'In the first half, AC Milan were suppressed by us and that was because they lacked a wide attacker, but did you notice the AC Milan bench? Serginho sat on it, and if I were Tasotti I would have brought him on in the second half and played as a surprise left winger! ”
Jose Mourinho drew his guess on the tactical board in the dressing room, and all the players were only then surprised to discover that while he was immersed in the joy of leading in the first half, Mourinho had already started the second half planning rationally. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Tomasson and Inzaghi are both very strong strikers, plus Palacio, what is the ability of this player, you should know very well, once AC Milan press out, their attacking power is enough to beat us, and the fighting spirit of this team has always been tenacious!"
It should be said that AC Milan's lineup is still very strong, especially the thickness of the bench, Costacuta, Serginho and others are all-rounders, how Tasotti will be adjusted, Mourinho is not clear, after all, he is not a god, it is impossible to guess the movements of all opponents.
But one thing is for sure, and that is that AC Milan's tactics will definitely become more aggressive.
At this time, the Red Rebels should undoubtedly play in a more secure way and play more patiently.
"Leo, in the second half we have to consolidate the defense first, even though you did a good job in the first half, but I'm sorry, you have to go off!" Mourinho said to Messi.
"I understand, sir!" Although Messi had some regrets, he still nodded in agreement.
In the first half, although Messi's assault on the right side failed to kill Maldini, it still shared the pressure between the middle and the left side well, allowing Kaka to score two goals in the final moments to help the team take the lead.
"Daniel, in the second half, you play as a midfielder!" Jose Mourinho made a simple and concise substitution.
De Rossi was ready to play at any time, and after listening to it, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"AC Milan in the second half will definitely come back, it's a 90-minute game, Tasotti won't allow his team to go crazy in the last moments, the remaining 45 minutes are his last chance, he has no reason not to attack, unless he concedes in advance, but everyone knows that it's impossible, so in the remaining 45 minutes, every single one of you has to give me the spirit of 120,000 points, every ball counts, understand?"
"Understood, sir!" The players responded in unison.
However, I am afraid that even Mourinho himself did not expect that, although he thought at half-time that AC Milan would fight back, he still missed something.
After all, nothing that happens on the football field can be calculated.
........................" Tasotti adjusted the formation in midfield, from the original 4312 to 352, in which Cafu was promoted to the position of right midfielder, Seedorf was placed in the left midfield, Maldini returned to the penalty area, and Nesta and Kaladze formed a three-center back combination, Palacio is still a free man in the front. ”
"At the beginning of the second half, AC Milan frequently played on the two wings, Seedorf and Cafu formed two wings, taking turns to attack the Red Rebels' defence, coupled with Palacio's response, although Mourinho replaced De Rossi and played a back three tactics, the situation was still unfavorable."
AC Milan decided to press out in the second half, which made them show a high attacking ** from the start, especially on the two flanks, causing quite a bit of trouble for the Red Rebels.
In the 47th minute, just two minutes into the second half, Cafu made a forward insertion on the right side to cooperate with Palacio, the Argentine quickly broke through along the right side, Evra had to let go of the tackle, and even the man shoveled out of bounds with the ball.
The referee rushed up, called Patrice Evra over, showed him a yellow card and warned him that it was a set-piece opportunity for AC Milan.
Jose Mourinho watched a headache from the sidelines and kept signaling his players to go back and participate in the defense.
Before the game, Mourinho had specially set up AC Milan's set-piece tactics, after all, Pirlo's free-kick skills were also quite good, and the power of the Rossoneri's set-piece tactics was not lost to the Red Rebels at all.
But when Pirlo's free kick was smashed into the goal by Nesta, Mourinho was still so angry that he scolded on the spot, because when he practiced set-piece tactics at the beginning, he kept reminding the players to pay close attention to Maldini and Nesta, who knows, or was scored!
However, Mourinho quickly woke up from the goal he conceded, constantly signaling the players to be steady, and at the same time arranging Essien and De Rossi to better protect the two wings, and Kaka and Drogba frequently retreated to participate in the defense.
From the first minute of the second half, the tempo was the quickest and both sides fought hard, especially AC Milan, who were desperate to get back on the scoresheet as soon as possible, especially when they pulled a goal back quickly after the opening.
This immediately puts the Red Rebels at a disadvantage on the field!
However, Mourinho quickly adjusted his team, with a back three based on defence, and although AC Milan were aggressive, they could not find the Red Rebels goal for a while.
Before I knew it, Cafu was 35 years old, and he had been running back and forth for 60 minutes in such a stressful game, and his physical fitness was gradually unable to keep up, which led to the slowing down of AC Milan's attack on the right and the Red Rebels slowly stabilizing the situation.
After scoring two goals in the first half to take the lead, the second half was naturally dominated by more secure tactics, and the Red Rebels, who stabilized the situation, also made adjustments.
In the 70th minute, Mourinho replaced Kaka, who had a good performance throughout the game, and the Brazilian's departure was enthusiastically applauded and cheered by the fans, and he gave the Red Rebels the lead with two goals in the first half, but after AC Milan's change of formation, he was restrained and remained on the pitch to little effect.
Replace Philip? After Lahm, the Red Rebels' tactics immediately changed to 4411, with Essien on the right, Lahm on the left wing, and Drogba and Rowe in front, and the three lines were kept very tight.
