Chapter 439 Manchester City Is Invincible!
Morris is not only the core of Manchester City's midfield, but also a player with high hopes in English football.
Among the midfielders in England, neither Gerrard nor Lampard belong to the kind of players with top skills. They even say that compared to world football, their skills are a bit rough, but Morris is different. The technique is very delicate and gorgeous, and some fans even call him 'England's midfield master'.
Of course, the title is entirely a compliment.
But it is undeniable that Maurice's foot skills are really good. He has better organizational and offensive ability than Gerrard and others, and also has certain leadership skills.
Morris is very important in the current England team.
So when Morris was injured, the British media were worried about him. When he returned from injury, the British media continued to report on him, whether it was positive or negative, in short, his state was a lot of people. concerned.
But since his comeback, Morris' performance has not been so good. In the three rounds of the league he has played, he has played two games and one game for 10 minutes. In 190 minutes of game time, Morris did not play. One goal, one assist.
This grade was unqualified for him.
So the British media are saying things like 'Morris' performance disappointed Wansheng', 'Wansheng has given up Morris' and so on. Might not start at the San Siro'.
These reports are all from the heart, and of course they are very true.
In fact, even the media that support Manchester City, such as the "Guardian", when talking about Morris's state and performance, the evaluation is negative, the only thing they have better than other media is that they will think that Morris is just a 'Temporarily not in a good state', and stated, "...Hopefully he can recover as soon as possible."
The reports 'bewildered' Italians.
The Italians could not have imagined that many of the reports from the British media would be 'false'. When they pointed out the possibility of 'AC Milan knocking out Manchester City' before the game, they would also be added by Maurice's poor state to show that AC Milan was against Manchester City. The advantages.
Many Italian media have made similar reports. From the point of view of an ordinary fan, Maurice is just recovering from injury and is not in good shape. It is difficult to perform well in the near future even if he plays. It can be said that almost everyone believes it.
AC Milan coach Ancelotti is no exception. Before the game, he naturally has to analyze Manchester City's recent performance and state, and Morris will also be the player to focus on.
But he did not expect that the reports of the British media and Italian media were all "fake", and he felt that he had been deceived by the media of both sides.
Ancelotti felt a headache when he saw Maurice active on the field.

At this point, on the field, Morris felt in great shape.
He was very satisfied with his performance and became very excited, and he felt that there has never been a better time than now.
He constantly used running and passing to drive the team's offensive rhythm, completely suppressing the opponent AC Milan, and when necessary, he kept plugging in to look for opportunities.
In the 36th minute of the game, Morris cut in and passed the ball, which almost gave Torres a chance to push the empty goal. Unfortunately, the opponent's central defender Nesta defended too tightly and took the ball first. Kicked the bottom line, Torres failed to grab the ball.
Still, Morris was unanimously praised for his performance.
"Morris was very active in this game!"
"Italians are touting Kaka, they say Kaka is the best midfielder in the world, but in this game we can see that Maurice is better than Kaka," said BBC Radio and TV commentator Ryan John. Too much, he alone has caused AC Milan a headache. And Kaka has only shot from the outside so far, which has not caused much threat to Manchester City..."
"Seeing Morris like this, we can rest assured. After returning from injury, he finally found his form."
In Ryan John's analysis of Morris' performance, the situation on the court has changed.
Manchester City played a very exciting attack.
Maurice, Ozil and Ivan Crewe continued to cooperate on the right, making AC Milan's defensive formation full of loopholes, and central defender Giuseppe Favalli had to plug in the defense.
As a result, AC Milan's defense appeared loopholes.
For Morris, this kind of free time will not be missed. When he saw the football rolling towards him again, he immediately glanced at the AC Milan penalty area. At this moment, he heard a voice.
"Here! Give it to me!"
It was Darren Bent's cry, he was in an open position.
Morris pushed the ball over with little hesitation, but Darren Bent's shout also attracted the defense, and by the time the ball flew over, Gattuso was already behind him.
Darren Bent was helpless and could only run one step forward to meet the ball.
At this moment, he saw Morris had run up and waved, Darren Bent immediately pushed the ball back.
Immediately, Morris caught the ball and ran out of the space!
"Beautiful cooperation! Bent pushed back and Morris ran out of space! Good chance!"
Ryan - John shouted hello.
After Morris passed the ball, everyone's attention was on Darren Bent, but they didn't care about Morris, but after receiving the ball, Morris ran forward immediately, a few seconds. Enough for him to run a few meters.
