Chapter 117 Genius Flash

Arsenal made up his mind to keep the lead of this point. In the Premier League, Wenger, who has always advocated offense, couldn't help choosing to be conservative at this time. After all, it was the first time he touched the Champions League trophy so close, and Wenger's heart was also full of worry.

Arsenal chose to defend, and AC Milan, which was one point behind, chose to attack, but Arsenal set up a tight defense in front of the penalty area, and AC Milan's attack was only fruitless.

In the first half stoppage time, Degan received Kaka's pass in the penalty area, turned around and hit the goal. He was hit by Lyman and hit the post. In the first half, Arsenal ended with a 1-0 lead.

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

Although his contract with AC Milan was renewed until 2008, Ancelotti is now in urgent need of a Champions League trophy to stabilize his position, but when he got the penalty, Degan actually carried forward the spirit of fair play and refused it. How could this not make him angry?

When he arrived in the locker room, Ancelotti did not go to see Degan, as if he no longer existed. In response to the team's backward situation, Ancelotti made the first personnel adjustment of the game and replaced Sedorf with Rui Costa to strengthen the attack.

The face of Seedorf, who had been replaced, suddenly changed. He didn't expect that he would be replaced at all and wanted to question it. However, looking at Ancelotti's face, the Dutchman still chose to shut up cleverly, but the knot in his heart had already formed.

"There are still 45 minutes left in the game. I don't want you to be affected by the first half of the game. Let go of your hands and feet in the second half. If you still want that trophy, you must exert 200 percent of your energy!"

After saying this, Ancelotti turned around and walked out of the locker room. When he walked to the door, he couldn't help thinking of Istanbul last season. He can't let go of that damn experience until now.

If he really enters the finals twice and loses the championship twice, AC Milan will probably become a laughing stock at that time. I'm afraid his "thousand-old second" hat will hit his head.

Martini also stood up at this time: "Okay! The first half has passed, and now we are still one point behind, and there are still 45 minutes left in the game. This is enough for us. Before we admit defeat, what we have to do is to score in the second half and defeat our opponents. I don't think anyone will hope that last season will happen again! This time, we will win! To become a European champion!"

Degan just sat quietly. He did not regret refusing the penalty at all. Although it would make him lose the most important champion in his career, Degan did not regret it. Even if he defeated his opponent with such a penalty, Digan would not be happy even if he touched the championship trophy in his hand.

It's time to play. When Digan walked out of the player channel, his face suddenly cooled and looked up to the sky. It rained. The light rain was not very big, but even so, this game may be more difficult for AC Milan.

Arsenal, a Premier League team, has a set of open and closed tactics. The rain battle does not have 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 on Ascoli, a promoted horse, because of a rainy battle. If Digan hadn't boarded as a substitute at the last moment and completed the hat-trick in a short time, AC Milan would have been really dangerous.

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. Only Henry and Yongberry and Pires were in front of them, and the others shrank to the midfield.

Henry's shot outside the penalty area did not threaten Fiori, fell directly in his arms, and then immediately threw the ball to attack. AC Milan wanted to play faster, but Arsenal returned faster.

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

In the 47th minute, Kaka shot outside the penalty area, but the angle was too positive and the ball was directly pressed under Lyman.

In the 50th minute, Henry lost the ball in the front court and got a yellow card.

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

In the 54th minute, after Rui Costa broke through, he was shoveled down by Ebue in front of the penalty area. Degan's free kick hit the wall directly and made a make-up shot, but hit Inzaghi's body and popped up the bottom line.

In the 59th minute, Henry made a corner kick, Costa Kuta headed the ball, and AC Milan quickly counterattacked, but Inzaghi was cleared by Campbell before he could shoot after receiving the ball.

In the 60th minute, Ancelotti replaced Inzaghi with Giladino 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 was then assigned to Giladino on the right side, who shot slightly outside the penalty area.

In the 66th minute, Degan passed two people on the left side, but he broke into the penalty area and was attacked by Lehman to get the ball.

A minute later, Degan broke Ebue's ball and scored in the penalty area. Lehman played bravely and sealed the ball out of the bottom line.

