The most low-key superstar

Chapter 370 Unstoppable

The home loss to Manchester United doubled the pressure on AC Milan.

There are rumors that Leonardo was summoned by the boss Silvio Berlusconi to communicate about the Champions League and Milan's future, but afterward, both of them remained silent on the matter.

However, after coming to Manchester, at a regular press conference, head coach Leonardo admitted frankly, "We had a pleasant conversation, but it has nothing to do with tomorrow's game, mainly about AC Milan. Had a constructive conversation going forward."

future?The reporters were very interested, "So, does it mean that AC Milan will rebuild? How much money will Mr. Berlusconi pay to support the team's reconstruction?"

Facing the 'concern' from the reporters, Leonardo felt bitter in his heart, 'Funds?There is not a dime. If you want funds, you must send away the players in the team. With this money, it is possible to introduce new players. '

"It's not as serious as reconstruction. AC Milan's strength has not yet reached the point where reconstruction is serious. Overall, the team is in good condition. However, for the future, maybe we will make some small adjustments. Now, my The focus is still on how to face Manchester United."

'David, welcome home! 'In Old Trafford, there were banners welcoming Beckham everywhere. This scene brought tears to Beckham's eyes. He kept waving to the fans on the sidelines and thanking them, which also made the nervous The atmosphere of the game has eased a little.

In the locker room of the home team, Coach Ferguson stood there very seriously, listening to the assistant coach Perrin making the final tactical arrangement. This detailed tactical arrangement has always been explained by the assistant coach, and the head coach, especially Ferguson. It is no longer necessary for coaches of this level to explain in person.

"Okay, I've finished telling you about today's game." After Perrin finished speaking, he looked at Ferguson. Ferguson nodded and walked slowly to the tactical board.

"I don't need to say anything about the importance of this game. I don't want to repeat past mistakes, so I don't want you to continue this mistake. Don't really think that your opponent has surrendered. If you have this idea, then, I can assure you that they will be the ones going to the next round."

Ferguson is indeed a little serious today, his thoughts seem to go back to a few years ago, a terrible defeat, and after a while, "So buck up, beat them, let the Italians know that this is Old Trafford .”

"Aww..." Although Ferguson's words were not like an orator, he also managed to arouse the emotions of the players.

The night in Manchester is different from that of many British cities. She is more modern and international. However, everything is not as good as today’s Old Trafford. The reason is simple. Today is a match day, although half of the city of people want Manchester United to lose.

More than 7 fans set off the atmosphere of the whole stadium very enthusiastically. Sometimes, Manchester City fans often ridiculed Manchester United fans for watching the game like a gentleman attending an afternoon tea. However, today, this argument is definitely not suitable for Old Trafford.

At the San Siro Stadium, [-] Manchester United fans dared to compete with [-] home team fans. Now, when they return to the home court, they don't even care about the [-] Italians from Milan.

The banner welcoming Beckham has disappeared, and now it is time to protest against the Glazer family. However, when the referee led the players from both sides into the field, the fans who were still shouting loudly just now quickly adjusted their attitude. Goal, huge cheers sounded at Old Trafford.

In the player tunnel, Beckham, who started today, just greeted his former teammates briefly. The current atmosphere is really not suitable for him to greet these enemies. The friendship has been reflected on the day AC Milan arrived in Manchester. Nicole organized a small banquet and invited Beckham to have dinner together. It was a return invitation, and Beckham did not bring other Milan players, but he was alone.

The reason why it is the Nickel organization is because, in the Manchester United team, Nickel has become the undisputed No.1.

"Attack! We have no choice! Only scoring is the only way for us to advance. This will be the most important game of this season. If we win, we can continue to pursue new glory. If we lose, this season will be considered as a goal." It's over early." These were Leonardo's last words in the locker room.

For AC Milan, the only thing they can pursue is the Champions League, and the most important thing is that every step forward means more transfer funds for next season. This is what Berlusconi means. As for the league, although The team ranks second, but it is too far away from the first-ranked Inter Milan, leaving only a theoretical possibility. It is too unrealistic to expect Inter Milan to continue to make mistakes.

The former king has now been reduced to the situation of fighting to the last stand.

Nickell chose the ball. For him, it doesn't make sense to pick a side. It's not afternoon. Don't worry about the sunshine. It's always better to kick off first.

And Manchester United's tactics are also offensive. Amidst the cheers of the fans, the two sides collided directly after the opening, and there was no temptation at all.

Seeing the entanglement between the two sides in the midfield on the field, Leonardo's heart tightened. This was a big deviation from his prediction. In his opinion, Manchester United had three away goals and was one point ahead. The ball, they can use defensive counterattacks to deal with themselves, but, no.

determination!Manchester United showed a determination to completely crush their opponents.

