We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 151 The midfield must open champagne and retrace the legendary path of Palermo!

[PS: This is a huge chapter of 19,000 words. I wrote the Champions League final in one go! Please give me your rewards and monthly tickets now! Don’t say that Taozi likes to break chapters and get stuck. Taozi never breaks chapters. It’s just that I can’t do it. I wrote this chapter by staying up late last night and writing it during the day today. I can’t save a single word of this broken manuscript. If something happens and I can’t write a word, it will be a disaster.]

"Hello everyone, this is the Champions League final brought to you by Zhuandianertai, I am the commentator Huang Jianxiang."

"AC Milan had the same squad today as they did when they beat Palermo four days ago."

"Crespo and Shevchenko are the two strikers."

"Kaka plays as attacking midfielder."

"Gattuso and Seedorf play in midfield."

"Pirlo plays as a playmaker."

"The back line from left to right is Maldini, Nesta, Stam, Cafu."

"Goalkeeper Dida."

"It seems that Ancelotti was very satisfied with the result of the last encounter and felt that no changes were needed."

"Palermo also fielded their regular starting lineup."

"Ribery, Toni, Eduardo."

"Modric, Chiellini, Toure"

"Grosso, Vidic, Carragher, Zaccardo."

"Goalkeeper Handanovic"

"Barzali has not found his form after recovering from injury, so Carragher replaced him in the starting lineup, but Carragher is definitely not a weakness. The only player who can be called a weakness on Palermo's side should be Modric."

With a whistle, the game officially began, and peak Milan almost immediately took the initiative.

Less than twenty seconds after the kick-off, Kaka received a pass from Pirlo, accelerated the ball, and created a free kick on the right rib.

The referee's whistle today was not very harsh. It seems that UEFA hopes that both sides will play at their best and with style, rather than turning the game into a meat-meat mess.

After all, this is the brightest stage in world football.

It has broad propaganda significance.

Pirlo took a tactical free kick, and Palermo was mainly focused on defending against Milan players' headers.

Unexpectedly, Pirlo's kick was not that deep, but very shallow, not even reaching the penalty spot.

Maldini kicked the ball into the air.

"Modric!"

He Tianqi roared.

This Milan team's tactics are not complicated and are not difficult to target.

Before the game, he told Modric that if Pirlo took a free kick, he might not pass it very deep, but might do the opposite, so he should pay attention to the players on Milan's side who did not advance.

Modric rushed over, turned around and jumped, blocking the ball aside.

The dream goal that was supposed to be scored by Maldini disappeared.

However, the next moment, Kaka subconsciously raised his foot and kicked the bouncing ball towards the Palermo goal, completing the follow-up shot.

"GOAL!"

"One to zero! AC Milan took the lead less than a minute into the game!"

"Kaka dribbled into the field and helped the team get off to a dream start!"

"This free kick was created by Kaka's breakthrough, and now he scores the goal, completing the loop!"

"It is worth mentioning that the reason why Kaka was able to join AC Milan was said to be He Tianqi's decision! Barbara, who was in charge of the transfer, was a little unsure at the time and sought He Tianqi's help."

"Berlusconi helped Palermo and, in the end, helped himself."

"He Tianqi helped Barbara, but ended up hurting himself. From this point of view, there is still a big gap between He Tianqi and Berlusconi!"

On the court, Modric helplessly spread his hands towards He Tianqi, indicating that he had tried his best.

He Tianqi nodded.

The inertia of history is enormous.

It’s not that it can’t be changed, but even if it is changed, it may still end up like this.

This inertia is not based on mysterious power, but on reality.

Take the Serie A championship for example. In the past two years, the most competitive teams in Serie A are Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan and Roma.

No matter how much trouble there is, there is a high probability that one of the four of them will win the trophy.

Then Roma's finances are destined to collapse, and the Holy Alliance is destined to betray Inter Milan, so the real championship teams are AC Milan and Juventus.

It would be unscientific to suggest any other team would emerge.

The same is true now in this Champions League final.

The goal that this peak Milan team should score will be scored sooner or later even if it is affected.

Because the players' strength is there.

This is the best of Shevchenko + Kaka + Pirlo + Nesta + Gattuso + Seedorf!
There are also Cafu + Crespo + Maldini + Rui Costa at the end of their peak!
This is the perfect overlap between a player's career and the team's understanding!
"That's a good idea." He Tianqi nodded.

There are practical reasons for historical inertia. AC Milan's strong performance in the first half and its disadvantage in the second half were both destined.

Barbara: Isn't it because you gave us enemas, uh... poured alcohol into us, which affected our physical reserves?
To some fans, He Tianqi's indifference is just pretending to be calm.

They believed that as the game progressed, He Tianqi's expression management would definitely fail.

In the fourth minute, Ribery made a cross to create a corner kick.

Milan is not afraid of him crossing the ball from the bottom, but it does not forbid him to cut inside.

After all, with Nesta, Stam and Maldini, they are not afraid of a mere header from Toni.

How thief is Modric?

His corner kick was not sent directly to the middle, but to the outside.

Carragher's long shot was blocked by Kaka.

Zaccardo took control of the ball immediately and passed it to Modric who came back to ask for the ball.

Modric made a cross at a forty-five-degree angle.

Vidic headed the ball but it was caught by Dida.

In the 13th minute, Cafu broke through the wing and created a corner kick.

Seedorf took a corner kick, Crespo headed the ball in front of the goal and was very close to scoring.

But under the command of He Tianqi, Carragher stood in front of the goal in advance and blocked the ball with his body.

Stam and Vidic jumped up at the same time. The former won the ball and shot it without waiting for it to land.

But Vidic did not lose control of his body. He failed to head the ball, but he did block it.

It's still fifty-fifty between the two!

The football bounced to the outside left side, and Gattuso dribbled into the left side of the penalty area.

Carragher rushed towards Gattuso, but found that the other party was trying to scammer him and dodged in time.

Gattuso's dive to win a penalty failed.

He was too embarrassed to complain, so he walked back in silence.

The referee appreciated Gattuso's self-awareness. If Gattuso had come over to ask for a penalty, he would have given him a yellow card.

Because it's too fake.

It is recommended to study film.

Modric: Why not come to our "Baying"?
In the 17th minute, Maldini passed the ball to Kaka in the center circle. Kaka received the ball and dribbled past Modric who came to defend.

The pass found Cafu during the advance.

Cafu sent in a cross.

After the ball was passed, Kaka made a header, but it was too far away from the goal and the header was weak and the ball was easily caught by Handanovic.

"If Eduardo had taken the ball, he might have scored with a diving header." Guardiola felt that AC Milan felt different today than four days ago.

Today they seemed to be lacking a breath.

Although they still maintain their dominance, it is not easy to see, but Guardiola can feel it.

He couldn't help but sigh that the wine He Tianqi drank with AC Milan was not in vain.

The Milan players' stamina bars seem to be fully restored, but they are most likely fake.

In the 28th minute, Grosso failed to break through from the wing and passed the ball back to Ribery.

Ribery used his heel to push the ball behind him, trying to get past Seedorf, but was blocked by Seedorf.

Seedorf passed the ball, Kaka took the ball to launch a counterattack and found Shevchenko.

The Ukrainian nuclear warhead scored with a quick move.

But the linesman raised the flag, it was offside!

Palermo's offside tactics were very mature and tricked Shevchenko.

Inzaghi, who missed the game due to injury, sighed in the stands. It was absolutely safe for him to score this goal.

