Chapter 187: Death (II)
In the first minute of stoppage time, no one expected that Atletico Madrid, who had been blocking Arsenal's crazy attacks, would make a fatal mistake at the last moment.
The crowd was already standing, cheering and waiting for the final three minutes to pass as they returned to the last four of the Champions League after almost four decades.
In the midst of anticipation and waiting, Arsenal's attack again was firmly held by Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. In order to delay the game and give his team-mate some respite, Courtois did not take the goal kick for a long time, and the referee showed him a yellow card directly.
Courtois, who had been warned, finally took the ball in goal, and instead of slotting it up front, he kicked it to the left flank, not far away, hoping to give his team-mates a little more control and delay a little longer.
It was also from Courtois that Atletico Madrid's defense began a series of mistakes.
Courtois' kick was too wide and Felipe had to pick up the ball. Arsenal pressed in the midfield almost desperately during this time, and when the opposing goalkeeper made a mistake in the opening goal, Walcourt and Felipe started to chase the football almost at the same time.
Felipe and Walcourt were about the same distance from the ball, but Walcott was faster without the ball, and after a few big steps, Walcott was closer to the ball and had a good chance of grabbing the ball first.
Felipe had no choice, and in the midst of the rapid running, he gritted his teeth, shot the bullet out of his body, and threw it in a lying position.
Felipe did touch the ball first, but his tackle didn't get it far and it went straight to Arteta's feet.
Arteta didn't hesitate and sent the ball straight into the box.
Because the opponent gave the gift too suddenly. Arteta's frantically flabbered pass wasn't actually good either.
But because it all came so suddenly and quickly, Atletico's backline didn't expect such a situation, and they were also unprepared.
Arteta's pass was for Bendtner and it went wide and the ball fell straight towards the back post.
Standing in this position was defender Godin, who was stunned and jumped up to push the ball out, but the result was ...... Rise to the top.
'Atletico Madrid's backline made a series of mistakes, Courtois's goal kick went wide and Felipe stepped forward to chase the ball. Under pressure from Walcott, he could only fall to the ground to tackle, only to tackle Arteta......"
'Arteta passes...... The ball is passed into the box! ”
"The ball didn't pass well, and the ball landed directly to Godin, so it's the wrong person, right? Ha ......"
"Oh my God, it's on the top! Godin made a fatal clearance error! He actually rose to the top! Incredible! It's unbelievable! Godin, who has been consistent this season and almost never makes mistakes, has made such an unforgivable mistake at this moment! ”
"Bendtner! Bendtner...... Shot ......"
The fans were stunned at this point. Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe what they were seeing, and no one could have imagined that at the last moment of the game. The team can make a series of mistakes.
Everyone had a look of horror on their faces, and some fans even had a look of despair in their eyes, but no one closed their eyes, they all stared at the stadium tightly. Staring at the forbidden area, praying in his heart and cursing Bendtner.
It's a pity that God didn't hear the cries of the Atletico fans. Bendtner wasn't dismayed by the barrage of boos.
The soccer ball flew over Godin's head, and Godin turned his head in panic to see that the ball had just hit the ground. With a stunned look on his face, Bendtner subconsciously stopped the football.
Bendtner was also stunned, he didn't expect a big gift from heaven.
However, out of the striker's instinct, he still stretched out his foot to stop the football. And then...... Straight outstretched foot stab.
In the nervous and panicked eyes of the fans, and in the frightened eyes of the Atletico players, the football quickly passed through Courtois's crotch and then ...... Straight into the goal.
2:1!
Arsenal pulled a goal back in the 92nd minute.
The aggregate score became 5:4 and Arsenal took the lead!
Such a goal can be described as a lore!
Calderón Stadium became deathly quiet, and after a while, the sound of "whimper~" sounded in the stands, and countless fans couldn't accept such a blow, squatted in their seats, and began to hug their heads and cry.
Not only the fans, but also the Atletico Madrid players on the pitch were collectively stunned, although they had a premonition, but when the goal came, almost most people couldn't accept this fact.
