Chapter 340: Conflict and Penalties

Barcelona's stormy attack hit, and the hope of winning lies here, and everyone is out of the way and starting to fight!

The fast pace of passing made Arsenal, a Premier League team, a little overwhelmed, and it fell into passivity for a while.

Like a small fishing boat in a storm and tsunami, in the face of rough waves, it will be overturned into the sea at any time, and it will be torn by sharks to the point that there are no bones left!

In the 34th minute, Gyuli broke through on the right and crossed, Eto'o pressed Kolo Toure to grab the header, but because he was too upright, he was held in his arms by Almunia who was in danger but was not flustered;

In the 36th minute, Arsenal's counterattack was ended, Xiao Luo rushed forward with the ball in the middle, shook Gilberto Silva and Flamini in a row, and suddenly shot at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the angle was so tricky that Almunia could only sigh, but unfortunately, his shot was deflected out of the goal in everyone's regret;

Two minutes later, Ronaldo made a comeback, and after a continuous dribble on the left side, Eboue lost his center of gravity for a while, and then suddenly cut inside to complete a shot, and the ball actually hit the post with a bang;

......

The repeated attacks made Arsenal breathless at all, and the wind in front of the goal was loud, and they did not block Barcelona's attack, they had to be afraid for a while, but Barcelona's offensive was too fierce, and they were under too much pressure.

Time flies!

It's better to blow the whistle quickly to end the first half, and if you continue to play like this, I don't know if you can lose the ball, their hearts are about to lose it.

However, Barcelona is more anxious than them, and if they can't get a goal back as soon as possible, the second half will be more variable!

The tense atmosphere on the field was suffocating, and the fans were staring at the stadium for fear of missing a wonderful shot.

Quaresma admitted that he was a little anxious, and that he had almost received a yellow card for a reckless foul on Deco, although the referee was merciful and only verbally warned him, but if he couldn't calm down, it would be a matter of time before he got a card!

In the final analysis, I still don't cultivate enough, and my mentality can't be tight, otherwise how can I be impulsive!

Made!

If you can keep the wind calm at any time, then you are a king!

If you remain indifferent in the most intense games, it only means that you are not fit to play because it is a bloody sport.

If you are young, you should have unlimited firepower!

Even if a yellow card delays a little bit, as long as you can survive the first half, it will be worth it.

Putting down his baggage, Quaresma launched another sprint, even if it can't directly disrupt the attack, scaring you half to death!

However, at this moment, Barcelona played the attack to the right of Arsenal, and Eboue and Eto'o, who had been pulled to the wing, suddenly collided, and both fell to the ground at the same time.

Eto'o quickly got up and the referee awarded Barcelona a free-kick on the wing, but at this time, Eboue still fell to the ground holding his ankle, acting in pain?

Quaresma couldn't really see it because of the distance, and he thought that Ebue was trying to delay time, and the so-called unbearable pain was all pretended by him!

Because Eboue couldn't stand up for a long time, the Arsenal players went over to check, and even the referee walked over quickly, if he was really injured, then quickly let the team doctor enter the field, and if he didn't work, he would go on a stretcher!

At this time, Quaresma believed that Eboue was really injured, or at least it hurt, because with Eboue's funny style, he could maintain his acting skills for three seconds, even if he was good!

But at this moment, the Barcelona players were dissatisfied, and their impatience broke out, and Van Bommel rushed to Eboue's side first.

"Get up, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, I know you're nothing, bastard!"

Eto'o was about to enter the penalty area to grab a point, but at this time he also rushed over angrily, accusing Eboue of lying on the ground and pretending to be injured and deliberately delaying time.

The referee signaled the Barcelona players not to approach, and at the same time signaled the team doctor and the stretcher to enter the field, because it seemed that Eboue was indeed injured!

However, what Quaresma didn't expect was that before the team doctor arrived, Van Bommel actually grabbed Eboue in frenzy and wanted to drag him out of the field!

Nima!

Quaresma instantly felt the blood rush to the top of his head, and his eyes were red!

Crazy!

"Get out!"

With a roar, Quaresma exploded, rushed over in two steps, pushed Van Bommel away, pushed it aside, and after Van Bommel turned around, Quaresma pushed over, glared angrily at Van Bommel, and resisted the urge to punch him!

He was so angry!

Do you still have a little bit of humanity?

Even if you think Eboue is stalling for time, you can complain to the referee!

Why don't you want to drag Eboue out of the game, if Eboue's injury is affected, I'm not done with you!

