Chapter 055 Rui. Costa

Three days later, on September 19, 2007, AC Milan ushered in the first match of the 2007/2008 UEFA Champions League at San Siro Stadium.

This is also Zhang Yang's first show in the Champions League wearing a red and black shirt.

This is the third consecutive year that AC Milan's opponent Benfica has participated in the Champions League group stage and helped AC Milan win the 2003 Champions League. Costa served as the captain of Benfica. He was warmly welcomed by Milan's generals and fans. In the stands of San Siro, there are banners everywhere to thank the Portuguese superstars for playing for Milan, and there are 'Welcome Rui' everywhere. Costa's slogan to go home.

In the new season of the Portuguese Super League, Costa has scored three goals in the first four rounds. It can be said that it is old and strong!

In the history of the Champions League, AC Milan has defeated Benfica twice to win the championship. In 1963, he reversed his opponent 2-1 for the first time. In 1990, he won 1-0 with a goal from Ricard, and Ancelotti was also on the game at that time.

In the quarter-finals of the 1994-95 season, AC Milan eliminated Benfica with a total score of 2-0. Benfica has lost 8 times in his previous nine visits to Italy.

Zhang Yang, who had some bad luck in the away game in Siena, was quite lucky today. He scored his first goal in the Champions League this season in the third minute of the game!

That was after he received Pirlo's pick pass. He saw the opponent's goalkeeper Quim standing a little forward. He suddenly shot coldly and hung the ball into the net. Quim retreated and tried to jump to reach the ball to no result, and the ball scored.

One to zero!

After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang laughed and rushed to Pirlo, and gave a bear hug to the 'Milan brain' who gave himself a wonderful assist.

The broadcaster at the San Siro scene also led the fans to shout their names with extremely excited voices.

"Zhang--"

"Zhang--"

"Zhang--"

The whole court shouted this surname three times in a row.

Captain Benfica, Rui. Costa looked at the young man who was enthusiastically celebrating the goal. Looking at the number 7 behind Zhang Yang, the Portuguese veteran was even in a trance, as if he had returned to the era of ** fire, and back to the years of the red and black frenzy. At that time, the number of his jersey was still No. 10, and the jersey number was also It's red and black. The guy in the No. 7 jersey is called Andre. Shepchenko.

"Little guy, you did a good job. Come on." Rui. Costa said softly.

The final score of this game was 2-1. Zhang Yang created a free kick opportunity for AC Milan. Pirlo crossed the wall with a precise free kick 25 meters from the goal on the left and went straight to the corner. Although the goalkeeper Quim touched the ball with one hand, he still could not stop the ball from entering the net, 2-0! This is Pirlo's fifth goal in 83 European games.

Benfica didn't score a goal until the injury time of the game. It was Benfica's quick counterattack. Katulanis made a low pass from the left, Gomez made a back point, and his right foot shoveled into the empty goal, which fixed the score at 2-1.

Finally, in the first game of the new season of the 2007/2008 UEFA Champions League, AC Milan defeated Benfica 2-1 at home. This is a gorgeous and wonderful game, and the result is not unexpected. Milan got three points as it should be, and even had the opportunity to play a more disparity score. It's just that all this doesn't seem so important, because Rui Costa is back, still the familiar face, still the No. 10 jersey, although he represents Benfica and is no longer AC Milan.

68,000 fans gave applause to Milan's former heroes. In this game, the first goal for AC Milan to enter the Champions League this season even expressed the theme, Rui. Costa's "return" - this has become the only theme of San Siro.

In the 86th minute, Benfica coach Camacho replaced Rui Costa at the right time. At this moment, let the former owner of San Siro enjoy the glory that belongs to him alone. At the end of the old man who had played for Milan for five seasons, 68,000 San Siro fans and everyone on the Milan bench stood up and gave lasting applause.

Even before, as the game continued, there were still fans shouting about Rui from time to time. Costa's name.

When the final whistle sounded, no one even cared about Nuno. Gomez scored the goal back for Benfica, and all the Milan fans once again applauded Ruyi, who walked to the center of the court. Costa.

Returning to San Siro, Rui Costa is still the king of elegance. He kept patting his chest with his hand and responding to the strong love. Under the Benfica team emblem, there was still a red and black heart beating.

Compared with having many right-hand men when he was in AC Milan, the current Rui Costa is somewhat alone. Because AC Milan has too much advantage, Costa does not have too many opportunities to perform, but his accidental inspiration seems to make people see the former midfield master of Milan - a strong long-range shot after the long drive in the middle forced Dida to make a wonderful save, and a graceful "Rui-style direct pass" tore apart AC Milan's Line of defense.