"Oh - oh -, I was so nervous, I forgot to introduce the lineup to the audience, first look at the home team, Van der Sar, Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, midfielder, Varen West Asia, Fletcher, Nickell, Park Ji-sung, forwards, Berbatov, Rooney."

"The main force is all out, the attack is very strong, Manchester United doesn't seem to want to defend a draw."

"No... shot—"

"Berbatov! This shot is very thoughtful, but unfortunately it was only a little short."

Perhaps it was the last game, when Nicole left too deep an impression on Leonardo, Gattuso won the starting lineup, and his task was to limit Nicole.

From the opening less than 5 minutes of the game, Gattuso has two direct dialogues with Nicole.

Once was passed by Nicole, in terms of speed, Gattuso and Nicole are simply incomparable, and the other time, Gattuso used a foul in exchange for a verbal warning from the referee, and Nicole's jersey was almost torn by him Cracked.

In this game, Ferguson paid more attention to the offense and how to defeat the opponent in the offense. Therefore, Nichols should pay more attention to the arrangement of the midfield.

In this game, Nickel should pay more attention to Beckham.

In the 8th minute, as soon as Beckham received a pass from Gattuso, Nicole used a fierce tackle to overturn Beckham to the ground, the ball was kicked out of the sideline, and Nicole patted his body Grass clippings, reaching out to Beckham, "Be careful, David, I'm not polite."

"I think so too." Beckham grinned and smiled.

Throw-in, Nickell's tackle and no foul.

"David's trip home doesn't look warm." Today, Lineker became a guest commentator, and when he saw the matchup between Nickel and Beckham, he also made fun of them.

Strictly speaking, the strength gap between the two teams is not that big. However, because of the disadvantage of AC Milan at home, their tactics are very passive now.

In order to score, they had to increase the power projection in the frontcourt.

No.15 minutes, Evra handed the ball to Park Ji-sung in front of him. Before the opponent came up, the Korean moved the ball inwards, leading Milan's defenders away. Then, with a flick of his ankle, he sent the ball to left road.

After Nicole got the ball, he used the ball as the pivot point, turned around and squeezed Gattuso to the outside, and then, Nicole rushed along the sideline.

"It's so beautiful. Nicole made a light turn and took a favorable position. Gattuso didn't take advantage of the dialogue with Nicole."

After Gattuso was thrown away by Nicole, he did not give up. He fixed his eyes on Nicole in front and chased after him closely.He decided to sabotage the attack no matter what.

At this time, the defender of Milan had already come up to meet him. Nickel did not try to dribble the ball in, but passed the ball to the center. His body did not slow down, and he bypassed the opponent and continued to move forward.

"Wonderful cooperation! Manchester United played very concisely and efficiently today."

"Damn hell!" Gattuso cursed in his heart, not daring to slow down at all, because the distance between him and Nicole was a bit far.

Fletcher in the middle passes the ball diagonally to the left half of the opponent's half.

At this moment, Nichols has completed a breakthrough on the left.

"Oh - a breakthrough, let's pay attention to Manchester United's attack!" The commentator shouted excitedly.

Nickel looked up at the situation near the penalty area, and began to adjust his feet, "Pass the ball—"

"Pretty!"

Nicole's cross was fast and flat, and the arc was good. Dida didn't dare to be careless. This distance is beyond his reach, and Milan's defenders must be careful, lest they accidentally drive into their own gate.

"GOAL! Bale.....Bar........F! Nikkor's pass, Berbatov scored with a header, the game progressed to No. 16 minutes, and Manchester United scored the first goal."

"YEAH!" The Red Devils fans jumped up from their seats, and the Old Trafford stadium was full of joy.

Nicole's pass was aimed at the Bulgarians, and Brother Xiaosha did not disappoint Nicole. He didn't need to make any adjustments, just hit the ball directly, and he didn't even need to jump up. Ta, also wanted to destroy the ball with a header, but he didn't touch the ball, so he missed it a little bit.

"The goal... scored... La! Manchester United, wonderful cooperation, wonderful pass! AC Milan is saying goodbye to this season's Champions League. Now, they must score three goals and ensure that the opponent does not Another goal. Although there is still time, we have not found that team can achieve such an impressive result at Old Trafford."

Berbatov, who hadn't scored a goal for a long time, ran to Nikkor who assisted him, and hugged him tightly, "Hahaha...Nikkor, your pass is really good, and it's so comfortable to push it up."

Nicole was also very happy, but he didn't speak, just grinning.

Compared to Ferguson who was happy like a child, AC Milan's coach Leonardo was a little frustrated. He rushed directly from his seat to the sidelines and yelled a few words to vent his dissatisfaction.

His well-prepared tactics looked so unbearable in front of the opponent's two or three players, especially this Nickle. assists.

"Don't panic, we still have time, pay attention to cooperate, cooperate!" Although he is very anxious, at this time, as a head coach, he must be calm. Once he panics, the players will be confused. Opponents have more chances.

