Super Coach

Ah~~

When the Liverpool fans in the stands of Anfield Stadium let out a burst of excited shouts, Ancelotti, who was standing on the sidelines, was also heartbroken, especially when he couldn't help but walked out of the visiting team's coaching bench and came to the sidelines. At that time, Carrick had already completed a trademark long pass from the backcourt.

From offense to defense, Liverpool's most powerful and domineering attack surged forward.

But this time, Maldini desperately grabbed the ball before Drogba and cleared the ball with a header, defusing a threatening attack from Liverpool and letting Ancelotti breathe a sigh of relief.

Let Drogba grab the first point in the penalty area, and what will greet them will be Liverpool's almost unreasonable offensive.

What a fucking lunatic! Ancelotti cursed in his mind.

Sometimes he really couldn't understand why Yang Cheng could always attack so hard?

Does he have enough confidence in his team? Or is he just so desperate and stress-free?

It was impossible for Yang Cheng to talk to Ancelotti about this kind of inner analysis, and the latter naturally had no way of knowing.

Ivan, look more to the right! Ancelotti came out and reminded this disciple who had just had a close hug with Yang Cheng before the game. At that time, he really had a very absurd feeling. .

Without Gattuso, Milan would not be able to play football today. But the problem is that the defensive hero Ancelotti relies on most is Yang Cheng's favorite disciple. He even told the media directly before that he The head coach I respect the most is Yang Cheng.

Perhaps, if Ancelotti had the good character of not forgetting the well-digger, he would be ashamed of his hostility to Yang Cheng, but it is obvious that he does not.

The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides on the court was very fast. Liverpool launched an attack from the beginning, while Milan, as Yang Cheng expected, hoped more to control the football. Ancelotti's strategy was, since I am between offense and defense. If it's swinging, it's better for me to control it and stabilize the situation. It depends on the situation.

But this idea was disrupted by Liverpool from the beginning, because Liverpool obviously wanted to be fast.

I am fast, are you fast? If you are not fast, I will fight the slow with fast!

As a result, it appeared that in the past few minutes, both sides were attacking and defending at a fast pace.

We don't look excited enough! Tassotti said with a frown.

Ancelotti nodded, this excitement does not come from the body, but from the spirit.

Slow warming has always been a big problem for Milan. This has a lot to do with the fact that there are so many old players in their team. Many players are already in a tacit understanding of their careers. Although they are rich in experience, they are not very good at playing. , much inferior to young players.

Stabilize the situation first! Ancelotti had nothing to do about it.

But as soon as he said these words, Liverpool suddenly accelerated.

…………

…………

The game had only started for 10 minutes, but Cafu was already out of breath. Big beads of sweat slipped from his face and fell on his already soaked jersey that clung to his back.

The captain of Brazil is 35 years old. Looking at those Brazilian players, how many of them can still play the main role in a top giant like Milan at the age of 35?

He is proud and proud of himself for being able to do this. At the same time, he is also working hard for a World Cup ticket to Germany, which makes him conscientious in every game.

But the problem is, there are some things that can’t be prevented by maintaining self-discipline, hard work and diligence.

Such as physical fitness, such as age, such as peak condition!

At his peak, Cafu could go forward to provide assists and act as a winger, but he could also come back in time, sprint dozens of meters in the shortest time, return to his own defense zone and participate in defense. At that time, he was majestic on the right. Eight sides, invincible.

But now, he can still move forward and participate in the offense, but he can't come back in time like before, and can't actively devote himself to defense like before, because after running tens of meters, he has to take a breath first. .

Many people criticized him for becoming lazy, becoming a big player, and not considering defense anymore.

In fact, he was over-motivated, he wanted to, but he couldn't.

Some things are lost unconsciously. You don't know when it left you, and you don't know if it will come back again. You don't even know what you will become after losing it.

Only when you stand on the football field and look at the passionate young man in front of you do you realize that I am old!

Oh, by the way, what's his name?

For a while, Cafu's mind was a little blank. He couldn't think of Robben's name, and he didn't know when Robben and Ronaldinho quietly completed the change of positions and ran to the right. He suddenly couldn't turn around. .

The instinctive reaction is to think about who he is and what technical characteristics he has.

Soon, he thought of it.

Arjen Robben, Dutch, left foot...

