Chapter 771
After Inzaghi equalized the score for the third time, the morale and confidence of the Milanese reached the peak of this game. If Milan players and coaches had some fear and psychological shadows about Liverpool before, then now, all this has disappeared. Every Milanese, including fans, is full of infinite confidence in the victory reversal.
Confidence is more important than gold, especially after this high-intensity game is played for 70 minutes.
The Champions League final was held at the end of the season, and the players' physical and mental strength had reached their limits at this moment. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are at the end of their strength. At this time, the energy and physical energy consumption of the two strongest teams this season can be imagined. At this time, the one who can grit their teeth and persevere until the end is often the winning side. If any team gets chicken blood, they will have a higher chance of winning.
At this time, strength was not the most critical factor. Just like two years ago, Liverpool's strength was actually worse than Milan, otherwise he would not have been given three goals in the first half. However, Liverpool was hit by a chicken blood and was full of passion, and eventually reversed Milan.
The situation this time is just the opposite. After two years of growth and decline, Milan and Liverpool have already reached the same level. Liverpool won the league championship and is in a better state than Milan. Chen Yu has a stronger ability to seize opportunities, so he has only led Milan three times. Now Milan tied three times in a row, morale and confidence have exploded, allowing Milan players to play easily on the court. The actions that they dare not do in the league and the cooperation they dare not do in the league have now been done and completely controlled the scene. In comparison, Liverpool seems to be no longer on the same level.
In the minute of the game, Pirlo walked back Crouch and quickly pushed forward. When Gerald came to intercept, he easily and freely fought with Ambroseni in a wall-like two-pass and one-pass cooperation, turning Gerald into a dog.
Pirlo is a dangerous figure in Milan. Seeing him passing by the two of them, Alonso and Mascherano immediately came to defend themselves.
Pirlo nudged the ball and passed it to Kaka.
Kaka is Milan's explosive point in the frontcourt, and he is responsible for changing the rhythm and disrupting the opponent's defense.
Kaka rushed forward when he received the ball. When Liverpool's central defender retreated, he continued to sprint until Liverpool's defender retreated and had no choice but to shoot. Kaka made a fake move of lifting his foot and passing the ball to the ribs.
Everyone thought Kaka would pass it to Inzaji.
Inzaghi also scored two goals in the front, which was Liverpool's biggest threat, but Kaka did not pass it to Inzaghi, but to Seedorf.
To be precise, it was spread to the space where Seedorf runs.
When Kaka passed, there was no one in the ribs, and when the ball arrived, Seedorf also ran away.
Milan has only one pure striker, and this pure striker scored two goals. Liverpool people's attention is almost all on Inzaghi, so old monsters like Seidorf have been ignored.
Seidorf has a chance to overtake the score.
As a player who has won three Champions League titles in different teams, Seidorf was very calm at this time. He knew that he was in the penalty area. Although he ran in an open position, as long as he paused for a moment, more than one defensive player would instantly appear around him, so Seidorf directly raised his foot and hit it.
When Seidorf appeared in the ribs, goalkeeper Reiner was moving to the near corner, trying to block the most dangerous near corner. Seidorf's shot was very clever, and he rubbed the outside instep to the back corner of the goal with his outside foot.
It is difficult to shoot in the back corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Reina has given up protecting the back corner. The opponent is standing in the ribs. The goalkeeper has no way to completely protect the goal that is more than seven meters wide. He can only defend in the most dangerous position. If Seidorf's footwork is so accurate that he can keep hitting the far corner of the goal, Reina can only accept his fate.
"The distant corner is indeed the distant corner"
"The outside instep shot from the far corner of Seedorf is amazing"
Seeing Seidorf shooting in the far corner, many commentators and fans screamed. This old Dutch monster was indeed the most disgusting one.
At this second, everyone was staring at the ball, waiting for the verdict of fate.
Once in, the Milanese took the lead and they would be very motivated. Then they defended and fought back. There were only twenty minutes left, and Liverpool was definitely in danger.
If you don't make the game, the score will remain in a tie. Even if you reach overtime, both sides will still have a chance.
The ball was heading towards the back corner of the goal. Milan fans were waiting to cheer at that exciting moment, but the ball suddenly deflected when it was about one meter away from the back corner of the goal and flew out of the bottom line against the post.
"ah"
"Damn it"
"faint"
There was regret, sigh, and anger in the stands.
Seeing the ball missed, Shidorf waved his fist in annoyance. If he could stop and shoot again, he would definitely be sure to shoot into the back corner, but he just used a little power, so that the ball rotated too hard and deviated from his target.
Seidorf missed the ball and Liverpool escaped, but the advantage on the field is still in the hands of Milan.
After goalkeeper Reina got the ball, he did not rush to drive it out, but stopped for a while, and then drove the ball towards the frontcourt after the shock.
