Football red and black years

After Scarlett returned to Milan, she did prepare cakes for the two in person. When Inzaghi entered the kitchen, she saw Scarlett concentrating on creaming the cakes.

"Don't move, or the cream will be spent again." Scarlett felt that Inzaghi hugged her from behind, and shook her head helplessly to make this guy who sometimes looked like an older child not to be naughty.

"The cake you prepare for me every year doesn't have cream!" Inzaghi pouted, and the little resentful eyes were very funny.

"Can you still eat the cream?" Scarlett curled her lips.As a professional athlete, Inzaghi's diet needs to be strictly controlled, and Inzaghi's diet is notoriously self-disciplined. Things like cream cakes are really insulated from him.

Inzaghi stared at Scarlett's eyes dimmed because she was mixing cream and jam just now, and her lips were still stained with pink cream. It's okay to try it occasionally, right?

As a result, the guests who came to the birthday that day had a feeling that the hostess's lipstick was extra strong today. As for those people who saw the mystery... This is different for everyone.

But the birthday is coming, and the game must continue. After successfully reaching the semi-finals, Milan ushered in the semi-final opponent Manchester United.

Strange to say, Milan hadn't met Manchester United for 2005 years before 36. As a result, they met twice in the UEFA Champions League within three years since 2005.

2007 Champions League semi-final first leg, Dream Theater.

Milan vs Manchester United.

This is a game that no one wants to lose, no one wants to be blocked from the final door like this.

Manchester United wants to return to the top of Europe after eight years, and Milan is also unwilling to miss the place where it won an epic victory 13 years ago-Athens.

At the same time, everyone understands that this is a direct dialogue between two young talents, Kaka vs Ronaldo.

Based on the performance of the five major leagues this year, if there is no accident, this year's Golden Globe Award will be produced between Kaka and Ronaldo.

And whoever can beat in the Champions League semi-finals is likely to directly affect the ownership of this year's Golden Ball.

Just like in the 2004 Champions League final, Milan directly defeated Porto to reach the top of Europe, establishing Shevchenko's Golden Globe Award.

April 2007, 4, Old Trafford, rainy night.

This year's Champions League semi-finals, the Premier League accounted for three out of four, and they are besieging AC Milan, the only seedling in Serie A.

Today, Milan and Manchester United slaughtered the city of Rome 7:1 in the previous battle, and they are even more arrogance.

But Old Trafford is really a place without psychological pressure for Milan.

Don't mention those things in ancient times, let's just say that many of Milan's players had defeated Juventus in the Theater of Dreams to win the European title. From Milan's point of view, this place can be called a blessed land!

And this time Manchester United seems to be bound to win against Milan, but only Manchester United knows the pain inside.

In this campaign, as many as 7 Manchester United players were absent due to injuries, especially the defense was devastated by injuries.

In addition to Vidic, Sylvester and Gary Neville, Ferdinand's groin muscle strain last weekend required him to stay on the injured list for 2 weeks, so Ferguson had to leave Wes Brown and Heinze in the central defender position The combination.

Evra, who resumed training on Monday, returned to start in time, and O'Shea filled the vacancy at right back.

Ferguson Ferguson used the strongest configuration in the midfield and Manchester United. In the case of Saha's continued injury, Rooney, Giggs and C. Ronaldo formed a striker trident, and Dong Fangzhuo entered the substitute list again.

Manchester United: Goalkeeper: Van der Sar

Defenders: - O'Shea, Brown, Vidic, Heinze

Midfielders: Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes

Forwards: Giggs, Rooney, Ronaldo

Although Milan is not easy, but apart from Inzaghi's injury on the front line, Milan's backcourt can be described as rock-solid.

Ancelotti played a fairly classic Christmas tree formation in this game.

Goalkeeper: Dida

Defenders: (from left to right) Caladze, Cannavaro, Nesta, Ramos

Midfielders: Ambrosini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Seedorf

Among them, Kaka and Seedorf came forward.

