Chapter 375: The Golden Boy Candidate Strikes Might
"No,"
"No,"
"Nope."
The referee said three times in a row.
He even spoke to the linesman to make sure the ball didn't cross the line.
In fact, the linesman himself was confused, the speed of the ball was too fast, just for a moment, he couldn't see whether it was scored or not, but in the uncertain situation, he could only choose to say that the ball did not score......
In the end, it was useless for the Spaniards to protest, but the fans in front of the TV could watch the slow-motion replay!
It was clear in the footage that the ball was completely over the line, and it was a good shot!
This was a complete misjudgment, but under these conditions, the referee will not change the decision.
"Damn, such a fatal mistake in the final!"
Wu Sanshi and they could only hold their heads and be depressed.
Coach Ruby is a little better, after all, he doesn't know whether the goal went in or didn't, and if he knew that the ball was coming in, he probably had to run to the fourth official again.
While the Spaniards were still haunted by the ball just now, Milan launched a quick counterattack, Pirlo quickly distributed the ball to Ronaldinho on the right, who swung in place and immediately rubbed the ball in front of the Spaniard's penalty area, this time Inzaghi grabbed the header before Halque and crossed to the back post, Seedorf fired a left-footed volley from the edge of the box!
Casilla picked the ball firmly into his arms with both hands.
There is a good goalkeeper on both sides.
Soon it was stoppage time, that is, Milan were in possession, Pirlo sent a long pass, this time Ronaldinho took the ball in front of the penalty area, and shook it in succession to get rid of Moises and Torrejo and hit the goal, but he actually hit the ball high in an incredible way.
At half-time, the score was 1-0 and Espanyol led.
But after the game, de la Pena kept scolding, his mouth was full of foul language, and it was clear that he was still angry about the penalty just now.
If it weren't for the miscalculation, the Spaniards would now be 2-0 ahead of Milan.
And Shunsuke Nakamura also went to chat with the referee......
Everyone was talking about it in the locker room, and they were all indignant.
"Enough!"
"It's useless to think about it now."
"The score is still 1:0. What we have to do now is to keep the score and try to score another goal. It doesn't help to complain about the past, but the opponent is Milan. ”
"We need to keep a clear head!"
'In the second half they will definitely attack more aggressively, but we have to do better than them.'
'A ball is not safe at all, we haven't won the game yet.
'We have to be a little more determined in midfield. In the second half, the young Pato will definitely come on, he has the pace, the impact and the agility of the run, so we have to defend him with a focus and no one can be distracted. ”
"For 90 minutes, as long as the final whistle doesn't blow, we don't think we've all won the championship!"
……
In the other dressing room, Ancelotti's eyes swept in front of the players one by one, but he didn't get angry. He's a good old man, and although he's angry and disappointed, he won't show it.
He still restrained his emotions.
"If,"
"If you want to live the nightmare of 2005 again, please keep up your show."
Not a lot of words, but extremely lethal. The bigwigs were all moved.
I'm most afraid of this sentence!
Relive the nightmare of 2005? There is no way, the decision cannot be used in this situation, otherwise it will be crazy to look back on the career later.
You can't be a barak! You can't just want to be King Arthur......
And the guest commentator on Milan TV, the former Chelsea boss and current Inter boss, gave advice during the break.
"Milan didn't put enough pressure on the Espanyol backline, the veterans up front were too slow, although their skills were good, but the Spaniards were on their feet, it was difficult for you to break down the dense defence, Ancelotti should immediately bring on Pato, Pato should be able to change the game."
"But if I were Ruby, I wouldn't let that happen, and I could just use Ancelotti's favorite formation and put on a 4321 formation, which would make it more difficult for Carlo Ancelotti's team."
In a word!
Ruby really changed his formation in the second half, and Pato also replaced the inactive Seedorf.
In fact, both teams' formations are now 4321.
At the start of the second half, Milan launched a sharp attack.
In the 48th minute, Pato came up and dragged Callejon down with speed, and passed diagonally on the left side, Xiao Luo did not wait for the ball to land and directly swept with his right foot in front of the big penalty area!
"Beautiful!"
Casilla finally blocked the ball, and Chika quickly kicked the ball out.
