"Tottenham Hotspur took the ball and prepared to attack... Kompany passed to Pirlo, and then passed by Marcelo."

"Marcelo drew the ball forward, passed Ramsey across the cross, rushed forward, Ramsey knocked back, cooperated with two and one, and arrived at the frontcourt."

"It was passed to Cavani, Cavani made a wall, knocked back at the front of the penalty area, Ribery passed by, Messi got the ball."

"When it comes to the penalty area, Zapata blocks Messi, and it goes over, and the ball goes in."

"Messi, Messi scored a goal"

"In the 31st minute of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in knocking on AC Milan's goal. A shot from Messi was located near the penalty area line. The Argentine shook past Zapata and shot directly. The ball entered the net."

"0 Tottenham Hotspur has taken the lead for the time being"

The on-site commentator of the White Hart Lane Stadium was still shouting [OA] loudly. All the fans in the stadium were cheering at Messi, while Messi was holding Ribery. The two rushed out of the stadium side by side and celebrated the goal on the sidelines.

"AC Milan paid the price for its mistakes. Tottenham Hotspur had an attack from the left just now, and also used this skillful touch pass to pull AC Milan's defense line, but the players of the Ross and Blacks did not learn from the lessons | So this time, Tottenham Hotspur used goals to teach them a painful lesson."

With the slow-motion replay of live TV, it can be clearly seen that from the backcourt, all of them were passed on with one kick, without any drag. Although AC Milan players stood on their positions during defense, some problems were still exposed at critical moments, mainly focusing on the right side of the midfield.

Flamini has to complete two responsibilities in this area at the same time, one is to protect right-back Abbat. This requires him to stand in the sideline area when Tottenham Hotspur dribbles the ball from the left, but at the same time, he also needs to assist in defense of Ambrosini to prevent the Italian midfield from falling into individual combat, while Ambrosini's position is basically in the middle.

From Tottenham's two consecutive attacks just now, we can clearly see that Marcelo, Pirlo, Ramsey, Ribery and others were scrutinizing and moving back and forth from the middle to the left, constantly pulling AC Milan's defense, and when they arrived at the front court, they pulled Flamini to the left, knocked across to the middle, and then Ribery passed Ambrocsini behind to find Messi who cut inside on the right.

The whole process was as if it was arranged in advance, and AC Milan's defense line was as if it were paper-stuffed.

"Messi's shot was very accurate and the angle was excellent. In addition, he flicked past Zapata and kicked it directly. Abiati's vision was blocked and he failed to react immediately, causing the ball to hang directly into a dead corner. This was a wonderful goal, from Leo Messi."

After seeing Messi score, Ye Qiu smiled and applauded her beloved disciple. This goal was just to tell Allegri not to always stare at my single midfielder, but also to worry about his midfield issues, don't care about his head and mind.

In fact, strictly speaking, all-round players will become more and more popular, which is caused by the development trend of modern football. Therefore, when Ye Qiu gave up Fabregas and David Silva, he actually had this consideration. Because with them, Tottenham Hotspur must be equipped with a full-time defender.

The advantage of an all-round player is that even if you seem to have many weaknesses, in fact, the opponent has few opportunities to take advantage of, or even none, which is equivalent to making you seem to have no weaknesses.

Some people may say that an all-round player always has multiple responsibilities alone. Is there no problem?

It depends on the coach's assignment

It's like Allegri, the task he assigned to Flamini in this game was too heavy, and he had to protect the right side and assist in the middle side at the same time. This was too much pressure for a player, especially when the team could not control the game situation, Tottenham Hotspur only needed to pull Flamini to the left side and then cross the middle side to directly hit Ambrosini.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Vidal and Ramsey also have many responsibilities, but this involves a kind of distribution.

Assuming the same situation, if the opponent wants to attack Tottenham Hotspur's right, Vidal will pull to the side and Pirlo will also lean to the right appropriately, but at this time Ramsey or even Cavani will definitely retreat to the midfield to defend and become a central defender to help Pirlo assist in defense.

Also, due to the wave defense line, when the opponent attacks the right side, Kyle Walker retreats, Thiago Silva is in front, and the distance between him and Pirlo is close, which allows him to effectively provide support and protection for Pirlo. As for the opponent's cross after passing Kyle Walker, there are also Kompany and goalkeeper Cech who controls the small penalty area.

A big problem with AC Milan's current defense line and midfielder is that the combination is very mechanical, and it follows the functional combination of the past. Moreover, the players' coordination and protection of each other and the ability to move in a position are not strong, which is very fatal.

Just like this time, after Tottenham Hotspur scored a goal, Ye Qiu was still the same as before, waved his hand and continued to press forward to the attack, striving to swallow AC Milan in one breath, while Allegri's team had to retreat to the front of the penalty area.

