Chapter 258: Who's So Fast
5 June 2001, just after 7 p.m., San Siro Stadium. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The breeze is drizzling, and the house is full of friends.
As Lyman and Rossi emerged from the players' tunnel almost simultaneously, the sound of majestic music suddenly sounded, awakening the sleeping spirit of competition.
The shouts gradually went higher, shaking all the erected eardrums, impacting every body eager to challenge, precipitating from a pair of eyes to a heart, beating with the heartbeat of "bang bang bang".
This moment, on top of the world!
As the figures appeared, stories began to circulate about them.
Although the fastest narration can't go into detail about their growth experience and brilliant achievements, in the hearts of those who follow them all the way, all the pictures are treasured in their memories, and they can be checked out at any time, spending leisurely afternoons, long dark nights, and countless days and nights.
Now, it's time to write memories again, what are they thinking?
The camera camera couldn't find an answer, so it had to shift its focus and focus on the trophy that was high above.
The trophy is so big that many people's hearts can't fit it, and many people can't lift their arms. So the camera turned again to find the two most dazzling names in the starry name!
There was already a concerted shout from Arsenal's side, relaxed and pleasant. You Mo also waved his hand in a certain direction from time to time, and his facial expression was rich, as if it was a solo concert of his.
AC Milan have dominated the home field, and their captain, World Footballer of the Year '94, Paolo Maldini, is on his way to the third peak of his life, and their cheers are the best booster!
So you sang on both sides and I appeared again, the game has not yet started, and the atmosphere of needle-to-wheat has been ignited!
It's a pity that the two parties didn't have any for tat meaning, and the following handshake was all a smile, and Maldini even took the initiative to close the distance and pat each other's back. You Mo was not far behind, in addition to nodding and smiling, he also said something.
What did you say?
Everyone's appetite was aroused, and You Mo's friends were no exception.
Considering that there were too many people, it might not be possible to sit in the box, so I simply moved the battlefield to the open-air stands and felt the baptism of the soul in the breeze and drizzle.
The opportunity was so rare that everyone's hearts raced, it was difficult to breathe, and they had to stop and rest after shouting a few times.
They are not like the average fan, they have the opportunity to play alongside him. The opportunity is so rare that the thought of it makes my heart pound and my head is dizzy.
"A year, a whole year, 365 days, how is it, do you have faith?"
Wang * Dan is the most excited one, sensationalism is even better, as soon as the words came out, the high-pitched voice that was uncontrollable quickly enveloped the entire stands, and the camera lenses were attracted.
She is also at the peak of her life, and it is the right time to express her passion.
"If we have faith, why don't we sing a song and cheer him on with our own voices?"
"I'll get up, everyone follow!"
"Five-star red flag, fluttering in the wind......"
As soon as the words fell, the loud singing completely ignited the more than 5,000 Chinese people present, and the sudden roar shocked the entire Stade de France!
Although the vast majority of people can't understand it, music has no borders, emotions have no skin color, and the pride and affection in the song go straight into the heart, so that all the ears that listen carefully will never let go.
You Mo was also listening carefully, he stood straight, like a tall pine, standing on the vast grassland.
You sing, I listen.
I know your heart best.
Your expectation, my glory!
"Wow, that's fun!"
This very special cheering group became the focus of the whole stadium after singing, and the limelight seemed to overshadow the players who had already separated on both sides of the half to prepare for the game.
As one of them, Zhang Xiaorui's excited hands trembled.
The others weren't much better, they were all yelling, like a bunch of guys who had just traveled abroad.
Wang * Dan originally cared most about the image, but he didn't have the heart to care about it at this time, so he let them be crazy and noisy.
She is hosting the Guess Guess show, and the object is Lu Wei, who looks like he is in pain.
"Maldini heard that it is very powerful, and this position is just on the same level as Mo Mo, with your professional vision, there will be various results?"
It's not fun, and he added: "The two people seem to know each other very well, do they know each other?" ”
Lu Wei was finally able to find something to talk about and comfort from the state of egg pain, so he used all his strength and said: "On the surface, the two people don't know each other, but in fact, they are very likely to have heard of each other......"
