I Want to Be the King of Football

Friends in the audience in front of the TV, welcome to the 2004-2005 season, the final of the UEFA Champions League!

This is Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

The two teams against tonight are star-studded, AC Milan from Serie A and Barcelona from La Liga.

Both teams are among the top giants in world football today.

AC Milan participated in the Champions League final for the tenth time and won six titles. Barcelona participated in the Champions League final for the fifth time and only won the Champions League once in the past.

It can be said that both teams are European giants, but in terms of experience in the Champions League final, AC Milan is better.

It is worth mentioning that the last time Barcelona reached the Champions League final was in Athens in 1994, and the opponent at that time was AC Milan, when Capello's Rossoneri defeated Crewe 4-0. Yves' Dream Team.

Since then, Barcelona has fallen into a slump, failing to return to the Champions League final stage for 11 years.

It was AC Milan, who just two years ago at Old Trafford in Manchester, defeated Juventus and won the Champions League with the final penalty shootout, so Ancelotti repeatedly emphasized before the game. , they have a lot of experience in the Champions League final, they are not even afraid of a penalty shootout.

...

The Turkish side specially prepared a compact and wonderful large-scale song and dance performance.

But tonight's protagonist is still the St. Berard Cup, and the two teams participating.

From the live broadcast, we can see that the players of both teams have appeared in the player tunnel, ready to play at any time.

AC Milan is wearing a white jersey, which is their favorite jersey color in the Champions League final, because when wearing this jersey, they all won the championship, so they are very happy.

Barcelona is wearing their home shirt.

Now, we have the starting lineup for both teams.

Introduce AC Milan first.

The goalkeeper is Dida, the back line is Maltinho, Nesta, Stam and Cafu, this should be the top defense in world football today, and Cafu said before the game, AC Milan It's going to be a win, because as long as he wins this game, Cafu has a career grand slam.

The midfield is Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso, the Brazilian teenager Kaka is in front, and the two forwards are Shevchenko and Crespo.

This is Ancelotti, the coach of AC Milan.

Ancelotti said before the game that he wanted to score Barcelona's goal in three minutes. Now we are all looking forward to it. We want to know if he has really prepared enough and can really score in three minutes. Barcelona goal?

The starting lineup here at Barcelona is the traditional four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Valdes, the back line is Van Bronckhorst, Oleg, Puyol and Belletti, the midfielder is Marcos, Deco and Xavi are in the middle, the front three is Ronaldo A combination of Erdinho, Sudong and Giuli.

It is not difficult to see from Rijkaard's lineup that in such an important final, he still focused on stability, and Iniesta, who had a high voice before the game, did not appear in the starting lineup. Instead, sit on the bench.

In addition, Edmilson, who came back from injury, also did not play. Obviously, Rijkaard is not at ease with them.

After all, this is the Champions League final!

The players of the two teams shook hands with each other and went to the sidelines to take pictures of themselves.

The game is about to start, and the captains of the two teams, Puyol and Maldini, went to take a guess.

We saw that Puyol took the lead and got the right to serve.

Barcelona also obviously want the ball, they like to have the ball.

…………

…………

When Puyol guessed the right to serve and walked back,

He waved his fist towards his teammates, and at the same time greeted everyone, forming a circle.

Competing for the right to serve is definitely good news for Barcelona, ​​who is good at ball control.

After the opening, we have to stabilize the rhythm, calm down, consume slowly with the opponent first, don't worry, we will work harder after we are familiar with the rhythm and pressure of the game, understand? Puyol asked loudly.

Understood! The players answered in unison.

Come on, let's call one!

After speaking, Puyol stretched out his hand.

The Barcelona players also stretched out their hands one after another, got together with Puyol, and shouted one, two, three, Come on!

...

The two teams each retreated to the half-court, posing a battle.

Su Dong and Jiuri stood in the middle circle and were ready to serve.

Everyone on both sides of the enemy is like a big enemy, and no one dares to be careless.

Sudong was actually worried about the opening because Barcelona's defense, especially the opening defense, was always bad.

Against Bayern and against Chelsea, almost all of them conceded goals in the first ten minutes or so.

This time Ancelotti shouted before the game that it would take three minutes to break the goal, which is definitely an exaggeration, but it is also a kind of psychological warfare.

More importantly, Barcelona's back line is really not good.

Rijkaard explained to the players before the game that Edmilson was not in ideal form in the game against Villarreal, so he rashly let him play in the final, and it might even be counterproductive, so Oleg continued to start .

It's not that Rijkaard doesn't want to change it, it's that no one can change it!

Wait a while, let's run more, grab more, and put more pressure on their back line. Su Dong said to Jiuli.

The French winger also kept nodding, apparently not having much trust in the fragile back line.

