Midfielder

"In a football match, it is impossible for top-notch skills and excellent tactics to last for 90 minutes. The only thing that can be guaranteed is faith and courage." I wonder if Cruyff was in a very crazy state when he said this.

But now Gattuso knows very clearly that Lin Yi must be very crazy. After scoring a goal, this kid seems to no longer be afraid of his fierce interception. His beautiful pendulum-like passing action just now almost made Gattuso feel a little at a loss.

Maybe only when the alien played for Inter Milan did AC Milan's midfield and backcourt feel such great pressure, especially Lin Yi completed a very standard copy of Ronaldo's passing action, which made many AC Milan fans feel scared.

How the alien was rampant at the time, it is estimated that many people still remember it. Now this black-haired kid, like the bald head, also poses a great threat to AC Milan. After he used a gorgeous action to shake off the fierce Gattuso, he has begun to accelerate.

Gattuso missed the best opportunity to foul. He could have knocked the guy down at the cost of a yellow card. But at the moment when he was stunned, Lin Yi had already rushed out with the ball. When he wanted to foul, it was too late. Gattuso could only chase Lin Yi's back.

Lin Yi has never been a player like Robben who ran 20 or 30 meters. His running speed can only be ranked behind in the Chelsea team, but in the first 15 meters or so sprint, even a guy like Robben who relies on speed has to admit defeat in the competition.

This kid can often take advantage of the one-on-one passing. This advantage in sprinting is also a very big help. Originally, you have to lower your center of gravity to defend this kid with very flexible feet, so your speed will definitely drop, but Lin Yi can burst out with amazing speed in one step, and combined with his flexible movements, many people are left behind by Lin Yi as a background man because of this disadvantage when defending.

Gattuso even saw what instant acceleration means this time. When the kid was pushing the grass hard, he suddenly rushed out, not giving Gattuso any chance to react. This made Gattuso, who has always been known as a tough guy, a little depressed. He was completely at a disadvantage in this competition.

As long as the kid rushed, it would be difficult to slow him down except for fouling. Moreover, Gattuso was directly passed by Lin Yi, and he had no chance to make up for it. He turned around to chase, just hoping that the defenders could stop Lin Yi and give him a chance to surround him.

Don't expect Pirlo to help at this time. In AC Milan's midfield system, Pirlo has never been the kind of interceptor, and this guy has just participated in the attack. Now he is at least ten meters away from Lin Yi, and there is no time to catch up with the kid's breakthrough.

Lin Yi seized such a counterattack opportunity, so Cech sent a goal kick so quickly. They wanted to seize the gap when AC Milan pressed forward to attack, especially the central defense. At this time, when they were at their weakest, Lin Yi wanted to create a time difference for AC Milan.

An absolute gap. Ancelotti really didn't know whether the kid had calculated in advance every time he went to the dangerous area, because he really couldn't understand the kid's ability to grasp the opportunity. This was originally a very ordinary goal kick, but he just found this offensive opportunity.

And once this opportunity is formed, he will really pose a fatal threat to you. Just now he got rid of Gattuso, and now he is directly facing the back line of AC Milan. Moreover, Drogba and Lampard have already started to attack the penalty area from two directions, and Robben also inserted on the other side.

In such a moment, Chelsea's offensive spearhead has been formed quickly. It is estimated that even Sacchi has to shut up now. Can you say that such a team has no good tactical quality? What is this? In such a short time, they have begun a sharp counterattack.

At this time, Nesta had no choice but to give up his own defensive area and head out. He knew very well what the kid who had already killed him could do. In order to slow down Lin Yi or keep him away from the dangerous area, Nesta could only leave the defense in the middle to Stam alone.

"Keep an eye on him!" At this moment, I don't know how many Italian fans were shouting this sentence in their hearts. They believed in Nesta's strength. The guy who once made Ronaldo helpless would definitely be able to stop Lin Yi in front of the penalty area and stop Chelsea's offensive attempt.

But just when Nesta was ready to intercept Lin Yi, the kid suddenly passed the ball while running before the two people collided. But this pass was beyond everyone's expectations. He did not pass it to Robben who was already on the wing at high speed, nor did he pass it directly to Drogba and Lampard, but suddenly passed it to Duff who had been silent on the wing for half a day with a low pass. This time even Mourinho was a little stunned on the sidelines.

