477 Final Goal
At this time, the whole Milan team did not know how to deal with this situation, they had never faced this situation, or rather, such a thing was more severe than conceding three goals in seven minutes.
Gattuso, actually tired and cramping? Liverpool's bunch of maniacs, how the hell do they run?
Liverpool still has the upper hand when it comes to fighting for physical strength.
Premier League teams often like to say that they don't have a winter break, that the games are the most intense and the most physically demanding. However, there is one issue that is often overlooked: the Premier League starts in mid-August and ends in mid-May. For teams that have reached the Champions League final, Premier League teams have at least ten days of rest, and if they do not pursue it in the league, or defend their title early, they can even get half a month or even longer.
Serie A teams are still in the habit of starting the league at the beginning of September, and until now, they have not finished the league, just three days ago, Milan had another league game. In terms of physical strength, they are completely no match for Liverpool.
Gattuso seemed to have cramps...... Or rather, he was tired from defending Zhao Yaning...... We can take a look at the statistics of this game, Liverpool, Zhao Yaning has run the most, and now it has reached about 15,000 kilometers, while Milan is Gatusu, who has run 17,000 kilometers......"
"Terrible two guys." Andy Gray couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Fifteen thousand meters of running...... How exactly do they do it? ”
"The record for running in football was set by David Beckham, who ran 16,000 kilometers against Greece in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, and now it seems that this record has been broken, and, if nothing else, Zhao Yaning may break Beckham's distance record with five minutes left. However, Beckham's run was achieved in 90 minutes, and now, Liverpool and Milan are already playing extra time. Martin Taylor didn't forget to say a few good words for Beckham, but even so, he also had a lot of respect for the two people he faced up against in this game, "I thought that this record would be forever, but I really didn't expect it to be broken here." ”
At this time, Zhao Yaning also looked at Gattuso out of breath, and he didn't expect that Gattuso would not fall until this time.
The opponent is a defender, and he is a sweeping defender. Although he doesn't necessarily have much more running than himself, he can adjust his breathing by running at a constant speed, but he keeps doing sprints, and the physical confrontation that Zhao Yaning needs to complete is just a physical confrontation with Gattuso, but the physical confrontation that Gattuso wants to complete is a back-and-forth confrontation with Zhao Yaning, Alonso, and Gerrard. From physical confrontation to explosive power consumption, it is much higher than himself, what has he relied on to survive until now?
But fortunately, now, he can't hold on. In fact, Zhao Yaning was also thinking in his heart that if Gattuso could still hold on, maybe it would be Zhao Yaning's turn to hold on.
However, relying on this opportunity to replace, Zhao Yaning was also able to take a breath. Ambrosini was replaced, Zhao Yaning's pressure did not reduce much, Milan's defense was still very strong, but at this time, Gattuso was replaced, which was a great blow to Milan's strength.
The balance is more and more tilted in Liverpool's favor, Milan's three-goal lead was leveled, Shepchenko missed a penalty, and then missed a single knife in a row, and now Gattuso has also been injured, Milan's confidence at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has been lost, the momentum of this game has been completely reversed, and now Liverpool needs only one goal. Now Milan is already on the verge of collapse because of a series of blows, as long as there is one more goal, Liverpool will completely blow Milan to the ground.
As long as there is more, a goal.
At this time, Zhao Yaning's heart was surprisingly calm, and even he firmly believed that the victory must belong to Liverpool. He doesn't believe in God or gods, but at this time, he firmly believes that Liverpool will definitely win this game.
The game continued, but because his consumption was not light, Zhao Yaning did not make any breakthroughs. He knew that if he didn't want to fall down early like Gattuso, the best way was to reduce the number of breakthroughs and rely on running to complete the attack.
Milan must have some weakness to exploit right now.
Milan's attack can be said to be over. Ancelotti wanted to bet on Shepchenko to score and replaced Crespo, but Shepchenko missed an empty goal, and a zero-distance shè goal was blocked by Dudek with his face, and now he has lost confidence. In fact, from the time he kicked the penalty, he had lost his fighting spirit, and at that time, he was completely different from when he took the penalty in '03. Zhao Yaning still clearly remembers that Shepchenko in 03 kept his eyes on the lower left corner before the penalty kick, and then hit the right, which deceived Buffon very well. But this time on the penalty, he was already confused, and finally chose to push shè in the middle, completely losing his fighting spirit.
Not to mention, Carlo Ancelotti replaced Crespo, which almost completely lost Milan's ability to compete for high balls in the front. Such a tactical mistake is really a stupid and undeserved failure - Ancelotti's pre-match arrangement is like a god, and the on-the-spot command is indeed worthy of his reputation. Milan couldn't have gone 3-0 without the former, and Milan wouldn't have been caught up without the latter.
After all, the problem of Milan's offensive end is not what Zhao Yaning thinks about the most, and the problem of Milan's defense is what Zhao Yaning thinks about more.
Although Zhao Yaning's body was too tired to stand it, his brain was indeed spinning rapidly: Gattuso is the person with the best physical strength in Milan, if he is so tired that he has cramps, then the rest of Milan must also have physical problems.
And if there is anyone who is most likely to have problems...... Then, it should be Pirlo.
In the Milan backline, he has the worst defense and one of the worst movements. Now it's going into extra time
After the game, his running was completely out of step and his protection at the edge of the box had been lost. Carlo Ancelotti was replaced by Ambrosini, not for this reason.
