Midfielder

Chapter 498

Every team, even an inconspicuous amateur team, will have its own core, which is an unshakable and indispensable person, and professional teams will not lack such characters.

Lin Yi is the core and soul of Chelsea. Although this kid is not the captain, even Terry said that if this kid is not on the court, the entire team seems to lack the motivation to win a decisive victory against the opponent.

Returning to the team before the war may not have the best effect, but Lin Yi's ability to play means that the soul of Chelsea is back. Mourinho has also prepared a lineup for this kid that is most suitable for him.

Although there are many good players in the Chelsea team, basically everyone can play the absolute main role in their respective national teams, but everyone knows that Lin Yi is the most suitable candidate to implement Mourinho's tactics.

This time Mourinho's burnt-out style of play means completely letting go of Lin Yi's offensive capabilities.

In order to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the birth of the Champions League, the 51st final finally returned to Paris, where the first final was held. This time, even the French president and dignitaries sat in the grandstand of the Stade de France.

After 246 days and 124 games of fierce battle, AC Milan and Chelsea, who ranked in the top two in terms of goals and defensive efficiency, finally stood in the center of the final venue, waiting for the whistle to blow.

Maybe Mourinho's trap worked, or Ancelotti also wanted to complete the revenge battle.

Anyway, this intentional or unintentional arrangement allowed the two teams to enter into a fierce battle against Maimang from the beginning. The same offense came first, and the same fatal fight left no room for anything. No one would back down.

Before the game, a performance was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Champions League. Celebrities such as Beckenbauer and Platini came to watch the game. However, none of this is the key to attracting broadcast cameras. The game is the top priority.

Twenty-two fierce guys, after more than half a year of baptism, finally stood together.

The venue for the final was grand enough, with a capacity of more than 80,000 people, so that the place was filled with songs of confrontation.

When each other's shouts merged together, all that was left in the center of the field was smoke.

There is no good outcome in a decisive battle. This may be a popular trend in the past twenty years. However, in any key match, the scene will seem a bit boring. No matter who it is, they may not want to be the first to make a mistake in the decisive battle.

Chelsea's previous iron-wall defense seemed to have inoculated everyone early. Many people believed that this game was a competition between defense and offense, and the scene was definitely not good.

Maybe many people who haven't even appeared in their seats when the game starts think so, but they will soon understand that they may have missed the most exciting game in the first decade of this century.

Because the duel between Chelsea and AC Milan has entered a fierce stage from the first second.

Chelsea took the lead to kick off. Lin Yi, who stepped on the football in the center circle, gave Lampard a pass. When Gilardino stepped forward to interfere, Lampard had already pretended to pass back to the backcourt, and then directly passed the ball to Lin Yi. wing.

Maybe everyone thought that the opening stage would be a tentative attack by both sides, but they forgot that Mourinho dared to put up such a formation and had no intention of playing Tai Chi push hands with the opponent.

When Lin Yi received the pass, he had no intention of stopping to organize the attack. Although he was placed in the midfield by Mourinho this time to sort out the entire team, Mourinho told him to attack whenever there is a chance. !

Maybe even Gattuso, a seasoned veteran who rarely loses focus during the game, might not have expected that after Lin Yi got the ball, he didn't even think about whether there were teammates around him to help, and he rushed over. With one consecutive fake move, Pirlo directly passed Pirlo's upward attack.

Kaka may have been the first to react. He was chasing after him, but as soon as Gattuso retreated to his position, Lin Yi had already dribbled the ball to him, and he didn't seem to have any intention of doing so. Passing the ball, he rushed straight towards Gattuso's position. The shaking of his upper body was not large, but it was quite confusing. Gattuso, who was already a bit thick, could only hope to knock down the opponent.

Fierceness is Gattuso's label, so when this guy gets ruthless, few people are spared.

Lin Yi didn't seem to have considered such a problem. When he rushed towards Gattuso with the ball, he didn't make too many fake moves. He relied entirely on his explosive power in short distances to force his way into the opponent's interception.

During the tackle, Gattuso's frontal blockade and Kaká's behind-the-back press severely knocked down Lin Yi five or six meters in front of the penalty area, but Gattuso's outstretched foot did not knock down the ball. Instead, he kicked Lin Yi's shin guards fiercely. The kid flew into the air with the ball and fell heavily.

"Beep!" It's impossible for the referee to miss such an obvious foul. Although Gattuso is not the last defensive player, the referee can issue a yellow card for such a tackle.

Less than ten seconds into the game, Ancelotti watched as the referee on duty, Norwegian Hauge, showed Gattuso a yellow card, even though Gattuso tried to appeal to the referee for the foul with his somewhat ferocious expression.

But the Norwegian didn't seem to be planning to take back his hand, and he had already warned Gattuso verbally. If he kept talking nonsense, he wouldn't mind showing this guy a red card at the beginning!

