"What the hell...what happened during the halftime break?" In the player tunnel, Gattuso felt a little proud when he saw the Tottenham players in front of him who were completely different from the ones at the end of the first half. He couldn't help being surprised, and whispered to Pirlo who was standing next to him, "Andre, something is wrong. It has only been fifteen minutes, how come these guys are so energetic again as if nothing is wrong? This It’s not scientific at all!”
After hearing this, Pirlo immediately looked to the opposite side and found that the morale of the Tottenham players in front of him was obviously on the rise, and their fighting spirit was even stronger than before the start of the final!
Seeing this scene, Pirlo's face suddenly became extremely solemn: "I don't care whether it is scientific or not. However, I can at least be sure of one thing now, and that is..."
"The second half of the game will definitely not be as easy as we thought!"
"To be honest, I am really happy to see that you are so mentally aware and mentally prepared." At this time, Maldini's voice came from behind the two of them, with a hint of relief in his tone. , "Remember, we must not relax our vigilance just because we are temporarily ahead in the score. Otherwise, the humiliation given to us by Deportivo last year is likely to be repeated today!"
"Captain, please rest assured!" Noting Maldini's presence, Pirlo and Gattuso quickly turned around and replied, "We assure you that what happened in Deportivo will never happen again today. ! This Champions League championship trophy will definitely belong to our AC Milan!"
"Haha, then I'm looking forward to your performance. Be prepared. I think the opponent's offensive in the second half will be even more fierce than before." Regarding Pirlo and Gattuso's vowed speeches, Maldini just said With these words, he patted the two of them on the shoulders with a smile and walked quietly to the front of the team, making final adjustments for the upcoming second half of the game.
Sure enough, after the start of the second half, Tottenham players followed George's tactical arrangement during the halftime break, and under the command of Alonso and Davis, they launched a fierce attack on AC Milan's defense from both wings!
You know, AC Milan's two starting full-backs are Maldini, who is about to turn 37, and Cafu, who will be 35 in two weeks. Although the two of them still performed extremely well this season, and even completely froze the wing magic wings of Cristiano Ronaldo and Robben in the first half of the game, even so, they have actually entered their careers. The physical recovery capabilities of veterans in their twilight period are far beyond what they were when they were young. Therefore, in the face of the impact of Cristiano Ronaldo and Robben, although Maldini and Cafu's defense area seems to be as stable as a mountain, the fact is that as time goes by, the two appear to be increasingly unable to defend!
Although Maldini at his peak was known as the world's best left back, don't forget that when he was in his early twenties, he was defeated when facing the attacks of Shalimov and Kanchelski. A situation where the opponent is defeated alive. Therefore, when he faced a wing attack group with excellent speed, skills and explosive impact, Maldini actually had a hard time.
For example, this time, Robben, who switched to the right, did not use any fancy fake moves when facing Maldini, who was waiting for him. Instead, he pretended to pass the ball to Karl who came from behind and then directly accelerated and forced a breakthrough!
When Maldini saw this, he was about to intercept him immediately, but he stumbled and was overtaken by the Dutch Peter Pan. Obviously, after fighting with the two young men for more than ten minutes, Milan The captain's physical strength finally started to have problems!
However, the experienced Maldini very wisely took a tactical foul immediately and directly reached out to knock down Robben, without giving Robben a chance to cut inside to hit the goal - Robben's inside cut was extremely threatening. Maldini is still very afraid of shooting.
"Alger, can you give me the opportunity to take the free kick this time?" Robben was about to step forward to take the kick when Baines ran over and made a request that surprised the Dutchman.
"...Okay." Robben thought for a while and felt that this was not a big deal, and the position of the free throw was too far to shoot directly, so he readily agreed, "Be careful when taking free throws, don't let your opponent take the opportunity to shoot. Fight back.”
"No problem, I will pay attention to this." Seeing Robben agreeing to his request, Baines nodded gratefully to the Dutchman, then walked to the penalty spot and began to prepare to take the penalty under the supervision of the referee. A free kick in the frontcourt!
