Midfielder.

Chapter 498

Every team, even a humble amateur team, will have its own core, which is an unshakable and indispensable person, and professional teams will never lack such a person.

Lin Yi is the core and soul of Chelsea. Although this kid is not the captain, even Terry has said that if this kid is not on the court, the whole team seems to lose the motivation to win against the opponent.

Returning to the team before the war may not have the best effect, but Lin Yi's ability to play means that Chelsea's soul has returned, and Mourinho has also prepared a lineup that is most suitable for him.

Although there are many good players in the Chelsea team, basically everyone can play the absolute main force in their respective national teams, but everyone knows that Lin Yi is the most suitable candidate to implement Mourinho's tactics.

This time Mourinho's desperate style of play is to completely let go of Lin Yi's offensive ability.

To commemorate the [-]th anniversary of the Champions Cup, the first final finally returned to Paris, where the first final was held. This time, even the French president and dignitaries sat in the grandstand of the Stade de France.

After 240, 120 days, [-] and [-] games, AC Milan and Chelsea, who both scored top two goals and defensive efficiency, finally stood in the center of the final field, waiting for the whistle to blow.

Perhaps Mourinho's trap played a role, or Ancelotti also wanted to complete the revenge battle.

Anyway, this intentional or unintentional arrangement has brought the two teams into a fierce battle from the very beginning. The same offense is paramount, and the same deadly fight without leaving room, no one will back down.

Before the match, there was a performance to commemorate the [-]th anniversary of the Champions Cup. Famous figures such as Beckenbauer and Platini attended the match. However, none of these were the key to attracting broadcast cameras, and the match was the most important.

22 fierce guys, after more than half a year of baptism, finally stood together.

The venue for the final is grand enough, and the capacity of more than 8 people is enough to fill the place with singing songs of confrontation.

When the shouts of each other converged, the only thing left in the center of the venue was the smoke of gunpowder.

It may be a popular trend in the last two decades that there is no good game in the decisive battle. However, in any key match, the scene will appear a little dull. No matter who it is, it may not want to be the first to make a mistake in the final battle.

Chelsea's previous iron wall defense seems to have inoculated everyone early. Many people think that this game is a competition between defense and offense, and the scene is definitely not good.

Maybe a lot of people who have not appeared in their seats at the moment the game starts think so, but they will soon understand that they may have missed the most exciting game in the first decade of this century.

Because the duel between Chelsea and AC Milan has entered a heated stage from the first second.

Chelsea kicked off the ball first, and Lin Yi, who stepped on the football in the arc of the center circle, gave Lampard a flick. When Gilardino stepped forward to interfere, Lampard had already pretended to pass back to the backcourt, and then directly passed the ball to Lin. wing.

Everyone may think that the opening stage will be a tentative attack from both sides, but they forget that Mourinho dared to put up such a formation, and he had no intention of playing Tai Chi push hands with the opponent at all.

Lin Yi received the pass and did not intend to stop and organize an attack. Although he was placed in the midfield by Mourinho this time to sort out the entire team, Mourinho told him to attack whenever he had the opportunity !
Maybe even Gattuso, an old fritter with little attention in the game, might not have thought that after Lin Yi got the ball, he didn't even consider whether there were teammates around him who stepped in to help, so he rushed over by himself. The coherent fake action of dialing a button directly passed Pirlo's attacking mark.

Kaka might be the first to react, he was chasing after him, but just as Gattuso retreated to his position, Lin Yi had already dribbled the ball, and he didn't seem to intend to After passing the ball, he rushed straight to where Gattuso was. The shaking of his upper body was not large, but it was quite confusing. Gattuso, who was already a bit thick, could only hope to bring down the opponent.

Ferocity is Gattuso's label, so when this guy hits hard, few people are spared.

Lin Yi didn't seem to have considered such a problem. When he rushed to Gattuso with the ball, he didn't make too many fake moves. He relied entirely on his short-distance explosive power to forcefully intercept the opponent.

The shovel, Gattuso's frontal block and Kaka's behind-the-scenes press, knocked Lin Yi down five or six meters in front of the penalty area, but Gattuso's outstretched foot did not tackle the ball. Instead, he kicked Lin Yi's shin guard fiercely, and the kid flew into the air with the ball and fell heavily.

"Doo!", it is impossible for the referee not to see such an obvious foul action. Although Gattuso is not the last defender, the referee can show a yellow card for such a level of shoveling.

Less than ten seconds into the game, Ancelotti watched as the referee on duty, the Norwegian Hauge, showed a yellow card to Gattuso, although Gattuso tried to complain to the referee about the foul with his grim expression.

But the Norwegian didn't seem to intend to take back his hand, and he had already verbally warned Gattuso that if he talked nonsense again, he wouldn't mind showing a red card to send this guy off at the beginning of the game!

