Chapter 483: Goal Slap in the Face!

People, that's it.

If there is a shortcoming, I hope to cover up something, so always mentioning something, it will prove what I care about and what I lack.

In many cases, talking too much proves that the heart is empty.

The Italian media continued to criticize the 'misleading' reports of the British media, and also stressed that it would not hinder AC Milan, because they found that the 'misleading' of the British media had an effect, and AC Milan's performance on the field was greatly affected.

The same is true for practical analysis.

Jody Morris is not an ordinary player, he is Millwall's core midfielder, and he has also been selected for the England national team, although his reputation cannot catch up with Pirlo's top-level midfield master, and there are some gaps in technology, but for Millwall, one more Morris is not just as simple as one more player.

Morris is the captain of Millwall, and his overall vision, leadership and organisational attacking skills are by no means worse than any other player, and his performance will affect the whole of Millwall, and therefore the game between Millwall and AC Milan.

Recently, Morris's performance has tended to be flat, in fact, it is absolutely impossible to say 'bad', but Morris's brilliance is overshadowed by teammates such as Braniff and Livermore.

This is not in line with the expectations of the British media.

Many British media and fans still have high expectations for Morris, and the current England midfielders are Gerrard and Frank Lampard, and there will always be various problems when the two play together.

Livermore's arrival is also an option, but Livermore's arrival is not much different from Frank Lampard and Gerrard, and even the problem is even greater, because he has a bad sense of the game, and it is very problematic to cooperate with his teammates, and entering the England team will probably make the midfield even worse.

England rarely have a 'playmaker' with a technical midfield.

Morris is one of them.

Fans can't help but expect Morris to coordinate the England midfield and make the midfield more technical and controllable.

It is precisely because of such high expectations that the British media collectively criticizes Morris.

It's like a student who should have scored 100 points, but only scored 90 points, and couldn't win the first place, he will definitely become the object of conversation for many people, and those who are jealous and disappointed will talk about it, but if they only take 60 or 70 points on weekdays, few people will pay attention to it.

The British media report is undoubtedly heartfelt and a true analysis of Morris's performance, because even the "Telesports" that supports Millwall has said, "I hope Morris can regain his form in the first half of the schedule!" ”

He also said, "Morris's career has not yet reached the point of decline, and no one wants to see a genius who starts to perform mediocre before the age of thirty, and he should have more glory days." ”

Italians all read the report.

The Italian media could not have imagined that the reports of their British media colleagues would be untrue, because there are too many similar reports, and even if they speculated maliciously, they knew that there could not be so many British media who would 'deliberately' criticize a player in a ball.

That's not practical.

AC Milan head coach Carlo Ancelotti, like the Italian media, found that there were so many British media criticizing Morris, so he didn't care too much about Morris, he couldn't imagine that there would be such a big mistake in the media's analysis and reporting.

Of course, maybe it's not a mistake.

The British media reports are based on the analysis of Morris's performance in previous months.

Morris was in pretty good form this time.

Carlo Ancelotti also felt a headache, and he couldn't help but lament his bad luck - Morris didn't break out sooner or later, how could he just regain his form in the game against AC Milan?

————

Morris is indeed in good form.

Before, Morris didn't perform badly, but he didn't pursue anything, and his mental state affected his performance, but now it's the opposite, he is much more active on the court, and he feels that he is in great shape.

When you are satisfied with your performance, your mindset will change for the better, and it will also promote better performance.

It's a virtuous circle.

At this time, Morris continued to use running and passing, driving the rhythm of the whole team, defending, attacking, switching between attack and defense again and again, attacking again and again to find loopholes, and when necessary, Morris will personally rush up to give key support to his teammates.

In the 37th minute of the game, Morris directly threatened the AC Milan goal with a straight plug to the right side of the penalty area, and Darren Bent on the heel was affected by the defense of central defender Nesta and missed the opportunity to shoot, which made many fans sigh with regret.

