Midfielder

No one thought that the final would be so hot. Yes, this is the Champions League final, but for many years, such games have been played in a dull atmosphere of mistakes and tension. Not many teams dare to take risks at the beginning, but today is an exception.

AC Milan only took one minute to push this damn game to a climax, without any overdoing or hesitation. Maldini, who is 37 years old, 10 months and 29 days old, scored a goal. Do you still dare to say that this game will be played conservatively? Then let me show you their shouts.

It is estimated that people within a few kilometers of the Ataturk Stadium can hear the cheers that broke out here. The madness of 30,000 people seems so fierce on this night. Now the Italians do not show any feminine temperament. The madness of this shout is no less than that of the English.

From the beginning of the goal, they have been jumping and dancing in their seats, cheering for the goal desperately. The team did not live up to their expectations and gave Chelsea fans a fatal blow from the beginning. Look at their expressions that have been a little stunned by the goal.

It is estimated that these Italian fans are the most relieved now, especially when they see their opponents being defeated. This refreshing feeling after revenge rises from the bottom of their hearts. They hope that when the team finally holds the trophy, these English people can wear more frustrated faces.

Not only are the fans cheering for such a crazy game, but even the players are extremely excited. This game has mobilized all their fighting power from the beginning. AC Milan will definitely not miss such a good start, and Chelsea also does not want to let the opponent ride on their heads.

But after the game resumed, Chelsea's offense still encountered a little trouble. The Italians are too good at controlling the rhythm in this leading situation. After the first attack at the beginning, they began to actively withdraw to the vicinity of the midfield and use their cooperation to contain Chelsea.

And AC Milan's frontcourt also began to roam in a large range. Unlike the opening, they suddenly pushed forward. Now they are withdrawing and waiting for Chelsea to attack. Kaka and Shevchenko took the initiative to retreat to free up offensive space in the frontcourt so that they can attack at any time.

But unlike Kaka and Shevchenko, Crespo, who played as a center forward, did not retreat. He even stayed firmly near Chelsea's penalty area, waiting to threaten Cech's goal at any time. He was like a nail, firmly nailed there.

This was indicated by Ancelotti on the sidelines. He knew that Chelsea had to press forward when the score was behind, and given their offensive strength, if they simply withdrew to prepare for a counterattack, they would probably be directly pressed by the opponent in their own half and could not move.

Ancelotti did not want to take risks, especially when facing a guy like Mourinho who did not play by the rules. He did not want the conventional tactical arrangement to become an opportunity for the opponent to break through his defense. He gave the opponent a lightning strike at the beginning, but he did not want the opponent to deal with him in the same way.

Chelsea did it before. Ancelotti did not forget how they controlled the game when they played against Bayern Munich and Barcelona. If the initiative was given to Chelsea, AC Milan's defense would definitely be under considerable pressure.

With such a perfect start, Ancelotti didn't want to make mistakes easily. He needed the players to keep the pressure on Chelsea's goal after taking the lead, and Crespo was the bridgehead of this attack. He would be an important fulcrum for AC Milan's attack.

So Crespo had to go up. Although this strong Argentine center forward was not at his peak in terms of mobile combat ability, he was more practical than other AC Milan strikers when used as a pure opportunist and a traditional center forward.

You can't expect tough guys like Shevchenko and Terry to compete for air superiority, so such rough work should be left to Crespo. The most important thing is that this Argentine is more familiar with his former teammates, just like the shot he made against Terry just now.

Using a person who is most familiar with the opponent to deal with his former teammate is also the reason why Ancelotti asked Crespo to replace others as the starting player, and the Argentine was very competitive. The first shot after the opening caused Cech to make a rare mistake in the final save.

His body is strong enough. Even if there is a tough guy like Terry behind him, the Argentine can still find opportunities slickly. He is not only strong, but also very smart. He has a very keen sense of smell in front of the goal and can always seize opportunities to threaten the opponent.

Now Crespo is still a time bomb that Ancelotti has ambushed in Chelsea's defense. All the high balls in the front and midfield of AC Milan are looking for him, so he and Terry start to compete for the air ball near the penalty area, while Shevchenko, Kaka and Seedorf are ready to grab the second landing point at any time.

