Midfielder

Chapter 389

When the attacker and the defender meet, the attacker always has the initiative, just like Kaka's past the defender just now. In the shortest distance, he used his explosive power and speed to shake off the two defenders and made a very beautiful pass.

This pass was low and flat, and the speed was extremely fast. Kaka didn't seem to be passing the ball at that moment, but more like he was trying his best to shoot. It was impossible to stop the ball.

Although Terry had stretched out his foot, his reaction was still a beat slower than the speed of the ball.

In fact, the defender was most afraid of facing this kind of pass, especially the clearance player in front of the goal. He didn't dare to kick easily. If he was not careful, he could cause an own goal, which was the most embarrassing thing.

At this moment, Carvalho faced such a choice. Don't defend? He knew that Shevchenko was next to him.

Defend? At such a close distance, even Carvalho, who had experienced a Champions League final, was a little unsure of where the ball would hit at this moment. Maybe it was an own goal.

But the speed of the football was too fast, and it was impossible for Carvalho to have any chance to think.

And Shevchenko had already jumped out behind Carvalho. This guy pushed the ground hard, and the explosive power of his body burst out at this moment. He stretched his feet and shoveled the football fiercely.

In this situation, facing Shevchenko's fierce shovel shot was really the most entangled confrontation for Carvalho as a defender. There is no need to elaborate on the impact of the Ukrainian. It is estimated that many Serie A defenders have suffered from him. Now it is Carvalho's turn to try this feeling.

Such a pass has already made Carvalho very uncomfortable, and now he has to guard against the opponent's sneak attack.

The two guys rushed to the landing point of Kaka's pass almost at the same time, but Carvalho was ready to kick the ball away, while Shevchenko wanted to sweep the ball into the net. Mourinho stood on the sidelines and looked at the big screen. The shot he saw was Shevchenko's toes that had already touched the football first.

The Ukrainian's sprinting ability allowed him to tackle the ball before Carvalho at the last moment. Carvalho's heart must have been extremely cold at this moment, but he could only stretch his toes as much as possible.

Perhaps at this time, he could only rely on this method to interfere with the accuracy of the opponent's kick. This is the only thing Carvalho can do now, but he is probably not sure how much effect it will have.

Shevchenko's right foot kicked the football so hard, really kicked, without any hesitation. Facing such a shooting opportunity, he, as the team's number one killer, would definitely not miss it.

Only four or five meters away from the goal, such a shot is not a sure thing, but Shevchenko is 80% sure to break through Cech's ten fingers, which is also to prove himself as the number one shooter.

Shevchenko, who only had two shooting opportunities in the first half, is now holding his breath to prove his worth. He has not forgotten the crazy boos he heard before entering the locker room.

In particular, some English people shouted at him loudly, "Stay in your Milan! We don't need a striker who can't score, we have Drogba! We have Lin Yi!"

This kind of shouting and shouting has always annoyed Shevchenko, especially when many people began to discuss his future whereabouts, the Ukrainian seemed to use his perfect performance on the court to calm all disputes.

Yes, Kenyon and Abramovich did invite him, and the conditions were indeed more attractive than the renewal conditions offered by AC Milan, but Shevchenko did not nod in agreement.

Although his wife and children wanted to go to London, and as his compatriot, Abramovich also offered a contract that was enough to meet his worth, the Ukrainian did not agree at the first time, but the idea of ​​transfer had indeed gradually formed in his mind.

After all, he is still very clear now that he is a member of the AC Milan team, and he has made a name for himself here. Even if he leaves, he hopes to leave with more glory, rather than retreating from here in disgrace.

Besides, Milan is still negotiating with him about the contract renewal, so the future is just an unknown. Hearing the unfriendly roars from the English really made Shevchenko very unhappy.

So before the start of the second half, Shevchenko had been holding his breath and must score! Especially in the recent league and Champions League games, when his condition was not very good, the Ukrainian wanted to use the goals in important games to prove that the "nuclear warhead" is still an indestructible weapon!

But the Czech standing in front of the goal did not intend to let Shevchenko penetrate his ten fingers. His height of more than 1.9 meters was lowering his center of gravity at the fastest speed and completing the sideways save.

It is hard to imagine that a big man would be so flexible, but Cech let Dida, who was standing in front of another goal, also see his magical reaction. He almost stretched out his hands accurately at the moment when Shevchenko shoveled his foot and blocked the forward path of the football.

The reason why Cech can maintain a record of more than 700 minutes without being scored by opponents in the Premier League is that this guy has a very fast reaction speed in close combat and can often predict the path of the ball in advance.

