38th like a legend

Referee Angela Merkel from Germany blew the whistle for the start of the match.

From the first second, both sides went straight into the game.

There was no warm-up, no temptation, no pretentious feints, from the first second, both sides were fully in the groove, and every attack was aimed at the goal of scoring.

Celtic midfielder Toshiura Nakamura almost opened the scoring after a long-range attempt attempt. Fortunately, Dida's concentration was very focused, and he punched the football out - in the face of such a long-range shot, Dida did not dare to hold it directly with both hands, afraid of letting it go. This is also a shortcoming that restricts Dida from becoming a world-class goalkeeper like Buffon or Kahn, and Dida's biggest problem is that he will get out of the face of the opponent's sudden shots, which also makes him have a nickname of 'butter hand'.

This powerful long-range shot instantly blew up the atmosphere at Celtic Park. The Celtic fans in the stands erupted in loud cheers, and those who didn't know thought the goal had been scored.

Before the game, former Italian national team coach Trapatoni reminded AC Milan that Celtic were not easy to deal with.

"The players there have rough skills, simple consciousness and backward tactics, but they have incomparably strong mental strength, and with the spirit of hard work, they believe that they can defeat Yiqiē."

In fact, as Trapattoni said, the Scots have always relied on their skills to win, not even their physique and strength, as Liverpool coach Shankly once said, football is not a contest of life and death, but a transcendence of life and death. In the eyes of the Celts. Football is all about life and death, so if there's a team that's not ready to fight hard here, then. It's likely that you're going to have to suffer.

'Whether it's Rangers or Celtic, there are a number of Scottish internationals in the squad, a good record in the national team will also drive their results at club level, the players have a lot of self-confidence and they will not be afraid to face the strongest opponents, and tonight's game will prove that!' Scotland's largest media outlet, the Scottish Herald, said this before the game.

Carlo Ancelotti sat in the dugout, with a crowd of Celtic fans behind him. Loud cheers filled every inch of space around him, stirring his eardrums.

The AC Milan manager frowned, English fans are always so crazy. Playing in the UK is never easy.

After the start of the game, Celtic did not be conservative, but frequently put pressure on AC Milan. This even surprised Ancelotti. It dawned on him that what Celtic said before the game seemed to be more than just words, they really intended and were doing, they wanted to win against Milan!

Carlo Ancelotti turned his head to look at the Celtic dugout next door. Gordon. Strachan didn't sit in his place in the first minute after the start of the game, but stayed on the sidelines. From time to time, shouts are heard.

This team really has the same temper as this manager.

In fact, Ancelotti didn't realize it. AC Milan also have a similar temper to their manager, and they don't panic too much even when faced with any situation.

AC Milan is never afraid to run into teams that can't wait to win, or AC Milan likes to meet such teams the most, and they will launch a fierce attack as soon as they come up, bombarding the AC Milan goal, hoping to take the lead with two or three shots on goal.

In that case, AC Milan or Italy's best defensive counter-attack would come into play.

Carlo Ancelotti decided to wait a few minutes to see what Celtic really intended before making a decision.

In fact, in the face of Celtic's offensive posture, AC Milan's starting trident today just has room to play, both Jonk and Kaka are good at counterattacking, even if Ronaldo, who is physically blessed, as long as he breaks out and sprints, it is not something ordinary people can stop.

The game was fast-paced and both sides were tactically aggressive.

AC Milan did not panic in the face of Celtic's attack, and they quickly instigated a dangerous attack.

After Jankulovski broke the ball from McDonald's feet at the back, he played a long ball straight from the back to the front.

Jonk leaped high and swung the ball to the right in front of Naylor, where Pirlo came running.

If you say, who is the most popular among Milan fans in the AC Milan team now, this question will be a little uncertain, with the rise of Jonker, which has greatly impacted the status of the absolute superstar Kaka in the past, coupled with the arrival of Ronaldo, the situation is even more unclear, but if you ask some coaches, who is the most important in the AC Milan team, perhaps, their answer will be Pirlo!

Obviously, Celtic fans also know how good the Italian man is.

Pirlo stopped the ball and immediately burst into boos at Celtic Park, and in some cases, the boos of the opposing fans can indicate the role and status of a player in the team.

