Chapter 117 Genius Flash

Arsenal made up their minds to defend and keep their lead. In the Premier League, Wenger, who has always advocated offense, couldn't help but choose to be conservative at this time. After all, it was the first time such a close contact. When it comes to the Champions League trophy, Wenger's heart is also full of apprehension.

Arsenal chose to defend, while AC Milan, who was one point behind, chose to attack aggressively, but Arsenal set up a tight defense line in front of the penalty area, and AC Milan's offense was just blooming but not fruitful.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Degan received a pass from Kaka in the penalty area, turned around and hit the goal. After being touched by Lehmann, he hit the post. Arsenal led 1:0 in the first half.

When Ancelotti returned to the locker room, the live cameras faithfully recorded his gloomy face. It can be seen that he was very dissatisfied with Degan's refusal to take a penalty kick, and he was even angry.

Although he renewed his contract with AC Milan until 2008, Ancelotti now urgently needs a Champions League trophy to stabilize his position, but when he got a penalty kick, Digan actually promoted the bullshit fair play spirit and rejected it. How can he not be angry.

When we arrived in the locker room, Ancelotti didn't even look at Digan, as if he didn't exist anymore. In view of the team's backward situation, Ancelotti made the first personnel adjustment of the game , with Rui Costa, replaced Seedorf, to strengthen the offense.

The expression of Seedorf, who was replaced by Ben, suddenly changed. He didn't expect that he would be replaced at all, and wanted to question him, but seeing Ancelotti's face, the Dutchman still wisely chose to shut up, but The pimple in my heart has already knotted.

"There are still forty-five minutes in the game. I don't want you to be affected by the first half of the game, and let your hands and feet attack in the second half. If you still want that trophy, you must play 200% of your energy!"

After Ancelotti said this, he turned around and walked out of the locker room. When he walked to the door, he couldn't help but think of Istanbul last season. He still couldn't let go of that damn experience.

If he really made it to the finals twice and lost the championship both times, then AC Milan would probably become a laughing stock. His original "Millennium Second" hat might fall on his head.

Maldini also stood up at this time: "Okay! The first half has passed, and now we are still one point behind, and there are still forty-five minutes in the game. This is enough for us, and it is not time to admit defeat." All we have to do is score goals in the second half and beat the opponent, I don't think anyone wants to repeat what happened last season! This time, we want to win! To be the European champions!"

Degan just sat quietly. What made him refuse a penalty was that he didn't regret it at all. Although it would cost him the most important championship in his career, Degan just didn't regret it. Using such a penalty , defeating the opponent, even if he touches the championship trophy in his hand, Degan will not be happy.

It was time to play. When Degan walked out of the player tunnel, his face suddenly turned cold, and he looked up to the sky. It was actually raining. The light rain was sparse and not very heavy. Milan may be even more difficult.

Premier League teams like Arsenal have a set of open and close tactics. The rainy battle has not had a great impact on them, but it is different for a technical team like AC Milan.

In the first game of this season, AC Milan almost suffered a defeat against Ascoli's newly promoted team because of a rainy battle. If Digan hadn't stepped on the bench at the last moment, it would have been completed in a short period of time. For a hat trick, AC Milan is really in danger.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal took the lead in attacking, but it can be seen that they did not invest a lot of troops in the attack. There were only Henry and Ljungberg in front, and Pires supported them. The others shrank to the midfield position. .

Henry's shot from outside the penalty area did not threaten Fiore, it fell directly into his arms, and then immediately threw the ball to launch an attack. AC Milan wanted to play fast, but Arsenal returned to defense faster.

AC Milan can only keep turning their feet in the midfield, looking for opportunities, but now the team is behind 0:1, and it is the rain game they are least good at, and the Milan players are gradually becoming impatient.

In the forty-seventh minute, Kaka shot from outside the penalty area, but the angle was too straight, Lehmann directly pressed the ball under him.

In the 50th minute, Henry fouled back after losing the ball in the frontcourt and got a yellow card.

In the 52nd minute, Kaka broke through the middle and shot, and Lehmann saved the ball.

In the 54th minute, after Rui Costa broke through, he was tackled by Eboue in front of the penalty area. Degan's free kick hit the wall directly, and then made a supplementary shot, but it hit Inzaghi and popped out. bottom line.

In the fifty-ninth minute, Henry took a corner kick, Costacurta made a header to clear the siege, AC Milan quickly counterattacked, but after receiving the ball, Inzaghi was cleared by Campbell before he could take a shot.

In the 60th minute, Ancelotti replaced Inzaghi with Gilardino and continued to strengthen the attack.

