Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

After the incident in the player tunnel passed, players from both teams quickly followed the footsteps of the referee team and stepped onto the court.

After a year, the two teams met again in the Champions League group stage. Although they had changed their head coaches, they also changed their tactics.

But because of their advantage in head-to-head results last year, the Milan players are quite confident.

And countless fans who were paying attention to this game also became excited at this moment.

Looking around, the people coming out of the player tunnel are football superstars one after another!

Ronaldo, Di Maria, Xavi Alonso, Casillas, Ramos

Ibrahimovic, Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, Zambrotta, Ronaldinho, Nesta

Looking at the reputation of the players, Milan's momentum has completely overshadowed Real Madrid's.

No matter how old the superstars in Milan are, old superstars are still superstars.

There is also Inzaghi sitting on the Milan bench. When it comes to overall reputation, Real Madrid today is really no match for AC Milan.

But fame is fame, and in terms of combat effectiveness, Real Madrid is far behind Milan.

At least in Mourinho's view, there is no chance that the young Real Madrid he leads can't beat the Milan dynasty in its twilight years.

After all, everyone has to age, and the irreversible decline in various body functions cannot be easily compensated for by technology.

He also prepared a "tactical gift" for Milan's new coach Allegri today.

He doesn’t know if the opponent likes it or not, but Real Madrid supporters will definitely like it very much~

“Both Real Madrid and AC Milan used a four-three-three starting formation today.

On Milan's side, the defense line from left to right is: Antonini, Bonera, Nesta, Zambrotta.

The three midfielders are left midfielder Seedorf, midfielder Pirlo, and right midfielder Gattuso.

Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, and Pato started together on the front line.

Real Madrid's defense, from left to right, is: Marcelo, Carvalho, Pepe, Ramos.

The three midfielders are double midfielder Anga Alonso and central midfielder Khedira.

On the forward line, Ronaldo, Higuain, and Di Maria formed the offensive trident today, with Benzema on standby. "

He Wei is still sitting in the studio of Radio 5 today to explain the focus of this round of Champions League to domestic fans.

However, the guest commentator who partnered with him today was changed from director Zhang Lu to Xu Yang.

After talking to Xu Yang and asking him to introduce the starting players of the two teams, He Wei quickly took over the conversation and introduced the recent records and game status of the two European giants.

Real Madrid's morale and form are at its peak. Currently, they have six wins and one draw in the league. They have won the first two rounds of the Champions League group stage and have yet to lose.

Milan, after experiencing turbulent results at the beginning of the season, recently ushered in a wave of three consecutive league wins.

Milan also had one win and one draw in the first two rounds of the Champions League group stage, and is in pretty good shape.

It can be said that in this round of focus showdown, Real Madrid and Milan are both in good form, fully worthy of the promotion title of "Strong Dialogue".

At the beginning of the game, Milan also took the initiative to launch a high-pressure press in the frontcourt. It seemed that they still looked confident that they were "not afraid of Real Madrid."

But how can I put it, Ibrahimovic and Pato grabbed the ball vigorously, Ronaldinho pressed up and ran a few steps and waited for his teammates to steal the ball.

However, Gattuso and Seedorf, who are getting older, are not as fast as they were when they were young. They still try their best to fight, but the results are not so good.

Because Real Madrid's backcourt players were running faster and their passing and receiving speed was also increased. With the cooperation of several crisp short passes, Milan's intention of high-pressure encirclement in the frontcourt was quickly broken.

Among them, Li Ang also used a successful close ball protection confrontation to defeat Seedorf.

He currently weighs less than 80 kilograms, but his core strength is solid and his shoulders are broad. A strong back to protect the ball and a cross pass left Seedorf helpless.

As soon as the ball reached Alonso's feet, Real Madrid's simple and efficient long pass counterattack started.

It is still about looking for Ronaldo. It is right to let Ronaldo make a sudden attack at the beginning to test the strength of the opponent's side defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo had this ability before his knee was seriously injured, and Zambrotta looked at Cristiano Ronaldo who had stopped the ball and came straight to him and urgently called Gattuso to help defend against the double team.

Cristiano Ronaldo has faced AC Milan twice in his previous career, but both times Cristiano Ronaldo was eliminated.

At that time, he was still at Manchester United, facing Milan at its peak. Kaká, who defeated him in 2007, even won the final Ballon d'Or.

Last year, Real Madrid met Milan in the Champions League group stage, which should have been Ronaldo's best "revenge" opportunity.

But it was a pity that he was injured and could not play at that time. He could only watch Real Madrid defeat Milan in front of the TV and had nothing to do.

