The Ball at Your Feet

Nesta's accidental injury made Milan's morale even worse.

The entire second half of Milan's game was a complete mess, consecutive conceded goals, morale slipping, Milan's morale has been getting worse. This also makes this game more and more difficult to predict the results.

Just now, Zhao Yaning's impact almost overturned Milan alone. If it weren't for Nesta's defensive advantage, Milan might have lost. But now, what they are facing is another attrition. Now Milan has also begun to appreciate the feelings of the Liverpool people in the first half of the game.

"We still have a chance, don't worry." Maldini was moved to the central defender position, but he still greeted everyone on the team, "It's not a bad thing to fight fiercely, as long as you get another one, their morale, also It's all gone."

Everyone knows this, but scoring is easier said than done!

"The match between Milan and Liverpool has increasingly evolved into a comparison of will and physical strength." Martin Taylor said, "Now, it's up to who can score the goal first."

At this time, both sides of the game were indeed deadlocked. On Liverpool's offensive line, only Zhao Yaning has enough breakthrough ability, and Milan, on the one hand, has a good enough defensive system for him. On Milan’s attack line, although Kaka has been blocked, Shepchenko is now starting to dribble the ball and make surprise attacks. Although this is a big threat to Liverpool, it is now replaced by Crespo. , Milan’s frontcourt is missing one runner, although Thomason’s frontcourt counter-grab ability can cause a lot of trouble for Liverpool. However, Milan is tantamount to blocking all hope in Shepchenko.

Thomason’s role is not a terminator, but a very good troublemaker. With him here, Shepchenko can indeed play a bigger role. But doing so is tantamount to putting all the bets on Shepchenko. Whether he can score is Milan's last hope.

But at this time, Liverpool is decisive enough defensively. Although Shepchenko launched several offensives, but within a short period of time, he did not succeed in obtaining opportunities.

However, until the end of the 90-minute game, such a victory or defeat could not be distinguished. Although both sides have been mentally prepared for a long time, but when it comes to overtime, they still feel a lot of pressure.

"After entering the overtime game, don't treat him as an overtime game to determine the outcome. Think of it as a golden ball game. As long as we get the first goal, we will be able to win." Benitez said. At the same time, they also began to make arrangements, "Their skills are very good, our defensive task is very heavy, but we can defend! They are also very tired, as long as we defend a few attacks, Milan will collapse, they There will be nothing left. We have done a good job, and we will be able to persevere!"

Benitez spoke loudly. His voice was a bit rush, but he still talked about tactics. "Their Crespo has gone off the court, and the high-altitude ball ability in the frontcourt has dropped sharply. Give me more ground. Defensively, don't pay attention to the latest chapter of the high-altitude football wolf rush! Their backcourt is tired and can't hold it, Joey, can you still run?"

Zhao Yaning nodded.

"Then run for me. If you stir up the frontcourt, they all have to move, drag their back line to move, and then Stephen will have a chance. They are older and weaker. You can do it. !"

"There are still thirty minutes, thirty minutes, guys!" Gerrard also yelled, "After these thirty minutes, the champion is ours! We can get the trophy back, and we won't have to pay it back in this lifetime. Up!"

Liverpool already has four Champions Leagues, and another one is five Champions Leagues. With five Champions Leagues, a copy can be kept forever, which is why Gerrard yelled not to return it.

After a few high-fives, the Liverpool players reinvigorated their fighting spirit. At this time, the game started again.

Soon the offense and defense of both sides began. Milan chose to attack, but at this time, Liverpool did not shrink the defense, the two sides speeded up together-now, it is time to desperately.

The advance of Liverpool's defense also prevented Milan's attack from proceeding smoothly. The two sides are entangled in the midfield, and because of the fast pace and physical exertion, there are no small technical distortions. The rhythm of the offensive and defensive transition of both sides has become extremely fast. There are not a few fights and mistakes. The attack that really took shape, on the contrary, disappeared.

It wasn't until nearly a hundred minutes ago that Kaka sent the ball to the left through a through ball, and Seedorf, who had inserted it, received the ball and began to rush over quickly.

But with this kick, Seedorf chose to pass it directly. Carragher's header pushed the ball out of the baseline, and he fell again.

"Seedorf's pass is not a threat...but it seems that Carragher is injured again."

Martin Taylor also thinks Liverpool are a bit too unlucky: the whole team has been injured once and again throughout the season. I thought Carragher was the strongest of them. Who knew that he had a problem in the last game. Up.

"The groin near your left leg is strained-Jimmy, you have to rest." The team doctor looked at his condition and couldn't help but said, "The groin near your two legs are injured. In this state, you It’s impossible to kick anymore. You must rest."

