Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Chapter 365: Pendulum Passing and Goal

"3:2, Lin Feng's goal helped Inter Milan take the lead again!"

"Inter Milan is only ten minutes away from winning the third Champions League trophy in team history!"

"And Lin Feng, who scored this goal, became the fourth player to complete a hat trick in the Champions League final after Puskas, Di Stefano and Prati!"

"After adding the three goals in this game, Lin Feng's total number of goals in the Champions League this season has reached a terrifying 16 goals, greatly breaking his own record for goals scored in a single season in the Champions League!"

"It's hard to imagine that he is just a young man who just turned 19!"

“It is really exciting to see what heights he can reach in the future!”

……

After Lin Feng completed his hat trick, commentators from various countries turned into Lin fans, wishing they could blow him up to the sky.

As experienced commentators, what kind of scenes have they not seen?
But they had never seen such a scene before!
In the entire football world, there are many 19-year-old team core players.

But no one has ever seen a player who can lead the team to the Champions League final, complete a hat trick, and even lead the team to win the championship at the age of 19, let alone them!
The last person who came close to achieving this achievement was the alien Ronaldo, but at that time Ronaldo had neither the Champions League nor the League championship, only one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup championship, which was far less valuable than Lin Feng's Champions League + League double championship!

So as long as Lin Feng can lead the team to win this game, he will be able to surpass Ronaldo!
The alien was on the court at this moment, looking at Lin Feng with a complicated expression as he was celebrating with his teammates.

He felt the exuberant vigor and energy from the other person, which reminded him of his own glorious past.

Daluo looked down at his fat belly and couldn't help but sigh.

He is no longer as charming as he was back then.

Time is like a butcher's knife!
……

Kaka just glanced at Lin Feng, then turned his head away stubbornly and encouraged his teammates loudly, trying to arouse their fighting spirit and tell them not to give up.

The game is not over yet, anything is possible!
"Quick, tell Stankovic to retreat to the defensive midfielder position, we will change to a three-defensive midfielder system!"

Mancini especially cherished this hard-earned lead, so when everyone around him was busy celebrating, he grabbed captain Zanetti and solemnly told him:
"Tell the players not to be careless. The game is not over yet, and they should never relax until the final whistle blows!"

Zanetti nodded heavily. At this moment, he felt no more relaxed than Mancini.

He has been with the team for 12 years and has worn the captain's armband for eight years. This is the first time he has reached the Champions League final with the team and the first time he has been so close to the Champions League trophy!

Zanetti is already 34 years old. At his age, he probably won’t have the chance to reach the Champions League final again, so he cherishes this opportunity!
Even if Mancini didn't say it, he would be extremely vigilant.

After returning to the field, Zanetti immediately conveyed the coach's instructions.

Although the players were still a little unsatisfied, they wanted to continue attacking.

But they soon calmed down.

The end of the game is not far away, so it is not advisable to take any risks.

Instead of actively attacking, it is better to wait for the opponent to make a mistake and then find an opportunity to counterattack. Perhaps the effect will be better.

Anyway, AC Milan will definitely attack desperately next time!

They guessed right. AC Milan, which was behind in the score, was really going to fight them to the death.

Ancelotti directly used the last two substitutions, replacing the goal scorer Inzaghi with Gilardino, and replacing the left-back Jankulovski who was targeted by the opponent and exhausted with Kaladze.

Unlike Inzaghi, Gilardino has both the physical fitness of a stationary center forward and the keen sense of smell of a striker who can score points, and his abilities are very comprehensive.

His appearance changed AC Milan's offensive style.

If before it was Ronaldo who passed the ball to Kaka and covered Kaka's attack.

Now Ronaldo and Gilardino are covering each other, and they can pass the ball to Kaka or to another striker.

Coupled with the advantage brought by Gilardino's abundant physical strength, Inter Milan's defense became suddenly more difficult.

In the 81st minute, Milan launched a quick attack. Kaka received the ball and turned to break through. Vieira, who was physically exhausted, was verbally warned by the referee Van der Vaart for blocking the foul.

