Shortly after Milan's substitution, Tottenham's attack from the left came as promised.
After Huddlestone handed the ball to Bell who was further to the side, he had no room to move forward and could only pull back.
After receiving the ball, Bell faced a double-team between Cafu and Gattuso, who was guarding Huddlestone. He pretended to flick his left foot to the side, but when his toe crossed, it did not actually touch the ball.
It was at this moment that Cafu, who had just come on the field, was in a daze and paused for a moment.
Then Bell used his left foot to pick the ball again, but this time, it was real.
Cafu was stunned. For just a moment, he was thrown away by Bell by two or three meters.
Bale's left foot did not continue to pull away, but moved inward lightly, and used his right foot to block, and rushed between Cafu and Gattuso.
Bell broke out of the double-team between the two and drove straight in. He ran to the side line of the penalty area and passed the ball to the ground. Ambrosini, who came to cover the defense, could only stretch his legs symbolically, and the ball arced. Fly to the door.
Fortunately, the quality of this cross was not high, and there was no one outflanking him at the front. Dida fell sideways and directly held the ball in his arms.
[It turns out that my world and yours are separated by an ambiguous night. 】
The BGM sounded, and Bell got up and looked towards the middle, with a somewhat annoyed expression on his face.
He passed the ball a little anxiously. On the one hand, he was afraid that the opponent behind him would restrict him in extreme ways, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Ambrosini would successfully block it.
Therefore, a hasty kick not only caused him to slip, but the quality of the cross was also not high.
Not only was the ball confiscated by Dida, but the teammate who grabbed the point just ran into the penalty area.
Even so, Beiba and Wang Xiaodong both raised their thumbs high in praise.
After receiving encouragement from his teammates, Bell nodded and regained his confidence.
Five minutes later in midfield, Bale changed his routine.
Huddlestone also passed the ball and retreated, falling into double teams from Cafu and Gattuso.
But this time, Bell pretended to dribble the ball along the wing. When he put the ball in front of Cafu and stopped it, the Brazilian was stunned again.
Why did you stop?
Don't you want to break through?
how...
Before Cafu could react, his left foot, which had previously moved the ball to the left, suddenly moved the ball again. This time, the direction of the ball was to the right.
Upon seeing this, Cafu quickly took a cross-body kick, but Bell, who was so fast, dribbled the ball past his opponent before his right leg hit the ground, and once again escaped from the double-team of Cafu and Gattuso.
When Cafu's right foot landed, it not only blocked Gattuso's path to pursue, but Bell had also ran two meters away.
Facing the vacuum in the left front court, Bell kept advancing until Ambrosini came over to cover the defense.
【Your love is not what I want, that kind of kindness. 】
This time, Ambrosini followed Bell all the way to the baseline.
Seeing that he could not catch up, Ambrosini made a decisive tackle and shoveled Bell's cross out of the baseline.
After two consecutive successful breakthroughs, although the final cross was interfered by his opponent, Bell's confidence clearly increased as he got up.
Looking at Bale, who was looking at his teammates across the distance, Ancelotti's expression dropped.
what happened?
Why is this defense worse than Odo?
Cafu, who had been beaten twice, was also a little annoyed. The purpose of his substitution was to limit Tottenham's performance on the left.
Now Tottenham's right wing is basically blocked, but Bell on the left suddenly broke into the gap twice, causing him to lose face.
These little guys from Tottenham are really difficult to play!
Cafu learned from the painful experience and began to retreat slowly, temporarily giving up assists.
In the 62nd minute, Huddlestone passed the ball to Bell on the sideline while running, and the latter immediately formed a 1-on-1 with Cafu, who had already stood in the defensive position.
Due to Huddlestone's movement, Gattuso was unable to come over to cover, giving Bell more time to prepare.
Facing the Brazilian full-back who was slowly retreating, Bell slowly dribbled the ball, swaying left and right.
Having been beaten twice, Cafu is also well aware of Bell's terrifying speed. On the premise of not being stunned, he still maintains a distance of about two meters from his opponent.
But the Great Sage was not discouraged, and successfully shortened the distance between Kafu and himself to one meter by pretending to cut inward.
After the distance was shortened, the Great Sage once again showed his skillful left and right foot skills in front of the world.
Turn left, turn right, turn left, turn left...
After the second consecutive left move, the third touch of the ball was still with the left foot.
But this time when he touched the ball, Bell suddenly pushed the ball forward along the sideline, taking huge steps.
