Chapter 502: Making a fuss about old age

Although there were four AC Milan players standing in front of the football, everyone knew that it was Andrea Pirlo who took the penalty because he was the number one set-piece player in the AC Milan squad.

With Pirlo's run, except for the five men who did not move, the players of the final in the area on the right side of the penalty area began to surge, constantly vying for positions, both trying to grab a favorable position, and then attack the ball towards the goal or clear the ball.

In the surging of people in the penalty area, Pirlo chose to shoot directly, Wang Xiaolei, who was standing in the middle of the goal, judged excellently, and pounced on the left side of his body when he saw the landing point of the football, but what he never expected was that there was an accident at this time, Inzaghi was going to dodge the angle for Pirlo to shoot, but the football hit his chest, changed direction, and refracted into the net.

Suddenly, the AC Milan fans at the Olympic Stadium in Athens were so excited that the whole stadium was their voice, they did not expect to lead Valencia before the end of the first half, in their minds, it was a rare goal!

You must know that in the first fifteen minutes of the opening game, Valencia's star Elo hit the goal post with two consecutive shots, but Pirlo helped AC Milan take the lead in the game because of the refraction, which made them feel that it was God's will!

Entered the final twice in three years, was reversed by a super reversal, and last year was eliminated because of the semi-finals, and this year it entered the final again, which is completely beyond God's sight, to make up for the championship that AC Milan unfortunately missed!

So the AC Milan fans in the stands were especially excited!

※※※

As the host of the Olympic Stadium in Athens was in the arms of the net, Pirlo and Inzaghi ran to Valencia's corner flag on the right and celebrated wildly.

"Beautiful! Andrea Pirlo's direct free-kick flies into Valencia's goal! The local commentator in Italy went completely crazy at this moment, "At the most critical time, I still rely on the shining moment of the star!! He rewrote the score on the field to 1:0!! ”

At the same time, the stadium director also gave a camera to the AC Milan fans in the stands, and they all hugged each other excitedly, especially the area of AC Milan fans behind Dida, all of whom danced excitedly.

Of course, they never stopped singing the team song "Milan, Milan".

After a while, a slow-motion replay was given at the scene, Huang Jianxiang shook his head, and his tone changed significantly, "The same free kick, Pirlo hit Inzaghi's chest and went into the net in disguise, while Aillo's two consecutive threatening shots hit the post and crossbar, I have to say that sometimes the game is not necessarily the best side to score, luck is also a very important factor!" ”

When there was no slow-motion replay, everyone thought it was Wang Xiaolei's misjudgment, and it was only then that the commentators sympathized with Valencia's plight, and their two consecutive threatening shots were ruthlessly denied by the goal post and crossbar, and Pirlo's free kick was refracted into the net before the end of the first half.

Hyde sighed, "At this moment, our luck is really bad! ”

His commentator, Barry, picked up and said, "yes, we've had a lot of luck......"

The neutral commentator explained: "Philippe Inzaghi is really an opportunist, the lucky one of the team, but I don't know if this goal is counted on Pirlo or Inzaghi......"

※※※

Flores didn't blame the players on the field for conceding the goal, but shook his head helplessly, AC Milan's luck is really good, and sure enough, a series of wasted opportunities will be retributed, but ...... This retribution is too much of a slap in the face, isn't it?

Besides, Iro's two consecutive shots on goal weren't a wasted chance, right? It's all about relying on your own ability to create a chance for ZĂ o to come out, not scoring is the reason for luck, and AC Milan's refraction into the net is also the reason for luck.

In a more official way, the answer is, "Sometimes luck can make the difference between winning and losing a game!" ”

When the game resumed, it was Inzaghi who scored the goal, and it was his 37th goal in the Champions League and his 56th if you count the goals in the three major European cups.

So Inzaghi was very excited when he saw that the name under the big screen was himself, and he kept raising his arms in the stands of the AC Milan fans, and the fans in the stands also responded to him frantically.

Not long after Valencia restarted, the referee on duty, Herbert vandel, blew the end of the first half.

※※※

At the same time, on the way from the stadium to the dressing room, the players on both sides of the final were in very different moods, with the Valencia players in the white jerseys feeling quite heavy and dazed, while the AC Milan players in the red and black striped shirts were talking and laughing, hooking shoulders and backs.

