[Football] Inzaghi couple

I sat with Philip in the stands of the Atatürk Stadium and watched the whole game. He was in a bad mood and could not fight side by side with his teammates. He could only witness his team go from leading to equalizing and finally losing points ball fight.I have to say that feeling sucks!

——The Autobiography of Maria Baggio

After double-beating Manchester United at home and away, Milan successfully entered the next round. They met Inter Milan, the derby team in the same city.This is the only team that does not need to mobilize before playing games, so the results can be imagined.After breaking through Inter Milan, Milan's semi-final opponent Eindhoven, the Eredivisie team, did not pose much threat to Milan. They successfully got a ticket to Istanbul, Turkey.

Milan's opponent in the Champions League final is Liverpool from the Premier League. They have entered the Champions League final five times and won the cup four times. The winning percentage is higher than Milan's nine finals and six cups.

Around these two teams before the game, their respective supporters kept building momentum for the two teams.

The football field is a very superstitious place. There are many things that seem to be coincidences, but are attributed to a certain curse or a certain miracle.

For example, the last time Liverpool won the Champions League was in [-], when the Pope of the Vatican died and Prince Charles of the United Kingdom married Princess Diana.In the year [-], the death of the Pope and the marriage of Prince Charles also happened in the year when Liverpool won the championship.So Liverpool supporters use this as an argument to prove that Liverpool will be the well-deserved king of the Champions League this year.

However, as supporters of Milan, they also immediately produced counter-evidence: Liverpool won the championship four times wearing red jerseys, Milan also won the championship four times wearing white jerseys, and in the information released before the game, both sides will wear red jerseys. Their lucky colors, so who will win?

No matter how the media and fans create momentum before the game, the game will still depend on the players of both sides. However, there was bad news from Milan before the game. The main striker Inzaghi missed the final due to injury.The lack of a very competitive striker has to be said to be very bad news for Milan.

Although he was sure to miss the final, Inzaghi came to Istanbul. He came with his wife Maria. He didn't want to stay at home in Milan and watch his teammates fight on the pitch through the TV screen.Even if he can't play, he wants to stay close to his teammates.

Maria supported Inzaghi's idea very much. Because of Turkey's religious issues and many fans, Maria thought about it and left her daughter to Inzaghi's parents to take care of, and accompanied her husband to Istanbul alone.

Now sitting in the stands of the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Maria looked at the stands that were painted by the supporters of the two teams with their representative colors and couldn't help saying to Inzaghi: "Two years ago in the old Trafford, you're on the pitch, I'm watching the game with my brother and Jose and Redondo. To be honest my brother and Redondo are fighting Jose across me, it makes both of us I have the urge to watch football in another place.”

Because of Maria's words, Inzaghi couldn't help but think of the Champions League final two years ago. They played against Juventus in England until the penalty shootout. "I hope today's game will be smoother, and it's better not to play a penalty shootout." The two Italian teams are equally at odds with penalty kicks, but if they play against other countries' leagues, they will always cast a shadow on them.

Maria nodded knowingly, and then began to complain about Guti, that guy booked a plane ticket as soon as the league ended and flew to the United States without looking back, not even watching the Champions League final.In the guy's own words, anyway, there is no Real Madrid in the final, so he might as well go to the United States to watch Redondo. eeee

"I really hope that after he flies to the United States, he finds out that Redondo has flown back to Europe to watch the Champions League final." Just as Maria finished speaking, she saw the big screen showing the celebrities she found in the stands. Inzaghi has already been on the big screen, and this time it was Redondo who was discovered.

Maria looked at Inzaghi in surprise, and Inzaghi smiled wickedly: "Honey, maybe you should buy a lottery ticket." He could already imagine how a certain wolf howled in the United States, enough to make He laughed three times.

Maria gave Inzaghi a white look: "I hope you haven't become as predictable as I am."

The two couples were still bickering, but after three hours they stopped laughing at all.

Under the guidance of the Champions League trophy, the two sides walked out of the player channel and started to line up. After shaking hands with the referee, they took photos of the starting 11 players.

With the whistle of the referee, the game started, and before some late fans had found their seats, the first goal of the game came.

"Milan played today in a 1-[-]-[-]-[-] formation, goalkeeper Dida, um, wait a minute, Milan got a free kick in a good position, let's see what happened ..." Before the commentator had time to report the starting lineups of both sides, the situation on the field changed.

Liverpool won the ball, but it was intercepted by Milan at the beginning, and then Milan organized their first attack of the game.Kaka broke through with the ball from the right and was brought down by No. [-] Traore of Liverpool. The referee awarded a free kick on the right side of the front of the penalty area.

