Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

"We will beat Milan. There is no doubt that everyone will fight to the end to win. We are ready!"

"At this juncture we will try our best. Maybe we didn't do well enough before, but those bad performances are in the past. Now we have the best condition and everything can happen. At San Siro everything is possible Take three points?"

"Ezequiel (Lavezzi) is very frustrated. His injury will indeed make the game more complicated, but we will also fight for him. No Napoli player will back down in front of Milan."

"See you on the evening of the 28th, Forza Napoli!!!"

When the Naples team left for Milan one day early, almost every main Naples player revealed to reporters their determination to win.

The entire city of Naples seemed to be boiling because of this Serie A battle.

Naples fans wearing blue jerseys set off to Milan in waves.

The atmosphere of the war has been heightened by the previous week's media reports.

Even though the relationship between Milan and Naples is far from mortal enemies.

But under this overwhelming publicity, there was also a trace of public anger between the two teams.

After all, a champion has no friends.

Coupled with the fan groups of other top six teams in Serie A fanning the flames.

Fans of Naples and Milan had a small verbal conflict in Milan on the evening of the 27th.

Fortunately, there were no extreme fans on either side, so the fight didn't start.

But the relationship was forged first.

Because after the game between Sampdoria and Inter Milan on the evening of February 27, this round of Serie A has ended with nine games.

Therefore, this Serie A focus game on the evening of February 28th is also the last game of this round of Serie A.

To say that all Serie A fans around the world will watch this game on time is a stretch.

But it is not a big problem to say that 80% of Serie A fans will contribute ratings to this game.

If converted into numbers, it would be hundreds of millions. For today's Serie A league, this number of viewers is still quite impressive.

At the beginning of the live broadcast of the game that night, players from both sides had just entered the stadium one after another with the referee team. The ratings of this game in Italy and overseas were rising like a rocket.

Chinese fans have made a great contribution.

Tonight, Liu Jianhong and Zhang Lu were on time in the TV studio to provide commentary and commentary on the game for Chinese fans.

The two chatted for a while, starting from Milan's Champions League defeat, the last round's victory over Chievo, to Naples' recent three-game winning streak in the league.

Then they routinely praised Li Ang's recent performance. It wasn't until the handshake ceremony between the two teams was completed in the live broadcast that they returned to the topic.

"Okay! The game is about to begin. Director Zhang, please introduce to the audience the starting lineups of both teams today."

"Okay. The home team Milan still adopted the same 4-4-2 starting formation as in the last round of the league today.

Goalkeeper Abbiati.

The defense line is lined up from left to right, they are:

Antonini, Thiago Silva, Nesta, Abate.

In the midfield, it is still a diamond-shaped midfielder position. Pirlo starts deep, Liang and Gattuso are on both sides of the midfield, and Boateng comes forward.

The two forwards are Ibrahimovic and Pato. "

“Naples still adopted the three-four-three starting formation that they are good at today.

Goalkeeper De Sanctis.

Defensive line

Because of Lavezzi's injury, Cavani, Mascara, and Hamsik formed Naples' new offensive trident today.

Compared with the past, Naples' offensive ability has declined today, but they did not show weakness at Milan's home court and still formed a very offensive starting formation.

Mazzarri must have made sufficient tactical preparations.”

Amid Zhang Lu's talk, Milan and Naples also quickly completed the simple pre-match ceremony.

Half a minute later, with the whistle of the referee on duty, the focus of the 27th round of Serie A between Milan and Naples kicked off on time!

Facing the Naples offensive players who kicked off first and then moved forward quickly, Milan seemed to have a very tight defensive position as if they had expected it.

Naples midfielder Gargano saw that he had no chance to seize the opening by walking on the ground, so he simply sent a long pass.

Cavani, who has recently become famous in Serie A and is in hot form, judged the ball's placement and rushed into Milan's half.

He is very confident in his physical fitness.

But many times, the battle for the ball does not necessarily depend on physical fitness as the final result.

Position is often the more important deciding factor on the court.

