Chapter 679: Five-Goal Victory Over Lisbon
The game had been played for 90+3 minutes, and there was a dead silence at the Alvalad Stadium. Zhuo Yang drove the ball into the middle circle and AC Milan's counter-attack came in like mercury.
After a one-two with Beckham, Zhuo Yang picked the ball into the penalty area, Seedorf received the ball and fired a low shot, and Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Thiago sat on the ground and stretched out his leg to block the ball, but the ball was blocked back at Seedorf's feet. Lao Xi'er calmly made up for the shot, and it was difficult for Thiago to return to the sky.
The score was 0:5, with the home team in front and the away team behind.
No one expected a Champions League 1/8 final to be played like this, with AC Milan beating Sporting Lisbon to pieces on the road. And the turning point of this game came in the last minute of the first half.
AC Milan were lucky in the 08-09 Champions League last-16 draw, drawing Sporting Lisbon, an ideal opponent. Madiburg had the best life, they drew Panathinaikos. Bayern were a bit unlucky, and Piggy met Barcelona. Manchester United and Inter met in a narrow way, and the second brother and his grandfather were in the same room.
If Real Madrid wants to break the fate of the Champions League sixteen in recent years on Liverpool, they need to work hard. De Jong, the butcher, thinks it should be fine, but he says so every year. Chelsea met Juventus, and Scar Ribery said he wanted to kill Buffon without leaving a single piece of armor.
Serie A has been doing well this year, with all four teams reaching the round of 16 and Roma going head-to-head against Arsenal. The Premier League and La Liga are all four, the Bundesliga is two, and the Portuguese Super League Greece has the other two.
Zhuo Yang came to Portugal with a stomach full of breath, and this breath has been held for almost ten days.
Nine days ago at the Yokohama National Athletic Stadium, the Chinese team lost 2:3 to Japan, and their group qualification form immediately became grim. After five rounds, the Japanese team has accumulated 10 points with 3 wins and 1 draw, Australia has 7 points with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss after defeating Bahrain 1-0 at home on the same day, and the Chinese team has 5 points with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss.
Halfway through the schedule, Zhuo Yang had to start thinking about the possibility of play-offs, and the national team's intelligence and information department also began to strengthen the data analysis of Group B teams and New Zealand. There are 4.5 World Cup places in the Asian zone, the top two teams in the two groups will qualify directly, and the two third places will compete for the half of the place in the final battle with the champion of Oceania.
The game was very embarrassing, and the Japanese team's passing and cutting coordination and tactical awareness were completely European, and they were only inferior to the second-rate European teams in physical confrontation and heading, but the Chinese team also had no advantage in these two aspects. Japan's first goal was scored by their centre-back, captain Yuji Nakazawa, from a corner kick in the 43rd minute.
This lost goal, Wu Hao failed to keep an eye on Yuji Nakazawa's run, and Li Weifeng was also defeated by him in the air.
To add insult to injury, as soon as the second half began, Wu Hao was punished for pulling people to foul after being broken by Keiji Yutian, and Jie Shuai could only let Sun Jihai go back to fill it. In this way, the Japanese midfield led by Shunsuke Nakamura has the advantage.
But even if it was difficult, Zhuo Yang also used a corner kick to equalize the score in the 55th minute. But just 6 minutes later, Sun Jihai fouled in the penalty area and gave Japan a penalty, and Shunsuke Nakamura hit the corner to let the score exceed again.
In the 80th minute, Zhuo Yang broke through and caused a foul on Tanaka Doukasa King, and he directly broke through Masao Chiefaki with a free kick from 30 meters away to equalize again. An away draw was acceptable, with Zhuo Yang commanding a team with one less man to defend aggressively in the half, and then threatening the Japanese goal with a counter-attack. The Japanese team, out of fear of Zhuo Yang, also seemed to gradually accept the draw, and they also guarded the midfield and the Chinese team.
However, entering the full-time injury time, when goalkeeper Wang Dalei received a pass from Shao Jia, he inexplicably went empty, allowing the football to swing through the past, and was caught up by the alert Shinji Okazaki, picking up an empty goal in vain.
