Chapter 594 Breaking Defenses ([-])

The two teams showed their respective styles after the opening. The young and vigorous Tottenham shifted their center of gravity forward, focusing on offense, with both wings flying together and penetrating in the middle.Tottenham want to use their fast offense to gain an early advantage and lay a solid foundation for the second round of promotion.

And AC Milan hoarded troops in the midfield, using crowd tactics, fierce pressing, coupled with their incomparable tacit cooperation, they swept each other to make up for each other, and kept Bell and Murphy on the side with little space. And the corner of the court forced Modric to surround him near the center circle.

This is the key to Allegri's pre-match tactical arrangements. Keeping Modric away from the penalty area can minimize Modric's precise "last pass". Also dropped several notches.And forcing Mo Fei and Bell to the corner also protected his restricted area from interference to the greatest extent.

At the beginning of the game, AC Milan had not yet entered the game state, and Tottenham launched a fierce attack with the advantage of the home court, trying to catch the opponent by surprise.And this rush attack did give Tottenham a little advantage.

In the 3rd minute, Modric scored the ball in the middle. After AC Milan cut in from the left and broke through Yepes, he shot the upper right corner of the goal and the football passed by. Three minutes later, Bell made a two-for-one cooperation with his teammates on the wing. After throwing away Zambrotta, he cut in and crossed. Van der Vaart forcibly turned around and volleyed from the left side of the penalty area. The football bounced off Nesta's body. Thiago, who followed immediately, made a big foot clearance.

But after these two shots, AC Milan began to enter the state. This group of "old demon" Milan players are all human beings. They know that it is difficult to compete with Tottenham in terms of physical fitness and impact. With rich experience and tacit cooperation, they slowly turned their feet in the midfield. No matter how Tottenham tempted them, they would cooperate back and forth in a leisurely manner. If they had the opportunity, they would pass to the forwards and let the two forwards fight alone. , No chance to kill time patiently.They have fully implemented Allegri's tactical thinking. The away game is to keep a tie and win, anyway, they can't lose.

AC Milan's passive style of "not thinking about making progress" made the Tottenham players on the field depressed for a while, but there was nothing they could do about them.They have tried to rush with speed, but under Allegri's training, AC Milan's defense is very layered and targeted. In addition, it is a major game like the semi-finals. The Milan players are extremely focused and even more so. The important thing is that they piled up a large number of defensive players in the midfield, and the number of people squeezed a lot of space, which made Tottenham's passing a lot more difficult, and the offense often ended without a problem.

Faced with this situation, could it be a headache.To be honest, when I first saw the four "living fossil" defenders lined up on the AC Milan's back line, I couldn't help snickering. The combined age of these "old men" is over 100 years old. He can be his grandfather now. In his opinion, as long as Tottenham maintains a strong impact, the line of defense will be destroyed before halftime...

But now it seems that it is not the same thing at all.These "old demons" performed rock-solid in the back line, and the four players in the midfield were also good defensive players. They were like an indestructible iron gate, firmly suppressing Tottenham. Don't let them have the opportunity to launch a collective impact.

Although Mo Fei, Bell and others have strong breakthrough abilities, they often break through one person, and soon another Milan player will come up to destroy them.Their positioning is still very clever, and it is very difficult for Tottenham to play smoothly.Even if Mo Fei and others broke through the encirclement and found a gap to pass the ball, the other teammates who followed up were also overwhelmed by Milan's defense because they were outnumbered.

It's not that he hasn't tried to make consecutive breakthroughs on the side and then cut in, but Milan obviously did enough homework before the game. As long as Mo Fei makes a breakthrough on the side, at least two players will come to block. In such a narrow space, Mo Fei's speed advantage cannot be brought into play, and it is very difficult to easily break out of the encirclement.Often under the pressure of the opponent, he can only pass the ball with his feet.The result is obvious, the football was once again cleared by the Milan defenders, and it was another useless effort.

Under AC Milan's highly targeted "entanglement and suppression", Tottenham's offense gradually became stagnant. If their performance after the opening seemed like a fish in water, then after a few minutes, the water turned into paste, paste The stickiness of the paste made Tottenham's players sluggish, their passing speed slowed down, and even turnovers began to increase.

Fortunately, Milan is only able to defend well. Under Redknapp's deliberate targeting, neither Ibrahimovic nor Pato can play much without the shell delivery of their teammates. , wandering outside the court like a lonely ghost. AC Milan's offense is not to be feared at all.

The game gradually became dull. Tottenham had a lot of time to control the ball, but most of them controlled the ball outside AC Milan's defensive area, and could not pose too much substantial threat to AC Milan's gate.Apart from defending, AC Milan did not make any achievements in offense. After several steals, the counterattack was stillborn because of Tottenham's fierce fouls and steals.Milan couldn't do anything, and gave up the idea of ​​​​counterattack, An Anxin focused on defense.

The calm confrontation between the two teams on the field made the fans in the stands drowsy, but there were also boos from time to time. This was given to the AC Milan players on the field by the fans of the home team. It is really embarrassing for the traditional tycoons who shocked Europe to use this kind of "passive" defensive tactics to deal with the game.

