430 March to Old Trafford(1/2)

Although Betis played well in positional offense, Betis had never found any good opportunities in the face of AC Milan's stable defense.

It was not until the 34th minute of the game that Betis "grabbed" an opportunity!

After AC Milan steals in the backcourt, they turn from defense to offense!

The ball was habitually handed over to the feet of midfield commander Pirlo!

When Pirlo was about to turn around and organize the attack, he found that Kaka suddenly pressed up.

In fact, before the game, Tang Feng once reminded Kaka that he would pay attention to pressing Pirlo after conceding the ball in the frontcourt and not let him organize calmly.

But Kaka is an offensive player after all, and his defensive awareness is not that good.

He obviously didn't expect that just now, it was precisely because he forgot to press after losing the ball that Pirlo calmly initiated a counterattack, and that counterattack directly caused the goal to be lost.

Therefore, after conceding the ball, Kaka, who felt a little guilty, would actively fight back in the frontcourt every time.

This time, although he did not grab the ball, he forced Pirlo to pass the ball in a hurry.

Pirlo passed the ball to Gattuso on the right!

Gattuso is the world's best midfield interceptor. He is world-class in defense, but in terms of technology, he is obviously far behind his partner Pirlo!

A top midfielder like Pirlo often has a long time to understand the situation around him before receiving the ball.

Therefore, they rarely concede goals in the midfield.

Gattuso just took the ball step by step and stopped the ball, but he didn't notice that Xavi Alonso, who was not far away, had already seen the opportunity and pounced on it!

When he found out, Xavi Alonso had already stretched his legs and hooked the ball away from him.

pretty!

Tang Feng on the sidelines shouted excitedly after seeing Xavi Alonso's steal.

He knew that after stealing in the frontcourt, it would be a good opportunity to counterattack on the spot!

Although Xavi Alonso is a midfielder, he is not like Gattuso, but more like Pirlo, and his overall view is also very strong.

He knew very well that opportunities were fleeting. So after intercepting the ball, he did not stick to the ball and stuffed the ball out almost immediately!

His ball is not only stuffed quickly, but more importantly, it is stuffed accurately!

The ball was sent directly to AC Milan's left rib!

The ball has a very strong penetration, which directly tore opens the not obvious gap in AC Milan's ribs!

Robben, who had just lost the ball, had not had time to return to defense, appeared on the ball route!

Right back Costakuta had already reacted at the first time and wanted to reach out to La Robben. But Pan's arrogant speed was reflected at this time.

Costakutara couldn't hold Robben!

Roben stabbed AC Milan's heart like a sharp knife!

After receiving the ball, Robben took the opportunity to pull the ball inside and broke into AC Milan's penalty area!

Nesta, who was close to this side, had to make up for defense!

Robben did not give Nesta a chance to get closer to him. He changed direction and accelerated towards the bottom line, and further distanced himself from Nesta.

At the same time, he did not forget to take a look at the situation in the middle, and he found that Drogba had seized a favorable position.

Robben's style of play is not as unique as in later generations. When he saw that his teammates were obviously in favor, he did not hesitate and directly pushed the ball over!

Drogba took advantage of his physical strength to pull Maldinica behind him, then stretched out his leg and poked the ball directly at the goal!

Faced with such a close shot, Dida could not make an effective save even if she reacted quickly, and the ball flew directly into the goal from his legs!

The entire Seville Olympic Stadium suddenly burst into cheers like tsunamis.

Tang Feng, who had already reached the sidelines, jumped up excitedly and waved his fist!

Betis' bench was also in a turmoil!

On the field!

Drogba, who scored the goal, also stood there and roared excitedly.

Without any extra celebration, Drogba snatched the ball from the goal and walked towards the midfield.

Obviously, he did not forget that the draw was still not enough to ensure that Betis advanced to the finals, and they still needed to continue scoring!

...

Soon, the game started again.

The Betis team, who scored a goal, obviously had a strong morale and wanted to take advantage of the situation to overtake the score!

As an experienced team, AC Milan naturally knew that it should not face Betis head-on at this time. Therefore, he chose to retreat with only a few minutes left in the first half. He planned to save the draw in the first half first.

In the face of AC Milan's full defense, Betis did not think of a solution at the last moment of the first half, and the score was maintained to the halftime break!

...

In the locker room at the halftime break, Tang Feng praised the players' fighting spirit and encouraged them to continue pressing in the midfield in the second half.

At the same time, he also reminded the players to be careful of AC Milan's quick counterattack.

Finally, Tang Feng did not forget to use the finals to inspire the players' fighting spirit!

In Betis' team, except for veterans like Van der Sar and Guardiola who have transferred from giants, other players have never participated in the Champions League final.

Therefore, their desire for the finals can be imagined.

Even Van der Sar and Guardiola are eager to prove what a wrong decision it would be for their old club to give up on them!

Therefore, Tang Feng easily inspires the players' fighting spirit!

...

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, neither team made any adjustments in personnel!

In the opening stage, Betis also took advantage of the serve to launch a wave of attacks.

However, the experienced AC Milan team will naturally not allow Betis to successfully attack.

Subsequently, AC Milan also launched several waves of tentative attacks.

Obviously, Ancelotti also knew that a one-to-one score was not safe enough for them. Because Betis only needed one goal to force them into a desperate situation!

In the 52nd minute, Shevchenko's attack in front of the goal really shocked the Betis's sweat.

Fortunately, Van der Sar was brave in front of the goal and blocked Shevchenko's shot with his legs, resolving a crisis.

Four minutes later, Rui Costa's long shot outside the penalty area once again tested the gate guarded by Van der Sar.

The Dutch once again tried to protect the city gate!

After resisting several waves of AC Milan's offensives, Betis also attacked!

In the 63rd minute, Kaka made a powerful long shot after shaking continuously in the middle.

However, his compatriot Dida seemed to have expected that he would do this. He moved in advance and blocked the ball with a flying sideways!

Soon, the Betis made a comeback!

Robben on the left made a move to the bottom, but in fact he hit the middle, and after cutting inside, he directly shot the ball!

Unfortunately, his right foot was not as smart as his left foot. The ball rubbed against the near post and missed the bottom line!

In the following time, the two teams launched an attack back and forth.

However, neither side dared to pounce too hard.

Needless to say, AC Milan is now a draw, but it is in their favor, and they don't mind keeping the score until the end of the game.

As for Betis, they also have some concerns, because if AC Milan scores another goal, then Betis will have to score two goals before they can reach the finals.

Time came to the last fifteen minutes without realizing it!

At this time, Tang Feng took the lead in making personnel adjustments.

He replaced Cascro with Villa!

In this way, Betis became a double striker.

There is no doubt that Tang Feng knew that his team needed to strengthen the offensive.

At the same time, the frontcourt also requires technical forwards like Villa to enrich their tactics.

Faced with Tang Feng's adjustment, Ancelotti still chose to hold on. He just asked the players to pay attention to strengthening their defense against the newly played Villa!

Villa's appearance did not play a very obvious role.

Although he completed a shot outside the penalty area after he came on the court, it did not pose too much threat to the goal guarded by Dida.

Soon, five minutes passed, and there were only ten minutes left in the game.

At this time, the Betis fans in the stands were a little anxious.

Because if their team doesn't score, they will be eliminated.

Although it was already a great achievement for Betis to reach the semi-finals in the first time he participated in the Champions League. But at this time, who wouldn't hope that the team can go further, reach the finals, or even hold up the championship trophy?
