Chapter 487 Livermore and Kaka's Intimate Contact
In the second half, AC Milan stepped up its offensive.

AC Milan manager Galliani said that he should "play enough advantages", not just verbal arrogance, AC Milan is indeed rushing to this goal.

Now that AC Milan is one goal behind and the score is at a disadvantage, they need to work harder to score goals and bring the situation back. They can no longer say 'play enough advantage', but they must also 'play advantage', which is actually very easy- -
All it takes is one goal!
The UEFA Champions League is a two-round match. AC Milan's first round is an away game. A draw is equal to victory. If there is another away goal, the advantage has already come out.

Millwall arrives at the San Siro, how hard is it to beat AC Milan?
Imagine.

This situation is known to everyone.

All of AC Milan are also working hard. They continue to strengthen their offensive and want to use their offensive to suppress Millwall and regain some unfavorable situation in the first half.

Italian football gives people the impression of a solid defense and a slow rhythm, but Italy's top giants are all good at playing rhythm.

Like Juventus.

The title of 'old woman' is enough to explain Juventus' style, but the term 'old woman' cannot fully cover it, because Juventus is good at changing the rhythm and taking advantage of the opponent's discomfort to find opportunities to score goals Score.

In this regard, AC Milan is not as good as Juventus, but their offensive rhythm is not slow.

From the slow-paced delivery to the sudden acceleration of the attack, AC Milan used the accelerated rhythm to play exquisite coordination, which made Millwall uncomfortable and the defense was a little loose due to the impact.

Millwall's midfield control is very strong, and the players on the field are also very tough in defense, but if you focus on one position, other positions will become weak.

As long as AC Milan crosses the midfield, it becomes easier to find opportunities in front of the goal.

After several consecutive offensives, AC Milan became more and more confident.

They found that Millwall's defense was not as stable as they felt in the first half. Maybe the first half was just a little uncomfortable. When they got used to it and knew how to break through the midfield, the offense became much easier.

AC Milan used offensive and defensive transitions to start frequent and fast attacks.

This is actually a defensive counterattack.

Whenever Millwall launched a wave of offensive, AC Milan followed up with a wave of fast breaks, but there was also some intention to attack actively, because AC Milan's overall strength was stronger, and they played well on the court. The rate is slightly higher than that of Millwall, so it can be said that it has a big advantage in this situation.

The Italian media watched the game on the field. Millwall was suppressed very badly. The goal seemed to be lost at any time. They felt very happy. They finally had something to say——
"This is a normal game!"

"AC Milan has finally regained its feeling, and it is only a matter of time before tying!"

"Millwall revealed!"

"No matter how good the strategy is, it has practical effects. AC Milan has already understood Millwall, and the next time should all belong to AC Milan."

"This is how the game should be!"

"..."

The Italian media said it well, but AC Milan does not have an "absolute" advantage. They just have more ball possession. Millwall's stable offensive also poses a certain threat.

Therefore, the development of the game situation still depends on the performance of the players on both sides.

----

The AC Milan players are in good condition. They let go of their offensive and kept attacking Millwall's defense, and they kept finding opportunities.

In 3 minutes, AC Milan made a threat. After several consecutive attempts to pass the ball to the penalty area failed, Seedorf did not pass the ball forward again, but handed it to Pirlo who kept up.

Pirlo kept possession of the ball, got rid of Livermore and Vardy, and passed the ball back when he saw that he could not find an opportunity. Many people thought that AC Milan would reorganize the attack. Unexpectedly, Cafu who followed him directly Just a long shot.

This long shot is too threatening!
The football almost crosses a straight line, the players who pass the penalty area, and go straight to the goal.

"Shoot—!"

"Danger--!"

Following the shouts of the commentators representing different camps, the goalkeeper Graham reacted very quickly and threw the ball out.

"Graham did a great job! He saved Cafu's shot! The shot from about 30 meters just now was extremely threatening! It was so sudden! Graham reacted very quickly, and he saved the ball accurately! "

Many fans in the auditorium are applauding Graham's performance.

