Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Athens Olympic Stadium.

The referee from Germany blew the whistle to start the game.

The Champions League final, the pinnacle showdown.

The battle officially begins!

Leeds United, who took the first kick off, quickly launched a fast break. Rui Costa passed the ball back. The midfielder and backfielder quickly and smoothly kicked the ball and then advanced from the left to try to create a threat.

However, when Ribery encountered Ambrosini and Odo in the frontcourt, he decisively avoided their edge and passed the ball back to Rui Costa.

Pirlo stepped forward and took the initiative to press, and Gattuso was waiting for the opportunity.

Rui Costa combined with Jamie Redknapp's short pass.

When connecting again, the over-the-top straight plug is directly delivered.

Deisler ran towards the right flank of the penalty area.

The veteran Maldini turned around and got stuck. Deisler tried to go around the opponent, but Maldini continued to block while moving.

The football landed and the baseline popped up.

Maldini's precise and sophisticated defense is like an art.

There is no need for an intimidating display of teeth and claws, nor is there a need for fierce and brutal super-intense confrontation. The defensive techniques should be applied at the most appropriate time and combined with the environment to cause the opponent's attack to fail, be frustrated, and return in vain.

This is the strength of Italy's world-class defenders.

He can be called a master of a generation, with unparalleled magnificence!

AC Milan's offensive speed is not very fast.

A seemingly slow passing organization in the backfield.

But after slowly moving back and forth between the left and right wings, Pirlo suddenly dribbled forward, and when Rui Costa intercepted him head-on, he passed the ball to the left.

Deisler immediately began to stalk Seedorf. The Dutch midfielder also had a master-level strength. He controlled the ball and changed direction to open the distance from Deisler. Combined with the movement of his teammates in front, he decisively sent the ball out. Direct transmission to the ground.

A precise pass found the man!

Mo Shangren is like jade, the son is unparalleled in the world!

Son of God, Kaka!

Kaka had already opened the distance between him and Roy Keane during his movement, and he took advantage of the situation to pick up the ball and speed up.

Compared with traditional Brazilian offensive players, the ball control skills are more delicate and even fancy.

Kaka, on the other hand, simplifies the complex and opens up the possibilities.

The epee has no sharp edge, and it doesn't work!

When the ball speeded up and passed Jamie Redknapp, Jamie Redknapp marveled at Kaka's choice of route to break through.

It can almost be said that it is close to the edge of his defensive range.

Let him directly intercept and be out of reach, turn around and pursue but be unable to catch up.

There are not too many false moves to confuse the opponent, it is just a strong attack from the side.

The momentum is like a rainbow.

One person is like a thousand troops!

Just after Kaka broke through Jamie Redknapp diagonally, Kelly surprisingly left the wing and came to Kompany's side in advance to actively defend and intercept.

Roy Keane is guarding the center to compress the space.

Kaka will naturally not move forward to the middle.

So he tried to pass the ball!

People go to the left and the ball goes to the right.

Kelly was confused for a moment and couldn't intercept the ball. He wanted to foul but he didn't catch the ball.

When Kaka wanted to control the ball in front of the penalty area, Kompany's flying tackle took the lead and destroyed the ball outside the sideline.

It seems unnecessary.

But Kompany kept Shen Hao's defensive requirements in mind.

Don't compete with Kaka for speed!

Be sure to be the first!

If Kaka is allowed to touch the ball again, will he still have a chance to make a tackle?

In the Champions League semi-finals, Kaká's blow over Manchester United's defense is the best lesson for others.

AC Milan took the ball from the frontcourt.

The contraction of Leeds United's defense will not give them the opportunity and space to penetrate in positional warfare.

As a key target, it is naturally difficult for Kaka to perform in this environment.

However, the containment effect allows teammates to have better room to perform.

Pirlo controlled the ball in the middle of the frontcourt and sent a diagonal pass to the ground.

Seedorf stepped in to stop the ball, then changed the direction of the ball to complete the adjustment, and then blasted out with a heavy kick.

The football flew in a parabola towards the far corner of the goal but was saved by Toldo's brilliant save.

Leeds United fans are naturally nervous.

AC Milan focuses on counter-attacks and traditional Italian tactics.

In this regard, there is no doubt about their technical and tactical quality and strength. Perhaps in the league, their overall strength and endurance of the lineup are not as good as Inter Milan.

But in the single-match cup competition, their real-time combat effectiveness is absolutely top-notch!

Leeds United's offensive organization is not as full of rhythm changes as AC Milan.

After Jamie Redknapp and Rui Costa teamed up to push the attack into the frontcourt, Ambrosini and Gattuso tightened the defense. With Pirlo and Seedorf, it seemed difficult to attack in the middle. wear.

At this time, Deisler took the initiative to come inside to respond, and Jamie Redknapp found the opponent with a short pass.

Before Jankulovsky pressed in, Deisler stopped the ball and adjusted on the spot before sending a precise short pass.

Ronaldo took the initiative to respond in the middle, and Gattuso turned around and immediately pursued.

Ronaldo, however, quickly adjusted his direction and attacked AC Milan's penalty area.