This shocked him, because he was still in the same position as when defending Ronaldinho, which was more of a defensive method of blocking the inside angle. Doesn't this mean leaking the gap on the left side?

As soon as Cafu reacted, Robben did not give him time. After Rise advanced, Carrick's ball came to his feet. The latter sent it forward, and Robben used a very simple feint. , deceived Cafu, and rushed to the baseline along the left wing with the ball.

In the penalty area, Drogba has already held Stam. The Ivorian has the physical fitness that he is most proud of. The Dutch desperately tried to squeeze him, but found that this monster was like a mountain.

Maldini had to block it out because Cafu was passed. He had to block Robben's angle to go to the center and not let him enter the penalty area casually. Therefore, the area around the back post became Drogba and Sta. Mu's one-on-one battle.

Robben quickly came to the edge of the penalty area. Maldini was guarding him, but Robben made an emergency stop, suddenly accelerated towards the baseline, and passed a quick half-high ball before leaving the baseline, which passed Maldini's feet. , went directly to Qiandian.

Who is there?

Gerald! !

Gerrard didn't stop all the way from behind and rushed directly into Milan's penalty area, directly facing Robben's cross. When he saw Dida was about to attack, he didn't hesitate at all, nor did he worry about his leap. When he went out, would he hit the pillar? Anyway, he jumped directly without any scruples.

At this moment, countless people saw this scene. Gerrard flew towards the ball. Dida suddenly stopped in the middle of the attack and made a save, but the ball slipped from his right side. Passed and got into the goal.

ALLLLLLLLLL!!!

A diving header from Steven Gerrard!

11th minute, 11th minute! The commentators on the scene were a little carried away, because no one expected that Liverpool would regain the score so quickly. This was a sudden blow!

It was too fast. Liverpool's entire counterattack was too fast. Milan's old defense line was completely penetrated!

Neither Cafu nor Maldini were able to stop Robben, especially Cafu, who easily let Robben get the ball and pass him by, but he could only watch Robben pass by and could do nothing. Really It’s so surprising.”

Gerrard, who scored the goal, fell to the grass, but he jumped up from the ground immediately.

The teammates around him rushed over desperately to celebrate his goal, but Gerrard rushed directly into the goal, took his goal out of the goal line, and ran quickly towards the midfield.

There is nothing to celebrate, we are still behind, we have to continue to score goals and continue to score more goals!

Gerrard's move surprised his teammates, but they all understood that although the score was back to 1: But now it is Liverpool's home court, and Milan cannot be given a chance to score, otherwise, everything will be over.

Running all the way to the midfield, Gerrard held the ball in one hand and stretched out his index finger with the other hand to wrap it around his head, as if to say: Liverpool fans in the stands of Anfield Stadium, let your cheers, let your Enthusiasm, come more intensely!

Liverpool's fans immediately responded greatly to the captain's request. Tens of thousands of Liverpool fans in the audience shouted Gerrard's name crazily. They all got carried away and rushed to the fence, shouting and cheering. .

Liverpool's players returned to their positions one by one, waiting for Milan's kick-off.

That kind of battle is so frightening.

You have so much fighting spirit, Gerrard. This Liverpool team hún showed a very outstanding fighting will in this game. He almost represents the spirit and tradition of Liverpool. He knows and understands better than anyone else that killing Reaching the final means so much to Liverpool.

On the sidelines of the pitch, Dalglish and Ian Rush were jumping and shouting with excitement. Only they could understand what it meant to them to reach the Champions League final again. In order to get this ticket, they even Yu did not hesitate to give his all.

Just by virtue of this goal and his actions after the goal, I am absolutely convinced that Gerrard will go down in the history of Liverpool and become one of the greatest stars in the history of Liverpool! Alan? Hansen spoke excitedly when explaining the domestic broadcast in England.

For Liverpool at this moment, Gerrard's goal is no longer just a goal.

…………

…………

Liverpool, who had taken the lead, began to play fiercely.

The Red Army has never been a sluggish team, and Liverpool has always been a tough team that gets stronger when it encounters a strong opponent. Therefore, when Gerrard scored, Liverpool's momentum was suddenly unleashed. The team's offense became more courageous and fierce than before the start.

