Godfather Of Champions

Ancelotti told his players about his "leadership theory" so that they don't have to worry about the gap between the two goals. As long as we maintain pressure on them, these two goals will become a burden on the opponents. Everyone thinks what the head coach said is very reasonable. Leading is not necessarily a good thing, especially for a rookie team like Nottingham Forest that has no experience in winning major tournaments. A two-goal lead will not become a drag on them at the last moment.

After the start of the second half, AC Milan saw that Nottingham Forest did not intend to attack them, so they still bombarded the forest team's penalty area.

The players of the forest team have seen a lot of these scenes, and they know how to deal with the enemy's offense.

In addition to shrinking the defensive line and not giving Inzaghi any chance, it is relying on the tireless running of the two lines of players in the center and front to curb AC Milan's midfield organization.

Dunn's defensive counterattack is an active defensive counterattack. This is completely different from the defensive counterattack most people think of. Even Ancelotti did not expect the forest team's defensive counterattack tactics to be so diverse before this game...

You say that they are a complete press? The defensive line has stuck to its post again. You say they are shrinking defense, right? The in-field counter-grab in the frontcourt and the AC Milan player smashed...

Ancelotti really doubted whether Dunn was of Italian descent.

※※※

Dunn told his men that the fifteen minutes at the beginning of the second half was the most dangerous moment. At that time, it was easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity to counterattack because he did not enter the game in time. He asked the players to concentrate at the beginning of the game until the end of the game.

AC Milan launched a fierce attack on the Forest goal as he expected, this time even more fierce than the first half.

The gap between the two **** is not a useless display to put them there.

Pirlo was running nonstop, Albertini followed him every step of the way. Stop the ball when you see the opportunity, without hesitation! From his actions, you can't tell that this is a veteran who is almost thirty-six years old and will retire after playing this game.

There are too few opportunities to get rid of the opponent. Pirlo decided not to organize the attack for the time being. He gave more football to Seedorf and Kaka, and he took Albertini to go around.

His relationship with Albertini... how to say it, it's complicated. It is also a teacher and a friend, and at the same time a competitor. Because they have the same position and similar technical characteristics, Albertini's advantage lies in experience, and Pirlo's advantage lies in his youth. Finally, when Pirlo, who had been carefully trained by Albertini, grew up and could completely replace Demi, Demi was told by Galliani that there was no place for him in the team.

It can be said that Pirlo indirectly caused Albertini's departure.

This is the normal metabolism of any team, but it happened in AC Milan, which is proud of being full of humanity, respect and loyalty. It feels somewhat shocking.

At this time Pirlo has no time to think about the various grievances between himself and Albertini. He is the brain of the team. His characteristic is that he is more calm than anyone. These things are not enough to interfere with him. The only time he lost the game so far was when Albertini scored a free kick. But that emotion is only fleeting. As someone from Inter Milan to AC Milan, Pirlo understands the cruelty of professional football. Professional football nowadays doesn't believe in loyalty...

Pirlo's short-term task is to drag Albertini to run with him and consume the opponent's physical strength. He is now more of a football transfer station, not really responsible for organizing the offense. The football reached his feet and was quickly passed out. Albertini certainly knew what Pirlo was doing, but he dared not follow it. If he doesn't keep up, who knows if Pirlo will use this opportunity to transform himself and become the commander on the court again?

Knowing that the other party was consuming his own energy, Albertini gritted his teeth to follow.

※※※

Kaka received more passes. Everyone believed in his and Pirlo's abilities. Pirlo decided to temporarily avoid the edge, and the team's offensive task fell on his shoulders.

To be honest, Kaka played quite uncomfortable in this game. He is the kind of player who needs space to speed up his breakthrough. He is not a player like Pirlo who focuses on organizing and passing the ball. He is not even a midfielder like Zidane. He is more modern than Zidane. It is a typical representative of the development of modern football to this day-excellent physical fitness, fast speed, good dribbling, strong ability to score after insertion, and also help defense.

Such a midfielder was rarely seen more than a decade ago.

The football was handed over to Kaka, and he always wanted to find a way to help the team score, whether it was assisting teammates or doing it himself.

