Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

After a long wait, it was 9:45 p.m. The referee blew the whistle to start this epic battle on time. In the stands below, fans from both sides were cheering for their home teams. Who could have thought that in the next 120 minutes, the two teams would make their fans' emotions reverse at two levels, and also jointly present the most exciting and bizarre final in the history of the Champions League. In fact, before the start of this game, or even before the start of the second half, the trend of the entire European football world believed that AC Milan could beat Liverpool. Some clues can be seen from the lineups of both sides. Ancelotti's lineup today is nothing short of luxurious. The forward line is Shevchenko and Crespo, who are at their peak, and behind them are Kaka, Pirlo, Seedorf and Gattuso. In the back line, Nesta and Stam are in the middle, Cafu and Maldini are on the wings, the goalkeeper is Brazilian Dida, and Rui Costa and Thomason are on the bench.

On the other hand, Benitez's Liverpool not only has bumps along the way, but also only Gerrard and Xabi Alonso can be regarded as world-class stars in the lineup.

Whether in terms of player fame or overall strength, AC Milan is far better than Liverpool.

So Florentino, who is basically completely neutral, will also think that AC Milan should win in the end.

But the progress of the game is exactly the same as the game in Li Shiguang's memory.

Less than a minute into the game, Kaka's breakthrough on the right caused Liverpool to commit a foul, giving AC Milan a good position for a set-piece, which AC Milan converted into a goal.

Pirlo kicked the ball out, and AC Milan's meritorious captain Maldini volleyed the ball near Liverpool's small penalty area and directly hit the goal guarded by Dudek, setting the fastest goal record in the Champions League final.

Less than a minute into the game, AC Milan led Liverpool 1-0.

After taking the lead, AC Milan did not stop there and still had the upper hand on the field.

Liverpool's side was in trouble. Kewell was injured in the 23rd minute of the game and was replaced by Smicer.

Later, Liverpool seized an opportunity. Luis Garcia broke into the penalty area. Nesta fell to the ground in defense and blocked the ball with his hand, but the referee believed that it was a passive handball, so no penalty was awarded.

But when Liverpool players were still asking the referee for a penalty, the experienced AC Milan immediately launched a counterattack. Pirlo passed the ball directly to Kaka, and then Kaka drove straight into the goal. Facing the siege of Liverpool's only three remaining defenders, Kaka passed the ball to Shevchenko. After Shevchenko broke into the penalty area, he passed the ball across the goal, and then Crespo was in position and easily kicked the ball into the goal. In the 39th minute, AC Milan changed the score to 2:0.

However, Liverpool's nightmare in the first half did not end.

Just before the end of the first half, Pirlo and Kaka connected again. Kaka received Pirlo's direct pass, turned around and passed Gerrard who came to defend, and then Kaka sent a wonderful through pass. Crespo faced Dudek alone and easily scored the ball into the goal.

Kaka accounted for at least 70% of Crespo's two goals. Two wonderful passes, vision and passing skills were stretched to the limit.

Before the first half was over, Liverpool was already 0:3 behind, as if they had fallen into the abyss.

As the referee blew the whistle to end the half, players from both sides entered the player tunnel one after another.

Shocked by Kaka's performance just now, Florentino arranged for his assistant to collect all his information in front of Li Shiguang.

After arranging things, Florentino turned around and said to Li Shiguang half-jokingly: "Li, it seems that you have made a mistake today. Liverpool has been defeated by AC Milan. I hope they don't lose the ball again in the second half."

But Li Shiguang raised his red wine glass with a strange smile, took a sip, and then said: "Mr. Perez, I don't think so. I know Liverpool's players. They will not be easily and completely defeated. I bet 100 euros that the final champion will still be Liverpool!"

Although Li Shiguang had thought before whether the outcome of this game would be affected by the arrival of this unknown number,

But from the first half, the wings of this little butterfly should not have been flapped from England to Istanbul. The final champion should still be Liverpool, who made a comeback.

Hearing Li Shiguang say this, Florentino found that he could not understand this young man from the East more and more. He really couldn't figure out how Liverpool could score 4 goals against AC Milan in the remaining 45 minutes with the current state and lineup. But he didn't mind playing with Li Shiguang, so he said, "Then I will also bet 100 euros that AC Milan will definitely be the final champion!"

But from the 53rd minute of the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed, and a miracle was born!

Riise made two consecutive crosses from the left and hoisted the ball into the penalty area of ​​AC Milan. After seeing the pass, Liverpool captain Gerrard jumped high and made a beautiful header near the penalty spot, tying the score to 3:1.

Liverpool also sounded the horn of counterattack.

Less than 3 minutes later, substitute Smicer used a long shot to penetrate Dida's goal again.

Liverpool scored two goals in 3 minutes and changed the score to 3:2.

But the counterattack was not over yet.

In the 60th minute of the game, Baros made a beautiful heel pass in the penalty area. Gerrard received the ball and was blocked by Gattuso in the penalty area. The referee did not hesitate to award a penalty.

Then the young Xabi Alonso took the penalty. Although the first shot was saved by Dida, he calmly followed up and scored the ball. Liverpool magically tied the score to 3:3.

When it was 3:1, Florentino still felt it was harmless.

When it was 3:2, he secretly cursed the AC Milan players for not living up to expectations.

After Alonso scored the goal, Florentino's eyes had changed when he looked at Li Shiguang. At this moment, Li Shiguang's figure seemed to be the incarnation of Jesus in his eyes!

Can this young man predict the future? Is it true that he is really good at the position of head coach as the media said? Otherwise, how to explain his previous statement that he understands Liverpool's players?

The subsequent game process did not change from the game in history.

The tenacious Liverpool dragged the game into a penalty shootout. Dudek saved Shevchenko's key shot. In the end, Liverpool defeated AC Milan 3:2 in the penalty shootout.

When Liverpool players and fans were celebrating wildly on the field.

Li Shiguang looked at Florentino with a mysterious smile and said, "Mr. Perez, thank you for the private room you provided me today. The 100 euros will be my rent."

Then he left the box in Florentino's admiring eyes.
