Chapter 685: A Record-Breaking Big Score

Forty-two-year-old Paulo Bento stood on the sidelines with his chest crossed, his eyes full of helplessness and desolation.

Bento, who only retired in 2004, is broadly speaking, the oldest player in Portugal's golden generation. A year after retiring from the sport, he became head coach at Sporting Lisbon, a position he continues to this day.

A week ago, Paulo Bento's Sporting Lisbon was beaten 5-0 at home by AC Milan, shocking European football and making today's game meaningless. But before the game, coach Bento still muttered.

He knew that AC Milan would definitely send a considerable number of substitutes, after all, the advantage in the first leg was so huge, and the main squad had just experienced a vicious battle with Inter Milan, so it was time to take the opportunity to rest, but this is what made Bento difficult.

5:0 is too much of a shame and it will be a stain on Bento's coaching career. Lisbon is not a third-rate small player, but a Portuguese Super League giant. Bento didn't expect to make a comeback in the second leg, that was unrealistic at all, and his only desire was to find some respectability.

It stands to reason that this battle should continue to send the full main lineup, and if you can win away, it will naturally save face. But what if you still don't win? Then there will be more saliva outside. Let's also learn from AC Milan to send a substitute, I'm afraid that the dignity will not be able to be found.

After thinking about it, Bento is still on the semi-main lineup, the main backline, but the central midfield can be regarded as the absolute main force of only two Moutinho and Vukcevi. The rest of Roshenbach, Leedson, Romagrino and others were on the bench.

However, as soon as the starting lists of both sides were announced before the game, Bento's heart was half cold, and he secretly said that something bad was going to happen today. AC Milan did come to the bench, and there was only one absolute main player, but this one was Zhuo Yang.

Zhuo Yang was strongly requested to play, and Ancelotti did not resist him. There is no way, Zhuo Yang just thinks that playing in the Champions Cup is more interesting than the league.

AC Milan said that it was a substitute lineup, but this ticket is still quite scary. Shevchenko is the single striker in front, with two forward midfielders Zoyang and Seedorf, three back midfielders Flamini, Emerson and Brocki, Antonini, Nesta, Sendros and Bonella in the back, and goalkeeper Dida.

Perhaps coach Paulo Bento transmitted his hesitation to his team, and after a symbolic resistance and harassment by Sporting Lisbon after the opening kick-off, he quickly became distracted. In San Siro, inattention is a self-defeating move.

In the 7th minute, Zhuo Yang distributed the ball to Flamini on the left side at the edge of the penalty area, and after he reflexively ran to get rid of Tornell, the football was duly smoothed back by the understanding Matthew. Zhuo Yang then stepped on the line of the big penalty area with his left foot and shot hard, and the football hung in the dead corner of the goal, 1:0.

From this goal, Bento was not calm, because he suddenly felt bad, very bad.

He spent the rest of the day in fear, with AC Milan's incisive midfield keeping the Lisbon squad busy like a swarm of spinning tops. Fortunately, although goalkeeper Patricio is young, he also looks like he has seen a big scene, and he has a high resistance to keep the goal from losing.

Zhuo Yang played against this Sporting Lisbon team, and after the Pigs left Madibourg, he led the team to the final of the UEFA Cup in the 04-05 season, when they won 4-1 against Sporting Lisbon.

In that game, the old captain of Lisbon, Barbosa, was so tired that he cramped and almost didn't die in order to keep an eye on Zhuo Yang all over the court, and Zhuo Yang also volunteered to help him stretch for a long time, and he was more tired than playing. Four years have passed, and Balbosa retired as early as the summer of '06, but he has never said thank you to Zhuo Yang.

In the 34th minute, the second goal finally arrived. Brockie hoisted the ball wide into the box and gave it a little wide, and the 21-year-old young Lisbon goalkeeper Patricio came out to pick up the ball in the air but collided with central defender Anderson Polgar. It's a matter of cooperation, and it's a question of young goalkeepers who haven't seen enough in the world and whose football has lost sight of their own squeezing and distraction.

