Chapter 389: Chaos and Rebirth
At halftime of the much-anticipated Champions League final, at least 50 million fans, including Alex Ferguson, of the world's 150 million TV viewers, left their television sets in a huff.
In the first 45 minutes, Milan took a three-goal lead with the same ease as a debriefing performance.
By the 85th minute, the number of viewers had reached 200 million.
In the UK alone, there are 15 million televisions broadcasting the game live.
According to the survey results, the average viewership of live matches provided by independent TV stations is as high as 44%. Especially after Alonso's follow-up shot into the net, the game's ratings continued to climb, with almost 70 per cent of British men watching.
Now, even some neutral fans are starting to support Liverpool, after all, no one wants to watch a one-sided game, and people are more willing to see a counter-kill.
In the Sun Yat-sen Stadium, there are 21 people crowded together on half of the court.
There were eleven Milan players, nine Liverpool players, and a Spanish referee.
Liverpool were almost out of the nest and everyone was in attack.
Dida and the Milan defenders' ratings are rising with every Reds' attack, but they don't want to see that in their hearts.
An Fat was a little anxious on the sidelines, and the two players who were replaced in a row did not bring much help to the team on the offensive end, and the sufficient and long physical strength was consumed in rushing and earning the top again and again.
Tang Wu and Hamann stood in the middle circle one after the other, one left and one right, paying attention to Milan's big feet at any time.
"Come on, fighting!"
“ith hope i
and youll never walk alone
youll never walk alone...”
As the minutes ticked by, the KOPs began to stand with the team members and sing the team song loudly.
In any case, Liverpool have chased the score to just one goal, and this game is still a defeat.
But the blood is already boiling, and the fighting spirit is still burning. At this time, no one was shouting for Liverpool to accept such a "glorious defeat", and every Reds fan sang the team song and stood with the players as hard as they could.
The Reds were like a tidal wave, storming the opponent's line again and again.
Even Tang Wu ran into the opponent's penalty area and participated in the corner kick.
The sweat had long since come to an end of the Gunners' jerseys and blurred the Reds' eyes. But with the last fighting spirit in his body, the Liverpudlian was completely red-eyed.
Falling, getting up, sprinting, shooting...
Every Liverpool player plays their part 200 per cent, and as long as the ball is not out of bounds, they will chase it hard.
In the face of such a crazy Liverpool, there is no good way to even be fat.
The fourth official on the sidelines had already raised the number card of "5", and at this time, Tang Wu had already taken Liverpool's free kick to the opponent's penalty area from the right side of the midfield.
An Fat wanted to hurry to the next deadball opportunity and delay time with the last substitution.
The ball flew over a distance of more than 40 meters and landed accurately in the middle of the Milan penalty area.
Nesta and Stam leaped high and sandwiched the jumping Cisse in the middle.
There was a "bang", and even the camera didn't capture who hit the ball, only to see that all three of them fell to the ground after breaking the top, and the blue-and-white elf jumped high again.
Dida was still nailed to the goal line, firstly because the ball was still some distance from the goal, and secondly, the Brazilian goalkeeper was full of people in front of him, and there was no way to attack at all.
Fortunately, Maldini was experienced on the sidelines, and he was the first to rush under the ball and leap hard, and before he was knocked down by Gerrard, he pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
After the two captains landed, their feet were also entangled and they fell to the ground one after another. At this moment, there are four players in the Milan penalty area who are not in a standing position.
Maldini's hastily cleared ball didn't go far and Alonso rose to the ball and fired a direct volley at the top of the arc.
Rumble!
There was a muffled thunder in front of the Milan goal, and the ball exploded in an instant.
In the next second, Gattuso and Dida both pounced.
The Italians are bored, but the Brazilians are shaken.
"Referee, someone is hurt!" Shepchenko immediately raised his right hand and shouted at the referee.
Originally, several teammates fell to the ground before, and the referee ignored you; Now another player is lying on the turf and covering his face and is motionless, referee, you still don't blow the whistle?
