Chapter 21: Farewell to Baresi (I)

With the Milan dynasty dominating European football on the one hand, and the world's most promising newcomers on the other, the drama of this game greatly outweighs the spectacle.

The youngest members of the AC Milan squad are Basten and Lentini, but both of them are out of sight due to injuries, and few of the other old guys can last through the half......

The impact of Ling Feng, Ronaldo, and Henry is world-famous, and these old guys will definitely not be able to block the impact of this group of guys.

However, this game is Baresi's farewell game, to put it bluntly, it is an exhibition match, although the result is not important, but you can't slaughter him in the last game, so appreciation is the most important, but the goal can't go to him much - AC Milan deliberately arranged Abbiati to guard the goal, I'm afraid I also hope that he will release water at a critical moment......

This kind of game is the most important thing to entertain and watch, and of course it is also in line with the tradition of Ling Feng's gang to play, if it is not the wild boar Davis but Ronaldinho at this time, it will be even more playable.

In the singing of tens of thousands of Milan fans, the game began, and the referee of this game was still the bald Gollum Collina, but such a game that would not be angry at all was blown by Collina, a guy known for his strictness, was really overkill.

Basten and Baggio drove the ball out and AC Milan went on the attack.

As a group of old guys with an average age of more than 35 years old, it is impossible to launch a fierce attack, Donadoni, Ruud Gullit, Rijkaard and others began to slowly control the ball in the midfield, and every time one of them got the ball, there was a tsunami of shouts from the stands.

Ling Feng ran slowly in front, stretching out his feet to block the pass, but he didn't approach the body of the opposing player, because before the game, everyone agreed on three chapters: "No body, no tackle, no speed" - otherwise, if nothing else, the wild boar Davis is enough for these old men.

It's just that these old players who dominated European football back then, although their physical strength and speed are not as good as before, their awareness and technology have not diminished at all, especially in the long pass and the first point of stopping, the skills of this group of veteran players have amazed this group of newcomers!

It's just that the new stars don't have much advantage by breaking the ball completely by technique, especially Davis, the nickname "Wild Boar" is not called in vain, and it's okay to let him go on a rampage, but if you let the wild boar dance ballet in a small space, it's really difficult for him......

The pressure brought by Baggio to the defense of the new star team in the front court is not a little bit, for this guy, it is not something that can be restrained by the "three chapters of the law", so the worst thing is Baggio, Nesta and Zanetti will make Baggioka's breathing difficult, and see that there is no one around Basten on the side, Baggio is depressed - I can't wait to give birth a few years early!

Just three minutes into the game, the old AC Milan team completed their first shot on goal, Donadoni received a clever pass from Gullit and broke through the cross, and Basten at the back post almost performed his "zero degree" stunt on the first shot - but the luck was not good, the ball hit a little higher - otherwise, as long as the ball hit the goal, Abbiati would definitely find a way to leak the ball in!

Basten's shot drew a chorus of cheers from the fans in the stands, as if they had seen the mighty team that swept European football back then, and that's how the attack was played.

It was an unwinnable game for the rising stars, so when they got the ball, instead of going up and attacking like they used to, they started near midfield – playing with the ball!

The so-called playing ball, that is a pure performance, Puyol's long pass to Beckham, the handsome English guy just got the ball, and a burst of MM screams broke out in the stands - this made Ling Feng and Ronaldo very depressed, Ling Feng was not angry that he was neither bad looking, but he didn't get such treatment, and Ronaldo, this ugly man was depressed why he didn't look so handsome!

Xiao Bei's passing ability is average, but his passing is the most accurate in the world, before Donadoni pressed, Comrade Xiao Bei used his signature long pass directly to the left side, where Ling Feng stopped the ball in the air chest, and then a juggling action - uh, like kicking a shuttlecock, the outside instep of the right foot hooked the ball into the penalty area.

At this time, it's up to Fat Luo!

Luo Zi, who was at his peak, might not be able to catch up with Ling Feng even at a running speed, especially in terms of instantaneous explosiveness, he and Ling Feng were not much different, but whoever started first among the two of them would definitely not be able to catch up with the other - because a short start could get rid of the opponent behind him.

Before the game, it was said that it was not allowed to accelerate and it was not allowed to pass people with the ball at high speed, but it was not said that it was impossible to accelerate in this way - otherwise, don't kick, and both sides will play slowly like snails.

It is obvious that Tassotti is not Ronaldo's opponent, and the two of them started in front of the big penalty area at the same time, but when they rushed inside, Ronaldo had already surpassed the old guy who couldn't run by two positions, but when he stopped the ball, a figure flashed in front of him and kicked the ball out before him!

Baresi! The Milan veteran was particularly excited in the farewell game, and in slow motion, when Ling Feng stopped the ball, he began to retreat into the penalty area, and when the ball passed in front of Ronaldo, he just destroyed the ball!

Amazing awareness!

It's just that it can be seen that Fei Luo has a movement to close his feet when Baresi grabs the ball, otherwise even if this goal can't be scored, it may not necessarily completely waste the opportunity to attack.

Anyway, I still have to give Baresi some face......

Then came the counter-attack of Old Milan, and this time the Dutch trio completed a wonderful combination that almost made fans think that time had passed.

After stabilizing the ball in the midfield, the players of the old Milan pushed forward unhurriedly, Lentini and Donadoni pulled away from the left and right, Baggio retreated to get the ball, Gullit and Rijkaard in the middle responded one after the other, and Basten was waiting for the opportunity in front.

