Chapter 548 He's Too Dangerous! [The fourth update of the explosive liver, please subscribe to the monthly pass]

The role of the core star is often reflected in the moment the opportunity arises.

For example, Yang Yang's opening goal, or Kaka, the maker of Pirlo's free kick, took the ball.

But in most of the other time, there is really not much that core stars can do.

Yang Yang very much hopes that he can smash the opponent's goal by himself like an NBA star.

But unfortunately, that was basketball, but he is playing football now, and it is the highest level of football.

……

Both teams clearly felt that there was no need to adjust the situation in the first half.

Liverpool had the advantage, AC Milan defended well, and neither side was willing to make changes easily.

No one knows what the situation will look like after actively seeking change.

The hot weather and different tactics forced Liverpool to consume more than AC Milan.

And the obvious point is that in the second half, AC Milan began to try to counterattack.

First, Kaka formed an offside, and then Kaka's long-distance attack in the middle was destroyed by Mascherano's accurate and decisive tackle. The Argentine midfielder has completely conquered everyone in Liverpool since March, and in just a few games.

Liverpool has never been able to find a way to effectively break AC Milan's goal.

Yang Yang was closely guarded by Otto and Gattuso in the frontcourt. Ancelotti even seemed to have the feeling that he would not hesitate to use two players to lock Yang Yang. In the first half, Dirk, Pennant, and even Gerrard frequently missed good opportunities, which made AC Milan feel that this tactic was very cost-effective.

Liverpool adopted high pressing tactics and Inzaghi was offside for the third time.

The man described by Ferguson as surviving on the offside line, apart from the lucky refraction goal today, his biggest performance was several offsides, but Liverpool did a good job of anti-offside.

The situation is changing bit by bit.

The average age of AC Milan players is older, but Liverpool's tactical play consumes more.

This makes the two sides seem to have reached a certain balance again.

The situation on the court has also become somewhat stalemate.

Benitez finally made a substitution adjustment at No.603 minutes.

…………

…………

In front of the visiting coach's bench, Ancelotti saw Liverpool's first substitution.

NO.15 Crouch replaced NO.16 Pennant.

"He finally couldn't help it anymore." Ancelotti smiled, walked back immediately, looked at the bench, and signaled that Karadze was ready to play. Jankulovski already had a yellow card, and it was time to replace him.

As Benitez expected, Ancelotti had prepared a plan to deal with Crouch early on.

Jankulovski started to win some offensive opportunities, but what he didn't expect was that Liverpool's advantage in the first half would be so obvious, and scored after the opening, which was quite unfavorable to AC Milan.

Fortunately, Pirlo's free kick was lucky, and the ball hit Inzaghi's body and broke the goal.

Now, the two sides have finally returned to the same starting line. Ancelotti is convinced that if this stalemate continues, the game will only become more and more beneficial to AC Milan, because Liverpool's style of play will only become more and more unfavorable in this hot weather.

"Write a note for Kaladze to take up and tell Maldini to ask Seedorf to come back and hand over the frontcourt to Kaka. He must pay attention to assisting in protecting our left wing, and we can't let Liverpool cross anymore."

When there was no Crouch, Ancelotti's own two central defenders were full of confidence in their control, but now that Crouch is on, it is impossible for any team to defend a player over two meters tall and allow the opponent to pass at will.

"In addition, tell Maldini to pay more attention to returning to the defense, and the first priority is to stabilize the defense first."

Tassotti nodded, and immediately wrote Ancelotti's words in a simple and clear note, and handed it to Karadze.

It's a regular occurrence on the pitch, a way for the manager to pass on a message to the players on the pitch.

Many of the contents on the note are the tacit understanding that they have had on weekdays, so they can be written very simply and can be understood at a glance.

"Their midfield is so good!" Ancelotti shook his head and sighed.

Xavi Alonso and Mascherano form a double defensive midfielder, which is simply a barrier in front of Liverpool's defense. Coupled with Gerrard, Liverpool's entire midfield can be described as impenetrable, and even suppressed AC Milan's midfield tonight.

Kaka and Seedorf did not perform at all, and Liverpool's midfield strength can be seen.

"The most important thing is that we were restrained by Yang Yang." Tassotti explained.

Ancelotti nodded frequently, and Yang Yang asked AC Milan to use two players to guard him. It is no wonder that the midfielder is not at a disadvantage.

Not to mention that Yang Yang scored a goal at the beginning of the game, even if he didn't score, he alone restrained two defensive players, and Liverpool had enough money.

Without Yang Yang and Gattuso freeing up his hand again, Liverpool's midfield advantage would not be so obvious.

