Section 173 The Miracle of Riasso (Act 4: The Line of Life and Death)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The brave Luke, with an almost incredible shot, kicked the arrogant Milanese into the abyss and also kicked off the throne!

This goal perfectly reflected his worth. In these 45 minutes, he completely implemented the will of the Basque people, running desperately, attacking at any cost, and finally exhausted Cafu's energy and physical strength. When the referee blew the whistle,

When the half-time whistle blew, except for the Deportivo fans who almost kept shouting "Ahhh" as always, all the reporters, club officials, UEFA officials and even the referee were at a loss.

Even the head coaches of both the host and the away teams were at a loss.

This is such an unbelievable fact!

From 1:4 to 3:0, Deportivo not only achieved a balance on goal difference, but also was about to eliminate the previous champion with an away goal!

Only then did many people, including Milan people, remember that the Deportivo La Coruna team in front of them was not as weak as it seemed on the surface, because they had eliminated Juventus in the previous round! And Juventus happened to be in the Champions League final last season.

Another team, even they fought with AC Milan for a full 120 minutes, but finally lost to this Milan team in a penalty shootout due to fate.

Is it weird to eliminate a runner-up first, and then a champion who is equally powerful? Is it weird? Why are Milanese people so proud?

This is the question represented by Luke’s angry expression as he soars with open arms after the goal. It is also the question that the entire Depor team issues to the Milanese!

Kill the runner-up and then the champion, this is the "giant killer"!

Until this moment, most of the Chinese media who should be neutral but involuntarily supported Milan, only belatedly remembered that this team was nicknamed by the Spanish media - "Super Depor"! Until this moment,

Only then did Milan remember that they should not long for the Champions League encounter with Real Madrid, but should face up to this small club in a fishing port.

No matter how luxurious the Galacticos were, they were overwhelmed by the team in front of them. With only seven games left in La Liga, this small club led the second place by a disappointing 11 points!

In other words, Deco is the strongest player in the Iberian Peninsula!

The strongest in Serie A is against the strongest in La Liga. How dare you underestimate the opponent? How dare you only look at Real Madrid, who is third, and not Depor, who is first?

What's even more worrying is that Depor's "king" is still sitting on the bench without moving!

In the 15 minutes of the midfield, both sides were anxious. The Milan people were understandably anxious, they almost panicked. And Deportivo also began to worry about gains and losses. Before the game, these 90 minutes were almost regarded as a "battle of honor"

", but when the hope of advancement suddenly appeared, Deportivo began to feel at a loss.

After all, that is Milan, which has been famous all over the world for decades! The offensive power they possess is very realistic. If they score one goal in the second half, then Deportivo must score two goals if they want to advance! And they scored two goals, Laco

Coe must score three more goals! That is Milan, which has almost the best defense in the world!

In fact, the three goals in the first half were all accidental and difficult to replicate in the second half. Pandiani's sudden escape left Maldini unprepared. He quickly turned around and scored another goal with extremely technical content. Even Pandiani

It was a shot that even Nigeria could not guarantee would be repeated. Belleron's goal was caused by Luke's accidental pass under pressure, which led to Dida's mistake. In the end, Luke's goal had a higher technical content.

: While running fast, under the impact of the world's strongest right back, in a shooting angle that is only one meter wide, and under the full attention of the world's best goalie, he rolled the ball extremely calmly without any warning.

Pick it up.

Luke can't say he can recreate it 100%.

So in the second half, what should we do when we face the inevitable crazy counterattack by the Milanese?

These 15 minutes were a matter of life and death for both sides. Milan, which had a huge lead and was in almost no danger, was on the verge of life and death. Deportivo, who was originally destined for death, bucked the trend and reached a life and death moment. In the end, it was a matter of promotion.

Or eliminated? Ancelotti and Irueta are nervously arranging their formations.

Ancelotti has two aces in his hand, named Inzaghi and Rui Costa, but one is injured and the other is in poor physical condition; Irueta also has two aces in his hand, named Forlan and Wang.

Ai, but the physical resistance is relatively poor.

Who should be played? How should it be played? This is not only anxious for the coaches of both sides, but also for the clubs of both sides. It is also the fans and media from the outside world who are even thousands of miles away. Chinese fans and media who can't sleep at three or four o'clock in the morning

The heart is itching and unbearable.

At 21:13, the game between the two sides resumed. As expected, the Milanese started a crazy counterattack. At this time, Irueta was fully prepared for the game. Finally, after the offensive arrangement in the first half was successful, the power of the defensive end was also revealed.

, Pirlo almost told Sergio that there was nothing he could do to defend. And the handsome boy Kaka, under the care of fellow countryman and veteran Mauro Silva, also lost his sharpest chance of a frontal breakthrough.

AC Milan's counterattack was fierce, but also chaotic.

Deportivo inevitably made some contractions. The tense game situation and worries about the upcoming promotion caused a rare roar among the Depor players, who have always been united and gentle: Belleron was out of position in defense once, which led to

Central defender Andrade criticized.

Belleron, who has always been calm and elegant, was also a little anxious, but when faced with the accusations from his teammates, he did not yell back, nor did he admit his mistake. Instead, he wore a weird smile, widened his eyes, and turned away as if no one was around. He walked away.

You know, my teammate is too nervous and nothing he can say at this time is good.

Facing Milan's striker Shevchenko, Naibert and Andrade, who yelled at Belleron, showed a high degree of tacit understanding. In the one-hour game, they used the offside trap to trap Sheva five times! Every time

Sheva was fully focused and had to give up halfway when trying to hit the goal with passion. The "Ukrainian Nuclear Warhead" inevitably misfired, and it was not even as good as Thomasson's performance.

Milan's attack was urgent and varied, but Deportivo used the small coordination that the Milanese were good at in the past. The game that should have been one-sided turned out to be a dramatic balance of power.

It can also be said that the real start of this game is in the second half.

In the 60th minute of the game, the first substitution point came. The coaches of both sides picked up the trump card in their hands. Ancelotti first replaced Seedorf, who was active but with declining physical fitness, with Serginho, and then called

After passing Inzaghi, he hesitated and chose to keep Sheva, who was more favored by the boss, between Thomason and Sheva.

At the same time, Irueta also picked up the card in his hand. Luke had already fought hard to kill Cafu and overfulfilled the task. It was time for him to come down and rest. Belleron's defensive mistake just now showed that his physical fitness was also improving.

It's on the verge of danger, so who should be replaced? Who should be replaced?
