Chapter 173 Intermission
This is a very ordinary bar. The voice of the commentator came from the TV on the shelf. The game has reached the white-hot stage, which can be felt from the machine gun-like speed of the commentator.
"AC Milan's counterattack, Sedorf, he continued to carry the ball, attracting the attention of Barcelona players - pass - Pirlo - great pass - oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, flam! Zhang Yang! He got the football - a single knife! He smashed the ball... and tripped - penalty! Penalty kick!! The penalty kick!——!!! No - no - fight - fight - penalty kick!!"
"The referee's whistle sounded, and he ran and pointed to the penalty point, which really pointed to the penalty point!"
"However, he did not show a red card to Valdes, not even a yellow card. Zhang Yang got up. He was negotiating with the referee Hayes. This was asking for a card. Obviously, Zhang Yang was applying for a red card for Valdes, but the referee did not seem to have the intention of playing the card - no, no, no! He took out the card, and he showed a yellow card to the protestant Zhang Yang! What the hell! Valdes's action was absolutely enough for at least a yellow card. Although Hayeris awarded a penalty, he showed a yellow card to the protestant Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang was quite unhappy. He could have wiped the goalkeeper and scored directly, but he was rudely put down by Valdes. Although the referee awarded the penalty, Zhang Yang was not the team's first penalty, and he would not take the initiative to grab the penalty. It's really unpleasant to lose a goal like this!
Moreover, if you hit the ball directly, once and for all, it is still risky to take a penalty.
In addition, the most annoying thing is that Valdes' foul action, which is absolutely a red card action! The referee didn't say anything. It's just a penalty.
Seeing that Hayes showed a yellow card to Zhang Yang, Ancelotti on the sidelines was furious. This time, he was not angry, but because of the referee Hayeris's decision. You didn't give Valdes a red card or even a yellow card. That's all. You also showed a yellow card to the players who protested. It's divided!
Zhang Yang's bad face was pulled away by Pirlo. Pirlo is afraid that Zhang Yang's stubborn temper will come up. If he continues to play cards again, it will be bad.
Kaka stood at the penalty spot. He and Pirlo are two penalty kickers from AC Milan. Although Pirlo is the first penalty kicker, this time, Kaka took the initiative to ask for the penalty.
Pirlo gave it to Kaka. He knew that it was not that Kaka wanted to grab the penalty, but that Kaka was more confident in the penalty. This penalty is crucial, and the pressure is naturally not small.
The camera gives a close-up of the Barcelona fans in the stands of the Camp Nou. Many Barcelona fans are desperate, because if AC Milan sent this penalty, Milan will lead Barcelona by two to one, and the total score is six to three. If Barcelona wants to advance, it must In the rest of the game, hit three balls! This is an almost impossible task.
In the media table, some Catalan journalists are very dissatisfied with Zhang Yang. Obviously, Zhang Yang's behavior of applying for a red card from Valdes to the referee Hayeris just now is very unhappy. Why? Do you want to kill them all? I've got a penalty kick. What else do you want?
"It's too much!"
"That's right, this boy is too bad."
Hearing the words of the Catalans, the Italian reporter couldn't help it. Peat, is this cheap?
"Do you dare to say that Valdes' foul action is not enough for a red card?" Fabio, reporter of La Gazzetta dello Sport. Rikari asked rhetorical.
The two indignant Daily Sports reporters looked up at Fabio. At a glance, Likari's face immediately became extremely ugly, as if he had been humiliated. One of them jumped up and shouted, "The referee didn't take out the card, which means that Baldes's action is not big. Maybe this is your fake fall?"
"What did you say?" Another Italian reporter was angry, "How dare you say it again?"
Seeing the movement here, other colleagues came to dissuade them and separated them. However, the resentment between Italian journalists and their Catalan counterparts seems to be greater. After the game, Fabio. Rickari reported what happened at the media table, which attracted Italian fans to denounce the Spaniards.
"Kaka stood at the free throw point. He came to take the penalty. Now it's time for him and Valdes to fight one-on-one. If this goal is scored, AC Milan will - Hayeris blow the whistle - Kaka - run- Kaka - shot - goal - enter -! Kaka! Kaka! Kaka! Kaka! Kaka! He tricked Valdes into throwing a penalty! Two to one! AC Milan overtook the score - now, in terms of the total score, they are 6 to 3 ahead of Barcelona! Tickets for the top four are almost available!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL-KAKA-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"
The narrator roared excitedly from the TV.
