Chapter 042 Dedicated to Puerta
Updated: 2012-11-05
Zhang Yang was officially named the European top scorer last season by UEFA and won the European Golden Boot. This immediately attracted the attention of the global media, and in China, the media and fans have begun to cheer excitedly. Cheer for Zhang Yang.
With the promotion of the Champions League, this event has now become recognized as the top football event. The Champions League position in the hearts of Chinese fans is getting higher and higher.
Therefore, Chinese fans were very excited to see Zhang Yang receive such honors. Drogba, Henry, Etoo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Torres, Van Nistruei, Raul. Zhang Yang beat these superstars and became the best forward in Europe in the past year!
On the Chinese Internet, there have been discussions like "Zhang Yang has become one of the world's top scorers", but there is no conclusion yet. However, one thing is recognized, that is, this young man has become the pride of all Chinese fans, and they cheer for him and are proud of him!
The World Cup, European Cup and European Champions League are regarded as the three most anticipated events by football fans. Because they are the top events in the world today and the highest football; they are the masters and symbols of honor; they are the most attractive and appealing, they are the most star-studded, they are the most suspenseful and interesting. The World Cup and European Cup only once every four years, and the limitations of the tournament-based competitions have led to the constant occurrence of unpopularity, so the result is often not the best team to laugh to the end. Only once a year
The Champions League is the real conversation between strong and powerful. Almost all top stars are gathered here. If a team wants to win the club's highest honor, from group stage to knockout stage, it must go through the home and away system and determine the outcome in the final. It also takes 10 games to stage a dark horse miracle. It is difficult for a team without sincerity, tenacity and real strength as the foundation. Therefore, in the hearts of fans, the Champions League is the most intense venue for confrontation, the most suspenseful and the most real result.
The charm of the Champions League is that there are always stories, the reversal miracle between the Red Devils and the Reds, AC Milan revenge Liverpool, Zidane and Miatovic's winning blow, and the 40-year separation between Maldini and his son... The ups and downs of the game always become the topic of conversation for office workers who are red with their eyes. For many fans, watching the Champions League is a top visual enjoyment and a life inertia; for many people who like nightlife, the Champions League is a way of enjoyment, a plate of beer can be served in the tavern.
Zhang Yang, this authentic Chinese young man, has also become the most sumptuous meal for Chinese fans when watching the game late at night and never get tired of eating.
It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone likes to be arrogant.
After the 2006/2007 European Football Awards Ceremony and the 2007/2008 European Champions League Group Draw Ceremony, last season's UEFA Champions League champion AC Milan will play at the Luis II Stadium in Monte Carlo, Monaco and last season's UEFA Champions League champion Sevilla, which is the European Super Cup match!
Due to the unexpected death of Sevilla's 22-year-old player Puerta, although the European Super Cup has not been rescheduled, it is shrouded in an atmosphere of mourning.
In the La Liga where Sevilla defeated Getafe 4:1 on August 25, Puerta suddenly fainted on the court after a heart attack. After being awakened by emergency treatment, he fell into a coma after returning to the lounge. Late at night on the 27th, the 22-year-old Spanish international player who only participated in one international game was pronounced dead by the hospital.
AC Milan Club once took the initiative to make suggestions to UEFA that the European Super Cup could be rescheduled because on this day, Sevilla's grief is far more important than a game.
Sevilla expressed his gratitude to AC Milan for his kindness.
However, UEFA did not agree to a reschedule because they really couldn't find a time to reschedule this heavyweight match.
AC Milan's Italian international Pirlo expressed uneasiness about this. When he was interviewed by Sky TV, he played this game on the weekend when Puerta just passed away, which made everyone feel quite heavy.
Before the game, Puerta was silent for a minute. The players on both sides wore black sleeves and burned his name on the jersey to express their remembrance.
In the stands where Sevilla fans gathered, the fans held up banners with "Puerta, you are with us" and "Puerta, we will not forget you"; in the stands of AC Milan fans, there was a banner with "Honor to Puerta", which was given to Sevilla fans during the break.
When the players from both sides warmed up, the fans shouted Puerta's name rhythmically, and the players on the court also applauded. The whole audience was filled with a mournful and friendly atmosphere.
Some media originally expected that Zhang Yang, the "personal player" would make some exciting news before and after this heavyweight match, and they were even ready to stimulate Zhang Yang through some means. However, after the news of Puerta's death came out, everything was over. Even the most unethical media did not dare to do anything at this time, which would arouse public outrage.
Moreover, these media have forgotten one thing: Zhang Yang is not a puppet or a robot, and will not be allowed to be merciless. Zhang Yang is a flesh-and-blood person, a fellow man who falls on the court and never returns to the court again. This makes Zhang Yang feel quite uncomfortable. He feels sad.
The game is not dull, it should be said to be quite intense and the pace is very fast.
