Chapter 63: The Heart of a Champion
Griezmann's goal greatly boosted the morale of the Blackburn players, and after kicking off again, the morale of the Blackburn players was high, and for a while Blackburn attacked like a tide, while the Atletico Madrid players were tired of defending, and it was difficult for them to organize an effective attack. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because it was difficult for Atletico Madrid to organize an attack for a while, Blackburn's back line pressed forward in an all-round way, Alderweireld with a certain offensive ability ran to the midfield position, and the fullback Alaba who inserted good assists on the side frequently stepped forward to assist.
In the 58th minute, Augusto made a mistake and although he had already returned to half-time, he was still pestered by Kante, who tried to shake Kante away, but Kante did not eat his feints at all.
N'Golo Kante cut the ball off with a sliding tackle and Coutinho rushed up in time to grab the ball that he had no control over.
Coutinho then strode the ball towards Atletico Madrid's penalty area, and at this moment, the Atletico Madrid players also reacted, and Savic stopped Coutinho's breakthrough line in time.
Coutinho isn't flustered, though, because he's spotted a fleeting opportunity.
Coutinho gently picked up the ball on his toes, and it flew over Savage's head towards the goal. There was a panic in front of the Atletico Madrid goal, and Oblak stared at the ball with a nervous face.
Several defenders of Atletico Madrid have also used all kinds of martial arts, as long as they are not seen by the referee, pull their jerseys, pull their pants, as long as they can stop Blackburn's striker, they don't care about this!
But apparently they were all doing useless work, Godin did everything he could to stop Griezmann, but they ignored the coquettish Neymar.
Neymar had already rushed to the ball before Coutinho's pass, although the Atletico Madrid defender behind him almost tore Neymar's shirt. But Neymar still took the lead in rushing to the front, facing the fist of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak, Neymar, who jumped high, didn't care about his hairstyle, shook his head and attacked the goal!
2:0!
The Meazza Stadium instantly erupted in joy, but in the midst of the joy, the Atletico Madrid fans looked so out of place, and all the Atletico Madrid fans who came from afar couldn't believe the quiet ball in the goal. Their eyes were full of disbelief, and they couldn't believe that their impregnable defense for a whole season had been destroyed by the opponent's brightness in such a short period of time!
Tens of thousands of Blackburn fans were boiling, they roared and roared out the depression in their hearts, and they held their scarves with hideous faces and shouted at the Blackburn players who were celebrating wildly on the field, singing loudly!
Neymar ran towards the corner flag area with excitement on his face, and then found his Brazilian fellow who assisted him, and started to dance samba in the corner flag area!
Arthur, who was watching the game in the box, was also very happy, smiling and applauding repeatedly, Blackburn was already 2 goals ahead, and in less than half an hour, the Champions League championship can be said to be stable!
After taking a two-goal lead, Blackburn Rovers also began to adjust their tactics on the field, Bale completely withdrew from the midfield, and Neymar appeared in the shadow striker position, so that Blackburn did not make substitutions, but the formation on the field tended to be 4-4-1-1.
Regardless of Lopp's change of formation, Simeone knew that he had to give it a go, and with a wave of his hand, the whole team began to attack!
At this time, where can the fans of both sides sit still now, and they stood up one by one with excited faces, each holding the team's scarf in their hands and shouting loudly to cheer.
The players on both sides are also nervous right now, and now both teams are already full of bows, and as long as one side can't withstand the pressure, then it will be dealt a heavy blow immediately.
Although Blackburn's players are mostly attacking and comfortable, they are also unambiguous defensively, with the midfield of Coutinho, Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante being very successful against Atletico Madrid's midfield defence, especially Kante's defense almost completely froze Augusto, who lacked team-mate support.
At this moment, this black French midfielder who is only 169cm has reminded countless Blackburn fans of his predecessor Makelele, which is too similar!
