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

Chapter 156 Champions League Knockout (4K)

"Gianluigi Donnarumma's fantastic save, AC Milan again denying the arch-enemy's shot, Inter's corner kick."

"It's time to familiarize yourself with corner kicks again. AC Milan needs to pay attention to the position of the deadly enemy."

There is one more sentence that the commentary didn't say clearly, that is, the big international's ability to compete for corner kicks is not bad.

Especially players such as Miranda who are already standing in the penalty area, once the opponent gains an advantage, the big international will naturally make AC Milan pay the price.

The corner kick was taken by Perisic.

The quality is good, and the corner kick is even more accurate to find the high point of the penalty area-Miranda.

"Miranda's header was accurately saved by Donnarumma, the ball is still in the penalty area!"

"The follow-up shot!"

"Donnarumma made another save, Li Feng made a big kick in the penalty area, and the threat of AC Milan's penalty area was temporarily lifted."

"Li Feng's big kick to clear the siege is far enough away, which greatly reduces the defensive pressure on AC Milan's penalty area."

"Although the ball failed to get back, but the big international wants to threaten AC Milan's penalty area again, it needs to reorganize."

Although the ball is under the control of the big international, it is not easy for them to score goals quickly.

After Brozovic dunked Berardi who was grabbing, the ball was given to Edel in the middle again.

Milinkovic-Savic lowered his center of gravity.

He was indifferent to Edel's feint.

When the opponent smashed the ball again, Milinkovic-Savic caught the opponent's mistake and made a sliding tackle, and the big international's offense froze like this.

Li Feng retreated to respond, and Li Feng got the ball immediately.

Such a situation made the defensive players of the big international have to keep up.

"Li Feng plays the ball with his back, and the midfielder Milinkovic-Savic picks up the pass. AC Milan's chance is about to come out!"

"The pass is too big, Li Feng may not have room to adjust!"

The commentary also sighed with emotion.

On the field, Li Feng looked back at the ball, and tens of thousands of "sacred beasts" flashed in his heart.

[Mom, this has passed! 】

After complaining in his heart, Li Feng turned to face the ball.

"A scorpion wagging its tail?"

"GOALL LLL!!!!!!"

"The goal was beautiful, AC Milan expanded the score!"

"There are still 4 minutes left before the end of the game, and the score is now 3-1. For the big internationals, the probability of them wanting to take points is getting smaller and smaller!"

……

"Pretty!"

Milinkovic-Savic threw a bear, and he gave Li Feng a big hug directly.

What followed was hugs from teammates.

"Boy, you did a great job. If there are no accidents in this game, we will steadily score 3 points!"

3 points is an excellent opportunity for the current AC Milan to stabilize the ranking.

Listening to his teammates, Li Feng smiled and nodded.

Judging from the current situation, AC Milan has taken the initiative, and the next thing they have to do is to defend firmly and keep the fruits of victory until the end.

Time is also passing by bit by bit at this moment.

When the home whistle blew the whistle for the end of the game, AC Milan, who played at home, finally won the game with a score of 3-1.

After this victory, AC Milan is still ranked second in the league, and they are still 2 points behind the leader Naples.

They are also 2 points ahead of Juventus.

After this game, Gattuso also set his sights on the Champions League knockout round after 3 rounds.

This is the first match of AC Milan's return to the Champions League knockout after a long absence. The goal they set for themselves in this game is to win a game.

As for being able to advance to the next round, that is really resignation!
[Beautiful, even if we can't touch the league champion in the end, I can accept it! 】

[Hehe, it’s scary to have such an idea, why can’t both of them compete?Why give up one? 】

[That's because our strength is not enough, multi-line battles will inevitably collapse! 】

[As a professional player, shouldn't the pursuit of victory in the game be the most important?Is it possible to win the league championship by lying flat? 】

[Hee hee, it's just a league loss, do you really think AC Milan is enough to compete for this distant league trophy? 】

【.】

This Milan derby finally came to an end temporarily with AC Milan's victory. I believe that when the Coppa Italia or next season's Milan derby starts, they will make AC Milan pay a heavy price.

