Chapter 1202: Chapter 369: Master of Qingcheng, Capello
But as a defensive midfielder, it’s not quite right to press up to Chelsea’s defensive line to put pressure on Huang Kaiwen, who is also playing as a defensive midfielder.
Pirlo and Ambrosini pass the ball back and forth in the backfield, and Milan’s offensive line begins to push forward as a whole.
Kaka prefers to operate on the left when away from the middle, but since Torres also likes to operate on the left, Kaka temporarily moved to the right.
Ibrahimovic plays the role of a pivot in the middle, it would be a waste not to use his height.
Although this turns into a 4-3-3 making connection between the front and back more difficult, Milan is not afraid of this due to many players in the backfield having the ability to pass the ball.
As long as an opportunity arises at any position on the opponent’s side, AC Milan can quickly deliver the ball to that position, allowing the Trident to launch an assault on the opponent’s penalty area.
Drogba and Quaresma charged towards Pirlo, who prepared to pass sideways, noticing Joe Cole lingering beside Ambrosini.
He passes the ball forward to the advancing Bonera.
Bonera receives the ball and surges forward, Ballack has already rushed up.
In a moment of panic, Bonera passes back, almost giving the ball directly to Ashley Cole. Gattuso goes to ground with a tackle, getting the ball first.
After getting up, he stretches out his hand and gets entangled with Ashley Cole.
Players from both sides run to the right to support their teammates, and Gattuso holds his position, turning several times before finally finding an opportunity to make a sideways pass to the left.
Jankulovski receives the ball and immediately passes it back to Pirlo.
Mikel, who has pushed upfield, comes in with a sliding tackle, and Pirlo, with the inside of his left foot, flicks the ball behind to the right and immediately follows with a long pass.
The ball swiftly crosses the halfway line heading directly for Chelsea’s penalty area.
“You go to the right!”
Terry shouts and charges towards where the ball is going to land.
Huang Kaiwen directly rushes towards Torres, with his good friend Ramos pressing too far forward, it’s normal for the Yellow Ball King to cover for his good friend, and Kaka comes back to assist. There are just two attacking players at the front, just right to cover one each.
Ibrahimovic receives the ball in front of Terry, but his speed isn’t enough to completely shake him off.
As Ibrahimovic tries to observe Kaka’s position, Terry decisively goes to ground with a sliding tackle, sending the ball into the penalty area.
Cech comes out and swings his right foot at the ball, which quickly flies towards Milan’s half.
Ballack and Ramos almost simultaneously rush towards the landing point, Pirlo, initially running forward, stops in his tracks, letting Ambrosini contest the header, deciding to go for the second ball.
The ball finds Drogba at the edge of the penalty area.
Drogba’s turn with the ball is too obvious, and Maldini sticks out a foot from behind to poke the ball away, Gattuso and Ashley Cole once again get entangled on the sideline, Gattuso raises a foot to kick the ball towards Cole.
Ashley Cole instinctively moves his body backward, the ball strikes the inside of his thigh and bounces off Gattuso out the sideline.
“Today’s game is really fast-paced.”
“Yes, both sides are very direct with the ball, mainly due to their long-pass ability; they don’t need much organization in the backfield, a single pass can find a teammate up front.”
“Yes, that’s why the game pace is particularly fast, both sides launch immediate counterattacks upon receiving the ball.”
Huang Kaiwen jogs upfield, stops near the center circle where Ibrahimovic waits for a counterattack.
Ibrahimovic nudges Huang Kaiwen’s shoulder and says.
Huang Kaiwen feels nudged and instinctively prepares to fall on the grass.
Then remembers today’s opponent is Milan and doesn’t follow through.
“It’s from the last time you played against Arsenal, you were amazing!”
Ibrahimovic says with a smile, the muscles on his face twitching along with his hawk-like nose.
Huang Kaiwen smiles and says: “You were the strong one.”
Hearing Huang Kaiwen’s words, Ibrahimovic grins wide enough to show his molars, not forgetting to glance at Torres on the left, leaving Torres puzzled.
“My son, Massimiliano, loves watching your games, and with my second child on the way, if it’s another boy, I’m thinking of naming him Kevin.” Ibrahimovic says.
You traitor! Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveIꜰire.net
Is this how you repay kindness?!
Huang Kaiwen leaves Ibrahimovic and charges towards the front.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen coming up, Ballack immediately twists his ankle, sending the ball back.
Huang Kaiwen lifts his left foot, the ball hits the outside of his instep and bounces again, he swings his left foot again, the instep strikes the lower side of the ball.
The ball swiftly flies towards the penalty area, Drogba is a step too slow, and Maldini stretches a foot to block it out of the penalty area.
Quaresma is quick, rushing in right away.
Jankulovski, too late to clear it, slides and kicks the ball out over the sideline.
Players from both teams quickly position themselves near the penalty area.
Gattuso simply runs to Huang Kaiwen’s side, holding his hand against Huang Kaiwen’s back, afraid he might run away.
Huang Kaiwen asks, somewhat speechlessly: “Should I lean back to cooperate with you, and then spin a few rounds with your fingertips?”
“If you want, you can.” Gattuso grins.
Quaresma looks at the penalty area, his peripheral vision constantly checking Huang Kaiwen’s position.
Huang Kaiwen chooses to start and run to the left.
Gattuso, a step late to start, only manages to take a step before Huang Kaiwen turns back to the middle.
The waiting Quaresma throws the ball fiercely to the outside of the Big Penalty Area.
