Chapter 899: Equalize before halftime
During the Manchester City crowd wall, the TV screen was playing back the slow motion of Zhang Shujie's pass, and He Wei exclaimed: "This man is really very imaginative, how did he think of using this method at that time?"
Xu Yang smiled: "It's hard to explain this clearly. Sometimes a player has a moment of inspiration on the pitch and there is some improvisation. ”
"You probably don't get to see this kind of improvisation a few times in your life. ”
"So how should we evaluate Zhang Shujie better? He's a real genius!"
The camera cuts back to the field, Zhang Shujie is already measuring the pace, he takes a few steps back, stands up, the referee's whistle sounds, he runs forward, his left foot stepped hard next to the ball, picked up the right leg, the inside of the foot hit the middle and lower part of the ball, the ball flew off the ground, the human wall jumped, the ball bypassed the right end of the human wall, and went around the upper right corner of the goal.
Ma Junqiang was already ready, he moved two steps, when the ball flew closer, slightly bent his knees, his calf flicked, and the whole person pounced in the air, he almost held the ball with his left hand on the goal line, he tried hard to lift the ball off the crossbar, but unfortunately it was still a little short, the ball hit the post, and bounced back into the penalty area.
But at this time, a very thrilling scene happened, after the ball bounced back, it bounced to the knee of Kompany who ran back to the penalty area, and then the ball bounced towards the goal, Ma Junqiang was shocked, and in an instant, the ball grazed the upper edge of the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
This scene happened very quickly, everyone didn't react, even the Manchester City fans in the stands were stunned, and Guardiola was also mentally upset just now. Fortunately, none of the people present had heart disease, otherwise they would have been critically ill by this scene.
"It's too dangerous. Kompany was lucky, and if he had been stumbled into by mistake, it would have been a very difficult second half for Manchester City. ”
Kompany also had palpitations, and Ma Junqiang exhaled even more before standing up from the ground. Chen Zihua walked to the corner kick area and prepared to take the corner kick. It was AC Milan's first corner of the game, and it took almost 40 minutes for the Rossoneri to get a corner, which is unbelievable to think about.
Yan Tao and Romagnoli came up to fight for the top, and Abbate's Antonelli stayed on the periphery. Chen Zihua drove the ball into the penalty area, Zhang Shujie at the front point did not reach it, Yan Tao and Liang Xiran in the middle jumped together, both of them raised their arms in the air, and finally the ball was rubbed by Yan Tao first, but it rubbed against Liang Xiran's head, and Liang Xiran also pushed the ball out with some surprise.
Sergio Aguero got the ball, it was not possible to see him for a while, this time he took the ball and saw that AC Milan's backfield was relatively empty, so he took the ball forward, Antonelli stepped forward to intercept, Aguero did not stick the ball, handed to De Bruyne next to him.
'Manchester City are going to fight back. Now Pep Guardiola will not play as slowly as before, the speed of counterattacking has increased a lot, and AC Milan is trying its best to catch up. ”
De Bruyne handed the ball to Xu Ziyi again, Chen Zihua immediately pasted it, Xu Ziyi did not take another step, directly distributed the ball to the right side, and passed to Jesus.
Gabriel Jesus isn't a particularly fast player, but he's flexible and a gust of wind when he runs. The Brazilian coach called him a fast horse, which also shows that although Jesus's absolute speed is not very outstanding, there is no problem in hitting forward.
AC Milan's defense was very fast, especially Yan Tao ran first, because his absolute speed was fast enough, and he was going to Jesus at this time, but Jesus didn't want to fight him hard, and passed the ball to Fernandinho, who was inserted behind.
Antonelli is still chasing back, Fernandinho in order to better control the ball, in parallel with the line of the penalty area slowed down, Antonelli also took the opportunity to lean over, at this time Fernandinho accelerated the ball towards the bottom line, and stuck Antonelli with his body, only one step away from the bottom line, he passed the ball diagonally to the big penalty area.
Aguero took Romagnoli in front, Xu Ziyi grabbed the point, and Chen Zihua followed, but Xu Ziyi made a clever mistake and leaked it to Silva in the back.
The hearts of AC Milan fans were hanging, and Donnarumma bravely saved Silva's close to the ground at the critical moment, but the hanging heart of the Milan ball could not be put down, because the ball was saved at De Bruyne's feet, and Donnarumma had no way to make a second save at this time.
Yan Tao was staring at Gabriel Jesus, a little far from De Bruyne, too late to save, Abate went up, but De Bruyne pushed a left-footed shot into the near corner and pushed the ball into the AC Milan goal from four meters in front of goal.
1:1! Manchester City equalized the score!
Kevin De Bruyne pulled the score back for City in the 41st minute of the first half, and De Bruyne changed the score to 1-1. This time Manchester City will play a little better in the second half, of course, this is based on the situation that Milan did not score in the first half, if AC Milan need to rely on the counter-attack to score another one, it will be unclear. ”
As soon as He Wei finished speaking, Xu Yang said: "Manchester City's goal is also successful by counterattacking, and the counterattack of modern football is really too important. ”
"That's right. Today's Milan, Bayern, and Real Madrid are all based on counterattacks, and they are all very efficient. ”
Kevin De Bruyne ran to the sidelines to celebrate, his team-mates ran up to surround him, and the City fans in the stands were also in the midst of the celebration, which was their first goal in the history of the Champions League final, and it was also very memorable, and if they can win in the end, it should be remembered for a lifetime.
Pep Guardiola is happy now, the players equalised in the first half as he wanted, time is running out, it will be very difficult for Milan to score again, and it will be difficult for Manchester City to score for the rest of the first half.
Inzaghi stood on the sidelines and did not move, in fact, he was not surprised that Manchester City was able to score, and he was able to play in the final, and the attacking power of the goal was still there. However, he was still a little uncomfortable when he saw the ball cross the Milan goal line – he must have hoped that the team would do their best to keep a clean sheet. It's a pity that none of this is possible.
Donnarumma fished the ball out of the net and threw it out, and Locatelli kicked it in front again. Yuan Qing asked Chen Hui, "How is it?"
Chen Hui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't have anything special to talk about for the time being, the only thing to say is that the score in the first half is probably this score." ”
The ball has been placed in the center circle, and after the referee blew the whistle, Zhang Shujie passed the ball to Chen Zihua, and the game continued.
