"Three to three! Unbelievable! Tottenham! Tottenham Hotspur! They evened the score!" In the live broadcast room, Andy Gray's eyes widened and he spoke passionately into the microphone in front of him. The ground roared, completely forgetting the so-called image and demeanor, "unbelievable! Facing the extremely unfavorable situation of falling behind 0 to 3, Tottenham launched a fierce counterattack in the second half. In just seven minutes, They scored three goals in a row and successfully filled the big hole they dug in the first half! Now, after more than an hour of fierce confrontation, AC Milan, which had led most of the game, was defeated by the tenacious Tottenham Hotspur. We are back on the same starting line!"
"I have to admit that I was wrong this time. Just like the 2002-03 season, when no one was optimistic about it, Coach Nelson once again led his team to create a miracle!" At this time, in the first half At the end of the game, Martin Taylor, who had declared that "Tottenham is out of business," finally came to his senses and said with great conviction. At this time, his tone was full of shock and sincerity towards George and the Tottenham players, "Now, let us cheer for the wonderful performance of Coach Nelson and Tottenham Hotspur! Regardless of the final outcome of this Champions League final Regardless of the result, Tottenham Hotspur’s performance tonight definitely deserves our warmest applause and most sincere praise!”
Tottenham fans were ecstatic in the stands and in front of the TV for the team's almost miraculous comeback, and Tottenham players were also selflessly celebrating on the Ataturk Stadium - from a desperate situation of 0 to 3. Having tenaciously tied the score, they indeed had enough reasons and capital to vent all the depression and passion they had suppressed in their hearts at this moment!
"Well done! Didier!" Cristiano Ronaldo and Robben, who were the first to rush to Drogba, threw Drogba to the ground without giving the Ivorian any chance to speak. Immediately afterwards, Alonso, Davis, Mascherano, and even Cech and Ledley King, who had been staying in the backcourt, rushed over and excitedly folded their hats on the court to celebrate. Drogba's goal!
"Tie! Three to three! We actually did it!" At this moment, Robben, Ronaldo and others who were extremely excited only kept repeating this sentence. They never expected that what George said to them at halftime would actually come true, and they would actually accomplish the feat of equalizing the score in the second half!
You know, their opponent is AC Milan! The offensive trident of Crespo, Shevchenko and Kaka shot through almost all opponents' goals. The midfielder composed of Pirlo, Seedorf and Gattuso was both offensive and defensive, and the midfielder led by Maldini and Nesta The defense line is even known as the top defense line in Europe. It can be said that apart from the fact that the players are a little older, AC Milan is completely considered to be the first-class existence among the top giants!
And now, they actually penetrated AC Milan's goal three times in a row in the Champions League final to equalize the score. This was despite being trailing 3-0 in the first half and having to fight with their last legs in the second half. How could such a result not make them feel happy and extremely excited? !
While Tottenham players celebrated the goal, AC Milan players stood blankly on the court looking at the Tottenham players celebrating crazily not far away, with expressions on their faces full of confusion and confusion. ——Until now, they have not recovered from the blow of being tied, and they have not thought clearly about what happened in these seven minutes. Why did the score suddenly change from 3 to 0 to 3 to 3?
"Okay, let's stop the celebration here." A minute later, Ledley King climbed out of the crowd and stopped his teammates from continuing to celebrate - after being appointed as the team captain by George After that, the young central defender who came from Tottenham's youth training is maturing at a rapid speed and knows when to focus on the overall situation. "Don't forget, we have only tied the score at three to three, and we have not really Defeat the opponent. Not to mention, there is still nearly half an hour before the end of the game. With AC Milan’s strength, anything can happen. So, if we don’t want to be extremely happy and sad, for example, let what happened to Bute happen again to us. , then we’d better obey the referee’s order now and return to our half to prepare for the restart.” (Note: Hans Bute is called the “penalty goalkeeper” by fans because he is good at taking penalty kicks. ”. In April 2004, during the match between Leverkusen and Schalke 04, the goalkeeper took too long to celebrate after scoring a penalty kick and was sneak-attacked by Schalke 04 directly from the center circle of the stadium. Succeeded and became one of the classic negative teaching materials on the football field)
At the same time, AC Milan has gradually stabilized its military morale under the encouragement of veterans such as Maldini and Cafu - although the scene of losing three goals in a row to Tottenham reminded many of them of the previous game. The past season was reversed by four goals by Super Depor, but they did not become discouraged. Instead, they regrouped after summing up their experiences and lessons and prepared to regain the initiative in the game again!
In fact, the decline in physical strength of veterans such as Maldini is only one of the reasons why Tottenham was able to recover a three-goal disadvantage so quickly. The main reason is Ancelotti's rigid and terribly slow on-the-spot command ability. If Ancelotti can think more flexibly and respond faster, then AC Milan will not have to face the situation of being beaten by Tottenham with random punches and losing a great situation.
Therefore, although the lead that was finally established disappeared in the blink of an eye, and veterans such as Maldini and Cafu were also exhausted due to the consumption of a season and Tottenham's crazy attack, AC Milan was not defeated. After equalizing the score, Tottenham, which was full of morale, collapsed directly. Instead, they fought extremely tenaciously with their opponents, and they were inseparable on the court!
Although AC Milan in the previous life lost the financial support of Lao Bei after the Calciopoli scandal broke out, every summer they could only use extremely limited funds to find some bargains in the transfer market and make minor repairs to the aging first-team lineup. , and even had to sell core players such as Kaka, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to fill the increasingly serious financial deficit, but even so, the Rossoneri only officially exited after struggling for six years. The ranks of top wealthy families. The reason why AC Milan has been able to last for such a long time is precisely because there are extremely experienced players such as Maldini, Gattuso, and Pirlo who have experienced countless storms and waves!
After the game restarted, AC Milan, which gradually emerged from the shadows, once again showed strong combat effectiveness, using their rich game experience to offset Tottenham's advantages in physical fitness and impact. And the result is quite obvious. They not only withstood the continuous impact of Drogba and others, but also created many scoring opportunities!
However, although the players from both sides played fiercely on the court, it was a pity that neither side could score a goal in the next half hour-Sheva and Kaka were within easy reach. The shot was blocked by Vidic and Ledley King, while Drogba's turning shot outside the penalty area and Robben's signature inward shot were also resisted by Nesta, Stam and others. He was blocked from the goal!
In this way, when the ninety-minute regular game came to an end under the two short and one long whistles of the referee Mejuto Gonzalez, the exhausted AC Milan, under tremendous mental and psychological pressure, insisted on Withstood Tottenham's successive attacks and dragged the game into overtime!
