Chapter 98 Dispute

"In the second half, we continued to defend. Degan was in the front, holding Bayern Munich's defense line. Ivan and Rui, you two should pay attention to the protection of the back line. Serginho and Simic, easily don't cross the middle line~~~~~~~

Although Ancelotti is in prison, the time of imprisonment does not include a half-time break. As soon as the first half is over, Ancelotti returned to the locker room, seize this time and arrange the tactics of the second half.

However, it is still a conservative way of play. It can be seen that Ancelotti intends to keep the lead of this goal, but after listening to what he said, AC Milan actually wanted to shrink in its own half and be beaten in the second half.

Both full-backs are not allowed to beat the half-time. Should the team completely give up the attack?

Digan has never heard of it. He can win just by being beaten. Is it possible to use the rebound of football to kill Bayern Munich?

"Wait!"

Digan was already full of anger in the first half. Now he couldn't help seeing that Ancelotti still had to defend and guard the second half for 45 minutes.

Ancelotti was talking in a mess. Suddenly, she was interrupted by Degan. It felt like a mother giving birth to a baby. Obviously, even her little fart was exposed, but she was told by the delivery doctor that there was only a piece of human-shaped stool.

His face was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at Degan: "What do you think!?"

Ancelotti and Digan usually communicate very little, let alone discuss tactics in the locker room. After that conversation with Galliani, although he chose to compromise, he still didn't have a good face for Degan. In his opinion, Degan had better be quiet. Don't say a word. Don't make trouble and play an invisible person obediently. He can deceive himself that Degan doesn't exist.

Digan ignored Ancelotti's face: "You mean we can only defend, we can't beat the half, and let those Germans attack our goal, ha! I haven't heard that simple defense can win! And I don't think those Germans are so powerful that we don't even have the courage to attack!"

Ancelotti was choked by Digan and blushed. He suppressed his anger and said, "What we want now is victory. Do you think our current lineup can still fight against Bayern Munich?"

Why not? Since you don't believe in your players, why did you send us to play?

Digan said while still looking at the faces of his teammates. Seeing that no one spoke, it was obvious that they were also a little dissatisfied with Ancelotti's conservative tactical style. No one wanted to think they were incompetent and build a wall in front of the goal, and even dared not step over the middle line.

Especially Inzaghi, a maniac who has not recovered from injury and is extremely eager to score goals!

"Bayern's defense is not as strong as we think. Lucio likes to insert assists. Once Bayern loses the ball in the front court, there will be a lot of blanks behind Lucio, and Demichelis. His state today is like an amateur player. It's not at all to worry about. This is all Bayern's defense. The hidden danger is also our opportunity. Why can't we grasp it well? Simple defense will only make us more passive. We must keep running and make up for the position! Mr. Coach! Do you think we can replace 11 people today?

AC Milan's whole team, except for Kaka, Digan, Gattuso and Simic's few physical adults, even Fiori, a goalkeeper who doesn't need to run anything, is tired and breathless.

Physical fatigue is secondary, and what is really tired is mental!

No one likes to defend blindly, but defense requires them to maintain absolute mental tension all the time. They need to keep running, filling positions, and kicking down like this. No one can stand the consumption of mental strength and physical strength in a game.

Ancelotti has at least proved his reputation on the big scene. Of course, he also saw that there was a problem with the team's physical fitness, but even so, AC Milan's lineup is incomplete and it is not Bayern Munich's opponent at all. This idea has formed a solid foundation in Ancelotti's mind. Set the mode.

But he was so flustered that he didn't know how to refute it. He just said, "I'm the head coach of the team!" How to play the game, you just need to listen to me!"

Degan laughed sarcastically: "Listen to your bullshit!" I'm really sorry. I don't have the habit of looking for death. Of course, you can order others, and I don't have to! Of course, you can also replace me!"

Replace Degan!

Of course, Ancelotti wants to. If he can, he even want to send Degan directly to the AC Milan U10 junior team to be the king of children.

But can he do it now?

This match with Bayern is a sharp sword hanging on his head. Win! If you can cut off the rope on his body, you will lose! Cut off his head directly.

If it is in other teams, of course, he can directly challenge his authoritative Degan to enter the cold palace without thinking about anything, but in AC Milan, he can't do this. He really loves Milan, and he wants to achieve greater success here.

At the end of the half-time break, Magart took the lead in making personnel adjustments, but his substitution was a little incomprehensible. The young player Guerrero replaced Makai, and Bayern's frontcourt became a Peruvian combination.

Speaking of which, Makai's performance in the first half was quite good. Although he missed two good scoring opportunities, his ability to contain in the front court was by no means comparable to Guerrero.

Perhaps seeing that AC Milan has made up his mind to defend, he hopes to use Guerrero's speed and technology to break AC Milan's intensive defense.

