Chapter 136: Milan Nine

Leonardo finally activated the secret weapon in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chen Hui and Shen Hao in the press box cheered for Zhang Shujie's goal, which brought the two teams to the same starting line. But when they saw Inzaghi moving in the warm-up area, the two Chinese reporters became worried again. With half an hour to go, Inzaghi can play at least twenty-five minutes, excluding five minutes of warm-up time. For a shooter like him, anything can change in twenty-five minutes.

Guidolin also realized the problem. Although the media has slightly "deified" Inzaghi in the past two or three seasons, this is not groundless, and the media's praise for him has been earned by his own efforts.

At the Tardini Stadium, thousands of Milan fans who came with the team gave their warmest applause to Inzaghi, who had not yet played and was still warming up. Even so, he was cheered and applauded by the fans.

Looking at the applauding Milan fans in the stands, and then at Inzaghi, Zhang Shujie thought to himself: this is still the home stadium of Parma, if it is at the San Siro, what will it be like?

Li Mu couldn't break through Gattuso's defense, the ball was cut off and rolled off the sideline. The fourth official held up the LCD sign for substitutions, and AC Milan was going to make a substitution.

No. 7 Pato down, No. 9 Inzaghi on.

Pato's form in this game was indeed average, Leonardo replaced him with Inzaghi, and Borriello formed a double striker.

"Hey, Alberto, don't get excited, don't get excited!" Crespo said to Palosky. Zhang Shujie looked back, and Palowski seemed to be a little excited about Inzaghi's play. Milan's number nine is his idol, and it's a wonderful thing to be able to compete with his idol.

As soon as Inzaghi came on the pitch, Milan's slightly relaxed form was changed. He ran aggressively up front, looking for holes in Parma's backline. With a big swing of his hand, Guidolin allowed Fontanero to keep an eye on Inzaghi, and as long as he could have been stared to death, he would not have been given a chance to score.

Many coaches have Guidolin's sentiments, and Inzaghi's style of play is known all over the world, and once he is restricted, his thin body will have a hard time against defenders. But Guidolin seems to have forgotten that Inzaghi never takes the initiative to trouble the defenders, he only "hides".

He went to "dodge" the opposing defenders.

No team, no player, can be alert at all times in a 90-minute high-intensity game, and it is inevitable that there will be times when there is loosening, and Inzaghi relies on this to often score goals.

Less than three minutes into his play, Fontanero was half a beat slower in a turn and was snatched the lead by the 36-year-old Inzaghi, whose first touch would have put the Rossoneri ahead had it not been for Mirante's timely attack.

Parma's fans were scared into a cold sweat, and they didn't know if Inzaghi had just come on the pitch or if he was so agile, and he rushed from the crowd to the goal in the blink of an eye.

The hard work on the pitch is also contagious, and the AC Milan players will naturally not relax themselves anymore when they see their teammates working so hard. Ronaldo gradually returned to the feeling of the first half, Seedorf will not intentionally stick to the ball, Zambrotta and Jankulovski frequently assist from the two wings to the front, giving the striker the greatest support.

Seedorf handed the ball to the left, Jankulovski crossed into the box, Borriello headed it over, Mirante saved the ball off the line, and AC Milan won a corner.

Pirlo took the penalty, he drove the ball to the front point, and it was the high school striker Borriello who won the ball, but due to Patsi's interference, Borriello rubbed the ball to the back point, Inzaghi appeared, he raised his left foot and fired a cushion shot, the ball hit the post, and bounced back into the box. Ronaldo shot again and went over the crossbar.

Parma temporarily relieved the crisis in front of goal, but Inzaghi gave Guidolin two scares, and he was a little out of breath, shouting loudly for the defenders to pay more attention to Inzaghi and not let the monster get a chance.

With AC Milan back in control, Parma had fewer counter-attacks. Fortunately, there is still a Li Mu in the team, and Parma can basically play one or two waves of offensive in a limited attack. Li Mu and Morrone cooperated with each other, past Gattuso, Morrone handed the ball back to Li Mu, Li Mu raised his eyes and saw that the three strikers were running in their respective positions, so he no longer hesitated and passed the ball before Gattuso returned to defense.

He was looking for Zhang Shujie. It's his habit, as long as the strikers have equal chances, he first looks for his best friend.

Thiago Silva followed Zhang Shujie's side. The Brazilian defender only arrived at AC Milan in the second half of last season, when Milan fans were not optimistic about the Brazilian, with some even believing that he was not as good as Onewu from the United States. But a year on, Silva has conquered the discerning Milan fans. The Brazilian defender, who is not yet 26 years old, is stepping into the top ranks of the world.

Zhang Shujie tried hard to break through Silva, but Silva's watertight defense left him with nothing to do. He barely managed to keep the ball under control, and Silva didn't press it, just stuck his position and didn't let him move forward with the ball.

In the face of this kind of defense, unless the offensive players are much stronger than the defenders, it is unrealistic to want to break through the past all the way. Even if the defender can only get stuck for one second, the teammate has one more second to return. The current Zhang Shujie is still too far behind Silva, and it will do Parma more harm than good if it continues to be consumed like this.

He played the ball back to Morrone, who crossed into the box and Crespo and Nesta, two former team-mates, got together, but neither of them could get it. Perhaps because of their age, the ball brushed their hair and floated to the back point.