Kaka and Seedorf, these two guys have beautiful long shots, especially the Dutchman. Ancelotti let him play because this guy's long-range shooting skills will play a key role in breaking the opponent's dense release, but now it seems that he still has more room to play.

Just like less than a minute after the goal, Crespo created a long shot opportunity for Seedorf from a distance of about 25 meters during a header duel with Terry. The Dutchman had almost no chance. Adjustment, without waiting for the football to hit the ground, it was just a difficult volley.

If it weren't for the slight distance, Cech had enough reaction time, no one knows whether this kick would become AC Milan's second goal, but Cech's reaction was quick enough, and this shot also allowed him Breaking out in a cold sweat, he couldn't even grab the football with both hands and could only hit it.

Fortunately, Shevchenko was the only one in Chelsea's penalty area at that time. He was unable to grab the spot under Carvalho's close marking, but such a shot also reminded Mourinho that Chelsea was not the only one who would do it. In this way, the center serves as the fulcrum, and the rest of the team executes offensive tactics around him.

Ancelotti has told him with such a practical performance, don't think that AC Milan's positional battle is only about interspersed running. We will also use the offensive method that your Premier League club is best at, and our technical content is higher. Every time we form The attack will make you scared.

Mourinho was not that frightened, but the rhythm of the game gave him a very bad feeling. The opponent did not use rhythm to control the game, but used a very simple way to knock on his own goal. Then they began to play those tricks that Italians are best at.

Some Italian media once said this before the game that in all the games this season, as long as AC Milan leads one to zero, they have only had one draw. Therefore, as long as AC Milan scores first in this game, then Chelsea will win. The team can then prepare to die.

Only failure awaits them. This is not what they said before the game. Now the Italian commentator is also commenting on Chelsea's ending in the same tone. The Italians are shouting for Maldini, the legendary captain, and they are also Satirizing the opponent's vulnerability.

"The English resistance only lasted for one minute. Is the steel defense they boasted about before the game so bad? It seems that the level of the Premier League champions is just like this. It does not have the momentum that Manchester United had in the Champions League. This is simple and rough. How can our technology win the final victory?”

I don’t know what Chelsea fans will think when they hear such comments. Anyway, the commentators responsible for the broadcast in England are really unhappy now, including Lineker and Schiller, who are responsible for commentating the game in England, are a little sullen. They hope Chelsea can Fight back as quickly as possible.

"Mourinho's team should show their usual toughness and let these Italians see how powerful the Premier League clubs are. This game is not decided by them. It has just started one minute. Isn’t it too much to think about taking away the trophy now?”

Although they say so, people like Lineker and Schiller, who have dealt with Italian clubs more than once, know very well how strong AC Milan is. Just look at the offensive cooperation after the opening. Not only is he rich in experience, but he also has strong personal abilities.

If this game continues like this, no one can guarantee that Chelsea will win the final trophy. At least from now on, they have not found a good way to break through the opponent, and the opponent's counterattacks are indeed getting sharper now, every time With a strong threat.

The Italians seem to be waiting for AC Milan to use such familiar counterattack tactics to grind down Chelsea's will bit by bit. As long as there is one more goal, they can prepare for the final crowning ceremony, because so far this season No one has ever scored three goals in a row in front of AC Milan.

This is not the paranoia of AC Milan fans and those Italians. The game is indeed what they thought. They are indeed too familiar with the rhythm of dealing with opponents in this counterattack atmosphere, while Chelsea's offense did not at this time. Playing with their usual sharpness.

Although AC Milan's midfielder is more offensive in terms of personnel arrangement, they can also pull back defensively, especially Kaká and Seedorf can also withdraw to help defend, which makes the midfielder's competition more difficult. The battle became more intense and squeezed Chelsea's offensive space.

Now someone needs to stand up and break this deadlock for Chelsea, especially in terms of control of the midfield. We cannot continue to fight with the opponent like this. If this continues, it will only make the team more and more impatient. , in the end everything was firmly controlled by the opponent.

Although Mourinho has not made any moves on the sidelines, he is also expecting someone to come out of the midfield at this moment, at least to break AC Milan's counterattack calmly, cut off this danger, and then go Threaten the opponent's goal.

But after ten minutes of the game, no savior was born on Chelsea's side. . . Everything seemed silent. . .
