football redemption

Chapter 153 Casey
Maldini, who broke through Vukovic, did not continue to break through, because in front of him were Courtlis and Cisse who had already returned to defense, and behind him was Vukovic who turned around and still bit him.

Maldini Jr. made another move to cross with his right foot.

This time, no one came up to block the route of his cross. Both Courtlis and Cisse were too far away from him. They couldn't make it up by one or two steps. It's better to participate in the defense in the penalty area!
So the reaction of Courtlis and Barcelona is not to step forward but to retreat.

They all shrank to the middle of the penalty area, and their targets were Suso and Higuain who had already entered the penalty area.

These two had crossed the penalty area line and entered the penalty area when Maldini made his first pass.Now in the second cross, they have reached near the penalty spot.

In order to defend them, the entire defense line of Olympiacos followed them and retreated to the vicinity of the penalty spot, all in their own penalty area, and no one defended at the front of the penalty area.

The midfielder Guilherme also withdrew. He was the second line of defense for Olympiacos, but he was facing the goal.
This means that his back is facing the AC Milan players. Once an AC Milan player gets the ball at the front of the penalty area, he has to turn around to defend. This speed is slower than one shot or two.

Maldini kicked the football with his right foot this time, but he didn't pass it into the penalty area, nor swung the ball backwards. Instead, he twisted his body with his left foot and turned to the center of the front of the penalty area.
Go back in time a bit:
Just as Maldini passed Vukovic and leaned towards the middle, Shaqi suddenly accelerated and sprinted towards the penalty area of ​​Olympiakos at full speed.

The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.

It will come in handy for daily training!

Maldini turned around and found Shaqi as he wished, and he passed the football directly.

Following the football, everyone was horrified to discover that the real threat to AC Milan was not the famous Higuain, nor the very beautiful Suso last season, but Shaqi who came out of nowhere.

Xia Qi, who no one cares about, is the real killer!
Olympiacos, who was belatedly aware of it, realized that he had missed his defense, and it was still a big fish.

Cisse and other defenders were firmly suppressed in the penalty area by Suso and Higuain. Now they are still far away from Shaqi, and they will not be able to catch up for a while.

Guilherme is not far from Xiaqi, but he has to turn around before he can go to Xiaqi again.

The aircraft carrier turned around, enough for Shaqi to take a shot calmly.

It stands to reason that even if Guilherme is too late, there should be an Olympiacos midfielder next to him to assist in the defense. This kind of defense has layers and depth, so that the opponent will not let the opponent through.

But at this time, you don't see other Olympiacos players around Guilherme at all.There's no way to cover Guilherme's defense.

Maldini's football passed, if Shaqi wanted to stop the ball to adjust the angle, then it would give Guilherme a chance to defend.

But Xia Qi didn't intend to stop the football. He looked up at the goal in the distance, and then fixed his eyes on the football. The football flew over with an arc, not in a straight line.

He began to adjust his pace, his speed dropped from a full-speed sprint, and he began to adjust his steps in large and small steps, which was a harbinger of a direct shot.

These pictures can be written with hundreds of words, but in fact, it takes only an instant on the court.

Since people discovered that Maldini Jr.'s purpose was not to pass the football into the penalty area, but to pass it across to Shaqi who was inserted in front of the penalty area. It took only one second for Shaqi to stride in front of the football.

The football passed by Maldini Jr. has an outward rotation arc, first turning towards Shaqi, and then away from him.

Shaggy swung the ball just as it reached the outermost end of the arc and hit the ball!
Outside instep pass, outside instep volley.

The rotating soccer ball is given another force in the direction of its rotation, which is faster and has a larger arc.

In the eyes of goalkeeper Sa, the football headed towards the corner flag as soon as it kicked out, but even so, he still didn't dare to neglect, or because his body's reaction speed exceeded the brain's thinking.

He rose across the sky, stretched his body as far as possible in the air, and rushed towards the football.

He did it perfectly and it would have been a beautiful shot on camera, but it didn't help him get the ball.

For some shots, whether to score or not depends not on whether the goalkeeper is brave or not, but on the footwork and luck of the shooter.

Shaqi's shot drew a very obvious arc in the air, directly bypassing the outstretched right hand of goalkeeper Sa.

