Chapter 206 Super 'S' Free Kick
After the score was equalized, Borussia Mönchengladbach's momentum became stronger, and AC Milan coach Zaccheroni couldn't sit still. Facing the opponent's offensive, Zaccheroni knew that he might not be able to defend.

AC Milan also has an offensive genius, so Zaccheroni suddenly waved his hand and signaled the players to press on the attack.

The game began to be played openly, and both sides were no longer conservative. This kind of game made fans of both sides hooked.

In the 35th minute, AC Milan broke through Malouda's defense after a two-on-one cooperation between Helveg and Gurley on the right, and then crossed the center and suddenly shot a long-range shot. The ball was pushed out of the crossbar by Ilgna.

One minute later, Madavikia once again swayed in front of Maldini and then slammed a straight kick. Illie understood, jumped out from behind Roque Junior, took advantage of the opportunity, broke into the penalty area and volleyed. The ball rubbed against the post and rolled out of the bottom line.

Neither side will bother with the middle lane. After all, there are experts like Nick, Gattuso, and Ambrosini in the middle lane, so it is difficult to get any benefits from the middle lane.

This caused the side players of the two teams to exhaust their physical strength very quickly. Even Madavikia and Malouda, who had always been physically excellent, were a little out of breath. Few of them could stand it after sprinting back and forth a few times.

Moreover, AC Milan's defense against the two is even more fierce, and physical contact is not uncommon. Against fast players, this trick is very effective, and the two are a bit frustrated now.

Nick has been assisting in the defense. During this time, AC Milan’s offensive is also good, and Shevchenko’s offensive power is strong. It is difficult to mark him with Metzelder or Friedrich alone. In the 37th and 38th minutes, Shevchenko singled out Metzelder twice and succeeded. However, Ilgner caught a shot from too right an angle, and Friedrich who was deployed once broke the baseline.

Moreover, Jose Mari's ability to disrupt the situation is not weak. Although he is just a passing player of AC Milan, this kid is the golden boy of Atletico Madrid before Torres.

Shevchenko has always kept a distance of less than ten meters from Jose Mari, and Shevchenko’s threat is obviously greater. Once he gets the ball at his feet, the threat will come immediately, so Nick has been reminding Metzelder that Shevchenko can’t let Shevchenko comfortably hold the ball.

Jose Mari's running position is relatively erratic. He knows that Borussia Mönchengladbach's central defender is strong and difficult to deal with, and he obviously benefited from Shevchenko's restraint. Jose Mari got two good shot opportunities.

In the 40th minute, Shevchenko received a long pass from Costacurta's backcourt and directly headed the ball. The ball drew a high and floating arc and flew directly in front of Jose Mari. Jose Mari volleyed directly and the ball hit the plane.

In the 42nd minute, Helvig sent a ground ball from the right. Shevchenko took the ball forward. The ball bounced on Metzelder's foot and changed direction.

At this time, Irgner once again showed the level of the German national team in the past. At the moment when the ball was about to fall, Irgner flew up and punched the ball flying. This time Irgner's judgment was very accurate.

These few attacks of AC Milan almost deserved to write the score. There is a reflection of personal ability and luck.

Compared with AC Milan's offense, Borussia Mönchengladbach's offense has gradually slowed down. Madavikia and Malouda began to pay attention to the success rate of breakthroughs. If there is no chance, they will choose to pass the ball.

And Ortega often retreats to get the ball in the middle, and he can't advance quickly. Therefore, Ortega also pays more attention to keeping the ball under his feet. After all, there is not much time in the first half of the game. It is not a bad result to be able to return to the locker room with a score of 1:1.

However, in the 43rd minute of the game, Ortega suddenly sent an overhead ball in the middle. Trezeguet headed a little ahead of Costacurta, and then jumped between Costacurta and Ambrosini. Then, before Roque Junior kicked, he immediately shot in front of the penalty area, but unfortunately he didn't make any effort, and the ball was caught by Abbiati.

If Trezeguet could calm down a bit, he would see Li Yihuan emerging from the other side. If the ball was passed, Li Yihuan would have a chance of a single shot from a smaller angle.

In the 45th minute, Ortega finally made a wonderful breakthrough. Under the cover of Trezeguet, Ortega caught Ambrosini's momentary hesitation and decisively dribbled the ball between Ambrosini and Gattuso.

Borussia Mönchengladbach fans stood up, ready to appreciate this wonderful breakthrough, but Gattuso still pushed fiercely from behind, overthrowing Ortega, who was about to accelerate, to the ground.

'The Butcher' is different. If it weren't for this push, AC Milan's gate would probably have to suffer a severe test. In front of the 'Little Donkey', Trezeguet and Illie both occupied a good position.

A free kick from 30 meters away, Borussia Mönchengladbach's last chance in the first half, although a little far from the goal, but this is Nick's sphere of influence.

Nick stood in front of the ball, gently put the ball in place, then straightened up, staring at AC Milan's goal.

There are too many people in the penalty area of ​​AC Milan. Because it is the opportunity before halftime, the pressure on the AC Milan players is still very high. Nick often scores goals from such a distance. AC Milan players all know it, and Abbiati is even Alexander.

The Borussia Mönchengladbach players all know that Nick will definitely shoot the ball, so they are more likely to interfere with the opponent in the penalty area of ​​AC Milan, especially to chat with Abbiati, bragging or something.

"Hey boy, are you ready to be fucked?"

"Haha, you don't know how powerful our captain is, do you? He will kick the goal across!"

"Tremble, Sao Nian, this is your destiny, I wish you luck, boy."

Abbiati was very upset, and he was a little impatient. Maldini rushed over and pushed Metzelder and the others away when he saw something was wrong.

"Haha, I'm in a hurry, let's go and watch them cry later."

The game continued, and when the whistle sounded, Nick rushed straight up, found the bottom of the ball and kicked it, and the ball flew up.

The ball flew straight towards the goal with a beautiful S-shaped arc, the ball directly bypassed all the players, and looked like it was about to fly out of the baseline. Even Abbiati let out a long breath, thinking that the ball was finally over.

But then there was a loud "boom" that scared Abbiati out of his soul. The ball hit the goalpost hard and bounced back. AC Milan's penalty area was immediately in chaos.

This ball is very similar to Carlos' free kick in the 97 Four Nations Championship, but Nick's luck was a little bit worse, and the ball hit the post.

The ball is still in the penalty area of ​​AC Milan. Because everyone is not prepared, the ball hits several people in a row, and then lands at the feet of Illie. The Romanian 'Cobra' kneels subconsciously, and the ball flies straight to the gate!
