Chapter 106, Who is the forced king?
Not only Ibrahimovic, but also the players of AC Milan were also stimulated by Yelo's goal.
The current AC Milan is not the AC Milan that came after several disastrous seasons of recruitment (mainly lack of money), and the current Milan still have the afterglow of Champions League dominance, and their squad is quite impressive, at least in terms of fame.
After they started running more aggressively.
He also gradually found some advantages in the midfield.
Malaga also decided to avoid the edge after the goal, shrinking the formation and consolidating the defense.
This allowed AC Milan to start getting some attacking chances.
Eighteenth minute of the game.
Ibrahimovic picked up the ball on the edge and fired a long-range shot!
The football grazed the post and went out of the bottom line, almost helping AC Milan equalize!
And after this shot, Ibrahimovic was more active.
In the twenty-first minute of the game, he pulled out to the top of the arc of the penalty area to receive the ball, and his body resisted Demichelis to force the ball to pull the ball and turn around and shoot!
If it weren't for Matthison's blocking, the ball would obviously be heading for a dead end!
On two occasions, Ibrahimovic's shots were a threat.
This excites AC Milan supporters.
"Ibrahimovic turns and shoots!! It's blocked again!! Never mind! That's how it kicks! This is the strength that AC Milan will show in the Champions League! ”
'Ibrahimovic was quite active after Yelo's goal, he threatened the Malaga goal several times in a row, and AC Milan started to regain the initiative in the game!
"Beautiful! Ibrahimovic has shown what he is capable of as a top centre-forward! The game is starting to be controlled by AC Milan! ”
The Italian commentators cheered on AC Milan.
In Milan, the Milan fans, who had been hit by Yelo's goal, also cheered.
"This is Milan! This is Milan!! ”
"Come on! Just kicked, we just took a nap! ”
"What kind of bull team is Malaga, and what kind of team does it deserve to win against Milan?"
Milan fans rejoiced.
Malaga's supporters have been somewhat relentless.
Duan Xuan frowned: "Ibrahimovic's performance is quite active, but his activity is based on AC Milan's control of the overall situation!" After AC Milan stepped up their midfield movement and confrontation, they gradually seized control of some of the midfield, which gave Ibrahimovic three chances to threaten the goal with the ball twice. Malaga will have to withstand this period and find a way to find its rhythm! ”
"In fact, in this case, Malaga may not have no chance, as long as there is a counterattack, Malaga expands the score, AC Milan will be completely passive!" Xu Yang added on the side.
Everyone knows this truth, one side presses the attack, and there will definitely be space at the back, but the problem is that when the opponent controls the possession, the opportunities to get a counterattack are really limited, and before that, there is also the pressure of the opponent's attack constantly hitting the defensive line.
Pellegrini frowned, and Maroska suggested on the side: "Why don't you let the players give up the front and shrink the back defense?" ”
Pellegrini thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, it can't be like this, we can't be weaker than them in momentum!" ”
Thinking of this, taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, Pellegrini pulled Tulalang to teach him face-to-face: "We strengthen the pressing of the midfield!" Don't let them pass the ball easily! ”
Tulalang nodded repeatedly.
Soon.
Pellegrini's tweaks paid off.
The two sides engaged in a hand-to-hand battle in the midfield!
Although the interruptions began to increase, at least the danger in front of the goal in Malaga was temporarily defused.
Twenty-eighth minute of the game.
Big Boateng received a pass from Seedorf.
The Ghana international is actually a dual national of Germany and Ghana, and his younger brother Boateng was the main central defender of the German national team and Bayern Munich.
Before he was selected for the Ghana national team, he had actually been playing for the German U-series national team.
Being able to play in a football powerhouse with a very rich talent pool like Germany has been playing the main team at all levels, and the strength of Da Boateng should not be underestimated.
After receiving the ball, he was ready to carry Tulalang directly and run over it with his physical strength.
Tulalang was also not polite.
He slammed his shoulder, and Big Boateng fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle blows.
Foul! AC Milan win a free-kick in front.
Tulalang grinned and touched his shoulder.
On the way back to defend, he complained to Demichelis: "This guy is an atypical striker."
It is indeed not very common for such a strong front waist to be borne.
Generally, the forward players in people's imagination are players with beautiful feet, relatively thin figures, and not much on the body.
However, Boateng's performance in the forward position can be described as a "reinforced concrete" forward midfield, his footwork is not flashy, and he is also very good at using his strong body.
"This guy used to play as a center forward, and a lot of his skills are center skills." Demichelis said.
Tulalang nodded and said, "This style is really a bit difficult to deal with!" ”
As the two spoke, Big Boateng got up from the ground, a little farther away, and he looked at Van Bommel, who is usually the first penalty taker if he wants to kick the ball into the box and let the players in the box fight for the top.
But at this very moment.
Ibrahimovic took the ball in his arms first and said unceremoniously: "I'll kick this ball!" ”
Big Boateng shrugged at Van Bommel, who could only shake his head helplessly.
This big man is this character.