Lentini knocked the ball back to Rijkaard on the right flank, and Davies the boar immediately pounced on it, but Rijkaard did not give the junior face, and with a gentle rub of his right foot under the ball, the ball flew to Gullit on the left side of the box.

As one of the most skilled of the three musketeers, Pigtail Shuai naturally would not waste such a good opportunity, and Zanetti next to him did not step forward to interfere with himself, Gullit hooked the ball back with his right foot in the air, and the ball flew to the penalty area without any pause.

Basten rushed forward when Gullit made a move, and the tacit understanding of many years has not been forgotten, Nesta did not expect that Basten still retains such a vigorous skill after retiring for many years, and he carelessly let Lao Ba break through, and the ball was passed in front of Basten, and the next thing he had to do was just to put his head forward and push the ball in......

1:0! Ten minutes into the first half, the first goal was born! The scorer was Van •Basten!

Basten's goal ignited the high mood of the fans in the San Siro stadium, although these players are now old, but from the cooperation just now, it can be clearly seen that Milan dominated Europe that year, the name of the three musketeers resounded at the San Siro stadium, senior fans couldn't help but look at the old Milan players hugging together on the field with tears in their eyes, at this moment they seemed to see the glory of Milan again!

'It's time for us to score, so let's get a draw.' Ling Feng and the others got together and said with a smile, they don't have to worry about not being able to score a goal, they just have to worry, don't give the other party too much.

Compared to the two teams, the old AC Milan's cooperation is unparalleled, while the new star team is super individual ability, and the overall cooperation is completely dependent on the players' on-the-spot performance, but in such a game, one or two players are enough to hit the ball into the opponent's door - the opponent's defense is not very strong.

Henry is more depressed, defending him is the old AC is now the strongest Maldini, basically he can't get the chance to get the ball, compared to several seniors who have aged, Maldini Jr. is at the peak of his career, and Henry is a young player who has not yet been fully developed, and is naturally not Maldini's opponent.

It's just that on the other side, Ronaldo is like a fish in water, his back and forth control and pendulum passes make it impossible for Evani to keep up with the rhythm of this guy, even if he doesn't start at full speed, Evani can't keep up with this bald man with a wounded leg.

Rijkaard's defense against Ling Feng is more effective, and the 35-year-old veteran has not completely left the green field, and he, like Gullit, can still hold on to such a game with a weak rhythm in the half.

But the main problem was that Ling Feng didn't dare to make physical contact with this black swan - for fear of hurting the other party, then such a farewell match would be very unsatisfactory.

At this time, the most eye-catching performance is Beckham and Ballack, the two of them tear up the opponent's gap from the side from the left and right, although Beckham is not as good as Ballack, but as long as he stops the ball at his feet, then he has full confidence to pass a very threatening pass, after a few passes, Henry set his position on the stump center - Ronaldo's header is not good, this time can only let him go.

However, when it comes to headers, in the fifteenth minute of the first half, Comrade Xiaobei passed a free kick, and Ballack almost knocked on the opponent's door with a nod, compared to the German midfielder Ballack who was 189 more dominant in the header.

The new stars almost beat the old AC Milan team out of breath with a round of onslaught, but as experienced veterans, they naturally have a way to deal with such a onslaught - under the dispatch of Baresi, the old AC Milan's back line tightened inward, which was the traditional Italian tactic that shocked the world back then - defensive counterattack!

The soul of the defensive counterattack lies in the shadow striker, and Baggio, one of the best shadow strikers in the world today, is in the old AC Milan team, plus there are two players behind him, Baggio forced a breakthrough in the first half 20 minutes to create a one-on-one chance, but his familiar Fiorentina teammate Cannavaro broke the ball the moment he got up.

'If you score, you have to go around Baresi.' This sentence is another rule of the Nova team, because it is really unkind to pass others and score the ball in the farewell game, Ling Feng and Ronaldo ran away when they saw Baresi with the ball, or they were deliberately cut off by the other party, which is also the reason why the Nova team has not scored so far.

It's just that the actions of a few people are very hidden, and even Baresi himself thinks that he is overperforming in the last game, let alone the fans present.

The old and strong Baresi - well, that's what the commentator said, the old and strong Baresi bravely cut off Ronaldo's ball and sent a precise long pass to Basten in front......

Such a scene has appeared several times, Ronaldo gnawed on a mouthful of grass, and privately complained to Ling Feng that such a game is simply not played by people, and it is not in the second half - the second half is against the current AC Milan.

Compared with the old guys who may be injured if they touch now, Ronaldo naturally wants to play a game with a real opponent who can match - although this is Baresi's farewell match, but they who have already played a little hot don't care so much, and it is serious to play a game.

In the twenty-seventh minute of the first half, Thierry Henry finally beat Tasotti with a header from David Beckham's cross, which he had cleared away from Baresi's defence.

Henry was substituted after scoring a goal, and at the same time, Ronaldo, Xiaobei, Ballack and Ling Feng also went off the field at the same time, and the new star team made five substitutions in a row - such a friendly match is not a substitution quota and the replacement can not return to the field This requirement, and the replacement is Raul, Shepchenko, Kluivert, Ronaldinho and Totti, these guys decided not to pull all on the field, and it is to compete with the veterans and the real AC Milan team in the second half!
