"Incredible! Incredible! It's really unexpected!! The TV announcers were all crazy, and they were shouting frantically into the microphone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What do we see? A miracle is about to be born! Weak Hoffenheim held a late draw against the mighty Barcelona!! ”

"Chu Zhongtian! Chu Zhongtian! Chu-Zhong-Tian!! He accomplished an almost impossible task! He did it! He pulled the team back on the edge of the cliff! ”

"Oh-no! No! Hoffenheim actually scored...... This ball...... This ball ......"

"In the Champions League final in '05, Liverpool finally completed the comeback after trailing AC Milan by three goals. I think this match is also completely comparable to that final! ”

"A thrilling goal! Hoffenheim equalised in the last minute! They saved themselves! ”

"I need to remind everyone that Hoffenheim did it with one less person!"

※※※When Chu Zhongtian blasted the football into the Barcelona goal, the Hoffenheim fans in the stands jumped up and chanted to their heart's content.

They really saw miracles!

"Look! Clear! Wimbledon fans pointed at Chu Zhongtian and shouted: "Ball...... The ball is in! He shot the ball in!! ”

"Hahaha! Hoffenheim really did it! He really did it! ”

Watching Chu Zhongtian shoot the football into the goal, his father stood up in the box, raised his arms and cheered, Gao Hongbo beside him was also like him, those who supported Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim in the box were cheering and celebrating, while the supporters of Barcelona sat still and did not say a word.

They still can't accept this reality...... Not only them, but all the Barcelona fans in the stands, the Barcelona players and coaches on the bench, and the Barcelona players on the field, all couldn't accept this result - one more Barcelona was equalized by the opponent at the last minute of the game?!

Chu Zhongtian, who scored the goal, ran to the stands where the Barcelona fans gathered, and then put his index finger to his mouth, signaling the noisy Barcelona fans to shut up!

From the time when these people began to celebrate the victory in advance, Chu Zhongtian was very unhappy with them. We haven't given up yet, what are you celebrating in advance?

This ball finally helped him out of this bad breath!

After shutting up the Barcelona fans, he turned around and greeted his teammates with open arms.

All the Hoffenheim players on the field flocked to him, the closest to him was Van Nistelrooy, but the big brother-like figure jumped on Chu Zhongtian's body suddenly, like a young man, waving his arms vigorously and roaring loudly: "Well done, Chu!" It's beautiful! ”

More teammates rushed up to completely overwhelm them, even goalkeeper Daniel. Haas ran across the stadium to pounce on them and join in the celebrations.

Of course, they have a reason to be so crazy, because the happiness of the rest of their lives after this catastrophe is so sweet. Just a minute ago, they watched with despair as Chu Zhongtian blasted the ball that Van Nistelrooy had missed into the goal, and a minute later, the stone in their hearts could fall to the ground!

Chu Zhongtian's excitement passed quickly, and he knew that it was far from the time to be happy, because there were still a few minutes and 90 minutes before the game was over, and at the same time, they had to accept the torment of 30 minutes of overtime, which was not good news for Hoffenheim, who had one less person.

While everyone was gathering around him, in a noisy environment, he said loudly to his teammates: "The game is not over yet!" Brothers, we still have extra time to play, now calm down! Our situation has not been completely reversed, and we have to do our best every minute for the next minute! I know you've been running for 90 minutes and you're tired. But no matter how tired you are, it's only 30 minutes, and you have to stick to it no matter what! ”

In fact, what happened next, not only his teammates, but even Chu Zhongtian himself didn't know. Is it to attack hard or to defend desperately? If it comes to penalty shootouts, what are our chances of winning?

None of these Hoffenheim players know. They simply don't want this hard-won draw to be wasted.

※※※ "Hahaha! Banzai! Chu Zhongtian! ”

"That's amazing! It's awesome! Chu Zhongtian is dying! ”

"Holy! I don't believe it's true! The Chinese player actually scored such an important goal in the Champions League final! ”

"It's so exciting! My heart can't stand it! ”

…… Just when Chu Zhongtian shot the football into the Barcelona goal, it also exploded on the Chinese Internet. Everyone vented their emotions one after another.

"I'm not a Hoffenheim fan though! But at the moment when Chu Zhongtian scored, I still cried! ”

"Oooo Come on, Chu Zhongtian! Oooooooo Come on, Chu Zhongtian! ”

"We all love Lin Danda! We all love Lin Danda! ”

He Ping's voice on TV was also very excited: "This is the first goal scored by a Chinese player in the Champions League final!" Chu Zhongtian made history!! ”

Hoffenheim's celebration was so long that the referee intervened. But it's not because they're glad they survived, so they celebrate desperately. This was at Chu Zhongtian's request, and everyone tried to use the celebration goal to delay the time and recover their strength at the same time. After all, Hoffenheim have one less person than Barcelona, and they need to run longer distances on the field than Barcelona players, which is a huge physical exertion. There were still 30 minutes of extra time to go, and if they collapsed in extra time due to fitness problems, then their desperate efforts to equalise would be meaningless.

