Chapter 137 Blue Eagle Lazio (4K)(2/2)
The only thing you need to worry about is the configuration of the midfielders.
The team's defensive midfielder is Roma's De Rossi. He is one of the best defensive midfielders in Italy at the moment, and his current form is very good.
As for the two midfielders, it will be up to those who perform well on the training field to compete.
At the same time, Italy also ended its performance in the European Cup qualifiers. As for the European Cup group draw, it will start in December.
At this stage, international players like Li Feng need to seize the time to rest and strive to return their physical fitness to the best state as soon as possible.
In the 8th round of Serie A, Gattuso chose to leave Li Feng on the bench.
After all, after two consecutive national team games, Li Feng's physical fitness will naturally not be in the best condition. Instead of letting him get on the bus first and be consumed, it is better to let him become a substitute.
This arrangement worked.
Neither side scored a goal in the first half.
Then in the second half, the Turin team took the lead.
Relying on Romagnoli's mistake, Turin forward Belotti assisted his teammate to score.
Turin, playing at home, took the lead.
In the following time, AC Milan tried several waves of attacks, but ultimately failed to score a goal.
It wasn't until Li Feng came on the field in the 80th minute of the game that AC Milan's offense became more threatening.
Finally, before the end of the game, Li Feng received a pass from Montolivo and scored the winning goal.
The match ended at 1-1. This was Li Feng’s seventh goal in the league.
Li Feng's offensive performance gave Gattuso more ideas.
As the league continues, AC Milan's results have not fluctuated much.
Before returning to home for the 9th round of the league, AC Milan won another victory in the Champions League, which also allowed them to score 9 points. They are currently 3 points ahead of Chelsea. The group appearance is in good form.
Li Feng also scored 1 goal, which brought his number of goals in the Champions League to 6, temporarily leading other teams.
Back in Serie A, AC Milan continued their good momentum and once again defeated Sassuolo 2-1 at home.
Although the result was good, the team's defense put Gattuso under pressure.
Facing a mid-tier team like Sassuolo, if AC Milan can't keep a clean sheet, something will happen sooner or later in the Champions League!
In order to find a defense line that satisfied him, Gattuso began "scientific research".
In the 10th round of the league, AC Milan defeated visiting Chievo by 1 goal at home.
Li Feng failed to score a goal or assist in this game. This is the first time he has played in a game this season!
At present, almost one-third of the Serie A season has passed.
In terms of personal data, Li Feng contributed 8 goals and 5 assists in the league, 6 goals in the Champions League main game, and 4 goals and 1 assist in the Champions League play-offs.
As of the end of October in the new season, Li Feng has scored a total of 18 goals and also provided 6 assists.
AC Milan also achieved good results with 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, supported by Li Feng's offensive firepower.
However, there is another point that needs special attention. They have not encountered many strong enemies yet.
Lazio in the next 11th round and Juventus in the 13th round are both targets that AC Milan needs to grab points for.
"Stefano, what do you think about facing them next?"
Listening to the assistant's questions, Stefano Pioli showed a hint of helplessness on his face.
Milinkovic-Savic was robbed, which forced them to look for a replacement, but the effect didn't seem to be that good.
This confrontation can be considered a revenge for myself!
"Let's play defensive counterattack!"
To fight against each other is to seek death.
When facing a strong enemy, the best defense is to defend and counterattack. As long as you can steal one, doesn't it mean you have the initiative?
And according to the arrangement of AC Milan's current players, they seem to be pursuing a 433 formation.
Nigel de Jong does not intend to renew his contract, which has affected Gattuso's formation.
"Okay, if anything happens, I'll be the one to take care of it!"
Pioli comforted his assistants that judging from the current situation, his coaching position is relatively stable.
Even if you lose the game, you haven't reached the stage of being fired yet.
In the city of Milan, Li Feng, who was staying at home, was kicked out of the house by Li's mother.
Li Feng felt deeply helpless about his mother's behavior.
What's wrong with staying at home and playing games?
Is it really good to go out and spend money?
With this attitude, Li Feng drove to the training base.
If you are not at home, then come to the club to "roll the iron". At least it doesn't cost money, and you can also earn money!
"Huh? Is there anyone in the gym now?"
Gattuso, who was still working overtime at the base, noticed someone in the gym, which surprised him.
It is currently a short holiday for the players. According to common sense, no players will appear here.
However, Gattuso saw Li Feng through the glass on the door.
This surprised him slightly.
From the head coach's point of view, it is a good thing that someone is practicing extra, because it means that the players want to improve.
But this is not a good thing. Players are human and need to rest!
