"Oh! Leon has successfully won the confrontation again. It is difficult for Scully to successfully get a chance to shoot under Leon's defense. Leon's direct confrontation method makes Lazio's forwards play too hard!"
"High center forward Kozak can't do anything about Nesta's defense, especially when the ball is scarce. It is difficult for Lazio's two forwards to play the offensive effect that Edreja wants. Shouldn't they change their offensive thinking?"
Looking at the offensive and defensive rhythm that always favors Milan on the field, the commentator and special guest of Sky Sports Italy also began to question Edreja's offensive tactics.
After all, the ball has been taken back by Milan too many times in the stranglehold in the middle.
It is really puzzling that Lazio still insists on playing two forwards in this situation instead of strengthening the number of midfielders to achieve control of the ball.
But Edreja also has something to say.
Let him add midfielders. There is no problem. The most people sitting on the bench of Lazio are midfielders, but the key is, when he enters the midfield, which forward should he withdraw?
If the center forward Kozak is withdrawn, Lazio will not be able to get the ball in the frontcourt.
Scully is only 1.77 meters tall, and he can't even handle Leon's defense. Let him be the fulcrum in the penalty area?
It is even more impossible to withdraw Scully.
Kozak's scoring efficiency is not high. Let him be the fulcrum, but the goal must be left to Scully.
If Scully is withdrawn, Allegri will probably open champagne to celebrate.
Edreja looked at the time passing with a serious face. In the end, he had no choice but to make a bold decision when he couldn't withdraw the forward.
Next defender, next midfielder!
Allegri saw that this was a life-and-death struggle.
Pato just couldn't run much, and Lazio's backcourt became even more empty. Uncle囧 didn't hesitate too much and followed the substitution adjustment.
"Robinho is going to play! It seems that Milan does not intend to defend to the end, they still want to seize the opportunity to fight for a counterattack and score a goal!"
Accompanied by the excited voice of the commentator, the two teams almost completed the substitution adjustment.
And the game finally entered the stage that the fans were looking forward to.
Lazio played offensive football in the last 20 minutes, and they had to attack now.
Milan kept looking for counterattack opportunities to intimidate Lazio's empty backcourt.
It can be said that they played against each other, at least the rhythm was raised. This game has become truly "exciting and beautiful" until now.
However, for Li Ang and Milan's midfielders, Lazio's so-called full pressure is actually just that.
Speaking of which, Milan can be regarded as picking up a bargain against Lazio this round.
Because Lazio's original starting double forwards Flocari and Sarat were both absent due to injuries.
Scully and Kozak are just emergency substitute forwards.
In terms of the ability to create and seize opportunities, these two forwards can only be said to be average.
Therefore, in the absence of two major offensive players, Lazio's attack was completely "much ado about nothing".
It looked lively, but in fact, it did not really threaten Milan's backcourt defense several times.
However, the performance of Robinho, who was substituted on the Milan side, was a little bit eye-catching.
In the previous counterattacks, his dribbling breakthroughs were still quite sharp, but when it came to shooting, the bicycle prince was lame again today.
Especially in the 78th minute of the second half.
After Robinho received Ibrahimovic's straight pass and broke through the last Lazio defender, he actually kicked the ball directly in front of Muslera!
Allegri was so angry at this scene that he shouted "shit!"
Fortunately, Ibrahimovic's feet were still strong, and several shots from bad positions in the counterattacks also hit the goal frame, which shocked Lazio for a while and made them dare not attack recklessly.
In the last five or six minutes, Allegri saw that it was difficult to score a goal to kill the game in advance, so he simply signaled all the players to return to defense.
In the end, with the cheers of more than 70,000 home fans, Milan relied on a one-goal lead to grind Lazio to death!
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Allegri ran straight to his players from the sidelines with high spirits!
After defeating another strong opponent in the second half and opening the gap with Lazio, Milan's remaining direct competitors are Naples and Inter Milan.
And now that they have won six consecutive victories and their morale is high, Milan doesn't mind defeating Naples and Inter Milan again, so that these two teams can give up directly.
After a while, the San Siro Stadium, which was celebrating, broke out with more excited cheers!
The Milan players who were hugging and high-fiving each other in the field looked at each other. A few seconds later, the good news brought by the assistant coach made these stars in a good mood.
"Napoli lost again! Chievo beat Napoli 2-0 at home. Inter Milan surpassed them and rose to the second place in the standings, but there is still a gap of ten points with us!"
Napoli lost!
Inter Milan is ten points ahead of the second place!
The two consecutive good news made Allegri and the Milan players at the scene smile.
They are getting more and more stable, but the opponents have been losing the chain. If Napoli loses again, their spirit will be lost.
As for Inter Milan?
Let's wait until the 31st round of the league.
At that time, one battle will decide the outcome!
※※※
AC Milan, with the momentum of six consecutive league wins, successfully opened the February schedule.
Van Bommel's good integration further contributed to Milan's stable defense, and Ibrahimovic's good form protected Milan's offensive bottom line.
No matter how "difficult" each game was, and how fragmented the scene was.
Milan always found a way to score a goal before the opponent, and then dragged the opponent into their own rhythm with superb defensive skills.
In the 24th round of Serie A against Genoa on February 6, Milan used the same method to subdue the "Griffin Legion".
Genoa this season is actually not weak. Relying on a strong defense, it has reached the tenth place in Serie A despite the unfavorable offense.
Among them, they only lost 20 goals in 23 league rounds, second only to AC Milan, which lost 16 goals.
But Genoa, which seemed to have a very strong defense, was eventually stabbed twice by Ibrahimovic and Inzaghi, who came on as a substitute in the second half, and finally lost 0-2.
Except for the first goal scored by strong attack in the first half, Milan basically defended and wore down the opponent's will to resist.
Inzaghi's goal that killed the game was produced in Milan's counterattack in the second half.
It can only be said that this set is really effective in Serie A. As long as Ibrahimovic's state does not suddenly decline, it is difficult for any team's defense in Serie A today to completely freeze the Swedish magic tower.
After playing this round of Serie A, Milan's coaching staff almost started a new round of preparations without stopping.
But this time Allegri is not going to study the next round of league opponents carefully.
He wants to study Tottenham Hotspur, a strong team currently ranked fifth in the Premier League.
The 2010-2011 Champions League knockout round is coming.
It will be on the shelves at midnight on June 1st, on the shelves at midnight, on the shelves at midnight, and it has been confirmed by the big guys!
