Chapter 418: Two Opponents
The commentators only commented on Zhang Tiehan's expression, and the feeling of the AC Milan players on the pitch was more obvious and intuitive, especially the few people who played against Zhang Tiehan, Gattuso, Pirlo, Kaladze and AC Milan's goalkeeper Dida.
Three players plus a goalkeeper, none of them could stop Zhang Tiehan and couldn't stop him from scoring.
Zhang Tiehan faced the defense of several people, revealing superb foot skills, which surprised them, and other AC Milan players who watched Zhang Tiehan's goal were also surprised, to say that AC Milan players, in fact, still have a lot to know about Zhang Tiehan, in last season they and Roma are direct competitors, of course they have to study the opponent's information, but against Rome, they only suffered a loss and did not take advantage of a little, all because of Zhang Tiehan's crazy expression.
In this way, they naturally want to understand Zhang Tiehan.
But in their understanding, Zhang Tiehan is definitely not close to his superb skills, he definitely can't play a player like him just now, the strange thing is here, and now they are very surprised to see Zhang Tiehan score such a goal.
How is that possible?
In the past, Zhang Tiehan was enough to give them a headache, but now how should they deal with Zhang Tiehan like this?
The AC Milan players were a little disheartened when they thought about it.
As the head coach of AC Milan, Ancelotti was also very surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Tiehan to grow so much in a year, and his only look was a wry smile.
Yes, a wry smile!
What else can he do with this ball, against Zhang Tiehan?
Think about last season, Zhang Tiehan won the European Golden Boot Award with a goal in Serie A in Rome. That award is the crowning honor for a European striker's goalscorer, but it's not actually fair.
Previously, there was no league rating system for the European Golden Boot, so back in 1976, Cypriot striker Kaiafas had already scored 39 goals for Nicosia Omonia to win the Golden Boot. This caused widespread dissatisfaction, with some pointing out that the league was too substandard and that the award was not worthy of the name.
As a result, in 1997, the selection of the Golden Boot began to implement the points judging, which stipulated that the points awarded to the Golden Boot winners were multiplied by the number of league goals scored and the points coefficient.
This is how the Golden Boot is judged now.
There are two Champions League places with a league points coefficient of 1.5 and one Champions League place with a league points coefficient of 1.
In addition, points accrued before and after a player's transfer. However, when transferring from a single-year league to a cross-year league, points cannot be accumulated.
It was thought that the system would make the results of the Golden Boot more convincing, but the new system did not make the top four league scorers at the highest level of the European league the "masters" of the Golden Boot.
For many seasons, only Ronaldo, Phillips, Ma Kai, Zhang Tiehan and a few other players from the five major leagues, small league scorers are often more likely to win the Golden Boot award, because the defensive intensity of small leagues is not very high, and many small league scorers can even score more than 40 goals in a single season.
Even in the big five leagues, the Golden Boot is unfair, so far. Only Zhang Tiehan has won the Golden Boot for Serie A, except for him, Serie A has never had a Golden Boot, and no shooter has worn the Golden Boot in the Bundesliga, which has a sharper attack.
That said, the Golden Boot is unfair.
Italy's league belongs to the top five leagues, which is a little weaker, and the defense of Serie A is still the best in the world. So it's too difficult for Serie A to produce a Golden Boot, especially the first winner of the Golden Boot Award. But Zhang Tiehan did it, which is also an important reason why Zhang Tiehan's value in Rome has doubled.
He didn't win any club honours, but his value has risen surprisingly high, and the European Golden Boot has played a very important role.
Such a player who can win the European Golden Boot Award in Serie A is definitely the best in the world!
But just such a player, is still growing?
Ancelotti couldn't believe it.
And now his team has to face such an opponent. A somewhat scary opponent, even if Ancelotti knows a little about Zhang Tiehan, but now he still feels that before the game, the team's defense, especially Zhang Tiehan's defense. The arrangement is somewhat lacking.
He called Captain Nesta, "Watch out for his defense!" Be sure to pay attention! Don't let him get a chance to get his feet there! ”
He constantly emphasized.
Nesta nodded, he knew that the ball just now was also related to the team's defensive mistakes, and it was Gattuso and Kaladze who defended Zhang Tiehan, a full-back with a back, and their ability to protect the goal was not very strong.
If he was there, the opponent would not have gotten the chance to shoot with his feet at will.
That's Nesta's self-confidence
In the Liverpool dugout, Benitez was very relieved to see Zhang Tiehan's goal.
That's exactly what he wants to see.
Playing against AC Milan, his biggest suppression is Zhang Tiehan, since Zhang Tiehan's comeback, he has a frightening state, and the Spaniards just want the team and AC Milan to fight for efficiency.
