The strongest winger

Chapter 500 Refraction into the Net
Ancelotti chewed gum and looked at the place of the foul, frowning, not far from the goal, and the penalty area line was a little bit forward, but fortunately, the free kick master Aiello in the Valencia team did not score at such a close range.

But with Ai Luo's run-up, Ancelotti felt a little nervousness in his heart, or fear.

So he peeked at the big screen in the stadium. The game time was only 13 minutes, which was long before the backup plans he had prepared before the game.

David Silva and Ballack ran over the football one after another, but they didn't hit the football, so AC Milan's five-person wall immediately became tense. When Ai Luo's left foot stepped on the left back of the football, the five-person wall subconsciously jumped up.

The so-called deciduous ball is to fly to the highest point first, and then suddenly fall. In order to kill the deciduous ball in the cradle, AC Milan's five-person wall jumped up desperately, especially Kaka and Inzaghi, because they are already the tallest in the team.

But at this moment, no one noticed that Albiol, who was squeezed in the middle of the human wall, would suddenly get out of the way, and the football shot by Ai Luo just flew towards the gap in the dodged human wall.

The AC Milan fans behind the goal subconsciously opened their mouths and stared at the boss.

Goalkeeper Dida was also disturbed by Albiol who suddenly flashed through the wall, so he was a little slow to react to the football flying from the gap in the wall. It was too late when he subconsciously wanted to make a save.

bang-
The sound of the football hitting the crossbar resounded through the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

Immediately, the AC Milan fans present collectively gasped, it's time to be so lucky!

※※※

FUCK!

Watching the football hit the crossbar and then fly out of the bottom line, Ai Luo didn't act calmly like the opening scene. Instead, he looked up to the sky and sighed, with his arms raised naturally, obviously very unhappy that the goal was not scored!

"Goal post again!!" Andy Gray exclaimed in disbelief: "My God, at this moment, should I say Valencia's bad luck or AC Milan's good luck? In less than 15 minutes, Ai's two must-go goals were rejected by the goal post!"

"Mierda!!" Flores kicked the water bottle in front of him away, and vented his dissatisfaction with the national curse in Spanish.

The goalposts of this stadium are so fucking disrespectful!

Of course, at this moment, I don’t know how many supporters of Valencia and Aiello are insulting the goalposts of the Olympic Stadium in Athens in their own way.

The on-site director reacted quickly, and immediately gave a slow-motion replay just now.

Ai Luo's direct free kick 23 meters away from the goal can easily be seen from the slow-motion playback. The football did not rotate in the air, and it flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Even the goalkeeper Dida gave up the save. The football hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. It is a pity.

"Ai, your luck is really bad!" In the process of running back, David Silva specially ran over and smiled at Ai Luo.

For this kind of bad friend and comrade-in-arms, Ai Luo could only raise his middle finger silently.

The game continued, and Aiello had two shots that directly threatened the goal in less than 15 minutes. AC Milan's defenders strengthened his defense.

In the 20 minutes of the first half, AC Milan's offense began to slowly improve. Kaka's speed and Seedorf's running position still made Valencia's defensive system a little uncomfortable. Coupled with Pirlo's scheduling in the middle and back, he also grasped the rhythm very well when switching from defense to offense. Unless there is a very good opportunity, basically they will not take long passes.

Therefore, with the passage of time in the game, AC Milan's ball possession rate has changed from [-]-[-] at the beginning of the game to the current [-]-[-]. If they continue to play like this, it is not impossible to tie the ball possession ratio.

※※※

Although Flores' on-the-spot adaptability needs to be improved, his ability to read the game is very good, so he quickly discovered the problem. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he made a downward movement of both hands at Albelda, indicating that the team's offensive rhythm should be slowed down.

The slow pace of the game is also in line with AC Milan's taste. After all, apart from Kaka and Pirlo, the remaining nine starters in their team are more or less over 9 years old, full of stars.

However, it is such a group of veterans over 30 years old who used their valuable experience to bring Mesozoic stars Kaka and Pirlo to the Champions League final this season. The veterans should not be underestimated.

No, in the 26th minute of the game, AC Milan organized a very threatening attack.

Pirlo suddenly made a long pass from the backcourt to Kaka on the left. The change in rhythm made him used to AC Milan's slow pace when he switched from defense to offense. Valencia's defenders reacted a bit slowly, and Kaka was a very fast offensive scoring midfielder, which immediately attracted the attention of Moretti and Baraja.