[Waiting for time for me to understand and find another kind of consideration. 】
Bell moved his legs at a speed visible to the naked eye. The fans on this side clearly saw that Bell had already taken two steps before Cafu took one.
As a result, in that short one meter, Bell was instantly tied and then overtook.
However, this time Cafu's reaction was relatively quick. Although he was pulled away by Bell, he was only in one position.
After touching the ball, the Monkey King took another step and cut inside, trying to get rid of the space for the cross.
In less than three seconds, Bell dribbled the ball to the junction of the penalty area line and the baseline.
Seeing Bell take off, Cafu didn't hesitate and fell directly to the ground to shovel.
Bell, who was running, was about to cross the ball when he tripped and the quality of the cross was obviously lowered.
But this time, the ball flew high from the baseline and did not go out of bounds.
Seeing the ball flying quickly above his head, Dida, who was standing at the front post, turned around in fright, just in time to see Nesta desperately trying to back up, but the ball missed.
“Nesta is missing the top!”
Before Huang Jianxiang's call could be heard, Berbatov volleyed from the small penalty area at the back post. The ball hit Nesta's feet, grazed the near post and bounced out of the baseline.
Berba's volley shot almost kicked the ball back.
Seeing that none of the shots that were close at hand were scored, Berba also looked annoyed.
The Bulgarian Footballer of the Year fell to his knees, covering the back of his head, watching in disbelief as the ball bounced off the billboard and bounced around Bale.
He didn't expect that Bell's kick would really reach his feet, and he didn't expect that the quality of his kick was so low.
Looking at Bell being knocked down by Cafu, Berba felt guilty again and again.
If I had been more attentive just now, facing the empty goal without Dida, I would have had a lot of time even if I stopped the ball and then shot again.
But it was too late.
An opportunity missed is a missed opportunity.
In Berba's sight, Bell climbed up holding on to the turf.
This time, it was him who gave his teammates a thumbs up.
It was his turn to comfort his teammates.
Tottenham took three consecutive chances from the left, and the stands were cheering, and everyone was cheering for the Monkey King.
Seeing this situation, An Pang did not hesitate and directly replaced Ambrosini with Emerson and continued to strengthen the defense on this side.
But Ancelotti seems to have forgotten that although Emerson was one of the best players in the Brazilian team at last year's World Cup, he did not perform more brilliantly in Real Madrid during his subsequent transfer.
A year later, Milan spent 5 million to bring Emerson to Milan. But he forgot that Emerson is now thirty-one years old.
Three successful breakthroughs made Bell full of confidence. He was like a wild horse running wild at the moment, and no one could stop him.
Teammates no longer pass the ball to Modric or Wang Xiaodong. All offensive firepower is concentrated on the left, waiting for Bell to blow everything up.
In the 64th minute, it seemed that there were new teammates supporting here, and Cafu inserted a little deep.
When Tottenham's counterattack hit Bale again, the one standing in front of the great sage was Emerson, who had just come on.
Facing Emerson, who has more physical strength, the young Bell didn't have any stage fright.
He first moved the ball inward with his left foot, seemingly intending to break through from the inside; but the next second, Bell hooked his right foot backwards, and the ball rolled from behind him to the wing again.
Whoosh!
Turning around, Bell once again used his speed to eat Emerson alive.
This time, Bell took a kick and pushed it directly to Modric in the corner of the penalty area, but Nesta defended slightly faster and intercepted the ball.
After another ten minutes, Huddlestone faced two double-teams in the backcourt. He desperately shoveled forward and shoveled the ball to the side.
Cafu, who was inserted at this moment, couldn't run back at all, and the counterattack started from the left again.
With only two touches of the ball, Bell took the ball across the midfield.
The 31-year-old Emerson quickly came closer, but at the moment when their bodies were level, Bell suddenly accelerated forward and suddenly surpassed Emerson by one body.
"Again, again!!!"
The on-site commentator was so excited that his voice became hoarse.
Everyone can see clearly that although Milan leads 3 to 2, and although Ancelotti has made his team focus on defense, Bell on the left is an unsolvable existence, and no one in Milan can restrain him. he!
Ancelotti has done the best with the existing lineup, but no one can restrict Bell when he is running.
No one! ! !
[The exit is before dawn, I have to cross that street! 】
Easily running three meters in front of the baseline, Bell successfully passed a low ball without any interference from his opponent.