In the forward position, Ancelotti chose Gilardino.In fact, Gilardino is not the best candidate in Ancelotti's mind, but this is no longer a choice.

In fact, Ancelotti is also suffering in his heart, Milan is now in a period of transition from old to new.

The originally reliable frontcourt trident has suffered two injuries this season, at least to ensure that Inzaghi and Shevchenko can use at least one of them in the Champions League final, and none of them will be able to play in this game.

Royce and Bell among Milan's next frontcourt tridents are only 18 years old, and it is unrealistic to want to provoke the leader now.

Although Bell performed well in the league, he didn't seem to be soft in the previous Champions League group stage.But for Ancelotti, it is too aggressive to let a young player who is not full start the Champions League semi-finals. Didn't Ancelotti choose Kaka when he played against Juventus in the Theater of Dreams?

Ancelotti thought very well, based on the situation on the field to see whether to send Bell and Royce to the field.Especially when it is necessary to tie the score or even overtake in the end.At that time, Bell, who was physically fit and extremely fast, was definitely the one who made the opponent's defender suffer.Even if Bell can't play the most important role of a striker now-scoring goals, but as long as he can play the role of pulling aside and let Kaka steal a few away goals, that's fine!

Moreover, Bell was born as a full-back, so it is also very useful when you want to shrink the defense.

As an Italian coach, blocking his goal like this is a compulsory course!

And Ancelotti is obviously no worse than his Italian compatriots in this respect.

Ferguson frowned when he got Milan's starting list. He still has some research on Ancelotti. Milan's first choice for forwards in the past few years has always been Shevchenko and Inzaghi. If you attack a single arrow, the striker in the starting list is definitely either Inzaghi or Shevchenko.

But today these two people sat on the bench together and let an unreliable forward start. It seems that Milan's injured list is really like this, not that the club is trying to cover it up.

However, Ferguson still chose to treat it cautiously. Even if Gilardino started because there was no one in Ancelotti's hands, he was able to be shone by the four-year triple crown and one semi-finalist. The striker that the Milan dynasty is looking for will not be a waste, right?

But in order not to put pressure on the players below, Ferguson still arranged tactics as usual.

Maldini was recovering from his injury, so Ambrosini put on the captain's armband this time.

Although Kaka is Milan's confirmed successor to Maldini, Kaka is currently the third captain.Moreover, Scarlett and Maldini are still negotiating to make Kaka's character tougher.

It's not a big deal if it's just being gentle and gentle as a player, but as the captain of a wealthy team, sometimes you have to be tough when you need to be tough.

Ambrosini guessed the right side of the coin, and he claimed the tee.This is an away game, and the venue is not familiar, so it is better to have the kick-off right.

At the beginning of the first half, AC Milan tried their best to control the possession of the ball. The pace of the game was not fast, while Manchester United was a little nervous.

In the 4th minute, Fletcher picked a pass from the middle, and Rooney kicked at 16 meters and Nesta stretched his foot to block the baseline.

In the 5th minute, Ryan Giggs, who was the captain of the game, took a right corner kick. Ronaldo jumped 6 meters from the middle and headed for the goal. The ball bounced off Dida's shoulder and Heinze got ready before Bell. Fighting for the top in front of the goal, Dida, who turned around and dialed the ball, made a fatal mistake and stabbed the ball directly into his own goal with his right hand (UEFA recorded the goal under Ronaldo's name).

This goal brought Manchester United's total number of goals in the Champions League to 350, and it was also the 165th goal conceded by AC Milan in the history of the Champions League.

Manchester United lead 1-0 at home.

It would be unlucky to be led in the first 5 minutes, but there are not many other players in the Milan team. There are many 30-year-old veterans who are used to strong winds and waves. There is no problem in stabilizing the situation.

Scarlett is relatively stable in the VIP stands. Even if there is only regular time, there are still 85 minutes. What is she in a hurry?

Manchester United is not a team that is good at playing 1:0.

