Three days later, on a day later known as "Singles' Day", Milan had another tough battle at home.

Lazio travelled to San Siro with a two-goal advantage, while Milan had one away goal but the situation was extremely difficult overall.

Bierhoff is suspended for a yellow card, and Murfio and Ganzi are used up front; Costacuta was temporarily injured and Ayala started at centre-back; Albertini and Boban, who started in midfield, also had some minor injuries.

Lazio played almost in its entirety, and although it was away, it was just a draw for them.

In the 37th minute of the game, Milan, who were playing at home, finally scored in the 37th minute.

Ziggy's cross from the flank, Weah in front of him attracted a large number of defenders, and Ganzi's header at the back post gave Milan a 1-0 lead.

The appearance of the goal made Milan fans addicted, and even saw the possibility of appearing at one point. After all, as long as they score a goal, 2-0 Milan can advance by virtue of the away goal advantage.

"One more, Milan, one more!"

"We only need one more to advance to the round of 16!"

"Don't worry about the defense, we have Ou, he can handle everything!"

Under the cries of the fans, Zaccheroni also decisively gave the order to attack.

The 3 forward lineups all started and launched a fierce attack on Lazio, who were playing away.

This offensive continued into the second half, when the fans' cries were at their highest, and Marcelo Marcelo, the South American footballer who had just said goodbye to River Plate. Salas gave the Milan fans a slap in the face.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, a simple free kick was coordinated, and Salas, one of the Chilean double Sa, got Mihajlovic in the penalty area steadily, stopped the ball on his chest and turned to shoot without waiting for the ball to hit the ground. Although Ou Chuliang tried his best to make a save, he could not prevent the goal from happening.

With a 1-1 draw, the two sides are back to square one.

The problems exposed by Milan have once again worried the fans.

After the score was levelised, Zaccheroni replaced Boban and Murphyo in succession and replaced two attackers. For the team, this is the only time to chase goals.

The effort paid off, and Milan struck half a point, and in the 86th minute, substitute Leonardo fell to the ground in front of the six-yard box under the help of two defenders, and no one expected him to deliver the final blow in this way.

Balota couldn't react when his powerful but angled shot rolled into the bottom left corner of the Lazio goal.

After the goal, Leonardo didn't care about the pain in his body, forced himself to get up and rushed into the net, picked up the ball and ran back.

At this time, all the Milan players followed him and ran towards their own half of the field together.

"One more, one more, one more!"

“FORZA MILAN! FORZA MILAN! FORZA MILAN!”

The chanting of the fans drowned out the entire San Siro, and even the Blue Eagles fans watching the game away were nervous.

Milan had already put the momentum on the ball, and although the goal came a little late, there were still five, six, seven or eight minutes left in stoppage time. If it is scored again at this time, it will definitely be a fatal blow for Lazio.

Milan is likely to use this momentum to score a golden goal, let alone a penalty shootout.

As a result, the only 3,000-odd Lazio fans also shouted, hoping to use their "weak" voice to help the visitors hold on to the end.

Milan were in full swing, even Maldini pressed the front line to participate in the assist, Lazio turned into a bombing zone in front of the goal, and almost every minute there was a burst of fire from Milan. Even Ou Chuliang rushed out of his own penalty area to help pick up the ball that was cleared to the back by the opponent's big foot.

The game went to the 93rd minute, the penultimate minute of injury time.

Albertini had his back to the ball in front of him, and although he had a good passing route, he didn't have Boban's footwork, so he had to turn a little before he could get the ball out.

The Lazio centre-back could not have allowed Albertini to succeed easily, jamming the position behind him, preventing him from turning, and at the same time pulling his shirt as much as possible, keeping him leaning back.

The two were anxious for three seconds, seeing that the passing channel was about to be "closed", Albertini, who was in a hurry, forced to turn around and pass the ball with his feet, even if he was injured and fell to the ground.

