Chapter 3 The Beginning of the Dawn
Bai Tao's gaze stayed in front of the goal with the arc of the Baker class, but his body staggered to the corner flagpole due to the rapid sprint, and the three defenders staggered to the corner flagstick.
Real Madrid have only one Fürth player in front of goal, Louvsky from Russia. At the age of 27, he is tall and tall, although his feet are not flexible enough, his physical fitness is very good.
But he didn't dare to relax, and it was Real Madrid captain Theo who was defending him at this time!
Come on! The Chinese fans who support Fürth and Bai Tao keep praying that they must enter!
Real Madrid fans don't seem to be worried, they believe in their old captain, after all, it's the iron-blooded Theo.
The world's cameras and Bai Tao's eyes were gathered on the top of the two heads. Theo wasn't at a disadvantage in terms of height, but the ball was really accurate, past the defenders and over the head of the leaping Theo to Lowski's head.
This ball is replaced by young Theo, and he may not be sure to win. The point of the cross is too important, not to mention that Theo is no longer young now.
Sure enough, Loveski overwhelmed the legendary Theo and shook his head fiercely, and the sweat droplets turned into a parabola with the shaking of the head.
This is the moment he will make history!
The ball went firmly into the top right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper stretched his body, but there was nothing he could do.
Top on the net, highlighting a sharp arrow. It deeply pierced the hearts of Real Madrid fans, as well as Theo. I didn't expect this to happen in my retirement war.
Real Madrid fans were silent and looked at the old captain in distress. Fürth fans have completely unleashed, this goal has made too much history.
Fürth's first goal in the Champions League knockout game, Fürth's first goal for Real Madrid, and maybe even the only goal in the past, present and future.
The team members ran frantically towards Lovesky, forgetting their fatigue and sweating. At the moment, there is only joy after the goal, although promotion is no longer possible, but to score a goal at the Bernabeu is also the dream of many small clubs.
At 86:46, the score was rewritten to 1:2.
Except for the goalkeeper and Bai Tao, all eight players rushed to the goalkeeper. But it was saved because the scorer had already rushed to the assister near the corner.
The tall Lovsky, like a chicken, grabbed Bai Tao's legs with one hand and lifted him high, while the other hand waved desperately at the fans.
He knew very well in his heart that 90% of the credit for scoring this goal was due to the oriental player in front of him, and he just came naturally.
Bai Tao, who was held high, went against the normal celebration during the Super League, raised his right arm and shouted hysterically. It's Europe, it's the top of the world, he doesn't need to worry about the club, he doesn't need to worry about who is behind it, he just needs to enjoy scoring goals with his team-mates.
Of course, there is another reason for this, which is to anger the Real Madrid fans and force the Real Madrid players to attack again in the few minutes remaining, rather than shrinking the defense.
Despite Fürth's goal, the team is still 1:2 behind and 1:5 down. Real Madrid, as the dominant side, has every reason to control the ball and advance steadily.
But at this moment, neither Real Madrid fans nor Real Madrid players can accept this result. Whether Fürth's goal was scored by the old captain or when he was preparing to retire today, they had to take a good look at the young recruits.
After the celebration, the team members hurried back to their positions, knowing that they would definitely have to face the full firepower of the Galaxy Battleship next.
Sure enough, Real Madrid, except for the central defender and the left and right defenders, all pressed to Fürth's half. Despite the heavy attack, the distance between the three fronts was well maintained, which effectively prevented the opponent from counterattacking quickly.
Bai Tao looked at the compact defense line opposite, not only to face the tide of Real Madrid's attack, but also to think about how to attack.
Long passes, rushes, penetrations, inverted triangles, long-range shots, the mighty Real Madrid has exhausted almost all offensive methods. But Lady Luck seemed to be on Fürth's side today, with three hits on the post and two saves.
The clock gradually reached 90 minutes, and the linesman signaled four minutes of stoppage time.
It was at this time that a foul by a Fürth player near the penalty area gave Real Madrid a very good free kick opportunity.
The young Cesola stood in front of the ball, measuring his pace, his eyes full of determination. The strong thigh muscles show the determination to advance.
Bai Tao stood in the middle of the human wall, this position reassured the Real Madrid players somewhat, after all, the opponent's most impactful and physical player is currently this oriental young man.
Accelerating, kicking up, the ball went over a wall with a gap and hit the crossbar hard.
A depressed Cesola slapped her thigh hard, almost a little. Real Madrid fans were sorry, Fürth fans secretly rejoiced, only commentators noticed why there was a gap in the human wall.
At the moment when the free kick was issued, Bai Tao had already run towards the opponent's half, which was a gamble and a gamble that had to be made. He bet that Chesora couldn't score the ball, and he bet that the captain of the team would be able to clear himself.