But this time, Bell's speed was too fast.
So fast that neither Berba nor Robbie Keane could keep up.
The ball passed Dida's fingertips and was cleared out of the penalty area by Kaladze, who arrived in time.
Looking at the panting Milan generals, everyone knew that this powerful Champions League champion was almost at the end of its strength.
Martin Joel decisively played the second substitution card, replacing Berba, who was running poorly, and replaced him with the more active Defoe.
This time, it is bound to break through the gate of Milan!
Shortly after the substitution, another chance came in the frontcourt.
This time it was not a counterattack, but a 1V1 on the left created through Modric's transfer.
Bell, who was carrying the ball with his back to the sideline, faced Cafu who was deeper and deeper, and he already had a plan in his mind.
The Brazilian veteran has been passed by him three times. This time, Bell did not hesitate and pushed the ball directly towards the baseline in front of the opponent.
Naked contempt!
But even so, when Cafu took two steps, Bell, who had already taken three and a half steps, was the first to touch the ball with his left foot.
This time, the two were side by side, with Bell only half a body farther away.
But Bell did not choose to pass the ball. Facing Cafu who stretched his legs to intercept, Bell pushed his left foot inward and chose to overtake.
How can Cafu make the other party get what he wants?
His right hand couldn't hold back his left hand. When Bell made a big circle from the baseline to avoid Cafu, all the fans in the audience stood up straight.
I'm fucked!
What kind of magical speed is this?
Just now they were running shoulder to shoulder facing the baseline, but in the blink of an eye the ball was already rolling along the baseline toward the goal, and Bell and Cafu were racing out of bounds one after the other?
Who can tell me what happened in the blink of an eye?
[The acceleration of silence is my footsteps, the road running in sight! 】
In the cheers of the fans, Cafu was passed solidly.
Bell blocked the ball with the outside of his right foot and moved the ball to his left foot. He pushed forward with his left foot and passed to the goal.
Robbie Keane and Dida stumbled together at the front point. Defoe, who had just come on at the back point, stretched out his foot to block the ball directly into the net.
"This goal..." The commentator did not shout out the goal in a long voice, but looked at the referee hesitantly.
The referee shook his head like a rattle, indicating that the goal was invalid.
"This ball has already gone out of bounds before." The commentator told the story.
Through the slow-motion replay, Bell was still a step too slow to block the ball with his right foot. At this moment, the ball had already crossed the baseline.
The referee was right next to him and could see clearly, so there was no misjudgment.
Even so, the Tottenham fans in the stands cheered.
We have already played like this, can the goal be far away?
"Four times, already four times!"
The commentator did not focus on the "goal" that Tottenham had just disallowed, but stretched out four fingers and shouted exaggeratedly.
"Cafu, this veteran was originally sent to use his experience to limit Tottenham's left attack."
"But could you imagine it would end like this?"
"AC Milan's right wing has been completely beaten. It seems that scoring a goal is only a matter of time!"
Listening to the commentator's explanation, whether it was Inzaghi, Ronaldo, or left back Maldini on the bench, their faces were gloomy at the moment.
Indeed, the current Spurs cannot produce such exquisite coordination as Milan.
But on the contrary, Milan will never be able to violently score goals with exaggerated gestures like Wang Xiaodong, nor can they be able to rush all the way like Bell.
Watching the replay in the camera, many Milan fans covered their chests and held back tears.
Kafu, that’s Kafu!
The captain of the Brazilian team in 2002, the main player of the Brazilian team in 2006, the former "double card", and the unsolvable right back of the Brazilian team.
But now, with the addition of Emerson, the two of them were eaten alive by Bell again and again with his speed.
No bells and whistles, just speed, speed, speed.
Looking at Cafu pinching his waist in front of the baseline with a helpless look on his face, all Milan fans had a feeling of a late hero.
If he had been ten, no, five, or even three years younger, Cafu wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is today.
Kaka, Cafu, Emerson, Dida...
The members of the Brazilian Gang gathered together and said words of encouragement to each other, and then Dida took the ball to the penalty area and kicked it out.
What did they say?
At the retirement ceremony of Cafu and Emo a year later, Cafu shrugged and said: "At that time (Kaká) told us that it didn't matter, it didn't matter even if he was scored, he would score another one."
After Cafu finished speaking, Emerson next to him also smiled bitterly.
"We all know that it was just him (Kaka) comforting us."
