Chapter 113 Finals Opening
Standing on the field of the Champions League final, Degan felt that his blood was about to burn. Apart from the World Cup, this was probably the biggest stage a player could be on. //Update the fastest 78xs//
"Rod! Relax!"
Inzaghi, who was standing opposite Degan, said with a relaxed face, for the Champions League final, Inzaghi already has a lot of experience. In 2003, at Old Trafford in Manchester, Inzaghi once AC Milan defeated Juventus and finally won the cup.
Digan didn't speak, but just shook his shoulders. When he was playing just now, his numb body finally calmed down, and he clenched his fists, very powerfully.
"No problem! Philip, you should pay attention to the room of honor in your home, see if there is room, and put down another Champions League trophy!"
The game is about to start, just waiting for the referee's whistle.
"This is the most important game before the start of the 2006 World Cup. AC Milan has entered the Champions League final for two consecutive years. Last year in Istanbul, AC Milan experienced a game that they will never want to recall again. They took a 3-o lead In the second half, they were beaten back by Liverpool in the second half, and finally lost on penalties. Now they have to face another team, Arsenal, also from the Premier League. If you compare the experience of the two teams in the Champions League final, ac Milan will definitely be at the top, they have reached 10 finals and won six of them, while Arsenal have reached the Champions League final for the first time."
"The most worrying thing about AC Milan in this game is their defense. Nesta, Cafu and Stam are all sidelined due to injuries. Ancelotti can only choose Maldini and Kos in the combination of central defenders. Takuta, these two grandparents! The key to their victory lies in the Wright brothers, especially Degan. Before facing Bayern Munich, Lyon and Barcelona, it was Degan's goal that helped AC Milan finally won!"
"Arsenal, apart from Lauren, who has been sidelined for half a year due to injury, other positions are not troubled by injuries. Lauren's position is also replaced by French teenager Eboue. On the forward line, Henry's recent state is very hot. , In the last round of the Premier League game against Ipswich Town, he even staged a hat-trick."
"In addition to Henry, the midfielder Cesc Fabregas' performance this season is also very eye-catching. After Vieira moved to Juventus, the Spanish teenager has completely replaced Vieira's role. The team helps, and on offense, it's always been great!"
"Arsenal's biggest hidden danger should appear in their defensive line. Although Campbell has rich experience, his turning speed is too slow. When defending Degan, it is very likely that Degan will use his speed advantage to break through. Obviously Eboue This game takes more responsibility."
Beep~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The commentator was still chattering about some information about the two sides of the match. The referee blew his whistle, and the match was about to begin.
Degan passed the ball to Inzaghi, who passed it back to Kaka, and Milan launched the first wave of attack.
After passing the ball, Degan quickly moved to the left, while Seedorf, who originally occupied the left, leaned towards the middle. After Kaka took the ball, he passed the ball forward directly and handed it to Seedorf. After getting the ball, he split the sides immediately, and the ball returned to Degan's feet.
"The ball was handed over to Degan. After the start of the game, AC Milan did not play conservatively. Their advancing speed was very fast. The ball had already reached Degan's feet and Eboue pounced on him. Degan did not choose to break through, but again Passed the ball to the center, Kaka followed up and shot~~~~~~~~"
Kaka kicked a shot from outside the penalty area. The football whistled in the wind and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. The German goalkeeper Lehmann reacted very quickly. Although Kaka's kick was very sudden, it did not stump him. , holding the ball out of the crossbar with a single palm.
"All focus, don't let them kick too easily!"
After Lehman got up, he roared loudly. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the defense of his teammates just now. When AC Milan launched an attack, no one stepped forward to block it. In the end, Kaka easily kicked. If It wasn't that the kick was not strong enough, Arsenal was about to concede the ball less than a minute into the game.
Seeing that the goal was missed, Kaka was also very annoyed, but he did not forget to give Digan a thumbs up.
AC Milan's corner kick, Campbell rushed the ball out before Digan, Fabregas controlled the second point, and Arsenal quickly launched a counterattack.
Now that this Arsenal team has been suppressed by Wenger for a few years, it is no longer the rough brother team that can only counterattack with long passes, and constantly play high balls into the penalty area. Very delicate, with continuous short passes, the football reached Henry's feet.
