Star Coach

(Second update)

In the penalty area, Nonda and Smith ran at the same time, light and unpredictable, difficult to defend. Milan's two central defenders led the defense line, and the others followed quickly, like an iron chain, one link after another, not giving Monaco players a chance.

Pirlo's retreat was a beat late, Ribery met the ball that fell to the ground, took a step sideways, and there was a gap, and he shot under the watchful eyes of Seedorf.

The ball was powerful and full of explosive power, flying behind Maldini's buttocks, a chance to score. Dida was calm, dived sideways, and blocked the ball out of the penalty area, just in time to be controlled by Gattuso.

Evra ran past Dida and shook his head, "If it was Abbiati, he might have hugged the ball, right? There is a big difference." Dida had a blank expression on his face, and cursed Evra in his heart, "Did Abbiati give you money?"

Gattuso controlled the ball and was not in a hurry to attack. Ribery and Evra quickly launched a counterattack. Gattuso couldn't pass the ball forward, so he had to pass it to Pirlo behind him.

Pirlo was only surrounded by Smith, who rushed over. Pirlo turned lightly and then kicked a long pass, elegant and calm. Costa unloaded the big ball on his chest.

Facing Cisse's pressing, Costa did not rush forward, but cleverly passed the ball to Seedorf who was advancing. Seedorf's ball control rhythm and technique were great, and neither Cisse nor Zicos could successfully grab the ball.

Seedorf directed the team to attack, Shevchenko and Inzaghi were running, and Seedorf faced Zicos, transferred, and passed to the front court.

Inzaghi appeared in the front court in an instant, received the ball, and the road ahead was smooth.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle again, offside.

Inzaghi had been offside twice in the first ten minutes of the game.

Givet and Rodriguez smiled at each other, full of gay love. If they had known that Inzaghi was on the offside line, they would certainly not let him succeed.

Roma kicked the ball out of the goal. Ribery received a pass from Cisse on the wing and faced Gattuso again, "Hey, I'm going to break your ankle."

Gattuso stared at the young man in front of him with an unknown anger, "In this era, don't you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? What cats and dogs want to do me? Fuck, I'll kill him later."

Under Gattuso's defense, Ribery couldn't find a good opportunity and passed the ball back to Cisse in the middle. Cisse passed the ball, Giuly received the ball, faced Kaladze, suddenly changed speed, and passed.

Electric mouse, the speed is really fast.

Kaladze didn't control the rhythm, Giuly had already left his defense range, Maldini had a strong ability to predict, and stood firmly on Giuly's breakthrough route.

This road is blocked.

Guly is not stupid, he immediately passed the ball, Smith inserted the shot from behind, but failed to pose a threat, hit Nesta, bounced out, and was controlled by Pirlo.

Smith and Ribery counter-grabbed, Pirlo passed the ball to Seedorf in a straight line, and the two followed. Seedorf faced Zicos and Ibarra and passed the ball back to Pirlo again.

During the pass, Monaco's counterattack had been cracked and no effective interception could be formed.

Pirlo calmly passed the ball to Costa again. Costa dribbled the ball and broke through at a very fast speed. He passed the ball to Shevchenko's feet and continued to move forward.

Shevchenko pulled to the side and faced Givet with a calm face. Inzaghi and Costa were also running next to him, which gave him an advantage against Monaco's defensive group.

Whoosh!

Everyone thought Shevchenko would pass the ball, but he didn't expect him to shoot directly. He was just a little unlucky and missed the post slightly, which made Roma sweat.

Guardiola watched Milan's transition from defense to offense and couldn't help but shudder. The key to Milan's attack was the passing of Pirlo and Seedorf. The two sent a kick to each other and directly broke Monaco's pressing.

"Strong, the counter-attack in the front court must be effective, and it is still difficult to face a midfielder with strong control." Guardiola and Jiangshan have similar ideas.

Counter-attack in the front court depends on the tacit understanding of the players, and Monaco is far from it.

The two sides were entangled in the midfield. Ribery feinted on the Monaco side and constantly stimulated Gattuso. The most important pass was always initiated from Giuly. On the defensive end, Smith was the troublemaker in the front court, constantly harassing Pirlo and Seedorf, running tirelessly.

Jiangshan's tactical arrangement made the head coaches watching the game on the scene shout loudly, "The front court arranged the forward to harass the midfield to launch the attack. Jiangshan, this guy, really made the best use of everything."

"The backcourt created an offside trap, the forward harassed the opponent's midfield, and the midfield feinted on the side of the team. Giuly's physical strength was retained to the maximum extent. Jiangshan is really powerful." Mourinho secretly regarded Jiangshan as his biggest opponent, "I must surpass him in the future. I am older than him and must succeed earlier than him."

Ferguson watched Smith's performance and even thought of selling him. Players from Leeds United have good mental strength. He is particularly proud of buying Ferdinand, even though that guy has just been suspended for eight months.

Smith's personal ability is average, but he has a strong desire to fight. As long as any tactics are implemented, he will do his best to implement them. And he is physically fit and can fully support Jiangshan's tactical deployment.

Milan's arrangements are also very exciting. Ancelotti's experienced experience helps Milan calmly deal with Monaco's frontcourt counterattack.

Pirlo and Szydoff are double insurance, which is enough to deal with most of the pressing. With Gattuso's midfield strangulation, Monaco's attack is difficult to work.

In the first 30 minutes, although Milan did not have an advantage in the game, it had more absolute opportunities. Shevchenko's shot almost penetrated the Monaco goal, but his luck was a little bit worse.

The game is still going on. Jiangshan envied Milan's personnel configuration. If he was given the combination of Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso, and Drogba in the frontcourt, Milan would have been destroyed long ago.

Monaco has no Pirlo, no Seedorf, only the combination of Zicos and Cisse, so Drogba can't even find a chance to start. Nonda received the pass from Zicos and sprinted forward.

Ribery got entangled with Gattuso again, "If you have the ability to deal with me, I'm not afraid of you, you are too ugly."

Gattuso took a deep breath, not wanting to get angry, and cleverly blocked Smith's route. Nonda couldn't find a point to pass the ball, so he had to pass the ball back to Giuly's feet.

Jiangshan frowned when he saw this. Nonda should pass the ball directly, Ibarra has already moved up, just squeezing Milan's defense line, and his ball IQ is still a little lacking.

Giuly got the ball, and Ibarra couldn't go up again, otherwise the position would overlap. Giuly didn't have many opportunities in the middle, so he had to dribble the ball to the side. Nonda and Smith were both in the penalty area, and there was no absolute strong point, so the high ball didn't work.

The low ball was instantly spotted by Maldini, who destroyed the dangerous area and Gattuso got the ball. Ribery rushed up and made a tackle, which was successful.

He took the ball away and twisted his butt, "It was easy as expected."

Gattuso was furious and kicked directly and shoveled from behind. Ribery was waiting for him. Just after touching his body, he leaned back quickly, and his feet were entangled with the other party, like a couple on Guangmu.

Ah...

Ribery was rolling on Guangmu, and his screams were heartbreaking. Gattuso wanted to step on him again. This guy was too bad. He deliberately provoked him and attracted him to commit a foul.

The referee whistled, no doubt, shoveled from behind, didn't touch the ball, yellow card.

In the 37th minute, Gattuso sent a yellow card, and finally had some scruples.

The referee just awarded a set piece, and Jiangshan immediately changed players.

Less than halftime later, a substitution was made, causing a commotion at the Theatre of Dreams.
