Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

Keisuke Honda appears in the rib area!

"Honda!"

"His position has changed too!"

Xu Yang's voice tightened.

"He's no longer stuck in the attacking midfield position; he's switching positions with Suso on the right flank!"

Honda didn't stick to the ball after receiving it.

With a gentle flick of the left foot.

It was given directly to Bonaventura, who was making a forward run.

Bonaventura made a diagonal run into the edge of the penalty area.

This draws Torreira's defensive attention.

In that very instant.

A brief gap appeared in the middle lane.

Baka suddenly started!

"Baka!"

"Run behind!"

Honda delivers a lobbed pass!

The ball flew between Skriniar and Silvestre.

Baka inserts diagonally.

The chest stopped.

He had practically stormed into the restricted area!

Viviano roared:

"Seal him off!"

Skriniar turned and chased back.

Sylvester replaced him.

Bacca did not attempt to shoot from outside the penalty area as he did in the first half.

This time he remembered Montella's words.

Rush in!

step.

One more step.

Right side of the penalty area.

Small angle.

Bacca suddenly unleashed a right-footed shot!

boom!

The ball flew close to the grass and towards the far corner!

Viviano reacted extremely quickly.

He lunged sideways!

My fingertip touched it just a little bit!

The ball changes direction.

It grazed the outside of the far post and rolled out of bounds!

"oops!!!"

Xu Yang shouted it out directly.

"That's dangerous!"

He Wei speaks extremely fast:

"AC Milan's first attack of the second half was of extremely high quality!"

"Abate pushes forward, Suso cuts inside, Honda moves into the half-space, Bonaventura makes a forward run to draw the defense away, and finally Bacca attacks the penalty area!"

"This is a completely redesigned attacking strategy after halftime!"

A huge sigh erupted from San Siro.

Then came applause.

The fans can tell.

The team is back.

The corner kick is taken.

Montolivo stands in the corner flag area.

A right-footed curling shot was lobbed into the penalty area.

Zapata flicks it on at the near post!

The ball was headed away by Silvestre.

But the second point!

Kucka is already lurking at the edge of the penalty area.

His chest stopped.

A powerful shot volleyed the ball!

boom!

The ball flew through the crowd like a cannonball.

Viviano's view was blocked.

I could only instinctively turn to the side!

The ball hit Skriniar's shin.

refraction!

The entire audience erupted in screams!

The ball traced a strange arc.

It flew past the left post and went out of bounds!

"Almost again!"

He Wei's voice became noticeably more excited.

"AC Milan's attack has been incredibly fierce lately!"

"They came back in the second half and it was like they were a completely different team!"

Xu Yang also said:

"This is not simply a change in mental state."

"This is a combination of tactics and emotional intensity."

"The full-backs are positioned higher, the midfielders are pushing forward more, Honda and Suso are starting to switch positions frequently, and Bacca is no longer hesitant."

"They are now going to use their home advantage to put Sampdoria back on their heels."

The camera focuses on Keisuke Honda.

He was standing near the midfield.

While panting, he raised his hand to direct Suso to continue pulling inward.

He then made a forward-pressing gesture towards Abate.

The movement was minor.

But they were very determined.

He Wei said:

"We can see that Honda's involvement increased significantly in the second half."

"He does more than just catch and pass the ball."

"He's still constantly directing his teammates on their positions."

"This shows that AC Milan hopes to use him as a focal point to reconnect their attacking play in the frontcourt."

The game continues.

Sampdoria kicks off with a goal kick.

Viviano didn't launch a long ball forward, but instead made a short pass to Silvestre.

AC Milan immediately pressed forward.

Bacca is pressing down on the center-back.

Suso blocked the edge line.

In front of the Honda Catorella.

Bonaventura and Kucka were both mentioned in the front.

Sampdoria was almost pinned down in front of the penalty area.

Silvestre could only pass the ball across to Skriniar.

Skriniar is being pressed by Bacca.

