266 The Role of Baggio

Baggio stood on the pitch with the shouts of fans from the stands at the Bernabeu on all sides.

This feeling of being in the heart of the whirlpool made his body heat up spontaneously, because during his injury, he really, really missed this feeling, the feeling of playing on the pitch.

When he was injured and worried that he would not be able to play, he even cried in his heart that he was willing to give all his life in exchange for him to stay on the pitch and play a game, or 10 minutes, or even 1 kick.

Because he has been playing football for so many years, he really can't imagine what it will be like if one day, when he can't play football, he can't imagine that he has lost his life in football.

He's 34 years old, and even if he's better, how many games will he be able to play?

Looking at his teammates next to him, they are all in their prime and are accumulating their appearances, but Baggio is afraid to count them, he doesn't even want the newspaper reporter to count his appearances, that number is like a reminder to him, how many games are left in your career.

One kick, one less!

No one will understand that feeling, not even Yang Cheng, whom Baggio respects the most!

But the Chinese understand that Baggio is eager to play, and he has high hopes for Baggio, so he came off the bench for two consecutive games.

Standing in the middle of the Bernabeu pitch and feeling the turbulent waves around him, Baggio's heart calmed down.

"Don't overthink it, just do what you want and just keep enjoying your football!"

This is what Yang Cheng said to him when he walked out of the locker room.

Baggio smiled, he was indeed old enough to enjoy the game.

When Corina blew the whistle for the start of the match, Baggio immediately ran forward.

Real Madrid, who kicked off, immediately sent the ball to the back line and gave it to Hierro, Ruud van Nistelrooy immediately pressed it, Ronaldo also pasted Karanka, and Baggio roamed around Elgra but not too hard.

Sure enough, when Hierro passed to Robert Carlos and the Brazilian was about to dribble forward, he was blocked by Nedved and scrambled down the middle, as Elgra looked like he had no one to defend.

But at this time, Baggio directly pasted it, and Elgra didn't notice Baggio before stopping the ball, and he didn't jam him when he stopped the ball, making Baggio easily cut off the ball.

With this decision, Real Madrid's back line was suddenly chaotic.

After Baggio broke the ball, he stopped Elgra directly behind him with his body, and Ruud van Nistelrooy immediately retreated, and he took the ball forward.

Hierro followed Ruud van Nistelrooy out, but after Baggio passed the ball to Ruud van Nistelro, the Dutchman immediately knocked back, and the ball went straight behind Hierro, a beautiful one-two, Baggio didn't need much acceleration, just chased up, and then a low cross.

Ronaldo had already shaken off Karanka and stabbed home with ease in front of goal to find the back of the net for Casillas.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!”

"Inter Milan just started the second half, and in the 45th minute, Ronaldo scored once!"

"This is the first time Roberto Baggio has touched the ball since he came on the pitch to form a tackle, and then he and Ruud van Nistelro's one-two cooperation, it seems so skillful, so tacit understanding, Hierro is like a stake by him bypassed, the whole process looks slow, but Real Madrid has no one to return to the defense."

Slow, represents calmness, represents elegance, and represents the temperament of Robert Baggio!

"It's so beautiful, it's so exciting!" The on-site commentators couldn't help but shout.

'Elgra, who had been brilliant in the first half, made a mistake that he didn't deserve, he was careless and didn't take Baggio into account, who ghostly tackled the ball and took the ball himself to launch a counter-attack.

"Inter's fearsome attacking trident from last season and at the beginning of this season has finally come back to life, and we see that Baggio is back in as good form as ever after a serious injury!"

After setting up Ronaldo's goal, Baggio was hugged excitedly by the Brazilian.

I have to admit that although Baggio does not have Nedved's diligence, Nedved's pressure and aggression in the front, and even he does not have Nedved's ability to insert attacks in the back row and shoot from outside the penalty area, he has a spirit and wisdom that the Czechs and even the rest of the Inter Milan team do not have. ,

This belongs to Baggio and no one else can replace it!

"This ...... That's a goal? Paul Beyer was pleasantly surprised, even a little incredulous.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Football, it's actually that simple!" ”

The two of them gave each other a heavy high-five, and then they both laughed.

In the absence of a score, Yang Cheng did not celebrate, but instead walked to the sidelines and signaled the players to continue to press the attack.

…………

…………

In the 49th minute, Real Madrid was cut off after restarting, Inter Milan launched an attack, Zambrotta inserted on the left, and after cooperating with Baggio who came over, broke through Salgado, crossed from the bottom, and scored with a header in the box from Ruud van Nistelrooy in the middle.

This time, Casillas was in a solid position, keeping the ball firmly in place and keeping the ball in the back of the net.

