Chapter 397 The Frustrated AC Milan
At the beginning of the second half, Sneijder consciously returned to the backcourt to help defend, and then Gago also began to come back to play as a midfielder.Although this season in order to give Sneijder more playing time, Schuster adopted a combination of three attacking midfielders.But it doesn't mean that the midfielder of this lineup has no defensive ability.

Not to mention Alonso, Gago also came from a defensive midfielder, and Sneijder could only work as an engineer in the midfield in the first two seasons in Real Madrid.Therefore, the terrifying tri-core composed of these three people can be said to be all-round offensive and defensive.

To be honest, Schuster did not expect that Sneijder would be in such a good state this season. Originally, he kept Sneijder just to enrich the team's style of play and find a substitute for Gago, but who knew But retained one of the best attacking midfielders this year.

If it weren't for Gago, an unborn superstar, it would not be impossible for Sneijder to become the core with this year's state.Although Sneijder has few goals and assists so far, and is completely incomparable with Gago in terms of statistics, his appearance has guaranteed Real Madrid's control.

Alonso, Sneijder, and Gago, the trio composed of the three most outstanding midfielders in today's football, have given Real Madrid's opponents a headache.According to common sense, they should find a way to block Gago, and they do this every time the game starts, but before halftime, the opponent's head coach will relax because of Sneijder's excellence. defense, and then lost.

Although Sneijder has always been dissatisfied with Gago, he does not deny that he is not as good as him in scoring goals, and no one dares to say anything even if Gago is a ball bully in Real Madrid.So this year, with a stable playing time, Sneijder played support beside Gago with peace of mind.It's the same role Gago played next to Riquelme in the 07 Copa America.

After the opponent focused on Gago, Sneijder began to show his edge, and after the opponent began to mobilize the defense to encircle Sneijder, Gago began to show his power.

Although Sneijder didn't catch the ball and shoot many goals in today's game, he ran up and down in the midfield, helping the offense while also undertaking the task of defense.

When Gago concentrated on defending Pirlo, Sneijder went to defend another core of AC Milan, Seedorf.

As compatriots of the Netherlands, the two can be said to be very familiar with each other, but the situation of the two in the national team is completely different.Seedorf has no way to serve the country, while Sneijder is already the well-deserved core of the Tulip Legion.So although the two are acquaintances, they will not be soft on this.

Sneijder put a vicious sliding tackle on Seedorf when he passed the ball, and ended an AC Milan attack.

Then Sneijder was pushed from behind by Seedorf when he was about to catch the ball, which also made Real Madrid's fast break come to an end.

Originally, AC Milan was anxious because of the delay in attacking the situation, and the confrontation between Sneijder and Seedorf almost triggered a conflict between the two teams.

Raul and Nesta were pulled together during a confrontation, and they didn't look very good when they stood up. If it wasn't for someone pulling them, they might have to go up and push a few times.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee blew his whistle and gave Nesta a yellow card, and then Alonso also got a yellow card because of his big action against Kaka.

After two consecutive yellow cards, the action between the two teams finally began to converge, but the remaining time is less than half an hour. The players of AC Milan also understand that they have been tricked by Real Madrid at this time .

Leonardo on the sidelines finally started to make substitutions when he saw that the team was unable to get started. He replaced Ronaldinho, who did not perform well throughout the game, with Pato.The original 4-2-3-1 formation was also changed to 4-4-2. The two forwards Inzaghi and Pato came on the field. He also told the players on the field not to hold back their hands and work hard.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, started recycling in a planned way, and Schuster also made targeted substitutions.Albiol came on to replace Marcelo, the biggest weakness in Real Madrid's defense.At the same time, Mascherano and Diarra also began to warm up on the sidelines, and when the preparation time was almost up, they began to defend completely.

Although Real Madrid fans don't like ugly defenses, they can still occasionally accept a defensive counterattack on the basis of victory.

And the importance of this game fans also know that as long as they can win this game, they will basically be able to give up the rest of the Champions League group stage.Wholeheartedly in the La Liga and rival Barcelona a good one.

After Albiol came on the field, Heinze returned to the position of left back. Now Real Madrid really has sent the strongest defensive lineup.With the passage of time, Albiol has gradually integrated into Real Madrid's defensive system, forming an imperfect but absolutely reliable central defender combination with Pepe.

The most depressed person in this game must be Kaka. As the head star of AC Milan, he was originally expected by everyone before the game.I hope he can suppress Gago's almost invincible arrogance. You must know that although Messi led Barcelona to win the European Champions Cup last season, Gago's voice is still very high in this year's Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year selection.

