Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 59 Tonight's Italy Belongs to AC Milan! [Big Guys, Please Subscribe! ]

Many Serie A fans have actually thought about the general trend of this focus game tonight in advance.

Milan has the advantage of lineup against Napoli, but Napoli also has Cavani, the hottest super shooter in Serie A.

If the two teams play more freely at the beginning, the ability of both sides to seize opportunities should be 50-50.

If they play more conservatively, Napoli should be able to hold on to 0-0 with Milan for half a game with all the main players in the midfield and backcourt.

But they didn't expect that Milan's first real offensive attempt in just the thirteenth minute of the opening successfully broke the balance on the field!

The key is that Milan also played a set of counterattack tactics that are completely different from the past.

Ibrahimovic, the main attacker, became a tool man, and Pato became Milan's hidden killer.

And Li Ang and Boateng, the two midfielders who were supposed to be tools, ended up becoming the bright protagonists who inserted from behind!

It's a mess, it's all messed up!

After this set of offensive patterns, not only the fans of Naples were heartbroken and dizzy, but also the supporters of other Serie A teams were dizzy!

And seeing Allegri's passionate and satisfied celebration, but not surprised.

Serie A fans all reacted.

A-Jong has done a big job on the offensive end again in this round of the league!

He really came prepared.

Next to him, the confident Naples coach Mazzarri before the game was the unlucky guy who fell into the trap!

The Italian media reporters who always like to analyze tactical ideas were also stunned.

Allegri has many defensive routines, but at least they can sort out the lines.

But Allegri's offense is either betting on the player's state or doing something new, they are really dizzy, what kind of analysis is this!

Let a young player who only has the ability to attack with headers and a rough midfielder who often swings the ball away to do the finishing point.

Let me ask you, among the current 20 coaches in Serie A, who else can do this besides Allegri? !

The key is that he did it!

In the reality that Milan leads Napoli 1-0 and takes the initiative in the game.

One by one, Italian media reporters can only hold back their complaints and start writing inadvertent compliments in advance.

At this moment, the high-spirited Uncle Jon also opened his voice with full energy, shouting "Return to defense!" as if he was afraid that Mazzarri on the other side could not hear it.

Mazzarri was so angry that he clenched his fists and then released them, and finally had to think about how to break Milan's dense defense with a headache.

Lavezzi's injury seemed extremely fatal to Napoli at this moment.

The Argentine striker's small skills and threatening passing ability are just the perfect trick to break the bus.

Now without Lavezzi's breakthrough on the flank and the ability to tear the defense line, Mazzarri is afraid that he will not be able to play a good offensive effect relying solely on Hamsik to provide support to Cavani.

As for the other starting striker Mascara?

He was originally bought to be a substitute for Cavani or Lavezzi.

Expecting such a veteran who only scored one goal in Catania in the first half of the league to explode?

Mazzarri felt that he might as well pin his hopes on the mistakes of Milan's midfielders and backcourt players.

But the key is, will Milan, which has always emphasized defensive stability, make low-level mistakes and give Naples a chance?

After the game resumed, Milan actively returned to its own half and tightened its formation. With a tight stranglehold defense, Mazzarri's expectations were directly shattered.

Allegri didn't want to give Naples even a little chance.

And Li Ang, who gave Naples a great "surprise" today, also used his outstanding performance on the defensive end to make all Naples fans hate him!

In the 17th minute of the first half, Naples, who was pressing forward, advanced on the left side of Milan.

Right wingback Maggio was about to go to the bottom with the ball under the cover of Hamsik.

But Li Ang, who retreated early to fill in for Antonini, said "No!" to Napoli with a decisive foul tackle.

Less than three minutes after Napoli's set-piece was disrupted by Nesta's steal.

Li Ang again defended in the middle, and together with the retreating Boateng, he double-teamed Hamsik who was dribbling the ball and forced him to pass back. Napoli's offensive attempt ended in vain!

In the 24th minute, Li Ang stopped the Napoli midfielder Gargano who suddenly advanced with a pull foul.

In the 26th minute, Li Ang won the header competition with Mascara

Milan's defense may not have Li Ang everywhere, but as long as it is a key defense that can interrupt Napoli's offensive rhythm, Li Ang will basically arrive on time to "help out".

Hamsik, who played against Li Ang on the right side of Napoli, experienced what "torture" means today.

He originally thought that he was already able to run well among the younger generation of players, but he didn't expect that Li Ang could run faster than him!

After Napoli lost Lavezzi, he had to think of more ways to organize the offense in the frontcourt.

But now that Li Ang was entangled, Hamsik didn't even try to help Cavani find opportunities.

Milan used the ball that Li Ang snatched from him to make several highly threatening counterattack attempts.

