Chapter 98: Ye Luo Returns to Roots(2/2)
He couldn't understand the level of free kicks against his old friend.
At the 2000 Champions League, AC Milan vs. Barcelona. Albertini vs. Rivaldo, two world-class free kick masters fought one-on-one. The final score of that game was 3:3. If Albertini was not available, it would have been another result.
Now that he is old, someone must think that his set-piece skills have also deteriorated, right? It seems that this is the case. In Nottingham Forest, Gareth Bale is the first picker of the free kick, and the second is Eastwood. But that's because Albertini doesn't play often.
Just in the farewell match prepared by AC Milan for him in January this year, the old guy used a long-distance free kick to break the goal of Barcelona.
Anyone who dares to underestimate his free kick will be in trouble!
Maldini dared not neglect, and he even went forward to command his teammates to arrange the wall.
Albertini ran over, picked up the football, and placed it carefully on the turf.
When he raised his head and stood up, the AC Milan land man wall had not been arranged yet. Dida was commanding the human wall, and Maldini was also commanding. The scene looked a little messy. I wonder if this was a psychological tactic that AC Milan deliberately used.
Albertini was unmoved. He stepped back and waited quietly for his opponent to line up the wall.
The AC Milan landslide has been longer than usual, but the Forest players are not impatient because they have their own things to do.
Ribery suddenly came up and stood in front of the ball Albertini slapped high fives. "Come on, captain!" He turned and walked away.
The Frenchman might just be on a whim, but he brought the lead. The other forest players thought it was very handsome and ran up one by one. The second one was Van der Fate. The third one was Van Nystruey: "Do you need me to shoot?" the Dutch shooter smiled.
Many Forest players came to line up to slap their captains in high fives, which has never happened in the Forests' previous games.
The TV broadcaster and the commentator both noticed the scene that was happening on the field. No one paid attention to when AC Milan will be able to line up their walls.
"Let's see what's going on on the court...ah, all the Forest players gathered together, gathered around Albertini, brimmed with him, and said something..."
In fact, the AC Milan land wall has been lined up, but the matter on the Forest Team is not over yet. Now it is their turn to wait.
If the referee hadn't forced intervention, even goalkeeper Van der Sar would have rushed up to slap Albertini. If AC Milan was really a psychological tactic against Nottingham Forest, then they were now being counterattacked by the Forest team...
Chris Lack turned his head and looked at Tang En. He thought it must be Tang En's idea. Tang En shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, shouting injustice: "It's not me! I didn't expect such a scene at all... Don't count all the gimmicks on me, okay?"
Chris Lack smiled happily: "Who makes you always unable to live without all kinds of gimmicks?"
Wood finally slapped Albertini. Everyone slapped him. At the beginning, Albertini was surprised, but later he smiled and accepted this special treatment calmly. It was only when he saw Wood that the expression on his face changed.
He has always wanted to teach Wood to play free kicks, but this kid has zero talent in this regard. It is not easy to be able to bring football into the goal frame. Isn't it even more difficult to force the man wall and goalkeeper?
After Wood and Albertini slapped their high-fives, they opened their mouths to say something, but were interrupted by the referee's whistle.
The two turned their heads and looked at the German referee Vander with an upset look. Albertini smiled and pushed Wood: "Go away. George, don't interfere with my goal."
Wood didn't move, "I'll cover you here."
Albertini smiled even happier: "The whole world knows that you can't play free kicks."
"Then I'll watch it." Wood insisted not to give in, and Albertini had no choice but to deal with him.
In this scene behind the wall of man, Maldini really didn't know what he should feel. It seems that Demi met many new friends in England and had a happy last few years of his career, so he should be happy about it. But why did he feel a little jealous and dissatisfied as an opponent showing such a close comrade-in-arms opposite him?
"Okay. George. You'll do whatever you want. If you want to learn something, learn... I don't have a chance to teach you anything again." Albertini turned his head and said to Wood. "You will definitely not be able to learn free kicks, so I will teach you... The most important thing at this time is psychology. Here you..." He poked his heart, "You must be calm. The more critical the moment, the more calm you must be."
After saying that, Albertini turned around, looked at the wall of people opposite and the AC Milan goal, and ignored George Wood beside him, and the smile on his face disappeared.
The teammates are no longer on this court, and the walls and opponents are gone. In Albertini's eyes, there is only an empty goal on the court except himself and the football under his feet.
Standing opposite him is his former parent team, who has always loved AC Milan the most in his life. This kind of thought has not appeared in Albertini's mind at this moment. He only has one idea now, that is, score a goal!
This is my Dmitrio Albertini Road.
In Nottingham, more than half of the bars were silent at this time. If it weren't for the bright lights from outside, people who were unaware of the inside would think that these hotels were closed.
Kenny Burns did not go to the scene, he wanted to stay in his bar to help. The business was particularly good that night. The fans who could not go to Athens all chose to come to the bar they were most familiar with. Click a big glass of beer, watch the TV broadcast, and cheer for their beloved team in the distant England.
The Forest Team fans in the stands sang, and they sang in the bar, their mouths were dry and their voices were hoarse, so they ate a big mouthful of cold beer. They screamed so much that they continued to sing happily.
Now, the bar is filled with people with red faces, but there is no sound. Everyone is in the same position - holding a wine glass with his hands and looking up at the TV hanging from the ceiling. Even the waiter and the boss are no exception.
