Chapter 764: Rhythm Battle
Chen Yu is now at the forefront of Liverpool, even if the ball is stealed, the teammates behind can completely prevent Milan's attack, and from the current shape shì, AC Milan has just equalized, momentum and confidence have come up, and Liverpool, whether it is fans or players, although it will not lose confidence, but morale is a little low, at this time, the most need to encourage the fighting spirit, of course, verbal encouragement can also be, but the best is of course action, Chen Yu is not a spiritual leader like Gerrard, He's the heart of the team's attack, he's attacking best, and he's going to use it now to get his team-mates and fans motivated.
The Liverpool fans in the stands instantly only felt their blood surge, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and stood up excitedly and shouted Chen Yu's name at the stadium.
Liverpool's players saw Chen Yu breaking through the opponent's defense, of course, they couldn't sit idly by, the backcourt players were too late to assist, and the players in the front field quickly stepped forward to follow up, and received Chen Yu from the left and right and the rear.
The attack after the break is the most dangerous, when Chen Yu stepped forward at high speed, there were only two central defenders in front of him, only Pirlo on his side, and only Gattuso behind him, like Ambrosini and the two full-backs had no time to come over to help the defense.
It looked like Chen Yu was surrounded by thousands of opponents, but in reality Chen Yu had only three opponents: Pirlo, Nesta and Maldini, and Gattuso had no time to participate in the defense after the tackle.
Chen Yu took the ball forward at high speed, Pirlo should give Chen Yu a flying shovel for the first time, but the tackles of professional defenders like Gattuso were dodged by Chen Yu, Pirlo had doubts about his tackling skills, he was afraid that he would not be able to touch the ball, and he would not even have the opportunity to assist in defense, so he could only let the central defender face the opponent's striker, so he did not tackle the ball at the first time, but rushed over and used his body to block and hit Chen Yu.
Pirlo felt that it was better to block it, and if he couldn't stop him, he could follow Chen Yuyu to disturb him.
Pirlo's plan is very good, but Chen Yu is not an ordinary player now, he is now bound to a mid-level superstar like Ronaldinho.
This is a leapfrog binding, with Chen Yu's ability, now he can only bind junior superstars, but such a Champions League final is very important to Chen Yu, this year is not a big year, it is the Champions League that determines the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Award, if Chen Yu can't win the Champions League, the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Award at the end of the year are difficult to say, and if you can't choose the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Award this year, next year will be the European Cup, which is very unfavorable for Chen Yu, He may not even have a chance to be elected as Mr. Footballer again, so Chen Yu took the risk and resolutely chose to skip the bounds.
Ronaldinho's characteristics are full of spirituality, imagination is too good, Chen Yu was originally ready to rush over, past one of Nesta and Maldini, he didn't think that he could break through Maldini and Nesta in the middle and enter the penalty area, these two central defenders are the best central defenders in the world, if he is allowed to rush over like this, these two people should also commit suicide and apologize, Chen Yu is planning to pass the older Maldini, forcing Nesta to take foul tactics and win a free kick, such an attack can be regarded as a success, Even if this free-kick doesn't go to the goal, his attacking courage can boost the morale of his teammates and fans.
But now Pirlo suddenly rushed sideways, trying to block his forward line, but at the same time blocked Nesta and Maldini's sight and rush to the line, so Chen Yu had an idea, gave up the idea of continuing forward, he stepped on the ball and stopped, and used half of a Marseille maneuver to shake off Pirlo who rushed over, flicked the ball to the corner of the penalty area, and ran quickly to the corner of the penalty area with the ball.
This Marseille maneuver and change of direction to kill the corner is Chen Yu's inspiration, Maldini and Nesta of course did not expect that if there was no Pirlo lateral run, Nesta would have been able to follow Chen Yu laterally, but because the sight was blocked by Pirlo, now it is a step late, he can block Chen Yu's breakthrough line, but there is no way to prevent Chen Yu's shot.
Chen Yu was about to shoot at the end of the line diagonally, and now that the vacancy is out, of course he did not hesitate to shoot, not to mention that he scored a goal at the beginning of the game by a little bit in this position, and now he is full of confidence.
Chen Yu adjusted his pace when he was dribbling the ball, and half-turned with his right foot on the corner of the big penalty area to hit a diagonal line, and the ball flew straight to the back corner of the goal.
This time Dida's position is still in the near corner of the goal, Chen Yu ran to the corner of the big penalty area with the ball, he can only move to the near corner, if Chen Yu is still as accurate as the last shot, he can only accept his fate, the goal is so big, the goalkeeper can only do what he should do, and the rest is left to fate.
