Chapter 008 Champions League debut 3(1/2)
When the players on both sides appeared, Zhang Yang was once again "preferred" by Milan fans.
In the past two days, the Italian media has described his arrogance and arrogance vividly. The words of exaggerating his original intention to pay tribute to Maldini were also described by the media as disrespectful to Milan team. In short, the media should describe this young man as the most unpopular one in Milan.
Obviously, they succeeded.
At least before the end of this game, Zhang Yang will receive great "customedness".
Zhang Yang stood in the middle circle, waiting for the whistle to start the game.
He looked at the stadium stands, a sea of red and black, and even as an opponent, even if Milan fans were booing him, he had to admit that the stadium was spectacular.
But, my buddy is not here to make a pilgrimage today!
The law enforcement referee for this game arranged by UEFA is German referee Merkel. With Merkel's whistle, the first day of the UEFA Champions League H group in the 2006/2007 season, the match between AC Milan vs. Marseille began.
※※※※※※※※※※
After the game started, the home team AC Milan naturally launched a tide of attacks against the Marseille goal with the help of the right time, place, and people. The fans of AC Milan were very proud of this. They were a wealthy family, and what they wanted was this kind of mercury attack. They gritted their teeth and just waited to see the beautiful Marseille team, especially the Chinese young man named Zhang Yang, who dared to speak out loud. In a while, the big stars of AC Milan will let the Marseille know how the word "death" is written!
"There is a big highlight of this game, that is, Zhang Yang's performance. During the summer transfer, AC Milan once had an interest in this young man, but later they gave up the acquisition. Ancelotti believes that the strength of the Chinese scorer has not met AC Milan's requirements."
"In addition, the battle of words before this game will also ignite all the atmosphere before the game. Therefore, in this game, Zhang Yang's performance against AC Milan is worth paying attention to!"
"Philip-Inzaghi--It's a pity! It's so high!"
Inzagi stood in front of the door, holding his head in his hands, unable to hide his regret. Behind him, there was a shocked turn of his head to look at the Marseille goalkeeper Carraso, who was looking at the ball above the crossbar.
※※※※※※※※※※
As soon as the game started, AC Milan got a good opportunity to score. AC Milan's midfielder Gattuso completed the steal and then passed the ball to launch a counterattack. Before the game, AC Milan's midfielder Pirlo, who was emphasized by Fernandez to focus on guard, suddenly passed a beautiful diagonal pass. The football came from Beyer, who had just assisted and had not yet returned to defend.
After receiving the ball, Brazilian right-back Kafu, who was inserted, dribbled the ball and pushed it for a while, and made a cross from the edge of the penalty area.
Inzagi, who was almost parallel to the back line, suddenly started to accelerate, and rushed to the back line of the Marseille team like a spirit cat. He rushed to the back line of the Marseille team, and directly shot with a volley...
When Marseille fans saw Super Pipo appearing behind the Marseille defense line like a ghost, their hearts were in their throats. If this ball was scored by AC Milan, Marseille would be extremely passive.
Fortunately, Inzaji's shot was so stupid that he rubbed the crossbar and was slightly higher...
Seeing Inzagi's shot high, Fernandez on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief. It was so dangerous. It was really shocking just now that he was sweating in a cold sweat!
Then he was very dissatisfied with the team's defense this time. He stood up from his seat and rushed to the sidelines to roar at the stadium: "Be careful behind you! Pay attention to protection! Don't have another time!"
※※※※※※※※※※
Although the ball did not score, it still triggered a small high in the stands of San Siro Stadium. The AC Milan fan Ainzagi, Inzagi's style is crazy rather than a pie-loss type. The opportunity of the European first opportunistic striker comes from the crazy running of the game, and his madness comes from his desire for goals. He makes up for certain technical and physical defects with his spiritual strength. His desire for goals and victory makes it impossible for him to miss any possible chance of scoring, nor will he miss any way to get the ball in.
Baresi said of Inzaghi, “He is the person who is most worried about the defender because of his scruples.
Yes, it's just that there is nothing to worry about. Inzaghi was crazy at that moment. He could use any part of his body to get the ball into the goal, except for his hands - of course, his hands can do it, as long as it is not discovered by the referee media.
Zhang Yang looked at Inzaji with a look of regret in amazement. He grasped the timing of Inzaji's start just now, and the passing and receiving the ball were almost instantly performed at the same time. However, when he shot, his luck was a little worse.
