Chapter 14: Baresi's Retirement

Ling Feng in the second half was diametrically opposed to the performance in the first half, if it was his real position now, Ling Feng was just a defensive forward in the first half, and his threat was half played at best.

Boban only felt a flower in front of him, and then the Chinese teenager in front of him disappeared, and when he turned around, the ball flicked between the young man's left and right feet, and he dodged Desailly's blockade and broke through directly!

This is the first time that Ling Feng has broken through the two with the ball in this game, and those who are familiar with him immediately know that this Chinese teenager is going to exert his might!

Breaking through Desailly's midfielder, Ling Feng's next face is Baresi, the soul of the Rossoneri's backline!

Finally it was the turn of Baresi and Ling Feng to face off, and all the reporters on the sidelines raised their cameras and looked at the field without blinking.

Ling Feng finally moved!

Even the reporter, who had not blinked, did not see how Ling Feng's first kick moved, as if it was a flash in front of him, and then the ball moved from Ling Feng's right foot to the left side - flashed next to Baresi!

Baresi saw clearly, Ling Feng stepped on the ball with his right foot, and then slid down!

The steel spikes of the sneaker scratched the surface of the ball, and the ball immediately rolled over on the other side, and at this time, Ling Feng's body leaned forward, and he had already surpassed Baresi's body by half a position!

It's unbelievable!

Baresi had been waiting for Ling Feng's feet to move, but the range of passing movements with shoe spikes was extremely small, and Ling Feng had already broken through the past when he was caught off guard!

But as an incomparably experienced veteran, just as Ling Feng's last foot was about to step over Baresi's defensive area, Baresi fell to the ground - a horizontal split, and the 38-year-old veteran staged an amazing scene, forcibly spreading his legs to almost a straight line, and his elongated toes directly poked the ball out of Ling Feng's feet!

Ling Feng was inevitably affected by his own momentum, if it was in normal times, he would definitely fall directly to the ground, signaling the opponent to foul, fortunately the referee did not see clearly, coupled with the home advantage, it is very likely to get a good position free kick opportunity.

But Ling Feng didn't do this, on the contrary, he also tried hard to maintain the balance of his body, but the momentum was too great, and he fell to the ground after two turns.

But fortunately, the referee saw it very clearly, and Baresi touched the ball first and did not foul it.

"That's amazing!" Ling Feng stuck out his tongue and muttered to himself, Baresi's experience was beyond his expectations, the 38-year-old veteran's experience still retained the reaction speed of his heyday, and sure enough, Jiang was old and spicy.

Although Ling Feng's experience has increased a lot after being reborn, the experience of the two of them when it is one-on-one is still not as good as Baresi, who has been trained overnight for decades.

"You're doing a great job." At this time, a voice sounded in his ears, and as soon as he looked up, Baresi smiled and stretched out his hand to himself: "Come on, I'll wait for you." ”

Ling Feng smiled, and as a result, Baresi's hand stood up with a slump of hands. And the fans on the sidelines, both the home team and the away team, erupted in warm applause - in any case, the effect of this heroic feeling between two high-level players is like the effect of bromoacetophenone and formaldehyde volatilization in the air, and many Milan fans have left tears for the respect between Baresi, who has entered the twilight of his life, and Ling Feng, who is in the rising sun.

It was only at this time that an amazing scene happened on the field - Ling Feng, a lawless guy, actually patted Baresi's ass and said something with a smile, and Baresi, knowing that this was a friendly gesture from the other party, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of being insulted......

Maldini and Costacuta on the side looked at each other in a daze - AC Milan's old courtier, the king of the high defense, was actually slapped on the ass by this young boy, didn't he know what is called a tiger's ass and couldn't touch it?

Even Maldini was very respectful when he saw Baresi, although Baresi himself was very easy to get along with, but the long-standing admiration made honest Italians dare not joke with this famous man.

Looking at Capello's round eyes on the side, Maradona laughed in a low voice and said to himself angrily: "That guy even dares to hit me, what's the point of patting Baresi's ass?" ”

It's just that at this time, Baresi's old age has made him no longer as brave as he used to be, and the fierce competition in the first half has worn out the veteran's little physical strength, and now Baresi, even if he runs a few steps quickly, is out of breath.

But it was this veteran who couldn't even walk, and when Ling Feng rushed forward with the ball, he destroyed the genius boy's attack again and again.

"Ling, you just respect this veteran, you can't release water like this." Maradona lit a cigarette and said to himself: "Let's go first, don't give the opponent a chance to fight back." ”

In fact, what Maradona said was not entirely right, because Ling Feng was not strictly speaking, but when he met Baresi, Ling Feng did not pass the ball, and second, he did not use his body and speed to break through, he relied on pure technique and dazzling passing skills to get rid of Baresi's defense.

It's just that in the narrow area in front of the penalty area, if you don't use speed to break through, even if Ling Feng got rid of Baresi for the first time, but he quickly counterattacked and cut off the ball, and the second half of the game went on for twenty minutes, although Fiorentina had an offensive advantage, but there were few decent shots.

"Ling, give full play to your true strength," after smashing the ball out of Ling Feng's feet again, Baresi gasped and said, "I can't hold it anymore, let me see your true strength before I go down." ”

Baggio on the side was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ling Feng, I don't know if it was the dazzle caused by sweat dripping in his eyes......

AC Milan's attack was disrupted by Vieira in the centre circle, and Savčevic's physical strength was somewhat depleted, and after getting rid of the French midfielder for the first time, the Yugoslavs stumbled at their own feet, and Vieira, who turned quickly, seized the opportunity to cut the ball away.