Just one minute later, Kaladze, who came on as a substitute, broke through on the left and passed the ball to the back post. Gilardino unexpectedly grabbed the ball over Materazzi's head and passed it to the alien in front of the goal.

Unfortunately, the alien was not good at heading the ball, and his body shape had changed and he no longer had the speed he once had. After stopping the ball, he could not use his speed to get past the defender, so he could only force a kick.

The shot went over the crossbar due to the interference of the defender, and he lost his balance and fell in the penalty area after completing the shot.

Seeing this scene, the fans sighed:

[Alas, the aliens are really old! ]

[If it was back then, he would have been able to get past the defender with his own strength! ]

[Yes, if he went back to ten years ago, let alone dribbling past the defender, given his habit, he would definitely have dribbled past the goalkeeper as well!]

Although they missed the opportunity again, AC Milan still did not give up.

In the 85th minute, it was Kaladze again who kicked the ball from the left and passed it to the far post.

But this time Materazzi had the upper hand in the header battle with Gilardino and steadily headed the ball out of the baseline.

After more than 80 minutes of high-intensity competition, players from both sides were exhausted.

Normally, Materazzi should have headed the ball outside the penalty area or to the sideline.

However, due to his severely reduced physical strength, he was afraid that his power was not enough and he could not kick the ball out of bounds. He was also afraid that if he kicked the ball out of the penalty area, it would give the opponent a chance for a second attack, so he could only kick the ball out of the baseline.

After completing the header, Materazzi fell to the ground holding his legs.

Woohoo!

Shhh!
There were bursts of boos from the audience. It was AC Milan fans booing Materazzi.

Obviously, they all thought that the other party was deliberately using the tactic of lying on the grass to delay time.

Even the AC Milan players on the field thought so, and some ran over to pull up Materazzi who was lying on the ground.

But in fact, they all wronged Materazzi. This guy was not lying on the grass on purpose to delay time, but he had a leg cramp!

It’s just that his reputation is so bad that even after explaining it to the other party, Milan’s players still didn’t want to believe it.

His teammates quickly ran up to help him stretch his legs, and the team doctor also rushed in with a medicine box to help him relax his muscles.

Mancini also used his substitution quota and replaced Materazzi with Barzagli.

The game continued quickly, but was interrupted again not long after it started. Another player fell to the ground, holding his leg, but this time it was not an Inter player, but an AC Milan player.

At this point, the players on the AC Milan field have already reached their limits.

I am still able to stand now, relying on my willpower to hold on for a long time.

The cramp that Materazzi had just suffered seemed to have sent out some kind of signal, which let out their anger, and many of them could no longer hold on.

At the end of the game, veterans from both teams almost took turns suffering from cramps.

Mancini used his last substitution in the 86th minute, replacing Figo who was unable to continue the game due to cramps. Inter Milan and Milan had used up all three substitutions.

[This match was so brutal, both sides fought to the point of exhaustion! ]

[Alas, Milan finally paid the price for the age of the roster. If their roster could be five years younger, they could have taken advantage of Inter's lack of energy to make a push and maybe evened the score! ]

[What you said, if AC Milan's lineup was really five years younger, would they be pushed to this extent by Inter Milan? ]

If everyone were five years younger, AC Milan's lineup would be the strongest in Europe, no doubt about it!

Just imagine if Maldini, Inzaghi, Nesta, Pirlo, Cafu, Ronaldo and others were five years younger, how terrible that would be!
Although Inter Milan is strong, they are probably still a match for AC Milan at its peak.

Compared with the old players in the team, the young players of both teams and the players who came on as substitutes in the second half were in much better condition.

Both of AC Milan's forwards came on in the second half, and they were still full of energy.

So in the final moments of the game, the threat they posed on the field actually exceeded that of Inter Milan.

In the 87th minute, Kaka successfully counterattacked in the frontcourt. While dribbling the ball at high speed, he found a loophole in Inter Milan's defense and then sent a surgical pass.

Although many people think that passing is Kaka's weakness when comparing Kaka with Lin Feng.

But this does not mean that Kaka can't pass the ball. In fact, his passes are quite threatening and he is definitely an outstanding player among attacking midfielders.

