Chapter 070: They All Want to Win!
Cristiano Ronaldo was silent for 90 minutes, receiving Benzema's first-time sweep to meet the ball in the first minute of stoppage time, narrowly avoiding Alves' inevitable foul, and then calmly opting for a lob that flew over the head of Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen and crashed into the unguarded goal.
"Whoa—"
The Olympic Stadium in Berlin resounded with a deafening roar from Real Madrid fans, which quickly spread from several stands to the entire stadium.
Coupled with the Real Madrid fans who did not buy tickets to watch the game in the square outside the stadium, the momentum came to an unbelievable level.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, was particularly excited in the frenzied atmosphere, spread his arms, ran wildly, leaned back on his upper part, bent his knees forward, and buckled his instep back tightly, first playing a sliding kneeling celebration on his own attacking right rib, and then quickly got up and raised two index fingers in the direction of the sluggish Barcelona fans, pointing to the ground.
The meaning is very obvious, that is, with me, you don't want to win!
"Woo-woo-"
In the flash of lightning, the ashen Barcelona fans came back to life and let out a huge boo at the invincible Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo didn't care, and what was important was his goal to help Real Madrid equalise and drag the game back to the same level.
So Cristiano Ronaldo, who faced the huge boos in his face, did not have any emotional changes, or he had seen too many scenes of this kind to affect his personal mentality.
Almost all of his teammates ran towards Cristiano Ronaldo, who celebrated the goal, except for goalkeeper Casillas, who stood in his own half and raised his arms and shouted.
Tang Zheng was naturally excited because of the team's equalizer, but he first turned his head to look at the game time shown on the scoreboard, and the injury time only entered fifteen seconds, which means that there are three minutes and forty-five seconds left in the game.
Overtake the score, enough!
Of course, Tang Zheng did not become an alternative existence, he also ran to his teammates who celebrated the equalizer, hugging and sharing the huge pressure release brought by the equalizer.
At this moment, Barcelona coach Enrique felt a lot of pressure, as if he saw his team once again reversed by Real Madrid, thus becoming the most disgraced coach in Barcelona's coaching history.
One finish season, three runners-up.
"It can't be like this!"
Enrique shook his head, lingering on the bad negativity, and now the score was just a draw, not the worst.
As long as the game isn't over, any possibility can happen!
Not far away, in front of the home team's coach's command area, Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly hugged his assistants Clement and Zinedine Zidane.
The team's ability to equalise in the first minute of stoppage time was a timely rain.
Because as time goes on, the confidence of the Barcelona players will grow, and the Real Madrid players will become more and more discouraged.
And the confidence boost that goals have brought to the team in this period is obvious, and it will be easy to think of the games that have reversed the score in the past this season.
Miracles don't happen often, but they can give confidence to the players on the pitch and lead to a reversal!
Looking at the players celebrating the equaliser, Carlo Ancelotti wondered if he should try to score another goal before the end of stoppage time to beat Barcelona.
The idea was quickly dismissed by Carlo Ancelotti, and the game came to injury time and could not be taken too risky.
The benefits may be great, but the dangers are even greater.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the coaches of both sides of the game made up their minds and dragged the game into extra time.
But for some of the players on the pitch, they prefer to settle the fight before the whistle blows at the end of the game.
※※※
The player who helped Real Madrid equalize was Cristiano Ronaldo, but in the minds of individual commentators, Tang Zheng was the most important player for Real Madrid's equalizer.
It was he who took advantage of Barcelona's usual substitutions to suddenly drop back and pick up the ball to disrupt the position of Barcelona's defensive system, and then found Isco with a precise long ball with his left foot......
A qualified core player, in addition to being able to assist and score points personally, must also be able to play the most appropriate role according to the situation of the game.
Tang Zheng is like this, because his change of pace has led to the chaos of Barcelona's defensive system, and he has made the most appropriate choice according to the chaotic situation.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei said passionately in the process of slow-motion replay given by the on-site director: "The source of Real Madrid's goal is Tang Zheng's bold offensive space from the backfield, and at the same time, it also gives Barcelona frontcourt players an illusion that they may break the ball from Tang Zheng's feet and fight back on the spot, in fact, Tang Zheng has a strategic plan for the game, has already controlled the overall situation, and the long pass in time is the essence of Real Madrid's goals......"
