Chapter 734 184: Cobra Positioning, Air Dominator

In just ten minutes, they created two threatening set pieces and a yellow card.

Kaint didn't even have a chance to foul after being overtaken by Izalelt, and luckily, Lam was in position to use a foul to stop Izalelt's advance.

But San Remo is not weak either.

They are no longer what they used to be.

They are now considered a legitimate Serie A team.

AC Milan San Remo may not play against them.

But if San Remo couldn't even beat a full substitute lineup of AC Milan, how could they have defeated teams like the Portuguese Super League, Dutch Super League, Bundesliga, and Inter to reach the UEFA Europa League finals?

After ten minutes, both Sogel and Morici moved their positions back a bit, thus creating an absolute numerical advantage in the midfield.

With their numbers, San Remo controlled the ball possession initiative.

Izalelt's offense is invincible, but AC Milan's defense without Praxedes was not tough.

It was even... a bit less pressured than when facing Inter before.

After some attempts, AC Milan players accepted the result that they couldn't take the ball, transitioning from aggressive pressing to falling back into defense.

Whenever San Remo gained possession, AC Milan players would actively return to the backfield and take their defensive positions.

This made San Remo's ball control and advancement much easier.

In the fifteenth minute, Sogel's shot missed the goal.

In the nineteenth minute, Morici's long-range shot was slightly high.

In the twenty-third minute, Lu Yang cut inside and shot, but the goalkeeper saved it.

In the twenty-fourth minute, Lu Yang easily won the header with his strong physical confrontation ability, but Fernandez's slightly high free-kick sent the ball sailing over the top.

San Remo completely controlled the initiative on the field.

AC Milan's head coach also noticed that San Remo was no longer what it was last year when they met in the Italian Cup final.

Such a San Remo, AC Milan must use the main lineup to defeat.

At this moment, AC Milan's coach was even considering taking Izalelt off.

But when thinking of Talista refusing to be substituted, which brought immense embarrassment to Inter's coach, AC Milan's coach didn't breach his agreement with Izalelt, allowing him to enjoy himself on the field.

In the thirty-sixth minute, San Remo's continuous bombardment finally paid off.

After Lu Yang cut inside, he continuously feinted past players outside the penalty area and finally took a long shot.

Even though AC Milan's substitute goalkeeper saved it, the ever-pacing Bai Zhami in the penalty area was extremely fast, and he scored on the rebound.

One to zero!

San Remo took the lead!

"Oh! The Inter castoff who assisted San Remo in defeating Inter also performed today against their arch-enemy AC Milan, scoring first!"

"Bai Zhami is making Inter regret with his actions!"

"In this year's Italian Cup, Bai Zhami's stats haven't been impressive because early on, it was mostly San Remo's rotation players playing. But in the matches Bai Zhami participated in, he performed quite well."

"AC Milan is somewhat helpless there, San Remo's ball control is stable, Lu Yang and Kaint provide too many passing options for San Remo. Morici's passing and holding skills are also outstanding."

"Falling back to defense is most afraid of long shots and headers. And on San Remo's side, Lu Yang, Morici, and Canyes are all proficient in long shots. Even Lam and Kaint can take a decent long shot."

"Sogel and Lu Yang are also good at headers, and even if AC Milan parks the bus, they can pry open this turtle shell!"

"But the only thing to consider is... if AC Milan gets possession, their counterattack will be sharp. After all, Izalelt..."

Before the commentator finished, AC Milan restarted the game with a long ball.

Kickoff kill!

This kind of trick usually attempted by weaker teams was now being tried by AC Milan.

It's like the tides have turned.

Lam retreated all the way, following Izalelt, but Izalelt's speed was too fast, how could Lam's retreating pace match someone's running steps?

With a turn, by the time Lam faced the goal, Izalelt had already overtaken him.

Naji immediately stepped up, blocking Izalelt.

Izalelt was knocked aside by Naji.

But quickly Izalelt dodged around Naji.

He isn't the type to fall from a collision; he doesn't belong to the power type, but his physical confrontation isn't weak at all.

This is what's known as impact.

Finally, it was Bernulin who, taking advantage of the time Naji was obstructing Izalelt, kicked the ball back to midfield, clearing it with a big foot to prevent a kickoff kill.

In the stands, two Germans were whispering.

"I don't understand the point of us watching this match; AC Milan is playing with a full substitute lineup, what's interesting?"

"Not sure, but last year Liverpool sent some coaching staff to watch the AC Milan Italian Cup final, and that's how they later defeated AC Milan in the Champions League."

"So... are we Bayern also believing in this superstition?"

"Of course, we don't believe it; we're here to watch Izalelt's performance."

"So the result? How is Izalelt exactly?"

"From what I see, there's nothing particularly special; he doesn't seem much different from our Bayern's Melcan, maybe just a bit faster than Melcan."

"Yes, right, I think San Remo will win this match. Their midfielder Morici is very talented, and the forward Bai Zhami is extremely fast!"

"Indeed! After all, they defeated Werder Bremen, who has Pavovsky!"

The two Germans left the stadium early, preparing to experience Milan's charm.

They have watched too many matches.

Having such an opportunity, it's better to admire the beautiful bodies of Milan's sexy models.

Just as they stepped out of the stadium, another wave of excited cheers erupted from inside.

San Remo scored again!

This time, Lu Yang received a pass from Morici in the penalty area, then dribbled and bumped AC Milan's central defender Chaloba aside before scoring.

AC Milan's young central defender was as fragile as a paper figure in front of Lu Yang, being bounced away upon collision.

This goal came quite easily.

Two to zero!

San Remo's half hand is already on the Italian Cup trophy!

Red and Black Milan collapsed completely, unable to withstand a single blow!