A standard side dive, a perfect rescue. Cech's sideways body stopped Shevchenko's dangerous shovel shot at the last moment. The Czech's big hands pushed outwards with force. Under the force of his hands, the football instantly moved away from the goal line and rolled directly to the bottom line.

Even Shevchenko probably didn't expect the Czech's reaction to be so fast. His shot was tricky enough, but such a tricky angle still couldn't escape Cech's big hands.

Even Sacchi held his head tightly with both hands when he saw this scene. Maybe this guy didn't believe how Cech, a guy who just emerged in the Premier League, could have such a magical performance.

"Perfect save. If we evaluate first-class goalkeepers now, this Czech's performance can be ranked among the world's top, although his personal achievements are not as good as Kahn and Buffon."

It is estimated that when Sacchi sees such a save now, he will definitely remember that when he led AC Milan, behind Baresi and others, there was also such a goalkeeper who could block all the opponent's shots.

At this moment, those English fans really wanted to roar wildly for Cech's perfect performance, including Lineker and Shearer in the broadcast booth, who clenched their fists at the same time, as if ready to cheer, but at this moment, they couldn't make the cheers burst out of their throats.

"It's saved!" Maybe Cech, who was lying on the grass, was cheering for his successful save, because even he didn't know if he could save Shevchenko's shot, but all he heard was Carvalho's roar not far in front of him, "Stop that guy!"

When Cech raised his head, he didn't see the football rolling out of the baseline, but a shot whizzing towards him. The damn football didn't go out of the baseline, but flew towards the net again with a threat. At this moment, Cech could only raise his hands as much as possible, trying to save everything again.

But God didn't give the Czechs a second chance to be heroes. The damn football brushed Cech's fingertips and whizzed into the net. Cech had only one thought at this moment, this damn shot! Damn it! The opponent played a standard time difference and didn't give himself a chance to save the ball! Damn it!

The cheers that were about to burst out stopped abruptly at this moment. All the fans in England could only stare blankly at the football that was still rolling in the net, and the thin figure that had already started to rush towards the AC Milan coaching bench. That was the back of a standard assassin.

Now everyone's eyes may be on the man running towards Ancelotti. That figure may not be strong, but now he is enough to make everyone remember what he just did.

Inzaghi, the thin man who was replaced by Ancelotti for less than two minutes, once again used his shot to tell those who commented on him in front of all the fans watching the game what a standard killer in front of the goal is, and what kind of performance is worthy of the title of the king of the penalty area!

At this moment, Inzaghi's expression was absolutely crazy. He almost ran nearly 50 meters in one breath. He rushed to the side of the bench and yelled wildly at his teammates.

Such a thin guy could burst out with such passion at this moment, which may not have been expected by everyone, but he was just so crazy, venting wildly for his own goal.

On the big screen of the stadium, the scene of the goal just now was being replayed. Its process was so fast that people almost ignored that it took Inzaghi less than three seconds from shooting to the final goal.

An absolute blitzkrieg, whether it was Kaka's pass or Shevchenko's shot, it was the same, but the last fatal lightning was still the last shot completed by this thin man.

Accurate, fatal, and without any fancy. If anyone can comment on it, then Inzaghi's shot is so irresistible that you can only watch the football roll into the net.

Mourinho saw everything clearly on the sidelines. Maybe Cech didn't know what happened just now, but Mourinho knew that he was ready to applaud the guy's performance after Cech saved Shevchenko's shot, but then he saw a figure flashing in the penalty area.

Maybe Inzaghi's 100-meter speed in normal tests is not as fast as Cech's, but at that moment, this guy just rushed into the weakest part of Chelsea's defense like a flash of lightning.

It is estimated that even the fans at the scene just now did not see clearly when Inzaghi entered the penalty area. This guy is sometimes like a ghostly shadow, always appearing and disappearing like a ghost, confusing people.

No one can see clearly when he approached the goal. Only the TV broadcast can replay everything that happened at that moment. At the moment when Cech saved the ball, Inzaghi was one step faster than everyone else. He stood near the point where the ball was saved and waited for a shot.

This is a natural killer's sense of smell, because no one knows where Cech saved the ball.

But Inzaghi seems to be able to capture that kind of subtle things, not only sharp, but also accurate.

It was as if Cech had just put the ball at his feet. It all seemed like a coordination drill, waiting for Inzaghi to shoot the ball. Maybe his shooting posture was not beautiful at that moment, and even because he sprinted too hard, the guy's steps were a little staggering.