Pirlo was responsible for taking the free kick. He drove the ball directly into the penalty area. In front of the goal, four Milan players were entangled with almost twice as many Liverpool players. Tini also received the ball smoothly, he shot directly and scored the ball into Liverpool's goal.In less than 1 minute of the opening, Milan scored a goal, leading [-]-[-].

Although the commentator was interrupted, he was very excited: "The goal just now happened [-] seconds after the opening. This is the fastest goal in the Champions League final. Milan scored this goal at the same time. Captain Maldini also became the oldest final scorer in the history of the Champions League, setting a record at the beginning, which may indicate that this is a night that belongs to Milan."

Although they conceded a goal first, Liverpool did not panic. They kept attacking, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible. At one time, most of Milan's players were replayed in their own penalty area. The "culprit" Trau who conceded the goal just now Ray was particularly active. As a defender, he appeared in Milan's half from time to time. Perhaps this black iron guard hopes to score a goal for Liverpool more than anyone else.

The two sides performed very well at the beginning. In addition to Milan's goal, Liverpool also completed their first goal in the opening 3 minutes. Gerrard passed the ball near the right corner to the penalty area, and Hyypia received the ball. He pokes and shoots, but misses.Immediately afterwards, Milan returned the favor, and Shevchenko dribbled the ball straight in from the right, but was destroyed by Liverpool players, only to get a penalty for Milan.After Liverpool got a free kick, Gerrard and Kewell made a tactical cooperation, but the ball slipped out.

"It seems that Liverpool's luck is a bit bad. The free kick just now was beautiful but it was missed." A certain commentator said.

Maybe this commentator has the skills of a crow's mouth. In the [-]rd minute, Liverpool made a substitution, replacing Kewell with Smicer. Judging from the picture given by the TV signal, Kewell seemed to appear from [-] minutes Injured situation.Kewell, who was substituted, didn't seem to be in a good mood. His teammates could only comfort him, hoping that he could calm down.But it seems that there is little hope. After all, in this level of finals, it is really frustrating to be replaced halfway due to injuries.

In the [-]th minute, Milan almost opened the score again. Liverpool dribbled the ball in the Milan half and was intercepted by Seedorf. Then Seedorf passed the ball to Kaka. Shevchenko who kept up with the road, Shevchenko accomplished it overnight.However, just when Shevchenko was about to grab the corner flagpole to celebrate, the linesman raised the flag, signaling that he was offside with the ball.

Shevchenko on the field was a little dazed, Ancelotti on the sidelines was a little dissatisfied, and the Milan fans in the stands were also unhappy, but the slow-motion replay on the big screen at the scene did show that Shevchenko was indeed offside .

"If you were on the court, would you not be offside?" Maria asked her husband who was watching the game intently. Her husband was a man who claimed to live on the offside line.

"It's hard to say, the art of offside can only be said to be a question in football history that never has a correct answer." Inzaghi did not give a positive answer. If it was not his teammate who was called offside just now, he must have Will say that if he is on the field, he must not be called offside.

There is about a quarter of an hour left in the first half of the game, and the two sides are still very anxious. Milan wants to expand its lead, and Liverpool is also eager to smooth the gap.

In the [-]th minute, Luis Garcia, No. [-] of Liverpool, hit the goal in front of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the ball hit the Milan defender and bounced out of bounds.

In the [-]th minute, Milan passed the ball back to their own half to reorganize the attack, but this attack ended again with Crespo offside.

"Although Inzaghi is not on the court, it seems that he has always been with the team, but he forgot to give his teammates the talent on the offside line." The commentator joked, TV cameras and The big screen at the scene found the Inzaghi couple in the stands in good time.

Originally, the two couples were watching the game seriously, but when they saw them appearing on the big screen again, they simply waved.And the fans who saw them seemed dissatisfied that they were just waving and greeting, and even booed kindly.

"Honey, can you?" Inzaghi looked at Maria with a smile.

Maria shrugged: "Remember to be photogenic."

As soon as she finished speaking, Inzaghi hugged her and gave her a passionate kiss, and Maria also put her hand on Inzaghi's shoulder very cooperatively, seeming to enjoy the kiss very much.The fans at the scene, whether Milan fans or Liverpool fans, applauded the couple's passionate kiss.In the stands, couples watching and kissing are also very beautiful shots, let alone a celebrity couple.

Originally, the Milan players were still depressed about the two offsides, but seeing the interaction of the couple in the stands, they couldn't help laughing, and some of them had funny expressions, as if they were making fun of Inzaghi.The Liverpool players also applauded and praised the kiss.

