72nd unfavorable start

"Alex, what do you think of Jonker?"

"This guy is our big target for today's game, and he's just as dangerous as Kaka, and even more difficult to deal with than Kaka last season." Ferguson wrote and drew on the tactical board, and continued, "Oh, I see what you mean, such a kid really makes me tempted, let's talk about it later, it's not easy to buy him, he's too expensive." ”

AC Milan were quick to come up with an internal penalty decision for Jork to review with his team-mates. Originally, Ancelotti was worried that Jonk would be resistant and unwilling to review. After all, many stars are disgusted with making reviews, thinking that it will be very shameful.

To his surprise, though, Jonk readily agreed.

He didn't know that in Ouyang's old man's house, Joan Ke's review was simply commonplace, and it was not a matter at all?

In addition, although Jonk doesn't think that he did anything wrong, that it was an accident and an innocent disaster, he also knows that this incident will have a bad impact, and what will his teammates think of him? Before the big game against Manchester United, you actually drank and chatted with the manager of Manchester United?!

Although Jonk does his own thing, he is not stupid, and he dares to act.

Of course, it is not excluded that this guy has a bad idea, in the whole team, he Jonk is the youngest, and there is no pressure for such a person to review.

"I apologize to my dear teammates for the bad impact I have had on my case, and I, Jonk, would like to make my sincerest apologies to everyone." Jonker held a piece of paper with his review written on it. He continued, "I'm sad, I've let everyone down for what I've done. It's so bad, it's literal."

Everyone looked at Jonke who was reading this review book strictly, and they all felt amazing, is this Jonke? Where did this kid come from?

"Keep loading!" Ronaldo suddenly laughed.

Sure enough, this guy can't go on.

Jonk threw away the review book and smiled, "No." It's so uncomfortable to keep a straight face. ”

Aha!

Everyone has long thought it strange to see this guy like this. Immediately they all burst out laughing.

"Alright, Jonker, the coach isn't here, you don't have to pretend so hard." Maldini laughed. Well. Jonk reviews the team. It's a matter between the players, the manager isn't there, it's the norm.

"It's not like the coach wants me to do deep introspection." Jonk smiled, he smiled, and sat down on the bench, "Actually, I've summarized this matter. It's just that my luck is too bad. I shouldn't have gone out to dinner with Cristiano Ronaldo, going out to dinner with my rival guys, it's just going to happen! When I go out to eat, I can meet Ferguson, this old man, obviously I don't agree with me. ”

Hearing his words, everyone laughed even harder.

The word 'eight-character incompatibility' has gradually come to everyone's understanding with this incident, which is a very oriental fantasy term. Of course, this is the meaning of the Italian translation, which Jonk has been in all along.

Listening to the laughter in the conference room, outside the conference room, Ancelotti and Tasotti glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.

"I knew it was going to happen." Ancelotti snorted, shook her head, and walked away.

That evening, Manchester United's home match against AC Milan, the first leg of the 2006/2007 Champions League semi-finals, at Old Trafford!

Before the game even started, Old Trafford was already full, this stadium is known as the Theatre of Dreams, and in the whole world of football, there are only three or five stadiums worthy of the title of 'Theatre of Dreams', among which Old Trafford is the most famous.

The camera also gave close-ups in the stands, and this game attracted many dignitaries and celebrities to the scene.

The Prince of Wales of the Commonwealth, F1 drivers Hamilton, Sweet Britney, and the media seats at Old Trafford were also full of voices at this time.

"Manchester United will have to beat AC Milan at home if they want to progress to the final. It's not just about winning, it's about conceding as few goals as possible, preferably without conceding a goal! ”

"I'm more looking forward to what Jonker can do in this game, because if he can score, he will score 14 goals in the Champions League! This will be the player with the most goals in a single season in Champions League history, and he will surpass Altafini! ”

"Cristiano Ronaldo has scored six goals in the Champions League this season, which is less than half of Jonk's, but if you talk about the importance and contribution of the whole team, Cristiano Ronaldo is no worse than Jonk, and more importantly, Manchester United are in better form than Milan, they are in the Premier League, there is no team that can stop them from winning the league."

"That's right, this Manchester United team is more mature and better than last year's Manchester United."

"Cristiano Ronaldo and Jonck, the two of them will decide the progress of the match."