Van Bommel is like a lion, in the face of the furious Quaresma, he is not cowardly at all, and he also pushes against Quaresma, and it is condescending, and the two are completely together!

Quaresma's fist was already raised, and he clearly saw Van Bommel's hand that was about to punch, so he didn't care, he beat it first!

And at the moment when the bullet was loaded, the players of the two teams closest to the two hurriedly rushed over and separated the two.

One second slower, I'm afraid it will turn into a real fight!

Quaresma was still glaring at Van Bommel with anger in his eyes, and the anger in his eyes was almost turning into substance!

The referee was startled, and hurriedly stood in the middle, not letting the players of the two teams contact again, if there is a large-scale conflict on the field of the Champions League final, there is violence on the field, and others do not know whether they will suffer, and the referee, who did not control the game well, will have no future at all.

At this time, the team doctor and the stretcher had already entered the field, and carefully carried Eboue out of the sideline, and there was no doubt that Eboue was really injured!

The referee took control of the situation and called Quaresma and Van Bommel to his side.

"Focus on the game, this is a warning, don't do anything provocative or excessive, or I'll be sorry to send you off the field!"

After showing a yellow card to Quaresma and Van Bommel respectively, the referee warned him very seriously.

Quaresma pushed Van Bommel hard, this yellow card is certainly not too much, if Van Bommel chicken thief falls to the ground directly, even if he directly sends Quaresma out of the game, it makes sense, and Van Bommel actually has a move on the injured player, a yellow card is also a lighter punishment, and the referee is merciful to both of them!

glared at Van Bommel and gave him a "be careful to look good" look, Quaresma was a little scared after being impulsive!

If you really get a red card, then Arsenal may really be finished!

It's not the point to still play one less person, the point is that in the case of only 9 players left on the field, it means that there is more and more room for Xiao Luo to play, and his threat will inevitably become bigger and bigger.

Although they can't play much defensive role on the field, at least with their own presumptuousness, Barcelona still doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, and they must guard against their own counterattacks.

Patting himself on the chest, Quaresma took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself, which was more important than anything else.

"Don't be too impulsive, if you are punished and leave me alone on the field to fight back, I am not as fast as you!" Henry walked over and put his arm around Quaresma's shoulder.

Quaresma nodded, even if Henry didn't say it, he knew what to do.

The game has been played to this extent, it is nothing more than who can persevere.

Don't think about anything else, hold on to the last few minutes of the first half!

After Barcelona's free-kick, their ferocious attack came again, but because of this delay, Barcelona's attacking coherence was interrupted, and at the same time, time was also consumed, and before they could create a real threat again, the first half of the game was over.

2:0

With one less player, Arsenal still stubbornly held the goal and maintained the score advantage!

Quaresma let out a long breath and walked off the pitch with a relieved look on his face.

It's hard!

Even when Milan was beaten by Milan away from home, it didn't seem to be so difficult.

Xiao Luo's ability at his peak is too strong!

In the face of Arsenal's middle two-man bag, they can still break through the ball with ease, such as entering no one's land, if it weren't for Arsenal's good luck in the first half, they would have conceded the goal!

At this point, Quaresma can also see that in terms of overall strength, Arsenal is indeed inferior to Barcelona.

But this will not discourage Quaresma, after all, it is the score of the victory, let you play wildly, you can't win the ball, you can't afford to lift the trophy.

The positional battle can't beat Barcelona, but Arsenal's counterattack also makes Barcelona unable to hold on, whether it is Quaresma or Henry, one person can cause mass destruction, if two people fight together, Barcelona's defense is also confused.

Back in the locker room, Quaresma didn't have the heart to joke with his teammates, sat there quietly to recover his strength, and in the last game of the season, even if he couldn't hold his physical fitness, he had to grit his teeth and stick to the last moment!

"Even though I'm always confident of winning, I'm still excited when you actually get a two-goal advantage!"

Arsene Wenger uncharacteristically did not calmly explain the tactics of the second half, but made a speech in a very deep tone.

"In the first half, maybe everyone didn't play perfectly, and we even had to play one less, but anyway, two goals were enough to make me proud!"

"Champions League is our dream all along!"

"For the first time in my life, I was so close to my dream!"

"As it turned out, Barcelona weren't so scary, as good as them, but they weren't able to break through our goal!"

"There are 45 minutes left, whether we crouch in the corner and watch Barcelona celebrate the championship silently after the game, or we stand on the top podium and lift the championship trophy, we will get the answer in these last 45 minutes!"

