“Welcome to Anfield Stadium!”

At the crowded Anfield Stadium, the live commentator was shouting loudly at the headphones and microphones worn on his face.

“What is about to start is 05

In the 2006 Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool's second leg against AC Milan, lost a 0:2 at San Siro Stadium a week ago and returned to his home court to look forward to revenge."[]

"After the camera, we can see that the Anfield Stadium, which can accommodate 45,000 fans, is full. Liverpool fans have put on red jerseys at home this time, making the entire Anfield Stadium stand a sea of ​​red. Especially in the KOP stand, Liverpool fans have raised red cardboards to form a row of huge subtitles."

"You will never walk alone!" The live commentator interpreted the subtitles, "It is obvious that this is the support and encouragement given to the team by Liverpool fans. Long before the game, the Reds fans kept saying that they would reverse AC Milan at home."

"Because UEFA refused to cancel Vidic's red card ban, Liverpool's defense line combination made certain adjustments in this game. The goalkeeper is still Reina, the left back is Riser, and the right back is Glen Johnson, which is a very strong offensive signal."

"In terms of the central defender combination, Yang Cheng has played Liverpool's main lineup last season, including Hypia and Carragher. I believe that his defensive strength will not be affected too much, because in several appearances this season, Hypia has shown strong strength, and I believe his condition is very good."

"There have been some changes in Liverpool's three midfielders. Carrick did not start, but sat on the bench, replaced by Essin, Davis and Gerrard. This is a bit surprising because Carrick has always been the core of Liverpool's organization and performed very well. But in this game, Yang Cheng left him on the bench. What does this mean?"

"The trident is still Ronaldo, Robben and Drogba. This is also the most terrifying trident offensive combination in Europe. The difficult journey is not even lost to Barcelona's Etoo, Ronaldinho and Messi. Ancelotti repeatedly said before the game that Liverpool's trident is terrible!"

"Accor Milan's starting lineup has not changed much, and it is still the 442 diamond midfielder position. Ancelotti did not play 4321 as expected. Obviously he thinks. 442 is used the most this season, the players are the most skilled in grasping it, and AC Milan's midfield characteristics can be maximized in the diamond four midfielder."

"The goalkeeper is Dida, and the defense line is Maldini, Karaze, Stam and Costakuta from left to right. This defense line was teased by Yang Cheng as a grandfather-level one because the four players combined are 138 years old, which is really a bit surprising."

"The four midfielders are Rui Costa, dragging back, Sedov on the left, Gatuso on the right, and Kaka occupies the front midfielder position. The two forwards are still paired by Da Inzagi and Giladino."

But as the players of the two teams appeared, especially when they saw the appearance of the Great Inzaghi, Liverpool fans roared and even a huge banner was cast in the stands with an image of the Great Inzaghi, followed by a sentence. "You are a shameless liar!"

"It is obvious that Liverpool is very dissatisfied with the fact that Liverpool has been missing one person in the first leg game for a long time and lost the first leg game 0:2. They are using this method to retaliate against Inzaghi. The latter has declined all interviews since the game ends. I wonder if this is considered guilty?"

The live TV footage was given to the referee. Unlike the referee in the first round, this time the referee came from Germany.

"This is the German international referee Merck. The referee in the second round was hailed as one of the most powerful and potential referees in Europe after Korina retired. He was once known as the top five gold medal referees in Europe along with Korina from Italy, Nelson from Denmark, Frisk from Sweden, and Mel from Switzerland."

"With Corina's retirement, Merck has been trained by UEFA. It is said that he will be very likely to enforce the law in the final of the 2006 World Cup held in his motherland. This will undoubtedly be the most glorious move in his whistle-holding career!"

In the live TV camera, Yang Cheng walked out of the stadium. The entire Anfield Stadium was cheering and tens of thousands of Liverpool fans all gave the head coach a thunderous cheer and applause.

Yang Cheng smiled and waved to the fans. Then he walked towards Ancelotti, greeted Fatty An and his assistant. When he walked back, he pointed to Merck in the distance and nodded with a smile.

The live TV camera was right now. The Germans were stern, but they nodded in response.

"Yang Cheng has a very high status in German football. Merck himself admits that he respects Yang Cheng very much. They are good friends, but this will not affect his law enforcement standards on the court. Ancelotti recognized UEFA's choice of Merck, because German referees are likely to be on the whistle in the World Cup final, and their fairness is recognized by everyone!"

"After the first round, although Yang Cheng did not bombard the referee when facing the media, he was very suspicious of the referee's fairness. Liverpool also appealed, and he kept calling in multiple media such as Weibo, hoping to get a level playing field in the second round."

"On the Internet, hundreds of thousands of Caesar and Liverpool fans have issued joint crys, rejecting all shady and unjust cases, hoping that UEFA can attach importance to fair competition, rather than always using various excuses to cover up, and try to make excuses for misjudgment and wrong judgments."

