Chapter 31 The Magical Use of Long-Range Tactics (Basic Guarantee)
The match against AC Milan came as scheduled.
The San Siro Stadium was packed, and I have to say that the cave of Gazzetta dello Sport was quite strong. They said this was the best moment for revenge, so many AC Milan fans came to watch the team take revenge.
The sound they made completely drowned out the Lazio fans, and Lazio's extreme fans could only show their presence by setting off blue signal batons.
But they were placed in the corner of the top stand, so even if they showed their presence, it would be meaningless.
They are not the owners here.
Here, AC Milan has the final say.
Chang Sheng stood in front of the coaching bench, wearing a straight suit. He continued the tradition in Getafe, Valencia, and Roma. No matter how he usually dressed, as long as he directed the team to play a game, he must be in a straight formal suit, even in the middle of summer.
He won't slack off either.
Except not wearing a tie.
Even when there was internal trouble in Rome, he never made himself look embarrassed in front of the coaching bench.
The game has started and he is staring at the court.
※※※
Both sides fielded the strongest lineups they could field.
AC Milan wants revenge. Chang Sheng does not want AC Milan to succeed in revenge. He hopes that AC Milan will never be able to take revenge.
He has no prejudice against AC Milan, but as a narrow-minded person, Chang Sheng has a deep memory of Berlusconi's original ridicule.
He will not give up any opportunity to attack Berlusconi.
Since AC Milan is Berlusconi's team, they naturally cannot escape this fate.
Ancelotti did devise defensive counterattack tactics in this game.
The Christmas tree formation plus defensive counterattacks are the reasons why AC Milan became the league champion last year.
But this time, they met Lazio, who has always won. Their defensive counterattack will be tested.
Fifteen minutes after the game started, Ancelotti was surprised to find that Lazio's previous violent offensive was the norm!
When the game started, Lazio took the kick-off, and they took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch a fierce attack on AC Milan's goal.
Ancelotti thought this was a normal start. Lazio hoped to use the initial attack to break through AC Milan's goal as soon as possible, so that Chang Sheng could use the ball to kill time.
Ancelotti has played against Chang Sheng five times, and he knows Chang Sheng's tactics very well.
No matter how things change, he believes that this will definitely not change.
As long as you can withstand this initial offensive, the initiative in the game will return to your own hands.
This is what Ancelotti told his players, asking them to pay attention to defense as soon as they come up and not to press out easily and give Lazio any chance.
The players did abide by his tactical arrangements.
From the first minute of the game, they were shrinking their defense most of the time. Occasionally they got a chance to counterattack, and only Kaka and Shevchenko were left to harass the opponent's defense.
Although Lazio's offensive was fierce, they all firmly believed that their defense would not fall so quickly.
If AC Milan's defense couldn't withstand even fifteen minutes, how could it become the team that conceded the second fewest goals last season? It was only one goal more than Juventus, which conceded 27 goals.
Although Lazio's offense is indeed quite fierce...
Unexpectedly, after fifteen minutes, Lazio did not slow down at all, retracting its defense and giving its opponent an offensive posture.
They continue to attack!
And the intensity of the attack has not significantly weakened!
Their speed is still fast, their passing is still sharp, and their long shots... are still threatening!

"Mello - long shot!!!"
As the commentator hissed, Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo shot from thirty meters away from the goal!
The football went straight towards the goal.
Goalkeeper Dida, who is also from Brazil, made a wonderful save. He turned sideways and used his height and arm length to block Melo's long shot!
The football popped out of the baseline, corner kick!
"What a risk! How many times has Dida made a save? Three! Technical statistics tell us that in just sixteen minutes, Dida has made three key saves! And two of these three key saves were
Lazio’s long-range shots! Lazio had a lot of long-range shots in this game, and their accuracy was also very high!”
No one knows why Lazio used long-range shooting tactics in this game. They frequently shot from 25 to 35 meters away from the goal. Liverani, Melo and Gianni Keda took turns to shoot.
It doesn't matter how good their shooting skills are.
Even the Lazio players themselves did not expect that long-range shooting would become an important tactic in this game.
No matter who it is, as long as he thinks he can, the time is right, and he is sure, he will shoot without hesitation.
Chang Sheng said this to his players.
The players also implemented his tactics faithfully.
The three forwards in the frontcourt are responsible for holding space for the three midfielders.
Pull apart AC Milan's defenders and clear the path to the goal.
Then the three midfielders came up and set up cannons, and the cannons started blasting his mother!
※※※
No one knows why this is, because no one knows that winning always has a system and a competitive skill.
With [Precision Strike], a skill that enhances long-range shooting, wouldn't it be a pity to leave it alone?
In this game, Ancelotti happened to be playing a defensive counterattack, and long-range shots are the most famous weapons for breaking through dense defensive counterattacks.
