Chapter 97 Surprising First Half
Fiori made a world-class save, which also gave Ancelotti a breath in the stands. It seemed lucky for him that the ball just now could be blocked.
Luck!
Ancelotti held his shoulder and looked at the situation on the field, as if AC Milan was really lucky in this game.
Bayern Munich's corner kick came out and was directly intercepted by Fiori and held in his arms. Bayern's first attack after the opening ended here.
In the next game, the initiative is still in the hands of Bayern Munich, while AC Milan retreated from the whole line. It can be seen that they plan to hold a draw and then eliminate Bayern with away goals.
In the eighth minute of the game, Bayern Munich, which had always had the advantage, suddenly had a short circuit. Demichelis made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt, Sergio intercepted the ball from the left side, and AC Milan's formation immediately pressed forward and launched a counterattack. Serginho ran more than ten meters with the ball, his left foot reached the back post, Degan Killing at the same time as Inzaghi, Kahn also rushed towards the back doorpost.
Serginho's pass was a little forward. If Degan wanted to rush to the top, it seemed a little reluctant, and Kahn had blocked the angle of the shot. At this moment, Degan quickly made a choice. Instead of shooting directly, he gently pushed the ball. The football bypassed Kahn's finger and returned In the middle, Zaji flew up, made a header and rushed to the far corner. AC Milan led 1:0!
Inzaghi scored four consecutive games against Bayern Munich, worthy of the name of the "Bayern killer". In 2002, in the confrontation between the two teams, Inzaghi scored three goals in two games, this time without exception, scoring two consecutive goals.
After scoring the goal, Inzaghi looked very excited and jumped directly towards Degan, knocking Degan to the ground, and then other Milan players also rushed over and joined the celebration.
Milan fans at the scene did not expect happiness to come so quickly. AC Milan was besieged by Bayern Munich just now. Who knew that the form on the court suddenly changed. AC Milan's counterattack with a break from the ball actually broke through Bayern's goal.
Magat in the stands was also stunned. He never thought that his team would fall behind. Now if they want to eliminate AC Milan, they have to score at least two goals.
If it hadn't been for the suspension and could only sit in the stands, he would have rushed to the sidelines and scolded the players on the field, but looking at the two UEFA staff around him, he could only sigh helplessly, hoping that the players could adjust themselves.
The loss of a goal obviously caught Bayern Munich's players off guard, and the initiative on the court was actually taken by AC Milan.
In the 13th minute, Kaka's breakthrough was tripped over by Lucio. Degan made a free kick on the left side, and Demichelis headed the ball in front of the goal. Kahn was shocked and retreated repeatedly. Fortunately, even if his reaction was not bad, he jumped up and confiscated the ball.
Although the goal did not score, Degan also felt that the game did not seem to be as difficult as he thought!
Since then, AC Milan, which has had the advantage, continued to launch a fierce attack. In the 15th minute, Pirlo's left corner kick went straight to the back point outside, and Rui Costa hit the ball with a volley, higher than the crossbar.
In the 23rd minute, AC Milan throws a sideline ball on the right side, and Inzaghi turned around on the right side of the penalty area and was knocked down by Lucio. Penalty!
The referee directly awarded a penalty and gave Lucio a yellow card!
At this time, the Milan players on the court are a little stunned. The originally planned battle, the bitter battle, seems to be a little surprising.
Pirlo came forward and took the penalty, but his right foot shot slipped out of the left post, and AC Milan missed the opportunity to expand the score.
However, Degan didn't feel too annoyed. The game seemed to be under the control of AC Milan.
Pirlo missed the penalty, but then he made up for his mistake. In the 25th minute, Simic made a cross from the right, and Lucio headed the ball out of the penalty area. Pirlo quickly moved to the ball and waved his legs to shoot. Lucio and Demikelis came forward at the same time to block it, but did not wait for Pirlo's shot. At the door, Pirlo saw someone blocked, and the ready shooting action immediately changed. It was changed to a straight plug ball. Degan quickly started, got rid of Lizarazu, who made up for the defense, and pushed the shot with one foot. Kahn was caught off guard and could only watch the football roll into the far corner, 2:0!
What people predicted before the game has become a big joke. It is generally believed that AC Milan will usher in their toughest game of the season in San Siro. It is not surprising that there is such a key. After all, AC Milan's lineup is not neat, and the club has gradually lost patience with Ancelotti. AC Milan should be in turmoil now.
In particular, Fiori, the third goalkeeper of the team, is standing in front of the goal! As long as Fiori makes a mistake in the game, AC Milan will be finished immediately.
But in fact, the game is not only not difficult, but even AC Milan is very relaxed.
Fiori sent a world-class save at the beginning of the game, blocking Barak's long-range shot and Pizarro's make-up shot, and then what happened?
AC Milan actually scored two goals in a row and missed a penalty to expand the score.
If Pirlo hadn't pursued the angle too much, perhaps he would have lost the suspense by this time the game went on.
What the hell is going on?
It is not only those bystanders, but also Milan fans. Obviously, the development of the game has been beyond their acceptance.
Before the start of the game, even the most hardcore Milan fans were pessimistic about the team's prospects. In their opinion, if AC Milan could have the courage to fight in San Siro, they should be satisfied, but now the team has led by two goals.
Those reporters directly deleted the manuscripts that had been written in the computer. They generally looked down on AC Milan and were slapped twice in the face by AC Milan.
What does it mean that mourners must win!
Look at AC Milan, there is no better explanation than this!
After losing two goals in a row, Bayern Munich's players also suddenly woke up and found that the situation was very unfavorable to them, but now the game has only lasted more than 20 minutes.
Strike back!
Must fight back!
