Chapter 69: He's a Demon!
After the game resumed, the Roma team, who had one less player, launched a final counterattack against Real Madrid. Schuster stood in the command area and loudly instructed his men to pay attention to the defense. He hopes to keep the score until the end of the game, so that Real Madrid can walk away with a win on this turf and the team's chances of getting past the first round of the knockout rounds will be greatly improved.
Real Madrid left Tang Jue alone in front, and the other players were involved in the defense. Time was ticking and the Roma players were getting more and more impatient, and their shots were missing their crosshairs. Between the 43rd minute of the second half and the second minute of stoppage time, all four of their shots hit the woodwork.
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Roma were dealt another heavy blow. Guti launched a quick counter-attack, and Ribery fought a bloody way from the left and dribbled directly into the Roma penalty area. In desperation, Doni knocked Ribery down, and the referee blew a whistle, yellow card, penalty.
Tang Jue took a step forward and fixed the score at three to one!
Hat-trick, this is Tang Jue's second hat-trick in this season's Champions League. As the referee's whistle blew to finish the match, the first leg of the quarter-finals was finally over.
Totti and Tang Jue hugged each other, exchanged jerseys, and the battle on the court was confined to the court. Tang Jue slung Totti's jersey over his shoulders and walked to the mixed interview area with a smile on his face. Madrid and French journalists were quite excited, Italian journalists had mixed emotions, and as for the members of the "anti-Don coalition", there was only frustration on their faces.
Tang Jue looked at the seven or eight microphones in front of him, then looked at the pale Johansen, and said happily: "Johansen." You see, I've always had so much luck, and I went over and over tonight. β
"Header? You see, I always find a solution to a problem. You probably didn't think of this solution. I'm not going to dive down to take a penalty, but there's still a way to get the deal done. β
Tang Jue said narcissistically: "Sometimes I have to admire myself. β
Journalists from France and the Madrid region laughed good-naturedly. Johansen didn't smile, his face grew paler, as if all the blood was running out.
The members of the "Anti-Tang Alliance" lowered their noble heads, and looking at their expressions, Tang Jue pursed his mouth as if he had lost interest in continuing to "teach" them.
"We won the game tonight and took the initiative of promotion firmly in our own hands!"
Tang Jue threw down this sentence and didn't pay attention to the reporters' questions. Walk towards the locker room. Complete the bet. "Lesson" the anti-Don coalition, he was excited, but when he looked at the lowered heads of the members of the anti-Don coalition, he was very disappointed. Suddenly, I found myself singing a one-man show. Lost interest all of a sudden.
Is this what it feels like to be a master lonely?
Perhaps!
β¦β¦
The atmosphere in the locker room was lively. With an away win at Roma, they see hope of getting past the first round of the knockout rounds. Real Madrid had reached the first round of the knockout rounds in the previous three seasons. This year they can finally go one step further.
Thierry Henry and Ribery were spitting about Don's header.
Thierry Henry exclaimed: "I think that guy had figured out how to score with a header beforehand. β
Ribery shook his head and said, "Probably not, this should be a temporary decision." β
Yaya Toure, who was behind them, joined in and said loudly: "I think Ribery has a point, it was decided on the fly. β
The three of them then had a heated argument.
At this time, Tang Jue walked into the locker room slowly.
"Okay, let's not argue, this guy is here, let's ask him if we understand." Henry looked at the shirtless Tang Jue and said loudly.
When Tang Jue approached, the three of them asked almost in unison, "Did you think about your header in advance?" β
Tang Jue looked at the three of them suspiciously, and asked, "What do you mean?" β
Thierry Henry put him in his seat and said: "I think you designed the way you scored with your header before you shot at goal, and they both thought you made a decision on the fly. Did you plan it before you shot it? β
The three of them looked at Tang Jue hopefully, hoping that their judgment was correct.
"Well, this was decided on an ad hoc basis." Tang Jue said.
Ribery and Yaya Toure high-fived each other excitedly in celebration, Henry obviously didn't want to admit defeat, grabbed Tang Jue's shoulder and said: "I don't believe you didn't design the way to score the goal with a header before the game, you say, did you design it before the game?" β
Tang Jue nodded and said, "Yes, but that way is not very good, so I temporarily changed it again." Then he told the three of them about his pre-designed header, and the audience grew.
After Tang Jue finished speaking, Ramos said loudly: "You guy really dare to think!" β
Henry smiled and said: "In this world, there is nothing he dare not think!" β
Tang Jue argued: "This is also a matter of no choice, you say go to the top of the header, they won't give you a chance at all." So what am I going to do? You have to pass the ball to yourself and put it into the goal. β
β¦β¦
Manchester United drew 1-1 away at Ligue 1 giants Lyon that night, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the only goal for Manchester United. At the end of the game, Ronaldo was interviewed by media reporters in the mixed interview area with a happy mood.