"Ronaldo's footwork is fantastic, this shot shows his superb footwork, most players will unload the ball and then find a way to shoot, but Ronaldo doesn't need it, it's a pity that Casilla standing in front of the goal is too brave."
There was also a sigh in the stands, Milan fans were in a hurry, it was the second half, Milan still didn't score a goal, the score of 0:1 was like a fish in the throat, it was really uncomfortable, the night was cool, and the pain of Istanbul was like a dark cloud pressing on their heads.
Wu Sanshi and Callejon have recovered near the midfield, especially Callejon, whose previous speed advantage is gone, because of Pato's presence.
Pato was quite active after coming up, the first half could have tormented him, and he finally got on, he couldn't let Wu Sanshi dance solo, otherwise the Golden Boy Award would be no show, and he had to show more strength than Wu Sanshi.
In the 52nd minute, it was again on the left that he received a through ball from Ronaldo, and he changed direction and cut inward, Torrejo had to bring him down, and Milan got a chance to score a ball in front of the field, and Torrejo also received a yellow card.
Ronaldo took the set-piece, only to curl it just wide of the near post.
The Spaniards tried to counter-attack, but Milan stepped up their pressing in midfield and it was difficult for the Spaniards to get the ball forward.
In the 55th minute, Callejon conceded the ball again in midfield, Pirlo slipped the ball to Pato, Pato flicked it sideways, and suddenly he volleyed with his right foot from 25 meters in front of goal, and Casilla lifted the ball over the right post again.
Corner kick.
Milan's attacks came in waves, and they never stopped.
Andrea Pirlo whipped in a corner and Ambrosini got to the spot, but it was deflected wide.
Although it was passive, the Espanyol's defense was never penetrated by Milan, and the united Spaniards recovered all the lines.
In the 58th minute, Inzaghi turned and fired a right-footed shot from 9 meters in front of the goal that was blocked by Casilla with one arm, and then only 30 seconds later, Flamini fired a powerful right-footed volley from 18 meters in front of the goal to cause Casilla to get out of his hands, but unfortunately no one made a follow-up shot.
Milan were one goal away.
The Milan fans in the stands rejoiced and sighed. Even Rui Costa and Costacuta in the stands looked anxious, when did it be so difficult for Milan to score a goal?
In the 60th minute, the Spaniards finally played a beautiful counterattack, De La Pena knocked the ball to Wu Sanshi, Wu Sanshi and Callejon hit the wall to cooperate, and a person rushed forward with the ball in the middle, Ambrosini raised his leg and stepped on Wu Sanshi's left thigh in a hurry!
Click,
Ambrosini's foot was not light, and Wu Sanshi immediately stepped down. There was an immediate exclamation from the stands.
"Fack!"
"This bastard."
"Is this against the man or against the ball?" Big names such as Ambrosini were also scolded by Espanyol fans.
"This bastard must have done it on purpose."
"If you can't kick people, you can start playing such dirty methods."
Even He Wei slapped the table.
"Ambrosini is too much, but he's the captain of Milan now, can he play a little more elegantly?"
"It's too much."
The referee did not hesitate to show him a yellow card, but Wu Sanshi also limped off the court.
"It won't hurt, will it?"
"But don't."
……
This is the most shots of Wu Sanshi in the second half. After Milan committed heavy attack, the Spaniards' attacking players almost disappeared, including Wu Sanshi.
Shunsuke Nakamura dropped the ball straight into the Milan penalty area, Senderos headed it clear, De la Pena volleyed a right-footed volley from 22 yards in front of goal, and Wu Sanshi was already standing on the sidelines.
"Sanshi doesn't look like a big problem, he's back on the pitch."
"Ambrosini's kick just now was unnecessary, I guess I vented my emotions."
Without worrying the fans too much, Wu Sanshi ran again, and the fans immediately responded with the warmest applause. For the Spaniard, as long as Wu Sanshi is still on the field, it represents hope.
'You can't expect him to shine all the light for 90 minutes, like Inzaghi, he's been lackluster so far, but you don't know when he's going to deliver the fatal blow. The same goes for Wu Sanshi, he won't be silent until the end of the game. ”
He Wei was right, Inzaghi almost equalized in the 65th minute, the coquettish Xiao Luo volleyed the ball accurately to Inzaghi at the halfway line, the ball was passed so suddenly that Halke was not ready to come, after all, the distance was too far, he didn't expect Xiao Luo to pass like this!
