Chapter 232: Istanbul

"Even if you do! Even grin! Even grin - even grin ~~~~"

"The Rossoneri are invincible!"

"Gunslinger, rush !!"

"Meow meow."

"Don't scream, na, give you ham sausages. Eh, Kaoru-chan, I really didn't expect Turkey to have so many kittens, and even let them enter the stadium. ”

On May 20th, at the Istanbul Olympic Stadium with a tsunami, Mei Yan held up the little orange cat under the seat in front of the VIP seat.

Looking at the fat little cat eating ham sausage, next to it, Kaoru Yuechi took it into her arms with a smile, and her slender fingers ran down the cat's orange fluff.

"It's normal, and it's the same with Argentina."

"Are there a lot of kittens in Argentina too?"

Meiya's face showed novelty, and Kaoru Yuechi pursed her mouth: "Uh, it's not a kitten, it's a capybara." Just the kind of big rats that look like sweet potatoes, when Xiao Mo and I went back to Argentina last year, those guys would often run to the pool in our backyard to play. ”

"Sounds interesting. Eh, speaking of which, Kaoru-chan, you can be regarded as having completed the class leap now, and you have found such a good boyfriend. It's like me, I'm worrying about the mortgage every day, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience this kind of VIP seat in my life. ”

Feeling the frenzied atmosphere of the fans around her, sitting on the luxurious seats, Meihan's expression was a little sour.

Kaoru Tsukichi glanced at the man beside Meiya with a fanatical expression and stared at the court intently, and laughed quietly: "Oh, Hiroshi will work hard to make money in the future, I feel that he is a very loving and down-to-earth man." ”

"It's just too down-to-earth, and I'm honestly bullied by the leader in the company."

"Okay, okay, don't think about any headaches, just enjoy the charm of the football game. Oh! By the way, I also prepared some sweets. ”

Yuechi Kaoru's big eyes bent into crescents, and as she spoke, she immediately took out various snacks from her small bag and handed them to the row behind her, Chen Fei, Lopez and Yuechi's parents were chatting hotly under Li Zhiqiang's translation, and they took the snacks with a smile when they saw this.

Beside them, some of the children of the Yuechi family, the old Chen family, and the Starbilai family ran around chasing the cats.

Mikasa, who has been helping out at Tsukichi's house, was also brought to the scene this time, feeling the hot atmosphere of the Champions League final, he felt his blood pumping, but as the eldest child here, he had to take care of these little children.

Such a lively and cheerful corner of the court was quickly captured by the camera.

"Wow, Chen Mo's family and friends are really large, it seems that Argentines attach great importance to family, but I don't know if Chen Mo will become the king of Europe under the gaze of relatives and friends in this game, or if he will suffer the first setback in his life.

So, Mr. Batistuta, I wonder what you think of this match? Especially Kaka, who is in the same position as him, the super-Brazilian talent is also hailed as a phenomenal striker. ”

In the commentary seat, the two commentators looked sideways at Batistuta who was already bearded next to him, Batistuta glanced at the Brazilian celebrity "lone wolf" Romario next to him, picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "The more treacherous the storm, the higher the eagle of the pampas will fly." There is no doubt that this game will lead Arsenal to the top of Europe, fulfilling the club's long-cherished dream for a century, and at the same time, it will also make the surname Stabile shine in front of the world again.

In addition, I don't think that Chen Mo and Kaka are in the same position on the court, I believe that fans who have watched the previous games know that although Chen Mo is a striker, his job is not only to attack, he will retreat more often in the game to guide the team, and at the same time be responsible for certain defensive tasks, and Kaka is a pure offensive front"

Before he could finish speaking, Romario picked up the microphone and interjected: "Yes, Kaka is a pure attacking striker, but in my opinion, the reason why he is not responsible for the defensive and playmaking tasks is more because Ancelotti does not want to waste his attacking talent. ”

Hearing Romario's sharp answer, Rao knew that Adidas spent a lot of money to invite himself to comment on the same stage with Romario in order to make a gimmick and create a topic, and wanted to praise Kaka and Chen Mo, who are now signed under Adidas at the same time, but the grumpy Batistuta still frowned.

"It's true that Kaka has unparalleled offensive talent, but Chen Mo's statistics on the offensive end this season are no worse than Kaka."

"That's just because he hasn't hit the rookie wall yet, and there is still too little research data on him from major teams, considering that Kaka had scored and assisted in double figures when he landed at AC Milan last season."

His grandma's!

The lone wolf Romario spoke very politely, and the god of war Batistuta was also a violent temper, so he picked up the microphone and prepared to scold.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the commentator hurriedly interjected: "It seems that the two masters have their own opinions on who is stronger, Kaka or Chen Mo, this is normal, after all, [there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers]. Okay, so let's talk about the lineups of both teams.

As we all know, this Arsenal team has been hailed as the strongest Arsenal of all time, not only did they record a 63-game unbeaten run across the season, but they also reached the Champions League final in history.

On the other hand, AC Milan's squad is also luxurious, with two central defenders Nesta and Stam at the back, Maldini and Cafu at the left and right wing-backs, Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso and Kaka in midfield, and Shepchenko and Crespo at the front.