When he received the pass, he had come to the right side of the penalty area, and there was no defensive player beside him.
At the moment of swiping his foot, Morris glanced at the door and saw that Nesta gave up his defense against Torres and rushed towards himself.
"Shoot-"
Ryan-John roared, but the next moment he saw that Morris's high-waving foot gently lowered and pushed the ball diagonally.
"...No, it's a pass..."
"Torres Torres Torres!"
Torres!
Nesta has been marking Torres just now. He knows that this young Spanish striker is Manchester City's top scorer in the Champions League and is a great threat to the team's goal, but when he sees Morris running out of the space, he can only go over to make up the defense. , otherwise Morris will face the goalkeeper directly.
Seeing Maurice swinging his right foot, Nesta subconsciously jumped up and tried to block the ball with his body.
But he was deceived!
Morris passes the ball and the ball rolls towards Torres.
Torres, without any defense, saw the football roll in front of him, and he was standing in the penalty area.
At this moment, he was a little stunned.
But Torres is experienced, he doesn't even think about how the opportunity came to be so good, the most important thing at the moment is... shoot!
Torres lifted his foot and volleyed hard!
The football was like a cannonball, he was blasted to the goal!
AC Milan goalkeeper Zeliko Karachi struggled to save, but unfortunately he didn't have an arm more than two meters long. He couldn't do anything about the ball that quickly rushed into the dead corner.
The football crossed the goal line in a straight line and slammed into the side net.
————
When the football flew into the goal, many Milan fans covered their eyes in pain.
At the beginning of the game, when AC Milan and Manchester City were attacking and defending each other, they had nothing to worry about, but then the game seemed to enter 'Man City time'. AC Milan was suppressed and it was difficult to attack, and Manchester City's attack frequently threatened the team's goal. .
Even if the goal is constantly threatened, Milan fans still believe that the team can defend, and they also believe that the team can find opportunities to counterattack, because AC Milan has never let them down, and there are top stars such as Kaka and Pirlo in the team, they believe in the ball. The team is only temporarily underperforming.
But with this goal, some Milan fans realized the crisis.
Manchester City's offensive play is too exciting!
This goal is simply speechless, AC Milan's defense is completely penetrated by Manchester City's dazzling cooperation!
In the pain of Milan fans, the Manchester City fans who came with the team to the San Siro stadium cheered excitedly.
San Siro Stadium, the Italian territory, their team leads 1-0, which means that the team has achieved a great advantage. In fact, when they learned that the team's opponent was AC Milan, many Manchester City fans were not confident , One is that AC Milan is the top giant in Europe, and its reputation is much bigger than that of Manchester City, and the other is that the team lost to AC Milan last season, just like the media said, 'the same is the Champions League quarter-finals, the same is AC Milan '.
So, can the team really achieve revenge?
But the moment they saw Torres score, Manchester City fans had more confidence in the team.
What is AC Milan? ?
What is the defending champion? ?
Even if it is AC Milan, if it encounters Manchester City, it will still be eliminated! Manchester City is invincible in Europe!
On the field, Manchester City players have already started to celebrate.
After Torres scored, his first reaction was to run to Morris and hug him tightly.
The Spanish 'Golden Boy' is very excited!
This is not the first goal Torres scored in the Champions League. In fact, he has scored six goals in the group stage before, and is currently the player with the most goals in the Champions League.
But this ball has a different meaning!
The opponent in this field is AC Milan!
AC Milan is the top giant in Europe. The defending champion of the Champions League this season is more than a hundred times stronger than Glasgow Rangers and Stuttgart. Lyon, a French giant, cannot compare with AC Milan at all.
So after completing the goal, Torres was very excited. He hugged Morris who contributed assists. Torres was very grateful to Morris, because of the ball just now, Morris could have shot by himself, but he chose to throw the ball. pass it on to yourself.
Morris is also very happy.
The goal belongs to Torres, but he is not a striker who scores in front. For him, the assist data is more important than the goal, and what makes him more happy is his performance.
After the attack just now, Morris already knew that he was back to his pre-injury state, and...feeling better!
right!
is better!
Why perform better? Because I found my goal!
Morris couldn't help looking at the coach's bench.
Wan Sheng was cheering with the others, but as if aware of his gaze, he also looked this way. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Immediately Morris was more determined! (To be continued ~^~)
