The essence of the 283 Christmas tree formation
In fact, the moment the ball flew into the goal, Chen Xi was stunned. Because although he consciously drove the ball towards the goal just now, he definitely didn't think about shooting directly. It can be said that it was a bonus!
Even so, Chen Xi still knew that he seemed to have scored another goal, and it was scored at the San Siro Stadium, how could he let go of this opportunity to celebrate?
So, after coming back to his senses, Chen Xi ran directly to the north stand where the Liverpool fans were. Frantically waving their arms, signaling them to celebrate a little more enthusiastically!
Chen Xi knows that for Liverpool fans, it must be a wonderful feeling to be able to cheer at the San Siro. So he's also letting the fans enjoy this wonderful feeling!
Liverpool fans are also very much on the lookout, and their cheers have once again reached **. After shouting Chen Xi's name, they sang the team song "You will never walk alone".
At this time, the AC Milan fans at home also recovered from the shock of conceding the goal, and they naturally couldn't stand it when they watched the opposing fans sing on their own turf, and soon silenced the Liverpool team's singing with boos.
Of course, their boos were also given to Chen Xi. This guy is actually in San Siro to tune in the atmosphere, do you think this is your home field?
These AC Milan fans obviously don't know that for Chen Xi, whether it is home or away, it will never affect his passion to celebrate the goal!
Soon, Chen Xi's teammates also ran towards Chen Xi excitedly one by one!
Although they knew there was some luck in the goal, they were very excited to take the lead at the San Siro.
"Well done, Edison!"
"It seems that God is on our side today!"
"Yes! We can't live up to God's back, we're going to win this game! ”
…… Chen Xi smiled and hugged his teammates one by one to celebrate, he also felt that God seemed to favor him more today, so he couldn't waste it.
"Let's look at the goal just now, Edison's corner kicks are very high-quality, fast, and the arc is relatively flat. But in the middle of the penalty area, there was a sudden fall, and it was this that caught the defenders off guard. After that, the actions of the players of the two teams also interfered greatly with goalkeeper Dida, so that the Brazilian goalkeeper could not make a judgment at the first time, so he could only watch the ball fly into the goal. Although this ball has some luck component, it is also a reflection of Edison's excellent footwork! ”
Conceding such a goal is obviously a heavy blow for the AC Milan players. But after all, they are stars who have experienced strong winds and waves, and even Kaka, who is a rising star, is a member of the 02 World Cup champion Brazil. So, after the restart of the game, their emotions were not disturbed too much!
In the first attack after the restart, Pirlo took a direct kick from a 45-degree angle on the right flank to help Shevchenko complete a very dangerous header!
It's a pity that the Ukrainian nuclear warhead was not completely shaken under the interference of Hyypia, and the ball was not thrown by him, and finally missed the far post!
This made the AC Milan fans at the scene feel a lot of regret.
Liverpool's morale was also boosted after the goal, so they also looked very positive in attack.
In an attack, the big black Husky actually played a back-to-back ball with Irving. Unfortunately, in the end, Husky's long-range shot still caught his bottom, and the ball was blasted directly into the stands.
Since Shevchenko is the only one in the AC Milan penalty area, AC Milan is more likely to create shooting opportunities through the cooperation at the edge of the penalty area when he does not have a great attacking opportunity!
Halfway through the game, Seedorf took advantage of one of Kaka's running covers and took the ball to complete a heavy bombardment!
As a well-known heavy gunner in European football, the Dutchman's long-range shooting ability is quite strong. He even scored several long-range shots from 35 yards out.
This time, Seedorf's long-range shot was also full of power, but the angle was not particularly tricky. Blocked by Dudek with one hand!
From the ensuing corner, AC Milan failed to cause much trouble for Liverpool.
In this game, Luis Garcia, who was entrusted with the task by Benitez, is also fighting for the opportunity to perform!
He faced the tall Georgian Kaladze on the right flank, with Luis Garcia showing his agility at his feet.
With almost half an hour to play, he used a series of foot shakes to get past Kaladze and into the penalty area!
After attracting the reinforcement, Luis Garcia knocked the ball across the middle of the box!
Just when Owen, who was outflanked in place, was about to meet the ball and push it, Gattuso, who was defending to the penalty area, suddenly stabbed the ball away with a sliding tackle.
Owen fired a right foot directly at Gattuso and fell to the ground.
This caused the Liverpool fans in the stands to launch a disgruntled boo, and in their opinion, Gattuso's tackle from behind was definitely a foul and they deserved a penalty!
Luis Garcia also ran to the referee for the first time, signaling that he should award a penalty!
However, the referee ignored their interference and ran to the penalty area to signal Owen to get up, and the game continued!
Owen also knew that Gattuso had tackled the ball, so he didn't argue too much, got up from the court, stomped hard with his right foot on the crust a few times to make sure there was no problem, and then re-entered the game.
While the Liverpool team was arguing because Owen fell to the ground in the penalty area, AC Milan had already launched a counterattack!
The ball was kicked out of the penalty area by Nesta and came to the feet of Pirlo, who received the ball and turned around and made a long pass directly to the feet of Kaka on the left side!
After receiving the ball, Kaka dribbled towards the middle, and when he dribbled the ball, Shevchenko suddenly cut into the box.
Kaka made a gesture to pass the ball and retracted his foot after seeing Shevchenko close to the defender, but at this time, Seedorf appeared on the line of the penalty area.
This time, Kaka, without hesitation, passed the ball directly!
Seedorf was now with his back to goal and Xavi Alonso was behind him to defend him from turning.