This time, he chose to come by himself.

Efforts to protect the football, despite Wood's constant impact from behind, Kaka knocked the football forward. He tried to break through, causing Pique, who was in front of him, to skew, and a gap appeared.

Behind Wood saw Kaka kicking his foot, knowing that he was about to shoot, and quickly shoveled, hoping to shovel the football out one step earlier.

He was still late, and Kaka swung his legs faster than he thought.

"Boom!"

The football got in through the gap where Pikwe escaped!

Wood only shoveled the splattered grass clippings.

Break through, I still have a long shot! Long shots are a good way to break dense defense.

The football flew towards the goal with a scream, and Van der Sar rushed in the air, slapped the football out with a single palm, and was shocked by the sound of breathing in the stands.

"Good risk! Kaka's shot was saved by Van der Sar. This was AC Milan's most threatening attack in the second half!"

Kaka, who had not scored a goal, held his head in both hands, a little upset.

Wood got up from the ground and stared at the back of his opponent. Kaka in the second half seemed to have changed individuals, which significantly increased the pressure on Wood. As a defensive midfielder, Wood can't deal with many midfielders, many of which are world-class midfielders, such as Ronaldinho and Riquelme. But the opponent in front of him is different from the previous front midfielders. Kaka has the physical quality of a back midfielder, and ordinary collisions basically cannot pose any threat to him unless it is a foul...

But Dunn didn't let him give his opponent too many direct free kicks at the front of the penalty area. If he didn't foul, that's it...let him shoot the ball.

Wood, who has watched the video of the Kaka match, knows nothing about this Brazilian. He knows that Kaka is fast and has outstanding long-range shooting ability.

Tension your nerves at all times.

The corner kick is precious to AC Milan, who is too late to start the situation, but at the same time they have to plan to prevent the forest team from counterattacking.

Maldini and Nesta both went up to fight for the header, while Otto, Jankulovsky, Gattuso and Ambrosini stayed behind to defend.

This was also specifically explained by Ancelotti during the intermission.

The corner kick did not pose any threat to Van der Sar’s goal. Neither Maldini nor Nesta reached the ball. Before them, Pepe had used his strong air superiority and bounce ability to top the football. Got out.

As expected, Nottingham Forest launched a quick counterattack.

Fortunately, he arranged four guards in the backcourt this time, otherwise it might be another loss.

Van der Vaart's dribble was stopped by Gattuso. He wanted to pass to Ribery, but this move was seen by AC Milan. Ambrosini followed Ribery every step of the way and Ashley Young. On the other side, Jankulowski was there, and under hesitation, Van der Vaart lost the ball.

AC Milan immediately switched from defensive to offensive.

Gattuso handed the football to Pirlo. Pirlo decided to make good use of this opportunity. He only passed the football to Kaka.

He looked for the blank belt in the middle of the forest team and looked for George Wood's defense zone. He didn't believe that Kaka would not be able to beat this hairy boy.

Of course Kaka didn't believe it anymore. He originally received the ball with his back facing the offensive direction. Wood was stuck firmly behind him, not allowing Kaka to turn around. But I didn’t expect that Kaka swiped the football away from them while catching the ball. At the same time, Kaka quickly turned around, just like a motorcycle turning, and completed this time with his hands on the ground. Turning action between the places.

Wood didn't expect Kaka to be able to do this step under such a tight mark. In a moment of surprise, Kaka had already turned around and was chasing the ball.

Wood did not dare to neglect, and turned around quickly, catching up with Kaka at his own speed, and then, before the opponent had completely controlled the football, he shoveled the football out of Kaka's control range. At the same time, he and Kaka The cards collided and the two fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The Milan fans booed loudly. They thought it was a foul, but the referee didn't say anything. AC Milan’s another offense is over...

The chest of Wood's jersey was soaked in sweat, and the red there was deeper than the red elsewhere. Kaka is not much better, so that the high-speed sprint is forced to be interrupted is a great test of his physical fitness.

The two lay on the ground and took a breath before being pulled up by their teammates.