Faced with the ball in the air that Jonk pushed back, Pirlo did not stop to stop the ball with his feet, but directly hit the ball forward with his chest, the ball jumped forward, and then Pirlo accelerated and chased after the ball.

Nakamura followed Pirlo, knowing that the Italian wasn't fast, and Nakamura was sure he could catch up and cut off the football. Toshiura Nakamura moved to Celtic from AC Milan and this time faced his old club, the Italian fringe international was very scrappy and vowed to look good with a victory.

Carlo Ancelotti saw Andrea Pirlo rushing forward with the ball and nervously got up from his seat, which was a counter-attacking opportunity for AC Milan......

Gordon. Strachan frowned. Pirlo is a great threat, but he's more worried about the other receivers, the ones who end up delivering the fatal blow, like Jonk and Kaka.

Ronaldo?

Strachan shook his head, and now Ronaldo can't be said to be a cause for concern. However, it is no longer what it used to be, and it has not been long since he returned from injury. The state is simply not comparable to that of his peak, and there is nothing to worry about in this kind of Ronaldo, I am afraid that the former 'alien' should be more worried about his own knees.

So he was first looking for two people, Jonk and Kaka. These two are the biggest threat.

Since he had just started to counterattack, Jonker, who had just given the ball to Pirlo, was still running forward, and someone was following him. It's Scott. Brown.

I saw that following Jonk was Scott. Brown, Gordon. Strachan nodded. He explained before the game, for Jonk. Someone has to follow at all times, and you can't give this person an easy chance to get the ball.

He turned his attention to Kaka for the last time.

Seeing that there was no one following Kaka's side, Gordon. Strachan was furious. He rushed to the sidelines and shouted, "Damn it, watch out for your people." That little Brazilian white face! ”

Fourth officer away from Gordon. Strachan is close. Hearing the head coach say this, he hesitated for a moment, but still didn't go up to warn, after all, you can't help but let the family command the game, although it is rude.

However, Gordon Strachan is thankful that there are no cameras near his location, otherwise his words would have been live-streamed. The Celtics head coach will be dismantled by a lot of Kaka's fans.

Seeing that someone immediately went up to defend Kaka, Gordon. Strachan cursed again.

At this time. On the court, seeing Pirlo with the ball, Nakamura Toshiura quickly followed, and at the same time, his hands were not clean, and he pulled Pirlo's jersey very covertly, Pirlo slapped Nakamura Toshiura's hand, but Nakamura Toshiura's other hand came up again.

Pirlo frowned, he controlled the football, looked up and looked ahead, and saw that Jonk was entangled by McMalus, even if he passed the ball, Jonk might not be able to control the ball.

It was at this point that Nakamura made a move, sticking out his right foot from behind the side with the intention of stabbing the ball at Pirlo's feet.

Nakamura Toshiura thought that he would be able to break the football with this kick, but he didn't expect to save himself, Pirlo seemed to have predicted that he would kick out, and his right foot flicked the football inward in advance, and the football reached the left foot, and then, with a shake of the ankle of the left foot, a pass in the opposite direction, the football went to the left.

There, Jankulovsky came up to pick him up.

Seeing Pirlo dodge Toshiura Nakamura's top grab with such a weightless lift, and passed this beautiful ball, the commentator exclaimed, "The football is like growing on his feet, beautiful balls, it is not an exaggeration to say that Pirlo is the metronome of AC Milan." He was comparing Pirlo to Albertini during the AC Milan dynasty.

After winning the ball, Jankulovsky faced Domby who came up to intercept, suddenly made a sharp stop, and then leaned on Domby, controlled the football at his feet, and suddenly stabbed the football to the left middle, and a red and black figure came up, it was Kaka.

"Kaka! He got the ball. The narrator shouted. The expression is also very much looking forward to, in football games, those high-priced stars are always the most eye-catching, and people have infinite expectations.

The Brazilian star, who was the most vocal player at this year's European Ballon d'Or, showed off his beautiful footwork, first smashing the ball past Hartley who came up to intercept him, then flicking the ball sideways to avoid the turf tackle of Nayler who came up to make up for it, and then pushed the ball towards the goal.