"Don't forget Kaka, never ignore Kaka. He's the best player in football right now. ”

The reporters who entered the media table were full of discussions, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jonker's performance in this match, and who was the best of their age between the two young men, a topic that they were all happy to see.

In the eyes of reporters and fans, this kind of competition between famous stars of the same era, the pride of the sky, and even the competition of fate, seems to be more gimmicky and can make their blood boil more than the competition between the two teams and the duel of grievances and hatreds of a certain team.

In particular, Jonker only needed one goal to be able to set a new record for the most goals scored in a single season in the history of the ZÀO Champions League in this game, becoming the first person in the Champions League in more than half a century!

This kind of mood of witnessing history is exciting, and for a while, many reporters and fans are enthusiastic.

Of course, fans of Manchester United. And journalists in England, who don't want to see this.

This has become this game, and even this season's Champions League so far. In addition to the championship attribution, the biggest gimmick!

The match between Manchester United and AC Milan has attracted worldwide attention, and Chinese fans are looking forward to it, and many fans have stayed up late to watch the game.

A fan who works the night shift finally waits for his boss to leave and runs to a room with a TV. To his surprise, he saw that in the upper right corner of the TV screen, the score column reads: 1:0? Home team Manchester United leads!

He turned his head in surprise to look at his colleague. I found that my colleague was also surprised.

"What's going on? Is Manchester United ahead? It's only been five minutes since the start of the game! He muttered.

'I just went to the toilet to pee and when I came back I saw Manchester United score a goal and I don't know how it got it. This colleague looked frustrated, very depressed that he had missed this goal.

"Manchester United attacked. Cristiano Ronaldo dribbles the ball. He's breaking through, he's getting over, Gattuso doesn't stop him, Maldini comes up, it's over! It's over! Cristiano Ronaldo has several people in a row...... Long shot! Knocked out by Dida...... After-Shoot! Shoot! The ball is in! Another one! Another one! Manchester United lead AC Milan 2-0! This game is completely insane! What an unexpected start! Manchester United scored two goals in a row in the opening game! AC Milan is in crisis! ”

The two fans, who stayed up late to watch the game, looked at each other and fell silent, unable to understand what was wrong with AC Milan and Jonker. In the face of Manchester United, it seems that there is no way to fight back! I was knocked over twice by my opponent at the beginning!

They are not Manchester United fans, nor are they AC Milan fans. They are fans of Jonker and, of course, are more inclined to AC Milan to win because of Jonker.

Boos rang out over Old Trafford and AC Milan went on the attack.

If you only look at this scene, many people must think that Manchester United are behind the score and are being pressed by AC Milan, so the fans of Manchester United will boo.

However, this is not the case.

Ancelotti stood on the sidelines, clasped his hands, and his face was grim!

After only eight minutes of play, AC Milan were 2-0 down!

It was too much of a back-to-back game, with United scoring a goal in the opening four minutes.

How did this conceded goal come about? Milanese people must think that they are too lucky!

Scholes fired a long-range shot and the ball hit Odo's back, there was a change of direction, Dida had pounced on the left, but the ball flew high into the top corner of the other side of the goal, which was the cross between the post and the crossbar, a dead corner in the absolute sense.

Paul Scholes gave United a lucky lead as soon as the game began.

After conceding the goal, AC Milan went on the attack.

Unexpectedly, only three minutes later, Seedorf dribbled the ball in the midfield and was tackled by Evra, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled at high speed, connected several people, shot from a distance, Dida pounced on the ball, and then Rooney made up for the shot, and the football scored an empty goal!

Two to zero!

At this time, when Ancelotti saw Rooney kick the football into the empty goal, his face became extremely ugly, and the game was only eight minutes into play, and he was 0-2 behind?!

This made Ancelotti feel unprepared, AC Milan so far this season, although there has been a brief low ebb in the season, but, overall, the form is quite good, especially in the quarter-finals eliminated Bayern Munich, which made Ancelotti and AC Milan the whole team full of confidence.

This is a big deal because AC Milan have started low and gone high this season, which has boosted the confidence of the players, as well as the coaching staff, including coach Carlo Ancelotti.

It's a dangerous thing!

Although Ancelotti is also a handsome, he has always been careful not to make himself too proud, but this fluttering affection still affects him unconsciously. It affected this team. What's even more terrifying is that Ancelotti and his team are unaware of this kind of pride, overconfidence and self-confidence.

In fact, is AC Milan really that strong?

