Chapter 042 Dedicated to Puerta
Zhang Yang was officially named the best scorer in Europe last season by UEFA, and also won the European Golden Boot. This immediately attracted the attention of the global media, and in China, the media and fans have begun to cheer excitedly. Cheer for Zhang Yang.
With the promotion of the UEFA Champions League, this event has now become the most recognized top football event. The UEFA Champions League is getting higher and higher in the hearts of Chinese fans.
Therefore, Chinese fans are very excited to see Zhang Yang win such an honor. Drogba, Henry, Eto'o, Cristiano Ronaldo, Torres, Van Nistruy, Raul. Zhang Yang beat these superstars and became the best striker in Europe in the past year!
On China's network, there has been a discussion similar to "Zhang Yang has become one of the world's top shooters", but so far there is no conclusion. However, one thing is recognized that is that this young man has become the pride of all Chinese fans. They cheer for him and are proud of him!
The World Cup, the European Cup and the UEFA Champions League are regarded by football fans as the three most anticipated events. Because they are the top events in the world today, the most advanced football; they are the masters and symbols of honor; they are the most attractive and appealing, they are the most gorgeous, and they are the most suspenseful and the most interesting. The World Cup and the European Cup are only held once in four years. The limitations of the competition system have led to the continuous occurrence of surprises, so the result is often not the best team to laugh to the end. Only the annual Champions League is a real strong dialogue. Almost all the top stars are gathered here. If a team wants to win the highest honor of the club, from the group stage to the knockout stage, it has to go through the home and away system and decide the winner in the finals. The dark horse miracle must also go through the baptism of 10 games. It is difficult for a team to reach the end without sincere unity, tenacious will and real strength as the foundation. Therefore, in the hearts of fans, the Champions League is the place of the most fierce confrontation, and it is also the most suspenseful and the most real result.
The charm of the Champions League also lies in the fact that there are always stories. The reversal miracle of the Red Devils and the Red Army, the revenge of AC Milan Liverpool, the winning blow of Zidane and Myatovic, and the toast of Martini and his son 40 years apart... The ups and downs of the game can always become the talk of the office workers the next day. For many fans, watching the Champions League is a top visual enjoyment and a kind of inertia; for many people who like nightlife, the Champions League is a way of enjoyment, a plate of wine and dishes that can be accompanied by beer in a pub.
And Zhang Yang, this authentic Chinese young man, while wielding his talent in the Champions League, has also become the most sumptuous and insatiable dish for Chinese fans to watch football late at night.
It is not an overdious to say that everyone loves to show off.
After the 2006/2007 European Football Awards Ceremony and the 2007/2008 UEFA Champions League group draw, last season's UEFA Champions League champion AC Milan will be at the Louis II Stadium in Monte Carlo, Monaco and last season's UEFA Champions League champion Sevari. Asia's competition is the European Super Cup competition!
Because of the accidental death of Sevilla's 22-year-old player Puerta, although the European Super Cup has not been rescheduled, it is shrouded in an atmosphere of mourning.
In Sevilla's 4-1 win over Getafe's La Liga on August 25, Puerta suddenly suffered a heart attack and fainted on the court. After being awakened by first aid, he fell into a coma after returning to the lounge. Late at night on the 27th, the 22-year-old Spanish international player, who only participated in an international competition, was pronounced dead by the hospital.
AC Milan Club once took the initiative to propose to UEFA that the UEFA Super Cup could be rescheduled, because on this day, Sevilla's grief is far more important than a game.
Seville expressed its gratitude to AC Milan for its kindness.
However, UEFA did not agree to reschedule, because they really couldn't find a time to play the rematch of this heavyweight event.
AC Milan's Italian international Pirlo expressed uneasy about this. In an interview with Sky TV, he played the game on the weekend when Puerta just died, which made everyone feel heavy.
Before the game, the whole court observed a minute of silence for Puerta. The players on both sides wore black armbands and burned his name on the jersey to show their memory.
In the stands where Sevilla fans gathered, the fans raised the banners of "Puerta, you are with us" and "Puerta, we will not forget you"; in the stands of AC Milan fans, there was the banner of "Honor belongs to Puerta", which was given to Seville at halftime. Fans.
When the players on both sides warmed up, the fans shouted Puerta's name rhythmically, and the players on the field also applauded. The whole audience was filled with a mournful and friendly atmosphere.
Some media had expected that Zhang Yang, a 'character player', would make some hot news before and after this heavyweight event, and they were even ready to stimulate Zhang Yang by some means. However, after the news of Puerta's death came out, everything died down. Even the most immoral media did not dare to make trouble at this time, which would cause public indignation.
Moreover, these media have forgotten that Zhang Yang is not a puppet, not a robot, and will not be at their mercy and deceived. Zhang Yang is a flesh-and-blood person, a colleague of his own, fell on the court and can never return to the court, which makes Zhang Yang feel quite uncomfortable. My heart is sad.