Morris's passing was unanimously praised, and Lineker, a British BBC TV commentator, said with admiration, "From the beginning of the game to the present, Morris is very active, his running position is low, and there are not many opportunities to give assists directly in front of the goal, but occasionally there are opportunities, and you can still see wonderful passes to teammates." ”

"Not to mention the pass just now, Morris also made a great contribution to the offense and defense of the whole Millwall, he is the core of the organization, and he is also the commander of defense and attack, England rarely has such a good view of the overall situation, it is rare that he is also very strong in all aspects, this kind of player is difficult to restrict."

Millwall's 'offensive tide' is not over.

In the past three minutes, it has been Millwall attacking, AC Milan got the ball, always immediately cut off, and they couldn't play any decent cooperation, their mentality seemed to be a little anxious, there was no consistent performance, and the situation was somewhat suppressed.

After goalkeeper Dida sent a goal kick, the ball was snatched to the top by Livermore to Simpson, who passed to Braniff again, and Braniff pushed it to Morris, and the attack was pulled away again.

This wave of offensive was extremely exciting.

On the right side.

Simpson, Braniff, Morris and Vardy in front of them, continued to cooperate with the foot, and several people's passes seemed to be without thinking, and the continuous rolling and changing positions of the football made the AC Milan defense suddenly full of holes, and even Nesta, who was marking Darren Bent, had to come over to restrict.

Nesta only took two steps forward to stop Jamie from dribbling forward.

The AC Milan defence is overstretched and Neda is left unguarded if Nesta doesn't get forward, but for Millwall it's a great opportunity.

Vardy didn't choose to force Nesta, and he couldn't pass the ball to Darren Bent, so he immediately kicked back to Morris.

Darren Bent raised his hand for the ball.

Morris didn't hesitate and pushed a forward pass to Darren Bent, but it was still a little late, full-back Cafu came in time to make up for it, and the former Brazilian captain put a lot of pressure on Darren Bent, who was in a better position, but lost space to shoot, and could only run forward to squeeze the position and stop the ball with his chest.

At the moment of the ball's fall, Darren Bent noticed his team-mate's position and passed the ball back to Morris again.

Morris took a few steps forward to receive the ball, and he was already on the line of the penalty area.

Lineker couldn't help but shout, "Maurice! Maurice—"

The first reaction of any player standing on the line of the penalty area and meeting the ball unguarded is to shoot straight at goal.

The location of Morris is excellent.

Just handed the ball to Darren Bent, everyone was paying attention to Darren Bent, even Nesta took a step back, on the other side Stamm didn't have time to do anything, the retreating Pirlo was still with Braniff, and Morris was empty within two meters.

AC Milan has a huge defensive vacuum!

As the football rolled over, Morris had already glanced left and right, and wanted to shoot directly, but temporarily changed his strength.

Morris tapped the ball to the right and then ran to follow, swinging his right foot high.

"Shot ——!"

Everyone thought it would be a shot, but Morris was not sure, because Nesta rushed in time and happened to block it with his body, and if he chose to shoot directly, the football would probably hit Nesta.

At this moment, Morris's mind was unusually clear, and he noticed that Stam also ran a few steps towards the middle, subconsciously trying to block his shot with his body, but Vardy rushed to the front and there was no one, and the other full-back did not have time to come over to make up for it.

Morris didn't hesitate to point the ball over.

"Yes...... Pass! ”

Lineker's shout suddenly changed pitch, as if accompanied by a pitched melody, and the ball rolled past Nesta's feet and towards Vardy on the other side.

"Vardy! Look at this ball—"

From the moment the attack was launched, Vardy was running forward, he was a player that AC Milan did not pay much attention to, and the defenders around him also alternated, starting with Seedorf, and then replaced by Stamm, when he stood between Stamm and Nesta, neither of them seemed to care, and waited until he ran to the left side of the penalty area, alone in an area, and Stam paid more attention.

