[Football] Crown of Thorns

The time passed minute by minute, and it had reached the 35th minute of the first half. The score on the field was still 1-0, with AC Milan leading.

Another free kick.

Gama pulled up the hem of his jersey to wipe the dirt off the football, put it down, and stepped back.

"It's Gama again. Abate, No. 20 of the Milan team, also used foul methods to stop Gama..."

"... Some players, when the opponent wants to stop him, the only way is to foul. I am amazed by such players, and I am also worried. I always think that many players with such talents are due to injuries..."

"Gama, Gama is ready to make a free throw!"

"Let's take a look, this ball..."

Gama hit a high-altitude curling shot to the left of the goal - no, it wasn't a direct attack, but a clever pass.

It's just a pity that after Gama's free kick passed to the left of the goal, Lewandowski's header from 8 meters to the left was caught by Abbiati.

Abbiati held the ball, waved to his teammates to get into position, and then he threw the ball in the middle of the road with a flick of his hand.

But this time, although Milan's pass fell at the feet of his own family, Gama, who had been eyeing Van Bommel for a long time, suddenly rushed out and swept the ball aside, and his teammate Blaszykowski took it. The football turned around and launched an attack on the Milan half.

"not good!"

High in the sky, the commentator's voice was high and shrill.

On the court, Blaszikowski passed the ball to the side while running with the ball. Piszczek, who was chasing from behind, did not stop the ball, and directly kicked the ball to Sbender with a relay.

Svenbender tried to break through Milan's defense, but after two consecutive moves failed, he immediately kicked a diagonal pass.

Gama jumped over his head and rubbed the ball to his back. Lewandowski had followed and volleyed.

There was constant exclamation in the audience, and Milan's Koscielny rushed out to make a clearance, but he made a mistake in his clearance and kicked the ball directly to his teammate Robinho.

Robinho, who was hit by the ball, obviously showed a distorted expression on his face, but he still performed at a good level in this situation. He raised his foot to hook the ball and ran a few steps forward from the left In the back pass, it's a pity that Ibrahimovic, who got the ball, looked single-handedly, but at this time the linesman raised the flag and Ibrahimovic was offside.

Ibrahimovic, who heard that his ball was judged to be offside, was very dissatisfied and gestured to the line referee, with an expression of "how is it possible" and "where am I offside".

Seeing him like that, Robinho ran over and pulled him.

Ibrahimovic looked down at his teammate Robinho, and he turned and walked away with an expression of reluctantly swallowing his breath.

Dortmund's defense, which used the rules to create offside reasonably, finally won the bet. Weidenfeller gave his teammates a 'great' gesture.

Next, before Dortmund could hold the ball tightly, it was intercepted by the Milanese. Antonini, who got the ball, stole the ball from the left and volleyed from 18 meters away from the Dortmund goal. Fortunately, his volley The shot was still blocked by Weidenfeller.

Weidenfeller, who dared not be careless, kicked the ball to Schmelzer. Schmelzer took the ball and walked a few steps from the side and then knocked the ball to Hummels. Hummels saw Milan The player came to block and crossed the ball, but the ball was intercepted by Milan's Emmanuelson halfway through. After the successful steal, Emmanuelson took two steps from the left and passed the ball to Dortmund's goal kick, Nocerino grabbed a point and volleyed, the ball missed the post and slipped out of the baseline.

This wave after wave of attacks made Dortmund a little confused. The coach Klopp standing on the sidelines looked gloomy at the circled disciples on the field. He walked back and forth anxiously, rushing at them repeatedly. With a gesture of solid defense.

Dortmund captain Kyle quickly noticed his coach's gesture, and he shouted at his teammates.

Gama, who was near the middle circle, turned his head sideways and also noticed the coach's commanding action.

Do you stabilize first and then defend?

Gama let out a breath, trying to calm down the anxiety in his heart.

It's been a long time since I've felt such anxious emotions. The team was disconnected before and after the game, and they made successive mistakes in their coordination, and the teammates lost their positions seriously.

He looked up at the time on the electronic watch on the sidelines, and it was already 41:00.

The first half is almost over.

Jia Ma licked his lips, "I can't go on like this..."

Defense alone is not enough. It is impossible to defend like this. If possible, it is best to score a goal.

At this time, Milan's Robinho succeeded in stealing the ball again. He dribbled the ball into the right side of Dortmund's penalty area, and Ibrahimovic's support in the middle was also in place, but this time Robinho's tackle passed It was cut off by Dortmund defender Piszczek.

Piszczek, who broke the ball, immediately sent a long pass to Gama near the center circle.

At this time, Jia Ma chased after it like a galloping cheetah. At the moment when the football was about to fall, he jumped up and passed the ball to the other side.

At the same time, Sven, who was running over, blocked the push with his chest, and the football flew over again. Gama raised his left leg and kicked the ball.

The football thrown diagonally returned to Sven's side.

Sven kicked sideways with his long legs and passed back again.

Gama, who received the ball this time, did not hesitate to take advantage of the space blocked by Sven and Gross Cruz and rushed over.

At this time, the San Siro Stadium was quiet, and everyone watched Dortmund's Gama and Sven's beautiful pass performance and the triangular pick-and-roll action with his teammates within ten seconds. Although they were their opponents, they really played wonderfully. .

"It's really a cooperation without words."

"Yes, young players are also very brave."

"The technique is quite good, especially the dominant number eight."

Dain nodded.

"Well, although they are opponents, we should also applaud these young people."

On the sidelines, a 4-minute stoppage time sign has been put up.

At this moment, Jia Ma was running with all his strength, and all he could see was the shadow of that goal.