Hoffenheim ended their celebrations with the referee's intervention and then slowly walked back to their respective halves, where they were taking any time to rest.

But they actually overthought it. Barcelona have not yet recovered from the blow of conceding goals at this time, and even if the game resumes, their attack will look rough and impatient, and the success rate is very low.

It's normal to think about it. The game was played in the 88th minute, and they were about to win the championship, but they did not expect that the opponent with one less man used a quick counterattack to equalize the score. No one else will be able to accept such an outcome all at once. Barcelona have been almost smooth sailing this season, rarely in a dangerous situation, and their attacking power and possession have always allowed them to turn the rest of the game into garbage time in the first 30 minutes.

It's so smooth sailing, so they are a little slow to react to sudden unexpected situations.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the 90-minute game, they were unable to make an effective counter-attack. They all had confused looks on their faces.

However, the Hoffenheim players are full of energy, although they are already tired, but the high fighting spirit stimulates them, so that they do not feel tired at all.

"Ninety minutes over! This final, which was considered to be no suspense before the game, was dragged into overtime! ”

"Who said before the game that the only suspense in this game was how many goals Barcelona could win? Hoffenheim gave them a hard slap in the face! ”

"Chu Zhongtian is the best player in Hoffenheim in this game! His goal allowed the team to hold Barcelona to a draw before the end of the game......"

Everyone was praising Hoffenheim's tenacity.

Only the Catalan commentator was cheering on his team: "Nothing to worry about. Hoffenheim were one less man than Barcelona after all, and they were in a very fast pace throughout the game, which was a huge test of their fitness, and I don't believe they can maintain a lot of energy and a fast run in such a situation. So these thirty minutes, as long as we make good use of it, is a chance to beat Hoffenheim! It doesn't need much, just one ball! ”

In this way, Guardiola is repeating this to his players.

There was a five-minute break before extra time, and because it was short, no one would go back to the dressing room, but would sit around the pitch and listen to the manager's extra-time strategy, while the physiotherapists in the team would give the tired players a massage to help them recover their strength and energy.

Pep Guardiola was in the middle of the crowd and cheered on the Barcelona players: "They certainly don't have enough energy to last 30 minutes of extra time, we have to keep the football firmly under our feet, move them back and forth, make them tired, drain their energy, and then wait for their defense to show flaws......

On the other hand, Rangnick is also cheering for his players: "Is Barcelona good? Awesome! But we can also make them so embarrassed! We can drag them into overtime, so we're even better! I know you're all tired, so let's not blindly pursue fast in extra time, we reserve our strength in the first half of extra time, no matter how Barcelona falls outside us, ignore them, we shrink the defense, hold on for these fifteen minutes, and wait for the second half to counterattack! ”

Five minutes passed quickly. The players got up from the ground and prepared for a new battle.

You can see that everyone is tired, whether it is Hoffenheim or Barcelona. After all, people who played 90 minutes of high-quality games, fierce confrontations, fast rhythm changes, and were not tired are monsters.

Chu Zhongtian is such a monster. He is now probably the most physical player apart from the goalkeepers of both sides. The physiotherapist on the team wanted to come up and massage his legs, but he refused, and asked him to massage his teammates who needed the most help.

Many people were surprised that Chu Zhongtian would have such a strong physical fitness, but Wimbledon fans are used to it.

When Chu Zhongtian was still playing with them, he just ran to training, ran to participate in competitions, and ran back. After he played a 90-minute game, he still had the energy to run back and you could tell how fit he was.

As soon as extra time began, Pep Guardiola used up his third substitution - he replaced Abidal with Bojan, and the intention to strengthen the attack was obvious. He didn't want to play a penalty shootout with Hoffenheim, for Barcelona with such a strong strength, it was a shame to be dragged into a penalty shootout, and it would greatly affect the mentality of the Barcelona players, and the penalty shootout was the most mentality-oriented...... In the first half of extra time, Hoffenheim completely cowered in the 30-meter area, almost did not counterattack, and the counterattack only kicked the football forward, and then Van Nistelrooy controlled the football, and Chu Zhongtian rushed up to support - if the timing was not good, Chu Zhongtian would not care about Van Nistelrooy, and would not go up at all, allowing Van Nistelrooy to lose the ball.

In the face of Hoffenheim's iron bucket formation, Barcelona did not have much to do. Many Barcelona fans are reminded of last year's Champions League semi-final, when they hosted Inter Milan.