In the 37th minute, Modric's long shot was blocked by Dida.

The Brazilian goalkeeper is in good form.

In the 39th minute, Pirlo made a surgical pass from the backcourt.

Kaka received the ball, dribbled forward, and Modric couldn't keep up at all.

He is not afraid of conspiracy. How could anyone be more sinister than him?

But he was afraid of Kaka's conspiracy.

If you can’t keep up, you really can’t keep up!

Crespo made a cross-court run in front, interfering with Vidic and Carragher.

Kaka took the opportunity to pass the ball to Shevchenko who was in an open space.

Shevchenko made a cross pass and Crespo shot at the goal.

But Handanovic played bravely and saved the ball.

Unfortunately, Shevchenko scored with a follow-up shot.

Two to zero!
Palermo's decline is already apparent!
But the difference is that this goal should have been scored by Crespo.

But this time, it was Shevchenko who scored.

When Milan formed a three-on-three situation in the frontcourt, if the west side couldn't score, the east side would have to score.

He Tianqi reminded the players to stay focused.

But it's of no use.

In the 42nd minute, Cafu and Gattuso surrounded and robbed Ribery. He Tianqi complained that the interception was a foul, but the referee ignored it.

Pirlo launched another counterattack and passed the ball to Kaka.

Kaka received the ball, turned around and passed Toure, who didn't know whether to rush forward or retreat to block the position, and then made a straight pass.

Toure hesitated for a moment and lost the chance to steal the ball from Kaka.

The Son of God is so fierce!

In the frontcourt, Crespo and Carragher were running and confronting each other fiercely.

Crespo had the upper hand and he was in great form today.

Carragher's strength lies in his versatility, but his weakness is that his defensive ceiling is not high enough.

Handanovic saw that the situation was not good and took decisive action.

But Crespo was in a good mood and shot the ball without stopping, and the ball went over Handanovic's head and into the net.

"Three to zero! Three to zero!"

"AC Milan has won the Champions League again!"

"Although it's a bit too early to say that, after all, this is only the score in the first half."

"But I don't think Palermo has a chance!"

"This is the Champions League final, this is peak Milan, they won't give Palermo any chance!"

“The beautiful legend of Sicily is finally coming to an end!”

At this moment, the camera turned to the Palermo coaching bench, then to their fans' stands, and finally locked on Monica, who had a sad look on her face.

In the end, the first half ended with a score of three to zero.

AC Milan returned to their locker room in jubilation.

Pirlo took out a bottle of champagne from his cabinet - the special celebration edition of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Midfield Champagne.

3-0 at halftime, we have to pop the champagne!

This is the tradition of Italian football!

Pirlo handed the champagne to Ancelotti.

He is very smart and knows that AC Milan's previous marketing of the relationship between Nabokov and He Tianqi has hurt Ancelotti a little.

In particular, some media photoshopped Ancelotti out of the photo, making it seem like He Tianqi was the head coach of Milan.

So this bottle of champagne must be opened by Ancelotti.

Let him also enjoy the joy of pouring wine after winning the championship.

Ancelotti was in high spirits and expressed satisfaction with Pirlo's behavior.

Boo!
Champagne filled the air and the entire Milan dressing room was filled with joy.

The stadium commentator also received a notice from the staff: "Dear viewers, let me tell you a piece of news. Just now, five bottles of champagne were opened in the Milan locker room to celebrate the victory of the game!"

"Some fans who don't watch Serie A may not know this, but this is a new tradition in Italian football."

"If you lead by three goals or more in the first half, you should open champagne at halftime. This means that the team will score more goals in the second half, continue to expand the score, and win the final victory."

"At the same time, it is also a fatal blow to the other side's morale."

"Interestingly, the first team in the world to use this kind of celebration was Palermo, who was being celebrated today! And the one who invented this kind of celebration was none other than Palermo's head coach He Tianqi!"

"It was he who turned this way of celebration into a tradition in Italian football and brought it to the Champions League. Palermo did this when they beat Real Madrid and Chelsea this season! It also had a very good effect!"

“But I believe that at this moment, the thing He Tianqi regrets most is inventing midfield champagne!”

The Milanese celebrated too enthusiastically.

Their cheers could be heard in Palermo's locker room, as well as... the sound of champagne being popped.

Palermo's morale plummeted.

The players were sweating profusely, they really tried their best.

But we really can’t win.

Pirlo's passing cannot be limited by running hard.

Kaka's dribbling forward is unstoppable whether you are moving forward or backward.

Shevchenko's threat in the frontcourt is almost unstoppable.

Crespo is in hot form!
AC Milan's defense is as solid as a rock.

Coupled with the score of 3-0, the Pink Eagles have never been so desperate.

He Tianqi didn't say anything, because nothing he said would make any difference at this moment.

If you fail an exam, will you feel relieved because your friend says “I’ll do better next time”?
If you are late for work on the last day of a month and fail to achieve perfect attendance, will you be motivated by the administrator’s words “work harder next month”?

No, the world is destroyed!

But He Tianqi was prepared for this.

He turned on his phone and initiated an expensive video call.

The scene flashed and Camignani appeared over there.

He had a microphone in his hand.

He was high up in the stands of the Friedrich II Stadium.

The scene changed and the camera moved to the middle of the court, changing to Camignani's perspective.

In addition to eight large screens on the field, staff were also laying out jerseys on the grass.

Did He Tianqi spend so much money out of his own pocket to call fans to the home stadium to watch the live broadcast just to benefit the fans and vendors around the stadium?
Absolutely not!

"The red one is the jersey of Serie C team Potenza." Camignani's voice brought people back to the winter of 2002. "Maybe some new players don't know it, but that was the starting point of the Palermo legend."

"This was He Tianqi's first match as Palermo's leader, and also his first victory for Palermo. That day, the first snow fell in Sicily."

Daolang: ...

At the same time, major media outlets around the world heard the news and switched their coverage to the "UEFA Champions League venue" at the Frederick II Stadium.

The footage was jointly broadcast by Chinese media Sports Weekly and CCYV Sports Channel, with signal equipment provided by the official.

Camignani's voice reached thousands of households: "The red and white jersey over there is the jersey of the Serie B team Perugia. This was He Tianqi's first opponent in Palermo's Italian Cup and his first victory in the Italian Cup. At that time, Perugia was still a Serie A team."

"The blue one is Lazio, the red one is Roma. These were opponents that Palermo could not even imagine at the time. They were so strong... The red one over there is Turis. Palermo defeated them and became the Serie C champions."

"I don't need to say much about the black and white. Juventus and Palermo won the first top honor in the team's history of more than 100 years with them."

"The crimson Torino jersey, this is Palermo's first opponent in Serie B, and it also marks the first step for Palermo to win the Serie B championship unbeaten!"

"The blue one is the Manchester City jersey, which is Palermo's first opponent in the UEFA Cup and the first step for Palermo to become a Premier League killer."

"The yellow and black jersey is beautiful, it comes from Dortmund."

"The blue and black are Inter Milan, and the entire Palermo team in the Italian Cup dyed their hair white. Many people were impressed."

"The red and white one is AC Milan's jersey. This is the jersey Palermo exchanged with AC Milan after the Italian Cup semi-final last season. Palermo defeated AC Milan with a hop-step penalty! Since then, the hop-step penalty has become popular in world football."

"These black and white ones are from Newcastle United... The light blue ones are from Marseille, and the red ones next to them are from Liverpool... The red and blue jerseys belong to Barcelona, ​​and Palermo defeated them and reached the UEFA Cup final. This year, people say Ronaldinho conquered the world, but I think He Tianqi conquered Ronaldinho!"