Li Ang took the defensive position one step ahead of Cavani, and after tightening his core, he did not take off with all his strength.

Cavani's fight for the top was very impactful, and Li Ang suffered a heavy loss as expected. He was knocked away and fell to the turf.

But before the fans in Naples could get happy, the referee's whistle sounded in time.

"Why is this an offensive foul?! That kid just didn't stand firm. My player was going for the ball!"

Mazzarri seemed very dissatisfied and spread his hands on the sidelines to complain.

But in fact, he knew very well that Li Ang had already taken a position in advance, and it was just a "fishing law enforcement" against Cavani.

His complaints at this moment were just routine pressure on the referee team.

"This kid's defensive awareness is getting better and better. He's not easy to deal with."

Mazari sighed in his heart.

Allegri, who was not far from him, was already putting pressure on the fourth official while casting a satisfied look at Li Ang.

Milan won the ball, and Cavani gave the referee a "reckless" impression at the beginning. Li Ang's "suffering" was actually very profitable.

The fans on both sides were too lazy to think about it. More than 60,000 Milan fans began to boo the Naples players on the court.

More than 10,000 Naples fans couldn't boo at all, but the boos from both sides mixed together, immediately turning San Siro into a noise-making machine.

Master Pi was already used to such a scene. He picked his ears and paid attention to Li Ang's physical condition before slowly taking a set kick from the backcourt.

Milan's veterans in the midfield and backfield firmly controlled the ball at their feet and were not in a hurry to attack.

Compared with Naples' "childishness", Milan plays more leisurely.

Cavani is very good at running, and Hamsik is no less generous, but their pressing in front of Pirlo did not have the same effect against other teams in the past.

Master Pi's freehand distribution and running of the ball may seem careless, but he has organized and planned the ball path in advance.

When he devoted himself fully to the organization and scheduling, the entire Milan midfield and backfield ran naturally and smoothly.

Naples grabbed the ball for ten minutes at the beginning, but in the end they didn't even get the ball. They were stunned by the big men in Milan's backcourt and Leon.

It was also an eye-opener for Li Ang. It was rare to see Master Pi perform at his full strength.

"Brother Long should be able to achieve this effect, but if he is as free and easy as Pirlo, I'm afraid it's still a little bit behind. Master Pi's ability to control the ball is really good."

Li Ang subconsciously compared his teacher Alonso and Pirlo, and finally had to admit it.

Brother Long is more versatile than Pirlo and can organize defense.

But in terms of organization and ability to break pressure, only Xavi can compare to Pirlo today.

Brother Long's skills are still a bit behind.

After retracting his envious eyes, Li Ang, under the command of Master Pi, and Gattuso moved closer to the midfield sideline to make full use of the width of the court for passing and running.

After seeing Napoli's defensive gaps exposed due to the pressure of the formation, Pirlo also began to use his precise long passes to organize Milan's counterattack.

The three-four-three formation used by Naples head coach Mazzarri is actually relatively balanced in offense and defense.

Especially when playing anti-counterattack, the effect will be very prominent.

But like all teams that play three central defenders, Naples also has a major hidden danger on the defensive end.

That is, once the opponent successfully passes through the midfield and plays behind the defense line, their three central defenders will suffer a big loss in terms of speed.

After all, the wing backs seem to be integrated with offense and defense, but many times they cross the half court to participate in the offense, and it takes time to return to defense.

Allegri has studied Naples quite thoroughly.

Knows how to make Naples play awkward and uncomfortable.

With Pirlo's long pass, Milan's counterattack quickly swept past the Naples midfield without any problem.

As for the speed that makes Naples' central defenders feel uncomfortable.

Allegri arranged for Pato to start in this game, just to let him do this job!

Although the "young general" Pato, who is only 21 years old, may have a slightly "glassy" body, when he is healthy, he is completely a killer in Serie A.

He is fast, has good shooting skills, and has outstanding technique.

Last year, when he was only 20 years old, he represented Milan in the league and scored 12 goals in 20 starts.

This efficiency can be considered as the next superstar in today's football.

