Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 94 Nesta's Little Secret

After the game restarted.

AC Milan launched an attack on Roma. Although their attack was not fast, Pirlo's passes were very sudden and deceptive. Under his leadership, AC Milan's attack was still quite impressive.

However, AC Milan has a major problem: the lack of attacking firepower.

Since the beginning of this season, due to Pato's frequent injuries, Leonardo has generally used Ronaldinho and Borriello in the forward line.

Borriello has been performing quite well this season, scoring 9 goals in the league, but Ronaldinho's form is simply unbearable to watch.

Milan fans even dragged him out of a nightclub in the early hours of the morning to make him go to sleep, and his style of play is not suitable for playing as a pure striker.

This issue has been their biggest challenge this season since Kaká left.

In attack, their coordination and connection are fine, but they lack a player who can break through the opponent's defense with quick breakthroughs, which makes them lack explosive power when facing the defense.

Leonardo's tactics failed, but Pato was very active in this match, and his performance in several attacks posed a threat to Roma's defense.

AC Milan also had a certain advantage on the field, controlling the ball for more time and having a tighter connection between the back, midfield and front, but they did not create any particularly good scoring opportunities.

Roma's attack was also good, but De Rossi is not the kind of player who controls the tempo; he is more inclined to defend and make runs into the box for long-range shots. Pizarro's technique is good, but he is somewhat lacking in controlling the tempo.

The forward line is also a problem.

Tony was very proactive, but he's a striker type of player who needs support from his teammates to get opportunities.

Shan Yongzhuo, on the other hand, was heavily guarded.

Ever since AC Milan conceded that goal, their midfield and defense have been paying close attention to Shan Yongzhuo, and the players have consciously strengthened their defense against him.

"Don't let him receive the ball comfortably, block the passing lanes!"

These are the words shouted by Nesta, the defensive commander in the backfield.

Nesta naturally knew that it was impossible to prevent the opponent from receiving the ball for the entire game, but as long as he could prevent the opponent from receiving the ball comfortably, or even force him to pass the ball, he would have succeeded.

So far, AC Milan has done a good job. Shan Yongzhuo strolls around the penalty area, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, and there are always players following him.

Sometimes it's Ambrosini, sometimes it's Pirlo, and sometimes it's Nesta or even Bonera.

AC Milan's defense did indeed give Shan Yongzhuo a headache. He was being closely marked and found it difficult to receive the ball. Moreover, AC Milan's defense was quite layered, with Ambrosini, Nesta, Silva, and Pirlo all pressing him together, making it quite difficult to receive the ball.

Of course, it's impossible not to receive the ball.

In the 25th minute, Shan Yongzhuo received the ball again. This time, Ambrosini marked him very closely, making it unlikely that he would have the same opportunity to shoot directly as before.

However, Shan Yongzhuo immediately activated the Ghost Shadow Grappling Hand. The 2.5 times time difference allowed Shan Yongzhuo to successfully turn around and move to the left, dodging Ambrosini and creating space by one body length.

Then, take a shot!
With the power of the Golden Leg and the added bonus of the Golden Right Foot, the football soared in a huge arc, bypassing Silva who came to block it, and heading straight for the far right corner of the goal.

Abbiati stood in front of the goal, his view blocked. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. All he could do was reach out to his right and watch the ball fly into the goal, close to the post.

The ball went in!
Everyone in the stadium was stunned by that side-footed shot.

Ambrosini looked at the ball in the goal and shook his head helplessly. The opponent's movements were just too fast, almost like teleportation, and he couldn't keep up at all.

"Am I really getting old?" Since Maldini retired, Ambrosini became AC Milan's new captain this season, which made Ambrosini very happy for a while. He felt that he could still play for a few more years.

But now, Ambrosini feels that he may be too old to defend against this guy.

He was even a little envious of Gattuso's injury at this time. If Gattuso hadn't been injured, perhaps he wouldn't have had to face this terrible guy in this match.

For the first time in over a decade, Ambrosini, who had played for AC Milan, felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

"In just twenty-five minutes, Shan Yongzhuo has once again breached AC Milan's goal!" The commentator on Italian National Sports Channel could hardly believe it. "This goal was so beautiful. Ambrosini had a great position, but Shan Yongzhuo was too fast, and he couldn't keep up."

"A side-footed shot from 25 meters out, with such a wide arc, left goalkeeper Abbiati completely helpless."

"This goal is a significant blow to AC Milan!"

This goal was a significant blow to AC Milan, and their players were greatly affected.

The players couldn't help but compare themselves to Shan Yongzhuo.

For example, Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho, once the world's number one player, has declined in form, but when he compared himself to Shan Yongzhuo at his peak, he found that they were simply incomparable.

My technical skills are definitely superior to the opponent's, but there is a significant difference in shooting technique. The opponent's dribbling is also very direct, without any fancy moves, and he simply outmaneuvers Ambrosini.

Although Ambrosini is not young, Ronaldinho is well aware that even at his peak, he might not be able to do so easily against the current Ambrosini.

Pato also made comparisons, but his method was a little different.

Pato is AC Milan's rising star and last year's European Golden Boy, but now he finds himself nothing compared to Shan Yongzhuo.

"This gap... he's at least three realms ahead of me, maybe he's already at the Core Formation stage?"

Pato felt a sense of powerlessness.

At first, he thought the other party might be at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the difference between them should only be two stages, but now he felt it was not that simple.

With three different levels of skill, Pato felt it wouldn't be so easy to catch up with his opponent...

However, the AC Milan defenders had a different perspective.

Nesta felt somewhat fortunate. In this match, he took the initiative to face Toni, leaving the defense on the side of Shan Yongzhuo to Silva and Ambrosini. Now he felt that his decision was absolutely correct.

In the last match against Roma, Nesta was tasked with defending against Shan Yongzhuo.

Then, that match left Nesta feeling utterly powerless.

This game was much better.

Dealing with Tony is much easier than dealing with that guy!
"I'm old now, it's already good enough that I can stop Luka."

"Massimo is the captain, he should take responsibility, and Thiago is the future of Milan's defense, he should gain more experience in the face of top strikers."

"As for me, as long as I can contain Lucatoni in this game, no one will criticize my defense."
