Chapter 140 The fatal through pass defeated Milan!
AC Milan, who fell behind again, immediately counterattacked. In the 65th minute, Pirlo's shot was confiscated by Cesar.
In the 68th minute, Kaka suddenly shot from outside the penalty area. The ball hit Cordoba's head, changed direction, hit the left goal post and bounced back into the penalty area. There was chaos in Inter Milan's penalty area.
Unfortunately, Shevchenko's follow-up shot was too high and AC Milan missed another good chance to score.
On the sidelines, the coaches of both teams could no longer sit still.
Ancelotti repeatedly adjusted the team's tactics and launched attacks against Inter Milan's exposed defensive loopholes.
Mancini responded accordingly and made continuous personnel adjustments to make up for the team's defensive shortcomings.
In the 72nd minute, Kaka's long shot caused Cesar to lose the ball. The Inter Milan defender accidentally kicked the opponent's player when he cleared the ball, and the ball bounced back into the penalty area.
Gilardino grabbed the ball in the chaos near the small penalty area, but Cesar held his position firmly and ruthlessly blocked his close-range shot.
AC Milan missed another chance to score.
AC Milan in the stands have been sighing and holding their heads in the past few minutes. The team's offensive during this period has clearly created enough scoring opportunities, but they always missed them for one reason or another.
Could it be that God has abandoned them today?
In the 73rd minute, Figo was elbowed by Simic while dribbling the ball, becoming the third player to bleed in the game.
The players from both teams gathered together again, swearing and pushing each other.
The atmosphere on the field gradually became strange. Players were injured one after another, which made the players on both sides angry.
Even though the referee decisively showed a yellow card to Misic, it was difficult to curb the anger of the players on both sides.
The game came to the final moments and AC Milan was still one point behind. They were extremely anxious and desperate to equalize the score before the end of the game.
Faced with the opponent's fierce attack, Inter Milan naturally refused to give up an inch and even resorted to lethal tactics to restrict the opponent.
As the most active player in AC Milan, Kaka naturally received special attention.
From the 74th minute to the 82nd minute, within just eight minutes, Kaka was fouled four times in a row.
Of course, Lin Feng wasn’t much better off.
Inter Milan's players fouled Kaka, and Milan's players fouled Lin Feng.
The same tragic experience made Lin Feng and Kaka, two brothers in distress, empathize with each other:
Why are we always the ones who get hurt?!
In the 83rd minute, Kaka was fouled again and AC Milan got a free kick on the right side of the frontcourt.
Pirlo stood at the free throw line again. This time he still did not choose to shoot directly, but passed the ball into the penalty area.
Milan defender Stam jumped high, overpowered Samuel, grabbed the ball near the penalty spot and headed the ball into the goal.
The ball flew into the dead corner on the left, and Cesar had no way to deal with Stam's header.
The number on the scoreboard became 2:2, and the score on the field was tied again!
The goal scored at the end of the game was a great morale booster for the entire Milan team.
After scoring the goal, Stam rushed to the sidelines and slid on his knees to celebrate, and several AC Milan players behind him followed suit.
The Milan fans in the south stand were like an erupting volcano at this moment, extremely passionate and excited, shouting at the top of their lungs, raising the volume to the maximum, and even suppressing the Inter fans at home for a while.
It seems that at this moment, this stadium is no longer called Meazza, but returns to its real name - San Siro!
Seeing the opponent equalize the score in the final moments of the game, everyone in Inter Milan was extremely frustrated.
On the court, Adriano supported his knees with his hands, breathing heavily, staring at the numbers on the scoreboard, looking extremely confused.
On the sidelines, Mancini covered his forehead and shook his head:
Is the five-game winning streak coming to an end?
In the stands, Inter Milan fans, who had shouted for almost the entire game until their voices were hoarse, seemed at this moment to have all the strength drained out of their bodies. They collapsed in their seats, no longer having the energy to cheer for the team.
However, just when almost everyone was about to give up and thought the game was about to end in a draw, there were still people on the field who did not give up.
The Inter Milan player wearing the No. 8 jersey seemed to be unaffected. He picked up the ball from his own goal, returned to the center circle, put the ball at his feet, and patiently waited for the other team to finish celebrating.
His face was very calm, without any panic or confusion on his face.
All I see is the firm belief in victory and the persistence in the game!