"Hoffenheim is so passive and conservative! It's a step backwards for football! The Catalan commentator said angrily. What's the point of winning such a victory?! Fans came to watch the game, but they didn't want to see the shrunken turtle! ”

Of course, he has to say anything, because whoever presses out to fight Barcelona in this situation is the number one fool in the world. As a supporter of Barcelona, he always hopes that Barcelona's opponents are all oversized fools, so that Barcelona can win one championship after another without bloodshed, and create a dynasty that will last for generations.

This final could have been the starting point for it all, but the dream was shattered in the 88th minute of the game.

When Hoffenheim retreated, the Barcelona fans booed from the stands, but their boos didn't sound imposing at all, because there were actually only a few thousand of Barcelona fans who were really willing to attack their opponents in the stands at all costs...... More than half of the tickets go to FC Barcelona to their sponsors, business partners and celebrity VIPs. The boos from the thousands were quickly drowned out by the singing of the more than 10,000 Hoffenheim fans.

The Hoffenheim fans all got up from their seats, waved their arms and chanted: "We are from the countryside!" We have nothing!! We are strong! We believe in freedom! We're hillbillies! But we are full of pursuit!! ”

The hillbilly's roar shook the audience and resounded in the sky. The British commentator exclaimed: "No wonder the Rhine-Neckar Stadium is known to many as the devil's home stadium...... With such a group of fans, Hoffenheim can really beat all the big opponents on their home turf......"

※※※ In the face of Hoffenheim, who could not defend it, Barcelona did not have a good solution, and the fifteen minutes passed in a flash, and when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 3:3.

Players from both sides do not get off the field and directly exchange venues to start the second half of the game.

After fifteen minutes of attack, Barcelona could not win the game, which must have been a blow to the morale of the Barcelona players, and although the Hoffenheim players defended very hard, the result was satisfactory to everyone, and their faces were even full of morbid rosy and energy.

Chu Zhongtian was not happy at all, when he walked towards the opposite half with his head down, he was always thinking about how to play the second half of the team's overtime.

The team played well in the first half because we had a clear mind, but what about the second half? Counterattack? To be honest, Chu Zhongtian observed for fifteen minutes and thought that the team simply did not have the extra strength to carry out that kind of sharp and fast attack, Salihovic could barely run, and it was impossible to break through the Barcelona defense with only Van Nistelrooy and his own words.

If you still hold on, even if you hold until the penalty shootout, it will still be in vain. Looking at the goalkeepers on both sides, it is not a grade at all, and Chu Zhongtian himself has little confidence in Haas. Haas is not the kind of goalkeeper who is good at saving penalties.

It seemed like a doomed battle, and all they did was to turn the time of defeat from ninety minutes to one hundred and twenty minutes...... When many people think of this, they will feel that such a struggle is meaningless, and they are likely to lose their fighting spirit.

You can't let your teammates get emotionally like that. So even if you're alone in the second half, try to launch some counter-attacks to boost everyone's morale.

※※※ "It's been one hundred and five minutes...... This game is really unexpected. "The second half of extra time started with the referee's whistle and the commentator lamented." Barcelona have never faced such a tough battle this season. Even against arch-rivals Real Madrid, they were at ease. Everyone was chanting that Barcelona was invincible and invincible. But the weak Hoffenheim showed everyone the possibility of beating Barcelona - they are not invincible! They will also be scored three goals by the opposition in one game! They will also be equalised when they have the advantage! They will also face the opponent's stubborn defense and will not find a chance to score...... I think that's what this final tells us, and there will be a lot of teams that will follow Hoffenheim's lead next season. Barcelona will face unprecedented resistance, at the beginning of this season, Mourinho criticized many teams in La Liga for seeing Barcelona without a fight, I don't think that will be the case next season......

The second half began, Hoffenheim remained on the defensive and Barcelona continued to attack.

"Barcelona's offensive is booming! They will hopefully breach the Hoffenheim gate in these fifteen minutes! "The same thing was said by the Catalan commentator at the beginning of the first half of extra time.

"Alves is up! He's coming up! Cross!! ”

The football was passed to the goal by Alves, and the Hoffenheim defenders were entangled with Barcelona's attacking players, and the Barcelona forwards were generally short and did not dominate when competing for the high ball, so the football was easily pushed out by the central defender Simunic.

However, Barcelona's attack was not over, as they intercepted the ball on the edge of the area and continued to attack.

For the first five minutes, Hoffenheim's defence was successful. But as Hoffenheim's players' fitness declined, their disadvantage began to become more apparent. Everyone could see that there were some balls, and it was clear that Hoffenheim's players were closer, but in the end it was the Barcelona players who got the ball. They were able to save a lot of energy with their skillful passing skills, while Hoffenheim had no other way but to run back and forth.

"Hoffenheim is already at a point where it could collapse at any moment!" The Catalan commentator excitedly announced.