If he can succeed and take away away goals from the San Siro without falling behind by more than a goal, then he will have achieved his goal and return to Anfield to decide the game will be much more certain.
With a different mentality, the game on the pitch soon resumed.
To score a goal and equalize quickly, the mentality of the Liverpool players is different, just now they feel that AC Milan is very strong, can take advantage of a wave of offensive opportunities, directly break the team's defense and score the ball, in the backward situation, confidence is somewhat frustrated, and now Zhang Tiehan's goal has made the team more confident than before.
What about AC Milan?
They couldn't prevent Zhang Tiehan at all, Zhang Tiehan cut directly into the middle with the ball from the side alone, passed Pirlo, shook off Kaladze and Gattuso to score the ball, with such a good teammate, what is there to fear about AC Milan.
Maybe AC Milan is really strong, in last year's final, they overwhelmed Liverpool, it is not easy for the team to create a zào miracle, but now they are not last year's Liverpool.
The team was stronger and eliminated Barcelona to reach the semi-finals. Against AC Milan, they won as well!
AC Milan, for their part, will be hoping to score again.
In fact, they are already familiar with Zhang Tiehan, even if Zhang Tiehan scores a goal, they are actually mentally prepared, they know very well that players like Zhang Tiehan are very familiar. It's impossible to be completely confined and to win against Liverpool, all they need to do is score more goals than the opposition.
So after the restart of the game, both teams regained their morale.
The game got quite exciting!
The tables of both teams are very good, all kinds of wonderful cooperation are frequently staged at the San Siro Stadium, both sides play very open, a wonderful picture, so that the fans really have a good time, this kind of game is what fans like to watch. When Italian and English teams meet, there are really not many games in which the two sides can continue to play attacking, and fans have more expectations for the game.
Of course, for the fans of both teams, they still want the team they support to score again.
Now the two teams are fighting for the ability to seize opportunities, which is the same strategy as Benitez, he wants the team to fight with AC Milan, he knows very well that this kind of game, AC Milan will have more chances. But he believes that the team's forward line, especially Zhang Tiehan, can grasp the opportunity better than the opponent's forward line.
That's the key to the game
on the pitch. The players of the two teams who put into the game didn't have the heart to think about tactics, shape shì or anything, they were all working hard to play football, although they were the executors of the game and the creators of the game, but it was difficult for them to watch the whole game alone. The only thing you can do is to do whatever you want, and compare yourself to your teammates and opposing players.
Everyone has something to compare against.
Kaka is also available.
After two years of training and playing at AC Milan, Kaka's strength has increased a lot compared to before, his main position was unstable last season, but this season due to excellent performance. He is already an absolute mainstay in AC Milan's front line, and has even started as a core in many games.
Naturally, his comparator is also the core of the other party.
Gerrard No, Kaka feels that he and Gerrard really have nothing to compare with, Gerrard belongs to the core of the offensive and defensive transition, in fact, anything is similar to Pirlo, the two are the core of the front and back courts, the whole team, but in attack and defense, their contribution is not as good as Zhang Tiehan and Kakado.
It can be said that Zhang Tiehan and Kaka both belong to the core of the frontcourt.
Kaka's comparison object is naturally Zhang Tiehan, there are many forwards who will compare goals with Zhang Tiehan, and the results are definitely not very good, mainly because Zhang Tiehan's goal efficiency is too high, but Kaka will be like this, and he will also compare with Zhang Tiehan in the contribution to the team's attack.
He found that Zhang Tiehan was still inferior to himself in many aspects.
He is better at creating opportunities for his teammates than scoring goals, and at the same time, he can score a lot of goals, his skills are better than Zhang Tiehan, his passing and dribbling can always bring the whole AC Milan's offensive rhythm, and can also make the team's attack play more smoothly.
These are what he's good at.
And the opponent's No. 13 Zhang Tiehan is good at scoring goals, yes, what he is best at is scoring goals, to say that in terms of personal ability, the opponent's strength over himself lies in the body.
So how do you compare?
If other people are looking at Kaka and Zhang Tiehan, they will definitely think of scoring goals, and thus think that Zhang Tiehan is better than Kaka, but Kaka doesn't see it that way, or he is very unconvinced, he regards Zhang Tiehan as an object of challenge, and he hopes that his appearance can be better than Zhang Tiehan.
A direct confrontation with Liverpool is an opportunity to prove it.
Kaka has been working hard to show that AC Milan opportunity just now, he also created zào, but it is not easy for him to score goals, he is not a striker of the team after all, in addition to scoring his own goals, Kaka hopes that the team can win Liverpool, so that he can also prove that he is stronger than Zhang Tiehan, after all, the football world is a world where the winner is king, the loser will be quickly forgotten, the winner will enjoy a qiē praise, and will be firmly remembered.
