Chapter 612: Slay the Dragon! Advance to the finals! (Grand Chapter)
"I knew it,"
"Without Zheng Zhi, the back is unreliable."
"It's tragic that so many people didn't have anyone to stop Capjo."
"We have to do something!"
"The two-ball advantage is not safe!"
Two goals are not safe, and Bayer Leverkusen fans don't know what to think. Anyway, after Zheng Zhi went down, they felt that they didn't feel safe at all, and they were used to that man standing in the midfield and leading the team forward like a Dinghai Shenpin.
The camera was given to Zheng Zhi, who just sat quietly without a trace of anxiety. As Ballack said, if Leverkusen can't advance to the final by such a big lead, everyone might as well retire.
There may be hardships along the way, but Zheng Zhi is confident that these teammates will definitely advance to the finals, no matter who the opponent is or what happens to them now.
'Porto have pulled a goal back and with 33 minutes remaining, two goals down, they could level the scores. Of course, the premise is that Leverkusen has been beaten so passively. But I don't think it's very probable, the Bayer Leverkusen players are not that bad now, they still have the initiative, the two-goal advantage is very big, if they find a way to score another goal, Porto will not have any chances at all. β
"It's time for the rest of the team to step up."
'There is no Zheng Zhi, but there are Emerson, Ronaldinho, Franck Ribery, Neuville and Ballack, who have the ability to score again for Bayer Leverkusen.
"And Worrall, what will he do? He should act. β
The camera is on Worrall again, who is indeed in action, calling in Hap and appearing to be preparing to replace the centre-back. His mind is now on how to get Bayer Leverkusen to win the game at a low cost.
There is still room for rotation in the midfield, and the pressure is on the centre-back position.
The Porto players didn't even give Worrall time to make a substitution, as striker Capjo took the ball out of the net and quickly ran back to the centre circle, knowing full well that Porto needed at least two more goals.
The game resumed quickly.
Neuville gave the ball to Ballack, who played it directly to central defender Lucio. Porto's up-and-down speed was quite fast, not giving the Leverkusen players a chance to breathe, but Lucio still calmly handed the ball to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho returned to receive the ball again, trying to let the ball pass through Paulinho Santos's crotch, but this time Santos learned smartly, the legs were clamped very tightly, and the ball bounced back on his calf, but Ronaldinho's reaction was fast, and he immediately chased back and swept the ball to Ballack in the middle, and Ballack leaned the weak Deco behind him, However, he couldn't prevent Capjo from running back from the front to attack, and he was cut off by Capjo with too much sticky ball. Capujo was very sharp and immediately played the ball to Kambalahota on the left, what they needed was a kick on the ball, they needed speed!
The passing strength is a little small, but Camphellotta did not wait for the ball on the spot, but retreated to respond, although Novotny chased up, but was still the first to get the ball by Camphala Hotta, Campalhota calmly pulled the ball to the right and turned around, but found a small figure swept from the left!
That's Ribery, who is as light as a swallow!
Franck Franck Ribery also chased back to the defence, slicing past Kambalahota like a gust of wind and severing the ball away. After playing a wall-to-wall combination with Emerson, he got the ball back and faced Rudolph, he played a wall-to-wall combination with Ballack again, and raised the speed to the extreme! Rushed over Rubens in one go!
Beep
The whistle still sounded.
Offside.
That's a fraction of a second!
Ballack was still too late to get the ball out of the way, and if he could have gotten the ball up at 0.5 in the morning, Ribery would have been offside.
Ballack waved at him embarrassedly to apologize, but Ribery slapped his palm lightly and expressed his gratitude, it was a good ball, although Ballack was a little slower, and the man ran back to the right side.
Porto reorganized the attack.
Ballack immediately wound up with Deco, but Deco also played with Costa with ease, and then sprinted straight to get the ball back. Despite Ballack's quick turn, the short-legged Deco shoved the ball forward.
Another straight ball rolling!
It's simple and straightforward, just look for the striker in front. This time, though, LaMelo took a straight shot and broke the ball. He saw Ronaldinho cutting inside from the left and kicked the ball up. Paulinho Santos also followed him to the middle, but Ronalnidio did not stop the ball, the moment his left foot stepped over the ball, the right heel hidden homeopathic knock!
