Minute by minute the game passed, and as expected, the game was dragged into extra time.

Although at the eighty-fifth minute, both sides couldn't sit still, but they still held back. The Liverpool side has not made any new changes for a long time, and the Milan side has only replaced Oddo with Cafu, and both sides are the same, not daring to make too many changes to the front.

This situation fell into the eyes of the audience, and they all saw it clearly: both sides were waiting for extra time, and even Milan was already pinning their hopes on a penalty shootout.

"If that's the end of the game, it's a great game." Lineker made his own comments on the game, "Liverpool and Milan scored four goals, each goal is beautiful enough, Zhao Yaning and Kaka, both were limited to varying degrees in the game, but they also played their due level in the game, and such a perfect combination of collective strength and star shine is really rare." ”

'Milan and Liverpool contributed a good game. Alan Hansen agrees, "However, I think it's better to let the game go on and play it all." ”

'That's because you're from Liverpool – and with the physical problems, Liverpool's advantage is definitely huge.' Lineker laughed, "However, even so, be careful of Milan's counterattack." ”

Indeed, the problem of physical strength is a huge advantage for Liverpool. But experience is also a huge advantage for Milan.

Moreover, Milan is now bent on defense, and it is very likely that they can hold it. After all, Milan's decline is more reflected in the lack of ball points in the frontcourt, the lack of attacking power, and the ability of fullbacks on the side to weaken and diversify offensive tactics. But when it comes to defense, they're pretty good. Although there is a problem with headers, it seems that Liverpool does not seem to have any intention of bombing in the air, so Milan's defense can also be defended.

But having said that, there is another huge advantage that Lineker does not talk about, nor does he see: Liverpool want to kill their opponents in the last minute, while Milan want a penalty shootout in the last few minutes. Liverpool pinned the hope of winning on their physical strength, will, ability, Milan pinned the hope of winning on the penalty under the control of God, mentally, Liverpool is already in an absolute strong mentality, and Milan's mentality, from the beginning of the game or the mentality of fighting to the death, has reached the end, resigned to fate, such a change in mentality, for Milan itself, also has a great impact. Although the mentality feels that the saying of victory and defeat is very one-sided, but when it comes to the need for full perseverance, the role of willpower is very huge, and Milan's will has begun to loosen, which is great news for Liverpool.

Admittedly, Milan are a strong team and their players are good enough and strong enough not to collapse due to mental stress. However, even so, the morale is getting lower and lower during the game, and it will definitely have a negative impact on them.

The game started again, and when it came to extra time, Milan's squad really shrank further: they had to shrink, physical problems, they couldn't make up for their shortcomings, and sometimes, ability can dictate tactics.

And Liverpool's attack was launched again, and at this time, Liverpool was even more unscrupulous. Now Milan doesn't even have the strength to fight back, they don't have to be afraid of anything.

Zhao Yaning received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, at this time, he was still running, Gattuso did not follow suit, he was closer to the penalty area, and Ambrosini tried to defend Zhao Yaning.

Milan's defensive range is shrinking, in such a narrow range, it doesn't matter whether it gives Zhao Yaning space to accelerate, now for Milan, the important thing is to prevent Zhao Yaning from breaking through with skills, or finding a gap to pass, instead of letting Zhao Yaning accelerate and eat. Gattuso seems to be reckless, but he is not stupid at all, and at this time, he also adjusted his defensive strategy to deal with Zhao Yaning.

"Zhao Yaning has once again got the opportunity to attack, let's see how Zhao Yaning will attack this time."

Zhao Yaning also had a headache at this time: the opponent's defense was indeed exceptionally good. Maldini and Nesta's defensive combination is good enough that it will be extremely difficult to clean them up. Moreover, Milan's defensive system is just as good, and it is still difficult to pass the kind of ball that penetrates the opponent's defense.

However, even so, Zhao Yaning still thinks that he has a way to break their attack.

With a kick to Gerrard, Zhao Yaning ran towards the left wing. This move made Milan's backline players immediately make a move, Gattuso followed, but Zhao Yaning did not immediately enter the penalty area, on the contrary, he asked Gerrard for the ball and rushed towards the bottom position of Cafu's defense.

This kind of kicking, do you want to cross?

Liverpool's high ball play in this game was not very good, and they couldn't even pass a decent high ball. The Premier League team met the Serie A team, and the high-altitude ball has always been their huge advantage, and Milan has long been prepared for this, and they even made special training for this problem before the game, which also made Milito's header opportunities not very many.

