Kaka Rebirth Belt System

Chapter 81 Facing Barcelona

At 10:20 on October 20th, the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage began. Group F AC Milan played against Barcelona at home.

Milan's starting lineup has not changed much from their last league game. Dida continued to gain the trust of Ancelotti as the starting goalkeeper, with Cafu, Nesta, Stam and Maldini in the defense.Since Stam came to Milan, the central defender combination of him and Nesta has often appeared, and Maldini has switched to playing left back.The midfield is still the familiar combination of Gattuso, Pirlo and Seedorf, Kaka has a single midfielder, and double forwards Shevchenko and Inzaghi.Ancelotti has recently used this 4312 formation more and more handy, and Kaka squeezed out Rui Costa's position, which once made many old Milan fans sigh.But Costa's age is there. He himself even stood up to defend Kaka, and Kaka has performed well in the league since the new season. No matter how nostalgic the fans are, they have to admit that time makes people old.

Kaka was not surprised to find that Messi did not appear in the starting list, and Iniesta was pressed on the bench with him.Barcelona's starting goalkeeper is Valdez, with Belletti, Puyol, Oleg and Van Bronckhorst in the defense, Xavi, Max and Deco in the midfield, and Larsson, Etienne in the frontcourt. To'o and Ronaldinho, 433 is also Barcelona's usual style of play.

After the opening, AC Milan had a slight advantage in offense. Shevchenko found an opportunity to reach the edge of the Barcelona penalty area and shot a goal at the beginning, which was confiscated by Valdes.Subsequently, Pirlo intercepted the ball in the middle and passed it directly to Inzaghi, but due to excessive strength, Inzaghi quickly chased the ball and failed to prevent the ball from being attacked by Valdez.

Although Milan tried its best to attack, Barcelona did not allow Milan to take much substantial advantage.But for a long time, they controlled the midfield situation with precise passing and played a rhythm that belonged to the Catalans.Milan fans pay the most attention to Ronaldinho because he is Shevchenko's most powerful competitor in the Ballon d'Or, but the facts tell them that there is more than one Ronaldinho on Barcelona's striker.Larsson, who is 33 years old this year, signed a one-year contract with Barcelona. The Swedish international is still alive and has threatened Milan's goals several times.

In the 17th minute, Deco and Belletti played a wonderful two-for-one cooperation on the right. Deco dribbled forward and then passed the ball to Belletti. Maldini stepped forward to fight, and Belletti faked The action shook the captain of Milan, and hit Deco again.Deco passed the ball to the far post, and Larsson, who was waiting there, grabbed the spot and headed it!

Dida jumped high, relieved to see the ball go over the bar over his fingertips.However, Barcelona's pressing rhythm is not over yet.After Dida kicked off again, Ronaldinho grabbed the ball in the middle circle and forced his way into the middle of the penalty area. After attracting the attention of Gattuso, Nesta and Maldini, he decisively handed the ball to Eto profound.Eto'o didn't stick to the ball either, and distributed the ball to Larson in the space on the left.

This is Cafu's defensive area. The Brazilian international, once known as the world's number one right back, made a mistake when facing Larsson, who was one year younger than himself, and failed to stop Larsson's extraordinary change of direction. The Swede seized the opportunity to shoot with his left foot in the penalty area!

It was another threatening shot, Dida jumped to the left, and was thrilled to find that the football hit the crossbar and bounced off. He immediately fell down and hugged the ball tightly.Larson, who missed the shot, covered his face regretfully. The excellent opportunity created by this excellent cooperation was wasted.

Shevchenko and Kaka looked at each other at the same time, and their intention to give Barcelona back is self-evident.Maldini and Cafu, who made mistakes in the defense, also secretly clenched their fists, vowing never to give Barcelona such a chance again.

After Seedorf took the ball in the midfield, seeing that Barcelona's midfield was heavily backlogged and difficult to break through, he passed it back to Stam on the defensive line.Kaka, who was running without the ball on the left, attracted Stam's attention. He passed the ball forward with just the right strength and position. Harvey, cross from the left to Shevchenko.

Barcelona's defense line is not a display either. Shevchenko's side has already been heavily guarded, so Sheva hits the goal almost as soon as he catches the ball. No. 23 Oleg reacted quickly, and when Kaka made a cross, he had already penetrated to Shevchenko's oblique side.

Inzaghi rushed to the horse, stopped the ball with a chest and fixed the ball under his feet, almost shooting alone facing the goalkeeper!

After Oleg's header destroyed Shevchenko's shot, he even looked at Inzaghi's shooting line with vicious eyes. He made a lying tackle and destroyed the ball out of the baseline!

The San Siro fans gasped, then boos erupted.

"Today's game, Milan and Barcelona are really match! In the several offensive cooperation between the players of both sides, the goals of both sides are frequently in danger. Which side can seize the opportunity to score first?" Sky TV commentator Gallacher because of this successive Several times of thrilling shots made his heart beat endlessly, and he unconsciously took on an excited questioning tone when speaking.

