Chapter 377 The Miracle in Progress
Chapter 377 The Miracle in Progress
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLThe goal was scored AC Milan did not give up. In the opening 7 minutes of the second half, AC Milan moved back a goal."
"CrespoArgentina's header lobbed, the ball slipped through Cech's fingertips and flew into Cagliari's goal." Maldini, who made a mistake in the first half, suddenly inserted it.
Maldini is 37 years old. In the first half, in order to withstand the impact of Poborski, Maldini consumed a lot of energy. Even in the last few minutes of the first half, Maldini did not cross the half.
Therefore, Maldini's insertion this time was indeed a bit unexpected, and the Cagliari players were a bit careless because of the 3:0 score. Although Li Yi explained well in the midfield, the Cagliari players would definitely not be as cautious as they were in the first half.
After Maldini rushed to the ribs and made a direct pass, Crespo reacted quickly, took the lead to stand in position, and then headed the ball. The ball drew a wonderful arc, slipped past Cech's fingertips, flew to the far corner, and finally flew into the goal.
"OhCagliari's head coach is very angry Even a little out of breath." The live broadcast captured Li Yi rushing to the sidelines for the first time.
But at this moment, the Cagliari players were afraid to look to the sidelines, because during the intermission, Li Yi also made a big reasoning, just to prevent AC Milan from counterattacking in the second half, but what about now? In 7 minutes, AC Milan recovered a goal.
But at the same time, the Cagliari players think that there may be a little bit of indifference in their hearts. After all, a goal can't change anything, and Cagliari has a huge advantage.
"Paul, let everyone warm up." After the game started, Li Yi returned to his position and said to the assistant coach.
Obviously, Li Yi used this method to tell the players on the field that if they had the mentality of having a huge advantage, then waiting for them would mean being replaced.
Although there are only three substitutions, in such an important game, no one wants to be replaced in advance, and they all want to play the full 10 minutes.
So in the next period of time, the players on the Cagliari field became more serious, but at this time Cagliari has already surrendered the initiative.
It wasn't just that the players on the field wanted to hold on to their current advantage. Li Yi's idea at the moment was to defend. As long as he kept the current score, the final victory belonged to Cagliari.
"AC MilanAC Milan's offense is very strong" 3 minutes after the goal, AC Milan completed another shot.
It's just that Cagliari's players did a better defense this time. AC Milan's shot was not threatening, but it didn't end there.
Two minutes later, AC Milan made a comeback. Cagliari's comprehensive retreat also gave Kaka a chance to sprint. Fortunately, Conte was decisive and stopped Kaka with a shovel from the front of the penalty area.
AC Milan's offensive was strong, but just as the pressure Li Yi put on the Cagliari players made everyone put aside their contempt, but in the end, facing the gradually rising AC Milan Cagliari, they still couldn't hold on.
As the saying goes, you will lose if you defend for a long time. In the seventh, second and 10th minute of the game, Cagliari ushered in the most tragic scene of the game. During a counterattack, the ball at the foot of Milito was cut off by Nesta.
But this is not over yet, AC Milan quickly counterattacked, although Nesta saw Milito fall out of the corner of his eye, but he thought that Milito would get up soon, so he did not send the ball out of bounds.
With a long pass, Nesta directly found Kaka. The Brazilian stopped the ball in his chest and turned decisively to attack Cagliari's penalty area, just as he rushed into the penalty area.
A flying shovel, Barzagli, in order to prevent Kaka from rushing into the penalty area, Barzagli wants to copy the defense of captain Conte, but who is Kaka?The future world footballer, the best player before Ronaldo and Messi.
Even though he is not at his peak right now, he still made a wonderful performance. Facing Barzagli's tackle, Kaka flicked his toes lightly, and then directly crossed the penalty area line with a small step.
"Beep" The referee's whistle sounded, and then he pointed directly to the penalty spot.
"Oh oh ohPenalty kick The referee Gonzales from Spain pointed at the penalty spot." This time, the AC Milan people were excited.
"That's right There is nothing wrong with Gonzalez's penalty. At the moment when Barzali tackled Kaka, Kaka had indeed crossed the penalty area line. This is an undisputed penalty."
In the stands, the fans of AC Milan burst into cheers, because this penalty really gave them hope. As long as AC Milan scores the penalty, then there is really hope for this game, and from the performance of the two sides from the beginning of the second half to the present, AC Milan still has great hope.
Miracle, at this moment, this word flashed in the hearts of all AC Milanese, and on the football field, there has never been a lack of such miracles.
At the same time, on the sidelines, at the moment Kaka fell, Ancelotti had rushed out, and when the referee blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot, everyone on the AC Milan bench rushed out.
"Oh It's not over yet. The Spanish referee ignored Cagliari who came up to intercede. He pushed aside the crowd, walked towards Barzagli who had not yet hit the blow and drew out a yellow card."
"It's a package" yellow card plus penalty.
"No Cagliari's tragedy is not over yet, their Argentine striker is still sitting on the ground, and veteran Zola is raising his hand to signal" The referee also found Milito in the frontcourt.
Under the referee's signal, Cagliari's team doctor ran into the field with medical insurance, and quickly reported the situation to Li Yi. Milito's injury was not serious, it was just a small strain, but he would definitely not be able to play the next game.
"It's really a house leak and it's raining all night." Li Yi on the sidelines couldn't help cursing secretly after hearing the news.
"Call Gio and Antonio" substitutions are imperative, and the substitution must still be two people.
There are still more than 20 minutes in the game, and it is very dangerous for Barzagli as a central defender to receive a yellow card, especially at this moment Barzagli has not yet recovered from the blow.
Barzagli is indeed the most stable of the three young central defenders in Cagliari, but this is the Champions League final. As a player who was still in Serie B two years ago, it is conceivable that this foul will hit him now.
While Li Yi was waiting for the substitution, AC Milan was also taking a penalty kick on the court. Standing in front of the penalty spot was Shevchenko, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead.
I remember two seasons ago, in the Champions League final between AC Milan and Juventus, Shevchenko's final penalty kick sealed the victory.
And this time, Shevchenko stood up again, and he did not disappoint the AC Milanese.