Although Manchester United gradually took the initiative in the game after scoring the goal, it did not pose any substantial threat to Milan.

In the 8th minute, C Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the left rib and missed a low shot 24 meters away.

Two minutes later, Ronaldo received a diagonal pass from Rooney's right side to attack the goal, which was slightly weaker and was easily confiscated by Dida.

In the 12th minute, Kaka's peripheral shot was insufficient and van der Sar got it.

Two minutes later, Carrick received a pass from Giggs on the right, and the ball was shot 2 meters away and was blocked by Dida's side throw.

In the 17th minute, Ambrosini's header was interfered by O'Shea in the middle, and the arc was too high and the speed was not fast, which was confiscated by Van der Sar. Two minutes later, Kaka received a header from Pirlo's left corner and the goal was wide.

In the 22nd minute, Seedorf made a diagonal pass from the left rib. Kaka, who had celebrated his 25th birthday the day before yesterday, suddenly speeded up and threw away Carrick, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. In one step, Kaka scored his 8 goals in this season with a left-footed low shot from 16 meters.

Thus surpassing Inzaghi to become the current top scorer in the team, this is also the second consecutive game in which AC Milan has scored goals in nearly 6 visits to England.

曼联则是在1998/99赛季1/4决赛2-0击败国米后，近6次主场对意大利球会场场都有失球。

In the 27th minute, Fletcher made an oblique pass from the right to the penalty area, and Giggs' header was slightly higher than the lintel.

After 4 minutes, Giggs made a cross from the left, and Rooney threw off Nesta to fly to grab a shot, but failed to form a shot by half a step.

In the 35th minute, Ronaldo suddenly shot with his left foot from 20 meters away, Dida did not dare to shoot the ball carelessly with both hands.

In the 37th minute, AC Milan instigated a counterattack and hit the ball to the left. Fletcher was not decisive in making a clearance and was taken by Kaka. Then Heinze and Evra were not tight in filling their positions. Kaka easily got rid of it and went directly Facing Edwin van der Sar, the Brazilian calmly pushed his right foot from 11 meters and scored his 9th Champions League goal this season, taking the top spot in the scorer list.

What's even more tragic is that Evra and Heinze failed to defend Kaka when they collided and fell to the ground, creating a background board for a classic scene in world football.

Even Scarlett, who was sitting in the stands, was shocked. What kind of operation is this?Even if it seems that the overall trend is not good for Manchester United now, these two don't have to just "die together", right?

And you must know that the background board of this famous scene will be mentioned from time to time in the future. Do they really want to leave their names in history?

In fact, after Heinze transfers to Real Madrid this year, he will probably have a common language with his Real Madrid teammates. After all, they are all Brazilian strikers (attack midfielders)...the background board.

Can only say: sosad

In the 38th minute, Kaka shot with his right foot 30 meters away and was blocked by Van der Sar from the bottom line.Then Nesta took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to head high.

In the 42nd minute, Evra will miss the second round of the semi-final due to dissatisfaction with the referee's unnecessary yellowing.In stoppage time, Pirlo took a free kick 32 meters away and shot directly high.In the first half of the game, AC Milan reversed and led Manchester United 2:1 and entered the half-time break.

In the 48th minute of the opening of the second half, Carrick received a far-end corner kick from Ryan Giggs on the left side of the penalty area and shot with his right foot from 7 meters away.

In the 53rd minute, Gattuso was lifted off the field by a stretcher due to injury, and Brocchi came off the bench.

After 2 minutes, Pirlo picked the ball behind him in the middle circle, and Kaka inserted forward and shot a diagonal shot from the far corner on the right side of the penalty area and missed it.

In the 56th minute, Kaka and Seedorf cooperated on the left rib, and the Brazilian shoveled at 8 meters but eventually missed.

In the 59th minute, Fletcher made a straight pass in the middle, and Carrick, who was behind him, pushed directly to Scholes. The latter picked up the ball with his right foot and hit the ball behind him. Dida scored with his right foot from 8 meters before the attack to equalize the score, scoring in the Champions League for the third consecutive game.

