537. A chance to prove yourself
October 24th.
It was another early morning, and Zhan Tianjun started his work.
Although it was close to three o'clock, his spirit still maintained a slight excitement:
"In five minutes' time, the highlight of the third round of the Champions League group stage will be played at the San Siro Stadium, and we can see that the players from both sides have already walked out of the dressing room and are making final preparations in the tunnel ......"
In the picture, Barcelona, who were playing away, was the first to come out, and the most recognizable players in football lined up in a long line.
Captain Xavi, goalkeeper Valdés, defenders Pique, Mascherano, Alves, Adriano, midfielders Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets, and the forward trident are Alexis Sanchez, Neymar and Messi.
Left wing-back Adriano is the weakest of the starting eleven, but as a rotational defender, he scored six goals in 33 appearances in all competitions last season, and in the first eight league games this season, he made seven appearances and scored two goals.
On the home side, the overall starlight is undoubtedly much bleaker.
Captain Kaka, goalkeeper Amelia, defenders Abate, Mex, Zapata, Konstant (cameo), midfielders Muntari, De Jong, Ronjut, Montolivo, striker Balotelli.
Among Milan's starting 11, Lonsette alone can play the main role in Barcelona, and even Kaka may only be able to use Iniesta as a substitute - after all, his style is not compatible with Barcelona's system, and Lonsette does not need a system......
I only heard Zhan Tianjun comment:
This is the seventh meeting between Milan and Barcelona in three consecutive seasons and the 14th in the history of the two teams, which equals the Champions League record held by Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but Milan have been completely disadvantaged in the results of the meetings in recent years, and have been eliminated by their opponents every time.
On top of that, it was the 140th official Champions League game of Barcelona vice-captain Xavi, and he overtook legendary Milan captain Paolo Maldini to become the third-best player in the Champions League. ”
As soon as his words fell, the camera showed Maldini sitting on the bench, the technical director's expression was very serious, and it was obvious that he was a little unhappy with Xavi's surpassing himself......
-
Messi, who was standing at the end of the line, didn't take a second to find the back of Longshut in the other team.
The jersey on Ronshette has changed from pure red to red and black, but the number is still 8.
Messi took a deep look, then exhaled a long breath of heat.
He felt his heart beat uncontrollably!
Come on, Leo!
Messi let out a cry from the bottom of his heart.
This is the best chance to prove that you are still at the top!
Defeat him, and you will be the strongest!
-
"Hi, Xavi."
Harvey heard Kaka greeting him.
He also politely extended his right hand to the other party:
"Hi Ricardo, it's nice to see you again."
Kaka played for Real Madrid for four seasons and played Barcelona almost 10 times, and although he was almost a substitute for the next two years, Xavi certainly knows a lot about him as a sworn enemy of La Liga.
When hearing that Kaka had left the top giants and returned to the declining Milan, Xavi actually had sympathy and pity for the former Brazilian king, after all, as top players, they all have some sympathy for each other.
But today he saw a relaxed and confident smile on Kaka's face, which was very different from the Brazilian who always lived in deep pain in the later stages of Real Madrid.
Kaka smiled and handed the AC Milan flag to Xavi, then shook hands again:
"Hopefully it's a good game."
-
"Drop!"
Referee Felix Bricht from Germany blew the whistle.
Neymar nudged the football, Messi passed back to the back, and the game officially began.
For Messi, this game is very important, and it is no different for Lonshit.
He wants to prove that even in Milan, he is still the invincible number one in the world, and he cannot lose to Barcelona as an opponent casually.
So he had to win!
-
“…… That's it for both sides to start the game, and judging from the performances in the opening minutes, both teams were more cautious, and the game played for four or five minutes, and neither Barcelona nor Milan launched too threatening attacks......"
Zhan Tianjun looked at the Barcelona players who kept falling and shrugged his shoulders slightly.
张路Ze interface says:
"It's understandable to be cautious, after all, there are too many players in both teams who can change the situation in an instant, and once one side makes a mistake, it is very likely that the other side will be caught and take advantage of it......"
Before his words fell, the situation on the field changed abruptly.
In the 6th minute, Lonshit took the ball into the Barcelona half and crossed with Kaka, and then suddenly flew over Pique's head with a pick-up ball and found Kaka who was inserted into the penalty area from the middle!
Kaka is a tackle shot when he meets the ball!
The ball flies into the net!
"Beautiful! The goal is in! ”
Zhan Tianjun raised his voice an octave:
"The cooperation between the two Golden Globe gentlemen is very tacit...... Ah, the referee blew for offside? ”
Kaka, who was just about to celebrate, had to reluctantly explain to the referee, but Brishi firmly pointed to the assistant referee and told the Milan deputy that it was an offside position.
The stands at the San Siro couldn't help but let out a burst of boos:
What kind of rubbish referee, where is this offside?!
"Even with slow-motion replay, we couldn't be 100% sure it was an offside because Kaka started so fast! I don't know how the linesman saw it. ”
Zhan Tianjun had no choice but to complain, because he really couldn't determine whether Kaka was offside or not......
"Don't take it personally."
Long Shute gave Kaka a thumbs up and comforted him casually:
"I guarantee you still have a chance to score."
What he didn't expect was that Kaka didn't have a look of remorse, but grinned:
'I also promise that you will have a chance to score as well.'
Long Shute suddenly felt that his eyes were sparked by the sun!
-
The opportunity soon came again.
Just two minutes later, Milan were back in the Barcelona half.
Abate's long pass from the right was found by Busquets to get in position and head in before Balotelli.
It's just that his relief is not forward, but rubbed behind him.
There was no way, there were two superstars standing in front of him, Kaka and Longshut, who both had a long-range shot, and of course he could only choose to pass back......
But in front of his return pass, Barcelona's centre-back partner made the lowest mistake.
Mascherano volleys the ball into Pique's shoulder!
Balotelli immediately raised his right hand and signaled to the referee that it was a penalty, but two red and black figures swept by him at the same time!
"Barcelona made a mistake in clearance! A godsend in Milan! ”
Zhan Tianjun raised his arms and shouted:
"Long Shute and Kaka double ghosts knock on the door! Who can stop their speed?! ”
No one can stop it.
When Pique saw Ronshit pass under his nose, he could only reach out and grab it in vain.
He didn't even have a chance to turn around and chase back, he was taken away by his own inertia, and fell to the top of the arc of the big forbidden area!
Mascherano had a chance to get Kaka down the other side with a flying tackle, but ...... It was Long Shut who chased the football, and even if he kicked Kaka into the stands, it didn't do anything......
Then he regretted it.
Ronshit, who burst into the penalty area, confronted the goalkeeper, but in Valdés' frightened eyes, he did not shoot directly, but flicked the ball sideways with the outside instep!
"Fake shot, real pass!"
Zhan Tianjun couldn't help but break his voice.
Valdés' eyes turned to despair in an instant!
If Longshute shoots straight at goal, he still has at least 20% hope of touching the football!
But he chose to pass it sideways...... Valdés' position in the opposite direction has long been empty!
Mascherano is even more desperate!
He should have kicked Kaka off the sidelines!
Otherwise...... How is it possible for this Brazilian to be outflanked from the rear point ?!
Kaka's footsteps were so light, his right foot was like a dragonfly in water, and with a light stab on the sideways football, the black and white ball jumped into the goal seven or eight meters away in a straight line!
The San Siro Stadium finally erupted in a huge cheer:
"In the 9th minute, Milan 1-0!"
"Goalscorer, No. 22, Kaka!"
