Finally, on May 23, the day of the 2006/2007 Champions League final.

The Olympia Stadium in Athens is brightly lit and full of people. The European Champions Cup final is about to kick off here.

Liverpool fans from England and AC Milan from Italy entered the stadium from different entrances under police escort.

However, Rao is like this, and there are still incidents where fans on both sides deliberately go to each other's 'turf' to provoke. Whether it is Liverpool fans or AC Milan fans, they are not to be outdone in the face of each other's provocations.

In the words of the media: this is another showdown between two hate-filled teams!

Both teams have chosen to abandon the domestic league for the Champions League final, which can be described as a desperate gamble, with no way back, and the Big Ears Cup is bound to win, Milan will want revenge in the final, while Liverpudlian will continue the great moment of two years ago.

When the enemy meets, there is naturally nothing to be polite, and the fans of the two teams have made the local police feel like a big enemy outside the stadium, and when they arrived at the game site, as many as 3,000 military police officers were on standby, just to prevent fan riots.

The fans of the two teams were isolated by a large number of military and police, but they were still provoking each other, and the atmosphere was quite tense and extremely hot.

Neither the Italian fans nor the English media have a good reputation, English football hooligans are world-famous, and in fact, the reputation of Italian fans can also be said to be exceptionally bad.

The security guards were really nervous, and they were really worried about what crazy things some fans would do with their high drinks.

When the fans on both sides outside were tense. The players from both sides have already come out and started to warm up.

The warm-up was simple and was over quickly. The players from both sides left the pitch and returned to their respective dressing rooms for final preparations.

Carlo Ancelotti is in the midst of his final pre-match mobilization.

The tactics that should have been said had been laid out a day ago. There wasn't much time at this time, and he wouldn't repeat it.

"Who among you hasn't experienced a game like this?" Carlo Ancelotti looked at his players.

The players all subconsciously looked at Ronaldo and Jonker, these two, Ronaldo needless to say, is the best striker in the last decade, but when it comes to the Champions League, the former world's top striker really has no record to achieve.

It was also the first time that Jonker was on the stage of a Champions League final.

But. The two of them are not people who have never seen the world, they have not participated in the Champions League final, and the experience of the World Cup final. They have all of them.

Ronaldo shook his head.

Jonker shook his head as well, "I've only played in the semifinals once, not in the finals. ”

The entire AC Milan team is almost full of old people. Of course, the baptism of the Champions League final!

The players looked at Carlo Ancelotti in confusion. Jonk also didn't understand, what the head coach said about this, wouldn't it add to the tension of the whole team?!

Carlo Ancelotti continued, "I know that some of you must be very nervous right now, thinking that we are going to be on the stage of the final, and that we are going to be nervous, and even a little bit of confidence in winning. But what I'm going to say is. Ancelotti snapped his fingers. It's not the first time we've faced such a scene, so there's no need to be nervous. What we want is revenge, from the opponent who took the trophy two years ago, to get back the trophy that belongs to us, we have waited for two years, we must not miss this opportunity, Jonker, are you nervous now? ”

"Of course not." Jonk said.

"The Liverpudlians have used the tactics of skimming to this day, even the media have chosen to support us for the first time, it can be said that now except for the Liverpudlians, everyone hopes that we can have the last laugh, hehe, including Manchester United Ferguson, all we have to do is to win, it's as simple as that!"

There was a burst of laughter among the players, and when Angela said this, their nervous mood relaxed.

"Guys. Now we have a great opportunity! Win this game, stand on top of Europe, and we will make history! Does anyone think this is an impossible task? ”

"Of course not!" Jonk led the whole team to shout.

"Excellent! Then cheer me up! Win the game, just like you've always been able to do!! Ancelotti exclaimed.

Inside the Olympic Stadium, Liverpool's dressing room.

Benitez laid out his tactics one last time and then began his final mobilization.

"I don't need to say much about the importance of this game, because I see the light in your eyes, I know what it is, it's the desire for a championship! It's been a tough season, and you're in for a wonderful ending tonight! ”

"In terms of strength, AC Milan is definitely inferior to us, such an opponent, we need to be more patient, a team composed of old guys, there is nothing to fear, just like two years ago, we have to compare with the opponent. In the first half we have to be cautious, Milan will use the physical strength at the beginning, to attack, all we have to do is defend well, timely counterattack, our biggest advantage is youth, will you lose to a team that is close to 40 years old? ”

As the players set off, Benitez stood at the door of the dressing room, shaking hands with each player and patting them on the shoulder, as if an old marshal was seeing off the soldiers who were about to go on the campaign.

