Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 357 Fight for the Initiative
"Li Huan clashed with Milan fans"!
"Li Huan's performance at the press conference was aggressive"!
"Li Huan provokes the whole of Italian football!" ……
The reports about Li Huan in the Italian media are all negative, and they can make the fans and players see the blood boiling, which even caused the whole Italian football to hate the same enemy before the game, AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi issued a death order to Allegri, must win at home. Even the fans of Inter Milan, AC Milan's sworn enemy, said: emotionally we want the next door to be abused to death, but intellectually we want AC Milan to advance, because they represent Italian football.
On the day of the game, Milan City was full of AC Milan fans and Arsenal fans wearing red and white jerseys, these fans shouted the slogan of the team's victory every time the reporter interviewed and the micro number was large, and when the emotions were excited, there were also quarrels and scolding with the opponent's fans, the Italian police were highly vigilant in the past two days to prevent the notorious English football hooligans and Italian fans from clashing, but they still could not completely prevent the brawl between the fans on both sides, fortunately, the Italian police took precautions in advance, There were no casualties in the brawl.
The match took place at 7:45 p.m., and the more than 80,000 seats at the San Siro Stadium were all filled by fans, and there were many fans outside the stadium who did not have tickets and looked for scalpers to resell tickets. Compared to the fierce confrontation outside the stadium, the fans in the stands were a little more relaxed under the watchful eyes of the police and security guards, and they only attacked each other with banners and words, but there were also some banners that were particularly creatively written, such as Italian fans who bluntly said on banners that they wanted to have a super-friendly relationship with the Queen of England, while English fans implicitly hinted that AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi's father was not a man.
At 7:45, the time for the game finally arrived.
Led by German referee Stark, Arsenal and AC Milan starters walked out of the dressing room.
"Boom!"
The stadium is boiling!
More than 60,000 Milan fans and more than 10,000 Arsenal fans cheered at the same time to welcome their idols and heroes to the stage, with a loud noise that almost lifted the roof of the stadium.
'The game is about to start, the players from both sides have already played, now let's take a look at their starting line-up......
Piarti, the famous Italian commentator at the scene, passionately introduced the lineups of the two sides to the world and analyzed the playing styles of the two sides.
“…… Milan's starting line-up was as follows: goalkeeper Abbiati, left-back Zambrotta, centre-backs Nesta and Silva, right-back Abate; Seedorf at left midfield, Van Bommel and Gattuso at the back, Boateng at right; Forwards Ibrahimovic and Pato. This lineup looks like 442, in fact, Seedorf's position is very flexible, similar to the forward midfield, which is Allegri's tactical play to absorb the advantages of Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation, depending on the opponent, between the offensive and defensive balance of 442 and the control of the counterattack 4312. ”
"Let's take a look at Arsenal's starting line-up, goalkeeper Fabianski, left-back Li Huan, centre-backs Vermaelen and Djurou, right-back Sagna, and double-back Alexander. Song and Wilshere, left midfielder Theo Walcott, right midfielder Rosicky, and the two forwards are Robin van Persie and Chamak...... After Chlich's transfer, Li Huan changed from right-back to left-back, Sagna worked the cold bench for two years, and finally won the main position, through this season's performance, we can understand that Sania's strength is not bad, but unfortunately there is Li Huan in front, he can only sit on the bench. As for Li Huan, who came to the left-back position, his power has not decreased at all, but the opponent is familiar with him playing right-back, and Li Huan has come to the left-back position, and it is even more difficult for them to stay without regrets.
Arsenal was able to play to the current results after taking the four absolute cores, in addition to Professor Wenger leaving them a complete system, Li Huan's strong personal ability and spiritual encouragement are also the most important reasons, Ferguson said that as long as Li Huan is still there, Arsenal will not collapse, this sentence is very reasonable......
"Force!"
With a whistle from referee Stark, the game began.
The first to kick off is the away team Arsenal, after losing Fabregas, Nasri and Arshavin, Walcott is better at breaking forward, Rosicky is not as good as before, Van Persie has some organizational ability, but it can't be compared with the real midfield organizer, Arsenal has lost the ability to penetrate in the middle, Wenger is improvised, the main force of the attack is placed on the wing, and the middle is more about control and counterattacking. After Li Huan pulled out the gap, he raided.