Near the penalty spot, the football was inexplicably collapsed here, but Zhuo Yang was already waiting.

The two decayed goods were still lying on the ground into a lump, Zhuo Yang simply rose in the air, and the goshawk hit the air like a barb, not giving Patricio a chance to correct his mistakes at all, 2:0.

Just five minutes later, Zambrotta whipped in a corner from the right, and Polgar, who had just made a mistake, made another mistake and headed the ball straight into his own net under pressure from Shev's forehead. Oolong feast, but disrespectful, 3:0.

The coolness in Coach Bento's heart has spread to his internal organs, and he has a refrigerator in his stomach. He confirmed that his ominous premonition was correct: it was not a good day, and he did not know if we would be able to return to Portugal alive.

Worried, but his players suddenly gave Bento a shot in the arm.

In the 42nd minute, Sporting Lisbon took advantage of the laxity after AC Milan's goal, Moutinho received a pass from Jannico and shot from the edge of the penalty area. 3:1。

In fact, it's okay not to enter, but if you do, it has become a provocation that will not help.

A minute after the restart, Zhuo Yang received an inverted triangle pass from Zambrotta at the top of the arc and volleyed into another goal. Zhuo Yang has always felt that it is easier to score goals in the Champions Cup than in Serie A, and scored a hat-trick at half-time, Zhuo Yang said to the whole of Europe: Your uncle is still your uncle.

No one dares to believe it!

AC Milan eventually beat Sporting Lisbon 7-1 at home, and before being replaced by Ronaldinho in the 70th minute, Zhuo Yang received Shevchenko's header in front of goal and scored his fourth goal of the game, bringing the total number of goals scored in this Champions League to 14.

Shevchenko and Seedorf scored one goal each in the 62nd and 82nd minutes, respectively.

The two legs were 12:1, which set a record for the largest disparity and the largest score in the knockout round since the Champions League was restructured. Zhuo Yang and AC Milan came to the rescue of Werder Bremen, whose record of losing 2:10 in the 04-05 Champions League round of 16 came to an end. In that round of the game, the Bremen pants were gone, and Zhuo Yang was embarrassed to call to comfort Klose.

After the game, how coach Paulo Bento and his team went back to Lisbon with their faces covered, Zhuo Yang didn't care at all, he only cared about the results of some other games.

In Athens away, Madiburg defeated Panathinaikos 2-1 with goals from Erwa Muller and Troll Gomez to advance to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 3-2.

At the Estadio Alpi in Turin, Juventus led twice, Didier Drogba and Ribery twice stubbornly equalised, and Chelsea advanced 3-2 on aggregate.

Bayern Munich, who suffered a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in the previous leg, were better than Sporting Lisbon, and Toney's goal gave them a 1-1 draw with Barcelona at the Allianz Stadium, leaving some dignity and Barcelona advancing 5-1.

Bayern left the pants, but Real Madrid lost everything, Anfildri and they were killed by Liverpool 4-0, the game ended Casillas wept bitterly, and the butcher De Jong smashed a chair in the dressing room.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened his way, he scored his first goal in this Champions League; Mertesacker's grandfather opened his beard, and scored with a header from a corner kick in the 3rd minute; Second Brother Meng hasn't opened his beard yet, and he hasn't even gotten on.

Manchester United advanced to the quarter-finals, and Inter Milan brought in Mourinho just to make a breakthrough in the Champions Cup, and this time, Mancini can smile very contemptuously.

Juventus stopped, and Inter Milan also stopped in the round of 16. Roma and Arsenal were 1-1 at home, and the final penalty shoot-out was not decided until the eighth round, with Toneto shooting a shot to send Arsenal to the next round.

AC Milan, the only remaining achievement in Serie A, has once again become the dignity of the Apennines in Europe.