Although there are many die-hard Barcelona fans sitting in front of the TV, they are first and foremost Chinese, so they are not disgusted by He Wei's praise of Tang Zheng, but a sense of pride bursts out from the depths of their hearts.
Of course, the best result in their minds was Tang Zheng's amazing performance, and Barcelona won the eventual title.
However, there are also a few fans who are scolding He Wei for being a royal dog, and he doesn't choose what to say.
The close-up of the live director was given to the Barcelona players on the pitch, such as Messi, Suarez, and Neymar, and the longest time was given to Mathieu, who had just come off the bench.
His substitution was supposed to solve Barcelona's defensive problems in midfield, but it turned out to be an opportunity for Real Madrid to equalise, and it was his momentary brain that stirred up a wave of rhythm, otherwise the midfielders would not have pressed forward for no reason.
Thinking about the whole process of conceding the ball, Mathieu shook his head helplessly.
Based on the performance of this season's substitutes, next season's Barcelona squad may no longer have a place of its own.
Messi's grim expression and Real Madrid's equaliser at the start of stoppage time was extremely beneficial to the overall self-confidence growth, and a slight mistake could have led to a last-minute loss.
Thinking of this possibility, Messi forced himself to divert his attention, and if this possibility really appeared, then he would have a stain on his life.
At the age of 28, which should be at the peak of his career, how can he lose in the Champions League final?
So Messi clenched his fists, looked at the Real Madrid players celebrating the game and made up his mind, and muttered in a voice that only he heard: "The champion, it's still mine!"
At this moment, the coaches of both sides told the players on the field to stabilize the rhythm and not blindly enter the attack through body movements.
The pros are a group of people with too much energy, who are competitive and naturally want to influence the game, but the manager's instructions cannot but be followed.
But Tang Zheng and Messi are 'ghostly', they both want to score another goal in injury time and beat the opponent!
The manager's wishes cannot be violated, then only through their own efforts!
After a short time, the game restarted, and Barcelona, who had the advantage of the kick-off, did not rush forward to attack, but deliberately controlled the pace of the game.
The Real Madrid players who had been in high spirits for the equaliser did not press forward and retreated into their own half after a symbolic defence.
"Whoa—"
Despite the lowest pace of the game, the fans in the stands were enthusiastic, and even the Barcelona fans who had gone from the lead to the equaliser were reinvigorated and let out a deafening loud shout to add to the frenetic atmosphere of the Champions League final.
Among these fans, the Real Madrid fans were the hardest-working, the team had just equalized, they had an inexhaustible energy, so the wave after wave erupted.
Many Barcelona fans are hopeful that the team will win the game, but many fans are very worried about it, for fear that Real Madrid will suddenly attack.
The Dortmund fans who came to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin had a pure purpose, just to watch Tang Zheng's game play up close.
In their words, it was a pleasure to watch Tang Zheng play.
From the beginning of the competition to the present, this statement has also been verified.
Watching Tang Zheng's competition is like watching an art exhibition.
Barcelona's possession advantage ended in the second minute of stoppage time, when Messi's breakthrough with the ball was cut off by Tang Zheng and Modric, and Real Madrid switched from attack to defense.
Messi, who lost the goal, had a strong sense of responsibility, and he kicked down Tang Zheng who took the ball for the first time, and won the team's time from offense to defense with a yellow card.
※※※
Messi, who completed the foul, did not appeal to referee Kakir, but supported his knees with his hands and gasped for air.
In the past game time, Messi can be described as the most active player in Barcelona, the offensive end is the most active player, and the defensive end will often retreat to the ribs to defend, and even chase back to the penalty area when he conceded the ball.
For Messi, the physical drain is enormous.
If it weren't for the fitness problem, the breakthrough just now was to get the ball away one step earlier and then get a free kick in front.
And Messi's decision to settle the battle in stoppage time is also directly related to the decline in fitness, and he is worried that he will be even more unable to run in extra time.
Real Madrid were also in no hurry to take a free-kick at the back, waiting for the midfielders to arrive at the back of Barcelona before goalkeeper Casillas kicked it over.
Casillas's free kick at the back is very purposeful, which is to find Tang Zheng, who is temporarily at the front.