The post-match interview was still given to Li Feng.

As one of the best players in AC Milan, Li Feng usually deliberately avoids interviews.

Even for an exclusive interview, Li Feng thought it was unnecessary.

But then things get interesting.

"Hello, Li, I am a reporter from "Turin Sports News". According to the current development, the number of goals you set before will soon be broken. Will you make adjustments again?"

Make adjustments?

A few strange lights flashed in Li Feng's eyes, and he realized that there was also a young man beside him.

Doesn't this cause trouble for the family?
"No, I haven't accomplished this goal yet!"

Li Feng's answer was relatively straightforward. With the movement of his steps, Li Feng finally saw that position and saw the situation on the field.

Finally, as time passed, Li Feng finally appeared on the sidelines.

In order to get his "starter", Li Feng ruthlessly grabbed the replacements around him.

In the 23rd round of Serie A, AC Milan defeated Palermo in an away game.

It was also in this 90-minute fierce battle that Palermo finally lost the game with a score of 0-2.

In the 90 minutes of the game, Li Feng failed to win the game on behalf of the game.

So when Li Feng appeared in the 25th round of Serie A, they ended the game with one win and one tie.

At the same time, Li Feng, who participated in the league competition, even scored 2 goals and 1 assist for the team.

Considering Li Feng's "level" before, the confrontation in this game became very interesting.

"The Serie A scorer list is still Higuain of Naples for the time being. He temporarily leads with 25 goals."

"In this situation, for AC Milan, the game may only be talked about."

"."

In the 25 league games, Li Feng did not play in these league games, but in terms of goals, Li Feng is still in the forefront of the league.

Planning according to the current situation, Li Feng has become the link that AC Milan needs to pay attention to most in the league.

After the 25th round of Serie A, the league points have a new situation.

1. Naples: 56 points;
2. AC Milan: 55 points;
3. Juventus: 55 points;
4. Rome: 48 points;
5. Florence: 46 points;
The current AC Milan has the same points as Juventus, but in terms of goal difference, AC Milan has a slight lead.

According to the analysis of the current tactical arrangement, AC Milan's recent state is not good, and it can even be said because of their offensive arrangement.

AC Milan's defense is likely to have problems in the next game.

However, they really haven't thought about what kind of ranking AC Milan can get in the league.

From the analysis of player configuration, AC Milan does not have the possibility of winning the championship, but they can become a good spoiler.

Since they have the strength to become a spoiler, then for the players, there is no problem with their own strength!

Such a situation naturally attracted the attention of the Champions League opponents.

For Paris, there is not much pressure to win the league, so they need to set their sights on the Champions League and strive to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

However, at present, some positions in Greater Paris have entered "aging", so the "renewal" of players in this position is inevitable.

For the management of Greater Paris, the current Paris Saint-Germain needs to make changes in the 9th position. The aging Ibrahimovic may not be able to support the entire team's pursuit of higher honors.

So at this time, it is imperative to replace players who are not satisfied with the "boss".

"Ivan, next you will meet the Ligue [-] overlord - Paris Saint-Germain, are you confident to beat them?"

The pre-match press conference arrived as scheduled.

For Gattuso, the timing of this game really made AC Milan feel tricky.

There is not much time to prepare deliberately. For Gattuso, it is the best choice to get a draw as much as possible.

"I have the confidence to beat the opponent, even if it is an away game, but I believe that our strength is not weaker than the opponent."

Gattuso's words were resounding. For the head coach, Paris Saint-Germain's offensive and defensive problems are very prominent.

Although it is not top-heavy, the wing of Paris needs AC Milan to focus on marking.

Especially their right winger - Angel Di Maria!

From the perspective of the player's personal ability, Angel Di Maria may not be the best, but his presence on the wing can be full.

Especially his left foot!
Once Angel Di Maria gets the chance on the right side of the penalty area, then what this leaves for AC Milan is to lose the ball!
There is another guy, that is their No. 9 - Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

This is a player with excellent physical talent, maybe not fast enough, but this guy's shooting skills are something no opponent will underestimate.

