But no matter how strong the defense is, it will have its own weaknesses.

Costacurta Not to mention, he doesn't turn around very fast, and he is a top wingman, not a defensive commander himself. Baresi Milan tried to correct him after he retired, but failed.

Tassotti is good both offensively and defensively, but after observation Dejan Lu found that he was not positioned quickly enough.

In other words, if you go up and you can't come down, it may be because you don't participate in the attack many times or other people fill the position in time, so this problem is not so obvious.

Generally speaking, the two defenders on the right side of Milan who he faced must be weaker than Baresi and Paolo Maldini.

Is there anything else to say? Just hit this side specifically.

It's useless to go straight behind Costacurta like B. Fernandes. The weakness of this thing's turning around depends on your ability to target the target teammate. Just fill in some positions. Tassotti and Baresi are both top-notch.

Then the through ball has no other effect except delivering the ball.

"Leo."

"Dejan, what's wrong?"

Attilio·Lombardo trotted over and asked.

"You can attack their defense line on the left side later, wear down those two guys, and I'll come back later." Dejan Lu said.

"No problem!"

Lombardo smiled and gave a thumbs up.

No one wants to do this kind of blue-collar work, but who can do it?

He didn't think it was shameful to attack Dejan Lu. Instead, he felt that he was Caniggia of Diego Maradona, or Robin Hood's partner.

The two walked back together, and Milan was preparing for a free kick in the backcourt.

Pezzotti walked to the sidelines and said, "Dejan is going to stay in the middle. Let's cover the right side by the way."

"I don't know. I am only responsible for the tactics before the opening. After the opening, the best player has the final say." Boskov said with a smile on his face.

When coaching Italy, he still attaches great importance to tactical discipline.

But after all, it's about winning.

Winning is the best tactical discipline. Should the players be nailed to the spot just for the ridiculous coach's prestige?

The coach is not afraid of players being flexible in their movements, but he is afraid that if you don't understand your players' flexible movements, you will become a troublemaker.

Milan found little chance after kick-off, and several defenders took the ball and returned to the backcourt.

The opponent is in the half, so it would be difficult for anyone to score.

You can only pull the opponent's formation first.

Vialli was very positive. He was still holding his breath after being knocked down by Costacurta, so he went straight to Costacurta.

Costacurta quickly struck when he saw this.

Vialli chased after him again, but Tassotti didn't pass the ball. He pulled the ball and turned around to avoid Vialli's foot, then turned around again before knocking across the ball.

It was a bit dangerous for the defender to make such an action, but the effect of pulling the formation was first-rate, and Roberto Mancini and Lombardo rushed forward directly.

Costacurta quickly passed the ball forward. Rijkaard found an opportunity on the right after taking the ball. He quickly kicked Ancelotti. Ancelotti dribbled the ball forward a few meters and tried to cut in. Lanna blocked it. He took advantage of the situation and kicked the ball back.

Rijkaard, who caught the ball, found Ancelotti again with a through ball. Carboni immediately fell to the ground to tackle the ball. Ancelotti deftly jumped up and successfully passed the ball to Donadoni.

Donadoni sent a long pass, and the ball flew past the defensive player to the front point. Van Basten sent the ball into the goal with an overhead hook in the penalty area.

"Marco!!!"

Cruyff shouted passionately, "Marco·Van Basten!!!"

"Our best player scored the best goal, and I knew he was the best striker and could be relied upon at critical moments!"

"This is a typical team attack. Our team showed good coordination. Van Basten used his own skills to successfully send the ball into the goal in front of several defensive players. If we want to defend the honor of Milan City, we still have to rely on Rossoneri!"

"If we win in the end, then Marco·Van Basten is the best player!!!"

The Rossoneris in the away stands were quite excited.

This game is not a derby, but it is more important than a derby.

The mortal enemy in the same city fell at the feet of Sampdoria twice in a row. If they could have the last laugh, it would be like trampling on Inter Milan's feet.