However, now that Zhao Yaning is running to the side, Milan still has a sense of precaution: the consumption of physical strength leads to technical deformation in many of the players' movements, and in addition to the acceleration can not keep up, the bounce force will also be affected by physical strength. The Milan players are not young and their physical exertion is also very high, so they also need to pay more attention to the problem of defending high balls.

Zhao Yaning saw it very accurately: compared to 2005, the biggest problem in Milan's defense was that there was no Stam in their backline. Stam's presence has allowed Milan not to fear a power centre-forward or the threat of a high-altitude ball, and his header and strength were a strong point for Milan in 2005.

But now, in Milan's backline, Nesta is already a veteran, and Maldini is older than him, replaced by Cafu, another 37-year-old veteran, in this case, Milan's defensive header ability will definitely not be able to keep up. Once they reach the wing, they will definitely become frightened birds, and they will be careful with their attacks, and even make adjustments.

And just as Zhao Yaning expected, Gattuso followed.

This year can be said to be the peak year of Gattuso. People only noticed the excellence of Milan's Kaka, but they all ignored the fact that after Milan's backline was without Stam, they still maintained excellent defensive strength, which is inseparable from Gattuso's contribution. His excellent defense allowed Milan to maintain their strength, and now at this time, he also followed and continued to try to defend Zhao Yaning.

This is also exactly what Zhao Yaning needs: Gattuso has a very heavy sense of responsibility, and when he is hungry on the side, he will definitely come over, and if Gattuso comes, then Ambrosini will definitely not dare to come. He had to protect Milan's penalty area at the edge of the box and run to the side, he certainly wouldn't dare.

Well, that's your chance. Zhao Yaning stretched out his hand and gestured to his teammates to help, but at this time, he himself was staring at the inside of the penalty area, thinking about what he should do.

Kick up, break through!

This time, Zhao Yaning chose to play on the bottom line. He directly accelerated and ran in the direction of the bottom line. For his choice to break through, Gattuso didn't expect it a little, he thought that Zhao Yaning at this time would not carry out such a reckless attack again, but Zhao Yaning's choice caught him off guard, but he was not afraid of such an attack at all - Zhao Yaning's speed was also affected by his physical strength, and his running was not as fast as when the game started, so why should Gattuso be afraid of anything?

Zhao Yaning started running from the ribs of the penalty area, and his goal was the bottom line position, Gattuso met it, but he didn't pay attention, Zhao Yaning deliberately made a big circle, and the speed of his running was not fast, which was not unrelated to the almost upright posture of his upper body. And what he didn't pay attention to was that relying on the choice of running route, Zhao Yaning easily gave him a feeling that he could completely block Zhao Yaning, so Gattuso had already accelerated his speed unconsciously.

And what Zhao Yaning wants, that is, he accelerates. Isn't the reason why his upper body is upright to make it easier to stop and smash the ball?

But even so, Zhao Yaning still used his right foot to shake the ball forward for the sake of safety, and after Gattuso took a step, Zhao Yaning suddenly retracted his foot and knocked the ball in the opposite direction. Gattuso saw that he had been fooled, he immediately stretched out his foot regardless of the posture that might be injured, and wanted to break the ball, but Zhao Yaning retracted his foot again, pushed the arch of his foot, and kicked the ball from his crotch.

The real and false feints allowed the ball to break through Gattuso's defense, and Gattuso's posture was too late to close, which also allowed Zhao Yaning to successfully break through him.

"Zhao Yaning's breakthrough has been successful!"

In the overtime stage, successfully broke through to the penalty area, how can such a moment not be exciting?

Ritser was on the ribs of the box and Gerrard was at the top of the box as they launched a blast that prevented Andrea Pirlo and Ambrosini from reinforcing the backline. And Maldini had already pounced at this time, but Zhao Yaning took a step towards the bottom line, stopped the ball on the bottom line, and rushed along the bottom line. However, even so, Maldini stuck out his foot: he would rather it be a corner kick than let Zhao Yaning break through.

This is also the opportunity that Zhao Yaning wants. He lifted his left foot, took a stride to rub the ball, and then, with a pass with his right foot, kicked the ball out!

“gooool！！！！ Kuyt!! Kuyt takes the lead again for Liverpool! Zhao Yaning's bottom line broke through, Kuyt scored another goal, and Liverpool led Milan 3-2! ”

Kuyt's header broke Milan's defense, and also made Zhao Yaning clench his fist fiercely: We can't see your loopholes, but the biggest loopholes, leaving them to the most critical time to use them, can produce the greatest damage effect!