It was a "coincidence" that we met again this year. Cristiano Ronaldo's health was not a problem at all. It can only be said that it was God's will that a healthy Cristiano Ronaldo and Milan should be allowed to fight again.

At this time, Ronaldo, who was full of confidence, quickly advanced with the ball on the wing. Faced with the double-teaming of Zambrotta and Gattuso, he had no idea of ​​retreating.

A bicycle stepped on, and Ronaldo suddenly started to speed up on the wing, directly passing Zambrotta who was slightly inward!

But when Zambrotta and Gattuso also tried their best to catch up, Cristiano Ronaldo spiked the ball inside again.

The speed was fast enough and the explosion was strong enough. Even though he was slightly embarrassed by the timely closing defense of Gattuso and Zambrotta, Ronaldo still successfully broke into the edge of Milan's penalty area!

After adjusting his breathing and steps slightly, Cristiano Ronaldo exerted all his energy and directly hit a long shot!

But this time Milan goalkeeper Amelia was also very focused.

At the critical moment, he blocked this threatening football that went straight to the lower right corner of the goal!

The shocked Bonera quickly drove the ball towards the half-court, not giving Higuain the chance to steal the chicken again.

Ronaldo shook his fist and roared in annoyance.

Standing in the backcourt, Li Ang only had time to cover his head and say a pity, and then he immediately ran with Ibrahimovic towards the landing point of the football.

Ibrahimovic, who is tall and has long legs, relies on the "model" being big enough. At this moment, he doesn't take Li Ang coming from behind him seriously at all.

He had already found a route and was ready to pass the ball to Ronaldinho, who had already pulled aside to start. Then he quickly moved forward to see if he could counterattack Real Madrid.

But Li Ang did not rush up to block the position with him as he thought.

Li Ang is not stupid, he will definitely suffer a loss if he and Ibrahimovic stand firm to compete for position.

The difference in height is just over ten centimeters. In terms of static confrontation, he is no match for Ibrahimovic now.

He estimated the time when the football would fall, adjusted his step point in advance, and only started to accelerate suddenly in the last two or three steps!

Ibrahimovic was caught off guard and jumped a little hastily, while Li Ang sprinted with all his strength to fight for the top!

Although the two almost touched the ball together in the end and neither succeeded in fighting for a point, Li Ang's defense was successful, but Ibrahimovic's counterattack plan failed.

"I'm sorry!"

Ibrahimovic, who was hurt by Li Ang coming from behind, was quite annoyed.

He covered his head that was still buzzing and turned around to look, but what was left for him was a figure who was also rubbing his forehead and grinning and quickly returned to defense.

"Hey, this guy"

Ibrahimovic was a little angry at first, but when he saw that Li Ang seemed to be even worse than him, his mood suddenly improved a little.

At this moment, tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans in the south stand of the Bernabeu also applauded and cheered for Li Ang's brave and tough defense.

He Wei and Xu Yang were even more excited and praised Li Ang repeatedly.

The defense was indeed very good this time. Li Ang's decisive charge did not give Ibrahimovic a chance to calmly organize the frontcourt attack.

And when facing an opponent who was much taller and stronger than himself, Li Ang was not afraid at all.

If you dare to defend, you can defend!

At this moment, Li Ang left countless neutral fans with a distinct image of being both tough and capable.

Real Madrid's simple offensive and defensive transition at the beginning also showed their overall advantage against Milan.

It will be difficult for Milan's defense to restrain Real Madrid's sharp advances like last season.

On the defensive end, there is Li Ang, a young defensive midfielder who dares to attack and charge and takes on frontal defense, plus Alonso who has not yet exerted his strength.

It is much more difficult for Milan to break into Real Madrid's defense than last year.

After seeing the offensive and defensive results this time, countless Real Madrid fans were relieved.

Although Brother Milan is strong, he is ultimately no match for time.

Real Madrid has been strengthening every year, with new blood joining, and even champion coach Mourinho.

Milan's lineup is getting older year by year. The superstars who were the mainstay five or six years ago have now become veterans, but they are still playing the main role.

Judging from the most intuitive comparison of investment, Milan cannot become a stumbling block for Real Madrid, which is striving for revival.

The subsequent game process basically evolved into a situation where Real Madrid controlled the rhythm and continued to attack. Milan was forced to close the formation again and again, and rarely got several opportunities to counterattack.

Ronaldinho lost his temper. He was completely useless when he couldn't get the ball in the frontcourt.

