Chapter 771: Total Restraint
48_48474Milanese reached the peak of their morale and confidence after Inzaghi's third equaliser. Every Milanese, including the fans, is full of confidence in the victory comeback.
Confidence is more important than gold, especially after 70 minutes of such high-intensity play.
The Champions League final is held at the end of the season, at this moment the players have reached the most extreme physical and mental strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that the end of the strong crossbow is not an exaggeration, at this time the two strongest teams of the season after 70 minutes, the mental and physical consumption is conceivable, at this time can grit their teeth and persist to the end, it is often the winning side, and if which team plays chicken blood, they are more likely to win.
At this time, strength is not the most critical factor, just like two years ago, Liverpool's strength was actually worse than Milan, otherwise it would not have been poured three goals in the first half, but at that time, Liverpool played chicken blood, blood was bursting, and finally reversed Milan.
This time the situation is just the opposite, after two years of eliminating the other, the strength of Milan and Liverpool has been on the same level, and Liverpool won the league championship, the state is better than Milan, Chen Yu's ability to grasp the opportunity is strong, so he is only three times ahead of Milan, and now Milan has equalized three times in a row, morale and confidence have exploded, so that Milan's players can play with ease on the field, and the actions that they dare not do in the league at ordinary times, and the cooperation that they dare not do is now done, and they completely control the scene, compared to it, Liverpool don't seem to be on a notch.
In the first minute of the game, Pirlo wore a crotch of Crouch who was snatched back, and quickly pushed forward, and when Gerrard came to intercept, he easily and easily hit the wall with Ambrosini and made Gerrard a dog.
Andrea Pirlo was a dangerous man for Milan and saw him push forward past the two, with Alonso and Mascherano immediately coming in for the flank.
Pirlo nudged the ball and passed it to Kaka.
Kaka was Milan's flashpoint up front, and he was responsible for changing the tempo and disrupting the opposition's defence.
Kaka received the ball and sprinted forward, and when the Liverpool centre-back retreated, he continued to sprint until the Liverpool defender could not retreat, Kaka made a feint to raise his foot and shoot the ball to the ribs.
Everyone thought Kaka would pass to Inzaghi.
Inzaghi also scored two goals up front and was Liverpool's biggest threat, but Kaka didn't pass to Inzaghi, but to Seedorf.
To be precise, it reached the vacancy of Seedorf's position.
There was no one in the ribs when Kaka passed, and Seedorf, who was diagonally inserted when the ball arrived, also ran.
Milan only had one pure striker, and this pure striker also scored two goals, and the attention of the Liverpool people was almost so focused on Inzaghi that old monsters like Seedorf ignored it.
Seedorf had a chance to overtake the scoreline.
As a player who has won the Champions League three times in different teams, Seedorf is very calm at this time, he understands that in the penalty area, don't look at him running an empty space, as long as he pauses, there will be more than one defender around him in an instant, so Seedorf directly raised his foot to play.
While Seedorf was on the ribs, goalkeeper Reyna was moving towards the near corner, trying to block the most dangerous near corner. Seedorf had a clever shot and he met the ball with the outside of his instep into the back corner.
The back corner of the goal is difficult to shoot, goalkeeper Reyna has given up the protection of the back corner, the opponent stands on the ribs, the goalkeeper has no possibility to completely protect the goal more than seven meters wide, he can only guard the most dangerous position, if Seedorf's footwork is accurate enough to hit the far corner of the goal without stopping, Reina can only accept his fate.
"The far angle is indeed the far angle"
"Outside instep shot into the far corner: Seedorf is great"
Seeing Seedorf rubbing the far corner, many commentators and fans exclaimed, this Dutch old demon is really the dirtiest one.
At this second, everyone was staring at the ball, waiting for the verdict of fate.
entered, the Milanes overtook the score, and they must be full of morale, and then defend and counterattack, with only twenty minutes, Liverpool must be in danger.
If it doesn't score, the score remains tied, and even if it goes to extra time, both sides still have a chance.
The Milan fans were waiting to cheer for the thrilling moment, but the ball suddenly deflected almost a metre from the back corner of the goal and flew off the bottom line against the post.
"Ahh
"Groove"
"Halo"
There was a sigh of regret, sighs, and anger in the stands.
Seedorf flicked his fist in frustration when he saw the ball go wide, and if he could stop and shoot again, he would definitely shoot into the back corner, but he just hit it with a little more force, so that the ball spun too hard and deviated from his target.
Seedorf missed the ball and Liverpool escaped, but the advantage on the pitch remained in Milan's hands.
Goalkeeper Reyna did not rush out after getting the ball, but paused for a while, and only after the shock was settled did he kick the ball forward.
