"It was DONG's tackle."
"DONG's tackle was really timely."
"Otherwise, when Kaka's speed picks up, I'm afraid he will have to ride alone for thousands of miles!"
"Tottenham are playing very carefully now, just to prevent Milan's quick counterattack."
"It seems that Kaka's previous solo breakthrough has left a serious psychological shadow on Tottenham."
"The camera showed Kaka. It seemed that he was not affected at all. DONG's tackle was still very clean."
"Gattuso gave the ball to Seedorf, and now Seedorf is dribbling the ball. Kaká came to the Tottenham half..."
Martin Joel frowned on the sidelines. Kaká was really shining today, and this Super Cup was like vindicating his name.
In fact, Tottenham played very proactively after the start. Whether it was Wang Xiaodong, Modric, or Bell, the left back, they were very active in offense.
Under Modric's organization and Berbatov's impact, they even almost penetrated Milan's defense several times.
But this does not affect Milan's smooth and concise counterattacks. In every Milan counterattack, Kaká undoubtedly became the most beautiful point on the field.
If you rely on speed, it will not be easy for Bell to catch up with Kakana who is carrying the ball.
But the problem is that their positions simply don't match up. Every time Kaka is about to rush forward with the ball, he passes by Wang Xiaodong's defense zone.
As long as Wang Xiaodong moves forward a little, this guy like the wind will fly away with the ball.
Today's Wang Xiaodong is no longer the defensive midfielder who worked hard in the backcourt of Southampton two years ago. Coupled with Martin Joel's deliberate guidance, today's Wang Xiaodong is transforming into an attacker.
Because Martin Joel and Raiola both know that it is difficult for a defensive player to get better results in international awards.
If this player can score goals, that's definitely a plus.
Just look at the only goalkeeper to win the Ballon d'Or. In so many years, only one goalkeeper has won this award.
Therefore, Martin Joel is also hesitating whether to let Wang Xiaodong's position retreat further.
With KP Boateng as a fool, it would be extremely easy for Kaká to overtake him.
But if such a decision is really made, then Wang Xiaodong will be at best a key hub that limits Kaka's performance in today's competition.
If you want to change the course and result of the game, you need the outstanding performance of other players.
Although Tottenham today has many strong players, whether it is Bell or Modric, it is difficult to show their advantages when facing mature and stable players such as Seedorf and Gattuso.
What's more, under Ancelotti's core playing style of "four No. 10s", every midfielder can give full play to his abilities.
…
"Uh-huh!"
During Martin Joel's hesitation, the ball shot into the sky.
"Andrea!"
Under the pass of Pirlo, who has the "midfield metronome", the entire Tottenham team cheered and collectively chased the ball and shifted.
Chic long hair, deep eyes, expanded vision, precise passing.
Although he appears in the midfielder position, although his playing style is soft...
But as long as the ball comes to Pirlo's feet during the attack, it will come to the right place at the right time.
This is the midfield master, Andrea Pirlo!
Nowadays, AC Milan is full of talents.
Even the alien Ronaldo could only sit on the bench.
The players who represented Milan today, without exception, have the ability to lead the team.
The young Tottenham were exhausted under Pirlo's big foot transfer. Even the dashing Goberba had to raise his arms and follow the crowd to build Tottenham's first defensive chain.
"It's better to wait."
Martin Joel clenched his fists.
The situation on the field is like a turbulent sea. It looks peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there is murderous intent deep under the sea.
Every pass and every shot by AC Milan may penetrate Tottenham's goal again.
Apart from letting Wang Xiaodong retreat completely, Martin Joel can't think of any rescue method at present.
"Wait a little longer, wait until DONG or others tie the score, and then let DONG return..."
Martin Joel is like a gambler. He knows that it is the best choice to stop losses at this time, but he still looks at the leopard in his hand, hoping to take one last gamble.
But at the gambling table, if you can catch a pair of leopards, won't others have good cards?
"Bang!"
Gilardino on the striker once again took a shot. Fortunately, Robinson reacted in time and caught the ball firmly in his arms.
Bai Baihe fans in the stands broke out in cold sweat again.
…
Soon, the first half of the game reached the 24th minute, and the pace of the game seemed to slow down a bit.
"Pirlo takes the ball..."
"Go forward from midfield..."
"Long pass!"
"Found Seedorf!"
"Boateng followed."
"Seedorf ignored him..."
"Passing the ball into Tottenham's penalty area..."
As a major contributor to Milan's Champions League victory last season, Seedorf's pass was not very fast, but the route was a bit erratic.
Wang Xiaodong chased back while watching the incoming ball above his head, and finally jumped high after taking the final step.
"mine!"
A loud roar.
A figure rose up in front of Kaka, who was leaping high in the penalty area, and intercepted the ball in the air.
"DONG!"
"Nice cut!"
Although he couldn't catch up with Kaka who was dribbling the ball, Wang Xiaodong was able to prevent Kaka from getting the ball.
After barely rubbing his forehead, Wang Xiaodong landed on the ground and almost lost his center of gravity and fell down on the spot.
"run!!!"
With a loud roar from the front of the penalty area, Modric got the ball and moved his right foot deftly. After avoiding Gattuso who was rushing to grab him, he swung out a big kick before the opponent could catch him.
After these days of running-in, Modric has completely integrated into the "Tottenham trio".
Almost as soon as Modric got the ball, two speedy full-backs, Bale and Lennon, rushed forward like they were having fun.
The two wings that Martin Joel personally created for Tottenham in the new season were shown to fans around the world for the first time.
"Come on, Gareth!"
"Come on, Allen!"
"Come on, Great Sage!"
"Come on, electric mouse!"
After finally seeing a chance to counterattack, how could the fans in the stands still sit still?
Seeing the ball flying high under Modric's leg sweep, countless Bai Baihe's hearts were lifted.
You have the flexible and elegant Kaka who drives straight in, and we have the indomitable Monkey King and the mouse who fly together.
You go in the middle, we go to the edge!
The speed of the ball is certainly faster than the speed of a person, much faster.
Seeing the ball catching up with him from the backcourt and flying over his head, Bell felt that his legs were smoking.
If the Great Sage doesn't have somersault clouds, why don't you let him borrow the Hot Wheels?
Bell, who was desperately rushing forward, started sprinting on the green field like a 100-meter athlete. In the horrified eyes of the fans, this walking lightning actually gave the fans a visual impact of catching up with the ball.
One person and one ball were chasing each other on the court, and in the blink of an eye they rushed to the front of Milan's penalty area.
Dida retreated to the goal line early at this moment. Seeing Bell's speed of "180 miles", every goalkeeper was not frightened.
"Bell, Bell, Bell, Bell!!!!" The on-site commentator also chanted Bell's name until the ball fell, and his voice was stretched to the longest.
Bo~
The ball hit Bell's outstretched toes hard. At the last moment, the Great Sage on Hot Wheels actually caught the ball!
