Chapter 280 The boy who plays football on a motorcycle (84/136)
While Ronaldinho was fully displaying his talent, AC Milan also got an opportunity to attack during this period.
But Shevchenko's single-handed ball was ruled offside, and Kaká's long-distance run missed again due to interference from Canizares.
They missed two good chances to score.
When some people reviewed the game after the game, they all thought that if Shevchenko's ball had not been offside, and if Kaka's long-distance shot had been more accurate, the final result might have been completely different.
But there are so many ifs in a football game?
If you lose it, you lose it.
And you will pay the price for your extravagance!
After shrinking their defense, AC Milan's midfield gradually lost ground. Although their midfield included Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo and Kaká, they did not perform very well under the influence of conceding the ball in five minutes.
.
Now looking back at Villa's goal, we can see how important it was.
He was like a blow to the murderous AC Milan! He directly knocked out the AC Milan generals who felt good about themselves, and they still haven't reacted yet.
In the 35th minute, Valencia launched an attack from the wing. Villa pulled to the wing to cross the ball. The football drew an arc and AC Milan goalkeeper Dida attacked! He wanted to intercept the ball directly from the air.
!
But when Dida, who was 1.96 meters tall, jumped high into the air, his outstretched hand did not catch the football...the football passed over his fingertips!
Missed!
Somewhat surprised, Dida turned his head and looked behind him. He was horrified to find that Valencia player Deco was rushing over, and then he jumped... to the top!
※※※
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Deco! Deco! Deco!!! Valencia led AC Milan 2:0! The total score was tied at 2:3! Valencia was only one goal behind! From three goals behind
It only took Valencia 30 minutes to fall behind by one goal!!" When Deco pushed the football into the empty goal, the commentator on Spanish TV went crazy because he realized that he might be witnessing a miracle.
Birth!
"Amazing! It looks like they have hope! They have hope!"
The commentator's roar was quickly drowned out by the huge cheers that erupted from the Mestalla Stadium.
Valencia fans are also convinced that their team is really likely to make a comeback at home!
At this time, the team needs their support and their cheers with the loudest voice!
The whole audience shouted: "CHE! CHE! CHE!!!"
This is Valencia's nickname.
※※※
Chang Sheng raised his right fist to the sky when Deco pushed the football into the empty goal.
Come on, now is the time to witness the miracle!
He seemed relatively calm, but no one around him could remain calm.
Although they are still behind in the total score, what does being behind by one goal mean to today's Valencia team?
They hugged and roared as if they had won the game.
The Valencia players on the court were also celebrating wildly.
Deco was dragged to the ground by Ronaldinho as soon as he got up from the ground. Then Albelda, Reyes, Villa and others rushed over and pressed him to the ground.
The whole Mestalla felt like an earthquake, the floor was shaking.
Not a single Valencia fan cheered the team's wonderful performance.
The expression on Soler's face became even more embarrassed.
It stands to reason that he should cheer for the team's second goal, because it means that his team has the hope of overturning AC Milan in the Champions League in China. But it is impossible for him to cheer for a long-term victory.
But wouldn't he look weird if he didn't cheer?
The people around me were cheering. They are shareholders and directors of Valencia Club.
Especially Jaime Otti, who cheered the loudest, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't hear.
As the club president, it is only right to cheer for the team's outstanding performance.
If he doesn't sit down, it will arouse suspicion.
In desperation, Soler could only stand up and applaud without smiling.
Seeing him applaud, manager Sanchez also stood up and applauded.
It's just that the expressions of both of them are not very good-looking.
※※※
The whole Mestalla was cheering, and Galliani felt even more uncomfortable.
He felt as if he was sitting on the crater of an erupting volcano, and his buttocks were already burning red.
He moved his butt uncomfortably, but this did not help him get rid of this feeling.
AC Milan's advantage is only one goal.
The ominous premonition grew stronger in his mind.
Are we going to be eliminated here?
What seemed so funny before the game made Galliani unable to laugh at all now.
A layer of sweat broke out on his back.
※※※
Valencia's goal put AC Milan into chaos.
Is it defense or offense?
Players have different opinions, and coach Ancelotti doesn't have a definite idea.
If they defend, if they hold on to this lead, AC Milan can still advance. But if they defend for only thirty-five minutes, can they defend until the end of the game? Didn’t AC Milan also play defensive counterattacks before, paying great attention to them?
After defending, didn't Valencia still score the second goal?
There are now more than fifty minutes left before the end of the game, and the AC Milan players themselves do not believe that they can guarantee not conceding a goal when facing Valencia's attack.
Valencia's morale has obviously improved, and now it has become very difficult to stop them with defense.
What if they don't defend and choose to attack? As long as they can score, they can reopen the score gap, and they also have an away goal. In this way, even if Valencia scores two goals in a row at the end, the total score will be tied at 4:
4, it doesn’t help, AC Milan can eliminate Valencia with the advantage of away goals.
After thinking about it, offense is better than defense.
The AC Milan players looked at the coach on the sidelines.
Ancelotti's face, which looks like Coach Anxi's, is constantly changing.
It was like the hard disk light was flashing. When his expression was fixed, he finally made a decision.
attack!
Pressing style of attack!
Fighting with Valencia to attack, he made a desperate move!
※※※
When the game restarted, a vigorous battle began between Valencia and AC Milan!