Kempa understood the ball, which bounced off the crossbar into the air, and was cleared by him into the Real Madrid half, which seemed to be a random clearance, but it was a hidden killer. "Can you catch up?" He thought to himself.
Before the Real Madrid players could recover from their regrets, a red flash of lightning passed through the defensive line.
Not good!
When the Real Madrid midfielders realized the seriousness of the problem, Bai Tao approached the center circle with thunderous speed, and the ball landed near the center circle. The speed of this sprint is faster than when he first came on the pitch and broke through on the wing.
"His speed is absolutely Asian, even world-class!" Commentators exclaimed.
It was too late to catch up, and the experienced Real Madrid crowd immediately came to this conclusion. Except for Flash Chesola, the rest could only watch quietly. In fact, they are not worried, after all, there are three players at the back, central defender Theo, and Belgium and England internationals. They don't believe the Oriental player can break through the three-man siege.
They didn't believe it, and Bai Tao didn't believe it either, so he already had a strategy in mind.
The wind is under your feet, your eyes are like torches, and you go. Near the big penalty area, Bai Tao took a shot with his feet, and the distance was a full thirty-five meters. At this distance, no matter how full the force is, no matter how fast the ball speed is, it is difficult to penetrate the ten fingers of Real Madrid's goalkeeper Carrera.
Kadie is not called for nothing, two consecutive La Liga Golden Glove winners.
As it turned out, the ball didn't need to be played by Khaty, as the ball hit the left post. Real Madrid's two young full-backs breathed a sigh of relief, but only the veteran Theo did not relax.
He saw clearly that the young players after the shot did not stop, but quickly rushed towards the penalty spot. His intuition told him that it was dangerous!
Although he was stuck, he still couldn't stop Bai Tao's impact alone.
I used to cross the snowy mountains and chase the wind, but I couldn't catch up with the young man in front of me, or even if I was fast, I couldn't catch up with the pace of the years.
Foul?
Why not complete this hard-working young man? Theo, who smiled slightly, didn't take a foul, he wanted to see what the young man could do.
The ball that hit the post and bounced back, the speed of the landing seemed to be fast, but in Bai Tao's view, it was like a slowly falling snowflake, as if it was stationary. I saw that his left foot moved slightly, turned sideways, and left room for his right foot to communicate with the ball.
One foot supported his emaciated body, his right leg made a nearly 180-degree arc in the air, and the ball was so fast that Kashen fell to the ground helplessly.
Even though there are thousands of troops, I move forward with a horizontal sword. A volley, clean. Scored the second time in five minutes against Real Madrid.
On February 21, 2037, Beijing time, at 5:40 a.m., the entire Bernabeu and the entire Chinese fans were stationary at this moment.
After scoring the goal, Bai Tao walked to the goal, pulled up the fallen card god, and signaled to the opponent if he could take the game goal. Although the youngster let his goal break twice, the quality of the Real Madrid player went without saying, and Kashen smiled and handed the ball to Bai Tao.
Holding the goal, Bai Tao slowly ran to the camera, lifted his jersey, and showed three names on the white undershirt: Li Lan, Lu Ming, and Ou Baguio. Mother, best friend, beloved girl.
The woman in front of the TV burst into tears, and the disabled teenager in a wheelchair raised his arms and shouted. The beautiful girl picked up the phone, and we broke up and sent it out.
If there were no three of them all the way, Bai Tao would not be able to stand on this sacred stadium and stand on the top of Europe to express himself. Scoring goals is just the beginning, and the dream is just one step forward.
Bai Tao, who shed tears, kissed the names of the three affectionately, and after years of grievances, he squatted excitedly at the corner flagpole and couldn't get up for a long time. It wasn't until Kempa and the players helped him up that he was moved to see his tearful cheeks.
At this moment, Kempa realized how many ups and downs the Chinese player had gone through. From China, a weak football country, to enter the Bundesliga and score its first goal at the Bernabeu, how incredible it is to think about it.
At the moment when Kashen kicked the ball out, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
"Incredible, this player is incredible. Coach Rose was also incredible, grasping the emotions and shortcomings of Real Madrid's players, using his players reasonably, and taking away a draw at the Bernabeu. Although they were eliminated, they are definitely not losers. Pogba explained earnestly.
Indeed, in addition to lamenting Bai Tao's magic, the audience and fans around the world think that in fact, this game can be drawn, and head coach Ross is indispensable.
At the end of the game, Rose, who had just returned to the court to prepare a thank-you gift, looked at the score on the big screen and opened his eyes wide in surprise.
2:2 actually tied with the mighty Galactic Battleship? He didn't laugh, not upset, but disbelieving.
