In the 13th minute of the first half, when Lao Lei tried to dribble forward by himself again in the front court, the football at his feet was rarely broken by Gattuso, Pirlo and Seedorf. The chain defence, which has long been famous in Italian football, is finally showing its power at this moment. The tight, orderly and tacit position allowed Lao Lei to get into the bag circle of the three of them at once without paying attention. When Lao Lei realized that something was wrong and wanted to pass the ball to his teammates, it was too late, and Gattuso, who had been pestering him by Lao Lei's side, used a fierce sliding tackle to cut off the football at Lao Lei's feet.

For Lao Lei, it has been a very long time since he was cut off the ball. However, fortunately, he reacted quickly and did not give AC Milan time to launch a sharp counter-attack, and pushed down Gattuso who had the ball behind him. Then there was Gattuso's extreme dissatisfaction, and the hot-tempered Italian got up again almost the moment he fell to the ground, and opened his mouth to Lao Lei and scolded angrily.

I have to say that Lao Lei's foul was very timely. With Andrea Pirlo's playmaker, Kaka's impact and Shepchenko's individual ability, AC Milan have one of the sharpest and most formidable counter-attacking combinations in world football at the moment. Once AC Milan succeeds in counter-attacking with Lao Lei not in a defensive position, Rao is a rock-solid Chelsea defence, which may be more than lucky.

Therefore, it can be determined that Lao Lei's foul this time can be regarded as a great value for money. However, on the football field, Lao Lei has always been a "black-hearted businessman" who is never satisfied, and this led to the scene where he later provoked Gattuso. In the case of a foul on its own. He wondered if he could get a yellow card for the victim Gattuso, or at least be on the blacklist of the referee on duty in the game. Once this goal is accomplished. It will be a huge benefit for Chelsea in the coming game time. After all, Gattuso is AC Milan's crucial midfield gate, and it can even be said that without Gattuso, there would be no AC Milan's midfield interception.

It's a pity. Ideas are good, but they are not so easy to implement. The AC Milan players, who had long been accustomed to Gattuso's style of play, had already come to Gattuso's side quickly the moment Gattuso was brought down. Without waiting for Gattuso to say a few words, he pulled him away, ignoring the regretful look in Old Lei's resentful eyes. The only thing left for Lao Lei was the warning from the referee's righteous words that had come to him.

"Hahaha, look at the look in Reima's eyes, this is really a cunning bad boy. In this season's Premier League, there have been many famous players who have suffered his losses. Although he is a junior. But it is obvious that in the realm of small actions and tricks, he has long been out of the blue, and he is better than the blue. Look at his unwilling eyes, hahaha, what he wants to do most now is probably to kick Pirlo, who pulled Gattuso away. Lineker, who had long been clear about Lao Lei's playing style and small movements, laughed when he saw this scene.

No matter how regretful and unwilling Lao Lei was, the game would start again immediately. As the game resumed, Chelsea's formation was retracted under the instructions of the elder Ray and reverted to the style of play set out by Jose Mourinho before the game. He knows very well that he can continue to play like this at AC Milan, who have come to their senses. It's a very stupid thing to do, especially when you're already ahead of the score.

Seeing Lao Lei's instructions and actions, Mourinho on the sidelines also nodded reassuringly, he knew that Lao Lei still kept his head calm. I didn't get blinded by a momentary advantage. If it is no longer possible to take advantage of the opportunity to continue to increase the score, a temporary retraction is the best solution. Playing against AC Milan is gambling and there are no guarantees. On an important occasion like the Champions League final. Unless necessary, it is best not to adopt such a strategy.

For this. Ancelotti on the sidelines was clearly aware of that. Looking at Chelsea's retracting formation, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes. But. His lack of pity didn't last long, as he had superhuman confidence in his team's attacking prowess, even against Chelsea, one of the best defendings in European football today. Moreover, it didn't take long for the AC Milan players to prove that Ancelotti's self-confidence was correct.

AC Milan, who kept the football at their feet, soon launched a steady and tentative attack on the Chelsea defence, showing a calm and confident strong block. "Cut! It's not that easy! Seeing this scene, Lao Lei said secretly in his heart. Even if he knows that a strong team like AC Milan will not mess up even if he falls behind in the Champions League final, but when he sees that the situation is really like this, Lao Lei still inevitably has a trace of regret in his heart, and a nervous AC Milan is much easier to deal with than a calm AC Milan.