In the 38th minute, Baraja tackled Tomasson, and the Dane came out for treatment. Gattuso took a free kick, Pirlo stepped on it, and Seedorf lowered his right foot 25 meters in front of the goal.
The shot went wide of the left goal post.
Two minutes later, in the 39th minute, Seedorf's long shot from a small angle on the left almost caused Canizares to miss.
In the 42nd minute, Valencia launched an attack, and Ronaldinho missed the goal ten meters in front of the goal.
In the 44th minute, Pirlo passed a free kick from the left to the penalty area. With the combination of Changsheng's defensive tactics of creating offsides and the "offside trap" game skills, Shevchenko was offside again.
While Shevchenko was still complaining to the linesman that he was not offside, Valencia had already launched a quick attack.
Carvalho did not wait for goalkeeper Canizares to come up and kick the football into the frontcourt, but passed the football straight up.
"Valencia will serve a free kick quickly..." In fact, the commentator himself did not expect that this free kick in the backcourt was so quick.
But Valencia soon gave them the answer!
I saw Valencia passing the ball quickly and quickly passed the midfield. Their method of passing through the midfield was not a direct big-foot pass, but the speed was still very fast, and the accuracy was higher than direct long-footed passes.
!
When Deco got the ball, he sent a direct pass from the center to the right.
Gattuso originally planned to destroy it, but he made a mistake in judging the flight trajectory of the football, causing him to miss it.
Reyes easily unloaded the football and then headed towards the penalty area in one line!
"Reyes! Reyes!! He received the ball! This is a great opportunity for Valencia's attack... Are we going to score again?!"
It was Maldini who appeared in front of Reyes.
Reyes saw the thirty-five-year-old veteran and remembered the key points of the tactical arrangements written by Chang Sheng on that piece of paper.
He asked Reyes to cut inside more during the game and focus on attacking the joint between Pancaro and Maldini. Sure enough, he tried to show off his skills as little as possible and use speed more. This seemed to have no technical content.
But it’s actually a very useful technique.
Because these two people are not young, whether it is reaction speed, turning speed, or absolute speed, they are no match for Reyes, who is "playing football on a motorcycle"!
Reyes's eyes lit up when he thought of this, and like a motorcycle being started, the headlights turned on and he found a straight path.
While dribbling the ball at a constant speed, Reyes suddenly accelerated towards the ribs of the penalty area.
"Reyes! Reyes! Reyes Reyes Reyes... Reyes!!!"
With the commentator yelling like a machine gun, Reyes, who was running at high speed, kicked the football out!
This time was different from the previous two times. He traveled very far this time, allowing the football to pass between Maldini and Pancaro first.
Then he accelerated!
Squeeze through the rapidly closing gap!
※※※
When Maldini saw Reyes speeding up, he realized what the opponent was going to do. This belongs to the category of experience.
But he knows what the other party is going to do, but that doesn't mean he has a way, because it belongs to the physical category.
His speed could no longer keep up.
But he didn't give up, but still moved closer to Pancaro. He couldn't stop the ball, but this man... must be stopped! Even if it's a foul!
Now he and the opponent are still outside the penalty area. Even if there is a foul, it is just a free kick closer to the penalty area line.
Is it better than letting the other party face Dida directly?
Dida is a goalkeeper with excellent goal-line skills, but his weaknesses are also obvious, that is, his control range is not large, he is not good at attacking, and he seems powerless to deal with one-on-one balls.
If you think about your teammates, you can’t let people and the ball pass by!
※※※
Reyes had an illusion. He didn't feel that he was breaking through his opponent on the court, but more like he was escaping from a spaceship that was about to be completely blown up. The fighter plane he was piloting had to escape before the door closed.
And now the gap that means survival is showing little by little.
If he couldn't escape before the gate closed, he would die here. Not by being blown up, but by being hit head on!
Any tricks are useless now.
The only way is to desperately increase your speed, third gear, fourth gear, fifth gear...and then rush forward in a straight line!
speed!
This is the fighting style Reyes excels at.
※※※
Maldini felt that he should be able to block the opponent. Even if he and Pancaro didn't have time to fully close up, he could still reach out and pull, which was a foul...
But he found that he had misjudged the young man's speed.
When he thought he had enough time, Reyes had already appeared in front of him!
In shock, he hurriedly reached out to pull it, hoping to foul it.
He grabbed Reyes' clothes, but only a little. Before he even had time to tighten his grip, he felt a great force pulling the other person away from his hands!
"Reyes—!!!"
With the commentator roaring, Reyes slipped between Maldini and Pancaro!
He broke through!
"He entered the penalty area! Caught up with the football! Single shot!"
※※※
Dida was slow to attack. He didn't expect Reyes to be so fast. When he just ran out, Reyes had already caught up with the football. He had to fall to the ground, open his arms, and expand himself as much as possible.
The defensive area is large, hoping to block Reyes' shot.
Not to mention, when the 1.96 meter tall man fell down and stretched out his hands, it was indeed like a wall, giving people a sense of oppression.
But this kind of pressure is of no use to Reyes.
Reyes was seen raising his left leg as if he was about to shoot, but when he lowered it, it became extremely gentle...
"Spoon!!!" The Italian commentator's voice was filled with panic!
Coming from Italy, he knows best what Reyes's action means...
That is the spoon lob that is particularly popular in Serie A!
Sure enough, the football was gently picked up by Reyes, not very fast, but it passed Dida who fell on the ground.
Dida could only watch as the football crashed towards the goal behind him.
