Ancelotti didn't stretch his eyebrows after the game started. He could clearly see the contrast between the two sides. The play of Knotts County really caused AC Milan a headache.
Because of the powerful strength of the midfield, and the team has no excellent wing players, Ancelotti can only defame Galliani who does not understand the ball, while racking his brain to design Milan's attack tactics. To a team with weak defense in the midfield, AC Milan will easily win.
But if the opponent's midfield strength is equally strong, then AC Milan will have no advantage.
As if playing against Juventus, Milan does not have much advantage in the midfield. The two teams that know each other can only rely on luck to decide the victory or defeat.
The reason why we were able to score a penalty shootout with Juventus in the UEFA Champions League final last season is because neither side has too good wing players and can only make a fuss in the middle. Isn't such a game boring!
Notts County is different. The three players in the middle are all excellent players, and they also have a defensive midfielder that is not inferior to Gattuso on the bench. This kind of midfield configuration is enough to match AC Milan. The midfielder competes head-on without falling.
This is not over yet. What makes Ancelotti feel most helpless is that Knotts County's wing offense is still so sharp.
The two wing players, as if they had engines on their legs, were about to be able to see the exhaust that they exploded after the hurricane. These two players could mess up AC Milan's defense.
Speaking of AC Milan’s lineup, it is the envy of the world, but it was restrained by the Notts County lineup. Even if you are facing Juventus, Ancelotti is not like this. Troubled.
The game went on for another ten minutes and Knotts County's offensive was even sharper, especially in the offensive and defensive transition. It was really uncomfortable to catch Milan, which is precisely what the Premier League team is best at.
If you continue to play according to this routine without making changes, then AC Milan losing the ball is sooner or later.
In fact, Ancelotti did not have a very good response. After all, the limitations of the team's player configuration are here. Looking at the crooked dates on the bench, he does not know how to face them.
After hesitating for a long time, Ancelotti can only make the team shrink back and play Italy's most orthodox defensive counterattack. Although it seems a bit of a loss to play defensive counterattack as a giant in Milan, there is no victory or championship.
In fact, this tactic is also the most suitable for AC Milan. There are long pass players. Two forwards in the front field are all-round forwards and one is an opportunist. Such a configuration fights back, but it is more threatening. .
Also, when the game reached more than twenty minutes, AC Milan withdrew, and Milan players were reluctant, but since it was Ancelotti's instructions, they had to follow.
No way, who told them to run into a wonderful club like Notts County!
If the opponents are Real Madrid Barcelona Bayern and other super giants, then AC Milan is more devoted to defensive efforts, even the most discerning fans will not forget the skill of Italian football connoisseurs.
The notorious team in Conots County has the strength not inferior to the top giant clubs. More importantly, the tactics are still very restrained, and the contradiction appears like this.
However, after AC Milan's recovery, Notts County's offensive will not threaten AC Milan's goal again and again, and in this case, also pay attention to Milan's counterattack, Notts County does not dare to fully press Got on.
As a result, the two teams fell into a state of stalemate. Notts County did not dare to attack, and AC Milan did not have a good chance to fight back. For a time, the game became dull and stale.
Lough has nothing to adjust. In such an important game, the first thing to ensure is not to lose the ball and not to fall behind. At least Notts County does not need to worry about this now. As for what adjustments are made during the intermission, then It depends on the performance of both parties in the next 20 minutes.
Offensive and defensive transitions are slow, AC Milan usually has a long pass by Pirlo to find the two forwards in front, and the full-time midfielder Rui Costa has not played a big role on the court at this time, because he can All he did was harass the two organizers who controlled the ball in Notts County, and he had nothing to do with the offense.
When it was so insignificant, Rui Costa felt so frustrated for the first time in his life, Deco's defense made him do nothing, but he could not prevent Deco, both ends of the attack and defense were exploded, this is the same as Zidane Master of the waistline?
The first half of the game was over, and neither side was able to score goals, but in terms of statistics, Notts County is very good looking, the ball control rate is very high, but the two teams combined only had a 5-foot shot in the first half. Where is this like a European Super Cup match!
Fans from Notts County and AC Milan supported their clubs as always, but local Monaco fans were very dissatisfied.
What is this play?
Such an expensive fare makes us sleepy, not as good as Monaco's game in Ligue 1!
But even if they defecate again, they can't refund the ticket, so they can only express their dissatisfaction through boos!
During the halftime Luff made the first adjustment directly. Mascherano replaced Sneijder. He did not believe that AC Milan would be willing to pass the passive situation and would definitely make it in the second half. Appropriate adjustments to strengthen the offensive, so Mascherano playing at this time can make the defense of Notts County more stable.
Sneijder's role on the court is not particularly obvious. This is not a problem of strength, but a problem of tactics of both sides. He knows this very well, so he is not particularly unhappy.
In fact, what made him feel uncomfortable was that Notts County signed the Brazilian supernova Kaka, but this is a strong opponent to compete with him in the main front position. Although he has great confidence in himself, he can remain rational. In this case, this is definitely an opponent who dares not have any slack.
In another locker room, Ancelotti is also adjusting the staff. Rui Costa has no effect on the field at all. It is expected that letting him walk on the field is worse than changing to a player who has been more helpful to the team.
Looking at Milan's bench, there are actually very few who can get it. In the end, Ancelotti still only allowed the former lone wolf Rivaldo to play. Milan's formation has become a classic 433. Milan in the second half Must let go offensive. (To be continued.)