'Congratulations on helping Manchester United score an away goal.' A reporter from the French daily newspaper Lyon said: "You said before the game, 'If I do the bet, it's still possible, Don is too short, he doesn't have any advantage in the box to fight for a header. βγ β
Ronaldo nodded, admitting that he had said this, he suddenly reacted and asked in surprise: "Did he really score with a header?" β
The reporter of the daily newspaper Lyon nodded and said: "Yes, the game of Real Madrid ended two minutes before you, and his second goal was scored with his head. β
"The second goal? Are you saying he made the deal and scored two goals? Ronaldo asked a little disbelieving.
A Parisian journalist exclaimed: "He scored a hat-trick!" β
Cristiano Ronaldo's mood turned bad and he scored a goal tonight. The number of goals in the Champions League reached six, and I thought it would narrow the gap between the two in terms of goals, but who knew that damn guy scored a hat-trick again, and the gap between the two in goals widened to four goals.
Ronaldo frowned slightly and asked, "How did he score the header?" β
The French reporter gave Ronaldo a rambling introduction to the process of Tang's goal, and the Lyon reporter finally asked: "What do you think of his header?" β
Ronaldo sighed: "He's a demon, who would have thought he would score goals in this way!" β
β¦β¦
The next day, the major media commented on the game, and the headline of the team newspaper was: Don with a hat, Real Madrid defeated Roma 3-1 away!
The headline of the German newspaper Bild read: Complete the bet. Don scores with a header. A hat-trick helped Real Madrid win away.
The headline of the Marca newspaper reads: 3-1, Real Madrid wins, enters the quarterfinals in advance!
Without exception, all major media talked about Tang Jue's bet with Johansen. I think it's a bet. created a header for Tang Jue. Marca taunted Johansen: "It's over. Johansen's face turned pale. Before the game, there was a lot of talk, and no one was optimistic that Don would be able to score the Roma goal with his head. β
"A lot of people were talking about how Don would do it before the game. to head Roma into the goal. The Daily Mail even said that when it came time to take a penalty, it swooped to the top. This statement is actually ridiculing Tang, thinking that it is absolutely impossible for him to complete the gambling contract. β
In the game, Don did try to fight for a header in the box, but he didn't even get a chance to jump under the tight defense of the Roma defenders. The clock was fast-paced, and it was already the last minutes of the game, and Don still didn't break through the opponent's goal with his head, and Johansen's eyes on the sidelines were growing with joy. β
In the 42nd minute of the second half, Guti launched a classic quick counter-attack, his long ball in front of his own penalty area fell into the heart of Roma. Don used his speed to snatch the ball above Juan's feet, and then he picked out the onrushing Doni and smashed the ball into the goal with his head. β
At this point, Don completed the bet, and at the same time put an end to all kinds of speculation. At the moment when Don scored, there was no trace of blood on Johansen's face on the sidelines, he definitely didn't expect Don to use his head to break the goal like this. Such a seemingly unsolvable problem, Tang used his wisdom to solve this problem. β
β¦β¦
The "Anti-Tang Alliance" had to admit that Tang Jue was extremely smart, and the World Sports News said: He has a smart brain, the legs of a sprinter, and the feet that can play the violin. We have no complaints about losing to him, but we are skeptical that Real Madrid will make a difference in the Champions League.
Johansen won't throw in the towel easily, and he has turned the conversation back to winning the Champions League.
After Tang Jue returned to Madrid, he said to the reporter of the As: "Although our overall strength is limited, we will never give up." Our chests are jumping, and we have the heart to win the 10th Champions League trophy! β
He was fighting back against Johansen's claims.

On March 6, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals was played at the Bernabeu, and Real Madrid defeated Roma 3-0 at home thanks to goals from Franck Ribery, Thierry Henry and Sneijder. In this way, Real Madrid eliminated Roma 6-1 over two legs and entered the quarterfinals.
On March 13, the draw for the quarter-finals took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The first leg was played from 1 to 2 April 2008 and the second round from 8 to 9 April 2008.
There is not a single Serie A team in the quarter-finals, and the media believes that this has something to do with phonegate. After the phone gate, the Serie A stars led by Tang Jue fled Italy one after another, which directly led to the sinking of the Serie A team.
The Premier League continues to be strong, taking half of the quarter-final spots. The Spanish duo occupy two spots, with Germany leaving only Schalke 04 and the last place being taken by Turkey's Fenerbahce.
The draw results came out, Real Madrid unfortunately met the powerful Manchester United, and the other matchups are as follows: Arsenal vs Liverpool; Schalke 04 VS Barcelona; Fenerbahce vs Chelsea.
This is the second year in a row that Tang has played Manchester United, having met Milan in the semi-finals last season. The first leg between the two sides was played at Old Trafford, and it was that match that offended the entire British media. Since then, he has waged a lifelong battle with the British media.
