Mister Legend

Chapter 214 The Bull That Cannot Be Underestimated

The home team's starting lineup still contains a lot of main players. Compared with the Olympic battle three days ago, Montella made changes to five positions.On the defensive line, De Sciglio and the Paraguayan central defender Gustavo Lopez, who joined last summer, replaced Calabria and Romagnoli. Sa and Kuzka acted as a central midfielder combination with Bertolacci. On the front line, Lapadura dug from Pescara was used to replace Baca. The remaining six players are commonly used starters in the recent league.

Since the Italian Football Association stipulates that the suspension of the league and the cup (except for additional suspensions) are not interoperable, Romagnoli, who was sent off in the league with two yellows and one red, can actually play today, but he was the day before yesterday. Suddenly caught the flu, he has been absent from the team training for two consecutive days, and had to act as a spectator in today's and weekend's league matches. The Paraguayan central defender got a rare starting opportunity.

Jose Sousa and Rapadura spent 800 million and 900 million respectively on the Rossoneri last summer, but they failed to win more trust from the head coach in the first half of the season, and the number of appearances was not too many, but Their strength should not be underestimated.Kuzka's appearance is purely because there is no one available except him, Montolivo's injury has not healed, and Locatelli and Pasalic, who started in the last round of the league, failed to recover their physical fitness .

Finally, I would like to introduce the Italian international footballer De Sciglio. He joined the AC Milan youth training camp at the age of 10 and represented the youth team at the age of 15. He is an absolute red and black lineage. His right foot is the main foot but he can play two sides at the same time. , The idol is the eternal legend Paolo Maldini. In 2011, the then team coach Allegri made his senior team debut in the UEFA Champions League group match against Pilsen. Since then, he has become an important rotation of the Rossoneri and played in the 2012-13 season. Promoted to the main force of the team, he was also selected for the best team of Serie A of the year.However, injuries still slowed De Sciglio's pace of catching up with his idol. He suffered serious injuries for three consecutive years and gradually lost the opportunity to consolidate his position in the team.

This season, due to the recovery of the two veterans, Abate and Antonelli, and the sudden emergence of the teenager Calabria, Montella has more options when deploying troops, making De Sciglio's number of appearances This also led to increasing dissatisfaction in his heart.According to the information provided by the FM system, Li Mudi can clearly find that he already has the idea of ​​leaving the team, and his attitude is still very firm.Because his current contract will expire in the summer of 2018. If he does not renew his contract, he can discuss free transfers with other teams in the winter window next year.So AC Milan may have to sell it this summer, and the most interested in him is Juventus, and maybe De Sciglio will be able to reorganize the national team with Bonucci and Chiellini in the old woman soon the backline.

Montella's adjustment is the best choice considering the players' competitive and physical condition, which is not beyond the expectations of the outside world. After all, AC Milan can't guarantee the top five in the league, and the cup still has to go Hard work.What really shocked everyone was the starting list sent by the visiting team, Padelli, Silvestri, Moretti, Castan, Avilar, Fabas, Las Diarra, John Housett, Chelsea, Lucas Boyer and Lajajic, none of the eleven players who started last weekend were on the field at the start of today's game.

When they saw that the list included two new recruits who had been out of battle for a long time, everyone understood the mind of the Turin coach. He had given up the cup competition, and he concealed this intention very secretly. Few people guessed How could he be so limitless.You must know that the two teams are fighting to the death in the league for the place in the European war. The strength of the momentum is likely to be a key factor in determining the final outcome. Team morale plummeted?This courage is really a bit big.

