Chapter 409 Still have to fight! [Third update, please subscribe to monthly pass]
It seemed to be completely awakened by Yang Yang's goal.
After falling behind by one goal, AC Milan obviously played more aggressively, and the threat on the offensive end was also greater.
Just 4 minutes after Yang Yang scored, AC Milan played a very threatening attack.
Seedorf made a direct pass from the middle, and after Shevchenko got the ball, he rubbed a wonderful pass with the outer instep of his right foot on the left side of the penalty area.
Gilardino equalized for AC Milan with a header from close range in the central wicket.
This goal also completely ignited AC Milan's offensive passion.
All the fans at the San Siro Stadium also cheered wildly.
……
No.305 minutes, another pass from Seedorf, Shevchenko broke into the left side of the penalty area again, facing Heitinga's defense, the Ukrainian center suddenly fell to the ground, and Heitinga angrily accused Shevchenko of diving.
Although the referee eventually signaled the game to continue, he did not punish the Ukrainian for diving.
Judging from the slow-motion playback of the game, Shevchenko is indeed suspected of diving.
But just 1 minute later, it was Seedorf and Shevchenko's continuous cooperation on the left, which assisted Kaka with a right-footed push and shot, breaking through Ajax's goal again and reversing the score.
After Kaka scored the goal, he also rushed out of the field with great excitement, pointing his fingers in the air along the way, muttering words.
This is his signature goal celebration, pray!
But AC Milan's offensive is still going on.
……
No. 401 minutes, another through ball from Seedorf's left side, Kaka accelerated past Heitinga on the left side of the penalty area, and crossed to the middle. Shevchenko followed up and calmly pushed in front of the goal.
Three to one!
AC Milan scored three goals in just ten minutes.
The entire San Siro stadium was cheering and celebrating wildly.
If AC Milan firmly controlled the situation in the first 20 minutes, but failed to break through Ajax's goal, then in the last ten minutes, the Rossoneri told Ajax with iron facts why they became the runner-up of the Champions League.
They almost firmly controlled the first half of the game and did not leave many opportunities for Ajax.
At the same time, everyone has to admit that AC Milan's left wing is indeed full of attack power.
All three goals were planned from the left, completely blowing up Ajax's right.
Controlling the possession and rhythm of the ball on the field, AC Milan can continuously plan more and more threatening offensives.
…………
…………
From one to zero to one to three, in just 10 minutes, Ajax seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell.
Back in the dressing room, Ajax's players looked down and out.
This is not surprising. From leading by one goal to falling behind by two goals, anyone will feel uncomfortable.
So is Yang Yang.
This is the first time he really felt that Ajax may have difficulty going far.
The gap in strength is really huge. Whether it is the overall strength or the competition of each position, Ajax is far behind AC Milan. There are not many players in the team who can really compete with AC Milan.
The defense performed poorly in this game, especially in the central defender position. Heitinga was really blown away at this point.
Vermaelen is still relatively young, and he has no advantage in defense against high balls, so he didn't play well in this game.
As for the offensive end, he also did not give a very good performance. Pienaar on the left still lacks sharpness.
If the left wing can create more pressure on AC Milan, then Yang Yang will be much easier on the right.
But now the left side is a bit weak. After conceding a goal, AC Milan began to strengthen the defense on the right side, which put a lot of pressure on Yang Yang.
But sometimes, football games are like this.
It is also impossible for Yang Yang to blame his teammates for this. After all, they are either not in ideal condition or have tried their best.
Sometimes it's tiring to think about it.
In the past, teammates like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and van der Vaart helped on the offensive line. Although Wesley Songk's scoring efficiency is not much, he is fast, flexible in running, and can share the pressure.
But now, it's all gone.
All the pressure was pushed in front of Yang Yang, especially in games like the Champions League, which really made him feel overwhelmed.
But he doesn't regret the choices he made, nor does he blame his teammates.
Wasn't he choosing to stay at Ajax to prove himself?
What better way to prove your strength than now?
As the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League, he was able to lead Ajax all the way to the quarterfinals. Regardless of the next results, he did not disappoint anyone.
Especially against Real Madrid, that hat-trick at the Bernabeu is enough to prove his worth.
Now, every step he takes is just to push himself into a corner and squeeze out all his potential.
At this moment, he also knew very well that the morale of the team must not be let down!
With this sigh of relief, there is really nothing to play in the second half!
……
"Everyone lift up their spirits, we have not yet reached the time to hang our heads down."