Wang * Dan couldn't listen to it anymore, his apricot eyes were raised, and he interrupted: "Don't treat me as a reporter, come and do some dry goods!" ”
Lu Wei had no choice but to explain carefully: "I've heard of the temperament of a wealthy family, what else is there besides ambition, toughness, and refusal to admit defeat?" ”
Wang Dan was in the stage of IQ arrears, so he had to ask, "What else?" ”
Lu Wei has always been patient in the face of female comrades, and in the face of this brainless rhetorical question, he actually nodded, with a look of "as I expected", and said happily: "Loyalty." ”
Wang Dan waited for a long time to get such a simple answer, and he was angry for a while, "The wealthy family has a big business, who doesn't want to be in it, fame and fortune?" ”
Lu Wei was not in a hurry or annoyed when he heard this, his eyes turned to the field, and he didn't speak slowly until the opening whistle sounded.
"The so-called loyalty is not the kind of foolish loyalty that ancient kings liked most. In fact, the men in your family don't like those who talk about loyalty at every turn, but ignore the laws of nature and rely on the old to sell the old. ”
"True loyalty is not about choosing a team to die out."
"They will keep the whole club in their hearts, and the list on their shoulders will be heavier than anyone else's, but they will never feel that they are giving too much and getting too little."
"Even if they choose to leave, it's because the club's sign will be brighter!"
……
The much-anticipated game finally started, and all eyes were immediately firmly attracted, and they couldn't extricate themselves at all!
High, the level is really high!
Fast, the pace is too fast!
The two teams clearly don't know each other, and the record of playing each other in the Champions League goes back 13 years, but it is not noticeable at all. It seems that it has long been familiar, and as soon as you come up, you will take out a real knife and a real gun, and you will come and go without reservation!
Such an open attitude has attracted a burst of exclamations, and even the high-spirited AC Milan fans were surprised, let alone the Arsenal fans who only want results.
The pros were no exception, with less than five minutes into the game showing no sign of changing the scoreline and the buzz of the game before the shots on goal were few and far between.
The argument is very focused.
Since the pre-game preparation is not sufficient, why not play steadily and explore the truth first?
"Wenger is too anxious, probably because of the three fires in the new office, and he plans to use his strength to play out the momentum and set the tone of the game."
With Lu Wei here, Zhang Xiaorui was obviously a little lacking in confidence, and looked around after speaking.
As a result, I didn't expect that Li Tie, who has always been silent and low-key, actually expressed a different opinion first.
"Arsene Wenger is an old man, and he said that he was a new official, but in fact, he didn't need to find out one by one, just by watching the game, he knew what the state of his players was."
After a slight pause, the voice became seductive.
"If you think about it, no matter how big the changes are at Arsenal, the tactical system is still based on ground penetration, supplemented by quick counter-attacks. What's more, when Wenger was away, the team won 16 games in a row, and there was no confidence problem at all, and the run-in problem was even more nonsense! ”
Hearing this, Li Jingyu asked curiously: "In that case, what does it mean to be so fast, to test the opponent?" ”
Li Tie has never had such a beautiful time, and he was full of spirit for a while, and his voice was impassioned, "Wenger's tactics have always been based on me, no matter whether the opponent is strong or not, his own things must be taken out in the best condition." To put it bluntly, this is a manifestation of self-confidence, the pursuit of the realm, not the victory over the opponent! ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded, and everyone was sighing for a while.
The weight of the game is so heavy that whoever sits in Wenger's position will feel that the burden on his shoulders is extremely heavy, and he must be careful in every move, lest he make a wrong step or make a wrong step.
Even if someone takes the blame, the head coach who took office in a hurry will not become a sinner for the ages because of losing the game, but any guy with a heart will not have a fluke mentality because of this situation, let alone pass the responsibility.
But under such heavy pressure, Wenger still did not give up his pursuit, and actually regarded the Champions League final as an opportunity for the team to continue to break through, and regarded the opponent as a sparring partner!
What's more, it's the opponent's home field, an incomparably strange opponent!
What an atmosphere!
"Focusing on me is not to ignore the opponent and play as he pleases, but to pursue the ultimate and make the opponent take care of one or the other through team combat."
In a noisy atmosphere, Lu Wei spoke as if no one was around, and Yao Xia listened as if no one was listening.
"Just like practicing martial arts, after reaching a certain level, any opponent is an object to improve strength, and the stronger the better."
"They don't spend all their time studying their opponents' weaknesses, they have the confidence to expose their weaknesses."
