the wing. Candela responded just in time when he retreated. After controlling the ball, he adjusted and sent a direct pass.

Ribery stopped the ball on the front wing, moved towards the baseline and drove the AC Milan defense to retreat, and then he chose to pass back.

Candela rushed up and sent another cross.

This time the ball was cleared by Nesta in front of the penalty area.

Inzaghi tried to grab the spot in the midline, but was no match for Stam. The latter headed the ball over, and Kompany responded and sent a through pass.

Jamie Redknapp looked left and right as he retreated to receive the ball. After seeing the situation clearly, he passed the ball diagonally to the left wing again.

Candela looks busy.

After receiving the ball again, he did not choose to cross again, but crossed to the center.

Ze Roberto came up with an assist, met the ball and sent a direct pass to the ground.

Ronaldo took the initiative and passed the ball across the left.

Ambrosini's press failed.

Ronaldo turned and advanced into the penalty area.

Ribery moved the ball from the wing and retreated to widen the distance between him and Odo, and then he still made a pass.

Seeing that the ball was on Ronaldo's path, Nesta was out of reach at the front point. At the critical moment, Maldini took the lead and hit Ronaldo in front to make another header.

Leeds United fans are a little desperate!

AC Milan's defense is simply impregnable!

Can't get in at all!

But Ancelotti frowned on the sidelines!

It seems that Leeds United's attack is not threatening.

However, AC Milan was unable to control the ball after the clearance.

This is very problematic!

This time, the football that Maldini headed out seemed to be flying towards Pirlo, but just as Pirlo was about to stop the ball, Davis rushed out from the side and jumped in the air. Chest unloading!

Before the football hit the ground, he reluctantly kicked the ball to the right with the arch of his foot.

Jamie Redknapp received the ball with his back from the front right, stopped the ball, turned around and passed the ball diagonally to the right!

The attack has shifted!

Rivaldo started to cut inside, took the ball and immediately picked up the speed and moved forward. He also rushed forward and got rid of Kaladze's pursuit.

Maldini quickly rushed toward him, and Rivaldo made a pass after entering the right rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Maldini raised his leg to intercept.

But after lifting his leg, he could clearly see that Rivaldo's swing of his right leg slowed down significantly.

The change in pace frightened Maldini.

Should we pass or continue to push forward?

neither!

It's indeed a cross!

But the speed of the swinging leg fell slower, and there was a gap in the rhythm. Not only did Maldini fail to block it successfully, but he was also hit through the wicket by Rivaldo's pass!

The ball rolled under Maldini's raised leg.

Maldini screamed in his heart and turned around before his legs fell.

The football quickly rolled towards the center of the goal.

Ronaldo took the initiative to move and take the opportunity to shoot directly!

Nesta gritted his teeth and rushed to intercept. Just before Ronaldo touched the ball, Nesta tried to block Ronaldo's shooting angle with his extreme shovel.

He released the shovel.

Ronaldo did not shoot, but chose to stop the ball.

Stop the ball with the outside instep of your right foot, then quickly spike the ball laterally to the left.

After he and Nesta staggered past, Gattuso was about to return to defense to make up for the loss.

Ronaldo glanced at the goal, and instead of switching to his right foot, he poked the ball out with the toes of his left foot.

This allowed him to stop the ball, spike the ball, pull it horizontally, and shoot. It seemed that a series of actions were done in one go, without any lag in the middle.

The next second after the football flew out, Gattuso arrived.

late!

Dida didn't expect Ronaldo to stab the ball with his left foot and subconsciously saved it on the spot.

The football rolled quickly against the turf toward the goal and finally veered towards the lower left corner.

Dida landed slowly.

The football rolled across the goal line, and he fell to the ground. Looking back, his face was full of confusion!

The Athens Olympic Stadium suddenly felt like the earth was shaking!

All Leeds United fans almost cried with joy!

"In! Ronaldo! At the critical moment, Ronaldo stepped forward!"

"The 13th goal in the Champions League this season. Ronaldo's goal brought Leeds United back to life! This is an opportunity created by the team's unremitting efforts. It is the connection between Brazil's two golden ball gentlemen. It is the reward for Leeds United's resistance. !”

"It's not easy, it's not easy, but I still have to say that Rivaldo played a key role. Now I finally understand why Brother Hao put Rivaldo on the bench. Maybe the situation when he came on was not ideal, but It will definitely give this 35-year-old superstar a more ideal environment to perform!"

"Yes, all the starting players have begun to decline in physical fitness after long and fierce battles, but Rivaldo, who came on the scene after 70 minutes, has plenty of physical fitness. In addition, some AC Milan defensive players have yellow cards and are defensively aggressive. It’s bound to decline.”

"Ronaldo's goal is not enough to realize our dream, but at least it allows us to once again look forward to the miracle of the dark horse in white!"

Ancelotti was stunned.

What are you afraid of!

I thought Leeds United was forced to counterattack, but in fact there was no good way to break through AC Milan's defense.

At this moment, I realized belatedly that Shen Hao's substitutions were combined with the continuous bombing of the counterattack.

Isn't this the characteristic of Premier League teams?

Looking at it statically, AC Milan's defense is tight and impregnable.

But the game is dynamic.

Leeds United wants the game to continue to put pressure on AC Milan's defense at a fast pace.

Look for opportunities and loopholes in the gaps between their defense and adjustments.

In terms of style alone, today's Leeds United has switched postures and changed their playing methods many times under different situations.

Ancelotti was inexplicably afraid of Shen Hao!
