Chapter 655 Defeat Them Under the Night Sky of Athens

"Resolute,"

"courage,"

"Beat them!"

"come on!"

"come on!"

The Manchester United soldiers filed out of the locker room. They had made all preparations to fight the most important battle of their careers.

Ferguson walked at the end, looking at the enthusiastic disciples, he also became excited.

"Paul,"

He suddenly stopped Scholes.

Scholes stopped and said, "Boss."

"Take them with you."

"Um."

Ferguson hesitated to speak. He thought he saw the 1999 Scholes, but this was the 2007 Scholes.

In the stands, Roy Keane and David Beckham sat together, no different from ordinary fans.

"I really hope I can play in the Champions League final again." Beckham suddenly lamented.

"Farke,"

"I haven't even played in the finals." The muscles on Keane's face trembled, and his eyes stared at the tunnel. He has been sitting here for a long time, but his former teammates haven't come out yet, and he is getting a little anxious waiting...

※※※※

"Kaka, follow your heart and play,"

"that is your freedom."

Pirlo sat quietly on the bench, slowly adjusting the boots on his feet. His long flowing hair covered his artistic face. At this moment, he looked less like a kicker and more like a focused player. of craftsmen.

"Andrea, don't worry, I will do it, don't worry about me." Kaka's shining eyes are full of confidence. He is worthy of being the son of God. With a slight smile, his handsomeness can be felt from three miles away...

"Bah, bang, bang," Ancelotti clapped gently, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

"Boys, it's time to set off and win back the glory that belongs to you."

"up!"

"up!"

"up!"

…

"We can now see that there are many familiar national team figures in the camera, leaders of the National Football Association, and many national team members in the stands. There are too many people in the VIP stands and ordinary stands."

"Today is the first Champions League final for our Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo! It may also be the last Champions League final for Paolo Maldini..."

As the exciting Champions League theme song played, Dong Fangzhuo led his teammates out of the tunnel as captain. To his right was AC Milan captain Paolo Maldini, who looked determined.

AC Milan wore white jerseys as they did 2 years ago. They won the Champions League in 1963, 1989, 1990 and 2003.

Manchester United wears traditional red shirts.

In the stands, whether they are Red Devils fans,

Milan fans immediately gave him warm applause.

"Dong Fangzhuo!"

"Dong Fangzhuo!"

"Dong Fangzhuo!"

In the stands, Deng Zhuoxiang and the others waved their hands excitedly and greeted Dong Fangzhuo. The overwhelming cheers made it impossible for Dong Fangzhuo to hear their shouts...

"Director Zhang, who do you think will win the championship today? Milan or Manchester United?"

"Hehe," Zhang Lu smiled, "As a Chinese, I first stand from the perspective of Manchester United and support Dong Fangzhuo and Manchester United."

"From a rational point of view, I still support Manchester United. Before the game, many people said that Manchester United is not Milan's opponent. I feel ridiculous. Milan is no longer the Milan of two years ago, and Manchester United is no longer the same as two years ago. Manchester United, I am a straightforward person. AC Milan is extremely lucky to be able to pass Chelsea. Of course, we cannot bury Kaká’s great contribution.”

"However, Milan is still not good enough to win the Champions League. I won't talk about comprehensive strength. I will say that without Nesta, the central defender combination of Bonera and Maldini can really withstand the Manchester United trident? Maldini Ni is 39 years old..."

"Milan's only reliance is Kaka. Once there is a large running space, Kaka's unparalleled impact is second to none. Kaka's signature move is a quick escape with high cadence and long strides. Many teams' The defense line was torn apart by such a frontal and direct assault. In addition, Kaka's physical confrontation ability when dribbling the ball is very strong. Most people can't hit him when trying to get a position, so Vidic and the others are aiming very hard today. To be clear, in addition to preventing Inzaghi from falling in the penalty area, the only thing is to keep an eye on Kaká..."

"AC Milan is worthy of being the king of the Champions League. Previously, AC Milan participated in 10 Champions League finals and won 6 times. Since the Champions League was restructured in 1992, AC Milan has reached the finals a record 6 times."

