Chapter 580 He is too fast! [Please support me with a guaranteed monthly ticket! ]
Although Bayern decided to continue with high-pressure pressing, it does not mean that Heynckes did not make adjustments to the defense.
He asked the defenders to pay more attention to getting into position in time and asked the midfielders to strengthen the protection of the defense line, especially Schweinsteiger and Mascherano. He asked the two midfielders to keep an eye on Kaka and not let Kaka dribble forward recklessly.
In addition, Modric's position is also further forward, mainly targeting Pirlo.
Su Dong will also retreat appropriately when he has no ball to put some pressure on Pirlo.
After doing all this, Bayern's defense was barely stable.
After AC Milan tried several more long passes, they found that Bayern had adjusted in time and the long pass was not very threatening because neither Pato nor Inzaghi in front could get the ball in front of Bayern's defense.
Therefore, the Rossoneri turned to the passing and controlling method in which they were more adept.
Infiltrating through the ground is exactly what Bayern wants them to do.
The Bundesliga team continued to maintain a fast-paced, high-pressure tactic to put pressure on AC Milan, while on the other hand focusing on clamping down on Kaka and Pirlo. In this way, AC Milan's passing advancement was greatly affected.
The previous 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation mainly depended on the presence of Seedorf, but now Seedorf is not there. Pato is more likely to be in the front or to be pulled to the wing. The support for the midfield is not strong enough, and there is no way to effectively connect the midfield and frontcourt.
AC Milan was out of touch in the midfield and frontcourt under Bayern's high-pressure defense.
When the Rossoneri's attack was frustrated, Bayern began to exert their strength in counterattack.
In the 31st minute, Pepe successfully intercepted the ball from Inzaghi in the backcourt and quickly kicked it to the midfield.
Schweinsteiger passed the ball forward and it reached Ribery on the left.
Ribery dribbled the ball on the left, and under the close defense of Oddo, he stumbled and almost lost it, but he took advantage of the situation and cut inside laterally, attracted the attention of the defense, and then redistributed the ball to the left to Marcelo who came in from behind.
Bayern's left-back received a pass from Ribery just after crossing the center line and dribbled straight towards Oddo.
Su Dong was originally on the left side of the center, ready to support Ribery, but when he saw that Ribery couldn't pass the ball, the ball returned to the left, and Marcelo dribbled forward and approached Oddo, he immediately changed his mind, pointed to the left side of the penalty area, and started quickly.
Marcelo understood what he meant and after getting the ball, he made a lob pass to the left side of AC Milan's penalty area.
Su Dong stopped the ball with his back to the penalty area, and Nesta was stuck behind him on the right, just to prevent him from turning around. Oddo also abandoned Marcelo and returned to defense to cooperate with Nesta to double-team Su Dong.
Su Dong first took a step to the outside, then suddenly pulled the ball and turned around, and before Nesta, he poked the ball into the penalty area with his right foot. He started quickly and passed between Nesta and Oddo.
Nesta couldn't stop Su Dong, so he immediately reached out and pulled him hard, trying to stop Su Dong.
Su Dong was pulled so hard that he was stunned, but he quickly broke free from Nesta's entanglement and dribbled the ball into AC Milan's penalty area.
As soon as he entered the penalty area, Gattuso rushed in front of Su Dong.
Su Dong was shocked and immediately intercepted the ball, avoiding Gattuso, but before he could adjust, Maldini blocked him, and Nesta and Oddo behind him also surrounded him.
Alone, even if Su Dong had two wings, it would be difficult for him to fly out of the encirclement of four AC Milan defenders. He did not hesitate and decisively seized the opportunity to pass the ball back to the front of the penalty area . Ribery followed up at this time, and stopped at the left side of the penalty area to meet Su Dong's pass. After adjusting, he kicked with his right foot and kicked a powerful long shot.
Ribery's shot was very powerful, but the angle was too focused and it just hit the post and went out of the bottom line.
The French scarface slapped his forehead in frustration.
What a great opportunity!
Su Dong attracted four defensive players by himself, which created a godsend opportunity for Ribery, but he wasted it.
Ribery raised his hands towards Su Dong dejectedly, expressing his guilt.
Su Dong waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.
Behind him, Nesta, Gattuso, Maldini and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
"This kid looks tall and strong, but he moves like a loach. If you're not careful, he will slip through you and you won't be able to stop him." Nesta said with lingering fear.
This time he used both his hands and feet and was almost going to commit a foul, but he still couldn't stop it.
Gattuso was also very depressed. "I had such a good chance to steal the ball, but I don't know if he had eyes on the side. He actually stopped the ball before me, causing me to rush over the ball."
"It's worthy of being Su Dong!" Maldini also praised, "Everyone, be alert. If you are not careful, you may really concede a goal."
The Milan captain has seen countless famous stars throughout his career. Facing talented superstars such as Ronaldo and Zidane, he is not inferior to them. But this time, maybe because of his old age, he actually felt a little scared.
