Chapter 319: Bright Flowers

Five minutes later, the score was still 3-2, with Barcelona leading and Hoffenheim behind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Barcelona clearly had the upper hand in possession during this period, and as soon as the football fell to their feet, Hoffenheim could hardly snatch it back, and they could only count on them to complete an attack and give up the ball.

But even if they get possession in this way, Barcelona has already returned to the defense, and Hoffenheim has to reorganize the attack and advance from the back layer by layer, which is not ordinary. It's desperate to look at Barcelona's tight defense, with all three lines tight and neat, and then think about the situation on their own side.

If the game is allowed to go on like this, let alone five minutes left, even if Hoffenheim are given another 50 minutes, they may not be able to score. As it stands, Barcelona want the clock to end sooner rather than later, and Hoffenheim don't have the stamina to do any longer, so the winner will have to be decided within five minutes.

There are several ways to break the deadlock, such as set-pieces. But Barcelona are now firmly in control of the situation, Hoffenheim attack the front court and the opponent does not need to foul to defend, so Salihovic has little use.

Chu Zhongtian felt that if he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to adopt the method they insisted on before - to fight back after forcing and then to catch Barcelona off guard.

But this requires the cooperation of the whole team, and with the current physical condition of the team, even if they can force it down, I am afraid that they will not have the strength to rush up and play a quick counterattack...... Now the team is in better physical condition, in addition to himself, there are two teammates who have just been replaced, one is substitute goalkeeper Haas, and the other is Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Haas is a goalkeeper, and no matter how physical he is, he can't be involved in the full-court pressing, and at the same time, he can quickly move forward to help the attack.

The only one who has the stamina to keep up with his own rhythm is Van Nistelrooy.

What about defense?

Still can't give up, even if the opponent passes the football fast and then walks, he has to find a way to break the ball.

※※※ He Ping was a little silent, and he couldn't think of how to remain optimistic. If Hoffenheim had really lost this game, he might have been able to say all that cliché commentary. What "although defeated", what "life is so cruel, but don't give up, don't be depressed......", what "the Champions League runner-up is also very good"...... Wait a minute.

He took the time to look at the other stands, where the Barcelona fans were already starting to celebrate the victory in advance. They all got up from their seats, waving their arms and singing the Barcelona anthem. "Barcelona! Barcelona! The shouts resounded over Wembley Stadium.

It caused the breath of all who heard the roar to stagnate.

Listen, listen, this is the triumphant song of the Barcelona fans!

In contrast, most of the Hoffenheim fans have fallen silent, sitting listlessly in their chairs, seemingly having come to terms with the reality that no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to beat Barcelona and lift the title.

Perhaps for them, reaching the Champions League final for the first time and wanting to win it would have been a luxury.

But is it really willing?

Is the Champions League final said that you can score it when you can get it? We finally reached a Champions League final, we performed very well in the game, we led Barcelona twice, we have the quality to play against the best team in the world, why can't we dream and dream of the Champions League?

Why?

Why can the championship only belong to those strong teams?

The Hoffenheim fans sat in such a conflicted and painful mood, not knowing what to do.

He Ping retracted his gaze, and he continued to explain the game. At this time, his mind suddenly calmed down, no matter what the final result of the game was, he was first and foremost a commentator, and he was sent all the way to London by the station not only to satisfy his hero-worship complex, but also to give a wonderful football game commentary to the Chinese TV audience thousands of miles away - even if the game was not exciting at all in the last few minutes.

'Barcelona are still in possession, they show great possession and a good pass...... Xavi passes to Andres Iniesta...... Andres Iniesta...... Butzkes ...... Mascherano ...... Puyol...... Piqué ...... They fell to ...... backfield," He Ping said helplessly. "The giants Barcelona looked hesitant and didn't dare to attack when facing a country team!" He's still a little upset about Hoffenheim.

