Chapter 155 Eto'o's Counterattack(1/2)
Updated: 2012-12-17
Milan fans were very grateful that they applauded Nesta's wonderful rescue, while Barcelona fans in the visiting stands of San Siro let out a huge sigh, and they shivered with regret. If this ball was entered, Barcelona's start and promotion would be too favorable, which was a pity.
The Barcelona defender Abidal, who just headed the ball to Yaya Toure, didn't even have the regret of missing a goal for his teammate, so he had to return to defense quickly.
Because Nesta not only cleared the ball, but also after he drove out of the penalty area, Ambrosini grabbed the landing point. Ambrosini flew the ball to Pirlo, and Pirlo passed the ball directly.
"Boat back - AC Milan's chance!"
Barcelona: 1-Valdez/11-Zanbrotta, 5-Puyor, 3-Milito, 22-Abidal/6-Xavi, 24-Yaya-Turé, 20-Deco/19-Messi, 9-Etoo, 8-Iniesta;
AC Milan: 12-Dida/44-Odo, 13-Nesta, 3-Maltini, 18-Yankulovsky/21-Pirlo, 8-Gattuso, 23-Ambrosini/22-Kaka, 10-Siddorf/7-Zhang Yang;
The football reached the feet of Seidorf.
Seeing Seidorf take the ball, Rijkaard frowned. In his opinion, Kaka and Zhang Yang are the most threatening people in the AC team, but the one who cannot understand the most is Seidorf. This Dutch veteran can be said to be the only player in the AC Milan team. In terms of footwork, it would be fine if it was just footwork. In addition, Seidorf's rich experience in the competition and the veteran's skill in reading the game made Rijkaard fearful.
The media once commented that Seidorf either played badly on the court or had a master-level performance. Not to mention this evaluation, assuming that Seidorf was in good condition today, Rijkald had to worry about his team. Because this old monster often had a stroke of magic.
During the tactical arrangement before the game, Rijkaard also specifically reminded his players to be careful of Seedorf.
So, after seeing Seidorf get the ball, the Barcelona players on the court naturally began to get nervous. Zanbrotta stared at the football under his feet and refused to play first. He often played against AC Milan when he was at Juventus, and he knew very well about Seidorf's strength, so he was very cautious.
Rijkaard chose Zambrota to start today, which fully considers that Zambrota has played for many years at Juventus, is familiar with Serie A team and is even more familiar with his old rival AC Milan.
So, in a sense, Zambrota has not been in good condition in Barcelona recently. He is really grateful to AC Milan for being favored by Rijkaard in such a key game.
Sidorf's upper body suddenly shook. Zanbrotta thought he was going to break through, so he quickly leaned back his real body and prepared to intercept it. Unexpectedly, Sidorf just made a fake move. After a fake shot, the Dutch veteran calmly passed the football to Kaka who was inserted on the side.
Zambrota, who was teased by his old opponent Seedorf, didn't even have time to resent. He turned around and ran into the penalty area. Seedorf was very dangerous, and Kaka was even more dangerous.
Kaka's high-speed dribble and a sudden inward cut shot have almost become Kaka's signature.
Kaka must not be allowed to cut in calmly or have a chance to shoot, so Zanbrotta thinks.
When Zhang Yang saw Seedorf take the ball, he began to swim in front of the goal and was ready to sprint at any time.
After seeing Kaka catch the ball, Zhang Yang immediately began to sprint towards the goal.
Puyor's attention was always on Zhang Yang. When he saw him running towards the door, he immediately followed closely. Puyor knew that Zhang Yang was very fast, so he had to follow closely and not give Zhang Yang room to accelerate. Otherwise, Puyor knew that he could not stop Zhang Yang. Even Puyor at his peak was not a strong point in speed.
Seeing Zambrota coming up, Kaka immediately passed the ball to Ambrosini and ran forward by himself.