Pirlo dragged away Gattuso, who was still yelling at Lin Yi. In the eyes of that tough guy, Lin Yi was pretending to be injured, and he was a liar! Just like Mourinho tricked Ancelotti!

But everyone could see that his foot hit Lin Yi's shin guard hard, which was also thanks to the kick directly hitting the protective gear. If it had kicked his calf, the boy might have been carried off the field on a stretcher.

The boos from the English fans in the stands were all given to Gattuso, and many people even shouted loudly, "You damn executioner! You are an idiot who can only stop others with fouls!"

It can be seen that Gattuso's foul on Lin Yi has made many people unhappy. They don't want their mascot to be sent back to the bed by others just after recovering from injuries.

Those female guards wanted to shoot Gattuso with the submachine gun. Selina and Emma couldn't help but exclaimed at this time. They were really afraid that Lin Yi would be really injured.

But Lin Yi quickly climbed up from the grass, and he seemed to be bending over to adjust his shin guards.

AC Milan's human wall also began to stand under Dida's arrangement. At this distance, Lampard and Gerrard's two heavy guns can directly threaten Dida's gate, and this threat must be prevented.

Ancelotti gestured to Gattuso on the sidelines. Perhaps he wanted to tell the reckless guy not to foul so recklessly. After all, there were still ninety minutes in the game, and he was careful to be sent off directly.

All this seemed normal, including the referee who was carefully checking whether the opponent's human wall was standing far enough, but behind all these most normal things, one person moved unexpectedly!

Pirlo, Gattuso, and Maldini were all paying attention to Dida's command to arrange the human wall, while Seedorf and Gilardino were also staring at who would take the penalty between Lampard and Gerrard.

But no one saw that the football on the grass was aimed at the goal. Perhaps Lampard and Gerrard's whispers attracted everyone's attention, so no one noticed who was standing behind the football.

Perhaps only the Portuguese old man who had trained Lin Yi for almost a month could sense something.

The intense competition and the noisy atmosphere of the stadium made everyone's nerves tense, so some of the simplest and most straightforward things would be ignored, such as the football on the grass, it would move.

Especially when there is a foot behind the football to make it move purposefully, it can pose a fatal threat in a place less than 30 meters away from the goal, such as now.

Maybe even the referee didn't react to what happened. AC Milan's human wall had not been arranged properly, and Gerrard and Lampard didn't seem to have discussed who would take the free kick in the end.

But the football on the grass moved, it moved as fast as lightning, and everyone was stunned. When the football brushed the human wall arranged by AC Milan and was sent into the penalty area, perhaps only Kaka next to him realized the danger, but he wanted to turn around and chase, but God didn't give him this opportunity.

The precise pass was not powerful, but it was enough to pass through AC Milan's wall and for Ribery, who turned around and ran into the penalty area, to receive the pass near the penalty spot. In front of him, there was only Dida.

In a one-on-one duel, Dida was isolated and helpless. Apart from desperately opening his arms to rush at Ribery, he could not think of any other way to stop the opponent. However, the empty penalty area and the extremely flexible scarred face were enough to get past Dida even with a little acceleration.

After deftly dribbling past Dida, Ribery faced the empty goal in the small penalty area and pushed gently.

The football that passed through the opponent's wall was accurately sent into the net. Before Ribery raised his hands to cheer for the first goal, the entire Stade de France was already in an uproar, including the two guys in the commentary booth, Andy Gray and Lineker, who almost overturned their tables.

"No offside! No violation! Beautiful through ball! Ribery! He opened the scoring for Chelsea! Scored the first goal of the game! Chelsea! Chelsea is leading 1-0 now!"

Andy Gray might still be relatively calm, because he was really afraid that the linesman or referee would raise his hand to indicate that the goal was invalid, but when he saw that the Norwegian referee had pointed his finger at the center circle, he knew! Forget the goal! Ribery had scored a goal when no one noticed!

And Lineker had already been roaring, 35 seconds! The game had just started for 35 seconds! Chelsea was already leading! Ribery's goal was not so gorgeous! But this assist was so accurate!

If someone paid attention to Ancelotti's expression at this time, they might find that the good guy's face was a little stiff, and he was still giving instructions to Gattuso before the goal happened.

But now, everything seemed to be frozen, and the cheers of Chelsea fans in the stands strongly impacted the hearts of every AC Milan fan and player. Ancelotti was even more confused by this sudden goal. What happened? When the ball rolled into the net, Ancelotti was stunned.

Goal? Damn it! Did the referee blow the whistle? Ancelotti argued with the fourth official on the sidelines!

He couldn't believe that his team was scored so easily! How did this damn goal happen! ? Wasn't the pass offside? It should have been a free kick!

This might be the first time Ancelotti questioned the fourth official on the sidelines in this way during a game. He might have forgotten his usual gentle demeanor. Now he was like an angry lion.