He said he wanted to play himself, and it was better not to fight him.
"AC Milan got a free kick a little farther away, about 289 meters away, Ibrahimovic stood in front of the ball, it seems that he is going to come directly to hit the kick, Ibrahimovic has a record of scoring from a long distance free kick! And he showed his good form before that, and it was not impossible for him to try it. ”
This was stated by the commentator for Sky Sports Italia.
Ibrahimovic stood in front of the ball, set up the football, and then took a few steps back.
Malaga goalkeeper Ruben is nervously setting up the defence, and he is indeed a little nervous.
I've been playing second in Malaga for a few seasons and haven't even played a few league games apart from playing in competitions like the Copa del Rey.
I didn't expect to start now against a team like AC Milan in the Champions League.
This is, of course, quite a lot of pressure for Ermen Ruben.
Once he had set up the wall, the referee blew the whistle.
Ibrahimovic ran quickly, and after a few big strides, he pumped the ball with his right foot on the instep!
The soccer ball soars into the air, crosses the wall and begins to fall!
"Deciduous balls!"
In the exclamation of the commentators, the ball quickly fell towards the goal, and Ruben could only watch the football crash into the net.
In this moment.
The visiting fan zone was boiling.
After conceding the goal, they seemed a little anxious, and the fans of AC Milan's expeditionary force, who had been suppressed for almost half an hour, jumped up, raised their arms and shouted, and burst out all the emotions that had been suppressed for 30 minutes.
"Beautiful! Pretty! Pretty! Groundbreaking free-kick goal! Ibrahimovic! Ibrahimovic! ”
"Oh oh! This ball can't be stopped by anyone, it's so exciting, the football falls quickly after it crosses the head of the wall, and it also carries a line that drifts left and right, and the goalkeeper is really difficult to prevent! ”
"Zlatan. Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalized for AC Milan! Now the balance of the game has tipped in AC Milan's favor! They deserve to be a team at the level of Champions League hegemony! ”
The Italian commentators raised their arms and chanted.
On the TV screen, on the football field.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, was the center of attention.
He ran wildly in the direction of the corner flag area, where there was a camera.
He ran up to the camera, clenched his fists and roared, then turned around and pointed his thumbs to the name on the back of his jersey.
"Lao Tzu is Ibrahimovic!"
He arrogantly turned his back to the camera.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Luo.
Really.
Ye Luo also looked at the AC Milan players who were celebrating in the corner flag area at this time.
Eevee smirked and clenched his fist at Ye Luo and went back to the house.
"This guy is really as arrogant as the legend!"
Beside Yelo, Isco said unhappily.
"Isn't it just a goal, crazy what!"
Ye Luo smiled slightly and said, "They equalized, so naturally they have reason to be happy, but. We can't keep them happy for too long! ”
AC Milan will be demoralized after the equaliser, and the best way to dampen their morale is to score!
If Malaga can exceed the score again in a short period of time, AC Milan's momentum will be immediately extinguished by the cold water poured on the head!
'Now Malaga is in trouble, Ibrahimovic's goal is a big morale boost for AC Milan, and AC Milan have been on the rise before that, so Malaga is in a very difficult situation.
Duan Xuan's brows tightened.
The fans of the Dragon Kingdom are also a little anxious.
Now that AC Milan equalised with a world wave, morale is shocking, and if you think about it with your ass, you know that Malaga must be in big trouble now.
At this time, the camera was given to Pellegrini on the sidelines.
The head coach of Malaga also looked like he was holding his hands to his chest and frowning at this time.
Manuel Pellegrini was in a hurry, and the adjustments he had made were paying off, with both sides already forming a degree of balance in midfield.
As a result, Ibrahimovic completely broke the balance with a direct free-kick.
Not far from Manuel Pellegrini, Allegri was in the thick of things, pulling a couple of AC Milan midfielders to quickly explain his latest tactical arrangements.
"Attack! Go on the offensive! Can't give them time to react! ”
Allegri quickly explained.
If AC Milan can overtake the score in a short period of time.
Then they're almost sure to win!
In fact, after conceding a goal, it is indeed easy to suffer a morale blow and the back line is unstable, leading to some kind of black three minutes and other incidents.
If AC Milan score again in a short period of time, they can even expect a big win!
Conceding a goal and then conceding a succession of goals.
The blow to morale and mentality is enormous.
AC Milan's players are veterans, and they certainly know that.
So when the players from both sides lined up and waited for the kick-off whistle.
AC Milan's players are already eager to take the plunge.
Strike while the iron is hot, score another goal, overtake the score, and take the lead!
The first few minutes were just an accident, and the game has just begun!
Ibrahimovic was very excited, he stared at Yelo, who was preparing to kick off with Ruud van Nistelrooy in the center circle, and found that this kid did not look flustered at all.
He couldn't help but snort coldly.
"What are you pretending to be, wait for Uncle Ben to enter another one, see how you pretend!"
Yelo doesn't know what Ibrahimovic is thinking right now.
He is well aware of the morale blow it has on the team.