He always felt that if Su Dong continued to play like this, problems would arise sooner or later.
But can AC Milan play in a huddle? This is their home ground! Although Serie A teams are always conservative, is it reasonable for them to play in a huddle in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final?
Besides, even if we shrink, can we hold on?
…
After being threatened by Bayern, AC Milan also made an appropriate counterattack.
Both sides knew very well that although the game seemed to be in a stalemate, it was actually full of dangers and the deadlock could be broken at any time.
No one wants to be the one that loses the ball, but no one is willing to actively change their playing style.
To put it bluntly, in this kind of strong dialogue, whoever changes his playing style first may fall into a disadvantage.
Therefore, AC Milan added some on-the-spot counter-attacks in the midfield and frontcourt.
Bayern was a little confused at the beginning, but they quickly adapted.
If it were in the past, such as last season, Bayern would have had a hard time facing such pressing, but this season is different. Bayern's midfield technical skills have improved greatly. Even when facing the high-intensity pressing of Barcelona, they can quickly transfer the ball to a safe place, let alone the pressing of this level from AC Milan?
In the 39th minute, Bayern intercepted the ball in the backcourt and AC Milan counterattacked on the spot.
After several consecutive passes, the ball was first transferred to the right side, but Pato and Kaka also chased to the right side, so Bayern could only pass the ball back and transfer it to the left side.
After passing the ball back and forth, AC Milan's players also slowed down, and Ribery ran into a gap near the center line and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
After getting the ball, the French scarface player quickly dribbled forward and launched a quick counterattack.
Su Dong in front quickly moved to the left to share the defensive attention with Ribery.
When Ribery rushed to the outside of the penalty area, AC Milan's defensive players surrounded him, but successfully poked the ball away from Ribery's feet. However, Modric, who was following behind him, stopped the ball first and quickly passed it to the left.
Su Dong stopped the ball with his chest and Oddo ran over to defend immediately.
One on one!
Su Dong just stopped the ball and without waiting for Oddo to get into position, he made a fake move to confuse his opponent and quickly cut inside with the ball.
Oddo had just arrived when he saw a figure flash before his eyes. Before he could react, he was broken through by Su Dong.
Milan's right back cursed in his heart, but he was not in a hurry because he knew that Nesta would be behind him.
Sure enough, Nesta was right behind Oddo and stepped forward to block Su Dong immediately.
But Su Dong increased his speed, cut inside and accelerated before kicking the ball, breaking through Nesta's defense horizontally. Before Pirlo got close, he used all his strength with his right foot to kick a curved ball.
Neither the fans at the scene nor the viewers in front of the TV had time to see clearly what was happening. They only saw Su Dong get the ball on the left, quickly cut inside, accelerated to break away from Nesta, and then shot with a powerful right foot.
The arc ball was powerful and headed straight for the upper right corner of the goal.
Karachi was standing on the left side, and although he tried his best to dive sideways, the distance was too far and he was out of reach.
The ball went into the net! "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"In the 40th minute of the first half, Su Dong scored the first goal for Bayern!"
"It was a very exciting and quick counterattack. Su Dong dribbled the ball inside from the left and shot a curve ball with his right foot, scoring a wonderful curve ball that went straight into the blind corner of the goal!"
"It's incredible!"
"Sudon was very active throughout the first half. He continued his excellent performances against Arsenal and Barcelona, constantly harassing and threatening AC Milan's goal."
“Finally, near the end of the first half, Su Dong finally seized the opportunity!”
Nesta and Maldini watched Su Dong running away helplessly, listening to the cheers of Bayern players, feeling depressed.
They had tried their best, but still couldn't stop the ferocious Su Dong.
He is too fast!
His footwork is so good! More importantly, almost every shot he made was aimed at the blind corner, which made it hard to defend against!
Maldini was the most depressed because he had a premonition just now.
In fact, if it was Su Dong instead of Ribery standing at the front of the penalty area in the left-wing attack just now, that attack would have been successful.
Of course, if it was Ribery who had the ball, he probably wouldn't have been able to plan such a shooting opportunity.
But unexpectedly, Su Dong would take the field personally.
This shot was completely beyond the expectations of Nesta and Maldini. Su Dong's grasp of the timing of the shot could be said to be perfect.
We were one goal behind, and at home, a valuable away goal!
The situation is very unfavorable for AC Milan now.
It's not a desperate situation yet, but if the situation cannot be reversed quickly and Bayern really leaves with a one-goal lead, the second leg of the game will be in danger.
…
AC Milan players began to worry about gains and losses, but Bayern players were jubilant and excited beyond words.
Bayern's fast-paced style of play is very exhausting for the players and is also a test of willpower and fighting spirit, but AC Milan did not let Bayern gain any advantage throughout the first half.
This also made many Bayern players very depressed, especially when they saw Ribery miss a good opportunity just now, which was even more depressing.
But now it's good, Su Dong scored a goal! Bayern is leading by one goal, there is hope for this game!
