Midfielder

Italian fans are the most confused now, but Ancelotti is definitely more disappointed than them.

Originally, it seemed that everything was under his control before the game, but now everything has changed.

He carefully arranged the lineup for almost a week, but before he even played, he was tricked by the opponent.

This was originally a very frustrating thing, but before he could roar and ask the team to destroy the opponent, a black-haired little madman had already taken action before him and hit AC Milan on the head.

I guess no one would not be disappointed, especially Ancelotti who has been preparing for revenge in the Champions League.

Mourinho's trap made all Ancelotti's pre-match deployments empty talk. He originally wanted to use offense to destroy the opponent's defense, but now it seems that Chelsea's offense is even more brutal.

Those animals may not have planned to stabilize their defense, otherwise they would not have pressed forward in the previous attack. Lin Yi broke through with the ball, and these guys spread out in all directions, which was simply a three-dimensional offensive.

If Gattuso hadn't committed a foul, once the kid had made a breakthrough, he would definitely have directly threatened Dida.

But now it seems that the effect of this foul is also a blow. Gattuso not only carried a yellow card, but also let Chelsea seize this opportunity and successfully take the lead.

In the competition between the head coach and the players, Mourinho had the upper hand. In terms of the players' on-the-spot response, Lin Yi used a wonderful assist less than 35 seconds after the start to put Chelsea in the lead temporarily.

Although the score of one to zero is not a catastrophic consequence, this goal that was penetrated by the opponent at the beginning did make AC Milan's originally high revenge atmosphere instantly dispersed a lot.

Mourinho pitted Ancelotti in the deployment of troops, and Lin Yi, the little madman, put a bunch of sharp blades with the tip facing up in the big pit dug by Mourinho less than a minute after the start.

The stab was really painful. The power of the stick was really amazing. Chelsea's goal was not only fast, but also fierce. AC Milan was caught off guard and panicked.

Mourinho dared Chelsea to fight to the death in the decisive battle. First, he had to use temporary changes to disrupt the opponent's arrangement, and even more so, he had to suppress the opponent in the offensive.

Lin Yi's inspiration made Mourinho's heart, which had been hanging a little, put it down after the opening. It is estimated that no one expected that this little madman would score in this way.

Everyone knows that Lin Yi rarely takes free kicks. In addition to the fact that he rarely specializes in this conventional weapon, more importantly, Lin Yi often uses passes and breakthroughs to attract other people's attention. There are Robben and Lampard who are good at set-piece tactics, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all, so he can only succeed by suddenly attacking.

Even Ancelotti was upset in his heart. Gattuso's yellow card was enough to upset him. Who knew that this damn free kick would become Chelsea's offensive means of scoring.

Ancelotti must have never heard of this saying, "Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, be afraid of thieves thinking about it", but now he must know that Lin Yi was thinking about it, so his free kick created a killing intent.

That's right, it was a flash of inspiration. Lin Yi himself admitted that he actually wanted to shoot before the opponent's wall was lined up, but the distance was a bit too far, and he was afraid that the power would not be enough if he swung his legs in place.

And Gattuso's tackle was really fierce. Although there was a shin guard for defense, this kind of head-on tackle still made Lin Yi's right leg feel a little numb, and it was indeed a bit difficult to shoot.

However, in training, he and Ribery had played such a counter-attack in the penalty area. The only difference was that most of the time they cooperated in motion, and this time it was completely a flash of inspiration.

It's just that this combination of passing and running happened too suddenly, and no one reacted.

Ribery's forward run was very accurate, and Lin Yi's pass was also very accurate, directly penetrating the back line.

This kind of cooperation, maybe if you ask Lin Yi to do it again, he can't copy it. This is a completely arbitrary assist, but this unconventional method can always create miracles under Lin Yi's feet.

Chelsea is happy, but AC Milan is in trouble. The opponent scored a goal at the beginning, which hurt their morale. Even for an experienced team like them, it is difficult to reverse the unfavorable situation in a short time. Chelsea is also unreasonable, pressing the opponent's offensive momentum and starting to rush.

When suppressing the opponent, you must exert your strength and not give the opponent a chance to breathe. Although Chelsea is now leading, Mourinho still waved his hand on the sidelines, so the team must continue to press forward.

This may make many people familiar with Chelsea feel a little confused, especially some coaches who have played against Mourinho. Usually, the Portuguese likes to start defensive counterattacks after taking the lead.

Why did he suddenly change his nature this time? Does he still want to eat up the opponent in one go in the Champions League final?

Damn, that's AC Milan, can it be the kind of team that can be defeated by a few random attacks? Even if they are the main attackers, the Italians' natural defensive system can't be defeated by anyone just like that.

Perhaps only old hands like Ferguson and Wenger can understand what Mourinho is doing, especially the professor sitting in the commentary booth, he knows very well why Mourinho is taking such a risk.

