Chapter 409 There Is Still a Fight! [The Third Update, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]

It seemed that he was completely awakened by Yang Yang's goal.

After falling behind by a goal, AC Milan played significantly more aggressively, and the threat on the offensive end was also greater.

Just four minutes after Yang Yang scored, AC Milan made a threatening attack.

Seedorf made a direct pass from the middle. After Shevchenko got the ball, he rubbed the outer instep of his right foot to make a wonderful pass on the left side of the penalty area.

Gilardino headed the goal from close range in the small penalty area in the middle to equalize the score for AC Milan.

This goal also completely ignited AC Milan's offensive passion.

All the fans at the San Siro stadium also cheered wildly.

...

In the 35th minute, it was another pass from Seedorf. Shevchenko broke into the left side of the penalty area again. Facing Heitinga's defense, the Ukrainian center suddenly fell to the ground. Heitinga angrily accused Shevchen Branch diving.

Although the referee finally signaled the game to continue, he did not penalize the Ukrainian for diving.

Judging from the slow-motion replay of the game, Shevchenko is indeed suspected of diving.

But just one minute later, after the continuous cooperation of Seedorf and Shevchenko on the left, Kaka assisted Kaka with a right-footed shot, and once again broke the goal of Ajax and reversed the score.

After Kaka scored the goal, he rushed out of the court with great excitement, and along the way stretched out his fingers and pointed in the air, chanting words in his mouth.

This is his signature goal celebration, pray!

But AC Milan's offensive is still continuing.

...

In the 41st minute, it was another through ball from Seedorf on the left. After Kaka accelerated and passed Heitinga on the left side of the penalty area, he crossed to the middle. Shevchenko followed and pushed calmly in front of the goal. hit.

Three to one!

AC Milan scored three goals in just ten minutes.

The whole San Siro stadium cheered wildly.

If it is said that in the first 20 minutes, AC Milan firmly controlled the situation on the field, but still failed to break the goal of Ajax, then in the last ten minutes, the Rossoneri used iron like iron. Facts tell Ajax why they can become Champions League runners-up.

They controlled the first half of the game almost firmly, leaving little chance for Ajax.

At the same time, everyone has to admit that AC Milan's left wing is indeed full of attack power.

All three goals were planned from the left, completely blowing Ajax's right.

Controlling the ball and rhythm on the field, AC Milan can continuously plan more and more threatening attacks.

…………

…………

From one to zero to one to three, in just 20 minutes, Ajax seemed to fall from heaven into hell.

Back in the dressing room, Ajax's players looked downbeat and lacklustre.

It's not surprising that from one goal ahead to two goals behind, everyone will feel uncomfortable.

Yang Yang is the same.

This is the first time he really feels that Ajax may have a hard time going far.

The gap in strength is really huge. Whether it is the overall strength or the competition of each position, Ajax is a little behind AC Milan, and there are not many players in the team who can really compete with AC Milan.

The back line performed very poorly in this game, especially in the central defender position. Heitinga was really overwhelmed at this point.

Fermaelen is still relatively young, plus he has no advantage in defending highball, and he did not play well in this game.

As for the offensive end, he also didn't give a good performance, and Pinar on the left still lacked sharpness.

If the left flank can create more pressure on AC Milan, then Yang Yang will be much easier on the right flank.

But now the left flank is a little weak. AC Milan started to strengthen the defense on the right flank after conceding the goal, which put a lot of pressure on Yang Yang.

But sometimes, football games are like that.

It is impossible for Yang Yang to accuse his teammates of this. After all, they are either not in ideal condition, or they have tried their best.

Sometimes it's tiring to think about it.

In the past, there were teammates like Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart to help on the offensive line. Although Wesley Sonk was not very efficient in scoring goals, he was fast, flexible and able to share the pressure. .

But now, it's all gone.

All the pressure was pushed to Yang Yang at once, especially in games like the Champions League, which really made him feel overwhelmed.

But he doesn't regret the choice he made, nor does he blame his teammates.

Didn't he choose to stay at Ajax to prove himself?

Is there anything more capable of proving one's strength than now?

As the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League, he was able to lead Ajax all the way to the quarter-finals, and no matter what the next results were, he did not disappoint anyone.

Especially against Real Madrid, the hat-trick at the Bernabeu was enough to prove his worth.

Now, every step he takes is just to push himself to a corner and squeeze out all his potential.

At this moment, he is also very clear that the morale of the team must not be leaked!