※※※※※※※※※※
The camera gave the Marseille head coach on the sidelines and Fernandez wanted to see what expression this gentleman would have on his face in the face of the giant AC Milan's crazy attack.
"Look at it, this is the strength of the wealthy!" Some Milan reporters were proudly thinking in the press room at San Siro Stadium. However, they were disappointed, but the head coach of the Marseille team was not at all uneasy and seemed very calm.
This made these reporters feel a little bored.
Fernandez sat in the coaching seat. He was prepared for AC Milan to attack from the beginning. AC Milan is powerful and this is their home court again. Of course, they have to push out the attack.
In addition, to be honest, Fernandez was afraid that AC Milan would not attack, so they only took the initiative to attack, and there would be loopholes in the back line gathering, so Marseille's defensive counterattack would be even better.
Of course, this prerequisite is that Marseille can defend the goal as much as possible and not lose the ball too quickly.
※※※※※※※※※※
In this game, Fernandez's calculations were very good, and he was very clear-headed. But he never thought about playing against AC Milan. He thought very clearly, that is, if the AC Milan attacks, there will definitely be loopholes in the defense line. Now, it depends on whether his players can catch it when the loophole comes out.
He believed in the feeling of Zhang Yang in front of the door.
I believe that Zhang Yang will surprise AC Milan people at a critical moment.
Fernandez understands Zhang Yang's temper. When this kid is angry, he will often become even more crazy and will make everyone unexpected!
This is also the confidence of Fernandez in this game!
Zhang Yang has not scored a goal since the start of the new season. This kid must be full of energy now and wants to score a goal.
In fact, Fernandez was even maliciously grateful that Ancelotti looked down on Zhang Yang at the beginning, which was also a great motivation for Zhang Yang to play today. Fernandez knew about Zhang Yang, and this was a proud boy. Now that he had this opportunity, he still didn't try his best to compete and prove himself.
※※※※※※※※※※
An offensive opportunity for AC Milan.
Kaka received a pass from Seedorf and planned to drive the ball, but this time he encountered a very tricky opponent. Marseille's young midfielder Mavuba surprised AC Milan fans.
Seeing Kaka take the ball, Mawuba leaned forward while he took the ball. In this way, Kaka couldn't accelerate as soon as possible. Kaka didn't seem to believe that this young defender could defend himself. He continued to break through. Mawuba made a quick decision and fell to the ground to shovel the ball out of the sideline.
Seeing that the team's offense was disintegrated, Ancelotti stood up, and he looked at the situation on the court and was thinking.
He had already seen Marseille's tactics. There was nothing new about it, it was just a counter-robbery on the frontcourt. If the forwards failed to counter-robbery, they would not just wait for their teammates to break the ball and pass it to them. Instead, they turned around and ran back immediately and continued to participate in the defense. In addition to the counter-robbery on the frontcourt, the most intense pressing was the midfield. They wanted to compress AC Milan's offensive space in the midfield!
The young man named Mawuba also attracted Ancelotti's attention. The boy ran almost without hesitation. From one end to the other, he could be seen almost every corner of the midfield. In a word, all the dirty and tiring tasks on the field were "rushing to do"!
This young man has the nickname of "Little Maclale". Not to mention whether he can reach Maclalele's height in the future, but this diligence is indeed commendable.
"The whole game is pressing tight?!" Ancelotti said with a frown and pondered. The Marseille tactics are quite good in the past few minutes. However, Ancelotti was not worried, and he did not make adjustments. On the one hand, the game has just begun and there is no need to adjust. In addition, Ancelotti firmly believes in a little bit. No matter what tactics the opponent uses, they only need to stick to their football rhythm and patiently deal with their opponents. Find an opportunity and hit it fatal, and the game will be won.
This is the confidence of the wealthy family. No matter what the opponent is, as long as they perform normally, winning is a natural thing.
※※※※※※※※※※
Marseille's defense was done well, but this was the result of sacrificing the offense.
Zhang Yang is not the kind of player who can decide the outcome of the game by one person. In his goals, he rarely sees a single-stop shooting and scoring. His biggest advantage lies in his ability to grab points, which requires teammates to be able to transmit shells.
Now that the whole team has shrunk their defense, Zhang Yang naturally has no good chance.
Zhang Yang's speed is very fast and is a powerful weapon for a team to defend and counterattack, but this also requires a good counterattack opportunity. At least it seems that there is no good opportunity yet.
"Zhang Yang said he wanted to score a goal before the game. This is a very confident guy." The commentator of Milan Channel also sarcastically said at this time, "But he said that after the start, he completed several shots? Just one shot! Well, it was still a long shot. This unthreatening long shot reflects the value. He told us that Zhang Yang is still on the court."
