After getting up, Kahn yelled angrily.
Seeing Demichelis’s attitude, Kahn couldn’t curse any further.
Demichelis walked back with his head down.
He couldn’t even understand why he had made such a ridiculous mistake.
It was as if he was holding a remote control and still looking everywhere for it.
At that moment, he really couldn’t find the ball.
Demichelis sighed heavily, rubbing his head vigorously to boost his spirits.
Bayern restarted the play.
Milan, already two goals ahead, began to defend.
In matches between strong teams, it’s rare to see constant attacking.
Retreating after gaining the lead is a more profitable choice.
After Milan fell back,
Bayern’s continuous attacks failed to find any opportunities.
Instead, it was Huang Kaiwen’s powerful throw-ins
that caused significant trouble for Bayern today.
Throw-ins can be more frequent than corner kicks.
Bayern rarely faced such an opponent.
For a time, they were thrown into disarray by the throw-ins.
In the 38th minute, Bayern’s attack reached the forward area again.
Deisler, on the right, controlled the ball, faking and dribbling past Seedorf, before making a long pass from near the sideline into the penalty area.
The ball wasn’t fast, but the arc was exaggerated.
Serginho jumped on the left but missed, letting the ball fly into the penalty area.
Seeing the situation was bad, Dida abandoned his post and rushed out to clear the ball from the penalty area.
Pizarro turned to chase the ball.
Maldini, at the edge of the penalty area, quickly cleared the ball with a kick.
The ball hit Ballack and bounced towards the middle.
Pirlo rushed up and collided with Deisler to take the ball.
The referee’s whistle blew.
Deisler, holding Pirlo’s hand, got up and took a step back apprehensively.
Although the contact wasn’t fierce,
Deisler had already grown fearful due to frequent injuries and subsequent depression.
Now, any physical contact made him fear injury.
Feeling that his body was fine, he finally relaxed.
“Deisler and Ballack both stood at the spot of the foul.”
“The position for the free kick is very dangerous, less than 30 meters from the goal.”
“Deisler took a run-up and shot, the ball went over the wall…
Dida leapt to block the ball.”
“Mackay followed up with a shot, scoring a goal, and Bayern pulled one back.”
“It looks like it’s going to be a high-scoring game today.”
Zhang chuckled as he spoke.
“Yes, but many goals are good for the fans,” Huang Jianxiang nodded and said, “Matthäus’s words before the game added a lot to the match, and the fans at San Siro are very excited today.”
“Heh, Matthäus has really put Bayern on the spot, and they definitely don’t want to lose today.”
“Milan is even less willing to agree to lose at home.”
Before the game, Matthäus said Bayern would win.
As a Bayern legend, saying so is not a problem.
But the way Matthäus spoke was different.
He said Bayern would deliver Milan a painful defeat away from home, changing the historical record between AC Milan and Bayern.
The hostility was maximized instantly.
That’s how strong Matthäus’s mouth is.
So, when he played, even though he was exceptionally talented, his teammates didn’t like him.
In both Bayern and the national team, he was fraught with conflicts with his teammates.
Even when he went to Inter Milan, nothing changed; the whole team cheered when Matthäus got injured, including two German players.
It shows how many people Matthäus’s mouth had irritated.
Today, because of Matthäus’s words, Bayern enjoyed a treatment at San Siro similar to that of Inter Milan.
Milan passed the ball several times, and Seedorf made a mistake and kicked the ball out of play.
The referee blew the whistle for half-time.
Back in the locker room.
Inzaghi squeezed next to Huang Kaiwen and asked plaintively, “Why didn’t you pass the ball to me?”
“There weren’t really any good opportunities,”
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
He hadn’t touched the ball much in the first half either.
Today, he had already limited his ball-handling, and whatever people say, Neuer is still the goalkeeper.
“Nonsense!” Inzaghi protested, “Just now when you scored, I was already in position.”
Maldini kicked Inzaghi in the butt and said, “Kevin already assisted you once, and even gave up a hat-trick to pass to you against Juventus previously.
You’re asking for too much, do you expect every one-on-one opportunity to be given to you?”
“I’m just saying,” Inzaghi muttered, sitting aside.
Seeing that most of his teammates were rested,
Maldini clapped his hands and walked to the center of the locker room, saying, “Actually, today’s match won’t affect the progression, so winning or losing isn’t that important.
But sometimes, the result of a match isn’t just about advancing, it’s also about honor.
Before the game, the Inter Milan and Bayern double legend Matthäus said he would make San Siro weep rivers today.
In the face of such bullshit, our only response is victory!!!”
The Milan players stormed out of the locker room fiercely.
The Bayern players came out.
Deisler nodded at Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen smiled in response.
The two injury-prone players shared a moment of mutual understanding.
But as soon as the second half started,
the friendly atmosphere vanished.
With Bayern kicking off, Huang Kaiwen immediately charged to press.
Schweinsteiger received the ball and quickly passed it back.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen, Demichelis also got a bit scared,
fearing another mistake that might lead to an own goal.
Without stopping the ball, Demichelis passed it to the side.
The pass was average, Seedorf squeezed in front of Deisler to take the ball, then played a straight pass to find Kaka.
Kaka, facing pressure, passed back.
After the switch of offense and defense,
Demichelis charged towards Huang Kaiwen.
