From the man behind the football king to the football king

At 3 pm local time on November 30, Italy, San Siro Stadium.

From the beginning of the game, Udinese, playing away from home, started to attack AC Milan, surrounding Essien in the midfield and putting pressure frequently.

AC Milan seemed to lack preparation for this. On the one hand, they did not expect that Udinese would play so proactively and aggressively against AC Milan. On the other hand, they also expected Udinese to concentrate the entire team's offensive firepower on Essien. The lack of necessary preparations made Essien a little embarrassed when he was hit. Van Hinkel and Bonaventura had to come over to help. The most direct reaction was that AC Milan's midfielder became passive, tired of defending, and unable to support the forwards. Wire.

Seeing Udinese take the initiative to attack and fight AC Milan after the start of the game, Inzaghi was surprised at first. He thought that Udinese would be more conservative when facing AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium. Unexpectedly, Udinese would insist on attacking.

Then, Inzaghi was happy. Since Udinese didn't know how to live or die, he didn't mind giving Udinese a lift.

In this psychological state, even when AC Milan was a little passive when seeing Udinese besieging Essien, Inzaghi didn't care too much. He had confidence in his team. As long as he could withstand this wave of offensive, AC Milan, which has regained its composure, will teach Udinese a lesson.

But when the game went on for a while, what Inzaghi didn't expect was that his AC Milan seemed to be unable to withstand the constant impact of Udinese.

However, he did not expect that AC Milan's second goal would come so quickly.

"A football match lasts for ninety minutes. 2:0 in the first half doesn't mean anything. It doesn't guarantee that we win the game. Be careful of AC Milan's counterattack in the second half."

Essien is good at both offense and defense. Now he is besieged by Udinese. Although the defensive end may be more difficult, on the offensive end, the Ghanaian should be able to make more contributions.

Udinese took the lead thanks to Di Natale's goal.

Yes, the commentator was right. AC Milan stars, including El Shaarawi, Keisuke Honda and Mene, lacked midfield support and failed to bring much to Udinese's goal on the offensive end. threaten.

"In the second half of the game, if AC Milan changes their formation, we will fight them on a defensive counterattack." Guidolin knocked on the tactical board and drew a few arrows, "2:0, we are qualified to counterattack, hold on, even if Even if AC Milan recovers a goal, don’t panic, they are more anxious than us.”

However, after praising him, he did not forget to remind the players.

While Vidmon, Guillerme and other Udinese players were celebrating their goals, the young Shaarawy put his hands on his hips and looked at the turf. Beside him, Honda Keisuke spat on the ground in displeasure. Saliva, not far away, Menei was also shaking his head helplessly.

How could he not know that, in fact, when he was arranging this lineup, Inzaghi knew that Essien might become the focus of Udinese's attack, but he still insisted on such tactics and lineup. This is because: This In a game, the important thing is not defense!

The assistant glanced at Inzaghi and understood.

"Alain's through ball! Guilherme! Speed! Speed! Speed! Very fast speed! Split the side, Cancelo crosses! Mexes! He makes a clearance! The kick is flawed... Di Natale—— GOOOOOOOOL! !

This is to completely compete with Udinese and score goals.

Inzaghi frowned slightly, this lost ball made him a little unhappy. However, Inzaghi also had to admit that Udinese's goal was very beautiful. From Alan's pressing, to Vidmon's successful steal, and then Udinese launched a quick counterattack, the entire counterattack process was very high-speed, AC Milan's defense Totally overwhelmed.

"It's not just that. It's impossible for Inzaghi not to see this problem, but he has not made adjustments. This is not just because of the time of the first half of the game. In my opinion, Inzaghi's performance against AC Milan Too confident in his offensive ability, he thought AC Milan could respond with a strong attack, but obviously, this did not happen. "

Even so, when AC Milan scored shortly after the start of the second half, Guidolin realized that he had underestimated Montolivo and AC Milan.

Before the start of the second half, AC Milan made substitutions. Van Hinkel was replaced and Montolivo came on as a substitute.

"The team must press out and use offense to suppress Udinese's offense." Inzaghi made his judgment.

"GOOOOOOOOOOL! Antonio Di Natale! He scored! 1:0! Udinese leads AC Milan 1:0 in the away game, and Di Natale scored the goal!"

"Focus on defending Montolivo."

Guidolin clearly pointed out the key to the second half of the game.

………………

"In the 13th round of the league, Di Natale's 10th goal! Close to one goal per game!"