Generally, Chelsea will choose to shrink its defense after taking the lead, and then concentrate on counterattack.

I don't know how many teams have fallen into Mourinho's hands like this, and with Lin Yi as a passing machine in the midfield, Chelsea's two wingers attacking together, it is really invincible.

Don't forget that in normal games, Chelsea's defensive midfielders are all in charge of midfielders such as Makelele and Essien. Mourinho makes them exist to intercept in the midfield.

The forward's on-the-spot counter-grab is only one aspect. The essence of Chelsea's defensive counterattack is the protection between the defensive midfielder and the back line. They can cut off the opponent's pass and breakthrough outside the penalty area.

Then pass the ball to Lin Yi's feet as soon as possible, use his pass, and launch a counterattack in an instant.

In addition to Lin Yi's accurate pass, the most important thing for this high-efficiency counterattack is the defensive strength of the midfield. Only by counter-grabbing in the most dangerous area can you immediately engage in defensive counterattacks.

Interceptors like Makelele and Essien have always been indispensable for Mourinho to build a steel defense line, but the defensive midfielder in this game is not the defensive type he is most accustomed to.

Gerrard's defensive ability is not bad, but compared with Makelele, who relies entirely on defense to make a living in the professional football circle, it is still a step behind. Gerrard's role is more in offense. Mourinho gave up his two iron waists in order to have a comprehensive public confrontation with AC Milan.

In this case, old foxes like Wenger and Ferguson know that unless there is a substitution, Mourinho's team must attack, and the attack must be very fierce to ensure that there is no problem in the back release. Otherwise, once they relax and fight a positional war with the opponent, there will definitely be problems.

Chelsea's defense is indeed very strong, but don't forget that they are now facing AC Milan.

The Italians also swept a large area in the Champions League before reaching the final. If we simply compare the offensive power, I am afraid Chelsea has no advantage. Therefore, it is definitely not possible to rely on simple defense to maintain the lead of this goal. Only offense can ensure the safety of the defense.

Moreover, Chelsea has just scored a goal and is in high spirits. If they can suppress the opponent with this courage, maybe Chelsea can always take the initiative on the field and grasp the rhythm of the whole game.

Mourinho personally customized the tactics, so he knows where his shortcomings are. Without others reminding him, he also knows how to grasp the current rhythm on the field. Attack is the only way out.

Even if he is leading now, Mourinho is also loudly reminding Lin Yi on the sidelines that he must control the opponent and press, and must crush the Italians to death! Use continuous attacks to destroy them!

Just after scoring a goal, Chelsea's morale was already high. Needless to say, Lin Yi led the beasts to rush. Ancelotti kept reminding his players on the sidelines that they must hold on!

But this is not a problem that can be solved by yelling. Gattuso has a yellow card on his back, and AC Milan now has only one full-time defensive midfielder on the field. His defensive pressure is indeed very high.

Lin Yi seemed to be aiming at Gattuso. He almost rushed towards Gattuso every time he dribbled the ball.

This made Ancelotti's heart beat wildly on the sidelines, fearing that Gattuso's fierce strength would knock Lin Yi down on the grass again. If they fell behind 0-1 and lost a midfielder, there would be no need to play this game. Just admit defeat and leave.

Fortunately, perhaps because Chelsea pressed too hard, Seedorf and Pirlo were both pushed back, which indirectly helped Gattuso. With these two helpers, Lin Yi couldn't take too many advantages.

But Lin Yi, who was specially set up by Mourinho to roam in the midfield, now has enough space to intersperse by taking advantage of the team's massive pressure. Mourinho did not give him a fixed position. As long as he can form an offensive threat, Lin Yi can appear in any corner at will, and the whole team is cooperating with him.

Breakthrough, pass, these concepts are now in Lin Yi's mind. Once the opponent's defense has a loophole and he catches the opportunity, AC Milan's defense line will definitely be in a state of panic.

Just two minutes after the goal, Lin Yi tore through AC Milan's defense again. He broke through in the middle, because Gattuso did not dare to kick hard, Lin Yi squeezed past him, and Pirlo's tackle was also left behind by him. In front of the penalty area, Lin Yi swung his legs as if he was ready to kick a long shot.

However, when Nesta came up to defend, Lin Yi's ankle shook, and the shot turned into a lob pass in an instant. Drogba pressed Stam to head the ball, and Lampard grabbed the first point and volleyed sideways!

If Dida hadn't reacted quickly enough and blocked it one step ahead, Lampard's powerful shot might have penetrated AC Milan's goal again. Even so, Drogba's second shot in front of the goal almost succeeded, which made Ancelotti and the Italian fans in the stands sweat.

However, this was just a prelude to Chelsea's crazy attack. Andy Gray and Lineker might not have expected that the rhythm of the whole game in a Champions League final would be so fast!