Everyone could see that Duff was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Maldini, especially in terms of dribbling past the opponent. The speed and impact that the Irishman had always relied on had no room to play under Maldini's defense. Many people believed that Duff might be replaced by Mourinho in the midfield.

But when no one expected it, Lin Yi passed the ball directly to Duff, and at the moment when he completed the pass, Ancelotti realized that they had all ignored the Irishman who had disappeared for half a day, including Maldini who retreated into the penalty area.

No one thought that Lin Yi would pass the ball like this, and even Maldini thought that the danger would appear in the middle. Even if Lin Yi passed the ball to Robben first, the final cross must be passed to Drogba or Lampard after cutting inside to solve the problem, so he chose to defend the middle.

This may be an understandable choice. After all, no one dared to guarantee that Nesta would be able to keep a close eye on Lin Yi. If he was passed, Stam would not only have to deal with the double ghosts of Drogba and Lampard, but also face the danger of Lin Yi cutting in directly. Maldini was just preparing for a rainy day.

But his defensive awareness and rich experience pitted Maldini this time. As soon as he moved into the penalty area, Lin Yi's pass accurately found Duff who was no longer guarded, and the first reaction of the Irishman after getting the ball was to start quickly and fiercely forward.

Maldini's reaction is always fast, but at this time, he can only choose to block Duff's cut-in route. After all, his start is a beat slower than the opponent. If he wants to intercept Duff's cut-in, he has to work hard. It is still unclear whether he can deal with this Irishman.

However, one thing that is certain is that Duff's resolute forward insertion has indeed disrupted AC Milan's defensive level. Maldini, who was originally preparing to assist in the defense of the middle, was transferred back, and Nesta, who had just headed out, had to retreat to the middle. After all, there are two bombs next to Stam. Although Robben did not get the pass, his speed of cutting into the penalty area did not slow down, which made Cafu follow him like a shadow.

A very simple pass, an action that completely disrupted AC Milan's defense. Don't worry about whether Lin Yi's pass choice this time is right. Anyway, Mourinho on the sidelines has no objection. Being able to create chaos in the opponent's defense is creating opportunities for yourself.

When Duff accelerated forward, he did not let Maldini intercept him again. Although the experienced guy had blocked his inward route, Duff did not think too much when he accelerated. He just gritted his teeth and did not want to be blocked by his opponent again.

After several consecutive setbacks, any man with a temper would be a little angry, let alone these pure men who play football. Duff did not consider that his opponent was Maldini. Even if the person standing in front of him was God, he would pass him without hesitation.

Lin Yi's ability to pass the ball to him was the greatest trust. Duff did not want to live up to this trust. When he was six or seven meters away from the baseline, Duff, who was already very fast, suddenly stepped on the grass and accelerated violently. This time, the acceleration created space for him to pass the ball.

Maldini was already in his thirties after all. He was experienced, but sometimes he was a little slower than these strong guys. It was only less than half a meter away, but Maldini's outstretched foot could not block Duff's pass.

Everyone might think that Duff would choose to hit the cross ball directly in the middle, but at the moment when the Irishman kicked, they found that they had misjudged again. The guy didn't rub the ball at all, but passed a very fast low ball.

Not only was the speed very fast, but the passing route he chose was also very strange. This was a completely inverted triangle with a very large angle. His target was not Drogba and Lampard in the middle at all. At the moment when this guy completed the pass, everyone saw who was his pass receiver.

"That black-haired kid!", I guess the Italian commentator doesn't know how to call Lin Yi now, a devil? Maybe, that guy is really like a devil that makes people feel scared and omnipresent. This time he has become the nightmare of Italians again.

It is estimated that except for Gattuso who was chasing all the way behind him, how many people noticed Lin Yi's actions after passing the ball. He didn't stop at all, but made a feint in the penalty area and directly pulled to the vicinity of the penalty area, and Duff's pass was looking for him.

Gattuso himself thought that this pursuit was a tragedy. He had a chance to stop Lin Yi, but Drogba and Stam's competition blocked his pursuit of Lin Yi. When Lin Yi received the pass, Gattuso could not reach the boy's feet even with a sliding tackle.

No one was guarding him, more than ten meters away from the fans, in a position almost facing the goal. Lin Yi did not hesitate at all. The second Duff's pass reached his feet, he had already used the arch of his right foot to make a gorgeous arc, and spun directly towards the upper right corner of AC Milan's goal.
