388. Two-goal lead
Little Maldini, sitting next to Maldini, couldn't help but stand up, and the applause turned into a regretful amazement!
Gattuso and Maldini couldn't help but shake their bodies. In the end, they still couldn't stand up and applauded the excitement of their old teammate Kaka.
"It would be great if Kaka didn't go to Real Madrid back then!" Gattuso remembered him very much.
Kaka's trip to Real Madrid is a watershed in Milan's decline. Since Kaka left, Milan has begun to decline. With the departure of that generation of superstars, Milan's fall can be seen with the naked eye. Ibrahimovic is just a flash in the pan, and it is not as good as the past.
"There is no if in this world, everyone looks forward!" Maldini remembered that before Kaka went to Real Madrid, he had talked to Kaka, and he knew that Kaka went to Real Madrid was also helpless.
In fact, he doesn't want to leave Milan either, but Milan's management said it nicely, and everything obeys the players' wishes, but in fact it's not the same thing.
"I am confident in this game now. If Kaka can perform well, we will not be able to fight, right?!" Gattuso said.
"Well, don't forget that Balotelli is there. In fact, this kid can occasionally make a flash of inspiration!" Maldini also had a little confidence.
But the situation on the court then made them very worried. Milan's offense relies entirely on the flash of inspiration from the players, while Manchester City put pressure on the right team.
They then broke Milan's blockade through skillful pass control. In the 5th minute, after Milan concedes the ball in the frontcourt, Manchester City immediately launched a quick counterattack. After Costa passed two consecutive times, he made a cross on the wing. Dzeko beat Bonella and headed the ball to break through the goal of Abiatti's handle!
"Oh yeah!" Manchester City fans in the visiting team's fan area burst into cheers that penetrated the stadium. It was unexpected that everyone had scored such a fast goal.
"Coconut shreds!" Wensheng waved his fists. Milan was not honest after the opening. They still wanted to attack. Seedorf probably wanted to win a victory at home. In Wensheng's opinion, this was a huge flaw left to Manchester City.
Sidorf has left De Jong and Essin in the midfield, but the slightest difference between the two gives Costa the opportunity to fight De Sillio alone.
Wensheng is not sure if Seidov has thought of a problem, "It is terrible to concede the ball at home!"
"Not conceding a goal at home is the biggest victory at home!" This statement may have no idea about Seidov, after all, everyone has different opinions.
Sidorf stood on the sidelines speechless. He really didn't understand the fallacies that Wen Sheng thought, but one thing he knew was that Manchester City was often easier than home when playing away games.
Prime Minister Bei's personal guidance actually did not change Seedorf's determination. He knew that Milan was the most important thing to defend in this game, so he wanted to plan to defend.
But at the beginning of this game, Seidorf planned to give Manchester City some small colors and speculate!
However, this time it was really a disaster. Manchester City actually caught Milan's frontcourt mistake and completed the goal in five minutes. The next game would be difficult for Milan.
Sidorf stood on the sidelines and wanted to say something, but he found that he didn't know what to say, should he continue to attack, or should he retreat and stabilize the defense first?!
Rookie coaches are often prone to falling into this dilemma. Sometimes they expect the players' fighting spirit to be stimulated, but sometimes they worry too much about their own defense and offensive dilemma.
Teams like Manchester City are extremely experienced. Taking advantage of Milan's trance, they accelerated the transmission rhythm and were very fast. They made personal breakthroughs, made crosses from the wing, and had long shots on the outside in different ways to threaten Abiatti's goal.
It took several minutes before Seidov passed his instructions to retreat and stabilize his defense first. In such a short few minutes, Milan almost conceded twice.
"I didn't post this game anymore. What the hell is this? The defense is too bad and it's easily exposed by the opponent! De Jong and Essin are both waste!" Gattuso was furious and cursed behind Maldini's back.
Maldini was speechless. In the previous games, Milan looked very smooth, but the original shape was revealed as soon as he played in this game. Faced with Manchester City's high-tempo transmission, Milan did not even have the ability to parry.
Wen Sheng kept walking around the sidelines, hoping that the team would score the second goal soon, but unfortunately Abiati's courage blocked Dzeko and Silva's must-have goals, making Manchester City miss the opportunity to expand the score.
From thirteen minutes later, Manchester City and Milan became a half-court offensive and defensive drill.
De Jong began to perform well, interception and running very actively, while Essim really dropped his level and his performance was not so good.
Manchester City can frequently send the ball to the penalty area, but Milan's central defender seems to be a little more reliable. He attacked Dzeko, and Dzeko could not easily get the ball.
The game continued to be anxious, and it was not until the 32nd minute that the stadium was in trouble again. Essin pulled De Bruyne, who cut inside at the front of the penalty area, made a foul. Manchester City got a set piece opportunity. De Bruyne took the penalty himself and made a full moon scimitar. The arc was extremely beautiful. The old Abiati finally had no choice but to watch the ball into the net.
2:0, Manchester City led 2:0 in the away game.
The game went smoothly, but Wen Sheng was a little unbelievable. In fact, Milan's background should have given their players some bonuses, but now it seems that there is really no.
Kaka tried his best to go back to defend, and Balotelli was alone in the frontcourt waiting for the ball to come to him.
Wensheng wishes to see him look like this. To be honest, you can't say that he doesn't work hard, after all, this is the style of others.
Milan is not without attacks, the problem is that their problem is that it is too difficult to turn around.
Balotelli is really unable to be the pillar of the team, but he really has talent. Wen Sheng is so beautiful that he is very careful about this guy. Van Dijk and Kompany take turns to play, watching him tightly, and in any case he doesn't let him get the ball comfortably.
Of course, it is not easy for Milan to pass the half.
"Look, this is the real gap! It's not without reason that we are only in the middle of the league now, but this is the strength!" Maldini turned around helplessly and spread his hands at his old teammates.
"No matter how bad it is, it can't be so bad. Look at it, there is no attack at all. I remember, it's almost halftime, we only have one shot, that's Kaka!" Gattuso was so sorry that he couldn't make a big move.
On the court, Manchester City has slowed down, and Milan has begun to tentatively expand the formation. Manchester City is very cunning and keeps passing the ball backwards to the backcourt, trying to attract the opponent.
Balotelli wanted his teammates to put pressure on Manchester City's defense on the court, but Seidorf dared not do so. Milan's snatch distance is very limited.
Chapter completed!
