Albertini stood in his own half, looking straight ahead.

In the middle circle of the stadium, Inzaghi and Shevchenko were standing on both sides of the ball. The referee stood aside, with the silver whistle in his mouth, looking at the wrist watch, and waiting for the kick-off time.

In front of him is Rui Costa, the most creative midfielder in Serie A. Last summer, he was transferred from Fiorentina at a record price in team history. At the same time, he is also the center of the midfield that the team has high hopes for. .

On the left is Ambrosini, a very comprehensive midfielder, and on the right is the butcher Gattuso, who is good at running coverage and defense.

AC Milan’s midfield configuration is very clear. Albertini is responsible for delaying organization and sorting while doing his own defensive work. Ambrosini assists from the side, Gattuso fully defends, and Rui Costa It is to deliver shells to the two super strikers on the front line.

In theory, this configuration and division of labor, coupled with the strength of the players, should be able to make AC Milan's attacking power soar.

But in fact it did not.

AC Milan this season has the weakest offensive power in the past few years. As for the reason...

Albertini turned his head and looked behind him. Captain Maldini was telling the center-back partner Raulson, and the two full-backs, Karadze and Contra, were also facing enemies.

The old captain suffered a lot of injuries this season. Players such as Lawerson, Junior and Chamott have never been able to stabilize the team's defense, making it difficult for the team to play offensively.

It's like a person who can't stand still, how to make a powerful punch?

But recently, with Maldini's return from injury, the defensive situation has improved a lot.

Maybe it was psychological, or maybe it was something else. In short, when I looked back and saw Maldini standing behind him, Albertini was relieved.

He cherishes this game very much because it will be his last fight in AC Milan.

The club management has notified his agent that he has to find another way out this summer.

Even the team did not hesitate to subsidize the salary, but also arranged for him to leave the team to speed up the metabolism of the team lineup.

"I can be 100% sure that after the opening, Atletico Madrid will definitely attack."

"So, we can't rush for this game. Start with a steady start, first stand firm, and then slowly look for opportunities to counterattack."

"Don't underestimate Atletico Madrid, this team has never been defeated this season!"

This is the head coach Ancelotti solemnly explained in the locker room before going on the field.

Rui Costa, Albertini and Maldini glanced at each other and nodded tacitly.

At this moment, a clear whistle was suddenly heard from the stadium.

Then, there was a burst of deafening cheers from the audience.

The game has finally begun!

Shevchenko quickly passed the ball to Inzaghi, who turned his back to the attacking direction and passed it back directly.

Atletico Madrid quickly pressed forward at the moment the whistle sounded, very decisive and determined.

Torres and Villa are like a sharp arrow that quickly rushed into AC Milan's defensive position.

Gattuso received a return pass from Inzaghi and immediately crossed it to Albertini.

As soon as Albertini received the ball, he felt someone rushing towards him quickly.

"Damn it, so fast?" The Italian midfielder was surprised secretly.

Without thinking about it, Albertini turned and passed the ball back to the defense.

Then, he felt like a hurricane passing by, Torres and Villa had ignored him and rushed directly to the back line.

As soon as Raulson received the ball, Villa slammed in front of him, so scared that he quickly passed the ball to Maldini.

But Maldini did not dare to let the ball stay, and once again passed to Karadze on the left.

Karadze quickly passed the ball forward to Ambrosini, but the latter turned his back to the offensive direction and just received the ball after retreating. Kaka had already killed him behind him.

"Be careful behind you." Albertini shouted to remind his teammates.

Atletico Madrid's pressing speed is too fast, right?

Ambrosini didn't lose the ball, but he couldn't turn around. He could only quickly pass the ball back to the defense.

Under the interference of Torres, Maldini broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly returned to pass the goal. Abbiati went out of the penalty area and took the opportunity to pass the ball to the midfield with a big foot.

However, Atletico Madrid's pressing continues.

Even before the game, I heard about it countless times from the media, watched countless videos on TV, and asked myself that I was prepared, but when the game started, I was facing the speed of Atletico Madrid with real swords and guns. The rhythm is pressing and oppressing, AC Milan is still shocked.

It's so fast!

And it's so organized!

No matter which area the ball passes to or which player it passes to, Atletico Madrid's defensive players can always get in front of him the first time, even if they can't form an effective defense, they can always cause interference.

Not to mention this kind of play in Serie A, even in the European League, it has never been seen before.

Even in the fast-paced Premier League, it is difficult to see such a team.

At the very least, although the English Premier League has a fast pace, it is far inferior to Atletico Madrid in terms of overall coordination.

When AC Milan was shocked by Atletico Madrid's opening press, the ball was lost!

Contra wanted a cross to Raulson, but he didn't pass it well. Under Villa's interference, Raulson made a big-footed clearance, kicked the ball out of the sideline, and the ball changed hands.