However, the friendship on the field lasted less than 1 minute. At [-] minutes, Garcia broke into the penalty area again, and Nesta fell to the ground to block the ball, touching the ball with his arm.Liverpool immediately signaled to the referee that it was a penalty kick, but the referee believed that this was a passive penalty kick, and did not award a penalty kick, nor interrupted the game.Milan seized this opportunity to launch a fast break, Seedorf passed the ball to Pirlo, Pirlo passed the ball to Kaka, and Kaka dribbled the ball in the frontcourt.Several Liverpool defenders stepped forward to defend, but he picked it up lightly and passed the ball to Shevchenko. Shevchenko made a false shot on the right side of the penalty area and passed the ball to Crespo on the left. Respo briskly scored the ball. [-]-[-], Milan continued to lead.

The camera was shown to Ancelotti who came to the sidelines. At this moment, he was also jumping as high as he was a player. Obviously, the weight he gained after retiring did not have much impact on his jumping.

"Two goals behind, this game is a bit difficult for Liverpool."

Today's commentary also seems to have the attributes of a crow's mouth. At [-] minutes, Liverpool's midfielder made a pass error, allowing Milan to successfully steal the ball and launch a quick counterattack. The ball is scored. [-]-[-], Milan seems to have obtained a seemingly insurmountable score in less than half time. The Red Army fans in the stands were also a little frustrated. They were worried about the passivity of the home team.

In the end, Milan ended the first half with a three-goal lead. Watching his teammates enter the player channel one by one, Inzaghi smiled.He hated sitting on the bench, and he hated sitting in the stands, but the team's lead still made him feel a little better.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Soon people found that the wind had changed. Liverpool, who had been shot by Milan in the first half, started to fight back.

In the [-]th minute, Harvey Alonso kicked a long-range shot and hit the goal post, which opened the prelude to Liverpool's counterattack.

In [-] minutes, Kaka dribbled the ball and was brought down by Hyypia in front of the penalty area. The referee gave a free kick in a very positive position.Hypia was a little dissatisfied with the referee's penalty. After negotiating with the referee to no avail, he talked around Kaka for a long time.However, this could not change the referee's penalty, and Milan still got the free kick.

Pirlo and Seedorf stood behind the ball, and they seemed to be discussing who would take the free kick. In the end, Pirlo gave the ball to Seedorf, and Seedorf called it back to Shevchenko. Vchenko shot hard, but the ball was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek.

At [-] minutes, Liverpool cooperated on both wings. A long pass from the right passed the ball to the left, and then the left player handed it to Gerrard in the center. Gerrard headed into the net, [-]-[-], Liverpool pulled back a goal.

Inzaghi frowned. As soon as the goal was scored, Liverpool started to gain momentum. I hope his teammates will work harder and stop letting Liverpool score.

But Inzaghi's hope was out of sight, and just two minutes later, Alonso knocked Hamann back for a Liverpool throw-in. , The ball brushed past teammate Baros in front of the goal and entered the goal. 2-[-], Liverpool scored another goal.

The morale of the Liverpool fans in the stands improved all of a sudden, they shouted desperately, cheering for their home team.Similarly, scoring two goals in a row in a few minutes also gave the Liverpool players on the field more confidence in being able to equalize or even surpass the game.

At the same time, the confidence of Milan's players was also hit, and they had to be more careful to defend the last goal difference.Ancelotti's expression on the sidelines was also very serious. Obviously, he did not expect that the second half of the game would become so difficult.

However, it was raining overnight, and Gerrard broke into the penalty area with the ball and was pushed down by Gattuso. The referee decisively awarded a penalty.Even though the Milan players argued with the referee for a long time, the referee did not change the penalty.

Liverpool took the penalty from Alonso. The handsome Spaniard looked calm. He aimed at the bottom left corner of the goal. Dida saved it, but before the Milan players stepped forward to make a clearance, Alonso reacted Quickly stepped forward to make up shots and scored the ball.

[-]-[-], in the [-] minutes of the second half, the two sides returned to the same starting line.However, leading from the start, scoring three goals in the first half, and losing three goals in the second half, Milan's morale was hit hard.Psychologically speaking, the two sides are not on the same starting line.

The same is true for the fans in the stands. The Liverpool fans are crazy, while the Milan fans are a little listless.

And in the [-]th minute of the second half, Milan once again missed the opportunity to exceed, which hit their morale even more.At that time, Shevchenko dribbled the ball in the middle circle, and after passing the Liverpool defenders, he passed it long to Crespo. Crespo handed the ball to Kaka, who was in a better position in front of the goal. Unexpectedly, Kaka's shot was unable to save Dudek. Carragher, who was desperately chasing back, blocked the bottom line.Maybe after the whole game is over, Kaka will regret the loss of the ball.

Then both sides made substitutions, Baros was replaced by Cisse, Thomason and Serginho replaced Crespo and Seedorf respectively.

It's just that the deployment of troops from both sides did not cause a change in the score, and the two sides could only enter overtime with a tie score.

In the extra time, the two sides still had various offenses and defenses, and Carragher even struggled to cramps, just because Liverpool had no substitutions, so they could only grit their teeth and stick to the game.

