92 Chapter 442

The final score in the first half was 1:0.

In the second half, Di Matteo took the initiative to change sides after changing sides.

In the 60th minute, he made a substitution adjustment.

Exit Mikel, enter Torres.

Substituting a striker for a midfielder is an obvious signal to strengthen the offense.

Obviously, today is Chelsea at home, Di Matteo does not want to lose.

After Torres played, Chelsea's formation also took advantage of the trend and became 442.

Although there is one less midfielder, Chelsea's midfield control may be further reduced, but now Di Matteo can't control that much.

Anyway, I can't beat you, why not have one more striker, 442 blast!
In this way, even if Milan's two central defenders can watch Drogba, they can't watch all the two forwards.

Under such adjustments, Chelsea's ball point also began to tilt to the side. The two full-backs and full-backs took the ball more, and then found an empty space in the middle to pass the ball to the two forwards.

Milan also responded immediately.

Allegri stood up and kept waving, letting Salah and Mane hug the sidewalk.

In this way, while attacking both sides of the opponent, it can also make the opponent's attack somewhat fearful.

Coupled with the midfield trio assisting the two wingers in the press, Chelsea's wing attack was not so smooth.

However, the combination of Torres + Drogba is still very powerful in itself.

In the 65th minute, their cooperation threatened Milan's goal.

Drogba received a long direct pass from the backcourt, and unloaded the ball directly on the grass with a chest. Torres, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed in the back row, followed up with a shot, but the ball was held down by Edson, who had a quick reaction.

In the 70th minute, Milan also started substitutions.

Seedorf and Aubameyang come on, replacing Salah and Mane.

This substitution also caused confusion among many fans and media reporters.

The commentator Zhan Jun was also puzzled and said:
"This substitution at AC Milan...is a bit strange."

"Seedorf usually plays in the middle of the midfield in Milan, close to the midfielder. And Aubameyang also appears more in the center position."

"Now that they have replaced the two wingers who performed well, what is Allegri thinking?"

"We'll just have to look at where they get on the pitch..."

This is what Pan Yi suggested to Allegri.

This is because, in the last 10 minutes, Pan Yi saw a hole in the front of Chelsea's penalty area.

After Torres came on the field, although their offense seemed to have improved, this was at the expense of protection in front of the penalty area.

After Mikel left the field, there are only Lampard and Essien in the middle of Chelsea's midfield. Lampard himself is more aggressive, which greatly weakens the defensive ability of the midfielder.

Therefore, at this time, Pan Yi replaced Seedorf and Aubameyang, who are good at attacking in the middle, on the field, just to seize the opponent's weakness and hit hard.

In addition, after 70 minutes of high-intensity pressing, Salah and Mane consumed most of their physical strength in hand-to-hand combat with their opponents. At this time, replacing them with two fresh troops with sufficient physical strength can further block the opponent's space.

After these two came on the field, Milan's formation became a bit weird 4312.

It is the same as the 4312 name that Allegri used last season, but it is actually not the same.

Both Aubameyang and Seedorf are behind Ibrahimovic, and Aubameyang is closer to the shadow forward between the two, while Seedorf is a bit to the left, saying it is 4321 Christmas tree formations are also possible.

But Pan Yi doesn't care much about the names of the specific formations now.

The formation is for tactics, as long as the tactics are appropriate, even a 10-0-0 formation is no problem.

And this substitution quickly created a threat.

After Aubameyang got the ball, he faced Ivanovic one-on-one to seek a breakthrough. When he saw Terry coming to help defend, he transferred the ball to Seedorf on the other side.

Seedorf took the lead before Cahill came up to block the long-range shot, but unfortunately it went over the bar.

……

Kanter actually felt a little tired today.

On the one hand, it was because the fighting in this game was really fierce, and he had to often help the two central defenders fight against the monster Drogba, which also consumed a lot of his physical energy;
On the other hand, after playing Real Madrid, Pan Yi specially approached him and asked him to do more offensive training.

In the past few weeks of tactical training, Pan Yi seems to be deliberately training him to become Milan's midfield offensive and defensive transition hub.

In other words, in the current Milan game, Kanter not only has to defend in place, but is also responsible for launching the offense.

Of course, this will put forward higher demands on his physical strength and energy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel tired even if he was asked to run the whole field non-stop.

"A sage named Lu in Longguo said that with great power comes great responsibility."

Kanter still remembered that Pan Yi had told him so.

Although he always felt that this sentence seemed to have been heard in some movie, but since the coach said so, it should be right.

So he was flattered, too.

He was originally just a black kid in a slum who made a living by picking up garbage, but now he was inexplicably picked up by Pan Yixiang to play football in Milan, and he was also the main player.

Not only that, Pan Yi also asked him not only to do dirty work on the court, but also to be an offensive organizer like Harvey and Zidane, and to develop in the direction of an all-around midfielder.

"Trust me, you just have the ability."

Of course, Kanter believed in Pan Yi's judgment, and also believed in his ability to do this.

Scholars die for those who know themselves.

So he's also trying to adapt to this new role, while also getting his body used to the intensity.

Hang in there and get through it!
He knew that as long as the body passed such a small limit, it would reach a new height.

……

The ball came again.

Thiago Silva assisted Van Dijk to snatch the ball away from Torres and it was immediately handed over to Kante.

Now this has become a habit.

As long as there are no other defensive players around Kanter, or there is no particularly good opportunity for a long pass in the frontcourt, the central defender will generally hand over the ball to Kanter.

Everyone also trusts this French teenager who is not strong, but is very good at creating space for himself while blocking the opponent's space.

And when Kante got the ball with his back, Chelsea's midfielder Lampard also rushed to defend.

But Kanter protected the ball, swayed to the left, and then moved the ball to the right with the sole of his foot.

The movement wobbled Lampard in an instant and Kante began dribbling towards Chelsea's goal.

Kante glanced up and saw that Aubameyang had already reached for the ball in the space on the right.

On the left, Seedorf was also standing there, but he was running in the direction of Kante, because he was used to approaching the center to receive the ball.

In a short period of time, Kante has chosen a passing route that he believes makes the most sense.

He handed the ball to Seedorf.

Because Chelsea's wing defense is relatively tight now, behind Aubameyang, Ashley Cole has already rushed up.

And in the middle, there is a lot of space!
After Kanter handed over the ball, his footsteps did not stop, but continued to run forward.

Seedorf stopped the ball, took advantage of the trend with a heel, and the ball returned to Kanter's feet!

At this time, the attention of Chelsea's defensive players was completely attracted by Seedorf, who was good at long-range shots, and there was already a flat river in front of Kanter!
"Danger!"

Terry exclaimed, but at this time Kanter had already kicked and shot.

The ball went in again! ! !