Inzaghi dodged and burst straight into the right side of the penalty area.
Halque has finally been thrown away!
Inzaghi shoots a right-footed volley from 12 yards out!
In one word, it is fast. Even Casilla's preparation was not very adequate.
Duang!
Oh my god, Milan's luck today was so bad.
The ball hit the near crossbar and bounced off the pitch, and in a panic, Torrejo scrambled the ball forward.
Inzaghi hurriedly covered his vicissitudes of his handsome face with both hands, maybe it would be a lifetime regret to miss this opportunity, he became a hero in the Champions League two years ago, and two years later he actually missed such a simple opportunity in the final of the League Cup?
It's not about age or technology, it's just about luck......
De la Pena got the ball in the middle and immediately distributed it to Shunsuke Nakamura on the left, who then passed it to Takesanshi in front, who pulled the ball and took a few steps to the side, and suddenly poked the ball forward.
The ball was passed very hidden, but Luis Garcia just ran to the position, and after holding back his strength, Garcia forced the ball forward, Bonella and Senderos closed from both sides, and Garcia fell directly to the ground under Bonella's body contact!
"Oh! Penalty? ”
The camera immediately focused on the referee, but the referee raised his hand to indicate that it was not a penalty, and he also did not make a fake fall......
"This ball, it's really not a big problem, Garcia is a little unreasonable......" He Wei also thinks it's not a penalty.
"But he's right......"
It was Milan's turn to counterattack, Pirlo made a long pass to Pato, Pato was so fast that Pirlo could send the ball over the top as he wanted, Sanchez didn't even have a chance to pull Pato, Pato easily unloaded the ball behind him, if it wasn't for Torrejo immediately making up for it, Pato would have burst into the Espanyol penalty area.
But Pato was clearly not afraid of Torrejo, and after a lunge to get the ball up, Torejo's pace clearly didn't keep up.
Pato is on another trip!
Get rid of Torrejo easily and shoot hard with his right foot!
Bang –
A powerful shot went straight into the far corner, and this time Calicia saved the ball away, but the outflanked Inzaghi had no angle to shoot and he could only sweep the ball back to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho tried to shoot with his right foot, but Moises was stuffed in front of him, and Ronaldo had to pull the ball back and cross it to Pirlo.
Pirlo kicks up!
But when he shot at goal, De la Pena hit him with his shoulder, so that the shot missed the crosshair and the ball flew into the stands.
With Pirlo's footwork, if there was no interference from De la Pena, he would definitely not have been able to shoot like this, he could only consider himself unlucky, anyway, the goal was also shot, and the referee would not give another chance.
With less than 20 minutes left for Milan, defeat is getting closer and closer.
In the 75th minute, Ronaldo volleyed again from the edge of the box, but was blocked by Moises with his body. Ronaldo was quickly replaced by Carlo Ancelotti with Jankulovski. Although he performed well, his fitness was at the limit.
Ancelotti actually put Jankulovski in the midfield position, and pushed Pirlo's position forward, which is the forward position, and Pato's position was also pushed forward, forming a double striker partnership with Inzaghi.
At this time, Ancelotti no longer plays 4321, he needs to attack more violently.
In the 79th minute, Pirlo, who had moved forward, quickly had a chance to shoot, and his right-footed curling shot from 20 yards in front of goal immediately tested Calicia, resulting in a corner for Milan.
Then he flew the corner flag to punish the corner, and as soon as the ball was set, he knocked the ball to Jankulovski, and Jankulovski knocked it back, and Pirlo crossed!
The ball fell straight to the front point, Inzaghi and Halke collided again, but Inzaghi's head was faster, a lion shook his head, and the ball went to the far end of the goal!
In mid-air, Pato's figure flew out like lightning, swept the ball directly into the goal with a sweep of his right foot.
"Oops!"
"Pato,"
'He equalised.'
"The Golden Boy candidate is the Golden Boy candidate after all, Pato was just outside the penalty area, and he rushed to the ball in a flash."
