The Young Lion

When Villa passed the ball back to Kaka, the experienced Cafu knew that he could not assist the defense in the middle of the penalty area. The research on Kaka is also one of the basis for this prediction.

So when Ram didn't rush up and there was no Millwall attack point on this side, Cafu simply rushed directly to the goal, intending to act as a wall to block the opponent's shot angle, which was a chance.

But he just became the key person to rescue him!

Kaka was in the same mood as all the audience: unbelievable!

Cafu blocked his must-goal on the line!

If the goal is scored and the score becomes 4:1, Milan will be declared dead!

While Kaka was shocked, she also fell into an extremely painful annoyance.

There are two dead ends on the left and right, why did he choose to push to the left?

Why did you give Kafu a chance to rescue him in danger?

Is it because the space between Maldini and Dida is slightly smaller, and he is worried that the push to the right will be blocked by Maldini's long legs? Or is it due to inertia to use the right foot to hit the left side?

It is impossible to pursue whether his choice at that moment was right or wrong. In short, Millwall missed a golden opportunity to completely kill the game.

Ancelotti almost collapsed on the sidelines, that moment really hit his heart a lot, almost made him choose to accept his fate in despair!

Fortunately, Dida disarmed, but Cafu accidentally prevented the situation from developing in an absolutely dark direction.

The ball blocked by Cafu was still in the penalty area, Dida turned around and immediately hugged the ball!

The Millwall players did not complain to the referee about the goalkeeper catching a pass from his teammate with his hands. It was obviously unreasonable, and Cafu blocked the goal on the goal line. It couldn't have been an intentional pass.

At this moment, Dida wanted to relieve the pressure, slow down the tempo, and calm the whole team, but Maldini shouted at him: Goal kick! Quick! Our people are still ahead! This is our team. Great opportunity!

Dida suddenly woke up. The Millwall players also recovered from the thunderbolt.

Yes, this offense can be said to be a fast break for Millwall to play Milan.

Full-back Kaladze is up front,

Rui Costa, Seedorf, Pirlo. They were also left behind by them in the fast break. Now, the offense has not been completed, and there is no set kick, and the game is still in circulation. Milan, in turn, had a golden chance.

This is the counterattack of counterattack!

Dida quickly threw the ball away, and he threw the ball directly towards the midfield. Seedorf stopped the ball smoothly under unmarked, turned around and passed the ball forward.

The moment Rui Costa knocked the ball back directly under the pinch defense and Pirlo ran up to the ball, the parallel position had already passed Alonso.

Alonso moved to Pirlo's side, and his movement caused Nesta, who was further back, to complain.

Because at this moment, the comparison of the offensive and defensive situation is that Milan does not have a complete advantage, but. After Alonso moved to Pirlo's side, the local situation on the other side changed drastically.

Presumably Alonso overlooked someone.

Karadze didn't go back!

Sure enough, Pirlo crossed the ball, and the ball returned to Seedorf's feet. And Seedorf has the space to go forward, he moves the ball forward calmly.

In order to prevent him from repeating his tricks and making a shocking long shot, De Rossi had to move to Seedorf again, at least use his stance to block a certain angle of his long shot.

The effect of pulling a hair and moving the whole body is produced instantly, and Rui Costa's room for movement has been released to a certain extent. Seedorf passed the ball to Rui Costa in front of the penalty area, who stopped the ball. No matter how straight it is, it will be done in one go!

His through ball was brilliantly slid across Millwall's backline. Passing between Nesta and Schneider, it can be called a through knife of a scalpel. Karazze went down behind Schneider, and swept the ball vigorously towards the goal without stopping. Nesta turned around and blocked it. The speed of movement is not too fast, so in this deep offensive defense, he can only watch the ball roll past his eyes, and at the point in front of the goal, Crespo rushes in front of Silva. !

The distance from the goal is too close, but there is no way for Bout. In the world, no goalkeeper can stop the opponent's goal unless he is lucky.

There was a strange atmosphere in the stadium stands.

The Milan fans were naturally ecstatic, while the Wild Lions fans were in a dream, as if a dream had suddenly turned into a nightmare!

Because almost 10 seconds ago, they were already preparing to cheer for Kaka, celebrating his goal, celebrating Millwall's expansion of the score to 4:1, and the Champions League champion is close at hand!

But now, they can only watch helplessly as the score on the scoreboard becomes 3:2.

Everything happened too fast, too dramatic and reversed.