The game is not dull, it should be said to be relatively fierce and the rhythm is very fast.
Sevilla players turned grief into strength, and they vowed to work hard with a victory to comfort Puerta's spirit in heaven with the championship trophy of the European Super Cup.
Sevilla's attack was fierce and seemed to be effective, which also gave Sevilla fans hope of defeating AC Milan.
There were two attacks, and they almost entered the goal of AC Milan. Sevilla created great trouble for AC Milan at the beginning of this game.
In the peak match between last season's Champions League champion and the League Cup champion, Sevilla's Renato took the lead in scoring. In the 15th minute, he received a cross from his teammate's side. After a beautiful header into the net, the Sevilla players gathered together and pointed to comfort the undead of his former teammates.
At this time, even AC Milan fans stood up and applauded Reinato for scoring.
Zhang Yang and other AC Milan players looked at the Sevilla players with tears in their eyes and fingers in the night sky to comfort Puerta's undead. They were all silent and no one spoke. No one blames Sevilla for celebrating the overtime. The referee also acquiesced in all this. It was not until two minutes later that the Sevilla players shouted Puerta's name together, and they slowly returned to their respective positions and waited for the kickoff in the middle circle.
However, Sevilla's lead did not last long.AC Milan equalized the score in the 23rd minute!
The person who scored the goal was Zhang Yang, and Pirlo sent an assist. Kaka interspersed and pulled out the empty slot, Zhang Yang's flexible running position, inserted the empty slot, and then shot low to break the goal.
"Ah! Milan! AC Milan!! They equalized the score! Less than ten minutes later, they equalized the score, the powerful AC Milan!" The Italian commentator shouted, "Oh, we saw Zhang. He ran to the stands of the Sevilla fans, and he gave the goal to Puerta!" What a touching scene. Now, who dares to say that this young man is a bad boy!"
After Zhang Yang scored, he did not celebrate the goal, but ran to the stands of the Seville fans at the Louis II Stadium, pointed to the name of Puerta on the jersey, and then stood there silently, pointing to the night sky with his hands.
All the fans in the audience, both Sevilla fans and AC Milan fans, were moved by this scene. The atmosphere of sadness and emotion was intertwined. The sound of shouting Puerta's name from the stands where the Sevilla fans were, and then the voice quickly sounded throughout the stadium. It makes people cry.
A Sevilla player looked at Zhang Yang in surprise. Obviously, thanks to media reports, in their perception, the most popular shooter in Europe is a perverse guy. Anyway, he is not a good boy.
"Thank you." Sevilla player Renato said to Zhang Yang.
"I don't know him." Zhang Yang said, "But I believe that he loves football as much as I do."
Renato looked at Zhang Yang and hugged Zhang Yang without saying another word.
This scene has become an eternal moment in the history of the European Super Cup. On this night, there is no question about the championship or victory. This is the feelings and condolences of the fans and players for the mobilization of a young football who unfortunately passed away.
Zhang Yang's goal is a typical AC Milan-style goal. It only took 13 seconds to pass four feet from the back court to the front court, and finally scored.
AC Milan used Pirlo's pass and Kaka and Zhang Yang's breakthrough speed to tear off Sevilla's defense.
I have to say that AC Milan's attack is more advanced than last season.
Because their player lineup is relatively fixed and the tacit understanding is very high, there are phenomenal Kaka. Now, with the speed of publicity and the relatively comprehensive technology, their attack is sharper.
Just now, Pirlo's pass was like this. Sevilla's defender lost each other in Kaka and Zhang Yang's defense, which gave Zhang Yang, who is good at capturing fighters, a chance to play his speed advantage. After catching the ball, he did it with a touch. Take it easy to equalize the score!
This is a successful counterattack score of AC Milan. In fact, it is also the best play of the Italian team. Their counterattack pays attention to the word "fast". When the opponent's offensive is strong, they shrink in the backcourt and lure the opponent to attack. Once the ball is cut off. Immediately form a sharp counterattack. Threaten the opponent's goal, and even hit it with one hit.
In Serie A, AC Milan's counterattack speed may not be the fastest, but AC Milan's counterattack with Pirlo and Kaka is definitely something that any team should be afraid of. Coupled with the extremely fast publicity, their counterattacks have become sharper.
Therefore, after experiencing last season, especially the two rounds of competition with Marseille, Ancelotti had the most intuitive understanding of Zhang Yang's technical characteristics and ability. He immediately changed his outlook and praised Zhang Yang. He raised his hands to agree with Galliani's decision to introduce Zhang Yang, because Ancelotti I know that with publicity, Kaka will no longer be alone. Then, AC Milan is easy to fight back. Whether it is a personal raid or an overall advance, their speed can make any opponent look back.
The match with Genoa is just a small appetizer, and the match with last season's UEFA Cup champion Sevilla is the touchstone to test the sharp cooperation between Zhang Yang and Kaka in Ancelotti's heart.