Margat's assumption is destined to be impossible to achieve!

Less than two minutes from the second half, Bayern launched an attack on the sidelines. Dissler passed Guerrero, but Guerrero ran over and was kicked back by Nesta. Serginho grabbed the ball and was about to drive to the front court.

"Here! Pass the ball!"

Digan shouted, and the man had pulled to the left side. Serginho hesitated for a moment and passed the ball over.

Digan has had enough of Ancelotti's stubbornness. Since Ancelotti wants to be conservative to the end, he doesn't want to accompany him. So what if he doesn't have the support of the midfield? I'll do it alone!

He grabbed the ball, and Digan turned around and rushed forward along the left road. Inzaghi, who was still in the midfield, saw the situation. Out of the instinct of the shooter, he felt that this was an opportunity and didn't care about anything else. He overturned him from the middle. Saniol came forward to defend, but was directly eaten by Digan using his speed, and then he kicked the arc ball. When he passed to the goal, Lucio was relieved but was subconsciously kicked out by Demichelis and kicked the ball into the middle position. Naturally, Inzaghi, who was in place, could not miss such a good opportunity. He blocked the ball into the goal with his right foot, AC Milan led 3:1!

After scoring the goal, Inzaghi rushed towards Degan. He scored twice in the game, and he was also very excited. Degan rarely released a hand, opened his arms and hugged the excited Inzaghi.

Other teammates also surrounded him one after another. Degan was surrounded and did not forget to wave his fist at Ancelotti in the stands. Ancelotti's face was gloomy. He asked the whole team to defend, but a quick counterattack launched by Degan broke through Bayern's goal and watched Degan wave his fist hard. It's just hitting him in the face.

Magat didn't expect such a thing to happen. Originally, he wanted to launch a wild attack in the second half and took AC Milan in one fell swoop, but now the team is two goals behind.

If Bayern Munich wants to qualify, it must score three goals, but is it that easy?

The Bayern players on the field also felt the crisis. After the game restarted, they immediately pressed the whole line. In the 49th minute, Daisler shot high with his right foot.

In the 51st minute, Schweinsteg won a free kick, Deisler opened on the left side, and Pizarro headed the ball 10 meters in front of the goal and was captured by Fiori.

Bayern has no other choice at this moment and must strengthen their attack. Magart replaced Lizarazu with Sauer, hoping to help the team with Sauer's ability, but the defense is still the biggest hidden danger.

In the 54th minute, Demy Kelis made a mistake and almost sent another goal. Degan received a pass from Rui Costa and made a left foot shot 10 meters in front of the goal.

In the 56th minute, Schweinsteg passed the ball and Pizarro cut into the penalty area from the left and missed the goal.

In the 59th minute, AC Milan scored another goal, Degan made a direct pass from the right side, and Bayern's defense was useless. Kaka ** cut into the penalty area and scored from the far corner with his right foot 9 meters in front of the goal, 4:1!

For this reason, there is no possibility for Bayern to qualify. For the rest of the time, Bayern is only fighting for honor.

In the 63rd minute, Nesta put down Guerrero and was warned by a yellow card. Then, Sauer made a free kick on the left side, and Lucio headed the ball 10 meters in front of the goal.

In the 69th minute, Sauer's left corner kick caused confusion. Pizarro turned around 6 meters from the left side and volleyed at a small angle of his left foot and was blocked by Fiori.

After that, Bayern started the ball from the side, and Barak headed the ball, Ze. Roberto missed the goal with his left foot 11 meters in front of the goal.

In the 71st minute, Saniol made a cross from the right side, and Barak headed the ball to the ground 6 meters in front of the goal. Just as he was ready to make up for the header, Fiori hit the ball out of the penalty area.

In the 75th minute, Sauer made a corner kick, and Lucio volleyed above the crossbar with his left foot 12 meters in front of the goal.

In the 79th minute, Rui Costa crossed the defensive road and broke into the penalty area. Degan was 15 meters in front of the goal, and his right foot push shot was blocked from the bottom line by Kahn.

In the end, AC Milan kept a 4:1 score to the end and unexpectedly won a big victory, while Bayern Munich, who vowed to celebrate the promotion to the quarterfinals of the Champions League in San Siro before the game, could only swallow the bitter fruit of the defeat.

Although AC Milan won, Milan's strange formation attracted special attention throughout the second half. In the second half, AC Milan shrank in its own half most of the time and covered its head to withstand the fire from Bayern Munich. The only attacking player was Degan.

Digan hardly had a fixed position in the second half, one time to meet in the middle, one time to pull to the side pass, and sometimes to the front.

AC Milan's two goals in the second half came from his two cross passes, one on the left and one on the right, giving people the feeling that Degan was like a free man in the frontcourt.

