The AC Milan fans on the San Siro stand looked serious and were not optimistic about the game.
From the perspective of qualifying factors, this game can not be lost for AC Milan and Hamburg. It is reasonable for AC Milan to strive for 3 points because they have the advantage of home. Hamburg can be satisfied as long as they can withdraw from the whole body.
But situ Yunbing on the sidelines obviously had other ideas!
Football is not an RPG, it is not more difficult in the future. Obviously, the competition difficulty of this group is comparable to the key battle of the knockout!
Defending champion Barcelona seems out of reach, but it is close at hand. It is inevitable that they will meet!
Situ Yunbing wants to break his wrist with Guardiola!
Hamburg in the group stage can play Barcelona is also the best baptism!
But before that, to ensure survival, that is to beat AC Milan at the San Siro!
After losing points, AC Milan overreacted and forced to launch a fierce attack, but under the background that the midfield had no place at all, the hidden dangers brought by the forced rise of the winger almost led to great disaster!
Abate hit the wall with Cassano in the front court assists and was snatched by Cantor from the side and rear successfully!
Cantor's performance today is really eye-catching. He is free and efficient at the same time!
This little player who looks like a muggy gourd really makes people see the shadow of Makelele in the past!
Hamburg launched a fast attack in the backcourt. Lakitic crossed the ball to the front court. De Brauner sent a straight plug like a scalpel after wiping van Bommel in the direction of pulling the ball!
When glitzmann had formed a single knife, he adjusted one more step in the restricted area, which gave Tiago Silva the chance to put the shovel back in place and block it. Finally, glitzmann's shot was blocked out of the bottom line by Silva's legs!
Tiago Silva, who got up from the ground, could not criticize his midfield teammates too much, but he still showed his dissatisfaction.
Situ Yunbing clenched his teeth slightly and missed such an opportunity. Even though he was very tolerant, he couldn't let go.
At the level of the Champions League, Hamburg's advantage on the road is already a strong performance. If you want to play a stronger performance, it's insatiable!
Ibrahimovic was very helpless in the front court, and Cassano's spirit was completely consumed.
Not against Hamburg, I'm afraid they can't imagine that their midfield is so fragile and vulnerable!
Alegre is also very helpless. AC Milan's midfield looks like the engine is rusty today. It depends on Seedorf to organize the attack. Van Bommel and Nocerino can't do it, but Seedorf is like he can't escape de mell's five finger mountain, and the physical confrontation is not de mell's opponent at all.
Defense mainly depends on van Bommel, but Van Bommel's two fists are difficult to defeat four hands. The combination of lakitic and de Brauner made him play round and round. He sweated a lot, but the ball didn't touch a few times.
As for Nocerino, he works hard at both ends of the attack and defense, but it's no use just trying. He becomes different when he kicks. His teammates may not understand what he is doing.
Barcelona has explained this, and Hamburg is now on a similar path.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Seedorf finally fulfilled the obligation of the attack organizer in the front court. He sent a wonderful pass to Emmanuel Elson.
The Hamburg defence is the most closely marked against Ibrahimovic, followed by Cassano and finally Emmanuel Elson.
Seedorf's feet stick to the ground and are stuffed with a bit of fairy ball. It seems that he doesn't know who to pass it to. However, emmanuelson's internal cutting after bypassing azpiliqueta forms a single knife!
But when Ibrahimovic followed up and waved for the ball, Emmanuel Sen hit the ball into the left rib of the restricted area, but shot himself!
His shot was of good quality and flew to the far corner of the goal. Unfortunately, Navas made a correct prediction and gave an advance amount before saving. Under the attention of the public, he jumped and beautifully blocked the ball out of the bottom line!
Ibrahimovic was so angry that he roared at emmanuelson with a crazy look!
"Emmanuel Sen wasted a single shot and his shot was magically dissolved by Navas!
Ibrahimovic is very angry about this. If Emmanuel Sen had just passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, I think most of the ball will be converted into a goal!
AC Milan missed a great chance, their best chance since the start of the game, a chance to equalize the score! "
Allegri covered his face with his hands. He looked more disappointed than Emmanuel Elson.
Situ Yunbing severely pointed his fingers to his eyes and warned the other party to observe the situation carefully and not to relax their vigilance!
The first half of the game soon ended, and de Brauner's long-range shot at the last moment was narrowly resolved by Abbiati.
Hamburg walked into the dressing room with a 1-0 lead.
Back in the dressing room, situ Yunbing re emphasized the tactics of the second half game.
One thing he resented was that in the first 30 minutes, after Hamburg made a long-range threat, AC Milan's defense took the initiative to strengthen the defense at the front of the restricted area, which gave Hamburg the opportunity to play the advantage of attack depth. Although Hamburg's goal came from van Dijk's header, it was a corner opportunity, but it was matuyidi who played the advantage of attack depth at the bottom of the side road that created the danger.
