Chapter 165: Departure
At the moment when the football was shot, Simeone rushed to the sideline with his arms raised, but the cheers that seemed to be about to break out at any time were blocked by the huge dull sound in the next moment, and there was disbelief in his eyes, and he even forgot to put down his hands held high, and looked at the direction of the Arsenal goal with his mouth wide open, stunned.
The substitutes on the bench also opened their mouths incredibly, and they were a little unacceptable to this result.
The hundreds of visiting fans in the stands were also incredulous, some waving their arms in frustration to vent their regrets, some covering their mouths with their hands, and some jumping and chattering.
Jennifer was also in the midst of the shocked crowd, her eyes widening and she let out an exclamation of surprise as the ball hit the post. Then she fixed her eyes on the figure standing in front of the penalty area, her eyes full of worry.
For a long time, Qin Shou gave her the feeling that she was very confident and sunny, but this time she missed, and the record of 100% hit rate was broken, I don't know if it will bring a huge blow to Qin Shou's heart.
Chris and Julia had thought that this wonderful arc would lead to a goal, but when Almunia miraculously saved the ball to the post, they couldn't believe it.
The two saw the worry in Jennifer's eyes, and Chris hugged his wife and daughter and continued to look at the court with burning eyes.
On the field, the faces of the teammates were full of complicated expressions such as shock, doubt, and disbelief, and they all turned their heads to look at Qin Shou.
Qin Shou stood quietly in place like a petrified statue, his head hanging slightly, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
The pitch was quiet, while outside the pitch was noisy and noisy, with the cheers of the home fans and the screams and commentators of the commentators.
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Almunia saves Qin's free-kick! In slow motion, we can clearly see that the tips of his fingers are touching the football. This is why the trajectory of football has changed slightly! It was because of this side that Almunia saved Arsenal's goal and saved the whole team! ”
'The quality of the free-kick was very high and to be honest, I was surprised that Almunia was able to make a save so quickly. He obviously moved his steps in advance, and the moment Qin shot the goal, his body was already thrown out. I'm sure he must have known that Qin would hit the top left corner of the near post, so he made a prediction in advance! ”
"I think I know something. Jens. Lehmann had been whispering to Almunia behind the goal and I think he must have been teaching Almunia the secret of his free-kick – a lot of fans know. Qin and Lyman are excellent friends, and they are extremely familiar with each other, so Lyman also has a lot of credit for being able to save this shot! ”
“4:2! The die is cast! That will be the final scoreline, with Arsenal beating visiting Atletico Madrid by two goals at home, and they will head away with a two-goal advantage! They have taken the lead on the way to the semi-finals of the Champions League! ”
"The Emirates Stadium today will be a sea of joy and they will hopefully be back in the last four of the Champions League this season!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After the end of this offensive. The game finally came to an end, and Turkish referee Kakir blew the whistle for the end of the match without stoppage time.
Arsenal won 4-2 at home and took the lead in the opening period. and then fell behind, and then exceeded the last two goals, and finally won the first leg of the Champions League quarter-knockout round by two goals.
The advantage of two balls is not small. They have made a good preparation for the road to the semi-finals.
The Emirates Stadium was once again a sea of joy at this moment, with fans laughing and laughing. Singing the Arsenal team anthem loudly. The Arsenal players were equally excited, gathering around to celebrate the victory and thank the fans who had come to watch the game cheer them on.
Qin Shou was still standing quietly in front of the penalty area, and beside him, there were still teammates looking at him blankly, and it seemed that he still couldn't accept the result that Qin Shou's free kick did not score.
At this time, Qin Shou was in a complicated mood.
It's not that the record of never missing a shot has been broken, but it's a feeling of inexplicability. This goal, he really wants to score, because this goal is scored, and the advantage of promotion will be Atletico Madrid's advantage. However, he didn't want to score, because this goal was a heavy blow for Arsenal, and their path to promotion would also be overshadowed.
This is a very contradictory thought.
However, as a professional player, Qin Shou can still only do his best.