Lineker continued, "The threat of this kind of long-range shot is often not the speed and angle. 30 meters is a bit too far. Even players with strong legs, such as Livermore, can hardly make a real threat. The threat actually comes from the goalkeeper’s judgment. There are many players in the penalty area, and they may block the goalkeeper’s sight.

"But Graham was very focused. He didn't get careless because of Pirlo's return pass. He reacted immediately and made an accurate save. His performance is commendable..."

AC Milan takes a corner kick.

Seedorf went to the penalty spot, he kicked an arc and fell straight to the front point. Gilardino jumped up and hit the ball first, but the football flew over the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

After the opening of the second half, AC Milan's most threatening attack came to an end.

The impact of this offensive has not disappeared.

AC Milan found the feeling of scoring from the offense. They began to cooperate frequently in key positions, posing a direct threat to Millwall's goal. Millwall had to shrink the formation and compress the passing space near the opponent's penalty area.

The situation of the game was once tilted towards AC Milan.

Millwall's defense was under a lot of pressure. Livermore became Gattuso in the first half. Wherever he ran, the opponent would pass the ball. Vardy, Braniff and winger Simpson also returned. Withdrew to the backcourt, they helped to stabilize the defense and resist AC Milan's tough offensive.

The present time poses the greatest challenge to Graham.

Graham felt the tremendous pressure.

Millwall's main force last season was still Hislop. Graham gradually replaced Hislop from this season. Hislop gradually handed over the main position, but in fact, Graham did not Faced with too much pressure, Millwall's results are too good. Every game is solved by other players. The role of the goalkeeper is not very big. As long as they can perform normally, it is enough for the team to beat the opponent , And because he has never faced huge pressure, Graham's ability is generally questioned by the media and fans.

Graham needs more time.

Graham also hopes to prove himself with his performance in the big competition, but when the opportunity comes, his mind has no time to think about anything, he just focuses on dealing with possible threats. AC Milan's frontcourt, Seedorf, Gilardino, Kaka, the three of them took turns attacking Millwall's defense. As long as there is a chance, the attack may turn into a shot.

AC Milan seems to be playing better and better, and the threat to the goal is getting bigger and bigger.

Graham concentrated on defending, and it was still very dangerous a few times. Fortunately, his reaction, the reaction of his teammates, and luck were all passable.

His performance during this period also allowed Graham to be recognized by the media——
"The save just now was quite stable!"

"Graham was very calm, he held the ball tightly in his arms!"

"Kaka's sudden attack made it difficult to react, but Graham blocked it with his fist!"

"..."

The game finally had some free time, and the commentator Lineker finally talked about Graham in detail, "He may be the least famous player on the Millwall field, but he also followed Millwall from the British Championship. A player who has been playing all the way, last season, Hislop became the main goalkeeper, Graham had to serve as a substitute, he needs more experience, but this season he has gradually replaced Hislop. Hislop It's too old after all."

"Now we have seen Graham's performance. A goalkeeper needs to be stable. In the face of a big battle and a tense situation, he must remain calm at all times to ensure that the goal is not lost."

Graham's stable performance also made Millwall teammates feel at ease.

sidelines.

Regarding Graham's performance, Zhang Yang can only say that he is quite satisfied, and has no other special feelings.

Graham is the main goalkeeper of Millwall. For more than two seasons, he has experienced countless battles with the team, and he has also been promoted with many teammates.

The position of goalkeeper can also be said to require talent, but compared to other positions, the demand is much smaller.

For example, a striker.

Without the support of talent, no matter how hard the forward players work, let alone becoming a top star, it is quite remarkable to be able to enter the professional league.

Goalkeepers are different.

What a goalkeeper needs is experience and a stable mentality. Talent can only be said to be fast in response and more flexible in body. Some top goalkeepers also have some personal characteristics, but anyway, if you want to become a top goalkeeper, you need experience. It is several times, dozens of times more important than talent.

