King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

Chapter 142 Anxiety (4K)

After slowing down the organization, Juventus began to play positions bit by bit.

This tactical choice gave Juventus a bigger stage to play.

Dybala tried unsuccessfully to break through and the forward passed the ball back quickly.

Juve's organization returned to Pogba's feet again.

"It's another cross to play Montolivo, which is one of the biggest weaknesses of AC Milan's midfield."

"There's also Matuidi, the guy's air defense is also an obvious weakness, but that's hard to exploit."

Mandzukic's header was ferried, and Hernanes in the middle kicked and shot.

The ball was blocked by Alex.

"Dybala's supplementary shot, Donnarumma's response was very timely!"

"The ball was confiscated again!"

"The internal potential of AC Milan has received good feedback."

As a commentary, they are very aware of the current situation of AC Milan. Li Feng has been found on the front line, and now at the goalkeeper position, they have also dug out the future Italian national team.

This is a good thing for a team that has been aiming for revival!
But there may be a time gap in the middle, that is, by the time Donnarumma grows up, the core position of AC Milan's midfielder may have been replaced.

According to the current configuration of AC Milan, they still need to find an excellent central defender, and the current Romagnoli cannot take on this "responsibility".

The game continues.

Donnarumma kicked off with a big kick, and AC Milan was fighting for time.

Li Feng made a header back.

Milinkovic-Savic, who followed up, split the side again.

"Bonaventura dunks Lichtsteiner, he crosses the middle."

"Barzagli made a clearance first, AC Milan's corner kick."

The two veterans at the centre-back are experienced and despite not being at their peak physical condition, they are still coping with the situation at hand.

Watching the passionate high-fives of the Juventus defenders, Li Feng adjusted his breathing. The next corner kick is their chance to score again, and he will seize it as much as possible.

Li Feng watched Montolivo put down his raised arms, and he knew that this was to be ordered later!
As the corner kick was taken, Li Feng in the penalty area tried to shake off the defensive players behind him and go around to the back point.

But he failed.

With Chiellini's fall, the referee's whistle sounded again.

"drop!!!"

"Yo, let's see what's going on here?"

The commentary judged from the height of the corner kick, which was given to the latter point.

And now that the whistle is blowing, it means someone has fouled.

At this time, Li Feng, Chiellini and Barzagli all fell to the ground in the penalty area. It seems that it was caused by pulling each other during the position grab.

However, this situation still needs to be watched again to find out.

"Chiellini and Barzagli's defensive awareness and positioning, they restricted Li Feng."

"Li Feng's first step was to get rid of the defense, but these two veterans relied on their own experience, they once again stifled Li Feng's running position, and at the same time created fouls in Li Feng's offense."

Getting up from the grass, Li Feng immediately noticed the referee's gesture and the defense's possession of the ball.

This also means that Li Feng was caught by two "old men" just now!
Looking back at Chiellini again, Li Feng smiled helplessly.

The game resumed quickly.

"Junior" Buffon began to deal with the goal kick.

Now it's 43 minutes into the first half, and there are only 2 minutes of regular time left. According to the smoothness of the game in the first half, the stoppage time is roughly 3-5 minutes.

The Milan players who noticed the time quickly retreated to their own half.

They know very well that this is likely to be the last attack in the first half. In order to avoid losing the ball at this time point, they need to devote themselves to defense.

This change also gave Juventus convenience.

After a few passes, Juventus overwhelmed halftime.

Facing AC Milan's iron barrel defense, Juventus still needs to spend a little effort to crack it.

Fortunately, they have Mandzukic on the field, this is a player with fulcrum ability, so in the last time of the first half, Juventus' attack method was extremely simple.

"Pogba plays long balls to find the high points up front."

"Mandzukic flew the header, and Dybala stopped in front of the penalty area quite beautifully. Juventus' chance has come!"

"Passing over Alex, Dybala shoots with his left foot!"

"Donnarumma again, his quick reflexes prevented Juve's goal again."

Juve's corner kick failed to head straight, which also brought the first half to an end.

