Chapter 422: An Oolong Recorded in History
"Troll, thank you! Keep up the good work, I'm optimistic about you. Tranquino Barnetta said with a hippie smile at Mario Gomez.
Barnetta's goal is of great significance, as it represents the Champions League victory for all Madiburg players except Zhuo Yang, and it is a reminder to other giants: we are not relying on Zhuo Yang alone to score. This shows that other teams, especially the Rangers in front of them, will only think that everything will be fine if Zhuo Yang is blocked, and it will be a big mistake.
"I don't believe it yet......" Gomez replied to Barnetta with a sour and grieving expression.
It's not easy for musketeers! As the second strongest firepower point in the team, it seems to be rushing with the Champions Cup, and the method is exhausted, but it is always missed by the goal. In the previous six group games, he had a lot of shots on goal, but he couldn't pry open the goal, and no one could explain it, which was quite weird.
Gomez is determined to make a clean break against Rangers as they are the weakest team in the last 16 of the Champions League.
On paper, Rangers are undoubtedly the ideal opponents for Madiburg, who cheered after the draw was announced on December 18 last year. Although Klopp only showed cautious optimism, he still sent a three-striker attacking formation away from home today, and his ambition to make a final decision was fully demonstrated.
Who knows, after the draw results came out that day, Glasgow Rangers were also as happy as the New Year. In the eyes of the Scottish, Madiburg is undoubtedly the youngest of the eight group winners and the least European experience. Although they are as vigorous as ever on the pitch, the young Madiburg is naturally the opponent that the second place in every group wants to meet compared to the other old powerhouses.
Rangers head coach McLeishm is counting on Madiburg to revive his already precarious position and he fielded the strongest squad on his cards today, with even the newly injured Croatian striker Pulsau starting the game.
There are many late players in world football, and Poolau is undoubtedly one of them. The 32-year-old did not attract some attention until he was 28 years old, and in the 03-04 Champions League group stage, Monaco defeated Deportivo La Coruna 8-3, and Poolau scored four goals alone, becoming the wonder scorer who holds the Champions League single-game goal record with Van Basten, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Inzaghi and Shevchenko.
The Poolau man is tall and rough under his feet, but his striking character is also in line with the style of Scottish football. In the 23rd minute, after the Rangers' corner kick was destroyed by Madiburg, Hemdani got a long pass from the backfield, Hamsik cleared the ball with a header but pushed the ball to the middle, Danish winger Lowenkrans grabbed the second drop point and rubbed his head to Poolau, Poolau volleyed the outside of his right foot into the upper right corner from 24 meters in front of the goal, and the two sides returned to the horizontal line 1:1.
.
I don't know why, but Lord Ferguson also ran to the stands at the Ebrox Stadium to watch the game today, and I don't know who he wanted to watch, or if he was angry that Madiburg eliminated his Manchester United from the competition.
Ferguson, who played as a striker when he was a player, spent three years at Rangers and was the top scorer here, and he is a Scotsman and native of Glasgow, where he was born to primary school and experienced his first love. According to himself, the lord was a die-hard fan of Rangers in his youth.
In the 35th minute of the game, Zhuo Yang ran all the way on the left wing, and the clumsy Scots were like beech stakes in front of him, and Hemdani, Booker, and Smith fell off the horse one after another. Compared with the Bundesliga and La Liga, Zhuo Yang prefers the British, and it is a string of joy.
Those who know Zhuo Yang's style know that this is the rhythm of entering his coquettish killing, and it is also a bug in the football world. The Rangers' bucket defense hurriedly concentrated on Zhuo Yang's side, and Zhuo Yang also stuck the football to his feet, straight to Gil Jarkos. When the two were less than two meters apart, the style of painting suddenly changed, Zhuo Yang didn't even raise his head, and slammed the football and passed it horizontally to Hamsik on the other side.
In the stands, Ferguson immediately secretly shouted: Praise!
The lord really sighed at Zhuo Yang's cleverness, and his skills were easy to say, but Zhuo Yang's IQ on the field really made Ferguson itch. Never show cowardice when he should be tough, and never be tough when he should be a chicken thief, this is what he admires most about Zhuo Yang. Except for the occasional personal smug on the field, in the eyes of the lord, Zhuo Yang is a perfect player, in the history of football.
The wanderers who are like a great enemy have formed a defensive chain, ring after ring, even if Zhuo Yang passes all the way forward, he will always be surrounded or delayed by opponents who fall and get up one after another. It's easy to say, but anyone who has ever played football knows how hard it can be to wake up from an adrenaline-pumping breakout. Zhuo Yang's handling just now was obviously intentional for a long time, and the three of them before were foreplay and temptation.
Hamsik successfully cut to the front of the penalty area, and the Wanderers have the responsibility to defend the territory, each pushing their own grind, Zhuo Yang has two people in front of him, Gomez has one person, and Hamsik himself has been blocked by the two of them to advance attempts. But there are equal numbers on the pitch, and if you defend more here and in other places, you will naturally miss people, and what Rangers missed is Dionysian Zhirkov.
After receiving the ball, Zhirkov slotted into the box unhindered and fired a heartfelt shot from 12 yards, and Watreeus was so shocked that he could only watch the ball go into the net.
At 2:1, Madiburg's teammates came up to Zhirkov to say hello, and he did a good job of pressing his left palm and right fist.
"Congratulations...... Zhirkov became the third man in Madiburg's history to score in the Champions League, which will surely go down in history.
Or is it only Gomez who is so depressed that the wind blows to the sky. "Zhuo Yang, do you understand my longing heart?"
"I know, I know, hurry up, I'm busy......"
It's so interesting, Barnetta and Zhirkov both scored in the Champions League, but that's not the end of it, the fourth to score in the Champions League in Madiburg was on the verge of scoring in the second half, and it was still not Gomez.
The bold defense is so strange to describe, but the Rangers used this kind of wide-open defense to never concede a goal again, and held on until the 82nd minute of the game.
Barry Ferguson's 45-degree diagonal cross was not a threat, but the ball was a little back and a little chasing, and David Luiz had a brain cramp and stretched his leg back to clear the ball with a scorpion tail, which is actually a technical move that he is very familiar with. But today, the creation made people kick like this, and the football hit the back of his outside foot and deflected directly into the goal.
Handanovic: "......"
.
With this 2-2, Madiburg drew away in the first Champions League knockout game in the club's history.
"Brother Zhuo, I'...... Stupid. ”
"Puffy ,...... Congratulations ......"
