Chapter 283: Ten Minutes of Hypocrisy
Before the age of seventeen, all of Zhuo Yang's impressions of Greece came from the book "Greek Myths and Legends" that he read when he was a child. At that time, his biggest doubt was that he couldn't understand why Promethean went to the sacred mountain of Olympus to steal fire, and couldn't he drill wood to make fire? That's what the Flint did.
Zhuo Yang went to ask his father, and Zhuo Tongtong told him that because Zeus thought that humans were not worthy of fire, he could only steal it. However, Zhuo Yang still felt that Prometheus was stupid.
Zhuo Yang was very fond of the brave and clever prince of the Aegean, Theseus, who killed the monster Mino Ox and saved the children of the whole country. It's a pity that his father thought he was dead and was so sad that he jumped into the Aegean Sea.
But her mother, Yang Hong, said that the Aegean Sea did not come from that, and the Aegean Sea came from music and love. So, Xiao Zhuoyang was confused again.
Italy and Greece are the two legs of the European continent that stretch into the Mediterranean, and Athens is at the heel of the right leg. To the south of Athens is the vast Mediterranean Sea, and to the east is the beautiful Aegean Sea.
This is Zhuoyang's third visit to the Olympic Stadium in Athens, and for Paolo Maldini, it is his eighth Champions Cup final, and at 38 years and 331 days, he is also the oldest player in the history of the final and the oldest captain in the history of the final.
It's not just Zhuo Yang who has fond memories in this stadium, but Maldini as well. Thirteen years ago, he and AC Milan staged the Rossoneri's most glorious Champions League in a 4-0 beating of Barcelona with Romario and Stoichkov in the final. Thirteen years have passed, and Maldini is the only remaining witness to the legendary song.
AC Milan today are dressed in white as they were two years ago, and Liverpool are still in red two years later. Two years later, AC Milan will be without Crespo, who scored two goals two years ago, but with another Zhuo Yang, who also scored two goals for Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup two years ago.
Although AC Milan has become a classic of the Champions Cup with one win and one loss, it has been difficult to name the final since ancient times, and both sides played very cautiously at the beginning, which can also be seen from the line-up of Ancelotti and Benitez.
The two Mesozoic coaches have abandoned the 4-4-2 tactics commonly used in the league in favor of a slightly more conservative 4-4-1-1 striker. Zhuo Yang was pulled back into midfield, lined up in a shallow disc pattern with Andrea Pirlo, Anju and Gattuso, with Kaka and Inzaghi in front of them.
This midfield lineup is undoubtedly the most reasonable and powerful combination that AC Milan can put out at the moment. Of course, let's not forget that there is also a Ronaldo who cannot play.
The backline, consisting of the horses, Nesta, Janku and Oddo, is also the ideal configuration after a season of injuries and tribulations.
Perhaps the only one of the AC Milan eleven who does not have a heart of revenge and jealousy for Liverpool is Zhuo Yang, not only because he led Madiborg to a 3-1 victory over Liverpool, but because he likes Premier League players very much when defending like a wild bee and butterfly, which makes him full of interest in playing.
Today, Zhuo Yang's position is similar to that of a right midfielder, and the Liverpool man opposite him is a famous heavy gunner in football and a fierce player who moves to the position.
The 27-year-old John Reeser has been famous in football for a long time, playing in the main team at Monaco in Ligue 1 at the age of 20, but it was not until last summer that he really became popular, and his fame caught up with the strength. Because last year's holiday he had a new nickname: the electric drill. And this nickname was given to him by the famous British star Jordan.
"When I first learned that a married man wanted to date me, I actually was, I refused, and I told my friends, I refused, because, in fact, I was not interested in it at all...... My friend told me that the man MR-X had a stunt ......"
Later, under the persuasion of his friends and the flattery of the other party's dead face, he was idle, and the most famous boba in Europe was with Reeser for a month.
"Unlike other couples, he's like an electric drill in bed, and it's the kind of drill that can adjust the speed. Because of this, every time I snap with him, I think of the red Bosch in my garage. ”
“Biang …… biang …… biang、biang、 biang…… It felt like he wasn't having sex with me, it was all sexually abused. I didn't feel pleasure at all, every time I felt like I was going to be pinned to the bed if he didn't stop. ”
That's why it's often said that the Premier League always produces talent.
Reese is somewhat similar to Jankulovski, relying on a left-back who has made a name for himself in attack, with a slight lack of discipline and tactical feel when defending. Therefore, the two managers often use them as left wing-backs, which is also a move to promote their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
Zhuo Yang did not rush forward after the opening, focusing on the mutual testing with Reeser and Dutch star Zenden. There was basically no spark in the first ten minutes for both sides, and each of them just had a scratchy shot from the boot.
Ten minutes later, the pretentious foreplay could not be endless, and Liverpool took the lead.
Janku stopped the ball too far in front of the penalty area, was cut off by Pennant and burst in, and his low shot from a tight angle from 9 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Dida on the ground. A minute later, Liverpool made a comeback, Alonso moved widely, it was Janku who leaked the top, and it was Pennant who knocked back from the right side of the box. It's just that Nesta didn't take Gerrard, who was outflanked in the middle, no one cared when he stopped the ball with the first kick, and he wanted to volley with the second kick but was stolen by Neme's toe tap.
Gerrard was certainly not an easy person to deal with, and his forced breakthrough two minutes later forced Nesta to keep him for a foul. However, Cendon clearly did not have the aura of heaven and earth from the 1998 World Cup in France, and a free kick was kicked out of bounds.
The Liverpudlians were intrigued by a succession of attacks, with the most active being 24-year-old England right midfielder Pennant, who had made a bit of a mess for Janku on this side. Not counting the front, he launched four more attacks in the next ten minutes, all of which were deflated by Janku, but fortunately, Gerrard, Kuyt, Alonso and Pennant's own shots were denied by Maldini.
Janku can't be blamed on all of them, Gattuso in front of him is a fake left midfielder, in fact, he mainly blocks Liverpool's midfield duo of Mascherano and Alonso with Ambu, and adheres to his central duties, which makes Janku have to face the joint impact of Pennant and Reds right-back Finnan alone. Unable to take the initiative to press the opponent back with an attack, Yanku can only passively accept his fate.
AC Milan are tight on the left side, but Zhuo Yang and Otto are on the right side of the field are starting to gain the upper hand, although they have little friendship off the field, but they are obviously much stronger on the field than Reese and Zenden. Liverpool have been playing the right flank during this period, but their usual famous left flank has been silent, with Zhuo Yang and the veteran Otto pinching their pulse.
When the left side of his side was in danger and embarrassed, Zhuo Yang had something to say on the right.
