The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 449 Scoring is so easy!
"Messi pulls into the middle, Fabregas passes the ball, Messi gets the ball, Maldini closes quickly, Messi turns around with the ball, breaks through, oops, Messi gets tripped by Maldini in the penalty area! "

"Will it be a penalty?"

"Maldini's defense is indeed a little too big, and the position where Messi was tripped is worth discussing. It should be said that it belongs to the scope of the referee's weighing. Will this be a penalty?"

"Proutz gave Maldini a yellow card, but indicated that it was a foul outside the penalty area, and gave Tottenham a direct free kick, not a penalty. At this time, AC Milan should breathe a sigh of relief. If now A penalty for Tottenham would be a death sentence for AC Milan."

"In the past period of time, Tottenham Hotspur's offense has improved a lot. AC Milan's defense is a bit behind Tottenham Hotspur's rhythm. Maldini is very flexible against short guys. Messi, he seems a bit powerless!"

"The Tottenham Hotspur players are obviously not very satisfied with the referee's decision, because they think it should be a foul in the penalty area and a penalty should be given, but the referee obviously does not intend to change his decision, laughing Shake your head and say no, and who will Tottenham take the free-kick now?"

"The live TV footage was also specially given to the stands. This is the core player of Tottenham Hotspur, the superstar Beckham. If he is there, this free kick position is really good. He will take the penalty. The success rate is very high, but there is no player in the Tottenham Hotspur team who can replace Beckham."

"It's Van Persie, Van Persie is going to take this free kick."

When Van Persie walked towards the penalty spot, Pirlo was right next to Maldini and asked with concern: "Paul, are you okay? Are you okay?"

Paolo Maldini shook his head at Pirlo and waved his hand, "It's okay, that kid is just like a loach, he's a good skater!" But while speaking, he was obviously panting heavily, the game had just passed It took about half an hour, but he was already showing signs of fatigue. After all, he was going to be 39 soon.

Generally speaking, when a professional player reaches the age of 30, his physical function has already begun to decline. If the physical function and state are maintained better, it is quite rare to persist until the age of 35, but even now, Maldini has Still maintained a very high standard, which is indeed very, very rare.

38-year-old Maldini, 36-year-old Favalli, 35-year-old Australian goalkeeper Karachi, 33-year-old Inzaghi, and 30-year-old Oddo, Gattuso and Ambrosini, AC Milan's complete set It is absolutely unreasonable that seven of the starting 11 players in the lineup are aging.

In fact, everyone knows that Tottenham Hotspur have deliberately fought a war of attrition with AC Milan since the first round, because their player lineup is young and can afford it, and because they exhausted their energy today, After a good night's sleep and a day's rest, they will soon be alive again, but these old players can't do it.

"We have to regain control of the ball, Andrea!" Maldini looked at Pirlo.

In the past, their group of veterans were able to hold on. A very important aspect is that AC Milan's tactics are to play slowly and quickly, which is a bit similar to the four-two strokes in Chinese culture. Consumption is not a big problem, so these veterans can hold their positions.

But now Tottenham Hotspur have the advantage in possession of the ball, and the rhythm is directly accelerated by them. At the same time, they are constantly pulling the overall formation of AC Milan through the active running and pulling of the players, so they have to follow Totten Nam Hotspur kept running.

Why does everyone say that football is the most physically demanding sport?
The reason is very simple, not only because a football game lasts 10 minutes, or even 120 minutes, and not only because players in a football game in a mainstream European league run more than ten kilometers per game, but more importantly, , the football game is full of variable speed sprints and switchback sprints.

It is also the most famous sport in the world. Basketball consumes a lot of exercise. If you compare the consumption in a short period of time, such as an attack, or a unit of about 30 seconds, basketball will be greater than football, but if Based on the whole game, basketball is definitely not as good as football.

Therefore, the tactics adopted by Tottenham Hotspur are also very simple, mainly playing fast, speeding up the rhythm, not obsessing with possession of the ball in the offense, and the most important thing is to strangle Pirlo to force you to be unable to play effectively. Possession of the ball, resulting in quick transitions of possession, and through this fast-paced transition of possession, forces your players to do more shifting sprints and back-and-forth sprints from front to back.

Because you see your team has the ball, you always have to rush forward to play offense, right?
If your team loses the ball again at this time, you always have to run back immediately and participate in the defense, right?

Therefore, in every football game, as long as it is fast-paced, it will consume a lot of physical energy. This is why Ye Qiu always said that the most beneficial game rhythm for Tottenham Hotspur is fast and slow, because slow It is a kind of recovery, accumulation and brewing, and fast is the result of slowness, and it is also a kind of explosion after accumulation and brewing.

The advantage of controlling the tempo is that you can go fast if you want to, and slow if you want to be slow. You can recover because of slowness, but the opponent does not have this kind of power, because they can only be led by your nose and cannot help themselves. follow you.

After hearing what Maldini said, Pirlo shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything, but looked at Fabregas.