※※※ Barcelona did fall in the backfield, although they were ahead, although they had one more person than Hoffenheim, but in the game with less than five minutes left, they still did not choose to risk attacking, did not adhere to the creed of "life is endless, attack is not stopped", did not play an attack that pleasing the fans, more often they just fell in the middle and back, and finally hit the front, once the opponent showed a little toughness in the defense, it quickly retracted like frightened tentacles.

It seems that their approach is not quite in line with the style of a proud team. But against Hoffenheim, they would rather leave their dignity behind than secure victory. They were reluctant to bury their victory at the last minute of the game.

This also shows that they do treat Hoffenheim as a very, very dangerous opponent. If they were against Real Madrid and the score was 3-2, they would have done the same.

"I wish they looked down on us and attacked us......" Fritz in the stands. Abel muttered. Hoffenheim does not lack the respect of their opponents, they do not rarely the sympathy of others, they want the championship, even if it is stolen, they want this championship.

※※※ Barcelona fell to the back for a while, Ibisevic and Ruud van Nistelrooy pressed, but what role can the two of them play? In addition, Ibisevic's physical strength has been exhausted, and he can barely run, only half of it. And Barcelona were back and forth in front of a half-player Hoffenheim players, as easily as they were monkeys in training.

The neutral fans in the stands were gone, and they came to see the final in the name of Barcelona, not to see Barcelona so unmotivated in the game. Conversely, Hoffenheim, who led Barcelona twice in the game until they were sent off, were backed by them. The neutral fans, who had been applauding the Barcelona stars in previous matches, now applauded every Hoffenheim player who was still running, and booed them to the Barcelona players who kept falling to their feet.

The boos began to sound from the Wimbledon fans. Boss John couldn't accept Barcelona's shameless delay in the game, they used boos, middle fingers and swear words to express their dissatisfaction, and soon their emotions were contagious, centered on them, and this boo caused ripples in the stands.

A number of Hoffenheim fans then joined in, and every time the Barcelona players got the ball, the boos increased suddenly.

The Barcelona players also hesitated in the midst of such boos - we are Barcelona! What reason do we have to be so worried about being afraid of a team with one man less than us and one goal behind?

A one-goal lead is the least secure! Only one more goal before the end of the game can completely crush them and make this game out of suspense. Isn't it the best course of action to score goals if you want to be safe?

So, we have to attack!

Piquet handed the football to Butzkes and yelled at him, "Onward!" Forward! Don't send it back! ”

The proud Barcelona players finally can't hold back such boos and disdain, they want to prove with practical actions that they are still the noble giants, and they still represent the most beautiful, purest and most appreciated football in the world!

Butzques made a feint to pass back, then suddenly stumbled and spun and wiped Ibisevic through. Then he took the ball forward, and Chu Zhongtian greeted him.

Looking at the opponent in front of him, Butzques had to admit that he didn't beat him in the game, but fortunately his team beat his team. He's good, but who made him choose to stay in the middle of a weak team?

He wasn't stupid enough to let the opponent pounce on him to break his ball, after nearly ninety minutes of competition, he already knew how powerful Chu Zhongtian was in one-on-one defense. Except for the beginning of the game, after Messi won him a few times, Messi has not successfully passed him in one-on-one until now. Butzques knows that he doesn't have the skills of Messi, so he won't waste time here. And the most important thing is that Barcelona needs to score goals now, not when they find the field from Chu Zhongtian, which is more important, and his strong back-back is very clear.

He passed the ball directly to Xavi in front.

Chu Zhongtian, who was in front of him, turned around with the football and chased back.

He shook his head, what a fool, no matter how fast you can run, how fast you can run, can you still run a football? When you're finally able to catch up with Xavi, he just needs to pass the ball to the next teammate who picks it up, and all your hard work has been in vain, and you're a joke, like a monkey being played around by us...... Does it make sense to do that?

※※※ Chu Zhongtian looked at the back in front of him, wearing Barcelona's No. 6 jersey.

In such a tense and fierce competition, the first memories suddenly flashed in his heart.

When he was still an international student, he once again participated in the Sino-British international student football friendly match organized by his roommate Yang Yang.

