In Italy, many media ridiculed Ancelotti, thinking that he could not beat Yang Cheng on the court, so he wanted to use other ways to overwhelm the opponent, such as changing the position of the player.

There are a lot of players who have been changed by Carlo Ancelotti, such as Serginho playing left wing-back, but this is a less successful case, the more successful is Rui? Costa, the forward midfielder, plays the back midfield, but this is also considered to be emulating Yang Cheng's use of Pirlo and Emerson, which is not self-created.

As a result, Carlo Ancelotti pulled Kaladze into the middle of the pitch as a partner for Stamm, which also successfully stimulated Kaladze's form, making AC Milan's backline solid, one of the teams that have conceded the fewest goals in Serie A this season.

But sometimes, problems often don't appear when you're having a good time, but instead accumulate silently in ordinary times, and then explode in one breath when you encounter a predicament.

Liverpool opened 18 minutes, the two most threatening shots, one was Gerrard's strong shot in the back row, everyone saw Gerrard's insertion, the first reaction must be to ask, where is the back?

The second threatening shot was this one, Drogba cut in from behind, and it was clear that Kaladze didn't pick the right spot, he should have been in front of Drogba instead of following him, but he had picked the wrong spot from the start.

Therefore, when Drogba desperately moved forward, facing this low flat ball, he just poked his foot lightly, the ball hit his foot, crashed into the goal, Kaladze was beside him, he could only watch this scene happen, but he couldn't do anything because he was wrong!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！”

"18th minute. Liverpool finally opened the scoring when Ivory Coast elephant king Didier Drogba completed a scramble in the box and stabbed past AC Milan's goal, which was a very beautiful side-center! ”

After Drogba scored, he shook off Kaladze's hand, which was still holding his shirt, and rushed to the bottom of the KOP stand, just in front of the corner flagstick. made a gesture of standing up and saluting, but his expression was indescribably serious.

"Haha, this guy is so funny, but this goal is really beautiful!"

"Gerrard's diagonal pass is very lethal, and Ronaldo's assault ability and speed on the left side are also impressive. Drogba's attack in the back row fully reflects the beauty of strength and speed, and Liverpool's goal is very hearty! ”

I saw that the Liverpool players rushed to Drogba one by one, hugged the big man hard, and everyone was celebrating over there, waving to the fans in the stands.

'AC Milan made a very serious mistake by letting the ball stay in their own half too much and they should have sent the ball forward as much as possible. After all, it is dangerous to have too much possession of the ball in your own half when you are pressed by the opposition in the front court, especially when you are so strongly pressed by Liverpool. ”

'We were all worried about Liverpool when Gerrard hit the crossbar, fearing that Liverpool would lose the game because of their impatience, but now we see that Liverpool are more mature than they were last season, they have conceded two goals away from home. In the case of an unfavorable start at home, he still did not panic, and still implemented Yang Cheng's tactics in an orderly manner. ”

Speaking of which, the on-site commentator couldn't help but sigh when he saw the TV camera aimed at Yang Cheng, who was not shocked on the sidelines: "Yang Cheng's tactics in this game have limited AC Milan very well, and we were still wondering why we should give up Carrick." Choosing Davis, now we can all see that since it is a front-court pressing counterattack, Carrick's role is very small, on the contrary. His defensive deficiencies will make Liverpool's midfield defence weak. ”

"On the contrary, it is the combination of Davis and Essien, which makes Liverpool's midfield interception coverage very wide, almost everywhere, coupled with the lack of a real wide attacker in AC Milan, so the entire midfield is suppressed by Liverpool."

"But we should also see that AC Milan also created a few very threatening opportunities, especially the single knife of Big Inzaghi, but Hyypia's next few performances and aerial duels were very solid, after all, high and high play is not a tactic that AC Milan is good at, Ancelotti should consider making adjustments, or even changing formations." ...,"Because AC Milan does not have a wide attacker, Liverpool's two full-backs can press very high, and can even frequently step forward to help the double back midfielder press, which is equivalent to pushing the overall back line forward, but AC Milan lacks the ability to penetrate this line of defense, and Kaka is also lonely in the middle!" ”

…………

…………

With Didier Drogba scoring the first goal for Liverpool, the situation began to open up.

Liverpool still insisted on their tactics of fighting the beast, using the advantage in midfield and front, pressing the heart of AC Milan, and launching fierce attacks on this area.

Liverpool's 433 tactics can be played very flexibly, with two wingers pushing forward, that is, three forwards, but they can also drop back to meet the midfield, and Gerrard, Davies and Essien are in good fitness after a week's rest, and the team has the initiative again, so they are very active in the midfield and have a lot of running range.

Reese and Glenn? Johnson also boldly pressed on the flanks, especially when they were in possession of the ball, and they were very resolute in to provide the ball from the midfield.

