Chapter 557: Peak Loop Turn

Maritimo has been riding a horse hoof lately.

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, after defeating Juventus, he also sang all the way in the league and the Portuguese Cup.

Playing in a rotating lineup in the Portuguese Cup, they easily reached the final.

And the league, after a wave of ten consecutive wins, won the championship four rounds ahead of schedule and successfully defended the title!

Winning a championship may be regarded as an accident, but winning the championship for a second time is a manifestation of hard power.

Maritimo is the hegemon of Portuguese football in this era!

After winning the championship, they are full of spirit and can fully devote their energy to the European arena!

The situation in another arena also proves the strength of Maritimo.

In the group stage of the Champions League, Red Bull Salzburg, who was beaten by Maritimo and couldn't find the north, almost collapsed, regained its breath in the Europa League.

Killing all the way, the state is getting better and better, and he actually eliminated AC Milan, Manchester United and other giants and reached the final.

Compete with Sevilla for the "Sevilla Cup", ah, no, it's the "Europa League".

In an interview, the coach of Red Bull Salzburg said, "My team is not a fluke, but has absolute strength. It's just that in the Champions League group stage, he met Maritimo and Real Madrid, the opponent was too strong, and his team was unlucky! ”

With a relaxed mindset, Maritimo arrived at the Allianz Arena in Turin for the second leg of the Champions League.

Maritimo is a young team with little experience from coaches to players, and it is inevitable that arrogance breeds under consecutive victories. The crushing victory in the first round made them a little complacent, and they unconsciously regarded this match as a formality, and already focused on the future final.

And the outside world has little interest in this game, and they all feel that Maritimo has already entered the final with one foot, and it is only a matter of time before Juventus is eliminated. Compared with this tedious contest, the other match, which was a 2:2 match in the first leg, was even more appetizing.

The game started, in line with the outside world's predictions, and in the opening stage, Maritimo still sacrificed the tactics of pressing from a high position.

Maritimo is strategically contemptuous of opponents, tactically valuing opponents, arrogant and arrogant, but it does not affect the ferocity of their pressing at all.

And the "old lady" Juventus is still entering the game at a slow pace.

Judging from the situation in the first ten minutes of the opening game, the overall situation has basically been decided.

If this is Barcelona, they can only be helpless because of the shackles of tradition, continue to strengthen the transmission and control, and go all the way to the black. But Juventus knew how to be more flexible, and immediately changed their style of play.

Since you can't play to the front court through the pass control organization, let's simply play simply, open the backfield, don't be in the midfield, and connect the defender and the striker directly.

It stands to reason that this style of play should not make any waves, but Juventus has the best striker in the world.

Although Ronaldo doesn't get the ball much, his keen sense of smell and flexible movement always maintain a threat to the goal.

In the 33rd minute, Juventus once again seemed to clear the ball and drove the ball to the front.

This time the ball was a little wide and fell to Chiesa Jr., who was ambushed on the wing.

Chiesa Jr. crossed directly, the defenders in the box were not out of position, Kusai was in the front post, Wen Jun was in the back post, and it looked like there should be no threat.

However, Juventus has Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad!

I don't know where it came from, Ronaldo suddenly stepped forward in front of Kusay, like a roc spreading its wings, ruling the entire sky!

The 38-year-old Ronaldo has an obvious stagnation in the sky, with excellent waist and abdominal strength, a fierce headbutt, slammed on the ball!

Even if it is Niu Gensheng, for such a close and powerful head, there is no way to stop the ball from smashing into the net!

1:0

Juve took the lead.

The aggregate score is 2:3.

After the goal, the president made his trademark mid-air spin and flicked his hands in celebration.

And all the fans at the Allianz Arena also shouted "SIU" along with the president!

This "SIU" has lifted the hearts of Juventus.

It also allowed Juventus to see the dawn of promotion.

Although they were still behind on aggregate, the opportunity was in front of Juventus.

They only need to score one more goal to eliminate Maritimo by virtue of the advantage of away goals!

In the last game, they also saw hope after moving the score to 1:2, but Ronaldo's free kick five minutes later made that hope come to naught.

Therefore, if the equalizer can be equalized in a short period of time, it will allow Juventus to vent this breath, otherwise, Juventus will always feel that hope is in front of them, and they will play more and more.

However, football games are so mysterious, the more you try to score, the more you can't kick the goal.

Maritimo further strengthened his attack after falling behind.

However, whether it is Wang Zi's strong shot after passing three people in a row, or Ronaldo's shot in his best area, Dzeko's close-range header bombardment, and Vukovic's cold arrow long-range shot. Either by the slightest mistake, grazing the goalpost or the beam, or by a szczesny who was hanging open.

Anxiety began to write on the young faces of the Maritimo players. Gao Yuan on the sidelines also frowned, the luck of this scene didn't seem to be on his side.

Football games are very mysterious, and although luck is invisible and intangible, it may really exist in the sky above the green field.

If you can't attack it for a long time, you will lose the city.

Maritimo couldn't open the situation for a long time, but Juve seized the opportunity again.

In the 55th minute, Juve played a counter-attack.

Dybala won the ball in the middle, pushed forward, ran for more than 20 meters, attracted a number of defenders, and suddenly passed the ball to a no-man's land in front of the penalty area.

Just when everyone was wondering what the "little demon fairy" was going to do, they saw Ronaldo rushing over from a long distance.

The 38-year-old Ronaldo's speed is no longer superior, but his running position is superb, I don't know how to swim, there are no defenders around!

Goalkeeper Niu Gensheng suffered another loss of inexperience, his reaction and saving ability are top-notch, but in the grasp of the timing of the attack, the choice of defensive position, but because he is a halfway monk, lack of experience, and a lot worse.

"Old Niu, what the hell are you doing in a daze, attack!"

Wen Jun, who desperately chased back, but couldn't keep up with Ronaldo's footsteps, yelled in a hurry.

Niu Gensheng woke up like a dream and attacked the ball.

He is more explosive and faster, but Ronaldo starts earlier and acts more resolutely.

The two rushed to the ball almost at the same time, and made a move at the same time, drumming in front of the gong!

Niu Gensheng is a fall to save, and Ronaldo is a sliding tackle.

"Bang", the sound of muscles colliding reached the ears of the people around them. The two tough guys, one old and one young, did not close their momentum, and they bumped into each other solidly.

After all, Ronaldo, who was more resolute, was a little faster, and his toes touched the ball first, and the ball crossed under Niu Gensheng's armpit when he fell to the ground, and rolled into the unguarded goal behind him!

2:0

The Allianz Arena was stunned for a moment, and then erupted in a tsunami of cheers.

The great Cristiano Ronaldo lived up to expectations and single-handedly turned the tide!

Maritimo's face changed up and down, he didn't expect it to be such a result! If it ends with this scoreline, then it will be the self who is playing away from home to be eliminated.

The players surrounded the referee, accusing Ronaldo of ramming the goalkeeper and the goal should be invalid.

But the referee was unmoved, and beckoned the team doctors of both sides to come into the field to treat the two people who were rolling in pain.

Annoyed by the noise of the Maritimo players, he said angrily: "Look where he has run!"

As soon as everyone saw it, Niu Gensheng's position had already been out of the penalty area, and there was no talk of protecting the goalkeeper in the penalty area.

Besides, in mind, it's a 12-goal chance for both sides.

There was nothing wrong with the goal!

Alas, the hardest time has come......