This breath is let out, and the second half really doesn't have to be played!

...

"Everyone has raised their spirits, we are not yet downcast."

Yang Yang stood up from his seat and said forcefully, inspiring the strength of the team.

"We have a valuable away goal and we are two goals behind. This situation is not the end of the world. The most important thing for us now is to stabilize our defense."

"Yang Yang is right, the top priority is to stabilize the defense." Sneijder also stood up to encourage his teammates.

Heitinga, who was the first to bear the brunt, was a little embarrassed, but he still stood up bravely and said that his state was indeed not ideal, but he would definitely adjust himself in time, and he would continue to work hard in the second half to strive for a better performance.

Yang Yang also showed the bearing that a captain should have. Not only did he not accuse Haitinga, but he believed that he had done his best.

"Defending is everyone's business in our team, conceding three goals, none of us have the right to blame others."

Yang Yang's maintenance moved Haitinga very much, not only because of their personal friendship, but also because of the overall situation of the team.

At halftime, the coaching staff will not easily make substitutions.

Making a substitution at this time is tantamount to shirking all the responsibilities in the first half to this player, which is not fair to anyone.

Since there will be no substitutions, it is necessary to adjust the morale of the team.

This is Yang Yang's attitude.

Ronald Koeman also walked into the locker room at this time, and he also fully recognized Yang Yang's statement.

"There is still the second half of the game. We are far from downcast. Don't forget, our pre-match statistics show that AC Milan's second half is when they most often make mistakes."

Ronald Koeman's remarks are a good reminder for the players in the dressing room.

According to the statistics of the Ajax coaching staff, in AC Milan's Serie A rankings this season, if only in the first half, the Rossoneri is the Serie A champion, scoring the most goals and conceding the least, the only big one. The problem is that the tie is a little too much.

But the victory is very stable, and has maintained an unbeaten record in the first half.

But if it only talks about the second half, it will be greatly discounted immediately.

AC Milan's second-half results ranked third in Serie A, but they lost as many as ten games and drew nine games.

Of course, if you only talk about the second half and don't combine reality, such data is meaningless.

But this can fully prove one thing, and that is AC Milan's performance in the first half is always much better than the second half.

On the other hand, among the other two teams in the top three in Serie A, Juventus was the most stable overall. The first half and the second half were very close, and the second half of Inter Milan was even better than the first half.

A very important reason for AC Milan's very different performance in the first and second half is the team's physical fitness.

After Ronald Koeman said this, the Ajax players suddenly regained their confidence.

But just like this is obviously not enough. The team must also come up with a feasible plan at the tactical level.

That's the threat on the left.

Ronald Koeman's opinion is very consistent with Yang Yang. The team's pressure on the opponent on the left side in the first half was obviously not enough.

"AC Milan prefers to hit the ball directly into our penalty area in the attack, which was very obvious in the first half, the intention is very simple, it can create better shooting opportunities in the penalty area, Shevchenko, Kaka and Gilardino are both good players in this regard."

"And we have to shrink properly and use intensive defense, especially our middle lane, we have to keep the front of the penalty area."

"In addition, when attacking, we also need to put more pressure on our opponents on the left. Pinar needs to be more active, press Gattuso more, put more pressure on their side, then the opportunity on the right. more."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Everyone, this is a protracted battle. The opponent is AC Milan, the strongest team in European football today. We are weak in strength, which requires us to work together and unite."

"We have to hold on in the second half, the longer we hold, the better chance we have!"

AC Milan's physical fitness will be a persistent problem, and the longer it drags on, the more obvious their problems will be.

…………

…………

After changing sides in the second half, Ajax adopted a more resolute contraction defensive tactic.

AC Milan created a chance in the opening four minutes. It was still a cross from the wing. Gilardino headed the goal, but it went a little far from the far post.

The Italian center has already got many header opportunities in this game. If his ability to grasp the header was stronger, Ajax would have been beaten into a sieve.

Subsequently, AC Milan continued to control the situation on the field and created opportunities frequently.

However, due to Ajax's shrinking defense, it was difficult for AC Milan to easily pass the ball into the penalty area at the front of the penalty area, and the three-to-one lead made AC Milan's offense moderately slow down.

The best chance was in the 54th minute. After Kaka received a pass from Shevchenko, he took a long shot from the front of the penalty area, but failed to hit the force and was confiscated by goalkeeper Stekelenburg.

Ronald Koeman also realized that the team had to make adjustments.