It's just that the Dutchman didn't intend to turn around at this time, and in the face of Kaka's pass, Seedorf suddenly cleverly knocked the ball into the box with his back heel, and the ball passed Xavi Alonso behind him, and at the same time rolled into the box between the two central defenders!
Shevchenko was in an offside position, he didn't catch the ball because he had already seen Kaka inserted at high speed!
It turned out that after passing the ball, Kaka went straight into the penalty area at high speed. In the face of Seedorf's extremely clever pass, Kaka screamed in his heart for comfort.
Although he has only been with AC Milan for less than half a season, Kaka has cultivated an excellent chemistry with his big brother, who is six years older than him. Carlo Ancelotti apparently found out about that too, which is why he put Rui Costa on the bench and Kaka and Seedorf behind Shevchenko.
In fact, for many years to come, the tacit understanding between the old and the young will also be an important means in AC Milan's offensive routine!
When Seedorf passed, the Liverpool players saw Shevchenko in an offside position, so everyone raised their hands to signal that the Ukrainian was offside, and they didn't realize that something was wrong until they saw Kaka plug in at high speed.
By the time Hyypia was once again speeding up to catch up, it was too late to go evil. With no injuries, Kaka's speed is quite fast!
Dudek in front of goal had already chosen to attack when Seedorf passed the ball, but Kaka still got the ball before he did.
After Kaka received the ball, he didn't adjust too much, and Dudek pushed the ball directly into the far corner in the face of the attack!
Dudek subconsciously stretched out his leg to block the ball, and the ball changed direction slightly, but it still rolled towards the goal.
Carragher has also been pushing back and made a tackle in the hope of hooking the ball before it crosses the line. Unfortunately, his efforts failed, and the ball rolled into the goal before he could slip over!
“it`s~a~gooooooooooooal!!! Kaka! Kaka! Kaka!!! It's definitely a classic match! Seedorf's back-heel pass was as elegant as that 'dream waltz' of his compatriot Bergkamp. Kaka, on the other hand, is the embodiment of his speed to the fullest. Although Shevchenko was not involved in this attack, he did not contribute a lot to the interference he caused to Liverpool in an offside position before or in an offside position. These three plus Pirlo, who previously passed the ball to Kaka, is the essence of Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation! ”
Boom~~~ The stands of San Siro also erupted in a tsunami of cheers from AC Milan fans. This sound is much louder than the cheers of the Liverpool fans just now!
Ancelotti also rushed to the sidelines excitedly, waving his arms. There was a joyful smile on his round face.
After the goal, Kaka rushed to the sideline excitedly and then made his trademark celebration, pointing his hands to the sky.
This action has a lot of meaning. As a child, Kaka made a mistake in a dive that caused a broken vertebrae that could have ended his football career, but he persevered. Kaka believes that it was the power of Jesus that made him heal, and he points to the heavens after each goal to thank Jesus for his gifts.
Kaka's celebration, although not as inflammatory as Chen Xi's, still excites the AC Milan fans in the stands.
What about you have Edison? We've got Kaka! That's what many AC Milan fans think.
For Kaka, Chen Xi admires it very much. However, after they equalized the score like this, Chen Xi was still quite depressed.
Although a draw would have been enough for Liverpool to secure top spot in the group, Chen has never been a utilitarian player. He's always on the lookout for victory, and preferably a beautiful one!
Therefore, Chen Xi can't be satisfied with this draw!
So, not long after the game restarted, Chen Xi led the Liverpool team to launch a threatening attack.
Chen Xi, who won the ball on the left side of the midfield, advanced with the ball at high speed, knocked the ball to Gerrard before Ambrosini came over, and then continued to plug in at high speed!
Gerrard spotted Chen Xi and passed the ball to Chen Xi after shaking off Ambrosini.
After Chen Xi received the ball, he didn't wait for Cafu to get close, and suddenly stabbed the ball into the penalty area with the outside of his right foot, because he had already seen Husky inserted!
Chen Xi's pass was extremely sudden, not only did the AC Milan defenders have no time to react, but even Husky didn't expect Chen Xi to pass the ball like this, so he ran a little too far!
He rubbed the brakes and wanted to turn around to catch the ball, but he found that the ball was very fast, so he had to give up the idea of taking the ball, but stretched out his foot to block the ball in gear, and the ball bounced back to the front of the penalty area!
Gerrard, who had just passed the ball, had already intervened, and in the face of Heskey's return, Gerrard directly picked up his right foot and slammed the ball into the near corner of the goal!
Dida in front of the goal showed his extremely fast reaction speed at this time, and he flew sideways and held the ball up with the palm of his right hand. After the ball changed direction, Bang hit the near post with a bang, bounced back into the goal, and then Nesta broke the touchline with a preemptive kick!
"Oh~~~ Liverpool played a wonderful front-court combination, but Gerrard's powerful long-range shot was saved by Dida. All I can say is that Gerrard shoots beautifully and Dida makes a wonderful save! ”
Oh~~~ The Liverpool fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret.
And the home fans, after giving a doctor's exclamation, gave a round of applause to Dida, who made a wonderful save.
Benitez on the sidelines waved his hand depressedly, it was a great opportunity just now!
Ancelotti, who was in front of the other coach's box, frowned and shouted at the players in the field. Obviously, he is very dissatisfied with the situation that the team discharged a three-back formation, but was still calmly shot by the opponent!
Gattuso, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Gerrard just now, also looked apologetic at this time, because he did leak someone just now. At the same time, he also knows in his heart that a player like Gerrard must not relax in any way towards him, otherwise he may give the team a fatal blow at any time!
Gerrard scratched at his short hair in frustration, regretting why he hadn't been tricky a little longer, and then Dida would obviously not be able to save. You know, it's just a little bit off!