But after losing the ball, AC Milan's defense returned to its original state.
I would rather bear the threat of long-range shooting than take the risk of making use of the space behind Hamburg.
Perhaps when weighing the risks of the two, Nesta's AC Milan defense still believes that it would rather let the opponent shoot from a long distance than let Hamburg make waves in their restricted area!
The advantage of dominating midfield is already obvious, and it's a little whimsical to want to dismember the opponent's defense.
Tiago Silva and Nesta's central defence is definitely not easy to ravage.
Unless
Situ Yunbing is willing to take the risk of defense, remove a middle and back court player and return to the three forwards!
Under the background of one goal lead, situ Yunbing thought there was no need to take risks!
In the second half, the two sides fought again. AC Milan played a wave of strong attack after the opening. Seedorf's position was delayed. Since there was no performance in the front court, then withdraw. AC Milan played a three waist formation and let Cassano and emmanuelson withdraw. The attack should be promoted either by Seedorf's long pass or by two strikers.
If AC Milan played like this in the first minute of the game, Hamburg should be a little uncomfortable, but now because AC Milan is behind the score, they have such a posture. When they invest in the attack, they will constantly have reinforcements, and the backcourt defense can not be as solid as gold.
When Cassano tried a long-range shot to the right in front of the restricted area and created Navas's rescue, Ibrahimovic's follow-up shot was blocked out of the bottom line by Boateng.
Boateng turned and patted Navas who got up, and then immediately commanded his teammates to come back and defend!
AC Milan took advantage of this corner attack opportunity to form a continuous shooting opportunity!
First, Van Dijk headed out and was volleyed directly by Nocerino outside the restricted area. After the football was blocked by azpiliquetta's half turn back, Antonini sent a half high pass from the side. Ibrahimovic ran to the left rib of the restricted area to squeeze van Dijk out, stop the ball and adjust the second half turn volley!
Navas made a sharp save and blocked the ball out of the penalty area!
For a time, the restricted area of Hamburg was frightened!
It was not easy to form a counter attack fast break opportunity. De Brauner was quickly chased back and disturbed by Nocerino in the middle. He wanted to send a straight plug to Royce at the last moment, but Nesta broke the ball!
Hamburg fans sighed. Situ Yunbing clapped his hands on the sidelines and shouted to let the players withdraw their defense!
Seeing that the fast attack launched by AC Milan was a threat again, but after the ball reached Emmanuel Sen's feet, he sent the ball directly to the stands from a long-range shot outside the restricted area.
The frenzied attack at the beginning of the second half came to an end.
In view of Emmanuel Elson's performance, Allegri can only choose a replacement because his teammates have great opinions on him.
Aquilani came on and replaced him.
AC Milan changed to play the 442 formation and let Ibrahimovic and Cassano take charge of the attack. Seedorf still retreated in the backcourt and Aquilani hit the avant-garde.
Situ Yunbing put his arms around his chest and slightly tilted his head to observe the performance of AC Milan five minutes after the replacement. He obviously showed a thoughtful look, calm and focused.
Then, after he put down his arms, he decisively gave the team orders, and the two full backs released all the offensive energy!
AC Milan's transformation is to strengthen the resistance and control ability in the middle. IF Hamburg continues to maintain its previous playing method, it will be difficult to continuously deliver shells to the two strikers as before.
So now to strengthen the offensive aggression of full backs is to make full use of the width of the field and continue to bring pressure to the attack!
But the side effect is that the expansion of defensive space will increase the threat of AC Milan's fast attack.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Aquilani was destroyed by de mell in the front court.
After turning around, he found that Nocerino came forward and robbed lakitic successfully. Then he knocked the ball horizontally to Seedorf, who directly came forward to stop the ball and sent a foot close to the ground.
Cassano ran to the left in front of the restricted area to control the ball. It seemed that he had stopped the ball and was ready to change direction, but he took a step to the side before changing forward. This rhythm change made him dodge Kanter's steals!
As he continued to push the ball forward, Cassano observed van Dijk running towards him, so he decisively skewed the ball to the left rib of the restricted area.
Ibrahimovic quickly tilted into the running position and Boateng followed the defense. Ibrahimovic suddenly stopped and pulled the ball to change direction after taking a step along the trend. Boateng didn't expect that the tall Ibrahimovic would be so flexible. Ibrahimovic was about to start shooting when he stopped and turned to follow up!
Navas, who attacked at the critical moment, blocked most of Ibrahimovic's shooting angles. At the moment Ibrahimovic hit the rubbing shot, Navas also made a save action!
To Ibrahimovic's disbelief, Navas held the ball directly with both hands at close range!
Hold it!
If the most brilliant player in Hamburg's defense 60 minutes before the game was Cantor, at this moment, when Navas stood up from the ground with both hands calmly, no one in the audience was surprised!
The plain appearance of Navas seems to send out the breath of despair in the front of AC Milan!
Hamburg door god was born!
