Super Marshal

Ivan Gattuso was very surprised that he was able to appear on the squad for the first round of the Champions League group stage.

Not to mention, Allegri arranged for him.

From this summer, after Allegri took charge of the Rossoneri, Gattuso has been very clear that he has never been in Allegri's plan. There is only one reason. He is thirty-two years old.

For a 32-year-old player with characteristics like Gattuso, it is not surprising that he is not favored by the head coach.

Last season's head coach Leonardo no longer placed him in the main lineup, and even the club intentionally sent him to the transfer market many times, but later he agreed to the club’s salary cut extension, which was reluctant. Stay in the team.

Yes, that's right, AC Milan is out of money.

Team captain Ambrosini cut his salary by 40% to renew his contract. Gattuso made a fuss and cut his salary by 30%. Inzaghi, Seedorf, Nesta, Pirlo... All the veterans face the same choice, either cut their salary or renew their contract, or leave, like Dida and Grand Inzaghi, they just don't talk about it.

They said that this can save the team about 50 million euros each year, and the money saved will be used for signings. For example, they once fell in love with the center of the Bundesliga Wolfsburg. .

But later proved that the money was saved, but the people did not come.

Gattuso has been in AC Milan for so many years, why don't you understand Galliani's behavior?

Even if he knew these things, he still cherished the opportunity he had finally waited for this time.

So he worked very hard in this game. From the first minute of the opening, he kept chasing and running.

Allegri said that Manchester City's frontcourt set shots are very threatening and they should try to minimize fouls in dangerous areas, so Gattuso dare not move too aggressively, especially after entering the 30-meter area.

Either foul early to prevent the opponent from entering the 30-meter zone, or reduce unnecessary fouls and avoid giving the opponent a direct free kick. In this regard, the veteran Gattuso is obviously better than other younger teammates. Be smarter.

This is the third game of AC Milan in the new season. Gattuso clearly knows what Allegri is after him, so he also worked very hard to prove his tactical value in the team to the new coach.

He wants to take this opportunity to ask for a main position.

Gattuso has played professional football for more than ten years. He clearly felt the passiveness of the team. He saw clearly why it was so passive. In the final analysis, Seedorf was restricted by the opponent.

Kevin Boateng has hardly any good performances at this time.

Therefore, as the team's captain, Gattuso kept moving to the right back Abate, indicating that this young teammate is very fast. He should be more active in getting the ball on the right to create threats, so that he can share. Drop Seedorf's pressure.

What disappointed him was that his teammate seemed to be stupefied by Cristiano Ronaldo’s several attacks at the beginning of the game. When facing this superstar, he was obviously a little frightened and fearful. Up.

He dare not move forward because he is worried that if he leaves his position, Cristiano Ronaldo will seize the opportunity, or fight back from his defense, or even score a goal.

Gattuso took the opportunity of a dead ball and told Abate that he and Flamini were in the midfield and they were in the midfield. As long as he returned to the defense as soon as the offense lost the ball, it would be fine. The teammates didn't seem to trust him.

This made Gattuso feel depressed, and even had the urge to tear off the captain's armband and throw Abate on the face.

Since there is no prestige at all, what do you need this armband for?

"We can't keep it like this at all!"

Finally, after entering thirty minutes, Gattuso once shoveled David Silva on defense and shouted at his teammates.

But no one listened to him at all.

Pirlo is not there, Ambrosini is injured, Kaka is on the opposite side of the game. In the AC Milan midfield at the peak of the year, only Gattuso and Seedorf were left, and the Dutch fell into Isolated and helpless situation.

No one knows the horror of the high cold better than Gattuso!

In the face of an alpine team, blindly defending is simply unstoppable.

But the problem is that no one listens to him at all.

Also right, today's AC Milan is no longer the invincible Rossoneri that crossed Europa back then.

Now this group of people in the team are either old-fashioned or lacking courage. They have not experienced everything in the past. Naturally, they have no confidence and confidence. In addition, they have been suppressed by Inter Milan all the year round in Serie A, making them even more lacking. confidence.

"Be careful to fight back!"

In the crowded San Siro stadium, Seedorf's exclamation suddenly came.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Modric cut the ball from Seedorf and pass it directly to the right.

Sanchez took the ball and cut to the right, Flamini chased it for the first time.

"I'm so crazy!"

Gattuso was taken aback, and quickly ran over.

Sanchez hit the right side, with Jankulowski and Thiago Silva. The problem is not big, but Flamini rushed over, although it is possible to form a double team, but what about Kaka in the middle?

"Watch out for the Portuguese!"

Gattuso reminded Abate, he rushed to the top of the arc.

Sure enough, before he could say anything, Sanchez rushed to the encirclement and crossed the ball to Kaka.