Because he really doesn't like to defend, even if he tries to defend, the defensive efficiency can only be said to be marginal.

Allegri would be standing on the sidelines of the court now, looking at his side being almost beaten by Real Madrid with a sad expression on his face.

It was especially helpless to see Pirlo being attacked head-on by Khedira again and again, but unable to keep up with the pursuit.

But now he really has no one to replace him with.

The old captain Ambrosini has relapsed from an old injury and is currently on the hospital bed again. In the midfielder position, the only ones he can use now are Pirlo and Flamini.

But to be honest, neither of these two is the type of defensive midfielder he likes.

Other Italian coaches may like to move the playmaker back, but he likes the "all-round warrior".

His favorite is the type of midfielder who is tough enough, balanced offensively and defensively, and physically strong enough.

So he reused Gattuso and Seedorf as soon as he took office.

Ronaldinho and Pirlo are both roles that should be replaced in his tactical design. Boateng, who is currently playing as a substitute for Ronaldinho, is basically his default starting midfielder.

It's Pirlo who has always given Allegri a headache.

Thinking of this, Allegri couldn't help but subconsciously look at the Real Madrid half, and at Li Ang, who was holding on to protect the midfield and backfield because Alonso was pressing the organization.

Is it hard? This nineteen-year-old boy is indeed tough!

After confronting Ibrahimovic, Li Ang used a fierce shovel to block Pato's rapid advancement, and even fought with Seedorf on the wing until both fell to the ground!

The ball is good enough, he has a way of protecting the ball, and his organizational ability is not obvious, because before, Alonso was in control of the ball.

But the defensive midfielder with poor organizational skills is not a problem for Allegri, because he can rely on Ibrahimovic for frontcourt offense.

The frontcourt offensive model with Ibrahimovic as the core is enough in Serie A. The midfielder only needs to sort out the ball, and then.

Just give the ball to Ibrahimovic, what else is there to do in the backcourt?

He is good at defense, tough enough, can help his teammates on both sides of the midfield to deliver the ball, can provide timely support and defense, covers a large area, is still young, and does not cost much money to pay for his salary.

Allegri became more and more satisfied and moved as he looked at Leon.

It wasn't until the sudden whistle sounded on the field that Allegri took his eyes away from Li Ang with difficulty.

"Who committed the foul? Real Madrid or our players?"

"We, we gave Real Madrid a free kick."

"Huh? Where is it?"

"The top of the penalty area."

Allegri was dumbfounded when he heard the assistant's explanation.

At this moment, the Real Madrid fans were all happy.

Mourinho also walked to the sidelines, stared at the football that had been set up, and began to measure the steps while striking a handsome pose.

This distance is a good opportunity for Ronaldo to score.

Li Ang previously told Ronaldo that he was the world's best free kick master, which was not entirely a good thing.

Whether it is the first or not, fans from all walks of life naturally have different answers, but there is no doubt that Ronaldo in the 10-11 season is indeed the top three free kick masters on the planet.

Milan formed a wide "human wall" of seven people, almost blocking the possibility of the football bypassing the wall in front of the penalty area.

His fear of Ronaldo's free kicks is evident.

After the referee blew the whistle again, Ronaldo quickly took a run, and then kicked an exaggerated short-distance elevator ball that only rose more than one meter and then fell rapidly!

This free kick went straight through the wall and into the lower right corner of the goal under the astonished gaze of Milan goalkeeper Amelia!

It was exactly the same as the long-range shot targeted by Cristiano Ronaldo in the opening stage!

But this time Amelia could only watch the ball go into the net.

After all, the wall composed of seven Milan players and three Real Madrid players was directly penetrated. He really couldn't figure it out!

Allegri cursed with an ugly expression.

On the other side, Mourinho roared and turned around, signaling the Real Madrid fans behind him to give his players a bigger and more enthusiastic cheer!

Li Ang and Alonso happily ran to the frontcourt.

Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick was really beautiful, and he took the lead in just the 14th minute. It was also a "perfect" first 15 minutes for Real Madrid!

AC Milan was suppressed on both offense and defense, and the strength of Real Madrid continued in the Champions League.

The Milan dynasty, which once shocked the world, has finally reached its twilight.

One win and one draw against Real Madrid last season should be their last afterglow.

And Li Ang knows more clearly how desperate AC Milan will fall into in the future.

Fortunately, Milan can still last two or three seasons in Serie A before it completely falls off the cliff.

Li Ang felt that his close "inspection" could end early.

He was satisfied.

Whether it's the current situation of Milan's midfield or the veterans in Milan's squad.

He was very satisfied.
