"GOAL!"
"GOAL!!"
"GOAL!!!"
Amid the cheers from the sky, teammates pulled Robinson up from the ground.
"It's not your fault!"
The defensive players wanted to say such comforting words to Robinson, but before they could speak, they saw the sullen expression on their goalkeeper's face.
He also knew it was not his fault.
No goalkeeper would have been able to end the situation just now.
The difference is that Robinson was tricked more thoroughly.
"You shouldn't have let him come here like that!" Robinson shouted angrily.
"He's already given us a lot of face!"
"Even if he doesn't kick it in the end, the ball will roll into the net!"
The players lowered their heads and recalled the goals they had just scored.
Indeed.
Robinson was knocked down by Kaka's fake shot, and then Kaka and the ball ran past Robinson's feet, and Kaka pushed into the net.
Even if Kaka didn't push the ball in the end, the ball would have rubbed the post and rolled across the goal line.
At this moment, neither Lee Young-pyo, who was left at the penalty spot, nor Dawson, who followed the penalty area, could prevent the final outcome.
But as a Christian, Kaká still saved face for his opponent at the last moment.
He used a push that was almost on the goal line to prevent Tottenham's embarrassment from extending from the penalty area line into the net.
Continuous kickbacks, precise through balls, deft movements, realistic fake shots...
AC Milan used a textbook combination to once again penetrate Tottenham's door.
Not only did they exceed the score again, but they also defeated Tottenham's newly established confidence again.
Also a goal.
What was your goal?
What was our goal?
We can have talented players like Kaká, who can score goals with superhuman personal skills; we can also have veterans like Pirlo, Jankulovski, and Gilardino, who can cooperate smoothly and achieve progress through the team. ball.
And apart from DONG's volley shot that extremely showed his personal talent, what other decent cooperation have you played?
On the green field, whether it is the explosive points of the stars or the cooperation of the team, it can be a means to defeat the opponent.
We are all professional players, and we can distinguish between poor players and poor players.
From the start to the present, Tottenham have basically been relying on their momentum and youthful energy to compete with Milan.
After the stars of both teams showed off their skills, Milan showed the "group cooperation" card in front of Tottenham this time.
The young team members of White Hart Lane looked at this new mountain, and their hearts could not help but tremble.
"No, I, I just wanted to hold him back, but..." Dawson shook his head helplessly.
"If only I had stood at an angle, the ball wouldn't have rolled between my legs." Huddlestone was also blaming himself.
Li Ronghao even lowered his head and remained silent, hiding far away.
In fact, everyone knows that the goal just conceded was not a mistake by one or two players, but a hole in the overall formation that was ripped out by the opponent's study.
Modric was guarding Seedorf on the other side at that time, and Wang Xiaodong was also attracted by Gattuso to a position closer to the midfield.
Similar to a "Tianji horse racing" strategy, Kaka is like no one in the frontcourt.
In cooperation with Gilardino's pull, when Pirlo sent a key through pass, no one except Lee Young-pyo and Dawson could help Robinson.
In fact, with this series of cooperation from Milan, the last two defenders did not even hold the corners of Kaka's clothes.
Although they knew in their hearts that everyone present did not have much responsibility, the team members were still holding back their anger and had nowhere to vent it.
After a short celebration, An Pang looked at the expressions on the faces of the Tottenham players on the other side and knew that his strategy was more than half successful.
Winning or losing does not matter.
Tottenham was able to win so many championships last season and even appear here together with AC Milan. The biggest reason why Tottenham relied on young players and a very dynamic style of play.
Recklessness can be temporarily obscured by impulsiveness, but it cannot be eliminated.
When AC Milan scores a goal with a textbook match, the embarrassment will be transferred to the young players whose skills have not yet matured.
Can we play like that?
Can we score a goal with that combination?
The existence of others has always been an inferiority point since ancient times.
Modric pinched his waist, with a frustrated expression on his face.
He was not tired at all, but the pressure on his heart was like a mountain.
As the core organizer of Tottenham's offense, he considers himself to be as good as the opponent's midfield metronome Pirlo in terms of vision, timing, and accuracy. This is his pride as a young man.
But then again, personal ability is one aspect. How to use your personal ability to connect teammates with different abilities is also a key point that tests midfielders.
An excellent offensive organizer must not only be proficient in cooperating with top scorers, but also be able to assist teammates to score goals when the opponent is not very strong.
This is the biggest difficulty Modric faces today.
The young Silver Horn King was not discouraged, but just a little regretful.
If he is given another year to adapt to the entire team and the new teammates he has just met, he dares to say that he will not be worse than Pirlo.
But now, it is indeed difficult for the Croatian, who has only arrived at White Hart Lane for more than a month, to connect the entire team.
"Okay, don't get discouraged," captain Robbie Keane shouted.
"Everyone go back to their places."
"The game is not over yet, there are even more than ten minutes left in the first half."
"If we can get one goal back, we can get two goals back!"
"It's no big deal. Don't let yourself always fall into the past. Go back to your place and stand still!"
Robbie Keane's words made the players briefly forget about the opponent's goal.
The captain is right, a goal is a goal, there is no distinction between good or bad.
Football is not a fancy show. You will not be awarded an extra point just because you score a beautiful goal, nor will it be counted only half because your goal is not exciting.
No matter how smooth and brilliant the opponent's cooperation is, it's just a point.
At this point, Tottenham has enough ability to recover.
"King Silver Horn, how are you?"
