Start from 1999

Chapter 204 Lightning Strike

There is no doubt that the offer to Nick was burned by Wendi Deng, who did not want to sell Nick.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's third game in the UEFA Champions League group stage will be against Serie A powerhouse AC Milan at home.

AC Milan is also one of the most successful teams in the UEFA Champions League, second only to Real Madrid in the number of championships.

This season, AC Milan dug Redondo from Real Madrid. Unfortunately, before Berlusconi and Galliani were happy, Redondo was injured. After diagnosis, the Argentine star will be absent for two months.

But Nick is more aware of Redondo's history. He didn't play a few games in AC Milan, and eventually retired sadly.

In the last game, AC Milan drew with Real Madrid 2:2 at home. Shevchenko scored twice and scored 1 point after two games. This made AC Milan's prospects for qualifying in the group not optimistic.

However, Borussia Mönchengladbach will not give up their plan to get 3 points at home. If they can get 3 points, the points will reach 9 points, and it is just around the corner to qualify from the 'death group'.

The game will start on time at 9:26 on September 18th.German TV, Italian Canale TV and CCTV still sent their own comments.

Riedel firmly believes that Borussia Mönchengladbach will win, and the crazy commentator of Canale TV, Krudelli, believes that AC Milan can get 3 points. Huang Jian is still guessing the draw. It seems that as a fan of the Italian team, Huang Jian is still full of blessings for AC Milan, although what he thinks in his heart is that Borussia Mönchengladbach is gaining momentum and is likely to overthrow AC Milan at home.

AC Milan's starting lineup is goalkeeper Abbiati, forward Shevchenko, Jose Mari, midfielder Gattuso, Ambrosini, Gurley, Leonardo, backcourt Maldini, Costacurta, Roque Junior, Helveg, the average age is much younger, Shevchenko is a great threat, Gattuso is known as the "butcher", and his interception ability in midfield is comparable to that of Nick.

The starting lineup of Borussia Mönchengladbach is goalkeeper Ilgner, forwards Trezeguet, Li Yihuan, Iriye, midfielders Ortega, Madavikia, Malouda, Nick; the defense is Metzelder, Friedrich, Hausweiler.

Players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel, and immediately found that the atmosphere of the Baucabege Stadium was unprecedentedly warm. Finally, the UEFA Champions League was ushered in at home. Borussia Mönchengladbach fans all rushed into the Baucabege Stadium. Today's Baucabege Stadium is overcrowded.More than 1000 AC Milan fans also came.

Nick and Maldini walked in front, and when Nick heard his name shouted like a tsunami from the stands, his eyes suddenly became a little moist. If he really left here one day, Nick felt that he would hurt a lot of people.

Maldini turned his head to look at Nick's expression, and then smiled: "Nick, you won't be so excited, right? Isn't it just a UEFA Champions League group match?"

"Hehe, Brother Paul, I am really moved by such a good fan."

Nick put away his excitement, and Maldini smiled again: "Nick, you are the banner of Borussia Mönchengladbach, what you enjoy, even I am a little excited."

"Haha, Brother Paul, let us join hands to present a wonderful game and make the fans happy!"

After the opening remarks, AC Milan took the lead in kicking off.

Shevchenko and Jose Mari stood in front of the ball, and the two chatted.

"Hey, Jose, you have to pay attention, that Nick is a good defender, I heard his defense is everywhere."

"Haha, Andre, you're not so afraid of him, are you? I'm not afraid of him. We must get 3 points today, otherwise we will be in trouble if we qualify from the group stage."

"Well, Jose, I'll keep in touch with you."

The ball shook and the game officially started.

AC Milan launched a quick pass and cut at the beginning, trying to give Borussia Mönchengladbach a bad start at the beginning.

But as soon as the ball entered Borussia Mönchengladbach's half, it was immediately blocked tenaciously.

Nick's close defense against Guli made Guli almost vomit blood. As soon as his body touched, Guli felt a mountain pressing down on him, making him unable to hold the ball at all, so he could barely kick the ball back.

After Gattuso got the ball, he decisively distributed the ball to Ambrosini. Ambrosini leaned in the middle, and Maldini rushed up, pulling the side to get the ball.

Madavigia also rushed up immediately. Maldini started to start immediately after getting the ball, but when Madavigia came up, Maldini suddenly dunked and used his body to forcibly lean on Madavigia, who had lost his center of gravity, and then cut across the middle. Before Nick came up to press, Maldini flicked his ankle, and the ball flew directly to the penalty area.

Shevchenko's No. 7 jersey flew out suddenly, and the "nuclear warhead"'s ability to grab points was perfectly reflected at this moment. With a pad on his instep, the ball quickly rushed into the gate of Borussia Mönchengladbach, 0:1, less than 1 minute into the game, and Borussia Mönchengladbach fell behind.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOAL! The great Ukrainian nuclear warhead blasted Borussia Mönchengladbach's goal. He never let us down. He opened the door to victory for AC Milan. Tonight, let us cheer for AC Milan's great No. 7!" Out of breath and hang up.

Huang Jian also yelled in the CCTV studio hall: "Wow, AC Milan scored a goal in less than one minute! It was Shevchenko with the No. 1 jersey who scored the goal. Yes, it was Shevchenko, who is known as the Ukrainian nuclear warhead! Blitzkrieg, his scoring ability is too powerful."

Riedel spit out a sip of water. He just took a sip of water and was ready to explain how Borussia Mönchengladbach made AC Milan surrender, but he didn't expect the visiting team to turn away in less than a minute!
Borussia Mönchengladbach fans immediately fell silent. Who would have thought that the team's first home game in the Champions League would be scored first by the opponent?

The fans of AC Milan chanted Sheva's name one after another. Although the stomping movement was not too loud, it also made the fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach feel troubled.

Obviously, Milan fans thought it was a good start, and they felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Seeing the AC Milan players running and celebrating, Nick was a little helpless. Shevchenko's ability was there. Metzelder followed Shevchenko for this ball, but he was still half a step behind, and Shevchenko seized the opportunity.

Madavigia also suffered a loss in experience when facing Maldini. AC Milan's background is indeed strong enough, and today's game is obviously difficult to play. Once the Italian team takes the lead, it will definitely cause you internal injuries.

"Everyone raise your spirits, AC Milan is definitely not as easy to deal with as you imagine." Nick clapped his hands and reminded his teammates to pay attention. Obviously, the two consecutive victories in the Champions League still made his teammates a little light. Against such an experienced team, this will become the Achilles' heel.

"Don't worry Captain, we know what to do!"