"It's Juventus again. This is the second time Palermo has beaten them and successfully defended the Italian Cup."

"The white one is for Valencia, and it comes from Palermo's most important honor so far, the UEFA Cup!"

"And then they got into Serie A, white and purple, Anderlecht! Palermo qualified for the Champions League."

"Another AC Milan jersey. This is the Italian Super Cup at the beginning of this season. Palermo beat Milan for the second time. Of course, they were also beaten twice by Milan in the league."

"Blue and white, Porto, European Super Cup... Yellow jersey, Fenerbahce, this is Palermo's first Champions League game."

"Here I am, with Manchester United's jerseys all over, and I even saw Scholes' autograph."

"Then it was Lyon... oh, Real Madrid. I still remember the Palermo players going to swap jerseys with Real Madrid stars, especially in the second leg. The Real Madrid players were not very willing because the score was really too bad for them. But they had the qualities of superstars and agreed to the Palermo players' request."

"It's Juventus again. This time it's Palermo who meets them in the Champions League. The result is heartwarming... Blue, this is the first time He Tianqi has faced Chelsea head-on, and it's also the closest moment for Palermo to be eliminated from the Champions League this season!"

"But fortunately, they held on. The current best head coach in the world defeated the former best head coach in the world!"

As the old man Camignani told the story, two and a half years passed quickly.

These jerseys were put together and arranged to form the "champions" of the six official languages ​​of the United Nations: Chinese, Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish!
In the middle, there are eight championship trophies.

They formed a circle, leaving one empty spot.

"The Champions League is waiting for you!" Camignani walked all the way to the stadium and looked at the fans around him. "At this moment, I am not the head coach of the Italian national team. I am just an ordinary former member of the Palermo coaching staff."

"I'm just an ordinary Palermo fan like everyone else."

"But I know that in Istanbul, there was a group of Palermo players who were in desperate situations."

“They need our help!”

“They need our cheers!”

"I always believe that Palermo can overcome any difficulties!"

“Come on, Palermo!”

Camignani pointed the microphone toward the stands.

“Come on, Palermo!”

The fans made a deafening noise.

"Palermo, come on!" Camignani continued to shout, but halfway through, the staff suddenly rushed over and gave him a quick-acting heart-saving pill.

Many fans watching the broadcast were stunned.

Is the old man working so hard?
"Palermo, come on!" After taking the medicine, Camignani shouted for the last time in a not-so-loud voice.

But in the stands, the sound has already broken through the sky!
According to the Italian Seismological Bureau, Sicily experienced obvious seismic waves at the time, which later caused the waves on the coast of Sicily to increase by one level.

The earth is shaking!

Mountain whistle tsunami!

Thousands of miles away at the Ataturk Stadium, in the Palermo locker room.

There is no need to say more about He Tianqi.

What was in front of him were no longer just players.

But they are passionate gods of war!
Palermo's morale reached its peak.

Modric burst into tears and murmured: "It turns out that he confiscated the jerseys we asked for, not to sell them for profit!"

All major sports media also updated the news immediately.

News such as "AC Milan leads by three goals and secures victory in advance" and "Congratulations to AC Milan for winning the sixth Champions League in team history" were pushed down below.

replaced by:
"Palermo's home cheer shocked the world, Sicily will never admit defeat!"

"Italian coach Camignani turns into Homer, walks through Palermo's "Legendary Road", and tells the epic story of the dark horse!"

"What magic does Palermo have that allows a 70-year-old man to give a passionate speech despite a heart attack?"

"Palermo players were mocked for exchanging jerseys, it turns out it was for this moment!"

"Never give up Palermo, we will continue to fight even if we are three goals behind! Let's cheer for the fighters of Palermo!"

"More than 80% of ordinary fans hope Palermo will reverse and win the championship!"

"Don't cry, Tianqi, stand up! Sister loves you, Milan deserves to lose!"

For a moment, AC Milan turned into the villain.

Milan fans don’t know what their team did wrong. Why do they suddenly feel a little guilty when they support them?

Florentino kept nodding his head. He thought it was great to broadcast the Champions League final at home, but he didn’t expect Palermo had another big trick up their sleeve!
An old man buried in the dirt up to his neck, crying and shouting, directly created a classic.

The Champions League champions appear every year, but how often does such a wonderful graduation project come out?
He Tianqi is at least at the level of an Oscar-winning Best Director.

Three years ago, Real Madrid’s centenary celebration was ruined by Super Laco and Tristan.

Seven years later, it will be Real Madrid’s 110th anniversary celebration. Why not let He Tianqi take charge of it?

Similarly, Berlusconi also appreciated He Tianqi's campaign.

He even wondered if he should let He Tianqi be his advisor during the next general election.

The ability to incite is too strong.

Inside and outside the stadium, everyone who is not wearing the red and black jersey now supports Palermo.

Those who wear the red and black jersey of Milan all think that Palermo needs this Champions League more than Milan, so as to put the most perfect end to the beautiful legend of Sicily.

After all, if I lose, I will become an eternal joke in the football world.

But if Palermo loses, they will lose one Champions League title!

It's outrageous!
In Sicily, after his speech, Camignani entered the player tunnel.

The main thing is to collect the unused jerseys. He Tianqi said that these will be sold to Wang Tao at a high price in the future.

After directing the staff, Camignani felt a little tired, so he took out the "quick-acting heart pill" and poured a big mouthful into his mouth.

A reporter happened to come in and was shocked.

Is Camignani's condition already that serious?

Do you take the Jiuxin Pills by the bottle?
Camignani nodded to the other party and went out to watch the second half of the game.

Since he coached the Italian national team, his heart disease has improved a lot. After all, he just slept with his eyes open in the first half, took note of He Tianqi's analysis at halftime, and won the victory in the second half.

If you coach a few more games, you may even gain weight.

What he took was not a heart-saving pill, it was just the bottle that contained the heart-saving pill.

It's filled with Monkey King's appetizer pills.

The scene where he took medicine and shouted into the mic on the court just now was also arranged by He Tianqi. It was a little trick for live broadcasting, focusing on a sense of reality.

If online shopping hadn’t been around, Old Cami would have even shouted, “I went to the wrong link? I lose money on every order I sell? It’s just a mistake. What’s wrong with giving my family some benefits? At this price, I’ll place another 200 orders for my family!”

……

Fifteen minutes is clearly a fixed time.

But fans who watched the game said they had never seen such a long and meaningful halftime break.

When both sides entered the stadium from the player tunnel, everyone's eyes were focused on He Tianqi's hands.

A bottle of champagne from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
AC Milan players didn't know what happened in these fifteen minutes.

Ancelotti received a notice from his assistant coach.

To be honest, it's shocking!

Although he didn't think Palermo could cause any trouble, he still chose to suppress the news to avoid affecting the players' performance.

"The players from both teams returned to the court. Oh! We can see that He Tianqi placed a bottle of champagne on his seat."

"This represents Palermo's belief in victory!"

"Maybe they didn't open the champagne at halftime, but why couldn't Palermo celebrate at the end of the game?"

"I have repeatedly stressed that the most important thing in sports competition is the invincible belief! Why does Kobe attract so many fans? Why is Ronaldo so charming? Because they all have a determined look in their eyes!"

"At this moment, He Tianqi is not only a head coach, he is also the last emperor and the last pope! He leads the Palermo players to defend their honor with the determination to die!"