Milan won a corner kick from Pirlo on the right, and Kaka scored a shot that was scored by Valdes.Prince San Siro waved his arms, his face full of regret, and Messi, who was sitting on the bench, also lamented and showed a regretful expression.

Iniesta, who had already made his mark in the first team of Barcelona, ​​looked at Messi with "Damn" eyes and asked: "Leo, Kaka failed to score, why are you sighing?"

Messi was startled, his little eyes were a little confused, he shook his head at Iniesta and said, "I don't know either."

Messi's character is inherently introverted, and Iniesta doesn't want to ask further questions with such a silly appearance. Maybe this kid is too involved in watching and only pays attention to his football skills?

Successfully pretending to be a fool, Messi wiped the sweat from the bottom of his heart.This is the first time he has watched Kaka play live, and it would be a lie to say that he is not excited. He has been clenching his fists, and his heart is complicated and entangled. At one moment, he hoped that Kaka would score a goal, and at the same time, he hoped that Valdez would take Milan's shot. It's all thrown out, it really can't be more tangled.

The situation on the court was changing rapidly, and before Messi had figured out what he wanted to see, Cafu and Gattuso launched a new round of attacks on the right.Cafu took the ball near the right side of the center circle and passed it to Gattuso in the center. Gattuso dribbled the ball horizontally past Max and passed it straight to Kaka on the right.Facing Harvey in front, the breakthrough is risky. Kaka took a deep breath. After taking the ball two steps away, he suddenly kicked the ball from the sideline and passed the ball straight to the goal!

"Kaka made a wonderful pass, with Inzaghi and Shevchenko in front of the goal, not offside!"

Inzaghi and Oleg jumped up to compete for the top at the same time. Oleg, who wanted to clear the siege, did not expect that his body would block Valdez's sight. Valdez, who attacked, fell into a blind spot, and the ball passed Inzaghi and Oleg high. After Oleg's head, reach the left side of the goal where Shevchenko is!

Shevchenko jumped up to head the ball, and with an easy swing, it was like heading the ball into an empty goal. At this moment, Valdez couldn't catch up, and could only watch the ball hit the net!

"gooooool! sheva!! It was Kaka who assisted, and a wonderful pass went directly to the goal!"

Shevchenko opened his arms and ran towards Kaka like a bird with fluttering wings. Kaka also opened his arms to welcome Shevchenko's embrace.In the 31st minute, they scored a goal and took the lead at home!

Seeing the two handsome AC Milan guys in red and black jerseys hugging each other tightly, Gallacher in the commentary room swallowed his saliva covering the microphone, coughed twice and said: "Congratulations to Milan for scoring the first goal! Ka and Sheva looked very excited! This is also Sheva's victory against Ronaldinho!"

At this time, Messi looked at the frustrated teammates around him, feeling a little sad and happy in his heart.Hey, Kaka's pass just now was really accurate...

As if to prove to the audience that he is also a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldinho continued to attack AC Milan's defense in the following time.He first made a clever two-for-one cooperation with Larson on the edge of the penalty area, and then dribbled into the penalty area.Milan's newly purchased central defender Stam played the power of his individual defense at this time, firmly forcing Ronaldinho to interfere closely, Ronaldinho barely hit the goal but failed to use strength, Dida easily put the ball in his arms .

A subsequent free kick was also taken by Ronaldinho, and the ball went over the crossbar after flying over the wall.The contest between the two stars is not over yet. After Barcelona's round of offense ended, Shevchenko, not to be outdone, used the opportunity of defensive counterattack to force a breakthrough in the midfield.At this time, Puyol, who is already the third captain of Barcelona, ​​reacted the fastest. He returned to the defense in time, grabbed the ball before Shevchenko entered the penalty area, and immediately passed it back to his teammates.

Harvey, who received the ball, took the ball to the left and tried to pass the ball forward to Deco.Stam rushed over and shoveled the ball before Deco.At the same time, Ronaldinho was also running wildly to get the ball. Seeing that the ball was shoveled by Stam and flying in his direction, he stretched out his foot to hook without hesitation, but was returned to the defense in the next second. Kaka interfered and failed to protect the football.

In Ancelotti's tactical arrangement, Kaka's defensive task is relatively heavy.Anshuai is afraid of Barcelona's quick counterattack, and no one in AC Milan's defense is faster than Cheetah Eto'o.In order to be on the safe side, Ancelotti gave Kaka more defensive responsibilities, but lowered his requirements for breakthroughs.This kind of tactic advocates seeking victory while maintaining stability, and even requires Kaka to mark the opponent's players when necessary. Kaka himself doesn't like it very much. He understands Ancelotti's concerns, so he is very active in returning to defense.But if necessary, he thought, personal breakthroughs are fine.
