Chapter 111: The Final Blow
With that long-range shot in the 68th minute to accumulate confidence, Dai Zhiwei became more and more active in the frontcourt. His tugging made the opposing players very uncomfortable, especially the change of direction and breakthrough, which almost always made the Real Madrid players unable to defend themselves.
Seeing that Dai Zhiwei was in good form, his team-mates were more active in passing the ball to him – as if they had been used to doing so since two-thirds of the time last season.
Give the ball to Dai Zhiwei and wait for the goal to cheer.
It's that simple!
In the 70th minute, Trigueros broke the ball in the midfield and passed it to Dai Zhiwei in the middle, and Kovacic just came up to mark after Dai Zhiwei got the ball.
Although Mateo Kovacic and Luka Modric are both Croatian midfielders, their defensive abilities are not the same.
Facing Kovacic, Dai Zhiwei turned around and suddenly started instantly, and when Kovacic just took a step, he was immediately a right-angle dummy body.
The right-angled prosthetic is the kind of unremarkable that looks like a mundane move, without pedaling a bicycle and flicking the tail of a bull, but it is extremely difficult to defend and can easily be used as a stake.
Kovacic didn't want to be given a stake, but he was caught off guard by Dai Zhiwei and fell to the ground.
Whether it's on the basketball court or on the football field, shaking off a defender is something to be proud of!
The Villarreal bench on the sidelines immediately burst into applause, and no matter whether Dai Zhiwei could hear it or not, he just howled vigorously.
Dai Zhiwei caused confusion in the Real Madrid backline after the breakthrough, he dribbled diagonally to the edge of the penalty area and shot a cold arrow, but fortunately the shot was blocked by Ramos's outstretched foot, but it landed right at the feet of Pato.
"Alexander!" Dai Zhiwei roared and quickly stepped forward into the penalty area.
When Pato heard Dai Zhiwei's voice, he didn't hesitate and knocked back to Dai Zhiwei directly.
As a result, the ball touched Carvajal's toe when Pato knocked back, turning from a boccia ball to a floating half-high ball, and the direction changed slightly.
"I'll go!" Dai Zhiwei didn't expect Pato's return knock to become a half-high ball, and now his previous steps and preparations for direct shots were all messed up!
Chest stop?
Dai Zhiwei subconsciously had this idea in his mind, because the height of the ball was exactly the height of the chest ball.
However, by this time, Varane, Ramos and Carvajal had already blocked from three sides, and it was impossible to give him time to stop the ball on his chest before making a move.
"Meng's kick counts the ball!" When Dai Zhiwei saw this situation, he was also ready to make a miracle!
Before the others could figure out what he was going to do, he took a scissor-leg pose in the air, bent his bow and arrow, and then kicked the football with his right foot!
Volley side hook!
After mastering Roberto Hongo's inverted hook skills, Dai Zhiwei was also familiar with this kind of volley side hook, and the ball suddenly flew out of the gap between Varane and Carvajal.
As the saying goes: the arrow hits the bull's-eye, the arrow goes off the string!
Casilla's view was blocked by the bodies of Varane and Carvajal, and by the time he saw the football, it had already flown near the penalty spot, and before he could make a save, the ball had already overtaken his body and spun around the net.
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
2:1!
Villarreal managed to take the lead again!
"Hahaha!" Dai Zhiwei also laughed out loud, generally like this unconventional way of shooting, the possibility of shooting away is far greater than the probability of scoring a goal, so the joy brought by scoring a goal is much more enjoyable than an ordinary goal!
After scoring the goal, Dai Zhiwei did not forget to blow the gun to celebrate while running!
In the new season, his gun barrel is still hot!
When Dai Zhiwei scored the goal, the bench of the Villarreal team was boiling, everyone rushed out of the bench, ran to the sidelines and yelled at Dai Zhiwei on the field, and some people wanted to rush into the field to pull Dai Zhiwei back to celebrate the goal.
Dai Zhiwei did not disappoint his teammates, and after blowing the gun to celebrate, he excitedly ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with his teammates and coaches.
Marcelino on the sidelines also clapped incessantly after raising his arms and shouting, the kind of fairy ball that everyone who truly loves football - except for the side that was hit into the goal.