The goalkeeper didn't stop the goal, it depends on Shaqi's luck

He's lucky today!
After the football bypassed the goalkeeper Sa with a huge arc, it quickly spun inwards, and finally flew into the goal against the goal post!
"My God! When did Shaggy show up there? Goal! The goal is scored!" Noy exclaimed excitedly.

This is the wave of the world!
Very beautiful non-stop ball direct shot!

With a strong spin, the football bypassed the goalkeeper Sa and finally flew into the goal.

Shaki scored twice! 2:2 draw with Olympiacos!

"AC Milan fans, you can cheer. Although there are 14 minutes left in the game, it is almost impossible for Olympiacos to score two goals in a row and make a comeback."

"I think it's time to congratulate Shazio on scoring twice in his debut match, and congratulate AC Milan on qualifying. I also want to say that Mr. Gattuso really knows how to play, let the second chase the second, big heart, don't play in the remaining 14 minutes, the ambulance is very expensive, let's keep the score honestly, okay?"

Noy's commentary made the AC Milan fans in the bar of Milan City, Italy shout brilliantly!

As much stuffy wine as you drank in the first half and as much wedding wine as you drank in the second half.

This game is too much to drink!And this is because the head coach Gattuso is too good at playing.

The moment the football flew into the goal at the Kareskakis Stadium, the noisy and lively stadium was quiet for a few seconds!
After scoring the goal, Xia Qi had no time to run to the coach's bench, and he was overwhelmed by his teammates on the field.

Having regained the advantage of two goals, the youths of AC Milan laughed brightly and celebrated wildly...

The AC Milan fans who accompanied the team were shouting: "Go! Milan!"

The battle song "...Milan, Milan..." sounded in the European competition.

In the live broadcast room, Noi relished talking about the goal just now. He predicted: "This year is the best year for Juventus to win the Serie A championship. Next year, the tactics are mature and the torrent of red and black personnel is well-organized. Not only will it become Juventus' number one enemy in Serie A, it will also be a beautiful landscape in Europe..."

Noy’s prediction made it impossible for Italian fans and the media to refute. Regardless of the start of AC Milan, AC Milan is not afraid of Juventus at all in the recent games... They will only be stronger next year, because they are young, but Ronaldo is one year older....

After the game restarted, the Olympiacos fans in the stands sang the Olympiacos team anthem, cheering for the team!

On the football field, the Olympiacos players are also striving to be the first, striving to create miracles.

The game seemed to go back to before the goal, and it was still Olympiacos besieging AC Milan.

But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that this is not the case.

Although Olympiacos did have an advantage on the scene, AC Milan's quick counterattack was also very sharp, which made Olympiacos dare not use its full strength when attacking.

Moreover, after the score was equalized, AC Milan's defense disappointed the Olympiacos fans and the Olympiacos players, especially the midfield guarded by Shaky and Casey.

The handsome Casey, who looks more handsome than Wang Junkai, can advance and retreat freely. He often induces the opponent to pull the ball and change direction. Most people will slow down when changing direction. This slowdown gives Xia Qi a chance to steal.

Moreover, like Wang Junkai, in addition to his appearance, Casey has good defense and assists. His physical fitness prevents him from being passive in the midfield competition.

Having his midfielder made Xia Qi full of vitality, which is one of the reasons why Xia Qi was able to turn the tide after playing.

Kicking and kicking, Xia Qi felt something in his heart, and he understood why Ranieri in the vice world kept moaning and wanting to find a beast waist.

Vieira, Essien, and Makelele are hard to find, but Casey's B2B midfielder is completely competent!

If he plays like Casey behind Pirlo, then Pirlo can be liberated, and his offensive talent is very likely to activate Baggio!
I have entered into a misunderstanding in the sub-world, always thinking about driving the whole team by myself. In fact, Fiorentina has no shortage of core players. Pirlo, Ronaldinho, and Baggio all have "eukaryotic" abilities.

None of these great gods are weaker than Xia Qi, why should someone lead them?

What Florence lacks is lubricant and catalyst. Ranieri and himself have always wanted to find a beast waist. Of course, this choice is also full marks, but Vieira and Makelele are rare animals and it is difficult to find.

Casey tonight opened a new window for Xia Qi. Under the protection of Casey, he kicked like a fish in water and enjoyed the fun of the metronome.