Hearing this, Wang Dan couldn't help it.
"That means AC Milan is going to have problems playing like this?"
Lu Wei nodded, his voice full of longing.
"Carlo Ancelotti still underestimated Arsene Wenger, thinking that Arsenal was deeply disturbed by negative news off the field, and the team was changing managers on the spot, and it was inevitable to be cautious away against very unfamiliar opponents."
"I didn't expect that Wenger is also a bastard!"
……
The fierce battle made the spectators excited, and the situation of you coming and going really made it difficult to see which side was more dominant. It is difficult to say, including discerning professionals, whether Arsenal's dominance translates into goals, let alone the winners and losers of the game.
After all, it's a game of confrontation, and it's not uncommon to get out of the way.
As a result, the atmosphere was wave after wave, cheers came and went, and fans on both sides thought that their teams were performing better, and their opponents were dying.
The performance of the two coaches is also very different, although there is anxiety on his face, the confidence in his expression is never far away.
Only those who are very familiar with Wenger can sense an unusual hint from the hands that are clenched into fists from time to time.
Don't......
In the 9th minute of the game, AC Milan broke the ball through continuous midfield battles and began to press the territory.
The Rossoneri's morale was high as the previous two attacks resulted in shots, and after a skilful combination, the ball passed through the opposition's midfield blockade and into the outside of the penalty area on the left.
Arsenal's defensive enthusiasm is not weaker than attacking, and Youmo returned to his own half early to help Lauren build a fence.
Considering that the latter was injured in the last game and his form was doubtful after his return, the former's offensive performance was a little damp, and the game played for almost ten minutes without a single personal breakthrough.
This kind of performance is not good for a right midfielder, let alone Mr. Ballon d'Or.
AC Milan's players were very cautious at the beginning, as long as they got the ball when defending, they were close, protected, and blocked the ball path. After repeated petty fuss, vigilance has decreased.
It's not about taking the enemy lightly, it's about the fierce attack, and unless you are prepared, it's hard to instinctively focus your defense on a guy who seems to be doing nothing.
Considering that their captain Maldini was almost unmatched in his individual defensive ability, the Rossoneri began to feel comfortable and bold in their midfield and soon established an advantage.
This time was no exception, after the ball was cut off in the middle, the Arsenal players all returned to defend, and even Thierry Henry returned to his own half to participate in the defense.
Not to mention, Yu Mo has retreated all the way to the outside of his own big penalty area, and he looks like he is not a threat except for defense.
Despite this, AC Milan were unfazed by the situation in front of them, with two centre-backs defending their own half, one left and one right, with Gattuso's attention always on Thierry Henry. Even Maldini didn't show anything after the assists came up, the passing was decent, and the individual breakthrough was purely YY.
This sense of precaution is one of the characteristics of Italian players, and only a handful of attacking talents can simply use their talents without thinking about defence. Others have been instilled with a whole set of defensive philosophies from an early age, and the rise of offense will not make the defensive line vulnerable.
Because of this, the Italian team has always had excellent results in major competitions, but there are very few games with big scores.
This time was no exception, AC Milan began to fall backwards after attacking 30 meters in front, unhurried and quite methodical.
It's a pity that thunder doesn't rain alone.
Arsenal have set up a three-tiered defensive formation, and the defensive improvement brought about by 16 consecutive wins is clearly beyond the ability of the Rossoneri to break through the dense defence, except for low crosses and long-range shots, other means will not work.
Considering Bierhoff was struggling in the middle of the box, the ball eventually opted for a low cross.
Ambrosini took the ball on the left flank, slammed his left foot in the face of Lauren's frontal defense, and began to cut inside.
Arsenal's overall defensive formation immediately shifted to the right, and even Youmo retreated to a metre in front of the penalty line, only two or three metres away from the baseline.
Despite this, Ambrosini's right-footed arc still found Maldini at high speed!
Go down, cross!
The ball crossed a wonderful arc and flew straight into the middle of the penalty area!
The side coordination is wonderful, but it's a pity to underestimate the opponent's defensive ability in the middle!
Campbell spotted the landing point, flew sideways, and cleared the siege before Bierhoff!
The ball flew out of the penalty area slowly, and the sigh suddenly rang out, completely muffling out the small exclamation!
Who is so fast?