Of course, it also includes the pair of enemies Napoli and Juventus.

"What to do, Dejan?"

Lombardo asked.

"It's okay to kick normally."

Dejan Lu said.

AC Milan is really strong.

But players are also human beings. During the opening period, they had two defensive problems. They could equalize if they were caught by Dejan the Football King later.

After hearing what Dejan Lu said, Lombardo felt relieved immediately.

It's not that he's worried about losing.

The main concern is that the coach will think that the change of position caused the ball to be conceded.

But Dejan Lu said so, so the coach probably doesn't have any objections.

Roberto Mancini knocked the ball to Vialli, and Vialli passed it back immediately.

AC Milan was very cautious after kick-off, and it was obvious that they took this game seriously.

Rivera in the stands nodded with great satisfaction and said, "The children today are in good spirits and have a strong desire to fight. There should be a satisfactory result."

"Don't speak too soon, Mr. Prime Minister." Riva joked.

Rivera and Romano Prodi have become very close recently, and Prodi intends to run for office.

"Don't be arrogant Gigi, Dejan is great, and his teammates are also good, but I don't think they can find a way in front of this line of defense. Even when we were young, we might not be able to deal with the Milan kids." Rivera said with some pride.

This is the best defense he has ever seen.

Riva didn't speak, just turned his attention to Samp Number Seven on the court.

A few minutes later, AC Milan's corner kick Dejan Lu tried to counterattack with the ball. Before he could run, Paolo Maldini kicked the ball out of the sideline, interrupting the counterattack.

[Kaká] It is difficult to solve when the speed increases, but it requires enough sprint space.

Changing direction at high speed does not require a large amplitude to pass people.

Just let him run a few more meters. I can only say that Paolo Maldini is really decisive.

"Are you okay?"

Paolo Maldini bent down and stretched out his hand to ask.

"It's okay."

Dejan Lu took his hand and stood up and complained, "Your tackle was so accurate and you sent me a bodyguard. I really want to get off the field now. It's so uncomfortable."

"Get out of here. I'll invite you to the nightclub when it's over." Paolo Maldini said with a smile.

Most of the unmarried Italy players are playboys, and Paolo Maldini is no exception.

"You can go to the nightclub. I'll treat you to a drink then to comfort your depressed mind after losing." Dejan Lu smiled and ran forward.

Paolo Maldini was stunned for a second, then immediately shook his head with a smile.

Some people become angry when they say harsh things, and they don't have much confidence at first glance.

Dejan Lu's words were nothing, but Paolo Maldini had to take them seriously.

If a person who can create 4 goals in eight minutes stands in front of you, even if the regular time of the game is over, the result may be changed in the short time of stoppage time.

He quickly ran towards his own half.

Returning to the backcourt, he found that Samp was still organizing. He turned around and reminded, "Be careful Billy, Dejan might find a breakthrough with you."

"Don't worry Paolo, our swan is still ahead. If you want to see me, you must at least get past him first."

Costacurta said with a smile.

This time Pari's pass was seen through and blocked by Rijkaard, who immediately lobbed the ball into Samp's penalty area.

Van Basten successfully resisted offside and stopped the ball with his chest. Fortunately, Pagliuca blocked the ball when he shot with his right foot.

"Asshole..."

Pagliuca threw the ball out and started scolding again, but when he saw Verchowod, he still chose milder words and said, "You can't just let him face the goal so easily."

"I can't do anything about the long pass in the midfield." Verchowod said, "I'll try my best next time."

Pagliuca glanced at Carboni and said nothing.

Midfielder Dossena still looked for Dejan Lu's position immediately when he got the ball, and he immediately passed the ball to the right.

Ancelotti is not here, and Dejan Lu cannot breathe a sigh of relief.

Alberigo Evani This is a player who focuses on defense. He has also played as a defender. He is a fast and versatile player.

Seeing that there was not much space, Dejan Lu chose to pass it back.

As a Samp stick man, he really didn't want to just watch Van Basten perform.