The main lineup is very terrifying, not to mention the top players like Rui Costa and Inzaghi sitting on the bench, this lineup can be said to be a star-studded lineup, which is called by fans as a top lineup with no flaws in the front, middle and back lines.

I don't know Mr. Barty, where do you think the tactical focus of this game will be? ”

'In midfield, in my opinion, Arsenal will definitely be looking for a breakthrough in midfield. First of all, I have to say that I have no animosity towards Mr. Pirlo, I admire his skills a lot, but he is not physically strong enough as a midfielder.

Yes, I know he's the core of the playmaker, and most of the defensive tasks will be done by Gattuso, but this Arsenal midfield three all have a lot of impact, Gattuso can't defend three, he will still face a lot of defensive pressure.

And once the Arsenal midfielder completes the breakthrough, everyone can imagine the rest of the thing, half a month ago Arsenal against Real Madrid that smooth passing and cutting cooperation is still vivid, as long as there is a little space, they can pass the football into the opponent's goal. ”

"You're fantasizing beautifully, but you're not thinking about Kaka's impact. If Patrick Vieira and Essien press hard, then Kaka will get a huge amount of space to sprint at the moment of the transition between attack and defense, and in my opinion, no defender in the world can defend against Kaka who has already sprinted.

Therefore, in order to limit Kaka, Vieira and Essien cannot press heavily in this game, and I remain skeptical that Chen Mo can get rid of Gattuso one-on-one in this case. ”

"Ahem, it seems that Mr. Romario really appreciates Kaka, okay, now the players from both sides are about to come on, without further ado, let's look at the starting lineup."

.

There was a lot of commotion outside the players' tunnel, but the atmosphere inside the tunnel was not so tense.

"I didn't expect to meet again in the Champions League final."

"Haha, wait to be defeated by me again."

"Oh, you haven't changed at all, it's just a pity that Saviola isn't here."

Chen Mo shook hands with Kaka, who was also sunny and handsome, with a smile on his face.

Although the face-to-face intersection between the two sides is only in the World Youth Championships, it may be that the appearance is comparable, and the personality and temperament are also relatively compatible.

After that, the two still had occasional contact through mobile phone text messages, and when he was about to leave Barcelona, Kaka also sent a text message to ask him if he wanted to go to AC Milan to do a big career together.

It's just that Pirlo had already established himself in AC Milan at that time, and Ancelotti did not promise a starting clause, which made the two unable to work together.

The two were talking, laughing and chatting, and there was no look of life and death in the final, and the captains of the two teams, Maldini and Vieira, rolled their eyes when they saw it.

.

"Okay, fans, you're watching the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League Finals! This is the Istanbul Olympic Stadium! You can see from the picture behind me that the players from both sides are now in the game!

Wearing the white jersey is AC Milan, the top giants who have won six Champions League trophies, while wearing the red and white jersey is Arsenal, which has a history of 100 years but has not won even one Champions League trophy so far!

In the end, it is the first time that Arsenal, a gunslinger who has been sitting for a hundred years, has tasted royal power! Or will the Rossoneri AC Milan have their magnificent crown set with a seventh magnificent jewel as the king of Europe?! All the suspense will be another ninety minutes later! See you at the Istanbul Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people!! ”

"Become the king of Europe! Kaka! ”

"We're Arsenal! is invincible! ”

More than 80,000 people beat gongs and drums and roared loudly, like the echo effect of a concert hall.

"The Champions League final is different."

The pressure surged into his heart, but before he could see it, this pressure turned into excited blood rushing to his brain, standing on the green field, Chen Mo moved his body, and the highlights in his eyes were unprecedentedly bright.

Soon, when the referee showed the coin on the back of his hand in front of Maldini and Vieira, the gears of fate began to turn, and Arsenal kicked off the ball from left to right.

With the referee's whistle, Henry in the middle circle knocked the ball back to Chen Mo, and the moment he got the ball, Gattuso had already forced in front of him, seeing this, Chen Mo moved his feet to block the opponent's route, and raised his right leg to pass the ball back to Vieira.

Seeing this scene, Gattuso's heart was relieved and he was about to retreat, but in the next second, his eyes widened suddenly!

Standing sideways, with his left hand to top Gattuso, Chen Mo's right foot that touched the ball did not push the ball, but stepped on the ball with the ball with his front foot and pulled it back, and threw it forward with the inertia of the arc!

The ball instantly crossed an arc from outside Gattuso's right foot, and at the same time, Chen Mo pushed Gattuso very uncleanly in his hand and squeezed it past the opponent's left shoulder!

"Oh my God! The ball is divided into !! ”

"It's so sudden! Arsenal started the game straight up!! ”

"Blitzkrieg! Chen Mo moved forward with the ball!! ”

"Arsenal are pressing on the team!"

The opponent in the Champions League final naturally has to be studied thoroughly, and in just three seconds of the opening game, Chen Mo directly used Gattuso's habit of grabbing the opponent at the beginning of the game to catch the opponent off guard!

Wind and wind!

