Chapter 150 The Collapse of AC Milan
The fighting spirit of the AC Milan players was stimulated. After the kick-off, they launched a crazy attack towards Barcelona's half.
However, fighting football is not enough.
Under Barcelona's tight defense, after reaching the frontcourt, AC Milan's offense was unsustainable.
Busquets and De Jong, two defensive midfielders, tightly blocked the passage in the middle.
AC Milan's offense can only start from the wing.
Although Barcelona's defense is not like the chain defense of Italy, the small-scale siege of a group of three makes AC Milan's offense always feel that there is one less person.
Mandzukic, who had already made harsh remarks before the game, could not get a good chance in the frontcourt. De Jong and Busquets will always have someone not far from him. As long as he has the ball, he will definitely form a circle of at least three people.
During an attack, Mandzukic wanted to turn around forcibly, but Langley and De Jong clamped back and forth, and Mandzukic couldn't move at all.
Langley saw the opportunity and stabbed with his right foot, and the football was thrown from Mandzukic's feet.
Mandzukic was also knocked to the ground by Lenglet's feet. Angrily, he kept waving his hands, hoping that the referee would give a penalty for the foul.
But the referee just gave him a gesture to get up quickly, then turned and left.
Because, Barcelona's counterattack began.
The football poked out by Langley was received by Pedri.
After Pedri received the ball, he passed it directly to Li Mingyu who retreated in the middle.
Li Mingyu ran towards the football with his back, behind him was AC Milan's midfielder Benasse.
When Benase saw Li Mingyu taking the ball, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He was afraid that after Li Mingyu turned around, he would make a deadly pass, so he could only follow behind Li Mingyu tightly, and he must not be allowed to turn around.
But when Li Mingyu was about to receive the football, he suddenly made a fake turn to the left, causing Benase's center of gravity to move to the same side.
However, Li Mingyu's next move made the entire San Siro stadium sigh in disbelief.
Li Mingyu first made a fake turn to the left, which caused Benase to follow Li Mingyu to move to the same side, but Li Mingyu immediately turned his body back and turned around in the direction of the ball.
In the whole extraordinary movement, Li Mingyu's feet didn't touch the football at all, but he had completely thrown off the opponent's defense.
Don't touch the ball.
This should be regarded as the highest state of extraordinary.
This requires not only technology, but also football IQ and psychological games.
The top midfield masters are basically masters without touching the ball.
With such an action, Li Mingyu made all the fans in the San Siro stadium sigh.
After Benase found out that he had been duped, he wanted to chase him back, but Li Mingyu's sudden acceleration made it impossible for him to catch up.
Bennace chased after Li Mingyu relentlessly, and Li Mingyu's speed had already picked up.
Although he didn't have the ability to attack, Li Mingyu's own speed was already at the top of the world.
AC Milan's defense suddenly panicked.
As Benasse was easily passed, AC Milan's central defense opened wide.
Soon, Li Mingyu rushed to the 30-meter area of AC Milan.
The opponent's central defender can only rush forward to defend.
If Li Mingyu was allowed to take another long-distance attacking shot, AC Milan wouldn't have to play again in this game, it would be too embarrassing.
No matter what, Li Mingyu had to be stopped, even if it was a foul, he couldn't be allowed to be so arrogant anymore.
Looking at Romagnoli with a ferocious face, Li Mingyu's eyes froze, and out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a black and golden figure quickly inserting into AC Milan's ribs.
Li Mingyu saw Romagnoli, who was about to shovel him, and directly kicked the football hard with the instep of his right foot. A through ball like a scalpel was passed directly from AC Milan's ribs to the penalty area.
Romagnoli looked back with a look of horror, and saw that Messi had already appeared in his defensive area like a ghost. After receiving the pass from Li Mingyu, he adjusted his footsteps a little, and made a beautiful volley with his left foot. The goalkeeper had no choice but to raise his hand and surrender.
In the No. 20 minute of the first half, Barcelona led AC Milan 2-0 at the San Siro Stadium.
This goal made the San Siro Stadium, which was originally like a volcanic eruption, dead silent like a cemetery.
Many fans had tears of despair in their eyes.
Eight years away from the top European competition stage, like a white horse passing by, the gap between AC Milan and Barcelona is already so big that it makes people desperate.
In fact, not only AC Milan, but the entire Italian football has fallen behind the world football.
In the past, the Serie A league known as the "Little World Cup", the era of the Seven Sisters of Serie A, has long gone with the wind.
The skills and tactics of world football have undergone earth-shaking changes during the years when Barcelona and the Spanish team dominated football.
But the reaction of Italian football seems to have been one step slower.
Chain defense, defensive counterattack, and the practical score of 1:0 are all the original sins that make Italian football lag behind modern football.
What is even more desperate is that the defense on which Italian football depends is now somewhat different.
For example, for the goal just now, Li Mingyu used his super personal strength to turn AC Milan's defense upside down. The huge gap in the back line allowed Li Mingyu and Messi to find a chance. A chance of a quasi-single-handed goal made AC Milan swallow another goal.
This goal completely wiped out the fluke in AC Milan's heart.
The disparity in strength is too great.
After Li Mingyu and Messi celebrated, they looked at AC Milan, who was a bit out of their wits, and couldn't help showing a hint of sarcasm. They were already weak, but they wanted to fight us head-on. Isn't this a dead end?
Zhang Shuai in the North Stand, together with the fans next to him, couldn't contain his excitement.
As a fan of Li Mingyu, as a fan of Inter Milan, seeing AC Milan in such a mess, Zhang Shuai felt a double pleasure in his heart.
The passionate celebration involved a bruise on the corner of his eye, which made Zhang Shuai gritted his teeth, but the pleasure brought by the goal soon made him forget the injury and continued to celebrate crazily.