“Come on Palermo!”

The commentators were all excited.

The camera repeatedly shows the brand logo of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Stadium staff originally wanted to take the champagne away because the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse did not pay any sponsorship fees for the Champions League.

But in the current situation, it is difficult to go against public opinion.

If you take this bottle of champagne, aren't you blowing a dirty whistle?

Isn't it just that you don't want Palermo to win?
One of the most successful commercial advertising cases in history has surfaced.

After a whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Palermo was full of fighting spirit and launched a high-pressure attack.

Ancelotti had anticipated this and arranged a defensive tactic, saying that if the team could survive the first fifteen minutes and wait for Palermo's attack to slow down, they would look for an opportunity to counterattack.

Isn’t Palermo a famous tragedy-causing team?

Then let them be tortured once.

After all, there has never been a nameless final since ancient times, and the number of goals scored is usually less than three.

If AC Milan can achieve all five goals, then this will be the most classic Champions League final in twenty years!
He Tianqi: Is it possible that you won’t score a goal next time, and this will be the most classic Champions League final?
In the 49th minute, Modric attempted a super long shot from more than 35 meters away from the goal.

The football was not controlled well and went slightly over the crossbar.

But the quality was extremely high, which made Milan fans sweat.

In the 51st minute, Milan made a mistake in the backcourt and Ribery took the opportunity to get the ball, but was pulled down by Stam when he turned his backhand.

The position of this free kick was very good, but unfortunately Ribery's direct free kick was saved by Dida.

The ball went over the wall, but the angle wasn't sharp enough.

In the 54th minute, Ribery dribbled the ball inside and passed it to Modric, who passed it diagonally to the left.

Grosso received the ball and made a cross.

But Cafu flew to block the ball and completed the block.

The ball bounced back to Grosso's feet and he crossed again.

After Ribery passed the ball, he was entangled by Seedorf, but at this time Modric slipped past them.

Just in time for Grosso's second cross.

boom!
In the penalty area filled with giants like Nesta, Stam, Toni, Toure and others, the 1.74-meter-tall Modric headed the ball into the goal.

Afraid of missing out, he even leaped forward, launching himself like a missile and making a diving header.

Modric stared at the football, wanting to see the result.

But the next moment, he fell to the ground and his head hit the grass.

After getting up, his face was covered with grass and mud, and he couldn't see anything clearly, just like a black person.

But the next moment, he felt a huge sound wave impact.

If you don't shake, you will be knocked to the ground.

"Luka... Modric!"

"GOALLLLL!"

"A super header! Modric made a great contribution!"

"In the first half, he was beaten like a sieve by Kaka and was the biggest culprit for Palermo's three-goal deficit! But in the second half, he took on the responsibility of the offensive core and scored a goal!"

"This is a player that is difficult to evaluate rationally."

"But as Modric himself said, as long as his leader He Tianqi needs it, he will find a way to score a goal! If he can't score, he will steal it even if he has to!"

"One to three! Palermo scored a goal!"

"He Tianqi excitedly threw three punches in a row! This is his unique celebration move!"

“Oh oh oh! Also, the players of Palermo rushed towards He Tianqi. They jumped high together and turned 180 degrees, like gods descending to earth!”

"This celebration is called Siu! If you don't know this move, or think it's too arrogant and unconvinced, then you will be like Palermo and will never accept Siu!"

For a moment, the triple buffs of [Farmer's Three Punches], [Siuuuuuu], and [King of Italy] were superimposed.

Palermo players jumped higher when they celebrated.

"Seize the opportunity, launch pressing, and continue attacking!" He Tianqi gave a twelve-word battle strategy and then asked everyone to return to their positions quickly.

AC Milan then kicked off and the game resumed.

AC Milan players passed the ball backcourt, trying to steady the tempo.

But Palermo fought hard for the ball and Dida had to kick the ball away.

Grosso rushed to the center line and won the first point.

Modric and Seedorf competed for the second landing point, and finally Modric took the initiative to kick the ball towards Seedorf and it went out of bounds.

Palermo got a throw-in close to midfield.

Grosso threw the ball out from the sideline, Ribery received the ball and pretended to cut inside, then flicked the ball to the bottom line.

Cafu kept adjusting his center of gravity to catch up, but Ribery suddenly made another [Matthews fake move] and successfully cut inside.

Italy's chain defense was activated and Seedorf came to make up for the defense as soon as possible.

Ribery didn't waste any time and passed the ball directly back to Modric.

Modric raised his foot to face the ball and made a shooting motion from more than 32 meters away from the goal.

Pirlo tried to block it, but it was just a feint.

Modric was full of drama, faking a shot and then actually breaking through, and only after passing Pirlo did he actually raise his foot.

Nesta quickly moved over, put his hands behind his back and stretched his legs to block.

As a result, Modric took the ball lightly and knocked it to the right.

boom!
Yaya Toure fired a shot.

He has gained weight this season and has made qualitative changes in strength and confrontation.

Combined with [Basic Long Shot], [All-Around Midfielder] and celebration bonus, with no one defending, this is simply a long-shot practice.

The football turned into a streak of white lightning and went straight into the net.

Dida tried his best and touched the ball, but he couldn't change the direction of the ball at all.

"GOAL! Two to three!"

"what's the situation?"

"Palermo scored two goals in three minutes!"

"They suddenly gained momentum!"

"AC Milan has been a bit slack!"

"But it must be said that Palermo's players can really take on the responsibility."

"It's such an important game, the team is so far behind, but Ribery and Modric still have the leisure to make consecutive fake moves."

"Two people shook the camera away three times!"

"In the end, Yaya Toure killed him with one kick! This is also the characteristic of Palermo. All their players in the midfield and frontcourt are capable of shooting."

"The only players in their team who haven't scored a goal this season are goalkeepers Handanovic and Foster. The rest, whether they are centre-backs, full-backs or defensive midfielders, have scored!"

"Their biggest feature in the Champions League is their explosive attack!"

"AC Milan is in danger! They are now only one goal ahead of Palermo!"

Palermo jumped high again, the whole team was shocked!

On the sidelines, Ancelotti could no longer sit still.

Is Palermo mistaken?
We are not Bayern, and you are not the Red Devils!

Why two goals in three minutes?

"Gattuso, change positions, you and Seedorf change positions! Keep a close eye on that Croatian Gargamel!" Ancelotti was furious, even angry.

Then he reprimanded Seedorf, who he thought put too much energy into the offensive end.

In the next few minutes, Palermo quickly seized the ball and launched continuous attacks.

It was almost a continuous attack, besieging AC Milan.

The key is that they are strong but not in a hurry.

The beating was so fine.

He would rather not take any chances than give Milan a chance to counterattack.

The two sides entered into a competition of resilience.

Palermo's offensive resilience VS AC Milan's defensive resilience.

Every second is so tormenting for both parties!

In the 58th minute, Zaccardo moved forward and became the right midfielder.

Toure headed the ball into the penalty area.

Eduardo moved to the right side of the penalty area and prepared to receive the ball and cross it.

Modric passed the ball back to Zaccardo.

After Zaccardo passed the ball to Chiellini, he quietly moved forward along the right rib.

Since he often appeared at right back and at most played as defensive midfielder, and never went forward, everyone ignored him.

This "ignore" partly means not seeing or not paying attention.

The other part saw it, but thought they shouldn’t defend it because their teammates would defend it.

result……

Thinking so, Zaccardo went straight to the key position on the right rib without any obstruction.

Chiellini made a straight pass.

