Although Bayern decided to continue to use high pressure and pressure, it does not mean that Heynckes did not make defensive adjustments.
He asked the defenders to pay more attention to timely positioning, and asked the midfielders to strengthen the protection of the defense line, especially Schweinsteiger and Mascherano. He asked the two midfielders to keep an eye on Kaká and not let them go.
Kaka dribbles the ball forward unscrupulously.
In addition, Modric's position is also further forward, mainly for Pirlo.
Sudong will also retreat appropriately without the ball to put some pressure on Pirlo.
After doing this, Bayern's defense was barely stable.
After AC Milan tried a few more long passes, they found that Bayern had adjusted in time. The threat of long passes was not great, because neither Pato nor Inzaghi in front was able to grab the ball in front of Bayern's defense.
.
As a result, the Rossoneri turned to passing and controlling the ball, which they were better at.
Penetrating through the ground is exactly what Bayern wants them to do.
The Bundesliga team continued to maintain a fast-paced high-pressure tactics to put pressure on AC Milan. On the other hand, they focused on suppressing Kaká and Pirlo. As a result, AC Milan's passing progress was greatly affected.
The previous 4321 Christmas tree formation mainly included Seedorf, but now that Seedorf is not there, Pato is more in front or pulled to the wing, and the support for the midfield is not enough.
This method effectively connects the midfield and frontcourt.
AC Milan suffered from Bayern's high-position pressing and pressure, and there was a disconnect between the midfield and the frontcourt.
When the Rossoneri's attack was frustrated, Bayern began to exert force on the counterattack.
In the 31st minute, Pepe successfully stole the ball passed to Inzaghi in the backcourt and quickly kicked it to the midfielder.
Bastian Schweinsteiger passed the ball forward and to the feet of Ribery on the left.
Ribery dribbled the ball from the left. Under Odo's close guard, he stumbled and almost lost it. However, he took the ball and cut inside laterally. After attracting the attention of the defense, he redistributed the ball to the left and gave it to the back.
Marcelo on.
Bayern's left back received a pass from Franck Ribery just after crossing the center line, and drove the ball towards Odo.
Su Dong was originally on the left side of the center, preparing to meet Ribery, but when he saw that Ribery could not pass the ball, the ball returned to the left, and Marcelo moved forward and dribbled the ball towards Odo.
He immediately changed his mind, pointed to the left side of the penalty area, and started quickly.
Marcelo understood the idea, and after getting the ball, he directly passed the ball to the left side of AC Milan's penalty area.
Su Dong stopped the ball with his back to the penalty area. Nesta was stuck behind him on the right, just to prevent him from turning around. Odo also abandoned Marcelo and returned to defense to cooperate with Nesta and flank Su Dong.
Su Dong first took a step to the outside, suddenly pulled the ball, turned around, grabbed the ball before Nesta, and poked the ball into the penalty area with his right foot. He quickly started and passed between Nesta and Odo.
Nesta couldn't stop Su Dong, so he immediately stretched out his hand and pulled him hard, trying to stop Su Dong.
Sudong was pulled to a halt, but he quickly broke away from Nesta's entanglement and dribbled the ball into AC Milan's penalty area.
As soon as he entered the penalty area, Gattuso had already rushed in front of Su Dong.
Sudong was shocked and immediately intercepted the ball, avoiding Gattuso, but before he could adjust, Maldini also blocked it, and Nesta and Odo also surrounded him behind him.
Alone, Su Dong could not fly out of the circle surrounded by AC Milan's four defensive players even if he had two wings. He immediately did not hesitate and decisively spotted the opportunity and passed the ball back to the edge of the penalty area.
Only then did Ribery catch up. On the left side of the arc in the penalty area, he stopped for Su Dong's pass. After adjusting, he struck again with his right foot and kicked a powerful and heavy long-range shot.
Ribery's shot was very powerful, but it was a little too focused on the angle and almost missed the post and went out of the baseline.
The scarred Frenchman slapped his forehead hard in frustration.
What a great opportunity!
Su Dong attracted four defensive players by himself, which created a God-given opportunity for Ribery, but he wasted it.
Ribery raised his hands towards Su Dong depressedly, expressing his guilt.
Su Dong waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Behind him, Nesta, Gattuso, Maldini and others all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This kid looks tall and strong, but he moves like a loach. If he's not careful, he will get through him and he can't stop him." Nesta said with lingering fear.
This time he used both his hands and feet, and he was just short of committing a serious foul. Unexpectedly, he still didn't stop it.
Gattuso was also very depressed, "I had a good chance to steal the ball, but I don't know if he had eyes on the side. He actually stopped the ball one step ahead of me, causing me to overshoot."
"As expected of Su Dong!" Maldini also praised repeatedly, "Please cheer up, if you are not careful, you may be scored."
The captain of Milan has experienced countless famous stars throughout his career. When faced with talented superstars such as Ronaldo and Zidane, he is not inferior. But this time, I don't know if it is because of his old age, but he actually feels a little...