In the 62nd minute, Kaladze handed the ball to Kaka in the middle on the left side, and Kaka then distributed it to Gilardino on the right side, who shot slightly wide from outside the penalty area.

In the 66th minute, Degan passed two people on the left, but broke into the penalty area and was attacked by Lehmann, who got the ball.

A minute later, Degan intercepted Eboue's ball and hit the goal in the penalty area. Lehmann played bravely and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

In the 69th minute, Degan received a pass from Rui Costa and hit the goal in the penalty area. Lehman, who was possessed by Yassin, was destined to become Degan's nemesis in today's game. Gan's shot was denied.

Seventy minutes into the game, although AC Milan took the initiative on the field and had countless chances, it was a pity that they couldn't beat Lehmann's ten fingers every time they shot.

"It seems that it is really difficult for AC Milan to win today's game. Maybe Degan shouldn't have rejected that penalty in the first half. Now Arsenal have made it clear that they will stick to that goal. Look at every The first time AC Milan attacked Arsenal's half, there were at least seven defensive players waiting in front of Arsenal's penalty area. In addition, in this game, Lehmann played at a super level. Even if AC Milan has a super shooter like Digan It's not easy to knock on Arsenal's goal!"

Although the Arsenal fans in the stands watched their supported team being besieged by their opponents, they were extremely worried, but if the game continues according to this situation, they may really win the first European championship trophy in team history.

Some Arsenal fans were already celebrating, singing loudly and cheering as if the game was over and Arsenal were on the podium.

"Arsenal played really ugly in this game. Wenger experienced this kind of scene for the first time. He was obviously too conservative. The team with the strongest attacking power in the Premier League has now forgotten how to attack. The match that people were looking forward to before the game also came to naught because of Arsenal's ugly defense. I have to say that Arsenal's passive style of play is simply a retrogression of football. It is because of this that they won the championship. Nothing to be proud of!"

The Italian commentator naturally hopes that Arsenal can aggressively attack and allow AC Milan to gain more offensive space, but if Digan hears this, his evaluation will only be two words-fart!

Attack can please the audience, but only the real champion is the last word. No matter what method is used, only the one standing on the championship podium is the real winner.

The losing side, no matter how wonderful the offense is, is still a loser. Who will remember the loser!

AC Milan has won the Champions League six times, who are their opponents in the six games, and who else will remember! ?

When the game progressed to the 76th minute, AC Milan played even more impatiently. Although they firmly controlled the ball at their feet, they even had very few chances to shoot.

It seems that it is not easy for AC Milan to tie the score.

Kaka got the ball in the middle and hit the ball into Arsenal's penalty area with a through ball. Although the ball penetrated Arsenal's defense, it seemed that the pass was a bit too big.

Eboue was protecting the ball and wanted to let the ball out of the baseline, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Lehmann shouting: "Be careful!"

Eboue was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt a huge force that knocked him out of shape, let the ball out, and then hooked the football with one foot.

Eboue turned pale with fright and wanted to block it with his body, but it was too late.

Kaka's seemingly non-threatening pass actually caused a panic in Arsenal's penalty area.

"Deegan! It's Deegan! Deegan caught the ball! It's unbelievable. After more than an hour of the game, Deegan can still explode with such a fast speed. It's as if he just came on the court."

It was Digan who caught the ball. Kaka's pass just now was indeed a little too big, but Digan did not give up, and caught the moment of slack in Eboue, and fished the ball back from near the baseline.

When he turned around, Lehmann had already pounced and blocked the near corner. AC Milan's players also seemed unable to react in time and did not follow up immediately. At this time, Degan had no other choice but to shoot.

Under Eboue's pressure, Degan's body center of gravity has been lost. At the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, he kicked the ball out. The ball didn't look powerful, but it happened to bypass Lehmann's Overhead, flew towards the far end of the goal.

Degan fell heavily on the ground, his eyes fixed on the football. After the football passed Lehmann, it began to fall, but it seemed that the angle was not enough. In an instant, Degan's heart was in his throat. It was the first time for Digan to be so nervous.

The football hit the ground, hit the goal line, and bounced.

At this moment, the entire Stade de France was deathly quiet, and everyone held their breath and stared at the football.

The Italian commentators in the studio all stood up, and the "goal" was stuck in their throats, but they hadn't waited until it was released.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, every meal.

The bouncing football happened a little cheaper, and then ~~~~~~~~~

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooy! The ball scored! Absolute zero -degree angle, Digan turned around at zero -degree angle, scored this vital goal, AC Milan tied the score, and the game returned to the same running line. Milan still have a chance! They are not dead yet! Kaka! Degan! Another perfect match between the Wright brothers! AC Milan was pulled back from the brink by these two brothers! Arsenal kept the Champions League for 995 minutes, no The record of goals conceded was broken at this moment!"