After the re-kick-off, it was obvious that AC Milan was completely honest.
The rhythm is firmly under the feet of Barcelona.
No. 403 minutes, Li Mingyu kicked a through ball 35 meters away, Messi succeeded in countering offside, facing the attacking goalkeeper, without greed, he flicked the ball lightly, and caught up with Griessmann.
With the whistle of the referee, the first half of the game ended.
0:3, AC Milan at home is 3 goals behind Barcelona.
There were deafening boos at the San Siro Stadium.
Barcelona's players relished the booing of incompetence and fury.
But the players of AC Milan lowered their heads one after another, quickly left the field and returned to the player channel.
In the North Stand, Barcelona fans from afar came singing and dancing, crushing their opponents in their home court. This feeling is the happiest moment for a fan.
AC Milan sent a large number of security personnel to firmly block the North Stand. They were surrounded by security personnel with explosion-proof shields and anti-explosion sticks. They looked seriously at the AC Milan fans who were about to rush over and warned them not to mess around.
The fans of the double-double spray each other in Spanish and Italian that the other cannot understand through the security personnel.
This feeling is like being in a group of funny videos, separated by a fence, with two barking dogs at each other.
But what is different from the video is that if these security personnel really leave, the personnel from the two parties will never shut up like the two dogs in the video. They will definitely turn the entire North Stand into a mess.
The Barcelona players who returned to the locker room were very relaxed. Koeman discussed some arrangements for the second half with the assistant coach outside the door before entering the locker room.
Seeing the head coach come in, everyone lowered their voices.
Koeman first expressed his recognition of everyone's performance in the first half, and hoped that the second half could make persistent efforts and must not be taken lightly.
After all, the reversal of three goals is also commonplace in the football world.
I still remember that unforgettable night in Istanbul in 2005.
The Champions League final between Liverpool and AC Milan started in Istanbul, Turkey for the 50th UEFA Champions League championship.
In the first half, AC Milan took full advantage and led Liverpool 3-0 cleanly.
During the intermission, AC Milan's locker room had already begun to celebrate their victory. It is said that at that time, they had already opened the red wine for the celebration after the game.
If heaven wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy.
AC Milan's arrogance and relaxation caused them to suffer the biggest humiliation in the history of the Champions League.
The second half of the game started, and in 6 minutes, Liverpool scored three goals in a row to tie the total score to 3:3.
The players of AC Milan were all stunned.
In the end, the two sides had nothing to achieve within 120 minutes, and could only decide the winner through the most brutal penalty shootout.
Liverpool's goalkeeper Dudek has become the most critical person in this game.
He successfully prevented three AC Milan players from scoring penalties. In the end, Liverpool won the Champions League through a penalty shootout.
Although two years later, in Greece in 2007, AC Milan and Liverpool entered the Champions League final again. AC Milan defeated Liverpool 2:1 through Inzaghi's two goals and won their seventh Champions League trophy.
After the start of the second half of the game, AC Milan really wanted to pass the opening opportunity and wanted to sneak attack on Barcelona's defense.
However, this season, Barcelona has suffered such losses several times.
Therefore, Barcelona will keep their attention focused at the beginning of the first half and the second half, and will never let people easily succeed in sneak attacks.
Mandzukic's drive with the ball was interrupted by De Jong and Li Mingyu's back and forth attack.
An angry Mandzukic pushed De Jong hard after losing the ball, which also caused some unnecessary conflicts on the court.
Since the referee was nearby, he stepped forward quickly and stopped the players from both sides from continuing to push.
For Mandzukic who caused chaos, the referee was also merciful and only showed him a topaz God of War card, but the referee verbally warned Mandzukic very severely, telling him to pay attention to his actions.
In this game, Mandzukic had almost no chance to face the goal. Every time he took the ball with his back and couldn't turn around at all.
He said such tough words before the game, but he performed so ineffectively in the game, which changed Mandzukic's mentality.
The next game was back on track again.
To be precise, it is back to the rhythm of Barcelona.
Li Mingyu was in the midfield, steadily organizing and controlling the frontcourt, sorting out the offense of the entire team very properly.
AC Milan's defensive formation can only follow Barcelona's pass passively.
Barcelona, which has a three-goal lead, is not in a hurry to attack at all. Like an experienced hunter, it always keeps a certain distance from its prey to lure the opponent out.
The players of AC Milan were very desperate. The difference in the technical level of the players of the two sides was not too big, but the crushing of advanced technical and tactical levels was the most desperate.
Just like a war, you are equipped with the top weapons of World War II, but the opponent directly uses a long-range attack beyond the line of sight, so that you will be wiped out without seeing the enemy, and your top weapons have become scrap iron.
The cheers from the fans in the stands became smaller and smaller. This game made AC Milan fans fully understand how far their team is now from the top teams in the world.
In recent years, AC Milan has not been able to participate in the Champions League, and the results of other Italian teams in the Champions League are also terrible.
But the fans of AC Milan couldn't help laughing at these teams, thinking that they had lost the face of Italian football.
However, when AC Milan really came to the Champions League, they realized that they were the frogs sitting at the bottom of the well.
Seven Champions League trophies, at this time, do not have any halo blessings for AC Milan.
Their performance is not even as good as some mid-range teams in La Liga.
It's not that their ability is poor, but because they haven't seen the rhythm of top teams for a long time.
No. In the 60th minute, Griesmann was brought down by AC Milan's defender in the frontcourt, and the referee awarded a direct free kick.
Li Mingyu kicked a free kick with a speed of more than 180 kilometers per hour, which made the faces of AC Milan's crowd turn pale, and the goalkeeper was unable to make any reaction, staring blankly at the football rolling out of the goal.
This violent shot made them fear Li Mingyu.
