The Ball at Your Feet

~: Seven hundred and thirty-fifth: the foot

The game time passed by minute by minute, and as expected, the game was dragged to overtime.

Although both sides couldn't sit still at the eighty-five minutes, they still held back. The Liverpool side has not made any new changes for a long time, and the Milan side only replaced Otto with Cafu. Both sides are the same and dare not make too many changes to the frontcourt.

Such a situation fell in the eyes of the audience, and they all understood: both sides are waiting for overtime, and even Milan has already hoped for a penalty shootout.

"If the game ends here, it would be a great game." Lineker made his own comment on the game, "Liverpool and Milan scored four goals, and each of them was beautiful enough. , Zhao Yaning and Kaka were both restricted in the game to varying degrees, but they also played at their own level in the game. The combination of collective strength and the star’s brilliance is such a perfect game. It’s really amazing. rare."

"Milan and Liverpool contributed a good game." To this, Alan Hansen also deeply agreed, "However, I think it is better to let the game go and finish the game."

"That's because you are from Liverpool-with physical problems, Liverpool's advantage will definitely be huge." Lineker laughed. "However, even so, you have to be careful of Milan's counterattack."

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

Moreover, Milan is now obsessed with defense, and it is very likely that they can live with Xiaojiao Girl: campus boss. After all, Milan's decline is more reflected in the lack of offensive points in the frontcourt and insufficient offensive power. The wide-backs on the wing can be weakened and cannot diversify offensive tactics. But when it comes to defense, they are still good. Although there are problems with headers, it seems that Liverpool have no plans to bomb them at high altitudes. Therefore, Milan's defense can also be held.

But having said that, there is another great advantage that Lineker did not reach and did not see: what Liverpool wanted was to kill in the final time, and what Milan wanted was the point in the last few minutes. The ball wins. Liverpool pin their hope of winning on their physical strength, will and ability. Milan pin their hope of winning on a penalty kick controlled by God. From the mentality, Liverpool is already in an absolute strong mentality, and Milan’s mentality, From the start of the game, the mentality of fighting to the death, has reached the end, resignation, this mentality change, for Milan himself, also has a big impact. Although the mentality feels that the winning and losing method is very one-sided, when it comes to the need to fully adhere to, the role of willpower is very huge. Milan's will has begun to loosen, which is great news for Liverpool.

It is true that Milan is a strong team. Their players are strong enough and strong enough that they will not collapse due to excessive pressure. However, even so, the morale of the game is getting lower and lower, and it will definitely have an adverse effect on them.

The game started again. In the overtime period, Milan's lineup really shrank further: they had to shrink. Physical problems made them irreparable shortcomings. Sometimes, ability can determine tactics.

And Liverpool’s attack was launched again, and, at this time, Liverpool was even more unscrupulous. Milan now has no power to counterattack, and they don't need to be afraid of anything.

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

Milan’s defensive range is shrinking. In such a narrow range, it is no longer important to give Zhao Yaning room to accelerate. Now for Milan, the important thing is to prevent Zhao Yaning from breaking through with skills or finding a gap to pass the ball. Instead of letting Zhao Yaning speed up and eat. Gattuso seemed reckless, but not stupid at all. 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 us see how Zhao Yaning will launch an attack this time."

At this time, Zhao Yaning was also very troubled: the opponent's defense was indeed abnormal. The combination of Maldini and Nesta's defender is enough, and it is extremely difficult to keep them clean after all. Moreover, Milan's defensive system is also the same. It is still difficult to pass the ball that penetrates the defense line.

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

One kick gave Gerrard the ball, and Zhao Yaning ran to the left. This move caused Milan’s defenders to immediately make a move. Gattuso followed, but Zhao Yaning did not immediately enter the penalty area. On the contrary, he asked Gerrard to get the ball and defended against Cafu. The foot position rushed past.

Do you want to pass this kind of kick?

Liverpool's high ball in this game is not very good, they can not 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. Milan have long been prepared for this. They even dealt with this problem and carried out special training before the game. However, this also made Milito's header chances not many throughout the game.

However, now that Zhao Yaning runs on the side road, Milan has a defensive awareness of this: physical exhaustion causes many players' movements to be technically deformed, and in addition to acceleration, the jumping ability is also affected by physical strength. . The Milan players are not young anymore, and their physical exertion is also very large. In this case, they also need to pay more attention to the problem of defensive high-altitude ball.