"It can be seen that UEFA is also very careful about the second round between Liverpool and AC Milan this time, because this game has attracted great attention. Even countless fans and reporters will stare at every penalty in the game to analyze and amplify. Improper handling will have an immeasurable impact on the Champions League."

"Even when Yang Cheng's archenemy Platini repeatedly denied that UEFA wanted to stop Liverpool from defending the title, he repeatedly stated that he would give Liverpool and AC Milan a fair and just playing environment. However, Yang Cheng's confidante and French beauty columnist Melissa Terrio were sarcastic in his column. This is because UEFA feels that AC Milan will win, so he will feel at ease to make the game fair."

"But judging from the law enforcement in the past few years, Merck's law enforcement is very strict, but relatively speaking, it is fair. He is a recognized international head coach in Europe. Now it depends on how his law enforcement is in this game!"

After the words of the Piaotian Silk Network, the referee Merck heard the whistle of the game starting as he looked at the time.

"The game has begun, and AC Milan's Giladino kicked the ball first, and Inzagi passed the ball back to Kaka. Kaka passed it back..." The commentator on the scene spoke very quickly, but when he just said this, he heard a beep sound on the court.

"Gerard has committed a foul!" the commentator on the scene shouted, "This is an invasion of Rui Costa. Merck thought that Gerald's movements were a bit big, so he specially called him to his face to remind him. It seems that the English people should not move too much."

"Ruy Costa fell to the ground, and he didn't seem to be injured. He got up soon and the game started again!"

…………

…………

But as the game progressed, AC Milan soon discovered a big problem.

Liverpool's three midfielders were in a triangle position, and they were pressing up very well when defending, and even Liverpool's entire defense line was pressed up, which compressed AC Milan's formation, and Rui Costa was frequently taken care of by Liverpool players. Especially Gerald, who was in the sudden front, almost entangled Rui Costa.

The Portuguese are the classical front midfielder. Although they retreated, the problem is that he still retains his technical characteristics when playing front midfielder.

Gerald's task in this game is to limit Rui Costa. Yang Cheng has two requirements for him. First, cut off all the balls passed to Rui Costa as much as possible. Second, once the ball reaches Rui Costa's feet, keep the ball. Let him control the ball, but not let him pass the ball easily, and pass it back regardless of him.

In order to make Gerald more clear about Rui Costa's technical characteristics, Yang Cheng and the technical team specially produced some highlights of Rui Costa, and then the technical team specifically analyzed the characteristics of Rui Costa. Help Gerald defend Rui Costa.

It was as if this time, when Maldini went forward to get the ball, he was harassed by Robben. He immediately passed the ball to the middle, and Karaze passed it to Rui Costa.

Gerald certainly can't take care of such a central defender's pass, so his first choice is to rely on it. Limit Rui Costa's pass and next move.

According to Moniz's analysis, Rui Costa's technical characteristics actually have great similarities with Riquelme. When they take the ball, they have a characteristic, that is, they can control the ball within the range they can get at any time, which is what many people say, the ball sticks to their feet.

"Usually, as long as the distance between the ball and his feet is within one step, it is very difficult to break the opponent's ball. The reason why Robben's small step is difficult to steal is because his ball will never exceed him too far, and it is basically within one step, and Riquelme is the same."

"This technique is easy to say, but in fact, it is difficult to do it on the court and to do it skillfully. Zidane, Rui Costa, Riquelme and others can do it, so it is unlikely that defensive players will be able to intercept the ball from their feet successfully."

"So, when Rui Costa gets the ball, the first step you have to do is not to intercept the ball, but to stick it up, keep a certain distance, not threaten his ball under his feet, but to predict his next ball route, such as who will come to pick him up, usually Seedorf, you can block this line!"

The words of Yang Cheng and Monitz appeared in Gerald's mind. When Rui Costa got the ball, he saw Sidorf running over. He immediately chose to stand on the right side of Rui Costa and blocked him and Sidorf.

When Rui Costa realized that Gerald blocked his pass route, his first reaction was that he could not pass the ball, so he took two steps back and passed it to Stam behind him. The Dutch passed it to Gattuso, but Gattuso quickly passed it back to Rui Costa because Essin and Davis were doing a sweep.

In this way, it was equivalent to going around a circle and the ball returned to Rui Costa's feet, but Liverpool's defense had been organized. The running positions of Kaka, Inzagi and Giladino in front just now had completely become useless.

"Acc Milan firmly controls the ball under his feet, but Liverpool's midfield pressing is very well organized, especially against Rui Costa's defense, Essin and Davis are covering behind him to ensure that it is difficult for AC Milan to pass the ball easily."

But it is obvious that Liverpool is also adapting to this kind of encirclement and coverage of the midfield, especially the restrictions on Rui Costa, so there is a stalemate on the scene.

