Chapter 451 Great Goal!
After Manchester City scored their second goal, the two teams were deadlocked for a while, and the first half was quickly over.
At halftime, Wansheng praised the performance of the players and asked everyone to make persistent efforts, "Hold on until the last minute, don't give them any chance!"
Wan Sheng repeatedly emphasized defense, "Defense is more important than offense. If you don't let them score, they will have no hope. Not conceding a goal is more important than scoring a goal! There are only 45 minutes left, and we can win until the end!"
If you want to beat the opponent, you must pay attention to the defense. If AC Milan scores a goal, then they have hope again, because if they score another goal, they can directly eliminate Manchester City.
This little hope... Absolutely can't be given!
Therefore, Wansheng emphasizes the most on defense. He hopes that the team can keep the goal and prevent AC Milan from scoring easily.
Wansheng is still very confident in the team's offensive ability. As long as the team plays steadily, it will not be easy for AC Milan to fully defend.

Soon it was time for the second half of the game.
The two teams fought side by side.
At the opening stage of the second half, AC Milan launched a stormy offensive, but in the face of Manchester City's strict defense, they had few ways to break through the goal.
The tactics arranged by Ancelotti still focus on the individual performance of the players in the frontcourt. He hopes to use the players' abilities to break through the defense, but when Manchester City retreats and deploys a dense defensive formation, no matter how skilled the frontcourt is There is no good way.
The star Kaka, who was highly expected by the Italian media and fans, was completely lost in the second half.
In the first half, Kaka still performed well a few times, but in the second half, facing Manchester City's dense formation, he had no way to do anything in front of him. It was difficult to fight with his teammates, and it was difficult for him to break through. Defensively, the speed and skill he relies on are hard to play.
The best player at this time became Morris.
Morris had an assist in the first half, but in terms of overall performance, it was not very outstanding. Manchester City's best player was Ozil. The German boy had a goal and an assist. In Manchester City's offensive, he Almost shining the audience, the limelight overshadowed the other 21 players.
It's different now.
Morris and Ozil are not the same type of players. Morris has a very comprehensive ability. His offensive ability is quite good, and his defensive ability is also very outstanding. He stands at the front of the penalty area and keeps running, almost by himself. An invisible wall was erected in front of the Manchester City penalty area.
AC Milan want to break the wall is not easy.
They tried their best to cooperate continuously to break through the defense of Manchester City's midfield, but in the penalty area, Dunn and Sun Jihai, two stable center backs, also made AC Milan players scratch their heads.
So the game entered a stalemate stage.
Neither AC Milan nor Manchester City can break the opponent's door, but the situation is clearly in Manchester City's favor, because they lead AC Milan 4-2 in the two rounds.
As long as the game ends like this, Manchester City will be able to eliminate AC Milan and enter the Champions League semi-finals.
Under the pressure of the score, AC Milan could only bite the bullet and continue to launch a mad attack on Manchester City's penalty area. This mad attack also made them temporarily forget the defense. For AC Milan at this time, defense is meaningless, because No matter how many goals they concede, they have only one result - they are eliminated by Manchester City, and they must score in order to qualify.
Then Morris saw an opportunity.
This was a steal in the backcourt. Sun Jihai stabbed Kaka's ball, and Morris ran over to stab Silva first.
Manchester City launched a counterattack!
Morris ran forward quickly and waved for the ball. Ivan Crewe, who received the ball on the wing, kicked the ball across.
Morris received the pass and rushed forward immediately!
AC Milan defense suddenly tense up.
When Morris dribbled the ball over the center line, Gattuso had already come over. Gattuso had been in the backcourt and rarely participated in the attack. This time he still did not plug in, but stood behind to guard against Manchester City's counterattack.
Facts have proved that his choice was correct.
Morris dribbled the ball across the center line quickly, and Gattuso had time to rush over to defend. Just when the two quickly staggered, Morris kicked the ball forward hard with his big foot, which seemed to be too hard.
Gattuso let out a long sigh when he saw the ball, and was about to turn around to make a clearance, but at this moment, Morris accelerated suddenly and rushed past him. When Gattuso reacted, it was too late. He almost watched Morris catch the ball.
"Maurice! He dribbled past Gattuso!"
Ryan-John yelled.
Gattuso was unwilling to be swayed by Morris, and when Morris rushed past him, he reached out and pulled Morris's jersey.
Referee Bol subconsciously put the whistle in his mouth.
But Morris didn't stop. His pulled body was a little unstable, but he rushed out. Gattuso was pulled with force and almost fell to the ground. As a result, he still failed to stop Morris.