Li Ang on the left, Gattuso on the right, and Boateng who actively returned to defense to assist in double-teaming.

Milan's three midfielders simply strangled the game after they scored in the first half, and there was no smoothness at all.

But the fans of Milan were quite excited.

They sang the Milan team song enthusiastically and happily, over and over again, making the Naples players impatient.

However, to be on the safe side, Uncle Jon did not gamble and increase the offensive when Naples's play was chaotic in the first half.

Without his words, Pirlo did not actively try to find opportunities for long passes to counterattack, but only occasionally came up with it.

For most of the rest of the time, Master Pi also ran actively for defense with Li Ang.

He and Gattuso's physical consumption was indeed more serious than before, but Milan's defensive hardness and tenacity were also beyond normal levels.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the half, Milan's defense only allowed Naples to get two shots on the goal frame.

Cavani, the second-highest striker in the Serie A scorer list, only got one shot in the first half, which made many Naples fans feel disappointed!

Such a defensive suppression scene is enough to show that Milan's overall strength is much better than Naples.

Milan led Naples 1-0 in the thirteenth minute of the opening, and Naples, who had more than thirty minutes of attacking time.

In the end, Milan was left behind in terms of the number of shots!

This is simply outrageous!

What is the less confident the more you play, today's Naples is a good example.

The offense can't go up, and the defense has no confidence to lock Milan. After wasting half a game, the morale of the entire Naples team is greatly damaged.

But Mazzarri didn't dare to let the team "slow down" at this time.

Now almost all other teams in Serie A understand one thing, that is, they really can't slow down when Milan scores a goal.

Milan's current defense is really too good. If you slow down, you will easily be dragged into the strangling rhythm they like by Milan.

Mazzarri is naturally well aware of this, and he doesn't want to give up this opportunity to snipe Milan personally.

So he could only force his players to encourage themselves during the halftime break.

Let them keep fighting for Napoli's championship hopes and don't give up the desire to win the game easily.

At least they still have a half-time to make up for the previous tactical mistakes.

Perhaps Mazzarri's encouragement played a corresponding role.

Or perhaps the Napoli team originally had the spirit of not admitting defeat.

At the beginning of the second half, Napoli really succeeded in launching a fierce wave of counterattacks.

Cavani took the initiative to withdraw to the wing to help his teammates advance with the ball.

And when Maggio and Dossena, the two wingbacks, also took the risk of advancing significantly, Napoli relied on the temporary advantage of the number of offensive players to launch a continuous threatening offensive.

At least on the Milan side, goalkeeper Abbiati was indeed busy at this time.

Allegri saw that the situation was a little wrong, and made a prompt decision to directly replace Gattuso and Pirlo, who had consumed more energy today, with Seedorf and Van Bommel.

At this time, he did not use Li Ang to play as a back midfielder.

Van Bommel was a substitute for Pirlo, while Leon still played in the left midfield. The work of organizing the backcourt was handed over to Seedorf, an all-around warrior.

After the substitution, Milan's defensive hardness in the midfield was greatly improved.

Before, Leon had to take into account Master Pirlo behind him, and he always had to divide his energy to protect the middle and defend, and he didn't dare to easily expand the sweep area to the right.

But now with Van Bommel pulling back to clean up the mess, Leon's concerns are gone.

"Urine test, urine test must be done after the game! Isn't that kid tired at all? Why do I feel that he can run more! This is not normal!"

Watching Leon use more hard defense to sweep and assist his teammates to once again suppress the offensive rhythm of Naples.

A Naples fan in the stands couldn't stand it anymore and yelled like venting.

But the other Naples fans standing next to him at this moment were in no mood to agree with him.

Before, Leon ran 13 kilometers in more than 70 minutes without being questioned by his opponents.

It must have been checked after the game, and the results showed that Li Ang was completely fine.

It is rare to find such a fast midfielder in football, but it is not uncommon.

It is normal for one or two Naples fans to vent and complain occasionally, but if they question Li Ang's use of drugs together, it will only bring discredit to the Naples club.

Naples fans with brains are still the majority at this moment.

It is okay to boo Milan players, but it is too embarrassing to target a young player who is not even 20 years old. It is totally unnecessary.

But scolding is still necessary.

But compared with the more than 60,000 Milan fans at the scene, the scolding and booing of these few people are still too weak.

The Milan players, who have the advantage of home court, can hardly feel the "malice" from the Naples fans.

In the almost uninterrupted cheering and cheering songs of more than 60,000 Rossoneri, they are getting braver and braver.

It was almost 70 minutes into the second half, and it seemed that their offense had not improved much.

Mazzarri also reached a difficult moment when he had to make a decision.

There is no way to delay.

Under the premise that he thought there were no major problems with the starting lineup, Mazzarri could only signal his disciples to press forward!