Before the 1970 World Cup semi-finals, the so-called freeman, the German defender Beckenbauer, with both offensive and defensive skills and strong organizational ability, suggested to the coach, hoping to give himself greater freedom of movement, be able to attack or defend flexibly according to the situation on the field, and organize the attack and defense of the whole team.

His suggestion was adopted by the head coach of the West Germany at that time. Beckenbauer had an outstanding performance in that game and personally rushed into the penalty area to score a goal. At this moment, a new term in football history - "free man" was born.

The traditional scavenger is only the team's last line of defense, but free men often become the initiators of the attack. Freeman must have a wise mind, be able to read the game as soon as possible, command the whole team, and be ready to take action to defend when the defense line is broken.

There is no fixed guard object in defense, which can flexibly make up for the rescue, so that other players, especially the three defenders, have no worries when staring at people.

The free man also plays the role of organizing the offensive. He can gain insight into the whole field and wait for the opportunity to insert into the front line of attack. According to his needs, he is a player in any position in the whole team except the goalkeeper and is the core of the court.

The range of free people's activities covers the whole field and is the core of the court. Therefore, players are required to be physical, offensive and defensive, have a good sense and overall view, have strong organizational ability and rich game experience.

Because it has such high requirements for the comprehensive quality of players, there are very few people who are qualified for this position. Since Beckenbauer, there has been no other free man in the world. Although the great Baresi has been born, his role is more like a traditional scavenger. It was not until the 1990s that Summer, a genius, won the European Golden Globe Award as a free man, and a free man comparable to Beckenbauer appeared.

It should be said that the birth process of a free man is special. It is not entirely a product of the gradual progress of football tactics, but to a large extent, it is due to the emergence of outstanding stars with outstanding abilities and versatility, which triggers the leap of traditional characters. It embodies the football idea of "one expertise and versatility" and "people to the best of their talents".

But after all, there are few stars like Beckenbauer, so there are no free men who can cover the whole field on today's football field, but in all parts of the stadium, there are active "freemen", such as front-court free men, sideline free men and midfield free men.

Degan's position on the field today is like a free man in the frontcourt, and he is also a very different free man. When the team attacks, it requires him not only to organize, but also needs him to drive it. Generally speaking, Degan is like a person who is free from Milan's overall tactics.

When Ancelotti was interviewed after the game, when asked about Degan's question, his face suddenly changed: "That's my agreement with him. I will no longer restrain him, and he is not in my tactical system. He can do whatever he wants to do, as long as he can score goals and bring victory to the team!"

Ancelotti said something angry. Obviously, something happened between the two at halftime, but the whole Milan team was silenced, and the authority of the head coach was questioned by the players and even a dispute broke out. This kind of thing is not good. Listen.

Degan also knows that his conflict with Ancelotti is now irreconcilable. At the end of the season, one person will definitely leave, but at present, it is impossible for Ancelotti to leave AC Milan. Degan does not want to have a relationship with him. He did not mention the changes in AC Milan in the second half. The contradiction between the room and Ancelotti.

"No matter what happened to us. I just think we are in good shape today. At halftime, we asked for more autonomy in the second half. He respected my opinion, so we had two counterattacks and scoring opportunities in the second half. It's that simple!"

Is it that simple?

Of course, reporters will not naively believe it. They know that something very important must have happened in AC Milan's locker room during the break.

It's just that if the parties don't say it, they can't do anything about it!

AC Milan defeated Bayern Munich 4:1 at home, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 7:4, and successfully advanced to the next round. In the next round, AC Milan will face French champion Lyon.

At the same time, the other two teams in Serie A, Juventus and Inter Milan, have also defeated their opponents and advanced to the next round, against Arsenal and Villarreal respectively. It seems that the old story of the 2003 Champions League will be repeated.

In the 2003 UEFA Champions League, three Serie A teams broke into the semi-finals. This time, there is reason to believe that this scene will be repeated this year. Whether it is Lyon, Arsenal or Villarreal, they are obviously not opponents of the top three in Serie A.

The match with Lyon is still two years apart. Milan's executive chairman Galliani vowed: "Our goal this year is to win the European championship. The gap between Juventus and us in the league is too big. It is not easy to catch up, but we are very confident in the Champions League. The team is now Although there are some problems, I believe in Ancelotti and Milan's players, and they will never disappoint!"

The UEFA Champions League advanced to the quarterfinals, and there is another good news. Dida's injury has recovered well and is expected to come back early. However, Fiori's performance in this game is extremely eye-catching, especially at the beginning of the game, he saved Ballack and Pizarro's shots in a row, which made him famous in the first game, even if it was Dida Returning, it seems that it is not easy to take back the main position from Fiori's hands.