This is an opportunity.
Taking advantage of the substitution, Zhao Yaning put forward his opinion to Gerrard, "Pirlo is no longer good, and his physical strength is also about to run out." At the edge of the box, help me get Ambrosini out of the way, as long as you get him away, the opponent's defense will be loose and we will have a chance. ”
At this time, there is nothing polite anymore. Whoever is the main attacker and who is the helper is the same. Zhao Yaning understands this truth, and Gerrard naturally understands that they only have one problem thinking about now: winning. Gerrard nodded heavily, patted Zhao Yaning, and ran to the front court again.
The race started again, and Gerrard also tried a couple of runs to try and move Ambrosini away. However, Ambrosini was also bent on stability at this time, Gerrard tried several times without success, and at this time, the sidelines had already raised the stoppage time sign for extra time.
Because of Gattuso's injury, this time the extra time was also as long as three minutes. This is rare in overtime.
At this time, Ancelotti and Benitez also stood up and began to lay out how to conduct the penalty shootout on the sidelines. And when Gerald launched another assault, he was also directly pulled down by Seedorf.
At this point in the game, fouls don't matter.
"There are two minutes left to end the game, Liverpool ushered in the last free kick opportunity, let's see, Zhao Yaning's free kick, how to play this time......"
Zhao Yaning kicked the free kick to Gerrard next to him, and then ran up suddenly. Gerrard passed the ball in the direction of Zhao Yaning, and the moment Zhao Yaning received the ball, he was already in a position parallel to the human wall.
When arranging the human wall, you all have to come back, and the moment the human wall spreads, there will definitely be a hole in front of the forbidden area. This vulnerability is something that you can exploit.
Seedorf and Pirlo rushed at once, they were the closest, and as soon as the wall of men was scattered, they rushed up. But Zhao Yaning first stopped the ball to the right with his left foot, and the ball that seemed to be stopped was too big, which just made Seedorf need to adjust his pace to catch up, and just when Seedorf's pace was chaotic, Zhao Yaning also leaned over, and his right foot was pushing and passing, but this time, the football didn't move at all, he just deceived Pirlo to grab and dodge, and between the two of them, there was a gap that was enough for Zhao Yaning to pass.
Zhao Yaning took the ball and squeezed it between the two of them. Kaladze, who caught up from the side, directly slid a tackle, Zhao Yaning hurriedly dodged, but he still kicked the ball. Zhao Yaning had to chase the ball one step, his feet were slow, and Ambrosini, Stam and Maldini in front of him all defended back.
At this time, his plan had failed, but he could not back down. In that case, then just come hard!
He looked at Ambrosini approaching and knew he didn't have time to adjust his pace. Still, he tried to gamble. He picked the ball up with one kick and smashed it right into Ambrosini's thigh. Ambrosini didn't have time to exert his strength, the ball had already fallen, and when he hurriedly stopped, Zhao Yaning had already rushed over, took the ball, and rushed into the penalty area.
Stam and Maldini both came up to him. Zhao Yaning's speed slowed down, and the ball was pushed out with the instep of his right foot, and Stam thought he was going to adjust the shè goal, so he immediately rushed over to try to block it.
But Zhao Yaning's left foot immediately followed, and the ball seemed to be stuck to his foot, and he dodged Stam's up grab, and ran out three steps in stride, throwing him away. And by this time, Maldini had already come up.
This time, it's the right instep push again.
Maldini didn't fall for it again, he didn't rush up to grab the ball at the first time, but Zhao Yaning didn't expect him to do so this time. With a jerk of his right foot, he took a stride and rubbed the ball to the left.
Left foot, shè door!
Maldini was too late to stop it, although he fell to the ground in time and tried to block Zhao Yaning's shèmen route, but it didn't work. Dida pounced like crazy. But Zhao Yaning's rubbing ball was originally rubbed into the air, and his left foot directly hit the ball, picking the ball past Dida's raised fingertips.
The Liverpool fans all opened their mouths, as if cheers were about to burst out, while the Milan fans were all in despair at this time.
However, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced!
In the stands of the Milan fans, there was an excited roar immediately, but before their roar was over, they saw that the football bounced into the penalty area, Dida just turned around, and at this time, Zhao Yaning jumped over Maldini, made a header, and made up the ball into the gate!
“gooooal!!!!! In the 122nd minute, Zhao Yaning's stunner!!! 4-3!!!! Liverpool won the game, Liverpool won the game!!! ”
Martin Taylor shouted loudly, and the Liverpool fans also shouted at this moment, a huge wave seemed to overturn the entire sky, and in the cheers around him, Zhao Yaning also let out a hoarse roar at this time. He rushed to the stands and, like countless fans in the stands, took off his jersey and waved it in his hands.
He didn't expect the goal himself, but that didn't change his excitement! I actually scored, I really scored! We won, we won!
"How did he do it? How the hell is this played? How did he score the header? What the hell is this...... This is God's will, this is God's idea! ”
Andy Gray couldn't speak clearly, and could only attribute it to God's will. Otherwise, what is it that makes Zhao Yaning, who has only scored one header in four years, beat Milan with a header at the last moment?
Throughout the stands, Liverpool fans have already stood up. They are shouting loudly, for this goal, but also for this game!