When many goalkeepers were in their 20s, they couldn't play the main position, so they could only serve as the second goalkeeper or the third goalkeeper. When other players had reached their peak, the goalkeeper had just been able to get a stable playing time.

This is the age difference between goalkeeper and other positions.

There are also talented goalkeepers in the world. For example, the Italian genius Buffon has already served as a starter for clubs and national teams at a young age, but genius goalkeepers are a minority after all, and most goalkeepers are accumulated by experience.

So did Graham.

Graham's advantage over others is that he came from the lower leagues and has a lot of game experience. In the Premier League, he can often get playing time and experience a little bit of improvement. His talent can only be regarded as mediocre. , but the advantage is that the mentality is calm. Up to now, it cannot be regarded as the top in the world, but it is enough to gain a foothold among the first-class goalkeepers.

This is also one of the reasons why Millwall did not consider adding a goalkeeper last summer.

Graham is enough.

Although Graham's stable performance did not make Millwall's situation more optimistic, AC Milan's offensive was too tough, and Millwall's defense was somewhat unable to support it.

In the 609th minute of the game, AC Milan found a good opportunity. Perhaps it should be said that Kaka, the star player of AC Milan, suddenly broke out.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Kaka made a gesture to pass to Seedorf.

This action fooled Morris.

Morris' center of gravity shifted to the left, giving Kaka a good chance to break through. He decisively exploded with speed, and slammed past Morris.

accelerate!
Speed ​​up!
When Morris turned around and chased after a few steps, he could only see Kaka's back.

"Stop him!"

Morris yelled nervously at his teammates.

Kaka quickly moved forward, and in a few steps he rushed to the ten-meter range in front of the penalty area line, and he could kick directly forward. Millwall's defense became tense, and the other teammates couldn't react in time. The only one who could come to defend, There was only Livermore running diagonally.

Seeing Kaka rushing forward at a fast speed, and hearing Morris' exclamation, while Livermore strode forward, he couldn't help but think of the coach's explanation before the game——
"If it's a critical moment and you're really not sure about defending Kaka, use a foul! Do you understand? Use a foul to stop him! But try not to get a red card, staying on the field is more important than a goal!"

Now is the critical moment!
Livermore made a judgment at the first time. After rushing to Kaka, before the latter continued to accelerate and take him forward, he seemed to be unable to stop the car, and his body collided with Kaka. .

"Oh!"

a mess!
Kaka fell to the ground directly after being hit, and the inertia of running fast made him roll forward twice.

Livermore crossed Kaka, resting on the ground with one hand, his body was unstable, and he was half lying on the ground. His right hand was covering his ear. Under the lens of the camera, he could clearly see that there was blood flowing out. When he stood up, his face was covered with blood. Embarrassed.

Livermore has a good heart.

Livermore knew very well that the force of his collision was absolutely unbearable to Kaka while running at high speed. The other party fell to the ground or the second. If his body pressed Kaka in an instant, the opponent was likely to suffer a "secondary injury", so in the At the moment of the collision, Livermore took an evasive posture and jumped over Kaka, but Kaka raised his leg high, and the shoe spikes scratched Livermore's cheek, causing several wounds.

Livermore sat halfway on the ground, covering his ears and grinning.

Kaka hugged her head in pain.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. Almost all the media were paying attention to this conflict. The TV images of various live games were playing back in slow motion.

The referee ran over, checked the situation of the two, and shouted a few words with the walkie-talkie. After that, he signaled the team doctors and staff of both sides to enter the field, and at the same time quickly showed Livermore a yellow card.

"Yellow card!"

"Just a yellow card?"

The AC Milan players were immediately very dissatisfied, chatting excitedly around the referee.

Gattuso argued with the referee in the past and seemed to move closer to the referee. The referee immediately pushed his chest with one hand and shouted, "Stay away from me!"

"This is my decision. If you are not satisfied, you can appeal after the game."

Gattuso was helpless.

AC Milan players are also very helpless.