Facing Maldini in front of the penalty area, Ronaldo quickly feinted at the football with his legs, trying to use his trademark bicycle to confuse the opponent's center of gravity.

But Maldini remained motionless, lowering his center of gravity and waiting for Ronaldo to take the initiative to change direction.

What he didn't expect was that after two rounds of cycling, Ronaldo suddenly took off his feet and sent the ball diagonally to the left rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Nesta was also surprised.

Ronaldo quits when faced with difficulties?

No attempt was made to challenge Maldini.

Ribery cuts inside and is about to receive the ball.

However, Nesta stepped into the right rhythm, turned around and stretched out his long legs. He landed on the ground and put down a shovel to block the ball towards his own goal.

Dida struck out and kicked the ball to the wing.

Ribery failed and turned around to retreat.

Shen Hao looked solemn.

With AC Milan's defense, it is extremely difficult to get a shot in the penalty area.

But if it is a long-range shot, the probability of success is obviously not high.

If we still win the lottery in the Champions League final, we will really have to leave it to fate.

AC Milan's offensive once again swept the frontcourt.

Kaka dribbled from the center circle and started running.

Whenever he gets the ball started, it's like a brewing storm for the Leeds defense, and if left unchecked, it will intensify.

I'm afraid it will form an unstoppable tsunami!

Therefore, the Leeds United midfielder must carry out tight zone defense and sniper interception.

When Kaká slightly changed his direction and broke through Rui Costa, Jamie Redknapp and Roy Keane's subsequent zone defense allowed him to decisively pass the ball back to Peele who was following behind. Luo.

With Kaka in front to contain him, Pirlo changed the direction of the ball and swung the ball out of the angle. The space in front was not open.

But the passing lanes are there.

So he quickly sent out a direct pass to the ground.

When the football penetrated Leeds United's midfield defense and rolled into the penalty area, Stam and Kompany immediately tightened the defense.

Inzaghi made an anti-offside move and people passed by.

But the ball was intercepted by Stam stretching his legs.

AC Milan fans sighed.

For Inzaghi, as long as he succeeds in countering offside and can receive the pass from his teammates, it must be a God-given opportunity to kill.

Ferguson once said that Inzaghi was a man born on the offside line.

But Shen Hao prefers to describe himself as an extreme sports enthusiast.

Offside, counter-offside, between the lines.

Fight to the limit!

The pace of the game is not as brutal as the Premier League, but it is not slow either.

AC Milan's offensive organization rhythm is relatively obvious, but it is not sluggish.

Leeds United's rhythm remained steady, fast but not chaotic.

While each plays their own technical and tactical style, the state of both teams is constantly improving.

When Ronaldo received a pass from Franck Ribery in front of the penalty area, Gattuso and Ambrosini immediately turned around to attack.

Ronaldo is facing enemies from both sides and his living space today is very narrow.

He knocked the ball on the spot and dodged the press from Gattuso, then changed his foot and passed the ball back.

Jamie Redknapp's run-in was too difficult for Seedorf to resist, and the England midfielder tried to test Dida with a heavy shot.

However, the success rate of long-range shots fired under such a lack of adjustment space is naturally not high.

The shot was too on target and Dida confiscated it.

The two teams are getting better and better, and the shots are gradually increasing.

Just after 20 minutes of the game, Kaka raced again and started to move forward with the ball.

The audience could clearly see Seedorf and Pirlo following up in the back row.

After Kaka formed a containment in the middle of the frontcourt, Seedorf ran forward from the left and Kaka passed the ball.

Seedorf successfully connected.

Kelly moves in again and actively defends.

What is unexpected is that Seedorf passed the ball diagonally back to Pirlo.

It seems that AC Milan's offensive was frustrated and they chose to readjust.

But Pirlo's next pass made everyone realize that this wave of offensive was not over, but continued to develop, forming a huge threat!

Pirlo sent a precise mid-range pass with his right foot.

The football flew to the left wing to attack the hinterland.

But I saw Yankulovsky running towards him!

It was too late for Kelly to turn back and try to force the defense.

Jankulovsky stopped and buckled directly to the edge of the penalty area, and sent a diagonal pass to the ground when Kelly was less than two meters away from him.

Under the spotlight, Kaka made a diagonal pass to the outside of the left rib of the penalty area. Kompany turned around and was obviously thrown away.

Kaka half-turned to meet the ball and swept the ball towards the goal.

The football quickly rolled towards the center of Leeds United's goal.

Toldo attacks and blocks with open arms.

Inzaghi took the lead in outflanking the goal and using the instep of his right foot to shoot the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal like a dragonfly!

Toldo's right leg stretched out, but the limit blockade still failed to touch the football.

When the football rolled into the lower left corner of the goal, the Athens Olympic Stadium burst into cheers!

AC Milan fans cheered wildly.

Inzaghi pointed to the sky with one hand and ran towards the corner flag area.

Ancelotti didn't show a smile, but his arms shook suddenly, shaking the sky!

"Inzaghi scored on the spot! AC Milan took the lead to break the deadlock on the field! This goal is flowing, poetic, picturesque, wind, rain and thunder, all-encompassing!"