In the 82nd minute, Juanfran pushed Neymar behind his back and almost caused a conflict between the players on the field, but fortunately, the referee pulled away the players from both sides in time and gave Juanfran a yellow card when he awarded Blackburn a free kick in front.
Unfortunately, the free-kick was far from goal, and Bale's free-kick did not pose the slightest threat to Atletico Madrid's goal.
Another Blackburn attack was in vain, with Atletico captain Godin clearing the ball into midfield and Koke grabbing the ball before he could get out of the touchline.
Only this time, Koke didn't have a good chance to break through on the touchline, and there was already a Blackburn player in front of him. Koke crossed the ball and sent it down the middle, where Torres struggled to keep the ball at his feet on Alderweireld.
Torres didn't have the heart to observe the situation on the pitch now, because he was pushing and shoving Alderweireld from behind. Not only will Torres need to be steady, but he will also have to watch out for Alderweireld's foot, which could reach out at any moment.
It took a lot of effort for Torres to hold the ball, and he leaned firmly against Alderweireld with his not wide back, wondering how he could shake off the annoying dogskin plaster.
Alderweireld made a lot of small moves, after all, the 27-year-old handsome Belgian guy is no longer a rookie, and the hand clinging to Qin Shou's waist is very dishonest and pinching and pulling, which makes Torres uncomfortable.
However, Torres is not a rookie on his debut, and when Alderweireld arrived at Blackburn, the two were teammates for two seasons.
Torres stepped on the ball with his right foot and suddenly slammed it with his heel, and the ball slipped under Alderweireld's crotch. Under Alderweireld's horrified gaze, Torres turned around with Alderweireld in his eyes.
Torres got rid of the kraft candy and pushed forward quickly, while Blackburn's defenders were busy at the back, and Cech in the goal hurriedly commanded his teammates to organize a seemingly dense defensive line, but he knew all too well the energy of Torres once the speed was up.
And this opportunity for Torres to spell out made the Atletico Madrid players suddenly excited, and they pressed forward to prepare to pick up Torres.
At this time, Torres was even more unambiguous, getting closer and closer to the penalty area.
Blackburn's centre-back Phil Jones saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and rushed out of the box. Torres looked up at Phil Jones, who was hurrying towards him, without any expression on his face.
Phil Jones thought he had judged Torres' direction and strode up to him, with Torres less than five metres away.
Torres suddenly flicked the ball to the left, and Phil Jones subconsciously slid to the right to block it, but Torres was a feint and passed the ball out.
Carrasco received a pass from Torres and was the only one in front of Cech!
Single-handed!
In the face of the fierce Blackburn goalkeeper Cech, Carrasco shot straight away.
Cech didn't have time to react, only to see that the football had already swooped into the net!
2:1!
"The ball is in! Carrasco pulled a goal back and now they are just one point behind. But now, with stoppage time, there are less than 10 minutes left for them to equalise. There was a hint of concern in Lineker's tone, because there are not many cases in football history where there has been a last-minute comeback.
However, as Lineker commented, with less than 10 minutes left, what can Atletico Madrid do in the face of Blackburn, who have retracted across the board?
Yes, Atletico Madrid hasn't given up yet, Simeone hasn't given up yet, a one-goal gap can't kill them!
Simeone then replaced Felipe with Mandzukic, and Atletico Madrid switched to a frantic 3-4-3 formation.
With the increasingly neat cheers of the Atletico Madrid fans, they began the last and most crazy attack!
Koke broke the ball at the back and sent the ball to midfield, and Mandzukic also used his last strength to quickly go down the flank. Not only did Blackburn's players expend too much energy in the game, but Atletico Madrid's players also had a fitness crisis, but Mandzukic, who had just come on as a substitute, undoubtedly had an advantage.
Mandzukic didn't make the slightest fancy move at his feet, and the only thing he had to do was keep and fast with the ball towards Blackburn's backfield.