In the 60th minute, Kaka and Giggs had a dispute and each received a yellow card. Three minutes later, Rooney cleverly turned around and got rid of the left pass to the far corner and was shot by Dida. Fletcher intercepted the ball at 3 meters and was blocked by Dida with a side throw.

In the 65th minute, Giggs put the ball into the penalty area from the right side. Rooney shot in from 15 meters. Dida's position was not good and the ball went into the net. Rooney's fifth goal in the last 5 games The ball helped Manchester United to overtake the score. At the same time, after scoring his 5nd goal in the main game this season, he successfully tied Ronaldo and the Portuguese for the top spot in the club's scoring list.

Ancelotti looked at the situation on the field, Gilardino's physical fitness has been a bit unbearable, and the injuries of Sheva and Inzaghi made this the third consecutive game for Gilardino.He also started a league game and a Coppa Italia game before, and it is time to replace Bell for the sake of future games.

"Gareth goes to warm up and replaces Alberto. In the last 10 minutes of the game, if the score is tied or exceeded, then retreat and defend." Ancelotti arranged tactics.

Gilardino was not dissatisfied watching Ancelotti play the sign of a substitution. This is his third consecutive start in the past ten days. He really feels that his physical fitness is not enough on the court. It's a good thing to change it now.

Bell was very excited and gave Gilardino a set of high fives and hugs. Although he knew that it was unlikely that he would start in the semi-finals of the Champions League, it was a good thing to get the chance to play for nearly half an hour, so this The little monkey ran onto the field excitedly.

Ferguson frowned watching Ancelotti's matchup and substitutions. It's still the same sentence, he can occupy a place in Milan, which has three championships and one semi-final in four years, especially when the semi-final is still hacked. None of the strikers will be waste.

In other words, for a team that has never missed the Champions League semi-finals in five years, there is no such thing as a waste snack without any player who can occupy a place in it.

But Ferguson did not choose to change. If he chose to change just because of the opponent's matchup, then Ferguson would not have the ability to sit on the top of Manchester United for 20 years.

"What do you think of Gareth?" Shevchenko looked around and asked Inzaghi while covering his mouth.

Shevchenko already knows that Bell is the center forward that Milan is ready to take over from him, and he is also willing to impart some game experience to Bell.

Although Shevchenko knows that Bell will really push him to the bench one day, the Ukrainian striker who is nearly 31 years old still has more insights into life than when he was 21 years old.

Bell is 13 years younger than Shevchenko. It would be a bit funny for him to compete with Bell.And judging from which club's attitude, as long as his condition remains good within three years, he and Bell will basically take turns starting.

This is a respect for veterans, and it is also to protect the bodies of young players.

Players' bodies, especially their bones, can be basically resistant to setbacks until they are around 20 years old, and each individual needs to be analyzed in detail.

If a player used it excessively when he was young, he would basically have a physique of a glass man at 27-[-], such as the "wind chasing boy" Irving.

So in order not to always lose one of the three frontcourt tridents in Milan in the future, Scarlett told the Milan laboratory more than once to keep an eye on Ancelotti: let him remember to rotate!In the past three years, players cannot be overused in the future!We can buy it if we are really short of people, but it is definitely not for the water dispenser when we buy it!

As for the ideological work of young players...

Paul!As our eternal captain, our red and black soul, this is when the organization needs you!

So even if Shevchenko and Inzaghi's status declines sharply in at least three years, the club would rather buy a few strikers who are still in their prime than overuse Royce and Bell.

As for three years later?

Three years later, Shevchenko will be 34 years old, and Inzaghi will be 37. At that time, who knows how good his state can be maintained?

"His running ability is good, at least he has a good effect on Manchester United's defense now. Although his foot skills are still a bit rough, it seems that the improvement may not be small." Inzaghi said.

"Skilled?" Shevchenko looked at his striker partner for many years in a strange way. As a person who can never go beyond three steps with the ball, is it really good to say that other people's skills are rough?

