Chapter 3154 There's a reason why it's expensive! Thank you to the expert [Sun and Moon Au
It must be said that both teams' players were in mediocre form.
The first 20 minutes had very few exciting moments.
Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry, but patiently looked for an opportunity.
Löw had previously analyzed Mancini's tactics.
Mancini completely overturned Italy's traditional defensive counter-attacking style, instead adopting an attacking style of football based on passing and possession.
The 433 formation is widely used... Just like this lineup, the official name is 4231, but it's actually 433!
The midfielders Jorginho, Barella, and Verratti are all top-class midfielders in Europe.
This midfield setup emphasizes a balance between attack and defense, with the full-backs actively participating in the attack!
Offensively, they emphasize high pressing and quick transitions, while defensively they rely on teamwork and coordinated defense.
However, they slowed down the pace for the first 20 minutes.
The German team wasn't in a hurry either, and instead quickly got into the game.
25 minutes 49 seconds.
The German team moved the ball to the right side.
Kimmich attempted an inside cut but was blocked by the opponent.
He decisively passed the ball to Gnabry on the right.
Gnabry quickly crossed the ball!
"Boom!"
The football flew towards the near post with a visible arc.
Ye Chen, who was standing in front of the door, also quickly ran forward.
However, another figure was even faster.
It's goalkeeper Donnarumma!
In his previous life, Donnarumma left AC Milan on a free transfer, which made Milan fans extremely resentful.
Milan fans~~
But it's different now.
Because of Ye Chen's intervention, Paris Saint-Germain brought in Maignan.
AC Milan, on the other hand, retained Donnarumma.
So when Donnarumma succeeded in his attack, thunderous applause erupted.
These are their own children.
However, Solskjaer in the stands knew that Donnarumma was not going to stay.
Manchester City of the English Premier League has submitted an offer to buy Donnarumma.
He spends a hundred million at a time.
What is this called?
That's outrageously extravagant!
Solskjaer's idea is to replace him with another goalkeeper—after all, 100 million euros is equivalent to 600 to 700 million RMB, and it's really hard to refuse.
This can be interpreted as Manchester City giving away far too much!
28 minutes 13 seconds.
Italy's attack stalled, and Germany launched a counterattack.
Wang Chu made a diagonal pass from the middle lane, finding his good brother.
Ye Chen received the ball at the top of the center circle.
Just when everyone thought Ye Chen was going to continue dribbling the ball.
He pushed the ball forward half a step.
next second.
A long-range shot from at least 35 meters away has been launched!
"boom!"
The immense force caused the football to produce a loud, muffled thud.
And the football took off in an instant.
With unstoppable momentum, it flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.
This is an unconventional shooting area.
But for Ye Chen, they were already within firing range.
The ball is moving incredibly fast!
The air currents it created along the way even caused the blades of grass on the lawn to tremble slightly.
The lights at San Siro followed the ball's trajectory, drawing a penetrating orange arc across the night sky!
The ball used in today's game is orange!
Donaruma, who was standing in front of the door, was still running back, afraid that Ye Chen would pull the door down.
Upon hearing the loud noise, his pupils contracted instantly, and his body reacted.
He instantly pushed off the ground and lunged to his left!
Donnarumma's body stretched to its limit in the air, his fingertips almost touching the edge of the ball, but he was just half an inch short...
"Shua~~~"
The ball grazed the inside of the goalpost and slammed into the net. The net was dented by the impact and then bounced back sharply!
At that moment, the entire San Siro seemed to be silenced; the breaths of tens of thousands of spectators stopped for a second, and only the lingering sound of the swaying net announced the birth of this world-class goal.
"Goooooooooooal!!!"
A stunning long-range goal!
"Precision guidance from Ye!"
The next second, the German fans in the north stand of the stadium erupted first.
German fans are here!
The previously tense fans instantly jumped up, waving black, red, and gold flags, and throwing scarves into the air, creating a flowing sea of color.
Some people hugged each other tightly and roared, some ran wildly with their arms raised, and some fans even knelt down with excitement, pounding their fists on the stands to release their pent-up emotions.
Ye Chen also rushed to the sidelines and gave a "Siu" celebration that fans are very familiar with.
Spin, jump, turn 180 degrees.
Many Italian fans also instinctively shouted – after all, there were quite a few AC Milan fans among them.
Although Ye Chen has not been here for long, there are still many of his graffiti works on the streets and alleys of Milan.
What's the saying?
One day in glory, a lifetime in glory.
Just like when Ye Chen came to Milan, he was welcomed by countless Milan fans.
So cute!
Ye Chen's [Long Shot Guaranteed to Go] card once again helped Germany break the deadlock on the field.
Löw on the sidelines was very satisfied.
The next step is to follow Italy's path and leave them with no way out—defense and counter-attack.
Italy's attack is indeed quite average, and like other strong teams, they have never had a top-class striker who can deliver the decisive blow.
Therefore, the offensive was more bark than bite.
35 minutes 29 seconds.
Kimmich once again partnered with Gnabry on the right flank.
Gnabry cut inside, drawing the defender away, and Kimmich earned a one-on-one opportunity.
The retreating Insigne is watching with predatory eyes.
But Kimmich was like a bicycle, suddenly accelerating.
He immediately sent the ball to the near post!
In the crowd, Ye Chen instantly sprang into action, once again entangled with Bastoni.
They just met in the Champions League final, and now they're facing off again.
However, Ye Chen's judgment of the landing point and his heading skills once again gave him the upper hand.
"Boom!"
A powerful header shot.
Donarumatti, who was in front of the goal, moved towards the near post.
Just as the football was flying towards him, he swatted it out of bounds with his left hand!
"Ouch!" He Wei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Wow, that's Donnarumma's amazing save!"
The ball, in terms of both angle and speed, was heading straight for the corner.
But Donnarumma stopped him!
There's only one downside to expensive things—they're expensive!
Donnarumma, who made a brilliant save, was still reminding his teammates to stay focused.
We're already down by one goal, we can't afford to let them score again.
Everyone says Germany's defense is bad, but you only know after playing against them that it's not actually that bad...
Especially against teams that lack attacking firepower.
"Beep~"
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
Kroos held up three fingers in the corner area.
"Boom!"
Start quickly and send the ball directly to the middle area.
in the crowd.
A figure leaped high into the air as if uprooted from dry land.
Even with Bastoni and Bonucci around to interfere.
But he remained unmoved!
"boom!"
A close-range headbutt!
Donnarumma in front of the goal had no time to react...
"Shu~"
The football hits the net!
The previously noisy scene fell silent once again.
Ye Chen, who scored the goal, then charged towards Kroos—
Kroos smiled as Ye Chen's question to him came to mind: "Tony, want an assist?"
It's true, you can get it just by giving it to you!
P.S.: Thank you so much to [日月正品] for the amazing verification!! It wasn't easy~ *crying emoji*
