Midfielder

After losing the ball and watching the opponent's wanton celebration on the sidelines, even the veterans of AC Milan, who have been through many battles, are a little frustrated at the moment. After all, this is a perfect start without any flaws, but they have ruined it like this. They probably didn't even expect it.

They even forgot the last time when the opponent scored two goals in a row after they scored first. In all the games this season, they have not had such a bad experience. Even in the last game against PSV Eindhoven, they were stunned by the opponent's consecutive goals.

But AC Milan has never been so frustrated. After all, they reversed the opponent at the last moment, not the opponent, and that was a moment of carelessness, but now it is not negligence or carelessness. They are all focused and they have been preparing for a long time, but this situation is really depressing.

Originally, this should have been their game, especially after Maldini scored the first goal for the first time, this should have been the rhythm of torturing the opponent's nerves, but now, they can only watch the score on the big screen being rewritten by the opponent again and again, and they have become the pursuer.

In the three or four minutes before the end of the first half, Italian fans did not see the counterattack they wanted most. Unlike the lightning-fast attack at the beginning, before the end, AC Milan's attempt to launch an offensive wave was also dragged down by Chelsea's beasts in the melee in the midfield.

After losing the ball, although Ancelotti loudly asked the players to press forward and try to break the opponent's goal and equalize the score in the shortest time, even this fat man himself knew that this was a bit difficult, but the score lag left him with not many choices, and he could only attack with his head held high.

If AC Milan played the kind of defensive counterattack that they were best at for most of the first half, then now it's a turn of events. They originally controlled the rhythm, but after Lin Yi scored the second goal, they were instead pinched by the opponent.

For the current AC Milan, the offensive battle may not be a problem, but Chelsea's current defensive strength is indeed very strong. It can't be said that it is difficult, but AC Milan is indeed a bit helpless.

Sooner or later, you will have to pay for what you have done. Ancelotti must not have seen "Infernal Affairs", so he must not know this sentence, but the situation on the field is like this now. Since AC Milan has been grinding Chelsea with defensive counterattacks for almost half an hour, Chelsea is going to continue playing this way.

Mourinho doesn't want his hard-earned lead to be broken by the opponent again, so he asked everyone to cheer up and kill the opponent's offensive attempt in these three or four minutes, even if it is a foul. As long as it is defended, it can pay a certain price.

The opponent's courage to charge is still very difficult to deal with, and his players sometimes have a habitual psychological relaxation after the attack is successful. Mourinho doesn't want the team to make mistakes at this time, otherwise, it will definitely be a blow to his players' psychology.

Maintaining your leading posture before the end of the halftime will not only create a lot of pressure on the opponent, but also make the opponent impatient. Although Ancelotti's expression on his face is still calm at this moment, Mourinho knows that the opponent is also planning a counterattack.

As for how the Italian fat man will change the team's formation and playing style, it is best to let him go back to the locker room to consider it. Mourinho must at least ensure that the team leaves the field with a lead in the score. This lead will make the players more confident and also make the opponent anxious.

This kind of peak confrontation at the highest level requires this kind of psychological confrontation. Sometimes it is this invisible confrontation that may determine the final outcome of the game. Mourinho is familiar with this kind of stadium, so he does not want to lose to Ancelotti in this competition.

If both sides have pressure, it is best to transfer this pressure to the opponent. Mourinho is not a saint. He is not in the mood to take care of whether Fatty Ancelotti has a heavy psychological burden now. If he does, then it is best. The opponent's collapse is his opportunity.

"Let everyone participate in defense. I don't want to see the score equalized before the end of the first half!" This is the order Mourinho issued to his players. This group of beasts did not intend to let the opponent take any advantage, and now they will not leave any chances for the opponent.

However, AC Milan's attack was still quite sharp, especially Kaka's breakthrough in the middle, which made Makelele look a bit embarrassed. Although Makelele didn't let the Brazilian kid slip by him this time, this attack still made him feel a kind of pressure.

Kaka was probably stimulated by Lin Yi's two goals, so when he broke through this time, he didn't choose to observe the receiving position of his teammates as usual, but suddenly rushed towards Makelele with the ball at high speed, without any intention of slowing down.

But Makelele was still experienced. He was stuck on Kaka's route almost at the moment he started, but the Brazilian kid had good speed and physical confrontation ability. Makelele failed to break the ball at his feet in the first time and could only follow him like this.

