When referee Sarr blew the whistle for the end of the game, the big screens in the stands on both sides of the San Siro stadium were still replaying a clash that had just started eight minutes into the game.
This clash directly led to Liverpool's players chasing the referee to protest, and the players from both sides almost clashed fiercely, and this decision was also considered by everyone to affect the whole game, especially for Liverpool, who were playing away.
To trace the decision, it should start with Gattuso breaking the ball and handing it to Kaka, the Brazilian dribbled the ball through the middle, his big stride dribbling forward to tear apart Liverpool's central defence, Gilardino immediately pulled the attention of the defender for Inzaghi, and the Brazilian also dribbled straight behind him in a high-speed dribble.
Vidic followed Inzaghi to keep retreating, but he always blocked between Inzaghi and the goal, especially when he saw the ball coming, he was stuck in a favorable position in advance, but just when Inzaghi rushed towards Vidic, the Italian striker suddenly fell to the ground.
Perhaps it was the counter-attack that came too quickly and suddenly, as referee Sarr arrived when Inzaghi fell to the ground and was shouted at by the Liverpool players, pointing straight to the penalty spot and showing Vidic a red card, believing that the Serbian and Montenegro centre-back had been a tactical foul.
However, throughout the game, countless slow-motion replays did not show enough evidence to prove that Vidic had any aggression or pulling action against Inzaghi, as the on-site commentator said, "Maybe there was a real foul, but this foul must have been extremely secret, and even the camera from multiple angles could not be captured, but it was seen by the referee." β
After that, the on-site commentator also teased Big Inzaghi, saying that in the recent Milan derby, Inter Milan central defender Nesta said when evaluating Big Inzaghi.
"The striker I'm most afraid of is my teammate Ronaldo, who is a striker who doesn't belong to the planet, and in second place is Inzaghi, because I don't know what he's going to do, but I know that he can fall at any time, so I have to defend him, but I have to concentrate and be ready to hold him up."
Perhaps, Vidic just didn't concentrate enough to hold on to Inzaghi.
The main central defender was sent off, Liverpool played with one less man throughout the game, and AC Milan took the lead from the start, both the game and the situation were very bad for Liverpool.
"Although Liverpool lost this game, although they had one less person in the whole game, they were still ahead of AC Milan in terms of possession, 45% to 55%, the number of shots on goal was 13:14, and the pass success rate was also 73% to 77%, judging from this series of data, Liverpool's performance throughout the game was more active and positive than AC Milan."
"But the loss of one player, the impact on the team can be said to be fatal, at least Liverpool seems to have the initiative, but they still can't break through AC Milan's goal, but Kaka sneaked up on a counterattack, and finally hated the San Siro Stadium 0:2, which is also a rare victory for Ancelotti against Yang Cheng."
There is no doubt that although there is a bit of pathos, Liverpool's road to defending the title is no longer favorable, losing 0-2 away, returning to Anfield will have to play AC Milan by at least two goals, and if they are scored by the Rossoneri, they will have to score more goals, which is undoubtedly a very, very difficult thing, especially against AC Milan.
You know, AC Milan is second only to Juventus in Serie A this season, the best and most outstanding team, Ancelotti's adjustment and run-in of the players in the back line this season has created a very stable backline that is not young, but experienced, and very stable, which is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to Liverpool's reversal.
In the Champions League, who would dare to say that they can score 2 goals against a Serie A team without being scored?
Especially a team like AC Milan, which is very sharp in its own right.
But surprisingly, Liverpool's players did not feel depressed at all because of this game, and they all looked confident when they were interviewed by reporters in the comprehensive interview area.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
'Yes, it was definitely a misjudgment, I can guarantee that Vidic didn't have any fouls, Inzaghi fell to the ground on his own initiative, but unfortunately, the referee is the biggest on the football field, I won't say anything about referees, it's taboo, I know.' β¦,
When interviewed, Gerrard, who was wearing the captain's armband, looked serious, but his eyes were determined, without the slightest flicker, and he didn't seem to feel lost because he lost the game.
"Do you feel disappointed to lose this game because of such a miscalculation?" A reporter asked.
Gerrard nodded, "There will definitely be disappointment, but I don't think we've lost the game, it's the knockout round, it's only the first half, we're in Istanbul, we faced Juventus, we lost three goals in the first half, we were able to win it back in the second half, it's nothing now." β
After a pause, the captain of Liverpool spoke into the microphone and said with a serious face: "I believe that not only our players, but also the fans must have confidence in us, you see, our fans are singing our team song in the stands, and they are still supporting us, just like that night in Istanbul." β
"We're going to make it to the finals!"