The wind was whistling in his ears, and Chen Mo, who had passed Gattuso, advanced at high speed along the middle with the ball, and rushed to Pirlo in two blinks of an eye, and at the same time, Kaka and Seedorf on the left and right sides were also in place!

"You don't go in the past!"

"The rampage will be intercepted by Maldini!"

Kaka on the left, Seedorf on the right, Pirlo in front of him, and Maldini, the left wing-back who has been on the top of the left, is behind the right!

Ignoring the meaningless shouting, Chen Mo, who caught the opponent's position between the lightning and flint, did not hesitate at all, aimed at Seedorf's crotch, and pushed vigorously with his right foot against the ball!

Topspin boccia!

"What?!"

Seedorf clamped his leg for the first time, but the ball with spin was fast, and instantly passed under his crotch and rushed to the right side, and the next second, McConn rushed to the bottom directly along the side!

"What a quick offensive!"

"McCown crosses from the bottom !!"

The commentary roared, and the audience of more than 80,000 spectators stood up instantly before they could sit hot, and under the nervous gaze of them and Chen Feiyue, Chi Kaoru and others, McCone ran wildly with the ball to the 45-degree angle on the right side of the AC Milan penalty area, and found Henry, who was inserted forward, is a curved cross!

Highball!

Under the gaze of Chen Mo, who was frantically inserting forward, the ball crossed an arc in the air and hoisted to the center of the penalty area, and in the next second, Henry jumped high in the crowd!

The Emperor volleys!

The lion swings its head!

The ball flew straight into the stands like a rocket!

Happy!

Thierry Henry's header, hey, it's a pity, if only Vieira had been in that position.

"It's because Nesta, Stam and Maldini are too experienced, even in this kind of blitzkrieg, they didn't panic, and the first time they retreated, McCone had to give the ball high."

"Yes, and if it weren't for Maldini's uplift, with Chen Mo's speed, he would have had every chance to storm out of the area between Seedorf and Pirlo."

The commentary chattered, and on the field, Henry, who was flying the ball, covered his face with regret, and turned to give Chen Mo and McConn a thumbs up.

It is normal for an attack not to succeed, and Chen Mo, who retreated and stuck to Pirlo, did not have much expression on his face, but the previous ease was swept away, and he turned extremely dignified, and a pair of sharp eyes kept sweeping on the AC Milan backline.

"This line of defense. It's so stable. ”

"It's not like it's all out of the blue, though."

Right wing-back Cafu is 35 years old, Stam is 33 years old, Nesta is 29 years old and left wing-back Maldini is 37 years old.

The only problem with the historic backline that can't be bought in the game is age, but it's not a big deal either.

What offensive players need most is talent and physicality, and for defensive players, game experience is more important, so often forwards start to decline at the age of 30, while defenders are in their thirties before reaching the peak.

However, the decline in fitness due to age is still unavoidable, especially for the two wing-backs who need to run up and down a lot.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo had a plan in his heart, but before he could think about it, AC Milan goalkeeper Dida who got the ball directly drove a long ball to find Kaka in the frontcourt!

Tall, fast and far!

The ball crosses the midfield in an instant!

"Stand out!"

Vieira yelled, and at the same time ran towards Kaka for the first time, under the gaze of the retreating Chen Mo, facing the ball flying diagonally, the two jumped high to fight for the top, and then Kaka was knocked into the air, "Dudu Dudu-"

The whistle blew.

"The referee blows the whistle! Oh! He gave AC Milan a free-kick in front of him, apparently because he felt Vieira was pushing his hand in the middle of the aerial duel, and Vieira was protesting to the referee. ”

"It's useless, this kind of punishment will not be changed again. However, with around twenty-five yards from goal, a free-kick from this position is a bit dangerous for Arsenal. ”

"Yes, Pirlo is a master of free-kicks, let's see how this ball is taken."

In less than two minutes into the opening game, AC Milan picked up a well-placed set-piece in front, and the opponent also had a free-kick master like Andrea Pirlo, and the Arsenal players, fans including Arsene Wenger on the sidelines and family and friends were all nervous.

Soon, as Chen Mo squeezed into the wall to cover the bell, the referee blew the whistle, and Pirlo at the penalty spot began to run, his arms tensed tightly.

"Shoot straight to the goal?!"

For a moment, before the brain could make a judgment, the people had already jumped, but when they all jumped, Pirlo, who rushed to the penalty spot, did not shoot or pass, but rolled the ball with one kick!

"Trouble!"

Looking at the ball passing under his feet, Chen Mo only felt a chill rush to his head, in the air, turned his head sideways, and saw Maldini kill out of the human wall and poke the ball into the net before goalkeeper Lehmann!

"The ball is in!! The ball is in!! AC Milan took the lead just 2 minutes and 48 seconds into the game, and it was their meritorious captain - Paul who scored! MalLLLLLdiIIIni!!! ”

"Number 3! Milan No.3 forever!! Oh! And Pirlo! Oh, my God! This free-kick tactic is too bold! Directly punished the feet of the Arsenal players! I swear they definitely practiced it before this game!! ”
