Substitute goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei slowly ran in the direction of his own goal, looking without the slightest timidity, and every member of Valencia's team subconsciously walked towards the young Wang Xiaolei, especially Ailuo, who was both excited and worried.

I am excited that Wang Xiaolei can appear in the semifinals of the Champions League, and I am worried that Wang Xiaolei will cause a great psychological burden on himself when he comes off the bench in such a critical game, and losing the goal is a trivial matter, and Iroh is most worried that it will affect Wang Xiaolei's entire career.

"Little Lei, don't have any burden, you know?"

Ailuo was the fastest, and he put his arm around Wang Xiaolei's shoulders directly, and said as he walked.

What Ai Luo didn't expect was that Wang Xiaolei's mentality was very good, but he smiled and comforted Ai Luo, "Brother Ai, don't worry, I know, I will definitely save the ball, and then you will wait to fight back!" ”

Wang Xiaolei's tone was so firm that Ai Luo was stunned when he heard it, and he always felt that this scene was a bit familiar.

By the way, that was two years ago......

By the time Ai Luo reacted, Wang Xiaolei had already jogged to the line of the big forbidden area, and he suddenly stopped and shouted at Ai Luo in Chinese, "Brother Ai, stand in a good position and wait for my hand to throw the ball!" ”

This......

Although Ailuo knew that Wang Xiaolei had little chance of saving a penalty, at this time he could only choose to believe in his junior brother, at least let him know that he believed that he could save the ball.

Perhaps, there are also unexpected gains!

Wang Xiaolei came off the bench in such a heavy Champions League semi-final, even if he has a big heart that is not afraid of heaven and earth, there will be times when he is nervous, you must know that this is without any psychological preparation, and when you think of the hundreds of millions of Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV at this moment, it is even more nervous.

But Canizares, who was sent off, walked up to Wang Xiaolei and said something to calm him down, or rather, Canizares was not a speech, but a short story, a little story about Iello growing from a nobody in the youth team to the number one star in the Valencia team.

"If Ai was able to come off the bench to score a hat-trick in the first game against Real Madrid, why couldn't you, the most compatriot, save the penalty?"

Wang Xiaolei walked to the goal line, while thinking about what Canizares said, his fighting spirit burned to the extreme, and his right fist was subconsciously clenched.

Even at this time, the countless boos and foul insults from the home team's KOP stands behind the goal did not make Wang Xiaolei feel a trace of nervousness, and under his immature appearance, he has a heart to grow into a world-class goalkeeper!

※※※

At this moment, the Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV were secretly sweating for Wang Xiaolei at this time, and learned in Huang Jianxiang's introduction that he was too young, only 18 years and 112 days old, and he was still the youngest goalkeeper in the semi-finals of the Champions League ever......

At the same time, the commentator in the Anfield stadium live studio temporarily took out the materials prepared before the game and read them.

"The substitute goalkeeper is Wang from China, according to the age given in the information is 18 years and 112 days, if I remember correctly, he is the youngest goalkeeper in the semi-finals in the history of the Champions League, but a little bit to give you a little science popularization of the young Chinese goalkeeper Jù, 1.89 meters tall, 78 kilograms, once won the best goalkeeper in the 2005 U17 World Youth Championship in Peru, And then there was the fact that at the beginning of the season he was the main goalkeeper for 12 La Liga games in Valencia B......"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said according to the information in his hand and the knowledge in his head.

Liverpool TV's Kenny Dalglish looked at Wang Xiaolei who was slowly walking towards the goal, and smiled weirdly: "What can a Chinese player who is 18 years old and 112 days old do?" Ha ha...... By the time Xavi Alonso's penalty goes into the net, I'm sure the little guy will be on the back and it's not out of the question that a big win at home is out of the question! Like the damn Manchester United swept Roma in the quarter-finals......"

Kenny Dalglish is excited when he thinks of this, you Manchester United can sweep Roma in the quarter-finals, and we can sweep Valencia in the semi-finals!

After all, our Liverpool is much stronger than Manchester United, who suffered a plane crash!!

And Hyde, the leading commentator of Valencia No. 1 Sports Channel, was in a very relaxed mood, looking at Wang Xiaolei in the camera, he said very easily: "Do you remember two years ago? At the same time, at the Santiago Bernabeu, Ai was also 18 years old and came on as a substitute at the time, but who would have thought that he would be able to score a hat-trick there? Then the voice changed, "So at this moment, who can pack the ticket to substitute Wang will not save the ball?" ”

That's right! Why not save the ball?

