Chapter 501: Refraction into the Net

Carlo Ancelotti chewed gum and looked at the place of the foul, his brow furrowed, not far from the goal, a little forward on the penalty line, but fortunately Valencia's free-kick master Elo did not score from such close range.

But with Iroh's run, Ancelotti actually felt a little nervous, or rather, scared.

So he peeked at the big screen on the pitch, and the game was only 13 minutes long, which was much earlier than the few backup plans he had prepared before the game.

David Silva and Ballack ran past the ball one after another, but neither of them hit the ball, so the wall of five men in AC Milan suddenly became tense, and when Iro's left foot stepped on the left side of the football, the wall of all five people subconsciously jumped, and in their pre-match bad play, Iro's free kicks were all defoliated balls.

In order to strangle the ball in the cradle, AC Milan's five-man wall jumped desperately, especially Kaka and Inzaghi, because they are already the tallest in the team.

But at this moment, no one noticed that Albiol, who was huddled in the middle of the human wall, would suddenly dodge out of position, and Iro's shot of the ball flew just towards the gap in the human wall.

The AC Milan fans behind the goal subconsciously opened their mouths wide and stared at the boss.

Goalkeeper Dida was also disturbed by Albiol who suddenly flashed through the wall, so he was a little slow to react to the football flying through the crack in the wall, and it was too late for him to subconsciously want to make a save.

Bang dang -

The sound of a soccer ball hitting the crossbar of the goal reverberated at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

Suddenly, the AC Milan fans who were present collectively gasped, this luck came too TM at the right time!

※※※

**!

Watching the football hit the crossbar and then flew out of the bottom line, Iroh did not feel as light as at the beginning, but looked up to the sky and sighed, his arms naturally raised, obviously very unhappy that this goal was not scored!

"Another goalpost!!" Andy Gray exclaimed incredulously: "Oh my God, at this moment should I say Valencia's bad luck or AC Milan's good luck?" In less than fifteen minutes into the game, Ai's two must-have goals were denied by the goalpost! ”

“mierda!!” Flores kicked the water bottle in front of him and vented his frustration with a Spanish scolding.

The goalposts of this stadium are too tm to give face!

Of course, at this moment, I don't know how many supporters of Valencia and Iello are insulting the goalpost of the Olympic Stadium in Athens in their own way.

The on-site director reacted quickly, and immediately gave a slow-motion replay just now.

Elo's direct free kick 23 meters from the goal can be easily seen from the slow-motion replay that the football does not spin in the air, and it flies straight to the upper corner of the right side of the goal, even the goalkeeper Dida gave up the save, and the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, which is a pity.

"Ai, your luck is really bad!" As he ran back, David Silva ran over and smiled at Iro.

For this kind of loss of friends and comrades-in-arms, Iroh could only silently raise his middle finger.

The game continued, and Ilo had two direct threats to the goal in the opening fifteen minutes, and the AC Milan defenders increased their defensive strength against him, and Gattuso simply did not hesitate to run with Iro, he basically gave up the attack, whether it was defending or attacking, he was not leaving.

The time suddenly came to the 20th minute of the first half, AC Milan's attack also began to slowly improve a little, Kaka's speed and Seedorf's running position still made Valencia's defensive system a little uncomfortable, coupled with Pirlo's scheduling in the middle and back, the rhythm when switching from defense to attack was also very good, unless it was too good a chance, basically would not take long passes.

Therefore, with the passage of time in the game, AC Milan's possession rate has gone from 73 at the beginning to 6-4 at the beginning, and if they continue to play like this, it is not impossible to tie the proportion of possession.

※※※

Flores' on-the-spot adaptability needed to be improved, but his ability to read the game was good, so he quickly spotted the problem, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he made a two-handed downward motion towards Albelda, signaling the team's attacking tempo to slow down.

The slower pace of the game is also to AC Milan's taste, after all, except for Kaka and Pirlo, the remaining nine starters in their team are more or less over 30 years old, full of star retirement homes.

However, it is such a group of veterans over 30 years old, using their valuable experience to bring the Mesozoic stars Kaka and Pirlo to enter this season's Champions League final, and the veterans should not be underestimated.

No, in the 26th minute of the game, AC Milan organized a very dangerous attack.

Pirlo suddenly pulled a long pass from the back to Kaka on the left side, the change in rhythm made him accustomed to the slow pace of AC Milan when switching from defense to attack, Valencia's defenders were a little slow to react, and Kaka was a very fast attacking scoring striker, which immediately attracted the attention of Moretti and Baraja.