Ambrosini passed the ball to Sedorf, and Sedorf passed the ball again, and the ball hit Kaka's feet again.
AC Milan's small pass made Zambrota exhausted and he was broken through.
Seeing Zambrota being left behind by Kaka, Barcelona central defender Milito hurried up to intercept.
Seeing Milito coming up, Kaka suddenly accelerated and dribbled the ball. Relying on his own speed, he tore a gap from Milito who was rushing to snatch it up. Then he did not choose to cut in, but directly made a cross!
AC Milan's continuous and fast passes and Kaka's breakthrough once again won the home team AC Milan's cheers in the stands.
"Kaka-He crossed!"
After seeing Kaka's cross, Puyor turned around to find Zhang Yang, but after he quickly swept his eyes into the crowd, he did not find any trace of Zhang Yang! This discovery immediately made him sweat on his back!
What about the banter?
But where is he?!
Where is the only striker in AC Milan?!
"Zhang Yang!" the commentator suddenly shouted excitedly.
Shortly after the game started, Zhang Yang saw Puyol staying away from him, so he certainly guessed that Puyol would be the defender who was specifically responsible for marking him, so he was thinking about how to get rid of Puyol.
Although Zhang Yang has never fought with Barcelona or played a duel with Puyol, this does not prevent him from analyzing and thinking by himself. This is also a necessary skill as an excellent star.
‘Puyer is relatively old. The old guard of this age must have a very average turn speed.’ Zhang Yang immediately made a judgment.
So, just now, he was circling in the penalty area and suddenly accelerated to the left. When he attracted Puyor to accelerate, he stopped suddenly and turned around!
Pounce to the other side!
"Oh! Zhang Yang - he caught the ball - broke through!"
"Damn it! Stop him!" Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes shouted loudly, his voice sounded like a woman screaming, and seemed to be very scared in his heart.
Abidal, who had just completed a beautiful header in his corner kick tactics, finally made up for defense.
From AC Milan's penalty area, he ran back to his own penalty area. Abidal, who was exhausted and panting, saw Puyor being deceived by Zhang Yang's running position. His goal was in crisis. He shoveled down to Zhang Yang without hesitation.
"Idiot!" Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes killed Abidal. In his eyes, Abidal's behavior of directly tackled was too rash. This rash ghost. What if the Chinese shooter fell to the ground and cheated on a penalty kick?
What Valdes didn't expect was that Zhang Yang had no intention of cheating the penalty kick at all. He pushed the ball out with his right foot and then jumped up. Although he was clumsy, he effectively dodged the slide shovel, and then he swung his feet and hit it.
Seeing Zhang Yang's shot, Valdes immediately flew to save the ball.
However, Zhang Yang's shot was very tricky at the angle, and the ball had a curve in the air. Valdes thought he could catch the ball, but he didn't expect that when the ball was about to reach his right hand, he chose to go outward, skipped past his hand, and continued to fly. Valdes, who had already been in the air, could only turn his head helplessly and look at the football flying towards the goal, helpless.
A bang!
The football hit the post, hit the inside of the post, and then bounced into the net.
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaal!”
“zhang—goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaal!”
"Zhang Yang - his shot - the ball - in! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In! In!”
“yes!gooooooooooooooooooaaaaal!!!”
"Zhang Yang!! AC Milan scored a goal! This is a very important goal!"
"One to zero! In the third minute of the game, AC Milan scored a goal! The goal was Zhang Yang!"
"Zhang Yang! He scored! This is his 11th goal in the 2007/2008 Champions League!"
After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang raised his right arm hard towards the sky, and his right arm was the center, and his teammates rushed towards him!
The stands at San Siro Stadium had already exploded and huge cheers sounded.
The entire court was cheering for the surname zhang.