However, Lao Lei didn't have much time to regret. Because of the shape on the field, he soon had to devote himself to defense. AC Milan's strong ability to control the field allows AC Milan to keep the ball firmly at their feet when facing the siege of Chelsea players, patiently looking for holes in Chelsea's defence. At times like these, if one of the Chelsea players is not careful, the AC Milan stars will be able to deliver the fatal blow without the slightest sloppiness.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Kaka, who had won the ball on the right side of the front, faced the defense of Makelele, and after turning with a back-heel knock, he immediately got up to speed and left Makelele behind. His sudden burst of force, which quickened the tempo, caught the Chelsea defence a little off guard. Kaka's explosive power and sprinting speed allowed Bridge to use tactical fouls to block his progress. This time, Kaka's small attempt, although it seems that it has not achieved any effect, has shown the edge of AC Milan in a small way.

This kind of calm and strong ability to take chances is the biggest headache for any team, because no one can always be vigilant and focused no matter what, and there will always be moments of slackness, even in the Chelsea defence. And this point, especially when the opponent can control the football, will be infinitely magnified.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Chelsea finally made a mistake. After AC Milan's corner from the left side of the field, although it was John Terry who grabbed the first spot, Chelsea made a mistake in the second spot. When Makelele, who appeared in the second drop of the ball, stopped the ball and wanted to hand it to Ray, Kaka actively and timely stepped up to cause Makelele's mistake. The powerful explosiveness allowed him to rush in front of Makelele in a few big strides, and the French defender was obviously unprepared for this.

After breaking the ball, Kaka didn't give Makelele or Lao Lei on the side any time to counter-attack, but poked his toes and sent a through ball like a scalpel. At the same time, Shepchenko, who has been ambushing in the penalty area, tacitly succeeded in countering offside. Stopping the ball and turning around, Ukraine's nuclear warhead showed its demeanor as a world-class striker with smooth and swift skills. After facing Cech head-on, he didn't make any adjustments and just fired a shot into the far corner. Thankfully, Cech was quick enough to make a save that would have equalised the score.

The dangerous save not only caused a wave of exclamations from the Chelsea fans for the rest of their lives, but also gave the Chelsea players a real sense of AC Milan's attacking edge. "It's dangerous, Shepchenko almost rewrote the score. AC Milan's ability to grasp the momentary fighter in a calm scene is terrifying. The Chelsea commentator was in the mood to speak to all the fans.

However, although the attack was not successful in the end, it also greatly boosted the morale of the AC Milan players, and the Rossoneri attacked aggressively. However, Chelsea are not completely suppressed. Although the overall technical gap in midfield has given Chelsea no longer the advantage in possession. But it was enough for Chelsea to launch an attack on AC Milan, especially when they had to press out to get the ball because they were behind.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, it was Chelsea's time of possession. The old ray in front of him faced Makelele's pass, did not do anything, and directly rubbed the outside of his right foot to Lampard behind him without looking, and then he immediately accelerated to try to get rid of Gattuso. The combination between Lao Lei's non-human suddenness and Chelsea teammates has always been a sharp weapon for him to get rid of close defense, because no matter who the defender is, he can't keep up with Lao Lei's sudden change of pace in this situation, and he will always be one step slower.

Even Gattuso, who defends like a dogskin plaster, is no exception. His momentary reaction at this time couldn't keep up with a little, so he gave Lao Lei the space and time to take the ball and handle it. By the time he turned around to catch up with Ray again, Ray had already managed to receive the ball from Frank Lampard. Then, before Gattuso's interference came up, Lao Lei used the outside of his right foot to make a beautiful pass directly to the head of Drogba in the penalty area. His own left leg was hit by Gattuso's right knee, and as soon as he was numb, he fell to the court.

In this attack, although Lao Lei paid the price of being brought down, but unfortunately, Drogba's header was slightly over the crossbar, and he got a worthless infringement. And this time, because the referee had already made a decision in favour of the attack, Chelsea did not get a free-kick in front. And Gattuso received only a verbal warning, and did not pay any other price.

"Stinky boy, how's it going?! It's just an appetizer! Wait for me!! After receiving the referee's warning, Gattuso irresponsibly forgot about it, came to Lao Lei's ear, and let go of the cruel words.

Looking at the back of Gattuso's departure, Lao Lei knew that this "most familiar stranger" was on the same page with him at this moment.

Stamped his right foot, which was still slightly numb, and a trace of excitement and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

It's like a beast that sees its prey!

Terrible!!

Intimidating !! (To be continued......)