In the remaining time, Shaqi organized several decent attacks, under his thread, from Bonaventure to Higuain, to Maldini, to Suso,
However, AC Milan's forwards seemed to have forgotten to bring their shooting boots, and the goalkeeper was either resolved by goalkeeper Sa or played happy football.

As time passed and only the most ardent Olympiacos fans were still waiting for a miracle, most Olympiacos fans started leaving early.

Two goals away, time is running out, the most important thing is that there is no hope on the scene, if you don't leave the field early, is it possible to watch the Italians having fun at your home court after the game?
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The Olympiacos players bowed their heads and left quickly.

AC Milan drew with Olympiacos 2:2 in the away game. The media and many fans took it for granted that AC Milan advanced, but they didn't know that AC Milan was eliminated by Olympiacos 3:1 in another time and space, which led to Gattuso's dismissal.

The AC Milan players didn't know that they had changed history, and thought it was right for them to be promoted. After a very calm wash, they took the team bus back to Athens and flew to Milan that night.

Xia Qi was "sleeping" all the way. In fact, he reviewed Casey's style of play in the system and spent green coins to ask the head coach Dana in the system for advice.

Rome in the millennium is very strong. Are Lazio, Juventus, and Parma not strong?Serie A at that time was like the Premier League today, there were no underdogs at all...

Fiorentina wants to win the championship, Shaqi must make a change!
The next day, the teammates gathered at Xiaqi's house to watch the live broadcast of the UEFA Europa League draw ceremony. Since AC Milan did not beat Olympiacos in the away game, they qualified as No.2 in the group, not the seeded team.

欧联杯32强是由24支小组赛出线的球队+8支欧冠小组赛的No.3组成，其中小组第一和8支欧冠No.3为种子队，在1/16决赛中不会碰面，同时同一个竹鞋的球队也不会相遇。

The full draw results are as follows:

Victory Pilsen vs Dinamo Zagreb

Club Brugge vs Salzburg
Rapid Vienna vs Inter Milan
Slavia Prague vs Genk
Krasnodar vs Bayer Leverkusen
Zurich vs Naples
Malmo vs Chelsea

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Frankfurt
Celtic vs Valencia
Rennes vs Betis

AC Milan vs Dynamo Kiev

Lazio vs Sevilla
Fenerbahce vs Zenit St Petersburg

Sporting Lisbon vs Villarreal
Borisov vs Arsenal

Galatasaray vs Benfica

As a result of this draw, AC Milan is luckier than Lazio, and Dynamo Kiev must be better than Sevilla.

It's just that AC Milan wants to be a guest first and then a host. Thinking about Ukraine in February, Shaqi feels chills all over his body now.

In the next few days, Xia Qi and his teammate Casey got along well and learned from others' strengths.

This made little Maldini a little tasteful: "Why are you so good with Casey recently?"

"He's handsome, I'm handsome!"

"Why?"

"We have a super handsome literary star in China, and he has many mother fans in Asia. Casey is even more handsome than him!"

Little Maldini looked at Casey, who looked very anxious, and looked like you were kidding me?
Xia Qi took out Huawei Aipai, clicked on AC Milan Casey, and directly searched for the word Junkai.

Xia Qi pointed to these two characters and said: "This is the name of the Chinese little fresh meat star." Then he copied the two characters Junkai and put it on Du Niang. Without the embellishment of AC Milan, of course he was the first to search for Wang Junkai.

Little Maldini pointed out the difference between Wang Junkai's Junkai and Casey's Junkai stroke by stroke. He preferred that the two characters were different Chinese characters. Xia Qi was bullying him for being "illiterate".

There was a sensation in the locker room!
Someone directly translated in Wenyitong, it turns out that what Xia Qi said is true, Kathy’s Chinese nickname is Jun Kai, the name of a Chinese idol star...

Ai Pali Wang Junkai is very sunny and handsome, even the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans can't say he is ugly!

But does this have anything to do with Casey?
Chinese eyes...this aesthetic...is really a magical country!

Casey was so moved that she held Xia Qi's hand and shouted: "You Chinese, like my mother, have aesthetic vision, and you can see how handsome I am..."

"Kathy, calm down, you hurt me, we Chinese prefer to be called daddy..."

"Dad, I love China!"