Pirlo dragged away Gattuso who was still yelling at Lin Yi. In the eyes of that tough guy, Lin Yi was cheating, he was a liar!Just like Mourinho fooled Ancelotti with tricks!
However, everyone could see that his shovel kicked Lin Yi's shin guard fiercely, thanks to the direct kick on the protective gear. If he had kicked his calf, the kid might have been carried off on a stretcher long ago .

All the boos from the England fans in the stands went to Gattuso, and many people even shouted loudly, "You hateful executioner! You fool who only uses fouls to stop others!"

It can be seen that Gattuso's foul on Lin Yi has made many people unhappy. They don't want their mascot to be sent back to the hospital bed by others just after he came out of injury.

Those women's personal guards couldn't wait for the submachine gun to pierce Gattuso. Selina and Emma couldn't help but exclaimed at this time. They were really afraid that Lin Yi would be really injured.

However, Lin Yi quickly got up from the turf, as if he was bending over to straighten his shin guards.

AC Milan's human wall also began to stand under the arrangement of Dida. At this distance, the two heavy artillery of Lampard and Gerrard can directly threaten the gate guarded by Dida. This threat has to be guarded against.

Ancelotti was gesturing at Gattuso on the sidelines. Maybe he wanted to tell that reckless guy not to make such a reckless foul. After all, there are still 10 minutes in the game, so be careful to be sent off directly.

All of this seemed normal, including the referee carefully checking whether the opponent's wall was far enough away, but behind all these most normal things, there was a person who unexpectedly moved!
The attention of Pirlo, Gattuso, and Maldini has been listening to Dida's command to set up the human wall, while Seedorf and Gilardino are also staring at Lampard and Gerrard. Take the penalty.

But no one saw that the football on the turf was aimed at the goal. Perhaps the whispers of Lampard and Gerrard attracted everyone's attention, so no one noticed who was standing behind the football.

Maybe only the old Portuguese man who had trained Lin Yi for nearly a month could sense something.

The fierce competition and the noisy atmosphere of the stadium make everyone's nerves tense, so some of the most simple and straightforward things will be ignored, such as a football placed on the turf, it will also move.

Especially when there is a foot behind the football to make it move purposefully, in this place less than 30 meters from the goal, it can pose a deadly threat, such as it is now.

Maybe even the referee didn't realize what happened. AC Milan's human wall has not been properly arranged, and Gerrard and Lampard seem to have not discussed who will take the free kick in the end.

But the football placed on the turf moved, it moved like lightning, and everyone was dumbfounded. When the football passed the wall set up by AC Milan and was sent into the penalty area, maybe only Kaka was aware of it. He was in danger, but he wanted to turn around and chase after him, but God didn't give him this chance.

Precise pass, not powerful, but enough to pass through AC Milan's wall, and enough for Ribery, who turned back and slanted into the penalty area, to receive the pass near the penalty spot, and in front of him, there is only one Dida .

In one-on-one duels, Dida is facing a situation of isolation and helplessness. He may not be able to think of other ways to stop Ribery except for opening his hands in despair, but the empty penalty area and that action With an extremely flexible scar face, even a quick acceleration is enough to pass Dida.

Dexterously dunking Dida, Ribery faced the empty goal in the small penalty area and pushed gently.

The football that passed through the opponent's wall was accurately sent into the net. Before Ribery raised his hands and cheered for the opening score, the entire Stade de France had already exploded, including the two guys in the commentary booth. Di Gray and Lineker almost tipped their tables.

"No offside! No violation! Beautiful through ball! Ribery! He opened the scoring for Chelsea! Score the first goal of the game! Chelsea! Chelsea are now [-]-[-]!"

Andy Gray may be relatively calm, because he is really afraid that the line referee or the referee will raise his hand at this time to indicate that the goal is invalid, but seeing that the Norwegian referee has already pointed his hand to the middle circle, he knows it!Forget the goal!Before everyone noticed, Ribery had already scored!

And Lineker was already roaring, 35 seconds!The game has only started 35 seconds ago!Chelsea are already ahead!Ribery's goal is not so gorgeous!But this assist was too precise!

If someone pays attention to Ancelotti's expression at this time, maybe they will find that the good old man's face is a bit stiff, and he was still giving instructions to Gattuso before the goal happened.

But now, everything seems to be solidified. The cheers of Chelsea fans in the stands strongly hit the hearts of every AC Milan fan and player. Ancelotti was even more confused by this sudden goal. What happened? ?Ancelotti was stunned as the football rolled in the net.

goal?hell!Did the referee blow his whistle?Ancelotti was arguing with the fourth official on the sidelines!

He didn't believe that his team would be scored so easily!How did this damn goal happen! ?Wasn't that pass offside?That should have been a free kick!
This may be the first time that Ancelotti has questioned the fourth official on the sidelines like this in a game. He may have forgotten his usual gentle demeanor, and now he is like an angry male lion.