"It's really damn!" Rijcard made a swearing on the sidelines. The concealment of the ball came too fast. According to Rijcard's original plan, AC Milan might attack hard at the beginning. Barcelona only needs to withstand this wave of offensive, and then put pressure on AC Milan's goal to win the first goal and take the initiative. Then, there is hope for this game to be won.
He didn't expect that the team would concede the ball so early.
The Barcelona players on the field also seemed very frustrated. Abidal held his head in his hands and looked at the football inside the net.
Puyol was also a little lost. He had to be responsible for the loss of the ball.
In the frontcourt, Messi did not see Zhang Yang's goal process just now. At this time, the Argentine looked up at the big screen and was replaying the scene of Zhang Yang's goal. He noticed that Zhang Yang's ghostly running position made Puyol fool, and then he avoided Abidal's slippery tackle. The subsequent shot also scored high-quality, bypassing the defense range of Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes and hit the inside of the post to enter the net.
The entire goal process, whether it is running, getting rid of it, or the final fatal blow, is impeccable!
What a terrible shooter!
Messi glanced at Zhang Yang. The chest of this small Argentine player China also burned with endless fighting spirit.
I won't lose to him!
Rijkald took advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball and shouted Puyol on the sidelines. He told his team's captain, "Don't panic, the game has just begun. It's better to concede the ball at this time than to concede the ball at the last moment!"
Puyol nodded. Although the coach said this, it was a comforting moment, but it was not unreasonable.
"Let Yaya return to defense more and restrain Zhang Yang." Rijkaard continued.
Puyol nodded abruptly. He knew that this was Rijkald's question about whether he could defend Zhang Yang alone. So, let Yaya Toure sacrifice his offense to help him defend.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, after the first fight with Zhang Yang just now, Puyol had to admit that it was really difficult, even impossible, to defend Zhang Yang by himself. He really needed a helper.
Zhang Yang was very happy. He knew that his goal was very important to the whole team and how important the goal that broke the deadlock was.
When Zhang Yang walked towards the middle circle, he glanced at Messi, but saw the man looking at him, and Zhang Yang muttered.
"What did you say?" Kaka asked.
"Nothing." Zhang Yang shook his head. In fact, what he had just muttered was, "Little Dwarf, what are you looking at? I'm not a ki. I'm staring at me."
Well, if Messi heard Zhang Yang say this, he would probably not have gone up to fight hard even if he has a good temper.
However, after the game started again, Zhang Yang began to feel that he was not as relaxed as before.
Barcelona stepped up their guard against him.
A attack from AC Milan, Gatuso passed the ball to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang leaned against Yaya Toure, who was defending him, intending to fight for the top. Yaya Toure only felt that it was not a person who was leaning on him, but a wall that he could not push. This shocked Yaya Toure. Zhang Yang did not look like a very strong muscular man, how could he be so strong? Of course, this is not the time when he was discussing the reason for Zhang Yang's physical strength. He had to complete the task of keeping Zhang Yang in sight assigned to him by the head coach.
Zhang Yang's judgment on the landing of the ball made Zhang Yang take the lead again when he was grabbing the point. Zhang Yang had already jumped up, but he was still in the same place. He was already behind, and he would definitely not be able to compete for the top. But he must not let him go like this!
Yaya Toure immediately used a bad move, and his body fell backwards, pretending to be squeezed down by Zhang Yang. At the same time, he reached out and pulled Zhang Yang in the air in a concealed manner.
Zhang Yang was about to hit the ball, but his waist and abdomen were exerting force, but the center of gravity suddenly lost all and fell directly from the air.
The referee's whistle sounded and ran to the scene. Judging from his gesture, Barcelona was sentenced to a foul.
Puyol came up to pull Kiaya Toure, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Good job!" This was a tactical foul. If Zhang Yang successfully hit the ball, he could ferry Kaka, because there was a large space behind him, and Kaka could sprint, which was extremely dangerous.
Yaya Toure's foul was very timely at this time, and the location of the foul was just right.
Zhang Yang was so angry.