Go back to your own half.

The Milan fans who came from afar could only watch the fans of the home team celebrating and cheering, "It's over, two goals behind, three goals, it's too difficult."

Nickel directed at his teammates, "Guys, the boss said, 1:0 is not enough, we have to continue to attack."

"Yes, give them a 3:0!" There is also the tragic 0:3 that someone remembered.
"That's right, keep scoring goals."

"It's up to me, I want to score!" Rooney yelled, it seems that he scored twice in the last game, so Rooney is still looking forward to scoring the third goal against Milan.

After the game restarted, the Milan team wanted to counterattack aggressively. However, the Manchester United team stubbornly resisted and refused to take back. The two sides still maintained a half-baked offensive and defensive situation.

Milan's main center, Borriello, has had no chance today. Manchester United's defenders have successfully defended him and almost cut him off from the midfield.

"Come on, David, I need your pass." Borriello looked at Beckham.

"Okay, I know what to do." Beckham nodded in agreement.

Next, Beckham changed his method, instead of trying to pass the midfield organization, he used his iconic pass to find Borriello in the penalty area when he saw the opportunity. This change made Manchester United's defensive pressure Immediately tense up.

"Oh--David--Beckham, his passing is still so superb, unfortunately, it doesn't belong to the Red Devils anymore, now he is the opponent."

Driven by Beckham, AC Milan's offense became more and more fierce, while Manchester United's offense began to slow down, and the opponent's ferocity was beyond ordinary.

"Milan, Milan, Milan..." AC Milan fans finally saw hope, they chanted the team's name in unison, cheering for the players.

The fans of the Red Devils were not reconciled. They quickly used their own methods to suppress the opponent's voice by singing the team song.

"This is Old Trafford!"

"It's not okay to go on like this, something will happen." Perrin couldn't sit still.

"It's okay, they won't last long, trust our boys." Ferguson didn't care.

AC Milan's offensive has gradually picked up. The offensive has been higher than the previous wave. It is completely opposite to the previous offensive balance. This is understandable. They have fallen too far behind and lost at home. If they want to continue to advance, they must Destroy the Manchester United team in front of them.

"Borriello... Borriello, great shot, Van der Sar, he blocked the opponent's shot..."

"Long shot - oh - too high, is he aiming at the stands?"

Seeing that the team's offense has improved, Leonardo has also regained his energy. He kept waving his arms on the sidelines, "Attack! Attack!"

Although Coach Ferguson didn't care about it just now, Perrin still couldn't help it. He also saw some problems, "Run up and let them experience the rhythm of the Red Devils."

What is the rhythm of the Red Devils, isn't it just fast?This old man really knows how to pull words, everyone who heard him shouted thought so.

"Did you hear that old man shouting? Run up." Nickel reminded his teammates.

The accelerated pace of the Manchester United team quickly reversed the unfavorable situation. The Premier League is almost the fastest-paced league in the world. Once the Manchester United team is running, the Italians are very uncomfortable. They are used to the slow pace. Grinding with the opponent, and then a sudden fatal blow, but now, they have to speed up their pace, because they are the one behind.

"Ow ooh..."

There was a sudden burst of cheers from the Dream Theater, which could be clearly heard far away from the stadium. It was the sound of celebration.

penalty!

"AC Milan is about to suffer another serious blow. The referee awarded a penalty kick. We have to see clearly what happened?" The Italian commentator didn't pay attention to what happened at all.

"Manchester United counterattacked, oh-a penalty! Nesta, he pulled down Nicole, yes, it was definitely a penalty, but the referee didn't draw a red card, Nesta, he is a lucky guy."

In this counterattack, Manchester United played very quickly. It started from Nicole, and after four passes, Rooney stopped the ball into the penalty area with his chest.

As long as Nicole rushes over, he will face Milan's Brazilian goalkeeper Dida, and no one can stop him.

Although the experienced Nesta tried his best to get stuck, but Nicole was too fast, the helpless Nesta had to reach out and pull down Nicole, and Nicole, who was about to pass Nesta, was unprepared , fell hard in the penalty area.

"The referee didn't draw the card, maybe it's because Nicole hasn't touched the ball yet?" The Italian side will explain.

However, the England side was unceremonious, "Maybe it is the will of the French, who knows? But fortunately, a penalty was given."

"Where is Gattuso, isn't he going to guard Nicole?"

"I've been thrown away by others a long time ago. Don't count on his speed."

"Then how can we prevent..."

"Wayne, don't you want to score? I'll leave it to you." Nickel had no interest in penalty kicks, and Rooney was not a picky eater.

"Okay, no problem, just wait and cheer for me." Rooney picked up the ball on the ground and walked towards the penalty spot.

This time, none of the Milan players complained to the referee. They knew that the referee had shown mercy, and now it was up to Dida.