Zaccardo received the ball on the right flank, which scared the Milan players and broke up their defensive formation.

Nesta rushed out to steal the ball.

Zaccardo made the first diagonal pass to Tony.

Toni and Stam had a fierce confrontation, with loud bangs.

Finally, he turned his back to the goal, used his knee to block Stam, and got into position to receive the ball.

Not that he is stronger than Stam.

It’s because it’s impossible for the big guard to get in front of Tony to catch the ball at this time.

Otherwise it would be like letting others pass.

As long as you stand behind the striker, the striker will lean against you and stretch his legs, he will definitely touch the ball first.

Therefore, mature central defenders wait for the opponent to receive the ball, apply pressure when the ball is stopped, or prepare for the subsequent defense.

A defensively aggressive central defender likes to go around the front or half-slide to disrupt the opponent's football and prevent them from getting the ball.

Vidic, Nesta and Stam all have the former style.

Barzagli, Pepe, Ramos and others belong to the latter.

But Stam didn't expect that Toni didn't catch the ball.

Instead, the football slipped through.

On the left side of the penalty area, Ribery was entangled with AC Milan players again.

Modric took the opportunity to rush out and enter the penalty area.

Gattuso immediately abandoned Ribery and chased after Modric.

"Modric is in!"

"Gattuso pushed Modric from behind."

"Modric fell!"

"What do you mean... a penalty! The referee awarded a penalty!"

"Oh my God! Is Palermo really going to tie the game?"

"Gattuso got a yellow card, which is not a big problem. But Gattuso complained that he thought Modric was diving, just like he did in the first half."

"Oh, Modric is very smart. After entering the penalty area, he deliberately moved to the right to block Gattuso's overtaking route. And he slowed down a bit, waiting for Gattuso to push him."

"Gattuso finally pushed it."

"Many times, the players reacted to being pushed and then fell down. There was a gap, which didn't look smooth and natural."

"But Modric is someone who has already made up his mind to create a penalty. His reaction is very quick. If you touch me, I will fall to the ground. This is definitely a top-notch foul technique."

"Sure enough, the referee insisted on the penalty call. Regardless of whether Modric deliberately created the penalty or not, Gattuso was too reckless."

In fact, just now only Modric reached the threatening area. After he dribbled the ball and adjusted his steps, the shooting angle would be quite small. Given Dida's condition today, it would be impossible for him to miss the shot.

So Modric immediately made the decision to create a penalty.

A five-point chance was turned into a seven-point chance. After all, their Ba Ying was no worse than La Ying.

If Gattuso had been more patient, Modric would have at best created a corner kick.

But is Gattuso, who has become more patient, still Gattuso?
Then Ribery came to the penalty spot.

At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are on Scarlett.

He recalled the scene of his first loss, and also remembered the words that He Tianqi used to comfort him at that time.

He is no longer afraid of penalties.

No matter how many years pass, he will always dare to step onto the 12-yard line and deliver the fatal shot.

boom!
Dida judged the direction correctly. He bet that Ribery would not use a small jump step to take the penalty, which was no longer a trick.

And indeed it is.

Dida's save was very quick.

However, Ribery was skilled and bold, and chose the most difficult way of kicking the ball, hitting the blind spot above the goal.

The quality is very high!
"GOAL!!!!"

"Ribery! Ribery scored a penalty kick!"

"It's a very high quality penalty, it's impossible to save!"

"3-3! Palermo equalized the score!"

"A miracle! This is definitely a miracle!"

"There has never been a precedent in the history of the Champions League final where a team led by three goals in the first half but ended up losing the game!"

“Is Palermo going to create another miracle?”

"No, it's not a miracle, it's a myth! We are witnessing a myth!"

"Six minutes! It only took Palermo six minutes to go from 0-3 to 3-3!"

"Who would have thought that AC Milan fans just took a nap and the score was tied!"

"Ancelotti must make adjustments. AC Milan has been beaten by Palermo without any chance of fighting back!"

Palermo jumped high for the third time in the game.

AC Milan's players finally couldn't sit still anymore.

They urged Palermo to kick off as soon as possible.

But Guardiola noticed that AC Milan players sweated much more than Palermo players.

Maybe Palermo's players will have to play until the 70th minute to reach this state.

Milan players' physical fitness cannot be worse than Palermo's. At this stage, their players still have to be ahead of most of Palermo's players in all aspects.

This phenomenon can only be associated with the madness with which they celebrated their previous league title.

A hangover, seemingly nothing happened, but the "battery health" of Milan players has been affected.

You can only blame Apple for its crappy batteries.

Ancelotti: Shouldn’t we blame He Tianqi for this Dogecoin?

In the 61st minute, AC Milan attempted a fatal kick after kicking off.

Crespo created a free kick in the frontcourt.

It was obvious that AC Milan's patience was running out and their attack was very simple.

Pirlo took a tactical free kick and accurately found Shevchenko.

Ukraine's nuclear warhead's header was saved, Chiellini's clearance missed, and Seedorf's shot from outside the box flew into the stands, missing a good opportunity.

After this attack, AC Milan's offensive began to recover.

In the 69th minute, Kakara moved to the left, rushed out at high speed and made a cross pass.

But Handanovic got out of the goal first and caught the ball.

Crespo stretched his legs almost at the same time.

Handanovic was disturbed and the ball bounced away. Shevchenko made a follow-up shot into the empty goal, but Vidic cleared the ball with his foot in front of the goal.

The referee then blew the whistle, indicating that Crespo had just collided with the goalkeeper and Palermo took a goal kick.

On the sidelines, He Tianqi signaled Palermo's players to move back a little.

The effect of [Siuuuuu] has worn off.

The players' physical strength is about to run out, and it is easy for them to reveal their flaws at this time.

Fortunately, Milan also had the problem of lack of physical strength.

Their passing and receiving began to fail.

The number of threatening attacks has decreased.

In the 78th minute, Kaka successfully connected with Shevchenko.

Shevchenko also demonstrated his Ballon d'Or-worthy ability, dribbling in the frontcourt, passing three players, and then passing the ball to Crespo.

Crespo made a reverse triangle pass.

Kaka breaks into the penalty area.

boom!
Carragher was facing Kaka, he fell to the ground and tackled the ball away.

Kaka was then tripped by Carragher.

Milan immediately surrounded the referee and asked for a penalty.

But the referee crossed his hands, indicating that there was no penalty.

Carragher's defense was beautiful and he touched the ball first.

He Tianqi ignored Milan's dissatisfaction, but called Mascherano over and replaced Chiellini.

Chiellini can be said to have been completely defeated by the "Pickup Connection" today.

He doesn't have enough physical strength now. He just missed the ball when he tried to clear it. It is not suitable for him to stay on the field.

We have to replace him with a fully charged defensive midfielder to continue marking Kaka.

Milan's advancement, especially the threatening attacks and counterattacks, was basically completed by Pirlo finding Kaka and then Kaka.

Pirlo's pass is unstoppable.

But the card with low battery can be restricted.

In the 81st minute, Palermo finally had a chance to counterattack.

Unfortunately, Eduardo was completely frozen by Maldini, and eventually took the ball out of the baseline, without even getting a corner kick.

Maldini beats Inzaghi every day, but can’t he beat a “little Inzaghi” like you?
He Tianqi then used his second substitution.

Van Persie comes on as a substitute for Eduardo.

In the 85th minute, Ancelotti saw the situation and thought the team would most likely go into overtime.

So Serginho replaced Seedorf.