AC Milan's midfield configuration looks beautiful and artistic, but the problem is that Gattuso alone is simply not enough.

Even Claude Makelele can't support the entire midfield by himself at Chelsea, and the same is true for Patrick Vieira at Juventus, and Gattuso's type of player makes it impossible for him to be a pillar of the midfield.

In the set of luxury 4 10 midfielders built by Yang Cheng in Inter Milan, Nedved and Emerson are both capable of attacking and defending, without Nedved and Emerson, Inter Milan's midfielder will not be able to play the creativity of 4 10s, and beauty will become a castle in the air.

AC Milan today is overly inclined towards beauty. So Rui? Costa, Seedorf and Kaka are all at the same time, but the question is, none of these three players are very involved in defending, even Rui? Costa, the Portuguese's age makes him only able to stand and unable to achieve wide coverage and running.

As a result, the four players in midfield can only rely on Gattuso, and once they can't do what Ancelotti wants, they can control the ball. Then AC Milan's midfield will be seriously unbalanced.

So immediately after Liverpool scored the first goal, the offensive became lively.

Liverpool's tactics are simple, let you keep the ball at the back, I step up the front court, just grab one. I'll fight back.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in front of AC Milan's goal.

In the 20th minute, Robben received a pass from Gerrard on the right side, and after not being able to get rid of Maldini's defense, he chose to dribble the ball to the right rib and face Kaladze and Rui at the edge of the penalty area. When Costa defends, he relies on his ability to dribble the ball. Pulled out of the gap, hit a curling shot, went out against the crossbar, high!

But one minute later, Davies broke the ball again, Gerrard passed the ball over the top, Drogba probed into the box for offside, and stopped the ball on his chest. Tried to volley, but missed the target, causing the ball to be crooked from the South Pole to the North Pole.

After the Ivorian center completed the shot, he smiled, lying on the ground for a long time and didn't dare to get up, obviously feeling that he was a little ashamed to see people.

After 3 minutes. Rui? Costa brought down Steven Gerrard from behind, Ronaldo fired a direct free-kick that was tipped over the crossbar by Dida, and then the corner was crossed by Carragher. Caused chaos in the AC Milan penalty area, with Kaladze almost scoring an own goal in the chaos.

"Liverpool played a furious attack, and AC Milan's defence looked shaky and a little unsupportable!"

'It's clear that Kaladze is a bit of a mentally shaky person, he made mistakes in defending Drogba and now Liverpool are clearly playing behind the defence, which puts both of AC Milan's centre-backs under a lot of pressure.

The live TV camera showed Carlo Ancelotti on the sidelines, and Ancelotti stood steadily, but his face was expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking or whether he had any way to stop Liverpool's attack.

"The tactics that AC Milan are good at have been contained and defused by Liverpool, maybe he should consider a targeted deployment and stabilize the situation first."

But as soon as he finished saying this, Liverpool completed another break in the midfield! …,…………

…………

I don't know if it was teased by Yang Cheng before the game, Davies performed very well in this game, he ran almost everywhere in AC Milan's midfield with his physical strength, as soon as the ball entered his area, he blocked it.

It's a nightmare to be a short player, not slow, low center of gravity, to be entangled by such a player.

This can't help but remind Yang Cheng of the Barcelona Universe team in his previous life, the average height of that team is very short, which makes them very flexible both in attack and defense, especially in the front court.

Davies is like this now, he is not only low in gravity, flexible in body, his defensive moves are fierce, but also very accurate, very experienced, so that Seedorf who is entangled by him is simply a headache, if it is not for the fact that Davies is the captain of the Dutch national team, he really wants to scold.

But the more irritated he is, the easier it is to concede the ball.

Just when he was taking the ball a little bigger, Davis suddenly jumped out of his right side, and the advantage of this small player was that he was small, like a loach, and as soon as he jumped out, he carried Seedorf with his back, as if he was cutting in line, blocking in front of him.

Seedorf could only watch the ball that had just hurt at his feet, controlled by Davis, and this little man was not only flexible in breaking the ball, but also flexible in his dribbling, as soon as he broke the ball, he carried Seedorf with one hand, stopped his Dutch compatriots, and carried the ball forward.

By the time Seedorf reacted and caught up, he was already quite far behind.

Davis dribbled forward with the ball and didn't rush to pass it. Instead, he looked up at his surroundings, and he saw that Gerrard was pulling out space for him, Robben and Drogba were moving forward, and in front of him, due to Rui? Costa doesn't have a lot of range and there are almost no people in front of him.

He immediately realised it was an opportunity and went straight on the ball.