The ball deflected and went straight behind Porto captain Costa!
"Beautiful!"
"This ball!"
"Alas, it's a pity, Neuville didn't realise Ronaldinho's pass, he didn't rush at all, and as a result, the ball flew directly to Baia's feet."
"If he had this awareness, he would be a single knife to catch up with the ball!"
"Ronaldinho's passing is too spiritual, but we need a striker who can understand his passing."
But there's a guy on the far end playing with his life!
Although the ball had rolled to Ribery's feet, Ribery rushed up from the right flank.
Before he arrived, Baia picked the ball up lightly, grabbed it in his hands, and then threw it at the feet of Secretario on the right, who curled it up to Capuccio.
Capuccio has a considerable range of movement, constantly moving between the middle and the right, making Gresco's defense quite passive, and his eyes are almost always following Capujo's movements.
duangοΌ
The bodies of the two collided together, and Gresco's body shook violently to the right, but Capjo's running direction did not change in the slightest, he grabbed the ball first, turned his head to look at the middle, and immediately swept the cross with his right foot to the middle!
Jadel, who was in the middle, stretched out his right leg desperately and stopped the ball with the outside instep, but instead of forcing a shot, he hooked the ball back and then turned around! It wasn't the first time Lucio had seen Jadel do this, and he also followed Jadel to turn around, and also raised his right foot to Jadel's foot and stabbed it, he thought that Jadel would definitely dribble and turn around.
But he was wrong, and instead of doing so, Jadel kicked the ball back to Paulinio Santos, who cut in! The latter directly pulled out his feet and shot angrily!
Knock β
The ball deflected off Lucio's right calf and bounced straight into the top left corner of the goal.
οΌοΌοΌοΌ
At this time, Marty Seck had already pounced on the right side, and he didn't expect the ball to refract back, so he could only turn his head and watch the ball fly to the top left corner.
Call~
Sliding the door out!
Danger after risk!
Bayer Leverkusen dodged again.
"Fack!"
Mourinho in the stands hit the railing in a circle, and there was an instant buzz on the railing, and you can imagine how powerful his blow was. Almost Porto pulled another goal back, can he not be excited?
Baseline ball.
Worrall finally gave Harp a push and told him to replace Novotny quickly!
I've been waiting for this moment for a long time......
Hap comes up, Novotny goes down, and he will form a central partner with Lucio.
"It seems that Worrall is unwilling to let Novotny miss the final, and he has opted to keep Lucio on the court."
"But Hap also has a yellow card."
'I think Worrall was a little careless, he could have shuffled the yellow card at some point, not as much as he did today.
"Now it's the final, and there are a lot of people suspended."
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
"Ahh
"Go to Link or Burdarich!"
"The double striker is pressed in front of the opponent's big penalty area, does the opponent dare to attack so unscrupulously?"
"Alas!"
Klopp, who was watching live TV at home, had not been sitting on the sofa, and since the second half, he had been standing in front of the TV screen, when he saw Worrall's substitution, he was not satisfied.
"Two strikers suppress the opposition's defence, the ball is split between the two wings, and Ronaldinho and Ribery rush the two wings, how can it be like this?"
"Ballack's position is pulled back about 20 meters, and Emerson is partnered to play a more balanced 442, or you can change the formation to 433, there are a lot of options, ah, damn it."
Jurgen Klopp has always had his own ideas.
But he's not Worrall, he's not the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, Worrall still defensively.
However, Ballack's position was still retreated, and Leverkusen's defense was not disrupted by Porto, in the 64th minute, Balacla who returned to the defense fell to Deco and gave Porto a set-piece at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, Deco personally took the penalty, but Deco did not press the ball and hit the anti-aircraft gun.
Bayer Leverkusen switched from defense to attack, Ribery beckoned in front, but Emerson did not take the risk, pressed the ball to the back, and finally the ball fell to the feet of Ronaldinho, Ronalnidio chose to go it alone again, a skillful oxtail shook off Paulinio Santos, and then pulled the ball and tried to sprint away from the left side, but Secretario hit a frontal flying tackle, so that he had no extra reaction time at all, so he could only hastily poke the ball to Lamelo, LaMelo took a step to the right, Taking advantage of the advantage of leg length, he instantly opened the distance with Deco, and then distributed the ball to Ballack, who knocked the ball to Ribery again, and Ribery pulled the ball with a violin with his left foot, so that Rubens, who followed him, lost his balance, and Ribery cut to the sideline of the big penalty area from the right side, and immediately swept the cross with his right foot to the middle.