Su Dong turned his head to look at AC Milan's half, Shevchenko and Crespo stood on both sides of the middle circle, and Su Dong was directly opposite Kaka. The Brazilian teenager has played quite a lot in AC Milan this season. Yes, when I saw Su Dong, I grinned and nodded with a smile, feeling very sunny.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face, although Su Dong really wanted to beat this guy out of the game, but at this moment he can only nod and smile.

...

With a crisp whistle, the referee quickly blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Su Dong quickly kicked the ball to Jiuri, turned around and ran forward.

Giuly passed the ball back to Marcos, letting Barcelona get the ball in the middle and backcourt, and he rushed forward quickly.

AC Milan began to press heavily. Shevchenko, Crespo and Kaka all rushed into Barcelona's half court for the first time, forming a pressure and encirclement of Barcelona in the midfield.

After Van Bronckhorst got the ball on the left, he felt the pressure from two nearby AC Milan players, and immediately passed the ball forward with big feet, wanting to go directly to Su Dong.

But this pass was not good, and the strength was a little light, and Gattuso took the lead to top the ball down.

Kaka retracted the organization and handed the ball to Cafu. Cafu picked a pass and gave it directly to Shevchenko in the frontcourt.

After the Ukrainian stopped the ball in his chest, he tried to cut in with the ball, but Marcos, who was dragged by the Barcelona midfielder, broke the ball.

Pirlo grabbed the ball and gave it to Seedorf.

Seedorf just stopped the ball, Barcelona's defense has quickly dropped.

The Dutch midfielder moved the ball to the feet of Kaka, who was on the right side of the middle. After Kaka stopped the ball and turned, he quickly sprinted to the right with the ball. Nardinho dribbled the ball straight to van Bronckhorst, forcing the Dutch left-back to almost fail to keep up and was forced to foul on the left front of the penalty area.

...

Kaka's speed is really fast, and his ability to drive the ball is very strong.

AC Milan attaches great importance to this free kick attack. The position is very good and it is very threatening.

Tall players like Stam, Nesta and Maltinho all came up.

We said before that in terms of average height of players, Barcelona and AC Milan have a very obvious gap. Set-piece tactics and high balls will definitely be the focus of AC Milan.

Look at the free kick this time, Pirlo sent it out quickly, and there was some confusion in the penalty area.

Martini!

The ball is in!!!!

Oh my god, in just fifty-two seconds, AC Milan used a free kick in the frontcourt and captain Maldini scored Barcelona's goal in just fifty-two seconds!

Barcelona's free-kick defensive marking mistakes!

They must have thought that Pirlo was going to take a high ball and look for Stam and Nesta, but they didn't expect that Pirlo directly took a low ball, and the Barcelona defenders didn't notice Maldini at all.

One to zero!

It's definitely a fantastic start!

Maldini opens the scoring for AC Milan!

This goal also makes him the oldest goal scorer in the history of the Champions League final.

We have to admire Carlo Ancelotti now. He said that he would score Barcelona's goal in three minutes, but in fact, it didn't take three minutes at all, only fifty-two seconds, and they fulfilled their promise.

...

The goal was conceded at the beginning of the game. Although Barcelona was shocked, it was not completely unprepared.

Coach Rijkaard and captain Puyol both spoke out one after another to stabilize the team, hoping that the players can calm down and stabilize their positions.

Before the game, it was not that Barcelona did not deduce and plan for losing the ball first, but they did not expect it to be lost so quickly.

The player quickly stabilized his mind and was not in a hurry, still trying to control the ball.

AC Milan obviously focused on grabbing the ball around the midline. They were not keen on the ball. They wanted to quickly start a counterattack after grabbing the ball. The weapons were long passes and Kaka.

In the third minute, after AC Milan grabbed the ball again, Seedorf made an oblique long pass and sent the ball to the right side of the Barcelona penalty area.

Crespo blocked Puyol with his body, stopped the ball in front of the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, turned and crossed, hit the ball over the bottom line, and earned a corner kick.

Seedorf was in charge of taking the corner kick and made it to the front point with precision.

Crespo suddenly jumped from the front of the goal to the front, grabbed before Deco, and shook his head to attack the goal from close range.

The ball hit Crespo's head and quickly got into the right side of Barcelona's goal.

Two to zero!

In an instant, two completely different faces appeared on the pitch.

On one side was an inexplicable surprise AC Milan, their players and fans were almost crazy with excitement.

On the other side is a stunned Barcelona.

Before the game, everyone thought that Ancelotti was bragging, and that even if Barcelona's defense was unreliable, could it still allow you to score in three minutes?

But things in the world are so absurd.

Barcelona not only conceded the ball in three minutes, but also conceded two in a row!

It's all set balls!