Reina hopes that Crouch can grab this landing point and launch a wave of attacks in the frontcourt to boost morale to the team, but Milan's defender is now full of confidence and is extremely aggressive when defending. Nesta takes the lead in defense and pushes the ball to his teammate Ambrosini's feet first.
Ambrosini did not hand the ball to Pirlo first as before, but instead led the ball forward directly.
This is a performance that players feel good in the game and are full of confidence.
Liverpool winger Kuyt quickly grabbed the ball. After Ambrosini passed the ball to Seedorf, he continued to step forward and responded to Seedorf. Inzaghi also moved closer to the side, and the three formed an offensive iron triangle.
Liverpool just drove the goal, and the defenders were all in their half, and were not afraid of the Milanese attack. When Ambrosini, Siddorf and Inzagie crossed the ball, Liverpool players adopted a man-to-man defensive strategy, and some people were preparing to make up for defense. They were not afraid of Siddorf, Inzagie, and Ambrosini's attack.
However, the Milanese are cunning and experienced. They have no intention of using these three people to break through Liverpool's defense. After all, none of them are good at breaking through. It is difficult to tear open Liverpool's defense by passing the ball, unless Liverpool's condition is really bad.
The Milan trio passed forward continuously. When entering Liverpool's 30-meter area, which was also the area where Liverpool's heavy troops were deploying, Ambrosini dribbled the ball and pretended to break through, but stopped and crossed across the board, finding the front midfielder Kaka who followed in the middle.
Kaka is Milan's real explosive point. His breakthrough and Pirlo's pass are the two major killing weapons of Milan, and are similar to Chen Yu and Gerald.
Seeing Ambrosini pass the ball to Kaka, Mascherano sticks to Kaka as fast as possible, preparing to disturb or foul when Kaka gets the ball, in short, he will not let Kaka rush up.
However, Kaka did not get the ball this time, but made a contact point and passed the ball to Seedorf with a wall-to-wave pass.
This time, Sidorf was not missed. Alonso was following Sidorf. Both of them were players who were not fast and had no explosive power. Alonso and Sidorf were not that difficult, at least they could keep up.
Kaka's pass position was twenty-six or seven meters away from the goal. Alonso was not prepared for Saidov's long shot. He felt that he could not make all his strength when he followed this position. Saidov could not make all his strength. It was definitely unwise to shoot a long shot. He was more about guarding against Saidov's passes and breakthroughs.
But Seidorf unexpectedly chose to shoot, obviously trying to catch the goalkeeper off guard.
Alonso stretched his foot to block it in a hurry, but he couldn't touch the ball.
Seidorf completed the shooting action very shortly. He hardly swung his thighs, but he relied on the strength of his calves and ankles.
Even if the angle of such a ball is tricky, it is difficult to pose a great threat to the goalkeeper. After all, the distance is a bit far, and the goalkeeper has enough reaction time.
However, a star once said that there is a chance to shoot. This sentence is true. Seidorf's shot was too sudden. Liverpool's defender Carragher did not dodge and did not have time to intercept. The ball happened to hit his leg and flew to the other side of the goal.
Change of direction refraction, this is the goalkeeper's most worried shot. Reina, who had just escaped, was almost shattered, and he was almost cursing. Fortunately, because the ball speed was not fast, he just moved and had not saved it yet. Reina quickly stopped her body, moved in the opposite direction, and a side pounced and pressed the ball on the goal line.
There were another scream of exclamation and sigh at the scene. The Liverpool man was scared and sweated in a cold manner. Milan was so angry that he almost kicked the seat to pieces.
Milan almost succeeded in both attacks, and Milan is not a strong attack that is under the pressure of the whole body. This only shows that Milan is in good shape now.
Benitez is also a person who knows the current affairs and is also a very rational person. When he saw that Milan is in such a good state, it is difficult to resist. He immediately gave up the idea of attacking Milan, waved his hand to let his players retreat, shrink their defense, avoid the Milanese's current edge. If he can attack one, he will sneak attack one. If he can't attack, he will wait for extra time. He believes that an excited state like Milan cannot last. Everyone's physical energy is consumed so much. It is difficult to last with confidence and morale alone. Benitez even believes that Milan's state may be like taking an aphrodisiac. After the excitement, he will even have kidney deficiency. At that time, Liverpool took advantage of the situation and may have a chance to defeat the enemy.
Benitez's abacus was good, but Milan's shot was very strong, and his continuous attack power did not stop for more than ten minutes, creating a good opportunity to score three or four goals. It was just because Liverpool timely contracted defense and adopted delays and foul tactics that the Milanese did not succeed again.
The most depressing thing at this time was Chen Yu. He had just used the star conversion card to exchange for Ronaldo's consciousness and was ready to rush, but he had no right to the ball. He was beaten to the point where he was beaten to parry and had no power to fight back. He only touched the ball twice in ten minutes, and the opponent used two fouls and one yellow card to shatter his hope of counterattack.