Reyna was hoping that Crouch would be able to get the chance and launch a wave of attacks up front to boost morale, but the Milan defenders were now confident and aggressive defensively, with Nesta scrambling forward and pushing the ball to the feet of team-mate Ambrosini.
Ambrosini didn't give the ball to Pirlo first, as he had done before, but took the ball straight forward.
This is a table of players who feel good and confident in the game.
Liverpool's winger Kuyt quickly rebounded, Ambrosini passed the ball to Seedorf, and then continued to cut forward to meet Seedorf, Inzaghi also moved closer to the wing, and the three formed an attacking iron triangle.
Liverpool just kicked the goal, the defenders are in their own half, and they are not afraid of this kind of attack of the Milanese, when Ambrosini, Seedorf and Inzaghi cross the running and passing, Liverpool's players adopt a man-to-man defensive strategy, and some people are ready to make up for the defense, and they are not afraid of Seedorf, Inzaghi, Ambrosini's attack.
However, the Milanese are cunning and experienced, and they have no intention of using these three people to break through Liverpool's defense, after all, none of them are good at breaking through players, and it is very difficult to tear apart Liverpool's defense by passing, unless Liverpool's form is really poor.
The Milan trio continued to pass forward, and when entering the 30-meter area of Liverpool, which is also the heavily defended area of Liverpool, Ambrosini took the ball and pretended to break through, but stopped and crossed and found the forward Kaka who followed in the middle.
Kaka is Milan's real breaking point, his breakthrough and Pirlo's pass are Milan's two big killers, similar to Chen Yu and Gerrard.
Seeing Ambrosini pass the ball to Kaka, Mascherano stuck to Kaka as fast as he could, ready to disturb or foul Kaka when he got the ball, in short, not to let Kaka rush.
However, Kaka did not take the ball this time, but made a catch-up point and passed the ball to Seedorf with a wall-hitting pass.
This time Seedorf was not missed, Alonso was following Seedorf, both of them are the kind of players who are not fast and have no explosiveness, Alonso and Seedorf are not so hard, at least they can keep up.
Kaka's pass was 267 meters away from the goal, Alonso did not guard against Seedorf's long-range shot, he felt that he was following this position, Seedorf could not send all his strength, and it was certainly unwise to shoot from a distance, he was more to guard against Seedorf's pass and breakthrough.
But Seedorf unexpectedly chose to shoot, apparently trying to catch the goalkeeper off guard.
Alonso desperately stretched out his foot to block it, but couldn't touch the ball.
Seedorf had a short time to shoot, barely lifting his thighs, relying more on his calves and ankles.
Such a ball is difficult to pose much threat to the goalkeeper even if the angle is tricky, after all, the distance is a bit far, and the goalkeeper has enough time to react.
However, one star said that there is a chance to shoot on goal, and this sentence is true, Seedorf's shot was so sudden that Liverpool defender Carragher did not dodge or intercept, and the ball hit his leg and flew to the other side of the goal.
Change direction refraction, this is the goalkeeper's most worried shot, Reina, who has just escaped the catastrophe, is about to break, and he almost scolded his mother, fortunately, because the ball speed is not fast, he just moved, and has not yet saved, Reina braked sharply, moved in the opposite direction, and a side pounce pressed the ball on the goal line.
There were shouts and sighs again, the Liverpudlians broke out in a cold sweat, and Milan was so angry that they almost kicked their seats to pieces.
Milan's two attacks were almost successful, and Milan is not a strong attack on the whole press, which can only show that Milan is in too good shape now.
Benitez is also a person who understands current affairs, and is also a very rational person, seeing that Milan is in such a good state now, it is difficult to resist, he immediately gave up the idea of attacking Milan, waved his hand to let his players retreat, shrink the defense, avoid the current edge of the Milanese, if you can sneak attack one, you can sneak attack one, and if you can't sneak attack, you can wait for extra time, he believes that it is impossible to sustain such an excited state like Milan, everyone's physical energy is so bad, it is difficult to last with confidence and morale alone, Benitez even thinks that Milan's state may be like an aphrodisiac, and even kidney deficiency after the excitement, when Liverpool take advantage of the weakness and may have a chance to defeat the enemy.
Benitez's abacus played well, but Milan's shot was very strong, and the attack power did not stop for more than ten minutes, and it also created a good opportunity to score three or four goals, only because Liverpool contracted the defense in time and adopted delaying and foul tactics to not let the Milan win again.
At this time, the most depressed is Chen Yu, he just used the star conversion card to replace Ronaldo's consciousness, ready to rush to kill, but there was no ball, his side was beaten only to parry, no power to fight back, only touched the ball twice in ten minutes, and the opponent used two fouls and a yellow card to dash his hope of counterattacking.
Looking at the 83 minutes of the game, the Milanese's attack finally slowed down, and Benitez breathed a sigh of relief and decided to make a final substitution