That's probably AC Milan's attitude towards 'players who don't have a big name'.

Jamie Vardy, it's hard to get AC Milan's attention.

Now the AC Milan players have paid the price for their carelessness, Vardy doesn't even have to run without any defence, just stands in place and waits for the ball to roll over, he has plenty of time to adjust his centre, plenty of time to take a look at the goalkeeper's position, and plenty of time to swing his foot and prepare to shoot.

Faced with such a good chance, Vardy was comfortable with a putted shot.

It was a shot that pursued angles.

The ball that flew in from Vardy's feet was not fast, but the angle was very tricky, even if goalkeeper Dida was prepared, he knew that he couldn't save it at all at the moment of the save.

Dida can only play the ball flying into the bottom line.

The next moment the cheers erupted at Neil Stadium, which explained the final result, and he didn't have to look to know that the football had rolled into the goal.

————

“Goooooooooooooal!!!”

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Vardy! Vardy! His full name is Jamie Vardy! We must remember the names of this age! ”

'Jamie Vardy scored the first goal!'

"This is the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Millwall vs. AC Milan, just now Vardy scored a goal, Millwall lead 1-0!"

"Remarkable! It's amazing! ”

"Millwall's box was a wonderful combination, their attack was very smooth, and the continuous passes completely tore apart the AC Milan defense, before the wonderful cooperation of Millwall's players, Italy's proud defense seemed to become full of holes, and finally it was the teenager Vardy who completed the goal!"

Lineker shouted excitedly.

Many England fans could understand Lineker's excitement, as few were optimistic about Millwall before the game.

Although the British media unanimously support Millwall, after all, the opponent is the powerful AC Milan, AC Milan in the Champions League, is still very deterrent, even Chelsea, Liverpool, etc., in recent years, the Champions League has performed well, and AC Milan There is still a gap.

It is now widely accepted in European football that there are two teams that are the most difficult to play, one is AC Milan and the other is Barcelona.

Any team that touches them will have a headache.

Millwall have not had a good schedule and they have a much better chance of winning against Manchester United or Chelsea.

In addition, before the game, AC Milan manager Galliani also said that he would try to play as advantageously as possible, and it seems that Millwall was not taken into account at all, in fact, from a certain point of view, there is also a certain truth, AC Milan has the strength to do it.

But Millwall opened the scoring first, and Galliani might be embarrassed.

The camera gave Galliani a shot, he was sitting on the podium, with a solemn expression, as if expressing dissatisfaction with the game, Lineker 'interpreted', "Maybe Galliani is regretting saying that, AC Milan can win, otherwise he will definitely lose face." ”

The Millwall fans in the audience had already begun to cheer wildly.

They shouted excitedly.

A lot of fans don't know what they're shouting, they just want to vent their excitement.

Some of the Milan fans who came to the Stadio Neal covered their eyes in pain, they were affected by the goal and were very disappointed with the situation.

Milan fans came with the confidence that they would win.

At the beginning of the game, Millwall and AC Milan attacked and defended each other, they had nothing to worry about, because it was an away game, and the opponent was not familiar with it, it must take a while to adapt, what I didn't expect was that the opponent could play a tie with AC Milan, and the past few minutes have entered the 'Millwall time', and AC Milan was suppressed for a while.

At that time, they were still not worried, because every Milan fan had some confidence in the team's defence.

Many people even think, "As long as we find an opportunity, we can quickly counterattack and complete the goal!" ”

It turned out to be different from what they thought.

AC Milan had no time to show a strong defensive counter-attack before Millwall broke the goal, and it was an unknown young player who scored the goal.

Milan fans find it impossible to accept, and at the same time they are aware of the crisis.

The Millwall in front of you is not as easy to deal with as you imagined!

Millwall's attack was so brilliant that there was nothing to say, and AC Milan's defense was completely penetrated by a dizzying combination, so what else can be said about such a goal?