Boccia!
Neuville sliding in front of the six-yard box! Silva behind him didn't stop him this time, but Neuville's right foot didn't hit the target, and the ball still slid out of the goal, sticking to the right post and rolling off the line.
"Whew~"
"If this goal is scored, there will be basically no suspense!"
The Germans sighed, and even Zheng Zhi stood up on the bench and hugged his head in regret.
Bayer Leverkusen need to score!
After Baia kicked the bottom line, captain Costa sent a long pass over the top in the backfield, and the ball fell in front of Leverkusen's penalty area, Emerson and Lucio went to defend Jadel at the same time, but Jadel took the lead in standing in a favorable position and jumped up and rubbed lightly! The ball fell into the penalty area! Kambalahota and Hapu were on their feet in the left corner of the six-yard box at the same time, and the former was still one step faster!
Knock β
That's right! The ball flew straight into Mattysek's arms.
call
call
Call!
Marty Seck gasped, clutched the ball tightly in his arms, and looked around, only to find that there was no teammate to pick up. After hesitating for a long time, he still kicked the ball out with a big kick, and the ball went straight in the direction of Ronaldinho.
Ronalnidio squeezed together with Secretario near the touchline, and the two did not give in to each other, and Paulinio Santos was about to be trapped, Ronalnidio chose to stretch out his right foot early and use the outside of his right foot to cushion the ball again!
Once again, Secretario was helpless, watching the ball fly over his head, and all he could do was hold Ronaldinho at the waist.
Beep
Fouled, he got a Topaz card. Leverkusen, who was caught in a positional battle, still did not try to attack, Emerson passed the ball to Lamelo, and LaMelo passed back to Hapu, Hap and Hoffman played a wall-hitting cooperation, and then passed the ball to Gresco on the left, but the strength was too small, and when Gresco received the ball, Capjo pounced, and Gresco could only clear the ball with a big foot!
"Alas!"
"Without Zheng Zhi here, what are you playing with passing?"
"It's unreliable!"
"Did they really not find out that Leverkusen's system became strong because of Zheng Zhi's existence?"
"The current technical and tactical style of play is wrong,"
"Completely unrealistic."
'You have to get the ball to the front as soon as possible and let Ronalnidio and Riberido get the ball.'
"How many times did Neuville get the ball up front?"
"Although I have been staring at the opponent's attack for about ten minutes now, but for the players on the field of Leverkusen, isn't it tiring?"
The two sides fought back and forth, and the clock finally came to the 75th minute, and Worrall finally made another adjustment, replacing Ribery with Ponte.
Why me?
Ribery looked incomprehensible, he still has a lot of physical fitness! You can keep fighting. But Worrall took him, and he wanted to cry without tears.
He was still a thief when he was gone.
"Ribery is really inexperienced, why do you run so fast? Won't he stall for time? What a rookie. β
"But I don't understand Worrall's adjustment, Ribery is one of the few players on the pitch who plays hard, he replaced Ribery, isn't that just Ronaldinho left? Ballack is now more defensive, with only Ronaldinho on the left to support the attack, and Neuville being even more lonely up front. β
Ponte came up to play on the right side, but the formation remained unchanged. Porto also made substitutions, Barros came up for Rudolph and Clayton came up for Paulinho Santos, and the substitutions ran out, and both players were attacking and fought to the death, leaving them with a little more than fifteen minutes left.
Ribery sat next to Zheng Zhi and glanced at Zheng Zhi.
"Rest assured,"
"No problem."
"Be sure to trust them."
Zheng Zhi's voice is still calm, although the situation does not look good for Bayer Leverkusen at all.
"I hope so."
Ribery was not so sure, after the game, he began to get nervous, on the field he only wanted to fight for his life, but off the field, he can only do it in a hurry.
