Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 552

Inside the VIP box of San Siro Stadium.

Berlusconi, 71, holds a cigar and watches the game on the field expressionlessly.

He is the current Prime Minister of Italy.

He is also the actual leader and honorary chairman behind AC Milan.

Since entering Italian politics in 1994, he has handed over the club to professional manager Galliani to manage, and rarely comes to the scene to supervise the battle.

But today is the crucial Champions League semi-final.

This Italian business, political and sports figure still chose to take time out of his busy official duties and come to the scene.

With a front pass of AC Milan on the field, it was intercepted by Manchester City.

Berlusconi exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Galliani beside him.

"Adriano, do you think we can win today?"

"Mr. Prime Minister, the situation is not bad, and the rhythm is under our control. I think we can win."

"We must win. The level of the mess last year brought me a very bad public opinion, and the team also needs results to save a large number of lost fans."

"Yes, you are right."

As the vice president of AC Milan, Galliani did not dare to breathe. Although he resisted the phone door incident in time.

But the whole of Italy knows who is the real owner behind AC Milan.

Naturally, it also brought some minor impacts to Berlusconi in public opinion.

This is also the reason why Berlusconi came to the scene today. Only results can shut up more people.

"Relax, Adriano. Since I continue to let you manage the team, it means I recognize your ability. Everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are not terrible. What is terrible is that you cannot make up for them."

"Thank you for your recognition. You are my lifelong benefactor."

"Okay, you should talk to me more about the game. I have heard enough of these polite words."

Galliani looked at his boss's eyes turning to the court and showed a barely perceptible bitter smile.

Serving the king is like serving a tiger.

This is absolutely true.

If AC Milan loses the game today, maybe he will not only be fired, but also bid farewell to Italian football forever.

After all, he has too many secrets about AC Milan in his stomach.

..........................................................

The situation of the game is still very tense. In the ESPN live broadcast room, Zhan Jun made a simple summary since the opening.

"The timer on the big screen has reached the 30th minute!"

"So far, neither side has scored a goal!"

"In terms of shots, each team had one shot, but under the opponent's tight defense, the quality was not very high and neither team hit the target."

"In terms of ball possession..."

"Manchester City has made significant progress compared to the last game, with a 52% ball possession rate, even a little ahead of AC Milan."

"But fans who have been watching the game know it."

"The reason why AC Milan's ball possession rate is not high is mainly because it has insisted on implementing the main defense strategy and seeking defensive counterattacks in the past 30 minutes."

"Usually."

"It is difficult for a team that implements defensive counterattacks to have a ball possession rate of more than 50%."

"..."

"Let's take a look at this round!"

"Modric made a diagonal pass and successfully sent the ball from the backcourt to Knight's feet on the left side of the frontcourt!"

"An attack from Manchester City in the frontcourt!"

At this time on the court, Knight, who successfully received Modric's pass, was quickly entangled by Ambrosini.

Although Ambrosini was replaced by Cafu in the second half of the last game, this Italian midfielder who is about to turn 30 is quite strong.

Since joining AC Milan in the 1995-96 season, he has played for the Rossoneri for 12 years and is also a member of the Italian national team's bench.

With a height of 1.82 meters, excellent physical fitness and a steady style of play, he is the kind of engineer-type player that every team has.

Facing Knight, who is 1.65 meters tall, Ambrosini did not hesitate to approach him and confront him. He turned sideways and used his body to block Knight's cut-in and cross routes.

However, Knight, who can sit firmly in Manchester City's starting lineup with this height, does not rely on his relationship with Stewart.

Knight has a set of ideas specifically for dealing with this kind of defensive player who is taller and stronger than himself.

He stretched out his left foot and poked the ball forward. At the moment when he deceived Ambrosini's center of gravity, he quickly pulled the ball, turned around and got rid of it, creating space.

Facing the middleHe raised his right foot and successfully sent a cross pass to Modric who was inserted in the ribs.

Modric faced the ball and kicked it directly with the outside of his right foot.

"Bang!"

The football was in an arc in the air. It flew half high for a while, and then changed direction again due to the rotation after landing.

"Beautiful!"

"Modric's outside foot pass is really beautiful!"

"You thought it was a cross!"

"In fact, it was a transfer!"

"The football came to the left and found Bale on the left!"

When Bale touched the ball.

Manchester City's line had already pressed to AC Milan's penalty area.

Middle!

Su Fei and Cassano rushed into AC Milan's penalty area one after the other.

Nesta quickly stuck to Su Fei, and Maldini stopped on Su Fei's left, ready to block the pass at any time.

At the same time, Pirlo and Gattuso, two AC Milan midfielders, also retreated to the penalty area.

"Let's see if Manchester City can create an opportunity!"

"There are a lot of people in the penalty area!"

"Manchester City's forward players were sandwiched by AC Milan players."

"Bale brought the ball to the left side of the penalty area!"

"Bale!"

"Kick high!"

When the ball flew to the front of the goal, there was chaos in the penalty area, and players from both sides pushed each other to grab positions.

Su Fei saw the ball and determined where it would land.

But the trajectory of the ball was too short, and there was no chance to grab the ball in the first place.

As Su Fei expected.

After the ball fell to a certain height, it was rushed by Maldini, who headed the ball out of the penalty area.

"Prince Maldini of Milan!"

"He helped the team resolve a crisis in front of the goal!"

"But this clearance was not far..."

"Modric!!"

"Among the strong men, he fought for a header at the top of the penalty area!!"

"Header ferry!!"

The football flew towards AC Milan's goal again.

AC Milan Dida sensed the crisis and took the initiative to attack from the goal, leaping out, trying to punch the football out with his fist.

But the next moment.

Su Fei, who rose from the ground, shattered his thoughts and his self-confidence.

"Bang!!!"

The explosion sounded, and less than half a step away from the goal line, Su Fei pushed Nesta's header away.

The football instantly sank into the goal.

"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA---LLLL!"

"GGGOOOAAALLL!"

"GOAL!!!"

"Here he comes!!"

"I've waited for it!"

"Manchester City fans have finally waited for it!"

"Su Fei!"

"A super violent header in front of the goal!"

"32nd minute of the game!"

"Manchester City took the lead in breaking the deadlock!"

"With Su Fei's goal, they also successfully took a 3:2 lead in the overall score!"

"Modric!"

"The fight for the clearance was too tough!"

"There seemed to be infinite energy in his thin body."

"This is a very, very, very crucial goal!"
