Chapter 407 Buffon Says NO



Chapter 407 Buffon Says NO
"Barça often play from the back.

Liu Jianhong interjected.

"Hey, Jianhong is right. Barcelona's style is to pass the ball more from the backcourt, so their possession time will be longer. But as for Arsenal, their possession of the ball is basically in the frontcourt. Even when they are in the backcourt, they don't pour the ball very much, and quickly send the ball to the frontcourt with three or two kicks."

"In the area between 30 and 40 meters in front of Milan's penalty area, it is the place where Arsenal players pass and hold the ball the most."

Through careful observation, Zhang Lu came to such a conclusion.

"Director Zhang, can it be said that Arsenal's ball possession is more aggressive than Barcelona's, and their style is more offensive?"

Liu Jianhong asked a question.

"That's right. The closer the football is to the opponent's penalty area, the more pressure is put on the opponent, and the overall style of the team will of course be more attacking."

"Therefore, in the first half of the game, we can see that Arsenal's offense is very gorgeous. Whether it is a short pass or a personal breakthrough, they have done a very beautiful job, and they are very daring to invest in the offense."

Zhang Lu affirmed Liu Jianhong's statement, and then he changed the topic and added.

"However, although this style of football is gorgeous and good-looking, there are also risks. For example, because the offensive players invest more, it will inevitably lead to emptiness in the defense. If Milan can seize the gaps in Arsenal's defense and play high-quality quick counterattacks, then Arsenal's defense will face great pressure."

Zhang Lu, the emperor who knows the ball, came to a conclusion through careful analysis.

"This is like the Seven Injuries Fist in Jin Yong's novels, killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself seven hundred, haha!"

Liu Jianhong thought of a metaphor and laughed contentedly.

"Hey, let's put it this way. Offense and defense are like bear's paw and shark's fin. It is impossible to get them at the same time. Strengthening one aspect will inevitably weaken the other. Arsenal's style of play is good-looking, but it is also very risky. Once Milan catches the flaw, their defensive flaws may kill them."

The emperor who knows the ball continued to show off.

"Maybe just like last season, the two teams will play a big score again?"

Liu Jianhong guessed with great interest.

That season, AC Milan beat Arsenal 4-0 at home, but Arsenal returned home and played AC Milan 4-0.In the two rounds, the two teams scored a total of 8 goals.

For Gunners fans, the final victory made them feel bitter.

As for Milan fans, they may not be satisfied with the result of conceding four goals in a row in the away game.

However, for football commentators and neutral fans, such a goal battle is still very exciting.

Liu Jianhong certainly expects that this game will also be a game with a lot of goals.

"Well, hey, it's hard to say, there should be such a possibility. Milan is leaving Thiago. After Silva, the quality of their defense has dropped significantly. Whether they can withstand Arsenal's mad attack is a problem. And Arsenal's defense is not very strong. If Milan catches the opportunity to counterattack, they may concede a goal."

"If we continue to play according to the current form of the game, there will be goals in this game sooner or later. Whether there will be a big score, this can also be expected. Now, we will know which team will score the goal."

Zhang Lu knocked on the table and commented with a smile.

"Whoever scores the goal first will take the initiative first!"

Liu Jianhong came to a conclusion.

"...Let's take a look at this ball first."

"Oops! Walcott didn't stop the ball well, it was a little far from the body."

"Broken! Nocerino made a very decisive tackle. He broke the ball at Wilshere's feet. AC Milan took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack!"

"Nocellino made a long pass and he passed the ball to Boateng. Boateng dribbled the ball forward at high speed and quickly brought the ball near the Arsenal penalty area."

"3 to 3 in the frontcourt, a good opportunity for AC Milan!"

Since the Arsenal players were aggressively pressing the offense just now, they now have very few defensive players in the backcourt, only Debusch, Koscielny and Vermaelen.

Facing AC Milan's three offensive players Boateng, Pato and Robinho, Arsenal's defensive strength is very weak.

Although the numbers are equal, the offensive players take the initiative in possession of the ball, while the defensive side can only be passive and exhausted. Once the judgment is wrong, it will give the opponent more chances to play less.

This is AC Milan's best chance to counterattack since the opening of the first half!
"Boaten, Boateng, he passed the ball to Robinho's feet, and he continued to accelerate forward."

"Good goal! Robinho passed the ball through the crotch of the Arsenal defender! He didn't stop the ball, and passed the ball directly to Boateng. Beautiful one-two!"

"Boaten takes the ball into the box!"