After the simple but grand opening ceremony of the final, the 2006/2007 UEFA Champions League final began with a whistle from German referee Van Del.

Athens is the third city to host the Champions League final twice (after the 1992 Champions Cup) final, after Munich in 1993 and 1997 and Paris Saint-Denis in 2000 and 2006 (home of the Stade de France). In 1994, AC Milan won the trophy with a 4-0 victory over Barcelona at the Olympic Stadium in Athens. In the 1983 Champions Cup final, another Serie A team, Juventus, suffered a 1-0 upset defeat to Hamburg in Athens, while Piraeus, in the Greek port district, hosted three Cup Winners' Cup finals.

1973 year. AC Milan beat Leeds United 1-0 here to win the title, while in this season's group stage, AC Milan beat AEK 1-0 in Athens. Liverpool's Mascherano also has fond memories of the Olympic Stadium in Athens. On August 28, 2004, he helped Argentina win the Olympic gold medal against Paraguay.

AC Milan wore the same white jersey as they did two years ago, having won the Champions League in 1963, 1989, 1990 and 2003.

Not long after the start of the match, Benitez frowned.

'Liverpool are in trouble.' The Italian commentator said, "They didn't seem to expect AC Milan to attack from the start of the final...... In general, such a match as the Champions League final. Few teams attack at the start of the game, and AC Milan caught Liverpool off guard. ”

In fact, Benitez expected the opening kick-off. But the game was still a bit of a shock at the start, and the Milanese's attack was just too crazy.

Only five or six minutes into the game, AC Milan really threatened the goal guarded by Reina and almost scored.

Jonk receives a pass from Pirlo. Nice turn after getting rid of Carragher. opened up the shooting space, and it was directly a volley.

Reyna made a brilliant flying save that bounced off the side and Kaka tried to tackle it, but Mascherano cleared it in time.

AC Milan's attack made Liverpool a little panicked, and the back line was a little wolf.

Even though the attack was unsuccessful, Jonk was excited to pound his chest hard. He also gestured to the AC Milan fans in the stands to encourage the fans.

In fact. From the moment the players stepped out of the tunnel and stepped onto the Olympic Stadium, Jonker was in a state of euphoria.

As he watched AC Milan captain Maldini shake hands with Steven Gerrard and exchange flags, Jonker looked excited, eager to start the game immediately, compared to most of Liverpool's players.

The reporters and commentators in the media were surprised because AC Milan had firmly grasped the initiative of the game from the start of the game.

This is basically the same as their pre-match analysis, before the game, the media and some football celebrities are generally optimistic about AC Milan, and "Milan Sports Newspaper" even listed 'seven reasons why Liverpool will win the championship': First: the current AC Milan team is more resilient!

This is also what the Italian media admires most about AC Milan, no matter what time it is, Milan is now very combative.

Second: The arrival of Jonk has injected the vitality of the Champions League into the current Milan team! Under Carlo Ancelotti's leadership, this AC Milan team is getting better and better in the Champions League, especially after entering the knockout rounds, the table is even more reassuring.

Third: The mix of veterans led by Maldini and Mesozoic players such as Kaka and young players such as Jonk is good.

Fourth: Without Shepchenko and Jonker, AC Milan's attack is more diversified, and AC Milan's midfield is more powerful.

Fifth: The centre-back combination of Maldini and Nesta is absolutely reassuring in the big tournament.

Sixth: AC Milan has a heritage that Liverpool can't match.

Seventh: It's time for AC Milan to win the title.

In a word, Italy is still very confident that AC Milan will win Liverpool and lift the UEFA Champions League in the 2006/2007 season. It is even believed that AC Milan will win in a more dominant way.

Now that the game has begun, the Italians find it as if the game is going exactly as they predicted, with a good direction.