Many Milan fans laughed because they had no love for Zhang Yang, the young boy, because of the hype these days.
The camera gave Ancelotti to see the expression on the Milan head coach's face.
Ancelotti has been more determined from these ten minutes of the game, and this Chinese guy is not good enough and is far from meeting and meeting AC Milan's requirements. Galliani and Braida have misunderstood this time, but fortunately he did not agree to introduce this kid.
Ancelotti seemed to have chosen to forget that he may have the least say in AC Milan's team when it comes to player transfers. Milan did not buy Zhang Yang in the end. The most fundamental reason is that the club owner Berlusconi looked down on Zhang Yang. What Berlusconi wanted was a famous superstar. He liked super players like Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, not a naughty young man.
※※※※※※※※※※
Pirlo was driving the ball, and Marseille's defense was pretty good. Although AC Milan's offense seemed very fierce, there was no other good chance of a truly threatening shot except Inzagi's almost single shot.
Under such circumstances, Pirlo, who is the core of AC Milan's offensive attack, must find a way.
The offensive hub of a team must be a player who can play with his brain. Obviously, Pirlo is the best among them. In the just-passed World Cup in Germany, some people say that the biggest contributor to the Italian team's final victory in Hercules Cup was not Buffon or Cannavaro, but Pirlo. It was Pirlo's orderly dispatch in the midfield and his exquisite passes that helped Italy bring goals and victory.
Pirlo saw that there seemed to be a loophole in the middle of Marseille's midfield and defense line. Although the loophole was not obvious, it was enough for Pirlo that it could be exploited there...
Thinking of this, Pirlo took the opportunity to readjust the football under his feet and winked at him looking back at him.
There is a tacit understanding between the two old partners, and just one look is enough.
Seedorf understood and interspersed forward.
This immediately attracted the attention of the Marseille defense line. They focused on Seedorf, and at the same time, the unobvious loophole appeared on the other side of the defense line.
Almost at the same time, the football flew out from Pirlo's feet and rolled quickly towards the target. The target of the passing ball was not Seedorf, but on the other side, Kaka suddenly activated it to catch the ball.
Marseille defender Thorin was the first to react. He rushed up to fill the position and fell to the ground to slide the ball out of the sideline, but he was left empty.
Kakara's ball turned around, he accelerated quickly, a change of direction passed and disturbed Nasri, but just as he wanted to continue dribbling, he was pulled down.
※※※※※※※※※※
Mawuba made a quick decision and tactical foul to knock Kaka down. It can be said that Mawuba's choice was right. Kaka's breakthrough was very imposing. Regardless of whether the goal would be scored or not, it was very dangerous.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded along with the booing of AC Milan fans.
"Mawuba! He pulled Kaka down. This was a tactical foul and he might have to take the cards." Thierry said.
"This foul is very timely and necessary! Once Kaka completes the long-distance raid, the morale of Milan will reach its peak, and the Marseille team will have no chance of winning." Vesto said while talking about Mawubazan. "This young man is the largest signing for Marseille in the summer, spending Marseille nine million euros. Now it seems that it is worth the money!"
※※※※※※※※※※
Kaka was lying on the ground, being pushed down while rushing, losing his center of gravity. Now he fell heavily, so he had to slow down. At the same time, he felt a little regretful. If the opponent did not decisively foul, he would have full confidence to break in and have a great chance of scoring.
The referee Merkel showed a yellow card to Mawuba. Mawuba did not protest. He knew that this yellow card was indispensable when he committed a foul. However, AC Milan fans were very dissatisfied and booed. Obviously, what they wanted to see was that the color of the card was red!
This was a free kick about twenty-five meters away from the goal, and Pirlo stood at the free throw point.
He chose to shoot directly. The quality of this free kick was quite high and almost went out close to the post, which shocked the Marseille sweat.
※※※※※※※※※※
Fernandez smiled helplessly.
He asked the team to try not to foul in dangerous areas, but it was difficult. Mawuba's foul just now was beyond reproach. If Mawuba did not foul, Kaka would break into the penalty area.
It is really difficult to play against a giant club like AC Milan. Any of their players are top players. This team has at least three or five players with the ability to change the score instantly. What's more, many of the players in this AC Milan team are veterans who won the 2003 Champions League. They have a good understanding of each other, and their tactical styles are very mature and very difficult to deal with.
To be continued...