AC Milan, on the other hand, continued to strengthen their attack, replacing Seedorf with Serginho, using the Brazilian's speed and individual skills to constantly attack the right side of the Red Rebels.
Mourinho is constantly pointing the players to defend on the sidelines!
Don't blame Mourinho for being conservative, in fact, in the key finals where one side is crazy and the other side is leading, if you choose to press out and play against each other at this time, it will definitely be your head stuck by the door, and the show is funny!
Instead, he was replaced by Philip? After Lahm, the team played a better counterattack, stabilized the situation, limited AC Milan's attack, and constantly harassed AC Milan with sharp and fast counterattacks.
In the 75th minute, Mourinho made another adjustment, replacing Drogba with Villa, showing his determination to fight the defensive counterattack low, but Ronaldo was still active on the right side of AC Milan Cafu.
Tasotti watched from the sidelines as the Red Rebels counterattacked several times with Xiao Xiaoluo as the breakthrough point, and he was also speechless in his heart.
If Maldini on the left is still getting older, then Cafu on the right has shown a very obvious decline in form this year compared to last year, but what has not changed is the Brazilian's heart for assists.
However, with the increase in age and the decline in fitness, the Brazilian will definitely not be able to dominate the entire wing as before, so after Cafu comes forward to assist, someone must make up for him behind him, which can be made up against weak teams, but against strong teams like Red Rebels and Juventus, it will be difficult.
In both games, Juventus and the Red Rebels used Cafu as a breakthrough point, and both scored!
On the bench, Costacuta, Pancaro and Simic could all play in that position, but the first two have reached the end of their careers and are no longer as brave as they used to be, and Simic's ability is not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, forcing Tasotti to continue to rely on Cafu at right wing-back.
Tasotti had previously mentioned to Galliani that the Red Rebels were on loan at Thiago in Benfica? Silva and Alves would be the most powerful additions to AC Milan's squad, but due to financial problems, AC Milan can only get Thiago? Silva has been relieved of the centre-back crisis, but the right wing-back continues to rely on veterans such as Cafu and Pancarlo.
And Kolo, who has recently become a popular rebel? AC Milan were also included in the list of interested clubs when Toure applied for a transfer, but at the moment the Ivorians are hot in the transfer market, looking at a number of big clubs, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and other teams need to be added on the right side.
This makes Kolo? Toure became hot for a while, and although the Ivorians submitted transfer applications, the Red Rebels continued to release news, and it seems that they are still trying to keep the Ivorians. Toure's offer is getting higher and higher.
It is said that Chelsea have made an offer of £20 million in the hope that Kolo? Toure moves to Chelsea with Cannavaro, Stam and the already finalised Ashley? Together, Kerr forms a world-class backline.
However, Real Madrid have also taken a fancy to the player and hope he can replace Salgado, but both Real Madrid and Barcelona are also keeping a close eye on Sevilla's Sergio Ramos, the Spaniard youngster has been in excellent form for Sevilla this season and is La Liga's biggest discovery.
In addition, Benfica's Alves has also received close attention, attracting the attention of several giants.
…………………… As time went on, the AC Milan players began to feel the pressure, and they began to launch waves of crazy attacks, especially Serginho on the left, who became the focus of AC Milan's attack, and even Maldini frequently appeared in the midfield to assist.
But if you can't attack for a long time, the player's mentality will inevitably be anxious, and it is inevitable that they will make mistakes.
In the 82nd minute, AC Milan launched an attack on the left, Serginho was cut off by Essien and McConn, who shifted to the left with a big foot, and after Evra stopped the ball on his chest, he rushed along the left side.
Cafu was posted, but Patrice Evra passed it to De Rossi, who then passed it to David Beckham.
Beckham put on his standard passing stance, and immediately after receiving and stopping the ball, he immediately passed a pass that seemed to have passed through satellite positioning, and accurately passed the ball to the feet of Xiao Xiao Luo on the left.
The Portuguese teenager stopped the ball steadily, and in the face of Nesta, he calmly made a few feints, but he couldn't confuse the opponent and had to pass back to Beckham, who was inserted in the back row.
After stopping the ball, Xiaobei observed it, first dribbling the ball horizontally along the edge of the penalty area, but suddenly passed a through ball behind him.
Villa, who had been ambushed in the penalty area, suddenly accelerated, grabbed the ball before Maldini and Caradze, and shot low before Dida attacked, scoring the ball, 3:1!
This is a goal that sentenced AC Milan to death, and it is also a goal that completely disintegrates the fighting spirit and will of AC Milan players!
When Villa scored the winning goal, Mourinho was so excited that he was racing all over the field, his expression was as if he was the hero of the goal, and the Red Rebels fans in the scene were completely crazy.
They never dreamed that their team would win the championship in their first season in the Champions Cup!
This is another legendary piece of history in the Champions Cup!
"As everyone has said, the Red Rebels are a team that continues to make miracles and make history, and now they are once again a surprise and the king of Europe in the 04/05 season!"
'Drogba, Villa, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka, Beckham, Essien, De Rossi, Evra, Lahm, McConn, Terry, Nemanjac Vidic, Curtis, Cech...... Let's remember these names, because they will be etched in the history of the Champions Cup because of this match. ”
'It's a great team, a team full of potential, and we have reason to believe that this young team will dominate European football for years to come!'
