Chapter Forty-Eight: The Game Has Really Begun
Cristiano Ronaldo's tireless thirst for goals is one of the reasons why he has become two of the best stars in the world.
In the 26th minute, he won the ball again on the right flank, this time with Siqueira defending him in front of him.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't hesitate to slip the ball into the box. Then in the face of Siqueira's defense, he stepped over the football with his left foot, stepped on the bike, and then followed with the outside of his right foot and gently flicked the football towards the baseline and broke through!
When Siqueira tried to reach for the football, it was too late, and the ball flew before his foot could reach it, and his outstretched foot kicked Ronaldo's leg.
As soon as the two sides made such contact, Cristiano Ronaldo lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded almost simultaneously with the shouts from the stands.
"Penalty !!"
All the Real Madrid fans chanted the word.
And the Atletico Madrid fans were chanting: "Fake fall!! ”
However, their numbers are too small to outnumber the Real Madrid fans.
Referee Laos also gestured to tell everyone that it was a penalty - he pointed to the spot.
"Ronaldo won a penalty for Real Madrid! No problem, Siqueira did play Ronaldo when he was defending! José Maria exclaimed.
Although Dong Jin, who was listening to the live broadcast of the game with a radio, could not see the game picture, this did not prevent him from making up the scene at that time.
In his imagination, it must have been Cristiano Ronaldo who faked a penalty kick, but in fact Siqueira did not touch the Portuguese at all. And this game is also the home of Real Madrid, and it is entirely possible that the referee will favor the home team in the game.
He yelled and cursed from the rooftop, and then managed to get his mother's attention and was yelled at again......

Regardless of the protests of the Atletico Madrid fans and players, the evidence of Siqueira's foul is conclusive, and there is no doubt about the referee's decision.
As soon as Ronaldo got up from the ground, he was pulled into the arms of his excited teammates, who slapped him on the shoulder and back to celebrate the penalty.
But Ronaldo did not participate in their excitement, but set his eyes on Gao Zheng in the distance.
He looked at Gao Zheng and seemed to be telling the other party with his eyes: If you win a game against me, you will win? Don't rejoice too soon!
Gao Zheng naturally noticed Ronaldo's eyes, and when he saw Ronaldo staring at him so directly, he could feel the meaning of the other party's eyes.
And that's what he's always wanted.
So he smiled at Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gao Zheng to be able to laugh in the face of his anger...... There's something wrong with this man's brain, right?
Or is it another psychological tactic that wants to disturb your mind with this meaningless and inexplicable smile, so that you don't play well in the next penalty?
The more Ronaldo thought about it, the more likely it became, so he withdrew his gaze and decided to hit back with a beautiful penalty.
※※※
There is no controversy or suspense about who will take the penalty at all.
Real Madrid's number one penalty taker was Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo.
So much so that when Chinese fans ridiculed Ronaldo, they called him the "ball owner", because Messi was known as the "ball king", and this "ball owner" obviously mocked Cristiano Ronaldo's goal for a higher proportion of penalty kicks.
In the vast majority of people's understanding, penalties are the best way to score goals.
In a sense, yes, penalties are better scored.
But because of this, it is not easy to take penalties. Because everyone defaults to the fact that you should score a penalty, and if you can't score, you are not level, so every player who takes a penalty will be under great pressure, and the penalty kick is not a test of technology, but psychological quality and ability to resist pressure.
At the critical moment of the crucial game, those who can withstand the pressure and kick the penalty into it must have a big heart, not just anyone. There are too many famous players in world football who are planted on 12 yards.
So it's not easy to be the number one penalty taker for a team.
At the very least, such people have a super big heart.
Ronaldo placed the ball on the penalty spot and both players had already exited the box.
In front of him, there was Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Moya, who spread his arms and tried to make himself look a little more imposing, and could block more goal areas.
At the same time, he had his own careful thinking in the selection of positions - he did not stand in the middle of the goal, but closer to the left. It's a psychological warfare game between the goalkeeper and the penalty taker, taking the initiative to give up the other side, making the other side look bigger, so that the penalty taker will think more about the penalty taker: Am I shooting to the side that the goalkeeper is giving up, or is the side where the goalkeeper is standing now? Is it true that the goalkeeper will let it out? Will he pounce back then? If I shoot that side is not in the right shot? But if I didn't shoot that side, and the other party really let that side, wouldn't I lose?
When you take a penalty, the most fearful thing is actually to think too much, once you think too much, you will hesitate, and if you hesitate, it will be difficult to talk about the quality of the penalty kick when you hesitate......
However, in the eyes of Cristiano Ronaldo, these are goalkeeper bluffs and meaningless.
This penalty, he must be kicked in, no matter what tricks the goalkeeper plays, it doesn't matter.
When referee Laos blew the whistle, Ronaldo started running.
At the same time as Ronaldo was running, Moya also began to move, he moved from the left to the middle, and it was a bluff just now!
Ronaldo kicks the football!
Moya pounced and pounced on the right side of the goal!
The ball was shot into the bottom left corner of the goal by Ronaldo!
Moya completely misjudged the direction!
The ball flew into the goal!
"The ball is in!!"
After the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the corner flag area and made his trademark celebration – jumping up and turning 180 degrees, landing with his hands and feet spread apart, showing his number and name to the camera camera and the fans.
At the same time, there was a loud roar, which had no specific meaning and was entirely invented by Cristiano Ronaldo himself.
And the Real Madrid fans also yelled along with Ronaldo.
The whole Bernabeu is the voice of "SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" ”
After trailing for thirteen minutes, the Bernabeu came back to life and Real Madrid fans hugged each other in celebration of the equaliser.
For them, it meant the game was on the right track.
The competition really starts now!