But only 1 minute later, Zanetti on the right side of Inter Milan stepped forward to cross diagonally into the penalty area, Casillas abandoned the goal, and when he picked up the ball from mid-air, he was interfered with to a certain extent and actually got out of his hand, but Elgra, who was back on the defensive, appeared in time and cleared the ball with a big foot. Three minutes later, Inter Milan launched another attack, Zambrotta was very active on the left, Figo barely interfered with him too much, so that he could insert and Baggio again, Ronaldo won the ball on the left side of the goal and volleyed, the angle was too square, and it was directly confiscated by Casillas.

In the 55th minute, Nedved and Baggio linked, the Czech crossed from the right side, Ronaldo volleyed in the penalty area, but failed to hold the ball down, and the ball touched the crossbar and went out of bounds.

One minute later, Baggio crossed from the left and Nedved's shot from outside the box turned into an anti-aircraft gun.

For a full 10 minutes, Inter Milan's attack was wave after wave, especially when the team was in full swing.

The advantages of having a Baggio and not having a Baggio are reflected here, and Baggio knows very well when and where he should run, which others cannot learn.

Although Nedved has a large range of running, he is not as good as Baggio in terms of running intelligence.

…………

…………

Yang Chengzhuo stood on the sidelines, his expression looking grim.

Although the situation turned around after the second half, Inter Milan completely turned the situation around, proving that his midfield adjustment worked, but the situation is still not optimistic, after all, this is the Bernabeu Stadium, facing Real Madrid, and this team must not be allowed to adjust.

Seeing Paul Beyer walking back, Yang Cheng hurried up and asked, "How is it?" ”

"The Real Madrid players are almost as fit, especially Carlos on the left!" Paul Beyer reported immediately.

"According to the analysis, in the 10 minutes of the second half, Robert Carlos ran 25% shorter than in the first half, especially in the last few minutes, it seems that his fitness can no longer keep up!"

Real Madrid also have a league game to play in No.1, and the likes of Robert Carlos have also played this game, which means that they have played two more games in quick succession after two weeks of international competition, so it is not surprising that they are not fit enough.

"Then I wouldn't mind giving him another ride!" Yang Cheng smiled slightly.

Walking to the sidelines, Yang Cheng waved his hand at Zanetti, and the Argentine immediately ran over.

"You press forward, go to the midfield and play right midfield, or even right winger, and the focus is on Robert Carlos's side, let Nedved cooperate with you and kill him directly for me!" Yang Cheng commanded.

The Argentine nodded immediately, turned around and returned to the pitch, conveying the manager's intentions.

Soon, the Inter Milan players knew about the manager's adjustments, Lucio and Zambrotta began to reduce the number of times they moved forward, and Inter Milan's attack began to consciously tilt to the right, focusing on the left side of Real Madrid with the help of Zanetti and Nedved, and even Baggio frequently leaned on this side.

For a while, the left side of Real Madrid was in the wind.

…………

…………

'Carlos is clearly struggling and Bosque should have solved the problem as soon as possible, and Inter Milan are clearly aware of this, chasing Real Madrid's frenzied attack down the left.

"Oh, here it is again, it was Zanetti's breakthrough after linking up with Nedved on the right flank, the foul, a foul by Robert Carlos on Zanetti, a free-kick from Inter."

'Baggio took the free-kick but it wasn't very good, he obviously had a lot of drops about the free-kick after his foot injury, and it was a very poor free-kick and Casillas came out with a steady shot to take the ball away. ,

'The Italian looked a little depressed and his team-mates came up to comfort him.'

"But Real Madrid quickly reorganized a wave of attack, still against the left side of Real Madrid, Nedved and Baggio made a one-two, beautiful, passed, Nedved accelerated past Carlos and received the ball ......"

"The Brazilian left-back was desperately chasing after him, but Nedved strode the ball, and in front of him, the entire left side of Real Madrid was unguarded, and Carlos was chasing after him."

Nedved was on the left side of the penalty area, a sudden stop, Carlos thought he was going to cut inside, and immediately followed the emergency stop, but Nedved suddenly accelerated down, used a simplest, but the best speed change pass, directly shook off Robert Carlos, who was catching up, and then before the ball went out of the bottom line, he passed a low flat ball.

Front !!

Casillas was right, and Hierro was right!

But they're all late!

Ruud van Nistelrooy used his body to block Hierro behind him, and fired a low shot directly into the incoming ball, which rolled past Casillas' left side and went straight into the goal, splashing a wave of nets!

"Pretty !!"

"The ball is in! Inter Milan scored again!! ”

"In the 71st minute of the second half, Inter Milan finally continued to work hard and scored another crucial goal!"

"The score is equalized, 2:2!"

"Oh my God, this is an incredible miracle, it's simply an unforgettable Jedi counterattack!"

"When we wait until the end of the game, we must ask the players of Inter Milan what kind of thinking Yang Cheng instilled in them at halftime, so that they can regain their momentum in the second half and score two goals in a row!" "We can see that Inter Milan's attack has completely completed its metamorphosis after Robert Baggio came on the field, although he is not eye-catching, but there is no doubt that he is directly involved in almost all of Inter Milan's attacks, maybe just a run, a pull, a pass, but this is the role of Baggio!"