Especially against his old club, Ibrahimovic may declare his "return" with a hearty victory.

For this football prodigal son, AC Milan is particularly important to him.

When I left AC Milan, it was because the team was really too poor. For my beloved club, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva were sold to Paris.

And now Ibrahimovic has the chance to return to San Siro, especially as a player, he hopes he can advance!
Another question concerns Zlatan Ibrahimovic more directly.

"Ivan, what do you think of Zlatan Ibrahimovic?"

Listening to the reporter's question, Gattuso's gaze fell on the reporter's badge, a reporter from L'Equipe.

This made Gattuso ponder for a moment.

"Zlatan is a striker with great quality and he will put us under a lot of pressure, but I believe in my players and they will take a victory from the Parc des Princes!"

As the head coach of the visiting team, what Gattuso pursues is to lose without losing.

No matter what happened after the final game, he couldn't lose his momentum at the press conference.

"Ivan, I'm a reporter from "Milan Evening News". Regarding the upcoming knockout round of the Champions League, will you choose to rest some of the starting players?"

Starting on a break?

The corner of Gattuso's mouth twitched slightly.

Judging from the starting configuration of the two teams, Paris Saint-Germain is much stronger than AC Milan. Even in terms of midfield combination, even if Paris Saint-Germain sells Matuidi, Their configuration in the midfield is still better than AC Milan.

So this game is very likely to be a situation where the opponent is behind in a full range.

"No, we will play with all our strength and strive to beat our opponents away."

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, good morning everyone, I am Zhang Jun (Zhan Lu), and the game we are bringing to you now is the first round of the UEFA Champions League 15/16 finals in the 1-8 season, Paris Saint-Germain plays Prince The Park Stadium is facing AC Milan, who is here as a guest!"

"Judging from the distribution of players, Paris Saint-Germain's overall strength is better than AC Milan, but this is not what you watch in football games!"

"Regarding the familiarity between the players, Paris Saint-Germain's Motta, Verratti, etc., they know Li Feng very well. After all, they have worked together at the national team level."

"There are two other guys, they are the core players of Paris Saint-Germain, they are Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the front and Thiago Silva at the back."

"These two veterans also have a common feature, that is, they both played for AC Milan!"

Taking advantage of the start of the game, Zhang Jun took the lead in introducing the players of the two teams and their strengths and weaknesses in the game.

With the warm-up before the game over, the players have already started the handshake session.

It was also during this period of time that Zhang Jun seized the short time to quickly introduce the players on the field.

"Paris Saint-Germain, who are playing at home, still use a 433-[-]-[-] formation, which is one of the most frequently used formations at the moment."

"The goalkeeper position is held by Trapp, and the defense line from left to right is Marcosville, David Luiz, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos;
The midfield combination from left to right: Rabiot, Motta, Verratti;

The forward line arrangement from left to right is: Lucas Moura, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Di Maria;
Also sitting on the bench: Cavani, Pastore and Kurzawa and so on. "

For the head coach of Paris, Braque, once he can't start the situation, he will adjust his formation, remove Lucas Moura, and arrange a double striker to attack AC Milan's defense.

He believes that Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic can tear apart AC Milan's defense.

"In addition, the formation of AC Milan has not changed much, they are almost playing their cards!"

"Single Arrow: Li Feng

Central midfield: Bonaventura, Milinkovic-Savic, Berardi

Double midfielders: Montolivo, Matuidi

Defense: Antonelli, Romagnoli, Alex, Abate
Goalkeeper: Donnarumma;
There have been few changes to the formation, and that also applies to the selection of starters. "

For Blanco in such a matchup, what he needs to focus on is how the teammates behind Li Feng can give him enough support.

"The referee for this game is Carlos Velasco!"

"drop!"

"drop!!"

"drop!!!"

As Carlos Velasco blew the whistle to start the game, the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals is just beginning!
