There is a dream called football

Chapter 246 Indistinguishable
The first half of extra time was uneventful, and both sides seemed to have lost their spirits, especially Liverpool.

"This game looks like it's going to a penalty shootout." The commentator laughed.

However, at the last moment of the first half of overtime, Pirlo remembered some words that the coach had just said to himself.

That was the surprise attack in the short period before the end of the first half.

Ancelotti's psychological research on football players is very thorough. Generally, before the first half-time break, the player's mentality is the most relaxed. It is easy to understand when you think about it. This is like the time before the winter vacation when you least want to study.

According to statistics, this time is indeed a time when more goals are conceded, especially for the relatively weaker side.

Pirlo pointed to Kaka, who immediately understood and started to run, and it was this small movement that Gerrard discovered.

"Going to do it?"

Of course, Gerrard couldn't yell at his teammates, but followed Kaka himself, which was a signal.

Pirlo noticed that Kaka was surrounded by someone, but he still passed the ball.

Because Kaka's teammates fully trust Kaka's ability to hold the ball, Kaka pays attention to half-turning and slowing down before taking the ball, so it is impossible for Gerrard to break the ball at Kaka's feet the first time.

"Damn."

This kind of expert holds the ball as if the ball is sticking to his feet, which makes the defensive side particularly headache.

"give me."

Seedorf immediately responded to Kaka, and the Brazilian passed the ball. In this way, Gerrard did nothing during the whole process.

"Damn."

Seedorf forced a pass from the bottom and kicked it to the center of the penalty area. Everyone thought Shevchenko was going to head the goal, but what he didn't expect was that the Ukrainian headed back to the front of the penalty area.

who is where
As the eyes turned, everyone saw that this person was Kaka.

Seeing him fly up and draw the ball towards Dudek, the Liverpool people began to worry again. Everyone knows how powerful Kaka is at this time.

Dudek jumped up, then punched the ball out of the box.

The ball missed.

However, AC Milan's attack was completely successful, and it was still so subtle. It was their superstar Kaka who finally completed the shot.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 4 to 4. According to the rules, there is no rest at the end of the first half of overtime.

The players are drinking water, and Benitez is doing the final agitation, "You all know what to do, right?"

"That's the defensive counterattack. We can take a penalty kick, but we can't attack the opponent because the opponent wants to solve the problem as soon as possible, but we can't."

Benitez is right.

Ancelotti really thought so, he was not willing to kick a penalty, he felt that one of his victories had been stolen.

"This was originally our victory. We got this result carelessly in the second half, so we can't be careless anymore, understand?"

"Ok!"

"Attack, we're going to attack."

*****
At the beginning of the second half, the situation changed completely. Liverpool became an Italian team and began to play defensive counterattacks, while the opponent became an English team that advocated offense.

AC Milan launched a tidal wave of attacks. They wanted to defeat Liverpool within 120 minutes and get back the victory that belonged to them.

"This is our victory."

The fulcrum of the attack is still Kaka, but there are many branches.

Shevchenko.

Crespo.

Seedorf.

Pirlo.

It can be said that the five players in AC Milan's frontcourt are all the type who can shoot independently and solve the game by themselves.

So it is conceivable that Dudek was under pressure.

And 10 minutes later, in the last 5 minutes, Ancelotti became more ruthless. He replaced Rui Costa and replaced Gattuso.

"It seems that the Italians are ready to solve the problem at the last moment, they don't want to go to a penalty shootout."

But at this moment, there was a problem with AC Milan's defense. A steal from Liverpool went directly to Li Qiao's feet. He half-turned to protect the ball, making the opponent think that Li Qiao was waiting for his teammates to come up, but unexpectedly Li Qiao turned around suddenly and completed the dribble.

"My God."

Li Qiao passed.

It was like a small cut in the ribs, AC Milan ran back like crazy, Ancelotti was in a cold sweat.

"Could it be that I bet too much?"

Li Qiao continued to run forward, he could shoot, but at this time, Gerrard was caught up in the middle of the corner of the eye.

"Shoot." Benitez shouted in his heart.

Li Qiao glanced at the goal and passed the ball to Gerrard in the middle.

"Lore?"

All the fans held their breaths. Li Qiao passed the ball a bit too big. Gerrard finally flew out, but he didn't touch the ball.

……

……

"Why don't you shoot the goal yourself." Benitez shouted thousands of times in his heart.

"This would have killed it."

Gerrard sat on the ground and stretched his thigh, then took Li Qiao's extended hand, "You should actually shoot. If you can't score, I will make up the shot."

"Hehe, it should be like this, but I saw that your seat is better, so..."

"There's no need to argue." Gerald smiled wryly.

The game at the last moment was very stalemate, and both sides were as cautious as frightened animals.

Mourinho laughed: "The penalty shootout is inevitable."

"Father, who do you think will win?"

"Maybe Liverpool."

In fact, Mourinho is optimistic about Liverpool in his heart, but he is just stubborn, because the penalty shootout is all about mentality, and now Liverpool is on the side with a better mentality.

"Daddy, what would happen if your Chelsea made it to the final?"

"Haha, then there is no need for extra time, I have won the Champions League now, just like last year."

"Ha ha."

The referee blew three long whistles, and the game ended without suspense. The game entered the cruelest penalty shootout, but the AC Milan players seemed to have lost the game. You must know that they are leading by 4 goals.

Ancelotti knows that this kind of emotion is very bad, and he must help everyone overcome it.

"Okay, the penalty shootout is the restart, there is no need to think about what happened in the game, now we start the Champions League final again.

It is true to say so, and this is indeed the same starting line, but this is not what the players think in their hearts.

Everyone knows that AC Milan missed too many opportunities to kill the game.
