The Ball at Your Feet

Only by fighting a real strong team can people realize their own shortcomings. The inner meaning of this seemingly simple sentence is definitely not so easy to understand. If he was just playing Ligue 1, Zhao Yaning would never have imagined that he would encounter such troubles.

Before playing against Milan, in his opinion, no matter how good Milan is, it is nothing more than a team. Everyone is a team. If you are more capable, you will not be a superman. Where can you be strong? Yes, your stars are even better, but even the best stars are humans, and they cannot escape the laws of physics. What can you do?

But now, he really feels some of the pressure brought by Milan as a European champion.

Milan's game thinking is very clear. They used Gattuso's aggressive running and fierce steals in the middle to suppress Monaco's two midfielders and unable to deliver the ball quickly, thus preventing Monaco from launching a fast break. Then, the positions of Ambrosini and Pirlo further delayed the opponent's offense. At the same time, they had to separate each of the offensive players in Monaco, making it impossible for the wings and the center to complete the side-to-center coordination. Can't reinforce each other. In the final defense, their method is to use their position advantage to prevent Monaco from passing the ball into the penalty area.

And if the Monaco player chooses to force a breakthrough, he must face the defense of Nesta and Costacuta. These two men are top-notch defensive skills, and it is very difficult to break them one-on-one. And if you choose to take a long shot from the outside, then Milan is in the middle. As a goalkeeper, the most outstanding thing about Dida is his excellent reaction speed. It is obviously difficult to break the gate he guards with a long shot.

The interlocking defensive system is something more terrifying than a player with excellent personal ability. Make full use of everyone's technical advantages and use teammates to make up for their own players' shortcomings. This tactical construction ability is where the top coach's tactical system is strong. Ancelotti has been in Serie A for many years and was ridiculed as not knowing any on-the-spot command and what it means to boost morale, but he can still become a world-class coach because of this tactical ability.

On the offensive side, Milan used their technical advantages and the advantages of the two full-backs frequently inserted to exert pressure on Monaco. They are not eager to win, but because they are adjusting their lineup and increasing their running-in. The scene has completely fallen to Milan.

Only in the face of a strong enemy can you realize your own shortcomings. Deschamps is a coach who knows how to organize offenses. He arranged for Zhao Yaning, Jiuli and Roten to cooperate in the frontcourt, using their advantages to make up for each other, thus making Monaco's offensive power extremely sharp. But he is slightly inferior in defense. His defensive philosophy is still based on holding the ball and then playing the ball. Like Ancelotti, he fully understands the characteristics of each person, and Deschamps is still much worse in his ability to fine-tune tactics according to each person's characteristics. Ancelotti's Milan, in both aspects are extremely strong and outstanding, and Monaco can only be said to be a strong offensive and defensive team.

For such a solid line of defense, it seems difficult to break through with personal ability. Since the opponent uses tactics to restrict himself, what he should do is how to use tactics to respond back to the opponent.

Milan is not without weaknesses.

Cafu has just joined the team and has not yet fully integrated into the team, which makes their side lanes have a big problem. Cafu's front insertion is a sharp weapon, but if the ability is used well, it may also be a very good flaw. The midfielder replaced Seedorf. Although Ambrosini made the defense harder, but lacked Seedorf as a lubrication, Pirlo’s organization would also have some shortcomings. His protection and release of the ball. Without Seedorf's assistance, it would appear to be a little less smooth. In the forward line, Inzaghi is not Shepchenko after all. He does not have Sheva's versatility. When he appears in the frontcourt, it means that the team is ready to score. At other times, Milan's frontcourt. In fact, there is one less person, and there are still shortcomings in the frontcourt cooperation.

What's more, how old is Costacuta? If he really shook off his stride, he would definitely not be able to catch up with him. After playing for a season in Monaco, coach Petit every day instills the idea of ​​being a second-rate player with speed. If he doesn't run two steps quickly, his legs will be rusty.

So, how can I play my role? The first step...I should retreat a little deeper and actively pester Pirlo.

Pirlo's organizational talent is indeed world-class. His technique, vision, and consciousness are the best, but he does a little bit worse in getting rid of the ball from the spot. Pushing him close can effectively affect him.

If it is normal, with Seedorf sharing the pressure of Pirlo in the midfield, he can also rely on small-scale cooperation and changing rhythm to get rid of the pressure caused by the opponent. But now, Seedorf has not appeared on the court, and Ambrosini and Gattuso have no ability to help in this regard.

Zhao Yaning's retracement immediately changed the situation. After breaking the ball once, Zhao Yaning speeded up and rushed forward without waiting for Gattuso to come. Ambrosini blocked his breakthrough line. , And Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to Jiuli on the right. Jiuli didn’t stop much, and pushed the ball behind Ambrosini again. Zhao Yaning had already stepped up to catch up with the ball at this time and pulled it horizontally. The foot rushed into the penalty area.