The ball went in!

After Degan saw that the ball really went into the goal, he felt that his heart stopped beating at that moment. He wanted to stand up and run to his heart's content, but before he could struggle to get up, he was shouted and screamed The Milan players were on the ground.

"Rod! You bloody bastard, well done! Well done!"

Kaka lay next to Digan's ear and roared loudly. It was rare for Kaka, who was always gentle and gentle, to burst into foul language in extreme excitement.

Lehmann looked at the football in the goal in a daze. He still can't believe that Degan can score the ball under such circumstances. He can swear to God that he has blocked the chance of Degan's shot. From all angles, the goal still went in. How to explain this can only be attributed to the flash of genius.

Arsenal's players are also extremely disappointed at the moment. They have held on for such a long time, but Degan seized an opportunity that was not a chance and tied the score.

Eboue's face was ashen. If he had been more decisive just now and kicked the ball out of bounds, perhaps this goal would not have existed, but it was that second of slack that made the team's efforts throughout the game. In vain.

Wenger on the sidelines also had his head in his hands, and he had no choice but to accept this reality. The two sides returned to the same starting line. Maybe he is regretting it now. If he can be less conservative and continue to put pressure on AC Milan, maybe the situation will be different. It's not what it is now, but it's too late to regret it now.

In contrast to Arsenal's loss is AC Milan's side. All the players rushed to the sidelines, shouting and cheering. Ancelotti was also shaking his fists vigorously. The haze on his face just now , also disappeared.

The AC Milan fans in the stands cheered even more, and some fans were still roaring loudly at the mournful Arsenal fans. Just now, the Arsenal fans were still celebrating the team's first Champions League trophy in advance, but now they all look It's no different than a wake.

Digan was pulled up, and every AC Milan player stepped forward to hug him. Although they only tied the score, this goal was really precious to them.

"Nice job! Rod! Well done!"

Kaka can finally breathe a sigh of relief at this time. If AC Milan is defeated by Arsenal 1-0 in this game, he can imagine how Digan will be blamed after the game. It was because Degan refused the penalty that AC Milan lost the game. At that time, I am afraid that Degan will become the sinner of the entire Milan city, and countless people will jump out to criticize Degan.

Fortunately, none of this became the first, AC Milan tied the score, and it was Digan who scored the goal.

Digan also calmed down at this moment. Although he looked very calm before this, his heart was also very chaotic, and he was also under tremendous pressure. Fortunately, with this goal, everything is over.

"Ricardo! As I said, you can trust me!"

In the ensuing game, AC Milan, which equalized the score, became more and more courageous, while Arsenal's morale was severely hit. Although Wenger rushed to the sidelines several times, waving his arms and letting the players attack, Arsenal The players obviously have no way to play their due strength.

After all, seeing the champion fly away suddenly, no one can adjust in such a short period of time. Now Wenger can only hope that the team will win the favor of Goddess Luck and drag the game into overtime game, or simply dragged into a penalty shootout.

But Digan obviously didn't want to let the game continue endlessly. Many of AC Milan's veterans were exhausted. After he scored the equalizing goal, Ancelotti made substitution adjustments , Serginho replaced Costacurta, and Karadze returned to the position of central defender to partner with Maldini.

If the game enters overtime, it will be really dangerous for Arsenal to rely on Henry's ability to attack Milan's defense after they regain their composure.

At the 87th minute of the game, the players on both sides could no longer run, but Degan still didn't intend to stop just like that.

At this time, the best choice is to spend the rest of the time tacitly, and then decide the winner in overtime or penalty shootouts.

AC Milan also shrank the defense line under the signal of Ancelotti, leaving only Degan in front to contain Arsenal's defense line.

Kaka got the ball and passed it to Rui Costa before Ljungberg pounced on him. Rui Costa immediately played the ball, handed the ball to Digan, and then immediately retreated, ready to respond.

But Degan didn't pass the ball, but went straight forward after getting the ball. Campbell's physical strength was also exhausted, and his brain short-circuited for a moment, and Degan rushed past him.

"Stop him! Stop him!"

Seeing that Degan was going to attack, Lehmann yelled hoarsely. At this moment, there was only one Toure left in front of him. Just now, Campbell made a defensive mistake, which made Arsenal's entire defense line instantly lose touch.

Toure was also shocked at the moment, and couldn't help hesitating for a moment. It was this hesitation that gave Digan the opportunity to pull his left foot horizontally, followed by a long shot.