At this moment, in the stands, the fans of the Yellow and Black Legion stood there, watching the players galloping, and the singing wafted over the San Siro Stadium again.

"...we have no hatred, we hold hands, we are full of blood, our faces are full of smiles, we have long known each other,

We are firmly and loyally together, cheers for football, Borussia Dortmund!

In front of any opponent, never lose courage and confidence, cheers for football, Borussia Dortmund..."

Sweat slipped from the forehead, wet Gama's eyebrows.

He didn't care to brush away the foggy corners of his eyes, he stared at the goal, and then kicked.

…………

During the intermission, Gama was lying on the bench, and the team doctor was massaging his leg muscles.

In the locker room, the players wiped their sweat and cleaned up their jerseys and shoes, while listening to the coach standing in the middle of the locker room explaining the tactics for the second half.

"...Keep calm and don't take cards, stabilize the defense and don't be impulsive. What we need now is to defend first and then attack. We must not let Milan score again..."

Jia Ma Yipiya, who was massaged to the calf by the team doctor, was sore and sore in that position. According to experience, if he thrusts like that with all his strength, the possibility of muscle strain will be greatly increased, but...if that goal is scored... ...Gama sighed silently, then grinned again—sore.

"Take it easy!"

Gama looked back at the team doctor.

Rolf pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Hehe~~"

Jia Ma fell down dejectedly—it was all his own fault, now everyone will reply him with this "huh huh".

"Be careful in the second half, you know the result of muscle fatigue."

Rolf put away the medicine box, slapped Gama's PP, and said so.

Jia Ma thumped the bench, "Can you please stop being so obscene."

"What do you mean?"

Rolf pushed his glasses.

Seeing his 'gentle beast' appearance, Jia Ma thought about his identity——team doctor) Well, he can't afford to offend this old man.

"It's nothing."

Gama got up disgusted, and began to put on his socks and shoes, as if he didn't want to talk anymore.

Rolf smiled and stopped teasing him, "Come on in the second half!"

"Ok!"

Klopp, who finished talking about the tactics of the second half, waved at Gama. Gama was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked over. Klopp motioned him to follow him, and the two walked out of the locker room.

Standing at the door, Gama looked at the coach strangely.

But Klopp pondered for a while, "At the end of the first half, you attacked..." Saying this, Klopp stopped again, "It's just a goal difference, we still have the second half, don't have to work so hard Xiko, if you get injured, it would be bad."

"Oh sorry, I was too careless."

Gama, who was interrupted by the opponent's foul and failed to complete the final blow, scratched his head, "Sir, I will be careful."

Klopp looked at him and couldn't help but patted Gama on the shoulder, "You're a smart player, but don't think too much about it."

"?"

Gama looked at Klopp strangely, he didn't quite understand what Klopp meant.

Klopp sighed, "Okay, you go back! Play well in the second half."

"Yes, sir!"

Gama, who pushed the door in, didn't hear Klopp's sigh.

"Finished?"

Hearing the old friend's question, Klopp shook his head, "I didn't say anything."

"...That's it!"

"Speaking of which, regarding that transfer, how is the discussion going?"

"We're still talking, but it's progressing smoothly, so there should be no problem."

"That's good."

…………

…………

In the second half, they changed sides and stood again. From the beginning, the two sides omitted the trial procedure. Milan directly came to a violent attack, and they succeeded.

In the 48th minute, Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic cut into the bottom line of the penalty area and made a pass after turning offside from the left. Robinho headed the ball 7 meters in front of the goal. The football rebounded and jumped into the lower right corner of the goal.

2 to 0, Milan led by two goals.

In the 52nd minute, the Milan team made another victory.

Boateng made a pass from the right, and Ibrahimovic made a supplementary shot after being blocked by Schmelzer 5 meters away from the goal!

3 to 0, the home team leads by three goals.

At this time, the Milan team applied for a substitution, Koscielny went off, and Jolu came on.

Gasping for breath, Gama watched as the Milan players celebrated around him, and that was all he could do.

"Shiko!"

Behind him, Kyle put his arms around his shoulders, "Relax, don't be too nervous."

"Three balls..."

Gama murmured.

"So what, keep kicking!"

"But……"

"So, are you going to admit defeat?"

"........."

Kyle pressed Gama's shoulder hard, "Are you going to admit defeat?"

"……Do not!"

"That's not the end."

Kyle smiled, let go of Gama and retreated two meters away.

Do you want to admit defeat?

Gama looked at the Milanese, red and black, deep and dazzling, this is AC Milan, a giant in football!

Sweat dripped, slid from his forehead, and landed on his lips. Gama licked his sweat, salty and bitter.

Passing, tackling, attacking, tackling.

Gama, who was struggling with all his strength, slipped and fell in the half court. He got up and rushed up again.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Dortmund got a set kick in the frontcourt.

opportunity!

Gasping for breath, Gama stared at the opponent's goal and the Milanese wall.

He backs up, backs up, takes three small steps, and hits the ball hard.

The football drew an arc in the air and rushed straight to the Milan goal.

Abbiati stared at the football, then jumped high.

In an instant, the football, which seemed to be about to hit the crossbar, suddenly fell rapidly and landed heavily behind the jumping goalkeeper.

The ball bounced off the ground and hit the back of Abbiati, who fell, and then rebounded and rushed into the goal.

Inside the stadium, Dortmund fans screamed, then shouted with excitement.

3 to 1, the visiting team pulled back a goal.

Gama clenched his hands tightly, opened his mouth and roared loudly.

He had never roared like this before on the court, with his veins tensed and his face ferociously roared, but for a moment, he couldn't control his emotions, he just shouted without any elegance and quietness, venting all the emotions in his heart depressed.
