Chapter 305 Tottenham is out of play?

"...2-0! Shevchenko's goal helped AC Milan lead two goals in the game. Tottenham is really dangerous now!" Looking at the AC Milan player who was celebrating the goal on the court, Andy Gray's tone showed a little helplessness and despair, "C Ronaldo was too uneasy tonight. Faced with the joint encirclement of Martini and Gattuso, even a top right forward like Figo was not sure of a successful breakthrough. He dared to rush over to fight alone. I really don't know if he should be bold or the ignorant is fearless."

"I don't think it's all because of Cristiano Ronaldo." Compared to Andy Gray, who was quite disappointed with Cristiano Ronaldo, Martin Taylor clearly sees this issue more thoroughly. "To be honest, most of the people on the court today are too young and lack experience in the competition. Among the eleven starting players, only Cech, Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo and Davis participated in the European Cup in Portugal last year, and only Davis and Alonso had experience in knockout matches in the Champions League. Such a situation has led to the key points of Tottenham players in the Champions League final.

The occasion was a little helpless and did not perform at all at all. For example, the goal just now seemed to be because Ronaldo was cut off in the frontcourt, which caused AC Milan to make a quick counterattack, but the subsequent response of Mascherano and Ridley King was also very problematic - the former did not take tactical fouls in time, which gave Kaka the opportunity to directly attack the Tottenham's defense line; the latter was attracted by Kaka together with Vidic, and did not notice Shevchenko's movements, which eventually led to the successful counter-offside of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead."

"That's right, this goal is not all about Ronaldo alone." Andy Gray nodded, agreeing with his partner's point of view. "And, I don't know if you posted Martin, I think Alonso's performance today is also a problem. Although from the game statistics, his passing success rate has not decreased significantly compared to usual, in the two events of forward passes and threatening balls, Espanyol's passing success rate has dropped sharply!"

"I can only say that these players in AC Milan's judgment of the ball path is really accurate. Alonso's passing intention is too obvious and they can't hide it from their eyes." Martin Taylor looked at the statistics and found that things were indeed as Andy Gray said. "It seems that Coach Ancelotti must have made targeted arrangements in advance about how to limit Alonso. Otherwise, AC Milan would never limit Alonso to such a level!"

"I hope coach Nelson can come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to get Tottenham out of the predicament." Andy Gray can only pray now that this George Nelson, who is the title of "No. 1 Young Coach of the Premier League", can lead Tottenham to create another miracle, rather than let Barcelona's extremely miserable scene appear again in the 93-94 Champions League final!

George also saw the problems that Andy Gray and Martin Taylor saw. He knew that in order to curb the momentum of AC Milan, he had to strangle the two most threatening points of the Red and Black Legion - Pirlo, who is the core of the organization and Kaka, who is the frontcourt assaulter!

Pirlo's excellent overall view and organizational and scheduling ability allow every counterattack of AC Milan to point directly to the weakness of Tottenham's defense line. Kaka's existence has brought the necessary vitality and momentum to AC Milan, which is already showing signs of aging in the first team, organically connecting the midfield and frontcourt. It can be said that it is the existence of these two people, coupled with an old and strong defense line, that AC Milan was able to make Tottenham in this UEFA Champions League final!

However, although the midfield combination of Pirlo and Kaka supported AC Milan's backbone, this does not mean that Tottenham has no chance to turn the tables. Otherwise, Liverpool in his previous life would not have staged the Istanbul miracle that fans talked about in this field.

The biggest weakness of AC Milan is undoubtedly the general high age of first-team players and the serious decline in physical fitness and recovery ability caused by too many veterans. In addition, Ancelotti is not good at rotating and overdrawing the physical fitness of the main players for a long time. Therefore, as long as Tottenham can consume AC Milan's strength as much as possible, then as time goes by, Tottenham, which is stronger than Liverpool in his previous life, will have the power of one battle!

However, before George could make adjustments to the tactics, the Ross and Blacks' offensive came again - just ten minutes before Shevchenko's goal, Alonso's straight pass in the midfield was cut off, and AC Milan once again took the opportunity to launch a fast counterattack!

Kaka, who retreated to the backcourt to get the ball, used a beautiful turn to pass by and got rid of Mascherano who was guarding him, then drove the ball all the way to the middle circle of the court, and sent a straight pass like a scalpel with his right foot!

Although Vidic, who was chasing back, tried to slid the tackle to destroy Kaka's pass, the attempt of the central defender of the Black was still in failure. Shevchenko, who received the pass, dribbled the ball into the penalty area and scored one-on-one!

Facing Cech, who was forced to abandon the goal, Shevchenko pretended to shoot, but in fact passed the ball to the back post with his right foot. The ball slid past Ridley King, and Crespo, who was rushing up, shot the empty goal five meters in front of the goal, scored 3-0!

"There's no chance..." If Andy Gray and Martin Taylor were more or less expecting Tottenham to successfully turn the tables in the next round when Tottenham was behind two goals on the court, then they were beaten 3-0 by AC Milan in the first half, and now they have completely given up this hope - in Andy Gray's eyes, it is almost impossible for Tottenham to tie the score in the next forty-five minutes!

With the state shown by AC Milan players in the first half and the sharpness of their quick counterattacks, if Tottenham dares to make a big attack in the second half, then they will only be continued to use counterattacks to teach people!

So, no matter how you look at it, the European Champions League champion in the 2004-05 season is destined to be the treasure of AC Milan!

"Although the game will be over forty-five minutes, judging from the current situation, the result of this Champions League final should be the general trend." Seeing this situation, Andy Gray was really optimistic and had to congratulate AC Milan in advance in the live broadcast room, while not forgetting to comfort Tottenham, who seemed to be doomed to lose, "Let's congratulate AC Milan in advance for winning the seventh Champions League championship in the club history. However, the Tottenham boys don't have to be discouraged by this. Your performance in the Champions League this season is already amazing enough. The loss to AC Milan in the final is not because of his inferior skills, but because of his experience and experience. Continue to persevere and learn from experience and lessons in future games. Sooner or later, you will have an extremely bright future!"
