Barcelona's attack again failed to create a threat.
It was a long pass from the midfield and back, too forward, and Su Dong couldn't catch up.
The ball went directly out of the baseline, AC Milan's goal kick.
Dida placed the ball in the corner of the small penalty area, slowly retreated, and prepared to kick the ball.
After Su Dong glanced at the AC Milan goal, he followed the surrounding Milan defenders and walked back to the right.
At this time, near the halfway line, Barcelona's players and AC Milan's players had already begun to prepare.
There was only a muffled sound, and Dida quickly took the goal kick, which landed directly in the center circle toward the Barcelona half.
Marcos Senna quickly rushed up and competed with Gattuso for the first landing spot.
As a result, Gattuso headed the ball in the direction of Barcelona.
Su Dong immediately quickened his pace and ran forward.
Marcos Senna is indeed an excellent defensive midfielder, but he has a big flaw, which is his height.
Of course, this is actually a bit demanding. He must be able to take the ball and pass the ball, but also be able to run, cover, and grab. The requirements are already so high. If he is still forced to have height and confrontation, then Marcos...
Senna is incredible.
Edmilson does have height, but he is not as good as Marcos Senna in other aspects.
…
When Sudong ran to the midline, Shevchenko turned his back in the 30-meter area and used his chest to stop Gattuso's header. Barcelona defender Marcos blocked him with his body and desperately tried to kick the ball away.
Marcos Senna and Deco also returned to defense at the same time, and the three of them attacked Shevchenko.
The Ukrainian forward was surrounded by three people and passed the ball to Kaka next to him.
Kaka got the ball and moved forward quickly, but Deco followed immediately, preventing the Brazilian from directly entering the penalty area.
This is also where Barcelona has done best on the defensive end this season. The overall formation is relatively compact and orderly.
Kaká passed the ball to the right, and Stam, who was playing as a right back, was striding up the right wing. On the right side of the penalty area, after receiving Kaká’s pass, he made a direct pass.
Lifting the ball into the Barcelona penalty area.
After all, Stam is not a regular full-back, and the placement of the pass is not ideal. Inzaghi, who is connecting in the middle, and Puyol, who is guarding him, both took off at the same time, but they failed to grab the placement.
At the back point, left back Maldini inserted into the penalty area and went straight to where the ball landed.
Belletti followed the Milan captain tightly, and goalkeeper Valdez abandoned the goal and caught the ball.
…
When the entire San Siro stadium was filled with sighs of disappointment, Barcelona quickly threw the football away.
Valdes threw the ball to Belletti and quickly launched an attack.
AC Milan's two full-backs pressed forward, which resulted in a relatively large gap behind them.
Su Dong quickly reminded his teammates and signaled to speed up the counterattack.
Of course, this does not require teammates to pass the ball directly.
Blind long passes have no efficiency at all, so Belletti did not pass the ball directly, but moved the ball forward and quickly handed it to Iniesta.
AC Milan also knew that its defense line was too high, and the full-backs had not had time to return to their positions, so they directly organized a press at the front of Barcelona's 30-meter zone in an attempt to slow down Barcelona's counterattack.
Iniesta got the ball, was interfered by Seedorf, and immediately passed it back to Puyol.
Then it was passed to Marcos Senna and then back to Iniesta's feet.
At this time, Xiaobai had moved to the further right.
Following Barcelona's pass, Su Dong first ran to the right, which caused Nesta and Kaladze to follow Su Dong and move to the right. But soon, Su Dong reacted and immediately moved to the left.
.
Karadze stayed, and Nesta continued to follow Su Dong.
Messi retreated very deep and got the ball close to the right. Under the pressure of Maldini who returned to his position in time, Messi chose to dribble the ball laterally and quickly passed it to Iniesta.
.
At the moment of passing the ball, Messi gestured to his teammates to pass back to the center.
Iniesta understood the idea and directly hit the wall with a one-two, passing the ball to Messi's inward path.
After getting rid of Maldini, the Argentine teenager chased Iniesta's pass and looked up ahead.
Su Dong is already on the left side of the center circle of AC Milan's half.
Ronaldinho retreated deep and pulled Stam away. Nesta was the only one near Sudong.
Messi immediately secretly yelled: "Smart!"
This was definitely a conscious move by Su Dong, who wanted more long passes from his teammates.
Otherwise, he should have run over to respond at this time.
Messi understood this. After catching up with Iniesta's pass, he stopped the ball with his left foot, adjusted, and directly sent a long overhead pass.
The ball went over Nesta's head and landed in the 30-meter area of AC Milan's half, just to the left of the center.
Su Dong has been waiting for a long time. He knows his good friend very well.
When he saw Messi catching up with the ball, he immediately started.
Almost at the moment Messi passed the ball, Sudong passed by Nesta and went straight forward.
