Day 172: The Miracle of Riasso (Act 3: The Brave Luke)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The "peace" of the Deportivo leadership was ignored by Milan. The myth of "Riaso's undefeated" was not only about to be destroyed, but also likely to be ruthlessly humiliated by the opponent. Only then did Vice Chairman Ramon, who knew that his feelings were irreparable,

He shouted in the media: "Even if we die, we must die heroically!"

This not only expresses the grief and indignation of Depor, a small club, but also tactfully conveys to the fans the possibility of losing and the hope of asking for forgiveness from the fans "we tried our best".

However, the proud Milanese still did not respond to the fishermen's various clumsy expressions. Would the Champions League champion care about the intimidation of an opponent who was about to be eliminated and had no resistance at all? Milan, a century-old Milan, is not intimidating.

Big! Your boss is a bumpkin, and our boss is Mr. Berlusconi, the current Italian Prime Minister!

At 8 p.m. on April 7, AC Milan, who had come from afar and was in a relaxed state, made an easy appearance under the watch of nearly full Depor fans. The entire Deportivo La Coruña team, playing at home, also appeared through the stretched player tunnel. We are eagerly looking forward to it.

As a miracle occurred, Depor fans, who were given a strong belief in victory by Riasso, did not feel the irritation behind the calm expressions of the club and players, and shouted enthusiastically as always.

At 8:05, the players of both sides stood in silence and the Spanish national anthem was played. The away team passed by the home team and shook hands with the players. Then the starting lineups of both sides stood at half court and took a group photo. Captain Maldini and Mauro Silva of both sides

Guessing the side, Maldini guessed correctly and chose the direction on the right side of the main stand, and Depor got the kick-off right.

Depor, who had already run to the right, had to regroup and switch to the left side of the court. This has to be said to be a trick of the experienced Maldini: disrupt your plan, in case you have any trouble with the left side of the court.

What about the layout?

However, at this moment, Depor does not even bother to carry out such a small calculation. The reason why Depor can have the quality of "giant killer" and a large group of civilian players with outstanding abilities and low-key personalities in the team is to look at the stars.

It has a lot to do with the fact that the players are not pleasing to the eye. In other words, this group of guys whose skills are not bad at all, but whose commercial value is not high, look at the "Beckham-like" players and have the urge to kick him in the face. So.

, once you encounter a "giant", you will easily become excited, and there will be no reason, no sign, and sudden excitement.

At 8:10, the game starts.

Depor was a little cautious, Milan was neither impatient nor impatient, and the game was quite calm. At this moment, Milan was already dreaming about winning the Champions League, and at this moment Depor had been forced into a corner. While he was afraid of humiliation, he was also afraid of humiliation.

Determined madness.

Just as the seemingly dull game was going on, in the fifth minute, Pandiani, who had shaved his head, suddenly made a contribution. As Depor's only forward and the fulcrum of the attack, he received a direct pass from No. 18 Victor in the penalty area.

, instead of turning around to break through, he ran out with the ball, dodged the difficult Maldini, suddenly turned around, and quickly hit a ground ball with an extremely tricky angle from 17 meters away.

His outward dribbling paralyzed Dida, and his turn and shot was so sudden that Dida was unable to make a timely save. He watched Pandiani score the goal with an almost casual kick. And here.

Before, the Milanese had even received two corner kicks and one shot, and this was Deportivo's first shot.

The sound of "Ah" in the Riazor Stadium shook my eardrums!

However, this did not make the Milan people nervous, nor did it even make the Deportivo La Coruña people excited. Pandiani simply waved to the fans and did not even rush to hold the ball.

The game still proceeds slowly at a calm pace, with both sides attacking and defending each other. Relatively speaking, the Milan people's attack is more vigorous. Although Ancelotti is sitting on the chair with a serious expression, his eyes are empty.

He didn't even notice the extremely positive playing attitude of Depor's No. 18 Victor and No. 19 Luke, nor did he notice the large gaps left by Cafu's frequent insertions.

Luke, who transferred to Deportivo for 15 million euros last season, has been injured and sick in the past two seasons and has not played too many games for the club, which is quite sorry for his worth. He is relatively old and strong, and has a strong body.

Kafu and Luke are pale and beardless, more like a pretty boy.

However, today, the "boy" was inspired by the Basques and was ready to defeat the world's strongest right back at all costs.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Luke attacked Cafu again. Under Cafu's collision, he hurriedly passed a very fast ball to the goal while running. The strong Cafu did not lose his position and tried his best to

After harassing him, Luke staggered and the ball failed to fulfill his expectations. However, Cafu's impact changed the path of the ball and also caused goalkeeper Dida to make a mistake in judgment. He took a step to intercept the ball without touching it.

When Dida missed the ball, the ball fell behind him. At this moment, Belleron, who was active in this game, was facing the goal. When Dida missed the ball, Belleron jumped up easily.

2:0.

The Milanese can't sit still. If Deportivo scores another goal, they will be eliminated with the advantage of away goals!

The Milanese, who were completely unprepared, had no idea that Depor could really threaten them, so they hurriedly stepped up their offensive. Pirlo, who had always been steady, even made the mistake of taking the ball without waiting for the referee's whistle after receiving a direct free kick.

A low-level mistake with the ball.

Deportivo were inspired, especially their goalkeeper Molina, who dived left and blocked Milan's attack. When the Milanese were tired after ten minutes of crazy attack, Depor actually scored another goal.

Already.

This time it's Luke again, again on the left, and again Cafu!

Luke received a through ball from Sergio in the middle and rushed into the penalty area. Cafu stayed beside him, constantly harassing and pressing. The strong Cafu squeezed Luke's attack route further and further away from the goal.

As the distance approached, the range of the shot became smaller and smaller. In the end, it was squeezed to only a wide space of less than two meters. This greatly reduced Dida's defensive pressure. He even tried hard to defend Luke.

The volley reached a close angle while stretching out a leg.

Luke's eyes were so wide open that he didn't notice Pandiani and Victor running from the other side, as well as Belleron and Romero not far behind, rising less than 9 meters away from the goal.

Kick the door with your feet.

However, unexpectedly, the shot that was close at hand and the hasty kick did not go as hard as everyone expected. Instead, it shot up from the ground with a huge angle, almost a lob! And at this moment,

Dida was already half-lying on the ground, and it was too late to retract her legs and jump up.

3:0!

Luke opened his arms and ran past the lost Dida and the silent Kafu. He stared and roared, like a glider with a ferocious expression, flying freely on his Riazor.