Vieira stuffed a low pass directly to the front, Ling Feng leaned back against Desailly, the back who came to make up for the defense, gently rubbed the ball with his left foot, the ball bounced up and turned around, and the outside instep of his right foot cushioned the ball in the air forward - even the person with the ball bypassed Desailly behind him and rushed to the front!

"It's beautiful!" Baresi, who was already crumbling, couldn't help but admire, this pick turned around, reminding him of the "White Pele" Zico back then.

The ball fell in front of Ling Feng, the next opponent he was going to face was Baresi, Ling Feng didn't look at the ball, but his right foot firmly stepped on the ball when it landed, and then, Ling Feng flicked the ball inward with his right foot, and pulled it out before Baresi stepped out, and his whole body rushed out with Baresi!

Flick the tail of the cow! Ling Feng used this pass for the first time in Serie A!

Baresi was shaken, but the force generated by Ling Feng's high-speed forward insertion made him lose his balance directly, and when he fell to the ground, Baresi saw that Maldini was falling to the ground and shoveling towards Ling Feng. Baggio, there was no one around.

Ling Feng slammed his left foot under the ball, jumped to avoid Maldini's tackle, and the ball flew over Maldini's fallen body to the unattended Robert. Baggio.

The next thing Baggio had to do was to push the one-on-one ball into the opposition's goal from five metres out.

2:0! Robert. Baggio scored his revenge goal to give Fiorentina a 2-0 lead!

However, whether it was Baggio, the hero of the goal, or Ling Feng, who assisted the assist, did not make any celebrations, but ran directly to the side of Baresi, who fell to the ground - the 38-year-old veteran had exhausted the last trace of strength in his body and had already begun to cramp.

Before the AC Milan players could react, Baggio shouted loudly for the team doctor, while Ling Feng lifted Baresi's leg up and gave him a leg press to recover.

After a mess of things, Capello held up the substitution sign, Barresi went down, and 19-year-old Stankaneri came up.

Baresi was carried off on a stretcher – handing the armband to Maldini before he could leave the pitch – but the Fiorentina fans still gave the veteran the warmest applause as he won the hearts of all the fans with his performance.

"Uh, Diego, you just say hello, why don't you take off your hat......" Shepchenko saw Maradona put his hat on his chest, and asked with a shocked look - uh, take off your hat, it's not that serious, right......

"You have to take care of it!" Maradona put his hat back on - he was not too hot at the end of September, he really wanted to be nice and not warm - looking at Baresi, who was drinking water on the sidelines, the Argentine king sighed in a low voice: "Another old friend is also retiring, our era is completely over......"

Baresi's departure caused a bit of confusion in AC Milan's formation, but thankfully God was on Milan's side today, and the youngster Stancarini made a serious mistake, but a save from Batistuta was a must-have shot.

"The game is over." This is a sentence in the hearts of all people with ulterior motives, they are all spies of major clubs to observe this game, but even AC Milan, which played at the level of the three musketeers that year, still did not pose much threat to Fiorentina, and now it seems that only luck and Fiorentina can open the solid whole of the purple lily, but such a team, where to find?

With less than 20 minutes remaining, AC Milan were down by two goals and Baresi was off, and Savicevic and Weah were close to the limit of their physical strength, and it was impossible to equalize the score.

Although this is not to be heard, the Milan players also know that although the team's flag bearer Baresi is gone, the 38-year-old veteran still tried his last bit of strength, which is a huge encouragement for the team, especially the young players in the team!

Kluivert took over Weah's squad and as a centre-forward, he also began to strengthen his possession up front, and it is undeniable that the Dutchman teenager is just as good at his feet, and with his outstanding body and technique, even Nesta cannot easily cut off the ball at his feet.

The addition of Kluivert has greatly reduced the pressure on Savicevic and Weah, and with midfielder Boban taking over from Savicevic and starting the scheduling, AC Milan have gradually reversed the pressure.

Just, in Effenberg and Rui. Under Costa's scheduling, AC Milan still could not occupy the advantage on the field.

In the 30 minutes of the second half, Maradona replaced the hero Baggio and replaced Shepchenko, and even in the last moments of the game, the old horse was still thinking about how to open the opponent's goal.

It's just that Shepchenko doesn't have many opportunities on the field, and AC Milan doesn't dare to be careless about this Ukrainian youngster, and in Maldini's experience, there is no chance of a nuclear warhead exploding.

The game ended at Corina's whistle, 2-0, Fiorentina won, but the defeat of AC Milan was not condemned by the fans, because they played really well in this game, the only pity is that the opponent performed better than them.

What made the atmosphere of the whole stadium reach the highest peak was that after the game, Baresi walked into the field and took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Ling Feng - this also means that Ling Feng has been recognized by Italian football, but what everyone didn't expect was that this jersey printed with AC Milan No. 6 was far more valuable than ordinary jerseys after a game.

The reason is that at the post-match press conference, Baresi said to the microphone with tears in his eyes, which made the jersey handed over to Ling Feng immediately worth a hundred times!

"We played a good game," Baresi said into the microphone with tears in his eyes: "It was the most beautiful game we played since we hit the trough, thanks to Fiorentina, thanks to Diego, it is because of them that we forced us to play such a beautiful match, although the result is still that we lost, but I think every player did their best, Fiorentina is a great team, we are convinced to lose in their hands." ”

"The happiest thing for me is that I finally played against Ling, this Chinese teenager is the best I have ever seen, no wonder Marco [Basten], he often praises him in front of me, but I also realize that I am very old, it is time to retire, I wanted to play a few more games, but I'm afraid my physical condition doesn't allow it. I'm so happy to have played such a perfect game before I retire, and I declare that from today, I, Franco. Baresi, hung up his boots and retired. ”
