AC Milan's defense is indeed very good, and there are almost no obvious weaknesses. Even Cafu on the right, who is strong offensively and weak defensively, is protected by Gattuso in front, so there are basically no major flaws.
Facing such a defense, no team can come up with any effective offensive plan and can only rely on strong attacks.
But everyone knows that when an Italian team is determined to defend and defend, no one can easily break through.
This is also the source of Capello's one-to-zero doctrine, and it is also the reason why the 2003 Champions League final ended in a zero-to-zero score. At that time, AC Milan and Juventus really had no way to defeat each other.
Since there is no solution at the tactical level, let's fight individually.
To put it simply, it’s about competing for the players’ personal strength.
Barcelona has many players with outstanding personal abilities, but it is difficult for them to create a threat with the ball under AC Milan's tight surveillance when they are as strong as Sudong and Ronaldinho. Otherwise, Barcelona will not be able to pull back in the second half.
After three goals, they fell into a long stalemate, unable to break through AC Milan's defense.
And Su Dong's plan is to play golf.
AC Milan's two central defenders are both short. Nesta is 1.87 meters tall, and Stam is 1.91 meters tall. Compared to Su Dong's 1.95 meters, strictly speaking, both of them are not inferior.
.
But what Su Dong wants to fight for is to compete for the top spot.
"Su, your plan is not new, but there is a problem." After hearing this, Harvey shook his head and was not very optimistic.
Su Dong understands, "How to get into position and take off, right?"
When a defensive player competes for a high ball, the best defense is not to defeat the opponent, but to prevent the opponent from having a chance to compete at all.
If you don't even have a chance to compete, then why compete for golf?
Nesta and Stam are both outstanding central defenders. They know how to defend high balls, how to compete for high balls and get stuck. They are the leading defenders in world football today and will not easily give Su Dong such an opportunity.
.
Of course Su Dong knew, and he also had ways to deal with it.
"It's up to me to solve this problem. Now I want to know, who is sure to strictly follow my requirements and pass the ball to my head?" This is what Su Dong is most concerned about.
He has high requirements for this pass.
The first is height. When the ball reaches the position where Sudong is fighting for the top, it cannot be too high or too low. If it is too high, Sudong will not be able to fight for it. If it is too low, both Nesta and Stam can easily clear it.
Su Dong can only rely on his own jumping ability and height advantage to try his best to gain the slightest height advantage.
This is undoubtedly the biggest test for the penalty shooter.
Then there are rotations, angles, arcs, etc.
All in all, it is very difficult to control this kick.
Su Dong's position grabbing and take-off are key, but the free throw shooter's footwork and strength are equally critical.
Harvey is the team's number one set-kick penalty taker, and he takes many frontcourt set-kicks and corner kicks.
His free throw shooting is characterized by stability, but strictly speaking, his footwork is not the best.
Su Dong has deep contact with several teammates. Among the four, Messi has the best footwork. But the problem is that he is too young and his control of strength is not stable enough. Sometimes he can get free throws.
It's beautiful, but sometimes it doesn't work.
This is also a problem that all young players will face, and it can only be improved through constant training and game experience.
If we really want to say it, Ronaldinho is the most suitable. His footwork is outstanding and his stability is not inferior to Xavi's.
Therefore, after Su Dong asked, his eyes fell on Ronaldinho, but soon moved to Iniesta.
Iniesta's footwork is slightly inferior to Ronaldinho's, and his stability is slightly inferior to Xavi's, but he and Su Dong have a tacit understanding.
Sudong was confident that if Iniesta freed the ball, he would be able to grab it.
Just when Su Dong was about to appoint Iniesta to take the penalty, Ronaldinho suddenly spoke.
"I'll do it." The Brazilian superstar volunteered.
Su Dong and others were stunned for a moment, but they soon understood.
When the game reaches this point, the most important thing is to score another goal to ensure that the game will not end within ninety minutes, so that Barcelona will still have enough time to solve the opponent.
"Okay!" Time is precious, and Su Dong doesn't want to be long-winded.
"Then it's decided like this, we need to get a frontcourt positioning ball in the two ribs of the offensive 30-meter zone, hand it to Messi on the right, and leave it to you on the left."
Ronaldinho and Messi both nodded.
…
The Barcelona players took advantage of a dead ball and briefly met on the court. It sounds long, but in fact they dispersed very quickly.
This reflects the trust his teammates have in Su Dong.
After the arrangement was made, the midfielder also consciously walked to the two wings when distributing the ball, creating opportunities for Ronaldinho and Messi to break through with the ball.
Soon, when Messi tried to dribble past Maldini on the right, he forced the Milan captain to have no choice but to foul, giving Barcelona a free kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.
