737 The Apologetic Captain
Reina's save this time undoubtedly greatly boosted Liverpool's morale.
Liverpool has changed many people in the past two years, but the most influential substitution is undoubtedly the change of goalkeeper. On the night two years ago, everyone remembered how outstanding Dudek played - of course, the second half - and now, Renner has also performed well when he moved to this position. How can he not make people feel happy!
Our defense line is not that easy to break!
"There is not much time left, so we can't go wrong anymore. Winning and winning the penalty kick are two concepts. No matter what, don't lose the ball at this time."
After several teammates encouraged each other, they all went onto the field again. This time, Liverpool's lineup did not immediately press, but slowly passed on in their own half.
With the advantage in hand, there is naturally no need to be too anxious. However, if Milan wants to win, it must attack. This is when they are anxious, not when they are anxious.
As Zhao Yaning thought, soon Gattuso had to expand his sweeping range and frequently intervened in the frontcourt to do sweeping. What made Zhao Yaning even more interesting was that Gattuso intervened, while Ambrosini behind him was still unwilling to intervene behind.
Sure enough, Milan's physical strength can no longer keep up.
This guy Gattuso cannot be calculated based on ordinary people. His physical strength has been very surprising all the time. However, if you don’t look at his performance and carefully look at other people, you can still analyze the actual situation of the game and the opponent’s physical strength.
Obviously, the fierce battle of more than 100 minutes has caused great physical strength for Milan players. The attack just now was launched by Kafu, and the counter-attack can only rely on Gattuso. Obviously, their physical strength is no longer enough.
This made Zhao Yaning even happier. Although Gattuso is indeed a big trouble now, how can one problem be compared to a team? Now, their defeat has already shown that what they need to do is add another kick to them at the last moment.
If you can score a goal at the last moment, then there will be no suspense in this game.
But how should I play this ball?
Gattuso's defense is still very strict, and if Zhao Yaning wants to break through, he must be careful of a foul. In this case, he has to think of a way to deal with it.
Soon, Zhao Yaning thought of a method: although the method is not new, he believes it is still useful. What's more, under such a fatigue state, he doesn't have enough mind to think about how to kick out the new idea.
After getting the ball again, Zhao Yaning took the ball and tried to attack on the left. His movement immediately made Gattuso run over and together with Kafu, he wanted to intercept Zhao Yaning.
Kafu is no longer young. He is no longer the main player this season, but his physical strength is still pretty good. Moreover, he has a lot of experience. At this time, it can be said that he is a more difficult defender than Odu. Moreover, the game has been going on for so long, and Zhao Yaning has also consumed a lot of energy. At this time, although his breakthrough ability has not dropped much, it is difficult for him to think that flashes of inspiration. As long as Kafu and Gattuso can defend properly, they may be able to stop him.
However, Zhao Yaning's approach was not intended to make a breakthrough by himself. After attracting the attention of the two people, he directly passed the ball with a long kick, kicked the ball over the heads of the two people, and kicked it towards the right side.
"Zhao Yaning's long pass...Walcott!"
On the right side of Liverpool, Kuyt was standing. Because Kuyt's breakthrough was not good and he had almost no talent in this area, Milan did not defend him seriously. Even Milan replaced his left back because he was enough to defend this wing with Maldini's replacement.
However, when Zhao Yaning passed the ball to the right, it was not Kuyt who ran to the front to catch the ball, but Walcott.
"Walcott's high-speed shock!"
Walcott's impact is an attack method that no one can underestimate. Although it is simple and straightforward, it is still extremely terrifying. Especially now, when Walcott starts to attack, his defensive power is lacking in front of him, and it is too late for Ambroseni to fill up. Although Maldini has tried his best to get over, compared to Walcott's speed, he does not have enough confidence to catch up.
Such an impact has been staged many times in the Premier League, but it rarely appears in the Champions League. However, at this time, Walcott's impact still made everyone feel excited. In the overtime of the Champions League, such a high-speed impact is an extremely huge test for Milan's old defense!
Milan has not been arranged and simulated training for Walcott, but what they did not expect was that Walcott's speed could be so fast. Simulation can simulate a lot of things, but sometimes, some people's playing styles really cannot be simulated. Even Zhao Yaning's playing styles, Milan can simulate very well, but they forgot how to simulate Walcott.