At this time, Fürth's players had already put down the heroes of one pass and one shot, and were thrown into the sky countless times, and their cheeks were a little red. They rushed to the coach and were ready to throw the coach.
Not just the spectators, but even the Fürth players believed that everything that had happened in the last twenty minutes was arranged by the coach, except for Kempa. Because he knew that the coach didn't trust Bai Tao at all.
Puzzled, Rose pondered repeatedly, if there was any uncertainty, was it really him? Looking at the teenager in the distance, smiling at him, Rose was a little embarrassed. But immediately all he saw was night, because the players had thrown him into the sky.
Bai Tao also slowly ran towards this side, hoping to celebrate with his teammates. Halfway through, a familiar figure appeared, Santos, the new king of the Bernabeu.
"I heard that you met my father when I was a child, and speaking of which, I am still your eldest brother, so I will come to the scum group when I have the chance." After speaking, he patted Bai Tao on the shoulder, and before he could say anything, Santos also rushed to his teammates to celebrate, after all, this is the first time that Real Madrid has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the past three years.
Smiled helplessly, and continued to walk towards his teammates, but this time he was stopped by several reporters who rushed into the scene.
"Do you have anything to say about this game?"
Before Bai Tao could speak, all kinds of long guns and short cannons were already set up in front of him.
"I am Chinese, I am Chinese." Faced with Bai Tao's answer, everyone was taken aback.
"How much do you think the unexpected draw in this game has to do with you?" This question is very pitiful, and if you don't answer it well, it is very likely to be used by the media, it is really not easy to survive, Bai Tao smiled bitterly.
"The main reason for this game is that the coach's tactics are reasonable, and Real Madrid is not familiar with our team, so it has little to do with me." Bai Tao wouldn't jump into the trap so easily.
If you take credit, you will definitely be exaggerated by the media, arrogant and so on. The pressure off the field is really more than on the field.
"What is the meaning of the three names you showed after you scored, can you explain it to us?" Seeing that he couldn't speak, the reporter began to ask about privacy again. And this reporter turned out to be a Chinese journalist.
"I'm only showing the names to the three of them, not to the world, so as long as they know what they mean." After speaking, Bai Tao ran to his teammates expressionlessly.
Clear-eyed people can see Bai Tao's dissatisfaction with the question just now, even as a colleague, several foreign reporters expressed hesitation about the question just now, after all, it is someone else's privacy.
Seeing Bai Tao coming with a straight face, Kempa took the initiative to greet him, and joked with a smile, "Why was it bombarded by artillery again?" ”
Facing the captain's move, Bai Tao smiled disheartenedly.
Surrounded by everyone, the two and the head coach began to walk towards the hotel near the stadium, and it was close to midnight at this time. But they didn't sleep at all, and in addition to celebrating, they wanted to experience the midnight atmosphere of Spain before they left tomorrow.
Back at the hotel, everyone drank and celebrated, and the champagne directly drenched everyone's bodies. Bai Tao, who barely drank alcohol, was a little drunk.
He looked at his watch, quietly returned to his room at nearly 12 o'clock, and reported his mother's safety. Regular work and rest, regular training, and keep your body in shape. Their physical fitness is not stronger than that of Europeans, and if you don't pay attention to maintenance, you can't talk about competition. Everything about him is seen by the captain and the coach.
Kempa grew fond of the player, while Rose had mixed feelings. Everything that happened in the past made me unable to accept the Chinese players, and this hurdle in my heart is really difficult to overcome.
In the haze, Bai Tao felt that he was being carried away, and when he woke up, he found himself in a noisy nightclub.
The indignant Bai Tao did not greet his teammates and was about to go back to the hotel to rest, but was stopped by his teammates. "It's hard to relax, and my brother will take you to try it later."
Bai Tao shook his head and rejected the kindness of his teammates, "No, I have to sleep when it's time to rest." ”
The teammates didn't force it, but they just felt that this Chinese kid was a little disappointed, "What's the matter with this guy captain?" Not a man? ”
Although Kempa came, he was forced to be the captain, and although he drank, he would definitely not go to try it, after all, he had a family. "He used to be interviewed as if he wanted to win the Golden Globe, so that's why he asked himself so."
Cut, after listening to the captain's words, everyone said disdainfully. Although they admit that Bai Tao played well today, but with the help of Asians, Chinese want to win the Golden Ball? Daydream.
Even Kempa couldn't believe Bai Tao's idea, but what is impossible in football?
Corner kick, when the opponent attacks, under pressure, kicks the ball out of his own half, the last court line (bottom line), causing the ball to go out of bounds, the opponent can serve in the corner, pass directly to the front of the goal, and his teammates head the goal.
Corner kicks are a common means for a weak team to beat a strong team, regardless of the score, and to kill a lore.
