In the AC Milan dressing room, Ancelotti first affirmed the team's defense, and then praised the lucky Inzaghi, because without Inzaghi's active forward movement in this goal, football would not have changed. direction, it is even more unlikely for things to be refracted into the net.
Pirlo and Inzaghi, who caused the goal, looked at each other, smiled, and gave each other a thumbs up to encourage each other.
Many players in the locker room began to feel uneasy.
In such an important Champions League final, even luck was on their side.
It seems that this time the championship is close to ten.
Thinking that Ai Luo's two consecutive shots were rejected by the goal post, I felt even more happy.
Regarding the way of playing in the second half, Ancelotti specifically told Kaká to take the ball more and break through.
If there is a chance, he must bravely cut in and shoot, because his performance in this first half was not ideal.
The performance of the two final rounds was completely two people.
Of course, Inzaghi is also an important part of the counterattack.
His awareness, movement, and ability to grasp the goal are important parts of AC Milan's goal to expand the score.
For the trust of coach Ancelotti, Kaka and Inzaghi nodded at him at the same time.
At the same time, the commentators from various countries in the live studio of the Athens Olympic Stadium also made a summary of the first half of the game.
From the data analysis of the entire first half, Valencia took the full initiative, but The leader is AC Milan, which is really hard to figure out even if you break your head.
But according to the popular saying: "AC Milan's luck is simply too incredible."
The second half of the game restarted after a fifteen-minute break.
Before the game started, the camera specially gave Aiello a close-up of his face.
He is the star of the team and often steps forward when the team is in crisis. , and now Valencia just needs someone to step forward to equalize the score on the field.
The meaning of this shot is self-evident.
Hyde looked at Aiello in the camera.
His jersey had been tucked into his pants.
He looked very energetic, so his mood also became better.
As long as Aiello's mental state is not a problem, then he will definitely score a goal.
No problem: "The second half of the game is about to begin.
I believe that Ai will definitely help the team equalize the score in the second half, and then overtake the score, leading our team to win the first Champions League trophy in history and set foot on the top of Europe."
The Valencia fans sitting in front of the TV also clenched their fists subconsciously, looked at Aiello in the camera and murmured: "It's up to you, Ai" beep The second half of the game started after a whistle from referee Herbert Vandel.
At this moment, the Valencia fans in the stands sang their team song, the Valencia Hymn, hoping that their singing could drive the players on the field to equalize the score as soon as possible and give them peace of mind.
But what I didn't expect was that AC Milan changed its slow-paced play in the first half.
After taking control of the football, it used Pirlo's long pass accuracy to hit Valencia's defensive right side.
Because Moretti is the one who defends this path.
He was criticized for his slow turning speed when he was in Serie A.
In the second half, AC Milan wanted to take advantage of his slow turning speed to let Kaka attack his path. .
Fortunately, Albiol's replacement was timely, and a flying tackle shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
AC Milan's attack also attracted Valencia's defensive attention, making Moretti reluctant to step forward and participate in the attack.
He was afraid of being beaten behind again.
After all, it is very dangerous to always rely on the central defender to cover the defense.
The first five minutes of the second half flew by.
Judging from the game situation, Valencia had a tendency to become more and more anxious as they played.
In their minds, this was the second half of the final.
Every second that passed, they lost one.
There is a chance to equalize the score in seconds, so don't rush.
The anxiety of the players on the field also slowly infected Aiello.
Starting in the 6th minute of the second half, he frequently took the ball and wanted to create murderous opportunities.
However, as a traditional Italian team, AC Milan's defense has been integrated into them.
In his blood, even if Ancelotti doesn't make arrangements, the players on the field know how to adjust their defensive methods.

Whenever Valencia switches from defense to offense, AC Milan's defenders return very promptly, especially when the football is passed to Aiello's feet.
AC Milan's 7-man defensive system has basically been deployed.
By the time Aiello Breaking through with the ball, the space is already very small.
This also indirectly caused Ai Luo to become more anxious.
If Valencia now wants to break AC Milan's intensive defense, it still needs to find AC Milan's defensive loopholes through patient passing.
But at this time, the Valencia players no longer have this patience.
The sooner they deal with the Italian team, the better.
The better it is to score a goal, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be to oneself.
Three minutes later, Albiol headed Maldini's clearance ball back to the half-court at the midfield arc.