Courtois lay on his back, his hands on his cheeks, tears streaming from his fingertips; Godin, who had made a major mistake, was blinded, and he crouched on the ground with his head bowed; Captain Gabby was not far away, his hands on his hips, shaking his head and talking to himself, with a lonely look on his face; Felipe fell to his knees, crying and thumping hard at the turf; The irascible Costa roared around midfield in the morning, and his mouth kept swearing, he was venting his anger and unwillingness......
Everyone was remorseful, and everyone's hearts ached like knives. Especially the players who made mistakes, they felt even more remorseful and guilty.
The commentators did not scream and scream as usual, cheering for the goal, and they also screamed a little unpleasantly in the face of this scene.
"It's a brutal result, with Atletico Madrid scoring two goals in a row at home and already holding the initiative to qualify. But at the last moment, they lost the game! ”
"But...... That's football. It can make people laugh and make people cry...... Until the last moment of the game, no one knows what will happen, it is so cruel, but it is so beautiful, this is the charm of football! ”
"Taught Arsene Wenger's crazy attacking tactics and reaped the fruits of victory in the final moments of the game! Bendtner's goal put them almost halfway through to the last four of the Champions League! ”
"Aside from this mistake, Atletico Madrid did a good job throughout the game. Not only have Atletico excelled in the league this season, but they have also introduced the world to their football and this group of young boys in the Champions League. They still have a chance, next year, next year they will definitely be stronger. Stage a comeback! Yes, definitely! We will definitely be back! ”
The last sentence was uttered by the home commentator, whose voice was choked up. As a full-time commentator for Calderón and a die-hard Atletico Madrid fan, such a result has brought tears to his eyes like all home fans, but he did not keep his mouth shut, he almost roared the last sentence in the form of a roar.
So resolute, so sure!
Although it is very likely that it will stop at the quarterfinals. But Atletico Madrid's performance this season has given hope to all Atletico Madrid fans, and he firmly believes that as long as there is such a group of young people full of vitality and confidence, as long as there is Qin, one day, they will rule Europe, and this time will not be too long!
The home commentator applauded desperately through the microphone. Thin applause passed through the microphone and spread throughout the stadium.
The lost, painful, and choked Atletico fans finally calmed down their emotions, as if they were encouraged, and everyone stood up again. The applause began, and more fans began to cry and hug each other and start singing the Atletico Madrid anthem.
“Atleti。 Atleti, Atléti de Madrid (Athletic, athletic. Atletico Madrid)
……
Jugando, ganando, peleascomoelmejor (Advance, win, fight with your best morale)
……
Yomevoyal Manzanares, alestadio Vicente Calderón, dondeacudenamillares (I'm going to Manzales, I'm going to Calderón, where thousands of people gather)
……
Losquegu standel fút boldemoción (We are all crazy about football, fighting for football)
……”
Over and over again, the loud and passionate "Atleti, Atleti, Atléti de Madrid" lingered over the entire Calderón stadium, so high-pitched, so loud, so ...... Tragic.
The fans were singing, and the Atletico dugout and the bench were all standing on the sidelines, standing side by side, chanting with tears in their eyes.
Although this is a tragedy, but inspired by this singing, everyone must stand and lose, and also stand and lose with dignity, remember this game with songs, and look forward to their future with songs!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The Arsenal players celebrated wildly on the pitch, celebrating their last-minute stunner, while the Atletico Madrid players, who had been reduced to the background, were all sighing and looking disgraced.
"We haven't lost yet! We still have time! One minute! One minute! ”
Qin Shou yelled on the court, he still maintained a strong fighting spirit, and he still wouldn't give up if the game wasn't over.
But his teammates had lost their spirits, and Bendtner's goal completely knocked their hearts into the abyss.
The sky began to be filled with singing over the pitch, with fans with tears in their eyes standing, teammates and coaches standing side by side on the sidelines, all crying, all singing, all shouting.
The players on the field finally came to their senses, and immediately the tears began to fall, and they stood up and sang softly along with them.
Qin Shou also stopped shouting his encouragement. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to face it, and in this game, they really lost and lost the chance to advance to the semi-finals.
But......
Looking at the fans here, the players here, and looking at this great stadium, Qin Shou's eyes were also overflowing with tears.
He gritted his teeth and held back the tears. He clenched his fists tightly, we will definitely be back! Certain!
