Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 501 Declaration of Victory
The faces of the AC Milan players became ugly. They had seen hope, but Livermore shot and sent them to hell again.

The gap between the two goals weighed heavily on their hearts again, making AC Milan players feel a heavy burden on their shoulders, but the two goals are not an absolute gap. If they can catch up with the two goals, they can still tie.

Thinking about it this way, AC Milan regained confidence.

After the game restarted, AC Milan continued to attack Millwall in the half. They actively ran, actively fought, and also played smoothly. With AC Milan's wonderful performance, the Milan fans in the audience cheered. The sound also became louder again.

Many people have figured it out!

Although Millwall completed the goal, AC Milan has not lost yet, only two goals behind. Many fans and the media believe that with AC Milan's strength and performance, there is definitely a chance to catch up.

Milan fans cheered the team with shouts, while the Italian media used analysis to help AC Milan 'tell' a good situation, "4 to 2, it seems that Millwall has the advantage, but don't forget that this is At the San Siro Stadium, the first half is not over yet, two goals are nothing to AC Milan!"

The analysis of the Italian media is completely brainless and inclined to AC Milan. They have no choice, because AC Milan is the only hope for Italian football in the UEFA Champions League. Among the top four teams, three are English teams. The media very much hope that AC Milan will be able to beat the other three Premier League teams and win the UEFA Champions League trophy. By then, the Brits will surely die down. There is nothing more satisfying than letting the Brits’ dream of a civil war in the Champions League final be shattered. that's it.

If AC Milan wants to win the Champions League, they have to pass Millwall first.

Next, the Italian media conducted various analyzes of the game, using various examples, tactical analysis, performance analysis, etc., to explain that AC Milan has an advantage over Millwall, and that it is easy for AC Milan to score two goals.

All these analyzes are well-spoken, sounding very exciting, and people can't help but nod along, as if the game is like this, but no matter how good the analysis is, it can't affect the game.

In the rest of the first half, AC Milan took advantage of the situation, suppressed Millwall all the time, and scored three shots, but until the referee blew the final whistle, they did not score a single goal. Still 4 to 2.

----

Time to enter the intermission.

The players of the two teams returned to the locker room respectively, and their mentality was completely opposite.

When the Millwall players walked off the field, they all had relaxed smiles on their faces, while the AC Milan players all looked heavy. Few of them spoke. Most of the players walked back to the dressing room quickly.

In the Millwall dressing room.

Zhang Yang was the first to come back. He had been waiting for the players to return. After everyone came back, he smiled and praised the performance of the players. Let me emphasize again, you must play steadily, don't rush forward, don't rush to find opportunities, pass, cooperate, and even run, you must be more stable. The opponent is much more anxious than us!"

Zhang Yang repeatedly emphasized defense, "Defense is more important! As long as they don't score, we will win. In the second half, they will definitely attack more and more urgently, and what we need to do is to stick to it. When defending, leaving one person in the frontcourt is enough enough!"

Then Zhang Yang arranged the game for the second half.

The overall formation and personnel have not changed. Zhang Yang's main emphasis is on defense, because he has two scoring advantages, and he can be more patient than AC Milan if he does a good job of defense.

No doubt Millwall was more patient.

AC Milan will definitely become more and more anxious. If they cannot tie for a long time, they will not have the energy to take care of the defense in the backcourt, and it will be Millwall's opportunity at that time.

This style of play has a collective name - defensive counterattack.

Millwall is going to play a defensive counterattack. With two defensive midfielders, four backs, and three forwards who are constantly retreating, the defensive strength is enough. A fast and skilled Darren Bent in the front is enough to give AC Milan poses a deadly threat.

AC Milan dressing room.

Silence is the main theme.

Ancelotti stood in the middle of the crowd. Looking at the expressions of the players, he first coughed lightly to attract attention, and then he opened his mouth to analyze the first half, explaining that "it's not because they didn't play well that they didn't play well." , It's just good luck', so as to cheer up the AC Milan players.

This is necessary.

The first half was a one-to-one match. Considering the score of the two rounds, AC Milan will definitely not be happy. Every player has heavy eyes in his heart, so he must find a way to let them relax.

After encouraging everyone a little, Ancelotti talked about the strategy for the second half, and his main emphasis was on offense.

AC Milan has no other options.

Millwall leads by two goals and has the absolute initiative. They have flexible choices. They can attack and defend in the game. AC Milan is different. When they are behind, it is meaningless to emphasize defense. They must take the initiative , and it is a high-intensity offensive that can hope to tie the score.

Soon the second half began.

In the opening stage, AC Milan launched an extremely high-intensity offensive and suppressed Millwall for 5 consecutive minutes. They kept finding ways to break through Millwall's defense.

Throughs, lobs, breakthroughs, etc.

