[football] walk side by side

When the AC Milan players walked back to their own half and kicked off again, everyone could clearly see that the rhythm of AC Milan had changed again!

If the attack in the first minute of the game was as fast as lightning, then AC Milan at this time has entered a leisurely and leisurely rhythm like dusk.

They did not give up their offense, but they would not easily stay away from their own half. Even if Porto deliberately exposed some gaps under Deco's organization, the AC Milan players seemed to have not seen it, and looked after themselves. guarding their own half acre of land.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that AC Milan intends to hold 1-0 until the end of the game.

AC Milan's defense line is not easy to break. When AC Milan decides to defend wholeheartedly, this difficulty will be more serious.

Ancelotti's tactical style for AC Milan is - midfield control, offensive penetration.Kaka, Pirlo, and Seedorf firmly controlled the ball at their own feet, and Gennaro Gattuso in the defensive midfielder was in charge of the defensive midfielder. Many ordinary teams played against AC Milan. Every time, this engineer-like defensive player will directly cut off the opponent's offense with his rich and exquisite stealing skills.

In other words, when many teams face AC Milan, it is difficult to break through the midfield alone, because AC Milan's defense is established from the possession of the midfield, and AC Milan's midfield advantage allows them to often pass everything. Danger is nipped in the bud. Even against the reinforced concrete defense line composed of strong European teams, Cafu, Maldini, Nesta and Costacurta, they can firmly hold the gate of AC Milan.

And the few forwards who can break through this line of defense, they also need to face Dida, a World Cup champion-level goalkeeper.

Cyril himself tried a breakthrough.

He found that the defensive line composed of Kaka, Pirlo and Seedorf in the midfield was not too difficult. What was sad was Gennaro Gattuso, a defensive midfielder who rarely excels on the offensive line. The performance, but in the defensive position has done extremely well.

His unyielding fighting spirit and never-tiring running all over the field make him often appear in various gaps of AC Milan in a timely manner. Not only that, he also often performs very fiercely in the fight. The face that caused misunderstanding, some young players were a little scared before they met him.

In the 306th minute of the game, Cyril was knocked to the ground by Gattuso in a one-on-one breakthrough.

Immediately boos from the Porto fans sounded in the stands. From their point of view, it must have been the arrogant guy who hit him hard, while the AC Milan fans booed loudly back. Weak, look at his body, it has nothing to do with us Gattuso.

At the same time, the players on both sides quickly divided into confrontations on both sides, and the referee on the other side hurried over immediately.

Can you not panic?

This season, Gattuso is notorious in Serie A. He often clashes with players from other teams. He is well known as the "butcher". Hitting a shot, the most serious one is being suspended directly after the shot.

When the referee ran over, Gattuso cursed at Cyril for diving, and Costinha, who was not much better-tempered, also seemed to have the urge to "talk" to him about diving. He was pulled by the players of both sides.

The referee ignored the various explanations of the players on both sides, and he went straight to Cyril: "How do you feel?"

When there are some free kicks that can be awarded or not awarded, the referee sometimes listens to the opinion of the side hit.

All eyes were on Cyril.

The AC Milan players walked towards their own half and began to line up the wall-in their view, the referee's question already meant that he was biased towards the side that was hit. After all, which player would let go? How about a good free kick?

But Cyril was obviously an exception.

At this time, Cyril had already stood up. During the tense cross-examination of several Porto players who were frightened by Cyril's last injury, he waved his hand: "I'm fine."

The referee paused when he was about to take out the cards from his pocket, and the AC Milan players who were about to line up the wall were also stunned. No one thought that Cyril would choose not to take this free kick.

Strictly speaking, this free kick is indeed a bit far away, and it is difficult to hit it with one blow, but if it is well coordinated, it may not be a good offensive opportunity for Porto, but facing this opportunity, Cyril chose to refuse.

Seeming to understand something from the astonishment of everyone, Cyril shook his head: "The kick just now was indeed for the ball, and it was not a malicious foul. Can the game be restarted now?"

It is obviously the first time for the referee to encounter such a situation, but this does not affect him to have a better impression of this Porto player. Those players can be said to be eager for free kicks and penalties to the point where they can dive at any time , How annoying these players are to the referee, at this time the referee is full of affection for Cyril.

After the referee blew the whistle to continue the game, Cyril trotted to his position with a calm face.

Why would you deny this free kick?

