How many goalkeepers will have the opportunity to appear in the Champions League final, and how many will be able to survive the opportunity to shoot penalties in the pinnacle duel? ”

Less than two months later, in the European Championship final between the Netherlands and the Soviet Union, Bruckren defused Belanov's penalty to help the team win the title 2-0.

That "penalty year" lasted until the end of the year, and although Brookland was still heroic, the Uruguayan goalkeeper who put in an even more amazing performance allowed PSV Eindhoven to lose after nine penalty rounds.

00-01 Bayern 6-5 Valencia (120 mins, 1-1) Legendary goalkeeper Kahn

It was the "penalty final" in the history of the UEFA Champions League, and 11 goals were scored from penalties.

02-03 AC Milan 3-2 Juventus (0-0 120 mins) Legendary goalkeeper Dida

In an Italian-style final, the careful tactical arrangement of the coaches of both sides did not have too many heartbeat scenes for 120 minutes.

The penalty shootout became a contest between Buffon and Dida, two top goalkeepers, the Italian international is not outstanding, but the Brazilian goalkeeper on the goal line seems to be more feared by the opponent, in front of Dida Trezeguet, Salayeta and Montero The three players became trembling, and the quality of the penalty was mediocre and Dida was resolved one by one, and the Brazilian also used this battle to further establish the status of a first-class goalkeeper. Now, of course, two years later, he has failed to save Milan again.

04-05 Liverpool 6-5 AC Milan (120 mins, 3-3) Legendary goalkeeper Tang Wu

Looking at the goalkeepers who "became famous" in the penalty shootout before, none of them were as young as Tang Wu.

Coupled with Tang Wu's identity as a Chinese, even if he often keeps clean sheets in the Premier League, he is not favored before the game.

Especially after being scored three goals by Milan in the first half, in the eyes of those fans who opposed Tang Wu, the identity of the paper tiger was completely realized.

But Tang Wu only took less than a game to clear his name, assisted in the second half, made a god-level save in overtime, and performed a fairy-level performance in the penalty shootout. In the most crucial game of Liverpool's entire season, Tang Wu was directly qualified to win the title of the world's No. 1 goalkeeper.

Future generations may forget the four goals he conceded on the pitch, but they will always remember his fantastical performance in the penalty shoot-out. That's football, that's life.

In the 8 penalty shootouts created in the 50 years of the Champions Cup, Tang Wu became the eighth penalty meritorious goalkeeper in history. Together with seven seniors, they were written into the legend of the pinnacle of European football. ”

As the most authoritative newspaper on Fleet Street, The Times believes that the 21-year-old Tang Wu has become one of Europe's top superstars, completing the transformation from a rookie to a superstar today.

In the words of Liverpool legend Dalglish after the game, "If the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year were awarded by me, I would definitely award them to Tang Wu." Because he was the most important star of the past year for Liverpool to achieve such a miraculous record. ”

The Times also listed Tang Wu's outstanding performance in the Premier League and Champions League this season, believing that Tang Wu is already the most solid shield in European football today, and it is also the safest shield for Liverpool.

"From the way of goalkeeping, to the active participation in the attack, to the tactical quality, Tang Wu has been constantly improving himself, he has made himself more face-to-face, more perfect, even as the goalkeeper's weakest header, he has been practicing this year. Add to that his amazing footwork, and who would have thought that these abilities that others could only dream of would appear in a goalkeeper? ”

'He can pass the ball like a midfielder, he can assist, he can make brilliant passes to his team-mates; He can also use his height and arm length advantage to repeatedly make small shots on the goal line and save Liverpool! ”

"He's even the goalkeeper with the most assists in the Premier League and the goalkeeper with the most goals in the Champions League......"

"There is no doubt that Tang Wu is the most offensive player in the world!"

The Times also gave a lengthy account of Tang Wu's journey from Chelsea to where he is today.