Albertini patted Wood on the shoulder and praised his performance.

Pirlo pulled Kaka and asked if the pass he just made was appropriate and if it should be bigger to help him get rid of Wood.

Kaka waved his hand, indicating that the pass was just right.

Then he glanced at Wood, everyone was not feeling well, the confrontation just now.

I heard that this person is also of Brazilian descent, which is really weird. Which one is better, he or Gattuso in the team?

※※※

"Kakabi was a lot active in the first half..." Chris Lak said from the coaching bench.

Tang next to him nodded in agreement.

"It's normal. AC Milan was able to appear here. It was Kaka alone. He has this strength. It was an accident for him in the first half. He didn't expect our defense to be so tight. When he got used to it, just It's our turn to be nervous..." Dunn said, he was not surprised. He knows what strength Kaka has. He would be surprised if Kaka didn't perform at all in the entire game.

Ask Wood to defend Kaka, and Wood will feel tremendous pressure. But this kind of pressure is good for him. To continue to grow, this kind of pressure is essential.

※※※

"Keep the ball to me." After calming the frantic breathing before, Kaka said to Pirlo, "I think I have a way to deal with the number 13. Just now, my ball was a little far away, and next time he won't There is such a chance."

Pirlo nodded: "If you don't say I will pass it to you. I was entangled by Demi. You are the only one who can break through their defense."

The two separated quickly, Pirlo returned to the back and Kaka stood in the frontcourt.

Soon, the football was sent to Kaka's feet again by Pirlo.

This time Kaka was not back to catch the ball, he received a pass from Pirlo while running forward. Seeing the football rolling, Kaka suddenly increased his speed. He and Pirlo knew exactly what kind of pass he wanted. Pirlo knew what kind of pass he wanted—the passing speed was as fast as possible, and the force was as strong as possible, so that he could kick the speed up while running. .

Once Kaka's speed was raised, there were not many people in the world who could stop him without fouling.

Wood noticed that Kaka was speeding up suddenly, knowing that he was about to catch the ball, so he raised his speed. He wants to push Kaka to a dead end, with Pikwe in front of him, and he and Pikwe will flick back and forth, without worrying that the football can't be stopped.

Kaka seems to be really forced to a dead end. Pique was close to him, and Wood was pressing behind.

He received the football, and Pique was close at hand.

Just when everyone thought that Pique would leave Kaka with Wood, the Brazilian's left ankle flicked lightly, and the football slipped between Pique's legs!

At the same time, Kaka suddenly stopped and changed direction, wiped it from the side of Pikwe who was still stunned, and a beautiful ball was passed!

Wood didn't expect Kaka to break through the encirclement between himself and Pique so easily. Although he was surprised, the speed at his feet did not decrease.

Pikwe was like a wooden stake, Kaka broke through from his right side, and Wood passed at high speed from his left.

At this time Kaka was only five meters away from the restricted area, and his speed had obviously been brought up. If he doesn't foul, he will definitely break through. Although the boss said that he can't give AC Milan a free kick in the dangerous area, but to give a free kick, or let the other party directly into the penalty area to shoot or score? Which is more dangerous?

Wood didn't hesitate anymore and turned to tackle the football from the side. Although it was a tackle, his foot was raised high, almost to the position of Kaka's knee. Sure enough, Kaka stabbed the football quickly, but the person ran into it.

This time, there is no doubt that it is a foul. The referee's whistle sounded amid huge boos from the Milan fans and was almost ignored by the players.

After Kaka fell out, she knelt on the ground and shrugged her shoulders helplessly. When the kid shoveled out from the ground, he didn't think about making a tackle. Seeing the height of his foot, it was clearly directed at his legs.

The referee gave Wood a yellow card, and Wood didn't mind.

Dunn stood up from the coach's bench. He walked to the sidelines, frowning slightly. Wood could not mind this yellow card, he could not but mind. As the defensive core player, he is also marking the opponent's trump card. With thirty minutes left in the game, who can guarantee that he will not get another yellow card?

"George!!" He waved his hand vigorously to make Wood run over, and he wanted to teach him the opportunity.