A single attack entered the penalty area again. Mex headed the ball to clear the 30-meter area, but Thiago Silva pressed it up and headed the ball back, but the ball fell at Montolivo's feet. After the latter stopped the ball in his chest, he immediately dribbled the ball forward when he saw the opportunity in front of him.

Vidal came out from the diagonal spear. When Montolivo was about to pass the ball to Boateng, he directly intercepted the ball. When he intercepted the ball, he stopped suddenly, turned around, and drove the ball back to AC Milan's penalty area.

At this time, AC Milan's entire midfield was shifting from defense to attack, but suddenly lost the ball. Tottenham Hotspur intercepted the ball and counterattacked again, which caught AC Milan off guard. The defense line was better, but the midfield had all lost its position. Ambrosini recently ran to the top of the penalty area as soon as possible.

After taking two steps, Vidal quickly passed the ball to Messi's feet with one kick. The Argentine quickly tangled from the right to the middle, stopped the ball, pushed it, and completed it in one go. The ball passed from Messi's feet, before Ambrosini got in place, and it was diagonally between Zapata and Abat on the left side of the penalty area.

Zapata moved quickly to the left and wanted to intercept the ball, but Ribery cut in from the left at high speed. Before Zapata, she turned the ball's trajectory in a direction, while Ribery passed Zapata.

Milan's central defender had two choices at this time. One was to pull Ribery down, but this was a very serious foul. In the penalty area, he had a red card and penalty kick, which was impossible to escape. The second choice was to hope that Mex could make up for him as soon as possible and block Ribery's kick.

He chose the second one in the midst of lightning, but unfortunately, Mex failed to rush over to intercept it as soon as possible. Ribery stopped the ball and directly kicked his feet, volleyed his right foot. The ball turned an arc and hung it into the upper right corner of the goal.

All the fans of Tottenham Hotspur were so happy that they rushed out of their seats and cheered at the players on the court. In less than five minutes, they scored two goals in a row. This is the rhythm of trying to kill AC Milan.

If everyone feels dull after the opening, the game is dull, lacking passion and speed, then now, no one doubts the excitement of this game anymore. Perhaps the dullness of the game is just a prelude and a trough before the climax.

"Tottenham Hotspurs are crazy"

The live broadcast commentator shook his head and sighed, AC Milan did a good job in the opening game, which made people see a little sign of the first round, but as the game progressed, AC Milan seemed to be getting worse and worse, and the more it became more and more incomprehensible.

"Two goals lead, and another away goal is in hand. Tottenham Hotspur has now entered the quarterfinals knockout circle with half a foot. If AC Milan wants to advance, it will need two goals, but this is not very difficult."

Allegri regrets this situation, but it is more of a helplessness, because he found that he seemed to have grasped Tottenham's weakness, but in fact his weakness was also caught tightly by Tottenham's.

When he thought he was smart and wanted to send Boateng to the frontcourt to suppress Pirlo, AC Milan's midfielder also exposed the problem of insufficient coverage, allowing Tottenham Hotspur to effectively attack.

To be honest, Allegri is not completely unaware of the weaknesses and shortcomings of his team's midfield. He repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to introduce the midfield because he knew the problem of the midfield, but now the resources in his hands are like this. He still has to continue to arrange troops like this, and he has no choice.

So in the locker room before the game, he repeatedly emphasized that after the sneak attack, the team must immediately change to the 45l tactics, Boateng has to return to the midfield and actively participate in the defense, and Nian has to return to the right and take the initiative to protect the wing. This is because he has always seen it very clearly, but he is hoping that Tottenham Hotspur cannot see clearly, or that he cannot grasp this loophole.

This reminded him of a saying that his predecessors often said, when you are worried about something before the game, basically this thing will happen during the game, because you don’t always treat your enemies as blind.

Thinking of this, Allegri's brows frowned, his entire forehead was dissatisfied with wrinkles, and his two eyebrows were also disguised like his eight characters. He looked very funny, which also caused many Chinese fans to call him Agu.

Conceded two goals in a critical moment in the first half, which was a huge blow to AC Milan, especially for many Milan players. They were very aware that this game was not what they imagined.

In the first leg of the game between the two sides, they felt that Tottenham Hotspur was not strong, but they did not consider that the reason why Tottenham Hotspur was bad was because they encountered strong enemies one after another. But now, Tottenham Hotspur tried its best to face Milan, striving to advance from the knockout stage and show all its attack firepower.

So Milan was a little confused

During the break, Allegri had to take the initiative to make adjustments. He clearly realized that the biggest mistake he and the team made in the first half was that he was eager to score goals. The tactics he arranged after the game were obviously telling the players to attack, which led to the mentality of many players not being able to be put down from the beginning.

Can you be impatient when playing Tottenham Hotspur? Can you not consider defense first?

So during the midfield break, Allegri made adjustments, dragging Boateng back to the midfield, and arranged Nyan to the right, Salavi stood in front, and the team's formation became a 45l tactic, further strengthening the midfield.