Although Liverpool's opening offensive for AC Milan was somewhat prepared, it was still insufficient, so now the situation on the field is controlled by AC Milan, and the possession is at the feet of AC Milan, and Liverpool can only be exhausted. Due to the lack of preparation for AC Milan's attack, they didn't even know what to do. Some people want to follow the tactics laid out by Benitez, to defend solidly and then counter-attack. However, there are also people who feel that the AC Milan team is pressing in an all-round way, and there are bound to be holes in the backline, which is an opportunity for Liverpool to increase their attacking efforts and strive for goals!

If the two sides do not agree on the same page, they will not be able to work together on the field. If you can't join forces, you will be drilled by your opponent.

Benitez had a bad expression. He also saw that the team's current tactical thinking was confused, and Benitez was angry that it had been arranged before the game. Although he underestimated the offensive strength of AC Milan, he still told the players a long time ago, be patient! Whether it's offensive or defensive, don't panic, be steady!

It was at this point that AC Milan once again had a very dangerous shot on goal.

"Jonk! Nice passing. Kaka catches the ball and shoots! Oops, alas! ”

Reyna held the football firmly in his arms. Then he didn't wait for the AC Milan players to return to the defense, and directly threw the ball to attack.

Liverpool's counter-attack was sharp, with Kuyt latching on to Gerrard's pass and taking advantage of the gap to break through Odor and Ambrosini in succession. It was followed by a shot on goal. Got past the hands of AC Milan goalkeeper Dida, but hit the post! Missed goal!

Benitez saw the shot hit the post and jumped straight to his feet.

However, Liverpool's counter-attack still caught Benitez's eye, and he made a decision immediately.

At a dead-ball chance, Benitez called the team's captain Steven Gerrard to the sidelines.

Steven Gerrard will have to work harder and pay more attention to the space after Otto goes up, and Alonso will have to be more involved in attack. Rafa Benitez saw the space after AC Milan pressed out. Liverpool are also putting in more attacking force to try to take their chances. Get a goal!

At this time, AC Milan was organizing an attack.

Odor passed the ball to Gattuso, who did not dribble the ball and instead took advantage of the situation to push the ball to Pirlo.

Such passing scenes are very common in Milan games, and Gattuso is like Pirlo's bodyguard, and the fierce man is sure to find Pirlo as soon as possible.

Andrea Pirlo smoothed the ball and dribbled forward. After attracting Alonso's scramble, he passed the ball directly to Otto on the wing.

Odor broke through with the ball, and after drawing the center of gravity of Liverpool's defense to this side, he suddenly transferred the ball directly to the feet of Jankulovski, who came up on the other side.

Jankulovski receives the ball and crosses the middle.

Ambrosini came up to answer, he put his back to Gerrard, smacked his heel, and the ball continued to roll forward. Then people saw a man rushing up, taking the ball and dribbling it in.

"Jonk! Jonker! The Italian commentator shouted excitedly, and like him, the AC Milan fans in the stands erupted in loud cheers every time they saw Jonker get the ball.

Seeing Jonk with the ball, Benitez suddenly stood up from the coach's seat, Jonk was what he was most worried about, Benitez described his players like this: As long as Jonk is restricted, AC Milan will not mention winning the Champions League, and it would be good to qualify for the League Cup!

From this sentence, it can be seen that Benitez attaches great importance to Jonker!

Carragher had been following Jonker, and he didn't dare to take his feet lightly.

Ag came up, and he rushed at Jonk. However, the rush was too fierce, and Jonk changed direction and staggered past Agg.

"Stupid! How could he pounce so hard in the face of Jonk! Benitez was furious and yelling on the sidelines. He could only count on Carragher to stop Jonker now.

Carragher saw that Ag's interception failed, turned his heart sideways, accelerated his feet, and was about to get close to Jonker, because as long as the goalkeeper Reina and the goal were in front of Jonker, he was not going to foul, and the foul in this position would be a card, a yellow card if he was lucky, and he might even get a red card.

Carragher is going to press Jonker close and interfere with Jonker's shot!

However, Jonker didn't give Carragher a chance to press himself, he suddenly changed direction again, and when Carragher followed him, Jonk suddenly got up and shot!

Seeing Jonk pick up his right leg, Carragher knew something was wrong, and he fell to the ground decisively and shoveled!

However, Jonker's shot was quicker, and before the spikes of Carragher's boots touched the soccer ball, the ball was off the ground and flying!

Carragher's tackle did not touch the football, but it interfered with his goalkeeper Reina's vision!

