Chapter 24 The fiasco of AC Milan

At the beginning of the second half, Sneider consciously returned to the backcourt to help defend, and then Gago also started to come back to play as a guest midfielder. Although in order to give Sneider more playing time this season, Shistel adopted a combination of three offensive and midfielders. However, it does not mean that this lineup midfield does not have defensive ability.

Not to mention Alonso, Gago is also a midfielder. Sneijder was able to play in midfield at Real Madrid in the first two seasons. Therefore, the terrifying three-core composed of these three can be said to be versatile offense and defense.

To be honest, Schuster did not expect Sneider to be so good this season. He originally left Sneider just to enrich the team's style of play and find a substitute for Gago, but he did not know that he retained one of the best offensive midfielders this year.

If it weren't for Gago, a rare superstar, it would be possible that Sneijder will become the core this year with his condition. Although Sneijder has not scored a few goals and assists so far, and is completely incomparable to Gago in terms of data, his appearance guarantees Real Madrid's control.

The three cores composed of Alonso, Sneider and Gago, the three most outstanding midfielders in football today, have made Real Madrid's opponents extremely troubled. According to common sense, they should find a way to block Gago, and they do this at the beginning of each game, but within half the game, the opponent's head coach will relax his defense against Gago because of Sneider's excellence and then lose.

Although Sneijd has always been dissatisfied with Gago, he does not deny that he is indeed inferior to him in scoring goals, and even if he is a ball dominant in Real Madrid, no one dares to say anything. So this year, under a stable playing time, Sneijd played support with Gago with peace of mind. Just like the role Gago had in Riquelme in the Copa America in 2007.

After the opponent focused on Gago, Sneider began to show his strength, and after the opponent began to mobilize the defense line to encircle Sneider, Gago began to show his power.

Although Sneider did not receive many shots in this game today, he ran up and down in the midfield, helping to attack while also taking on the defensive task.

When Gago was concentrating on defending Pirlo, Sneider went to defend another core of AC Milan, Seedorf.

As compatriots from the Netherlands, the two can be said to be very familiar with each other, but their situation in the national team is completely different. Seidorf has no way to serve the country, while Sneider is already the well-deserved core of the Tulips Legion. So although the two are acquaintances, they will not be lenient.

Sneider used a fierce slip tackle to put Siddorf in his pass, ending an attack from AC Milan.

Then Sneider was pushed from behind by Seidorf when he was about to receive the ball, which made Real Madrid's fast attack end in vain.

AC Milan was originally anxious because of the delay in the offense. The confrontation between Sneider and Seidorf almost triggered a conflict between the two teams.

Raul and Nesta were pulled during a confrontation. They didn't look very good after standing up. If someone wasn't pulling him next to him, they might have to go up and push him a few times.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee blew the whistle and gave Nesta a yellow card. Then Alonso got a yellow card because of his big moves towards Kaka.

After giving two yellow cards in a row, the movements between the two teams finally began to converge, but the remaining time was less than half an hour. At this time, AC Milan players also understood that they had fallen into Real Madrid's plan.

Leonardo on the sidelines saw that the team was unable to start the game and finally started to substitution. He replaced Ronaldo with Pato, who did not perform well in the whole game. The original 4-2-3-1 formation was also replaced by 4-4-2. Inzagi and Pato came on the court, and he told the players on the court not to hold back and work hard.

Real Madrid started to recycle in a planned manner, and Schuster also made targeted substitutions. Albiol took the field to replace Marcelo, the biggest weakness in Real Madrid's defense line. At the same time, the two midfielders Mascherano and Diyala also began to warm up on the sidelines, and when the preparation time was almost over, they began to defend completely.

Although Real Madrid fans do not like ugly defense, they can occasionally accept defensive counterattacks based on victory.

And the importance of this game, fans also know that as long as they can win this game, they will basically be able to give up the remaining group stages of the Champions League and compete with their arch-rivals Barcelona in La Liga.

After Albiol came on the court, Heinze returned to the left-back position. Real Madrid has really sent the strongest defensive lineup. As time goes by, Albiol has gradually integrated into Real Madrid's defensive system, and together with Pepe, it is not perfect. But it is absolutely reliable.

The most depressing person in this game must be Kaka. As the star of AC Milan, he was originally expected by everyone before the game. He hoped that he could suppress Gago's arrogance that was almost invincible. You should know that although Messi led Barcelona to win the European Champions League last season, Gago's call is still very high in this year's Golden Globe Awards and World Footballer selections.