After taking the ball, Henry pulled the ball to the left side of his body and observed the situation on the field. Maldini had already posted it. Milan's old captain made a comeback in this game, although his physical condition and competitive state have not recovered The best standard, but it is also a very important boost for Milan, which is currently full of wounded soldiers.
Maldini is getting old and his physical functions have degraded. When defending now, he is relying more on his own experience. Seeing that Henry is going to break forward, Maldini did not immediately kick out, but sideways. He stepped back, fixed his eyes on the football, and waited for the opportunity.
Henry obviously didn't pay attention to the old Maldini. Seeing Maldini rushing to defend, instead of passing the ball, he rushed towards him directly.
"The King of Highbury has challenged the San Siro flag!"
The commentator just said that the football that was still under Henry's feet had already been stabbed out. Henry wanted to break through with his speed, but the ball was a little too big. Maldini seized the opportunity and kicked it directly. Break the ball.
After stealing the ball, AC Milan's formation quickly pressed forward. Maldini drove the ball to the left with a big foot. Degan took the ball. Ah, turn around and break through.
"Eboue threw too fiercely, but Digan seized the opportunity to break through easily. However, in the handling of the ball just now, Digan's quick response and outstanding skills were also fully displayed. It's done, so Eboue is fully prepared to respond."
Seeing this, Toure hurried up to make up for it, while Campbell moved towards the penalty area. He was one of the best man-marking central defenders in the world at the beginning, but now if he defends Digan one-on-one, it is the arrogant Campbell. There is also some lack of confidence.
Seeing Toure stepping forward to defend, Degan quickly pulled the ball, cut inside and rushed towards the middle. Although Toure's speed was not slow, it was obviously not enough in front of Degan. He wanted to He stretched out his hand to pull, but Digan didn't give him this chance at all, and the speed was getting faster and faster, so that Toure didn't even have a chance to make a move.
The angle had come out, and Degan shot immediately, and the football flew towards the far corner of the goal like a cannonball.
Campbell fell to the ground and wanted to intercept, but he could only block the air. The strength of Degan's shot was too great, so great that it made people feel afraid.
At this time, Lehmann also showed the quality of the world's top goalkeeper, flying to the side, the football concentrated his arm, bounced up, and finally hit the goal post, Campbell made a timely clearance and kicked the ball out of the sideline .
Danger!
"Deegan shot! The ball is very powerful, ah~~~~~~ It's a pity, Lehmann made a world-class save and blocked the ball with one hand."
Digan was already ready to celebrate, and he cut inside to shoot, but he was good at it, and he felt very good about the shot just now, but it's a pity that Lehmann's performance was too bad.
After Lehman got up, he looked at the football that had been cleared out, heaved a sigh of relief, and even forgot to scold his teammates.
Deegan's shot just now was too dangerous. If Deegan could make a little more arc, he would have a quick reaction. At this moment, he might only be able to catch the ball from the net.
"The game has just started, and AC Milan has already had two very threatening shots. If it weren't for Lehmann's outstanding performance, AC Milan may have already taken the lead at this moment!"
"Ac Milan's defense does have a lot of problems due to injuries, but their attack combination is still powerful. Kaka and Digan, this pair of Wright Brothers let everyone know what the strongest combination is!"
"Lehmann's performance was very good. Although the game had just started, he entered the state very quickly and blocked Kaka and Digan's shots one after another. However, it is obvious that defense alone cannot win the game. Arsenal must be in the center. It is necessary to strengthen the control and protection of the field, otherwise, they will be reduced to a foil today!"
There is a precedent for AC Milan to be stronger and stronger in the Champions League final. They met the Barcelona dream team led by Johan Cruyff in the Champions League final. The result was originally thought to be evenly matched, and even AC Milan would be slightly at a disadvantage. AC Milan actually beat the majestic Barcelona 4:o!
Wenger also frowned tightly. Obviously, in the current situation, he did not expect that he had done so much preparation work before the game, especially the defense against Kaka and Digan. Wenger didn't sleep well for two days because of this, but Now it looks like it doesn't work at all.
Of course, what worries Wenger the most is Henry's performance. The ball was intercepted by Maldini just now, and that performance is not a normal Henry at all.