Well, this statement is actually a bit problematic, because if Pato's body wasn't too glassy, ​​he might already be a superstar now.

Even though he was disliked by Allegri for a while because he followed Ronaldinho around Milan's major entertainment venues and started drinking during the first half of the league.

But after Ronaldinho left Milan, Allegri was still willing to give Pato as many opportunities as possible.

Now, as long as Pato can play, my uncle will try his best to let him and Ibrahimovic start as a starting partner.

This shows how good Pato's talent is.

In this game, Allegri put almost all the offensive burden on Pato.

Pirlo passed the ball to him, and Ibrahimovic helped him act as a fulcrum to attract the opponent's defensive firepower.

The only thing Pato has to do is rush!

Mazzarri didn't expect Allegri to be so bold.

When he arranged defensive tactics before the game, he was just like the head coaches of other Serie A teams.

Focus on Ibrahimovic first, and then consider Pato or Milan's midfielder to intervene.

But Allegri played a different trick with him today.

Ibrahimovic is no longer the main attacker, but two of Naples' three central defenders went to mark Ibrahimovic.

The remaining veteran, Aronika, is not a speed type either.

So it was only the 13th minute of the first half, and Milan had just counterattacked with the first long pass, allowing Pato to successfully rush into the Naples penalty area!

Aronika was very embarrassed and chased back into the penalty area.

He knew that his speed was definitely no match for Pato, so he thought of taking a shortcut to block Pato's inward route.

Unexpectedly, Pato, who had just rushed to the right edge of the Naples penalty area, decisively chose to cross!

Ibrahimovic is still struggling with Naples' other two central defenders Campalonia and Cannavaro, so he is definitely not Pato's passing target.

Aronika looked at the back of the goal in horror, but now it was too late for him to speak out and remind goalkeeper DeSanctis!

Because the two red and black figures entered Naples' penalty area almost at the same time, chasing after them were Naples midfielders Maggio and Gargano who were thrown away by about half a meter!

In front of these two Milan players, there was only the oncoming football and a small half empty goal!

"Pato's unloading was very beautiful! Aronica couldn't keep up with his attack. Naples' defense had a big problem. Pato passed the ball! The back of Naples' goal was empty!!!"

When the Sky Sports commentator roared passionately, countless Serie A fans stared at the back of Naples' goal with their eyes wide open.

"superior!"

In the midst of the flash of lightning, Boateng estimated that he was too far forward, so he yelled.

Li Ang, who was further outside the penalty area than him, immediately understood what he meant.

The two midfield partners who tacitly chose to go forward ten seconds ago also maintained their tacit cooperation.

One stopped and moved out of the way, while the other used the power of the last step to jump into the air!

Mr. Crudelli was so excited that he roared first in the live broadcast room.

The next second, after a close contact with Li Ang's forehead, the football changed direction and quickly spun into the Naples goal!

But De Sanctis's save came too late!

The football finally hit the net, causing white net flowers to sway without any suspense.

The hearts of all Naples fans feel as if they are falling into an ice cave at this moment!

"GOAL——!!!!!!!!!!!! We scored! We scored first!!! Le Ang! Le Ang!!! Our little lion broke through Naples' gate first! Milan scored 1-0 Lead!”

When Mr. Crudelli took off his glasses and shouted passionately in celebration, the more than 60,000 Milan fans at the San Siro also jumped, screamed and cheered almost crazily!

Li Ang, who fell onto the turf after landing, no longer cared about his image.

He rushed to the live camera and roared and slapped his chest in celebration!

And Milan's players on the field almost swarmed him and drowned him at the bottom line!

In the boiling San Siro Stadium, Allegri and the assistant coach first embraced passionately, and then clenched their fists and punched the air in front of them!

Once, twice, three times!

After Uncle Ji punched him three times, he felt comfortable and stopped.

At the same time, he glanced sideways at the Naples bench, which was now dead silent.

"I heard that you dance the most happily?"

"It doesn't matter, just give it a beating and you won't be able to dance anymore!"