Mandzukizi glanced at Blackburn's box and scrambled Alaba to cross in front of him. At this time, the Meazza stadium was filled with the excited cheers of Atletico Madrid fans.
Mandzukic's cross was sudden, and the timing of the cross was quite good. Mandzukic's cross fell behind Cech who was standing just outside the six-yard box, and the Blackburn goalkeeper had no idea that Mandzukic would send a slightly backward cross straight into the empty net behind him.
Amid the excited cheers of the Atletico Madrid fans, as Petr Cech turned in panic to make amends. Not far from Cech, Torres, who had been sprinting desperately at the back of Mandzukizi's cross, made a desperate effort and chased the ball with all the effort he had left!
The cheers of the Atletico Madrid fans at the Estadio Meazza suddenly rose to a higher level, because Torres had already passed the Blackburn goalkeeper, and he just needed to go a little faster, maybe he could just try to raise his feet a little higher.
In the expectation of all Atletico Madrid fans, in the horror of countless Blackburn fans, Torres's fitness was in crisis, and Blackburn's captain Phil Jones, who had already chased back, made a meritorious contribution by taking a leap to push the ball out of the bottom line before Torres could kick it.
Atletico Madrid missed a good chance to score!
Perhaps, the last chance to score!
Torres stood in a daze in the Blackburn penalty area with his head in disbelief and Mandzukic, who was standing near the touchline, was also a little distracted, and this time he thought there would be a big chance to attack Mandzukic.
In fact, Atletico Madrid almost broke through Blackburn's goal this time, but unfortunately, it was only a close miss!
Petr Cech commanded the Blackburn Rovers to prepare to defend Atletico Madrid's corner, and the Blackburn fans jumped with excitement for the rest of their lives.
But tens of thousands of Atletico Madrid fans at the Meazza Stadium let out a long sigh that time is really running out and that Atletico Madrid still needs one more goal.
With the regular 90 minutes coming to an end, Atletico Madrid still have no hope of scoring, and the fourth referee's four-minute stoppage time will be their last chance!
At the beginning of the four-minute stoppage time, the Atletico Madrid players were still frantically counterattacking, and at this moment they could not take much care of it, the defense was almost abandoned, and Godin was left alone at the back.
Atletico Madrid still needs a ball!
But Blackburn faced the siege of Atletico Madrid, and they held on, with Mandzukic heading over the top and two or three Blackburns going to stop him.
Koke's long-range shot from outside the box was met by Pogba who would go out of his way to block it with his body.
Carrasco's sudden inward cut, Rakitic, who had just come off the bench, would use both hands and feet to block the opponent......
As the clock ticked by, the Atletico Madrid players finally collapsed under the double weight of psychology and physiology, Koke broke down physically, and cramped his legs, although the Spaniard signaled that he could continue the game after receiving emergency treatment from the team doctor, but almost all Meaza fans knew that the tide was turning.
In the 94th minute, Mandzukic forced his way into the penalty area on the right and was left straight by a precise tackle by Alderweireld.
When Pogba kicked the football into the Atletico Madrid half, the Atletico Madrid fans heard the whistle they didn't want to hear at the moment, and Blackburn was in turmoil!
Not to mention the crazy celebration of the Blackburn players in the stadium, just looking at Klopp on the sidelines who was so excited that he threw his eyes to the Blackburn fans in the stands, you can see how happy Blake himself is at this moment!
99 points won the Premier League, defeated the opponent in the FA Cup in the final, and today won the Champions League against Atletico Madrid to win the European championship, Blackburn Rovers once again won the treble!
Triple crown, triple crown!
After Klopp received the Sanya King in Dortmund, he finally won the supreme glory in Blackburn!
It was only at this time that Klopp discovered that Blackburn had the biggest difference from the teams he had coached, because Blackburn had a championship heart after Arthur became the owner.
This is the soul of Blackburn as a king and a green temple! (To be continued.) )