In the final moments of the game, it was also the same situation - the opponent was in front and he was chasing behind. But I can't catch up, because I only have one person, but the other party is two people, and the other two people easily play with themselves, shaking themselves to the ground, and they can't catch up with them despite their best efforts, so they can only watch the other party hit the football into the goal.

This is the beginning of all the stories, he met Emily after this game, and he also met Gavin, who played him all over in the first place. Borger, Ale. Russell, and the people who got to know the "Crazy Gang...... Without these people, we would not be where we are today.

How is that day like now? No, it's not the same.

On that day, I was fighting alone. In the last minute of the game, he was the only one on the field who was still running hard, hoping to break the ball to play a successful counterattack and score a face-saving goal for the Chinese students who fell behind 0:4.

What now? He has a group of brothers, some of whom have not given up, even if they can't run anymore, they are gritting their teeth and persevering.

Last time, he didn't succeed, this time...... Failure is never allowed!

Xavi turned to catch the ball, and he saw Chu Zhongtian. He also knew that this was a dangerous person, especially at this time, he still maintained his abundant physical strength, and he pounced on it and immediately turned around and pounced back without pausing, which showed how good his physical strength was.

Such a dangerous character, of course, should be kept away as much as possible.

Harvey didn't plan to wait for Chu Zhongtian to pounce on him and entangle him again, he immediately passed the football out.

He passed to Iniesta.

Then run forward and wait for Andres Iniesta to pass the ball again.

But Iniesta didn't pass the ball because he was entangled!

Sana gritted his teeth, pulled Iniesta's jersey in his hand, and his body was attached to Iniesta's body at a somewhat strange angle, so that he really didn't have time to pass the football horse. However, it is also a bit difficult for him to break the ball, Iniesta is not a vegetarian, and his ball control skills are quite good.

Chu Zhongtian knew that Sana would not be able to entangle Iniesta for long, and he was returning to the defense, and he suddenly accelerated to change direction and rushed towards Iniesta from behind.

Xavi turned his attention to Chu Zhongtian, who is now Hoffenheim's most dangerous player. However, from this side, he didn't see Chu Zhongtian, so he turned his head, and he saw Chu Zhongtian pounce on Iniesta from his other side.

"Andres!!" Xavi shouted, reminding Iniesta to pay attention to Chu Zhongtian.

Iniesta heard Harvey's shout, and he quickly turned his head to look for Chu Zhongtian.

This made him neglect to deal with Sana beside him.

Taking advantage of his distraction to find Chu Zhongtian, Sana suddenly got down and stabbed the football out from under his feet!

Break the ball!

Iniesta reacted the moment he lost the ball, he jammed Sana to prevent him from receiving the ball, and was about to regain possession, but of course he still didn't forget to glance at Chu Zhongtian out of the corner of his eye.

He cared so much about Chu Zhongtian that he completely ignored the other Hoffenheim players around him. After Sana poked the ball out, the centre-back Simunic, who had been in the back, slammed forward and stabbed the ball forward before Andres Iniesta could regain control of the ball...... Football is completely out of Iniesta's control.

Simunich, of course, was not the end of the panic, he noticed Chu Zhongtian before he acted, and this stab happened to pass the football to Chu Zhongtian!

By the way, the biggest difference between today's story and the beginning story is that I have a group of teammates who can be trusted and trusted!

Chu Zhongtian turned around, received the ball passed to him by Simunic, and then took it forward. The opportunity he had been waiting for a long time to directly break the ball and counterattack finally came!

If he doesn't take this opportunity, then he doesn't deserve the title, he has lived up to the expectations of his teammates and fans!

"Huh? Eh! Opportunity!! He Ping, who was originally listless, suddenly became excited, and in the early morning of nearly five o'clock, his roar woke up many people.

Those who were planning to turn off the TV early to go to bed were so frightened that their hands shook and stopped in front of the switch.

On the TV screen, Chu Zhongtian turned around with the ball and went forward to kill.

In front of him were two teammates, Ibisevic and Van Nistelrooy.

Behind him was Salihovic.