But it was such a guy who had not adjusted his body's center of gravity, but he completed the shot in the most direct way. The angle of the shot was not tricky. If Cech was still standing in front of the goal, it would have no chance to get into the net. But such a simple action was very practical.

This is Inzaghi, a natural killer. He used his sensitive blow to tear open Cech's ten fingers, and then everyone was watching this thin guy celebrating wildly on the sidelines.

Inzaghi was really excited, because this season might be the most depressing season since he played professional football. Injuries and many things off the field distracted him, including his increasing age.

Injuries were already enough to upset him. Missing half of the games in a season was a painful torture for Inzaghi, who was born to like to stand on the front line and give his opponent a fatal blow.

And this season Inzaghi not only had to face injuries, but also had to face Crespo's impact. The hotter the Argentine's performance, the more embarrassing Inzaghi's situation in the team.

Even many media are commenting on whether this king of the penalty area who once worked seamlessly with Shevchenko is old, or whether his sense of smell in front of the goal is no longer sensitive?

Many Italian media are advocating a statement that they believe that AC Milan's forward line should be replaced now. Although Inzaghi's performance was brilliant, he has passed his peak.

There are not just one or two people who say this, but many, many people say that the injury-ridden Inzaghi is likely to follow in Rossi's footsteps and gradually start to stay away from the top league.

Especially for shooters like them who survive in the penalty area, if they have too many injuries, it will inevitably affect their performance, and Crespo's strong performance this season is obviously a good replacement.

Many people have begun to encourage Galliani to sign the Argentine, and Inzaghi is now just a shooter who is about to be forgotten. After all, he has only contributed less than ten goals to the team this season.

This kind of speech is actually very hurtful, especially for Inzaghi. He can return at the end of the season to prove himself, but the damn reality is often very cruel.

In the few games that Inzaghi played, he only scored one goal, and the team lost to Juventus in the championship battle, which made many people begin to doubt Inzaghi's personal ability.

Maybe he was once very brilliant in Milan, but his current performance has made many people dissatisfied, including the club's top management, and there have been various news about replacing or selling Inzaghi.

Including Ancelotti, who has always supported Inzaghi, also chose Crespo before the Champions League final.

For a veteran who has been through many battles, he can only endure these things, wait for opportunities, and strive for an opportunity to prove himself, and the Champions League final is the best place.

You can't blame this guy for celebrating wildly. If you have experienced his depression, then you will understand his outburst. Inzaghi used a roar to tell those people, never doubt whether I can still score!

This was the roar of a veteran, and even Mourinho felt the impact of the roar on the sidelines.

The equalized score, the bad start of the second half, the silence of the English fans and the cheers of the Italians formed a sharp contrast, and Mourinho and Ancelotti also reversed their expressions this time.

The good guy also waved his fist, and he even rushed to the sidelines to hug the roaring Inzaghi.

Mourinho was much quieter, but his eyes did not stay on the opponent for too long. He was thinking, thinking about the current tactical changes of AC Milan. The opponent has begun to fight for his life.

This is probably Mourinho's most intuitive experience. Unlike the blitzkrieg in the first half, in the short two minutes just now, Mourinho has seen the opponent's tactical intention to press forward.

Obviously, the fat man An had already told the players during the halftime break that they must rush in the second half, and it would be best if they could use their crazy attacks to break through Chelsea's defensive line.

Not only did the forward line make adjustments, but the opponent also rearranged the midfield. Although it was still the same four people, Mourinho had seen an offensive line rebuilt by Ancelotti.

Seedorf and Kaka pressed forward, which was not the most fatal. Now even Pirlo was brought up. If Inzaghi scored a goal just now because of that guy's keen sense of smell in front of the goal.

Then what Mourinho saw was the whole team of AC Milan pressing forward. He just noticed Pirlo's position. The guy who always liked to linger in the defensive midfielder position had begun to approach the penalty area.

This is definitely a very dangerous signal. Kaka, Seedorf, Pirlo, but these guys started to invest in the offense, so now Chelsea's defense line will definitely face greater defensive pressure.

The goal was not a coincidence. In one attack, at least six people from the opponent pressed near the penalty area, and Chelsea's defensive players, there were only six, including goalkeeper Cech.

Facing AC Milan, who had already begun to fight to the death, Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, felt the pressure for the first time. This was the impact that a big team would unleash when they wanted to fight to the death with you. It was indeed a bit shocking and terrifying.

2-2, perhaps, the game really began to enter the climax stage from this moment. . .

(Tomorrow’s finals, I don’t know who will be the leader... looking forward to it)