Wood saw Dunn beckoning to him, so he dropped the referee and ran over.

"You did a good job, but next time if he wants to foul, he will do it when he just started." Dunn shook his head.

Wood had a different opinion: "I saw Piquet in front, I didn't want to foul, I didn't expect..."

"Yes, yes, I know." Dunn nodded vigorously, "Now you have a yellow card on you, you have to pay attention. Choose the place and timing of the foul wisely, and if you foul, make it immediately. Expressing a friendly move, this will give you a lot of impression points from the referee... Don't give me a face like the whole world owes you five million. You must not be punished! do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Wood replied quite simply, but Dunn was still worried. After all, the situation on the football field changes rapidly. Who knows what will happen in a minute?

After returning Wood to the court, Dunn did not immediately turn back to the coaching bench. He stood on the sidelines and watched AC Milan's free kick.

Pirlo's free kick bypassed the forest team's wall and flew towards the goal. Van der Sar, who performed well this time, once again saved the team. He jumped out of his body, took off the football in the air with both hands, and did not even give AC Milan a corner kick.

Although this attack was still a futile return, the AC Milan people saw hope from it, because Kaka was alive.

As long as Kaka is alive, AC Milan's offense will be a scene.

In this season, there have been countless times in early summer. When the AC Milan striker did not score, Kaka stood up as the top scorer; when AC Milan was not in shape and was about to lose, Kaka stood up to turn the tide.

AC Milan stumbled into the finals this season, thanks to Kaka alone.

Everyone has this kind of psychological dependence on this handsome Brazilian guy-as long as we get stuck, we won't lose!

※※※

Five minutes later, ten minutes have passed since Dunn's "Fifteen Minute Threat Theory", the score is still 2:0, and Nottingham Forest leads.

The fans of the Forest team in the stands sang tirelessly. They praised the Forest team, praised Ribery who scored, praised the captain Albertini, praised the defensive champion George Wood, and even praised Tony Dunn.

Dunn put a snack for a while and walked back to the coach's bench.

Seventy minutes, only twenty minutes are left for AC Milan. They have to score two goals in twenty minutes to drag the game into overtime. If they want to resolve the battle within ninety minutes, they must score. Three goals... Dunn didn't believe that his painstakingly managed defense line would be so unplayed that he could throw three goals to his opponent in twenty minutes.

His team has never conceded three goals in such a short period of time.

AC Milan saw that the offensive had little effect and began to reclaim it and allocate physical energy reasonably. The game has reached a critical point where both sides are nearly exhausted.

Nottingham Forest players still remember what Dunn said at halftime: After scoring a few more goals, don't lose if there is a chance to score, leaving the opponent completely desperate.

Seeing AC Milan's recovery, the Forest team began to try to press out and attack.

Van der Vaart used his ability to dispatch and command in such a positional battle, sending many passes that threatened AC Milan's defense. Dunn knows that Milan's central defender partner is an old one, and an injury-ridden state is unstable this season. The defense that was originally the most proud of the Milanese has now become their biggest loophole.

Therefore, Dunn requires the team to pass more direct passes when attacking, especially the rib zone between the center back and the full back, which is the best place for direct passes.

Van der Vaart sent a direct pass there again, but this time it was seen through by Maldini ahead of time and the ball was cut off.

Maldini, who broke the ball, did not hand the football to Pirlo. He kicked the football directly to the front. The goal was AC Milan's No. 22, Brazilian Kaka!

At this time, when the official Forest team was on the offense, the only person left behind except for the four guards was George Wood.

With Albertini, Wood is not involved in the offense most of the time. Another reason is that Kaka has been hovering near the center line since just now. Wood is very concerned about this. Milan basically recovered the whole team, except for Inzaghi and Kaka remained in front.

His intuition was quickly verified, and it was not useless for Kaka to stay in front-he received an accurate long pass from Maldini!

Wood began to move closer to Kaka. He planned to break the ball while Kaka hadn't speeded up, or use a foul to completely end AC Milan's attack.

Kaka hopped the football out, crosscutting in front of Wood, and Wood, who had just raised his speed, had to descend. Now that both of them are in the middle circle, he still has a chance to break the ball.