Now that the boss has chosen to believe in me instead of letting Vermaelen play on the left, I will repay his trust with practical actions! Baynes is very grateful that George arranged for him to be included in the starting lineup. Therefore, when his reckless foul caused AC Milan to take the lead at the beginning of the game, although Baines didn't say anything and no one blamed him for it, he felt extremely guilty in his heart and thought that he This is the culprit that caused the team to fall into a three-goal deficit at half-time!
Shaking his head and throwing all these thoughts behind him, Bynes took a deep breath to calm down, then looked at the familiar figure in the crowd, gave a brief and powerful run-up, and then used his left foot to kick. Pass the ball directly to AC Milan's penalty area!
In terms of personal ability, Baines is currently only at the level of a main player in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and his physical fitness is not outstanding. However, he trains with teammates such as Ribery and Ronaldo every day, coupled with a highly professional coaching team. Developing a training plan for him has allowed Baynes' skills to be well polished. It can be said that Baynes has achieved a considerable degree of attainment in set pieces and crosses, which is enough for him to gain a foothold in the top league!
Just like that, Baynes's free kick flew accurately towards Drogba's position. However, in order to form a real shooting opportunity, Drogba still needs to get Stam behind him!
Since Nesta has been plagued by injuries many times over the years, it is difficult for him to go head-to-head with opposing forwards. Therefore, the task of dealing with powerful centers like Drogba has naturally been handed over to the stronger Stam. . The Dutchman also performed very conscientiously. From the beginning of the game to the present, Stam has followed Drogba every step of the way, not giving the latter any space to calmly hit the goal!
However, this time, Drogba did not care about Stam's movements. The Ivorian Warcraft, which focused all its attention on the ball, took a small step back, then jumped high together with Stam, preparing to head the ball directly towards the goal!
At this time, a surprising scene appeared: the two people who jumped almost at the same time were almost two steps behind in their takeoff! From George's perspective, Drogba is at least a whole head taller than Stam!
How is this going? Why did Stam behind him jump so short this time? Although he noticed Stam's abnormality at the first time, with the ball already in front of him, Drogba had no time to think about this problem. Instead, he subconsciously exerted force on his waist and abdomen and used his height advantage to get closer to the goal. Eleven meters away, directly towards the gate of AC Milan, there was a lion's head shake!
Drogba's header was not only powerful and heavy, but also came from an extremely tricky angle. The most important thing is that for some reason, the ball still has a small arc when flying, which undoubtedly further increases the difficulty of Dida's save!
Ruined! With his rich experience in goalkeeping, Dida, who made the save, immediately judged that it was impossible for him to save the shot. He could only watch in despair as Drogba's ball drew an arc in the air and passed by. Hitting the lower edge of the crossbar and flying into the far corner of the goal!
One to three! In the 56th minute of the game, the youngster Baines took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt to assist Drogba to score, helping Tottenham regain the victory!
Looking at Mejuto Gonzalez's right hand pointing to the center circle of the court, Drogba's arms shook, and he raised his head to the sky with excitement. After suppressing it for nearly fifty minutes, the Cote d'Ivoire Warcraft finally discovered that AC Milan This seemingly impregnable defense line was actually not as indestructible as he imagined!
It turns out that I have reached a height that I could only look up to but couldn't touch! It was only then that Drogba belatedly realized that it was not that Stam failed to show his true ability, but that he had unknowingly broken through the original shackles and reached a new realm and height!
Facing Drogba, who was suddenly promoted to a higher level, Stam, who was unprepared for this, inevitably made errors in judgment when he was caught off guard, which led to him making a mistake of insufficient jumping height in this defense. , which led to this conceding goal!
"The boss is absolutely right! Now I do have the ability to overpower any central defender!" While thinking this, Drogba rushed into AC Milan's goal, picked up the ball and went Running towards the center circle of the stadium - although his self-confidence has greatly increased, Drogba has not been dazzled by this goal. He still clearly remembers that Tottenham are still lagging behind and need to seize every point. Seconds to equalize the score!
At the same time, George, who saw Drogba using his physical strength to beat Stam and win a victory for the team, also turned around and high-fived Old Charlie on the side to celebrate! Judging from Drogba's performance just now, George can be very sure that under the butterfly effect he brought, today's Drogba has reached the height of a top center earlier than in his previous life, becoming the defender who makes the world famous. The super monster that everyone is afraid of!
Who in the world can stop the bravery of Warcraft? !