As the world's top central defender, Nesta is very experienced and has a very keen sense of smell. When he saw the cooperation of Messi and Iniesta, and Pirlo in front of him, he immediately reacted and turned back to defend as soon as possible.
.
I have to say that Nesta's reaction was really fast.
Messi's pass was headed towards Su Dong's route, but Nesta still almost caught up.
Sudong was at the front of AC Milan's penalty area, on the left side of the arc, and caught up with the ball first, but Nesta had already arrived and blocked Sudong's right front.
At this moment, Su Dong's reaction was that he was indeed Nesta!
But while stopping the ball, Su Dong stopped suddenly and stopped the ball directly behind Nesta with the outside instep of his right foot, trying to turn inside.
Nesta rushed over, but turned back immediately.
What's even worse is that Stam has also returned to defense in time, right behind Su Dong.
With Su Dong's inside move, he was about to be caught between the two top central defenders in the world, Nesta and Stam.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But just when everyone thought that AC Milan's two central defenders were about to complete the attack on Su Dong, Su Dong caught up with the ball on the left side of the top of the penalty area and used the heel of his right foot.
Knock the ball behind yourself.
The ball, which was originally going to the right, hit Su Dong's heel and immediately changed direction, going from behind Su Dong to the left.
After Su Dong stopped suddenly again, he stretched out his hands to block Nesta and Stam. He quickly adjusted himself and staggered to the left, almost losing his balance.
But at this time, Su Dong's strong and balanced physical fitness and Zidane's "immovable as a mountain" reflected their value.
Although he almost fell down, Sudong still caught up with the ball, put the ball into the penalty area with his left foot, rushed past Nesta, and stepped into the AC Milan penalty area, which made Nesta take a shot.
He didn't dare to make a move, so he could only use his body to fend off Su Dong.
But despite his physical strength, Su Dong is not afraid of anyone.
After a simple and rough collision, Su Dong dribbled the ball into the penalty area with his left foot.
Dida is also cooperating with Nesta's defense. The central defender is responsible for reducing Sudong's shooting angle, and the goalkeeper is responsible for guarding the goal.
But after Su Dong rushed into the penalty area, he immediately made a fake move with his left foot, as if he was going to kick off directly, which made Dida react quickly. Unexpectedly, Su Dong feinted a shot, adjusted with a small step, and hit again with his left foot!
The whole process from Messi's long pass to Su Dong catching up with the ball, continuous emergency stops and changes of direction, and the battle of wits with the two central defenders Nesta and Stam, all happened in two or three seconds, and there was not even a moment in between.
Any pauses and gasps.
When everyone reacted, they saw that Su Dong had already dribbled the ball into AC Milan's penalty area, to the left of the penalty spot. He first deceived Dida with a fake move, then adjusted his left foot before hitting.
The ball shot from Dida's side to the goal behind him in almost a straight line.
After taking the shot, Su Dong, who had just tried his best to complete a series of actions, was also a little exhausted.
But when he saw the ball pass under Dida and go directly into AC Milan's goal, he jumped up with excitement, roared, rushed directly to the sidelines, and kicked him down
He reached the corner flagpole, shook his fist and roared at the stands.
"The ball went in!!!"
"Su Dong!"
"He finally scored!"
"After five games without a goal, Su Dong finally scored again!"
"We saw that this was a very wonderful individual performance. Under the attack of AC Milan's two top central defenders in the world, Su Dong just made a sudden stop and changed direction to create a gap, and scored for Barcelona with his left foot."
"One to zero!"
All Barcelona players rushed towards Su Dong.
Messi was the first to bear the brunt. He jumped directly on Su Dong's body, dancing and shouting excitedly. He was even more excited and excited than if he scored the goal himself.
The other Barcelona players were also excited and gathered around Su Dong to celebrate.
Even Valdes in front of the goal jumped up high and roared loudly.
On the other hand, AC Milan's players were hit hard one by one, especially Nesta and Stam who bore the brunt.
The two central defenders joined forces and were actually scored by Su Dong.
Although this was because Su Dong had the advantage during the high-speed counterattack, they could not deny that Su Dong's goal was indeed a reflection of his personal strength.
Especially that heel knock.
"Through slow motion, we saw Su Dong knocking the ball with his heel on the left side of the top of the arc. It was full of imagination and very unbelievable."
"It's hard for us to believe that a high forward who is nearly two meters tall can actually display such delicate foot skills and be so imaginative. It's simply incredible."
"One to zero!"
"Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 76th minute."
"The situation will be very difficult for AC Milan now. Ancelotti needs to think carefully about the next game."
…
After a wild celebration, Barcelona quickly returned to the stadium.
The game is not over yet.
AC Milan will definitely fight back desperately, because this is already the second round and they have no choice.
After Su Dong scored, this game was destined to be a life-and-death game.
If AC Milan wants to win, it must reverse two goals.