In the 69th minute, Degan received a pass from Rui Costa and hit the goal in the penalty area. Today's game, Lehman, who was possessed by Yasin, was destined to become Degan's nemesis, and once again turned Degan's shot out.

The game has been going on for 70 minutes. Although AC Milan has taken the initiative on the field, it has gained countless opportunities, but unfortunately, they can't open Leman's ten fingers every time they shoot.

"It seems that AC Milan is really difficult to win today's game. Maybe Degan should not refuse the penalty in the first half. Now Arsenal has made it clear that they will defend the lead of that ball. Look at every time AC Milan attacks Arsenal's half, there are at least seven in front of Arsenal's penalty area. Famous defensive players are waiting, and coupled with this game, Lehman's super-level performance, it is not easy for AC Milan to knock on Arsenal's goal even if they have a super shooter like Degan!"

Although Arsenal fans in the stands are extremely worried about the team they support being besieged by their opponents, if the game continues according to this situation, they are really likely to win the first European championship trophy in the team's history.

Some Arsenal fans are already celebrating. They sing loudly and cheer as if the game is over and Arsenal have been on the championship podium.

"Assena played this game was really ugly. Wenger experienced such a scene for the first time, which was obviously too conservative. The most aggressive team in the Premier League now forgot how to attack. The offensive battle that people expected before the game also became a bubble because of Arsenal's ugly defense. I don't That's not to mention that Arsenal's negative style of playing is simply a step backwards in football, and they don't have anything to be proud of winning the championship!"

The Italian commentator naturally hopes that Arsenal can suppress the attack and give AC Milan more offensive space, but if Degan hears this, the evaluation will only be two words!

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

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

AC Milan has won six Champions League titles. Who are their opponents in six games and who else will remember!?

When the game reached the 76th minute, AC Milan played more impatiently. Although they firmly controlled the ball under their feet, they even had fewer chances of shooting.

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

Kaka got the ball in the middle and hit the ball into Arsenal's penalty area with a straight plug. Although the ball penetrated Arsenal's defense, it seemed to pass a little big.

Ebue protected the ball and wanted to give it out of the bottom line, but at this time, he suddenly heard Leman shouting, "Be careful!"

Ebue was stunned, and then felt a huge force, shaking him, giving the ball out, and then hooking the football with one foot.

Ebue was shocked and wanted to block it with his body, but it was too late.

Kaka's seemingly non-threatening pass actually made Arsenal panic in the penalty area.

"Digan! It's Degan! Degan caught the ball! It's hard to imagine that after more than an hour's game, Degan can break out so fast, as if he had just played.

It was Degan who chased the ball. Just now, Kaka's ball was indeed a little big, but Degan did not give up, and he grabbed Ebue's momentary relaxation and fished the ball back from near the bottom line.

When he turned around, Leman had already pounced on it and blocked the corner. AC Milan's players did not seem to react well and did not catch up immediately. At this time, Degan had no choice but to shoot.

Under Eboue's robbed, Degan's body's center of gravity had been lost. At the moment he was about to fall to the ground, he kicked the ball out. The ball did not seem to be powerful, but it just bypassed Lyman's head and flew to the far end of the goal.

Degan fell heavily on the ground and stared at the football. After crossing Leman, the football began to fall, but it seemed that the angle was not enough. In an instant, Degan's heart rose to his throat. It was the first time that Degan was so nervous.

The football fell to the ground, hit the goal line, and then bounced up.

At this moment, the whole French stadium was in a dead silence, and everyone held their breath and stared at the football.

The Italian commentators in the studio stood up, and the "GOAL" stuck in their throats, but they didn't wait for it to be released.

Time seems to be slowing down at this moment.

The bounced football is slightly cheaper, and then ~~~~~~~~~

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The ball is scored! At the absolute zero angle, Degan turned around and shot at the zero angle and scored this crucial goal. AC Milan equalized the score, and the game returned to the same line. AC Milan still has a chance! They are not dead yet! Kaka! Degan! It's the perfect cooperation between the Wright brothers again! AC Milan was pulled back from the cliff by these two brothers! Arsenal kept the Champions League for 995 minutes, and the record of not conceding a goal was broken at this moment!"