"For the champion!"

"For the dream!"

"For the sake of great Arsenal, please take all Arsenal people to see the scenery at the top!"

......

Arsene Wenger seems to have been emotional, the players have never seen Wenger like this, at least not Quaresma.

I just don't know if Wenger was so excited when Arsenal won the Premier League title!

In front of the champion, the French coach can't be calm!

The players responded with a bang, roaring to the sky, with a momentum that no one could defeat, Hao Haoran rushed out of the locker room and walked into the field again!

Quaresma's heart was pounding, his blood was constantly surging, and he was always in a state of excitement.

Looking at the equally scrappy Barcelona players opposite, Quaresma had an awe-inspiring chill in his eyes.

Do you want to win?

Stop dreaming!

I'm here, and no one can snatch the championship!

Soon, the second half of the game began.

Lauren came off the bench to replace Bouee who suffered an ankle injury late in the first half, and Arsenal have now used up two substitutions.

Now, this side has become the center of gravity of Barca's attack.

Quaresma is not good at defending, and Lauren has just come out and may not be in the game quickly, which is obviously a more suitable breakthrough.

Many times, players who have just come off the bench will make a lot of mistakes because they don't get into the rhythm of the game, and even get sent off for reckless defensive actions the next second.

Barcelona recognized this and frequently launched onslaughts this time.

Quaresma couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Lauren, Lauren faced Xiao Luo's BUG on the court alone, but don't be able to hold it as soon as you come up!

Xiao Luo once again took the ball on the left side, and was about to go to the ribs between three and two shakes, but Lauren's center of gravity suddenly moved and stuck the position, forcing Xiao Luo to return to the side, as if he was not slow at all because he had just come on the field.

Seeing this, Quaresma let out a long breath.

Lauren is still reliable!

Unlike Eboue, a fast horse striker, Lauren's offense and defense are more balanced, and even more defensive, although it is impossible to completely prevent Xiao Luo, but it can cause more problems for Xiao Luo.

Feel a little relieved, since the defense is probably like this, then, if you want to win, you should think about how to counterattack, that is the real meaning of staying on the field.

Soon, the opportunity came!

Xiao Luo once again took the ball in the middle and sent it straight through, but Almunia judged it right, attacked in advance and hugged the ball, and then threw the ball with his hand to launch a quick attack.

Henry stopped the ball on the left side outside the penalty area, turned around and quickly rushed forward with the ball, and after deducting Deco, he was already flat in front!

The Arsenal fans in the stands couldn't help but start cheering, and Arsenal's counterattack is here again!

Thierry Henry raced down the left and Quaresma followed up on the right, and no matter what the opposition was defending, Quaresma and Henry combined could be incredibly destructive.

Edmilson chased back frantically, but he couldn't keep up with the speedy Quaresma, and he wanted to cry as he ran, which was an embarrassment.

And Henry also began to make waves on the left side, after a pluck ball dodged Oleg, he suddenly changed the line to the ribs, attracted Marcos's defense, and sent a straight kick to the right side, where Quaresma had already jumped out like lightning, rushed into the penalty area in a few steps, and looked like he was about to get the ball first!

Who can stop Quaresma from shooting?

Valdés certainly can't do it, because he doesn't even have a chance to attack!

It is foreseeable that Quaresma will inevitably seize this opportunity and rewrite the score to 3:0 in one fell swoop.

Arsenal's counterattack is so unreasonable!

However, just as Quaresma was about to touch the ball, his side suddenly used a strong force, and even though Quaresma tried his best to stabilize his body, he couldn't keep his balance, stumbled two steps, and fell to the ground!

Van Bronckhorst on my side knocked me out?

In a trance, Quaresma realized that he had fallen in the Barcelona penalty area!

In the piercing exclamation, the referee's whistle sounded, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the referee, staring at him and waiting for his ruling!

I saw the referee take out a yellow card, show it to Van Bronckhorst, who had just cleared the ball, and then quickly pointed to the penalty spot, and his action made the entire Stade de France explode.

It's a penalty!

Quaresma sat on the ground and couldn't help but wave his fist, this result was fantastic!

Although if the Barcelona full-back does not foul, he is also confident to score a single goal, but now it is not a loss to change a penalty and add a yellow card to the opponent!

With a yellow card in hand, Van Bronckhorst didn't dare to make any random moves when defending himself, and then he would have more opportunities to create a threat.