"Bruno Fernandez! 2:0! Udinese leads AC Milan by two goals." The commentator shouted, "It's crazy. Faced with Udinese's offensive, AC Milan seems to be helpless. Their defense They were ripped apart again, but their offense still showed little improvement. AC Milan's big-name stars, Shaarawi, Mene, Keisuke Honda, Van Hinkel, and Bonaventura, seemed to be sleepwalking. "

The effect of Inzaghi's adjustment can be said to be immediate.

"Essien is single as a defensive midfielder, so there is a lot of pressure." Inzaghi's assistant coach said.

At the end of the first half, the score on the field was 0:2. International practice is that the home team goes first.

"I know." Inzaghi nodded.

How can this be.

Inzaghi naturally saw where the team's problems were. Udinese's attack started when Essien's pass was intercepted after being forced.

In the 31st minute of the game, Alan sent a long ball. After Guilherme dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he tried to make a long shot. He deceived Colombian defender Amero into making a move, but instead passed the ball out and followed up. Di Natale held Bonera, half-turned and volleyed. After the ball was blocked by Diego Lopez with his leg, Bruno followed up and completed the supplementary shot in front of Mexes, and the ball crashed into the net.

………………

………………

"The problem lies here with Essien." The commentator said, "The Ghanaian is the key target of Udinese's attack. AC Milan is very passive here, which leads to a defensive crisis for the whole team. The defense is not good, and then it will inevitably affect On the offensive end.”

Accompanied by the roar of the commentator, Di Natale, who scored the goal, opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area, followed by the excited Udinese players behind him!

………………

In this case, Udinese will have to be careful about AC Milan's offense.

"No matter which one it is, remember it." Guidolin knocked on the small blackboard, "AC Milan made adjustments, from a single defensive midfielder to a double defensive midfielder, and our tactics also changed -"

Guidolin looked at the players and said seriously: "Remember, this is the key."

"Montolivo is the brains of AC Milan. If he restricts Montolivo, half of AC Milan's offense will be paralyzed!"

"Stealing the ball!"

………………

AC Milan's offensive trident was in a depressed mood, and it could even be said that they felt frustrated. With Van Hinkel and Bonaventura frequently having to help Yayaturi defend, there was no midfield support. The Trident had to frequently retreat to get the ball, trying to use personal skills to tear apart Udinese's defense, but in the face of Udinese's tight and tough defense, the effect was very average.

………………

Guidolin paused and continued: "However, it is obvious that Inzaghi also knows the problems of his team, so he should make adjustments in the second half of the game. AC Milan may have two changes - first One way, replace Essien and replace him with Montolivo. The other is replace Bonaventura and replace him with Montolivo.”

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!"

Alan pulled the ball, adjusted it slightly, and then looked ahead.

Throughout the first half of the game, Udinese almost firmly controlled the game. Udinese had eight shots in the first half, while AC Milan only had three shots. This data reflects the success of the first half. The situation of the game.

Guidolin drew a circle on Essien's name on the tactical board, and everyone understood what the coach meant.

In addition, AC Milan is a wealthy club, and these stars are all proven top players. After the fifteen-minute halftime adjustment, they may have recovered.

Faced with Alan's pressing, Essien chose to pass the football to Bonaventura, but Widmund was already prepared for this. He suddenly stepped forward and stabbed him first, and then Kanter grabbed the ball before Fan Hinkel controlled the football before counterattacking and quickly released the ball. The football was passed to Alan.

Essien is AC Milan's single defensive midfielder. He is besieged here and will be very dangerous once he is broken through, so this forces Van Hinkel and Bonaventura to come over to help, facing the high intensity of Udinese. With the pressing tactics, AC Milan's midfielder was very passive.

This also made the reporters in the media box express their shock. This is AC Milan. This is at the San Siro Stadium. They were beaten by Udinese in an away game and were unable to fight back? !

In the first half of the game, AC Milan was caught off guard by him. In this case, Inzaghi would definitely make adjustments as long as he was not stubborn.

“Our tactics were very successful in the first half and the game continued in the second half.”

At halftime, Guidolin praised his players.

Defending Montolivo is the key to containing AC Milan's offense.

In the 51st minute of the game, Montolivo sent a beautiful ball. The ball passed around the junction of Alan and Guilherme. In front of the penalty area, Shaarawi got the ball and passed Maguire, and then suddenly Starting from the speed, when approaching Cancelo, he suddenly stopped and changed direction laterally. When Cancelo braked hastily to defend, Shaarawy took advantage of the gap created by this time difference and passed the ball to Mene.

Mene took a decisive kick, and the football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal in an arc. Although Kanizis tried his best to jump up and hit the football, he still could not completely change the flight direction of the football, and the football hung into the net.
