Chapter 118 King of Europe
"The ball is scored! The ball is scored! The ball is scored! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! GOOOOOOOOAL!! GOAL!! Before the game is over, Degan! Degan! Degan! Degan! Degan! Degan again! Open twice! This ball can basically sentence Arsenal to death. Just over ten minutes ago, AC Milan almost sank in the Champions League final for the second time in a row, but now they are leading, Degan! Degan again! Whenever the team needs him, he will always stand up as soon as possible! Never disappoint people!"
When Digan shot the football into the goal, the commentators collectively went crazy. Before the game, none of them expected that a final would be like this. Arsenal scored first, then a penalty, a red card, Degan showed the sportsmanship of fair competition, and then when AC Milan was about to be collectively desperate, Di Gan seized an opportunity that was not an opportunity and equalized the score. Then just as the game was about to end, Degan caught a collective short circuit in Arsenal's defense and scored another goal.
When Degan hit the ball into Lyman's goal, all the AC Milan fans in front of the TV jumped up. They still hated Degan as usual, but they didn't hate the championship.
The whole final process was full of ups and downs, which made everyone nervous. Fortunately, AC Milan took the lead, and this game was about to have a result.
AC Milan fans at the scene were also cheering, and the whole French stadium was burning and boiling. When AC Milan's fans say "Milan!" When the song of Milan swept the audience, Arsenal fans could not even say a syllable and could only shrink in their stands to face this reality in pain.
Can Henry, the king of Hebry, save them this time?
The TV broadcast gave Henry a close-up.
Henry's face was expressionless, and no one knew what was thinking in his heart.
After scoring the goal, Degan rushed to the sidelines, and then he opened his arms, bent down, and a fish jumped and dived. His teammates also swooped down to him. A group of people lay on the turf, and later people simply pressed on it and folded the arhat.
Milan players are celebrating their lead!
Ancelotti looked at Degan. After being excited, his expression became very complicated. The team took the lead and the hope of winning the championship increased greatly. Of course, he was happy, but it was Degan who scored. At the moment Degan scored, Gilardino, who he had high hopes on, was still assisting in defense in the midfield.
"We are sure to win!" The excited Tasoti's voice became a little trembling.
Ancelotti glanced at Tasotti and then looked at the time. He is not as optimistic as the fans now. The lagging Arsenal will definitely launch a big counterattack, but AC Milan is in the continuous attack, and the players are not as relaxed as people think. Arsenal players are under great pressure, AC Mi The same is true of Lan's players, because of their offensive characteristics, they consume a lot of physical energy.
Although Wenger played very conservatively in this game, Ancelotti has seen how strong Arsenal's offensive is.
Henry is not inferior to Degan at all. In case he scored another goal at the last minute, could AC Milan still score another goal in the remaining few minutes?
If the opponent drags the game into overtime, AC Milan's physical disadvantage will be reflected.
After all, AC Milan has been attacking crazily most of the time in this game, which is extremely energy-consuming.
After the game restarted, the desperate Arsenal did launch a fierce offensive.
But only once.
When Henry barely got up outside the penalty area but flew directly, the ball control fell to AC Milan's feet.
Then AC Milan did not shrink the defense or counterattack. They continued to attack!
Ancelotti also fought at this time. It's hard to say whether the defense can withstand the test. In this case, it's better to continue to attack and continue to put pressure on Arsenal. Even if it can't score more goals, it will consume all the rest of the game time.
Arsenal still wanted to attack, but was surprised to find that AC Milan, which should have been defending, was not conservative at all after taking the lead. Instead, they were pressed in the half and could no longer move.
Henry did want to equalize the score for the team, but the football could not reach his feet.
AC Milan went crazy and couldn't even get Arsenal out of the half!
In the following time, Henry could only watch his goal continuously bombarded by AC Milan on the court.
AC Milan's current tactics are very simple, very rough, and have no beauty to speak of. After taking the ball, they will fight at the feet of Degan. The threat of Degan and Arsenal have learned this game. If they want to keep the hope of equalizing, they must not lose the ball. When Degan takes the ball, there will immediately be two Arsenal. The defensive players came forward to keep an eye on the defense.
AC Milan's strange tactics make people feel as if they are behind, but this simple and rough tactic can make them helpless. There is no other way but to be angry.
Under AC Milan's continuous bombing tactics, Arsenal's players played so aggrievedly.
