Zanetti suddenly dribbled the ball forward, which was indeed beyond the expectations of the Barcelona players.
Yaya Toure is interfering on one side, while Marcos is waiting for an opportunity to make a move on the other side. Yaya Toure is not afraid of Zanetti's long shots, not to mention that Zanetti himself is not good at long shots. As long as Zanetti takes a shot,
That's a good time for them to steal the ball, so as long as they stay close to Zanetti and wait for the opportunity to steal the ball, Inter Milan's attack will end here... Not only that, Zanetti is currently playing as a defensive midfielder.
Position, if they can steal Zanetti's ball, Barcelona can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and even catch Inter Milan off guard.
Zanetti is still dribbling the ball.
At this time, in front, Mata and Arshavin were running to respond. They ran to the two wings and pulled out the center.
Abidal and Gianluca Zambrotta could only move with these two people. However, they saw that Zanetti had Yaya Toure and Marcos teaming up to defend, so they were not worried about Zanetti's ability in the middle.
If there is any threat, we should be careful about Zanetti's separation.
In the middle, Adriano was cutting and ready to meet Zanetti. Gabriel Milito, who had returned, quickly ran over to mark Adriano. This Brazilian was a big threat.
***********
Zanetti still had no intention of passing the ball. He continued to dribble forward and kept entangled with Yaya Toure and Marcos while running to prevent the football under his feet from being intercepted by them.
Although the old captain of Inter Milan is already thirty-four years old, he lives a very regular life. He does not smoke or drink, has a standardized diet, and has serious training rules. Both his physical condition and competitive condition are maintained very well. Therefore, he is like this
Although it was a bit difficult to dribble the ball when being double-teamed by two people, there was no chance for Yaya Toure and Marcos to steal the ball.
Yaya Toure was a little surprised. He didn't expect this Argentine veteran to be so tenacious. At this time, Zanetti suddenly accelerated again. Yaya Toure subconsciously looked up and looked ahead. Then the Ivory Coast star was shocked: ahead
It's the restricted area! They actually kept entangled to the edge of the restricted area!
Oops!
Yaya Toure was shocked. He understood that he had been fooled. Zanetti's sudden advance this time was not for a long shot or a pass. He was trying to 'go straight to the yellow dragon'.
Although Yaya Toure also knows Zanetti and knows that this is not a player who can "walk a thousand miles alone", but no matter what, if Zanetti dribbles the ball into the penalty area, it is a threat, a big threat!
If something happens in the restricted area, it will be too late to regret it!
***********
Zanetti dribbles the ball very well. Yaya Toure knows that it is not easy to steal the ball, otherwise he would have intercepted the ball long ago. At this time, the only choice he can make is to foul...
Yaya Toure was shocked. He knew that he had to foul decisively. There was a penalty area in front of him. If he didn't foul, it would be too late!
Yaya Toure no longer hesitated, he leaned back and shoveled out with his right foot. Almost at the same time, Marcos also realized the crisis and knew that a foul was necessary. Marcos decisively pushed Zanetti from behind.
Zanetti suddenly accelerated just now. The experienced Inter Milan captain had obviously guessed that Yaya Toure would commit a desperate tactical foul at this time. Therefore, almost at the same time as Yaya Toure made the shovel, Zanetti
Pushing the football forward, he leaned forward and suddenly picked up speed again.
Just this time to poke the ball and increase the speed, Yaya Toure's tackle from behind was not able to make a solid tackle, but only rubbed Zanetti's ankle.
The thirty-four-year-old veteran dribbled the ball forward for such a long distance while being double-teamed by two people. Zanetti's physical fitness reached its limit. Originally, with Yaya Toure's tackle, Zanetti might have collapsed.
However, almost at the same time, Marcos pushed from behind, which created a push that made Zanetti's body jump forward...
In an almost impossible situation, the captain of Inter Milan actually escaped the foul of the two defenders who had been entangled with him, and he entered the penalty area!
***********
"Ture shovels! Marcos! It's over!" Ferrari roared suddenly, shouting with an incredible expression and tone, "Going in! Entering the penalty area! Zanetti! Zanetti! Zanetti!"
Rossi's eyes also widened. He even stood up from the commentary box and roared, "Zanetti! Zanetti! What did I see? I seemed to see the Zanetti who just came to Inter Milan back then!"
The young Argentinian Zanetti with a green face!”
The referee Stark had already put the whistle in his mouth, but seeing that Zanetti did not fall, he was naturally happy not to blow the whistle. Anyway, the offense was beneficial, this was allowed by the rules, and Inter Milan people could not say anything.
Although he broke through and entered the penalty area, Zanetti's physical fitness reached the limit at this time, and due to the previous foul actions of the two, his center of gravity was unstable at this time, his steps were staggering, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
If the camera is zoomed in, you can see the expression of the 34-year-old veteran at this time. He is gritting his teeth with a ferocious expression, as if he is trying to use his last bit of strength to continue moving forward!
Forward!
His goal is the goal in front!
Perhaps, at this moment, this extremely tired veteran has no other thoughts in his mind. He just wants to keep moving forward and get closer!
***********
"Closer! Closer!" Zanetti's eyes were bloodshot. He didn't make up his mind to dribble the ball straight to Huanglong at first. This was not his strong point. However, he had already advanced to this step and all he could think about was shooting.
Only scoring goals, shooting is not his strong point, he has to get closer to the goal, and then strive for a chance to shoot!
He was almost crumbling and about to fall, but Javier Zanetti was swaying like this and finally did not fall to the ground. He knew that as long as he fell, he would lose control of the football!
Valdes was stunned. He never thought that the old Argentine guy would stumble all the way with the ball and finally enter the penalty area!
Valdes was hesitating at this time. He was hesitating whether to attack, or to block the angle, or to hope that Zanetti would not have the strength to fall to the ground.
Valdes finally decided to attack, he didn't dare to take a gamble.
Just when Valdes finally decided to attack and just rushed out of the goal... Zanetti took the final step!
The thirty-four-year-old veteran finally took a step forward and caught up with the football. Although he staggered and might fall down at any time, this did not prevent him from raising his foot to shoot...
His right foot suddenly hit the football!
This is a shot that uses the last strength of the body!
After the shot, the veteran even turned around and collapsed on the ground!
***********
After this volley with all his strength, the football suddenly jumped up and flew past the attacking Valdez.
The Barcelona goalkeeper waved subconsciously, but the ball was too fast and he didn't touch the football at all. His wave seemed to be saying goodbye to the football and Barcelona's hope of a comeback!
Then, Valdez heard a 'bang' sound!
He was overjoyed!
He turned to look!
I was horrified to see the football hit the inside of the goalpost and then bounce into the net!
Then, as if all his thoughts and energy had been drained away, Valdez's eyes were filled with despair. He turned his head and saw the eyes of the exhausted old guy who was still lying on the ground.
What kind of eyes are they? There is weakness, fatigue, unwillingness, expectation, and desire, and then at this moment, they all turn into one emotion: satisfaction!
He even suspected that he heard the veteran sigh with satisfaction before turning over and lying in front of the door.
***********
April 24, 2008, Barcelona, Camp Nou.
At 22:21 pm local time in Spain, the 76th minute of the game.
Thirty-four-year-old Javier Zanetti scored.
The thirty-four-year-old veteran was lying in front of Barcelona's goal. He opened his eyes and saw the stars in the Camp Nou stadium.
Then, he saw the crazy and excited faces of his teammates...
They shouted in his ears, 'Captain!'
'team leader'!
team leader!
Leader of the team!
The soul of a team!
It's for the captain!