At this time, Ballack was getting the ball on the court, and Barros, who had just come up, and Deco were guarding him at the same time, but Ballack still calmly passed the ball back to LaMelo. LaMelo gave Ronaldinho a side, Ronaldinho once again faced the defense of Clayton and Secretario, and Ronaldinho could only pass the ball back to Emerson, who shifted his big foot!
Ponte, who had just come up, was obviously experienced, and quickly dragged Rubens to the right front. But it was still snatched by Rubens during the battle for the top, and the ball was left except for the touchline. Bayer Leverkusen won a boundary ball up front.
But no one went up!
When Ponte picked the ball back, it was found that only Neuville and Ballack had come up to catch it, and Ponte could only throw the ball hard to Hoffman.
Hoffman didn't expect Ponte to throw the ball back, and his reaction was still half a beat slower, but Cumbala Horta's footsteps were like arrows, and he actually broke the ball first!
"Danger!"
"Oops!"
Grass! Lucio was also shocked.
The beastly Kambalahorta struck a right-footed attempt to run straight past Bayer Leverkusen's right defence.
At the critical moment, Lucio couldn't care so much at all, and strode the meteor forward, spotting the feet of Kambalahota and shoveling down!
Click~
Completely reckless!
There was no choice at this time, and he absolutely could not let Kambalahota rush over.
Dangerous moves!
With a snort, a cold sliding shovel swept from Kerbala Hota's right foot, and Kerbala Hota was too late to jump, Lucio's right foot swept firmly to the top of his foot, and Kambalahota instantly fell forward and fell to the ground.
Beep!
The whistle blew.
Yellow!
"God!"
"Another loss!"
"Lucio got a yellow card, which means he has to miss the final as well, if they can really have the final!"
"The price to pay for this battle is too great."
Lucio didn't realize his future, didn't even look at the yellow card, and quickly retreated into the penalty area.
Hoffman was still looking sorry, but Lucio yelled, "Come back and line up the wall!" β
"Come back!"
He beckoned his teammates like a leader, motioning for them to hurry back to their defense.
Then, Bayer Leverkusen built a wide human wall in front of the goal, and it was still Deco standing on top of the ball, but Deco's ball hit the human wall, and finally Ponte grabbed the ball.
Ponte rushed with the ball for more than ten meters in a row and did not pass the ball to Neuville in front, because he saw Ronaldinho kill from the left and immediately sent a long diagonal pass!
Ronaldinho and Secretario went almost head to head, cutting in from the left side of the middle of the penalty area like Porto, and in the blink of an eye past Porto captain Costa!
The ball falls in the air!
"Chance!"
"Chance!"
"Chance!"
"Opportunity !!!"
The Bayer Leverkusen fans, the coach's bench and the bench all stood up, stretched their heads, and waited for Ronaldinho to break through the blockade and get the ball.
Seeing that the ball was about to fall in front of him, Ronaldinho's left side of the Secretario right shoulder was covertly squeezed, Ronaldinio stumbled, his steps were chaotic, he took a step to the right, and missed the falling ball!
But in the next moment, Ronaldinho's left hand slapped in front of his chest, stunned to shoot the ball, the ball fell in front of his right foot, Ronaldinho's right foot was immediately picked out, the ball hung straight to the upper left corner of the goal, Baia standing in front of the goal did not save at all but immediately raised his right hand, and then slapped his arm with his left hand.
"Handball!"
"Handball!"
"Handball!"
"Handball!"
He yelled at the manager excitedly, he could see it too clearly.
Actually, it's not just him? The Porto fans standing behind the goal saw it and they chanted the same.
"Handball!"
"Handball!"
"Handball!"
It resounded throughout the stadium like a stormy wave.
The Bayer Leverkusen fans didn't have time to cheer before they were silenced by the fury of the Porto fans.
Is this a handball?
The referee didn't see it, but he immediately looked at the linesman and used the headset to see if it was a handball!
The linesman's answer was firm.
It's a handball!
The referee immediately ran up to Ronaldinho and threw a yellow card at Ronaldinho without hesitation.
"Ahh
"God!"
"Another yellow card!"
"Ronaldinho! Did his brain get on the wrong foot, why did he use his hands to rack the ball down? β
"It's understandable to be eager to score goals, but don't you think about the consequences?"
"It's tragic."
"It's a complete tragedy."
After the slow-motion replay, Breitner could see it clearly, and the audience watching the live TV could see it clearly.