Fear.
He always felt that if Su Dong continued to play like this, there would be problems sooner or later.
Can AC Milan shrink back and play?
This is the home court!
Although Serie A teams have always been conservative, is it ridiculous to shrink in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals?
Besides, even if you shrink it, can you still hold it?
…
After being threatened by Bayern, AC Milan also made an appropriate rebound.
Everyone on both sides knows very well that the game seems to be a stalemate, but it is surrounded by dangers and the deadlock may be broken at any time.
No one wants to be the one who loses the ball, but no one is willing to take the initiative to change their playing style.
To put it bluntly, in this kind of strong dialogue, whoever changes his style of play first may be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, AC Milan added some on-the-spot counterattacks in the midfield and frontcourt.
Bayern was a little confused at first, but they quickly adapted.
In the past, such as last season, Bayern would have struggled to face such a pressing, but this season is different. Bayern's midfield technical skills have improved greatly, even when facing Barcelona's high-intensity pressing.
Can the ball be moved to a safe place quickly, let alone AC Milan's level of pressing?
In the 39th minute, after Bayern stole the ball in the backcourt, AC Milan counterattacked on the spot.
After several consecutive passes, the ball was first transferred to the right side. As a result, Pato and Kaka also chased to the right side, so Bayern could only pass the ball back and transferred it to the left side.
After passing the ball back and forth, AC Milan's players also slowed down. Ribery ran out of space near the center line and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
After the French scarface got the ball, he quickly moved the ball forward and launched a quick counterattack.
Su Dong in front quickly moved to the left to share the defensive attention with Ribery.
When Ribery rushed to the outside of the penalty area, AC Milan's defensive players formed an encirclement, but successfully poked the ball away from Ribery's feet. However, Modric, who was following him, stopped the ball first and quickly distributed it to the left.
road.
Su Dong stopped the ball with his chest, and Odo immediately ran over to defend.
One on one!
As soon as Su Dong stopped the ball, before Odo could get into position, he made a fake move to confuse his opponent, and quickly dribbled the ball inwards.
As soon as Otto arrived, he felt a blur of figures in front of him. Before he could react, Su Dong broke through.
Milan's right back screamed inwardly, but he was not in a hurry because he knew that Nesta would be behind him.
Sure enough, Nesta was right behind Odo and immediately stepped forward to block Su Dong.
But Su Dong's speed increased. After cutting inside, he accelerated and kicked the ball. He broke away from Nesta's defense laterally. Before Pirlo could get closer, he used all his strength with his right foot and kicked a curve ball.
Neither the fans at the scene nor the viewers in front of the TV had time to see clearly what was going on. They only saw Su Dong getting the ball on the left, quickly cutting inside, accelerating away from Nesta,
Powerful volley with the right foot.
This curved ball was so powerful that it went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Karachi stood on the left side, and although he tried his best to attack from the side, the distance was too far and beyond his reach.
The ball hit the net!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"In the 40th minute of the first half, Su Dong opened the scoring for Bayern!"
"A very wonderful quick counterattack. Su Dong dribbled the ball from the left and cut in, and shot a curve ball with his right foot. He scored a wonderful curve ball, which hit the dead center of the goal!"
"It's unbelievable!"
"Su Dong was very active throughout the first half. He continued his wonderful performance against Arsenal and Barcelona, constantly harassing and threatening AC Milan's goal."
"Finally, towards the end of the first half, Su Dong finally seized the opportunity!"
Nesta and Maldini both watched helplessly as Su Dong flew away, listening to the cheers of the Bayern players and feeling depressed.
They tried their best, but they still couldn't stop the wolf-like Su Dong.
He is too fast!
The technique on the feet is also very good!
What's more important is that almost every shot he takes goes towards a blind corner, which makes it hard to guard against!
Maldini was the most depressed because he had a premonition just now.
In fact, if in the left attack just now, it was not Ribery but Su Dong who stood at the front of the penalty area, that attack would have been successful.
Of course, if Ribery had the ball, he probably wouldn't be able to plan such a shooting opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Su Dong would now go into battle in person.
This shot was completely unexpected by Nesta and Maldini. Sudong's grasp of the timing of the shot was simply superb.
One goal behind, it's still home, a precious away goal!
For AC Milan, the situation is very unfavorable now.
It's not a desperate situation yet, but if the situation cannot be reversed as soon as possible and Bayern really leaves with a one-goal lead, the game will be in danger in that round.
…
AC Milan's players began to worry about gains and losses, but Bayern's players were elated and couldn't be more excited.
Adhering to Bayern's fast-paced style of play is very taxing on the players, and it is also a test of willpower and fighting spirit, but AC Milan did not let Bayern take advantage throughout the first half.
This has also made many Bayern players very depressed, especially when they saw Ribery miss a good opportunity just now.
But now it's better, Su Dong scored!
Bayern leads by one goal, there is hope for such a game!
