Chapter 291: Milan Wins the Championship Cup for the Seventh Time
The night sky of Athens is colored by the fireworks in the stands, which reflect the Aegean Sea and the beautiful face of the inner beauty. Beads of sweat oozed from the ends of the Ninth Master Inzaghi's long hair, hanging there like crystal clear rhinestones, each diamond reflecting the rainbow of fireworks.
"They're ...... Absolutely! Nami said.
In the last ten minutes of this Champions League final, Zhuo Yang and Kaka, who were no longer dizzy, danced in the midfield, and they firmly controlled the football at their feet and controlled all the lifeblood in these ten minutes.
Liverpool were forced to recycle all the way, even if they knew in their hearts that the score was now 3:1, they should attack with a cauldron, but it was not that they didn't want to, but they couldn't. How can you attack without the ball at your feet?
Under the guidance of Zhuo Yang and Kaka, the AC Milan team has been very adaptable to Liverpool's helpless scramble for the sake of the ball, not to mention that this kind of counter-robbery has long been without any strength and momentum, and the spirit is gone, let alone mental strength.
AC Milan deprived the English side of their spirits with their monkey-like mastery of the ball, and the courage they relied on to make a name for themselves in football was gone.
Milan, on the other hand, took the world's famous ball control to the extreme, and everyone was meticulous, with Zhuo Yang and Kaka as the core, and everyone else, including Andrea Pirlo, received the ball with one kick. Football was always pumped back and forth in the opposition half, away from Milan's penalty area, with Maldini and Nesta doing almost nothing.
All Milanese and the whole world know at this time that this title has been won by AC Milan for the seventh time, and there can be no more surprises. When Gilardino replaced Inzaghi in the 88th minute, the Milan fans at the Stadio Olimpico began to cheer, and the cheers have not stopped since.
The referee on duty held up the display sign for five minutes of stoppage time, which was booed by the audience, but this boo was filled with boundless joy.
Maldini had been relieved from the pinprick-like heat in his lungs, and the high-intensity bout was a bit too much for him to take on when he turned 39 in a month. If it continues with the intensity of terror in Liverpool's counter-attack, Maldini will not be able to sustain it. Thankfully, Liverpool's madness didn't last more than 10 minutes, and the ensuing stalemate lasted only 10 minutes, after which AC Milan completely reversed the tempo and gave him a very valuable recovery to keep going until this point in the game.
Maldini looked at Zhuo Yang, who was still pointing fingers and catching the ball in the front court, and he remembered the story of this kid who ran to his house at night and chatted after dinner.
In order to fight against the oracle from the temple of Apollo, Prince Theseus of the Aegean Kingdom resolutely rushed into the Cretan Labyrinth with a sword, killing the half-man, half-ox monster Minotaur, thus relieving the Aegean Kingdom of seven pairs of boys and girls as tribute every nine years.
In Maldini's view, today's Djoyang is the brave and wise Theseus.
AC Milan's team-mates and coaches on the bench were already standing on the sidelines, arm-in-arm, and those who were not on the squad were coming down from the stands, all waiting for the end of the day.
The Milan legend and former team-mates who were invited to Milan all gave a standing ovation, but only two of those invited were not in person, German national team leader Bierhoff and Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko.
Bierhoff smiled down on the grounds that he was busy with work, and Shevchenko needed to avoid suspicion because of the intensifying scandal with his old club. But both men have published enthusiastic wishes in the media, wishing AC Milan early to dominate Europe.
Zhuo Yang used a Marseille spin to bypass Colwill's absent-minded counter-attack, and casually took a few steps before passing to Kaka. Kaka dribbled forward, deceived Alonso, rolled over and led to the back, and then passed to Zhuo Yang, who had already been pulled to the side.
Zhuo Yang met the ball and feinted on the spot to trick Mascherano into falling out, and then stopped the ball firmly at his feet. At this time, the referee blew two long whistles, and the game was over.
Zhuo Yang picked up the football with his toes, turned it upside down on the spot, instep, arch of his feet, and the outside of his feet, took out crutches and kicked shuttlecocks. Seeing that the momentum was not right, he hurriedly circled around two flowers and drove the football into the stands of the Milan fans, and then was stopped by the eighth master Gattuso who roared and pounced and fell to the ground.
The city of Athens is full of fireworks!
.
AC Milan won the European Cup for the seventh time, a result behind Real Madrid, who have won the trophy nine times. Serie A also leads Europe with 11 titles, 10 in the Premier League and La Liga, and eight in the Bundesliga.
There is no disputing that Zhuo Yang was named the best player of the final. Standing in front of the dazzling backdrop of the logo, he talks eloquently in front of the camera.
"This championship belongs to all Milanese and belongs to AC Milan. Personally, I hope to share this honor with Scar Ribery, Grandpa Mertesacker, Pig Schweinsteiger, second brother Montolivo, Butcher de Jong, and hope to share this honor with the Six Musketeers of Madiburg, yes, the Six Musketeers of Madiburg. ”
Zhuo Yang is the first player to win the Champions Cup for two consecutive years on behalf of different teams after the Champions League restructuring, and he is the first person in a row. Today is Seedorf's fourth Champions League title, and although he is not the most active in the game, Maldini and Costacuta are fifth, Seedorf is the only person in world football today to have won the Champions League for all three clubs. Ajax 1995, Real Madrid 1998, AC Milan in 2003 and 2007.
Costacuta is now retired, and Maldini is the only player in football today to have five Champions League titles. Excluding them, only seven players such as Real Madrid's Di Stefano in football ancient times are also 5 times, after all, when the Champions League was first launched in the 50s, Real Madrid won 5 consecutive championships in one breath, and they caught up.
Now there is no football that can surpass Maldini, only the Real Madrid legend of that period, Hento, who has 6 times, the first person in the ages.
"Zhuo Yang, I really have to thank you, I can win the Champions League five times before retiring, and I can also get the field back in front of Liverpool by the way, I am content."
Maldini's words surprised Zhuo Yang: "Fuck, Brother Paul, are you going to retire?" Not yet! ”
Maldini's contract expires this summer, but he has expired many times in his life, and he has not returned to AC Milan to renew his contract without any obstacles, and this summer will certainly be no exception. Maldini is old but still brave, and Milan can't live without him.
Maldini knows how difficult it is to win the Champions League, and it takes the right people at the right time to have an idea. He doesn't think AC Milan will have the same kind of good fortune in the next year or two of the club's adjustment period.
"Paul, don't you want the sixth time, the seventh time?" Zhuo Yang smiled brightly.