After the 2006 callgate, the entire Serie A league, including Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio, and many other teams, was essentially weakened.

Well, Juventus was ordered to be relegated, and Juventus supermarkets opened for business, which was supposed to be a great opportunity for AC Milan to replenish their vitality, but. Because the Milanese were still appealing at the time, they didn't know if they could play in the Champions League, which made them slow to make a move. It also lacks fire in attracting stars.

Last summer, AC Milan's only big deal, the acquisition of Jonker in exchange for Shepchenko, also made his fans ecstatic.

However, fans and the media and even some bricks have overlooked the fact that AC Milan brought in last summer. In addition to Jonk, there is only one Gourkuff!

Jonk's signing is great value!

However, Gourcuff has been in Milan since he arrived. With his form plummeting and injuries frequent, his arrival has done little to complement AC Milan's squad.

In midfield. Especially in the area where the centre-backs and the two full-backs are in dire need of addition. AC Milan didn't make a move.

This is a hidden danger!

AC Milan has been at a low point this season, but it is still moving forward, which also hides these hidden dangers.

However, today's match against Manchester United exposed these hidden dangers of AC Milan.

Paul Scholes' goal was lost on the wing of AC Milan. Nani easily broke through Jankulovski on the flank, and the Czech's reflexes and pace clearly couldn't keep up with the young Portuguese youngster. After being broken by Nani. I could only watch as Nani distributed the ball to Scholes, who was unguarded in the middle, and Scholes shot from distance, hit Odoro's body, and changed direction into the net.

This reflex goal, rather than the bad luck of the Milan team, was essentially a problem with AC Milan's defense.

As for the second goal, Cristiano Ronaldo's excellent form is one thing, but the aging of AC Milan's squad is the most fatal reason, if Gattuso is passed by Cristiano Ronaldo, which shows that Cristiano Ronaldo is extraordinary, then it is ironic to let the veteran Maldini, who will turn forty years old in two months, defend Cristiano Ronaldo.

And after Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot was saved by Dida, Rooney, who made up for the shot, easily scored with an empty goal, and Bonella, who was supposed to mark Rooney, was even two meters away next to Rooney!

Originally, Ancelotti's wishful thinking was that Nesta could play, so it was a curb for these young people in the Manchester United team, but Nesta, who was injured for a long time, had problems in the warm-up, and Ancelotti could only helplessly let the unreassuring Bonella. No, something went wrong.

This conceded goal made Ancelotti helpless and angry!

The poor start of the opening 0-2 also made him realize that the situation was not good.

Seeing the two goals conceded by the team, Ancelotti also realized what the problem was, he knew that the problem was at the back, and also realized that the problems of the aging squad and the lack of bench depth that he ignored or selectively ignored exploded.

But now, what can we do if we know what the problem is?

He could not pray that God would grant him a resurrected Nesta at this moment, nor could he pray that Maldini would be ten years younger.

He still has to rely on these guys on the field.

It's not too late to make amends, but now I don't even have a chance to make amends.

Carlo Ancelotti stood in the command area on the sidelines of the pitch, his face grim as he considered the worst possible outcome for his team.

The more I thought about it, the colder I became. This old and unreliable backline is really not good, Maldini has a good experience, but in the face of Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani and Rooney, these young assaults, can't bear it! I really can't bear it!

Bonella can't be reassuring.

Faced with such a bad start, in the face of the current bad situation, Ancelotti must do everything in his power to come up with a solution. Otherwise, the situation will only worsen.

'The game was a surprise to most people, with just eight minutes into the game and Manchester United at home taking a two-goal lead. AC Milan looked a little flustered, and even their manager Carlo Ancelotti didn't say anything. The players on the field were also hit by these two goals. If there was some surprise in the first goal, the second, Cristiano Ronaldo's excellent form and Rooney's brilliant goal, was a big blow to the Italian giants. ”

"It looks like AC Milan are in big trouble. If they don't manage to score a goal, it's a very bad situation, and given the current situation, it's not impossible for United to score again. ”

Jonk looked helplessly at the scoreboard on the big screen at Old Trafford. The whole team was indeed a little stunned, and everyone was still very confident about this game before the game, but. No one would have thought of conceding a goal at the beginning, or even being scored twice by the opponent at once!

For this semifinal first leg, Jonk and his teammates are full of confidence and hope. The greater the hope, the greater the contrast and the greater the impact in the face of such a bad start.