Crespo was replaced by Thomason.

They are all positional substitutions, very thoughtful.

One was to try to steal a goal in the last few minutes of regular time and end the game.

Second, after entering overtime, Thomason has sufficient physical strength and can pose a greater threat.

But after this substitution, Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief.

Because through He Tianqi's advanced data interpretation method, he found that Crespo and Kaka were the players with the highest contribution value on the AC Milan side.

It’s not that Shevchenko and Pirlo didn’t perform well enough, but that Crespo and Kaka were too good.

Of course, Crespo's performance was also due to the fact that Shevchenko attracted a lot of defensive pressure.

In short, this kind of player should not be replaced.

But there is no way. Although Crespo is also a superstar, he is not big enough in Milan, so you will be replaced.

No one thought there was anything wrong with the substitution.

He Tianqi can be substituted. He thinks the best option is not to replace Crespo and Shevchenko.

If there is a real need for a change, it would be Shevchenko, not Crespo.

The Argentine striker was loaned from Chelsea this season and did not perform well at the beginning.

But after entering the winter, he completed the running-in and often scored twice.

He is called the Winter God of War by fans.

In the second half of the season, the team played better and better in the Champions League.

This game reached the best state of the season, which was quite amazing.

No matter how you look at it, it's not worth replacing him.

Those who think that he is already thirty years old, physically exhausted, too old, and unable to last in overtime ignore the fact that Shevchenko is actually twenty-nine years old.

Even in this era, not all top strikers are sentenced to death once they reach the age of thirty.

Those who are in good shape before the age of 30 will still be in great shape after the age of 30, as long as they don’t have serious injuries.

A steep decline will only occur after a serious injury.

In the 88th minute, Pirlo took a corner kick with an amazing arc.

Stam and Vidic jumped up at the same time.

Stam shot at the goal, but the ball immediately bounced off Vidic's head and eventually went out of bounds.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Pirlo made another surgical pass.

Kaka received the ball, flicked it, and ate it quickly, the same old routine.

But it works.

however……

boom!
Mascherano made a decisive tackle and retained the ball, completing the steal directly.

Kaka was tripped and Shevchenko raised his hands to express his dissatisfaction.

But the referee was unmoved.

There was nothing wrong with Mascherano's defense.

"Kaka's dribbling is very unique. The ball goes very fast and far at the beginning, but slows down or even turns back at the end, so it won't roll far and is always under control."

"He has great strides and strong control. When you think you can steal the ball, you often lose the chance to steal it."

"So if you want to steal the ball from him, you can't hesitate and you have to kick the ball as soon as he kicks it out. Don't worry about fouling because the ball is out of his control at that time."

"It was especially evident when his fitness declined."

Mascherano memorized He Tianqi's pre-match arrangements. Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared.

boom!
He made a long pass and launched a counterattack!

Valencia jumped up directly from the bench.

Is today the day when their South American sect will become famous?
beep!beep!

The referee blew the whistle, ending the second half.

The game is about to enter overtime.

The Palermo bench exploded instantly.

He Tianqi rushed to the sidelines and yelled, "How could it be blown off? You should have waited until I finished this counterattack! How can this end? This is not in accordance with convention!"

The fourth referee said that the extra time was up and it was normal to stop the game.

Of course, what He Tianqi said is also very common.

This is the room for the referee to maneuver.

Among all kinds of spinach, a tie is a very popular choice.

In today's game, normal people would bet on Milan to win.

Palermo diehards bet on Palermo to win.

But no fool would buy a tie.

What’s the point of being neither rational nor pious?
"Three to three! The two sides are tied!"

"Who would have thought that the game would go into overtime!"

"This is also the second time in a row that AC Milan has entered extra time in the Champions League final."

"The last time they played against Juventus, the game ended in a tie in extra time, and Milan won on penalties."

“Will it go to a penalty shootout this time?”

"Oh! He Tianqi received a yellow card for protesting the referee's decision. He then gathered the Palermo players in a circle... and Milan did the same."

"Ancelotti is boosting morale. There is basically no strategy to talk about at this time. It all depends on the players' willpower. Huh?"

In the camera, compared to Ancelotti who had no evidence, He Tianqi was actually writing and drawing on the tactical whiteboard.

Who says there is no strategy?

"Van Persie, use your offensive power to suppress Maldini and prevent them from launching any offensive attack."

"Toure, keep running and make sure to pull Gattuso away."

"Modric, attack Pirlo. Without protection, he is a soft commodity. You did well today, but you can do better!"

"Mascherano, stay close to Kaka, but if he leaves the attacking midfielder position, don't follow him too far. Pay attention to your own defensive position, you are the barrier in front of our defense line."

Soon, overtime began.

Palermo's physical advantage gradually emerged at this time.

In the 93rd minute, Toni retreated, Modric moved forward, Ribery passed the ball to Toni, and the latter shot.

But Stam made the block.

However, Tony also activated the [All-Round Striker] special effect, which doubles the amplification if five shots fail to score.

Tony had few chances to score today, but good things come to those who wait.

Toni was promoted, the 33-year-old Stam was not physically fit, with the rise and fall of one and the decline of the other, Toni began to gradually gain the advantage in the frontcourt.

In the 96th minute, He Tianqi signaled Zaccardo on the sidelines to press forward boldly.

Palermo's backcourt only has Vidic, Carragher and Mascherano.

Zaccardo passed the ball to Van Persie.

Van Persie sped up from the wing, but the ball was blocked by Maldini.

The cavalry was still able to defeat Xiao Fan at this time, showing its great ability.

But Van Persie used his abundant physical strength to chase the ball back, still kept the ball, and passed it back to Toure.

Toure passed the ball to Modric.

Modric made a direct breakthrough after receiving the ball.

Pirlo reached out to pull, but Modric slapped it away with his backhand.

The two had physical contact.

Pirlo collapsed at the first touch.

Modric completed the breakthrough.

Croatian hottie, you can’t see his six-pack abs!

At critical moments, Modric's core confrontation is not bad, especially compared with players of the same height.

boom!
Stam strikes!
Modric was knocked away instantly.

No matter how powerful a small steel cannon is, it can't stop a big truck.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle and then showed Stam a yellow card.

"Yellow card? This should be a red card!" He Tianqi continued to complain, pointing at the penalty spot, "Penalty! This is a penalty!"

Palermo players immediately put pressure on the referee.

But AC Milan players came over to protect the referee.

Because the referee's decision was a free kick.

He saw clearly that after being hit, Modric deliberately fell forward.

After landing, he rolled on the ground for a few times.

The match left a deep impression on Neymar da Silva, a 13-year-old Brazilian player who watched it.

Roll well!
natural!

grace!

Also practical!
I will also roll like this in the future!

Modric and Van Persie stood behind the football. He feinted and Van Persie took the free kick directly into the goal.

The football hit the crossbar and flew into the stands.

too close!
If this free kick was one meter further, Van Persie's kick would definitely have killed the game.

In the 101st minute, Nesta intercepted Toure's through pass to Toni, and made a long pass to Serginho on the left to launch a counterattack.

After two dribbling steps, Serginho made a long pass into the penalty area to the back post.

Carragher was responsible for marking Thomason, but he found that he might not be able to stop the ball.

"Jump! If you don't jump, you'll be dead!" He Tianqi shouted from the side. He also noticed Carragher's situation.

Thomason's positioning was still very impressive, as he seized the loopholes in Palermo's defense when they were out of position.

Carragher jumped up.

Then the top collapsed.