Suddenly, the voice of Manchester Stadium was even louder!
————
Wan Sheng, who was still sitting on the coach's bench just now, stood up immediately when he saw Morris driving the ball past Gattuso.
He walked slowly to the sidelines, keeping his eyes on Morris.
This is a great opportunity!
At the same time, it is also a test of Morris' ability. There is only Torres in the frontcourt of Manchester City, and he is defended by Nesta. He wants to see how much Morris can do!
————
Morris didn't care about Gattuso at all. When the offense was favorable, he didn't care about the opponent's foul. After catching the ball, he continued to move forward.
He is quite fast!
AC Milan's half was a bit empty, but the two central defenders Giuseppe Favalli and Nesta still came to defend, forming a 2-on-2 situation in the frontcourt.
Morris dribbled the ball forward, Giuseppe Favalli approached from the side, and he rushed in front of Morris, trying to block head-on.
Morris made a forward move, as if to accelerate, Favali hurriedly rushed over, preparing to stop Morris' breakthrough.
At this time, Morris swung his right foot, and his position was five meters before the penalty area, and he could shoot.
AC Milan and Manchester City are very well prepared for the game. They know the ability of every player in Manchester City. Morris, as the core of the team, is naturally the opponent that is being studied. Every player in AC Milan knows that Morris has scored. A lot of long-range shots, his superb footwork is enough to place outside the penalty area and pose a great threat to the goal.
So when he saw Morris lift his foot, Favali almost subconsciously flew out and stretched out his right leg, trying to block Morris' shot with his leg.
But the next moment, Maurice swung his right foot high, put it down gently, and cut the ball inward with a big dunk.
Morris then dunked the ball to the right and jumped over the right leg himself.
Favali was left behind!
"Beautiful! Maurice! He left Favari behind!" Ryan-John yelled.
Although Favali did not stop Morris, he also succeeded in slowing Morris's dribbling down. Gattuso behind him had already caught up. He came around from one side and wanted to stop Morris again.
Just then, Morris raised his right leg again.
Gattuso subconsciously wants to block the eye-catching, he still has some brains, he thinks that it was a fake move just now, this time he has reached the penalty area line, it must not be fake, right?
It's a pity... it's still a fake!
Morris dunked the ball inward, leaving Gattuso behind again, and at the same time, he had dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
The whole Manchester Stadium is boiling with it!
————
"Maurice! Maurice! He passed Gattuso and Favalli in a row, and rushed into the AC Milan penalty area with the ball!"
"This is a good opportunity! There is only Nesta in the penalty area! Maybe Torres will usher in his ninth goal in the Champions League..."
Not only Ryan John thinks this way, many people think so, because after Morris rushed into the penalty area, Nesta had to give up the defense of Torres to intercept Morris.
Nesta thought so too.
He gave up the defense of Torres, but the running route has been blocked between Maurice and Torres. At the same time, goalkeeper Karachi also attacked and blocked, and he and Nesta formed a double-team against Maurice.
Many people shouted, "Pass the ball! Pass the ball!"
If Morris can pass the ball to Torres, it means that Torres will face an empty goal, but the premise is that the ball can be passed in the past, but Nesta is very experienced and he has been blocking the passing route.
Finally Nesta and Maurice got close.
This powerful Italian defender is just a ferocious tackle. This tackle is fierce, ruthless, and quasi-exhaustive, all of which prove Nesta's one-on-one defensive ability.
But what no one thought was that Morris steadfastly flicked the ball to the right again.
Between this wave, it was worthy of avoiding Hierro's shovel.
Then Morris followed with a jump, Nesta fell to the ground, the goalkeeper Karachi froze behind, and Morris twisted his waist fiercely to catch up with the ball.
"Morris! Morris!"
"AC Milan's defense was almost passed by him alone! Gattuso, Favalli, Nesta, he passed three defenders!"
Morris' performance raised Ryan John's voice by an octave, and before he could say anything, he saw Morris shoot.
An arc shot from the outer instep!
The football suddenly rushed forward against the turf. In Karachi's desperate eyes, it crossed the small penalty area and rolled into AC Milan's goal without hindrance!
Suddenly Manchester Stadium fell into a sea of cheers.
————
“Goooooooooooal!!!”
"Maurice Maurice Maurice Maurice—"
"Unbelievable, he scored a great goal! Great! It's no exaggeration to say that, he dribbled the ball over two thirds of the pitch, passed three players and scored!"
"In the game against AC Milan, he completed a personal train! He completed the goal alone! AC Milan has nothing to do with such a goal!"
"Great goal! Great Morris!" (To be continued ~^~)