"I have a rest, you play?" Carragher smiled instead.

"But... Japan will be longer."

"For me, where will Japan have a long time to come. It's been twenty years. We have only entered the final once, and the next time may not be when. This game is all mine." Carragher shook his head. " In any case, I'll talk about it after the game."

Carragher returned to the field, in exchange for a round of applause. Both of his legs have been injured. At this time, he can still play football, and it is completely his life.

"Carragher continued to play, he now has both legs injured, but he still insisted on participating in the game. Regardless of success or failure, he is the hero of this game."

Soon, Milan's offensive came again.

This time, after the corner kick was taken, it was pushed out of the penalty area. Kaka received the ball and passed it to Shepchenko. Shepchenko rushed up with the ball. After a change of direction and dropped Haman, facing Carragher's supplementary defense, he kicked again. The spike passed, and then facing Traore, who was filling in, he passed the ball to Thomason who was inserted on the right. Thomason did not choose to shoot, but waited for Kaka from behind to come in. The foot passed back and gave the ball to Kaka.

Less than five yards away, Kaka shot immediately. But in front of him, Carragher immediately made a tackle.

The feet of the two hit together, the ball was tackled out of the baseline, and Kaka also fell into the penalty area. When the referee came up, his finger pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation.

"A penalty kick, the referee whistled a penalty. Read the full text of Tian Ni Xuan Dian! In the 101st minute of overtime, Milan got a penalty that could directly kill the game!"

The Milan fans immediately burst into cheers. Shepchenko went to the penalty spot with a smile on his face. At this time, the penalty was awarded, which greatly improved Milan's morale. It also convinced him that Milan would definitely win.

"At this time, Milan was given a penalty. It was a bit..." Martin Taylor didn't know what to say. It's already overtime. The game process between the two sides has always been ups and downs, and it has been testing people's psychological endurance. When it comes to overtime, it has become a competition of willpower and physical strength. At this time, a penalty kick is awarded. , Basically, the half-hour-long game was all concentrated to this moment.

If Milan scored this goal, then Liverpool's will to resist will be exhausted. But if Milan loses this penalty... then it is definitely Milan that crashes.

Both sides are now relying on their will to play, it depends on whose will is the first to collapse. Playing in extra time can also be said to be a double test of physical strength and willpower, but now, this penalty is tantamount to putting everything aside and making a desperate gamble.

"Carragher looked very excited... In slow play, Kaka really pushed the ball away when Carragher tackled. This foot first touched Kaka's foot, and then touched the ball. It was an unmistakable penalty." Martin Taylor was a little helpless. If Carragher is not injured, maybe there will be no problem-but who can say for such a thing? Football matches are inherently irregular.

Gerrard stepped forward and pulled Carragher away. At this time, saying that those are no longer useful. Although the penalty kick has affected the situation, it is still fair, and it cannot be said that there is any problem. There is only one question now: how to save the ball.

Dudek's performance in this game is really hard to say. Lost three in the half, and in the second half it took Traore and Carragher twice to ensure that the door was not lost. His performance, no matter how you look at it, can only be said to be very poor.

The referee stepped aside, before blowing the whistle, Shepchenko stood on the penalty spot, preparing to take a free throw. Milan's players are also preparing to shoot outside the penalty area. But Shepchenko raised his head at this time, but saw Dudek there, and started preparatory activities.

It's not so much preparation, it's a trick: first he jumped twice like gymnastics, waved his arms a few times, kicked his thighs, and then stood still, twisting like noodles.

This kind of action stunned everyone.

"What is he doing?" Gerrard asked outside the penalty area.

"Don't ask me, I don't know him." Riise replied firmly, "Maybe it's crazy..."

But at this time, the referee's whistle sounded.

Shepchenko, who was dumbfounded by Dudek's dance, didn't have too much thinking time~www.ltnovel.com~ He could only run and kick the ball out. But after kicking the ball out, he noticed it. He kicked it, and it turned out to be a penalty kick that went straight to the center.

What a stupid shot! How can you play in the middle at this time! Dudek took the ball directly into his arms and ran in stride-Liverpool launched a fast break.

"Dudek has done something for Liverpool! He saved Shepchenko's penalty!" Martin Taylor shouted happily, "If you only look at the performance of the first 80 minutes, Dudek was shot. Reasonable. But seeing his current performance, we must say that it is right to let him survive!"

Shepchenko, who had not scored a goal, was also stunned, and his heart was blank. It can be said that Liverpool's defense is good, but now this time, it is his own problem.

I was actually bewildered by Dudek's dance in front of the goal, and missed an excellent opportunity.

Could it be that God really bless Liverpool? ——

ps: There are more.