Because of this offensive approach adopted by AC Milan, players do not have to run frequently and change positions, and can maintain a relatively complete formation, so AC Milan has formed a siege against Arsenal.
Even if Arsenal's defenders can release the football, they will end up at the feet of AC Milan players.
If Arsenal want to take advantage of their kick-off goal, they will be surrounded by AC Milan's superior forces in the midfield.
As the game is coming to an end, AC Milan's attack is becoming more and more fierce. Their physical strength has long been exhausted. At this time, they are completely persisting with their willpower.
Arsenal is now attacking and can't attack; defending, I don't know how long it can defend.
Wenger kept shouting on the sidelines, but it didn't play any effect. Gradually, he was about to give up. What can he do in the face of AC Milan's unreasonable play? AC Milan's tactics can be said to have no technical content, but the problem is that such a lack of technical tactics makes him so painful.
Wenger turned his head and looked at Ancelotti and sighed. Ancelotti's tactics were not technical, but the strategy was right!
At the beginning of the injury stoppage time, AC Milan scored again. Not long after the substitute, Serginho made a 40-degree cross from behind. Degan rushed into the penalty area and then jumped high again.
In front of him is Toure, Ebue is on his side, and Campbell is behind him. Three Arsenal defenders put Degan in the middle.
But these are useless.
Because Degan jumped higher than the three of them, and the landing point was also very accurate!
When he shook his head and played football, the three people could only watch, and there was nothing he could do.
Lyman rushed to the football, but he couldn't stop Degan from shaking his head with his strength!
Leman in the air can only watch the football fly through his fingertips and plunge into the goal!
Arsenal are finally relieved. They don't have to continue to struggle for a game and a Champions League champion.
Because they have completely said goodbye to this champion!
The gap between the two balls is basically impossible to equalize with less than four minutes left before the end of the game.
Even if it is theoretically possible, it is very little.
So they can finally be relieved.
Fabregas sat directly on the ground with his head in his hands.
Henry leaned down with his knees with his hands, gasping heavily, and his eyes were a little confused.
Pure put his hands on his waist, looked up at the night sky, and then lowered his head and shook helplessly.
It's all over!
With them*, the crazy AC Milan players surged from all directions. They opened their arms and cheered in their mouths. The expression on their faces was distorted by excessive excitement, which looked a little ferocious.
"Digan! Hat-trick!" The commentator was crazy again, even crazier than last time, "He finished his hat-trick! With three goals, Degan participated in the final of the UEFA Champions League for the first time and completed an unimaginable hat-trick! Arsenal have no chance! They are two goals behind AC Milan, and there is little time left in the game. Now God can't save them! This is a goal that locks the game! AC Milan can already cheer for their Champions Cup! This will be the seventh championship in their club's history!"
After scoring the goal, Degan did not celebrate crazily, but we opened our arms in front of Arsenal's goal and received long cheers from fans. At this moment, Degan is a well-deserved king on the court. He has used his undisputed performance to show the world his strength and strength.
No matter who, no matter how much he hates Degan, he can only shut up in front of such a strong performance.
Wenger on the sidelines suddenly felt a deep fatigue, shook his head helplessly, turned back to the coach's seat with a dull look, sat down without saying a word.
The Arsenal fans in the stands were also silent. They held their heads or bit the scarf in their hands and stared at the court, with their eyes gradually turning red.
Seeing that the championship is about to be won, but now they can only taste the bitterness of failure. They can't complain about anyone. Arsenal has exhausted their power in this game. The players have really worked hard, but they have worked so hard and paid so much, and finally they still didn't get the championship they wanted.
The next game completely entered garbage time. Arsenal suddenly lost the motivation to continue attacking. Only Henry ran back and forth in the front court like crazy and wanted to break the football from the feet of AC Milan's players, but he was alone and a little lonely.
Since the start of the game, there have been only cheers from AC Milan fans in the stands. Arsenal fans have completely calmed down, and those fans who have stood and watched almost the whole game have also sat in their chairs and looked at the stadium without any color in their eyes.
People, this is what happened after all the hopes were broken.
The Arsenal players on the field are also desperate. Their attack is disorderly. They really play wherever they think of it. They have no hope of victory at all.
When the injury time entered the fourth minute, no one could sit on the AC Milan bench. Everyone stood on the sidelines, anxiously and excitedly waiting for the whistle at the end of the game.