"From a thin Chinese kid to a top European superstar today, Tang Wu's journey has not been easy, and when he was at Arsenal, he was almost considered untalented and rejected from professional football. But it is precisely because of this that he realized early on that his career was not easy to come by, so he cherished it very much. ”

"In the Premier League, clubbing and drinking are the norm for professional footballers, bars, discos, nightclubs, it's not uncommon to see professional players in these places, but Tang Wu's life is very regular, except for Liverpool's collective action, he never sets foot in these places, even when the team is celebrating, he does not drink at all."

A year ago, a British media threatened to dig up Tang Wu's black materials within a month, and Britain's most charming football baby threatened to climb into Tang Wu's bed within three months. But a year later, they all came home, and when they led Liverpool to the Champions League final and won the championship in one fell swoop, only his real girlfriend was still by his side! ”

"It is precisely because of self-discipline that Tang Wu has greater progress than others and room for further improvement."

"What's more, his left hand is so magical, so mysterious! I don't think anyone in the world will refuse his left hand! ”

"There are rumours that Chelsea will spare no expense to re-poach Tang Wu, and Real Madrid and Barcelona have repeatedly been involved with him. However, Tang Wu publicly stated in an interview after the game that he would not leave Liverpool for the time being, and Liverpool might give him a new contract. ”

"According to Liverpool insiders, the management has given enough sincerity this time and will try their best to keep Tang Wu, and even do not hesitate to offer him the highest sky-high contract in the history of Liverpool and the Premier League, maybe surpassing Gerrard and becoming the highest-paid player in Liverpool and the most expensive goalkeeper in the Premier League!"

Captain Steven Gerrard welcomed this, believing that the team should keep Tang Wu at all costs, because it is tantamount to keeping the title for Liverpool, and he believes that Tang Wu will usher in a glorious golden year in Liverpool. And Gerrard made it clear that he could even cede his captaincy. ”

The Times believes that "for this treasure of the town team who has grown into a world-class superstar, no matter how high the transfer fee of other teams, Liverpool has only one answer, no! ”

……

After the Champions League, Tang Wu is infinitely close to the European Golden Globe Award!

In addition to focusing on the Champions League final, the German newspaper Bild also reported on Tang Wu at length.

German media believe that Tang Wu has been the best player in European football in the past season.

Best Goalkeeper in the Premier League, Best Goalkeeper in the League Cup, Best Goalkeeper in the FA Cup, Best Goalkeeper in the Champions League, plus the best player in every tournament and the number of times he has won the VP, he deserves all the praise, even the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year! ”

The German newspaper Bild gave a very high evaluation of Tang Wu's performance in the Champions League final, believing that Yang Yang was the most crucial player for Liverpool in this game, not only contributing a magical save, but only Tang Wu could add attacking power to the team as a goalkeeper in the last minute of regular time.

'Both sides played a good half of the pitch but obviously Liverpool were better at the end,'

"It can be said that Tang Wu is already the strongest shield in the world, and it also has spikes on its shield surface, which can give a fatal blow to the opponent who attacks him at any time!"

Regarding Tang Wu's performance, the German Bild also believed, "If the Golden Globe Award is not given to him, I really can't think of anyone I can give it to." ”

……

The French team newspaper also believes that Tang Wu is the VP of European football in the past season.

"Although he has just transferred, Tang Wu can almost be said to have integrated seamlessly into Liverpool."

"Tang Wu didn't have much time to settle into his new team, but he quickly showed that he was good enough and put in a great performance on all four fronts: the League, the League Cup, the FA Cup and the Champions League."

"The last game of the Champions League group stage was precisely because of Tang Wu's barbed goal to help Liverpool advance to the round of 16. It's hard for even a striker to hit such a goal, let alone a goalkeeper! ”

"Such a player, when it comes to the Champions League final, can attack and defend, and naturally becomes a key figure in determining the direction of the game."

