Yes~~

When the Liverpool fans in the stands at Anfield let out a shout of excitement, Carlo Ancelotti was also on the sidelines, and his heart hung up, especially when he couldn't help but walk out of the away team's dugout and onto the sidelines, Carrick had already completed a trademark long ball from the back.

From attack to defense, Liverpool's strongest and most domineering attack is surging.

But this time, Maldini desperately grabbed ahead of Drogba and cleared the ball with a header, defusing a dangerous attack from Liverpool and relieving Ancelotti.

Let Drogba grab the first point in the box, and they will be greeted by Liverpool's almost unreasonable attack.

"*** madman!" Ancelotti cursed in his heart.

Sometimes he really can't understand why Yang Cheng is always able to attack so desperately?

Is it because he has enough confidence in his team? Or is he just so desperate and stress-free?

For this kind of analysis of the inner matter, Yang Cheng could not talk to Ancelotti at all, and the latter naturally had no way to know.

"Ivan, look at the right side more!" Ancelotti walked out and reminded the disciple who had just had an intimate hug with Yang Cheng before the game, and he really had a very absurd feeling at that time.

Without Gattuso, AC Milan's current football can't play at all, but the problem is that the defensive titan that Ancelotti relies on the most is Yang Cheng's proud disciple, and even told the media directly before that the coach he respects the most is Yang Cheng.

Perhaps, if Ancelotti had the good character of not forgetting to dig the well, he would be ashamed of his hostility to Yang Cheng, but it is clear that he did not.

The pace of attack and defense on the pitch is fast, Liverpool launched an attack from the beginning, AC Milan is as Yang Cheng expected, more hope to be able to control the football, Ancelotti's strategy is, since I am swaying between attack and defense, it is better for me to control it, stabilize the situation, and it depends on the situation.

But this mind was disrupted by Liverpool from the beginning, because Liverpool obviously wanted to be fast.

I'm fast, are you fast? If it's not fast, I'll fight slow with fast!

As a result, in the first few minutes, both sides were attacking and defending at a fast pace.

"We don't look excited enough!" Tasotti said with a frown.

Ancelotti nodded, the excitement not physically, but mentally.

Slow heat has always been a big problem for AC Milan, and it has a lot to do with the fact that they have so many old players in their squad, many of whom are already in professional chemistry and although experienced, they are much inferior to young players in terms of passion for the game.

"Stabilize the situation first!" Ancelotti couldn't do anything about it either.

But as soon as he said this, Liverpool suddenly picked up speed.

…………

…………

It had only been 10 minutes into the game, but Cafu was already out of breath, and the size of a bean's sweat slipped down his face and fell onto his shirt, which was already soaked and clung to his back.

The Brazilian captain is 35 years old, looking at those Brazilian players, how many can still play the main role in a top giant like AC Milan at the age of 35?

He is proud and proud of himself to be able to do this, and at the same time, he is also working for a ticket to the World Cup to Germany, which makes him conscientious in every game.

But the problem is that there are things that you can't stop by maintaining self-discipline, hard work and diligence.

For example, physical fitness, such as age, such as peak form!

≯ At the peak of his time, Cafu was able to insert assists and become a winger, but he was also able to come back in time, sprint dozens of meters in the shortest time, and return to his own defense area to participate in the defense.

But now, he can still move forward and still participate in the attack, but he can't come back in time like before, and he can't actively devote himself to defense as before, because after running dozens of meters, he has to take a breath first.

A lot of people criticized him for being lazy, big-named, and not thinking about defense anymore.

In fact, he was more than capable of doing it, he wanted to, but couldn't.

Some things are lost unconsciously, you don't know when it left you, you don't know if it will come back, and you don't know what will become of you when you lose it. ,

Only when you stand on the football field, when you look at it with your own eyes, this passionate young man in front of you, do you realize that I am old!

Oh, by the way, what's his name?

For a while, Cafu's mind was a little blank, he couldn't think of Robben's name, and he didn't know when Robben and Xiao Luo quietly completed the swap and ran to the right side, and he suddenly couldn't turn around.

The instinctive reaction is to think, to think about who he is and what technical characteristics he has.

Soon, he thought about it.