Calmly dunk.

Pass the ball to Torreira.

Torreira has just received the ball.

Honda immediately applied the sticker.

Torreira didn't dare bring too many.

He passed the ball diagonally to B.

B-fee withdraws to support.

This time.

Kuzka still came up.

But it was half a beat slower than the first half.

Because he had just participated in pressing in the attacking third.

The defensive distance is longer.

B. Fee keenly noticed this.

Keep the ball moving.

Spin forward with the outside of your foot.

The ball reached Lin Qi's feet!

"Lin Qi gets the ball!"

He Wei's voice instantly rose.

Romagnoli immediately applied it.

Zapata also provides lateral protection.

But this time...

Their movements were clearly not as composed as in the first half.

Because Milan's overall formation is pushed further forward.

Between the midfield and the defensive line.

The game is no longer as tightly coordinated as it was in the first half.

Lin Qi received the ball with his back to the goal.

A gentle nudge of the shoulder.

There was no forced conversion.

He passed the ball back to Praet, who had made a run into the box.

Praet pressed on.

It was passed to Muriel on the left.

Muriel gets the ball.

I saw that Abate wouldn't come back.

His eyes lit up instantly.

"There's space here with Muriel!"

Xu Yang shouted.

Muriel starts.

Max speed.

Montolivo was coming to cover.

A long dribble.

Charge straight in from the outside!

A gasp rippled through the San Siro stands.

Muriel charged into the left side of the penalty area.

look up.

Cross!

Lin Qi had already charged in from the middle.

B also flanked from behind.

Romagnoli got ahead of Lin Qi.

He fell to the ground and shoved the ball out of bounds!

"So close!"

He Wei sighed.

"Sampdoria's counter-attack was also threatening!"

Xu Yang immediately replied:

"That's the problem."

"AC Milan must commit more players to attack if they want to equalize."

"The full-backs push forward, and the midfielders make runs forward."

"Then there must be a space behind you."

Why were they able to contain Sampdoria in the first half?

"That's because the midfield and defense are pressed very well together."

"But things are different now."

"They're going to attack."

"We need to speed things up."

"We need to win back the score."

"The defense can't be as impenetrable as it was in the first half."

He Wei nodded:

"One gains at the expense of the other."

"AC Milan's attacking threat has increased."

"Sampdoria have more counter-attacking opportunities now."

The competition has entered an extremely dangerous open state.

Milan launched a fierce attack.

Sampdoria is holding firm.

But after each interception.

Sampdoria's counterattacks were like daggers thrust out from the shadows.

not long.

But it is sharp.

...

The time has reached 62 minutes.

He Wei couldn't help but say:

"We originally thought that Sampdoria would completely recover after taking the lead."

"But the second half has been going on for a while now."

"On the contrary, we found that they were retaliating more and more frequently."

Xu Yang said:

"The reason is actually very simple."

"It wasn't Sampdoria that wanted to attack."

"It was AC Milan's formation that pushed them out."

"The harder you press down."

"The more space you leave behind, the more obvious it becomes."

"As long as Sampdoria can make the first pass, players like Lin Qi, Muriel, and Bruno Fernandes will have a chance to make a run."

"Especially Lin Qi."

"We can see that Milan's marking of him is not as tight as it was in the first half."

"It's not that they don't want to keep an eye on it."

"Their attention was diverted by the attack."

Lin Qi stood in the front of the center circle.

His chest rose and fell slightly.

But his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He sensed it himself.

The pressure of the first half, where someone would bump into you at every step.

It is getting weaker.

Zapata will still post it.

Romagnoli will still make predictions.

But they are no longer always in the most comfortable position.

They need to look back at their teammates' attacks.

You need to judge the gaps when the full-backs push forward.

We must be mindful of the area behind our own defense after losing possession.

Their focus.

It is being torn apart little by little.

Lin Qi looked down and adjusted the shin guards.

When I looked up again.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

[Vulnerability identified!]
