Chapter 342: It's going to be reversed
With Atletico Madrid equalising, both sides began to play more conservatively. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
AC Milan conceded three goals in a row, and it was natural to seek stability.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, is worried about the big Inzaghi who is cruising in the frontcourt, and does not dare to take risks easily, nor is he willing to make mistakes again, and he is somewhat worried about some defense, which is also inevitable.
As a result, the situation quickly became a bit deadlocked.
Atletico Madrid controlled possession and tempo, but AC Milan held on to their own half.
Twenty-two players on both sides are constantly draining each other's energy in this long stalemate.
Even when Gao Han had to make a substitution after right wing-back Dario Srna fell to the ground and cramped, he used Roberto, who had better defensive ability, as the right wing-back, and did not dare to continue to increase the attack.
"So far in the game, there has been a lack of daring on either side, or rather, there should be no tricks. ā
'With Shevchenko and Rivaldo on the bench at AC Milan, it's doubtful whether Carlo Ancelotti will replace them, and it's another question whether the Rossoneri will come out on the pitch once the two superstars come on. ā
"Atletico Madrid also has variables, with centre-forward Kiko and youngster Cristiano Ronaldo both being the kind of players who can change the way they play on the pitch, so it's hard to guess what kind of changes the two managers will use. ā
'It's about 70 minutes now and we're seeing that both managers haven't moved. ā
"The fans in the stands are still shouting enthusiastically, and the fans on both sides are fighting their spirits. ā
"But we have to say that from the time Atletico Madrid equalized until now, the scene was indeed a bit dull, far less exciting than before, but this is the final, the final that no one wants to make mistakes easily. ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
A luxury stretched Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the Marriott Hotel near Manchester Airport and came to a steady stop at the gate.
The hotel lobby manager was obviously well aware of the guests and immediately greeted them.
The door opened, and the Slavs who had just left the Old Trafford stadium got out of the car.
"Welcome, Mr. Abramovich. ā
"Hello. The Slavs Abramovich responded politely.
On the other side, the English glasses also got out of the car.
"Hello, Mr. Harris. ā
Kesh Harris just nodded faintly, and in response, he briskly caught up with Abramovich.
"The takeover of the team is going well, the government and the fans have basically agreed to our acquisition, and I will quickly arrange for manpower to follow up, and I believe it can be completed by the end of the month. ā
Kesh Harris walked beside Abramovich and confidently gave an update on the project at hand.
He is one of the most well-known football investment experts in the City of London, running a bank specializing in sports investment projects, and he has been responsible for almost all foreign acquisitions of Premier League teams over the years.
That's why the Russian oligarch in front of him will go with him.
He was interested in Premier League teams and, after a few setbacks, selected London side Chelsea.
"You tell that old man that I am very unhappy with his behaviour and that he has to explain to me why the team suddenly decided to sell two key players after the winter break, and ended up in fifth place in the Premier League at the end of the season, not even in the Champions League!"
Roman Abramovich still looks to be in a bad mood from the Champions League final at Old Trafford, and the mention of Chelsea chairman Bates's bastards adds fuel to the fire.
On the contrary, as a football investment expert, Kesh Harris is a little used to it.
It all started when Roman Abramovich watched Atletico Madrid's game against Manchester United and decided to buy a Premier League side, and soon selected Chelsea for further negotiations.
Chelsea chairman Bates is also not good at stubble, and after learning that there is no way to make a big deal, Abramovich saw that he was so eager for the team, so he took advantage of the winter break to sell two players to cash out, hoping to maximize his own interests.
Unexpectedly, the team unexpectedly lost to Liverpool in the final Champions League place and missed the Champions League next season, which made Abramovich, who had decided to buy Chelsea, very dissatisfied.
He originally thought he was going to buy a Champions League team, but it turned out to be a League Cup team, who would want to?
As for Chelsea chairman Bates's approach, this is not unusual.
These presidents and bosses of the Premier League, for the sake of profit, what can't they do?
Bates is light!
Kesh Harris understands Abramovich's feelings, but he knows better that this kind of thing is not clear.
"If we get entangled in this matter again, I'm afraid that the deal will have to be delayed and we will probably miss the summer transfer window. ā
After hearing this, Abramovich shook his head hatefully and scolded, "The son of a bitch in England!"
After saying that, he walked towards the elevator.
Kesh Harris followed him and raised an eyebrow, as if he had forgotten that I was also English.
"You son of a bitch, Russian. ā
But just as Abramovich was about to enter the elevator, there was a movement at the front desk in the lobby.
ā¦ā¦
"Oops, Kaka...... I didn't hold it down!"
"What a pity!"
"If this goal goes in, Atletico Madrid will be reversed!"