But the more powerful opponents you face, the more peaceful you must be.

Being impatient will only make things worse for the team.

Sacchi nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines, this was the effect he wanted.

Everyone on the team knows his thoughts - overall cooperation and absolute obedience to tactics, and resolutely not relying on the individual performance of geniuses.

Dejan Lu and Lombardo switching positions on the court will never happen to his team.

Even if Donadoni is called the best left winger in Italy history by the media, his team has to partner with Rijkaard in the middle, and the players have no room to choose their position in front of him.

There are always people saying which player on his team is the superstar.

Oh, they know nothing. Every player is just a member of the team, nothing more.

Whether it is Diego Maradona or the recently claimed to be better Dejan Lu, Sacchi doesn't care because he believes that his team football is the strongest.

What's new Football Emperor, now it's not like I can't even get the ball close to the penalty area.

No one can destroy AC Milan's defense line.

"Work harder and get one more!"

When Milan attacked, he reminded from the sidelines.

As long as he was ahead by two, he kept his team at halftime, and an ugly win was better than a gorgeous loss.

He still recognizes Samp's strength, they are very dangerous.

Donadoni once again sent a direct pass. After Rijkaard got the ball, he saw Dejan Lu on the right and rushed over without thinking.

Dejan Lu immediately stepped on the sideline and waited for the opponent to come over.

When Rijkaard arrived in front of him, Dejan Lu immediately moved to the right to give way to the side.

The meaning is obvious, don't go to the middle, go to the side.

This kind of provocation method doesn't work for ordinary players, but they are still willing to give it a try when facing the Dutchman Dejan Lu. Each Dutchman is more proud than the other.

Sure enough, Rijkaard tried to squeeze between him and the sideline as soon as he hit the ball.

Dejan Lu did not stretch his feet in a hurry, but kept stuck in the position, leaving Rijkaard to dribble the ball on the sideline.

Marco·Lanna rushed forward with a sliding shovel. Dejan Lu took the opportunity to get in, not letting Rijkaard turn around at all.

The Dutchman subconsciously protected the ball, but it was still scooped away.

Dejan Lu glanced at the landing point, turned around and ran forward.

Ancelotti was startled. Rijkaard was struggling on the wing for a long time. They were all pressing in to support. At this time, the backcourt was a little empty.

He turned around and chased back without even thinking, even though Dejan Lu hadn't gotten the ball yet.

Pari took the first step to control the ball and sent a through ball immediately. The ball quickly rolled past Ancelotti and passed the center line. Dejan Lu successfully took the ball outside the center circle against Tassotti.

This time he got the ball while running, and his speed immediately increased. AC Milan would not be so easy to disrupt the counterattack again.

After just a few steps, Tassotti realized that he couldn't keep up with Dejan Lu's dribbling speed.

Damn it, only then did he realize that Dejan Lu hadn't run at full strength before.

Tassotti is very decisive, sliding sideways and shoveling.

However, Dejan Lu, who was on guard, easily avoided the ball with his left foot and walked diagonally towards the middle.

Rijkaard is not here, Costacurta rushes to greet him.

Dejan Lu, who was holding the ball, pointed to the left for Lanna to move forward. Before Costacurta could decide whether to go to the wing, he found that Dejan Lu raised his left arm and swung his right foot out.

Bang——

The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.

It was a long shot more than 40 meters away from the goal.

Costacurta subconsciously stretched out his foot to block it, but failed to block it.

The ball flew past his legs and quickly flew into the penalty area. The eyes of the players on both sides continued to move with the ball.

It was too sudden.

What a surprise!

Andre·Pagliuca didn't even move a step when he reacted. The ball hit the post and plunged into the goal right in front of his eyes.

Silence fell.

Even Samp fans didn't expect that their Number Seven would shoot from such a distance.

Sacchi on the sidelines was stunned. His steel defense line was indeed not passed, but isn't it a bit too much for you not to face my defense line? Who the hell shoots just after crossing the halfway line?