This was a mistake that had to happen.

But Carragher also blocked Thomason's view.

boom!
Thomason flew up and shot, but misjudged the landing point and shot the ball into the stands when the goal was almost empty.

It looked more like a clearance.

"Oh! Thomason didn't take advantage of his chance."

"If it was Inzaghi or Eduardo from Palermo, this goal would have been possible. Thomason, the Danish Inzaghi, is still a little lacking in quality."

"Of course, if Crespo had not been substituted, he would have been fully capable of scoring this goal in other ways! In short, what a pity! AC Milan missed the opportunity to kill the game!"

Then, the first half of overtime ended.

Both sides took a short break.

In principle, there is no halftime break in overtime, but the referee will give one or two minutes.

After all, they have been playing for such a long time that the players on both sides are almost exhausted. If they are not given time to rest, accidents will easily happen.

The two sides then exchanged fire again.

Palermo has a greater advantage in ball possession.

In the 108th minute, Tony retreated out of the penalty area.

Stam chased after him.

After Tony received the ball with his back to the basket, Tieshan leaned against Stam and took the opportunity to complete the turn.

Stam was no longer as relaxed as he was at the beginning. His center of gravity swayed slightly backwards, but he still adjusted quickly and stretched his foot to try to steal the ball.

If Toni turned around and passed the ball immediately, Stam would have intercepted it.

This is the experience of top defenders.

Stam may be the player Ferguson regrets letting go the most, not just because he is a big guy.

However, Toni was in very good condition. After turning around, he pulled the ball backwards to avoid Stam's attempt to steal the ball, and then he passed the ball through the crotch.

Stam could only risk a foul and use both hands to block Toni.

Van Persie moved like a rabbit in the penalty area and rushed towards the football.

Dida also attacked decisively.

In the end, Dida got the football first.

And Van Persie kicked Dida.

Fortunately, he retracted his legs, so the referee only showed a yellow card.

Otherwise it will be troublesome if it gets dyed red.

AC Milan players surrounded the referee and tried to get Van Persie off the field.

Toni also complained, thinking Stam should have received another yellow card and then been sent off.

The referees all refused.

Overall, the referee's overall level of refereeing is very high.

There are almost no flaws except that Palermo was not allowed to complete the last attack in regular time and fulfill the task assigned by the host.

No wonder he can host such an important competition.

After simple treatment, Dida continued to stay on the field.

In the 112th minute, Milan used its last substitution.

Rui Costa replaces Gattuso.

This means don't defend, just attack.

As a strong team, they would definitely prefer to end the battle before the penalty shootout.

Because once the penalty shootout begins, the odds are evenly split and the strong team will have no advantage.

Milan also regained some ball possession because of this adjustment.

In the 117th minute, Rui Costa made an immediate impact.

He looked for Serginho on the wing, who then made a long pass.

Shevchenko's header was saved by Handanovic.

He immediately made a close-range shot.

But the ball hit Handanovic who was lying on the ground and bounced off.

Milan gets a corner kick!

Shevchenko held his head.

This was the closest Milan had ever been to a goal since the first half.

The opponent's goalkeeper has fallen to the ground, how can the goal not be scored?

The regret of this goal can be compared to the one-on-one opportunity missed by Mouani of the French team in the last moments of the 2022 World Cup final. Moreover, this ball was much closer, just a stone's throw away from the goal, and the goalkeeper also lost his ability to defend.

All we can say is that Shevchenko wanted to end the game too much. It was normal for Thomason to take this shot, and even for Crespo to take it, but it was really inappropriate for him to take it.

After all, he is the Golden Globe winner!
On the Palermo side, He Tianqi immediately asked for a substitution.

Valencia replaced the exhausted Zaccardo.

Serginho sent two threatening balls from a position just in front of the center line, but this was because Zacardo's defensive position was too far back.

The reason why he was behind was because he had problems with his physical fitness and could not come back once he went up.

Pirlo then took a corner kick.

But Tony headed the ball out of the bottom line.

Milan's second corner.

At this time, the time has come to 119 minutes.

Pirlo took another corner kick.

It was Tony again, with his strength and courage, who headed the ball to the side.

Pirlo immediately rushed over and tried to control the ball.

But the next moment, a black hurricane blew past him.

When I looked again, the football was gone.

"Valencia! Valencia, who came on as a substitute, stole the ball! He is so fast!"

"Counterattack, Palermo counterattacks!"

"Oh my god! Valencia is so fast!"

"Let me tell you a little-known fact: the fastest instantaneous speed of a player in Serie A and the Champions League this season was set by this young Palermo player Valencia!"

"And now, he has broken his own fastest speed in the Champions League! It has reached 35.1 km/h!"

"Kaka, Kaka takes a shortcut and approaches Valencia."

"Tackle! Valencia falls to the ground!"

"This is a red card! And it's a tactical foul at such a critical moment!"

"How will the referee decide?"

"Yellow card? The referee only showed a yellow card!"

"The Palermo players were very dissatisfied. Modric immediately rushed towards Kaka and pushed him!"

“More players are coming.”

He Tianqi kept calling Modric's name on the sidelines, which helped to control the situation.

"Play to your strengths! Calm down! Calm down!" He Tianqi reminded Modric to stay calm.

But Modric got it wrong.

Play to my strengths and use my brain?

What is my advantage?
steal?
Looking at the players from both sides who were unhappy with each other, Modric's eyes lit up.

He deliberately moved the football forward a lot.

Before the referee could blow the whistle, Rui Costa kicked the ball back, meaning: "Don't even think about taking advantage of me."

He was still swearing.

"You are so good, why is Kaka the starter?" Modric said, and then deliberately used his eyes to continue to anger Rui Costa.

The two sides almost came into conflict again.

Modric placed the ball and waited for the referee to signal that he could kick off, but suddenly he yelled at Rui Costa who was still chattering: "Who the hell are you yelling at?"

Then he walked towards Rui Costa.

Players from both teams immediately gathered here.

In a short period of time, the third conflict is about to break out.

At this point, everyone is like gunpowder, ready to explode!
But the next moment, Modric took two steps and suddenly turned half way and made a long pass towards the football.

Just as he was about to go to the midfield to fight, oh no… Nesta, who was trying to stop the fight, immediately retreated.

But Van Persie on the right was faster. He sprinted first, stopped the ball, cut inside and pressed Nesta behind him.

Stam, who was near the penalty area, hurried over to provide defensive support.

But he ran over desperately, but Van Persie just [kicked the ball past him with his heel] and completed the pass with him.

"One-on-one! Van Persie and Ribery possessed each other and dribbled past two people!"

"Dida attacks!"

Van Persie and Dida met on a narrow road.

The latter played very well today.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the best goalkeeper in this year's Champions League.

Robin van Persie has never been under so much pressure.

Because he knew that this kick of his would determine the outcome of the Champions League.

Palermo's various tactical teachings came to his mind.

On the sidelines, Guardiola was already kneeling on the ground nervously.

And it’s the X-legged kneeling method.

It’s hard not to feel feminine in this posture, oh no…it’s very masculine, not feminine.

"Don't pass the ball! You have no teammates to catch up! Don't pass the ball! Don't even look at it! Otherwise it will be too late! Just shoot it and take a gamble!" Guardiola covered his jaw with both hands, put his fingers on his mouth, and he felt like he was about to break.

But he thinks the chances of that are slim.

Because Palermo has always taught us to pass the ball as much as possible at times like this to ensure stable goals, rather than taking risks and challenging the goalkeeper.