Hoffenheim's fast break this round is not at the same level as the fast break they showed before, and it looks a bit miserable.

But this did not affect the speed at which Chu Zhongtian rushed forward.

He rushed to Butzkes with the football. Salihovic chased after him desperately, so that he could get closer to Chu Zhongtian, so that he could help when he needed support. When Chu Zhongtian first came to this team, he would never have such an idea. I didn't expect that there would be such a day when I dared to be a green leaf...... He was running when he saw Chu Zhongtian pass the football backwards, and then flashed to the right.

Salihovich saw Butzkes in front.

He didn't stop the ball, nor did he continue to dribble the ball, he directly sent the football to Chu Zhongtian's side.

Butzkes turned around and went to pounce on Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian passed the football sideways again, Salihovic ran forward, received the football, there was no one in front of him, Mascherano was on the other side, and he couldn't reach him within a few steps.

Salihovic didn't pass the ball back to Chu Zhongtian this time, because he is now caught between the two central midfielders of Buzques and Mascherano.

Salihovic gave the football directly to Ibisevic in front.

"Hoffenheim's counterattack! Although the game has reached the 88th minute, their speed is still very fast, and the counterattack is still sharp!! The German commentator shouted excitedly. Familiar with Hoffenheim, he knows how threatening such a counterattack can be.

Ibisevic turned his back to the direction of the attack, did not hesitate, and directly returned the football to Chu Zhongtian, who was inserted.

With Salihovic and Ibisevic, Butzques and Mascherano all having their attention drawn to the past, Chu Zhongtian found a gap to receive the ball.

But he didn't have much time to hold the ball, not even to take a shot from the round, Mascherano was right next to him, watched the ball being passed and turned to block it.

Chu Zhongtian didn't stop the ball, and directly stuffed the football to Van Nistelrooy in front!

"Van Nistelrooy ——!!" In the shouts of the commentator, the Dutch veteran turned to let the ball go, then kicked his leg hard and stepped forward, caught up with the ball, and shot with his foot!!

If nothing else, this will be Hoffenheim's last chance to score, and if you go in, Hoffenheim will survive, and if you don't, Hoffenheim will be finished. All eyes were on the ball that was speeding forward.

They saw the ball fly into the far corner of the goal, and they saw Valdés pounce on the ball.

"He blocked it!!" The Catalan narrator shouted frantically.

Just half a second ago, the ball hit Valdés' toe and bounced!

"Barcelona!!" The Barcelona fans in the stands cheered.

"The offensive isn't over yet!!" It was the German commentator who shouted this, and he saw that the football was blocked by Valdés, but instead of flying to the bottom line, it flew directly to the outside of the penalty area.

"Chance!!" He Ping raised his arms high and clenched his hands into fists.

When Chu Zhongtian saw Valdés block the football, he suddenly found in his mind where the football would eventually fall, so he ran there before everyone else.

A second later, the ball fell in front of him, and by his side, there was only one Barcelona captain, Puyol!

Puyol's eyes fell with the football, only to find that Chu Zhongtian was in front of him, he hurriedly leaned up, wanting to squeeze Chu Zhongtian with his body, interfere with him, and prevent him from shooting normally.

Chu Zhongtian didn't care so much, at this time, he didn't have Puyol in his eyes at all, except for football and goals, he couldn't see anything.

This goal must be scored, this goal must be scored, this goal must be scored...... I enter by all means!

With his mind in mind the "secret" of playing at Wimbledon, he flicked his right leg.

Puyol crashed up from the other side, and at that moment, the ball was shot out by Chu Zhongtian.

As soon as Valdés got up from the ground, he saw the football flying towards him, and he reflexively raised his hands and made a "block" movement.

Almost at the same time, the ball hit the tip of his finger and flew off again.

But this time, instead of going back the same way, he jumped and hit the net above!

By the time the ball met resistance and fell, it was already behind Valdés...... Wembley Stadium has witnessed countless wonders and glories, but today is definitely the most special!

"Incredible...... Hoffenheim equalised! 3:3!! ”
