In the Champions League final, the players were more cautious, and there were more superstitions on the field for no reason.Walking into the court, left foot first or right foot first?When Giuly stepped into the field, he almost broke the egg. He dared to step on the sideline today.
Smith deliberately passed by Pirlo, muttering, "The trombone, the trombone is my lucky item, haha."
Pirlo's face changed slightly, "This guy is deliberately finding fault? Obviously the cornet is my lucky item."
As the rhythm of "the champion" sounded, the fans of Dream Theater began to applaud, and fans all over the world were paying attention to the Champions League final.
The camera swept across, and the players were in high spirits.
The starting lineup of the visiting team AC Milan is full of domineering, and the strength of the players crushes Monaco.Ancelotti's lineup is 4312, the lineup is long and narrow, and the defense is strong.
At the goalkeeper position, Dida beat Abbiati to start.On the back line, from left to right, there are Karadze, Maldini, Nesta and Costacurta, with a very tacit combination, and the two central defenders are known as the best partners.
The three midfielders are Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso. Gattuso is on the right side, because Costacurta's assist ability is not good, his defensive task is very heavy, and he has to wipe Pirlo's ass.
In the front midfielder position, Costa started, and the front two forwards were the ghostly Inzaghi and the explosive Shevchenko.
Although this lineup is not as shining as Real Madrid's stars, every player is top-notch, and when combined, the key battles are never soft.
Monaco's starting lineup looks much shabby, young and old, not many famous players.The formation is also a standard match of 442, and there are not many bright spots.
There were no accidents for the five players in the backcourt, and there were no other treasures for the main players.Roma's starting goalkeepers, Evra, Givet, Rodriguez and Ibarra played without any surprises, and the fans are used to it.
In terms of midfield, Jiangshan arranged Ribery, Chikos, Cisse, and Giuly. Ribery started two consecutive games and was very excited.
Warcraft Drogba and left-footed Beckham - Roten did not get the chance to start, sitting on the bench waiting.
At the forward position, Roundup and Smith started.Nongda is recovering well and feels good on his feet. He got the chance to start today, and his interspersed running is also necessary to deal with Milan's strong central defender combination.
Drogba and Pusauer are easily restricted by Milan's two central defenders, and the game is definitely not as effective as the flexible players.Smith retreated slightly and appeared behind Roundup.
Ancelotti saw Monaco's formation, "Little fox, I will not be fooled if I want to use Smith's impact. Gattuso will make him feel the cruelty of the Champions League."
Smith played both games against Real Madrid, and scored a golden goal in the second round, killing Real Madrid and getting the chance to start the Champions League final; in the first round, Smith's goal was ruled offside, and the slow-motion replay was a misjudgment by the referee.
Guardiola looked nervously at the players on the field, "Fortunately, the overtime match with Real Madrid only lasted 5 minutes, otherwise it is hard to say whether the players can recover their physical fitness."
In the past few days, he has been in a good mood. The team has started negotiations with him. As long as he retires, he can get an assistant contract.In the last few rounds of the league, Jiangshan arranged for him to play, and even held a retirement ceremony for him at that time.
At the start of the game, AC Milan kicked off first.The Monaco players retreated to defend, and the two sides began to test each other.
Inzaghi passed to Shevchenko's feet and returned to the midfield. Gattuso quickly passed the ball to Pirlo.
Pirlo is in the middle of the organization. Pirlo's body and speed are not good, and his breakthrough ability is not good. In the past two years, he struggled particularly in the front midfielder position. With Gattuso and Seedorf partnering with him, he finally released Pirlo's ability.
The combination of the three has a good effect in controlling the midfield.There have been many outstanding performances in the Champions League this season.Pirlo was still the same as before, observing the positions of his teammates, but unexpectedly a player in red appeared beside him.
Red dress, blonde hair, Smith.Smith did not retreat, but Roundup did.Then Pirlo didn't pay attention and the ball was taken away.
Smith took a step forward, faced Gattuso, shifted quickly, and passed back to Cisse behind him.Cisse also has no advantage in facing Seedorf.
Seedorf's ability to defend and organize offenses is very strong, and his overall strength is far superior to Cisse. Cisse also did not dare to neglect, so he had to distribute the ball to the wing and Ibarra went up.
Down the bottom, in the cross, Nongda received the ball and shot before Maldini was close. The angle was a bit right, and Dida punched it out.Karadze broke the ball out of the boundary and resolved the danger.
Smith approached Nongda, "Dida is still not as good as Abbiati, if Abbiati would definitely keep the ball in his arms."
"Of course, the players with small moves can't believe it."
Dida's face was ugly, but he didn't have a seizure.
For a throw-in, Roundup and Smith didn't cooperate well enough, Nesta broke out of the penalty area and fell to Seedorf's feet.
Seedorf dribbled the ball in a good rhythm, easily broke through Cisse's defense, went to the frontcourt, and gave it to Rui Costa in front.
Costa's ball-handling skills are good, but he is not clear. He has not been able to catch the eyes of Milan fans, and he has no fans.
Costa saw the timing, passed the ball with strong penetrating power, and missed Rodriguez and Chicos. Inzaghi started it, and he had been waiting for a long time.
beep!
After Inzaghi received the ball, the referee immediately whistled and it was offside.
Evra commanded the defense and quietly moved forward a few positions. Fortunately, the team's ability to create an offside trap was good, and it was the first time to contain Inzaghi and succeeded.
Inzaghi was very annoyed. If he took a step back just now, he would have hoped to get the ball. Shevchenko came to comfort him.
Monaco attacked and did not invest many troops. Smith and Nunda were cruising in the frontcourt. Ribery was restricted by Gattuso and could not play. Giuly stepped into the frontcourt.
Seedorf had no choice but to retreat.
In the current Milan, Seedorf's organizational ability is very important. Pirlo's combination of long and short passes is great. The pass at the moment of transition from defense to offense is very coquettish, but the team organization depends on Seedorf's support.
Now Pirlo's position is not enough to retreat, and Ancelotti is still exploring the way of playing with the front midfielder and the back, and it will take time.
10 minutes before the opening, the two teams continued to test, not many people were involved in the offense, the threat was small, and the transition was smooth.
"The tension of the players has eased, and the next step is to kill with real swords and guns." Guardiola looked at the situation on the field, "Coach Jiangshan, should we increase our breakthrough on the right?"
"No, go left." Jiang Shan sneered, "Do you think Ribery is uglier or Gattuso uglier?"
"Of course it's Ribery. Gattuso is quite handsome." Guardiola shrugged. Is there any player uglier than Ribery in football?
I don't know if he heard Guardiola's words, Ribery received the ball, suddenly rushed up, faced Gattuso, dribbled, and broke through.
Gattuso was not familiar with Ribery, so he had to intercept him horizontally, without giving him any room to break through. When he saw Ribery showing timidity, he hurriedly prodded, "Don't back down! Hey, little guy, let me take good care of you."
Ribery grinned, a little scary, "ugly, you can't guard me." With a pick pass, the ball went over the top, and Ribery followed and broke through from the right.
"Has the ball been scored? Hehe, what a joke." Gattuso disapproved, turned around, and got stuck.
Franck Ribery developed in the middle, and the ball just fell at the feet of Evra who was sprinting up. Evra faced Costacurta and had an advantage in speed. After getting rid of it, he calmly crossed and the threatening ball appeared.