The moment the ball left the ground, Qin Shou, who felt very good, thought that the ball was there, and the final result surprised him as well, Almunia made an absolute world-class save and actually hit his football on the post.
Qin Shou didn't know how to describe the mood after the football was saved, there was light, but there was also heaviness.
However, since fate chose Arsenal today, he can only accept his fate.
Qin Shou shook his head and was about to turn around and leave the court.
"Don't take it personally, Qin."
Captain Gabi walked over, he thought that Qin Shou was hit because this free kick was not scored, so he stepped forward and patted his head comfortingly, "No one can always maintain a 100% free kick hit rate." If so, it's not a man, it's a god. Qin, you have already done a good job, there is no need to take this miss to heart. ”
Qin Shou nodded, signaling that he didn't take it to heart, and then said with some regret: "It's just a pity, if this goal is scored, the situation will be very favorable to us." ”
'No team can have a smooth ride, especially in the Champions League. Gabby shook his head and said firmly, "It's just two goals behind, and it's not the end of the world yet." Back at Calderón Stadium, we'll have a chance to get the score back! ”
At this time, Atletico's teammates also came over. Because of the loss, everyone's mood was a little heavy, and everyone finally came back to their senses, Qin Shou is always a human being, not a god, he will also make mistakes, and he will also have times when he is not in a good state. The big guys all patted Qin Shou, signaling that he didn't have to take this shot to heart, let alone feel guilty about it.
Even Costa, who has always liked to sneer at Qin Shou, rarely did not make a sound to bury Qin Shou, he glanced at his teammates who were not in good morale, and muttered: "It's not that I'm eliminated, I look like my parents are dead one by one, hum!" ”
Costa's muttering was heard by a few teammates who were close, and he was in a bad mood when he lost, and when Costa said this, he suddenly became angry and wanted to rush up and reason with Costa.
Qin Shou and Gabi stopped them.
"Alright, guys, don't look depressed." Qin Shou clapped his hands, "I'm sorry, I couldn't score this free kick in the end." However, although Diego has a bad attitude, the reason is very right, we are not eliminated yet. Back to our own turf in the second round, let's have a good fight with them. We'll have a chance to get the score back! ”
Qin Shou's words made everyone's spirit recover a lot.
Think about it, it's true, it's not the end of the world yet, there is still a second round of the competition, although the gap between the two goals is not small, but it is not too big, they are not without hope of turning the tables, and it is unknown who will die at that time.
"Good! them again in the second round! ”
"I wasn't very convinced of today's game, and when I get back to Calderón, I'll let them taste our awesomeness!"
"We're going to beat them at home, definitely!"
……
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After the match, Atletico Madrid will spend the night in London before taking a flight back to Madrid the next day.
Simeone told Qin Shou that he could not return to Madrid with the team, and he gave Qin Shou a day off to reunite with his girlfriend Jennifer and some old friends.
However, Qin Shou finally refused.
On the one hand, because the team lost, and on the other hand, there was an unwritten rule in the team, if the game was won, the team would have a day off the next day, and if the team lost or did not perform well, the holiday was canceled and the team practiced more.
Simeone opened the net and gave him a day off, but Qin Shou was unwilling to lose and was special in the team. His teammates are not in a good mood, and he can't run out and have fun when everyone is unhappy.
Qin Shou ended up just taking time off work to go out for dinner with Jennifer and her parents on the night after the game. Although Jennifer was very reluctant to separate as soon as they met, Chris and Julia were very in favor of Qin Shou's decision, after all, a team is a whole, if you want to mix in the team, and you want everyone to have centripetal force, then some unfavorable factors should be avoided as much as possible.
After a simple dinner, Qin Shou sent Jennifer's family back to the residence. Chris had no intention of inviting Qin Shou into the house to sit down, in his words, Qin Shou could not enter his house for the time being until the two conditions he asked were completed.
Qin Shou and Jennifer could only say goodbye in front of the door.
On the second day, Qin Shou returned to the team and returned to Madrid City, where he was training for the whole team and preparing for the upcoming league weekend.