Probably because the striker partner for many years has a better understanding, Inzaghi felt the meaning in Shevchenko's eyes, touched his nose and said: "His running position is very good, very spiritual!"

Shevchenko...

Shevchenko doesn't know where Inzaghi has a voice besides his sense of smell in front of goal and his dribbling skills three steps ahead.

But since my striker partner who relies on his weird running position and sense of smell in front of the goal said that the little guy's running position is good, then I seem to be able to tell that little guy something else.

While Shevchenko was observing Bale's performance in the game, Inzaghi was also explaining something to Royce sitting next to him.

Although Inzaghi and Royce are not the same type of forwards at all, Inzaghi has spent more than ten years in world-class giants after all, and he can still secure the existence of the main striker.

What I saw from the players that Inzaghi came into contact with, plus what I have learned myself, is enough to benefit these little guys a lot.

In the 68th minute, Bell received a diagonal pass from Kaka on the left sideline. Bell staged a quite classic man-ball score when Vidic and He stepped forward to press.

When Vidic stepped forward to press, Bell kicked the ball out first, then overtook from the outside line, and then touched the ball three seconds later and volleyed vigorously.

The angle of Bale's shot is a dead angle in the theoretical sense, coupled with the current pouring rain, Van der Sar's vision is blocked, and he can't make a save.

Manchester United, in one game, made the background board of world football famous scenes twice.

Goooooooooooooal!

The commentator was roaring frantically, "Gareth Bale, this young player who is not yet 18 years old scored his first goal in the Champions League in the semi-final of the Champions League. He just passed the ball to himself 3 seconds later. It's a miracle!"

The director also assigned the shots to Giggs of Manchester United, and the commentary also said: "It seems that the Welsh national team has successors!"

Many people who had ridiculed Scarlett for being stupid and rich during the summer break once again felt: My face hurts!

It can be said that this group of people will never learn to have a long memory. They once laughed at Scarlett for buying Sheva, which turned out to be more cost-effective than Moratti for buying Ronaldo from the perspective of the championship trophy; Card, but in the summer of 06, Real Madrid reported a record high price in football history and failed to buy it; laughed at Scarlett for buying Ramos, but Istanbul beat Liverpool, and Milan won the Champions League for three consecutive times, 3000 million?That's a steal!

Scarlett spent 600 million pounds to bring Bell from Southampton to Milan last summer. At that time, many people laughed at Milan for being taken for a while-600 million pounds bought a 16-year-old who was still playing in the British Championship. player with the ball.

But if the current Serie A defenders know what these people think, they will collectively cry and show them: How many background boards have we made?If they knew that this kid could run so well, they would have raised enough £600 million for their boss to buy this little guy back and keep it in the nest even if it was crowdfunding!

Being made into the background board in the collection, it feels very painful!

At this moment, he was just a little monkey, and Bell was a little confused that he couldn't be called the Great Holy Land. He didn't expect that his hasty kick just now would have such an effect!

How did you get in like this?

But Bell was quickly overwhelmed by his teammates who rushed forward.

"My cubs are so capable!" These guys are basically over 30 years old, and they can be regarded as grandparents in football, thinking a little flattered.

"This little guy is still a bit shy!" Maldini looked at the blushing little monkey rubbed by his teammates and said to Costacurta next to him with a smile.

"Well, it's the same as Richie!" Costacurta also laughed.

When Kaka first came to Manchester United, he was shy and shy!

now...

Now Ka Xiaozhu's daily life is to go to the tree of Sheva, eat the cake of sleepy skin, and after being "bullied" by Gattuso, go to complain to the big guys like Maldini, and then snicker to see how these big guys are doing "Destroyed" Gattuso.

Occasionally, I would shake Ma Damiao's Coke until it was flat, and I would go to An Pangpang's place to eat and drink!

Probably Bell's goal gave Milan a considerable advantage. The guys on the court celebrated for a long time, and they didn't stop until the referee came to warn them.

