Chapter 137: Victory and Defeat
There are only fifteen minutes left, and if you count the stoppage time, it won't be more than 20 minutes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Guidolin's team has not had a good record recently, not counting this round of games, there are only eight rounds in the league. Parma don't have enough points to reach relegation and if they lose this game, club president Giraldi may not be happy.
Guidolin had no choice, he could only attack. No matter how strong AC Milan is, he can't sit still. As against Juventus and Roma, Guidolin is not looking for a win, only a draw, and with a bit of luck, he may be able to win the game like he did against Fiorentina.
He replaced Patcy with Strassell. Strassel doesn't have a clear style of play, but he is decent, can assist defenders when defending, and can help strikers when attacking, and this black lad is still somewhat useful at this special juncture.
Parma have made a substitution, and AC Milan will not waste the big names on the bench. Leonardo replaced Pirlo with Ambrosini, in essence, AC Milan will not reduce the playmaking ability of the midfield because of Pirlo's departure, not to mention that Ambrosini is very good in attack, Ronaldo and Seedorf are enough to cause Parma a lot of problems.
Zhang Shujie got the ball in front of the court, knocked Li Mu back with Silva on his back, Li Mu passed behind Silva again, Zhang Shujie started reflexively, and quickly caught up with the ball, Silva immediately followed, sticking to him like a shadow.
The defensive pressure was like an invisible mountain, which made Zhang Shujie breathless. Silva was behind the right side of his body, but he was already feeling that it was difficult for him to dribble the ball, Silva's excellent defensive awareness made him lose his best dribbling position, although he could still protect the ball, but the position of the ball made him feel awkward to handle and not make the most comfortable movements.
Theoretically he could have taken a little to the left, but Nesta was to his left, guarding Crespo. Zhang Shujie is miserable, Silva's defense is really in place! This is the ability of the top defender, seemingly inadvertent actions, in fact, it has completely prevented the striker from death.
Zhang Shujie was inexplicably angry, and stabbed the ball in the direction of the goal, this reluctant shot was not enough in terms of power or angle, and Abbiati easily confiscated the ball.
Palowski ran to Abbiati's side, looking at him as if he was expecting Abbiati to get rid of the ball and make up for it himself, but the Rossoneri goalkeeper didn't let him go.
Zhang Shujie glanced at Palowsky, and Palowsky also looked over, and the two shook their heads helplessly, turned around and walked back.
Eighty-two minutes into the game, Zhang Shujie and Palowski didn't do much under the defence of Silva and Zambrotta, and the two scored a goal each, but there were not many bright spots other than that. Palowski is very desperate, but the team's strength is not good, and many efforts have been useless.
Crespo's performance was also unimpressive, with Nesta being successful in defending against him. In many direct conversations between the two veterans, Nesta has the upper hand.
It's also the difference between a striker and a defender. After the age of 30, most defenders can continue to have some residual power, but the striker is not, once the age of standing, the state will decline rapidly, especially the power of the center, it is difficult to find the courage of the year.
Abbiati's goal kick was picked up by Gallopa and he passed it to Li Mu, who was less than a meter in front of Li Mu. In the game, he and Gattuso had more than one direct conversation, but only once under the cover of Morrone, and the rest of the time it was difficult to break through the defense of the "desperate Saburo". Li Mu was also proud of his skills, and even as a professional player, he has performed gorgeous techniques on the court many times. But when he learned the tenacious interception of a world-class defender today, he knew what it means to be outside.
Li Mu passed the ball to Strassell, who had just come on the field, and Strassell gave it to Morrone. Morrone looked at the front in front of him, but he couldn't pass it, so he passed it back to Li Mu.
Parma midfielder is down-to-foot. But Parma are not Barcelona, they don't have Xavi and Iniesta, and it's obviously too tender to play this trick in front of AC Milan, who have Ronaldo and Seedorf.
Gattuso and Ambrosini teamed up to steal the ball from Strassell's feet. Strassell, who fell to the ground, signaled to the referee that Gattuso had committed a foul. The referee ignored it, raised his hands flat, and the game continued.
Ronaldo and Seedorf moved up front, with Jankulovski and Zambrotta also cutting forward from the flanks, with Borriello and Inzaghi up front. AC Milan have a variety of attacking options to choose from, relying on Ronaldo's penetration in the middle, or crosses from two wings, or Seedorf can suddenly release a cold arrow.
Ambrosini gave the ball to Seedorf, who flicked the ball sideways, took two steps, and suddenly shot from 25 meters away, the ball hit Gallopa and bounced diagonally in front of Ronaldo.
Xiao Luo is on the line of the big penalty area, the ball falls from the air, he stepped on the ball, and then picked it up, like a "flower finger" to pick up the ball, the ball in the air a rainbow, falling to the far corner.
The angle is very tricky, Mirante can't do anything, and Parma fans can't bear to watch anymore.
The ball bounced off the post and bounced back into the box, and Parma survived. Leonardo, however, felt that it was a pity that the goalkeeper had raised the white flag, but it was blocked by the goalpost.
But the ball didn't go out of bounds, and AC Milan's attack didn't end there. Just as Parma's players were looking for the second landing point of the ball, a ghostly figure came out of nowhere, like a ghost, appeared in the penalty area.
Immediately, the ball went into the net, and the AC Milan players began to swarm forward, all chasing the man who was running at the front.
The wind blew his number nine shirt and it was Inzaghi's second goal of the game. The game was in the 87th minute, and the goal completely announced Parma's defeat at home.
