Chapter 50 The Old Nuclear Warhead
After a drowsy Anglo-French war, followed by the last round of the group stage of the first round of the European Cup. The host Ukraine played against the Nordic Pirates Sweden, which was originally a confrontation between "civilian teams" with few highlights. However, after a dull first half, the situation However, there was a 180-degree turn in the second half, and Shevchenko and Ibrahimovic, two superstars, dominated the game.
Of course, the first contact between Sheva and Ibrasimovic in this game can be traced back to the beginning of the game. The two captains of Sweden and Ukraine went to the center of the stadium and chose the side field under the supervision of the referee on duty, shaking hands, high-five each other and exchanging team flags very politely. .
Coincidentally, both of them have a deep relationship with the Serie A giant AC Milan. One is the former leader of the Rossoneri, the other is the current striker of the Rossoneri, the other is yesterday, and the other is now. They each represent the era of AC Milan, a century-old rich family, although In terms of Taoist qualifications, the Swedish god Tayblahimovic may have to call Sheva "senior". From Sheva to Ibrahimovic, this represents a kind of inheritance. The era of red and black idols and the peak years of Milan have continued from him to him.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a fateful duel! It's a tearful reunion!
In the match between Ukraine and Sweden, when Ibrahimovic scored the first goal in the 52nd minute, the fans may have thought that this was another game led by Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic would lead Sweden to overturn the host on his own.
But later, Shevchenko, who was older than him and became the leader of AC Milan earlier than him, dominated the competition, which made Ibrahimovic's efforts a back. Scenery board.
Before the game, Ibrahimovese once said in an interview: "Put all the pressure on me. I like this pressure very much. Whether in Barcelona, Milan or the Swedish national team, I always feel that I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. It will never be too easy, but you must realize people's hopes."
In this game, Ibrahimovic has been trying to fulfill his promise and take the lead in breaking the deadlock for the Swedish team, but the team's failure forced Ibrahimovic and his Swedish team to swallow the bitter fruit of the defeat.
Objectively speaking, Ibrasimovic's performance in this game is not bad at all. As the captain and core of the national team, he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of organization and scoring, which can be said to be both a father and mother.
But all Ibrahimovic's efforts are so powerless in front of an aging nuclear warhead.
Flying, shaking the head, rubbing the ball, breaking the net, the action is coherent, in one breath, a familiar and strange yellow figure, a flexible blow in front of the Swedish team's goal, rewrite the score of the game to 2:1.
Who is it?
It's him!
Once upon a time, this vigorous figure fascinated countless fans. Once upon a time, his lightning speed made countless fans scream crazily.
He is none other than AC Milan's eternal No. 7 one-one nuclear warhead Shevchenko.
Older fans may still remember that Shevchenko's first time he participated in the Milan derby. Although it was a ghostly bounce ball that broke the net, although the ball "actively" hit his knee and hit the goal of the Nerazzurri, all this seemed to have been doomed. This ball opened. The glorious years of the hero of Shevchenko and San Siro still remember that he lifted his jersey after breaking through the blue and black gate, roared and waved his fists to celebrate. At that moment, the hearts of red and black fans around the world were deeply moved by this blonde teenager from the barren land of Eastern Europe for the first time. This move was seven years, or, again Is it more than 7 years?
Tonight, after 35-year-old Shevchenko broke through the Swedish gate for the second time and repeated the scene of crazy celebration. He lifted his jersey and roared crazily to celebrate, wanting the world to share his excitement and pride at that moment.
Yes, more than ten years have aged the face of this Ukrainian nuclear warhead, but what remains unchanged is his eternal resolute heart and his desire for victory.
This situation can be remembered, but it was already sad at that time.
When Shevchenko first made his debut in Milanello 13 years ago, I'm afraid that not many people would believe that this "scamera" would leave so many memories and wonderful shots in world football.
After the penalty kick, Juve won the UEFA Champions League, the unrestrained and elegant moment of riding alone for nearly 70 meters, as well as the shy and cuteness of Sheva, who holds the golden ball trophy and wears a black suit.
Of course, all this is not the whole of Shevchenko's red and black career. The reason why the legend is loved by fans is that he has worked hard for years. With his AC Milan, he is the familiar AC Milan that accompanied countless fans to grow up.