"We have to admire Yang Cheng's wisdom and courage, he was so unfavorable in the first half, in the second half he found a way to crack the attack of Real Madrid, decisively made substitution adjustments, and pulled back the defeat in one fell swoop, so that the game returned to the starting line, now it is 2:2, but Inter Milan's morale is like a rainbow!"

"Real Madrid were careless, maybe they were already celebrating their victory in advance when they were two goals ahead in the first half, but Inter Milan were preparing for the second half and were completely in control of the situation from the beginning of the second half!"

"It was an amazing 25 minutes, and it was an incredible 25 minutes, Inter Milan were in complete control of the situation on the pitch, playing at home, and Real Madrid, who everyone thought would win easily, are now in a very embarrassing situation and they have to pay for their negligence!"

Yang Cheng celebrated Inter Milan's goal on the sidelines, pulling it back, and the two teams were back on the same starting line.

But he didn't feel satisfied at all, he knew that the players were not satisfied, and it could be seen from their expressions, from their words and deeds, that they were still holding their stomachs in their hearts and needed to vent.

In this case, there is no need for him to speak, everyone knows that at this time he should choose to attack and continue to attack!

That's when Chris Schmidt walked over and reminded him that the second half had been 25 minutes and that "it's time to consider replacing Baggio!" ”

"Damn it!" Yang Cheng scolded.

However, he had to respect Chris Schmidt's professionalism because he had made an assessment based on Baggio's recovery, as well as Jani Nanni's opinion and his recent physical condition.

Today's Baggio is in the run-in period after surgery, which is like a brand new motorcycle, when you first start it, you must drive a little slower, first run in for a while, and wait until it has been run in for a period of time before it can exert its strongest power.

Although no one wants to say it, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Baggio doesn't expect to return to his peak in this life, no matter how hard he tries and how he maintains his form, at best, he can only be like now, in some special games, either as a substitute, or as a substitute, or perform well, and play to the strength of the end of his career, that's all. ,

If Yang Cheng wants Baggio to play for a few more years, it can only be like this, otherwise, if he is overused, then he is not expected to play for long, as Jani Nanni said, his knee injury can recur at any time within 18 months.

As long as he thought of this, Yang Cheng was full of depression, because Baggio returned to his tragic life again, but he would not give up, he would continue to trust Baggio, because he was convinced that Baggio would not admit defeat, just like him!

…………

…………

Yang Cheng is counting the time, and Baggio is also counting the time.

For his previous serious injury, Baggio felt more fatal!

He believes in Buddhism, he believes in the reincarnation of fate, he believes that birth, old age, sickness and death are a process, and he believes that if a person is born and does not face it positively and does not work hard to challenge, then he has died from birth!

So he believes in the Buddha very much, and he meditates and recites sutras at least twice a day, for at least an hour each time, basically outside of training hours, but he can recite sutras at any time, anywhere, in any situation.

It's like he recited the sutra when he was about to play, and he also recited the sutra when Inter scored a goal.

When he was injured, he once asked himself, "Why am I always the one who is injured?" ”

At first, he never figured it out, because he was obsessed, but then Yang Cheng's words woke him up.

A person's life is to keep challenging, constantly fighting, challenging those who are stronger than themselves, and fighting against the difficulties they have encountered, so that life is meaningful.

The philosophy of the Buddha is to challenge, to fight, to be born to challenge, because life is the truth of suffering, and one can only seek enlightenment in constant challenges, gain strength, and avoid getting lost, so that one can attain bliss after death.

This epiphany made him begin to understand the path he was facing, so he began to actively receive treatment and actively carry out rehabilitation training, just to challenge himself.

He succeeded, he finally succeeded in stepping on the green field again, and he gained unprecedented pride and satisfaction!

But he won't stop there, he has to pursue more, because he still has obsessions!

He still has some feelings that he can't let go!

Among them, the heaviest part is the kindness of treating Yang Cheng!

Without Yang Cheng, there would be no Baggio!

But he seemed to be calm, there was no sense of urgency at all, and time seemed to him to have no idea, which made him always know the situation around him very thoroughly.

When Lucio got up and got the ball to Emerson, who slid it straight forward and the ball was at his feet, he knew exactly what to do.

He took the ball, and Makelele was behind him, squeezing him with his body, not letting him turn easily.

But the moment Baggio got the ball, he made a small move to wipe over Makelele, this small action is very subtle and realistic, if you don't pay attention, you may not be able to see it, but once you see it, you must be convinced.

Makelele noticed, so his center of gravity shifted to the left, but Baggio turned to the right and broke through with the ball.

"Fooled!!"

At this moment, such a consciousness flooded Makelle's mind, and his next consciousness was almost instinctive.

Foul!

Stop him!!. )
