Chapter 156: After the game

After the restart, Barcelona tried to attack twice and were defended by Liverpool, and the two teams began to accept the result of the penalty shoot-out, and everything was up to God.

Liverpool were awarded a free-kick in front of the sideline when the fourth official played two minutes of extra time, but it was not in a good position, just on the edge of the box, which had just been fouled by Yaya Toure to block Gerrard's long-range shot.

This kind of free kick is too close, and it is not easy for the opponent to hit the door directly on the wall in a row, and there is not enough space for the football to fall after kicking it around the human wall, so it becomes an anti-aircraft gun.

The best way to take this kind of free kick is to let the player with strong legs kick it, and blast it directly at the human wall, and if you are lucky enough to break through the human wall, you may be able to catch the opposing goalkeeper off guard, but how can it be so easy to break through the human wall.

Several Liverpool players got together for a few moments to discuss, and eventually Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso stood in front of the ball, with Liu Ting and Torres lined up in the opposition wall, apparently to interfere with the opposition wall defence.

This gave the Barcelona players a hint that Liverpool wanted to use the method of penetrating the wall, and it seems that this is also the best option for Liverpool.

Gerrard and Xavi Alonso stood in front of the ball, both of them had a powerful long-range shot, although Gerrard was more likely to take the penalty, but Barcelona were not too sure, Liu Ting and the two of them stood in the Barcelona wall, Liu Ting and Ketapeake stood next to each other.

The referee blew the whistle, Xavi Alonso ran first and then jumped over from the ball, followed by Gerrard, but it was a gentle push of the ball, Barcelona's human walls were stunned by this, and then saw the direction of the ball, secretly screamed in his heart, and turned his head to look at the right side of the human wall.

Liu Ting was originally standing in the human wall, but the moment Gerrard pushed the ball, he quickly stepped back and bypassed the human wall to the left side of the human wall, and Barcelona's defense was caught off guard at this moment, although someone immediately reacted and rushed to Liu Ting to stop him, but he was a step late, Liu Ting ran to the left side of the human wall to stop the ball with his left foot and hit the goal with his right foot, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés flew to save the ball too late, and watched the ball fly into the goal.

“Gooooooooal!!! Pretty! Beautiful free-kick tactics! Liu! He killed Barcelona! Liverpool's sixth Champions League title is on the horizon! Alan Hansen's excited roar rang out again.

This free kick made the fans of the whole stadium, whether it was Liverpool fans, Barcelona fans or neutral fans, and then the referee blew the whistle for the goal, which reminded everyone that the whole stadium immediately boiled, Liverpool fans were cheering, neutral fans were applauding, most of the Barcelona fans were boosing, and a small number were still stunned.

Zhan Jun said: "This is a free kick match that imitates Argentina in the 98 World Cup Anglo-Argentine war, if such a match is successful, it is difficult for the opponent to defend, Liverpool took advantage of this success to overtake the score, and now the score has become 4:3, leaving little time for Barcelona." ”

This free-kick tactic was proposed by Liu Ting to Gerrard, and it perfectly replicated the classic goal of England and Argentina in the 98 World Cup, Argentina relied on a free kick that can go down in history to equalize in stoppage time in the first half, Beckham was sent off in the second half, and Argentina eliminated England in the final penalty shootout.

In that game, England and Argentina drew 2-2 and were eliminated on penalties, Beckham became the guilty of the loss for a long time, and Owen made a little goal by Alan Schiller, and then scored another goal to overtake the score, Owen was considered to be famous in the first game.

And this time the free kick cooperated, Liu Ting became the hero, this is a goal in stoppage time, a killer goal.

At that time, Gerrard took a free kick, which seemed to shoot but went straight to the left side of the human wall, Liu Ting took advantage of the opponent's reaction to quickly bypass the human wall to receive the ball there and hit the goal immediately, and successfully scored before the opponent reacted, Liu Ting's skilled basic skills helped him a lot.

Liu Ting's proposal to imitate the free kick was recognized by everyone, and Liu Ting also volunteered to be the one who shot the goal, and he finally seized this opportunity and became the hero of the team.

Liu Ting and the whole Liverpool team celebrated excitedly on the sidelines, some of the Barcelona players were extremely disappointed, they knew what the goal would mean at this time, and some of the Barcelona players kept signaling to the referee, asking the referee to call the Liverpool players back to start the game immediately, and they still had a chance before the game was over, although only God knows how big this chance is.

Soon the Swiss referee called the Liverpool players back to restart the game, but the two minutes of injury time in the game were basically over, and the referee had to give Barcelona a little time to attack.

Barcelona had more than a minute to play and they had two attacks, but Liverpool, who were defending in the final minute, did not give them a chance, and in the end Liverpool waited for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game.

It is worth mentioning that in the last moments, Heynckes used Liverpool's last substitution, Zheng Zhi got the opportunity to play, he came on to replace Torres, all to stall for time, but for Chinese fans, this is the first Chinese to play in the Champions League final, and will soon become the first Chinese to win the Champions League.