Four years ago, Shevchenko made a decision to retire. Despite the retention of the fans, he returned to his parent team Dynamo Kiev. From then on, he also left the European mainstream league and people's sight. This was a decision that made countless fans cry. From that moment on, it seemed that the Ukrainian nuclear warhead remained. For people, there are only his slowly leaving back, waving his sleeves, leaving only those sporadic fragments.
However, four years later, the one that the fans were familiar with finally came back. Yes, he was reluctant to part with these beloved fans, or he never went far.
In the last round of the first round of the European Cup group stage, the host Ukraine defeated Sweden 2:1 and Shevchenko won two yuan. After the game, he called the game exciting and like a myth.
The duel between two generations of Milan killers is a highlight. Ibrahimovic took the lead in scoring for Sweden, while Shevchenko scored two goals in a row and became the final winner.
In an interview after the game, Shevchenko was asked to comment on the game. He said: "This game is like a myth. It's not easy to win, because we have many players who can't play before the game, but we played very well in this first game. Victory is the result of everyone's joint efforts. We What we have to do is to dedicate this victory to all Ukrainians!"
Speaking of his performance, Shevchenko said: "I feel very happy now, and I want to thank the Ukrainian fans."
This is Shevchenko's first time to participate in the European Cup, and it is destined to be the last time, and it is also the battle at home. The group became a winning hero in the first round. His happiness can be imagined. He looks a little excited: "I don't feel 35 years old, but 20 years old!"
Speaking of the last two rounds of the game, Shevchenko said: "We have created a lot of good opportunities and showed our strength, which makes us look forward to the French team's game. Every game is very important at home, and we need to prepare for the next game."
After winning a victory, Ukrainian coach Bloshin was also extremely happy. After witnessing his disciples complete the reversal with two headers, he excitedly hugged Shevchenko.
After the game, Bloxin said excitedly: "I'm proud of him. I have a feeling that my dream has come true. Before the game, I told Andrea that I dreamed that you would be scored twice, and he also said it was incredible. Of course, I think it's natural for us to win. Sweden came for a draw. There is only one person in the front court, that is Ibrasimovic, and they are satisfied after taking the lead by a goal. We have to be more proactive. I want to congratulate the whole team, although we haven't played as good as I expected. Well, many people criticized us for being unprepared before, but now we have to prove them wrong.
From leading to reversal, Ibrahimovic was very disappointed. He pointed out that the team should have been able to maintain the victory and even expected to score again at the end of the game. However, he believed that Sweden's European Cup was not over, and the team should cheer up to welcome France and England as soon as possible.
"Tonight, both teams seemed a little nervous at the beginning. We had a good start in the second half and took the lead in scoring, but unfortunately, Ukraine immediately equalized and finally completed the overtaking. At the last moment, we almost always controlled the ball and cooperated well. I think the draw is more reasonable for now. We can only accept this result, regardless that this does not mean the end. We still have two games, and what we need to do now is to cheer up.
After the two rounds of Group D, the current situation seems to be somewhat similar to that of Group C. They are all tied by strong teams and occupy a high position. It is also the same as Group C. Although after the first round, they scored three points and ranked first in the group, their qualifying situation is still precarious. The next two opponents, whether it is England, France, whose strength is above Ukraine, in this regard, the only thing Ukraine can rely on is the home advantage.
France and England are in a relatively better situation. After the most difficult strong dialogue, they will face Sweden and Ukraine respectively, and they are obviously more advantageous in strength.
As for the Swedish team led by Ibrahimovic, their chances are not great. Although the confidence of the Swedish tower is admirable, they still need to speak with strength on the football field!
At the end of the first round of the group stage, there is no rest. All the teams will immediately start the second round competition. Belgium is still the first to play, but this time Belgium is obviously a little different from the past.
After the first game, Belgium immediately announced the closure of training. During this period, even the Belgian media could not interview any news about Belgium, which also cast a layer of mystery for Belgium. The only thing that can be contacted by the outside world now is the coach Wei of the Belgian team. Ermotz.
But every time Wilmot comes and goes in a hurry, and in the face of the reporter's interview, he doesn't say a word, which makes people curious.