"Hold on to their attack in the middle! I'm on the left, Hamsik can't get through!"

Li Ang shouted a warning to the retreating Boateng and Van Bommel, and also gave them a reassurance.

The two of them just need to block Napoli's central advance, and at most help Seedorf to defend.

He guarded the right side of Napoli's main attack, and he was confident that with the help of Antonini, he could withstand the impact of Hamsik and Maggio.

The task was difficult, but Li Ang estimated his remaining physical strength and had a bottom line in his heart.

Besides, Milan did not have to defend blindly.

Ibrahimovic and Pato had been "resting" for so long, and it was time for them to work hard!

The game entered a white-hot stage at this time, and the players on both sides fought much harder than before.

In the increasingly angry game, Li Ang's actions were fierce, but he did not forget the earnest advice given to him by Brother Long when he was about to leave the team.

"You can provoke your opponent's nerves and use seemingly reckless actions to anger them, but don't really let your emotions influence your judgment of the game trend. As a defensive midfielder, we can't lose control because of our emotions. If we lose control once, the price may be a total loss. Observe more, think more, and be more restrained."

After taking a deep breath, Li Ang continued to look for opportunities that may appear and disappear at any time on the field where enemy and friendly players were intertwined.

In the 81st minute of the second half, Seedorf tried to make a counterattack long pass after intercepting the ball.

But this time Cannavaro did not give Pato another chance, and took the lead to head the ball back to the midfield.

Pato, who had just started, returned in vain and made an ordinary position change with Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic, who retreated, went to the right, while Pato paced to the left.

For Naples, defensive midfielder Gargano quickly passed the ball to Hamsik who came back to respond.

The Slovak midfielder didn't want to waste any more time, so he tried to find Maggio who was going to advance with a diagonal pass.

But just as the ball was rolling forward smoothly, a figure fell to the ground and intercepted the ball, which made the cheers from the Naples fans stop abruptly!

Tackle to keep the ball!

Li Ang used a defensive skill that Milan fans are familiar with to help Milan regain the ball again!

In the next second, Li Ang, who got up, did not pass the ball back safely, but directly ran forward along the left side with the ball!

His speed seemed too abrupt on the field at this moment.

Maggio couldn't catch up with him, and Hamsik, the first player from Naples to intercept, was caught by him and passed by!

"Leon is running! He can still run! At least faster than the Napoli midfielders. Gargano and Hamsik are going to double-team him!"

The commentator of Sky Sports Italy used a tense and rapid commentary speed to make countless Milan fans in front of the TV anxious!

Leon's physical advantage was magnified at this moment.

When others can't run anymore, he can still run. Even if he runs just a little faster than his opponent, he can create a huge threat of plugging in!

Pato subconsciously started to move forward next to Napoli's retreating central defender Campalonia.

His original intention was to help Leon contain the Napoli defender on this side.

But he didn't expect that at the moment when Hamsik and Gargano were about to double-team Leon, Leon also chose to make a diagonal pass!

Hamsik was shocked!

Camalonia didn't expect it at all!

Leon, plug in and send a straight pass? !

Pato was stunned, but his super reaction and super fast burst speed still allowed him to overtake Campalonia in a delayed situation.

This straight pass came from the side, passing a strange arc that first expanded outward and then retracted inward.

Campalonia thought it was not good, and decisively put down a shovel to try to intercept, but in the end he didn't even touch the ball skin!

Pato faced the football that almost perfectly slid towards his forward trajectory without any hesitation.

After suppressing his excitement, he took the ball and adjusted his pace, and then shot directly into the far corner of the goal!

De Sanctis quickly went to the ground to make a save, but Pato's volley chose to hit the upper corner of the goal!

Knowing that his prediction was wrong, De Sanctis could only stretch out his other arm in vain, trying to make a final save.

But this time, the goddess of luck did not favor him.

Perhaps, after Li Ang bravely made the decision to move forward, good luck no longer belonged to Naples!

When the ball crossed the line and hit the net, Pato turned around with a ferocious face and roared and hugged Leon, and the whole San Siro was shaken and crazy again!

Italy, England, Spain, Germany, France.

Hundreds of commentators from different countries shouted passionately at this moment!

For the brave Leon, for the outstanding Pato, and for the tenacious Milan!

Under the night sky, under the pressure of the huge "wave" of red and black figures in San Siro, the Naples people's hope of winning the championship was shattered!

Mazzari smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Cavani looked at the crazy celebrating Milan players with his hands on his waist in confusion on the field.

Hamsik lifted his jersey to cover his face with self-blame.

The fans of Naples could no longer boo or curse.

And the other neutral fans of Serie A who watched this game knew that the game was over!

Italy tonight belongs to AC Milan!
