Chapter 730: Cardiff, the Last Distance
Everyone was dumbfounded, more Juventus fans clasped their heads tightly with their hands, and all eyes were on Li Liang, who was kneeling on the turf in front of the Juventus penalty area and raised his arms high.
The game has entered the counting time, and Li Liang's wonderful free kick helped Monaco magically overtake the score.
In 95 minutes, 2:1, Monaco chased the overall score to 3:3!
Both sides were evenly matched on aggregate, with two away goals scored, meaning that 30 minutes of extra time would be inevitable if regulation time were to end with such a scoreline.
Buffon turned around and picked up the ball from the net, kicked it towards the center circle and spread his hands helplessly.
Bonucci clasped his head tightly in his hands, and his expression was incredulous.
He couldn't look directly at Li Liang's defense, thinking of the "goodbye" he said to Li Liang in advance, Bonucci felt extremely remorseful, and he regretted that it was his foul that gave Li Liang a second chance to directly challenge Buffon with a free kick.
Juve's players on the pitch were in a huge dazed, and many did not understand how Monaco's huge advantage had been eroded into the current situation.
Buffon clapped his hands vigorously and yelled at the others: "The game is not over yet, everyone raise your heads!" β
The Monaco players rushed to Li Liang frantically, and soon surrounded him in the middle, everyone knelt beside him and hugged each other tightly with a pair of arms, just like the appearance ceremony in the dressing room before the start of every game.
Monaco, who survived the dead, had already performed miracles, and the entire Juventus Arena was deeply shocked by the emotional goal celebration of the Monaco players.
Li Liang finally got up, he hugged Falcao and Mbappe tightly around him - Bakayoko also squeezed around him - Li Liang shouted loudly: "We are back on Earth again, everyone!
Cardiff is 30 minutes away, are you all ready?! Very good!
Monacoβ"
A majestic roar came from the field: "Forward! β
Allegri angrily kicked the water bottle off the sideline, ignoring the fourth official who had warned him, and roared hysterically.
He couldn't understand what happened to the defensive system he had painstakingly built?!
Yaldim raised his arms high, and the sheer happiness almost made him dizzy.
The assistants and substitutes around him had already rushed into the field, which was a miracle that had only been seen in their lives, and everyone was ecstatic.
Xiaoyu and Talong hugged each other tightly and screamed loudly, and the fans around them all looked sideways.
The commentators and press booths in the stands were all in a mess, and countless languages fiercely described everything that had just happened, and this time, the word that appeared the most was "miracle"!
Lippi excitedly high-fived Gaudino and Lamprah, and he shouted: "It's unbelievable, Lee really did it!" β
Gaudino couldn't help wiping the corners of his eyes excitedly.
Wenger couldn't help but applaud himself in front of the TV, then clenched his fists.
Messi imitated Li Liang's celebratory gestures and couldn't help but smile all over his face.
The moment the ball entered the net, Da Xiong thought that he would roar loudly, but he couldn't help it anymore when the huge emotions surged, recalling the first time he played with Li Liang at the University of Political Science and Law, remembering the scenes in the past, he finally left tears of excitement in front of his teammates.
The surrounding teammates were all high-fived with the big bear, and the sleeping skin was a little frustrated, and then they still got up and hugged the big bear and congratulated: "Zou, you're right!" βγ
The conference room of the Haicheng Hurricane Team was already full of jubilation, and everyone wanted to embrace it passionately, as if they were also participating in this life-and-death battle!
Feng Yihan roared excitedly: "No matter what the result is, Li Liang is the MVP!" β
He Wei and Xue Yang raised their arms and cheered in the studio, and the huge excitement made them forget everything.
It wasn't until the players on both sides in the picture were preparing to kick off again that He Wei reacted: "We witnessed the moment when a miracle was born!"
Now the total rating is 3:3, and if there are no surprises, the game will definitely go to overtime! β
In the picture, Higuain completes the kick-off, and the referee blows the whistle for the end of the game in regulation time before the ball reaches the front.
Xue Yang continued: "Now that full-time regulation time is over, Monaco have also scored two away goals at Juventus' home stadium, so the two sides will be separated in the next 30 minutes of extra time.
If extra-time does not decide who will reach the final, then the two sides will go to a brutal penalty shootout. β
Countless fans in front of the TV and computer monitors silently picked up their phones, rechecked their wake-up alarm clocks, and then lit a cigarette, or refilled their teacups with boiling water, or made another cup of coffee.
β¦β¦
There was a five-minute break before extra time.
The battle-hardened Juventus players gradually calmed down, and captain Gianluigi Buffon applauded loudly and encouraged his teammates: "
We lost to Barcelona two years ago [in the Champions League final] and we have been persevering for two years to get back on the final pitch of the Champions League!
There are still 30 minutes left and I need each of you to be your true selves!
This is God's test for us, and defeating Monaco is the best answer to our test! β
Allegri then began to move violently and quickly set up his tactics, several of the veteran players were lying on the ground receiving emergency massages, and everyone had almost exhausted all their energy in the game that had just ended.
On Monaco's side, Jardim decided to bring on Silva to replace Falcao, who was already on the verge of collapse.
After arranging the substitution, he came to Li Liang, who was lying on the ground and was massaging: "Li, how is it?" β
Li Liang turned his head sideways: "Leonardo......
I think I should be able to hold on! β
Extra-time is about to begin, and the entire Juventus Arena is in a completely different atmosphere than it was before the start of the game.
The huge advantage is gone, the home fans are getting nervous, and the visiting fans are getting louder and louder.
Juventus fans watched in awe as Li Liang gathered his teammates together in a circle, "Monaco! Advance! The roar reached every corner of the stadium.
Juve, who had already used up their three substitutions, re-set up their positions, with Mandzukic Gouaj and Cuadrado up front, and Alex Sandro and Alves once again pushed into midfield.
Allegri reverted to the three-centre-back system, and he already saw that it was unlikely to limit the in-form Monaco attacking line by defending alone, so he continued to adopt the strategy of pushing the defence forward, determined to settle the battle in extra-time with a stronger 343 formation.
Despite having Gianluigi Buffon, Allegri has realised that the longer the game drags on, the worse it will be for Juve.
The scales have tipped dramatically, and Monaco, who are looking to regain the light of day in the final, are clearly getting higher in morale and have a more obvious psychological advantage.
Jardim's patience was finally rewarded, as his third substitution compared to Juventus gave Monaco more tactical options.
Silva was deployed on the right side of midfield, Mbappe on the left, Germain up front, Moutinho retreated to a midfield position, Mendy continued to play at left-back, Raj played at right-back, and reverted to a back four at the back.
Yaldim readjusted the formation to 4231, which Li Liang was most accustomed to.
A whistle blew and the first half of extra time officially began.