After hearing Hyde's explanation, the local fans sitting in front of the TV supporting Valencia instantly became cheerful, if Ai can create a miracle at the Bernabeu Stadium, why can't the same young Wang create a miracle at Anfield?

※※※

Wang Xiaolei walked to the goal line, Xavi Alonso just placed the ball at the 12-yard penalty spot, he didn't even look at the immature Wang Xiaolei, for the 18-year-old young goalkeeper, he has at least a hundred ways to shoot the ball into easily.

Xavi Alonso doesn't think that in such a top-class Champions League semi-final, such a young goalkeeper will withstand the pressure and make accurate judgments, and then he only needs a change of pace to shake him down completely.

As for whether it will leave a lifelong shadow on the 18-year-old Wang Xiaolei, that is not something he should consider, after all, this is professional football, and professional football is the survival of the fittest, there is no outstanding psychological element, let's go home and practice table tennis again......

I don't know if the referee was disturbed by his own feelings, but when Wang Xiaolei was standing on the goal line, he walked to Wang Xiaolei and greeted him with concern, "are-you-ready?" ”

Wang Xiaolei only learned Spanish in Spain, and he couldn't understand English or anything, but he saw the referee's concerned expression, so he grinned and responded to the referee with a thumbs up: "OK!" ”

The referee was slightly stunned when he saw Wang Xiaolei's gesture: This young man is not simple!

※※※

"It seems that Wang Xiaolei's state adjustment is very good, his first Champions League game can face the referee with a smile, this is a good signal, suddenly there is a hunch, Wang Xiaolei is likely to save this penalty, I believe you still remember the 2004-2005 Champions League final in Xavi Alonso's penalty, right? He didn't hit directly, he scored from the rebound, so ......"

Fans heard Huang Jianxiang's commentary, and suddenly they had new expectations for Wang Xiaolei to save the penalty!

Wang Xiaolei's calm appearance was just captured by the director of the stadium, so the home team fans in the stands were very unhappy! They immediately let out an overwhelming boo.

Beep――

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle after confirming that both players had withdrawn from the penalty area.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaolei's immature smile retracted and became very determined, and his eyes became staring at Harvey Alonso like a wolf looking for food.

Xavi Alonso, who was running, originally wanted to take advantage of the change in rhythm to make a time difference, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Xiaolei's eyes became so sharp, as if they had invaded his soul.

However, having experienced such a big scene as the Champions League final, he left his distractions behind in the flash, but he forgot about the routine of taking advantage of the change in rhythm to take penalties......

Xavi Alonso kicks the ball straight into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Under normal circumstances, the goalkeeper would choose to pounce on his bottom right corner, and the angle of the bottom left corner was naturally ignored, and he firmly believed that this would certainly be the case with the young goalkeeper who is only 18 years old.

Wang Xiaolei lowered his body's center of gravity in the process of Xavi Alonso's run, his arms naturally opened, and the whole person was like a spring compressed to the extreme, and at the same time Xavi Alonso shot, the whole person was as agile and fast as a cheetah, and pounced on his lower left corner.

※※※

"The referee blew the whistle and Xavi Alonso started running! Which direction will he kick to? Left or right? Will Wang Xiaolei pounce? Huang Jianxiang's whole body was tense, and after half a second, his voice changed from rapid to loud, and the whole person stood up violently from the seat in the studio at the same time as Wang Xiaolei reacted, and shouted: "Pounce out!" Pounced out!! ”

At the same time, the home fans in the KOP stands behind the goal were full of incredulity, holding their heads in their hands and pulling their hair, not because the football was saved, but because they ...... Wang Xiaolei's hands sucked the football in his hands like magnets, and did not give the home team any chance to make up shots!

Everyone expected Wang Xiaolei to wait for his teammates to come up and hug and celebrate, which could have had a positive impact on the future of his career for an 18-year-old who saved a crucial penalty in a heavy game like the Champions League semi-final.

But Wang Xiaolei's next action didn't even happen to his teammates, he directly pushed the captains of the field who wanted to celebrate, Baraja and Moretti, with his left hand, and then ran and threw the ball far away with his right arm.

"Back to the defense!!"

While the Liverpool players were still in the midst of a penalty miss, Gerrard turned his head and suddenly shouted, and a chain reaction ensued across the pitch.

Shhh

The main stand was the first to burst into boos, and then spread to the entire stadium, because Wang Xiaolei's ball was thrown directly to Iro, who found a gap on the left flank!

Iroh didn't have time to surprise, because the football was close at hand, and Mascherano, who was dragging the team back to protect him, also ran over, apparently trying to block the foul with a foul.

PS: Ask for a ticket!!