However, it was Carragher, dragging a cramped leg, who sabotaged Milan's attack with a tackle in front of the goal three minutes later.

Milan's last attack came in the last 2 minutes of overtime. Serginho made a long pass from the left, and Shevchenko's shot in front of the goal was blocked by Dudek. Dudek, who didn't have time to get up on the ground, blocked it.

The expressions of the Milan fans in the stands were a little anxious. With the passing of extra time, the two sides are still tied, which means that the penalty shootout is not far away from them.Whether it is a player or a fan, as long as you are an Italian, you will hate penalty shootouts, and they have stumbled a lot on this.And some TV stations have begun to review the record of the two teams in terms of penalties, especially mentioning that the last time Milan won the Champions League was through a penalty shootout victory over Juventus two years ago. Not to mention the team's penalty shootout.

Inzaghi's expression in the stands also became serious, Maria sighed, and then held her husband's hand.

Even if you don't want to, the penalty shootout will come.Players on both sides seized the limited time of the penalty shootout and desperately recovered their physical strength, and more TV cameras were aimed at the goalkeepers of both sides.

The referee signaled the captains of both sides to come forward to decide the order of the free throws. According to the result of guessing the coin, Milan got the chance to take the first penalty.

Milan's first player to get to the penalty spot was Serginho, who came on in the second half. His physical strength was stronger than those players who played the whole game.However, Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek kept jumping back and forth in front of the goal, which seemed to interfere with Serginho, and he finally kicked the ball directly into the sky.Serginho walked back to his teammates with a frustrated expression. He knew he hadn't fired the cannon well.

Liverpool's first penalty kick was also Hamann who played in the second half. Without hesitation, he decisively kicked the ball to the left of the goal. Dida judged the right direction but failed to save the ball.Liverpool lead [-]-[-].

Milan's second serve was Pirlo. As the most stable penalty kick in the Milan team, his penalty was easily saved by Dudek.The situation is very unfavorable for Milan.

Next Liverpool played Cisse, who played in the second half. Cisse's expression was stern, and his shot was also calm, which directly caused Dida to throw in the wrong direction. [-]-[-], if the next penalty is still not scored, the game will be over.

The pressure and the attention of the audience were put on the Milan player Thomason. The striker who ranked behind Inzaghi, Shevchenko and even the loaned Crespo in the Milan striker performed very well at critical moments.He was not interfered by Dudek and scored the ball smoothly.

And then Liverpool Riise's penalty was saved by Dida, which seemed to give Milan a glimmer of hope.

In the next round, Milan sent Kaka. Dudek interfered with Kaka with more exaggerated movements, but Kaka was unmoved and calmly hit the ball in.And Liverpool's Smicer's penalty has fooled Dida, [-]-[-]!

Now the fifth round has become extremely critical. If Milan scores in this round and Liverpool fails to score, the two sides will continue to shoot penalties, otherwise everything will be over.

In this round of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko sent by Milan, Dudek still made funny moves to interfere with Shevchenko, which has become his magic weapon for winning penalty kicks in these rounds.Probably due to physical strength or interference, Shevchenko tricked Dudek to the left and shot in the middle, but the ball was still touched by Dudek's hand who was out of position.

The author has something to say: The stadium suddenly boiled up, Liverpool fans and players cheered, celebrating the club's return to the top of Europe after more than 20 years, especially this year is the [-]th anniversary of the Heysel tragedy, to be able to win this championship It means a lot to Liverpool people.

While the British were busy celebrating, the Milan players were a bit decadent. They couldn't believe that after leading [-]-[-] in the first half, they would be pulled three goals in a row in the second half, dragged into overtime, and finally lost. Penalty shootout.Gattuso, who gave the opponent a penalty in the game, looked ugly, which made his face look even more fierce.

While the Liverpool people were busy celebrating, even when their captain and the core midfielder were inseparable, the Milanese had no intention of watching the excitement, and some people already had some plans in their hearts.

——End of text——

The game was so exciting that I was so busy watching the game video that I almost didn't have time to code it.If you have time, you can watch this game, the one I highly recommend, you can watch it as a blockbuster movie, with climaxes and conflicts.

After the competition is finished, I can write about the daily routine. The biggest daily routine in [-] is the phone gate.

Presented in today's small theater, about the kiss in Istanbul night.

Stupid author: Captain Baozi, why did you kiss Brother Long instead of your team vice-president?Are you color control?

Captain Baozi: Wasn't that guy abducted by the guy from Manchester United?

Stupid author: But isn’t the team leader and vice team the best match? What a love!

Captain Baozi: Who said that?

Real Madrid's black-haired fox: who said that? !

(The stupid author said that Captain Baozi must be very jealous of being abducted by Manchester United's brother Neville after his vice-retirement)