"Pass the ball! Boateng fell to the ground and passed the ball. The football flew from the right side of the penalty area to the left side."

"Good shot! Pato has already responded!"

"good chance!"

Pato rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, using his speed to forcibly surpass Sania by half a body.Sagna wanted to reach out to pull him, but because he was already in the penalty area, he had to give up.

Facing the ball and rushing forward, at the last moment, Pato did not forget to glance at Buffon's position.

For this ball, Buffon did not attack, but chose to bow his waist and stand in the near corner of the goal.

In the middle of the penalty area, Robinho is also advancing at high speed.If Buffon hastily strikes and Pato knocks the ball across the middle, it will give Robinho a chance to push the empty goal.

Despite the critical situation, Buffon still did not panic.

He calmly blocked the near corner of the goal, carefully observed Pato's every move, trying to judge his next attempt from the opponent's detailed movements.

Seeing that the near corner was blocked, Pato subconsciously glanced at the direction of the far corner of the goal.

Facing a high-level goalkeeper like Buffon, it is very difficult to hit the near corner with great force when he basically seals the near corner.Moreover, vigorous bursting is not Pato's specialty.

After thinking for a while, Pato quickly came to a conclusion.Facing the flying football, he stopped the ball for a while, adjusted a little, and immediately shot with his left foot.

Bang!
The football immediately changed direction and flew towards the Arsenal goal.

"Shoot!"

call!
The football roared and rushed towards the goal at an extremely fast speed, direction: the far corner!

It really is the far corner!
"Dangerous!...Ooooh! Beautiful! Beautiful! So beautiful! Buffon made a contribution, he blocked Pato's shot!"

At the moment Pato shot, Buffon immediately judged the opponent's intention through some detailed movements, and the center of gravity of his body quickly shifted to the left, and at the same time he quickly moved two small steps horizontally.

When the football flew out, Buffon jumped almost at the same time.

He soars over the goal line, arms outstretched high, protecting the goal behind his body.

When the football flew to the far corner of the goal and was close to the goal line, Buffon just flew there.He raised his arm and poked hard with his fingertips, changing the flight trajectory of the football and poking it out of the goal!

"It was a world-class save! Buffon's reaction was so fast!"

Liu Jianhong exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes. Pato's shot is not unwise. He hit a far corner of the goal. The choice of angle and power is very good. If you change to a goalkeeper who is worse, the goal may be scored. Only an excellent goalkeeper like Buffon can save Pato, who is bound to score."

Zhang Lu's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement.

Hey!
San Siro stadium lamented!
The Milan fans shook their heads and exclaimed.At the moment Pato shot, their hearts suddenly tightened, nervously waiting for the moment when the football hit the net.

However, Buffon's bravery disappointed them.

The hanging heart failed to return to its original place, and could only float lightly in mid-air. That feeling was simply too uncomfortable.

"Damn it, why didn't he pass it on to Robinho!"

Some fans began to complain. They thought that since Pato missed the goal, he should not choose to shoot, but pass the ball to Robinho, who is in a better position.

On the court, Robinho also stared at Pato angrily, pointing his finger in front of himself, as if he was blaming Pato for not passing the ball.

Pato ignored the opponent's accusations.With his head down, he walked towards the corner flag dejectedly, ready to take a corner kick.

As a shooter, when Pato has a chance to score, he never thinks of passing the ball.Besides, even if it is a pass, Robinho may not receive the ball.

Of course, this is Pato's idea, and it doesn't mean that Robinho will think the same way.

Due to missing an excellent opportunity, there seemed to be some disagreements among the Milan players, and there were some complaints about each other.

"here you go!"

"Great save!"

Vermaelen walked up to Buffon, stretched out his arms and pulled him up from the lawn.Koscielny also came over, smacked Buffon's chest lightly, and hugged him tightly.

Buffon smiled.

Buffon is no stranger to the shooting habits of several strikers in AC Milan.When he was in Serie A, he had dealt with them. As the best goalkeeper in this country, his familiarity with Serie A made Buffon full of confidence.

Before the game, he carefully watched the video of Pato and Robinho's game.In a situation like just now, what Pato made was just his most common shot, and it was impossible to even think about deceiving Buffon.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder; if you can shoot, I can block the shot!
When guarding the goal, Buffon is very confident.

As the team's last barrier, Buffon also knows that his defensive task will be heavy today.But that's what a goalkeeper does.

For the team's victory, Buffon will carry on the guardianship to the end!