After seeing Lin Feng's actions, the two CCTV commentators looked at each other, and finally He Wei spoke:
"When his teammates were about to give up, Lin Feng didn't give up. Perhaps this is the key quality that allowed him to grow to this level!"
"Indeed, this quality is worth learning for our Chinese players. In the past, when we were behind, the players often lost their fighting spirit and chose to accept their fate.
But as long as the game is not over, everything is possible!
There have been countless reversals and even buzzer beaters in football history. You should never give up easily! "
As if awakened by Lin Feng's actions, the fighting spirit of the other Inter Milan players recovered a lot. They quickly returned to their positions, waiting for the game to resume.
The game is not over yet. Including injury time, Inter Milan still has at least ten minutes to attack.
If they can seize this last moment, they have a good chance of changing the score again.
AC Milan is indeed strong, but Inter Milan’s two previous goals have proved that they have the strength to defeat their opponents!
If they don't fight for their lives now and miss the opportunity to overtake AC Milan in the standings, Inter Milan will have to rank below their city rivals for a long time to come.
"Be careful, you must defend at the last moment, and don't let the opponent score again!"
Kaka saw what Lin Feng did just now, so he couldn't help but remind his teammates not to take it lightly.
It's just a tie now, AC Milan doesn't have any leading advantage. If the opponent scores another goal, they will be the ones to be defeated!
Unfortunately, his teammates seemed to be in high spirits and no one took his words to heart:
"Haha, we are in such a good momentum now, we should continue to strengthen our offense, why should we retreat to defense?"
"Yes, we are still 5 points behind Juventus. A draw is not enough for us. We must get three points!"
AC Milan's morale is high, and they have never lost the Milan derby in the past few seasons.
The last time we lost to Inter Milan in a final was six years ago!
The past record of encounters, plus the morale boost brought by the recent equalization, made them feel good and they wanted to press on with their victory and once again trample their city rivals under their feet.
Seeing that his teammates were full of confidence and ignored his advice.
Kaka felt a little helpless, but he didn't know what to say.
Talking too much will not only have no effect, but will also cause disgust among teammates.
Since your teammates don’t take it seriously, then do it yourself!
Kaka's eyes were fixed on Lin Feng. He decided to keep an eye on Lin Feng himself and not give the opponent a chance to score the winning goal. "Ade, remember what I said to you at the beginning of the season?"
While waiting for the restart, Lin Feng suddenly asked Adriano in front of him.
"Huh? What?"
Adriano obviously didn't remember what Lin Feng said.
"You asked me to give you more assists, and I told you: As long as you can run into space, I will definitely pass the ball to your feet!"
Adriano perked up and finally remembered.
"Yes, you did say that, and you did what you said. You really gave me a lot of assists!"
The reason why Adriano recognized Lin Feng and even regarded him as his good friend was because Lin Feng fed him a lot of cake, which made him like him very much.
This kind of good teammate who always keeps his word and actually gives assists when he says he will, which forward wouldn’t like that?
"What I said is still valid now, so you know what to do next?"
Adriano nodded heavily: "Lin, don't worry, I will tear open Milan's defense with my own hands, just pass the ball to me without worry!"
With Adriano's assurance, Lin Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The opponents were very targeted against him in this game. Ancelotti should have specially arranged tactics to restrict him before the game and would not easily give him the opportunity to charge forward.
And once the opponent sees that the situation is not good, they will immediately use tactical fouls to prevent him from advancing with the ball.
In this situation, it would be very difficult for Lin Feng to equalize the score on his own.
He needs to rely on the help of his teammates!
The game restarted. After Inter Milan kicked off, Lin Feng controlled the ball under his feet and did not rush to attack.
He was waiting patiently, waiting for his opponent to make a mistake.
Originally, under Kaka's reminder, Milan's players were wary of Inter Milan's counterattack after the kick-off.
But after waiting for a few minutes, I found that the opponent not only did not launch an attack in a hurry, but instead started to pass the ball back in the backcourt.
This made them feel that the opponent did not seem to intend to continue attacking, but instead wanted to maintain a draw?
Haha, you want to maintain a draw, but we are not happy about that!
So no one took Kaka's reminder seriously anymore, and almost everyone rushed out and started a crazy attack on Inter Milan.
