Golden Greenery

In the first half, the two teams played 0:0, each attacking vigorously but achieving nothing.

Totti was in very good condition today. As soon as the whistle blew, he couldn't wait to launch repeated attacks. At the beginning, AC Milan's defense was really in a hurry. If Dida hadn't performed bravely, Totti might have scored twice.

Then Totti's old rival, Nesta, who was once one of the evildoers in the city of Rome, put forward a defense line and confronted Totti personally. Only then did the King of Rome gradually calm down. Although Nesta has been away from the team for a long time, with his familiarity with Totti and his own world-class defensive skills, it is still difficult for Totti, who is in great condition, to rush into the penalty area.

Others such as Mancini, Taddei, Favalli, Simic and Cafu are naturally not vegetarians.

The same goes for the reverse. Zhuoyang and Kaká plus Ronaldo and Oliveira took turns attacking the Roma defense. Although they also rushed the opponent to pieces, it was difficult to penetrate the entire defense at once, let alone today. Dhoni is also in good form.

Generally speaking, Milan has a slight advantage in ball possession, while Roma has a slight advantage in offense.

At halftime, Ancelotti replaced Oliveira with Peach Gilardino, who was almost invisible in the first half, drifting and habitually running around the football line. After Guitaozi came on the field, AC Milan's tactics were also slightly adjusted. The two forwards no longer stood in parallel, but became front and rear. Guitaozi played a fulcrum role at the forefront, and Ronaldo was equivalent to the second forward behind him.

The two front midfielders Zhuo Yang and Kaka are also laterally misaligned. Zhuo Yang is slightly forward and Kaka is slightly backward. In this way, AC Milan's entire formation collectively recovered five meters. It is natural for them to be more secure after the away attack is unfavorable.

In the first half, Zhuoyang focused on supporting the attack in accordance with the formation requirements. Neither he nor Kaka returned to defense very much. However, it was their suppression of Roma's defense that prevented the full-backs Panucci, Cassetti and De Rossi from making assists too high, which in another way reduced AC Milan's defensive burden.

In the second half, not only will Kaka's position be further back, but Zhuoyang will also be more involved in the defense at the front of the penalty area according to Ancelotti's instructions, and provide more deep breakthroughs when attacking.

The idea is good, and the tactical response is also very appropriate, but football does not produce results according to the script. The unpredictable randomness factor is too great, and this is one of the charms of football.

Just 3 minutes into the second half, Roma took the lead.

Taddei made a pass from the wing, and Nesta beat Totti to push the football out of the penalty area. Williamson intercepted the ball and shot from a long distance, but Zhuo Yang shot two meters in front of him and directly blocked it and flew out of the baseline.

Totti took a corner kick from the right, and Roma center back Chivu was suddenly unmarked.

He volleyed freely from the corner of the penalty area. As early as the Ajax period, Chivu had already developed a very good free kick and a very good long-range shooting ability. The ball hit the near end of the goal and went into the top corner, Roma 1:0.

Chivu ran wildly on the court wearing a protective mask. You can imagine the excitement on his handsome face without taking off the mask. Chivu was in the Champions League round of 16 knockout match against Lyon of France when he was hit in the bridge of the nose by the opponent's forward Fred with an iron elbow while defending a free kick. The blood was very scary at the time.

It’s hard to say who should be blamed for losing the ball. From the area of ​​responsibility, it should be Pirlo or Brocchi’s fault, but Chivu suddenly inserted here in front of the center circle. From this point of view, the corner kick defensive tactics are responsible for cleaning up the perimeter. The mysterious appearance of striker Gilardino is also inseparable.

There is no point in blaming each other, and AC Milan has no habit of blaming teammates on the field. Two minutes later, the old and young men worked hard and almost equalized the score.

Ronaldo broke through from the right, and Williamson, who was younger than him, was easily dodged by Ronaldo, but Panucci, who was older than him, shoveled Ronaldo to the ground without mercy. Ronaldo rolled on the ground and the stands at Rome's Stadio Olimpico erupted in gloating cheers.

AC Milan also used tactical coordination for this free kick. After Pirlo took the kick, the scorers who were closely watched by the opponents, such as Zhuo Carloto and others, pushed and jostled the Roma defense until Simic suddenly advanced from the outside. Doni was stunned when he scored with a header from the penalty spot.

It's a pity that Simic pursued the angle too much and the football missed the goal post.

When the time came to the second half, the away team's eagerness to equalize the score made AC Milan burst out with strong courage, and the wave-like offensive continued to beat the Roma team's defense. Roma, Inter Milan and Fiorentina are the three teams that have conceded the fewest goals in Serie A this season.

Ligue 1 Lyon scored in every six games of the Champions League group stage, winning four games in a row to beat Real Madrid to qualify first before casually drawing two of the Champions League last 16 games. Lyon was the third favorite to win the title. But for such a powerful team, Roma's defensive skills were clearly evident when they were kept clean by Roma for 180 minutes in two rounds.

However, in the first three meetings between Roma and AC Milan this season, they scored 11 goals and conceded 10. Roma does not seem to be impregnable, and Milan does not seem to have a sluggish forward line.

In the 57th minute, Zhuoyang stole Totti's pass from the backcourt to De Rossi, and rushed to the frontcourt on hot wheels. Roma was caught off guard by this privately customized counterattack. Zhuoyang broke in from the ribs smoothly, encountered Panucci's entanglement, and then hooked the ball back to the top of the arc.

Kaka rushed in, but his low shot in pursuit of effect was destroyed by Ferrari's sliding tackle, and the football fell at the feet of Guitaozi. Maybe Ji Taozi didn't expect that he would get such an opportunity. He even failed to adjust the ball properly for three consecutive shots. Chivu, Roma's only defender in position at this time, rushed over and destroyed the sideline with his big kick.

Zhuoyang, Kaka, and Ronaldo formed a semicircle around Jitaozi, spreading their hands and looking helplessly. The vitality tanks of the three people's shots were full, but Taozi refused to pass, and the three of them only wasted one big blast. What else can I do with the blood string?

Kaka was not used to making irresponsible remarks, Zhuo Yang was too lazy to pay attention to him, but Ronaldo couldn't hold it in. "I said, you just passed it to me. If it doesn't come in, I'll buy you a limited-edition brand-name bag."

Kaka was seduced by Big Brother and used as seasoning material. "Pass it to me and I'll buy you a car if you don't get in."

"I'll buy you a suite!" Zhuo Yang was still the most generous.

Christian Chivu, the vice-captain of the Roma team, heard their conversation from a close distance. Even with his mask on, he could see his eyes moving around curiously, looking at this and that. Zhuo Yang said angrily: "I'll buy you a new mask."

Chivu's legs went weak and he almost fell over. Ji Taozi lowered his head and pinched his nose and walked back. He didn't know whether he was ashamed or because he thought these three people had bad mouths.