Leonardo can finally rest assured. After winning this round, AC Milan ushered in three consecutive wins, ranking second in the standings, four points away from Inter Milan, and still maintaining the hope of winning the title.
This time, the Milan fans in the stands were not just chanting Inzaghi's name, they were also singing, a song they had written for the shooter, called "The Song of Inzaghi".
Fontanero looked at Inzaghi who was running and roaring with his hands on his hips, and felt very uncomfortable. He felt he was already concerned about Inzaghi, but the experienced striker took two chances and scored twice. In the goal just now, Inzaghi was obviously still by Fontanero's side when Ronaldo hit the neutral post, but after the ball popped up, Inzaghi was already in front of the ball.
Perhaps, as Carlo Ancelotti said, many times, it is not Inzaghi who goes to find the ball, but the ball who goes to Inzaghi.
Chen Hui and Shen Hao were also speechless for a while, and after Inzaghi came on the field, they also guessed that Parma might be dangerous, but they didn't guess that the thirty-six-year-old shooter Wang would make Parma fall into the abyss as soon as he entered.
"I think Guidolin should think about the next game. Shen Hao said softly.
Guidolin did prepare for the next round of fixtures, and he called Cรณrdoba, who were warming up, back to the bench, and with five or six minutes remaining, he didn't think his side would be able to score at least two goals in a row for AC Milan.
Zhang Shujie shook his head and walked towards Li Mu and sighed: "It's hard to believe that he is thirty-six years old. โ
Li Mu smiled bitterly: "I think he is more like twenty-six years old." That guy is working too hard!"
"Athletes, that's how it should be. Is it like the national football team? After winning South Korea, the whole country will be happy for a long time! After the game is over, I will go and exchange jerseys with him. Who do you want to trade with?"
"I was thinking about looking for Xiao Luo, but now I have decided to find Gattuso. โ
Two minutes of stoppage time in the second half, Parma faced a score of 2:4 and reluctantly accepted the outcome. AC Milan have also slowed down the pace of their attacks, or they have not organized them at all. But Inzaghi was still running up front, and a passing error from Castellini almost made Inzaghi find a single knife, but fortunately, Morrone returned in time, otherwise Inzaghi would have "hat-struck".
Shen Hao smiled dryly and said to Chen Hui: "Inzaghi shouldn't be thinking about a hat trick, right?"
"I don't know what he thinks. I know that as long as a striker like this is on the pitch, a defender has to be up to 12 points. Ignoring him for a second can lead to serious consequences. โ
Shen Hao thoughtfully: "There is no technique, no body, no speed, but he can score goals, no wonder Milan fans like him so much." โ
The game ended in Ronaldo's possession as AC Milan won 4-2 away at Parma to make it three wins in a row. Parma, for their part, have lost three of their last six league games. The sidelines LCD screen scrolled through the scores of other matches, and despite the loss, Parma were lucky not to drop one place in the standings, as the other teams fighting for relegation did not draw or lose to affect Parma's standings.
As he said, Li Mu took off his jersey and walked to Gattuso. The Milan midfielder, who had worked the field, was smiling at the moment, and he also took off his jersey, and the two exchanged team uniforms. Gattuso also took the initiative to hug Li Mu and whispered: "Although I can't remember your name for the time being, I have to say that your skills are great, young man." โ
"But I can't break through your defenses. Li Mu shrugged.
"Now doesn't mean you'll improve in the future. After Gattuso finished speaking, he hung Li Mu's jersey and walked to the sidelines.
Morrone and Ronaldo exchanged shirts, Crespo and Nesta swapped jerseys, and Palowski walked up to Inzaghi with Zambrotta's shirt in hand, didn't know what to say, and walked away with a smile.
Inzaghi also walked out of the stadium, and no one had changed his jersey for the time being, so Zhang Shujie hurriedly chased after him to prevent other teammates from taking the lead.
"Philip!" Zhang Shujie shouted behind Inzaghi.
Inzaghi turned around, saw that it was a young Chinese boy, and smiled: "What are you looking for me?"
Zhang Shujie pointed to the shirt on his body, and then pointed to his clothes: "I want to change the jersey with you, is it okay?"
"Absolutely. Inzaghi smiled and took off his No. 9 jersey, and Zhang Shujie took off his No. 21 jersey. The two handed each other their jerseys.
"I heard you're from China?" Inzaghi asked suddenly.
Zhang Shujie was stunned, he didn't expect Inzaghi to ask him, and nodded: "Yes." โ
"I've never been to that country, I just know that there are a lot of Chinese fans. โ
Zhang Shujie didn't reply, he didn't know what to say.
Inzaghi smiled and was about to turn around and walk back, when he said again: "You are excellent." โ
After leaving this sentence, he walked out of the field.
Zhang Shujie can't tell if Inzaghi's words are casual, and many old-timers like to praise a few words in front of the younger generations, even if this rising star is not as good as they expected. At least for now, Inzaghi's most admired young player should be Paloski.
In this game, many players on both sides exchanged jerseys, originally two or three at the beginning, and then more and more, and almost all the players who played had each other's jerseys.
This atmosphere has even affected the fans, they were sworn enemies before, but now they are partly of each other, standing in the stands to applaud the players on the field, Chen Hui and Shen Hao are among them. It's hard to see such a scene in other sports, and the only thing that can be done is football, which is also the charm of football.
Everyone is an opponent on the field, and they are friends off the court. This is football, the number one sport in the world.