His approach is to play hard and help the team win against Liverpool, then the winner between him and Zhang Tiehan will be decided.
Under Kaka's leadership, AC Milan's attack has become more threatening wave after wave, and Liverpool's defense is somewhat precarious.
At the same time, Zhang Tiehan is also working hard.
He doesn't know what Kaka wants, but he also wants to lead the team to knock out AC Milan, so this first leg is naturally very important, and if they can get an advantage at the San Siro and return to Anfield, the team will be much better. without being given a head start by the other party.
He was constantly running up front, both to disrupt AC Milan's defence and to find good positions and cooperate with his team-mates to find opportunities.
Zhang Tiehan and Kaka are two different players.
Kaka can drive the rhythm of the whole team, he is the heart of the attack in the true sense of the word, the center of the attack. Guide the entire frontcourt to take the initiative to look for opportunities, and Zhang Tiehan belongs to the person who is good at seizing opportunities, Zhang Tiehan relies on his teammates to create zào opportunities, and then he seizes the opportunity to score the ball.
Therefore, when there is no ball, Zhang Tiehan's table xiàn is inferior to Kaka.
Kaka is a shining star, and various commentators keep mentioning his name, while Zhang Tiehan is very low-key, it should be said that he is without the ball. I don't have much to show off, more often than not, like a mediocre player, I give the ball to my teammates when I receive it, and rarely take the initiative to do anything.
But no one underestimated him.
AC Milan players know that as long as Zhang Tiehan can have a good opportunity, he will definitely attack at the first time and burst out at the first time, and that kind of explosion is a bit terrifying. None of them felt that they could limit Zhang Tiehan's outburst, so even if Zhang Tiehan's position was not very good. AC Milan will not let up in his defence either.
What about Kaka?
Liverpool are also defending Kaka, but the intensity is much worse than the treatment Zhang Tiehan received, although Kaka's appearance is very eye-catching, but in fact, most of the time he receives a pass will not be too threatening, even if he breaks out. It's also hard to find opportunities up front alone.
Even if he finds a chance, his shot won't be that threatening.
That's the difference between the two.
Kaka has advantages and advantages, and Zhang Tiehan also has advantages and advantages, so if the two want to divide the victory or defeat, it depends on the goals and final results of the two teams.
Next to take the opportunity is AC Milan.
In the forty-third minute of the first half. AC Milan's attack entered the vicinity of the Liverpool penalty area, and this wave of AC Milan's attack played for a long time, so Liverpool almost retreated, except for Zhang Tiehan, everyone in the team participated in the defense at the back.
The formation has retreated to such an extent, and AC Milan is still dominating the ball in front, which worries Liverpool from top to bottom.
Benitez also walked to the sidelines.
At this time, Kaka had a wonderful performance, he turned his back to Gerrard, and after controlling the ball, he suddenly turned the ball upside down with his foot, and then deceived Gerrard with his action, and suddenly got up and sent a scalpel-like straight stopper, and the team rushed to the right side of the penalty area against the grass.
At the same time, Gilardino squeezed Warnock straight into the box, and in the rhythm of the run, he caught Kaka's pass and slid forward with both legs.
The soccer ball is being tackled!
In the face of this shot, Reyna had no way to turn around to save, he only had time to subconsciously use his hands to fish, but the football still rushed across the goal line from the side.
The ball went in.
The score became two to one.
After Gilardino's goal, almost all the media exclaimed and immediately began to praise the goal, Kaka for the second assist was the object of praise, and Gilardino was praised for scoring twice.
"He's so good!"
"Two young talents of AC Milan – Gilardino and Kaka!"
"Gilardino is the best striker in Italy right now, he grabbed the goal and scored again, his appearance is amazing! Two goals! Brace! Well done! ”
"He's got one more goal than Liverpool!"
"Kaka is also very good, these two opportunities are Kaka Chuangzào!"
……
Just when the media continued to praise Gilardino and Kaka, while celebrating the goal, the two also looked at a figure opposite-
Zhang Tiehan!
There was a slight provocation in their eyes.
Zhang Tiehan felt it, he also looked back, the three of them were far apart, but Zhang Tiehan still knew what they meant, these two guys were just thinking about their own provocation, what they wanted to say was: "Aren't you very good at scoring goals?" Now we're ahead of the curve! ”
The striker kid who scored two goals and ex-Parma seemed to be saying, "I've scored one more than you!" ”
Interesting......
The corners of Zhang Tiehan's mouth turned away from a smile.
He suddenly felt that he should work harder to make these guys remember him - Lao Tzu had just left Italy for a season, and no cat or dog dared to provoke Lao Tzu?
Kaka, he still knows each other.
Gilardino? Which one is it?
Zhang Tiehan suddenly felt that the momentum of the game was even more full (to be continued...... to be continued)