However, the Milan Stadium on the field didn't care about it. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, they just wanted to use this method to kill Tottenham's spirit, and then when the opponent's spirit was slack, they looked for opportunities to kill them.They are also very helpless, as they get older, they can only sharpen slowly with blunt knives...

"...Allegri seems to have found a way to deal with Tottenham, that is to defend. Although many teams have adopted iron barrels to deal with Tottenham, the result is still slaughtered. But Allegri's team obviously He has more experience in defense, pays more attention to details, and has almost no mistakes. Although these old players are getting older, they have done a good job in defense. Although Tottenham's offense is strong, they can't do anything to AC Milan's defense... Before the game, the head coaches of the two sides said that it would be a fierce and difficult game, but now it seems that the difficulty is there, but the intensity is gone, and it can even be said to be extremely boring..." Some commentators were weak in the commentary Said.

Landers, the home commentator, disagreed with his peers. He said sarcastically: "In fact, Tottenham have been actively seeking opportunities to score goals. They have been trying to use offense to break through the opponent's defense. But very It's a pity that Milan's tortoise shell is too hard, their defensive skills are the same as their age, it's too long..."

The 0:0 score on the field is actually very unfavorable to Tottenham. With such a score until the end of the game, the initiative to advance to the final can be said to have completely fallen into the hands of AC Milan.Although they didn't lose the game, and they didn't give the opponent away goals, but in the two-round competition system, as long as AC Milan returned to the home court and scored one goal, and then used such a defensive tactic to deal with them, they would only be miserable. The fate of elimination.

Tottenham players and fans know what the Italians are thinking. If they don't want to hand over the fate of promotion to the opponent, then they must increase their offensive efforts and score goals.

In the bursts of cheering and cheering from the home team fans in the stands, Tottenham continued to charge towards Milan's defense.Tottenham's sudden effort made the old Milan's defense in a hurry. However, their on-the-spot experience was indeed rich, and they were confused for a while.

After 10 minutes, the situation of the game became more and more rigid, and no one was able to break the deadlock. Tottenham still had the advantage, but in front of Milan's defense line, they could only return without success again and again.

Allegri's expression became more and more relaxed, and the game was completely under his expectation and control. Although his AC Milan only has the strength of passive defense on the scene, he believes that the young Tottenham will definitely be unable to attack for a long time. Get angry, then make mistakes.As long as the opponent makes a mistake, the sophisticated AC Milan may seize the opportunity and make a fatal blow.

"Mo! Mo! Mo! Goal Goal Goal Goal!"

At this time, the fans in the stands couldn't help but think of Mo Fei. Mo Fei is the top scorer in the league and also the top scorer in the Champions League. He can often stand up when the team is in stalemate.And now it is such a difficult situation, the fans are pinning their hopes of scoring goals on Mo Fei.

After all, Mo Fei has experienced the baptism of the Bundesliga double crown honor. Although he is young, he has rich experience and game experience. Faced with this deadlock, Mo Fei does not want to take risks. He knows exactly what the opponent is planning. Just wear their patience and wait for them to make mistakes.In Mo Fei's opinion, the best way is to press the opponent with continuous attack, and then deal with the opponent patiently. He does not believe that the opponent will not make a single mistake throughout the game.What's more, although Milan's "old monsters" are very stable now, they are old after all. In this high-pressure game rhythm, it is impossible for them to play at a high level for 10 minutes.As long as their spirits are slightly relaxed due to fatigue, then Tottenham's opportunity will come.

This is the semi-final of the Champions League, not a friendly match. The importance is self-evident. If possible, it is possible that he does not want to take risks. He must act cautiously and use the safest way to deal with it.

But the current situation has forced Mo Fei to attack, because his teammates keep passing the ball to him, and the fans in the stands are constantly shouting his name.If he doesn't launch an attack, his teammates will inevitably pounce on him even more frantically.If the goal cannot be scored under the onslaught, then Tottenham's morale and fighting spirit will be greatly hit, which will give Milan, who has been waiting for Tottenham to make a mistake, a chance.

"Attack! Increase your attack!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Mo Fei waved to his teammates.He made up his mind that he must use offense to score goals as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the worse it will be for Tottenham.

After receiving a pass from his teammates, Mo Fei went straight forward with the ball, and Huddlestone and Modric also stepped forward to respond, but Modric was more forward, like a midfielder, while Huddlestone lagged behind, Make up for Mo Fei at any time, and respond to Mo Fei's return pass.If Mofei forms a breakthrough, then he can also cruise to the middle to grab points.

AC Milan set up a lot of barriers in the midfield, a very important point is to prevent Mo Fei from going forward and cutting inside.Before Yepes, it was Van Bommel, whose task was to block Murphy's advance.And not far away, there is Gattuso, a full-time midfielder, watching.These three people built a small "cage" near the midfield, the purpose is to contain Mo Fei's breakthrough.