In this way, AC Milan's defense has been improved, but the offensive threat, especially the pressure and pressing of Tottenham Hotspur's midfield and backcourt, has basically become a form and failed to achieve results.

AC Milan's adjustment still played a certain role in Tottenham's offense, so Tottenham Hotspur's attack came in the second half and found that the first half of the game could not work, so he began to slow down and patiently looked for opportunities.

Until the 61st minute of the second half, Messi passed Cavani two-one on the right and dribbled the ball along the penalty area and passed it to Ramsey. The Welshman gave a straight pass. Ribery stopped the ball in front of Abat and Zapata and turned around, and suddenly accelerated the ball and broke through. He forced a passage between the two defensive players, and then rushed into the penalty area. After suddenly volleying his left foot.

The ball rolled into the goal from Abiati's left, 0

AC Milan's goalkeeper turned around and kicked the ball hard into the net, then turned around and shouted at the teammates in front of him. He didn't understand why this happened? Why were the two of them squeezed over by the other party? Can't they stop Ribery?

Zapata and Abate both pulled their heads, and they had obvious differences. In other words, when Ribery drove the ball and turned to start, they misjudged the other party, which made neither of them even think about stopping Ribery, but were thinking that maybe his teammates would stop it.

Sometimes this misjudgment is really fatal, especially in the Champions League.

However, Ribery turned around after stopping the ball, dribbled the ball and quickly rushed out of the defense of the two players. The whole process was indeed quite exciting. Then, facing Abiati's calm shot, he also seized the key opportunity and scored twice for himself.

Tottenham Hotspur leads with three goals, and with half an hour left, there is no more suspense in the game.

But in this case, Allegri finally made the decision to give it a try, replaced Montali, defeated Ambrosini, replaced Boyan, and defeated Flamini, and continued to strengthen the team's offense. At least he had to compete for a goal away from home to win back some face and maintain the dignity of the giant team.

So the scene suddenly changed, AC Milan pushed up a lot, while Tottenham Hotspur had to retreat. The reason was very simple. With Constant on the left, AC Milan actually set up five offensive players in front. This was obviously not a calm and rational change, but a battle of intention.

To put it bluntly, Allegri has no idea

Tottenham Hotspur was also very determined when retreating, and Cavani almost returned to his own penalty area and in front of the baseline to participate in the defense. Ye Qiu quickly made a substitution and replaced Pirlo with Sandro, which was also a signal to strengthen the defense.

When the game reached the 82nd minute, AC Milan had already fought crazy and invested huge forces in the frontcourt, with only one goal, that is, score a goal.

But sometimes things are like this, the more anxious you are, the more chaotic you become.

Messi, Ramsey and Vidal formed a triangle press. After breaking Montali, who wanted to drive the ball, the ball fell to Montolivo's feet, Vidal soon completed the interception against Montolivo again, and then passed to the right and gave Kyle or Walker.

At this time, the ball was still at the front of Tottenham Hotspur's 30-meter area. Kyle or Walker was very fast and drove the ball toward the hinterland of AC Milan. At this time, two Milan's central defenders were also quickly returning to defense.

But Kyle or Walker didn't wait for them to react. After just entering Milan's 30-meter area, he rubbed his right foot and made a low cross. The ball bypassed Mex and Zapata, and rebounded after landing at the front of Milan's penalty area. Ribery, who rushed up from behind, stopped and entered the penalty area.

Zapata and Mex were both left behind by Ribery. Although Abiarty had just complained about his teammates, he did not dare to abandon the goal and attack. Instead, after Ribery rushed over, he stared at Ribery's movements, judging whether Ribery was going to push the corner or rub the far corner?

While Abiati was hesitating, Ribery rubbed his left foot at the front of the small penalty area and rubbed a far corner directly. Abiati was obviously caught off guard, so he made a flying save blocking the near corner. The whole scene looked very embarrassed.

40

Ribery, who had a hat trick, rushed to AC Milan's goal, snatched the ball from the goal line, turned around and ran to the stands of the White Hart Lane Stadium, rushed to the sidelines, held the ball high with both hands, shouted at the fans in the stands, venting the surprise and excitement after the hat trick.

At this time, many Tottenham Hotspur fans were shouting loudly, asking Ribery to throw the ball up. As a result, when French Scarface was rushing up, he really put on his hands as if he threw the ball outside the boundary and threw the ball into the stands, causing a crazy snatch from the fans in the stands.

All Tottenham Hotspur players rushed up and hugged Ribery tightly, congratulating the Tottenham Hotspur winger on his hat-trick, which is also the best gift for Ribery to celebrate his 30th birthday.

At the age of thirty, he has begun to enter the twilight years of his career

No one would doubt Ribery's strength, and no one would think that he is a crucial core member of the team, because the first round was his flying fairy in the sky, saving Tottenham Hotspur.