Kaka even carried the little monkey on his back, making Sheva next to him puff up his cheeks. This was all his benefit before!

Well, occasionally Inzaghi's too!

Inzaghi raised his eyebrows and looked at his striker partner, hehe, the big ball is jealous of the small ball?Do you want to watch a good show when you go back?

Inzaghi actually wanted to tell Shevchenko that not only the little monkey would climb Kaka's tree in the future, but also the golden vicuna!

But now Inzaghi decides not to say anything in order to be able to watch a good show on the way back. Inzaghi feels that he should have confidence in his teammates. He believes that Kaka can resist the sweetness of Ukrainian milk sugar... right?

In the 70th minute, Kaka violated Scholes at the front of the penalty area and gave Manchester United an excellent free kick opportunity. Giggs took a free kick 25 meters away from the center and shot a left-footed arc ball directly wide.

Ancelotti looked at the rain that was getting heavier, yelled at the sidelines, and looked at Kaka. Now that Milan and Manchester United are tied, Milan still holds a great advantage in three away goals.Kaka has also started three games in a row, so it is better to replace him.

Thinking of this, Ancelotti replaced Royce again, and made a counter-substitution with Kaka.After calling Ambrosini and Cannavaro over and explaining a few words, and making a few gestures to Bell, Milan changed instantly.

Bell, who was originally on the front line, retreated after seeing Ancelotti's gesture and became a left midfielder, with the new Royce as the attacking arrow.

Bell withdrew his defense immediately after seeing Ancelotti's gesture. The little monkey is an obedient child, and the little monkey is back to defend!Big guys, let's squeeze, we have one more person on our defense line.

A certain goalkeeper who was watching this scene in front of the TV in Spain felt that his heart was hit again. Why is everyone else’s forwards can be used as defenders, but here is a defender, everyone has a forward’s heart Woolen cloth?

What a sosad!

And Royce, who is the attacking arrow, is actually cruising in his own half. Ancelotti is planning to put up an iron bucket formation!

Looking at this scene, Ferguson only felt a toothache, and cursed inwardly: "Old fox!"

But Ancelotti doesn't know anything about it. Even if he knows, it doesn't matter. As an Italian coach, it is a trivial matter for them to arrange a bus in the World Cup final if necessary, let alone the away game of the Champions League semi-final?

Ferguson can only allow Manchester United to strengthen their offensive, but it is a pity that they have gained momentum and failed to score.

In the 73rd minute, Karadze fiercely uprooted Rooney and was given a yellow card.Giggs tried his foot again in almost the same position, but he hit it within the range of the door frame, but the angle and strength were average, and Dida firmly caught it.

Two minutes later, O'Shea's low shot from outside the penalty area was also not very threatening.

In the 76th minute, Pirlo's free kick 30 meters away was also suppressed by Van der Sar's side attack.

In the 81st minute, Fletcher and Giggs cooperated on the right side and shot from a small angle and was scored by Dida.

Two minutes later, Ronaldo shot with his right foot 2 meters away from the left rib and missed the side net.

After entering the stoppage time period, the two sides still had nothing to gain. Royce also got a long-range shot, but it just hit the post and bounced out.Milan drew 3:3 with Manchester United in the away game.

Now the pressure is entirely on Manchester United's side.

In the next game, Milan can keep Manchester United out of the final as long as they block the goal. As for blocking the goal like this, this is familiar to Serie A teams!

In the second round of the San Siro, it was raining heavily. Kaka and Milan did not let the victory go by. An unsolvable volley opened the door to victory for Milan.

Crush Vidic and ignore Fletcher.One-on-one against Heinze, one-on-one with Evra, all kinds of unreasonable speed of Kaka, all kinds of one-on-one against the entire team's defense line, this is the protagonist of the Carmelo era that later generations are called by everyone One of Kaka.

The silver saddle shines on the white horse, the rustle is like a shooting star, the man on Moshang is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world. This is the best portrayal of this peerless arrogance.
