ball at foot

"This is Istanbul..." When Zhang Jun looked at the stadium, although he wanted to show some restraint, he couldn't help admiring.

"This is the Ataturk Olympic Stadium. Istanbul is the name of the city, not the name of the stadium." Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "The game is still a few days away, don't worry."

"He just thought of seeing Shevchenko alive, and he's happy." Li Ke said aside, exposing his buddy mercilessly, "Look at that stupid, Ningzi like you dare not say I know you, but I think you are too shameful. And your ticket is in the stands of Liverpool, that virtue, be careful to throw it away."

"Don't think I'm like you. After Ningzi moved to Liverpool, that one looked unhappy." Zhang Jun rolled his eyes at him, "Don't you support Milan in this match?"

"When it comes to the Champions League, I support the Premier League team." Li Ke replied lightly, "Liverpool earning points is also a benefit of the Premier League. Ferguson can congratulate them for reaching the final. What can I say?" [

"I'm different from you. I don't support Milan anywhere. As long as it's the top three in the north, I don't support it." Zhang Jun said.

"Okay, no matter what, we all support Liverpool to win." Zhang Yuan patted them.

"I would like to ask, why didn't that girl, Beibei, come with us?" Zhang Jun remembered something, "Why did she go?"

"Beibei and Ningzi's cheap wife and son are together. The little baby wants grandparents. Beibei can't hide and show up?" Speaking of which, even if they are all Zhao Yaning’s classmates, buddies, but the agent has to keep the secrets for the stars.

Zhang Yuan chatted with the two of them calmly, and the topic quickly turned back to the Champions League match.

"People say that this time Liverpool will definitely win." Zhang Jun said, "20 years ago, in 84, the last time Liverpool won the Champions League in Rome. That year, the Pope died. This year, the Pope also died. .That year, Prince Charles got married. This year, this old thing got married again. That year, Liverpool won the championship..."

"There are too many connections like this. In what year haven't you made any messes? This kind of broken news has no reference value." Li Ke waved his hand, "Brother Zhang, if you want to talk about football, you know it better than us. Say, who wins?"

Zhang Yuan didn't speak, he was also thinking about this year's Champions League.

It's been an incredible year.

It's not been a good year for Liverpool.With a new coach, many injuries, core changes, and various problems, the third place in the league is unexpected. Zhang Yuan did not expect it here.

When playing Juventus, Zhang Yuan decided that he must lose - how could Juventus win if they are so strong?But who knows, Liverpool scored two goals in 10 minutes, double play in two rounds, all kinds of suppression, played Juventus without temper.

It was at that time that Zhang Yuan felt a little shaken and doubtful about Liverpool's performance: what step can they achieve?

In the game against Chelsea, Zhang Yuan felt that Chelsea's defeat was much more normal.Although in terms of strength, Chelsea is indeed very strong, but in the match between Liverpool and Chelsea, Zhang Yuan had a strange feeling: Liverpool can win.This team has a strange temperament, when they face a strong opponent, they always seem to be intimidated.

But now, in Istanbul, Zhang Yuan did not dare to draw conclusions about who wins and who loses.

Milan is very strong, ridiculously strong, but will Liverpool lose?Zhang Yuan always felt that he didn't dare to believe it.

Things like strength and weakness are indeed very important, but I don’t know why, when Zhang Yuan is getting more and more, all he thinks of is one sentence: football is round, and anything can happen.

If it was four years ago, before going abroad, someone told him that he knew a Ballon d'Or-level player, he would call that person stupid.Three years ago, before Zhao Yaning transferred to Monaco, someone told him that Zhao Yaning could become a player at the Golden Globe level, and he would pat that person to thank him for his blessing, but he just smiled.Two years ago, when Zhao Yaning won the Ligue [-] championship, he began to be proud of having such a person in China, but he dared not think of higher things.A year ago, at that time, the talk of Zhao Yaning winning the golden ball was very popular. At that time, Zhang Yuan was also not reconciled to Zhao Yaning’s failure to get the golden ball. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But now, he has long since let go of this problem-now Zhao Yaning, in his opinion, is a player at the level of Mr. Footballer.It may not be as good as Ronaldinho and Qi Zubi, but Kaka, Lampard, Scholes, Riquelme, Aimar, Rui Costa... these names count as one, who is stronger than Zhao Yaning?

