Chapter 345: Penalty?
Pep Guardiola didn't think anything worse than this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
As the champion of the Champions League, he scored the first goal and was overtaken by the opponent...... He frowned, always feeling that the stars of Barcelona were too arrogant and never paid attention to games like the Club World Cup. Maybe they feel that their strength is invincible, and playing a team outside of Europe is not a piece of cake?
Now it seems that they no longer have any capital to be proud of, and they can no longer hold back......
So, with a wave of his hand, the last two trump cards in his hand - Messi and Henry, the two stars were finally put on the battlefield.
……
The whole team that took the lead is now like a chicken blood, and now the most important thing for them is to hold on to the win! Messi and Henry's appearance failed to press them in momentum, and in the next game, one by one they incarnated as desperate Saburo, no matter whether the ball can be grabbed or not, they dare to slide and fight!
This kind of performance actually scared many of Barcelona's "superstars". Their bodies are much more expensive than Seoul FC's hillbilly Kim, what if they get hurt?
So there are a lot of balls, they give up, and they would rather let the opponent get possession than risk themselves. Especially the two most expensive stars who have just come on the field, they are confident that even if they don't have to work so hard and only use 60 or 70 percent of their strength, they will definitely be able to turn things around!
Naturally, this will only make Seoul FC defend with ease......
Pep Guardiola was so anxious when he saw this scene off the pitch - you bunnies are playing like this, you want to play yourself to death!
He shouted from the sidelines: "Rush! Looting! Push them for me! ”
Pep Guardiola's voice was drowned out by the huge noise of the pitch.
……
At the same time, Güneš also got up from his seat and kept shouting from the sidelines: "Grab them!" Grab them! They're scared! They're scared of us!! ”
He was joined by Seoul FC fans. Everyone could see that the Barcelona stars had some scruples in the game, and they were obviously frightened by the crazy momentum and desperate style of play of Seoul FC.
For them, the Club World Cup is a shame to abandon the tasteless, their most important battlefield is in Europe, the Champions League is their goal, and the Club World Cup is just a diamond on the crown head.
But for Seoul FC, a team from Asia, the Club World Cup is their highest stage! It's the honor they desperately want to pursue.
In order to be able to reach the finals and create miracles...... We fought with you!!
……
Barcelona remained in control of the game, but were unable to create threatening attacking chances after heading into the Seoul FC half.
For a while, Barcelona could only fight back and forth with Seoul FC between scrambling and counter-scrambling, and they couldn't even complete a shot on goal.
The Spanish TV commentators were taken by surprise by the sight of a Spanish TV commentator who had never seen an Asian team so effective.
In his opinion, this does not look like a team in the Korean league at all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are a team in La Liga.
In the stands, a middle-aged man cheered excitedly with the fans on the Seoul side, he was Aurelio, a scout for Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
Unbeknownst to Li Xuyan, Atletico's scouts were watching him from the stands, all his attention was now focused on the game.
……
Barcelona's arrogant mentality at this time took a hit.
It is obvious that since Messi came on the field, even a positive Indian center forward like Ibrahimovic has begun to pass the ball to Messi non-stop, counting on the king of Messi to break the opponent's crazy defense by himself. This scene is no stranger to Barcelona fans. Although Messi's position on the field is not a center forward, he has such a privilege, everyone has to pass the ball to him, because he is the No.1 in the Barcelona team.
With the support of the team, who does not care about the cost at all, if Messi has not yet performed, it will simply be worthy of his prestige!
Finally, when Barcelona gradually adjusted their mentality, and Seoul FC's crazy pressing also weakened in the process of physical decline, Barcelona's threat began to appear!
"Messi breaks through, shoots! Saved by the goalkeeper! ”
"Ibrahimovic header ferry! Messi shoots from close range! Hit the column! ”
A few minutes later, the Seoul team's stormy backline finally suffered a heavy blow, Busquets broke through the middle and pretended to shoot, and the deceived Seoul midfielder Ko Myung-jin flew a tackle to block, but Busquets slammed the football to the side, Komyeong-jin failed to tackle the ball, and directly shoveled Busquets' legs.
Professor Bu instantly fell to the ground in "pain" and rolled on the ground to begin an exaggerated performance......
The referee ran over and took out the second yellow card without hesitation, two yellows turned into one red - Gao Mingzhen was sent off with a red card!
Gao Mingzhen tried his best to explain to the referee, but the referee was unmoved, and the red card he took out could not be withdrawn. Li Xuyan on the side gasped and watched Gao Mingzhen walk towards the sidelines in extreme disappointment......
The fears of the first half finally became a reality, and with 75 minutes to go and nearly half an hour to go, Seoul were forced to face one less man, and the situation suddenly turned sharply.
……
Sure enough, when Seoul FC had one man less, Barcelona's attack became more ferocious.
The whole Seoul team was forced to defend with all their strength at the moment, and Li Xuyan also retreated to the second half and did the dirty work of the sappers.
After nearly ten minutes of stormy fighting, near the end of the game, Seoul FC's defense was finally breached!
Thierry Henry pretended to cross after breaking down the wing, and the deceived Real Madrid left-back Marcelo jumped up to block the cross, but he slammed the ball in. Then a low flat ball is crossed.