However, this entanglement also reduced Kaka's sprint speed this time. Ferreira, who came from the other side, had blocked Kaka's possibility of continuing to cut in from the side. The two people's tough defense temporarily curbed Kaka's possibility of continuing to move forward.

Although Kaka could not break through the entanglement of Makelele and Ferreira, he could still pass the ball. Especially at this critical moment, Kaka did not rush into this chain defense without hesitation. He suddenly accelerated and opened up a space enough to pass the ball.

This pass from Kaka's side was very fast and very accurate, which also created a chance for Shevchenko to shoot outside the penalty area. Just like the first goal, Kaka suddenly changed his line while dribbling the ball and successfully attracted the attention of Chelsea's defensive players.

"Beautiful pass! Kaka started his counterattack with this action! Shevchenko stopped the ball!" The roar of the Italian commentator finally broke out again after being suppressed for nearly 20 minutes. It can be seen that Kaka's outburst finally allowed this guy to find a way to vent.

Shevchenko received Kaka's accurate pass at the top of the penalty area, but this time he was not only in front of Cech's hands, but also Carvalho's foot that flew over and crossed his shooting route. The Ukrainian's fierce volley was kicked back to the midfield by Carvalho's sweeping kick.

"Don't think you can find opportunities twice in a row!" Carvalho yelled at Shevchenko fiercely when he stood up. The score was overtaken, and now Carvalho didn't want to be the sinner of the team's backwardness again, so he had to be tougher.

This was the best scoring opportunity before the end of the first half, but Kaka's pass and Shevchenko's shot were still intercepted by Chelsea's defensive players in front of the goal. As the shot was blocked by Carvalho's legs, the referee's whistle for the end of the half also sounded.

Before the players of both teams walked into the locker room, they had two different expressions. The group of beasts on the Chelsea side waved their hands vigorously at their fans in the stands, while the players of AC Milan could only walk into the passage with their heads down and did not do anything else.

Maybe even the players of AC Milan themselves did not expect that this damn game would be played like this. After leading by one to zero, they had already mastered all the initiatives. They only needed to play in the usual way and grind the opponent to death bit by bit. The final victory must belong to them.

But at this moment, a ghostly kid actually broke through their defense, and twice. Damn, Gattuso spat on the grass when he left the field. He ran for 45 minutes, and now even his breathing was particularly heavy, but he still couldn't defend it!

What a damn game! It is estimated that Gattuso is not the only one cursing like this now. Maybe all Italians are thinking so. The kid who roared at them after scoring a goal is now more annoying than the devil. Every time he breaks through, he will bring threats and depressing results.

Even Sacchi had to admit when commenting on the first half of the game, "I seem to have underestimated the ability of Lin Yi, so he hit me back with two goals. This may be a common mistake between me and Ancelotti. That little guy is a dangerous element who can really create threats."

Sacchi, a tough guy who never likes to admit mistakes, can say such words. You can imagine what kind of attack Lin Yi made AC Milan suffer in the last 20 minutes of the first half. He was simply trying to destroy the opponent.

The group of English fans waving Chelsea flags in the stands are simply crazy. They responded to the Chelsea players' signals with such shouts, and also used such shouts to tell the Italians, "See! We are already ahead!"

It has been five or six years since they won the Champions League. Now the English really need this honor to fall on themselves again. They were once desperate when they were ahead of the opponent after the opening, but Lin Yi's goal not only awakened their shouts, but also made them see the possibility of winning the championship.

"That's a magical kid! He will lead us to lift the trophy!" This is the most common phrase Chelsea fans say now. When Lin Yi scored consecutive goals, countless English people who were watching the game in the bars throughout London raised their glasses for this little guy.

"For Chelsea! For England!" This kind of scene is not only between Chelsea fans. Many neutral fans or fans of former mortal enemies will also raise their glasses for Lin Yi, shouting wildly together, roaring "Long live England".

At this moment, there is a dead silence in the city of Milan. No one is willing to cheer for such a situation, except for those English people. . .

It may be the first time that AC Milan's locker room is so quiet. Only the heavy breathing of the players can be heard, but no one speaks, including Ancelotti who just entered the locker room. He just stood in front of everyone and quietly looked at everyone's expression.

This group of battle-hardened veterans did not have a dejected expression, but their heads down and silence did not reflect the high-spirited feeling at the beginning of the game. Even Maldini, who always liked to communicate with others or encourage his teammates, chose to remain silent at this time.

The soul of the AC Milan team may be thinking about why the defense he led was so embarrassed by a young boy. Not only did he lose the ball, but he also allowed the opponent to control the rhythm of the game, and even Let the other party lead everyone by the nose.