In front of the goal, Ronaldo and McMalus rushed towards the football at the same time, however, to McMalus's surprise, Ronaldo's action was not to shè the goal, but to pass, the 'alien' picked up his right foot, pressed the ball down and passed it at the same time, the football flew to the back of the goal, the football quickly passed in front of the goal, and Boruc could only watch the football roll in front of the goal.

The real killer move is at the back point, where Jonk snaps in and he's in Scott. Under Brown's pressure, he resisted the latter, stuck his position in advance, and faced the ball rolling over, and it was a direct volley!!

The ball was off its feet, it was fast, and it slammed into the net, and Borutz, whose center of gravity had been attracted by Ronaldo, had no time to make a pounce.

AC Milan scored!

And it was a beautiful team goal.

In fact, from Andrea Pirlo counter-attacking with the ball, to his beautiful pass to Jankulovski. The latter crossed, Ronaldo still passed Jīng Miao assist under the pressure of the opponent, and then went to the Jonker shè goal. The ball eventually flew into the goal, and the process was extremely short.

AC Milan counter-attacked at a fairly fast pace.

Seeing AC Milan score, the Celtic fans at home let out a piercing boo, objectively speaking, after the opening, Celtic's table was still quite good, and they even had more shots on goal than AC Milan. Now, however, it was AC Milan who scored the goal. And. Everyone knows that in this game, the first team will have a huge psychological advantage, once they are led by a super strong team like AC Milan. Well for the Celtics. It will be extremely passive, and on the contrary, if Celtic can score first, with the kind of deadly defense of Scottish football, it will really be able to resist AC Milan's attack.

Unfortunately, to the disappointment of Celtic fans, it is now AC Milan who scores goals!

In the midst of huge boos, Zhang Yang ran to Ronaldo. He opened his mouth and yelled in Ronaldo's ear, "Ronnie." Haha, Ronnie. ”

Jonk didn't know what he was going to express, and the young Chinese man only felt that his heart was filled with endless happiness, and his whole heart was full of happiness, like a lot of bubbles flying, and he was crying with pleasure.

Hahaha, it was Ronaldo who gave me the assist, hahaha, we are the best partner now, my partner is Ronaldo, that Ronaldo! Hahaha.

The overlap between his childhood idol and his current partner gave the young man a dreamlike feeling.

While it wasn't a pretty or even crucial goal in Jonker's career, it was one of his most memorable goals.

Ronaldo felt Jonker's excitement, he could feel the joy of his young partner and good friend, Ronaldo also smiled, showing his rabbit teeth, he was also shouting, "Remember what I used to say?" ”

Jonk responded loudly, how could he not remember, how could he forget Jì, the joke that used to be true now has come true, and he responded loudly, "We are the best partners on this planet." Hahaha. ”

"That's right."

Thirty-two-year-old Ronaldo and twenty-one-year-old Jonk both raised their right arms, and in the air, their right hands struck each other with a crisp sound. There were so happy smiles on the faces of the two people.

In front of the TV, many people burst into tears.

Ronnie, you're back.

Jonk, good ball.

It was a memorable goal.

In the twenty-second minute of the game, Pirlo organized the attack, and after Jankulovski went too far, Kaka made a wonderful pass, Ronaldo assisted, and Jonk scored. One to zero. The deadlock on the field was broken.

The Scottish side was down by one goal, but they didn't give up.

"Milan's attack quickly came to a stalemate, and Celtic's defence now looks very solid." Lineker said. 'Wilson was in the box, he went up to defend Jonker and obviously as soon as Pirlo passed the ball to Jonker, Wilson would go up and intercept it.

"Oooo Martin Taylor said Pirlo didn't pass the ball directly to Jonker, though. He paused for the ball.

Gattuso ran from his defensive position, and Pirlo saw him in the gap and immediately passed the football to Gattuso, who came up to pick him up.

Gattuso did not hesitate, and after receiving the ball, he passed the ball directly to Seedorf.

Seedorf did not adjust after receiving the football. Without even observing, he kicked the football again to Pirlo, who was waiting in the middle.

AC Milan's midfielders have been playing together for a few years and their previous cooperation has been a tacit understanding.

McGiddy was staring at Seedorf just now, and originally, he wanted to come up and force Seedorf to turn around and pass back when Seedorf stopped the ball, but he didn't even think that Seedorf passed the football out again without even observing. And it's still very accurate......