But the effect on the court is very obvious, and Liverpool is pressing up as a whole. AC Milan has a lot of ball control in the middle and backcourt, but it has not found an effective way to send the ball to the front. Kaka, Inzagi and Girardino were wasting running and sprinting in the front again and again, but they never got the shells passed from behind.

"Ac Milan's trident is equivalent to three teethless tigers. It seems fierce, but it cannot bite people. Liverpool has done a good job of suppressing AC Milan, especially in oppressing Rui Costa. This is already a well-known secret, that is, to pinch Rui Costa. AC Milan's offense is curbed, especially in terms of attack speed."

Yang Cheng dared to push the entire defense line up, betting that Essin and Davis in the midfield can establish a solid interception zone, and Gerald can hold Rui Costa. If the midfield cannot handle it, then Liverpool will definitely be tragic.

I want to play the battle of trapped beasts. But the cage is not strong enough, and the result must be that the beasts are rushed out of the cage and destroyed!

…………

…………

"It's dangerous to keep giving the ball to our half!" Tasotti said with concern.

Ancelotti was sitting in the visiting team's coach's seat. He didn't want to go out because the crazy Liverpool fans were always harassing him and kept throwing things at his head, just as annoying as the damn Yang Cheng.

"It's obvious that they are going to strangle Rui Costa and Sidov to limit our midfield!" Tasotti looked at Ancelotti and felt a little depressed. Because he had thought before that he should play single striker and use Ambrosini to play 5 midfielders.

The 4321 tactics can prevent AC Milan's midfield configuration from being as monotonous as the 442 diamond midfield position, just like Liverpool now strangled Rui Costa and Siddorf. AC Milan's midfield will not be effective.

Moreover, Yang Cheng obviously set up a squad against AC Milan. He knew that AC Milan was best at oppressive play, sending the ball to the frontcourt, and then forming an orderly back-legged foot in the frontcourt to find the right opportunity. Or it was passed by Rui Costa, who was caused by Kaka suddenly dribbled the ball forward.

But now it's fine. He directly pressed the midfield in the middle and after the opening, he pressed Rui Costa in his own half, and launched fierce midfield pressing and covering defense, which was equivalent to suppressing AC Milan's sharpest offensive weapon.

If Kafu and Yankulovski are on the sidelines, the forward pass of the full-back can provide Rui Costa with enough support points, but in order to defend Ronaldo and Robben, Ancelotti has played Costakuta and Maldini, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to sack the full-back's ability to participate in the offense.

Looking at the home team coach's seat in the distance, Yang Cheng was still standing on the sidelines as usual, while Benitez and Paul Bayer were talking to Tim Hank in the coach's seat.

Seeing this group of people, Tasotti couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yang Cheng's excellence is not only him, but also his entire coaching team. At least he, Paul Bayer and Benitez, if there is a targeted tactical showdown, it is probably difficult for a team to defeat this pair of combinations.

Ancelotti didn't know this, but he was mentally prepared. After a smile, "Yang Cheng always thought that he always prepared for the future and had a last resort, but he didn't expect that not only he would think so, but others would do it!"

After saying that, Ancelotti deliberately smiled and patted Tasotti on the shoulder, "Mauro, play a long pass, look for Girardino!"

Girardino was regarded by the Italian media as cunning as Inzaghi, and as strong as a powerful center in Vieri.

If you carefully analyze AC Milan's signings last summer, it is not difficult to find that AC Milan has introduced two powerful centers, Vieri and Girardino. The former sat on the bench tragically, while the latter became the forward trusted by Ancelotti.

Needless to mention Vieri's technical characteristics, although Giladino is not as powerful as the Italian media promotes and hypes, it does reflect his characteristics in some way, that is, comprehensiveness, practicality and dexterity.

Girardino has proven himself to be a very outstanding center player in Parma, with certain physical ability to fight, excellent balls on his back, good running awareness, and able to break through. Although he is better at his feet, his heading skills are also good.

The purpose of AC Milan's signing is very clear, which is to use these two players to fill the defects in AC Milan's forward line last season, which is the lack of high ball handling ability. Therefore, after Girardino came to Milan, in order to adapt to Ancelotti's tactics, his speed and flexibility decreased, but his physical confrontation ability has been improved a lot, and his ability to hold the ball behind his back was also strengthened.

He is the most important frontcourt fulcrum for Ancelotti in tactical territory and double strikers, especially his ability to take the ball from behind in the frontcourt, which can maximize the offensive methods of AC Milan in the frontcourt.

After arranging the adjustments and tasks, Ancelotti turned his head and looked at Yang Cheng in front of the home team coach's seat, and he smiled coldly.

你不是老嘲笑我是万年老二吗?

In today's game, I want you to know that no one in this world will be the eternal winner!