The hard work paid off, Albertini's sudden outburst made Confeição, who had just arrived this season, unable to pull it anymore, and subconsciously fell to the ground to put the tackle, and even someone shoveled the ball to the ground.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blew and a yellow card was shown above Conceição's head, then the red one was raised.

This is his second yellow card of the game!

There was chaos in front of the Lazio penalty area, and the players surrounded the referee in the hope that he would change his decision; The Milan players also gathered together to discuss how to take a free kick that was in a decent position. The fans in the stands also did their best to cheer for the players on the field. If Milan take advantage of this opportunity, Milan, who dragged the game into extra time, will not have a problem winning the Blue Eagles at home with a one-man advantage.

This free-kick is about 234 meters from the goal, on the right side of the middle, and can be passed and shot. After Boban came off the field, three of the players ran to the ball and introduced themselves to Maldini.

At this moment, Zaccheroni, who was on the sidelines, suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted into the stadium. Vaguely, Ou Chuliang felt as if he was calling his name.

"What is the coach shouting?" Looking at Zaccheroni, who couldn't stop waving at him, Ou Chuliang hesitated.

"The coach told you to rush up again!" Ngoti, who was leaning on the side, heard it a little more clearly, and hurriedly shouted to Ou Chuliang in the air.

After receiving the order, Ou Chuliang did not hesitate, directly raised his arm, and strode forward. In fact, he was also hesitating to rush forward at this time, and now that he has the coach's arrangement, of course he abandoned the door.

By the time the camera cameras spotted Ou Chuliang, he had already run across the halfway line and was running towards the Lazio half.

"Ou is out!"

"Now it has come to the most critical moment for Milan, and even Ou, who is at the back of Milan, has run to the front!"

"Milan is going to make a last stand!"

"Will Ou's sortie be effective?"

"Will Ou deal a fatal blow to Lazio?"

"Will Ou save Milan again?"

At the commentator's excited shout, Ou Chuliang accelerated again and rushed towards the Lazio penalty area.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly grabbed Ou Chuliang's arm.

"Captain, you..."

Without waiting for Ou Chuliang to finish speaking, Maldini pushed Ou Chuliang with an eager face, and then pointed to the fairway: "You ran through, there!" ”

As he spoke, he ran into the penalty area together with three teammates with strange eyes, and chose a scrum point in the Lazio penalty area.

"There?"

"What's the situation?"

Ou Chuliang's head was full of question marks.

He looked at the ball Maldini was pointing at, then at Zaccheroni's abruptly changed gesture on the sidelines, and was stunned again.

"Me?" Achurion pointed to his chin with his index finger, and Zaccheroni's swinging finger immediately turned into a thumbs-up. Supplemented by a non-stop nod, Ou Chuliang finally understood what the coach wanted to do for himself.

You want me to take this free kick???

Ou Chuliang touched his head, and after confirming it again, without saying a word, he went straight to the ball, bent down, seriously looked for the valve core, and placed the ball in a good position.

Achurion knew that from the moment he ran on the pitch and came to the ball, Zaccheroni was actually ready for anything.

Even if the ball was played in poor quality, bounced off the wall and was hit back by the Lazio players, with Zaccheroni's nod, the pot would not have been buckled on Ouchulian.

To live up to Zaccheroni's trust, Acchulian must take this opportunity's precious free-kick seriously.

At this time, Lazio's human wall has been laid out, counting the Milan players, this human wall is as long as nine people!

And when all eight Milan players squeezed into the box, the Lazio box instantly became crowded. Barota stood on the goal line, unable to move.

Ou Chuliang stood alone in front of the ball, and only Ngotty was left with only one defender behind him. Ayala stood not far away in front of the big penalty line, and Milan's backfield was empty, and there was no one.

When Milan fans saw this scene, they couldn't help but drop their jaws.

"Oh my God? What was Zaccheroni thinking? Actually let Ou Lai take this free kick? ”

"Couldn't Albertini? Why not pick someone else? ”

"Could this be Zaccheroni's secret weapon? Did he still have a hand? ”

Looking at Ou Chuliang standing in front of the ball, suspicion arose in the stands.