Under the crazy scramble of Milan players, Inter Milan's backcourt was in constant danger and the ball was almost snatched away by the storage area several times.
But Lin Feng was still not in a hurry. He was waiting for the most appropriate time to pass the ball.
Time passed little by little, and the game soon reached the 86th minute.
There were only a few minutes left in the game, but the battle was still going on in Inter Milan's half, which made the fans in the stands extremely anxious.
"Attack? Why do you want to stay in your own half?"
"Why is Adriano still standing in the front? Why doesn't he come back to join the defense? Our midfield passing routes have been strangled. He is alone in the frontcourt and can't play any role at all!"
"He can at least pose some threat to Milan in the front and distract the opponent. If he comes back, all the defenders of Milan will come up and our defensive pressure will be even greater!"
"Alas, in the final analysis, our midfield strength is not as good as that of the opponent. Apart from Lin Feng, the others are of little use, especially Veron. Every time I see him get the ball, I am terrified, afraid that he will be intercepted!"
"If Mancini hadn't replaced Cruz with Stankovic, our midfield would have been lost long ago!"
Amid the fans' discussions, the game reached the 87th minute.
Lin Feng retreated to receive the ball, but Gattuso stuck to Lin Feng like a piece of taffy, making it impossible for him to turn around.
Lin Feng passed the ball to Veron as usual. Veron played as a classic attacking midfielder and his ball passing speed was relatively slow. Gattuso saw that the opponent was very close to him, so he abandoned Lin Feng and rushed towards Veron, intending to cooperate with Seedorf to double-team Veron.
As for Lin Feng, Milan's defense is rotation-based. If one person leaves his position, his teammates will be there to fill in at any time.
Behind Gattuso is Pirlo, and he believes that Pirlo will definitely fill his vacancy.
Gattuso guessed correctly, Pirlo did fill his position.
But compared to Gattuso, Pirlo's defensive experience and defensive ability are obviously much weaker.
Seeing Gattuso leave, Lin Feng immediately approached Veron. Veron was about to be double-teamed from the front and back by his opponents, but when he saw Lin Feng coming, he hurriedly passed the ball to him.
Seeing that Lin Feng was about to receive the ball, Pirlo immediately stuck to him, trying to block his position like Gattuso did, making it impossible for Lin Feng to turn around.
However, Lin Feng made a move that he did not expect!
Instead of catching the ball, he used his heel to knock the ball behind him, allowing the ball to pass Pirlo. He then turned around and chased after the ball from the other side!
Pirlo was running forward and suddenly saw the ball rolling past him. He quickly braked, but before he could stop, he saw Lin Feng also slipping away from him.
The Milan players on the field were unprepared for this scene. When Lin Feng passed Pirlo, they had no time to return to defense, but there was one exception, that was Kaka!
Kaka felt that something was wrong as soon as Gattuso left and abandoned Lin Feng and rushed towards Veron.
When Lin Feng passed Pirlo, Kaka had already caught up from behind and was catching up with Lin Feng who was sprinting with the ball!
The following scene occurred on the field:
Lin Feng, wearing a blue and black jersey, was running with the ball, while Kaka, wearing a red and black jersey, was chasing closely behind him.
This is a battle of speed and passion!
Kaka gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and tried to increase his speed to the maximum.
Lin Feng also used all his strength to accelerate and speed up with the ball!
The speed of the two is almost the same, but Lin Feng is still a little slower than Kaka when dribbling the ball.
When Lin Feng reached the 30-meter area of Milan, Kaka caught up with him from behind.
Kaka didn't care about getting a card for a foul or anything like that. He slammed Lin Feng hard with his shoulder from the side, knocking him to the ground.
I'm sorry, I had to do this!
When Kaka knocked Lin Feng over, he still felt a little guilty, as if he had done something unforgivable.
He was already prepared to apologize to Lin Feng, and he was just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle so that he could pull the other person up.
However, the expected whistle did not appear and the crisis on the field was not resolved.
"Kaka's tactical foul!"
"He knocked Lin Feng down!"
"But Lin Feng had already passed the ball before Kaka committed a foul!"
"Adriano shook off Stam and had a one-on-one chance!"
Facing the goalkeeper who was rushing out, Adriano calmly shot to the right. This time, he did not waste the opportunity!
The football hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the net.
The score became 3:2, and Inter Milan defeated the opponent in the final moments of the game!