After kick-off, the ball quickly returned to Li Huan's feet, Li Huan is Arsenal's most threatening player, AC Milan has long been fully prepared, the pragmatic Allegri did not put a fast striker on Li Huan's side like most coaches, he knew that a speed like Li Huan was really broken through by Li Huan, and he couldn't chase it at all, and he couldn't catch up. Paipato by Li Huan's side is tantamount to a waste. So Allegri only strengthened the defense in the midfield, and the main focus was on the marking of Arsenal's point-grabbing players, Allegri believes that even if Li Huan's pass is awesome, as long as you don't have a player in the middle to outflank the point, everything Li Huan does is useless.
Allegri's ingenious arrangement is really good, at the beginning, Li Huan mainly focused on crosses, after all, with Arsenal's current strength, it is difficult to attract much defensive strength to Li Huan in the middle, and Li Huan alone wants to break through from the side to shoot in the penalty area is too small, so Li Huan can only choose a more confident cross. Li Huan's pass landed very well, and the timing was also very good, however, the AC Milan players did a very good job in defense, not only the forwards Van Persie and Chamak did not find opportunities, but even the midfielders inserted in the back row were watched by the prepared AC Milan players, and the Italian reinforced concrete defense was undoubtedly revealed in this game.
AC Milan did a very good job on the defensive end, and also created a lot of trouble for Arsenal at the offensive end, Seedorf, Ibrahimovic, Pato, these three are all players with strong individual ability, the ball at the back to their feet, they can impact the Arsenal back line with their own strength is a mess, if the three of them are connected together, they can almost definitely create a chance to shoot, but Arsenal after the decline in strength, pay great attention to defense, and the two strikers have not been able to break the goal.
After 20 minutes of the game, Wenger saw some clues, this Allegri is very cunning, he knows that he can't look at Li Huan, so he won't look at Li Huan, and instead go to keep an eye on other players of Arsenal, when Fabregas, Arshavin and Nasri are still there, these three people have strong individual breakthrough ability, not one person can watch, it is not advisable to use the method of marking and grabbing players, and now this method is completely the right medicine.
Wenger is not a simple person, after he saw Allegri's tactical arrangement, he immediately made his own adjustments to the team's tactics, letting the center pull the side, Li Huan strengthened the inside cut, and disrupted the opponent's defensive layout. At the same time, the central defender Vermaelen boldly inserted, hitting the opponent by surprise, Wenger believed that Allegri's kid could not count the defender's assist, the opening 20 minutes AC Milan used surprise tactics to gain the upper hand, 20 minutes later, Arsenal made tactical adjustments, Li Huan's cut and Vermaelen's insertion made AC Milan's defense leak. Arsenal's offensive has increased dramatically, frequently threatening AC Milan's goal, and snatching back the lost initiative.
In fact, before Li Huan joined, Arsenal's ability to grasp opportunities was the worst among the top four in the Premier League, in fact, this has little to do with their shooting skills, mainly the problem of self-confidence and calmness, and now they have won so many championships in a row, Arsenal's stars have confidence and calmness, and their ability to seize opportunities has become the strongest among European giants.
In the 35th minute of the game, Li Huan quickly dribbled the ball down from his own corridor, and the AC Milan players had already set up many obstacles on their right side, ready to nip Li Huan's attack in the bud.
Li Huan cut in the front of the penalty area a few times ago, although it caused chaos among the opponent, but did not win a good shooting opportunity, either blocked by the opponent, or hit by the opponent, there are many people in the front of the penalty area, Li Huan wants to shoot so easily, so when Li Huan saw the opponent gathered in the vicinity of the 30-meter area, Li Huan immediately began to cut in after passing the middle circle, this position is small, Li Huan cut inside after the AC Milan players followed, wanting to intercept Li Huan in the midfield.
Li Han flashed and rushed through the siege of AC Milan fans, and came to the vacuum area of AC Milan's defense, that is, the position in front of the 30 danger zone, amid the exclamations of the Milan fans in the stadium.
The success rate of shooting here is very low, but no one came to intercept it, Li Huan just thought about it a little, and immediately made a decision, he slowed down the speed of his advance, and the ball moved forward to get closer to his body, and then followed up with a burst shot.
The ball flew straight to the door of AC Milan like a meteor like lightning, and at this moment Li Huan's body was still thirty-five meters away from the goal, and his sudden shot was unexpected by most people.