This kind of counterattack initiated directly from the opponent's back line is the most likely attack. As long as the speed is fast enough, no matter how good the line of defense is, it may be torn. But in front of Zhao Yaning, Nesta had already posted, using his body to squeeze Zhao Yaning towards the ribs of the penalty area.

Milan's defenders chose very smartly. They knew that Costacuta would definitely not be able to catch up with Zhao Yaning's speed, so it would be better to let Nesta defend Zhao Yaning. And Nesta's card position is very good, it is difficult for Zhao Yaning to break through no matter where he goes, but at this time, Zhao Yaning does not have to think about breaking through.

He crossed the ball and gave it to Jiuli, who was next to him. After receiving the ball, Jiuli immediately made a long arc of the ball and passed it directly to Pulsau at the far post.

Pulsau jumped high, and a lion shook his head and hit the ball towards the goal.

But at this time, the whistle had already sounded.

Pulsau was offside and the goal was invalid.

"It's my fault," Pulsau was frustrated. Just now when Zhao Yaning passed the ball to Giuly, Costacuta, who was in charge of assisting in the back defense, immediately realized Monaco’s plan. His step back to make an offside put Pulsau in an offside position, which naturally put Monaco’s offside. The attack was stopped.

Very cunning offside, Milan escaped this time, it was completely caused by experience and wisdom.

"It's not your problem, they are too difficult to deal with." Zhao Yaning shook his head helplessly, watching what Ambrosini was discussing with Karadze. He knew that it must be Milan trying to cut off Jiuli and Zhao Yaning. The transfer between them cooperated.

I have to think of an individual way to break Milan's defense.

But his own thinking is not wrong, to strengthen Pirlo, even if it can not really beat Milan, but at least it can affect Milan's defense and offensive and defensive conversion.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaning went to the midfield again and this time, before he walked to Pirlo, he saw Gattuso looking at him unhappy.

"Boy, be careful when playing football. A broken leg is not fun."

His big beard and his playing style make this intimidation quite effective. But Zhao Yaning just smiled, "Then you can try it."

He is not afraid of Gattuso's threat, such a threat has no power at all. It is impossible for Gattuso to play with black feet. Although his looks are fierce and his playing method is also very rough, in fact, he is very smart when he plays. His stealing ability is first-rate and he is decisive. In defense, although he seems rough, he is very measured in the foul scale. These are not something that a rough guy who knows nothing can do.

The reason why he has that big beard and always speaks in a roaring voice when speaking is actually just to deter opponents.

And when he said these things to himself, it proved that his entanglement with Pirlo was completely correct. Pirlo is entangled by himself, Milan can not carry out effective offensive and defensive conversion, and can not better control the rhythm, this situation is very detrimental to Milan.

But how do you score a goal?

When he got the ball again ~www.ltnovel.com~ it was Bernardi who broke the ball and passed it to Zhao Yaning's feet. This time, Gattuso immediately leaned over, Zhao Yaning ran, did two consecutive cycling movements, then accelerated one step, and ran to the right.

This approach of not making a positive breakthrough, but avoiding the opponent and fleeing to the side, made Gattuso rushed over with a curse. Originally, Ambrosini was already waiting in a good position in the middle, but at this time he could only lean on the side. However, Zhao Yaning twisted his body and kicked the ball towards the corner on the left.

Roten ran there and caught the ball passed by Zhao Yaning. But Cafu also returned to defense in time at this time and blocked Rotten in front of him. Roten shook twice and found Cafu unmoved, so he had to pass the ball to Evra behind him. Evra made a cross and gave the ball to Zhao Yaning, who was at the arc of the penalty area.

When Zhao Yaning received the ball, he started to run to the right.

Nesta followed, blocked Zhao Yaning and prevented him from passing the ball to Pulsau in the penalty area.

And at this time, Giuly has rushed to the ribs of the penalty area, and on the other side, Rothen has also walked to the ribs on the left, Cafu is still watching him, but this time, the Monaco players inserted all the way. It really made Milan nervous.

Pulsau can't, there is Costacuta, Giuly can't, Karadze, and Rothen can't, Cafu looks at him, everyone in the front court is watching, but...

Zhao Yaning suddenly turned around and gave the ball to Maicon, who quickly inserted it from the side to the center.

After receiving the ball, Maicon made a straight kick and gave the ball into the penalty area!

At this time, Zhao Yaning had gotten rid of Nesta's mark. When he received the ball, he directly pushed the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.

"Gooooal!!!"