Seeing that he could use an intercontinental missile to fight against the slingshot in the opponent's hand, Montella felt that he had been seriously humiliated in terms of IQ, and his anger rose all of a sudden, and he wanted to immediately order the players to do their best to attack the opponent's ball Instructions for kicking the net.However, the "little plane" with an emotional control ability of 17 has gradually found the rhythm leading to the famous coach in the past six years of coaching experience, and calmed himself down in time, knowing that at this time he must not be impulsive.Now that the opponent has given up the cup game to fight for the league, there will be no obstacles for the home team to advance today. The team's focus must also be shifted to the next league. It cannot be caused by today's momentary anger. There is another accident in the game. After all, Torino is still ahead of AC Milan in the standings. If you want to maintain the state of double-line insurance, you must not allow the points of both sides to be stretched.

So the home team coach made the latest arrangements for his players before the start of the game, asking them to do their best within the first 10 minutes of the game, trying to get two or more goals as soon as possible to seal the victory, and then In the following time, the main goal is to save physical energy, and use the ball to complete the game for a long time, so as to reserve enough energy for the match against Naples on the 22nd.But he didn't know that his tactical thinking was anticipated by Li Moody in advance, and he made a very targeted deployment, which made the process of the game far from being as clear-cut as people expected, but unexpectedly interesting.

After the referee blew the opening whistle, the home team, which got the kick-off right, launched a very aggressive attack. They did not make any attempts to press the opponent's 178 players back into the half court.Since the starting center Rapadura is only 15 cm tall and is not good at working at heights, AC Milan's offensive methods are almost all ground coordination. Jose Sousa's position is very forward, and he looks more like an attacking midfielder. , His imagination, vision, passing and receiving, and technical ability are all above [-] points, and he can indeed exert great power in this position.With his central deployment, the home team's pass control showed a very strong control, which made the Turin players a little exhausted, and it seemed that there might be loopholes at any time, and nearly [-] hopefuls flooded into the scene The fans of the home team, who saw the team's successful revenge, kept putting pressure on the away team with high-decibel cheers and cheers. Some reporters judged that the score might be rewritten soon.

However, although the defense line of the visiting team has been in a precarious situation, it can always miraculously regain its balance before it is about to collapse, making it impossible for the opponent to score goals.In the 6th minute, Bonaventura, who played as a left winger for the second consecutive game, was on the left side of the penalty area after receiving a direct pass from Jose Sousa, but his shot was severely blocked by Casta Interference, adjusted the angle and went wide of the far post. After 2 minutes, Rapadura hit the front of the penalty area and returned the ball. The Slovakian midfielder Kucka directly kicked and bombarded the goal 30 meters away from the goal. The ball went straight with a strong arc of the outer instep The goal went to the upper right corner, but it was a pity that it finally flew out of the baseline from less than ten centimeters away from the goalpost, which also made Padelli, who flew to save but failed to touch the ball, heaved a sigh of relief.

No. In the 13th minute, Jose Sosa, who retreated to the midfield circle to receive the team's pass, suddenly drove the ball straight into the frontcourt. A very imaginative through ball.At the moment when Rapadura, wearing the No. 9 jersey, was about to lead the ball into a one-handed situation, the veteran Moretti fell to the ground and gently touched the ball with the toe of his right foot, causing its trajectory to deviate slightly. , creating enough time for Casta and Silvestri to chase back, which prevented the home team from getting a golden opportunity to score. Four minutes later, AC Milan's tactical corner kick gave Bertolaci a long-range shot from the corner of the penalty area. Unfortunately, his shot did not have enough power, nor did it touch the players on both sides in front of the goal. Xiang, who was blocked by the steady Turin goalkeeper with both hands, was cleared by Avelar to the sideline.

Within the first 10 minutes of the game, the ratio of the ball possession rate of the two sides reached about 2:1, and the ratio of the number of shots to the number of shots on target was 6:1 and 2:0 respectively. The home team had a clear advantage. But it has been unable to complete the plan of the head coach to score early goals before the game.Considering that the player's impatience will have a great impact on the offensive end, Montella decided to temporarily give up the mad attack after thinking about it for a few minutes, use the method of reducing the rhythm to recover his physical fitness and mentality, and then look for opportunities to launch a wave of strong attacks.But no one could have guessed that the goal appeared in this calm period, and what is even more unbelievable is that it was the Red Bulls who took the lead in the away game.