After all, last year Gago helped Real Madrid complete the three consecutive league championships and another double championship. Although these two championships cannot compare with Messi's Champions League in terms of value, their winnings are large.

Moreover, so far this season, Real Madrid's performance is really too coquettish and has not lost so far. Gago scored six goals and assisted nine times in nine league rounds, and has scored four goals to beat all scorers so far. In the Federation Cup this summer, he led Argentina to win the cup, and the World Cup qualifiers have advanced with an absolute advantage.

Even if Messi has the honor of the Champions League, many experts are still not optimistic about him because Gago's performance is really outstanding. Compared to Messi, who was in a goal drought some time ago, he can see progress every year, and the call for Gago, who has made all opponents despair, has higher voices in defending the Golden Globe Awards.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Kaka understood that the four kings in football today are the last ones that most people think. Compared with Ronaldo who dominates the Premier League, Gago and Messi who are in Europe have not helped the club and national teams win honors for two consecutive years. Although Kaka still has the appeal, he has no such momentum as who competes with him in 2007.

In the final analysis, his teammates are not good. Kaka originally hoped to use this game to prove that even one person could beat a team. But now he is not in 2007, and Real Madrid is not the Real Madrid two years ago.

Every time Kaka is about to speed up and break through, the Spaniard in front of him will always stand in front of him in advance, forcing him to slow down. After he slowed down, Real Madrid's defense line has completed the siege, forcing them to enter the positional battle.

Although he has good passing ability, his best attitude is to long-distance raids and last passes. His style is to open and close together, and embroidered needle painting is to Gago's style.

The four kings in football today are two midfielders and two forwards, but no one has the style of imagination. Ronaldo is strong in explosive power and physical strength, while Messi is strong in small-scale fluctuation and dribbling. Gago is the traditional organized midfielder but has the ability to score goals, and Kaka is an unstoppable man-to-ball unity state after big breaks and speeds up.

Not allowing AC Milan to counterattack and forcing them to fight on the position is the defensive tactics formulated by Schuster. However, during the position battle, Real Madrid began a defensive counterattack. Although there were no long-distance raiders like Kaka, the three Real Madrid midfielders were all long passers-by experts, and they could reach AC Milan's half in an instant.

In the 75th minute, Alonso intercepted the ball and transferred the ball to the left. After Sneider received the ball, he passed it to the right side of the frontcourt again. After throwing away Pirlo, Gago stopped the ball and passed it again. It took no more than five seconds to play from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

After Silva received the ball in the penalty area, he lightly spiked away from Zanbrotta and then shot from a small angle.

Fortunately, Dida quickly blocked the near corner this time, and the ball hit him and bounced out of the bottom line.

Zambrota made a sorry gesture to Dida, and the poor Italian left-back was completely beaten by Silva in this game. In order to be able to grab the main position during the days when Robben was injured, Silva could be said to have taken 12% of his form.

If it weren't for Thiago Silva's continuous replacement, Zambrota would have been exposed and even her pants would not be left.

"The young man is so terrifying!"

While sighing in his heart, Zanbrotta cheered up all his energy and followed Silva to the front point.

Gago stood at the corner kick point and looked at the crowd in the penalty area of ​​AC Milan. He found that there was no chance. There were people at the front and back points. In the middle, there were two mainstas of the opponent, Nesta, and Thiago Silva.

"This ball is not easy to drive!"

After taking a closer look at the situation in the penalty area again, Gago gave up the idea of ​​driving directly into it and glanced out of the penalty area. Seeing that there was no one around Sneijder defending, it was a good opportunity.

"Then try it, Wesley hopes you don't have to be weak at this time!"

Gago quickly kicked the ball into the upper right corner of the penalty area with his right foot. There was no AC Milan player in that place. After Sneid got the ball, he adjusted his posture, and without any hesitation, he shot the ball with his left foot!

In the entire Real Madrid team, Gago is the first to shoot from a long time, and Sneider is the second. However, since most of the ball is usually in Gago's hands, there is no chance for him to show it. But at the critical moment, Sneider showed his decisive killing scene.

The ball turned into a white light and flew towards the lower right corner of the goal. He did not encounter anyone in the penalty area along the way, but Dida was blocked by his own players. When he saw the ball, it was too late.

When the ball hit the net again, Leonardo closed his eyes in pain.