Furthermore. Many Milan players believe that the current bad situation is not the result of their own lack of strength. It was because of an accident. They thought Paul Scholes' first goal for United was an accident.

Think you're out of luck. I don't think luck is on my side.

This kind of situation affected the whole team, and soon the second goal came to the whole team, which was a further blow to the whole team, a heavy chisel blow.

Kaka passes the ball to Jork. Jonk is under Ferdinand's mark. There were no too good chances, he controlled the ball at his feet, his eyes looked into the box, and he seemed to pass the ball.

Sure enough, Jonker pulled the ball sideways and then made a pass.

Ferdinand had been watching Jonker's movements and saw that Jonk was about to pass the ball. He turned sideways.

However, Ferdinand immediately saw the smile on Jonker's lips.

"Fooled?!" Ferdinand was shocked.

Really. Jonker was supposed to pass the ball, but it turned into a shooting action!

Bang!

The ball hit Ferdinand's left leg and flew off the line.

Jonk looked at Ferdinand lying on the ground in surprise, just now, he almost thought that he had deceived Ferdinand, but, unexpectedly, at that time, Ferdinand reacted quite quickly, and in an almost impossible situation, he swung his body over, stretched out his left leg, and blocked his own shot.

"Corner! AC Milan won a corner and Rio Ferdinand knocked the ball off the line. Jonk won a corner for the team, which was not bad! The narrator praised.

Jonk must have been depressed if he could have known what the narrator was saying. Because, Jonker knew that this time, he was still slightly inferior, and Ferdinand successfully defended him!

Jonk held out a hand and pulled Ferdinand up.

"You're amazing." Jonk.

"My mission today is not to let you score." Ferdinand laughed too, gasping for air. In fact, Ferdinand was not easy at all, he almost let Jonk succeed just now, and if he allowed Jonk to shoot with his feet in the box, everyone can imagine how dangerous it would be.

"I guess you're going to be disappointed. You won't be able to do this. Jonk cracked open and laughed.

Yesterday at the bar, he and Ferdinand had a drink, and they knew each other, so this is quite polite, well, with a smile when he speaks, it's not like before, when facing others, he is murderous.

Corners will be invaluable to AC Milan, who have been unable to open up the game for a long time, but at the same time, they will have to guard against Manchester United's counter-attack.

Manchester United were quite quick on the counter-attack, especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, the two Portuguese were very fast, and it only took a dozen seconds to dribble the ball from the back to the front.

Maldini and Ambrosini both went up to fight for the header, while Odor and Jankulovski, as well as Gattuso and Bonella, stayed behind to defend.

This is also the time to set up the tactics before the game. Ancelotti gave a special explanation. Be sure to be mindful of Manchester United's counterattack.

And now, AC Milan has fallen behind Manchester United 0-2, and the defense at the back is even more important, if Manchester United score another goal and become 0-3, it will be really terrible.

Andrea Pirlo drove a corner away and didn't pose much of a threat to Van der Sar's goal, Maldini and Ambrosini didn't get to the ball and Jonker was behind again, but he couldn't get it on the back of the net either, because Ferdinand had already jumped up and headed the ball out before he did.

After successfully pushing the ball out, Ferdinand also glanced at Jonker, meaning: Boy, how do you feel?

However, he found that Jonker was not paying attention to him at all, much to Ferdinand's displeasure, as if he had suffered an internal injury.

As Ancelotti expected, United successfully defended the corner and launched a quick counter-attack. Jonker also got up from the ground and ran back, he had to get back to the center circle, ready to meet his teammates and fight back! As for Ferdinand, of course Jonker remembers that he wanted to disappoint Ferdinand, but he doesn't care too much, he has fought against many masters, and Jonker's mentality is already different now, and he won't have too wonderful feelings about someone.

The Reds were quick on the counter-attack, but thankfully AC Milan were prepared for it, and this time, Odor managed to break the ball from Nani's feet at the back.

Otto passes the ball to Bonella.

After Bonella received the ball, he wanted to take two steps forward, which was a big mistake, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly grabbed it, Bonella hastily cleared, and the football hit Cristiano Ronaldo, leaned to the side, and landed right at the feet of Rooney.

Rooney seemed unprepared for this surprise, and was about to stop the ball and subconsciously break forward, but his dribble was stopped by Gattuso.

Gattuso blocked the ball and AC Milan immediately switched from defending to attacking. (To be continued......)