Messi appeared in the right place on time, leaned on Kim Jin-gyu, and swept sideways!
Kim Ho-joon made a save and he touched the football, but his movements were still a little slower, and the ball rolled under his armpit into the goal!
"The ball is in!!"
This time it was the Spanish commentator's turn to yell loudly, perhaps because it had been suppressed for too long, and this round of outbursts came particularly violently, "Messi!" Messi! It's Messi's plum ball king! He equalized for Barcelona in the 85th minute! 2:2! The two sides are back on the same starting line! ”
After the goal, Messi ran all the way to the corner flag area, jumped high, raised his arms and shouted!
The Barcelona fans at the scene let out a huge cheer: "Messi! Messi! Long live Messi!! ”
Then Messi turned around and greeted Henry. He has to thank the person who passed the ball to him.
……
Seeing that Messi still scored at the last moment, Li Xuyan, who was about to collapse, was very disappointed, and he frowned slightly.
But he soon adjusted his mentality. The score is still a draw, and there is hope!
Güneş also immediately made the final substitution adjustment, replacing striker Dejan with a defender, and it is obvious that in the case of an extremely unfavorable situation and one less man, the Seoul team intends to defend to the end!
The game resumes. Because of Messi's goal, Barcelona breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone patronized and paid attention to Barcelona's waves of offense before, and they all had the illusion that Barcelona was about to win, and then they found out that it was still a draw......
In terms of overall strength, Barcelona is definitely much stronger than Seoul, and this score is surprising......
However, FC Seoul don't think so right now, and it was they who narrowly managed to hold on to the victory.
……
Lionel Messi equalised, Barça's morale was boosted, and the game turned into a half-court drill, with FC Seoul barely being able to perform in attack.
However, perhaps because of the concerted defense of Seoul FC, Barcelona did not score another goal until the end of the game.
At the end of the ninety minutes, the two sides played a 2-2 draw between the two sides. The two sides went into extra time.
There is rarely a precedent for extra-time in the Club World Cup, as European and South American teams are generally far apart from other regional teams, and it takes 90 minutes to decide the winner. But in this game, the two teams played to this point, but they didn't expect it to be so miserable, which really surprised many people.
But the game is all played here, can you still give up?
No one wants to give up, everyone wants to prove themselves. Barcelona has the self-esteem of Barça, and naturally they are not willing to fail. Seoul FC also has the backbone of a dark horse and will certainly not be willing to bow their heads in front of an opponent who despises them.
No way, keep gritting your teeth and fighting!
One side gritted its teeth and fought to its maximum potential.
One side finally breathed a sigh of relief after scoring a goal, and after a long flight, his physical strength was almost close to the limit.
So in the 30 minutes of extra time, Barcelona has not been able to go further and kill the opponent......
The game was actually dragged into a penalty shootout......
"This is something that has never happened before in the history of the Club World Cup – the European champions were dragged to a penalty shoot-out by an Asian team! Both sides must decide the winner through a penalty shootout! ”
"A contest of strength and weakness, when it seemed to many people to be as suspenseless as chicken ribs in the eyes of many people. But I didn't expect the two teams to fight so inseparably! FC Seoul went from falling behind to overtaking and was equalized at the last moment! Now they have dragged the game into the quagmire of penalty shootout! This Asian team and Pep Guardiola's team are standing on the threshold of a penalty shootout! ”
There was no goal in 30 minutes of extra time, and there were not many effective attacks, and the last physical strength of both sides was spent on scrambling, so the rhythm slowed down. There are no exciting offensive scenes, so everyone is very dull to watch.
However, with the arrival of the penalty shootout, not only the voice of the commentator was much higher, but the fans who watched the game were also emotionally lifted and refreshed.
Penalty shootout!
Is it the dark horse that creates miracles? Or is it Barcelona's thrilling pass?
This is a cruel duel full of romantic feelings, who will be the tragic character who is PK by fate?
Looking forward to it!
Players from both sides sat on the grass and listened to the manager arrange the penalty sequence while receiving massages from the team doctors.
No one did any penalty training specifically for this game, because no one expected that a Club World Cup semi-final would drag on to the point of a penalty shootout......
The players themselves didn't expect it to drag on to the penalty shootout.
The manager is arranging the order of penalties. While cheering.
At this time, it is really no longer a competition of techniques and tactics, the things to fight are very simple, that is, psychological quality, will quality, and luck.
Whoever is able to grit his teeth and persevere, will be able to see the smile of the goddess of victory.
Some people may wonder how Barcelona can't even win such an Asian team. This team from Asia, originally under such a disparity in strength and weakness, as for playing so hard?
But for the players on both sides on the pitch, there is no question of whether it is worth it at this point.
The game is played to this point, and if you beat your opponent, it's worth it!
"Don't give up! Don't give up! Last Stand! You must grit your teeth and hold on, if you win, we will be world champions! ”
"If we win, we will be the darkest horse in the world, the king of the kings of the world!"
The atmosphere suddenly became miserable, and this atmosphere made many people feel in a trance - am I in the place of the World Cup final?