The goal is scored!

After Degan saw that the ball really entered 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 struggled to get up, the screaming Milan player was pressed to the ground.

"Rod! You fucking bastard, you did a good job! Well done!"

Kaka lay in Digan's ear and roared loudly. It is rare for Kaka, who has always been gentle, to swear under extreme excitement.

Leman was a little distracted and looked at the football in the goal. He still couldn't believe that Degan could score the ball in that situation. He could swear to God that he had blocked all angles of Degan's shooting, but the ball was still scored. How to explain this can only be attributed to the flash of genius.

Arsenal players are also extremely disappointed at this moment. They have persisted for such a long time, but Degan seized an opportunity that was not an opportunity to equalize the score.

Ebue's face is even more like ashes. If he could be more decisive just now, kicking the ball out of bounds may not exist, but it was the relaxation of that second that made the team's efforts throughout the game go to nothing.

Wenger on the sidelines also held his head and had no choice but to accept this reality. The two sides returned to the same line. Maybe he is regretting now. If he can not be so conservative, he will continue to put pressure on AC Milan. Maybe the situation is not like this, but it is too late to regret it now.

In contrast to Arsenal's loss is AC Milan. All the players rushed to the sidelines, shouting and cheering. Ancelotti was also waving his fist hard, and the haze on his face just now disappeared.

AC Milan fans in the stands are cheering, and some fans are still roaring loudly at the bereaved Arsenal fans. Just now, Arsenal fans are still celebrating the team's first Champions League trophy in advance, but now they all look no different from the spirit.

Degan was pulled up, and every AC Milan player came forward and hugged him. Although he only tied the score, this goal was too precious for them.

"Well done! Rod! Well done!"

Kaka can finally breathe a sigh of breath. If AC Milan is defeated by Arsenal 1-0 in this game, he can imagine how Degan will be blamed after the game. People will say that it is because of Degan's refusal of the penalty that AC Milan lost the game. At that time, he is afraid Degan will become the sinner of the whole city of Milan, and countless people will jump out and fight against Degan.

For good, all this did not become the first. AC Milan tied the score, and it was Degan who scored.

Degan also calmed down at this moment. Although he looked very calm before, he was also very confused and was also under great pressure. Fortunately, with this goal, everything was over.

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

In the subsequent game, AC Milan, which equalized the score, became more and more brave, and Arsenal's morale was hit hard. Although Wenger rushed to the side several times and waved his arms to let the players press the attack, Arsenal players obviously could not exert their due strength.

After all, no one can adjust it in such a short time. Wenger can only hope that the team can win the favor of the goddess of luck, drag the game into overtime, or simply drag it into a penalty shootout.

But Digan obviously doesn't want the game to continue endlessly. Many veterans of AC Milan have exhausted their physical strength. After he scored the goal that equalized the score, Ancelotti made a substitution adjustment and replaced Costa Cuta with Serginho, and Caradze returned to the position of central defender. Partner with Maldini.

If the game enters overtime, it will be really dangerous for Arsenal to recover and rely on Henry's ability to hit Milan's defense.

When the game reached the 87th minute, the players on both sides could no longer run, but Degan still did not intend to stop.

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

AC Milan also contracted the defense line at the motion of Ancelotti, leaving only a back line of Degan to contain Arsenal.

Kaka got the ball and passed the ball to Rui Costa before Yonberry rushed to grab it. Rui Costa immediately took the ball, handed it to Degan, and then immediately withdrew to prepare to receive it.

However, Degan did not pass the ball, but went straight forward after getting the ball. Campbell's physical strength had also been exhausted, and his brain was short-circuited in an instant and was rushed by Degan.

"Stop him! Stop him!"

When Lyman saw that Digan was still going to attack, he shouted hoarsely. At this moment, there was only one Toure left in front of him. Campbell's defense just now made a mistake, which instantly disconnected Arsenal's entire defense line.

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