Just as Modric lowered his head and walked towards his position, an elbow was put on his shoulder.
"It's okay." Modric shrugged. He was not sure what Wang Xiaodong meant by talking to him.
"I see you just watched the replay many times." Wang Xiaodong said to himself, "Every time you see that guy passing the ball, you frown."
Following Wang Xiaodong's finger, Modric saw the unshaven Pirlo.
His brows tightened together again unconsciously.
"It's okay. He can pass the ball well, and so can you." Wang Xiaodong said softly.
"Come, look at this."
Wang Xiaodong slapped his thigh with his other hand, "As long as you can pass the ball as far as my leg can reach, I can score you a goal. Do you believe it?"
"Pfft..."
Modric smiled.
Seeing Wang Xiaodong lifting his legs back and forth like a sumo wrestler, the haze that the Croatian had just accumulated was swept away.
Indeed, he is not yet familiar with his teammates.
But with DONG in front of him, the two of them had a close friendship.
"That's what you said." Modric blinked, just like the Silver Horn King in the TV series, "I dare to pass, do you dare to accept it?"
"Nonsense!" Wang Xiaodong rolled his eyes, "If you dare to pass it, I dare to pick it up!"
...
After the restart, there was a subtle change in the mood of the Tottenham players.
Different from the previous high momentum, this time their fighting was obviously a little more impatient, and they received two yellow cards in a short period of time.
Looking at the yellow card above KP Boateng's head, Ancelotti smiled from ear to ear.
This is what he wants!
If Milan wants to establish its own order in this game, at least in front of its opponents, it must come up with some advantages that the opponent does not have.
Young people are always troubled by what they don't have.
Time passed by, and fans from both sides were watching the time on the timer.
The score of 2 to 1 is not an exaggeration, but for the leading side, it is also excellent to enter the halftime break with a goal advantage.
Today's Milan is no longer as arrogant as it was two years ago. After experiencing the tragic Istanbul, both Kaká and Dida have grown a lot.
Today's Milan team will never lose vigilance against their opponents just because they are leading in the midfield!
At the 43rd minute of the game, the physical fitness of both sides dropped significantly during this period. Especially for veterans like Milan, all they want is to control the ball at their feet and then delay the game until the end.
But everyone has played the "game of grabbing the circle", but when seeing Milan trying to end the first half with a reverse kick, Bell on the wing was the first to stand up.
Although Wang Xiaodong's previous goals were wonderful, Bell took most of the credit.
If it weren't for his desperate pursuit, the ball would not have been recovered and would not have flown into the Milan penalty area.
When Bell found that speed was all he had in this game, he took advantage of it.
"Gattuso turned around and passed back..."
"Hey! Hey!"
"The ball was passed too small!"
"Bell!"
"Bell is speeding up!"
"A trip..."
"It's over!"
Viewed from the air, Bell shot out like an arrow and snatched the ball away before Odo.
Almost at the same moment, Berbatov, Robbie Keane, Modric and Wang Xiaodong all started, running towards the Milan penalty area in pairs.
Next to Bell, Odo is chasing after him. In front of him are three Milan defenders and two of his own forwards.
The five of them fought and retreated, watching Bell dribbling the ball while rushing towards key points in the penalty area.
The three people in the penalty area guarded the two Tottenham strikers, but Gattuso and Seedorf outside the penalty area were also extremely nervous. They knew that Tottenham's goal did not necessarily come from the striker.
Seedorf retreated while nervously staring at Wang Xiaodong who was following behind.
No one expected this guy to run from one penalty area to another in a hurry, only to miss him at the last moment.
Seedorf will never allow Wang Xiaodong to have that opportunity again.
Soon Bell brought the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and Odo was already considering whether to extend his legs to tackle it.
At this time, Bell glanced at the penalty area and passed directly.
"Bell passed!" Huang Jianxiang shouted in surprise.
The ball on the screen flew into the penalty area, bypassed the players on both sides, and flew to the other side.
"The quality of the ball is not very high."
"The message was a little too loud."
"Modric, still chasing..."
Seeing that Bell did not pass the high-quality cross as before, the Milan players were all relieved.
It seems that these young people's foot skills are indeed not yet solid.
"Hold him, don't let him break through!" Nesta shouted in the penalty area, pointing at Modric who was chasing the ball.
At this moment, the Croatian caught up to the sideline, stepped on the ball, pulled back, and faced the opponent's penalty area with the ball again.
When he finished these actions, Yankulovsky was already in front of him.
Just when Jankulovski stopped and was about to step forward, the Croatian instantly discovered a flaw in his opponent's defense.
With a push of the arch of his foot, his body jumped forward, jumping over the opponent's outstretched leg, and suddenly exploded with speed.
"boom!"
This time, the Croatian didn't even raise his head and passed directly.
Long before the breakthrough, he had a cross target.
Uh-huh!
The ball flew over the Milan penalty area at extremely fast speeds. The players who broke into the top looked up and didn't even jump.
It seemed like another cross that was too big.
But just when the camera lens quickly moved from the front goalpost to the back point, there was a sudden explosion at the back goalpost of Milan.
boom! ! !
In the shot, Wang Xiaodong's right foot is independent, and his body is leaning to the right, with his upper body almost parallel to the ground.
At the same time, his left leg was raised high, almost forming a straight line with his upright right leg.
He raised his left leg with all the strength of his body.
Straighten the instep.
Hit the ball flying in the air hard.
The ball went straight to Dida like a rocket.