"That goal shouldn't have happened! There is a problem with the referee's penalty! The opponent violated the law!", but Ancelotti's questioning did not receive a response, and the fourth official just warned him to calm down and stop doing this again.

Maybe only the referee knew what happened. A direct free kick, Lin Yi took advantage of the opportunity allowed by the rules. He didn't shoot directly before the opponent's wall was set up. He just didn't pay attention to it. At that time, he used the quick free kick tactic to directly penetrate the defense line.

No one knows if this is a tactic he had thought up long ago, and no one knows if this is a sneak attack plan prepared by Mourinho before the decisive battle, but Lin Yi has already used the pass to tear apart AC Milan's defense.

Only Kaka saw what happened when he was guarding from the side. When he saw Lin Yi standing in front of the football, he felt a sense of crisis, but he really didn't expect that kid to pass the ball like this.

He always thought that Lin Yi would take the free kick himself. Although Lin Yi had no record of scoring a free kick before, Kaka was really worried that this kid would suddenly attack.

It's really difficult, but even Kaka didn't expect this to happen, pass the ball!Oh shit!Kaka knew as soon as Ribéry received the pass that the worst was about to happen, trailing by a goal at the start.

And Lin Yi's pass happened right under his nose. He watched Lin Yi standing in front of the football, and suddenly kicked up a ground ball with his right foot, which was wiped on the turf, and it went straight to the center of the penalty area.

Before that, Kaka also saw Lin Yi saying something to Ribery who was pulling him up when he got up from the turf, but no one would have thought that these two guys were discussing this!

Franck Ribery's running position was not a tacit understanding, but before Lin Yi kicked the ball, the kid had been observing the route Lin Yi was going to pass the ball, so Scarface's forward drive was not offside.

A well-planned conspiracy, a seemingly unbelievable goal, just happened, and everyone was a little stunned, including those football stars who were still sitting in the stands.

As for the expression of the Italian Prime Minister Baldy Bei, I guess there is no need to say more.

Anyway, he saw Abramovich cheering for the goal again in front of him. The fist that the Russian waved seemed to hit Berlusconi's heart, more and more ruthlessly.

In fact, even the referee hesitated a little at the moment the goal happened, but the linesman signaled that the goal was not offside, and Lin Yi caught the opponent's defensive negligence within the scope allowed by the rules. Question, you can say that Lin Yi is stealing and playing tricks, but he really did not foul.

When Franck Ribery jumped up to Lin Yi with his hands up, the perpetrator had already been crushed by a herd of animals. Franck Ribery became the top layer of the Arhat stack, and even Petr Cech joined in this crazy During the celebration, maybe even these Chelsea animals didn't expect that he was ahead!

"You madman! That's my free kick!" Lampard roared and cheered for the goal. The perpetrator now looked like he was about to die and was overwhelmed by a group of old men. On the turf, other than beating the turf, he was cursing, "You grandsons, you are going to kill me for a free kick! Get up, my ribs are about to be broken by you!"

When Mourinho saw this scene from the sidelines, he didn't have the astonished expression of Ancelotti.

But when Ribery scored a goal, Mourinho still clenched his fists and swung hard to the sky!In!That kid rewrote the score in the shortest time!Chelsea has taken the initiative!

Mourinho actually didn't know what Lin Yi was going to do at the time, and even that breakthrough seemed a bit reckless to him, but after the goal happened, all the foreshadowing seemed a bit logical, and Lin Yi seemed to be at the beginning of the whole action process. Before, I had already thought about everything I had to deal with.

From Gattuso's foul to taking advantage of the opening stage, the opponent has not fully tensed up and quickly sent a free kick. This kid seems to be catching every loophole in the opponent's psychology, and then hit the fatal blow!
Smart play, cunning judgment, even when Mourinho was watching the little lunatic brought out by himself from the sidelines, he didn't know what the kid would do next, what else he could do!
Ignite the game in the most direct way, Lin Yi did it, and the goal in 35 seconds became the fastest goal in the history of the Champions League final. Is that how it feels when you break through the gate of the Schalke 25 team in 04 seconds?

But now, what is left to the fans and players of AC Milan is only a happy memory. The revenge battle they firmly believe in was beaten to the head by the opponent in just 35 seconds of the opening. It will take 10 minutes to end, and they still have a chance to tie the score or even overtake, but this record, which may be recorded in the history of the Champions League for a long time, has already printed the name of AC Milan. This is not a glorious moment. Chelsea Goals put them to shame.

In less than 1 minute, [-]-[-], although Lin Yi did not score, he was already telling those supporters by waving his fingers at the Chelsea fans' stands that this is the beginning of Chelsea's conquest of opponents!
One to zero is just the beginning, the flames are being ignited. . .