AC Milan's offensive play is indeed very exciting, but facing Millwall's full-line defense, it is difficult for them to find an effective way to score.

During the half-time break, Ancelotti said that there are many ways to score goals, and AC Milan must come to the field to try, including relying on Kaka and Pirlo to break through, and passing the ball directly to the goal, allowing Gilardino, West Dorff waits for the players to compete for points, and then relies on cooperation to pull the space, allowing Cafu to wait and insert, and capable players provide space for long-range shots.

and many more.

These ways of breaking the door are not very effective.

Perhaps because of the player's performance problems, the Brazilian star Kaka, who has high hopes from the Italian media and Milan fans, has fallen into the quagmire of defense. Under Livermore's strict marking, let alone a personal breakthrough, he even There is no room to start.

There is also a difference in dribbling.

Players like Pirlo are best at controlling the ball in a small area. His foot skills are quite flexible, so he is called a "football control master". If you want to grab the ball at Pirlo's feet, you must be prepared I have been prepared in my heart.

Kaka is also good at breakthroughs, but it is the opposite of Pirlo's type.

Kaka is the kind of player who is good at speed. When he rushes up with the ball, it is difficult to be stopped. With his super explosive power and speed, he only needs a change of direction to pass the defender.

This type of player is most afraid of intensive defense.

In a small space, explosive power and speed cannot be brought out, and even if you get the ball, you can't rush at all. If you want to pass others, you must rely on the ability to control the football.

Faced with Millwall's intensive defense, Kaka was a little lost. Let alone rushing to pass, he would have problems connecting the ball. Livermore has been standing by Kaka's side, and the nearest Millwall players also I will come over to help defend, so that Kaka can't cooperate with his teammates normally.

Kaka's point was blocked, and AC Milan's goal was also greatly affected.

At this time, the most threatening player in the AC Milan team became Pirlo.

Pirlo has been standing on the periphery of the penalty area and rarely runs towards it, but he is a game commander, and his teammates are happy to pass the ball. Pirlo's personal rhythm is a bit slow. He often stops the ball, controls the ball, and then sweeps Take a look at the position of your teammates, pass the football to the most appropriate point, or directly find an opportunity to stuff it into the penalty area, posing a threat to Millwall's goal.

This play still works.

It is impossible for any line of defense to be without loopholes. Opponent players may actively create loopholes if they keep moving in the penalty area. If Pirlo is allowed to play like this wantonly, it is really only a matter of time before Millwall is scored. Morris immediately waved his hand , let Braniff pay more attention to Pirlo, and don't let the opponent pass the ball so easily.

This works a bit.

Braniff's defensive ability is not bad, at least much better than Simpson and other forward players. Even if he just stands next to Pirlo, when the opponent is in possession of the ball, he will no longer be so casual and steady. transfer.

Among the Millwall team, the best performer was Morris.

Pirlo is the commander of AC Milan's offense, and Morris is the commander of Millwall's defense.

Morris not only commanded his teammates to defend, but also kept running personally, helping Millwall erect a defense line at the front of the penalty area.

The job is usually Livermore's.

Livermore is focusing on marking Kaka, and the one who keeps running becomes Morris. Morris's physical fitness must not keep up with Livermore, but his running is more efficient. Most of his running can attack AC Milan. He poses a threat and appears again and again in key defensive positions.

AC Milan was very distressed by Morris' defense. They tried their best and continued to cooperate to break through Millwall's midfield defense, but in the past they had to face a more solid defense.

The game fell into a stalemate.

AC Milan was unable to break through Millwall's goal. Under the pressure of AC Milan, Millwall had too few frontcourt players and it was difficult to counterattack.

Neither team could score.

This format is good for Millwall because Millwall have the score advantage.

As time passed, AC Milan played more and more impatiently. Correspondingly, Millwall also gradually played a fast-break threat.

Seeing Millwall's fast break and continuously threatening AC Milan's goal, the Italian media became a little anxious.

At this time, the live broadcast of the British BBC switched to the Millwall coach's bench, and Zhang Yang walked to the sidelines with his arms crossed and a relaxed smile on his face.

When he noticed the camera lens, Zhang Yang turned his head to face the camera, the smile on his face became more intense, and at the same time he raised his right index finger and middle finger at the same time, and made a "V" victory gesture in front of his neck. Obvious.

Lineker interpreted, "Zhang Yang has made a victory declaration!"

"His actions are a bit secretive, but it is also understandable. At present, AC Milan is two goals behind, and if he publicly declares victory, it may anger Milan fans..."

PS: It is said that it is popular to predict the World Cup score. Tonight, Argentina will play against France. It is probably difficult for both teams to play. The probability of a draw is relatively high, right?
Little X also made a prediction: 1:1 in regular time, no goals in overtime, and Argentina won the penalty shootout.

But in fact, little X is Messi black...