"Kaka's containment, Seedorf's feint, Pirlo's transfer, Jankulovski's intervention, Kaká's breakthrough, Inzaghi's fatal blow! AC Milan, a master-class performance, a palace-level performance Great teamwork!”

"The situation has become unfavorable for Leeds United. Compared with AC Milan's changes in rhythm and precise strikes that capture the gaps in Leeds United's defense, Leeds United does not seem to have found an effective way to create a threat that panics AC Milan's defense."

"But I still have full confidence in Leeds United. The white shirt has gone through great storms and will not be knocked down easily!"

AC Milan's carnival made Leeds United fans a little unstable.

Almost breaking the defense.

Compared with traditional giants like AC Milan, especially in 03, 05,07 and [-], they have reached the Champions League finals three times in the past five years.

It is obvious that Leeds United fans have a mentality of being immersed in the final, and their mental endurance is relatively poor.

At this moment, we can only abandon distracting thoughts and concentrate on cheering for the team.

Shen Hao did not change his composure when facing the loss of the ball. He gestured to the team to stabilize his mentality.

AC Milan's strength is full of wisdom, which is reflected in its technical and tactical qualities and execution capabilities.

The reason why Italy is considered a tactical paradise is that the players' overall awareness of the overall situation is generally stronger than that of players in other leagues.

This comes from the explanation of techniques and tactics in their daily training sessions, and the instillation of concepts takes a long time.

Even though this is no longer the era when the Seven Sisters are in full bloom, top teams like AC Milan with many world-class stars, their technical and tactical strength is definitely second to none.

The Leeds United players cheered each other on and continued to build the attack unswervingly after kick-off.

And they began to take the initiative to speed up.

Trying to disrupt AC Milan's defensive rhythm and putting more pressure on the opponent can reduce AC Milan's quality during the transition between offense and defense.

Candela and Deisler each passed the ball and failed to create a threat.

When AC Milan's fast break started again, Leeds United took a tactical violation on the spot and did not allow Kaka to complete the start in a relatively better environment.

But the price is that Ribery and Rui Costa are yellow!

Just after 30 minutes of the game, Pirlo's long-range shot missed the crossbar and flew into the stands, almost making Leeds United fans scream.

Shen Hao couldn't help but secretly break into a cold sweat.

If we are two goals behind, the situation will definitely be unfavorable.

And with AC Milan's ability to control the field, they can wear out Leeds United in an easier way!

He believes Ancelotti will not make the same mistake.

If AC Milan is given another chance to take a big lead in the final, they will definitely not give their opponents a chance to come back!

Leeds United's simple and crude cross bombing surprised AC Milan's defense.

I even feel that Leeds United are at the end of their rope.

I haven't even played much yet, so I can only make a pass without thinking?

But just after 35 minutes of the game, Candela's cross was cleared by Nesta with a header. The ball flew out but was strongly controlled by Roy Keane in the middle of the AC Milan backcourt.

Expecting Pirlo and Seedorf to successfully compete for placement can only be a matter of luck.

They have perfect control of the ball without countering the impact.

But in the fight for opportunity balls, AC Milan obviously cannot count on them too much.

Roy Keane completed the confrontation and header pass right in Pirlo's face.

Then he retreated.

Jamie Redknapp came over from the side and pushed forward with a series of stops. Seedorf pursued and Gattuso rushed toward him.

Jamie Redknapp immediately crossed the ball into the middle.

Pirlo turned back and tried to steal the ball, but Rui Costa stepped forward and sent a direct pass like a dragonfly.

Ronaldo turned directly at the top of the penalty area, the football rolled from behind, he spiked the ball with his left foot and then took a shot.

Maldini immediately moved in front of him and used his body to block the angle of his shot. Nesta also moved closer to the center, fearing that Ronaldo would fake the shot and pass it!

Ronaldo dropped his right foot and didn't hit the ball, but he moved the ball across.

Maldini immediately moved to block Ronaldo's advance line.

Ambrosini chased Ronaldo from behind, and Gattuso retreated to stretch his legs to press.

In a three-party attack, although Ronaldo did not have enough space to break through Maldini head-on, he took the initiative in the cross-cut and slanted the ball behind the opponent's side.

Maldini immediately turned around, but Deisler, who cut in quickly and entered the right rib area of ​​the penalty area, passed the ball the moment he touched the ball!

Nesta did not dare to stretch his legs to intercept the football as it rolled quickly towards the left side of the penalty area.

The speed of the ball is too fast, and if you use a shovel to intercept it, you may end up with an own goal!

But after the football rolled towards the left flank of the penalty area, he retreated to block the line.

But he saw Ribery cut in and hit the ball without adjusting and pushed the ball with the arch of his foot decisively!

Be steady!

The football flew straight into the near corner of the goal.

Dida flew to the limit to save but missed by a hair!

The football flew into AC Milan's goal against the inside of the left goal post.

Scarfaced Ribery gritted his teeth and roared, turning around and rushing to the sideline to celebrate with a grim look on his face.

Leeds United equalizes the score!