The Brazilian took the ball forward as soon as he received the ball, and Gattuso rushed over to get close.

But at this moment, Kaka suddenly stopped and swiped the ball horizontally with his right foot.

"Be careful on the left!" Gattuso reacted the fastest, shouting loudly for the first time.

The ball crossed into the top of the arc along the penalty zone line, where Cristiano Ronaldo was standing and waiting.

As soon as Kaka's pass arrived, the Portuguese immediately stopped in the penalty area, and the whole person started to catch up.

Abate’s position was a bit close to Nesta just now, and he let the entire left side out. At this time, he woke up and turned to catch up, but after Cristiano Ronaldo caught up with the ball, he cleverly blocked it with his body. Abate.

Abbiati realized the danger and went out to block the angle.

But he was fast, Cristiano Ronaldo was even faster and volleyed directly.

Abbiati flew to the rescue for the first time, but recently the Portuguese with extremely hot toes drew the ball directly into the goal.

The ac Milan players were protesting against Benzema's offside, but the referee still blew the whistle of the goal.

Because Benzema has not participated in the offense from start to finish.

The whole San Siro stadium was silent and fell into deathly silence.

Gattuso panted heavily, looking at the annoyed Abate, and then at the frustrated Flamini, he really didn't know what to say.

At this time, it is difficult for him to blame his teammates.

…………

…………

The first half ended with Manchester City leading one to zero.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was a big blow to AC Milan.

The Rossoneri were in a passive defensive posture throughout the game. They were unable to make a strong counterattack. They had three shots, but they were all blocked by Manchester City players, and they were unable to threaten Cech's goal.

On the contrary, it is Manchester City, the offensive is like a tide, firmly controlling the situation on the field.

It can be said that this game allowed ac Milan from the coach, players and fans to personally experience the strength gap between themselves and the top European teams. This is too far apart.

Allegri obviously lacked effective methods for this, so that after changing sides in the second half, AC Milan's overall performance still did not improve at all, while Manchester City continued to control everything on the court and kept using passes. Advantages to create opportunities to put pressure on AC Milan's goal.

Finally, at the 63rd minute of the game, Sanchez on the right slammed Jankulovsky and crossed to the front of the penalty area. Kaka stopped the ball and avoided Flamini and took a long shot. .

Abbiati got a very good position this time, but in the face of Kaka’s sudden long shot, he could not hold the ball and could only hit the ball out. After being followed by Kaka, he used his body. After blocking Thiago Silva and holding the ball with his back, he knocked to the left again.

Cristiano Ronaldo only caught up again at this time, with a straight volley with his right foot, the ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal, two to zero!

After scored twice, Cristiano Ronaldo looked very excited.

With seven goals scored in two games, the Portuguese's goal momentum can be described as uncontrollable.

This estimate is not only affected by the defeat of the national team, but also because of the upcoming FIFA Golden Globe Awards.

This is the first time after the merger of the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer. It is also the battle between Cristiano Ronaldo who played for Manchester City and Messi who played for Barcelona in La Liga.

Both players have also shown a very hot state recently, obviously holding back their energy.

However, Gao Han did not intend to let Cristiano Ronaldo continue.

According to team doctor David Fafrey’s request, Cristiano Ronaldo can only play for up to 60 minutes in September, otherwise he can only play once a week, so Alpine soon used Gareth Bale to defeat Cristiano. Ronaldo replaced.

After the Welshman came on the field, Gao Han began to deliberately adjust the team's tactical play. He asked Harvey Alonso to retreat the overall formation, leaving an offensive space in front, allowing Gareth Bale to sway himself. The advantages.

The adjustment of the alpine has given Gareth Bale more swing space and frequent opportunities to get the ball on the left. The Welshman also hit AC Milan's defense several times after taking the ball, and his performance has been greatly improved than before. But ac Milan's right back Abate is also a degree player, and it is difficult for Gareth Bale to take advantage of this aspect.

Later, Gao Han moved Gareth Bale to the right and Sanchez to the left.

As a result, both players in this substitution survived.

Sanchez played more active on the left ~www.readwn.com~ especially when it was in the interior, and Gareth Bale had a very eye-catching ball in the face of Jankulovsky. , Utilization ate Yankulovsky abruptly.

But although Manchester City played quite active on the offensive end, they never managed to score again.

Alpine’s team left 65.6 percent of the ball in this game, 36 shots on goal, 16 on target, and 91 percent of the pass. Rates and other amazing data.

But AC Milan only took a mere seven shots in the entire game, was blocked six times, and shot a miss, not even one that directly threatened Cech's shot.

Obviously, the score of two to zero does not truly reflect the gap between the two teams on the field.