When Digan received Kaka's pass again and planned to attack forward, the referee finally blew the whistle of the whole game.
The whole game is over!
In the studio in Italy, the commentator roared with all his strength, "We are the champions!" The game is over! We defeated Arsenal! We are the champions!! We are the king of Europe!"
The commentator was still like this, and the AC Milan fans who came to the scene in the stands were even more excited, and everyone was crazy and roared.
"Champion! Champion! We are the champions!"
AC Milan players who have been waiting on the sidelines also rushed in at this moment and hugged 11 teammates on the field to celebrate.
Even Ancelotti rushed in excitedly and even forgot to shake hands with Wenger.
However, Wenger did not wait for him, but followed him to the court to comfort the players who collapsed on the ground because of too much pain.
But how to comfort them?
"We have tried our best, so there is nothing to blame ourselves"?
"We're just unlucky"?
At this time, any words seem pale and powerless. Wenger can only put his hand on the shoulders of those heartbroken players, pinch them hard, and then get up without saying a word and find the next person.
A short distance from the lost Arsenal player is the carnival AC Milan player.
"It's incredible! The unorganized AC Milan defeated the powerful Arsenal in the final and won the seventh Champions League trophy in their team's history, and they once fell behind in the game. At the last moment, relying on Degan's three goals, AC Milan finally stood on the top of Europe!"
"Digan is a well-deserved player in this game, and his hat-trick helped AC Milan win the championship. It can be imagined that without Degan, it must be Arsenal's player who is celebrating the victory on the field now. Degan defeated his powerful opponent with a blow and won his first Champions League trophy!"
When the AC Milan players celebrated, the award table had been set up.
As the runner-up, Arsenal players first came to the stage to receive the award, but each of them looked depressed, and even Wenger's face was expressionless and dull.
Henry took the silver medal from UEFA president Platini, who comforted him with a smile, with a blank face. Platini patted the compatriot on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be sad, Thierri, you have performed well enough, just a little bad luck. Come back next year!"
Henry didn't listen to any of these words.
For good, he did not forget to be polite. He mechanically shook hands with Platini and turned away with no expression on his face. As soon as he left, he lowered his head and took off the silver medal and held it in his hand.
Although this silver medal is already the highest honor he has won in the Champions League, what he wants is not a silver medal, but a gold medal, a championship trophy.
Turning his head to look at his teammates. If he continues to stay, he doesn't know if he still has a chance!
Platini turned his head and looked at Henry's sad back and sighed helplessly.
As a Frenchman, he naturally hopes that Arsenal, where French players concentrate, can win, but there are some things that can't be decided by him, the president of UEFA, who has just been in office for less than half a year.
Wenger was the last to take the stage to receive the medal.
Platini gave him a warm hug and then said to him in his ear, "Arthur, you did a good job. If you stick to it, you still have a chance. Arsenal still has a chance."
For Platini's comfort, Wenger only forced a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Platini."
Platini patted Wenger on the shoulder and sent him down.
When the runner-up leaves the podium, it is the champion's turn to take the stage to receive the award.
The medalist is still UEFA President Platini. He does prefer Arsenal, which has many French players, but he also likes AC Milan very much.
The first person to walk to the podium was Degan. Platini hung the medal around Degan's neck and gave him a hug: "Your performance is incredible!"
Degan's expression is a little stiff. He doesn't like the UEFA president who looks very much like the Hobbit. He is a great player, but now he is a dirty politician.
Next, medals were awarded to other Milan players. Finally, Maldini came up. Platini and Maldini were old acquaintances. Before the award, they also pulled the family, and then he picked up the big ear cup on one side and handed it to Maldini.
"Paul! It belongs to you now!"
"Thank you!"
Although Maldini smiled sparingly, his eyes sparkled with excitement. He took a deep breath, took the trophy, and then sweated. The trophy was raised high by him!
At the same time, the cheers in the stands suddenly increased.
"Milan! Milan!"
Countless red confetti floated over the French stadium, and the song of Queen's famous "We Are the Champion" sounded in the broadcast of the stadium.
In the song, Maldini held the trophy high, surrounded his teammates around him, gathered him in the middle, and stretched out their hands to touch the trophy representing the highest honor of European football clubs. Everyone's faces were full of excitement and happy smiles.
I worked hard for a season. Although I still failed to reverse Juventus in the league, AC Milan became the European champion. Now it's time to celebrate.
