Chapter 294 The old demon fights the little demon
"Shot!"
William directly pulled the ball with his front foot!
Bang!
The ball was extremely powerful, and in just one moment, it hit the AC Milan goal.
"The ball went in! The Donetsk Miners equalized the score. William scored the goal. This goal came from Xu Qi's assist! Xu Qi broke through Ambrosini and Thiago Silva on the side, completely tearing open the defense line of AC Milan, and then gave William an extremely exquisite pass. The ball was too strong!" Liu Jianhong was naturally very excited, especially seeing Xu Qi's performance at this level, he couldn't help but be excited.
"Our Xu Qi, our pride!" Liu Jianhong's voice even trembled.
On the TV, William ran to the corner flagpole and completed his celebration. Then he turned around, pointed at Xu Qi, waited for Xu Qi to run to him, and jumped directly onto him!
With a one-to-one score, this situation is better for the Donetsk Miners, after all, they have a away goal.
Moreover, the Donetsk Miners scored the first goal through their offense, which was like a bottle opener. After that, their offense will definitely be more confident and more capable!
"Hehe, AC Milan is still in trouble at this time. Their interception ability is not enough. Although Beckham actually retreated very actively to assist in the defense, Beckham is more on the wing, with Pirlo and Ambrocsini in the middle, which seems a little difficult when facing the counterattack." Zhang Lu and Director Zhang commented: "This ball seems to be Xu Qi's breakthrough on the wing to complete a quick counterattack, but in fact AC Milan's defense in the middle is not fast enough, which has caused Xu Qi's pass to be given to William's feet very clearly."
Zhang Lu's comments are very clear, but his accent is not very clear. He is used to pronunciating "ac Milan" as "a West Milan".
AC Milan seemed a little disappointed after the score was tied.
However, they also realized that their opponents were not weak, so they were quite calm after starting the ball again in the middle circle.
This goal is more beneficial to the miners, so it also gives the miners some confidence. In fact, during this period, many media and all aspects are emitting a thought that the Donetsk miners are not as good as AC Milan.
After all, AC Milan has more stars and a giant team. In addition, Serie A media believe that AC Milan finally draws Donetsk Miners as the top draw, so they also feel very stressed.
However, they are no worse than AC Milan, who is the opponent.
In the first half of the game, both sides also created opportunities in the next ten minutes, but they were not sure.
AC Milan has two super central defenders, and because of insufficient protection in the midfield, the Donetsk Miners have the opportunity to create better opportunities.
This also made the fans at the San Siro Stadium feel a little nervous and exciting. If this scene continues in the second half, there may be goals, but it is not certain which team will score.
During the intermission, Lucescu had new instructions, and he was obviously satisfied with the 1-1 score in the first half.
Therefore, he signaled Xu Qiduoduo to pull back and help Serna defend Ronaldo. After all, Ronaldo is currently the most creative player in the AC Milan attack line, and Serna is under a lot of pressure on himself.
At the same time, William also retreated. After all, there were Beckham on the right and Pato who often ran to the right, which also put a lot of pressure on Rat.
Xu Qi and William had two more switch positions in the first half, but in the second half, Lucescu didn't really want the two to switch positions too much. He hoped that both of them could be more secure in defense.
Of course, when fighting a counterattack, the two of them must be able to attack.
Douglas Costa was still sitting on the bench, and of course he could still stand up at the critical moment.
After the start of the second half, AC Milan took the lead in making a substitution adjustment, which seemed to be a passive substitution, because the substitution was Anthony Nini who was passed by Xu Qi in the first half. He was always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Xu Qi, and at the last moment he was injured due to a tackle Xu Qi.
Finally, at the beginning of the second half, Leonardo replaced him with Favalli.
However, Favalli is a 38-year-old veteran, so it is probably quite difficult to let him defend Xu Qi.
Leonardo made such a choice, which was a bit of a clever cook. After all, after Maldini retired, there was really no reliable person in AC Milan to use it in the left-back position.
After the start of the second half, the miners retreated significantly. Obviously, the miners wanted to defend this situation that was more favorable to them.
After more than ten minutes, the entire miners team was united and did a very good job of defense, blocking several attacks from AC Milan. Under the double-team of Xu Qi and Serna, Ronaldinho could not play anything.
Once Ronaldo cannot create opportunities, AC Milan's attack seems to have no choice.
Pirlo's pass is based more on defensive counterattacks, and he is difficult to find any opportunity in positional battles, and after Beckham was entangled by William, he was unable to pass the ball into the penalty area.
The Yangtze River pushes the old waves forward, and these veterans who are about to withdraw from the stage of history are still a little weak in front of the Donetsk miners and the young men.
Then, Leonardo made another substitution adjustment.
Seidorf, 34, appeared and replaced 35-year-old Beckham.
A substitution adjustment between the two old guys, Leonardo's substitution naturally means hoping that Seidorf can show his creativity and help AC Milan take the lead again.
Although the old demon is old, he is still a demon.
In this match between AC Milan and Donetsk miners, there are old monsters everywhere in the AC Milan formation, and the miners team is full of potential little monsters. This game really has the smell of an old monster fighting against a little monster.
Afterwards, Leonardo seemed to want to apply the old demon tactics to the extreme. He replaced Hunterlaer, the main center who was 27 years old, who was in his age but was a little mediocre.
And the one who changed it was number nine, Inzaji!
He is already 37 years old.
Dida, Favalli, Beckham, Nesta, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Seedorf, Inzaghi, even Gattuso on the bench, Abiati, and even Zambrota who were unable to play due to injury were all born in the 1970s.
Compared with these guys, Ronaldinho, who was born in 1980, was now thirty years old, was simply a young man!
At the same time, the substitution of the Donetsk Miners is also getting younger. Judson was replaced, Douglas Costa, a young demon born in the 1990s, appeared, and Xu Qi moved to the middle.
Hubuschman replaced and Kravchenko came on the court.
The eleven-man lineup of the miners has become much younger again.
The old demon fights the little demon, and the second half of the game continues.
During this period of time, the physical advantages of the Donetsk Miners team's little demons were finally reflected.
Including Fernandinho's wide range of defensive coverage, Xu Qi ran tirelessly, William actively returned to defend and pressed, and finally, their physical advantages emerged.
Although the old demon team used up all three substitutions, it still seemed that they could not stand it anymore.
Chapter completed!
