Chapter 340: Tang Jue's gift to Maldini for 100 Champions League games!
The next day, the Milan sports newspaper commented: Milan, half of the main team, won the victory with a score of 4-2 away against Siena. Don and Kaka both scored two goals, and they told everyone that with them, even half of Milan can still win!
A win for Milan will put a lot of pressure on Inter. Inter will be at home tonight against Cagliari. Can they win? Can they make it fifteen wins in a row?
Their city rivals have won 24 in a row and are firmly on their way to winning 25 in a row!
……
Milan's win did put a lot of pressure on Inter. However, Inter remain strong and on 18 February, they withstood the pressure at home to a narrow 1-0 win over Cagliari to make it 15 wins in a row and equal Milan's record of winning streak last season.
If this result had been placed in other seasons, Inter fans would have been overjoyed. Fifteen wins in a row, that's a fantastic number. However, this number could not make them ecstatic in the face of Milan's twenty-four consecutive wins.
However, to the delight of Inter fans, their side still dominate the table, still six points ahead of Milan, and they remain the strongest contenders for the Serie A title.
At this point, Milan were already in Glasgow, Scotland, and they were not at all surprised by Inter's home win. After all, in Serie A, there are few teams that can pose a threat to Inter Milan now.
Milan are seriously preparing for Celtic's Champions League match. Compared to the Serie A champion, the Champions League is more attractive and has a higher prize money!
……
Milan vs Celtic. Scheduled for four o'clock in the afternoon, at half past twelve at noon on the 20th, the other players in Milan were ready to take a nap. Don never slept and was called by Ancelotti. Along the way, Tang Jue kept thinking about what the coach told him to talk about.
Could it be, can't start?
Chances are, the time between the two games is too close, and the coach might arrange it that way. Substitute as long as you can play.
Pushing open Ancelotti's door, there were two people inside. Except for Carlo Ancelotti. Assistant coach Marsili was also in the room. After the three of them said hello. Tang Jue sat on the chair. Ancelotti didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point:
"You start, but only for half time."
After saying that, Ancelotti didn't speak again. Tang Jue looked at him strangely. Finished? Only one sentence?
When Tang Jue pondered the content of the coach's words. A smile appeared on his face. Although it was only half a game. But it's the starter. Well, not bad, not bad......
But. If this half-time is not done, then ...... So, you must work hard!
A hint of madness appeared in Tang Jue's eyes.
"Coach, I'll do my best!"
Ancelotti's face was very calm, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, go and rest!" ”
Tang Jue left the room, Marsili looked at Ancelotti, and couldn't help but say: "He is already very tired, you don't need to force him." ”
There is no need to explain to the players who the coach arranges to play, when to make substitutions, and who to replace. But Carlo Ancelotti told Don that he would never start and that he would only play half the game. If Tang Jue wanted to make a difference, he only had forty-five minutes, and time was limited.
Time is limited, and there is a sense of urgency, and that sense of urgency makes people desperate to do things.
This is Ancelotti's logic, but in Marcili's view, Tang should not be given a sense of urgency, the game is just the player's job, there is no need to work hard.
Ancelotti shook his head, looked at the door and said: "I can't help it, the game has been played so far, the morale of the team is high, no one will say, 'Let's give up Serie A and focus on the Champions League.'" ’。 Fighting for the Scudetto is a breath of breath and I can't let that breath down. ”
"The morale of the whole team is high, we can only keep winning, let the victory motivate them to keep going, and even make winning a habit. Only then will we be able to work miracles. ”
Ancelotti exhaled and continued: "In recent times, Tang's skills have improved again, especially his competition ability, which has improved a lot, and it has almost reached perfection. At this stage, he is terrifying. It was precisely because I knew that he was very tired, that I had to provoke him. ”
"Who asked him to win Serie A and Champions League before the season, and now we are at a critical time, I don't provoke him, who are I going to provoke?"
"Whoever does it, who is responsible!"
Marcili shook his head and said: "Actually, we don't have to win the afternoon game, a draw is also a good result. ”
Carlo Ancelotti laughed and said: "Actually, that's what I aimed, that's why I let him play half the game. It doesn't matter if we can't win, we'll go back to the home stadium and try to finish them. ”
Marcili suddenly realized, but he still had doubts: "Actually, your plan is a draw, why do you want to provoke him?" ”
Ancelotti touched his eyebrows lightly, and his voice raised a few degrees: "Who doesn't want to win away from home, I want to too." ”
Carlo Ancelotti's words are logically contradictory, but Marcilli understands them: if the players play well, then try to win the game. If you can't win, then get a draw.
In order to win, it is necessary to be agitated. For Serie A in a week, so only half a game was given to Tang Jue.
This is Ancelotti's calculation. In the 23rd round of Serie A, he hopes that his players can establish the advantage in the first half and then replace the main team in the second half. However, Livorno frustrated Carlo Ancelotti's wishful thinking, and the main players played the whole game before winning Livorno at home.
Will the Celtics let his wishful thinking get his way this afternoon?
……
At half past three in the afternoon, the away team locker room.
After arranging the tactics, Carlo Ancelotti looked around for a week and said: "This game is Maldini's 100th Champions League game. ”
After Ancelotti finished speaking, he did not speak again. The temperature in the locker room began to rise. Kaka licks his lips, a hundred Champions League games. God, a hundred Champions League games. When will I reach this number?
Tang Jue's eyes radiated with a fine light, a hundred Champions League games, then today's game is Maldini's milestone, since it is a milestone, how can he return empty-handed!
