The Bernabéu crowd could not help but hold their breaths as they focused on the threatening offensive in AC Milan's penalty area.
Raúl was rushing to the falling football, and Kalac had already abandoned the goal. He could not be the first to touch the ball, but he had to expand the defensive area as soon as possible. He knew that if he let Raúl stop the ball, then he could only leave his fate to a miracle on the goal line!
Maldini and Nesta were still very calm in such a crisis situation.
Maldini chased from the right side behind Raúl, and Nesta ran straight to the left side where Raúl might shoot!
Raúl watched the football about to fall. He had to go forward at full speed in order to get rid of Maldini and Nesta. Otherwise, he knew that once he was entangled by either of the two men, then his shooting and handling of the ball would be affected. It was very likely that he would ruin the God-given opportunity created by Qin Xiong.
However, he ran past it!
Raúl was too fast in order to get rid of the pursuers. At this time, he also knew that if he stopped suddenly, it would be very awkward to handle the ball, so he took a gamble!
He directly turned and jumped to return the ball with a header!
Time seemed to slow down at that moment. The moment Raúl looked back after he jumped, he saw a figure, which doubled his confidence. He made the right bet!
He tried his best to return the ball with the header!
The football was pressed down by his forehead and headed diagonally behind him!
Nesta, Maldini, and the goalkeeper, Kalac, were really a little confused at this time!
They looked back and saw a lightning-fast figure greet the football that Raúl had ferried with his header. After rushing up, he directly used his foot to lift the ball high!
The football once again flew over the heads of Nesta, Raúl, and Kalac's head!
Nesta had just stopped and turned around. At this time, he was no longer able to turn around and sprint explosively. Kalac fell to the ground in a panic, and Maldini was the same. He was no longer able to change direction to sprint to save his teammate.
The Real Madrid fans in the Bernabéu stands had already erupted into thunderous cheers!
Qin Xiong!
After the heel pass, Qin Xiong charged into the penalty area, which was what he had to do as a shadow striker, unlike an attacking midfielder who had to judge the situation before deciding whether to charge into the penalty area.
This time, he pushed the ball forward and completed another pass. He passed Maldini, Nesta, and Kalac at once!
He was afraid that the football would bounce over the crossbar, so he still rushed forward after the ball.
After bypassing Nesta, who was unable to defend against him, Qin Xiong strode into the penalty area. The football fell at this time, and there was a completely empty goal in front of him. He steadily shot the ball into the goal with his foot foot. he shot....... he shot shot into the goal!
After the goal, he slowed down and finally stood in front of AC Milan's goal line. He turned and looked up. All the players on the field, including the audience and reporters in the stands, were focused on him.
He raised his finger and pointed at Raul with a joyful smile on his face.
"Oh my God! Qin Xiong has completed a stunning goal break!
Originally, his heel pass into the penalty area was already amazing. Who would have thought that after Raúl's header, Qin Xiong would also complete a volley pass, and then quickly charge into the penalty area to complete the goal break!
This ball can be called a work of art!
Because after Ramos passed the ball to Qin Xiong with a high ball, the football did not land in the process of flying into AC Milan's goal!
Real Madrid has broken through AC Milan's goal!
1:0！”
The Real Madrid players came forward to congratulate Qin Xiong on his goal. The older teammates patted Qin Xiong on the head, as if Qin Xiong's goal also made them proud.
At the end of the celebration, Qin Xiong waved his fist toward the stands with a confident smile on his face.
Ancelotti heaved a sigh of relief on the sidelines.
He had to remind AC Milan's defensive midfielder on the sidelines that they must keep an eye on Qin Xiong at all times!
Would there be a problem if he went to help defend the flank like Gattuso did just now?
Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem at all!
But there was a big problem today.
There was no second player in Real Madrid's formation who could be compared to Qin Xiong's threat!
They must keep an eye on him!
As for the threat of the other players, sorry, they could only let nature take its course and see how the situation develops.
In short, they could not let Qin Xiong, the "beast", wreak havoc in AC Milan's half of the field so easily!
AC Milan was not particularly nervous after conceding the goal. It only increased the pressure slightly.
Perhaps it was because of the effect of looking for Qin Xiong. Real Madrid continued to create opportunities for Qin Xiong in the following game.
But Gattuso and Ambrosini had left the flank alone. They only cared about whether or not they could trap Qin Xiong.
This caused Real Madrid's five-minute offensive to fail before it could advance to the front line.
AC Milan was also looking for a breakthrough point in their offense.
Kaka expanded his range of activity.
In the 29th minute of the game, Kaka received Kaladze's pass from the left side of the front field and dribbled to the middle.
He passed the ball to Seedorf in front of Diarra, and then broke through Diarra's defense with his unparalleled speed. After receiving Seedorf's pass, he turned the ball back over Guti and circled around the right side of the penalty area.
When Heinz rushed up to do a sliding tackle to block, Kaka's dribbling paused. After crossing with Heinz, Kaka saw the shooting line and decisively kicked the goal!
The football flew to the upper right corner of the goal. After Casillas was sure that Pato was marked by Pepe and Ramos, he leaned on Kaka and focused all his attention on Kaka before he lifted his foot.
So this time, Kaka's seemingly threatening long shot became an opportunity for Casillas to perform.
He leaped and pounced, and actually hugged Kaka's shot with both hands!
Kaka was a little stunned to see Casillas so calmly defend his shot. He shook his head slightly, turned around, and walked back.
Ancelotti lowered his head and sighed on the sidelines.
AC Milan still lacked a real killer!
Pato had the speed advantage and the young man was full of drive. But in a top-level game, there was still a big gap between his positioning ability and Inzaghi's ability to seize opportunities.
This made Kaka, who was actually a shadow striker, appear isolated and helpless in the front field, especially since Pato did not have a strong ability to coordinate like Raúl.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Kaka gave up the idea of a personal breakthrough after he coordinated a pass with Seedorf in the front field. Looking at Real Madrid abandoning the side defense and strengthening the tight defensive system in the middle, he could only create opportunities for his teammates.
Before he came to the penalty area and was about to be sandwiched by Ramos, Diarra, and Pepe, Kaka knocked the ball horizontally, and the football rolled past Diarra's feet.
Pirlo, who plugged in from the back, pretended to shoot, and Guti did a sliding tackle to block it. Pirlo leisurely pulled the ball back and flicked it horizontally. After a beat, he did a long shot.
Unfortunately, the football eventually flew out of the end line about a meter away from the goalpost.
