Chapter 397 Restoring the Balance

After the two teams took a short break, they came to the court again to stand in formation.

Looking at the high-spirited Red Army members in front of him, the Milanese felt a little flustered for no reason.

From a three-goal lead to a four-to-four tie, except for Kaka's "Mon" kick in the second half, Milan seemed to be sleepwalking as a whole team.

"Facing such a Liverpool team, can we still win?" Many Milan players backed down.

The physically strong Serginho became the main offensive point of AC Milan, and Gerrard returned to the right from time to time.For this sake, the players on both sides became cautious.

Although the score was tied, the Milanese were not afraid of penalty shootouts.

In the Champions League final two years ago, in front of Dida, Trezeguet, Sarajeta and Montero all became trembling because of this tall black Brazilian.The quality of the penalty kicks shot was mediocre, and Dida resolved them one by one. The Brazilian also used this battle to further establish his status as a first-class goalkeeper, and even became the seventh meritorious goalkeeper in the history of the Champions League.

No matter how unwilling the game process is, for Milan and An Pang, as long as they win the game, everything is fine; if they are finally overtaken by the Red Army, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Fortunately for An Pang, he still has a substitution quota in his hand.This also means that he has one more option than Beitu and Liverpool.

There were 10 minutes in the second half of overtime. Liverpool had no substitutions and tied the score again. It is bound to play more conservatively - after all, if you get injured, you can only fight with ten players.

Looking at the performance of the Red Army in overtime, An Pang was right.

In the 92nd minute, Pirlo shot high with his right foot from a long distance.

Under An Pang's shout of "don't worry", in the 95th minute, Milan finally scored a Hyypia foul in front of the Red Army.

Pirlo took a free kick with his right foot 27 meters in front of the goal and flew straight to the goal. Tang Wu took off the ball with both hands and did not launch a counterattack quickly.Instead, after holding the ball on the ground for a while, he finally handed the ball to his teammate on the wing.

During the break just now, Beitu had already made it very clear that he would try his best to delay the game to a penalty shootout. After all, after fighting for nine to 10 minutes, the physical strength of the Red Army players had reached a critical point.

In the 101st minute, Serginho made a diagonal pass from the left, and Traore made a header to clear the siege, which made Thomasson, who was outflanked by the back post, fail to hit.

In the 105th minute, the thing that Beitu was most worried about happened: Smicer had a cramp in his right leg and went to the sidelines for emergency treatment. Liverpool temporarily played with 10 players.

During stoppage time in the first half of extra time, AC Milan passed a long diagonal pass from the right, Shevchenko hooked a shot from a small angle on the left and was caught by Tang Wu. The Spanish referee directly blew the whistle to end the first half.

When the whistle blew, Garcia also fell down, and Cisse hurriedly raised his teammate's right foot to his waist to help his teammate recover from his cramped thigh.

The successive cramps of the Liverpool players gave the other players on both sides a little time to breathe. An Pang called Kaka, Thomason and Shevchenko to his side, and kept asking for something.

"TOM, hold on a little longer, it will be over soon." Beitu comforted Tang Wu who was lying on the sidelines.

Liverpool doesn't have that many fitness coaches, but as Tang Wu, he is eligible to get a professional masseur at this time.

"Boss, I'm not that fragile!" Tang Wu pointed to Garcia and Smicer who were not far away, "I understand my situation, I have already saved enough energy for the penalty shootout, and the rest depends on my teammates It's gone."

Under the urging of the referee, the players of both sides only rested for 2 minutes before returning to the court again.

This time, two members of the Red Army became "stand-ups".

An Pang made a decisive decision and replaced Gattuso with Costa.Milan can choose to settle the battle in extra time or drag the game into a penalty shootout, but Liverpool can only choose the latter.

In the 108th minute, Pirlo's right corner kick was blocked. He got the ball and hit the front of the Red Army's penalty area. Kaka volleyed with his right foot 25 meters in front of the goal, but Tang Wu struggled to block it out of the baseline.

The Milanese very much hoped that the players could replicate Maldini's opening goal, but Tang Wu, who was highly focused and defended wholeheartedly, did not give the Milanese any chance.