This gives Chang Sheng the perfect opportunity to use this competitive skill.
This increases the chance of a long shot hitting the doorframe by ten percent!
If you want to score a goal, you must first kick it within the goal frame. If this probability increases by 10%, the probability of scoring a goal will also increase.
Chang Sheng watched Dida get up from the ground, waved his hands, and smiled without anyone noticing.
He believes that both Ancelotti and AC Milan have seen the threat of his long-range shooting tactics.
Then it's Ancelotti's turn to make a multiple-choice question.
Should Lazio's long-range shot be ignored? Or should it be ignored?
If you don't care, there will definitely be flaws in the defense of the forwards. They can guard against those who are far away, but they cannot guard against those who are close!
Plus, the three forwards can also shoot from distance.
David Silva, Rocchi and Pandev can all be pulled out to take long shots according to the actual situation. No one stipulates that long shots can only be completed by midfielders.
This makes it even more difficult for AC Milan to prevent long-range shots.
Prevent or not?
Chang Sheng turned his head and glanced at Ancelotti.
Ancelotti stood on the sidelines with his arms folded across his chest and his brows furrowed.
Apparently he was lost in thought.
※※※
Winning often will not give Ancelotti time to think of countermeasures.
He whistled and signaled the players to continue to strengthen their long-range shots.
Next, the three forwards, David Silva, Rocky and Pandev, also took turns to withdraw and take long-range shots.
Anyway, in this area between 25 meters and 35 meters, you can shoot at any angle from any angle!
The players didn't understand why it had to be an area of 25 to 35 meters.
Because the effective range of the [Precision Strike] skill is twenty-five to thirty-five meters.
Since the main method of shooting is long-range shooting, Lazio's offensive rhythm is very fast. As long as the football is given to the players in the right position, they can just shoot long-range.
For players who like long shots, this arrangement is really good news for them.
But for the opponent's defensive players and goalkeeper Dida, it was not so easy.
A long shot is like a cold arrow, you don't know where it will come from or when it will come.
Just when you thought Liverani was going to shoot, he suddenly moved the football to the side. As a result, Pandev came up and shot a long shot, which made Dida and AC Milan's defenders exhausted.
When there are more and more long-range shots, the defensive AC Milan players have developed inertia. I always feel that Lazio's next attack must be a long-range shot.
So they just need to go up and block it.
As a result, just when they were all thinking this, in the 25th minute, Liverani took the ball and tried to shoot.
AC Milan's players immediately raised their nerves and took a stance to defend the long shot.
Unexpectedly, when Liverani's foot came down, it was not a shot, but... a pass!
He sent a through ball to Rocky, who was moving erratically in the middle!
AC Milan center back Kaladze, who blocked Liverani's long-range shot, jumped up and turned around when he saw Liverani, intending to use his body to block Liverani's long-range shot with his back. The whole body was only here.
It is the widest and strongest, so it is naturally the most suitable for sealing.
Unexpectedly, when he jumped up and turned around, he didn't feel the football hitting his body.
Instead, he saw the football appear in front of him!
Very fast, but definitely not a shot...
Pass the ball!
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked!
When Rocky received the football, Nesta was the only one he had to face.
But Rocky did not collide head-on with Nesta.
Instead, he chose to pass the ball!
He passed the football to David Silva!
This is one of the rules that always wins in a team's offense.
When facing the opponent's defender in the penalty area, try not to let yourself get the ball too much, but pass the football as quickly as possible. Only in this way can you get a better shooting opportunity, instead of being interfered by the opponent when shooting, or simply
Cut off the ball and fall short!
※※※
When David Silva received the ball, he was in a relatively safe position. The closest person to him was Brazilian defender Cafu.
Cafu is rushing up, but his speed cannot match Silva.
After Silva received the ball, he did not continue to dribble or pass others, but directly shot!
After he shot the football out, Cafu's feet came over and it was too late!
At this time, Cafu and other AC Milan players and fans could only pray that Silva missed the shot or was saved by Dida.
Dida quickly fell to the ground and threw himself on his side. He did catch the football!
But he just rubbed it with his fingertips!
The football is still flying towards the far point tenaciously...
Will the ball eventually fly over the baseline?
A leg wearing Lazio sky-blue socks suddenly struck, and then shoveled the football on the ground...
The football changed direction and flew into the goal!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Pandev!! Pandev!!! Lazio is one goal ahead in the away game!!"

PS, the fourth update is still the fourth update!
Four consecutive updates, four updates every day!
This is actually not easy, because it means that no matter whether I have something to do or whether I have to go out or not, I have to write at least four chapters every day. If I want to save the manuscript, I have to write five chapters.
I actually don’t know how long I can persist, but I must continue to persist while I can!
I hope everyone will also support me with monthly tickets!
Thanks!