When Palowski saw it, he thought it was time and reached out to meet the ball. But Zambrotta appeared in time to destroy the ball first.

Parma's attack failed to produce a shot on goal, but it also caused AC Milan to be in a state of false alarm. Leonardo stood on the sidelines and shouted something, presumably to let the back line not be careless, so as not to be attacked by Parma again.

After defending, it is natural to counterattack. This is AC Milan's strong point, and they have won various titles over the years by relying on defensive counter-attacking play. If it weren't for the fact that several of the team's superstars are getting older now, they would have won more accolades.

Pirlo played a long pass straight up the midfield position, and the ball flew over the heads of Seedorf, Gattuso and Ronaldo, and Borriello and Inzaghi started at the same time, but Inzaghi started significantly faster and was closer to the ball than Borriello.

Pirlo was originally passed to Inzaghi.

A clever anti-offside position, Inzaghi left all the Parma players except the goalkeeper behind, it was a one-handed meeting! Guidolin shouted "Oops" when he saw Inzaghi stop the ball 20 meters from goal.

The Rossoneri's no.9 burst into the box with the ball and Parma's defenders chased after him with all their might, but once in the box, it was the striker's domain. What's more, this striker is also the king of the penalty area!

Mirante came out to block the angle of the shot, Inzaghi pushed the arch of his right foot, the ball rolled past the right hand of the downed Mirante, rolled towards the unguarded Parma goal, Fontanero chased the ball and fell to the ground, scooping only the grass clippings on the ground.

3:2!AC Milan took the lead in the 75th minute!

Inzaghi ran on the pitch, raising his arms and shouting, and his teammates all ran up and surrounded him in the middle. Milan fans in the stands held up large portraits and jerseys of Inzaghi and chanted Inzaghi's nickname.

“pippo!pippo!pippo!pippo!”

Loud voices echoed through the stadium of Tardini and even suppressed the Parma fans at home. Everyone can clearly hear the phrase "pippo"! Zhang Shujie looked at the Milan fans in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Inzaghi, he was a little stunned for a while, is this in Tardini or San Siro?

Li Mu walked towards him and plucked out his ears: "What a loud voice!"

Zhang Shujie also said: "Papaya, we're not in San Siro, are we?"

"If we were really at San Siro, Inzaghi would have been cheered for even more. ”

"I'd love to experience it. How great it is for a player to be treated like this by his own fans. ”

Li Mu muttered, "I want to go to ...... too"

Seeing the two whispering, Morrone walked up and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Shujie said: "We are talking about Inzaghi. ”

"Inzaghi?" Morrone was puzzled: "He's an AC Milan player, what do you discuss about him?"

"You heard the cheers from the Milan fans just now, right?"

"Hear me, what?"

"It's so auditory!"

Morrone smiled dumbly: "It's nothing, if it's at the San Siro Stadium, it's shocking!"

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu glanced at each other, and then Li Mu asked, "What kind of shocking method?"

At the San Siro, more than 80,000 fans chant Inzaghi by name whenever he scores, and in the South Stand, there are large posters and portraits of him, and tens of thousands of fans sing songs written for him in unison, and the singing echoes across the pitch. I'm not alarmist, because I've experienced it myself. ”

After Zhang Shujie and Li Mu heard this, their mouths opened wide in surprise.

Morrone patted the two on the shoulder: "Don't talk about that, it's time to kick off." You're still young, and you should be eager to see what these superstars get from the fans. Work hard next season and try to get to San Siro to have a taste. ”

Crespo and Palowski stood in the center circle ready to kick off, and Zhang Shujie stood on the periphery, looking at the number nine opposite. The chanting of 'pippo' from the fans in the stands has stopped, but Inzaghi's jersey and portrait are still held in their hands as a sign of their affection for the star.

Even after Xiao Luo scored just now, he didn't get this kind of treatment from the fans, but Inzaghi did it.

Before Inzaghi came to AC Milan, less than 10% of Milan fans welcomed him, and most of them thought that "we need a defender, but Berlusconi brought us a striker", "We want Thuram, but Inzaghi is here...... All the rhetoric at the time was not good for the Italian striker.

However, in the past few years at AC Milan, Inzaghi has won two trophies for the team, and has repeatedly turned the tide when the team has fallen behind, leaving a glimmer of hope for the Rossoneri. He became famous at the age of 24 and stood at the peak at the age of 34. After ten years of hard work and struggle, it was not until the night of Athens that he stabbed his deadliest sword.

To this day, whenever Inzaghi scores again, the major media rush to report it. Maybe it was just an ordinary goal, but if you look back on his entire career with his goal, you will find that it is so inspiring. Someone said that you can dislike Inzaghi, or even hate him, but you have to admire him, he has come from the bottom step by step to become a top scorer, relying not on anyone's pity and sympathy, but on his own hard work and unyielding fighting spirit.

Zhang Shujie sighed silently, as the so-called God rewards hard work, if Chinese football can have such a fighting spirit, it will not be unable to rush out of Asia. Not to mention spending 32 years just to defeat the South Korean team.

The referee's whistle sounded, Zhang Shujie pulled back to his thoughts, and the game continued.