Xavi and Ronaldinho both came to the penalty spot.
Puyol, Marcos and others also came to the frontcourt and entered AC Milan's penalty area.
I have to say that from a distance, you can clearly see the huge difference in height between the players of the two teams.
This also makes AC Milan fall more on Qian Dian and Su Dong when defending set pieces.
Both Stam and Nesta followed Sudong closely, one after the other, trying to lock down the most threatening point of Barcelona's high ball.
Of course Su Dong knew the intention of the two men. He stood on the left side of the penalty spot. This position is very flexible. He can rush to the middle or attack the back point.
In the distance, Ronaldinho and Xavi stood at an angle, both preparing quietly.
As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Harvey quickly ran forward, but did not touch the ball at all.
Ronaldinho followed closely, running forward, standing with his left foot, and quickly kicked out with his right foot.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Whether it is the control of footwork, the strength of the ball, or the rotation of the ball, Ronaldinho knows it all well, and he can kick it out
Any ball you want, the difference is accuracy.
But this time, he felt that he played well and basically met Su Dong's requirements.
In the penalty area, Su Dong first pretended to rush to the right side of the penalty spot, but in fact he rushed to the back.
As defensive players, Nesta and Stam had no idea which penalty point Ronaldinho would take or how Sudong would run, so they could only respond passively.
When they saw Su Dong rushing towards the back point, the two of them also rushed forward at the same time.
Stam was in the front and Nesta was in the back, attacking Su Dong from the front and back.
But Su Dong was one step ahead of them. After reaching his position, he jumped into the air.
Stam also jumped up, trying to compete with Sudong for the top spot, while Nesta behind him also jumped up unwilling to be outdone.
Two AC Milan defenders clamped down on Sudong, trying to disrupt Barcelona's free kick attack.
The ball is coming!
Stam, who was at the front, was the first to bear the brunt. After jumping to the highest point, he stretched his neck as much as possible to try to push the ball away.
He even felt the football passing over his head with the wind, but he just couldn't reach it.
Just a little bit different!
damn it!
After Stam jumped to the highest point, he fell down and breathed out at the same time.
Su Dong started jumping earlier than him, but now that he has jumped to the highest point and still hasn't reached it, Su Dong definitely can't reach it either.
But at this moment, he instinctively felt the movement behind him, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
How can it be?
Su Dong actually hit it!
Damn, he jumped so high!
What's even more outrageous is that after jumping so high, he can still exert force to perform movements. How terrifying is his waist and abdominal strength?
Stam had countless feelings pouring out in an instant.
But in front of everyone, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Stam jumped high, but did not hit the ball. Instead, Su Dong behind him hit Ronaldinho's pass, and he hit the right spot, shaking his head like a lion.
The ball changed direction and turned into the goal in front of Su Dong.
Dida jumped high, stretched his arms as much as possible, and tried to block the ball.
But the ball barely missed the crossbar and entered the upper left corner of the goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"F**K! Oh my God!!!!"
…
The commentator was so excited that he couldn't help but utter a curse word.
Not only him, but Rijkaard on the sidelines also jumped up, grabbed his head hard, and opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a fist into it. He was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked.
Ancelotti's situation was no better than Rijkaard's. He also cursed directly. He couldn't believe what he saw. Sudong turned out to be two top players, Nesta and Stam.
Between the central defenders, he jumped up and grabbed the spot.
How good is this damn guy's jumping ability?
…
"I'm sorry, please forgive me for being unable to control myself just now!"
"I can't believe it, you know what? I can't believe it!"
"Barcelona evened the score!"
"With the last ten minutes of the game, Barcelona evened the score! Do you believe it?"
"To all the viewers in front of the TV, congratulations, you have witnessed a miracle!"
"No, it's not a miracle, it's a miracle!"
"I simply cannot describe my mood at this moment in words. I have an impulse now. I want to kneel down. I want to kneel down to Su Dong and offer him my most loyal knees!"
"Four to four!"
"Now the two sides are back on the same starting line, but the situation is completely different."
"Barcelona chased four goals in a row in the second half, especially the fourth goal just now, which will be a huge blow to AC Milan, because it was broken by Barcelona after they defended tightly."
"The game is not over yet. We have every reason to believe that a miracle will happen tonight in Istanbul!"
“God will come to Istanbul’s Ataturk Stadium tonight!”
…
The fans at the scene were stunned for two or three seconds before bursting into wild applause and cheers.
Especially the Barcelona fans, they are going crazy!
How desperate they were when the score was zero to four, then how crazy they are at this moment!
Because they never imagined that they would equalize!