In terms of the entire first half, Valencia's performance was much better than AC Milan's overall performance, and in terms of threatening the ball, Valencia threw off AC Milan a few streets, so often in this case, the lagging side scored a goal beyond the score, which is also a blow to their own confidence, so it is understandable that Valencia's players returned to the dressing room in a daze.

Iello was particularly heavy in his heart, and he was very afraid that he would not be able to change history, because he remembered the 2006-2007 Champions League final as AC Milan defeated Liverpool 2-1, and the first goal was basically the same as his impression, and it was a free kick from Andrea Pirlo that hit Inzaghi and reflected into the net before the end of the first half.

Considering that his two threatening shots in a row were all denied by the post, it was normal for Iroh to think that it was fate playing a joke on him.

And the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

However, his teammates were also in a bad mood, and naturally they didn't notice Iroh's expression.

But Elo, as the star of Valencia, usually cut the camera to him when he left the stadium, so his expression was caught in the eyes of the fans watching the live TV.

I believe that at this moment, commentators from all over the world have also started to explain this scene in various styles.

※※※

Flores personally closed the door to the locker room, and the cheers and singing outside were blocked.

The players were a little ashamed and didn't dare to look up at Flores, because they felt that the result of the first half was completely unrelated to their table and did not match Flores's expectations.

Especially Wang Xiaolei, he felt that he had completely failed Flores's trust, and in such an important Champions League final, he even put himself in the starting line-up, but he was breached.

Even most of the time, the performance is very good.

But being breached in the last minute of the first half is like a striker who was inactive in the first 89 minutes and scored a goal in the last minute to become a hero, and the goalkeeper is even more miserable, even if the whole game is perfect, but conceding in the last minute is unacceptable.

Is the youngest goalkeeper to play in the ever Champions League final going to be a laughing stock?

He didn't know.

The players in the dressing room were all thinking about their own things, but the only difference was that they were all very unhappy with their performances in the first half, especially when they were dominant.

At this time, Flores clapped his palms, walked directly in front of the player, and began to speak: "You don't need to be so pessimistic, it's only the end of the first half, we still have forty-five minutes left, and there is still plenty of time for us to equalize or even overtake the ......"

Hearing this, the mentality of the players has obviously changed.

yes, it's only the end of the first half, and there's still the second half!

Suddenly, everyone's eyes became different and full of fighting spirit.

The fighting spirit in the eyes of Ai Luo and Wang Xiaolei is even more obvious!!

"I believe that before the game, I also told everyone what to do if the game is behind, right? So you need to have the right mentality, the opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, just like Ai's continuous threatening shots after the opening, I have to say, our luck today was a little bit bad, but if we look at the problem in another way, it is a test for God, because we have come all the way from the group stage to the final, and we have not lost ......"

Flores continued.

“

 Suffice it to say, this game is the most important one of our season, we win, there will be the words European Champion written on our heads, lost, nothing! So we have to work hard for our honor, our salary, and all kinds of advertising contracts, and winning AC Milan and winning this season's UEFA Champions League is the confidence for us to negotiate the conditions at that time! ”

What exactly are professional players for? Isn't it just about money and honor?

And the most direct factor that allows them to get more money is how much honor they receive! So when the players present heard this, their eyes subconsciously lit up.

"In the second half, we have to pay attention to the opponent's defensive counterattack, Kaka's speed is what we are afraid of, but don't forget that he also has a very good through ball, in Istanbul two years ago, there was a through ball of more than 40 meters to assist Crespo to score, so Raul needs to pay more attention to Inzaghi's movement, try to avoid using offside tactics, I believe everyone knows his nickname very well, I don't want everyone to make mistakes...... As for the offensive side, everyone still follows the style of play in the first half, first controlling the midfield, and then using the skillful cooperation of the midfield to disrupt the opponent's defense......"

Speaking of which, Flores reminded emphatically, "Maldini has a yellow card on him, if you have the chance, you have to play more on his side, and ...... In the first half, Ai and the two Davids still had too little contact, but I remember that your cooperation was very tacit! ”

The trio of Arlo and David Villa and David Silva looked at each other, and they did have a lot less contact in the first half, it seemed ...... In the second half, you have to work together a lot and then make a fuss about the aging of AC Milan's defenders.
