With extremely quick reactions, he took advantage of his height and long arms to pick off the football at lightning speed.
Yes, the ball was not only saved, but also firmly held by Courtois.
Spalletti's pupils shrank, and he immediately roared loudly, "Return to defense, pay attention to defense!"
Yes, Spalletti was afraid that AC Milan would use defensive counterattacks to tear apart their defense line again. Therefore, at this time, he was very anxious, bared his teeth, and frantically directed the players to quickly retreat to the defense.
At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Courtois twice.
Now we know why this guy Tong Yi gave away Donnarumma in exchange for Courtois. This Courtois is indeed very top-notch in terms of reaction, height, wingspan and reaction. The only one
The problem should be that I am tall and have long legs!
Yes, this is the ultimate truth.
Many people's strongest points are actually their biggest weaknesses.
Courtois is like this. Being tall and having long legs can expand his defensive area, which is also helpful for him to pick up high-altitude balls, etc. However, being too tall and having too long legs brings him a weakness that is the empty bottom plate. His speed at the bottom.
It will appear a little slower, the gap between the legs will be large, and it will be easy to get hit.
Therefore, Spalletti immediately sent a message to the Tin Man, asking him to shoot more ground balls and play more of Courtois's lower three. Icardi turned to look at Courtois and nodded.
Show understanding.
At this time, AC Milan in the stadium did not launch a quick counterattack as Spalletti expected.
Courtois took control of the ball and adjusted the rhythm of the game before sending the football out.
AC Milan immediately took possession of the ball and started to attack.
Everyone can see that when advancing the offense with the ball, Tong Yi's AC Milan is still a shadow of Guardiola's later technical tactics, which is an offensive method that slowly passes from the backcourt to advance layer by layer. Among them, Brandt and Goretzka
It occupies a lot of roles in it.
Even the two wing-backs Davis and James will participate in organizing the offense. The passing and receiving of these two people are also very good, which makes it difficult for Inter Milan to defend. There are not many defensive focuses.
It can only be man-to-man defense. And this kind of defense is too easy to be stretched by AC Milan's combination of long and short passes, which instantly tears the defense.
So at this point, it feels like AC Milan has the upper hand.
Even Inter Milan is a little bit like AC Milan and they don’t have a good solution.
Gattuso's face in the commentary box became even more ugly.
He knew that he still underestimated this guy Tong Yi. Tong Yi was able to thrive in the Bundesliga and the Premier League, and it was really something to be able to win the UEFA Champions League for three consecutive years. He himself felt that he
I was a bit reckless before, I shouldn't have been so reckless!
However, he still felt that Tong Yi would gain nothing by relying on these young people.
He felt that Calhanoglu, Bonaventura and Suso should be replaced by AC Milan's young people who have more combat effectiveness and experience. Tong Yi should not completely replace the entire AC Milan team as soon as he comes up.
, this change is too urgent.
Look at how many players from AC Milan last season remained in this team? How many players will still be able to appear in the starting lineup in the future? Maybe it’s just Romagnoli, right?
Anyway, he still feels that Tong Yi's methods are too impersonal and not close to reality. This change is too fierce and it is easy to overturn. Moreover, the young people Tong Yi has hired cannot completely replace the previous group of people.
Strong, so AC Milan is still very hanging this season.
Gattuso is still not optimistic about AC Milan!
At this time, midfielder Goretzka got rid of the defense under the cover of Joan Armene, and then immediately started to pass the ball long, and the football quickly flew towards the frontcourt.
Inter Milan's center back Skriniar immediately rushed up and stuck to the young Haaland.
He would not let Haaland hold the ball easily. He put enough pressure on Haaland. Haaland staggered and almost fell to the ground.
And at this moment, Haaland also held Skriniar, and Skriniar's big-footed clearance kicked. The football actually changed direction and slid in front of Brandt. He rushed up.
Brandt saw Inter Milan's midfielder Vecino rushing forward quickly. He was planning to take a violent long-range shot with a flick of his ankle, pushing the football directly into the space on the wing.
At this time, Inter Milan's defensive focus is on the center, and the wings are slightly empty.
This was caught by Brandt.
The football was passed into the open space on the wing by Brandt. James, who quickly moved forward in the open space, caught up with the football and made a direct pass before the opponent's full-back came up to intercept it.
The football drew an arc and quickly spun into Inter Milan's penalty area. Of course, this was not a high ball, but a half-high ball. It passed through Inter Milan's defense and fell directly into the corner of Inter Milan's small penalty area.
The latter position.
"Danger, Inter Milan is in danger!" Rimedio suddenly roared in horror.
The Nerazzurri at the scene also gasped in horror, it was dangerous!
Because the Argentine forward Lautaro in the middle rushed from behind the Inter Milan defense like lightning, got in front of the opponent, stretched his legs and fired the football towards the Inter Milan goal like lightning.
The speed of the ball is very fast, like a thunderbolt.
The Inter Milan fans at the scene were instantly desperate, fearing that the ball was going to be lost again.