In the 204th minute of No.15, AC Milan retreated about six or seven meters from the formation that was very forward before possession of the ball. .The starting players of the home team today are generally not slow, but the three strikers are all capable of [-], which is not a very good fast horse, so Li Moody is not too afraid of their direct pass, as long as the four defenders can concentrate If Lars can successfully interfere with Jose Sousa's pass, it is likely to make the opponent's behind the ball lose its power.So the Turin team took advantage of the opportunity to advance the overall formation a little bit, which can be regarded as taking over the position left by the opponent's retreat. turnaround.

No. In 206 minutes, the French defensive midfielder who represented the new club for the first time in an official game suddenly broke out at the level of the world's top midfielder. First, he snatched the ball from Jose Sousa's feet abruptly in a one-on-one duel , Then instead of passing to his teammates, he chose to take the ball and drive straight into the opponent's hinterland. When two defensive players came to double-team, he distributed the ball to the right.Cherci, who hadn't had any outstanding performance before, took out his famous skill before, using the change of rhythm and speed to complete a beautiful dribble and change direction, and got rid of the careless De Sciglio. A precise right foot delivered a cross that landed on the forward spot.

Boyer outflanked in place and leaped high to prepare for a powerful header, but under the interference of Gustavo Lopez, who had good defensive ability, he failed to fully exert his power and was saved by Donnarumma.The ball just rolled to Rajajic's feet on the left side of the penalty area. The Serbian volleyed the goal without stopping the ball. The Milan goalkeeper with a quick reaction made another world-class save and hit the ball with a single palm on the goal line.

But Goddess of Luck made a joke at this moment. The ball hit Lopez's calf and bounced back towards the goal. Xiao Tang, who was already on the ground, was unable to make any other moves and could only watch the ball pass from his arm. fly over. 0 to 1, the Red Bulls in the away game took the lead with this opponent's own goal.

After seeing this conceded goal, all the fans of the home team were stunned. Even the Milan coach Montella on the sidelines widened his eyes and thought he had seen a hallucination.It was a different scene in front of the visiting team's bench. Belotti and other team cores all jumped to the sidelines, hugged each other to celebrate the goal, and applauded the teammates on the field to show their praise. Too many Li Modi waved their fists in joy, sighing in their hearts that their luck is not so good!

The home team, who accidentally lost the ball, had no choice but to give up their previous plan, and had to press out again to attack aggressively, trying to score an equalizer as soon as possible.Although the physical consumption of the passive defensive side is much greater than that of the offensive side, there are many players on the Rossoneri team who just finished a fierce league game three days ago, and their stamina bar is not as good as that of the visiting team who played with all substitutes. Well, in this way, it seems that the gap between the two teams is not big in this respect.However, this is obviously more detrimental to the home team from a long-term perspective. If it cannot overtake the score in the shortest time, every minute of delay will reduce the chance of winning in the weekend league. Recently, in various competitions Naples, which has an unbeaten record of 1 wins and 7 draws, will not easily let go of a good opportunity to beat its competitors in the away game.

Although the strength is higher than the opponent's level, and the home game occupies a favorable location, but Montella's team finally scored a goal by Kucka within 10 minutes, which not only failed to reduce physical fitness The loss, and the extra half an hour of extra time is extremely helpless, which can be described as worse.And Li Moody failed to prove how wise the previous penalty kick training was, because Rapadura's goal in 1 minutes still helped the home team escape the crisis of a penalty shootout, otherwise with the current luck of the two sides From the point of view, AC Milan's hope of being able to advance is not as great as that of its opponents.

In the end, it was a pity that the Turin team bid farewell to this season's Coppa Italia in the first round of the race, but afterwards, both Montella and most of the media gave praise to Li Moody and his team, I don't think any team is qualified to underestimate this bull. They will be one of the most powerful contenders for the European qualification.