In the 30th minute, Bayern Munich's free kick was blocked, but the football did not fly far. After Schwein Steiger got the ball, it was handed over to Deisler. Deisler moved forward along the right side. Serginho obviously could no longer pose a threat to Deisler in speed. Deisler easily completed the cross, after Mackay Point and shoot, but it's a pity that it's offside first.
In the 34th minute, Schweinsteg passed the ball after breaking through. Barak cut in the left side, or Karadze's problem. When staring at Barak, he was obviously a little absent-minded. After dunked Karadze, Barak shot directly 25 meters in front of the goal and shot with his right foot. , the football is slightly off the post.
In the 35th minute, Bayern Munich's wild attack finally paid off. Gattuso fouled Saniol and was warned by a yellow card. Schweinsteg took a free kick 25 meters in front of the goal. The ball passed through the middle and flew directly to the goal. Fiori was caught off guard and could only block the ball with his leg. Pizarro, who followed on the left, was 7 meters in front of the goal and scored with his right foot in the near corner. Bayern won 1:2.
However, scoring a goal, the situation is still very unfavorable to Bayern Munich. Even if they can score another goal, AC Milan can still qualify smoothly with many away goals.
After losing the ball, Ancelotti in the stands became nervous again and gestured to Tatsotti, who had been looking in his direction. Although he was in the ball prison and could not enter the coaching seat or bring communication tools, it did not prevent him from making small movements.
Tassoti got Ancelotti's instructions and immediately ordered the team to shrink its defense!
Mother!
When Digan saw Tasoti's signal, he almost blew up his lungs. In fact, the loss of the ball just now was just an accident. The advantage was still on AC Milan's side. At this time, he did not strengthen the offensive and took the opportunity to score another goal to lock in the victory. Digan really didn't know that it was in Ancelotti's mind. Which rice field is hidden at the bottom?
The same was true in the last game against Palermo. After taking the lead, Ancelotti made personnel adjustments at halftime. As a result, his substitution almost tilted the balance of victory.
Ancelotti actually replaced Westoff, who performed well with Vogel. If Inzaghi's goal had not shattered Palermo's hope of equalising, this substitution would have almost become a key turning point in the game.
After Sidov's game, Milan lost a person to help with the ball in the front court. Kaka was more difficult to support, and the pressure on the opponent was reduced, which was just convenient for Palermo to fight back.
Palermo coach simply changed to Gonzalez and continued to strengthen the attack on the sidelines. The left side guarded by Milan veteran Serginho became the main target of the opponent. Because the attack power of Gattuso, the front guard on the same side of the left road, Sergenio, in addition to defense, has to actively plug in as the attack point on the left side, which makes him very reluctant and difficult, and the offensive defense is not good.
If Fiori hadn't played well, it would not have been easy for Milan to keep the home victory in the last game.
Palermo's replacement is very targeted. In contrast, Ancelotti's replacement of Seedorf after taking the lead seems a little conservative.
Although the lineup is old, the use of people is the main problem in Milan at present. But Ancelotti's platoon cannot completely escape responsibility, and some areas are still debatable.
AC Milan's poor performance this season has made Ancelotti also face a huge crisis of trust. Major pressure has affected his employment decision to some extent, and it also seems to lack trust in some players, such as Simitch, Stam, and of course Degan, who has a personal grudge against him.
After the first half, AC Milan deliberately contracted the defense and gave Bayern Munich more offensive space. Although there were more defenders in front of the penalty area, Bayern Munich was never the kind of team that passed the ball into the penalty area step by step to solve the problem. What they are better at is strong long-range shooting.
For a while, Fiori became the busiest person on the court, constantly jumping left and right. If it goes on like this, maybe he can find the feeling of the world's first goalkeeper.
And it was only passive defense, which consumed the Milan players a lot of physical strength. Before the first half was over, Serginho was already sweating and breathless.
Degan wants to attack, but he is also difficult to support in the front court. Without his teammates to come up, he is really Maradona's possession, and he can't single out the opponent's entire defense every time.
Turning his head and saw that Ancelotti was still showing a dead face, Degan was not angry. Demichelis on the opponent's defense line was obviously a big loophole, but he didn't know how to grasp it. Instead, he had to shrink the defense, and the defense was fine. What's the difference between defending without attacking and waiting for death? Now AC Milan is like this, giving up all the midfield and frontcourts, and has cultivated their fighting ability in front of the penalty area.
In the 43rd minute, Bayern Munich's bombardment almost equalized the score. Deisler made a free kick on the left side and Ballack headed the goal. Fortunately, Fiori reacted very quickly and sealed the ball with one palm. I have to say that Fiori did play a world-class level in this game.
In the first half of stoppage time, Bayern Munich still had an excellent opportunity. Dessler made a corner kick on the right side, and Pizarro headed the ball 10 meters in front of the goal and deflected from the right post.
AC Milan kept a 2:1 advantage to the halftime, but Milan players know that such a simple defense consumes them a lot of physical strength. Bayern Munich can use a pass instead of running, and Milan players can only keep running.
Therefore, despite the lead, Digan's face was still very gloomy at the end of the game. This was not his favorite game, and he did not feel the happiness of football at all.
If he has a mobile phone at this time, the first thing he has to do is to call Mendes and tell him: "I've had enough. No matter which team it is, even the Maldives and the Faroe Islands, as long as it can make me play football happily, I will go there immediately! Fuck the liquidated damages, I'll pay it myself!"
Kaka, who followed Degan, saw that something was wrong with Degan and asked in a low voice, "Rod! How do you~~~~~~"
Digan looked back at Kaka and suppressed his anger: "Rikado! Don't you feel aggrieved when playing football under this shit head coach? Anyway, I can't stand it!"