Milan is not dead yet! Crespo's goal allowed Milan to dream of winning the championship! 3:2, 3:2, and the score gap returned to one goal. This is really an incredible offensive and defensive confrontation between the two sides. Er was about to score the fourth goal of the game, but Cafu saved Milan on the goal line, and Crespo gave Milan hope again with a goal. This is football, this is football, this is damn football ! Destiny will change drastically in an instant!

Ancelotti was really about to have a heart attack, and he didn't have time to sigh in his heart, Life's ups and downs are so exciting! After roaring in celebration of the goal, he made a gesture of pressing down on the players on the field to stabilize the team. stable!

Although Milan scored a goal, as the head coach, he couldn't ignore that Milan was almost hanged by a wild lion with a rope around his neck just now.

Karazze didn't play well in the first attack after being exposed, but he played an important role in the second wave of offense. He sent an assist, but if he continues to play like this, it is impossible for Milan to attack every time. There are heavenly soldiers on the goal line to save them!

Must be steady!

Millwall will definitely not give Karadze such a chance again, because time will be less and less, and Millwall is still leading the score.

Tactically, Ancelotti has no more preparations.

It cannot be said that he is at the end of his rope, but that he played for 90 minutes. Even in a 120-minute game, it is impossible for you to prepare n tricks for the team, which will make the team extremely confused. You must know that any conceived tactic depends on the whole team. Even if the goalkeeper is excluded, it is still the result of 10 people unifying their thinking and implementing it in a synchronized rhythm.

However, the head coach is not such a superficial job as arranging tactics, and it is not only tactics that can affect the progress of the game, it is the art of on-the-spot command. And most importantly: mentality!

After the game restarted, Millwall did not change their style of play, giving Milan enough attacking pressure to use active defense as the foundation of the game to ensure that their lead was not overturned.

The game is up to this time. Milan is quite helpless.

They have almost used up all the tricks they can use, and the unexpected points in the offense no longer exist. If Karadze dared to step forward and make a bold assist, Millwall dared to quickly shift the focus of attack to the defensive area that Karadze was originally in charge of!

This is a kind of posture suppression, which makes Karazze no longer dare to act rashly.

At the same time, as the game progressed, Milan's physical disadvantages began to emerge.

After all, they were still in the Serie A campaign at the same time, and Millwall won the championship two rounds ahead of schedule. The 10 days of the Premier League have also ended, and they are more energetic to prepare for this game.

Milan's disadvantages are becoming more and more obvious, which stems from the control of the midfield.

However, Millwall did not have too many unexpected offenses. Milan also has a little experience with their style of play in actual combat. This is different from pre-match preparation. As the game progresses, gradually adapt, at least in terms of awareness and prediction, it will be slightly improved than no amount of preparation.

Ancelotti was stern on the sidelines. He is waiting.

Wait for time!

It is now the 63rd minute of the game, basically 12 minutes later. That is to say, at 75 minutes, the game situation will change subtly.

This change comes from mentality.

If the game time is only the last 15 minutes. Millwall will face a choice: keep the victory!

A score of 3:2 is dangerous.

But when time is running out, it is impossible for Millwall to continue to attack boldly and aggressively, right?

Even the seemingly balanced posture now will take another step back, that is defense, extreme defense!

It is impossible for Millwall to be extremely defensive, at least as a team that has been shaped by the proud Aldridge to be invincible, it will not be the king of the Champions League with the utilitarian attitude of extreme defense!

So, from balanced to leaning defensively.

Millwall players will need mental adjustment.

This adjustment time will be the best time for Milan to make a last desperate move!

Although Millwall is strong, it still has shortcomings.

For example, Villa and Kaka, how many such peak battles have they participated in? In a game where no mistakes are allowed, will their mentality change be able to make a perfect transition?

Ancelotti is thinking, looking forward to, when the game time is passing by every minute.

Suddenly, a movement on the sidelines caused his pupils to shrink slightly, and he stared blankly at the coach's bench on the other side, with shock and panic flickering in his eyes.

The pictures that caught his eyes made him seem to lose the ability to think, lose hearing, and everything was completely silent.

He could only be passive and helpless, even he didn't want to admit it, he hoped that it was fake, it was an illusion!

Beside Aldridge, Nedved and Larson took off the jumpers of the substitute players, and after exchanging a few words with Aldridge with a normal expression, they walked to the sideline with ease while exercising their muscles and bones. next to the fourth official.

Obviously, Millwall is going to make a substitution!

And, change two at a time!

Ancelotti stared blankly at the substitution card played by the fourth official, staring at the substitution number on it.

After making sure that he was not mistaken, his facial expression changed somewhat ferociously, and he closed his eyes in despair.

Kaka, Villa, both were replaced!

Nedved, Larson, two battle-tested Millwall veterans came off the bench! (to be continued)