"Kaka missed his hat-trick!"
ā¦ā¦
Abramovich paused, looked back in disbelief, and looked at Kesh Harris, "Did you hear that?"
"What?" said Kesh Harris, who thought he had heard what he had just muttered.
"No, live TV, Kaka, what's going on?"
With Kesh Harris in a daze, Abramovich couldn't bother with him, turned and walked quickly to the front desk.
Sure enough, there was a TV there, broadcasting the Champions League final live.
On the screen, it can still be seen that it is Atletico Madrid who is in control of the ball, and the person who holds the ball is Xavi Alonso, who is signaling his team-mate to press forward, and he is ready to launch a long pass.
There were a lot of people gathered at the front desk of the hotel, and they all looked very nervous.
"The score is ......" Abramovich leaned closer and narrowed his eyes, "...... Three to three?"
"What?" Kesh Harris, who was chasing behind, was also taken aback, "Three to three?"
"Is there a mistake?" Abramovich was stunned.
Wasn't it 0-3 in the first half, with Atletico Madrid behind?
Why is the score now 3-3? Could it be that Atletico Madrid is chasing three goals in a row?
How is this possible?
"Oh, what's the fuss, Atletico Madrid scored three goals in the first ten minutes to equalize the score, and now they are actively attacking and preparing for a reversal. Someone next to him explained impatiently.
"What?" Abramovich was shocked.
Immediately afterward, he regretted it.
From 0-3 to 3-3, how much did he miss?
Why leave the pitch so early?
"Who's going to score?" said Kesh Harris, stunned.
'Kaka, a brace and a Villa. The person next to him replied, and then he didn't forget to praise, "Atletico Madrid is so tenacious, they all lost to that share, and they can even equalize, and now they even have to reverse." ā
Abramovich and Kesh Harris were dumbfounded.
Seventy-two minutes on, the score was still 3-3, and the scene was controlled by Atletico Madrid, but they were never able to break through the AC Milan defence.
The two knew they had missed a golden opportunity to witness a classic Champions League final live.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
"It's been seventy-three minutes. ā
Inside Old Trafford, assistant coach Cantarero walked up to Gao Han's side and reminded.
Gao Han stood on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the court, only nodding and not speaking.
"A lot of players are doing their best, especially Kaka, it's very expensive, I'm afraid it's ......"
If Atletico Madrid's most dangerous player in the second half was definitely Kaka, all three equalisers came from his feet, but after AC Milan switched to a four-three-two-one, they stepped up their defense against him.
But even so, he still found a few opportunities and created a threat.
But it also comes at a cost of physical exertion.
The players up front are similar, with Villa and Torres also having a lot of consumption, as did Deco and Marcos Senna.
Of course, Atletico Madrid's players are huge, and AC Milan's players are no better.
The game has come to this, and the test of both sides is willpower and determination.
After listening to the assistant's report, Gao Han still didn't speak.
Cantarero was a little breathless, "Do you want us to change people again?"
After hearing this, Gao Han thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's not time yet." ā
"Isn't it time yet?"
"Well, wait. ā
Cantarero doesn't understand, it's been more than seventy minutes, why isn't it time?
Wait, when?
But he also understood that Gao Han had always done things in a measured manner and judged very accurately, so although he was full of doubts, he didn't say much, but he was always a little uneasy in his heart.
finally chased it to three to three, but don't go to the end and fall short.
"That's right, Carlos. ā
Cantarero, who turned to leave, stopped, "What's the matter?"
"Warm up the players on the bench and be ready to play, especially ......"
has been working with Gao Han for three years, and when he made a look, Cantarero understood what he meant, and immediately took the order.
It didn't take long for the players on the Atletico Madrid bench to take turns to warm up, looking like they were ready to make substitutions at any time, which made the fans in the stands full of excitement.
Everyone knows that Gao Han's on-the-spot command is comparable to art, and the substitution is called a magic, and it can almost be said that every substitution can rewrite the trend of the game.
In front of the away team's dugout, Carlo Ancelotti also noticed the movement on the Atletico Madrid bench.
"It's a smoke bomb. Ancelotti saw through Gao Han's little trick at a glance, "Pretending, so as to make a fool of yourself!"
But a difficult question had to arise in his mind.
Atletico Madrid is about to make a substitution, so will AC Milan take the lead or continue to respond to all changes with the same?
Whichever option you choose, it's definitely risky, especially when time is running out.
Another substitution is basically preparing for extra time and maybe even a penalty shootout.
Is that to change people first and disrupt Gao Han's thoughts, or wait for Gao Han to make the first move and then deal with it later?
Ancelotti hesitated. (To be continued.) )