With a bang, at this moment, Handanovic stood up in front of the goal, fell to the ground and jumped sideways, hitting the football with one palm, and the football immediately changed direction slightly and rubbed the far end.
The uprights flew out of the bottom line.
Bang bang bang!
Nerazzurri at home immediately gave thunderous applause, and at the same time they were frantically trying to calm down their mood.
Just now they really thought that the goal was completely lost. With such a close shot, Inter Milan might be in danger! Unexpectedly, Handanovic stood up and made a miraculous save.
Beautiful, really so beautiful!
Huh, AC Milan guys, don't be proud, we also have Handanovic! Our Handanovic will not give you another chance to score. You will definitely lose this game!
Inter Milan's defensive players came over to pat Handanovic on the shoulder and praise him.
If it hadn't been for Handanovic, Inter Milan would have conceded the goal.
Especially De Vrij stepped forward and gave Handanovic a big hug. The ball was his problem. He didn't look at Lautaro behind him, allowing Lautaro to grab it in front of him and finish it.
Shot. If the goal scored, it was entirely his responsibility. So he had to thank Handanovic properly, and then he immediately turned around and raised his hands to Spalletti, who was furiously spraying him on the sidelines, to express his gratitude.
It won't happen again next time.
Spalletti then calmed down a little...??.
However, he was still yelling about defense. Because AC Milan still had corner kick opportunities. Although they didn’t know whether AC Milan’s corner kick scoring rate was high or not, this guy Tong Yi played in Munich 1860 and Crystal Palace.
At that time, his team's corner kick scoring rate was very high. They still need to pay great attention to this, and he has also studied it.
Inter Milan's defensive players immediately nodded and expressed their understanding.
They immediately turned around and carried out tight defense. Then at this time, AC Milan did not directly pass the ball, but took a tactical corner kick. Moreover, the tactical corner kick did not pass the football into the penalty area immediately, but
Pulling back and forth on the sidelines, Inter Milan's defensive players were pulled out again.
Seeing this, Spalletti was very speechless, and even turned his head and glared at Tong Yi fiercely.
At this point in the game, he felt that he was completely defeated.
How could this guy Tong Yi predict his prediction perfectly? This completely failed his plan. Could this guy be able to read minds?
Of course it's impossible. There is only one possibility, and that is that this guy Tong Yi studied himself and Inter Milan in detail before this game, and he has reached the point where he knows everything about it, so he can make such an arrangement.
Hiss! Spalletti couldn't help but take a breath of cold air!
It seems that Hua Xia Tong is really not like those media reporters, he is quite something.
Spalletti can now understand why this guy Tong Yi was able to lead Crystal Palace to win the UEFA Champions League for three consecutive years.
At the same time, he was also aware of the difficulty of this game. It seemed that it would be very difficult for Inter Milan to win this game.
The faces of Romano and others in the press box and Gattuso in the commentary box became increasingly ugly.
Because the course of this game was completely different from what he predicted before the game. They were still swearing by it before the game. This was really a slap in the face!
And at this moment, after passing the ball continuously, the football came to Goretzka's feet.
At this time, Goretzka also came to the front of Inter Milan's penalty area. Inter Milan's defensive players were ready. Because they all knew that this guy Goretzka had a good long-range shot, and they had to defend it seriously.
, not giving Goretzka a chance.
Just before Inter Milan's defenders pounced, Goretzka suddenly sent a penetrating through ball.
Everyone thought he would split the ball, but with a flick of his ankle, he passed the football directly into the penalty area.
The football rolled past Vecino's feet and quickly rolled behind him.
This pass made Vecino very uncomfortable, and it also made Skriniar in the penalty area a little uncomfortable. Because the football had already rolled to Harland's feet, Harland immediately swung his legs and it seemed like
About to shoot, in fact, it attracted Skriniar to stretch his legs to intercept. At the moment, he quickly moved the football sideways, dodged Skriniar's blockage, opened up a little space, and then quickly swung his legs, fiercely
Hit the football hard.
The football shot towards Inter Milan's goal quickly, like a cannonball.
De Vrij's leg-stretching interception was obviously half a beat late, and the football flew past him quickly, and then shot quickly into the Inter Milan goal.
Inter Milan fans were terrified, but they all pinned their hopes on Handanovic.
Handanovic reacted very quickly in front of the goal and jumped out immediately. Unfortunately, he still didn't touch the football. The football flew past the tips of his fingers and then hit hard.
The goal behind him.
The football hit the net hard, causing white waves.
The Roseneris immediately screamed with excitement, jumping up and down, shouting Haaland's name crazily.
This young man has given them enough surprises this season. This is not the first time they have cheered for this young man. They seem to see a superstar rising.
Haaland, who scored the goal, rushed out directly, and then there was a special celebration near the sideline with a Buddha sitting on a lotus.
This made the Rosennels at the scene stunned for a moment.
Two to zero, in the 17th minute of the first half, AC Milan, who was playing away from home, had already led Inter Milan by two goals. I don’t know how many people were slapped in the face. At least Gattuso and Romano’s faces are burning now, and