And so it is...... When Hoffenheim's players are out of energy, their defence is full of flaws...... In the 113th minute, Barcelona organized an attack, and Hoffenheim's frontal defense was previously airtight. But this time it didn't work, Xavi seized the opportunity and suddenly picked up a pass over the top! The ball flew over the head of centre-back Simunic and fell straight behind them!

At the same time, Bo Yang suddenly stepped forward, forming a single knife trend!

Thankfully, goalkeeper Daniel. Haas judged in advance, decisively abandoned the goal, and rushed to punch out the football double punch in front of Bo Yang!

"It's dangerous!"

"What a beautiful sortie!"

"It looks like Hoffenheim is really at the end of the road...... The goalkeeper ran near the penalty line to save the danger, which was not common in previous games......"

The Hoffenheim players were shocked to escape with their lives, only to find Haas, who had collided with Bojan, lying on the ground and not getting up for a long time.

"Haas is injured!"

Many Hoffenheim players chuckled in their hearts...... This is their last goalkeeper, in case it really does...... Chu Zhongtian ran over, squatted next to Haas and asked him, "Daniel?" How are you feeling? ”

"It hurts......" Haas groaned. I think I'm hurt, Chu ......"

"Hell......" Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but scold. What are you afraid of? "Will you still be able to keep playing?"

"I—I don't know ......"

Chu Zhongtian hurriedly stood up, pushed away the other teammates who rushed over, and made a gesture to the audience asking the team doctor to come up!

"Daniel. Haas is injured and he was Hoffenheim's backup goalkeeper. Chu Zhongtian made a gesture to ask the team doctor to play, I don't know how he was injured, I hope it won't be too ......serious," He Ping said worriedly.

Rangnick on the sidelines also looked at the goal with a solemn expression, obviously knowing what it would mean if Haas was injured. There is no substitute goalkeeper on the bench now...... In that case, what's the point of the game going to a penalty shootout?

The team doctor ran onto the pitch and checked Haas, while the rest of the Hoffenheim players gathered around and anxiously awaited the results. In the stands, there were boos from the Barcelona fans, who believed that Hoffenheim was deliberately delaying the game.

After checking for more than a minute, the team doctor raised his head and shook his head at Chu Zhongtian.

A huge sense of desperation gripped Hoffenheim's players.

Daniel. Haas couldn't hold on anymore and he had to be replaced.

But the problem is that Hoffenheim has no substitute goalkeeper on the bench, and if Haas is gone, who will be in goal?

"Why don't I come......" Salihovich raised his hand and gasped and said, "I can't run anyway......"

"Sayyad, will you be the goalkeeper?" Someone among his teammates asked him.

"Just use your hands to block the soccer ball......

No one answered him again, and everyone lowered their heads, not knowing what to do.

What if Salihovic goes to goal? If he sticks to the penalty shootout, how many penalties will he be able to save?

We fought so hard until this point, in the face of Haas's injury, it was like a joke. Just to use his tenacity to set off the gold content of Barcelona's championship.

"Damn......" someone whispered.

"I can still hold on ......," Haas struggled. But anyone could see a lot of sweat oozing from his face because of the pain.

"I'll guard the door." Chu Zhongtian stood up.

Everyone turned to look at him, their eyes full of doubt.

"I used to be a goalkeeper when I was learning to play football and I can guard a little bit. At least better than you, Sayyad. He winked at Salihovich and made a joke. But no one could laugh.

"Chu, you are the core of our attack and defense, if you go to the goal, you ......" Salihovic expressed concern.

"Yes, yes, Chu. You can't go to the goalkeeper......"

Chu Zhongtian waved his hand to interrupt his teammates' questions. "At this stage, our only goal is to defend. When I went to goal, everyone went back to defend, gave up on the counter-attack, and held until the penalty shootout......"

"But what's the point of holding on to the penalty shootout?" Salihovic frowned.

"We'll talk about that then. At least we don't have to lose the game at 120 minutes. As long as we are qualified to continue playing, there is hope. Chu Zhongtian said, turning to Haas.

"Give me your gloves and jersey, Daniel. I'm here to guard the door. ”

He repeated the decision.

Haas lowered his head and began to silently take off his gloves, and when he handed Chu Zhongtian both the gloves and the jersey, his face was already full of tears.

Chu Zhongtian hugged him and said in his ear: "Tell the coach to replace you with Gago, we need to defend." ”

Haas nodded vigorously, then slowly walked off the field with the help of the team doctor.

In the midst of the boos of the Barcelona fans, Chu Zhongtian put on Haas's goalkeeper jersey instead, walked to the goal, then put on gloves, slapped it hard, and shouted: "The game is not over yet!" Hoffenheim haven't lost yet!! ”