Neither Pique nor Mathieu could get past the spot, and the ball was thrown by Tang Zheng to Isco on the right side of the attack.
After several consecutive passes, the football came to Tang Zheng's feet again, because his teammates were not running very well, Tang Zheng first pouted his ass when he had no way, and then blocked Mascherano behind him, and completed a long shot at the top of the arc of the big penalty area.
The ball hit Pique's outstretched thigh and flew high off the baseline.
Corner kick.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out over the Olympic Stadium in Berlin: "Whoa—"
The frenzied atmosphere of the game suddenly increased at this moment, and the Barcelona defenders in the penalty area felt a great pressure rushing towards them.
Real Madrid has a very strong landing control, not to mention Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, Ramos, Varane and Benzema all have strong header ability, on the other hand, Barcelona.
There is a limited ability to head over, Suarez, Sergio Busquets, Pique and Mathieu.
Of course, it is much more difficult for the attacking side to score a goal from a corner than it is for the defender to complete the defense, because the defender only needs to clear the ball and the attacking team needs to control the landing of the header and then get past goalkeeper Ter Stegen.
Although Barcelona coach Enrique was worried, he was confident that his team would be able to defend the corner.
In fact, the corner was well defended, Tang Zheng failed to adjust the crosshairs under the concord defense of Pique and Mascherano, and the ball went wide of the right post of the goal.
Time was running out, and stoppage time came to the third minute, and the commentators in the commentary booth thought the game was likely to go to extra time.
The players on the field basically think the same way, but Tang Zheng and Messi are still working hard, thinking about killing their opponents in the remaining game time!
After a break of more than a minute, Messi regained a little bit of strength, and he decided to speed up!
It seems to be a casual request for the ball, Modric, who is relatively high at the top, takes the initiative to defend Messi, Toni Kroos is responsible for protection, and Tang Zheng guards the key area in front of the central defender.
No one noticed that Tang Zheng was approaching Toni Kroos, including Messi.
At this moment, Messi's left foot suddenly flicked the ball to the left front and accelerated in the 'Messi corridor'!
Modric's subconscious outstretched foot did not touch the football, nor did he touch Messi.
Toni Kroos waited for the opportunity, made up for the past, and was ready for a foul, but Messi handed the ball to Neymar with the outside of his left foot in front of the arc of the penalty area, and then ran past the outside of Tony Kroos's defense.
Between turning to defend Messi and Neymar, Toni Kroos chose to defend Neymar.
As a result, Neymar did not stop the ball and gave the ball directly to Messi's forward route, that is, behind Toni Kroos.
"Oops!"
Tony Cross's heart trembled, but the next moment he heard a shout: "Whoa—"
As soon as he finished turning, Toni Kroos saw Tang Zheng stretch out his right foot and move Neymar's pass to Messi forward.
The football rolled between Neymar and Toni Kroos, Tony Kroos subconsciously flashed to the left, Neymar's pupils shrank suddenly, his left foot quickly tiptoed to the ground, and the whole person took a step forward, stretched out his right foot, even if he couldn't kick the football, he had to trip Tang Zheng.
But Tang Zheng took the first step to flick the ball, and then landed on his right foot lightly on tiptoe, jumped up, and dodged Neymar's right foot that stretched out and lifted again.
Harvey saw the opportunity to pounce on Tang Zheng, and after landing, Tang Zheng's upper body tilted to the left, deceiving Harvey into thinking that Tang Zheng was going to break through from his right side, and there was a change of center of gravity to the right in advance, but Tang Zheng used the outside of his right foot to move the ball to the right, and then accelerated from the left side of Harvey's body to accelerate the breakthrough.
Mascherano had a strong sense of defense, and rushed to Tang Zheng without hesitation, optimistic about the moment Tang Zheng went out of the ball, stretched out his left foot, and stabbed the football.
Tang Zheng, who never expected it, took a step forward with his left foot, stepped on the top of the football, pulled it back, and then turned 90 degrees to the right with his waist as the axis, and stepped on the football alternately on the sole of his right foot and pulled it to the right rear.
"Whoa—"
"Marseille Roundabout!"
Accompanied by the loud shouts that sounded at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, raised his voice sharply.
