Chapter 159 Flat Formation

(The fourth update and the fifth update will be at 8:[-] tomorrow morning.)
Milan entered the second half with a score of 0:1, and the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Monaco. Ancelotti couldn't help but make personnel adjustments.

Costacurta had no choice but to leave the field. His slow three-beat movement in the first half was simply an undercover agent for Monaco. Ancelotti couldn't stand the series of mistakes, and Gattuso was about to be vomited by him.

Milan's full-backs were unable to form an effective back-up, which was equivalent to cutting off an arm. In the first half, Milan's offense was mostly launched from the center, while Monaco's defense was very targeted.

Can't bear it, must be replaced, the younger Junior will play, increase the mobility on the right side, and reduce Gattuso's defensive pressure.

Gattuso had already received a yellow card in the first half, and he couldn't concentrate on defense. Ribery continued to provoke and had to make adjustments.

On Monaco's side, there is no change in personnel. One substitution was used up in the first half, and the team is ahead, so it is safer to maintain the status quo.

The game continues.

The Milan players really set off an offensive frenzy.Shevchenko and Inzaghi ran actively, and Seedorf continued to connect in series, threatening Monaco's goal at the beginning.

The cries of Milan fans are getting louder and louder, they want to reverse, they want to reverse, the Champions League final, Milan must win, and they must win the sixth Champions League.Ancelotti seemed to be infected by the cries of the Milan fans.

Standing on the sidelines, pointing at the players, passionately, "Pirlo, go to the front and receive the pass. Don't give them a chance to counter-attack."

Smith, Cisse, and Zikos kept retreating, almost approaching the penalty area, and almost all the players were concentrated in the midfield.

Jiang Shan was not worried about the team's defense, and still watched the game calmly, rarely speaking.

The players of the two teams were concentrated more than ten meters in front of the Monaco penalty area. The formation was extremely flat. In the small space, there were nearly [-] players concentrated. No matter how good the skills of the players were, it was difficult to perform.

Looking down from the sky above the stadium, there is only Roma left in front of the small penalty area in Monaco, while Milan's backcourt is embarrassingly empty.Their defense line even mentioned near the midfield line.

Mourinho looked excitedly at Monaco's defensive lineup, "Oh my God, Jiangshan is indeed a genius. He squeezed the defensive space. The distance between the striker and the defender is less than 20 meters. The three lines are still stable, which is amazing."

"In such a space, it's too difficult to play. Milan doesn't have Ronaldo and can't break through Monaco's defense." Bosque looked at the situation on the field and complained in his heart, "Why didn't we win, alas... If we faced Milan, we would have killed them long ago."

Ferguson admired the tactics of both sides. Whether it was Jiangshan or Ancelotti's tactical arrangement, he was quite excited. "Sure enough, mainland football is more skillful. Jiangshan squeezed the defensive space and took the opportunity to counterattack the team that suits him. Milan's oppressive style of play can only be realized by the scheduling of Pirlo and Seedorf."

Guardiola licked the corner of his mouth, "Jiangshan certainly didn't expect that I was thinking of dealing with him, right? To deal with such a defensive formation, we must have a strong breakthrough point. In the future, my team will find a player with superb dribbling and shooting skills. It will definitely be in every position."

In the first ten minutes of the second half, Milan pressed and rubbed Monaco, but Monaco felt quite comfortable on the contrary.

Suddenly, Luo Teng slammed the ball and made a long pass, directly across the midfield and onto the side.Giuly and Ribery ran at the same time, Smith was in the middle, and he also ran vigorously.

Here we go again, Monaco's counterattack.In more than ten minutes, Monaco only had two or three decent counterattacks, but each of them made Milan very uncomfortable.

Maldini commanded the line of defense, "Retreat, retreat quickly. Take your position."

Ancelotti also jumped on the sidelines, "Hurry up, Pirlo, you also return to defense."

Pirlo dragged his pace, back to defense!He is not fast, does not return to defense, and he is a midfielder with awkward positioning.

Giuly's dribbling failed to break through Karadze, the ball was destroyed out of the sideline, Monaco's sideline kick.

Substitution, Ancelotti and Jiang Shan chose to substitute at the same time. In the 65th minute, both sides changed at the same time.

On Milan's side, the midfielder Costa was replaced. He has not been able to gain the full trust of his teammates.

Ambrosini came off the bench and got a chance to show himself. "Is it time to replace Drogba? Ambrosini is to deal with Drogba. He has good physical fitness and can definitely entangle Drogba."

Jiang Shan followed suit, but it was not Drogba, but the Italian Bernardi, who replaced Chikos, who was exhausted very quickly.Zikos has a running distance of more than 9 kilometers, and his physical fitness is a bit problematic.

Compared with Placiel, Bernardi is more energetic, and his tactical execution is stronger at this stage. Bernardi's appearance is to limit Seedorf's passing.

Pirlo and Seedorf, the two teamed up to break Monaco's frontcourt press and created a lot of threats. Almost all the threatening balls Shevchenko got were sent by them.

It is necessary to cut off the connection between the Milan midfielder and the forward line.

"Not Drogba?" Ancelotti cursed, "He is thinking of cutting off the connection between our midfielder and striker. This guy is too ruthless and merciless."

Ibarra smashes the ball into the midfield, Bernardi adapts to receive it, controls it for a while, feels the atmosphere, and then gives the ball to Ribery.

Franck Ribery stopped wasting time, made a breakthrough and surpassed others, Gattuso interfered by his side, the brother in front?Smith hadn't gone up yet, and his physical fitness was almost exhausted, and he couldn't carry it anymore.

Failed to create a threat, the ball was passed back to Bernardi, and then went to the wing, Giuly started, dribbled, and shot hastily.There is no structure, there is no support point in the frontcourt, and the pressure is not small.

During this period of time, Luo Teng could only defend in the midfield, with no room to play. His long pass scheduling could not be displayed, and half of it was useless.

Milan attacked, Shevchenko retreated, received a pass from Gattuso, accelerated, and broke through Evra.Evra is desperately catching up, but still can't stop the Ukrainian nuclear warhead.

Evra is still young, and it is impossible to contain offensive players all over the court.Nobody can.

Shevchenko saw the opportunity, knocked horizontally, and gave it to Ambrosini.Ambrosini did not stop the ball, facing Cisse, he chose to pick a pass.

Inzaghi happened to appear and shot suddenly, and Roma instinctively pounced.

Huh!Fortunately, he even hit it, and Inzaghi's shot was saved by Roma.

Someone else, the player in the white jersey, Andriy Shevchenko.

The toe pokes and shoots, and the supplementary shot breaks the net.

Monaco's defense held firm for seven and 10 minutes before finally breaking through, losing to consecutive shots from Inzaghi and Shevchenko.

Jiangshan's expression was calm, and he was not upset after losing the ball.

The player unconsciously looked at Jiangshan, and found that everything was still under Jiangshan's control, and his flustered mentality calmed down again.

Shevchenko ran wildly and rushed to cheer in front of the Milan fans. The players behind followed him and pinned him down.

There is still hope, as long as Milan score goals, they can continue to score goals, and there is still hope of winning.Even Juventus have been eliminated by them, who else can threaten their summit plan?
The ball was re-kicked off, and Jiang Shan made a substitution immediately.last-ditch.