Yang Yang stood up from his seat and spoke vigorously, encouraging the strength of the team.
"We have a precious away goal and are two goals behind. This situation is not the end of the world. The most important thing for us now is to stabilize our defense."
"Yang Yang is right, the top priority is to stabilize the defense." Sneijder also stood up to encourage his teammates.
Heitinga, who bears the brunt, was a little embarrassed at once, but he still stood up bravely, saying that his state was indeed not ideal, but he would definitely adjust himself in time, and he would continue to work hard in the second half to strive for a better performance.
Yang Yang also showed the demeanor that a captain should have. Not only did he not criticize Heitinga, but he believed that he had done his best.
"Defense is everyone's business in our team. We conceded three goals, and none of us have the right to blame others."
Yang Yang's maintenance moved Heitinga very much, not only because of the personal relationship between each other, but also because of the overall situation of the team.
During the intermission, the coaching staff will not easily make substitutions.
Substituting at this time is tantamount to shifting all the responsibility for the first half to this player, which is unfair to anyone.
Since there will be no substitutions, the morale of the team must be adjusted.
This is Yang Yang's attitude.
Ronald Koeman also walked into the locker room at this time, and he also very much agreed with Yang Yang's statement.
"There is still the second half of the game, and we are far from being dejected. Don't forget, our statistics before the game show that AC Milan's second half is when they make the most mistakes."
Ronald Koeman's remarks are a good reminder to the players in the locker room.
According to the statistics of the Ajax coaching staff, AC Milan's ranking in Serie A this season, if only the first half is considered, the Rossoneri is the best in Serie A, scoring the most goals and conceding the fewest goals. The only big problem is that there are too many draws.
But the victory is very stable and has maintained an unbeaten record in the first half so far.
But if we only talk about the second half, it will be greatly discounted immediately.
AC Milan's second-half score ranked third in Serie A, but they lost as many as ten games and drew nine games.
Of course, if you only talk about the first and second halves and don't combine it with reality, such data is not very meaningful.
But this can fully prove one thing, that is, AC Milan's performance in the first half is always much better than in the second half.
Looking at the other two teams in the top three in Serie A, Juventus is the most stable overall. The first half and the second half are very close, and Inter Milan's second half is even better than the first half.
A very important reason for AC Milan's performance in the first half and the second half is the team's physical fitness.
After Ronald Koeman said this, the Ajax players suddenly regained their confidence.
But just this is obviously not enough. The team must also come up with a feasible plan at the tactical level.
That's the threat on the left.
Ronald Koeman's opinion is very consistent with Yang Yang's. The team's pressure on the opponent on the left in the first half was obviously not enough.
"AC Milan prefers to hit the ball directly into our penalty area during offense. This is very obvious in the first half. The intention is very simple. It can create better shooting opportunities in the penalty area. Shevchenko, Kaka and Gilardino are all good players in this regard."
"And we must shrink appropriately and adopt intensive defense, especially our middle lane, and we must hold the front of the penalty area."
"In addition, when attacking, we have to put more pressure on the opponent from the left. Pienaar needs to be more active, press Gattuso more, and put more pressure on their side, so there will be more opportunities on the right."
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.
"Everyone, this is a protracted battle. The opponent is AC Milan, the strongest team in European football today. We are at a disadvantage in terms of strength. This requires us to work together and be united."
"We have to defend in the second half, the longer we defend, the more chances we have!"
AC Milan's physical fitness will be a long-standing problem. The longer it is delayed, the more obvious their problems will be exposed.
…………
…………
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Ajax adopted a more resolute shrinking defensive tactic.
AC Milan created a chance in the opening 4 minutes. It was a cross from the wing. Gilardino headed the goal, but it was slightly wide of the far post.
The Italian center has had many header opportunities in this game. If he had a better ability to grasp the header, Ajax would have been beaten into a sieve.
Subsequently, AC Milan continued to control the situation on the field and frequently created opportunities.
However, due to Ajax's shrinking defense, it is difficult for AC Milan to easily pass the ball into the penalty area at the front of the penalty area. Coupled with the [-]-to-[-] lead, AC Milan's offense slows down appropriately.
The best chance was in 4 minutes, after Kaka received a pass from Shevchenko, he took a long shot from the front of the penalty area, failed to hit the strength, and was confiscated by goalkeeper Stekelenburg.
Ronald Koeman also realized that the team had to make adjustments.