After all, last year Gago helped Real Madrid complete three consecutive league titles and another double crown. Although these two championships cannot compare with Messi's Champions League in terms of gold content, they win more in quantity.

And so far this season, Real Madrid's performance is really coquettish, and they have not lost a single game so far.Gago has scored six goals and assisted nine times in nine league rounds. So far, he has scored four goals in the Champions League and beat all shooters.In this summer's Confederations Cup, they led Argentina to win the cup, and they qualified for the World Cup qualifiers with an absolute advantage.

Even if Messi has the glory of the Champions League, many experts are still not optimistic about him, because Gago's performance is really outstanding.Compared with Messi, who fell into a scoring drought some time ago, he can see improvement every year, and Gago, who is stable enough to make all opponents despair, has a higher call for defending the Ballon d'Or.

Although unwilling to admit it, Kaka understands that he is the last of the four kings of today's football that most people think.Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo, who ruled the Premier League, Gago and Messi who are in Europe, Kaka, who has not helped the club and the national team to win honors for two consecutive years, although his appeal is still there, but there is no such thing as the 07 who is with him. The momentum of fighting.

In the final analysis, his teammates are not good enough. Originally, Kaka hoped to use this game to prove that he can overthrow a team even by himself.But now he is not the same as he was in 07, and Real Madrid is not the same as Real Madrid two years ago.

Every time Kaka was about to speed up and break through, the Spaniard in front of him would always stand in front of him ahead of time, forcing him to slow down.After he slowed down, Real Madrid's defense had completed the siege, forcing them to enter a positional battle.

Although his passing ability is good, but what he is best at is the long-distance attack and the last pass. His style is wide opening and closing, and the embroidery needle painting is Gago's style.

There are four kings in today's football, two midfielders and two forwards, but none of them have the style imagination of one person. Ronaldo is strong in explosive power and body, while Messi is strong in small-scale flashes and dribbling.Gago is a traditional organizational midfielder but has the scoring ability of a forward. Kaka is an unstoppable combination of man and ball after opening up and speeding up.

Preventing AC Milan from counterattacking and forcing them to fight in positions is Schuster's defensive tactics.In the positional battle, Real Madrid started to defend and counterattack. Although there is no long-distance attacking master like Kaka, Real Madrid's three midfielders are all long-distance passing masters, and they can reach AC Milan's half in an instant.

No.705 minutes, Alonso steals the ball and transfers the ball to the left, Sneijder catches the ball and makes a long pass to the front right, Gago stops the ball and makes another pass after throwing off Pirlo.It takes no more than five seconds to play from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball in the penalty area, Silva evaded Zambrotta with a light smash, and then shot from a tight angle.

Fortunately, Dida quickly blocked the near corner this time, and the ball hit him and bounced off the baseline.

Zambrotta made an apologetic gesture to Dida, the poor Italian left-back, who was completely blown away by Silva in this game.In order to be able to grab the main position during the days when Robben was injured, Silva can be said to have shown his [-]% state.

If it weren't for Thiago Silva's constant filling, Zambrotta might be blown out of his pants.

"The future is terrifying!"

While sighing in his heart, Zambrotta gathered all his energy and followed Silva to the front point.

Gago stood at the corner, glanced at the crowd in AC Milan's penalty area, and found that there were no chances, there were people at the front and back, and there were Nesta, an old fritter and Thiago Silva in the middle. The mainstay of the opponent is here.

"This ball is not easy to drive!"

Taking another careful look at the situation inside the restricted area, Gago gave up the idea of ​​driving directly in, and glanced outside the restricted area.It was a good opportunity to see Sneijder without anyone defending him.

"Then try it, Wesley hopes you will not be soft at this time!"

Gago kicked the ball quickly with his right foot to the upper right corner of the penalty area, where there were no AC Milan players.Sneijder adjusted his posture after getting the ball, and without any hesitation, he bombarded the goal with his left foot!
In the entire Real Madrid team, Gago is the first in long-range shots, and Sneijder is the second, but since most of the ball is usually in Gago's hands, there is no chance for him to show.But at the critical moment, Sneijder showed his decisive scene of killing.

The ball turned into a white light and flew towards the lower right corner of the goal. It didn't touch anyone in the penalty area along the way, but Dida was blocked by his own players. When he saw the ball, it was too late.

When the ball hit the net again, Leonardo closed his eyes in pain.