After Pirlo stopped the football, he couldn't turn around under Snow's close marking, but Pirlo didn't have to turn around at all, he slammed the ball with his heel beautifully.

Kaka catches the ball and shoots straight at goal!

The ball was blocked by McManus and flew to Ambrosini's feet, who split the ball, inserted Maldini on his chest and stopped the ball, got his right foot up and crossed!

Finally, the scene that everyone was looking forward to came!

The first confrontation between Jonk and Wilson in this game has arrived!

When Maldini passes a high ball into the box. Fans on both sides, reporters in the media seats, commentators in the commentary seats. All eyes wide open, look at the forbidden area!

In front of the door!

Jonk and Wilson come up with a head-to-head confrontation.

Jonk jumped high and he got the ball!

However, Wilson, who was as strong as a cow, proved that he dared to say those big things, and that he was not a wasted person.

Jonker jumped, and as he hit the ball, he felt a tremendous force crashing towards him. This made Jonker, who was already in the air, suddenly very wolf.

Jonk hit the ball though, though. Wilson's interference was unable to form a threatening attack, and his header went over the crossbar.

'AC Milan's attack was beautiful. They work well together up front. In addition, the Italian team's secondary attack was effective, which also gave Celtic a wake-up call. It was the first collision between Wilson and Jonker, and overall, Wilson's defense was reassuring!" Lineker immediately gave praise to Celtics captain Wilson.

After completing this defense, Wilson pounded his chest and roared aggressively.

Jonk gave Wilson a cold look.

Didn't say it, Wilson did guard him this time. Jonk found himself still underestimating Wilson, a Scotsman who was well slotted. The body is very strong, and some small movements are also mastered. It seems that he can be appointed as the captain by the head coach, and he still has some ability.

Next time, though, it won't be that easy!

Jonk is getting more and more combative.

He's the kind of person who, after being frustrated, will be more courageous.

Strachan and his coaching staff looked at each other and smiled. The professor felt that his pre-match deployment had worked, and if he hadn't conceded a goal, it would have been perfect.

"Not bad." Strachan and the coaches looked at each other. Milan withstood the pressure and scored a goal in the opening period, but the Celtic players did not panic and did not get distracted. Wilson also showed the domineering that a captain should have.

Well, well, maybe in Strachan's opinion, Wilson's chest-beating roar after completing this defense is a domineering side leak, that is.

Strachan remembered the scene before the game when he talked to Wilson.

"William, I know you're under a lot of pressure when you become captain." Strachan said to Wilson. He was referring to the media hype about Wilson's deserving captain's armband for the Celtics.

Wilson immediately said anxiously, "I don't have any problems. Wilson clearly understood his mistake and thought Strachan was trying to strip him of the captain's armband. In fact, there are still people in the Celtics team who are also eligible to wear the captain's armband, such as Miller, such as Graveson. ”

Strachan was stunned for a moment when he saw Wilson comprehend what he meant, but he had a new idea, and he continued, "Well, I don't want to interfere with your bet with Jonker, and although I don't like the behavior of my own players, I want to say that in this game, I want you to fight like a man!" Shut up all your critics! Shut them up! You have to tell everyone that you are the captain of the Celts, and even the greatest captain that the Celts have ever seen. It's like Billy. Captain like McNeill! Strachan said seriously.

These words immediately made Wilson so excited that he couldn't help himself, his legs trembled, and he trembled, "Teach...... Coach, can I really do it? ”

Seeing Wilson's expression, Strachan sighed in his heart, could it be that he really looked away this time, but he didn't let Wilson see his feelings, and the professor said with a more serious expression, "You have to believe in yourself!" I can't be wrong with a human eye! ”

Wilson was very moved, "Coach! I won't let you down, Leo men are natural captains! ”

Strachan, "%......%&%"

Back to the game.

"He's done a good job." Strachan's assistant came over and said.

Strachan nodded, his expression proud. "Of course, the captain I personally chosen."

The assistant laughed. "I hope he can be the next Addams!"

Strachan smiled and said nothing, in fact, the professor was muttering in his heart, "Nabilly. McNeil is coming as Wilson's target, will he be under too much pressure......" (To be continued......