I couldn't help but yell out with excitement, hugged Henry who rushed over, and in the cheers of the Arsenal fans in the stands, the celebration had already begun.

There was no goal, it was only a penalty, but that didn't stop them from celebrating early!

This time, they have a chance to take a three-goal lead!

The Barcelona players panicked around the referee to justify, hoping that the referee could cancel the penalty award, they have already suffered two blows and can no longer afford to concede the goal!

Especially Van Bronckhorst, the whole person was depressed, like a walking corpse, almost collapsed!

The mind is full of the terrible consequences of the team's three-goal deficit, if the penalty is really scored, Barcelona still have a way to live?

Barcelona fans in the stands scolded angrily, venting their dissatisfaction in their hearts, they thought that the referee of this game was simply the 12th person on the field of Arsenal, and all the decisions were in favor of Arsenal, such a bastard, why didn't he die?

Regardless of the Barcelona players protesting in every way, the referee will not easily change his decision, a foul in the penalty area is a foul, and a penalty kick is needed!

The Arsenal players also rushed up at this time and hugged Quaresma, and at this moment, they felt that the sky was bright!

With a three-goal lead, Barcelona is still a ghost!

laughing and laughing presumptuously, as if he had already lifted the championship trophy, made the Barcelona players around him resentful, but who cares!

Henry put his arms around Quaresma, his mouth closed.

"You take a penalty?"

Quaresma was about to nod his head in the middle of nowhere, but caught a glimpse of the hopeful glint in Henry's expression and eyes.

Clearly, Thierry Henry wanted to take a penalty.

Thierry Henry was superstitious that he would not take penalties that he created, believing that taking penalties he created would bring him bad luck, and he always adhered to this rule.

But if it's someone else's penalty, it doesn't matter, Henry is the team's first penalty taker and specializes in penalty kicks made by others.

However, Thierry Henry is not an overbearing captain and usually consults with the person who made the penalty before he takes the penalty after agreeing to it.

Henry knew what the game meant to Quaresma, so even though he wanted to take the penalty, he hesitated and decided to let Quaresma take the penalty.

Quaresma, however, understood better what the game meant to Henry.

As Arsenal's rookie captain, Thierry Henry has been under no less pressure than Arsene Wenger since the start of the season, and as the Gunners' leader, where he can take Arsenal has always been questioned.

Moreover, if you can leave your name in such an important game as the Champions League final, it is tantamount to adding a strong stroke to your career.

Quaresma understood Henry's desire, so he shook his head!

"Let's go!"

Quaresma has already scored, and the best revenge for Barcelona is undoubtedly to shatter their championship dreams, so it doesn't matter if he can score again.

A brace or even a hat-trick is enjoyable, but having a goal in hand is enough!

So, Quaresma chose to give the penalty to Thierry Henry!

Henry had excitement on his face, and he wanted to push again, but he was really afraid that Quaresma would take advantage of the situation to take the penalty, so after nodding solemnly, he hurriedly walked to the penalty spot with the ball.

The Barcelona players stood outside the penalty area, looking helpless, and they all seemed to have been deflated in this situation.

Of course, the last hope lies in Henry, if his penalty is not scored, then Barcelona will inevitably be imposing, and it may not be possible to take Arsenal away in a wave!

Henry put down the ball, looked solemn, and slowly stepped back, constantly taking deep breaths in an effort to calm himself down.

Stopped, looked back at his teammates behind him, and was naturally greeted by his teammates' high erections... Thumb!

Smile heartily, relax your mood, and no longer panic!

Then let me finish this game!

Henry roared firmly in his heart, his expression suddenly became hideous, and he suddenly started, as if he was carrying an indomitable momentum all over his body during the run.

With a kick on the ball, Henry hit the ball to the left side of the goal, both with force and angle, and it was extremely precise!

Everyone's eyes were on the ball, and Valdés in front of goal made a flying save, but it was still a little too late, and he watched the ball fly into the goal in front of him.

Rumble!

The Stade de France is boiling!

3:0

Arsenal are already ahead of Barcelona by a resounding scoreline!

Henry roared, jumped high, and waved his powerful fist, the tall figure, reflected in the floodlights on the court, like a god of war.

The teammates had already rushed up frantically, pressing the captain under him, layer by layer, layer by layer, and stacked Arhat in the Barcelona penalty area.

Quaresma felt like she was about to ascend to heaven!

Contest, won!

Kill Barcelona, they can't turn over!

Now, do you have any last words to confess?

How does it taste?
