Football: The King of Efficiency, the Ball Must Go in the Small Penalty Area

The game started 15 minutes into the game.

AC Milan and Chievo each had 2 shots.

In terms of ball possession, both sides each accounted for 50%.

From the scene.

Chievo, who was pressing in the audience, seemed to have a slight upper hand.

This situation really surprised the fans.

However, AC Milan coach Allegri, who was on the sidelines, watched the field quietly, but there was no panic on his face.

Chievo's tactic of pressing from a high position in the opening game was indeed beyond his expectations.

The pass from Milan did seem a little flustered because of this, and even conceded two goals.

But whether it is the continuous combing of the midfield core Pirlo.

It is still the defensive Silva and Nesta's calm clearance and danger.

AC Milan's tactical execution, offensive and defensive conversion is still normal.

Under the pressure of Chievo.

AC Milan has only had two shots on goal so far.

But this is only temporary.

Just have to wait a little longer, once Chievo's pressing has subsided.

Then Milan's powerful offensive firepower will be poured into Chievo's body exponentially!

Decree frowned at this time, staring closely at the situation on the field.

On the bench behind him, cheers from the players could be heard from time to time.

But his mood at this time was not optimistic.

Xu Feng's pre-war motivation was indeed very effective.

The huge energy that Chievo players burst out at the beginning of the game.

It really surprised everyone.

But Decree was very clear in his heart.

Chievo players in this state, can not maintain 90 minutes.

Chievo's current confrontation with Milan.

It's like a hairy boy, preemptive, trying to punch the old master to death.

But the master's experience and strength are objective facts.

As long as the old master reacts and greets the hairy boy, it will be the crushing of real strength!

The game goes to 20 minutes.

After a siege failed.

Sario stood where he was, dressed roughly.

"Shario, what do you want, are you okay?"

Xu Feng shouted not far away.

Shalio waved his hand, indicating that he was okay.

Shalio as a striker substitute.

Although relying on the usual training and competition, you can maintain the state.

But in the face of strong enemy Milan.

Plus 20 minutes of high-intensity pressing.

There was a lot of problems with his physical fitness for a while.

However, Xu Feng also noticed.

Not just Sario.

Other teammates, aggressiveness and range of movement when pressing.

are slowly decreasing.

The physical fitness of the entire team is indeed a relatively large consumption.

Although by pressing, Chievo successfully won the ball several times.

But several attacks.

Chievo's players were unable to pass the ball into the small penalty area smoothly.

Xu Feng was a little distressed.

An attack just now.

Xu Feng gets the ball near the box line.

Looking at Silva, who is in a hot state ahead.

Xu Feng knew that it would be difficult for him to break through this barrier.

Unable to reach the small restricted area.

There was no way, Xu Feng could only try a mid-to-long-range shot in the penalty area.

Although the ball escaped Silva's block.

But Milan goalkeeper Abbiati's position is good.

The ball is easily confiscated.

Abbiati is also a well-known goalkeeper in Serie A.

At his peak, he was also the substitute for Italian goalkeeper Buffon.

As the age increases, it also has the meaning of getting older and more demon.

Amelia, Roma and other young talents of Italian goalkeepers.

They were all pressed to the bench by him.

Milan's goalkeeper is solid.

Not to mention the back line guarded by Silva and Nesta in front of him.

Xu Feng made a powerless discovery.

In the confrontation with the top defensive combination in Serie A.

Chievo's single attack method is easy to be seen by the opponent.

Although this game.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of being overwhelmed by the opponent's crowd tactics when the head coach played against Palermo last game.

Today's game, deliberately changed to the double striker tactics again.

Shallio shares part of the firepower for himself.

But nonetheless.

Chievo attacked several times.

In the end, they all come back to the same destination.

That is to let Xu Feng complete the final blow.

This is an offensive style that works well on other teams.

Face the top defenders of Milan today.

But the lethality is greatly reduced.

As Milan coach Allegri, special man-marking deployment before the game.

Thiago Silva's eyes.

Not only staring at Xu Feng's movement.

He has also been watching Chievo's passing lanes all the time.

Frontier Kosai.

Front midfielder Constant.

Once they have the ball.

Silva will concentrate his attention with a high degree of concentration, ready to start at any time.

It was difficult for Chievo's ball to reach Xu Feng's feet comfortably.

Not to mention sending a pass in the penalty area for Xu Feng!

The weakness of Chievo's attack quickly showed up!

This is the most worrying point for head coach Decree.

At this point it finally became a reality.

But he soon realized.

Focus on marking Xu Feng, and limit Xu Feng's performance in the small penalty area to the maximum extent.

It will also become the primary defensive strategy used by Serie A teams in the future when facing Chievo!

When your opponent has a penalty area killer with 8 goals in 4 games and a 100% conversion rate from the small penalty area.

Aren't you going to take a special man-marking defense?

In particular, the opponent's offensive routines are almost all revolving around this player!

Decree closed his eyes nervously.

Palermo's strategy of focusing on Xu Feng's defense will soon become the object of imitation by Serie A teams.

by that time. . . Xu Feng is afraid that it is difficult to get the ball comfortably in the small penalty area as he is now.

This Milan doesn't need to be like Palermo at all.

Milan has Silva, who has the ability to grab the top.

There is also Nesta, which intercepts and prevents leaks.

Only by their special care.

Xu Feng would play very hard.

Shalio was originally Xu Feng's wingman.

There is a task of sharing firepower.

But his level is still a lot worse.

On the one hand, he doesn't pose much of a threat.

The second was when Xu Feng was in trouble.

His movement and level of contact really can't share too much pressure on Xu Feng.

But then again, in the face of an opponent of Milan's strength.

Even if Sario is replaced by Pelissier.

How much difference can it make?

The situation in Chievo is not very good now, Decree thought.

But then, something even worse happened to the Chievo team.

For physical reasons.

The pressing intensity of the Chievo team had no choice but to drop.

The pressing on Chievo's side had just subsided.

AC Milan's offensive intensity immediately swarmed up seamlessly!

In the 35th minute, Pirlo made a precise long pass to find Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt.

Ibrahimovic's strong body.

Even Andreoli, who is known for his strength, couldn't resist.

Ibrahimovic successfully fought for the top and ferried the ball to Pato, who was quickly inserted.

Golden boy Pato immediately turned on the high-speed dribbling mode.

Like a sharp blade, it ripped Chievo's back line in one fell swoop.

Against Sorrendino who is defending from a close corner.

Pato deftly took a curveball from the far corner.

Sorrentino jumped up to save, but was still powerless.

The ball flies into the far corner with a spin!

1 to 0!

AC Milan lead by one goal! *
