Chapter 688 Berlusconi Slapped in the Face (Part 1)

PS: I would like to ask for recommendation votes here first. Please support me more. Thank you...

Because the situation in the penalty area was quite urgent at that time, Stam, who twisted his body to clear the ball, did not kick the ball too far. The ball just flew out of Fiorentina's penalty area and fell to the ground. The one who got the ball first was Fiorentina's starting midfielder in this game, Christian Zanetti.

Bierkhov was communicating with the referee with dissatisfaction. He believed that Matrazi's actions just now meant to deliberately block him from moving forward. He should call Matrazi for a foul in the penalty area. Even if Matrazi does not show a yellow card, they should be awarded a penalty.

However, the referee ignored Bierkov's appeal. Although Matrazi's move did have the intention to stop the Germans, he did not think that AC Milan should be awarded a penalty because of this. After all, the ball was not within Bierkov's control at that time. Even if he was not blocked, Stam, who was closer to the ball, should have grabbed the ball first.

Besides, Matrazi just blocked you for a moment and didn't pull you. If he said that he accidentally blocked you because of his slow turning speed, could I really give you a penalty?

Seeing that the referee didn't even bother to resolve his complaint, Bielhof had to give up his plan to continue arguing and retreated to his side dejectedly at halftime, preparing to wait for the next opportunity to attack.

However, what Bierhoff did not expect was that it was because he went to appeal to the referee, rather than running to interfere with Zanetti's pickup when the ball was cleared, which led to a series of results that he had never expected.

Zanetti, who grabbed the clearing ball, looked up and observed the situation around him. He found that Pirlo was reaching out to ask for the ball not far from him. So Zanetti quickly passed the ball over - this was what Capello specifically instructed before the game, requiring that when the team launched a quick counterattack, he must hand over the ball to Pirlo, and he was responsible for launching the counterattack.

The reason Capello arranged this way is mainly because among the three starting midfielders in Fiorentina, only Pirlo can take on the heavy responsibility of the midfield organization. Only he has enough accurate footwork and awareness to use passes to tear open the opponent's defense line. Only he can control the rhythm of the game and prevent the team from being led by the opponent.

After receiving a pass from Zanetti, Pirlo first pulled the ball and turned around to avoid Boban's press, then glanced at the running position of his teammates in the frontcourt, and raised his foot and sent a long pass over the top!

Looking at Ronaldo again, when the aliens saw Pirlo get the ball, Ronaldo, who had already retreated to the center line, quickly turned around and ran forward at full speed, because he believed in his heart that as long as he could run out of the opportunity, Pirlo's pass would definitely fall on his running route!

Pirlo did not disappoint Ronaldo's trust. When the aliens relied on Superman's first-class explosive power to throw three AC Milan defenders out four or five meters, the long pass he kicked just landed in front of Ronaldo!

Pirlo's pass was very comfortable. Ronaldo, who was sprinting at full speed, showed no sign of slowing down during the reception. He steadily controlled the ball under his feet and continued to move forward at high speed towards AC Milan's goal!

"What a good ball!" This is the common voice of almost everyone watching this game at this time. From the timing of Pirlo's pass to Ronaldo's acceleration start, these two young people controlled everything very perfectly!

If Pirlo passes the ball a little earlier, Ronaldo may not be able to receive the ball comfortably. The adjustment process is enough to give AC Milan defenders time to re-arrange their defenses and lose the opportunity to counterattack. If Pirlo passes a little later, the aliens who run out first will immediately fall into the offside trap carefully arranged by the Maldini and will also lose this scoring opportunity!

This is the huge effect of tacit understanding between players. If the trust between Ronaldo and Pirlo is slightly worse, then the two of them will definitely not be able to cooperate so well.

Among the three central defenders on AC Milan, the fastest Martini and Ayala are now returning to defense at full speed, hoping to stop Ronaldo before rushing into the penalty area. However, the Martini are also very clear in their hearts that the hope of blocking aliens outside the penalty area is actually quite slim, because they are not players who are good at speed.

In the European Cup in England, the scene where Maldini was directly beaten by Pobosky with speed is still fresh in memory; the scene where Ayala was defeated by Irving this summer was still talked about, so it is difficult for them to catch up with Ronaldo, who is not inferior to Pobosky and Irving in speed.

Just as AC Milan's defenders were desperately chasing back, Ronaldo had already dribbled into AC Milan's penalty area. What blocked him was his last obstacle on the goal-scoring path. AC Milan's starting goalkeeper Sebastian Rossi in this game!

Although Rossi had saved Ronaldo's two solo shots in the previous time, the aliens did not take these failures seriously because he had already figured out how to deal with the old goalkeeper in front of him this time.

On Rossi, when he saw Ronaldo dribbling the ball towards the penalty area, the 34-year-old goalkeeper did not seem panic, but calmly opened his arms and rushed towards the aliens. From the previous few matches, the experienced old Rossi realized that Ronaldo's shooting status today was not very good.

Therefore, as long as he can attack in time and block most of the shooting angles, Rossi believes that with Ronaldo's condition today, he will never be able to send the ball into the goal!

However, the veteran obviously forgot that no matter how bad a striker scored a goal, when facing the goalkeeper alone, he had another option in addition to choosing to shoot first before being blocked by the goalkeeper!

"Even the goalkeeper passed by. If you hit the empty goal directly, I don't believe that this ball can't get in!" Ronaldo thought so and drove the ball towards the goal!

Then……

"Rossi attacked! He blocked Ronaldo's shooting angle! Let's see how the aliens will break through Ronaldo's defense and send the ball into AC Milan's goal... Marseille swing! It's Marseille swing! Ronaldo actually swings through AC Milan's last defensive player on the court when facing the opponent's goalkeeper!"

At this moment, on the court, the alien who passed Rossi had no barrier in front of him. He pushed the arch of his right foot and sent the ball into the goal that was no longer guarded!