"It's not inferior to Zidane's flying immortal!" The whole process of this goal was also replayed repeatedly on live TV, and the commentators of various TV stations were not stingy with praise, but even Real Madrid fans had to admit that this goal deserved such praise!
Dai Zhiwei's volley side hook also stunned all the fans at the scene, many Real Madrid fans from afar wanted to get up and applaud Dai Zhiwei, but as soon as they thought that it was their own goal that was breached, Real Madrid fans hesitated to sit down again, full of confusion to watch the Villarreal players there to celebrate.
It took a long time for the referee to persuade all the Villarreal players to return to the field, and Dai Zhiwei kept waving his fists at the fans in the stands before running back to his position.
Every attacking player wants to use a beautiful goal as his first goal of the new season, and Dai Zhiwei almost did it this time!
The goal also gave Villarreal a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid again.
Originally, the Real Madrid soldiers were not so strong in the desire to win this UEFA Super Cup, but with the progress of the game and the stimulation of Dai Zhiwei's wonderful goal just now, the Galaxy Battleship players on the field were ignited!
After the restart, the green field completely turned into an offensive stage for Real Madrid players!
In the 79th minute, Marcelo sent it on the left side of the penalty area after a wild race, but fortunately, Gaspar's left foot stretched to weaken the power of the football's flight, and the ball was firmly held by Asenjo.
Two minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback, Casemiro sent a long ball in the middle circle, and Carvajal's shot from a tight angle on the right side of the box was narrowly blocked by Asenjo.
In the 84th minute, Real Madrid made another danger in the Villarreal penalty area, Ramos's shot was blocked by Lukavina, and Benzema's follow-up shot finally penetrated Asenjo's ten fingers, but unfortunately the linesman raised the flag to signal offside, and the goal was invalid.
"Whew!" Dai Zhiwei, who was forced to return to the defense, also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the referee's decision.
But alas, he rejoiced too soon!
In stoppage time, Real Madrid launched their final attack, and Carvajal, who was playing at full-back, was almost a winger, and he got the ball straight at the edge of the box and tore through Villarreal's defence like a scalpel.
On the right side of the penalty area, Vazquez sent a cross, and Ramos scored with an unmarked header at the back point, 2:2, Real Madrid equalized!
"Shit!" Dai Zhiwei spat at the ground, partly because he was equalized at the last minute, and partly because it was scored by Ramos, whom he hated the most.
However, he also has to admit that Ramos is really the most bizarre key man in football today - the defender always saves Real Madrid with goals in the last moments.
The Super Cup final is the same as any European club final, with 30 minutes of extra time going on if the score is tied at 90 minutes, and a penalty shoot-out to decide the winner if the game is still tied after extra time.
The two teams went into extra time.
At this stage, both Zidane and Marcelino are very eager to win this game and win this championship.
After all, the game has reached this stage, and if you fight hard, you will win, and no one will give up!
In the first half of extra time, Real Madrid kicked off first.
The confidence was hit by an equaliser in stoppage time and the loss of a near-win in the game, and there is a kind of championship that can only belong to big teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and small clubs like themselves can only participate.
Therefore, Villarreal, who had such a somewhat collapsed mentality, was completely suppressed by the morale-boosting Real Madrid, and was rubbed as soon as extra time came up.
In the first minute of extra time, Real Madrid started its own offensive mode, J Ronaldo split the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and Benzema's right-footed shovel shot in the penalty area hit the ball, but Asenjo in front of the goal concentrated and fell to the ground to get the ball.
In the third minute, Real Madrid broke the ball in front, but Benzema, who had degenerated into a strengthened version of Heskey, hit the defender and bounced off the defender.
The passive defense completely shattered the mentality of the Villarreal defenders, and one minute later, Musacchio received a yellow card for a foul on Vazquez, and two yellows turned into one red and sent off.
Moreover, what makes Marcelino even more helpless is that all three substitutions in his hands have been used up, and Musacchio can only let Bruno retreat to the central defender position to defend after he is gone, so that Villarreal's midfield looks even thinner.