What is more exciting than him in front of the TV are the fans of AC Milan. Those who can't go to watch the game live can only choose to watch the game together in a crowded bar. They are so lucky to see this exciting scene near the end of the first half of the game.
"Huge! We are the champions!"
"Well done!!"
"Kaka, I *** love you!"
"Zhang! I love you so much--"
"Oh, oh, oh - are you going to propose to them?"
"If I were a woman, I would marry both of them!!"
"Ah ha ha ha ha... Zhang alone can make you want to die!"
Such a scene appeared in the bar where all AC Milan fans gathered. AC Milan was on an away game and an expedition to Barcelona. Only a few thousand AC Milan fans chose to go on an expedition to the Iberian Peninsula. Most of the fans still stayed in Milan. They were in various bars, watching football, cheering for the team, cheering, Shout.
At this time, Zhang Yang, who created the penalty, and Kaka, who scored the penalty, became the hero who mentioned the most times among the fans!
"Beer! More beer! How can there be no wine at such a moment?
"Cheers! For the top four!"
"Cheers! For the final championship!"
No one has gone to watch TV for a long time and listen to the commentary. Now everyone is thinking about drinking loudly, loudly declaring victory and excitement.
In the heavy rain in Camp Nou, the crazy celebration of AC Milan was finally interrupted by the referee Hayes. The first half of the game is not over yet. Barcelona also has an offensive opportunity to equalize the score. If the AC Milan players continue to celebrate so unscrupulously, they will definitely be complained angrily by the Barcelona players that they take the opportunity to delay the game.
Just as the players of AC Milan returned to the court, the fourth official also stood on the sidelines. He held up the electronic bulletin board, and the number on it was the stoppage time in the first half of the game - one minute!
Before the break, the Barcelonas only had one or two minutes to play.
What can I do with a one- or two-minute game time?
Barcelona's middle round kick-off.
Eto'o kicked the football to Messi, who broke through with the ball and passed Ambrosini. He had to continue to pass. This time, the football was shoveled out of the sideline, and Messi fell to the ground.
Deco throws a sideline ball.
After Harvey stopped the ball on the chest, he rubbed the football to Iniesta, who carried the ball and soared along the side road. Under the pressure of Kafu, he looked for the cross. Yayatore headed the ball directly near the penalty area.
This time, Dida made no mistake and took the football off the air steadily.
Dida holds the football in his hand, holding it with one hand and waving it with the other, signaling his teammates to press forward, which is actually delaying the game.
Sure enough, Dida then drove the football out with a big foot, and the whistle of the referee Hayeris also sounded.
At the end of the first half of the game, AC Milan scored two goals in a row with a score of 2-0 and entered the half-time break.
In the locker room where the home team rested at Camp Nou, the Barcelona players were a little frustrated. At the end of the first half of the game, they were scored another goal by their opponents. Now, they have to score three goals in the second half to advance, which is really too bad.
"Okay, don't think about losing the ball. That's powerless..." Reggie Calder was comforting them. Instead of being frustrated here for an end of the first half, it's better to think about how we can still color in the second half!" He clenched his fist and waved it in front of everyone.
"We basically took the initiative in the first half, and the rhythm of the game was under our control. That penalty... It was really an accident." Ricard said, but is this penalty really an accident? Ricard saw clearly that he knew that the referee did not show Valdes a red card, which was really Barcelona's great luck. If he was sentenced to a penalty and Valdes was sent off, then Barcelona really had no hope at all.
"...We must strengthen the offensive at the beginning of the second half. In the first half, our attack prevailed, but the offensive efficiency was too poor!" In the past, in the locker room, Ricard always considered some words, and he rarely became angry. But this time he can't take care of anything. There have been a long history of rumors that he will definitely be out of class. His days in Camp Nou has entered the countdown. In addition, in the locker room, Ricard's prestige is not as good as before. Therefore, in fact, Ricard is also a little tired of his days in Barcelona, and he doesn't want to stay in Barcelona to coach. His greatest wish now is to lead the team to the final of this season's Champions League and finally win the championship trophy at the Lujniki Stadium in Moscow. He slapped those media and good people in the face, took the two Champions League trophies during his tenure, and turned away gracefully.
However, now, the score of 1 to 2 and the total score of 3 to 6 makes Rijkard's expectation a luxury. However, he is unwilling. There is still half a game, and he still wants to let go.
"Eto'ao, your performance can be more active. Is there any problem in the second half of the game?