When Milan faced Liverpool's crazy attack, the Rossoneri was unable to find an effective way for a while, and was forced to start shrinking its defense and was beaten by Liverpool.

But even so, Milan's goal still looks in danger.

In the 16th minute, Ronaldinho returned to the left again. After forcibly breaking through Cafu, he passed the ball into the penalty area. Drogba returned the header with a header. Gerrard inserted in the back row and scored near the penalty spot. He volleyed with his foot, but the ball hit the crossbar slightly and flew out of the baseline.

Just 5 minutes later, another breakthrough came from Liverpool. Robben broke through Kaladze on the right and then passed a low pass into the penalty area. Drogba volleyed 16 meters in front of the goal, but it was slightly wide of the goal, wasting a very good goal. Good chance to score.

Seeing helplessly that such a close shot missed the target, Yang Cheng was really speechless about Drogba's shooting skills. Couldn't this guy be more accurate? Or is it that after watching so many shooting action highlights in the past two years, it has no effect on him at all?

Seeing Liverpool chasing after fiercely, Milan quickly regained stability after experiencing chaos. Yang Cheng also had to ask the players to slow down their offensive and began to patiently look for opportunities. However, the pace of the game still remained at the Premier League pace. level.

Davis, Gerrard and Carrick did a good job cutting the Milan midfield, especially Davis. After the Dutch Boar returned from injury, his performance was obviously better than Essien, but the Dutchman is older. Not too young, but Essien is in his shaping period, so Davis is Liverpool's present and Essien is the team's future.

With him watching Rui Costa, Yang Cheng felt relieved.

…………

…………

With a score of 1:0, the two sides returned to the locker room.

After a 15-minute rest, the two teams changed sides and played again.

Neither side made any substitution adjustments, nor did they improve their tactics in the first half. Even Milan's Cafu on the right was blocked by two Liverpool wingers, and Ancelotti did not make any substitution adjustments. .

This is no wonder, because the current right-sided players in the Milan team, whether it is Simic or Pancaro, are honestly not as good as Cafu. The existence of the former only proves once again how right Yang Cheng was in selling him to his mortal enemy. One thing, and the latter proves that age is a criterion for declining status.

Because Pancaro is one year younger than Cafu, his condition actually declined faster than Cafu.

But at the beginning of the second half, Milan once again felt the terror of Liverpool's attack.

Ancelotti reminded the players in the locker room that Liverpool would definitely launch a more violent attack in the second half and put tremendous pressure on Milan, but they never expected that the pressure from Liverpool would be so great.

From the beginning of the second half, they continued to follow the tactics of the first half and actively looked for offensive opportunities, as if they were still lagging behind in the score, but in fact, now the two teams have returned to the same starting line. .

Drogba desperately attacked Milan's defense from the front. His presence made both Maldini and Stam feel exhausted. Although his shooting skills seemed to be poor, he had a high tactical execution rate and abundant physical fitness. Being on the move all the time puts very high demands on defenders, and there is no room for a moment of negligence.

Ronaldinho and Robben are still attacking Milan's two wings. They frequently change positions according to the situation on the field, causing huge trouble to Milan's defense.

Gerrard is almost everywhere. Going forward, he can press Milan's defense, and when retreating, he can interfere with Milan's midfield passing. He is running all the time, infecting Liverpool players all the time.

Look, the man named Gerrard wearing the captain's armband is still running and fighting. What about you?

Sometimes, players who lead by example are really needed on the court. They may not be the most outstanding or the most talented, but they are definitely the most worthy of respect from others.

After being unable to attack for a long time, Milan's long-planned attack finally took off.

Although this group of old and healthy guys are not as physically capable as the young people, they are much richer in experience than the young people. They know better what to do when.

For example, now, they first defend Liverpool's offense, slowly wearing down your spirit, and then plan to counterattack.

In the 67th minute, Kaka passed the ball from the middle to the right. After Shevchenko got behind Riise to get the ball, he forced a breakthrough from the right rib and entered the Liverpool penalty area, but was interfered by Carragher who returned to his position in time. , Shevchenko's shot was saved by Reina and the Spaniard showed a good competitive state this time.

Milan took a corner kick and Stam headed the ball over the crossbar in front of the small penalty area.

But this counterattack is still very threatening, and it also gives Liverpool a wake-up call. ! .