The same goes for himself, if he hadn't moved ahead just now, maybe Duff wouldn't have passed the ball under his marker. Without that pass, the damn score wouldn't have been rewritten by the opponent again. Maldini is now What swayed in front of his eyes was the arc that Lin Yi made with his right foot.

Dida, who was sitting not far from him, took off his gloves and put a towel on his head. This guy who usually likes to chat is no longer talkative. Maybe he, as the number one goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team, is also there. Thinking back to the first half of the game, why did the opponent score two goals?

Damn, that damn heel shot, that damn curve ball, Dida clenched his hands, as if he wanted to vent his anger, but the perpetrator was not in front of him now, and he could only sit there depressed. In the locker room, I heard all the teammates breathing heavily.

Ancelotti remained silent for two minutes, but after two minutes, the fat man finally spoke, "One to two, a pretty bad score. Not only the fans in the stands thought so. , Even I think so, it’s a really bad result.”

The first words Ancelotti spoke made everyone focus on him. This is what Fatty An wanted. Facing this group of veterans, he didn't need to make any passionate speeches, because they didn't Needing that burst of passion, they just need quiet.

"We made mistakes, so we were punished accordingly. The game started to deviate from the rhythm we were accustomed to from the 20th minute. You, including myself, lost the feeling of the game you should have. The score is actually fair. , the opponent controlled the rhythm of the game for the next twenty and five minutes."

"But this is not the end. We still have forty-five minutes. It's okay to let Chelsea control for twenty-five minutes, because we still have a chance. I believe that the second half of the game belongs to us. The last person standing on the podium , it will definitely be us, I have no doubt about it.”

When Fatty An spoke, his tone never changed. He was always so calm, just like his coaching style on the sidelines. He rarely made any violent moves, as if everything was already well understood. There was no need to show excitement at all. , because he thought about every step.

"But we have to make adjustments. We lost our rhythm in the first half because our offense had problems. The most important thing was in the middle. We gave them too many opportunities, or we gave the little guy too many opportunities and Free, so we have to keep an eye on him in the second half!”

When Ancelotti finished saying this, he glanced at Gattuso intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't say it clearly, but his eyes already made Gattuso understand that this was giving him an order and Lin Yi's performance decision. Depending on the success or failure of Chelsea, in the second half, I must deal with that hateful boy.

"In the midfield, we must become more concise, especially in passing. There must be more vertical through balls, especially behind their right back Ferreira. This is where their defense is weak, Kaká. You and Seedorf have to try to get more space behind him here."

"Don't get entangled with Makelele, that Frenchman is a tough guy, try to get past him." Ancelotti warned Kaká. Although Kaká may not lose to his opponent in a one-on-one confrontation, Ancelotti Celotti didn't want his ace and his opponent to continue fighting like this.

"Pirlo, your position also requires prerequisites. Try to be as close as possible to Seedorf and Kaká. The defensive task is given to Gattuso. You try to make the opponent feel threatened by your offense, so that Kakádo can use his running to escape. Makelele’s entanglement, and you also have a chance to shoot from distance.”

It can be seen that Ancelotti was not satisfied with the team's offense in the first half, so he needed his No. 10 players to commit to the offense. Pirlo's long-range shooting skills and his passing were both breakthroughs. A good way to defend intensively, and his forward pressure can also help Kaka.

"I need to make a substitution adjustment, Crespo, your confrontation with Terry was very successful in the first half, but I need you to come down and take a rest now. This is not a punishment, but I need to change our offensive method now. ." Ancelotti looked at Crespo. Although he could see the disappointment on the Argentinian's face, the guy did not make any dissatisfied move, but just nodded with some depression.

"Philippe, you have been warming up for almost ten minutes. I hope you are ready to play now." After finishing the tasks of his players, Ancelotti finally called the guy he wanted to replace. The name of a guy who is not strong but very scary.

Filippo Inzaghi, a true assassin, Ancelotti took the lead in revealing his first trump card. Although this was not his original idea, in this passive situation, only changes can create trouble for the opponent. And Inzaghi will be his striker card. This killer in front of the goal will use his keen sense of smell to find loopholes in Chelsea's defense and deliver a fatal blow.

The guy called by Ancelotti didn't say anything, he just nodded quietly in the corner. For him, there were still forty-five minutes, and this would be the forty-five minutes for him to polish his bayonet.

A sharp knife will be placed at Chelsea's throat by Ancelotti. . .