Last month in Xi'an, Wang Dalei was second only to Zhuo Yang in the team's draw with Australia, but in Yokohama, his mistake wiped out China's tenacious efforts throughout the game. The Nerve Knife goalkeeper is like this, angels and demons are always in the same thought.
Wang Dalei cried with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to die immediately. The eyes of his teammates, especially the veteran, were full of unkindness, if Zhuo Yang hadn't taken the initiative to comfort him, he might have been beaten up when he returned to the locker room.
Crying more fiercely than Wang Dalei is the coach of the Japanese team, Takeshi Okada, who has been feeling the palpitations brought by Zhuo Yang for 90 minutes, and can win Zhuo Yang's blood in the national team, so that the local coach who has been under domestic pressure can't help but cry.
Zhuo Yang is the captain, he has to keep this team together, and he has never been in the habit of blaming his teammates. He knew that his teammates did their best, Wu Hao tried his best, and so did Wang Dalei, they were indeed at this level.
However, of course, Zhuo Yang would not know the story of a Chinese named Huang Chengjun in Yokohama, and he did not know that he would have a deep intersection with Huang Chengjun in the future. After the game, Zhuo Yang returned directly to Milan from Japan, with unwilling resentment.
originally wanted to sprinkle this tone on the opponent Reggina in the 23rd round of Serie A, but it backfired, and the game made Zhuo Yang even more depressed.
Reggina are currently in the bottom of the table, and it is estimated that they will go to the second division after the summer, however, it really fulfills the saying that there are no weak teams in Serie A, AC Milan stumbled at home, and they were not at all calm.
In fact, after the international break, the giants are not afraid to meet the giants, everyone's core players are running back and forth, and no one can take advantage of anyone, for fear of meeting the middle and lower reaches of kraft candy. There are few or no internationals in these teams, and it's really not an ordinary headache to come over and play with you after enough rest.
Zhuo Yang was holding back to kill in this game, but he didn't put a single fart in after 90 minutes. Kaka and Inzaghi were successful, but Reggina didn't give Milan any good fruit, Di Gennaro scored a goal from distance in the first half, and then in stoppage time, Corradi dribbled past Zambrotta and volleyed from a tight angle to give Milan a three-point point.
What annoyed Zhuo Yang even more was that in the 66th minute of the second half, Kaka sprained his knee and had to be out of action for at least two weeks for the post-match examination.
didn't win, didn't score, and was injured by his old friend, so Zhuo Yang's breath was held until Lisbon. Before he came, he approached Carlo Ancelotti: I want to play as a striker, I want to score.
So, in this game, Zhuo Yang and Jiu Ye appeared on the front line, followed by Ronaldinho and Seedorf, and then Pirlo and Ambrosini.
In fact, the first half of the game with Lisbon was quite close, and they were not a weak team, especially in defense, Sporting Lisbon conceded the fewest goals in the Portuguese Super League this season. In the first half, Zhuo Yang and Jiu Ye's attacks were also blocked in turn, and Lisbon also threatened Dida with several shots.
However, when the first half was about to enter stoppage time, Zhuo Yang made a long drive through the three people and shot through Thiago, so that the dignified iron curtain finally showed a gap, and Lisbon had to attack in the second half.
Then, in the 57th minute, Xiao Luo crossed from the right, Zhuo Yang grabbed the point and shook his head to attack the goal, and the ninth master Inzaghi at the back point blocked the ball with a small belly, 2:0. Zhuo Yang asked with concern: Does Little Ninth Master hurt? Inzaghi held his breath and ignored him.
In the 63rd minute, Milan made a comeback, Jankulovski burst into the box and was tripped by Tonel, and Zhuo Yang played Thiago with a spoon penalty, 3-0.
In the 84th minute, Zhuo Yang changed to the left side and crossed into the penalty area, and Jiu Ye instantly moved from behind Perelinha to in front of him, and a dashing header turned the score into 4:0.
Finally, Seedorf added the icing on the cake, a scoreline that made AC Milan's run to the quarter-finals a foregone conclusion, with the second leg at home in a week running out of suspense and the main focus on the midweek derby with Inter Milan.