Ronnie stood up and hugged Maldini to congratulate him. Gattuso discarded the prejudice between the two and embraced Maldini. The players hugged Maldini and congratulated him.
Tang Jue said in Maldini's ear: "I will give you a big gift!" ”
……
Get out of the players' tunnel. There was a deafening shout from the stadium:
"Celtic!"
"Celtic!"
"Celtic!"
On the north side of the stadium are die-hard Milan fans from afar. In terms of numbers, they are completely at a disadvantage. According to the post-match statistics, the number of Milan fans was 3,000, while the number of Celtic fans was 30,000.
Celtic fans hung up a banner: Milan are thieves. Twenty-five wins in a row are ours. Ours forever!
Kaka looked at the banner. There was anger in his eyes, and anger appeared on Gattuso's face. However, this banner did not make Tang Jue feel angry. He has long said in front of the media that since Celtic have won 25 consecutive games in a season, we can do it too.
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the match between Milan and Celtic officially started at Celtic Park!
At the beginning of the game, Celtic did not take advantage of the home advantage and launched a fierce attack on Milan. Milan's attacking power is strong, and the terrifying trio is too terrifying, they must first defend well and not be allowed to be breached by their opponents first.
Playing away from home, if the opponent doesn't launch an onslaught, that's a good sign. Ronnie didn't go on a rampage, and neither did Kaka. There is one person who is very positive in Milan, and that is Tang Jue, because he only has 45 minutes of play, because it is Maldini's 100th Champions League game.
Tang Jue is crazy like a madman, Ronnie is unmoved, the game has just begun, and his physical strength has to be used on the blade. Kaka didn't press like crazy, because in his opinion, it was pointless, and it was also difficult to succeed because Milan were playing away.
From a distance, the Celtic players were reversing the ball in the midfield, and Tang Jue was chasing the football frantically, as if this was his own battle.
The Celtic fans let out a loud laugh and the Milan fans shouted:
"Don!"
"Don!"
"Don!"
Obviously, they were moved by this spirit of Tang Jue. Kaka shook his head and began to quicken his pace, Pirlo quickened his pace, and Gattuso began to shout......
The Celtics had to pick up the tempo, quickly move the football to the front court and launch an attack!
The fierce competition has officially begun!
In the sixth minute, Celtic striker Heiselink had his first shot on goal, but the ball went wide of the goal.
In the 10th minute, Ronnie combined with Tang Jue to go into the penalty area and shoot under the interference of the opponent's central defender McManus. The ball was saved by Borush.
In the sixteenth minute, Shunsuke Nakamura successfully broke through on the side, crossed with a kick, Heselink buckled, got rid of Thuram, and then advanced into the Milan penalty area!
Dida saved from the goal line and Nesta followed closely on the right of Heycelink. Hesserink suddenly shoots a volley, and the ball flies over Dida's head!
Hanging shot, despair appeared in Dida's eyes!
A tall white figure flew towards the football!
Long hair fluttering!
Chic and handsome!
This person, step forward, then jump high and push the football out of the goal!
Due to the previous speed was too fast, after this person landed, the huge inertia forced him to continue forward, and the next moment, his shoulder hit the post fiercely!
Maldini let out a scream and collapsed inside the goal!
In the stands, the Celtic fans let out a loud cry of regret before applauding Maldini.
A hot-tempered Gattuso yells at Thuram, and Nesta immediately goes to inquire about Maldini's injury. Ancelotti, standing in the command area, had a solemn face.
Two minutes later, Maldini got up from the turf and rubbed his shoulders as he signaled to his teammates that he could continue playing. This is his 100th Champions League game, how can he leave the pitch like this!
Tang Jue silently patted Maldini's shoulder, twisted his neck, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and exhaled a long breath.
Shunsuke Nakamura takes a corner kick and Thuram pushes Hesserink to push the ball out of the box. Gattuso's previous roar made him very depressed. After landing, Thuram let out a loud roar, letting the frustration vent to his heart's content!
The football flew towards Tang Jue, and behind him was Snow.
Tang Jue took a step forward with his left foot, and Snow also took a step forward!
Tang Jue put a cushion on the outside of his right foot on the football, and the football flew up!
Tang Jue quickly turned around!
The next moment, he flew over Snow's right side, and with a chest outstretch, he unloaded the football!
Next, the magnificent picture appears!
Tang Jue took the football with him, as if he had entered a no-man's land. Got rid of five Celtic defenders in succession!
Single Knife!
From a distance, that black hair has become the only color in the world!
Tang Jue has eclipsed the world!
There was only one voice in the entire Celtic Park stadium: "Don! ”
Don will make Celtics fans lose their voices!
Tang Jue ran more than 70 meters from outside the penalty area of Milan and directly hit the Celtic penalty area!
Quickly adjust your breathing, so that your breathing and technical movements are in harmony, and Tang Jue is about to make the last blow!
At a distance of three meters from Borush, Tang Jue's center of gravity suddenly fell to the right!
Borush began to move quickly to his left!
The next moment, Tang Jue's center of gravity suddenly fell to the left!
Borush's legs contradict his mind, his legs continue to move to the left, while his mind tells himself that he should move to the right. The consequence of the contradiction is to fall on the turf!
There was a deafening cheer from the Milan fans!
Although they are only one-tenth the number of Celtic fans, they are now the only ones on the pitch who make a sound!
Tang Jue pushed the football into the opponent's goal extremely calmly!
The ball is in!
1 to 0!
Milan take the lead away! (To be continued......)