Sevilla players turn grief into strength, and they vow to work hard to comfort Puerta's spirit in heaven with a victory trophy of the UEFA Super Cup.
Sevilla's offense was very fierce and seemed to be very effective, which also allowed Sevilla fans to see hope of defeating AC Milan.
With two attacks, they almost entered the AC Milan goal. Sevilla caused great trouble for AC Milan at the beginning of this game.
In this peak showdown between the Champions League and the League Cup champion last season, Sevilla's Renato was the first to score. In the 15th minute, he received a cross from his teammates on the wing. After a beautiful header came into the net, Sevilla players gathered together and pointed their hands at the sky to comfort the undead of his former teammates.
At this time, even AC Milan fans stood up and applauded Renato who scored the goal.
Zhang Yang waited for AC Milan players to look at the night sky with tears in their eyes, and they comforted the Sevilla players who were silent and no one spoke. No one blamed Sevilla for celebrating the timeout. The referee also acquiesced all this. It was not until two minutes later that the Sevilla players shouted Puerta's name together, and they slowly returned to their respective positions on the field and waited for the start of the middle circle.
However, Sevilla's lead did not last long.
AC Milan equalized the score in the 23rd minute!
The person who scored the goal was Zhang Yang, who was assisted by Pirlo. Kaka interspersed and pulled out the gap. Zhang Yang ran flexibly, inserted into the gap, and then scored a low shot.
"Ahhh! Milan! AC Milan!! They equalized the score! In less than ten minutes, they equalized the score, the powerful AC Milan!" The Italian commentator shouted, "Oh, we saw Zhang, he ran to the stands of Seville fans, and he dedicated the goal to Puerta! What a touching scene, now, who dares to say that this young man is a bad boy!"
After Zhang Yang scored the goal, he did not celebrate the goal, but ran to the stands where the Sevilla fans at the Stadium of Louis II were, pointed to the name of Puerta on the jersey, and then stood there silently, pointing his hands towards the night sky.
All the fans of the audience, whether they were Sevilla fans or AC Milan fans, were moved by this scene. The sadness and touching atmosphere were intertwined. The sound of shouting Puerta's name sounded from the stands where Sevilla fans were. Then, the sound quickly rang throughout the stadium, making people cry.
A Sevilla player looked Zhang Yang in surprise. Obviously, thanks to media reports, in their perception, the most popular shooter in Europe is a guy with an eccentric personality, but he is not a good boy anyway.
"Thank you." Sevilla player Renato said to Zhang Yang.
"I don't know him." Zhang Yang said, "But, I believe, he loves football as much as I do."
Renato looked at Zhang Yang and said no more, but hugged Zhang Yang.
This scene became an eternal moment in the history of the European Super Cup. On this night, there was no regard for the championship or victory. This was the condolences and comfort for a young football player who unfortunately passed away.
Zhang Yang's goal was a typical AC Milan-style goal. It took only thirteen seconds to pass four feet from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and finally scored.
AC Milan used Pirlo's pass and Kaka and Zhang Yang's breakthrough speed to tear Sevilla's defense.
I have to say that AC Milan's current offense is more progressive than last season.
Because their player lineup is relatively fixed and has a high tacit understanding, there are already phenomenal Kakas. Now, Zhang Yang is fast enough and his skills are relatively comprehensive, so their offense is more sharp.
Pirlo's pass just now was like this. Sevilla's defender lost the other in Kaka and Zhang Yang's defense, which gave Zhang Yang, who is good at capturing fighter jets, the opportunity to play his speed advantage. After receiving the ball, he equalized the score calmly!
This is a successful counterattack score by AC Milan. In fact, this is also the best way of playing for the Italian team. Their counterattack pays attention to the word "fast". When the opponent's offense is strong, they crouch in the backcourt to lure the opponent to attack. Once the ball is intercepted, a sharp counterattack will be formed immediately, threatening the opponent's goal, and even succeeding with one blow.
In Serie A, AC Milan's counterattack speed may not be the fastest, but AC Milan, which has Pirlo and Kaka, is definitely a fear of any team. In addition, with Zhang Yang, who is extremely fast, their counterattack has become even sharper.
Therefore, after experiencing last season, especially after two rounds of matches with Marseille, Ancelotti had the most intuitive understanding of Zhang Yang's technical characteristics and abilities. He immediately changed his previous view and praised Zhang Yang. He even agreed with Galliani's decision to introduce Zhang Yang, because Ancelotti knew very well that with Zhang Yang, Kaka would no longer be alone. Then, AC Milan was at ease in counterattacks, whether it was an individual raid or an overall advancement, their speed could make any opponent look ahead.
The match with Genoa is just a small appetizer, and the match with last season's UEFA Cup champion Sevilla is the touchstone for Ancelotti to test the sharp cooperation between Zhang Yang and Kaka in his heart.