By the time Reina sees the ball and tries to change the direction of his movement, it's too late!

The soccer ball arced through an arc and crashed into the net!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL！！ We scored! AC Milan scored! Jonker's goal! Great Jonker! All-powerful Jonker! Great goal! Great Captain! At the critical moment, we still have to look at AC Milan No. 25!! Goal scored after two people in a row in the final. A classic goal that couldn't have been more classic! It was AC Milan's goal in the Champions League final!! This is AC Milan's moment! It's a time for Jonker! Jonker!! Jonker! The score became 1-0! 1 to 0! We are AC Milan! Ac milan! Ac milan! "As soon as Jonker scored the ball, the Italian commentator began to comment like crazy, and he shouted GOAL loudly. Keep roaring, roaring madly, roaring hoarsely, almost crying.

This goal, both for Jonker personally and for AC Milan, is of great significance!

Jonker's goal. It detonated all the enthusiasm of AC Milan fans.

Standing on the sidelines, Ancelotti clenched a fist and swung it into the sky. It was a big goal for AC Milan. It's not that one goal is enough to win the title, but the goal gave the Milan players the confidence to take revenge.

Carlo Ancelotti is in a good mood right now, and he is in good shape on the field. His tactics were right.

Benitez, who was sitting in the coach's seat on the other side, shook his hands vigorously, looking annoyed and angry. He really didn't expect AC Milan to really score a goal on this counterattack. On his side, he has just made adjustments to strengthen the attack. AC Milan scored. Now, Liverpool can only attack, and they must do their best to equalize.

Jonker, who scored the goal, ran to the sideline and hugged Ronaldo on the bench.

This game is very important for Ronaldo, who is only one Champions League title away from a Grand Slam!

Then, a group of teammates rushed up to surround them, excitedly celebrating the goal. Celebrate this monumental goal.

The TV screen was replaying the goal over and over again, and the commentator was full of praise for Joonker's speed and passing skills, as well as his footwork: "...... It's Jork! He was born to be Mr. Key! It was as if Ag had been passed over like a stake! Carragher couldn't stop him! The ball is in! The dribbles and the shots were beautiful. It's so beautiful! ……”

Taking advantage of the players' celebrations, Ancelotti pulled Ambrosini to his side. He quickly commanded: "Pay attention to Liverpool's counterattack, you will have to work harder in midfield in a while, cut off their passes, especially Gerrard!" ”

Ambrosini nodded, he was the dirty man of AC Milan, and the team's midfield barrier depended on him.

"Fifteenth minute, Manchester City 1:0, Jonker!" The radio at the Olympic Stadium in Athens reported the score, time, and the players who scored the goal. The AC Milan fans immediately responded enthusiastically to the broadcast.

"Hooray! Jonker! Banzai! Ac milan! Banzai!! ”

Far away in the East, Huaxia has now become a sleepless night, and Chinese people can't go to watch the game live, but it doesn't prevent them from enjoying the game in the bar or at home, enjoying the goals, especially Jonke's goal, which makes them crazy!

However, only 5 minutes have passed since the crazy celebration, and the tension on the field has made the fans forget the goal just now, and they all clenched their fists and watched the game, Liverpool began to counterattack, crazy attack, the game immediately entered the white heat, the fans on both sides were all nervous, Milan fans hoped to be able to withstand Liverpool's attack, and Liverpool fans hoped that the goal would appear quickly.

"Oh, NO!"

A huge sigh sounded at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, and although Gerrard's long-range shot was a little outrageous, Liverpool fans were still very sorry, and any action on the field could touch the sensitive nerves of Liverpool fans.

Milan fans don't care, what the hell, such a shot is not dangerous at all, look at our Jonker's shot, Gerrard is this called a heavy artillery, it is simply a child's toy pistol, just movement has no effect.

There was soon a clash between the fans on both sides, the abuse began to appear, the boos were even more shocking, and the players on both sides did not know who they were booing, Liverpool had someone to boo for the ball, and some people for Milan to get the ball were also booed, and the battle between the fans on both sides was going on at the same time.

10 minutes passed, the Liverpudlian began to be impatient, Benitez stood on the sidelines and was about to go crazy, what he said before the game, and now the players on the field don't seem to remember it, constantly reminding the players to be patient, but it is the Liverpool players who lose patience. (To be continued......)