Seeing that Chen Yu really chose to shoot at the back corner of the goal, Dida jumped up with his strength and hit the flying ball with one palm.
According to the speed at which the ball flew, Dida also knew that 99% of the time could not be intercepted, but he tried his best to pounce, and he also needed to give an explanation to his teammates and fans, he was not lazy, nor careless, and he could only blame the enemy for being too cunning when scoring goals.
The ball flew past Dida's hand without suspense, and Dida turned his head on the ground, staring at the ball with his eyes, still praying in his heart, "Don't score, don't score"
In almost the same position as the first goal, it was Chen Yu who shot the goal, and the goalkeeper still couldn't block it.
Milan fans suddenly had a hint of foreboding in their hearts, this Chinese may score again?
Liverpool fans are now more nervous and excited than when Chen Yu just broke through alone, many people's hearts are beating extremely hard, almost having the feeling of breaking out of their chests, and many people are excited to applaud in advance, of course, there are also some timid beauties who love to show off their eyes and dare not look.
"Chan Shoots ......"
"Shot ......"
The on-site commentators waited for the result of the shot with a long voice, and once the goal was scored, there must have been a hoarse shout behind it, except for the Italian commentators, of course.
duau
Since the vast majority of people were nervous and forgot to applaud and sing, the sound of the ball hitting the goalpost could be heard all over the audience.
The ball hit the post again, but this time Chen Yu was not as lucky as the first time, the last time the ball hit the goalpost, this time the ball hit the post but bounced off the bottom line.
The stadium was filled with surprises and sighs, and the faces of the Liverpool fans and Milan fans showed two completely different expressions.
The on-site commentator's thought lines were also changed at this time.
“…… The goalpost ball hit the goalpost and this time there was no goal, luck was fair, the last time the goalpost helped Chen, this time Milan again...
“…… The goalpost and the goalpost saved Milan, otherwise Liverpool will have to lead again, Liverpool led for more than three minutes for the first time before being equalized, this time if they lead again, they will definitely not let the opponent equalize again, Milan is not a team that plays football, and Liverpool's counterattack is quite terrifying, if it is led by Liverpool, Milan will definitely be very uncomfortable......"
The commentators are still lamenting, and the fans are still talking about Chen Yu's attack, while the game on the field continues after Milan's kickoff.
The Milanese still stick to their possession tactics, passing, constantly passing, pulling away the opponent's defense in the pass, looking for the opponent's flaws in the pass.
Liverpool's players were all involved in pressing except for Crouch, who dropped back to a lesser extent.
In terms of fitness, Milan's fitness is a little better, but Milan's players are a little older, and if they play at a fast pace, no one dares to say who will have the physical advantage.
Milan's players have been running in together for a long time, and the passing and running positions are very tacit, so it can be said that they can pass the ball to the position of their teammates with their eyes closed, and the Olympic Stadium in Greece is large, which can accommodate 70,000 people, which has created a lot of trouble for Liverpool's pressing.
Liverpool started with full-court pressing, and later found that this kind of pressing was very poor, equivalent to being slipped by Milan players, which was unacceptable to Liverpool players, and it was easy to affect their morale for a long time.
Benitez looked at it for a while, shook his head, and knew that in this case, it would be difficult to press effectively, unless the scope of the pressing was narrowed down a little, but then the fast-paced offensive football could not be played, and only the defensive counterattack could be played.
However, Benitez is not afraid of defensive counterattacks, in recent years under his tutelage, Liverpool's can play offensive football, but also defensive counterattacks, and now Milan wants to control the ball at their feet and play their own rhythm, so let them play well, Benitez waved his hand, let the players retreat, and hit the opponent's counterattack.
In the face of a team like Milan, Liverpool will definitely not play in one way, they made detailed arrangements before the game, how to play when they are ahead, how to play when they are behind, how to play when the opponent has the advantage, these players have a psychological number, Benitez only needs a gesture, and the team's formation and style of play will immediately change
Liverpool players retreat, the front court is no longer pressing, Milan can now rest assured to control the ball, but only in their half, as long as the ball reaches Liverpool's half, Milan's difficulty in controlling the ball will be much greater, and because the space in Milan's backfield has become larger, the risk of Milan's players controlling the ball is also increasing, once they lose the ball, Liverpool's counterattack will definitely be lightning, Maldini and Nesta are one of the best central defenders in the world, but if you want to block the fast lightning and grasp the opportunity of Chen Yu, It is estimated that it is still very difficult, so although Milan has been in control of the ball for a long time, there are not many dangerous passes, and if it is not a good opportunity, they dare not pass, for fear of being tackled by Liverpool to counterattack.
