Chapter 647 The Opportunity of Casillas
The second half soon began, and the fans of both sides, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately put all their energy into the game. In the first half, Zidane's flying fairy stimulated the nerves of the fans. Many people were afraid of missing a wonderful ball because of a moment of negligence.
Inter Milan launched a fierce attack at the beginning, and Real Madrid was also ready to defend and counterattack. At the beginning of the second half, the pace was very fast.
Inter Milan first kicked off the attack with Ronaldinho's long-range shot at the front of the penalty area, and then the midfield players overwhelmed and grabbed the control of the midfielder with all their strength.
Zidane and Robert Carlos made a mistake in their midfield cooperation because of Inter Milan's forced robbery. Inter Milan launched a counterattack, and Zanetti, who was eager to get rid of his shame, quickly stepped forward in Robert. Carlos made a cross on the side before returning to defense, but Sanetti passed too quickly, and the striker in the penalty area was not in place. The ball flew from the left to the right, and finally went out of the sideline.
Inter Milan's out-of-bounds ball and the ball was taken away by Real Madrid, but Real Madrid's counterattack has not yet attacked the midfield. Dibbiao completed the steal between Zidane and Morentes and successfully passed it to Ronaldo's feet.
Real Madrid players have a very tight defense against Ronaldo. Makelele and Elgra teamed up to push Ronaldo to the side and finally pushed Ronaldo to the corner area. However, Ronaldo couldn't pass and couldn't pass. He kicked the ball on the bottom line on the defender and asked for a corner.
Inter Milan attached great importance to the use of corner kicks when the offensive was unfavorable in the battle. This time, almost all of the players they could compete for the top were devoted to Real Madrid's penalty area. They also arranged long-range shots around the penalty area and prepared to make a direct long-range shot when grab the second landing point. Whether they can score or not, at least Real Madrid's The penalty area creates a little chaos, so that Inter Milan has a little hope of equalizing the score.
After the ball came out, Real Madrid's penalty area was indeed chaotic, but because there were too many people in the penalty area, neither side could exert force. As a result, the ball was obtained by goalkeeper Cesar.
After taking the ball, Cesar did not rush to open the ball, but delayed behind, hoping to ease the tense situation, but the referee Meyer gave Cesar a yellow card.
Inter Milan attacked with all its strength. Real Madrid played more and more passively and was completely suppressed. In this game, Bosco did not equip Real Madrid with a counterattack striker. Morentes could not touch the ball, and Raul was stared at by Cannavaro. After the attack could not be played, the counterattack could not be played. Real Madrid's passivity can be imagined.
Bosco is not a mediocre coach. He didn't have a headache. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately replaced Figo with McManaman and speeded up his counterattack. At this time, Bosco's substitution was absolutely correct. There are still more than 30 minutes left in the game, and he may not be able to defend the most. After that, if the counterattack is powerful, not only will the pressure on the rear defense be reduced, but it may even expand the score and lock the victory.
Jiang Mu has not used his reserve power. After Bosque took the lead in changing moves, he also immediately responded. Under Dibiao and Robben, he strengthened the sideline attack and tit-for-tat with McManaman.
After the substitution, players on both sides need a process of adaptation, and there is a little accident in both sides in attack and defense.
McManaman began to move on the right wing like Figo, but a few minutes later, he suddenly moved to the left wing. Zidane deserved to be a master's vision and pass. As soon as McManaman ran, his direct pass passed behind Inter Milan's defender. McManaman received the ball and quickly went down. Pushing the middle road, Raul in the middle road shoveled, but under the interference of Cannavaro, the shoveled empty.
Then Inter Milan also made a retaliatory attack. The players in the front court suddenly collectively grabbed it back and broke Marclerle's ball and made a counterattack in the front court. Robben passed to the side near the penalty area line. Vieri hung the golden hook upside down from a long distance, and the ball deflected out of the post.
In the 15 minutes of the game, Inter Milan's offensive was dominant, but it failed to equalize the score. Jiang Mu once again transferred his troops to replace the defender Simic with striker Recoba, and eliminated the three strikers and Real Madrid. In fact, Robben and Ronaldinho also have the ability to play forwards. In this At that time, Inter Milan had five strikers in the front court.
Jiang Mu sent offensive players continuously. Although there was not much change in his playing style and did not change the strength comparison on the field, Jiang Mu conveyed to the players a confidence to win and a determination to fall to the ground with his opponents. After Recoba played, Inter Milan's morale obviously improved by another point.
The narrow road meets the brave to win. In the case of the similar strength of the two sides, morale and courage play a very important role in the battle.