At this time, even Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu were shocked, and the two glanced at each other, constantly recalling in their minds.

Has Acchulian ever taken a free kick in the national team?

How is Ou Chuliang's footwork in the national team?

"Uh... It's incredible! ”

"At the end of the game, it was almost Milan's last chance to attack."

"AC Milan boss Zaccheroni actually asked our youngster Ceulion to kick this crucial goal."

"It's incredible..."

"Will he be able to withstand the pressure?"

After a spectacular Milan derby, Acchulian's status in the hearts of Milan fans skyrocketed. Even if he has been in Napoli before and has made a lot of limelight in the World Cup, he can't match a Milan derby with a clean sheet.

Now when they see him standing in front of the ball, fans seem to have an inexplicable confidence in their hearts.

Perhaps, China Ou really has this footwork!

"Think of Ou's long pass from the back, almost point-to-point!" Some fans began to look for a reliable basis for Ou Chuliang's free kick this time.

"Yes, Ou's footwork is not bad at all! When I peeked at the players training at Milanello, I saw Ou practice free kicks! ”

"Yes, yes, I saw it too!"

People are also clouds, and false rumors are spread.

After many fans patted their chests and packed tickets, the "grapevine" of "Ou Chuliang is Milan's secret weapon for free kicks" spread far and wide, and fans also began to make up for the scene of Ou Chuliang standing in front of the ball and practicing free kicks when they peeked at Milan training.

In fact, this is just the imagination of the fans.

It is true that Acchulian often takes free-kicks from outside the box, but that is not practicing free-kick footwork, but practicing saving with Abbiati and others.

It is normal for goalkeepers to practice by shooting at each other.

However, for Ou Chulian himself, he did use such an opportunity to fix his foot in order to kick a more standard free kick. And Zaccheroni, after observing Ouchulian and Abbiati practicing in this way, also had a new impression of Ouchulian's footwork. At least in their opinion, Ouchuliang's free-kick footwork has surpassed that of most of the Milan team.

The main free-kicker, Boban, has been substituted, and it is now Milan's last chance. Coupled with the fact that Ou Chuliang's height and size really don't play much role in the opponent's penalty area, Zaccheroni made this "bold" idea after comprehensive consideration.

And the rest of the coaching staff nodded in support of the decision.

As for the "secret weapon", it is nothing, and it is understandable to do so once in an emergency. Although Zaccheroni supported the goalkeeper to participate in the game, he really let Acchulian take Milan's free kick every time, and he did not have the courage and courage.

The madman Iquita has already proven at the World Cup that goalkeepers rushing out of the box to dribble or participate in attacks are a dead act, and Zaccheroni will not dare to follow in Colombia's footsteps.

"Come on, Ou, show your true strength, and let everyone witness the glory of God again!"

Zaccheroni clenched his fists on the sidelines, not only cheering for Ouchulian, but also cheering for his decision.

The game has come to this point, everything that can be done for a manager has been done.

In the stands, Crudelli, a mad Milan die-hard, waved the flag in his hand desperately, and he almost worshipped Milan. After the derby victory, he trusted the team almost unconditionally, in the players on the pitch.

"Ou will enter!"

"I believe in Ou!"

"Ou will save Milan again!"

"Ou is the God of Milan, the God of Milan!!"

"Beep !!"

In the midst of a wild shout, the referee finally blew the whistle in his mouth.

Stoppage time was up, but players from both sides wasted time squeezing around in the box, and the referee began to consider whether to extend it for another minute or so.

Of course, all this depends on how Ou Chuliang takes the free kick.

If his shot had been saved by the Lazio goalkeeper, he would have at least given the corner.

As for whether it was a pass or a shot, he already knew it to Ou Chuliang.