Kaka's combination of fast and slow rhythm changes when dribbling the ball in a straight line makes Baraja and Moretti lag behind Kaka in efficiency when they are stagnant and moving. Therefore, Kaka cuts the ball into the penalty area very calmly, and suddenly passes an inverted triangle pass when approaching the edge of the penalty area.

Seedorf, who was running erratically, suddenly appeared on the passing route and shot the ball from a long distance. Fortunately, the goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei focused his attention and blocked the ball out of the baseline with a single palm.

But Wang Xiaolei was very annoyed by allowing Seedorf to get a chance to shoot without being marked. Regardless of the seniority of every player in the team, he pointed his hands at his eyes and roared loudly: "Stay in position, stay in position! Concentrate on me!!"

Everyone knew Wang Xiaolei's style, but he didn't blame the person, so he didn't blame him. Baraja and Albiol, who knew that they were out of position, waved their hands to show that they understood.

After this threatening attack, Valencia's defensive attention became more concentrated, and there were no previous mistakes.

※※※

Another 10 minutes passed in the calm of the game. During these 10 minutes, both sides put their strength in the midfield. Valencia's frontcourt trio basically seldom participated in the defense, so the first defensive task in the midfield was handed over to Ballack and Albelda.

Therefore, the two sides started a battle of wits and courage in the midfield. The number of people in the midfield was dense, so to avoid the opponent stealing the ball and counterattacking, basically they would choose to pass the ball forward when encountering a pinch.

In this case, the game has passed another 5 minutes, that is, it is almost the end of the game.

This period of time is like a year for neutral fans, so the live director also caught a few neutral uncle fans dozing off while watching the game.

In the 43rd minute of the game, the football on the field was still flying around in the air.

Some fans thought that no goals would be scored during this period, so they chose to leave their seats and go to the periphery of the stadium to buy some burgers and Coke to fill their stomachs.

But at this moment, AC Milan organized an attack, but to be precise, Baraja stopped the ball in the backcourt a little far away from his body, and Inzaghi behind him took the lead to poke the ball back to Ambrosini, and he also kicked Inzaghi's foot in his haste to clear the siege.

Seeing that the attacking side is in favor, the referee drew with both arms to signal the continuation of the game.

Ambrosini did not stop the ball to observe, but chose to send the ball forward directly with the arch of his right foot. The football passed between Ballack and Albelda, passed to Pirlo, and then Pirlo gave the ball to Seedorf on the left.

Since this was a mistake made by Valencia's backcourt, Seedorf, who was holding the ball, had no one to interfere at this time. He could calmly raise his head to find someone, and in the far end, Inzaghi inserted at high speed, so he directly kicked a long pass.

However, this cross did not pass the high point of Albiol, and the football was pushed forward, but at this time an accident appeared, and Kaka appeared ghostly at the second landing point of the football.

Seeing that Kaka was about to take the ball and take a long-range shot at the center of the arc outside the penalty area, Albelda spotted Kaka's waving route and wanted to steal the ball, but Kaka's reaction was faster, and he avoided Albelda's steal with a poke of his toe, and he had no time to stop, and Kaka was kicked to the ground by him.

"David Albelda's foul is a bit irrational. The free kick in this position is very dangerous!" Andy Gray exclaimed.

"Yes, this position is too dangerous!"

Flores on the sidelines also felt a bit of danger, especially after Aiello hit the crossbar with a free kick before.

Therefore, when the human wall was arranged, Wang Xiaolei was also very nervous, and formed a human wall of five people.

Looking at Inzaghi stuck next to Albelda, Ai Luo felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, the referee blew his whistle.

Aiello plays a protective role in the crowd in the defense of set kicks, and he is not needed for the human wall.

However, as Pirlo got closer to football, Ai Luo became more and more ominous. This made him suddenly remember that he watched the live broadcast of the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League final, and sporadically remembered that Pirlo’s free kick from the front of the penalty area hit Inzaghi and refracted into the net, so he shouted at the captain Albelda: "Pay attention to Inzaghi!"

But it was too late, because Pirlo's free kick came out, it was powerful, the ball flew over the far right of the wall, and then the forward Inzaghi looked back, the ball just hit him in the chest and changed direction.

Wang Xiaolei saw the direction of the ball clearly, and his center of gravity had fallen to the left side of his body, but the football suddenly hit Inzaghi's chest and changed direction, and the football flew to the position where Wang Xiaolei was standing just now.

Ai Luo, who prevented Pirlo from passing the ball at the far end of the goal, was stunned because... the football was refracted into the net.

PS: Ask for a ticket!