In a similar vein to Steven Gerrard, vice-captain Carragher was also very confident and aggressive.
'It's a shame we lost this game, but I promise that when we go back to Liverpool, back at Anfield, we're going to get our revenge, we're going to reverse AC Milan, we're going to let the guys who don't want us in the final see us in the final!'
"I can swear that Nemanja definitely didn't make a move, he was already stuck in the most advantageous position, and in his situation at the time, it was impossible for Inzaghi to break through his defense, so why did he have to make those small moves?"
The centre-backs generally make small moves to interfere with the attacking players, and when they are already firmly defended, small actions are undoubtedly redundant, and can even be said to be stupid.
'We all know that there are strikers who are very good at using the referee's standard of attacking tactics, they are very good at creating some illusions, they take the initiative on the pitch, we as defenders we can't do anything about it, I'm sure that's how Nemanja is feeling at the moment, we can't even tell.
"AC Milan won, but I don't think it's an honourable thing, and back at Anfield, we're going to make their win, and the cleverness of some of them, a laughing stock for everyone in the world!"
The implication is that as long as we Liverpool can qualify, it's useless for you to do anything.
In addition to the two captains, other players also said in interviews that the 0:2 defeat is not the end of the world, and Liverpool has enough strength and confidence to reverse AC Milan at home.
After the interview, all the Liverpool players, led by captain Steven Gerrard, went to the underside of the stands where the Liverpool fans were and greeted the fans in the stands to thank them for coming all the way to the away stadium.
Not far away, AC Milan's players were celebrating their 2-0 win over the unbeatable Liverpool, and the fans at the scene gave them a lot of cheers, because Yang Cheng was the one they hated the most.
"Make them laugh and make them happy!" Gerrard glared at the scene that was happening right under his nose and gritted his teeth, "They must be as happy now as they are living in heaven, it doesn't matter, folks, back at Anfield, we're going to drag them from heaven to hell and make them cry without tears!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"I was polite, without any provocation and without any intention of targeting anyone......"
At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng faced all the reporters very calmly and rationally, talking about the red card and penalty shortly after the opening, "I just hope that the UEFA referee committee can take a good look at the slow motion, or understand the situation at that time, if they still think it is a red card and a penalty, then I have nothing to say!" β
The Chinese people are very restrained, and he is no longer as straightforward as he was back then, because he knows that straightforwardness has no effect.
Is it useful to bombard the referee now?
Mourinho was also awarded a penalty when facing Barcelona, and after the game, he bombarded the referee Hauge, and was almost banned by UEFA for the second leg. β¦,
This in itself is an unfair contest, Yang Cheng can not care, but he can't gamble with the player's efforts and expectations for a season, and he can't fight without scruples in order to vent the resentment in his heart, which is a very irresponsible behavior.
But that doesn't mean he's going to give in, he'll choose something else, more polite, but no less effective, to put pressure on UEFA.
'It's a Champions League semi-final and there's a penalty like this, I'm sure it's not just Liverpool, it's going to be incredible for fans all over the world, he can give a penalty but he shouldn't give a red card, and I'm sure everybody in the world has their eyes on it and they can see what is going on.
"We will appeal through formal channels, and I still firmly believe that UEFA will deal with this matter openly and fairly, and give us a fair answer and explanation."
'2-0 is not the end of the world, at Anfield we can beat any team by a big score, and if AC Milan thought that a 2-0 win was already in their hands, then unfortunately they would have been disappointed because they would find that what awaits them at Anfield is a stronger than ever Liverpool team with a desire to win.'
After a pause, Yang Cheng looked disdainful and smiled, full of mockery, and he didn't know whether he was mocking certain institutions or his opponents.
"On the football field, it is the player's performance that determines the outcome of the game, and in addition to the state and strength that affects the player's performance, there is also an element that cannot be ignored, that is, will, and in Liverpool, we never lack willpower, we do not lack fighting spirit, we do not lack fighting spirit, and we will never give up, so what we are afraid of is always our opponent!"
After taking a deep breath and easing his emotions, Yang Cheng stood up, as if he was about to leave the scene early, but he smiled.
"Platini said that if Liverpool win the Champions League again, he will eat the ball, unfortunately I never responded, and now my response has come, although it is a little late, but I believe it should be timely."
When he said this, all the reporters in the entire press conference hall gathered together.