Even if you want to challenge the goalkeeper, it is best to shoot directly and never carry more.

It feels good to dribble the ball alone, but it might end up in a funeral procession!

The biggest negative example mentioned by He Tianqi is the player named Ronaldo.

C Ronaldo: What's wrong with me?
Ronaldo: Is it possible that he was talking about me?
However, He Tianqi's eyes were very firm.

If it was Eduardo, he would definitely pass the ball, and might even wait for his teammates, and then miss the opportunity.

If it was Modric, he would fake a shot to deceive, and then Dida, who was not fooled, would hug the ball.

If it was Ribery, he would change direction with his right foot and fake a shot with his left foot. But considering that he had to fight with both feet, the change of direction was not big enough, and Dida was likely to destroy the ball.

But this is Van Persie.

Don’t underestimate the fact that his tactical ability has improved by leaps and bounds under He Tianqi’s coaching in one season.

But some things will never change.

For example, Ronaldo’s obsession with victory.

Cesc Fabregas's dream.

And Van Persie's ambition!

boom!
Van Persie changed direction with his left foot.

The shot was very bold, the speed of the ball was very fast and it flew quite far.

When Dida rushed to the side, the football had already passed by.

Van Persie then jumped over Dida.

Dida even pulled off Van Persie's shoes.

But it didn't work.

Van Persie staggered after landing, but adjusted himself immediately, caught up with the football, and kicked the football into the goal with his left foot, which had a hole in the toe of his sock.

Rumble!
There was thunderous cheers from Sicily!
So much so that even Istanbul seemed to hear it.

Of course, Istanbul couldn't hear it. What everyone heard was the cheers from the neutral fans outside the stadium.

The next moment, pink is boiling!

The entire Palermo team rushed towards the corner flag area.

"GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!"

"Van Persie! A goal of gold!"

"This is very likely to be a killer shot!"

"At the beginning of this season, when everyone thought that He Tianqi was irrational for falling out with Arsenal's Wenger over Robin van Persie, who would have thought that this player could play such a key role in Palermo!"

"Champions League final! Coming off the bench! Scoring the winning goal in the last minute of extra time!"

“Nothing could be more commendable!”

"Even if Dida took off his shooting boots, he couldn't stop scoring!"

"Remember his name, Robin van Persie!"

"Looking back at the chance Shevchenko wasted, I realized what AC Milan missed!"

Siuuuuu!

There are not many players on Palermo's side who have the energy to jump up.

But even if you have to siu on the spot, you have to siu.

After He Tianqi made this move, his legs softened and he fell to the ground. As a coach, this game consumed a lot of energy for him, and the key was that the pressure was too great.

Van Persie was the first to rush over.

The rest of the players followed suit, one on top of the other.

"4-3! Palermo reverses AC Milan!"

"Milan players are complaining that Modric's free kick was illegal."

"But the referee didn't think so. Modric's behavior was completely in line with the rules. After the referee indicated that the free kick could be taken, he did not make any other instructions."

"Ancelotti was so emotional that he even rushed into the field and exchanged insults with the referee."

"Red card! Ancelotti was sent off with a red card!"

"Dida also got a yellow card for taking off Van Persie's shoes!"

"The Milanese have ushered in the most painful moment of this century!"

"Van Persie's one-on-one shot was flawless and there was nothing wrong with it. But Modric's pass is bound to become the key to everyone's discussion after the game."

"This isn't the first time he's done something like this."

"He stole the Champions League from AC Milan!"

"When a goose passes by, its feathers are plucked; when a beast passes by, its skin is left alone."

"Steal the sky, steal the earth, steal the air!"

"It stole the Rossoneri's efforts over the past year or even two years!"

"Ancelotti, who has poured so much effort into this project, is furious!"

"Nesta, Kaka, Pirlo and Maldini cried secretly!"

"If the thief had a name, I would call him Modric!"

"If thieves are classified into different levels, Modric is the greatest thief of time! Because there is nothing he can't steal!"

Single bet times seven!
The camera swept across the stands, with people crying, laughing, going crazy and making noises, just like a living picture of all living things.

At this moment, the blond, thin, number 10 player Modric, who had finished celebrating and was wearing the Palermo captain's armband, was in high spirits.

I believe that from now on, if you mention his name in Milan, the eyes of the people will be full of awe!
It was not until this moment that Guardiola understood why He Tianqi would always support Modric at all costs.

Because a stolen championship is still a championship!

Modric: …

Guardiola also understood why He Tianqi wanted to tame Van Persie, but not completely; he wanted him to work hard on practicing tactics, but did not demand too much of him for his unreasonable playing style during rotation.

Because the ingredients are of the highest quality, some of their original flavor must be retained.

If a wild horse is not fierce, a sword has no edge, and an assassin has no thorn, if young people do not dream of being heroes, and old people do not practice the art of immortality, then they are just A, B, C, and D among the countless living beings.

How can there be any excitement in living the same old life?

Unfortunately, it is easier said than done. Guardiola still needs a lot of effort to achieve this.

Buying Haaland is just the first step. The real test is to tailor a non-possessing offensive tactic for the Magic, integrate it into Manchester City's inherent tactics, and control the proportions.

When the game resumed, it was already the 122nd minute.

The extra time given previously was one minute.

But the game will go on.

The referee might give Milan another minute or two.

In the 124th minute, Milan made continuous passes after kicking off.

Rui Costa dribbled past Toure and made a long shot, creating a corner kick.

This was almost the last attack of the game.

Milan pressed forward with all its players.

Even Dida came up.

If miracles have names, Palermo could be it, and so could Milan!
boom!
Pirlo takes a corner kick.

Milan players were all paying attention to the brave Toni, but ignored that Vidic is also an aerial master, even more so!

boom!
Vidic headed the ball clear and headed it towards the outside of the penalty area.

Valencia once again rushed towards the football, ran with the football, and instantly left behind Kaka, who was famous for his dribbling speed.

Ecuadorian supercar, ready to take off!
But the next moment, He Tianqi's curse came: "Fuck you! Shoot directly! Shoot directly!"

Valencia: If you put it that way, I understand.

boom!
Valencia kicked the ball out from the backcourt.

The referee held the whistle in his mouth but did not blow it.

At the end of the regular game, he did not allow Palermo to complete their last attack, and the whistle made many people dissatisfied.

As a high-level referee, he will not make the same mistake twice. If he does, it means that he is following instructions from above.

There are no instructions on it now, so...

Three seconds later, the whole audience exploded again!
"GOAL!"

"Five to three! Valencia scored with a super lob from the backcourt!"

"This young substitute has performed so well since he came on the field!"

"Don't forget that Van Persie's goal came from Modric's free kick, and Modric's free kick was created by Valencia's high-speed counterattack!"

"This overhead kick demonstrates Valencia's twenty years of shooting skills! It also completely kills all hopes of AC Milan!"

"During the halftime break, AC Milan opened five bottles of champagne to celebrate! After that, Palermo scored five goals in a row to reverse the situation!"

"This is revenge from Sicily and the fate of AC Milan!"

"The referee signaled that the goal was valid, and then blew the whistle to end the game!"

“Congratulations Palermo!”

"I take back my congratulations to AC Milan at halftime because Palermo is the final winner!"

"He is the champion of the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League!"

[PS: European Cup Peach Buying Guide, Switzerland beat Hungary by a narrow margin. Croatia beat Spain 3-1, Modric scored a goal and assisted. Italy beat Albania 4-1, Chiesa scored]