When the whistle sounded, the whole Liverpool team immediately cheered and celebrated, and Liu Ting also ran with everyone to celebrate, and when he ran to the sidelines, he took off his jersey and threw it to the fans in the stands, which is Liu Ting's habitual celebration action.

The Liverpool players who rushed to the sidelines celebrated, and then, for some reason, who proposed first, everyone rushed over to lift Heynckes up and throw it high in celebration.

The cheers of Liverpool fans were also heard from the stands.

"Champion...... We are the champions! ”

"Champion...... We are the champions! ”

The celebration is almost the same, and everyone has to prepare for the next press interview and awards, etc., Liu Ting found that the Barcelona players were walking back to the locker room in disappointment, Liu Ting walked towards a Barcelona player with his head down, hugged him gently and said: "Leo, don't be discouraged, you still have a chance next time." ”

Liu Ting's comfort is naturally Messi, and the two are also familiar with each other, the key is that he won the game, so he will not be stingy with comforting words.

Liverpool celebrated, and began to be interviewed by reporters on the sidelines, even the team's fringe players will be interviewed by reporters, such as Zheng Zhi was surrounded by a group of Asian reporters, and Liu Ting, the team's main player and killer, naturally became one of the most popular figures among reporters.

Liu Ting was also familiar with the reporter, and said naturally: "Win the championship? I think that's a big wish for all professional footballers and I'm very happy to have won such an important title in the second year of my career. ”

"Lore Ball! Of course I'm very happy to score the winner, to be able to play against opponents in a game like the Champions League final, which is something I only dreamed of before, every kid who loves football has such a dream, in a crucial game, to kill the opponent in the last minutes of the game and become the hero of the goal, I didn't expect it to come true now. ”

"Revenge? It's not revenge, I've always been grateful to Barcelona for nurturing me, but I didn't get a place there and had to leave, I didn't have a conflict with Barcelona. ”

After being interviewed by reporters on the sidelines for a while, Liu Ting followed the whole Liverpool team back to the dressing room, changed into the championship jersey prepared in advance and went out to receive the award.

Every team that reaches the Champions League final will have a special winning shirt prepared in advance, but only one team can always use the preparation, and the other team can only keep the winning shirt at the bottom of the box.

In the locker room, everyone had another champagne battle, and it took a while to change their jerseys and return to the field to prepare for the final award ceremony after being reminded by the on-site staff.

First, the Barcelona player with a bitter face came to the stage and reluctantly took the silver medal. Of course, the Barcelona players were not reconciled, they thought they had played a good game, but in the last 5 minutes Liverpool scored two goals in succession, one was their own mistake, the other was a free kick with a little luck, and Barcelona was very unwilling to lose this game.

After Barcelona received the silver medal and stepped down, then the whole Liverpool team, which won the championship and won the championship gold medal, came to the stage to receive the award, and UEFA President Michel Platini took the stage to present the award, and he brought a group of European celebrities to the scene to present the award to the Liverpool players one by one.

Liverpool is the first to go is Heynckes, followed by Gerard Torres and Liu Ting, which also directly reflects the status and fame of various players in the Liverpool team.

Platini presented Liu Ting with the award: "Congratulations, you are the European champion for two years in a row. ”

Liu Ting won the UEFA Cup in Bordeaux last year and the Champions League this year, which is indeed the European champion for two consecutive years.

When Liu Ting and Prince Albert of Monaco embraced, Albert said: "Congratulations, Liu! You became the first Monegasque to win the Champions League, and we have some people in Monaco who have won the Champions League. ”

Monaco is the only professional player in Monaco because of the small number of people and most of them are rich immigrants, and even professional players rarely appear, only in the early years of the lower leagues of professional players, now Liu Ting is the only professional player in Monaco, and now he has become the first Monegasque to win the Champions League.

Then Prince Pierre of Monaco also said: "Liu, I am here to invite you to join our Monaco national team. ”

Monaco's royal family has always been football lovers, and in the 03/04 season, Monaco reached the Champions League final, when he was not yet a prince, but Albert, the prince of Monaco, also went to watch the final in person, but Monaco lost 0:3 to Porto.

The Monaco national team was formed by Albert, but it has not been recognized by UEFA.

Let's take a look at who are in the Monaco national team? Some are casino dealers in Monaco, some are palace guards in Monaco, and helicopter pilots, there are all of them, but none of them are professional players, and they have to notify each other in advance to arrange a time even if the team wants to play, no wonder UEFA has not recognized the status of the Monaco national team, so the Monaco national team cannot participate in competitions such as the European Cup, and has been able to go around to find some weak teams to play casually.

Liu Ting was noncommittal about Pierre's invitation.

Everyone hung up the gold medals, and then it was time to raise the glass, with Gerard Torres and Liu Ting standing in the middle to raise the flag and big ears cup together, and the whole stadium was cheered by Liverpool fans.

"Champion...... We are the champions! ”