Arjan Robben, Dutch, left-footed ......

This frightened him, because he was still defending Xiao Xiaoluo's position, more of a defensive way of blocking the inward cutting angle, which is not equivalent to leaking the gap on the left?

Cafu reacted, but Robben didn't give him time, after Reese stepped forward, Carrick's ball came to his feet, and the latter sent it forward, Robben used a very simple dangle to deceive Cafu, and the whole person rushed along the left side to the bottom line.

In the box, Drogba had already carried Stam on his shoulder, and the Ivorian had the physicality he was most proud of, and the Dutchman desperately tried to squeeze him, only to find that the monster was like a mountain.

Maldini had to block it because Cafu had been passed and he had to block Robben's angle to the middle and not let him enter the box casually, so the area around the back post became a one-on-one battle between Drogba and Stam.

Robben quickly came to the edge of the penalty area, Maldini guarded him, but Robben made a sharp stop, suddenly accelerated to the bottom line, and passed a quick half-high ball before the bottom line, past Maldini's foot, and went directly to the front point.

Who is there?

Gerrard!!

Seeing that Gerrard didn't stop all the way from behind, he rushed directly into the AC Milan penalty area, directly facing Robben's cross, and seeing that Dida was about to attack, he didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't care about whether he would hit the post if he jumped out like this, anyway, he flew straight away without any scruples.

At this moment, countless people saw this scene, Gerrard flew and crashed into the incoming ball, Dida was halfway through the shot, suddenly stopped, and made a save, but the ball slid past his right side and drilled into the goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLL！！！”

"Steven Gerald's Leap to the Top!"

"The 11th minute, the 11th minute!" The on-site commentators were a little carried away, because no one expected that Liverpool would pull back the score so quickly, which was a sudden blow!

"It's too fast, Liverpool's whole counterattack is too fast, AC Milan's old back line has been completely broken!"

"Neither Cafu nor Maldini could stop Robben, especially Cafu, who easily let Robben get the ball and pass him, but he could only watch Robben pass by and could not do anything, which is really surprising."

Gerrard, who scored the goal, fell to the grass, but as soon as he started, he jumped up from the ground.

Teammates around him rushed to celebrate the goal, but Gerrard rushed straight into the goal, picked his goal out of the goal line, and ran quickly towards the midfield.

'There's nothing to celebrate, we're still behind, we're going to keep scoring and keep scoring more!'

Gerrard's move surprised his teammates, but they all understood that although the score was back to 1-1, it was Liverpool's home stadium and AC Milan couldn't be given a chance to score, otherwise, everything would be over.

Running all the way to the midfield, Gerrard held the ball in one hand and stretched out his index finger in the other, coiling over his head, as if to say: Liverpool fans in the stands at Anfield Stadium, let your cheers and your enthusiasm come more violently!

Liverpool fans immediately gave a great reward to the captain's request, and tens of thousands of Liverpool fans in the stadium frantically shouted Gerrard's name, and they all rushed to the fence one by one, shouting and cheering.

One by one, the Liverpool players returned to their positions and waited for AC Milan's kick-off.

That battle is terrifying.

"It's so scrappy, Gerrard, the soul of the Liverpool team showed a very good fighting spirit in this game, he almost represents the spirit and tradition of Liverpool, he knows and understands better than anyone how important it is for Liverpool to reach the final." ,

On the sidelines, Dalglish and Ian Rush jumped and shouted with excitement, only they could understand what it meant to them to reach the Champions League final again, and they would even give everything they had to get their tickets.

"With this goal, and with his actions after the goal, I am absolutely and absolutely convinced that Gerrard will go down in the history books of Liverpool and become one of the greatest stars in Liverpool history!" Alan Hansen said excitedly as he commented on the broadcast in England.

For Liverpool at this moment, Gerrard's goal is no longer just a goal.

…………

…………

Liverpool, who had scored the lead, began to play fiercely.

The Reds have never been the kind of team that is soft and soft, and Liverpool has always been the kind of hard stubble that gets stronger when it comes to the strongest, so when Gerrard scored, Liverpool's momentum was suddenly stimulated, and the team's attack became more courageous and ferocious than before the opening.