Kaka's change in rhythm with a combination of fast and slow when dribbling in a straight line made Baraja and Moretti lag behind Kaka in a sluggish movement, so Kaka cut the ball inside the box very calmly, and suddenly passed an inverted triangle pass as he approached the edge of the box.

Seedorf, who was running erratically, suddenly appeared on the passing route, and shot a long shot at the incoming ball, but fortunately, goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei's attention was concentrated and blocked the ball out of the bottom line with one palm.

But letting Seedorf get the opportunity to shoot unmarked made Wang Xiaolei very annoyed, regardless of the seniority of every player in the team who was higher than himself, pointed to his eyes with both hands, and roared loudly: "Stand up, stand up!" Concentrate my attention!! ”

Everyone knows Wang Xiaolei's style, but he is right about things and not people, so he didn't blame him, and Baraha and Albiol, who knew that they were out of position, waved their hands to show that they understood.

After this dangerous attack, Valencia's defensive focus became focused and there were no more mistakes from before.

※※※

Another 10 minutes passed in the game, during which both sides put their forces on the midfield in the final, and Valencia's front trio was rarely involved in the defense, so the first defensive task in midfield was handed over to Ballack and Albelda.

Therefore, the two sides started a battle of wits and courage in the midfield, and the number of people in the midfield was dense, so they avoided the opponent's counterattack by breaking the ball, and basically chose to pass forward when they encountered a sandwich, which also made the midfielders of the two teams disjointed, and the football began to fly around in the sky.

In this case, another five minutes passed in the game, which was almost the end of the game.

This period of time is like a year for neutral fans, so the live director also caught a few neutral uncle fans who dozed off watching the game.

In the 43rd minute of the game, the football on the field was still flying in the air.

Some fans didn't think there would be a goal during this time, so they chose to leave their seats and go to the outside of the stadium to buy some burgers and Cokes to fill their stomachs.

But at this moment, AC Milan organized an attack, but to be precise, Baraja stopped the ball a little far from his body at the back, and Inzaghi behind him stabbed the ball back to Ambrosini, and his hurried kick to Inzaghi's foot also kicked it.

The referee saw that the attacker was in favor and signaled the game to continue with both arms to a draw.

Ambrosini did not stop the ball and watched, but opted to send the ball forward with the arch of his right foot, and the ball passed between Ballack and Albelda to Pirlo, who then distributed the ball to Seedorf on the left.

Because this was a mistake by Valencia's backfield, Seedorf, who was holding the ball at this time, did not come forward to interfere, he could calmly look up to find someone, and inserted Inzaghi at high speed at the far end, so he directly made a long pass.

However, this cross did not go past the high point of Albiol, and the football was pushed forward, but at this time, the accident appeared, and Kaka ghostly appeared in the second drop point of the football.

Seeing that Kaka was about to take the ball and shoot from the center of the arc on the periphery of the penalty area, Albelda saw Kaka's path and wanted to break the ball, but Kaka's reaction was faster, and he dodged Albelda's steal with a poke of his toes, and he didn't have time to close his foot, Kaka was kicked to the ground by him.

"David Albelda's foul is a bit irrational, a free kick in this position is very dangerous!" Andy Gray exclaimed.

"Yes, this position is too dangerous!"

Flores also felt a hint of danger on the sidelines, especially after Iello kicked off the crossbar from a free-kick.

Therefore, when the human wall was arranged, Wang Xiaolei was also very nervous, and discharged the human wall of five people.

Looking at Inzaghi, who was stuck at Albelda's side, Airo felt uncomfortable.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.

Iello is a protector of the crowd in the defense of set-pieces, and the wall does not need him.

However, as Pirlo got closer and closer to football, Aillo's sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, which made him suddenly remember watching the live broadcast of the 2006-2007 Champions League final, and sporadically remembered that Pirlo's free kick from the edge of the penalty area hit Inzaghi and refracted into the net, so he yelled at captain Albelda: "Pay attention to Inzaghi!" ”

But it was too late, because Pirlo's free-kick was so powerful that it flew past the far right end of the wall, and then Inzaghi, who was cutting forward, looked back and the ball hit him in the chest and changed direction.

Wang Xiaolei saw the momentum of the ball, and the center of gravity of his body had fallen to the left side of his body, but the football suddenly hit Inzaghi's chest and changed direction, and the football flew to the position where Wang Xiaolei was standing just now.

Elo, who prevented Andrea Pirlo's pass at the far end of the goal, was stunned because of the ...... The soccer ball is refracted into the net.