When he was physically insufficient, changing to such a counterattack expert would definitely be a killer. Just now, because he saw him in the middle and Kuyt on the right, Milan players took it for granted that he would launch a counterattack in the middle - everyone knew that counterattack in the middle was faster - but Walcott was not stupid, even if he was stupid, Zhao Yaning was not stupid. He would not let Walcott counterattack in the middle, otherwise, it would be easy to be intercepted by Milan. He kicked the ball to the right, that is, to allow Walcott to rush to the right with speed. This is Milan's shortcomings and also where Walcott's speed can play its greatest advantage. Milan's carelessness gave him this opportunity, and he must make good use of this opportunity and catch Milan off guard.
Maldini was still a step slower. He had only had time to block Walcott's inward line, but he didn't have time to intercept Walcott. Walcott accelerated and rushed towards the baseline. He didn't think about cutting inward. Although it was good to cut inward into the penalty area and shot overnight, he knew that doing so would make him famous overnight, but what he knew more was that doing that would actually be a waste of this excellent opportunity. His skills were not enough to break into the penalty area, and he did not have the courage to shoot in the Champions League final. He was not strong and his mind was not good, but fortunately, his personality was outstanding enough.
One foot down, and then, cross it!
Walcott's pass was extremely unreliable - his long passes have always been a weakness among his weaknesses, not to mention that he was only concerned about his own speed, but forgot that his teammates were not Superman. Kuyt in the middle just ran outside the penalty area at this time, and saw the football passing by like a cannonball. He looked at the ball and stopped his pace helplessly - unless it was his alien, he would definitely not be able to compete for this ball.
However, Zhao Yaning had long expected that his pass would not be too reliable - he knew the weight of his teammates. After passing the ball, he also rushed up on the left side, Gattuso and Kafu were following him. When the football fell to the left side, Zhao Yaning judged the right landing point, but the two people around him also judged the landing point with him. The three of them ran towards the landing point together, all wanting to win the first landing point.
However, Zhao Yaning was still one step faster than them. He assisted a few steps while running and jumped up suddenly. Although Gatuso jumped up almost at the same time, because Zhao Yaning prepared better, he jumped almost one head higher than him, Gatuso had no chance to win this header.
However, Gattuso did not intend to give up defense. When he jumped against Zhao Yaning, he squeezed Zhao Yaning with his body without hesitation. When his hand jumped up, he raised it over his head, and after jumping up, he hit Zhao Yaning's waist, which made Zhao Yaning unable to exert force.
Whether the foul is fouled in such a jumping and elbow lifting is between the two. The referee can judge or not. Gattuso's defense has always been on the verge of foul, and this time is no exception. He stopped Zhao Yaning from heading the ball well and prevented Zhao Yaning from pushing the ball to Kuyt.
However, Zhao Yaning had no such plan. He lowered his head, shook his head violently, and hit his head behind him.
There, Liser was unguarded. This Premier League most famous cannon kicked the goal with a long shot!
"gooooal!!! John Riser!!! The last minute goal! Riser scored, Liverpool secured the victory, Zhao Yaning scored a hat-trick with one goal and three assists, he completely dominated the trend of the game, Liverpool won, Liverpool won!"
"Milan finally fell into a collapse stage at the last moment of the game. Because of the backward score, their mentality was anxious, and their physical strength was insufficient, they conceded the ball continuously in overtime and were no longer as strong as before. They were finally defeated by Zhao Yaning's repeated attacks. They lost all their efforts and hopes in this season."
The fourth goal finally finalized the game. The 4-2 score gave Milan no hope of turning around.
Maldini, who failed to defend, stood there blankly without any movement for a long time.
Finally lost... The nightmare two years ago has been staged again today. But unlike two years ago, at that time, Milan still retained the most hope, and could still hope to meet again and get revenge, but now...
Everything is over. Milan is about to decline from this moment. We fail and are powerless to reverse.
Maldini felt a surge of weakness in his body and both mental and physical fatigue, which made him slowly lower his head towards the audience.
This is an apology I owe you two years.