But even now, even though the game has been going on for nearly 65 minutes, Ancelotti still dare not relax his vigilance against Yang Yang, because he is too dangerous!

"One more thing, tell Gattuso and Odo, pay attention to cutting off the connection between Crouch and Yang Yang, you must pay attention!"

A look of worry flashed across Ancelotti's eyes, he was still not at ease with Yang Yang.

If you want to say that the most threatening player in the Liverpool team, it goes without saying that it must be Yang Yang.

It can even be said that the more stalemate the game looks, the more dangerous Yang Yang is.

Players like Yang Yang and Kaka no longer need to prove anything with goals or assists. Their presence on the court itself is the most threatening thing.

Just like Kaka, there is only one long-range shot in the audience so far, but almost all of AC Milan's threatening attacks come from him.

As long as you give him the ball, as long as you give him a chance, he can shine.

Why not Liverpool?

If Dirk, Pennant and Gerrard had been better at seizing opportunities, Liverpool would have led at least [-]-[-] in the first half. Yang Yang sent them several wonderful passes and planned several attacks, but they just failed to score.

"Don't worry, he seems to be exhausted, and he feels like he can't hold on anymore." Tassotti said looking at Yang Yang on the field.

After the second half, although Yang Yang still ran more aggressively, it seemed that the consumption was not small, not as flashy as in the first half.

"In the final analysis, he is only 20 years old. In such an important final, the pressure is so great and the consumption is so staggering. I guess he can't bear it." Tassotti guessed.

Ancelotti shook his head, "Don't be careless, don't forget, this is his second Champions League final, and last season's finale kicked the world wave."

Regarding Yang Yang, Ancelotti knows better than anyone else.

The more critical the moment, the more threatening he can be, the more terrifying!
And after being reminded by Ancelotti, Tassotti didn't dare to be careless immediately.

…………

…………

AC Milan quickly made the first substitution adjustment.

Crouch played less than 1 minute, Ancelotti replaced Jankulovski with Karadze.

This made Benitez in front of the coach of the home team tense, because he knew that this was Ancelotti's plan to defend Crouch.

There is no hope for crosses from the wing!
……

Yang Yang was on the court, but he admired Benitez's judgment even more in his heart.

Because he found that everything really did not surprise the head coach.

Except for the lucky goal of AC Milan, everything is in Benitez's deduction.

My head coach is like a supercomputer!

Especially his usual cold, mechanical appearance without the slightest expression, it really makes people wonder if he is a robot.

……

If Liverpool's right flank was very active in the first half, and Pennant repeatedly created threats on the right flank, then, after Kaladze played, AC Milan completely blocked this loophole.

The game time passed minute by minute.

After making a substitution, neither side seems to have the idea of ​​making another substitution adjustment.

The time quickly entered seven 10 minutes.

After Karadze came on the field, Liverpool's wide crosses were restricted, and it was difficult for the team to play the kind of offensive in the first half.

But AC Milan's situation is not much better, and it is also difficult to play a threatening offense.

……

Yang Yang looked up at the scoreboard, and it was already 75 minutes.

He can clearly feel that the Liverpool players have gradually begun to show signs of fatigue.

The temperature in Athens is too hot, which is quite unfavorable for this kind of siege team, and the consumption is very huge.

Once the team can't run and can't establish a lead, the final result will be difficult to predict, and may even be bad.

After Liverpool's gradual run, AC Milan's counterattack began to create a threat.

Seedorf finally made his first shot of the game, a volley near the penalty spot, but was blocked by Xavi Alonso with his body. It failed to directly threaten the goal, but it was enough to alert the Liverpool players.

"I can't continue like this!" Yang Yang muttered to himself.

Must find a chance!
No chance?

Then forcefully create an opportunity!

Since this season, Yang Yang feels that not only his overall strength is constantly improving, but also his confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

At least, on the court, he no longer doubts whether he can do it, but is thinking about how to do it.

This is true even if there are five people in a row who repeat Messi!

These are obviously two different levels of state of mind, which should be regarded as his biggest gain and improvement this season.

Therefore, when he saw AC Milan hit the midfielder with a counterattack and was soon intercepted by Liverpool's double midfielders. When AC Milan launched a counterattack in the frontcourt, he realized the opportunity and immediately gestured towards Crouch.

The two cooperated for a season. With Yang Yang's gesture and his eyes, Crouch immediately understood what to do and nodded silently.

Liverpool's backcourt players are really pushed, and playing pass control has never been Liverpool's strong point.

AC Milan is obviously a little anxious this time, and wants to try to force the frontcourt.

Xabi Alonso made a quick pass back to the goalkeeper.

After Reina stopped the ball outside the penalty area, he looked up and looked ahead.

He saw Crouch!
