In the fifty-seventh minute of the second half of the match between Bayern and AC Milan, Bayern's iron coach Heathfield made a substitution, and Brazil striker Elber, who was physically unfit, was not fit, replaced by Paraguayan teenager Santa Cruz.
Bayern's switch also led AC Milan players to mistakenly believe that Bayern could not open the situation in a positional fight, so they had to replace high midfielders to attack.
Having said that, AC Mulan's two wings also paid special attention to Salihamidzic and Schweinsteiger's cross. The rhythm of the game of both teams today was not too fast, everyone slowed down and competed with tactics and brains.
AC Milan's response was indeed very quick, Schweinsteiger's pigs on the left and Sali Hamidzic on the right were also under pressure from AC Milan's regional man-to-man defence and could not take a step forward...
“Bayern have strengthened their attack now, but the front line of AC Milan is very solid. Who will stand to break the deadlock for Bayern?” Derek, a commentator on German satellite TV, also said.
...
On the pitch, shortly after Santa Cruz played, he received a pass from Leon. "This high "center" had no intention of running into the penalty area. He stood like a lighthouse. Position outside the penalty area to light up Bayern's attacking route...
Initially, Gattuso, the butcher in midfield, was ready to snatch the ball from the feet of Santa Cruz. After all, high-bodied players generally don't move too fast, but after one take, Gattuso knew I was wrong.
I saw Santa Cruz come back to protect the ball, when Gattuso grabbed it, Santa Cruz suddenly turned around deftly and left Gattuso behind his head!
High and technical! This guy is not a striker, the AC Milan star! Leon glanced at Hargreaves with a smile, the latter nodded and then began to retreat, while Leon started moving forward.
After passing through Gattuso, Santa Cruz turned to the left and to the right looking for a connecting point.At this time, Leon's insertion made Santa Cruz choose to return the ball to him, who had just been thrown by Santa Cruz.Gattuso also redeemed Leon. ..
Leon smiles at the butcher in midfield, and then passes the ball to Santa Cruz, who is already moving forward!
Roque Santa Cruz stopped the ball with his chest outside AC Milan's big penalty box. AC Milan centre-back Nesta did not dare to neglect to move forward to mark. Right now, Santa Cruz is suddenly sending a breakthrough ball with an incredible imagination!
Peru striker Pizarro had been waiting for a long time in the penalty area, after he stopped the ball between Maldini, he immediately fired a cold shot!
Healthy-! AC Milan's backline was struck with cold sweat. Lucky Dida this time showed the strength of his teacher. He opened his long arms to drive the ball from the bottom line.
At the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Bayern fans also praised Bayern's attack, it's just a La Liga team attack!
When did Germany start playing ground cooperation instead of air strikes? AC Milan players now know that Santa Cruz was not replaced by Bayern to play headers, he is over 1.9 meters tall and has excellent foot skills!
Bayern had a corner on the frontcourt, and centre-backs Link and Robert Kovac also stormed into the AC Milan penalty area to attack.
The backline of AC Milan also sounds the air defense alarm Link, Robert Kovac and Santa Cruz are all high, Pizarro is very strong, and has good jumping ability, so AC Milan is also ready to fight... …
Leon came to take a corner.Two free-kick opportunities in the first half made AC Milan suffered greatly, especially the second kick directly into the goal, which made Dida's face embarrassed...
Now for the corner and dead ball Leon, AC Milan did not dare to be rash in the slightest.
"Rare chances, in this deadlock, dead balls are a good opportunity to score goals" Derek said.
Leon looked up for a moment, and then he chose to do a corner kick to the front point! High centre-back Link grabbed the first point, but unfortunately he made the top of the ball a little higher...
AC Milan is in danger!
“It looks like Bayern still have the advantage in balls at altitude!” Derek also analyzed.
...
On the field, the game became increasingly deadlocked. AC Milan threatened Bayern's defence with a counter-attack. Thirty minutes had passed in the second half, and Bayern had already received three yellow cards.
They used offense and offside tactics to prevent AC Milan's counter-attacks as much as possible, and Bayern firmly pressed AC Milan to play after AC Milan equalised the score, they beat AC Milan back.
In such a top-level team game, it is difficult to counter-attack.Unless Bayern actively choose to step back and counter-attack as in the first half, in general, the visitors are more stable.
Italian football is rarely played very uncontrollably, they pay attention to tactics and like to use their brains to win.
Therefore, Bayern must be calmer than AC Milan. Leon was always looking for opportunities. His continued insertion also put a lot of pressure on the AC Milan defence, especially now that Santa Cruz has returned to answer for his inclusion. On, so he and Santa Cruz are often two guys who can join forces to open up the AC Milan midfield defense.
Gattuso is not a god, and his current consciousness has yet to reach the top of the 2006 World Cup. It was hard for Gattuso to watch Leon and Santa Cruz alone.
Not to mention Pirlo, defense is not his strength. He is a player who uses his brain to play the ball. He did not take the initiative to snatch, but chose the position of the card... So ahead of Bayern's intelligent South American frontcourt combination, Pirlo is also a bit passive.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Bayern again got the chance to set the ball on the frontcourt, a Santa Cruz breakthrough that created Pirlo's offense.