But throughout the history of football matches, when has a referee blown the whistle because a person's face was smothered by the ball? Not to mention that it is still in the favor of the attacking side. Gonzalez just glanced at Gattuso and looked at the ball that had popped into the box.
The Milan players were eager to clear the siege, and Tomasson and Hyypia, who had just come on the pitch, scrambled together, both wanting to top the ball that fell high in the air.
Tomasson is in a good position and has a lot of energy, while Hyypia is taller.
When the 1.95m Finnish defender collided with the 1.82m Danish striker, the physical confrontation gave the Reds a huge advantage.
"Here!"
Hyypia only felt that the sound was somewhat familiar, and without even looking at it, he pushed the ball with his forehead to the source of the sound.
“to”
“shoooooooot!”
Boom!
Tang Wu, who had just taken a free kick in the midfield, rushed to the front of the Milan penalty area at some point, and swept the ball towards the door of the Milan team without waiting for the ball to land in the air.
Liverpool even shot from distance with the goalkeeper, and the intensity of the game was already beyond the expectations of the fans.
"Boom! Buzz Buzz..."
Fans behind the goal could clearly see that Milan's frame was shaking from a hammer.
"Ahh
Before Zhan Jun could finish sighing, Huang Jianxiang's voice rang out again: "And..."
Dida in a dark green jersey had already been shaken out of position by two shots, and was now struggling to get up from in front of goal, unable to pick up the ball.
At this time, another gloved figure rushed into the Milan penalty area and met the blue and white elves who landed from the sky.
"Ahh
A scream rang out in the Milan penalty area.
At this time, no one paid attention to Stam who was stepped on his fingers, and Tang Wu did not take advantage of this to fall down and asked the referee for a penalty.
Since Tang Wu stepped on Stam's right hand to jump, he had all the strength but did not jump very high.
But even so, the one-meter-seven-eight Cafu still didn't win Tang Wu in headers.
"Empty door?!"
"Good chance!"
In the broadcast room of CCTV, watching Tang Wu jump high against the ball six meters on the right side of the door, his whole heart was in his throat.
Can Tang Wu put the ball in? Did Tang Wu usually practice heading?
All the KOPs held their breath as they watched Tang Wu's forehead get closer to the ball little by little. Then, with a jerk.
The balls flying in the pupils grew larger and larger, but also farther and farther away. Dida, who was just ready to save, shook his body, and his waist was almost missed.
He thought that Tang Wu would attack the door directly, and no matter how bad it was, he would smash it to the ground.
But what he never expected was that after the ball hit Tang Wu's forehead, it bounced up again and floated towards the other side of the goal.
He's off the rails!?
Dida subconsciously turned her head and looked at the ball falling in the air.
Just fly one more second and it will fly completely off the line and end this damn attack.
"Huh!"
Just as Dida waited for the ball to go out of bounds, a red figure suddenly rushed out.
As soon as Garcia's forehead hit the ball into Milan's net, half of his body crashed unsuspectingly into Milan's left post. The Milan door frame, which had just been stabilized, shook violently again because of Garcia's reckless rush to the top.
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!”
"Oh~~~Oh~~~Oh~~~"
In the microphone of the Sun Yat-sen Stadium, the hoarse voice of the on-site commentator sounded for the eighth time. This time he fought to the last of his strength, still gritting his teeth and letting his voice echo through the microphone.
In an instant, all the Liverpool players rushed towards Garcia, who had fallen in front of goal, and firmly pounced on the Spaniard.
Young Kaka bent over in embarrassment, his hands on his knees and panting heavily. The Brazilian looked helplessly past three of his teammates who had fallen to the ground, watching as the opposing players stacked Arhats in celebration in front of his own goal.
He's done his best, both offensively and defensively, and the Brazilian has done the best he can.
But when the game was played in the 92nd minute, Liverpool still tied the score at 4-4.
"Oh my God, they really did!" In the stands, Owen opened his mouth in surprise, drowning in the already boiling sea of people.