According to UEFA statistics, Rui. Costa shot four times in the whole game and sent 11 threatening passes. Compared with these, perhaps there are two pictures that should be kept in mind: after crashing into the ground with Kaladze, Rui. Costa pulled up his former teammates, and the two hugged each other tightly; another time, Rui. Costa picked up the fallen Gattuso from behind.

When they were replaced, more than 68,000 fans in the San Siro Stadium stood up and applauded. What they were shouting was a person's name: Rui. Costa.

Just like the courtesy that the Portuguese star received when he was replaced at the San Siro Stadium!

Zhang Yang has been replaced at this time, and the Chinese young man also stood up for Rui. Costa applauded. He even thought, many years later, if he left Milan or a team and came back to be a guest again, would he receive such courtesy? For a professional player, such courtesy is the greatest recognition!

Zhang Yang applauded. He clearly saw the tears in the corners of the Portuguese veteran's eyes. Then, Zhang Yang looked up and saw a banner in the San Sironan Stand: Rui, this is your home, forever.

Ruyi. Costa's return became the biggest theme of the game.

After the game, Zhang Yang's performance was also the focus of the media's attention.

In the first UEFA Champions League match he played in a red and black shirt, he scored the team's first goal in the Champions League this season. He was the team's biggest contributor to winning the game 3-1 and achieving a good start in the season.

Counting Zhang Yang's five goals in the league, Zhang Yang has scored a total of six goals for AC Milan in the league and the Champions League this season.

He is the top scorer in the team of AC Milan, and in the Serie A scorer list, Zhang Yang also leads the scorer list with five goals. Behind Zhang Yang is Ibrahimovic, who scored four goals.

Alexander. Alfred is a 39-year-old AC Milan fan. He is fat, has a beautiful 'Mediterranean hairstyle', a wife who is also a little fat, and a lovely son.

Every Monday to Friday morning, he will send his 12-year-old son Alfred Jr. to school first. Then he goes to work by himself and endures the strictness of the boss and some almost unreasonable difficulties of customers. Near noon, he will go to a fan bar near the company, drink two beers, and watch the live game, or It is some game videos, listen to sports news, cheer for AC Milan with many people, and then it seems that everyone's fatigue and bitterness are gone, only love for life and good expectations for the future.

After being full of wine and food, he will continue to work until he gets off work. Then he kept picking up his son. When he got home, he looked at his busy figure of his wife in the kitchen, watched his naughty son running out with a football and playing football with his friends, and told him to be safe and go home on time. Then, Mr. Alfred poured himself a cup of coffee and opened this day's Milan. If you read the Sports Daily slowly, you will have a strong sense of happiness.

Alexander. Alfred is an iron fan of AC Milan. His history of the Italian football club is countless treasures. He collects the jerseys and various used items of AC Milan superstars that he can collect. His proudest treasure is a football with Van Basten's autograph, which was the 'Dutch Three. At the time of the swordsman, in a Serie A match, Van Basten shot the football vigorously but flew to the stands. The football caused the looting of fans in the stands, and finally Alexander. Alfred became the lucky guy. He also found Van Basten after the game and asked him to sign it. This football signed by Van Basten became Alexander. Alfred's favorite collection.

Alexander. Alfred's grandfather was an AC Milan fan and his father was also an AC Milan fan. When he was ten years old, he was taken to San Siro Stadium for the first time by his father. After the game, the ten-year-old boy became a fan of AC Milan.

Twenty-nine years have passed since that day. In the past twenty-nine years, their family has bought club tickets in Alexandria. After Alfred got into a family and career, he had his own son. When little Alfred was eight years old, Alexander. Alfred took the little guy to the San Siro Stadium. Now, little Alfred has been a fan of AC Milan for four years!

For the Alfred family, it is undoubtedly an extremely sacred and important thing to cultivate their son to become an AC Milan fan.

For Alexander. For Alfred, there are only five things in life: eating, sleeping, working hard, loving family, and - loving AC Milan.

This ordinary Milan hardcore fan is particularly excited today.

In the AC Milan two-to-one Fika match just ended today, he received a gift from God again. After receiving a pass from Sedorf in the game, Zhang Yang once had a shot, and the football was all in Benfica midfielder Maxi. Pereira flew to the stands. This time, the position is relatively high-looking Alexander. Alfred became lucky again, and he got the ball!

For this ordinary Milan hardcore fan, this is a dreamy gift. According to the unwritten agreement, players play football in the stands, and fans have the right to take it for themselves. This is also regarded as the best gift by fans.

After the game, Alexander. Alfred was going to find Zhang Yang to ask him to sign on this football, but after the game, the AC Milan team celebrated in the locker room and came out very late, Alexander. Alfred couldn't wait and had to go home.

However, this loyal fan still did not give up the idea of asking Zhang Yang to sign the ball. He looked at the football signed by Van Basten and felt that it was something that must be done.