Dunn said that if he wanted to foul, he would be as early as possible, but Wood didn't want to foul. He thinks Kaka is a very powerful person, but if he can only stop the opponent by fouling, it means he is not as good as Kaka. He wants to beat Kaka upright, without fouling, and relying on his own defensive skills.

Kaka brought the football up, and he felt that George Wood had been following by his side, like a leopard running with its prey, waiting for an opportunity.

Kaka didn't mind the opponent running with him, because he didn't intend to give the opponent any chance.

Now the Forest team has only one defensive line in the backcourt, four guards and George Wood, and there is a large space for him to sprint. When his speed rushed up, Kaka was confident, that line of defense simply couldn't hold back his breakthrough.

Wood was observing Kaka's dribbling during the high-speed running. He expected the opponent to take a big trip, and he could use his sharp tackle to destroy the football, or come here to force overtaking to separate the football from Kaka.

But... Kaka's dribbling rhythm is very stable. In high-speed running, the football is always not too close to his legs, so Wood can't find the right time to kick. Every time he wants to steal the ball, his speed will slow down, and then Kaka will take the opportunity to get away from him, and then he has to speed up to catch up, then look at the timing to prepare for the next interception, slow down and pull. Driving distance...

In this repetition, the two were getting closer and closer to the forest team's penalty area.

"Wood was chasing Kaka, but he didn't have a chance to break the ball. Both sides are very fast, Kaka's dribbling is very reasonable! Wood has to follow...now they have entered the 30-meter area!"

This time, Pikwe dragged behind and switched to Pepe to defend Kaka. Pepe's speed is considered fast among central defenders, and it is really a suitable candidate to use him to block Kaka.

Kaka always raised his head when he took the ball. He saw Pepe’s intentions very early. He didn’t give Pepe and himself a chance to go head-to-head, and when he was about to meet, he suddenly slashed out the football. Accelerate again, bypassing Pepe.

Pepe's speed is not too slow, but when faced with Kaka running at full speed, she still has some strength... After he turned around, Kaka had already surpassed him by two positions and broke into the penalty area. !

"Kaka! Kaka!" The Italian commentator exclaimed excitedly. Like him, there were AC Milan fans in the stands. They were silent for most of the time and finally found a breakthrough to vent their emotions. At this moment, the cheers from AC Milan fans resounded across the sky, completely suppressing the boos of Forest team fans.

Dunn stood up from the coach's bench when Kaka was just speeding up, and he kept chanting "Take him down! Take him down!" He hoped that Wood was smart enough to choose inconspicuous little moves to prevent Kaka from breaking through. .

But he hasn't waited until that scene, and now he sees Kaka break through Pepe and enter the penalty area. He couldn't help but swear.

"Damn! He doesn't know how fast Kaka's dribbling is! Did he watch those videos in vain! This idiot! An idiot!!"

Once in the penalty area, Wood just wanted to foul.

Pikwe came up to make up the defense, which was Van der Sar’s last line of defense before the Forest team.

Wood has been following Kaka, but has never been able to find a suitable opportunity. The only chance now is the moment Kaka shoots. Not to foul, but also to prevent Kaka from shooting, even if it's just a disturbance.

Kaka didn't give Pique a chance to force himself to slow down, he suddenly kicked and shot!

Wood shoveled into the football in front of Kaka, it was up to whoever was faster!

He tackled the ball, or the football hit him...

The football shot by Kaka hit Wood's foot and bounced, making Van der Sar’s previous save action a comical decoration...

The football bounced over Van der Sar’s head, then crashed into the net amidst the deafening cheers of AC Milan fans...

"2:1! We recovered a goal! Great Kaka! The omnipotent Kaka! This kind of critical moment depends on Kaka! The long-distance attack in the finals is a classic goal that can no longer be classic. He defeated the entire Nottingham Forest team alone! Kaka! Kaka—" The Italian commentator roared hoarse, almost crying. "Don't give him any chance, Englishman, you see it now! We still have a chance to comeback, don't give up, AC Milan!"
