AC Milan took a great step towards direct qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League, while they beat Girona 1-0 at home on Wednesday night.
The only goal of the game came late in the first half through Rafael Leao, who collected a pass from Ismael Bennacer after the midfielder recovered the ball well and hammered a shot into the roof of the net from inside the box.
Milan missed chances to make it an easier evening for themselves, but Girona also had their moments and were inches away from levelling through Bryan Gil who was marginally offside when curling in a sublime shot.
The main thing to download the 3 problems and a white sheet, the first bass Sergio Concicao. It is also a fifth consecutive victory in the Champions League, reaching the sixth position in the process. You will locate under the tactical research of Rajev Cajeev.
A very positive thing rom this game was how much the pressing has improved. However, it wasn’t without Conceicao directing traffic from the touchline.
You can see how players pushing to ask them to press Girona in the most sensible field, looking like they still require an apparent trigger.
The main precept of Concept is really out of the ball, unlike maximum coaches. Like Stefano Pioli, he needs his team to the opposition with the maximum sensible of the box with physical intensity. Pioli liked a humans -oriented technique, while Concicao prefers a human and zone hybrid.

The first possibility of Milan at the beginning came here from a photo of Leao for which the area created through Youssouf Fofana. The Frenchman has dragged his marker and creating an area for Leao to receive, turn and pull.
Concicao asked Milan to build with two from the base, so Gerona used a 4-4-2 formation to block lanes that from the two central backs.
Milan replied this and refined a 3-2 formation to build.
Girona was able to locate the area in the wide regions of the 3rd Guy races of Milan, where they would go internally and draw the internal Theo, then make a back or a midfielder to make a wide race in the vacant area.
The ‘eight-second rule’ of Gegenpressing dictates that the eight seconds after winning the ball back is the best time to score a goal, because it takes that amount of time for an opponent to settle into a defensive shapes.
After Bennacer won the ball in the central circle, he scanned the box temporarily moved it vertically towards Leao, checking the precept explained above.

Something we have mentioned in previous analyses is psxG (Post-Shot Expected Goals) or xGOT (Expected Goals on Target). Both are explained below:
➤ The XG Post-Shot (PSXG) is calculated after an injection has been taken and considers the placement of the shot, and if the style includes, the positioning of the goalkeeper to assign a price between 0 (outside the target ) and 1 to each shot.
➤ The Expected Goals on Target model is built on historical on-target shots and includes the original xG of the shot but also the goalmouth location where the shot ended up. It gives more credit to shots that end up in the corners compared with shots that go straight down the middle of the goal.
Xgot’s purpose for the purpose of Leao 0. 77, which means that it is a very high quality attempt and that is why the purpose was barely a chance.
According to @markstatsbot, Girona had an expected risk of 1. 38, but can only bring a combination of 0. 98 xg. This means that even if they moved the ball much larger than Milan, they can create intelligent quality opportunities.
Where Milan stood out is in the duel category. Milan has won more duels on the floor (10 opposite to 9) and air duels (39 opposite to 37), which gave Rossoner this slight merit of protecting its delay.
Once returned, Milan only had one purpose of an XG of 1. 39, which supports that they have a completion problem. It can be with all rumors about Santiago Giménez, control has noticed.
