Chapter 265 The Threshold of Milan’s Revenge
The European Champions Cup semi-finals no longer started on the same day, but took place over two days, attracting the attention of the world. Last week, the first leg of Milan and Manchester United started at Old Trafford. When Zhuo Yang and his AC Milan ushered in a life-or-death battle with Manchester United at San Siro today, the results of Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield last night were already in place.
In the first half, Danish central defender Agger gave Liverpool a 1:0 lead with a long shot and equalized the total score. After 120 minutes, Liverpool's Spanish goalkeeper Reina became the hero of the team in the penalty shootout.
Liverpool made four of four free throws, while only Lampard hit Chelsea's first three free throws. Robben and Gremi's shots were both saved by Reina. Liverpool then advanced to the final with 1:1 (4:1) and ranked fourth. Neither Drogba nor Ribery, who took the fifth penalty, had a chance to go up.
The Red Army Liverpool entered the Champions League final for the second time in three years, and all the eyes of the world were focused on the San Siro today. One month later at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, everyone will wait and see whether the Champions League final will be a civil war in the Premier League or a battle to avenge AC Milan's past humiliation.
Everyone stayed together in Milanello last night and watched the live broadcast of the game. Except for Zhuo Yang, who felt sorry for his brother, everyone else cheered for Liverpool to advance to the final. The three-goal reversal in the half two years ago became a lifelong shame for Maldini and his team. His career has entered the twilight years. He originally thought that the chance of meeting Liverpool again in the European arena was slim, and his desire for personal revenge may have been lost.
The sky net is vast, sparse but not leaking. God has a clear vision. Now we only need to work together tomorrow, and Athens can become the revenge battle of 'Istanbul Night'. How can we not make everyone cheer?
Zhuoyang has no hatred against Liverpool, and he cannot possibly empathize with AC Milan's hatred. Looking at Kaka beside him, who was cheering with excitement, he couldn't help but feel sad for his brother Franck Ribery.
Maybe, six Great Barrier Reef lobsters over 2 feet 7 can make Scar forget about this defeat, because he feels sorry for money. ——The Story of Zhuo Yang’s Heart
AC Milan was excited to see the dawn of personal revenge, but not all good news they got yesterday.
In the morning, UEFA once again publicly reiterated its regulations on Champions League qualifications: the Champions League champions are not naturally eligible for the following season, and will still be implemented according to the quota allocated to each member country.
In other words, even if AC Milan wins the Champions League this year, but fails to enter the top four in the league, it will still miss the Champions League next season.
It’s a bit weird to think about it, but UEFA is also helpless. This is all because of Milan’s enemy Liverpool.
In the summer of 2005, Liverpool completed the 'Miracle in Istanbul' and won the Champions League, but ended up only fifth in the Premier League. According to the quota allocation, the Red Army can only play in the UEFA Cup next year, and the defending champion will miss the Champions League. Because this kind of thing has never happened before. Who would have thought that even though they could win the Champions League, they could not even enter the top four in the league. UEFA had no regulations in this regard before.
Liverpool took advantage of this loophole and argued with UEFA, eventually forcing UEFA to squeeze out a spot from the poor Eastern European countries to Liverpool. The English football world was very proud, but UEFA's move was met with great criticism, especially from Eastern Europe.
Therefore, before the start of this season, UEFA wrote in black and white into the rules that "the defending champion is not naturally qualified." Seeing that AC Milan might repeat the 'mistake' of Liverpool the year before, they quickly reiterated it before the final matchup became completely clear.
If we wait until Milan actually enters the final to reiterate,
It would appear too targeted.
Originally, Milan really wanted to wait until that situation really happened and mess around with it, but now, it was obviously impossible. The new regulations that had been made repeatedly were overturned as soon as they were announced. UEFA would never slap themselves in the face like this. Therefore, Milan can only grasp the Champions League with two hands, and both hands must be strong.
.
"Zhuoyang, no matter who of us enters the final, we must win the championship." Before the two sides warmed up, grandfather Mertesacker said to Zhuoyang.
Zhuo Yang nodded seriously. "We must take it down and give victory to Scar."
After the game last night, Chelsea winger Franck Ribery burst into tears. The sunflowers and rain were heartbreaking, and he was so ugly that he lost his personality. Finally, not to mention his Chelsea teammates, even Liverpool captain Gerrard couldn't stand it anymore and kept coaxing him. The Red Army fans at Anfield were not impressed by Scar's sharp breakthrough from the wing, nor were they impressed by his unique incision, but they were all moved by his tears.
Fifty-four thousand fans in the audience sang in unison: There is only one scar; Franck Ribery will not cry...
Zhuo Yang was heartbroken in front of the TV. Scar was a standard ruthless man, a top-notch tough guy in football. It shows how sad it is to be able to cry like this in public. Zhuoyang sent a text message to Scar after a while: Scar, are you feeling better?
Scar replied: Promise me, no matter which one of you two, you will kill Liverpool!
Grandpa and Zhuo Yang both said: Promise!
After expressing his determination to his grandfather, Zhuo Yang went to the visiting team's bench to pay a routine visit to Sir Alex Ferguson. The old man also gave him a slap on the butt as usual. Now the whole world knows that Sir Alex is going crazy thinking about Zhuoyang. Many people speculate that he has not announced his retirement plan because he is waiting to finally coach Zhuoyang.
Zhuoyang finally came to Alan Smith on the bench. He recovered from injury and entered the squad today.
"Alan, I'm sorry. I've always wanted to find a chance to say sorry to you." Zhuo Yang said.
In the Champions League group stage last season, Zhuoyang was good at shooting with secret power while in a trance at Old Trafford, but broke Smith's femur. Although no one knew the details, they all thought it was just a coincidence that the strength was so small. Zhuo Yang felt a little guilty.
It is impossible to say that Smith has no resentment. After all, he was injured for more than half a year when he was in good condition. But he is still an upright man, and he knows in his heart that Zhuo Yang is not plotting against him, and with Zhuo Yang's current status in world football, he can come over to apologize to him in full view of the public, which gives him enough face. Used.
"Look, what you said is all about the game, how can you care about this." Smith stood up and hugged Zhuoyang magnanimously, which was considered as a smile to put away the grudge.
Determinations have been expressed, those who should socialize have also socialized, and old grudges have been settled. Next, we have to face this final game. Eighty thousand Rossoneri filled the San Siro to the brim. The rain in Milan was red today, like celebratory fireworks that bloomed in advance.