When AC Milan faced Liverpool's crazy attack, the Rossoneri couldn't find an effective way for a while, and could only be forced to start shrinking the defense and being pressed by Liverpool.

But even so, AC Milan's goal still looks precarious.

In the 16th minute, Ronaldo returned to the left again, forced a break through Cafu, passed the ball into the box, Drogba headed back, Gerrard cut in the back, and volleyed near the penalty spot, but the ball was slightly high, hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Just five minutes later, it was Liverpool's wide break down the flank, Robben broke through Kaladze on the right and crossed low into the box, Drogba volleyed from 16 yards in front of goal, but it was just wide of the goal, squandering a very good chance to score.

Seeing that such a close-range shot didn't hit the target, Yang Cheng was really speechless about Drogba's shooting skills, can't this guy be accurate? Or is it that he has watched so many shooting action highlights in the past two years, and it has no effect on him at all?

Seeing Liverpool chasing hard, AC Milan quickly stabilized the situation after experiencing chaos, and Yang Cheng also had to let the players slow down their offensive and start to look patiently for opportunities, but the pace of the game remained at the level of the Premier League.

Davies, Gerrard and Carrick have done a good job of cutting AC Milan's midfield, especially Davies, after the Dutch Boar returned from injury, the performance is obviously better than Essien, but the Dutchman is not young, but Essien is in the shaping period, so Davies is Liverpool's present, and Essien is the future of the team.

With him looking at Rui Costa, Yang Cheng was very relieved.

…………

…………

With a score of 1:0, the two sides returned to the locker room.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Neither side made any substitutions, nor did they improve their tactics in the first half, even when AC Milan's right side Cafu was broken up by two Liverpool wingers, Carlo Ancelotti did not make any substitutions.

It's no wonder, because the current AC Milan players on the right side, whether it is Simic or Pancaro, are honestly inferior to Cafu, the former's existence just proves once again how correct Yang Cheng was to sell him to his sworn enemy, while the latter proves that age is not the same as the criterion for the decline in form.

Because Pancaro is a year younger than Cafu, but in fact his form has slipped faster than Cafu.

But it wasn't until the start of the second half that AC Milan once again felt the horror of Liverpool's attack.

Carlo Ancelotti reminded his players in the dressing room that Liverpool would definitely launch a more aggressive attack in the second half and put a lot of pressure on AC Milan, but they never imagined that Liverpool would put so much pressure on them.

From the start of the second half, they continued to follow the tactics of the first half, actively looking for attacking opportunities, as if they were still behind in the scoreline, but in reality, the two teams are now back on the same page.

Didier Drogba desperately attacked the AC Milan defence in front, his presence made Maldini and Stam feel what it means to be tired, although his shooting skills seem to be poor, but his tactical execution rate is high, he is full of energy, and he is always moving, which is very demanding for defenders, and there is no room for a moment of negligence.

Ronaldo and Arjen Robben are still attacking AC Milan's two flanks, and they frequently switch positions according to the situation on the field, causing huge problems for AC Milan's defense.

Steven Gerrard is almost everywhere, forward, he can press AC Milan's backline, he can drop back, he can interfere with AC Milan's midfield passes, he is running all the time, infecting Liverpool's players all the time.

Look, the man with the captain's armband, named Gerald, is still running and fighting, what about you?

Sometimes there is a real need for players on the pitch who lead by example, they may not be the best, they may not be the most talented, but they are definitely the most respected.

After a long period of attack, AC Milan's long-planned attack has finally gradually improved.

Although these old and strong guys are not as physically fit as the young people, they are much more experienced than the young people, and they know better what to do when and when.

For example, right now, they're holding on to Liverpool's attack, slowly grinding off your spirit, and then trying to counter-attack.

In the 67th minute, Kaka split the ball to the right side in the middle, Shevchenko pulled the ball behind Rieser to get the ball, forced a breakthrough from the right rib, and entered the Liverpool penalty area, but under the interference of Carragher, who returned to the position in time, Shevchenko's shot was saved by Reina, and the Spaniard showed a good competitive state this time.

AC Milan took a corner and Stam headed over the crossbar in front of the six-yard box.

But this time the counterattack was still very threatening, and it also gave Liverpool a wake-up call.