The AC Milan players thought that the fall of Santa Cruz was too fake, so they protested, but the referee rejected their protest.
In fact, the AC Milan players protested because of Leon's high set-piece quality!
In this stalemate, what if Leon Weir scored a free kick?
The ball was almost exactly the same as Leon's goal in the first half, and Bayern fans on site once again teamed up with Leon to create a mirror sound of air defense...
Just this time the AC Milan players aligned the human wall a little higher after the final lesson, Nesta and Maldini both climbed up the human wall.
Shevchenko also again stood between the human walls, and Dida's position was also far behind...
“So afraid I hit the goal directly?” The corner of Leon's mouth was slightly raised. He looked at the situation in the penalty area. It seems that AC Milan players thought Santa Cruz was unlikely to head the ball.
Well, true too, Santa Cruz has not had a header since his debut in the second half.Maybe the AC Milan players think that Roque is a player with excellent foot skills but an average header! Does Cafu Mark Santa Cruz?
As Leon observed the situation, the referee also blew his whistle.
One step, two steps, three steps! Just when everyone thought that Leon would go straight to the goal like in the first half, by the time the walls of Milan lined up with all his strength, Leon kicked the ball and drew a beautiful Lei-style bow!
It's fitting!
Air strike? This was really an air strike this time!
Santa Cruz watches Leon's bait. The last two goals in the Bundesliga gave Santa Cruz confidence. Dida stood at the back, and Leon made a penalty. That position makes him uncomfortable. If he is in front, he can choose to attack, but if he is behind, if the attack cannot reach the ball, then he will empty the goal behind him!
Dida hesitates. Just when he hesitated, the ball had already reached the interior of AC Milan. This cross is so beautiful!
The ball almost hit Santa Cruz's head!
Roque Santa Cruz, the Paraguayan genius jumps high, then shakes his head and strikes the goal! He urged Brazil captain Cafu! Gosh, Cafu's takeoff height is a dozen centimeters shorter than him!
At this moment, Santa Cruz was quite the air tyrant in the forbidden area!
Dida failed to react in time, and a Santa Cruz header bounced into the net!
Two on one! Bayern took the lead again with ten minutes left, this time with the ball dead! In Leonville's cross, Santa Cruz dominantly shook his head and attacked the goal!
The relationship between two handsome men in Bavaria!
In a game where both sides seemed a little conservative and too stable, two set-pieces by Leon Weir almost determined the trend of the game!
Once was a straight break, and once he made the perfect cross!
After scoring, Santa Cruz raced to Leonville while enjoying the cheers of the fans.The two handsome South American men hugged tightly at the moment!
On the sidelines, Bayern coach Heathfield also raised his hand and shouted! This is too critical, this goal is too critical.
The backline of AC Milan may be regretting why not let one of Nesta or Maldini escort Santa Cruz, They only saw the foot-smooth prowess of Santa Cruz, but they forgot this tall and handsome guy. Header power!
"Great! Just incredible! This is Mr. Leon Weir's worth for 40 million pounds! Not only does he have excellent scheduling and organization skills, but he also has excellent dead ball skills! When the team can't open the situation, it's Leon Weir who decides the game!" Derek, a German satellite TV commentator, said excitedly.
Now, the parallel import label on Leon's head should be able to completely tear. Oh, no, we have to wait for "Munich Sports Daily" reporter Lambert to tear it up himself!
After Bayern scored, Leon and his team-mates celebrated together and looked for opportunities to unite them: "AC Milan will attack next, they will not accept defeat willingly, he said, we have to do our best.The ball is under your feet, and if you can't hold the ball, you'll kick the ball forward... In short, it's time to test our defenses."
Now the teammates also followed Leon's words Who told this kid to guess so accurately every time?
After Bayern took the lead again, AC Milan's counter-attack looked a little anxious, and they couldn't help but be anxious. Currently, Pirlo was a little immature, and Ruicosta was also slightly humiliated by Hargreaves and Leon. Shevchenko and Inzaghi constantly threatened Bayern's backline. However, the Bayern players who have taken the decision have always been able to defuse the attack of AC Milan.
Leonwell continued to cheer his teammates with applause. Now is not the time to compare brains and tactics, or the time to compare determination...
The Bundesliga train shows its incredible energy. In front of the mighty AC Milan, Bayern continued to hold out until the last moment, and Leon's outstanding performance today was not in vain!
"Congratulations to Bayern Munich, they won their first European win of the season, they beat the mighty AC Milan at home, the best player in the game is definitely a Bayern No player. 25 Leon Weir, free kick Direct goal and assist from free kick. The Milanese will surely be upset that they underestimated Leon Weir, the 19-year-old Argentine golden boy who drives the Bayern Munich Bundesliga car!"
As soon as the game ended, Leon also received a standing ovation from Bayern supporters.
Great midfielder, amazing organizer, amazing tuner! Well, this must be good!