This handsome Spanish player targeted him everywhere in this game. As soon as he got the ball, Cesc Fabregas would immediately block him and force him to quickly play the ball, while Pirlo used to be Born as a front midfielder, his style of play is more or less classic. If you play the ball quickly, you will not be able to guarantee the success rate, and you will naturally make many mistakes.

In addition, there was Seedorf and Kaka in front of him before, but now Seedorf has been taken down, and it is Ambrosini who came up, so there are not many points that Pirlo can respond to.

When Pirlo was helpless, Ye Qiu on the sidelines turned around and looked at Peter Brandt. The latter immediately laughed and nodded: "Maldini, Favalli, Karadze, even It's Pirlo, it's almost there, and I can't keep up with my movements."

Ye Qiu nodded. Maldini's move to defend Messi just now was obviously slow, which caused a gap in the defense. After posting it for the first time, the move was too big and he couldn't handle it, so he was in the penalty area. Front line foul.

Looking at Roland again, the latter also nodded, "Pirlo's passing success rate in the past 10 minutes was only 68%, and his physical fitness is not good, so it's up to us!"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines, and at this moment, Van Persie's direct free kick turned into an anti-aircraft gun. He slapped himself hard on the forehead and felt that it was a disaster. The free kick shooter seems to be unable to keep up. Van Persie, Messi and even Ribery can take the penalty, but they are not very good.

On the contrary, the Welsh teenager Gareth Bale performed very well, but no matter whether it is in the position of left back or left winger, Gareth Bale obviously has no way to compete with Vargas and Ribery, so there is no Find a way to get him up.

When Tottenham Hotspur walked back, Ye Qiu applauded the players on the field and gave a thumbs up, then An An was on the sidelines with his hands crossed over his chest, patiently waiting for the opportunity.

Just like what he said, what matters in scoring goals is that water will come when it happens. Now that Ye Qiu has dug all the ditches, it just depends on when the water comes.

Fabregas was very excited and worked very hard in this game, because he got a message from his parents before the game that Barcelona was paying close attention to him.

"I heard that they have already started discussing whether to recall you to Camp Nou!" Father said with a smile.

In the eyes of their family, it is a great honor to play for Barcelona, ​​and they will all be proud of playing for Barcelona.

And Cesc Fabregas himself knows that the better he performs on the field, especially in the Champions League, the greater the hope of returning to Barcelona, ​​​​because Barcelona has always only wanted the best and the best players.

But he respected Ye Qiu very much, so he also meticulously completed the task Ye Qiu gave him, which was to strangle Pirlo to death. In fact, this task seemed difficult at the beginning of the game.

On the one hand, because the support behind him was not in place, Modric could not help the team to compete for the initiative in the game stably, so Fabregas had to retreat frequently to help, and it was impossible to limit Pirlo by running back and forth, so Pirlo started The stage played very well, and even AC Milan almost broke the goal of Tottenham Hotspur.

But then Ye Qiu took Messi's retreat route and let Fabregas focus on marking Pirlo. This was tantamount to liberating Fabregas. He began to complete his tasks well, and gradually, with the As time went by, he found the task easy.

It's not that he is big, but because, with the increase in the number of successful defenses, Pirlo now passes the ball as soon as he sees him approaching, and as time goes by, he can also feel Pirlo's breathing, his Physical fitness is obviously not keeping up.

The main players of Tottenham Hotspur have rested for a week to recharge their batteries and wait for work. However, after AC Milan had a fight with Tottenham Hotspur before, they played another game against Juventus. , and then came to London non-stop, which left them with no time to rest.

Judging from the schedule, Tottenham Hotspur took advantage.

Pirlo's physical fitness declined, and Cesc Fabregas began to be able to take the time to consciously complete the defense and restriction tasks for Pirlo, and at the same time devote more attention to offense. This is a natural choice.

Tottenham Hotspur launched an attack, but the ball had just arrived. Modric's pass intention was too obvious. Before it passed into the 30-meter area, it was directly blocked by AC Milan's right back Odo. His through ball is really not smart, at least you should take a few steps forward and play a screen.

After Odo stole the ball, he was pressed by Ribery. Even if the pressure was only a symbolic delay, he passed it to Maldini immediately. Van Persie also leaned over immediately. Maldini immediately Passed to Pirlo near the middle circle.

Pirlo retreated to catch the ball, but when catching the ball, the movement of stopping the ball was a bit stiff. This was caused by the deformation of the movement after the physical energy was exhausted to a certain extent, which made the stopping ball a bit big, and he was always in ambush behind Pirlo Fabregas, who was originally just to prevent Pirlo from turning around, saw this opportunity and rushed forward quickly.

Cesc Fabregas is very smart. Seeing that Pirlo stopped the ball too much, he cut in immediately and used his body to block between Pirlo and the ball. While stealing the ball, he also formed a ball protection, so that Pirlo would not foul , otherwise it is impossible to grab the ball again.

This kick came too suddenly, Gattuso rushed over immediately, but Fabregas did not hesitate at all, because he knew very well that as long as Gattuso approached, he and Pirlo behind him would be the first If he formed a front and rear pinch attack for a while, he would be finished, so when he saw a white figure appearing at the receiving point, he immediately passed the ball.