"That goal shouldn't have happened! There was something wrong with the referee's decision! The opponent violated the rules!" But Ancelotti's question received no response. The fourth official just warned him to calm down and not do this again.

Perhaps only the referee knew what happened. In a direct free kick, Lin Yi took advantage of the opportunity allowed by the rules. He did not shoot directly before the opponent's wall was arranged. He just took the shot without anyone paying attention. At that time, he used the tactic of quick free kicks to directly penetrate the defense.

No one knows if this is a tactic he had thought of long ago, and no one knows if this is a sneak attack plan prepared by Mourinho before the decisive battle, but Lin Yi has already torn apart AC Milan's defense with passes.

Only Kaka saw what happened when he was watching from the side. When he saw Lin Yi standing in front of the football, he felt a sense of crisis, but he really didn't expect that kid would pass the ball like this.

He always thought that Lin Yi was going to take the free kick himself. Although Lin Yi had no record of scoring a free kick before, Kaka was really worried that this kid would suddenly attack.

It was indeed an attack, but even Kaka didn't expect this to be the case, passing the ball! Oh shit! Kaká knew the worst had happened when Ribery received the pass, falling behind by a goal at the start.

And Lin Yi's pass happened right under his nose. He watched helplessly as Lin Yi stood in front of the football, suddenly took off his right foot and pushed a ground ball that scraped the turf, straight into the center of the penalty area.

Before that, Kaka also saw Lin Yi saying something to Ribery who was dragging him up when he got up from the turf, but no one else would have thought that these two guys were discussing this!

Ribery's movement was not a matter of telepathy, but before Lin Yi started to pass the ball, the boy had been observing the route Lin Yi was preparing to pass. Therefore, Scarface's forward thrust was not offside.

A well-planned conspiracy and a goal that seemed a bit incredible happened just like that, leaving everyone a little stunned, including the football celebrities who were still sitting in the stands.

As for the expression of the Italian Prime Minister Baldy now, I guess there is no need to say more.

Anyway, he once again saw Abramovich cheering for the goal in front of him. The Russian's fist seemed to hit Berlusconi's heart, each one harder than the other.

In fact, even the referee hesitated a little at the moment the goal occurred, but the linesman indicated that the goal was not offside, and Lin Yi caught the opponent's defensive negligence within the scope allowed by the rules. This goal was completely offside. The problem is, you can say that Lin Yi was cheating, but he really didn't commit a foul.

When Ribery jumped up to Lin Yi with his hands raised high, the perpetrator was already suppressed by a group of animals. Ribery became the top layer of the hierarchy. Even Cech joined in this madness. During the celebration, perhaps even these Chelsea beasts did not expect that they were actually ahead!

"You madman! That's a free kick I want to take!" Lampard roared while cheering for the goal. The perpetrator now had a dying expression on his face and was suppressed by a group of gentlemen. On the turf, he only beat the turf and cursed, "You guys are going to kill me for a free kick! Get up, my ribs are almost broken by you!"

When Mourinho saw this scene from the sidelines, he did not have the same stunned expression as Ancelotti.

But when Ribery scored, Mourinho still clenched his fist and waved to the sky hard! In! That kid changed the score in the shortest time! Chelsea have taken the initiative!

Mourinho actually didn't know what Lin Yi was going to do at the time, and even that breakthrough seemed a bit reckless to him. But after the goal, all the foreshadowing seemed a bit logical. Lin Yi seemed to have started the whole action process. Before, I had already thought about everything to deal with.

From Gattuso's foul to taking advantage of the opening stage before the opponent was completely nervous and quickly took a free kick, this kid seemed to be catching every loophole in the opponent's psychology and then struck a fatal blow!

Smart playing style, cunning judgment, even when Mourinho looked at the little lunatic brought out by himself on the sidelines, he didn't know what the kid would do next or what else he could do!

Using the most direct way to ignite the game, Lin Yi did it. The goal scored in 35 seconds became the fastest goal in the history of the Champions League decisive battle. I didn’t know that when the Champions League this season just ignited the flames, Sido Is this how it felt when my husband broke through the gate of Schalke 04 in twenty-five seconds?

But what is left to AC Milan fans and players now is only a happy memory. The battle of revenge that they firmly believed in was beaten to the head by their opponent in just thirty-five seconds, even though the game was still going on. Nearly ninety minutes will end. They still have a chance to equalize the score or even take the lead, but this record, which may be recorded in the history of the Champions League for a long time, has already been printed with the name of AC Milan. This is not a glorious moment. Chelsea's goal humiliated them.

In less than a minute, it was one to zero. Although Lin Yi did not score a goal, his waving fingers at the Chelsea fans in the stands were already telling those supporters that this was the beginning of Chelsea's conquest of their opponents!

One to zero is just the beginning, the beacon is being ignited. . .
