Chapter 290: Captain!

Zanetti suddenly dribbled forward, which was indeed a surprise to the Barcelona players.

Yaya Toure interfered on one side, while Marcos waited on the other. Yaya Toure is not afraid of Zanetti's long-range shots, not to mention that Zanetti himself is not good at long-range shots, as long as Zanetti gets up to shoot, it is a good time for them to break the ball, so as long as they stick to Zanetti and wait for the opportunity to break the ball, this attack of the Inter Milan team ends here...... Not only that, Zanetti is currently playing in a midfield position, and if he can steal Zanetti's ball, Barcelona will take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and even catch Inter Milan off guard.

Zanetti was still dribbling the ball.

Up front, Juan Mata and Arshavin were in the running, and they ran to the two wings to pull out the middle.

Abidal and Zambrotta can only follow these two men, but they see that Zanetti has Yaya Toure and Marcos in the middle of the defense, so they are not worried about what Zanetti can threaten in the middle, but should be careful of Zanetti splitting sides.

In the middle, Adriano was in the air and ready to pick up Zanetti, and Gabriel Milito, who had already returned, rushed over to keep an eye on Adriano, who was a big threat.

***********

Zanetti still had no intention of passing, he continued to dribble forward, and kept tangling with Yaya Toure and Marcos as he ran to prevent the ball from being cut off by them.

Although the old captain of Inter Milan is thirty-four years old, he usually lives a very regular life, does not smoke or drink, has a regular diet, and has serious training rules, and maintains a good physical condition and competitive state.

Yaya Toure was a little surprised, he didn't expect this Argentine veteran to be so tenacious, at this time, Zanetti suddenly picked up again, Yaya Toure subconsciously looked up at the front, and then the Ivorian star was shocked: the front is the penalty area!

Worst!

Yaya Toure was shocked, he knew that he had been fooled, Zanetti suddenly stepped forward this time, not to shoot from a distance, nor to pass, this was to 'smash the Yellow Dragon'.

Although Yaya Toure also knows Zanetti and knows that this is not a player who can 'go all the way alone', but, no matter what, if Zanetti takes the ball into the penalty area, it is a threat, a big threat!

If something happens in the forbidden area, it's too late to regret it!

***********

Zanetti has a good ball, Yaya Toure knows that it is not easy to break the ball, otherwise he would have broken the ball a long time ago, at this time, the only option he can make is to foul......

Yaya Toure was shocked, he knew that he had to commit a foul decisively, the front was the penalty area, and it would be too late if he didn't foul!

Yaya Toure no longer hesitated, he leaned back and shoveled out with his right foot, almost at the same time, Marcos also realized the danger and knew that he had to foul, Marcos decisively pushed Zanetti from behind.

Zanetti had just accelerated suddenly, and the experienced Inter captain had obviously guessed that Yaya Toure would be desperate for a tactical foul at this time, so, almost at the same time as Yaya Toure made a tackle, Zanetti poked the ball forward, leaned forward himself, and suddenly picked up speed again.

It was this stabbing and speeding up that Yaya Toure's tackle behind the side did not reach a solid tackle, but only rubbed Zanetti's ankle.

The thirty-four-year-old veteran, with the ball in the case of two people to rush forward for such a long distance, Zanetti's physical fitness to the limit, originally Yaya Toure's tackle, Zanetti may have fallen to the ground, but, almost at the same time, Marcos pushed behind him, but instead formed a thrust, making Zanetti's body move forward......

In almost impossible circumstances, the Inter captain actually dodged the fouls of the two defenders who had been pestering, and he entered the penalty area!

***********

"Toure shovels, Marcos, over!" Ferrari roared, with an incredible expression and tone, "Go in, go into the box, Zanetti, Zanetti!"

Rossi's eyes widened, and he even got up from the commentary seat and shouted, "Zanetti, Zanetti, what did I see, I seemed to see the Zanetti who just came to Inter Milan back then!

Referee Stark had already put the whistle in his mouth, but seeing that Zanetti did not fall, he was naturally happy not to blow the whistle. Anyway, the attack is advantageous, this is allowed by the rules, and it is difficult for Inter Milan to say anything.

Although he broke through into the penalty area, Zanetti was at the limit of his physical fitness at this time, and because of the previous foul actions of the two, his body center of gravity was unstable at this time, and his steps were a little staggering, and he seemed to be shaking.

If the camera zooms in, you can see the expression of the thirty-four-year-old veteran at this time, he gritted his teeth and looked hideous, as if he wanted to use this last bit of strength to move on!

Go ahead!

His goal is the goal in front of him!

Perhaps, at this moment, this extremely tired veteran, at this time, has no other thoughts in his mind, he just wants to move on, closer!

***********

"Closer! Closer!" Zanetti's eyes were bloodshot, he didn't make up his mind to dribble straight to Huanglong at first, this is not his forte, but, he has advanced to this point, he only has shots in his head, only goals, shooting is not his forte, he wants to get closer to the goal, and then fight for a chance to shoot!

He almost crumbled and was about to fall, but Javier Zanetti shook like this, and finally did not fall to the ground, knowing that if he fell, he would lose control of the football!

Valdés was stunned, he didn't expect that the old Argentine guy would stumble all the way over with the ball, and finally enter the penalty area!

Valdés was hesitating at this point, hesitating whether to attack, or to seal the angle, or to count on Zanetti to fall to the ground without strength.

Valdés finally decided to attack, and he didn't dare to bet.

Just when Valdés finally decided to attack, just rushed out of the goal...... Zanetti took the final step!

The thirty-four-year-old veteran took the last step to catch up with the football, and although he stumbled, although he could fall at any moment, it did not prevent him from lifting his foot to shoot......

The right foot jerked on the football!

This is a shot with the last strength of all your body!

After the shot, the veteran even turned around and collapsed to the ground!

***********

With this volley with all his strength, the football suddenly flew up and flew past Valdés, who was attacking.

The Barcelona goalkeeper subconsciously waved his hand, but the ball speed was too fast, he didn't touch the football at all, and his wave seemed to be saying goodbye to the football and saying goodbye to Barcelona's comeback hope!

Then, Valdés heard a 'bang'!

His heart rejoiced!

He turned his head to look!

Horrified to see the ball hit the inside of the post and bounce into the net!

Then, as if all his thoughts and strength had been drained, Valdés turned his head to see the eyes of the exhausted old fellow who was still lying on the ground.

What kind of eyes are that, there are weakness, exhaustion, unwillingness, expectation, longing, and then at this moment, they all turn into one emotion: satisfaction!

He even suspected that he had heard the veteran sigh of satisfaction, and then rolled over and lay down in front of the door.

***********

Camp Nou, Barcelona, 24 April 2008.

At 22:21 p.m. local time in Spain, the 76th minute of the match.

Thirty-four-year-old Javier Zanetti scores.

The 34-year-old lay in front of the Barcelona goal, opening his eyes to see the stars at the Camp Nou.

Then, he saw the crazy, excited faces of his teammates......

They were shouting in his ear, 'Captain!'

'Captain'!

Captain!

Captain of a team!

The soul of a team!

It's for the captain!