Eto'o gasp and doesn't want to talk to Ricard. In the Barcelona team, Eto'o is an alternative. The contradiction between him and Ronaldinho is well known, and with head coach Ricardard, Eto's is not friendly. Last summer, Ricard was in Eto'o and Ronaldinho. In the meantime, he chose to retain Ronaldinho and tried to sell Etoo at a good price. However, in the end, Ronaldinho did not leave, and Etoo also stayed in the team. Now, Eto'o doesn't have much respect for Ricard. He has such a bad temper. This season, Barcelona's performance in the league is not good, which is inseparable from the contradictions in their team.
Hearing Ricard's criticism that he was not active enough, Eto'o was angry. He didn't look up, but muffled his head and said, saying that he was fine.
Rige Calder looked at this player who gave him a headache. Eto'o's temper was really not easy to manage. He also knew the reason for Eto'o's attitude towards him, but Rije Calder had to use this Cameroonian. This black star is really good at scoring...
"...if you can't. I'll replace you." Ricard said something serious with a serious expression.
Eto'o grinned and didn't say anything about it. Just took a look at Henry. If Ricard replaced him, he could only replace Henry.
Rige Calder found himself in trouble. His players seem to lack morale. Ricard began to realize that if he did not raise the morale of the team, even if he arranged the tactics best, he could not save the team's defeat.
He stopped to explain the tactics. Since the players didn't listen, it was meaningless to continue.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked, "Although the situation is very bad, we don't have the hope of turning over. Why do I think you don't have the fighting spirit now?"
No one answered his question.
Pujol opened his mouth and wanted to say something. He also felt that there was something wrong with the team's morale. Although Pujol himself knew that he had little hope of scoring three goals in the second half of the game, as the captain of Barcelona and the soul of this team, he reminded himself that he would never admit defeat. , can't compromise.
I didn't wait for Pujol to speak. Rijekaard continued to break out.
"What time do you think it is now?" Some angry Rijkard couldn't help raising his voice, "Now is the time for life and death!" There are forty-five minutes left. The game will be over! How can you admit defeat in advance now? This championship is our last hope for this season! In another 45 minutes, if you are eliminated, you will really be empty-handed this season!"
He slapped the table, which made a sound that made everyone look up and looked over.
"You all admit defeat, don't you? The gap between the three balls makes you cowardly, doesn't it? The volume of Rije Calder is still increasing. Just enter the top eight and the third place in the league, are you satisfied? But I won't agree!! Do you think you're playing football for me? Bastard! I know, now it's all saying that I won't be your coach at the end of the season! Let me be honest, whether I win this championship or not in the end, I will not continue to coach Barcelona! I can pat my ass and leave. With my current qualifications, I will soon find a new job, but what about you! You will continue to play in Barcelona! Even if some people are going to transfer, what do you think others will say? Say you are cowardly! A coward who disarmed and surrendered after playing half a game! You will bear this shame for the rest of your life! Until you retire! It's not terrible to be eliminated! However, without the courage to fight, such a disilous failure is the most terrible! Do you still want to give up? Do you still think so?! Who else thinks so! Tell me he doesn't have the courage to fight! Then get out of here! I don't want such a player! Those fans outside don't agree!!" The angry Ricard threw off his suit, and he pointed to the door and roared. It scared everyone.
"They pay to watch the game, they support you, and they regard you as heroes! They love you!" Rijkard kicked on the door panel, "In the second half of the game, are you going to die like a bear or fight like a man? You choose!"
After saying this, Reggie Calder slammed the people in the locker room. He was about to walk away, and he was very angry.
Pujol finally stood up. He said. Sorry, coach. No one here wants to give up the game. We will not give up the battle!" He turned around and pointed to his teammate behind him, and someone was nodding.
"Yes. We won't give up. There are still 45 minutes left. Even if it's a little possible, we have to strive for it. Harvey, the team's vice captain, also made a statement on behalf of the team.
Okay, now the problem has been solved.
"Then be energetic. Take it out and fight!" Seeing the two bosses of the team stand up and make a statement. Rijkard's tone was better, and he began to continue to explain the tactics used in the second half of the place to the players.
Barcelona's tactics in the second half have only one core: attack, attack, attack!
In the visiting team's locker room at the Camp Nou.
"Fuck!" There was a loud howling sound from the shower room.
"What's the matter?" Captain Maldini asked loudly.
"There is no hot water!" Zhang Yang shouted.
Maldini was stunned.
Because Zhang Yang was interviewed by the media when he just passed through the mixing area, he was the last person in the team to return to the locker room, so he was also the last one to take a shower. In the rain, he was completely cool. If he didn't take a hot shower, he would catch a cold.