Last year's Monaco could be said to be God's will. This year's Liverpool suffered endless injuries and stoppages for a season, but in the end, they rushed to the third place in the league and the Champions League final. This performance is definitely a world-class star. [

In the past, Zhang Yuan always liked to ignore Zhao Yaning, and then consider the strength of his teammates, and then compare them with each other.But now, including Zhao Yaning, Liverpool is definitely not weak.

They are a team to look forward to.

"I think it's enough for us to support Liverpool." Zhang Yuan didn't express his opinion. He didn't expect to be laughed at. Their source of strength is gone. Believe in them, they can do their best."

"The 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League final is about to begin, and now both teams have entered the final venue. Liverpool and Milan both finished last in the UEFA Champions League. Now, they meet here." Martin Taylor looked at the entrance of both sides, and was also slightly excited, "This is the first time Liverpool has stepped onto the stage of the Champions League final after 84 years since they lost to Juventus in the 85-20 season. And in these 20 years Here, only Manchester United has ever stepped into the final once, and that time, Manchester United won. Now, after 20 years, Liverpool once again set foot on the final, let us see what the result of this game will be how."

"In this game, Milan wears white and Liverpool wears red. Milan's starting lineup, goalkeeper Dida, back line is Maldini, Nesta, Stam, Cafu, midfielder is Pirlo, Gattuso , Seedorf, Kaka, Shevchenko and Crespo on the forward line. On the substitute list, they are Thomason, Serginho, Rui Costa, Costacurta, Ambu Rossini, Abbiati, Caladze. It's amazing that Inzaghi was in the stands and not in the squad."

"Liverpool's starting lineup is goalkeeper Dudek, back line Riise, Carragher, Hyypia, Finnan, midfielder Gerrard and Alonso, Kewell, Zhao Yaning, Luis Garcia. Three attacking midfielders, Milito as the center. On the bench, Liverpool's list is: Hamann, Smicer, Baros, Traore, Carson, Biscayne, Nunes. It seems that Liverpool's lineup It’s much worse than Milan, whether it’s the starting lineup or the substitute, they don’t seem to be at the same level…”

"I hope Benitez can use his mind to give Liverpool some advantages. However, there is a big gap between Benitez and Ancelotti. Although he has also won La Liga and UEFA Cup, Anche After all, Lottie is a coach at the Champions League level, and he won the Champions League two years ago."

While the two were still chattering about the lineup, the players on both sides were already preparing to kick off.

Ancelotti's expected lineup before the game was correct, which raised Milan's momentum a lot. At the beginning of the game, Kaka launched an impact towards the backcourt after receiving the ball.

Sure enough, Milan was really strong. At the beginning, what they wanted was to master the offensive.But Liverpool would not allow them to be so rampant. Riise directly fouled Kaka and knocked him down.

The referee gave Riise a warning, but did not draw the card, but at this time, free kicks are always inevitable.

"After the opening, Milan's first attack was interrupted by Liverpool. It seems that Liverpool is full of momentum and will not lose to Milan. Now Milan has a free kick. Let's see how Milan handles it."

Although Milan is a Serie A team like Juventus, their headers have never been a disadvantage.Stam, Nesta, Shevchenko, Crespo, they all have high points.And it is precisely because of this that Liverpool quickly began to deploy defenses in the penalty area.

Milan has Sheva in the front, Crespo in the back, and Stam in the middle. This configuration is luxurious wherever it is placed.And Pirlo at the free kick point is enough to be called a master of free kicks.

Kickoff, pass!

Unsurprisingly, the ball was a pass, and Milan had enough high-altitude advantage that they didn't have to give up the header and hit the goal directly.And the position of this ball flew directly to the position behind the penalty spot.Stam, who was still there just now, rushed forward at the moment of serving, causing Liverpool's defense to shrink involuntarily, which made a vacuum appear at the point where the ball landed. At this time, Maldini Just ran there.

Lift your foot and shoot!

Maldini's volley shot met the flying ball. The ball hit the ground, jumped high, and flew into the net before Dudek could react!

"gooool!!!!!! Paolo Maldini!!!!!! Less than 1 minute into the game, Milan scored a goal from their old captain!!!!!! Milan took the lead, the situation was unexpected Good luck! Liverpool are behind, now they are going to be in trouble!"