In the 20th minute of the game, Ronaldo forcibly broke through after taking the ball in the front court and failed. The ball returned to Recoba. Recoba took the ball horizontally. After a few consecutive defenses, he came to the corner of the penalty area. At this time, he did not pass the ball, but directly pulled his foot and shot near the post.
Rekoba's shot was very sudden, which caught the goalkeeper Cesar off guard. He tried his best to save, but the ball bounced back on the post, while Cesar hit the post.
Cesar lay on the ground and did not get up, and the ball just fell at the foot of Pirlo. At this time, Pirlo did not care about Cesar's injury or not. He hit the ball and shot, and the ball flew straight to the middle of the goal into the net.
Pirlo's shot is not strong and the speed is not fast. If the goalkeeper Cesar is there, there is no possibility to score, but the goalkeeper Cesar is still lying on the ground. Real Madrid's players can't touch the ball even if they jump three times, so they can only watch the ball into the net.
After scoring the goal, an honest man like Pirlo couldn't help running to the stands excitedly and roaring at the fans.
At this time, Real Madrid's players quit, and they rushed to the referee Mayer to protest that he judged the goal to be valid.
Meyer was also helpless. The ball bounced back on the post and Pirlo hung the door. At this time, Cesar just knocked down the post. Meyer could not tell whether Cesar was injured or not. He could not judge Pirlo's goal invalid.
There was a very divisive scene on the field. The players of Inter Milan celebrated crazily. Real Madrid's players besieged the referee Meyer in anger. Bosque on the side of the field also walked to Jiang Mu, saying that Jiang Mu's disciples' shots were too inauthenuous, and Jiang Mu argued that it was impossible for the player at that time. The goal was over. It's all a good ball.
Inter Milan fans in the stands are cheering. In celebration, Real Madrid fans booed loudly. Some radical fans scolded Pirlo for having no sports ethics and the referee Meyer as blind.
The commentators are also very divided, and the commentators who support Inter are shouting "The goal is beautiful!" It's a goal that changes the situation.
The commentators who supported Real Madrid condemned Pirlo for shooting when goalkeeper Cesar fell to the ground and injured. Under the attention of fans around the world, such unsports immoral behavior will have a very bad impact on competitive football.
The referee Meyer asked the team doctor to enter the field and carry the goalkeeper Cesar down for treatment. Seeing that it was difficult for the main goalkeeper to return to the court, Real Madrid's players besieged Meyer more unrelentlessly. Even if they could not change the result of the game, they also wanted to let the referee have some psychological accommodation so that they could in the next game. Get some cheap.
The referee Meyer was annoyed by Real Madrid's players. He was not as famous as Corina and Merck. Real Madrid's stars treated him like this. He felt that Real Madrid's players were bullying. In anger, he took out a yellow card to warn Real Madrid captain Raul and deterred Real Madrid's players back.
The goalkeeper is a very special position. It is difficult for the substitute goalkeeper to have a chance to play, so the gap between the main force and the substitute is very large. At this time, Bosc did not dare to send Casillas, who is only 21 years old. He asked the team doctor to give Cesar a careful examination and treatment to see if he could. I can go back to the court, and at the same time, let Casillas warm up and be ready for both hands.
The goalkeeper can't play if he doesn't play in the game. Meyer can't let the game be interrupted for too long to wait for Cesar. A minute later, he came to the sidelines and urged Bosk to make a quick decision. There are more than 50,000 fans in the stands, and hundreds of millions of fans around the world are waiting to watch the game. He must be responsible for the audience.
Bosque had no choice but to pat Casillas on the shoulder, pulled him aside, and said solemnly, "Igor, this is an opportunity and a burden. How to go in your life? After this game, there will be two completely different paths. I hope you must seize this opportunity of life. In history, no goalkeeper has had such an opportunity. It's up to you. Go ahead, kid. Real Madrid needs you, and your teammates also need you.
Casillas looked immature and excited, but he still had confidence that did not match the young people. He did not expect to play in such a world-renowned Champions League final. It would be impossible for a young substitute to get a start in such a game, even in stoppage time. Yes, but Cesar's injury gave him a chance. Casillas knew that he should not be lucky, but he had to be glad that this opportunity was too important to him. Now fans all over the world are watching him, and any of his excellent or bad performance will be known by the world. He is a hero. He is mediocrity. In the remaining 25 minutes, it will be decided. If he can't show all his talents in these 25 minutes, he will be labeled as mediocrity, and it will be difficult to have a chance to wash it.
"Don't worry, coach, I will do my best to help the team."
After saying almost word by word, Casillas stopped looking at Bosque and stepped on the field without looking back.