Firstly, when Gattuso found that he had a tendency to almost kick Cyril, he completely withdrew his strength-it may be unbelievable to say it, but Gattuso is indeed the kind of player who intercepts fiercely and tackles cleanly. Although he has a bad temper, he has never fouled an opposing player maliciously.

If he is really pissed off by the opponent, this upright engineer will fight the opponent directly on the court, and will not use bad tackles to hurt the opponent's career.

Secondly, referees are also human beings, and their judgments will be slightly affected by subjective emotions. Although it is often not an important judgment, in some positions that can be judged or not, they will definitely favor players they like.

Regular diving will allow the referee to punish the player for diving when he is not sure whether he is diving; and if a player has accumulated enough reputation, he will also be believed by the referee when he is suspected of diving.

These small places may seem insignificant, but they can also play an important role at some critical times.

A free kick in the European Super Cup, Cyril still doesn't see it.

However, what Cyril didn't know was that not only the referee, but also Gennaro Gattuso himself was responsible for this accident.

When he noticed this young man at the beginning of the game, Gattuso was actually very disdainful because of his appearance prejudice-as a proper pure man, what he looked down on the most were those players who fell to the ground at every turn , After standing up, he was still babbling in front of the referee, like a bitch.

Football is a man's sport, so it should be fanatical and passionate.Crying in front of the referee at every turn, what's the difference between this fucking and a softie?

This Porto player is not bad, although his face does not look like a football player, but he is tough enough, he is a man!

Cyril didn't know that the collision just now made Gattuso change his opinion. At this moment, he stood in the position of the front midfielder, frowning and thinking.

Gattuso's skills are rough and true, but his interception and tackles are really good. For players who cannot tackle the ball by themselves, he will directly use the fouls allowed in the rules to solve them.

In this way, with his defensive ability, it is inevitable that a single breakthrough is not advisable, and it is easy to knock him over directly. Even if he passes Gattuso, he will easily be cleared by the well-prepared Milan defender behind.

You have to consider the cooperation of multiple people to break through.

In the 40th minute of the game, Deco launched another attack. He distributed the ball to Cyril. After receiving the ball, Cyril and Del Rey made a cooperation of hitting the wall and defeated AC Milan's midfield defense in one fell swoop. For Nesta's press, Del Rey passed a cross to McCarthy, who raised his foot to shoot, but was squeezed by the tall Costacurta, and the ball flew out of the goal frame.

In the 403rd minute of the game, the ball was kicked out of the baseline by Cafu to make a clearance.

Seeing the passing of time every minute and every second, Porto almost launched a direct bombing against AC Milan, but AC Milan is like an island standing still in the rough sea, letting it be blown by the wind and rain, standing still.

Until the end of the first half, Porto failed to change the score on the field.

During the intermission, Mourinho did not blame anyone. On the contrary, what greeted the Porto players was the coach's praise.

"You have done a good job," Mourinho gently comforted his players: "Although we failed to score a goal, our performance in the first half proved that even we can threaten AC Milan's goal, even if the opponent is the champion of the Champions League last season, we can not lose the wind on the scene."

"No matter what the result of this game is, I hope you can go all out, and then go to the next game with positive emotions."

The reaction of the Porto players satisfied Mourinho.

This team was not frustrated because of the missed shots in the first half. They already had the never-give-up fighting spirit that a football team should have. This is more important than the outcome of this game.

However, at this moment, another voice that no one would be unfamiliar with sounded.

"Sir, I have a request." The voice turned all eyes to Cyril who was sitting in the corner. From entering the dressing room to now, Cyril seems to have been silently in a daze. It was this little teammate who was hit by AC Milan's midfielder.

"what's up?"

Cyril took a deep breath and said every word: "In the second half of the game, I want to change positions with Deco."

Before Mourinho could react, Boas frowned and winked at Cyril desperately.

Deco's position is the defensive midfielder, and Cyril's position is the front midfielder. In fact, these two positions can organize offenses. Even if Deco stands on the front midfielder to organize, there will be no problem.

The problem is that the front midfielder is closer to the opponent's midfielder than the back midfielder!Cyril's request to change positions like this makes it easy for people to think that his self-confidence was hit by AC Milan players, so he chose to retreat to the second line, which is an escape!

But with Mourinho's temperament, he can accept that his players are not performing well and are out of form, but he can never bear that his disciples choose to lose without fighting!

Even if it was Cyril who made this request, Mourinho would never let go of such a player who has no fighting spirit!
