Chapter 234 Maldini’s long pass

Zhuoyang was forty and a half meters away from Bayern's goal, turned around and fired a volley. The football flashed across the bright night sky. Oliver Kahn soared into the air and almost lifted it over the crossbar.

Less than a minute into the game, Zhuo Yang hit Shan Zhenhu with a very high-quality long-range shot, showing that he was in very good condition today. There was an exclamation of surprise in the stands of the Allianz Arena.

After AC Milan kicked off, the football came to the feet of captain Maldini. After a look between the Cavaliers and Zhuo Yang, who was half a stadium away, they suddenly started to attack with a long pass.

The back line directly launches a long pass attack, which is one of the traditional trump cards of the Italian team. The classic Italian center backs are very knowledgeable in this regard. They are even more sophisticated in this technique than the English in the early years. The English defenders use their big kicks and their landing points are very accurate, but many times they still need strong high forwards to compete with their opponents for landing points. However, the Italian classic center backs have more precise timing for long passes. The long passes they give , often falling over the heads of the opponent's defensive players and landing just at the feet of the forward who is in the right position.

Nowadays, defenders over 30 years old in Serie A have basically mastered this technique, but it is hard to say for the new generation of defenders. Bonera will definitely not be able to play.

Maldini's long pass just went over Oter's head. When Zhuoyang grabbed a good position and turned his back against Lucio, the football came as promised. Lucio pushed the ball from behind, and Zhuoyang stopped the ball with his chest. Without waiting for the football to hit the ground, he used his left thigh to cushion the ball, then squeezed Lucio and half-turned to volley with his right foot.

Kahn was able to guard the Flying Fairy Queen. He admired himself a little, but also felt a little scared. The start was so unreasonable that Kahn had a vague feeling that today would be a fierce battle.

In the last round at San Siro, young goalkeeper Lensing performed very well. If he hadn't saved AC Milan's three or four inevitable goals, today would have been just a formality for the two teams. Bayern is now dominated by young people, and Lensing's strong attack also doubles the pressure on Kahn.

In last summer's World Cup, Kahn became Lehmann's substitute under Klinsmann. At that time, many media felt sorry for Kahn. Kahn's status in German football is much higher than that of Lehmann, and he is only half a year older than Lehmann. Klinsmann is interested in Lehmann's better goal-line ability.

However, what no one expected was that Kahn, a veteran with a bad temper, did not complain during the World Cup, but diligently and silently did his job as a substitute. When Germany's top eight teams faced Argentina, the two teams faced each other in penalty kicks. Kahn took the initiative to help Lehmann analyze the characteristics of Argentine players' penalty kicks and encouraged Lehmann. This scene deeply moved the German football world, and they all praised the veteran. Be brave and loyal.

Klinsmann also misses Kahn very much. Kahn was once his teammate with him. Now there is no player older than Kahn in German football. Loss inside the team was made up for by outside. As soon as Klinsmann took over as Bayern head coach, he made it clear to Kahn: You are my number one goalkeeper. Anyway, in Klinsmann's view, Lensing is far behind Kahn in all aspects.

But Kahn is still worried that team metabolism is the law of football. He is 38 years old, and no matter how hard he refuses to accept his old age, he is deceiving himself. What's more, since the FA Cup final in 2003, whenever I meet Zhuoyang, I can't fall behind. Either Bayern will lose, or I will be beaten into a colander, or I will simply lose and be in a colander.

It was in last year's DFB Cup final that Kahn was missed by Zhuo Yang's hat trick and completely lost his position as the national team's main goalkeeper.

AC Milan must win away from home today, otherwise if they fail outside the semi-finals of the Champions League, the 2006-07 season will be an extremely bleak year. Dismal results will inevitably cause internal turmoil, and many people will no longer be secure in their seats. There were even rumors before the game that if they lose this game, Ancelotti will be replaced by former Italian national team coach Lippi after the end of the season.

Before this game, Bayern Munich had been unbeaten in 12 consecutive Champions League games at home, and the Allianz Arena was only opened in May 2005.

In other words, Bayern has never lost in the Champions League at this stadium.

AC Milan will strive to break Bayern's undefeated legend at the Allianz Arena today, but the team got off to a bad start before the game. Before anyone came in, they were fined 100,000 euros.

In fact, before setting off for Munich two days ago, AC Milan received a note from the Bavarian state government where Munich is located, notifying that AC Milan's existing jerseys are not allowed to appear in Bavaria.

The root of the matter lies in the 'bwin' advertisement on the chest of the jersey. bwin is an Austrian gambling company, and Bavarian state law prohibits gambling advertisements from appearing in this state. There was a lot of wrangling, AC Milan said I couldn’t play naked anyway, and Bavaria said you couldn’t break our laws anyway. AC Milan said again, if I violate the rules, will you shoot us with a gun? The state of Bavaria said that's not the case, but if you don't pay the fine, you can't leave.

Galliani said: How much is the penalty for talking!

Bavaria: Knowingly committing an offence, the maximum penalty is 100,000.

Galliani: Cash or check?

If they can defeat Bayern in this game, AC Milan will at least get more than 10 million euros in revenue from UEFA.

Klinsmann is not a conservative coach. On the contrary, because he is young and was a forward as a player, Klinsmann's football tactics are full of romantic offensive temperament. Bayern did not use conservative play to pursue a draw because they had two away goals. Instead, they used active offense to gradually push AC Milan back into their own half.

After Zhuoyang knocked the mountain and shocked the tiger, Hargreaves' breakthrough forced Nesta to destroy the ball out of the baseline. In the 4th minute, after Xiaozhu and Van Bommel cooperated, he stepped on the penalty area line and hit a rebound shot. Dida did not react at all. He seemed to be sleepwalking and let the football pass his body. Fortunately, Odo cleared the ball at the goal line. .

The teammates looked at Dida with more fear than they looked at Bayern. The goalkeeper was a thunderbolt, which was so scary. Dida lowered his head and remained silent, then used his big gloves to slap his mouth hard, and then performed a standard Qigong movement of sinking Qi into his Dantian. There is no need to ask who taught him this.

Maybe it was the psychological suggestion that played a role. Two minutes later, Podolski's cold shot in the penalty area was miraculously saved by Dida. Lyle followed up with a follow-up shot and was frightened off the crossbar by Dida's body who jumped twice.

The teammates let out a sigh of relief: This is ridiculous! Dida, who was trying to turn the tide, finally had the confidence to vent. He shouted at everyone: Cheer up and watch the good guys! !

After a wide circle with his eyes, Dida took the goal kick. Without a big kick, Bayern Munich had retreated across the board, and Dida pushed the football to Maldini behind the arc in the center circle.

The Cavaliers glanced at Zhuoyang, who was wandering on the frontline, and Zhuoyang also looked at him.

Suddenly, Maldini made another long pass.