Everyone was fine when they took a shower just now, but they didn't expect that when Zhang Yang took a shower, there was no hot water.
"Is there a limited supply of hot water in Barcelona?" Ambrosini said angrily.
"I'll negotiate with them." Assistant coach Tasotti was furious.
Of course, Zhang Yang couldn't wait for Tasoti to come with hot water. He hastily wiped his body, changed into a jersey, put on his coat, and came out.
"Are you all right?"
"Be careful, don't catch a cold."
"This is too much." Zhang Yang scolded.
Ancelotti also frowned. He didn't know whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose. However, if it was done on purpose, it was really too much to put on the table.
The physiotherapist massages Zhang Yang to prevent him from catching a cold.
Ancelotti began the tactical arrangement of the second half of the game.
"After ten minutes in the second half, you can slow down a little and adjust it. During this period, you should pay attention to defense and save your physical strength. Then wait until the last 20 minutes before starting to work hard. Ancelotti said. The league has entered the sprint stage, and with the Champions League, AC Milan has been a weekly double match recently. Physical fitness is definitely a problem, especially for AC Milan, a team with a lot of veterans.
Moreover, it is very tiring to keep a rhythm in such a heavy-level game with such an opponent in Barcelona, because in addition to physical consumption, the consumption caused by psychological pressure cannot be underestimated.
Barcelona had the upper hand in the first half. AC Milan had a lot of defensive pressure in the face of Barcelona's attack. The team seemed to be tight and had a lot of psychological pressure. When fighting back, it was required to press quickly. The players sprint back and forth, and the physical energy consumption was also great. After the start of the second half of the game, it must be There is some adjustment, otherwise, there may be a physical problem with the whole team before the end of the 90-minute game, which will be bad.
Now, AC Milan leads 2-0, with a total lead of 6 to 3. Now, it is not extravagantating to continue to score goals. It's good not to lose the ball, and Barcelona will definitely attack desperately in the second half of the game. Therefore, according to Ancelone's tactics, Barcelona attacked, AC Milan is based on defense, in addition to recover. With complex physical ability, you can also create opportunities for yourself to fight back. When it comes to counterattack, Ancelotti is still very confident in the team.
In the first half of the game, AC Milan's two goals were classic examples of defensive counterattacks.
"Barcelona is eager to score goals. At the beginning of the second half, they will definitely launch a fierce attack on our goal. At that time, don't rush out to attack against them. Paul, and Kaladze, you have to pay attention. Barcelona will continue to be on your side in the second half. Speaking of this, Ancelotti has a headache, and the defense on this side is really worried. Maldini is old, Kaladze has just recovered from his injury, and he is in an ordinary state.
"It's up to us." Maldini took the last bite of the banana, wiped his mouth, and assured the head coach. Maldini's physical energy is extremely consumed, and he must supplement his physical strength. For athletes, eating one or two bananas to supplement his physical strength is almost common.
"Very good, that's it in the second half, defense." Ancelotti clapped his hands again. "On the one hand, defending the opponent's attack can improve our morale, and on the other hand, it can severely attack the opponent's morale. This is the process of this trade-off in football. If you can withstand their fierce attack at the beginning of the second half, then Barcelona's morale will be greatly hit!! So, 15 minutes after the start of the second half of the game is very important!" He reminded again.
Everyone nodded. They are not rookies anymore. Many of them are long-tested veterans. They know this.
"Then there is the attack. When defending, don't forget to counterattack, Zhang Yang, Kaka, in the second half, you have to play your speed. It causes trouble for Barcelona's defense line.
"No problem!"
"I know, coach."
It was Zhang Yang who said 'no problem' and said 'I know, coach.' It's Kaka.
Then, Ancelotti looked at Inzaghi, "Pibo, can you still hold on?"
"Of course!" Inzaghi said with a smile. The eyes are firm.
"Very good, I'll give you another 20 minutes in the second half of the game." Ancelotti said.
Inzaji nodded. He knew what the head coach meant. In 20 minutes, if there was a physical problem with his physical fitness, he would be replaced if he was less threatening. Inzaghi clenched his fist and tried his best to score a goal in the second half. It was a pity that the shot in the first half was saved by Valdes.
"Finally, I hope that no matter what happens, you will not lose your desire to win the game and your confidence in winning. This is more important than any tactic. Barcelona will definitely fight back. Let them come! We are not afraid! The crazier they fight back, the closer we are to the champion!!" Ancelotti said.
Everyone nodded hard.