This kind of thing is not uncommon for young Davis. His dribbling after breaking the ball is even seen as a great weapon to break the balance on the court many times, but as he gets older, this dribbling gradually decreases.

But because of this, his dribbling this time was very sudden.

Rui? Costa leaned in close to the box to defend him. Drogba retreated, bringing out Stam, but Gerrard, who was a little further to the right, rushed forward and formed a counter-run with Drogba, rushing into the space after Stam was pulled out.

Davies passed the ball to Drogba, and the Ivorian stopped the ball and knocked it back as he ran back. Without the slightest drag of mud and water, Stam couldn't interfere behind him, Rui? Costa couldn't stop the two either, after all, people don't come as fast as the ball.

Drogba's pass was between Davies and Karadze, the Dutchman rushed forward, but Kaladze hesitated and rushed out, but he was a little hesitant just now. Davies got a step ahead of him and stabbed the ball into the box, to the right of the penalty spot.

The whole thing happened in an instant, and Gerrard had just burst into the box to meet Davies's stabbing pass, and he didn't waste another chance and spread his arms. Pick up your right foot and meet the incoming ball is a volley.

The ball was close to the ground and went through the arms of Dida at breakneck speed and into the net.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！” The excited shouts of the on-site commentators!

Gerrard burst out of the penalty area and spread his arms. Excitedly, he rushed to the corner flagpole and fell to his knees on the grass.

Liverpool's team-mates all around him rushed up and surrounded him one by one.

"It's too fast, Liverpool's whole break-off counterattack is advancing so fast that AC Milan simply don't have time to react!"

"2:0, the two teams are back on the same starting line, Liverpool started from the 18th minute, in just 15 minutes, scored 2 goals in a row, and the aggregate score was back to a 2:2 draw!"

The whole Anfield stadium stands are crazy!

Yang Cheng laughed after seeing Gerrard score, and stretched out two fingers at the Liverpool fans in the stands, I don't know if it means 2:0, or if he is asking the team to score 2 more goals! ..., "Surprised, really surprised!" The on-site narrator was still a little incredulous.

"This Liverpool team is really tenacious, and it can even be said that the first leg is just a small hurdle for them, they have no doubt that they can qualify, and every player expressed confidence in an interview with reporters."

"If it's just one player, that's fine, but when all the players are not discouraged and are confident that they can come back, the shock is really unbelievable, and we can't even imagine what kind of motivation is behind them and supports them."

The scene of the commentators seeing the Liverpool players celebrating in the corner flag area was really incredible.

"If AC Milan's 2-0 home win over Liverpool in the first leg, coupled with the absence of the main central defender Nemanja Vidic, made everyone not hopeful for Liverpool, then in this game, in this short 33 minutes, Liverpool scored two goals in a row, and once again made everyone who doubted them smash their glasses."

"We can't understand where their confidence comes from, but we can see from them, from their performances, that their confidence is not a bluff, they are really confident, even in a bad start, they have never wavered in that confidence."

Speaking of this, the on-site commentator suddenly understood, and when he saw the players on the court celebrating a little too much, Yang Cheng rushed to the sidelines and shouted at them, and the players walked back with a smile one by one, he understood.

"Perhaps, Yang Cheng is the source of their confidence!"

"Dalglish said that Yang Cheng's greatest contribution to this team during his three years in Liverpool is not the championship trophy, of course, he does not deny the importance of the championship trophy to the team, but he feels that Yang Cheng has reshaped the soul and spirit for Liverpool, which is more important and greater than any championship!"

"I think we should have enough reason to hope that once Liverpool reach the final, they really hope to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since the Champions League was restructured, although this is not what UEFA, as the governing body, would like to see, but it is definitely something that all the fans talk about."

"Isn't it a matter of course that the strongest team wins?"

Just as the on-site commentator was saying this, AC Milan returned to the center circle to kick off, Gilardino and Big Inzaghi were depressed, kicking the ball back after kick-off, and it seemed that they did not want to face Liverpool's defense directly.

But in the stands of Liverpool, there was a faint sound.

"Goal! Goal!! Goal!!! ”

The voice was faint at first, but gradually, more and more KOPs joined the ranks, and even many fans took the initiative to stand up, wave their arms, and shout at the stadium.

"Goal! Goal!! Goal!!! ”

That momentum not only swept the audience, but even the audience in front of the live TV could feel the momentum, the inspiring fighting spirit.

"Goal! Goal!! Goal!!! ”

When tens of thousands of Liverpool fans shouted in unison to score again, all the Liverpool players on the pitch felt the desire from the fans, and every player was deeply infected.

They are hungry to score, they are hungry to reach the final, they are hungry to be the first team to defend the Champions League after the restructuring, to recreate the era of Shankly and Paisley, the invincible Reds dynasty that dominated the Europa.