With Donnarumma kicking off with a big kick, the game entered the intermission.

1-1 in the first half is acceptable for both teams, and the 45 minutes in the second half have become the key to deciding the outcome.

For Juventus, this is a key game for them to return to the first echelon, and they cannot afford to lose.

From the perspective of AC Milan, they will not give up the opportunity to defend their top spot, so none of them want to lose this game!

Looking into the locker room, the head coaches of both sides are methodically adjusting their tactics.

"Alessio, improve your concentration in the second half, I hope to see a better Alessio Romagnoli!"

"Alex, you are a veteran, you should also pay attention to your position and try to give your opponent as few chances as possible."

Gattuso took the lead in making requests for the two central defenders.

Judging from the situation in the first half, these two guys still need to be reminded.

But this is not what Gattuso likes, so Xia Chuang once again moved the idea of ​​​​introducing a central defender.

"Luka, you have to pay attention to Ricardo's position. If possible, you can fill his position!"

From the moment Ricardo Montolivo was activated, Gattuso knew that this point would be constantly grasped by his opponents.

Fortunately, Montolivo's position did not give the opponent many opportunities. On the contrary, the team's defense line is not so stable!
In this game, Allegri put Mandzukic over, the meaning is very clear, I just want to find you to fight against the weakest link.

So it is Gattuso's choice to make up for this through overall defense.

From defense to offense, Gattuso did not waste this short intermission.

It wasn't until the locker room door was knocked that Gattuso realized how fast time had passed!
The halftime break is also a moment for fans to relax.

For this game, fans of both teams expressed their support for the home team on their social media, especially Juventus fans.

[It's a bit of a pity, if only the striker was written by me, this game would have been spent long ago! 】

[Everything is written by you, but why can't you keep people? 】

[What does it mean to be unable to keep people?Didn't Del Piero fall to Juventus?Isn't Buffon also at Juventus?How about you tell me who was sold by us? 】

[Zinetin Zidane! 】

[Laughs, such a price was offered in that era, let it go to you, can you refuse? 】

[Yes, you can see that Kaka will stay for one more season! 】

[That is what Kaka stayed for the fans, not your management. 】

【.】

Before the victory or defeat on the court appeared, fans of the two teams had already started arguing on social media.

Although these are "gossip after tea", for the fans, this is their "fun".

The second half of the game begins.

AC Milan kicked off in the away game, and their advancement was very steady.

When they encountered a block from Juventus, the player who advanced the ball quickly returned the ball directly to the teammate behind him.

Too steady performance also made the game dull.

And Li Feng's defense was handed over to Chiellini again.

Facing his teammates from the national team, Chiellini did not dare to let go at all. He clings to Li Feng like a personal bodyguard.

"Milinkovic-Savic sent a through pass, and Li Feng caught the ball with his back and returned it."

"The receiving Milinkovic-Savic picks the pass."

"Li Feng turned around and plugged in very quickly."

"But the ball was immediately destroyed by Barzagli and went out of bounds, AC Milan's sideline kick."

"Barzagli destroyed AC Milan's attack, which means that Allegri's tactics on the defensive end were successful."

One goes up and the other defends behind. This is the standard configuration of a central defender, and the best defense like this must have a place in Italy.

The cooperation between Barzagli and Chiellini made Li Feng a little uncomfortable, but it is not a good proposal to rely on defense alone to handle AC Milan.

As Juventus coach, Allegri wants more.

Berardi holds the ball and quickly observes the situation on the court.

I saw Li Feng's actions at the first glance, and he once again put Chiellini behind him. This situation has happened many times in this game.

But Berardi wants to see if there are good choices in other positions.

The answer is yes!

"De Sciglio crosses the ball and Matuidi sends a through ball."

"AC Milan pass the ball very quickly, Berardi crosses at 45 degrees!"

Li Feng in the middle didn't ask for the ball at first sight, and he felt a little helpless.

When Berardi received the pass, Li Feng made a false turn and made Chiellini one step behind.

In terms of speed, Chiellini and Barzagli are at a disadvantage, there is no doubt about it.

