Chapter 565 - 38: What!? This Can’t Be!
San Siro Stadium
The Milan fans wildly raised their arms in celebration, while many extreme fans used green laser pointers to shine at the Real Madrid players and coaches, with Mourinho undoubtedly being the most focused on.
If Milan can defeat Real Madrid in this match, they will gain the upper hand in advancing.
Allegri was also pacing back and forth on the sidelines, repeatedly pumping his fists.
Looking at Inzaghi on the field, his eyes were full of amazement.
The veteran is already 37 years old this year, yet he can still contribute to the team. His sense in front of the goal, allows him to poach against a team like Real Madrid.
Isn’t that a different kind of remarkable talent?
"No one expected this before the match."
"37-year-old Inzaghi, surprisingly scored first shortly after the game began."
"In the previous match, this veteran was ineffective against Real Madrid’s tight defense."
"In this one, his active movements and clever positioning."
"Allowed him to seize the opportunity to seal the deal."
Mourinho on the sidelines dodged the green lasers, pulling Francisco to attract fire along the way.
Looking at the bitter-faced chubby person in front of him, he smiled and said, "Great players should retire at a great club."
"Look at this goal."
"I hope his last club is Milan."
While Mourinho and Francisco were chatting, the Milan fans in the stands burst into cheers, and from their distinct tone, it was clear.
In another Champions League group match, Ousel surprisingly took the lead over Ajax.
Milan and Ajax are direct rivals for the "second place"; if they can score against Real Madrid, and Ajax drops points to Ousel, then after this match, Milan can almost secure the second spot.
Whereas if Ajax can win or draw against Ousel, and Milan loses to Real Madrid, then Ajax will advance as the second place in the group.
The Milan players on the pitch, knowing Ajax is behind, were visibly more determined.
They became more active in their positioning and even exerted a pressing stance on Real Madrid, while Mourinho on the sidelines showed no anxiety but smiled at this "posture."
Real Madrid now is like a compressed spring, the more it rebounds, the stronger it hits back.
And Milan’s "frontline" became increasingly advanced.
Allegri was pacing up and down the sidelines, wanting to say something several times, but ultimately just opened his mouth, then closed it!
Because Allegri knows very well, a one-goal lead is the least secure.
"Milan’s attack."
"Real Madrid played with a lot of patience."
"Gattuso is moving forward on the right."
"He’s drawing Real Madrid’s attention."
"In the middle, Chen Zhong was drawn by Ibrahimovic."
Even Gattuso started organizing attacks.
This forced Chen Zhong to begin retreating.
Chen Zhong’s face was very calm; on both sides, Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria were ready to go, and as long as they could intercept the ball this time, Real Madrid would quickly counterattack.
The only thing that surprised him was that Gattuso started to push forward and organize and attack.
However, this also means Real Madrid will have more force when counter-attacking.
His gaze searched in all directions, quickly locking onto Ibrahimovic, who also seemed to notice Chen Zhong and, while positioning, flashed a provocative look at him.
Chen Zhong knows the skills of the Swede.
Once when Ibrahimovic played for Barcelona, he completed a beautiful scorpion kick beside him, which became a point for many fans to criticize Chen Zhong’s defensive abilities.
"Real Madrid’s defense in the middle is very tight."
"Gattuso is not a player who is good at assisting."
"He’s controlling the ball on the right."
"Milan’s central movements were very active."
"An overhead pass!"
This wave of coordination didn’t have much technical content. Although Ibrahimovic had many words, he didn’t have much advantage facing Chen Zhong’s strong build.
And the far side of the Real Madrid players had already begun to set up offsides.
Chen Zhong’s gaze quickly locked onto Inzaghi; in this match, Milan’s forwards Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho, and Inzaghi.
Ronaldinho was "invisible," Ibrahimovic struggled alone, while only this Inzaghi, with his elusive movements, gave Real Madrid’s defense headaches.
And at the moment Gattuso made a lob pass, and the moment Real Madrid’s defense collectively pushed up, Chen Zhong saw clearly that Inzaghi was in an offside position.
"Gattuso’s pass."
"Looking for Inzaghi!"
"Offside?"
"Not offside?"
"The referee didn’t blow!"
The commentator’s voice fluctuated, but if the player in question was Inzaghi, it seemed quite normal.
This man, wandering on the offside line, always gives the linesmen headaches.
And just now, he seemed to be on the offside line but not at the same time.