Before the smoke of Lampard's volley and Drogba's shot in front of the goal had dissipated, Chelsea's attack came back again, and with Lineker's passionate voice, Chelsea fans cheered.

"Lin Yi escaped the interceptions of Gattuso and Pirlo in the middle. He passed the ball accurately and found Robben on the wing. Robben alertly dodged Cafu's steal. He used his speed to pass the ball on the wing. Breakthrough, continuous shaking, Robben and Cafu formed a one-on-one situation on the wing, fake move! Beautiful fake move, Robben used two consecutive changes of direction to get rid of Cafu, and went directly to Bottom line! He opened up a pass and passed! Drogba beat Nesta to header! "

"God is on the side of the Italians. They continued their good luck. Drogba's header just hit the crossbar! This strong African elephant looked very annoyed."

Lineker explained passionately, but at the same time he couldn't hide his regret for Drogba's attack just now. He is an authentic Englishman, so he had no intention of shouting for the Italians.

And as the former number one center in England, Lineker not only admired the little lunatic from Chelsea, but also paid more attention to standard centers like Drogba. The header just now was indeed a pity, Robben's The pass was very accurate, and Drogba's head shake was also very beautiful. The only regret was that the football failed to get into the net, but hit the crossbar hard, and the sound was very clear.

Andy Gray didn't forget to tease Lineker, "Hey, Gary, Drogba's header just didn't go in. If it was you who went up to hit it, maybe it should have gone in."

Andy Gray still admires this former one of the greatest centers in England.

"If I had these guys from Chelsea behind me, maybe I wouldn't have chosen to retire, but would have kept playing. With their passing, I really don't have to worry about not having a chance to shoot!"

Lineker was definitely inspired by this. England had a genius like Gascoigne and a brilliant figure like Platt, but compared with the current Chelsea, it still lacked a bit of ghostliness, especially In terms of passing the ball, being a center on this team is a blessing.

The two guys had time to assume the history that had not happened in the commentary box, but the heated confrontation on the court did not stop. Drogba's header failed to score, which made Brito and others very depressed, but then Chelsea's successive attacks have been pressuring AC Milan's midfielder to gradually retreat. This is what Mourinho needs most. Although he did not change the score, what he asked for has been achieved, especially Lin Yi. This kid is as slick as a loach on the court, always able to get into the opponent's heart, but just like his free kick assist, he is sharpening his knife for others.

Whether it is Ancelotti or the Italian commentators and fans, they are all reminding their players to pay attention to Lin Yi's pass. That kid's pass is now Chelsea's biggest threat! You must keep an eye on him! But everyone may have forgotten that when Lin Yi ended AC Milan's hopes of winning the Champions League last season, he used not only precise passes, but he could also score goals!

But everyone was confused by this kid's precise passing, including the experienced Wenger, who pointed out in the commentary, "Most of Chelsea's offense now relies on Lin Yi's breakthrough and passing. AC Milan The defense must pay attention to his passing lines and connecting points. Only such a highly layered defense can cut off the threats brought by this kind of passing, especially vertical through balls.”

Maybe Wenger is still using his Premier League thinking to interpret such a confrontation, but he forgot that the further Lin Yi retreats, the more room he has to break through, and he has more options after breaking through.

Passing is just one of them. He has more than this kind of weapon. This little madman has enough means to kill the opponent, and in the more than a month since he disappeared, he has strengthened some of his flaws.

The game had lasted for almost twenty minutes, and Chelsea's fierce attack seemed to have stalled slightly.

Ancelotti kept thinking about how to relieve the pressure on his defensive line on the sidelines, asking his players to press forward as much as possible to keep the opponent away from his penalty area so as to gain a chance to breathe.

Finally, Chelsea's attack slowed down a bit. Ancelotti asked Pirlo, Kaká, Seedorf and others to rely on passing and running to push the entire defense forward. AC Milan needed to attack after holding on for a long time!

Being behind by a goal and being suppressed by the opponent for so long, Ancelotti must let his players take a breath. Otherwise, if he continues to play like this, no matter how strong his concrete defense is, he will be pushed away by the opponent with a battering ram.

But at the moment AC Milan tried to counterattack, the black-haired kid who had been passing the ball to his teammates suddenly took action in the midfield after intercepting Gattuso's pass, with lightning speed. , shortening the distance between him and the goal almost instantly, creating an instant threat.

Gattuso probably never dreamed that Lin Yi would spare no effort to help defend from the other side, so when the kid stretched out his feet to tackle, Gattuso had not reacted yet and watched Lin Yi finish in a daze. This was a beautiful tackle, and he started running towards the goal with this momentum.

At this moment, whether it was Ancelotti on the sidelines, the tens of thousands of fans in the stands, or even the tens of millions of viewers on the TV, they seemed to have a feeling when they saw the figure walking away. There is a feeling that in this crucial game, only this figure can decide everything.

There is a kind of moment that will be frozen forever, such as this moment. . .