Yang Cheng supported the main table with both hands, facing all the reporters in front of him, very serious, "If we can't win the Champions League this season, I ......" He pointed to his chest, "Cut the ball on the spot and swallow it!" β
Everyone in the press conference hall was in an uproar, and everyone didn't expect that Yang Cheng would make such a promise and guarantee in front of everyone, which was an excellent hype gimmick.
"Mr. Yang Cheng, why do you dare to make such a response?"
"What is it that makes you feel so confident?"
"Are you deliberately bluffing?"
The reporters asked questions one by one, but Yang Cheng smiled, "I have confidence in my players, they have never let me down, and this time it was the same." β
After finishing speaking, Yang Cheng made a farewell gesture to Ancelotti and left the press conference hall early.
From beginning to end, Yang Cheng did not directly attack any institution or anyone, but his appeal and response were very powerful.
Considering his influence among fans and sponsors, his appeal will definitely be taken seriously and responded to by UEFA.
Yes, perhaps in the eyes of an industry leader, it is a terrible thing to let the same team successfully defend the title, for example, Formula 1 cars have been forced to reform constantly, almost all of them against Ferrari, because of the fact that Ferrari's long-term monopoly on the championship has greatly reduced its commercial value.
The problem is that if the team is really strong, like Ferrari at the Formula 1 circuit, almost absolutely powerful, then no obstacle can stop them from reaching the pinnacle of success.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
AC Milan is one step closer to Paris!
The Rossoneri book a ticket to Paris!
Yang Cheng appealed against the red card and penalty kick, and UEFA said it would take it seriously!
2 goals defeated San Siro, but Liverpool is more confident! β¦,
Caesar gambled on the second leg: If I can't win the Champions League, I'll swallow the ball!
β¦β¦
On the second day of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the world paid a lot of attention to the match that took place at the San Siro, because Liverpool were undoubtedly considered by many to be unjustly convicted and wrongly convicted by a red card and a penalty shortly after the opening.
Media and television outlets around the world are studying the footage before and after the red card incident, and even Sky TV has taken out all the footage from different cameras, slowing it down and comparing it frame by frame, but even so, they still can't see if there has been any contact or pull between the two bodies of Vidic and Inzaghi.
"It seems that Sal's eyes are really sharper than the camera, he sees almost everything that happens!"
Vidic also spoke to the media after the game, saying that he was in the best position, "I don't really know why he fell to the ground all of a sudden, maybe he tripped over something, maybe the turf under his feet slipped, maybe ...... There could be a myriad of reasons, but I don't think I had physical contact with him in any of them! β
Yang Cheng also supported his disciples, "Vidic is an honest man, he said no, then there must be no, I believe that UEFA will give a fair and just decision, but I believe that after this incident, Vidic will gain a valuable experience, at least he will have more eyes when facing forwards in the future." β
"Some of the strikers are very fragile, their legs are very weak, they can easily fall to the ground all at once, we have to be careful!"
In addition to Yang Cheng's strong support, his former disciple, Inter Milan's main central defender Lucio, also made a statement in support of Vidic, "I believe he is innocent, and some guys who always want to use this way to cheat penalties should be punished the most." β
Even within AC Milan, Ancelotti was asked by reporters about the penalty at the post-match press conference, after Yang Cheng left, and he also said that he did not see it clearly, "Maybe that penalty is doubtful, but this should not be called a scandal, at least we scored the second goal in addition to the first goal." β
It's clear he's opted to avoid the big and talk about the second leg at Anfield a week later, he says he's confident.
'I don't think too much about it, but I know that at Anfield you have to defend very much and we have to sacrifice some of the individual talent of the players to strengthen our midfield and we could have won in a much easier way.
Ancelotti was straightforward about his tactical ideas, but who could have guessed if he was telling the truth or deliberately setting off smoke bombs?
Ancelotti expressed his satisfaction at the back, with Kaladze highlighting him.
'Obviously, after going through a difficult period, Kaladze has been very satisfying and we're happy to see him show the quality and maturity required of a top defender, and he brings stability to our backline, especially in recent games.
In 2001, Kaladze's brother was kidnapped in his native Georgia, and it was not until not long ago that he received news that his brother had been beheaded by gangsters and had passed away, which even alarmed Berlusconi, and then Kaladze performed very well, and now occupies the position of AC Milan's main central defender, becoming Stam's best partner.
It can be said that Ancelotti's remarks are reasonable and in line with the current situation of AC Milan, but it is not known whether it is real or smokescreen, but it is certain that the second leg will definitely not be so easy.