In the 110th minute, Stam counterattacked with a direct pass. Shevchenko did not score to Thomason on the left, but managed a long-range shot and Tang Wu held it out with one hand.Then, the energetic Costa made a low pass from the left, and Carragher exhausted his last bit of strength to break the ball out of the baseline.

Then, the Red Army defender who had been on the field for nearly two hours also fell to the ground with a painful face, clutching his cramp left leg.

No one said it was a play by the Red Army players, and no one questioned Carragher's painful expression.

Since the second half, everyone in Liverpool has been on full attack and full defense. It is normal to have cramps at this time of the game.Taking a step back, even if Carragher is really pretending, the fans will not blame him.

It can be said that Liverpool and Milan have made the best use of everything in this regard.As long as it goes to a penalty shootout, the balance of victory will be leveled again.At that time, whether it is the powerful AC Milan or Liverpool on the road to revival, they can only entrust their fate to God.

Carragher barely stood up and retreated from the injury in less than a minute. He gritted his teeth and fell to the ground to help Tang Wu block a close-range shot from Shevchenko.

In the 118th minute, almost all Milanese except Dida crossed the halfway line.

The Milanese are very smart. They know that even if Liverpool kicks the ball into the frontcourt at this time, no one can catch up with the ball, and even if the Red Army counterattacks, so what?The game can end at any time.Even as soon as the ball flew over the midfield, the Spanish referee would blow his whistle.

In other words, this is the last chance to attack in this game until the end of Milan's attack.

After breaking through Traore, Costa made a diagonal pass from the left.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and in a daze, the fans at Sun Yat-Sen Stadium seemed to see Beckham's full moon scimitar.

Such a long pass from near to far nailed Tang Wu to the goal line, not daring to make a rash move.

"Milan biography."

"Shevchenko?!"

Seeing the figure rising from the sky, the hearts of all KOPs rose to their throats.

What about Hypia?Where is Gerald?What about Alonso?

Why is it a Milan striker who took the lead at this time?
The Ukrainian nuclear warhead flicked the header 7 meters in front of the goal line, and it was just right in terms of strength and accuracy.

"Oh!"

The ball changed its trajectory in an instant and flew obliquely towards the upper right corner of the Red Army goal.

"Tang Wu!" Zhan Jun exclaimed again.

When the camera zoomed in on the Red Army's goal, the fans were surprised to find that Tang Wu's body was more than one meter above the ground.And his right hand, which was struggling to stretch, was only a decimeter away from the intersection of the beam and the column.

"puff!"

The ball hit the center of the white-green glove and fell together with Tang Wu.

Perhaps Galileo should throw the iron ball again. Anyway, this time, Tang Wu fell to the ground first.

In the next second, Sheva rushed forward single-handedly, and there was no defender beside him.

This is the sense of smell of the world's top shooters. When there is no shot, they will consider supplementary shots.When Tang Wu caught the ball, Sheva was the first to rush to the ball.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

There were two knocking sounds in front of Liverpool's goal in a row, and the two knocking sounds sounded almost at the same time.

Tang Wu, who just got up from the ground, stared wide-eyed, facing the ball swept by Sheva, he blocked the ball from the crossbar with his face two meters in front of the goal.

"Beep, beep, beep!!!"

Tang Wu fell on his back in an instant, and the Spanish referee blew the whistle for the end of the game without hesitation, not even giving Milan the last corner kick.

Seeing the blood splattered in front of Liverpool's goal, the Milanese didn't make a sound, obviously accepting the result silently.

The opponent's goalkeeper has already fought to this point, is there any point in arguing for a corner kick?

Sheva stood there in a daze. He didn't understand, why he couldn't even score a shot that was close at hand with his football player's strength.

Thomason, who was on the side, was a step behind with a supplementary shot, and also stopped, watching the Liverpool players beside him rushing forward one by one, surrounding Tang Wu in the middle.

This game seemed to exhaust Milan's luck. Tang Wu, who had never conceded more than three goals, was scored four goals by Milan in regular time.

But at this moment, all Milan fans are crossing their chests.Even "overdrawing" a goal to God didn't help the team win the game. Can Milan now win the game?
