Chapter 231: Recognition of the World's Top Players
It was this bizarre "S" arc that deceived Schaefer twice, causing him to slip directly on the goal line, allowing Wu Feng to complete a beautiful free kick that could go down in football history.
And this goal is destined to be the best goal of the game, no previous German Cup game, no goalscorer, can complete such an imaginative goal, it can be said that this is one of the best goals in the history of the German Cup.
Nuremberg's core player, Mintal, stood in his own penalty area, looking at Wu Feng in front of him who was surrounded by a group of Karlsruhe players in the center. His heart was very unwilling, he had done his best in this game, and even had a one-on-one confrontation with Wu Feng on penalties, but all of them ended in his failure.
He clenched his fists, his eyes showed a look of unwillingness, he hadn't given up yet, the whistle of the game hadn't blew, he still had a chance.
Soon the referee stopped Karlsruhe from celebrating, and with one and a half minutes to go, Nuremberg's players were already protesting Karlsruhe's long celebrations.
After another kick-off, Mintar distributed the ball to Banovic and then sprinted forward quickly.
Banovic gets on the ball from Mintal, goes straight to the baseline, and then crosses the ball high and wide. At this time, even another midfielder, Christiansen, rushed up and grabbed the point with Mintal and Vitek.
Although Mintal's body looked thinner, he did not stay outside the penalty area, he relied on his current good fitness and fast feet, and ran to the Karlsruhe penalty area to grab points, he showed a strong fighting spirit.
When Banovic passed the ball, Karlsruhe's box was full of people, all the players ran back to participate in the defense, and after a while, the victory was theirs.
However, Mintal, with his strong strength that is asymmetrical with his body, can still occupy a position steadily, but it is still unrealistic to compete for this header.
So when Mintar saw Banovic pass a high ball, he immediately retreated to the edge of the box to fight for the second point.
The ball was pushed out of the box by Stoll first, but it was Mintal who grabbed the ball. He stopped the ball with his chest, then picked it up, flashed past Bolcello who was on the rise, and immediately followed the trend with a volley.
But the volley with a powerful foot touched Schroeter, who had not yet run out of the box, and then touched Stoll's body and flew out of the bottom line.
The nervous Karlsruhe and Nuremberg fans on the pitch let out an "oh" at the same time, but one was nervous and the other was regretful.
The referee looked at his watch and awarded a corner kick to Nuremberg, and it is estimated that after this corner kick, the German Cup final will be over, and the stoppage time has ended.
Originally, Mintal had always been the main penalty taker of Nuremberg's corner kicks and free kicks, but this time he gave the corner kick opportunity to Banovic, and he wanted to grab the point.
"Mintal hasn't given up at this time, and obviously La still wants to equalize in the last attack! This is the fighting spirit that a real shooter should have, he is a warrior! Come on, come on! Illes yelled.
Banovich's footwork is not bad, and he usually takes set-pieces when Mintar is not on the pitch.
When he stood near the corner flag, he thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to believe Mintal, and he kicked the football directly to the back to find Mintal.
Banovic's high, powerful pass flew over the box and was accurate to the back post.
This time, in order to save time, Mintal raised his foot and swept the football into the box, but there were too many people in the box, and the ball was cleared by Booker to the midfield.
Defender Wolf grabbed the ball and kicked it back to Mintal.
At this time, Becker and the assistant coach both stood up, anxiously shouting to the referee, raising their hands to indicate that the game time was over.
But the referee ignored it, and he wanted to wait for the end of this Nuremberg attack before blowing the whistle.
Mintal was running back when he saw Wolf kick the ball back. He faced the incoming ball, picked up his thigh, and slammed the side of the ball with the outside of his right foot.
At an angle of about 30 degrees from the goal, he directly chose to shoot, and at this time, the players in the penalty area had begun to press outward, and there were no players near the goal three or four meters, and Mintal's shot was so sudden and so fast.
Stoll and the others could only watch the football pass by them and the others, and they couldn't help but be anxious.
But a "bang" sounded, although the football passed through the players who were pressed outside, but did not avoid Wu Feng in front of the goal, he made a quick side pounce to resolve this cold shot.
Immediately after Mintal's shot, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Nuremberg's hopes of lifting the German Cup trophy for the fourth time were shattered, completely shattered by Wu Feng's last-minute goal, and even more so by Wu Feng's impeccable and tenacious save.
At the end of the game, all the players on the Karlsruhe bench rushed onto the pitch and hugged their teammates.
Fans in the stands sang the team anthem loudly over the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
With the sound of the stadium radio, countless Karlsruhe fans sang in unison, reluctant to leave for a long time.
This game, to be honest, was a bit flat. After more than 90 minutes of play, there was only one goal in the end, and it happened in the last minute of the second half, and it was actually a goalkeeper who scored.
However, it was Wu Feng's weird free kick at the last moment that added a heavy touch to this dull game and turned the situation of the whole game around. It added a bit of legend to this originally uneventful game.
At this moment, Wu Feng and Becker were lifted up by the Karlsruhe players and began to throw them into the sky.
"Hey, you bunnies! I'm an old man, I'm afraid of heights! Don't throw it away, be careful I don't let you go! ......" Becker's terrified screams filled the field.
But at the moment, the players ignore it, and if they don't "take revenge" at this time, when will there be this opportunity.
"You're going to be a great player!" After the celebration in Karlsruhe was paused, Mintal approached Wu Feng and offered to show him goodwill.
The game is over, they are no longer opponents, although they lost to such a young goalkeeper, but Mintal has no complaints, the winner is king, and this young man played even better, it can also be said that Wu Feng alone beat the whole Nuremberg.
For the performance of this young youngster, Mintar felt very amazing, just like the Schalke 04 Neuer he met this season, which made him feel so magical.
He felt that he and Wu Feng should be able to become friends, because they were both indomitable fighters who had the courage to face adversity head-on.
So, after the game, he came over and exchanged jerseys with Wu Feng.
"Thank you!" Wu Feng happily exchanged jerseys with Mintal, smiling very brightly, this is his first exchange with the world's top players, Gomez has not fully grown up, not counting for the time being.