Zhao Yaning saw it very accurately: Compared to 2005, the biggest problem with Milan’s defense was that there was no Stam in their defense. Stam's existence allows Milan to not fear the threat of a powerful center or high-altitude ball. His header and strength are the latest chapter of Milan's 2005 rebirth of a strong point.

But now, Milan’s defense line, Nesta is already a veteran, and Maldini is older than him, replaced by Cafu, is a 37 veteran, in this case, Milan His defensive header ability is definitely unable to keep up. After they get to the side, they will definitely become scary birds, be careful about their attacks and even make adjustments.

And just as Zhao Yaning had expected, Gattuso followed.

This year can be the pinnacle of Gattuso. People only noticed Milan’s Kaka’s success, but they ignored them all. After Milan’s defense was missing Stam, they still maintained their defensive strength, which is inseparable from Gattuso’s contribution. Of. His outstanding defense allowed Milan to maintain strength, and now at this time, he also followed and continued to try to defend Zhao Yaning.

This is exactly what Zhao Yaning needs: Gattuso's sense of responsibility is very heavy, he will definitely come when he gets hungry on the side, and Gattuso will come, so Ambrosini must not dare to come. He has to protect Milan's penalty area at the front of the penalty area and run to the side road indiscriminately. He must not dare.

Then, this is my own opportunity. Zhao Yaning stretched out and gestured to his teammates to help. At this time, he himself was staring in the penalty area, thinking about what he should do.

Start, break!

This time, Zhao Yaning chose to play the bottom line. He speeded up and ran, and rushed towards the bottom line. Gattuso did not expect him to break through. He thought that Zhao Yaning would not make such a reckless attack at this time. However, Zhao Yaning's choice caught him off guard. However, such an attack, he But there is no fear at all-Zhao Yaning's speed is also affected by his physical strength. His running is not as fast as the start of the game. Why should Gattuso be afraid?

Zhao Yaning started running from the ribs of the penalty area, and his goal was the bottom line. Gattuso greeted him without paying attention. Zhao Yaning made a large circle on purpose, and his running speed was not fast. The almost upright posture of his upper body is not unimportant. What he didn’t even notice was that Zhao Yaning easily gave him the feeling that Zhao Yaning could be completely blocked by the choice of the running route. Therefore, Gattuso had already accelerated his speed without realizing it. .

And what Zhao Yaning wanted was for him to accelerate. Isn’t his upper body upright to make it easier to stop and smash the ball?

But even so, Zhao Yaning, for the sake of safety, first flicked with his right foot to send the ball forward, but after Gattuso took a step, Zhao Yaning suddenly stopped and knocked the ball in the opposite direction~www. lightnovelpub.net~ Gattuso saw that he was being fooled. Regardless of the possible injury position, he immediately stretched out his foot and wanted to break the ball. However, Zhao Yaning retracted his foot again, pushing the arch of the foot, and pushing the ball away. He kicked it under the crotch.

True and false fake moves made the ball break through Gattuso's defense, and Gattuso's posture was not close enough, and Zhao Yaning successfully broke through him.

"Zhao Yaning made a breakthrough!"

In the overtime period, he successfully broke through to the penalty area. How could it not be exciting at this moment?

Riise was on the side of the penalty area, and Gerrard was at the top of the penalty area, and at the same time launched an impact. Their actions made Pirlo and Ambrosini unable to reinforce the defense. And Maldini had already pounced at this time, but Zhao Yaning leaned a step towards the bottom line, stopped the ball above the bottom line, and rushed along the bottom line. However, even so, Maldini still stretched out his foot: he would rather it be a corner kick than Zhao Yaning can break through.

This is exactly the opportunity Zhao Yaning wants. He lifted his left foot, stepped to rub the ball, and then he passed the ball with his right foot and kicked the ball out!

"Al!!! Kuyt!!! Kuyt took the lead for Liverpool again! Zhao Yaning broke through the bottom line and Kuyt scored another goal. Liverpool led Milan 3-2!"

Kuyt’s header broke Milan’s defense and made Zhao Yaning clenched his fists fiercely: We are not invisible to your loopholes, but the biggest loopholes are reserved for use at the most critical moment. It can produce the greatest damage effect!