So, the best way to recover is to score goals!
Before kick-off, Ye Luo had already had a small meeting with his teammates.
Take advantage of this tee shot and play an attack.
Regardless of whether you succeed or not, at least you must suppress the momentum of AC Milan!
So after the referee blew the whistle, Yelo directly passed the ball back to the feet of Cazorla, who retreated to the back waistline.
Then quickly turn around and rush forward.
Joining Yelo in the race were Ruud van Nistelrooy, Isco, Joaquín, two full-backs, Alexis Sanchez and Monterrey.
All of a sudden, six players rushed forward on the halfway line, full of momentum.
However, the AC Milan players also rushed forward as soon as possible to create pressure in the frontcourt!
Neither side showed weakness.
Cazorla didn't rush to pass the ball after receiving the ball, he was waiting for his teammates to run into place.
When AC Milan striker Pato rushed quickly.
Cazorla swings his thighs and launches a long pass!
The ball flew through the air and arced straight towards AC Milan's penalty area.
The ball landed on the right side of Isco's run.
He was watching the ball before it hit the ground.
Looking at the positions of Yelo and Ruud van Nistelrooy, he saw when both went straight into the opponent's penalty area.
Isco understood and did not stop the ball, with the arch of his foot directly at one end.
The ball is passed in the direction of the arc of the penalty area!
Ye Luo, who was cutting forward at high speed, stretched out his foot to stop the ball.
"Beautiful!"
The commentators couldn't help but be amazed.
In high-speed sports, facing the incoming ball at waist height, it is easy and accurate to stop.
This ball feeling has to be amazing.
Also dangled by Yelo's stop ball was Da Boateng.
He originally thought that Ye Luo would rush forward directly, he had already blocked his body on Ye Luo's forward line, and when the time came, there was a high probability that the referee would not blow a foul, and he might even blow a foul for Ye Luo's collision.
It's just that Da Boateng himself thought he had calculated everything, but what he didn't expect was that Ye Luo would choose to stretch out his feet to stop the ball
This kind of ball, let alone when there is defensive pressure, even if it is completely empty, it is difficult to stop well.
But Ye Luo not only stopped perfectly, the football seemed to be stuck to his instep, and before he could hit the ground, he threw it off and easily hooked the ball from Da Boateng's side.
Fortunately.
Seedorf has a wealth of experience.
When you find that the situation is not right, you can directly reach out and pull people, and foul!
Ye Luo was directly lazy and hugged, so he could only spread his hands and look at the referee helplessly.
The referee also did not ink, and after blowing the foul, he showed Seedorf a yellow card.
Seedorf shook his head helplessly and patted Ye Luo on the shoulder to apologize.
The veteran Seedorf's physical condition is indeed not as good as when he was younger, and if he doesn't foul the ball, he is not sure that he can stop Yelo from taking the ball into the penalty area.
If you let Yelo dribble the ball into the box, it will be troublesome.
The previous 30-odd minutes of play had already made the AC Milan defenders aware of the danger of Yelo.
When he gets to the penalty area, he won't even have a chance to foul!
Ye Luo held the football and placed the ball at the top of the penalty area.
He was the team's first free-kick taker.
This opportunity to shoot directly at the goal, he naturally deserves it.
At this time.
The fans at the Rose Garden Stadium held their breath.
They were all staring at Ye Luo, who had already put on a posture.
At the front.
There are Ibrahimovic, Pato, Seedorf, and Van Bommel on the human wall.
They're all big stars.
Goalkeeper Abiano stared intently ahead.
A sharp whistle sounded, and Yelo began to run.
The speed is gradually picking up!
One last step!
The thigh swings the calf, and the inside of the foot suddenly sharpens the ball.
The soccer ball takes off into the air with a strong spin!
It's a curling shot!
The players who were setting up the wall jumped to their feet, Ibrahimovic jumped up with all his might, the ball flew over his head, he craned his neck and tried to push the ball out, but he didn't touch it!
This made Ibu breathe a sigh of relief.
Because he's tall enough.
From the time he jumped up to the highest point, he was not able to touch the ball, which means that the ball flew very high, and it was likely to be higher than the crossbar.
In the process of landing, Ibrahimovic turned his head to look at the goal, and his pupils shrank!
football
As it rotated, it took a huge arc and went straight to the tenth corner where the beam and the column met!
Abiano was already in the air, but even if his arm was twenty centimeters long, it would not have been possible to touch the football that flew into the goal at a right angle between the crossbar and the post!
Rumble!
The whole Rose Garden Stadium exploded!
Abiano fell to the ground in horror.
Ibrahimovich's eyes were a little frightened, and he turned his head to look at Yelo.
Ye Luo opened his arms, calmly spread his hands, and smiled at Ibrahimovic.
Free kick only?
Why all the fuss and shouting?
The smile made Ibrahimovic's face burn.
His previous series of performances, in the face of this cloudy atmosphere, have all become. Joke.
Damn it
This kid is the real king.
The real king!
Ibrahimovic clenched his fists and vowed to bring this force back!