Ronaldo received a pass from Kaka at the front of the penalty area, and he almost subconsciously made a pendulum move.

After seeing the alien's actions, countless fans at the scene and in front of the TV were all perked up and looked nervously towards Inter Milan's penalty area.

Although it has not been used for a long time, the pendulum has become a little unfamiliar to me.

But the memory engraved in his bones still allowed him to complete the pendulum move.

Although the completion was a bit bumpy, the effect is very good.

Samuel, who was exhausted, revealed his flaws after the alien's two consecutive large swings and was passed by the opponent.

The alien who broke into the penalty area showed his strength as a top shooter.

After calmly observing the goalkeeper's position and movement, he decisively shot into the far corner.

Cesar was moving to the left and saw Ronaldo shooting. He quickly fell to the ground and tried to save the ball, but it was too late.

Ronaldo's shot was at a tricky angle and full of power, leaving Cesar no chance at all!

The ball hit the inside of the far post at great speed and bounced into the net.

After scoring the goal, Ronaldo raised his hands high, stood in the stands full of AC Milan fans, closed his eyes, and felt the cheers of the fans!

After the alien was sold at a low price by Real Madrid, many people were skeptical about him:
Lian Po is old, can he still have food?
After suffering countless injuries, this alien has become out of shape, bloated, and his speed and explosiveness are no longer as good as before. Can he still gain a foothold in the top giants or even in European football?
These doubts reached a peak after he joined AC Milan but missed most of the season due to injury.

Countless fans, especially AC Milan fans, are questioning and even criticizing Milan's signings.

They feel that their 1500 million euro transfer fee and 600 million euro annual salary were wasted!
When I think about how Inter Milan next door spent 3000 million euros to buy a strong striker like Torres, while they spent 1500 million to buy a glass man.

Milan fans are so furious!
However, at this moment, all the doubts disappeared, and were replaced by cheers and applause!

“GOAL!!!!!”

"Ronaldo! Ronaldo!"

The Brazilian commentator was shouting Ronaldo's name frantically, so excited that he couldn't even speak.

"What a goal!"

"Ronaldo's goal is worth a fortune!"

In the CCTV studio, even though they supported Inter Milan more in their hearts, the two commentators were still deeply moved after seeing Ronaldo's goal:
"When everyone was doubting him, he stepped forward like a savior and saved the team from danger!"

“Let us remember his name, Ronaldo Luis Nazario da Lima!
Tonight's stage belongs not only to young people like Lin Feng and Kaka, but also to veterans like Alien!"

"Veterans don't die, they just fade away!"

At this moment, Milan fans all over the world were shouting the alien's name crazily.

Thank him for stepping up and saving the team when the team needed him most!

[Wow, I am so touched. I never thought that I would be able to see Luo use his signature move again one day! ]

[It's so funny, it was the pendulum that was passing through, but my upper body couldn't move at all! 】

[Although this is the most unstandard pendulum pass I have ever seen, it is the most handsome goal I have ever seen!! ]

Ronaldinho's fans started crying while laughing. The alien who was so powerful on the court and whose dribbling skills made defenders turn pale with fear, now finds it so difficult to use his signature dribbling moves.

Time is really a butcher's knife, destroying the talented player of the past into what he is today.

[It’s a pity that Inter Milan still failed to hold on in the end. It looks like they will have to go into overtime! ]

[This game is too exciting, my heart can't take it! ]

[Alas, can the Champions League trophy be divided into two? I want to see Lin Feng win the championship as a representative of Chinese players, but I also want to see the aliens realize their dreams with my own eyes. It’s so contradictory! ]

[Yes, my Ronaldo is only one Champions League away from perfection. He is so old now. If he misses this opportunity, I don’t know how long he will have to wait for the next one! ]

[That doesn't mean that Lin Feng and his team can give up. It's a pity for the aliens, but isn't it a pity for Lin Feng and his teammates? ]

[Speaking of which, Zanetti and Materazzi are older than the aliens and are almost at retirement age. If they miss this opportunity, they may never have a chance to win the championship again! ]

[So fight hard, each with his own ability, and fight without regrets! ]