At this time, the game lasted less than one minute.

AC Milan was very surprised, this is the rhythm of Atletico Madrid?

Can they really play for 90 minutes at such a fast pace?

But soon, Atletico Madrid sent a foul ball from Jankulovsky, the ball passed quickly and continuously and fell to Guardiola's feet, and the rhythm of the sheet army slowed down.

The experienced AC Milan players feel the threat, and they can all see that in this slow pace, there is infinite murder.

"Be careful, don't worry!" Maldini loudly reminded the surrounding teammates.

Losing possession of the ball always makes people uneasy and easy to become anxious and irritable.

Especially in this critical final.

"This team is not only good at pressing, but also very skilled in the organization of the ball, which is very different from the traditional Atletico Madrid play."

Mauro Tassotti stood beside the coach Ancelotti, frowned and said.

"Yes, before, Atletico Madrid played like a hooligan. No matter what you are going to do, you will get a fat beating. In the double championship season of Nine, Five, and Six, this style of play reached its peak."

Ancelotti also sighed with mixed feelings, "But now... they have added delicate passing and control to this kind of hooligan style of play. This is really elusive and impossible to start."

Hooligans are actually not terrible, just because they are educated.

Today's Atletico Madrid is like a cultured hooligan, soft and hard, black and white, they don't eat all of them.

This is the most troublesome part of the Sheet Legion.

The same is to play the four-three-one-two tactic, Atletico Madrid is faster overall, and the midfielder's ability to control the ball is better.

The combination of Deco, Guardiola and Marcos Senna did not lose to Ambrosini, Albertini and Gattuso defensively, but was significantly better in terms of passing and possession.

This makes AC Milan very passive.

"We can only wait patiently for the opponent to make a mistake now." Mauro Tassotti sighed.

Although as a giant of AC Milan, facing Atletico Madrid should not be so ambitious, but there is no way, the Rossoneri really can not come up with an effective offensive threat.

What's more, the defensive counterattack has always been AC Milan's strengths.

At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation in the stadium.

I only saw Kaka on the court after receiving Deco's pass, turning around and wiping Ambrosini, dribbling forward.

This immediately made the whole stadium excited.

But when Kaka approached the line of defense and wanted to go straight behind him to find Villa, the referee quickly blew his whistle and the line referee raised the flag.

Offside!

There was another boo in the audience!

Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief, and Maldini and Lawerson's offside traps were arranged just right.

Although not as good as Atletico Madrid in terms of speed, we still have an offside trap.

Ancelotti and Mauro Tassotti looked at each other and both smiled slightly.

But this also reflects the personal ability of Atletico Madrid's frontcourt attackers. Once caught in a single combat, AC Milan's defensive players are difficult to effectively stop their opponents.

Therefore, Ancelotti also walked to the sidelines and signaled that the team's lines should be kept tight and not to be pulled by opponents for long distances.

After the adjustment, Ancelotti's heart was temporarily released.

You should be able to hold it now, right?

"Fuck offside!"

Gao Han was standing on the sidelines, watching the players on the court go home in a daze, but he laughed cheerfully.

As he prepared before the game, AC Milan sought stability after the opening and focused on defensive counterattacks.

But as Sergio García analyzed, the Rossoneri are slow and not good at opening the field, but Atletico Madrid is best at grabbing the start.

Therefore, there is no reason for the Sheet Corps to miss the prime time of the start in vain.

What's more, in the past month or so, Gao Han has consciously rehearsed the team's opening attack tactics, whether in training or in the game, just to be useful in this final.

Now is the time!

Gao Han Xianting strode forward and came to the sidelines to stand still.

As soon as all the Atletico Madrid fans in the stadium saw him, they burst into the most enthusiastic cheers since the opening.

As soon as the players on the court heard the cheers, they also looked to the sidelines tacitly~lightnovelpub.net~ Gao Han made a very simple gesture towards the players, pressed it up, and continued to attack!

At the same time, it entered the coaching system, using the Samsung pass card and the Samsung assist card, as well as the four-star offensive card.

After that, Gao Han did not withdraw from the coaching system. Instead, he paid close attention to the movement on the field and was ready to perform micro-operations at any time, switching the effect of skill cards according to the situation on the field.

The entire De Kuip Stadium was overwhelmed by the cheers of Atletico Madrid fans.

Everyone knows that what Gao Han is best at is directing on the spot. They all eagerly look forward to the coach's command to rewrite the game situation again.

Ancelotti also seemed to have heard about it for a long time. When he heard the movement of Atletico Madrid fans and saw Alpine's gestures, his heart tightened, and he immediately went to the sidelines and shouted to the players.

"Stay steady, be steady."

For a time, because of a gesture from Alpine, the entire De Kuip Stadium seemed to be caught in a kind of wind and rain.