In the 10th minute, Real Madrid's attack came to Villarreal's box again, and Carvajal on the right side of the box sent a cross to the back of the goal, this time it was Cheryshev who broke the ball off the line.
In this game, Cheryshev started playing as a full-back, switched to a winger in the second half, and now becomes a full-back again in extra time.
Helpless!
Marcelo took a tactical corner and Ramos followed up with a header, but the referee signalled for a foul on Ramos – and he threw his marker Cheryshev to the ground with a takedown.
"This guy doesn't have any friendship with his former teammates at all! What is it? Dai Zhiwei also returned to the penalty area just now to participate in the defense, and watched Ramos take Cheryshev down at close range, and his impression of the Real Madrid captain was even worse!
Three minutes later, Real Madrid launched the last attack of the first half of extra time, Benzema sent a through ball over the top from the edge of the penalty area, J Rod hit the goal too right, and was easily confiscated by Asenjo.
Villarreal, who played one less, successfully survived the first half, but unfortunately there were only two or three minutes of extra-time half-time, and Dai Zhiwei almost just sat down to drink two sips of water, and had to stand up again and prepare to continue the game.
In the second half of extra time, Villarreal kicked off.
Dai Zhiwei was still naïve to think about one blow and then three times and exhaustion, but he didn't expect that Real Madrid in the second half of extra time was still wild.
At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid once again took control of the pitch, and the midfielder of Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly picked up a pass forward, and Vazquez burst into the penalty area with a single knife.
This goal is definitely a must if Ronaldo is a goal, but unfortunately Vazquez, who aspires to be the hero of the galaxy, was too nervous, his shot was blocked by Asenjo and touched a defender, and was cleared by Gaspar in front of the goal line.
Three minutes later, substitute Luka Modric crossed from the right, and Ronaldo's cushion angle was too good for Asenjo to do.
In the 21st minute, Modric sent another cross, and it was Vazquez's header that went high above the bottom line.
"Oh! Infernal Affairs! Dai Zhiwei also gave Vazquez a thumbs up, he thought that this situation was normal in the Chinese Super League, and he didn't expect it to happen on a big stage like the European Super Cup.
Many people are complaining that Ronaldo's goal is to eat cake, but many strikers don't even eat the cake that is delivered to their mouths.
The game soon entered the final stage of regular time in the second half of extra time, and the Real Madrid players did not have any chances after attacking a few times, as if they had all accepted the result of the draw, and had put all their minds on the penalty shoot-out, and did not launch any more attacks.
However, in the last 30 seconds of the game, Cheryshev, who won the ball in the midfield, suddenly accelerated, and in the stunned gaze of Modric, he roared quickly.
Dai Zhiwei didn't know when, he had fallen between the two central defenders of Real Madrid, and for a while, the entire Lekendal stadium looked at the two speeding figures.
The players on both sides were aware of what was happening, with Luka Modric frantically chasing back, while Gaspar and Rukavina were quick to cut to the flanks and keep the two wide defenders from coming forward.
Soon Cheryshev faced Casemiro, facing his former teammates who knew the roots, Cheryshev flicked the outside instep, followed by a pick, without delaying any time, and quickly sent the ball to the feet of Dai Zhiwei.
Dai Zhiwei was still fighting for position with Ramos, and after unloading the ball, Dai Zhiwei did not hesitate, followed by a left-footed buckle, dunked the ball from his crotch, and then accelerated sharply.
Ramos, who had invested too much energy in the attack before, was so high that his physical fitness was so bad that he was not Dai Zhiwei's opponent at all, and he was quickly pulled away by Dai Zhiwei like a stake, so he had to eat ashes while desperately watching Dai Zhiwei have burst into the penalty area.
Casilla saw that Dai Zhiwei had come to the front of the penalty area, and he already realized that it was not good, and they were able to attack in front of him in the next ten seconds.
Casilla retreated to the goal line, and Varane immediately abandoned the penalty area to block Dai Zhiwei's shooting angle, Ramos also continued to hit Dai Zhiwei with action behind him, and they knew that at this time, the referee generally did not dare to award a penalty easily.
Under Ramos's interference, Varane had already rushed to 2 meters in front of Dai Zhiwei.
Now is the time!