"Okay, Fabregas passed the ball to Messi, he rushed forward, Messi faced Favalli, passed again, beautiful two to one, Fabregas ran out of space, and himself Take the ball forward, suddenly kick, long shot!!!”

I saw Cesc Fabregas spread his arms to block Karadze who was about to rush over, but also saw that the goalkeeper Karachi was a bit outside, because just now AC Milan was defending and counterattacking, so Karachi was a little bit far away. In addition, he obviously wanted to respond to Maldini's pass, but who would have thought that Tottenham would suddenly counterattack after stealing the ball.

Fabregas's volley was about 30 meters away from the goal, and he hit a bounce ball very smartly. Karachi reacted immediately and flew to save it, but the ball bounced after landing in front of him , slammed into the goal behind him from under his open hand, and kissed the net intimately!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience rushed out of their seats, grabbed the guardrail in front of the stands with excitement, and shouted hoarsely.

"A world wave 27 meters away from the goal, from the Spanish star Cesc Fabregas, this is a very beautiful counterattack goal, Tottenham Hotspur finally took the lead in breaking AC Milan in the 37th minute goal!!"

After Fabregas scored a goal, he rushed out of the pitch quickly, kept opening his arms along the way, jumped over the billboards on the sidelines, and rushed directly to the stands at the bottom. At the same time, there were many Tottenham Tottenham fans stretched out their hands and hugged the Spanish star tightly. His two seasons in Tottenham Hotspur have been really outstanding!

"From the slow-motion playback, we can clearly see that Tottenham Hotspur's ground penetration is indeed very clever and tacit. After Fabregas passed the pass to Messi, he quickly moved forward. Messi also knocked back at the first time, and the two formed a tacit two-for-one cooperation with each other. When Fabregas advanced and got the ball, Caladze, Maldini and Favalli were exposed. Very obvious two gaps!"

"It should be said that this shot was very sudden, but Cesc Fabregas can hit the goal by himself, but he can also pass a through ball to Van Persie or Ribery. Tottenham Hotspur are almost sure, we can only say that AC Milan's defense gave too much space to Tottenham Hotspur's offense!"

The process of the game happened in an instant, and everyone could only understand what happened during the whole process from the slow-motion replay. After watching it, everyone realized that Fabregas' choice at that time was so great. many.

"Fabregas' long-range shot was very sudden, and Karachi obviously didn't expect that he would suddenly hit the goal by himself, so it was a bit unexpected, but Fabregas was very confident, and he obviously felt this after hitting the goal. The ball was there so he was ready to celebrate and it was his 13th goal of the season."

"As the core midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur, Cesc Fabregas has completely transformed this season. He not only performed well in terms of organization and assists, he has contributed 21 to the team in all competitions this season. Assists, but also scored 13 goals, performed very well, attacking and defending are quite good."

"Now that Tottenham Hotspur have finally opened the scoring, this is obviously not good news for AC Milan, because they have to take the initiative to play, and from the perspective of the game process, AC Milan's physical fitness is at a disadvantage. If you press it out again, the risk may be even greater."

While the on-site commentator was analyzing, he saw Ye Qiu walking to the edge of the command area, hugging Fabregas, Messi, Ribery and other players who came back from celebrating on the sidelines, and at the same time doing something to the players. The gesture of pressing forward obviously signaled them to continue to strengthen their attack.

"It can be seen that Ye Qiu is not satisfied with the 1-0 score. After all, this is Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane. They should want to continue to expand their results and ensure that they can steadily beat AC Milan. "

After the players on both sides returned to the court, Proutz blew the whistle to continue the game.

AC Milan kicked off again, but Tottenham Hotspur immediately rushed up like a tide and launched a round of fighting against AC Milan. Fabregas continued to press Pirlo to play, forcing him to quickly take the ball, and soon , In less than 2 minutes, AC Milan made another mistake.

Ambrosini's pass was a bit slow, Mascherano left his position quickly, intercepted it halfway, and kicked the ball directly to the right behind AC Milan's defense with a big kick.

Messi crossed Favalli and was sprinting quickly, and Karadze followed immediately, and the two were fighting for speed.

Seeing that he was about to be at a disadvantage in terms of speed, Karazze made a decision immediately, fell to the ground and shoveled, even if it was a foul, he wanted to stop Messi, but Messi suddenly stopped suddenly after he got the ball one step ahead of him.

Karadze just put the shovel and slid out, and after Messi made an emergency stop, he quickly turned from the bottom to an inside cut and entered the penalty area.

Maldini also returned to his position at this time, and quickly followed up to block Messi, and the Argentine teenager tricked Maldini into a meal with a skillful fake move, and then he suddenly accelerated to the bottom and pulled out a position behind him. , A pass was made close to the ground, and the ball passed in front of the goal.

Odo was guarding the most threatening Van Persie behind Maldini, but behind Odo, Ribery was unmarked, quickly rushed to the front of the left post, and pushed lightly against the incoming ball.

Sometimes, scoring goals is so simple, as long as you appear in the right place at the right time, he will come!