So when Li Feng moved forward quickly, the hearts of all Juventus fans watching the game were suspended.

"Li Feng hit the goal with a head hammer!"

"Buffon blocked with both fists!!!"

"Li Feng's head hammer was too straight, which did not test Buffon."

"The first point was taken by Chiellini, but Juventus couldn't fight back!"

The players of AC Milan on the field robbed very fiercely.

Veteran Chiellini could only kick the ball out of bounds, which relieved the pressure in front of the goal.

This time, Berardi threw the ball directly to Li Feng, who was "singles" with his back.

Faced with Li Feng's "rogue" back-up behavior, Allegri's face turned dark at the scene.

"Li Feng's shot turned around after unloading the ball was saved by Buffon again, and Bonaventura pushed the far corner!"

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 67th minute of the game, AC Milan made a supplementary shot, and they overtook the score in the away game."

The situation on the field made Gattuso excitedly punched and celebrated.

The current lead means that they have taken the first step to defeat Juventus. The next step is to defend well, reduce mistakes, and try their best to keep the point difference until the end of the game.

The key to this goal still lies with Li Feng.

Turning around and shooting after catching the ball with his back is an extremely test for the goalkeeper. In addition, Li Feng is a left-footed player. He has an outstanding left-footed shot, which makes it difficult for the goalkeeper to deal with.

So Bonaventura, who completed the supplementary shot, thanked Li Feng very much.

If it wasn't for Li Feng's explosive shot with his left foot, then Bonaventura wouldn't have had the chance to make a follow-up shot.

"Good job!"

After the celebration, Bonaventura thanked Li Feng again.

The game restarts.

AC Milan played more confidently after taking the lead.

However, AC Milan did not rush forward because of this. Under the command of Gattuso, AC Milan shrank its defense, and they were ready to counterattack.

This point is seen very clearly by Allegri, but he has no choice but to push them out who are behind, which will also give AC Milan a chance.

"It's Hernanes passing back again, Marchisio splits and the ball is at Pogba's feet again."

Juventus' offense is mainly initiated by Pogba or Bonucci, and now that Bonucci is not playing, all organizational responsibilities will be handed over to Pogba.

Once again against Berardi, who was up and grabbing.

Pogba feints away and he pushes forward.

The speed is not very fast, but Pogba's eyes are always observing the situation on the field.

Li Feng, who retreated and participated in the defense, saw this clearly.

"Milinkovic-Savic has made up for it, and AC Milan has changed!"

"Berardi hit the middle."

"Pogba's long pass, is this looking for Mandzukic again?"

The question was quickly answered on the field.

Mandzukic's header was ferried, and Lichtsteiner who plugged in from behind swept the middle.

"Juve's chance came out!"

"Hernanes, who was outflanking in place, was sent flying!"

"It's time for a substitution for Allegri!"

The key opportunity was not grasped. For the head coach, he really should make a substitution!
And Allegri also seized this opportunity, and he replaced the Spanish player-Alvaro Morata.

This also meant that Dybala retreated, and this change made Gattuso on the sidelines frown.

Gattuso didn't quite understand Allegri's substitution this time. As a No. [-], Alvaro Morata naturally has a good ability to compete for the top.

But to say top-level, this is not enough.

However, this can also pose a threat to AC Milan's defense. At the same time, his abundant physical fitness will naturally make AC Milan less comfortable during this period of time.

Sure enough, in the subsequent advancement of AC Milan, Morata showed a strong desire to attack.

Such a high-intensity press naturally prevented AC Milan's offense from forming an effective advance.

"It's a good idea to have fresh forces to squeeze AC Milan's advance, but AC Milan has the possibility of attacking in other ways!"

While the commentary was speaking, the ball came to Montolivo's feet.

"AC Milan hits the back with a long pass!"

"Evra didn't give AC Milan a chance, the ball returned to Juventus."

"Pogba receives the ball, Juve's attack starts to organize again!"

Dybala's retreat has allowed two big centers to appear in the frontcourt. For AC Milan, their defense will once again be severely tested!