"Ancelotti arranged a single forward formation, veteran Inzaghi beat Gilardino to play, and Ambrosini was supplemented in the midfield. Captain Maldini participated in the Champions League final for the 8th time, tying the former Real Madrid The record of superstar Gento. At 38 years and 331 days old, he became the oldest non-goalkeeper player in the history of the Champions League final. This was also the third time Maldini participated in the Champions League final as captain and broke the record of the 36-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper in 1961. Malez's record is to become the oldest captain in the history of the Champions League. Midfielder Seedorf became the 11th player to have participated in at least five Champions League finals."

"Manchester United is participating in the Champions League final for the third time in history. Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are three veterans who have experienced the 1999 Triple Crown period."

Beep——

The referee's whistle pierced the sky, and the long-awaited moment finally arrived.

Under the starry sky of the Athens Olympics, the 2006-07 Champions League final finally begins!

"Milan kicked the ball first."

After the start, like all competition finals, both teams focused on stability and neither team dared to act rashly.

In a game that determines the outcome, no one dares to take it lightly. There will be no home or away games this time...

Milan relied on a strong midfielder to control the ball at their feet, but Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo and Rooney forced AC Milan to move the ball faster through active running.

Their footsteps are brisk, and they are filled with a vigorous youthful atmosphere.

Milan was the first to get the opportunity. Kaka actively returned to the backcourt to receive Gattuso's pass, and then took the ball and sprinted forward. Even though Modric knew that Kaká was very aggressive when dribbling the ball, Modric still could not stop Kaká from attacking with the ball. Kaká’s steps were too big and he planned a breakthrough the moment he received Gatto’s pass. Modric...

"Kaka, dribbling the ball like the wind, simply unstoppable!"

Modric's short legs failed to stop Kaka. Kaka quickly rushed to the front of Manchester United's penalty area. Carrick came to block it, but Kaka distributed the ball to the right.

Odo made a diagonal pass from the right, and the ball drew a perfect arc and flew into Manchester United's penalty area.

Vidic and Ferdinand sandwiched Inzaghi one after another, but Inzaghi seemed to be smeared with butter and was about to get in front of Ferdinand...

Ferdinand didn't dare to be careless and quickly shoveled the ball out of the baseline!

"Milan corner kick."

"Inzaghi forced Ferdinand to shovel the ball out of the baseline. Ferdinand did the right thing. You can't let the ball stay with Inzaghi in the penalty area for too long, because you never know where Inzaghi will appear next moment. It’s time to fall…”

Manchester United retreated across the board, and Dong Fangzhuo also returned to the penalty area to defend with his teammates. The guy he was marking was Kaka, and the camera specially gave a close-up of the two of them.

"so hot!"

"Why is Dong Fangzhuo not as handsome as him~~~"

Pirlo took a corner kick from the right, and all the high points in Manchester United's penalty area jumped up. In the end, Vidic nodded the ball in front and destroyed it. The ball fell at the feet of Heinze. Heinze made a big mistake. He drove the ball away with his feet, which was completely non-tactical.

And Dong Fangzhuo bounced out like a cannonball.

It is impossible for him to get the ball, but this attitude is necessary. He must rush to the ball as soon as possible and become the first defensive barrier.

Of course, Rooney and Ronaldo also rushed forward in time on both sides. This is not one person’s fight, it’s all of them’s fight!

Milan still controlled the ball at their feet. The ball was handed over to Pirlo's feet for organization. Pirlo's instep made an arc. Kaká raised his right leg in the air and unloaded the irregular ball gracefully. Then he picked up his right foot and turned around Modric.

Modric was at a complete disadvantage in the confrontation in front of Kaká. The ball flew over Modric's head and fell back to Kaká's feet.

"Beautiful!"

"This is so extraordinary, so chic, and this charm is so intoxicating."

After the ball landed, Kaka dribbled the ball to the left side of Manchester United and killed the penalty area. Neville just passed Ali to block it, but he passed the overhead ball from the left rib. Seedorf rushed into the penalty area with understanding, but he stopped. The ball was too big and went directly out of the baseline...

Seedorf stuck out his tongue in shame...

"Thankfully Seedorf made a mistake in stopping the ball, otherwise the ball would have been really dangerous. But how can a player of Seedorf's level hear the ball so loudly? I thought it was the national football team..."

In the first 9 minutes, almost all Milan players were performing offense. It was not until the 10th minute that Manchester United created a threat for the first time.

Odo's cross hit Heinze, who rushed towards the ball and raced down the left wing.

Dong Fangzhuo ran to the left from the center to meet him. Next to him, Gattuso was chasing closely...
