The moment Boateng scored, he already understood that the game was destined to be lost.
But it actually doesn’t matter much.
If Milan wants three points, the three points will be given to you.
Just don’t score too many goals.
Di Francesco knew that although he originally wanted a draw, if he really lost, it would still be okay.
After all, the opponent is Milan, which is at the top of the list. Milan has won all the games in the beginning. It is not shameful to lose to them, and it can be justified in front of the media, fans and even senior executives.
But if you lose too much and cause tragedy, it will be difficult to survive.
After all, not many people can accept being massacred on their home court.
It’s just that looking at the attitude of the assistant coach in Milan now, scoring a goal will not quench your thirst at all?
It seems that I have to do ten or eight Lecce before I am willing to do it.
Do you really have a grudge?
Di Francesco was a little puzzled.
He had no memory of this young man from the Dragon Kingdom who had walked into his office and was driven away without saying a word.
At that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what the director did, so he didn't take it to heart.
Therefore, Di Francesco can only keep searching for information about Pan Yi in his mind.
Have you ever offended him?
Did you owe him money and not pay it back? Did you hit the glass of his house with a slingshot?
No way! I don’t know him at all!
So what does his vicious look mean?
……
The game restarts.
Lecce's players are a little desperate now.
On the sidelines, their head coach seemed a little helpless, sitting in his seat without saying a word;
On the field, Milan's players were like tigers descending from the mountain, once again pressing them within the thirty-meter area, as if they had never scored a goal just now.
As a result, various shots came one after another.
In the 12th minute, Milan took a corner kick from the right side. Ibrahimovic was unmarked in the middle of the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal.
The ball passed the goalkeeper but was cleared by Cuadrado on the goal line. Kante took another kick outside the penalty area and was saved by the Lecce goalkeeper.
In the 14th minute, Milan took a free kick on the left. Mane drove the ball near the small penalty area. Salah nodded the ball in front of him and formed a shot. The ball slightly missed the crossbar.
In the 17th minute, AC Milan counterattacked. Salah was dribbling the ball and was pulled by Odo for a tactical foul behind him. The referee showed the latter a yellow card.
Ibrahimovic took a free kick and hit the goal with a powerful and heavy long shot, which penetrated Lecce's goal again!
The ball was scored again!!
In less than 20 minutes, Milan led 2:0.
But it's not over yet.
In the 19th minute, Lecce made a mistake in the backcourt. Gattuso stole the ball and advanced two steps. His long shot was blocked by the Lecce center back's outstretched leg.
In the 20th minute, AC Milan launched an attack from the left. De Sciglio hit the ball across the face, and Boateng got the ball in the middle and volleyed over the crossbar.
In the 22nd minute, Mane got the ball and cut inside, with the instep of his outside foot heading straight into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic fired a shot from the right side of the penalty area and the ball hit the near-end side net.
In the 25th minute, De Sciglio made a pass from the left to the back point. Salah fell to the ground and shot, but failed to hit the goal.
In the 29th minute, Ibrahimovic pressed forward, Odo's ball was blocked into the penalty area, Salah kept volleying the ball from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball crossed the goal line and fell into the back of the net, 3:0!
In the 33rd minute, Milan launched an attack from the right side. Abate passed the ball to the middle. The defensive player encountered the ball and changed direction and went straight to the goal. However, although Ibrahimovic scored the ball forward, he was already in an offside position and scored.
Invalid.
In the 36th minute, Milan took a corner kick and missed it in the middle. Mane headed the ball towards the center. Ibrahimovic's shot was blocked by the Lecce goalkeeper with his body. Boateng, who followed up from the outside, succeeded again with a volley.
4:0!
Before halftime, Milan already led by four goals.
During these 40 minutes, AC Milan was like a half-time offensive and defensive drill, surrounding Lecce and attacking fiercely. Lecce had no chance to counterattack and had zero shots.
Milan's offensive also fascinated the fans in the stands, who kept cheering as Milan players broke through and shot.
When have they ever seen such a hearty offensive performance?
When Milan led by three or four goals, even Lecce fans began to applaud Milan's performance.
Anyway, today’s game is definitely a loss, let’s just enjoy a wonderful game!
But for the Lecce players who are still on the court, this is too uncomfortable.
They are like fish on a backing board, allowing their opponents to ravage them.
When the referee finally blew the halftime whistle, all the Lecce players were relieved and rushed off the field like flying.
Although they know that there is still the second half to endure, at this moment, they are not willing to stay on the court for a second longer!
Pan Yi breathed a sigh of relief at this time and followed everyone to the locker room.
As we all know, a three-goal lead at halftime is the most dangerous.
Especially when the leading side is Milan.
But now, with a four-goal lead, it’s time to pop the champagne!
However, when Pan Yi was walking towards the aisle of the middle stand, he heard crisp calls from the stands, and they were in Chinese:
"Pan Yi!"
"Pan Yi!"
"Pan Pan! Look here!"
Pan Yi looked up and saw rows of Dragon Country fans, holding signs that read "Dragon Country fans will always support Pan Yi!" and waving desperately to him.
The male fans here were relatively calm, but the female fans didn't care and started screaming!
"Hey! Hello!" Pan Yi greeted the fans politely.
At first glance, these fans must have come from the Dragon Kingdom, specifically for him. Pan Yi was naturally very grateful for their enthusiasm.
"Hello! Can you sign your autograph for us?" Many female fans suddenly crowded to the front of the stands.
Pan Yi also discovered that there were even a few Italian female fans wearing Lecce jerseys...
For many female fans, their mentality when watching games is different from those of the most steadfast and die-hard fans.
Of course they love their team, but if a handsome guy appears on the court, they don't mind switching sides temporarily.
"Of course." Pan Yi showed a charming smile, began to approach the stands, took the pens handed over by the fans, and began to write signatures on various things.
This "various things" refers to cardboard, jerseys, scarves... and even... covers??
While Pan Yi was hesitating, a female Lecce fan actually stuck her head out of the stands and kissed Pan Yi on the cheek.
Pan Yi was so frightened that he stepped back.
I saw this female Lecce fan with blond hair, tall figure and good nutrition. She was winking at Pan Yi proudly.
Pan Yi could only smile at her, then waved to the stands and walked into the passage.
Even if he leads by four goals, he still has to prepare for the second half of the game.
Behind him, one could faintly hear the female fans of the Dragon Kingdom cursing in Chinese:
"Hmph, this Italian vixen! How dare you tease our Pan Pan so directly!"
"Pan Pan is really more handsome than those seen on TV... Why are they foreigners so shameless?"
"That's right! If I had known earlier, I would have rushed up and kissed you..."