"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just a handball,"
"The goal is invalid and the score is still 2:1."
"But Ronaldinho's yellow card can't be changed, he has also accumulated two yellow cards, he will be suspended!"
Worrall shook his head on the sidelines, and Zheng Zhi and Ribery on the bench also looked at each other.
"Stupid."
"This idiot!"
Ribery scolded first.
"Well, I don't know what's in his head."
And Zheng Zhi?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that the guy on the pitch was not Ronaldinho, but Balotelli......
Ronalnidio, who was on the field, rolled his dark eyes and looked dazed......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
The clock was 85 minutes. After paying the price of multiple yellow cards, Bayer Leverkusen finally dragged the clock to the end. Just a few more minutes will have to finish the game and they will reach the Champions League final 99-00.
Porto are still attacking like crazy.
Deco couldn't help himself and tried a long-range shot from 30 yards out, but it was ridiculously deflected. After Bayer Leverkusen counter-attacked, Calleton ventured into a flying tackle against Ballack and cut off the ball before handing it to Jadel.
Jadel turned with difficulty and stuffed the ball into Kambalahota, who was also in a hurry, and fired a left-footed shot from the penalty area, but the ball was also deflected.
Time passed inexorably, and it finally came to stoppage time, leaving them with only three minutes.
Worrall and his disciples on the bench were on the verge of running into the pitch, almost everyone's hands were clenched into fists, they just wanted to wait for the game to end, they didn't believe anything else would happen.
The air of death over the Dragons Stadium is getting stronger and stronger, and the home team Porto looks like they are powerless, but the fans are still screaming wildly.
Once again, LaMelo gifted a set-piece, but Deco still couldn't get it into the handle of Maati Seck.
In the last minute, Porto still tried to attack, the ball fell into the Leverkusen penalty area, but Rubens' cross was too powerful and it went straight into Maatisek's arms, and when Matisek pressed the ball, dragged it for six seconds and then kicked it out......
Beep
Beep
Beep ββββββββ
The game is finally over.
Porto lost 1-2 at home, losing 3-5 on aggregate to Bayer Leverkusen, and were denied the 99-00 Champions League final, which was promoted to Bayer Leverkusen.
"Haha!"
Ribery rushed from the bench like a hare on the loose, and even Zheng Zhi forgot about his shoulder injury and got up and rushed onto the field.
The same goes for head coach Worrall......
The Dragons Stadium became a sea of celebration for Bayer Leverkusen.
"It worked,"
"It worked,"
"We succeeded,"
"We did it!"
Every Bayer Leverkusen player was yelling and hugging with excitement.
"Zheng!"
"We did it!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Every Porto player has a look of frustration written on their faces.
Top scorer Jadel squinted his eyes and looked up at the dragon's sky, his face full of suspicion.
Why?
It wasn't they who won?
Why don't the dragons favor the home team?
Deco, the heart of the midfield, lay on the turf, his hands fully spread and his eyes glazed......
duangοΌοΌοΌ
Mourinho in the stands slammed his fist on the railing again, his face was full of unwillingness, and his mouth was tight.
Then he jumped up, dashed over the railing, landed on the pitch, and clapped his palms vigorously.
"Although I lost,"
"But though you are defeated, you are still glorious."
"Someday,"
"We're going to come back, we're going to make it to the finals!"
"You guys are the best!"
He comforted the players one by one.
"Thank you,"
"Thank you,"
"Thank you for a great game."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Great, great, great!"
"After reaching the final last year, Bayer Leverkusen reached the final of the Champions League and will continue their push to the Champions League against Manchester United and Real Madrid. Great Bayer Leverkusen! β
'Even though they paid a heavy price to reach the Champions League final, it was all worth it and maybe in a month they will take the Big Ears Cup back to Germany.'
"Tonight, it belongs to Bayer Leverkusen!"
"Tonight, it belongs to Germany!"
Almost the whole of Germany is crazy, even Bayern Munich fans are moved at this moment, after all, Bayer Leverkusen represents Germany, not just Bayer Leverkusen.
"Ah,"
"Gotta win!"
"Gotta win!"
Bayern Munich fans put their championship hopes on Bayer Leverkusen to wash away their humiliation from last year.