Brazilian Kaka scored twice in the game, but Tang Wu denied his penalty and dealt the fatal blow to Milan. The humiliation he received was reported back on the spot, and Tang Wu's character of not admitting defeat also means that he will become a great weapon. ”

The French team newspaper believes that Tang Wu is the key factor for Liverpool to win the Champions League, and he is also the most dazzling superstar in European football this season.

……

"Please note, it's Tang Wu time!"

The London Daily reported on the front page that Liverpool and Tang Wu had won the title.

The London media, which witnessed Tang Wu's journey from debut to fame, said that the Chinese teenager who was sent by Arsenal learned to mature in the ordeal, and finally grew up in the Champions League final!

The London Daily also said that with Tang Wu's popularity in the Premier League and European football, Arsenal regretted rejecting him at the beginning. The professor unearths some very talented players every year, but in the end he looks away from Tang Wu.

"The Chinese market has become popular in European football because of Tang Wu, and countless European scouts have landed in the East in search of young stars. There are even some clubs that have such a strange requirement as "Chinese Kung Fu". Especially in Tang Wu's hometown of Shenyang, Liaoning people have contributed many well-known generals even in China. ”

"Because of Tang Wu, there will be countless young Chinese people who have the opportunity to play football in Europe."

……

With Liverpool's championship in Athens, Tang Wu won the best player, and overnight, the world's media and newspapers have reported on it, even the United States, which is known as a football desert, and many media, including the New York Times, have also reported on the Champions League final and Tang Wu.

Everyone thinks that from now on, the big clubs will demand goalkeepers with higher standards, and a goalkeeper who can't attack is not a good goalkeeper!

Old Lang also specially produced a special feature of Tang Wu, named Tang Wu Storm, which was reprinted and translated into reports by authoritative media around the world.

"From the Premier League to Europe, from Europe to the world, overnight, Tang Wu's popularity is heating up sharply!"

Domestic media also gave the highest praise to Tang Wu's performance in European football.

The authoritative party newspaper even reported the news of Tang Wu winning the Champions League final for Liverpool on an important page, and forwarded the praise and evaluation of Tang Wu by authoritative media in many countries, believing that Chinese football has finally ushered in a world-class superstar.

"From now on, the Chinese will officially be among the top players in world football!"

After the live broadcast and the next morning's news program, the news program focused on Tang Wu's victory for Liverpool, believing that he was the number one contributor to the Reds' victory and the top superstar of European football in the past year.

"After this night, the world began to believe that European football will usher in an era of Tang Wu and an era of pride in China!"

Domestic fans were equally excited.

After watching the Champions League final, countless netizens and fans couldn't sleep all night and fell into a carnival.

Unlike Li Rongsco, who was also selected for the best team, Tang Wuke was a real Champions League champion and also won the honor of VIP in the final.

Such an honor can't be recovered by Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-scoop together.

In Tang Wu's official blog, a senior fan left an emotional message: "Tang Wu made me start to believe that Chinese can also play well, and Chinese also have their own football talents!" ”

And everyone is also looking forward to whether Tang Wu will be able to lead the Chinese team to stand out in next year's World Cup and help the Chinese team take more historical steps.

It's not impossible, because he's been so brilliant in the past year.

But there are also many Chinese fans who are worried that the weakness of Chinese football will drag Tang Wu down.

After all, it is difficult for players from countries with weak football to get results in the World Cup. Even if the qualifiers are not difficult, the Chinese team has not yet secured the qualification, and it will have to play a few tough battles. And Alihan said that it is not ruled out that Tang Wu will be called up for an important match.

This seems to outsiders to be a sign of weakness, but the players inside the national football team snorted in their nostrils. Especially Hao Cannon, he threatened in front of the media that he would not let Tang Wu return to China to compete. You just need to deal with the Premier League with peace of mind and come back and play directly in the World Cup.

Tang Wu's performance in Europe has not only given more and more Chinese fans hope, but also made more and more European teams see the potential of Chinese players.

From the moment he raised his hands in Istanbul, he had become China's flag in Europe and even in the world!