ZACCHERONI'S IDEA WAS IMMEDIATELY APPARENT TO HIM, AND IT WAS NOT FOR HIM TO GET TOO MUCH OF A SHOT ADDICTION, BUT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NUMBER ADVANTAGE BROUGHT BY THE GOALKEEPER TO ASSIST HIS TEAMMATES TO SCORE. This is actually not much different from rushing into the opponent's penalty area to win the top.

And there is another advantage of taking a free-kick yourself, that is, you can run back to your own penalty area in the shortest time and keep it with your hands. If you rush to the opponent's penalty area to win the top, then if the opponent gets the ball and counterattacks, it is almost powerless.

So Ou Chuliang already had a conclusion in his mind after the players on both sides stood up.

Run-up, kick-up, leg swing, foot fixation, calf force, bang!

Even after touching the ball, Ou Chuliang's right leg is still tense, maintaining the appearance of touching the ball. And the right leg did not continue to stretch forward with the ball, and this small arch forward test shot was enough to make the flying ball go over the whole wall.

"Fly over there!!"

Seeing that Mihajlovich, who jumped high, did not touch the ball no matter how much he stretched his neck, Ouchu was happy in his conscience, and the ball had been successful for most of the time.

The box was already crowded, and no matter which teammate it was passed to, it would be strongly interfered with by the Lazio defenders. What's more, Bierhoff, who has the most powerful header in Milan, is not yet on the field, and Acchulian actually has no passing target, which is why Zaccheroni asked him to take a free kick but did not give him a deadly task to pass to.

It all depends on Ouchuliang's ability to read the game and whether Ouchulian can find the laxity in Lazio's defense in the penalty area.

After Ou Chuliang's observation, there was only one defender next to Helwig behind the rightmost wall, and on the other side of his Pancaro was his teammate Donadoni. In an emergency, Pancaro is likely to use Donadoni as his defender, and Helwig is likely to run out of space.

And the hardest part of this pass is how to kick the ball over the wall.

Now, Ou Chuliang has done just that.

"Cross!"

"Ou kicked the ball over the wall..."

"Thomas!"

Amid the hoarse roar of Milan's home commentator, Helwig leaped high and headed the ball.

To be honest, Helweig really hasn't had such a practice with Ou Chuliang in his usual training, and it is even more unlikely that there will be any code between the two. So he didn't expect Ou Chuliang to really pass the ball to himself on the outside, and he didn't even expect Ou Chuliang to pass the ball above the human wall.

When he saw the ball flying, his body had already subconsciously jumped up and met the ball high with his forehead.

Bang!

Hellwig struck a lion's head in the air and slammed the bottom of the ball. In the next second, the black and white ball flew high into the far corner of the Lazio goal.

At the moment of Hellwig's header, Maldini, Weah and Ganzi burst out of the crowd to meet their team-mate's header. But halfway through the charge, he stopped, watching as Barotta leaped high and reached for the ball.

Boom!

Whew, blah, kick...

After a series of crunching sounds, Weah, just below the crossbar at the far post, watched as the ball on the crossbar bounced a few times before flying off the line from the outside.

"Beep!! Beep beep !! ”

Since it was Lazio's goalball, the referee didn't care about it anymore, and a whistle blew to end the game.

"Whoop!!

All Lazio fans stood up and blue fans hugged each other as they celebrated their team's qualification to the quarter-finals.

Hellwig held his head, and he regretted it the moment he hit the goal with his header, as he saw the distance between himself and the goal, and the three team-mates who had come out of goal.

"What am I shooting myself for? How good is the pass?! ”

The Danish full-back covered his face and fell to his knees, letting out an unwilling whimper.

The cries of the Milan fans came to an abrupt halt at the moment of the whistle, and everyone froze in place, watching the ball bounce up and bounce until it hit the billboard and stopped.

Fresh from winning the derby, they couldn't believe that their team had been eliminated so early in the Coppa Italia.

Seeing this, the helpless Zaccheroni also sighed: "The fans' expectations for the team are too high, and he is not a real god after all!" ”