If a stranger broke in at this time, he would definitely think he had arrived in the Harry Potter world - have these people been exerted with petrified magic?
A close-up of Albertini appeared on the TV screen. He was looking ahead, with a firm look and a serious expression.
The commentator stopped talking. There was nothing on the TV speaker except the noise from the fans on the scene. For a moment, people felt the illusion that the signal was broken.
"God..." Someone finally couldn't stand this depressing silence and sighed softly.
"Beep—" the whistle sounded.
Albertini runs up, kicks and shoots!
The football went straight past the wall. It headed straight to the sky, and seemed to fly out of the stadium, and flew to the stands where AC Milan fans gathered outside.
But that's just an illusion from people's naked eyes.
The football rotates in the air, adjusting its angle. It begins to fall towards the goal.
Dida jumped hard, his height of 1.96 meters and a pair of long arms were enough to block every area of the open space above the goal.
He didn't touch football...
Football passed by his fingertips.
Are you going to leave the boundary?
No, this is the free kick shot by Dmitrio Albertini, the free kick called "Albertini's Leaf Ball"!
After passing Dida's fingertips, the football suddenly changed direction and fell suddenly!
It was just a moment, and people just felt that the trajectory of football had changed a little.
The ball fell like a leaf. It hit the lower edge of the beam and fell into the ball net.
The leaves fall back to their roots...
Albertini showed amazing football talent when he first debuted. Gulit once pointed at his teammate and said to Saki: "This is a bone." Saki replied: "Yes, he has the rhythm of playing football in his body."
AC Milan's coach discovered his talent in long shots and free kicks, so he asked him to learn to play "fallen leaves balls" that only players from north and south at that time. He succeeded. In his career, "fallen leaves balls" have become his trademark. He used this unique skill countless times to attack cities and villages for AC Milan and made many outstanding achievements.
Leaf ball = Albertini = AC Milan.
For thirteen years, this is an identity. The three of them form the most stable triangle with each other. Indestructible.
When Albertini wore a red and black sword shirt and stepped onto the San Siro field, he never thought that he would one day become an enemy of AC Milan. At that time, he just wanted to play here until he retired.
When Galliani decided to tell Albertini that "Ac Milan no longer needs you, we have young people like Pirlo and Kaka." The manager, who is famous for his savvy world football, did not expect that one day his team would fight with Albertini in the Champions League final, and... the person he didn't need gave him the most harsh knife.
"Long live!!" Nottingham, which had just been silent, burst into a huge roar, resounding throughout the night sky.
"Long live Demi! Long live Nottingham Forest!!"
"He scored! He scored!! Dmitrio Albertini! AC Milan abandoned the player, the iconic 'leaf ball'... Nottingham Forest expanded the lead to two goals!" The British commentator was excited and incoherent.
"The people we don't want gave us a fatal blow... It's too cruel and too dramatic..." The Italian commentator said weakly. Should he cheer for Albertini's sword? Perhaps after the game ends like this, they can also say mockingly: "After all, the people trained by AC Milan determine the outcome of the game..."
In the VIP seat, Berlusconi's face no longer had a polite smile, and Galiani, who was sitting next to him, leaned against the back of the chair, looking weak.
Not far apart, Nottingham Forest club chairman Evan Dogerty and his good friend, club marketing manager Alan Adams, jumped up to celebrate with each other. After the hug, Evan waved his fists excitedly to the ground.
"Beautiful job! Beautiful job!" Apart from this, he couldn't make any other sounds. He didn't care about the feelings of the senior executives of the AC Milan club next to him. After being with Tang En for a long time, he has more or less developed some of his "bad problems". When it's time to be proud, he should have a carnival and celebrate with all his heart. Why should he pay attention to others' moods?
His "role model" is crazier than him. After Albertini scored, he raised his arms and rushed into the stadium directly. He was running wildly in a suit and looked very eye-catching and alternative. If it were usual, he might have been pressed to the ground by the security guards as a naked runner who suddenly broke in, but now the stadium is noisy and the ground seems to be shaking. The security guards were a little unresponsive when they saw that Tang En was a little unresponsive and allowed him to rush onto the stadium. Don't rush into the stadium and waved his fists a few times. He ran directly to Albertini, pushing the veteran to the ground and pressing it on.
"Do it! Demi, you did it!" This was the last sentence Albertini heard clearly before being pressed by more teammates and roared.
Tang En's passionate celebration also ignited the emotions of Forest fans in the stands. They sang together and sang the song "The World in Our Hands" of Forest's twice-winning Champions League.
Michael, John, Bill and others were singing at the top of their lungs... They were not "singing" songs, they were "roaring" songs, as if they were going to roar. It seems that if they didn't do this, it wouldn't mean how excited they were at this moment.
"The world is in our hands! The world is in our hands! This damn world is held in our hands!! We are the strongest in the world -!!!"
"The songs of Nottingham Forest fans...The songs of Nottingham Forest fans resounded through the European arena again! We seemed to be back to the Munich Olympic Stadium in Germany in 1979. It was Brian Clauve's Nottingham Forest for the first time appeared in the finals of the Champions League. As soon as they appeared, they shocked the whole of Europe. No one was optimistic about them, but they finally won the championship! Twenty-eight years have passed, Tony Donn took over the mantle of the old coach Clauve and led a brand new Nottingham Forest to appear in the finals of the Champions League. This time, he vowed not to let the championship fall! 2:0! The red is back!"
