Chapter 47: Thoughts From Spain

《Magic continues, 'lucky boy' helps Milan win two consecutive games! 》

《Magic power? Naples suffered two consecutive defeats after Li Ang joined Milan! 》

《Securing the half-time championship, the key to Milan's success in the first half》

《Allegri, a stubborn but successful man》

《Ibrahimovic, the key to the league victory》

When AC Milan defeated Udinese and successfully won the Serie A half-time championship this season, the whole of Italy seemed to be left with only the voice of praising Milan's performance.

Perhaps at the beginning of the league, when Milan's performance was slightly turbulent, the media in Milan had some complaints about Allegri.

After all, not only was his playing style ugly, his performance was not good, and he was determined to clean up the old ministers in the Milan team.

But now, the media occasionally criticize Allegri, but they just say that his tactics are too conservative.

No one will question the correctness of his tactics anymore.

To put it bluntly, he was able to lead Milan, which had been away from the league championship for six years, back to the position of the league leader, and won the league half-time championship neatly.

Allegri has won the support of most Milan fans and pro-Milan media with his actions.

As for whether the game is good or not?

Between victory and spectacle, Milan fans would rather hold back every game and want to see their beloved team further consolidate its position at the top of the league!

As long as they can win, all problems are not problems.

Li Ang has fully experienced the tolerance from Milan fans.

After all, his home team Real Madrid has the most "picky" fans in the world.

He felt the backstab of his own fans more than once when he was sitting on the bench of Real Madrid some time ago.

Although sometimes I am used to hearing those boos, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

The day after the match with Udinese, that is, around 2 pm on January 10.

After a good sleep and a good meal, Li Ang consumed a bottle of intermediate physical recovery potion that the system refreshes every ten days, and then went straight to Milanello with a refreshed spirit.

The video of him driving into Milanello for extra training that afternoon was posted on the Internet by reporters, which attracted the attention of countless Milan fans.

However, he treated these opinions as usual, good or bad, he didn't take them to heart.

After the extra training, he went to the physiotherapy center for a series of massages as Allegri had instructed before, and he drove away again at nearly six o'clock in the afternoon.

For two consecutive days, when other Milan players were relaxing and resting, Li Ang completed the extra training so tirelessly.

Therefore, on January 12, when the first-team members of Milan resumed preparations for training, Li Ang was obviously ahead of other players in terms of state.

Now Flamini and Merkel, who were a little dissatisfied with Li Ang before, had nothing to say.

They couldn't compare with defensive strength, nor with diligence and endurance, so they had to honestly accept the status of substitutes.

There was no dissatisfaction and dispute about the starting position in the team, and the current team record was also very good.

The training atmosphere inside Milan was much better than before, and everyone had some smiles on their faces.

After active and smooth preparations, on the evening of January 16, Milan welcomed the 20th round of Serie A away to challenge the little pepper Lecce.

Judging from Lecce's paper strength and current position in the standings, it is a relegation team, the kind of team that Milan does not have to worry about at all.

But the actual situation is that Allegri attaches great importance to Lecce.

Because this is a typical "rob the rich and help the poor" team.

Although the little pepper has lost enough games, they also tied Inter Milan at home before and almost overturned Naples away.

In the last round of the league, Lecce successfully defeated the Blue Eagle Lazio away!

Look, three of the top four teams have been hit by the pepper brother, and only Milan has thick blood and can survive. When they first met Lecce, they won steadily.

But now Lecce has obviously boosted its morale by defeating Lazio, and Allegri does not want to capsize in the gutter.

Therefore, when playing away, Uncle囧 directly set up a 4321 formation.

Pirlo, Leon and Gattuso were used as defensive midfielders, Seedorf and Boateng were placed in front, and only Ibrahimovic was used as a striker.

This is too stable.

Lecce did not expect Milan to play so poorly in the second encounter with them.

They played defense and counterattack in the last round, but this round they became the active attacking side. This feels so awesome!

Milan fans are used to it.

Anyway, Milan is basically 50-50 in the first half against any team now. If they play defense and counterattack against Lecce, then let's play, and finally get three points.

The game ended in the first half as Milan continued to wear down Lecce's offensive will. The two sides were very constipated and tied 0-0. The scene was really eye-catching.

Milan players also thought so, but their head coach Allegri felt satisfied.

However, during the halftime break, Uncle Jon made tactical adjustments on the offensive end and did not choose to continue to be conservative.

"In the second half, we must seize the opening! If they seize the opening, we should seize the opening too. It is best to completely disrupt the rhythm of the game! We have five midfielders, and if we disrupt the game, we will naturally have an advantage over Lecce! Clarence (Seedorf), I want you to try to establish a stable connection with Zlatan, and Kevin (Boateng) should shoot from behind when he has the chance, and catch them off guard."

Li Ang was initially skeptical of Allegri's tactical adjustments.

He does not think that disruption is really more beneficial to Milan.

There needs to be some routine, right?

Can an offense without any tricks really be reliable?

But shortly after the start of the second half, Boateng, who fought fiercely, got two consecutive shooting opportunities from the feet of Lecce's midfield players.

After Ibrahimovic overturned Lecce's midfielder and used Milan's fourth shot in the game to hit the post, Li Ang had to give in.

"Is this all right? Xuanzong's first generation is indeed worthy of being a first generation. I feel that this is more mysterious than Qi Zu's legendary method."

Li Ang just sighed mentally, and Ibrahimovic received another through ball from Seedorf in the frontcourt during the chaos.

This time Ibrahimovic didn't have a weak foot, and a crisp push shot made Lecce's gate fall, and Milan gained a 1-0 lead!

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

Milan hadn't even finished celebrating yet, and Allegri on the sidelines began roaring tactical instructions again.

In the end, with everyone returning to defense and holding on, Milan was stunned to take all three points from Lecce's Vidimali Stadium.

Ugly?

Who would say Milan's ball is ugly now?

Just tell me whether you won or not!

Li Ang, who has won three consecutive league victories with the team recently, once again won unanimous praise from Milan fans and media with the team's most outstanding defensive data.

But in Spain, which is not too far away, Real Madrid fans, who have just won their second consecutive league draw, are beginning to miss their little lion.

3-3 in one game and 2-2 in another game. Real Madrid's midfield defense seemed to have a big problem again.

But this time, the familiar long-haired boy will no longer stand up from the bench and use defense to stabilize Real Madrid's defense in the turbulent game situation.