Baraja stopped the ball with his chest and at the same time moved his body to the left, knocking Kaká who wanted to step forward to steal.
He was stuck behind him, and then passed the ball to the team's playmaker Alberda with his right foot.
However, due to being grabbed tightly by Kaká, Baraja did not control the power of the pass well and was slightly forward.
So Albelda needs to move forward to chase the ball.
Pirlo, who had already retreated to the 30-meter area, saw the football rolling in his direction, and suddenly the possibility of a quick counterattack sprouted in his mind.
He stepped forward and wanted to directly launch a long pass to counterattack.
Alberda saw Pirlo trying to grab the ball, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
So when he was still one meter away from the football, he took a big step forward with his right foot, pulled the ball back, and completed a 180-degree turn with his body.
He turned around and stuck Pirlo behind him, and Pirlo couldn't hold back the momentum of his body and bumped into Albelda. beep The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Pirlo had committed a collision and awarded Valencia a direct free kick about 35 meters away from the goal.
Pirlo did not defend himself, he just shrugged, bent down and stretched out his right hand to pull up Albelda who was knocked down by him, but he found that the other party was covering his right thigh, just about to say hello.
Yes, Albelda followed his right hand and stood up, but there was a leg-pressing movement after standing up.
Pirlo didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, injuries caused by collisions are always a little painful.
Everyone thought so and didn't care.
But a minute later, when Alberda ran to the wing to cooperate with Aiello in passing, his forward body suddenly stagnated, and then stopped in place.
Aiello was still at a loss when he got the ball.
After Albelda persisted for two or three seconds, he sat on the ground.
Aiello discovered something was wrong.
Albelda seemed to be covering his right thigh just now.
Before that, he missed the Champions League semifinals due to a thigh strain.
The second round of the game, this He quickly kicked the ball out of the sideline and then made a gesture towards the sideline to indicate that the team doctor was coming on.
Albelda covered his right thigh with the palm of his right hand, and beat the turf unwillingly with his left hand.
He knew that he could no longer keep fighting and missed the Champions League final.
Sure enough, after two minutes of simple diagnosis, Hernandez helplessly made a gesture to Flores indicating that he needed to be replaced.
Flores raised his head and sighed.
Now that the team is lagging behind, the captain has relapsed from an old injury.
It is really difficult to continue this game.
You must know that the last game was played without Albelda.
Very passive.
"Call Carlos over," Flores said softly to Paul, the assistant next to him.
One minute later, Valencia made the first passive substitution adjustment.
Alberda came off and Marchena, who returned from the ban, came on.
With the support of team doctor Hernandez, Albelda personally handed the captain's armband to Baraja's hand.
When he turned around, the stadium director captured Albelda's disappointed expression.
Countless Valencia fans standing in the stands or in front of the TV silently applauded Albelda at this moment, and some fans who had poor tear control even shed tears.
Six years of waiting, let them know how difficult it is to participate in a Champions League final "The biggest enemy of professional players is injury, because you never know when it will come, sometimes in insignificant games, sometimes like David Alber in the Champions League final.

Da, I believe that at this moment, he is very disappointed with himself, but I believe that the players on the field will help him complete the task of this game."
Huang Jianxiang looked at Albelda limping towards the bench and felt inspired.
Albelda's dismissal also caused Valencia's formation to change, from 433 to 442.
More appropriately, it should be 4312.
Baraja and Marchena are responsible for sweeping the center.
Ballack took over Albelda's job and was responsible for controlling the team's offensive and defensive rhythm, while David Silva was responsible for organizing the frontcourt offense.
At the same time as the substitutions were made, the camera also showed the Valencia players on the court.
It stayed on Aiello's face for nearly three seconds.
A hint of helplessness was clearly visible in his expression. .
No one on the court knows better than Aiello what will happen to the team's offense without Albelda.
The second leg of the semi-final against Liverpool is the best answer.
Therefore, Albelda's injury will undoubtedly make things worse for Valencia, which is still one goal behind.
At this moment, no one in the Valencia team noticed that Ancelotti took advantage of the substitution and made a gesture towards Pirlo, raising the index and middle fingers of his right hand and pushing from back to front with his left hand, which meant to let the team play.
Preparation plan No. 2.
Marchena missed four key Champions League knockout games, and now suddenly appears in the Champions League final, which will definitely have an impact.
This is what Ancelotti wants to seize
