Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tough Purple Lily

The 30-year-old Maldini is certainly no match for the 22-year-old Ukrainian nuclear warhead in terms of speed and explosiveness, but the experience of the old horse is more than enough to make up for these shortcomings. Costacuta switched positions with Southgate today, after all, the right central defender is opposite Trezeguet, and Milan's No. 5 is not stupid at all, and it is left to the British, who are better at heading, to defend.

In this counterattack, Fiorentina's right-back Torricelli didn't have time to follow up, so the old horse was not worried about the side, but just a step behind and followed Sheva, Costacuta's supplementary defense came very fiercely, and pounced directly on the outside line of the opponent's breakthrough, which is the tacit understanding that he and Maldini have accumulated for 10 years since the 88 season.

Sheva had to slow down if he wanted to move sideways to the middle, and Maldini was stuck in his path. Just when the Milan duo was confidently preparing to snatch the ball back from the feet of the young purple No.7, Shevchenko saw the right moment and poked the ball between Costacuta's legs with a deft toe, and before the opponent could react, Sheva had already completed the overtake.

The horse team watched as the jersey worn by their old partner changed from red and black striped shirts to black and white, and the red ran to Costacuta's face, and the veteran was ashamed! But that's not all, the experienced Milan No. 5 immediately planned to foul, after all, the ball was still outside the penalty area, but unfortunately he misjudged Shevchenko's speed! Lao Ke, who was about to knock over his opponent with his shoulders sideways, slammed into the air, and then lost his center of gravity and knocked himself to the ground.

In the next second, Shevchenko, who had already burst into the penalty area, volleyed the outside of his right foot into the far corner before Abbiati attacked.1:0, and the away Purple Lily scored first through a counterattack!

Fiorentina boss Cecci in the stands. Gao Li couldn't hide the excitement on his face, this ball is so exciting! This is not a casual cat and dog team, it was the best combination of central defenders and wingbacks in Europe who defended Shevchenko just now!

“Seiu

mito! Amicomio. (Dude!)" Cech. Gao Li shouted directly.

After sending Barty away, the team brought in 22-year-old Shevchenko and 21-year-old Trezeguet, and nearly half of the club's shareholders were not optimistic about these two signings, but the two youngsters have already conquered the Purple Lily fans in two rounds. Together, these two people are half of Barty's worth, and the team is absolutely forced to make money!

In fact, Costacuta really can't be blamed for this ball, who would have expected Sheva to handle the ball so delicately during high-speed travel?! It's just so dexterous that it's over, harm! If you want to blame Italy for not having nuclear weapons, of course Corvo can't imagine that this thing was launched like this.

This ball stunned Lee Berne, Wo Nima has to have a BUFF bonus to play in San Siro?! In that case, by the time Purple Lily kicks the old woman, Trezeguet will have enough for them to drink a pot. Thinking of this, the teenager suddenly looked at his teammates, no wonder he won Monaco so easily in the last game of the Champions League, Gallardo played really well!

Yes! It's a big loss!!! Who do you see I asked Galliani to buy?!

Gattuso, Milan

Baggio, Juventus, Brescia

Robbie. Fowler, Liverpool

Pire, Arsenal

Camoranesi, Juventus

Bodø, Werder Bremen

!!! I have to burn incense and worship Buddha when I go back, and look forward to next year's Champions League knockout round 16 into 8, 8 into 4, semi-finals, and finals to arrange for us to go to Bremen, Arsenal, Liverpool and Juventus respectively.

I should have bought Cannavaro, Raul, Pep Guardiola, David Beckham, Van der Sar, Hasselbaink, Carlos!

Just look at this lineup!

Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar (Manchester United, Ajax)

Defenders: Carlos (Inter, Real Madrid), Cannavaro (Juventus, Real Madrid), Desailly (Chelsea, Marseille), Cafu (Roma)

Defender: Pep Guardiola (Barcelona)

Midfielders: Pire (Arsenal), Baggio (Fiorentina, Inter, Juventus), David Beckham (Manchester United, Real Madrid)

Forward: Robbie. Fowler (Liverpool)/Raul (Real Madrid)/Hasselbaink (Chelsea)

Isn't this lineup fragrant? With all kinds of buffs, I went to the Champions League, tears! This special Sheva has a BUFF, even if there is a Milan No. 10 Rui Costa opposite!

No matter! Again, it's just dry! Anyway, the first to be bald must be Juventus, hahaha. I just need to wait a few years to make sure that Kaka and Nesta are bought, Kaka Shevanesta has passed, we are also a red and black team, no one is afraid!?

In any case, the goal conceded in the opening 9 minutes was a wake-up call for Milan, and none of the seven Serie A giants this season is easy to deal with! Li Byrne also deliberately strengthened the pressing of Rui Costa, compared to ending the opponent's shot, or stifling the opponent's pass at the passing end is more reliable, not to mention that Rui Costa's physical strength is still much weaker than Sheva.

But Rui Costa is also a big guy with a value of 88 in the end, and it is really not so easy to limit, and the game has entered a state of anxiety.

The biggest headache was Trapattoni's lineup changes to Fiorentina after taking the lead. The game entered the 22nd minute, just after Milan had just completed a threatening attack, the old coach decisively replaced the attacking player Mofio with 25-year-old defender Coys, and played a defensive counterattack. Rui Costa is back in his familiar midfield position, with three central midfielders behind him to protect the defence.

This made AC Milan's attack instantly mired, with one of the three fronts squabbling on the face of an opponent's defender, and only Robbie on their own front line, who was difficult to support. Fowler, England's talented goalscorer, is now in an even more difficult situation than Sheva and Trezeguet.

The fullbacks of the two teams are also on the tip of the needle at the moment, Cafu stepped forward, Fiorentina's Heinrich came up to contain it, the old horse pressed forward, and the former Juventus fierce Torricelli came up. At the same time, Purple Lily's two left-back assists are not bad, and both teams can't find a breakthrough for a while, but Purple Lily is really not in a hurry, after all, they are fighting away, and there is still a 1-goal lead.

Until halftime, neither side scored again, and the strangulation in the midfield was too intense, with Desailly, Gallardo, Maldini and Costa Curta each receiving a yellow card. The opposite side is not much better, the hot Repka, the full-backs Torricelli and Heinrich, the central midfielder Serena and the midfielder Simeone, and even the baguette on the front line, if you don't count the goalkeepers, almost per capita yellow vests.

Such a situation is really difficult to crack!
