Chapter 601 The Road to Wales ([-])
The score was equalized at the last moment, and the Bayern fans fell into madness, while the Real Madrid players fell to the ground as if they were exhausted at this moment.
The blow of being equalized at the last moment was huge. The Real Madrid players looked a little frustrated, and Zidane looked bitter, "Why was the No. 10 not replaced?"
He looked in the direction of the fourth official, "If he is replaced, there will be no final goal".
This feeling is cheating, but there are no ifs on the football field.
Not long after the re-kick-off, the game entered overtime. This was a fair result for both sides, but it was also an unacceptable result. Fighting for another 30 minutes with a serious lack of physical fitness?
Obviously, this is difficult for both parties to bear.
The moment the referee blew the final whistle, Wolfart rushed to the court to give Li Qiao a massage.
After applying the massage ointment, Li Qiao felt a cool sensation on his calf. Following the tightening and loosening of the miracle doctor's hand, Li Qiao suddenly felt indescribably comfortable.
"You're a fool," Wolfart snapped.
"what"?
"If you continue like this, your career will not last for a few years, and you are overdrawing your career."
"I can persist",
"You think you can fool my eyes",
Li Qiao stopped arguing. He pointed to his right arm, "This is what the captain put on for me. It is my responsibility to wear it. This is my opinion."
Wolfart was really defeated by Li Qiao, "Stop talking, lie down".
Feeling Wolfart's massage, Li Qiao knew what rejuvenation is. Just 5 minutes of massage made Li Qiao recover, and his leg muscles were not so tight.
Real Madrid has no one to replace. Zidane has played all the cards, and Bayern is the same. Even if there are substitutions, Sammer does not want to replace anyone on the field. That is to say, the two sides can only stick to the current lineup.
*****
The first half of extra time began, Real Madrid kicked off first, Ronaldo pushed the ball, Vazquez ran forward with the ball, he was replaced in the first half, and his physical fitness was still sufficient, before running to the penalty area, Vazquez gave Ronaldo a side kick.
But at this time, Ronaldo's physical fitness has declined seriously, but Vazquez's pass to Ronaldo was still given according to his usual strength. The ball went out of bounds, and Ronaldo did not catch it.
After the ball went out of bounds, Ronaldo complained to Vazquez a little bit. It was not a matter of catching up or not being able to catch up. It was likely to cause me to strain.
Vazquez raised his hand in embarrassment.
After the start of overtime, the pace of the game between the two sides was much slower, and the possession of the ball was in the midfield, but Summer did not dare to be careless. Real Madrid's ability to exert force is very strong.
3 years ago, everyone thought that Atletico Madrid was the team that could run better, but the final facts proved that Real Madrid ran Atletico Madrid to death.
Many people have misconceptions, thinking that a giant like Real Madrid relies on technology and not on running, but it is not. If you look at the statistics, Real Madrid’s running ability is not inferior to the so-called weak teams. What’s more, Real Madrid’s sudden acceleration ability is very strong, which was most obvious in the Champions League final three years ago.
When the opponent can't run, Real Madrid can still maintain a high attack rate, which is terrible.
Sammer remembered the game 3 years ago. He knew that Real Madrid would not be able to obediently go to the penalty shootout. Real Madrid must speed up at some point.
Summer looked at Ronaldo and Bale, but what he didn't know was that there was someone else who became the engine of Real Madrid this time.
That person is "Vazquez". Vazquez, who is not tall, is a good knife when he breaks through the wing. From a distance, he looks a bit like Ribery. He suddenly cuts in from Bayern's ribs with the ball, which is very sudden.
Bayern's defensive attention was all on Ronaldo, Bale, and Modric, and they neglected the little-known "Vazquez", so Vazquez easily cut in front of Boateng.
In Spain in recent years, there have been many post-90s young monsters like this. Saul is one, and Vazquez is another. Facing Boateng, Vazquez did not pass the ball and continued to move forward. After dodging the angle, Vazquez shot and the ball was blocked by Neuer with his feet.
Ronaldo complained to Vazquez again, you pass the ball to me, my position is better, but this time Vazquez ignored Ronaldo, obviously thinking it was unnecessary.
*****
It was Real Madrid who took the initiative in overtime. Bayern really couldn't run anymore. Li Qiao's legs just felt comfortable, but they were still far from feeling strong.
Li Qiao's mind has been echoing Wolfart's warning, next year is the year of the World Cup, Li Qiao really should take it easy, without Li Qiao's breakthrough, Bayern's offensive power will be greatly reduced.
Both Muller and Lewandowski are players who are very good at seizing opportunities, but they must have teammates to create opportunities for them, but now it is difficult for Li Qiao to pass the pass that is so accurate.
On the other side, Ribery broke through and forced a cross. The reason why he said it was a forced cross was because he could not completely break through. This is also a false breakthrough.
Now Ribery can only do this, he can't get past Marcelo.
Muller was annoyed when he saw Ribery's pass, "Fuck, what kind of pass is this, passing the ball to the sky"?
And every time Ribery passed the ball, he immediately gestured to his teammates in the middle to apologize, and his pass was indeed a bit outrageous.
As the overtime time passed by every minute and every second, both sides were looking forward to the penalty shootout in their hearts, and it seemed that it was the most appropriate choice.
*****
Three whistles sounded, and the game was over. Team doctors from both sides rushed into the field, handed water, towels, and massaged.
While Sammer and Zidane were thinking aside, thinking about the list of penalty kicks.
"The first Boateng bar",
Generally, it is a good choice to let the defender play a penalty kick, because the defender himself does not know where he will kick.
"The last one... Li Qiao", Summer wrote the name in his heart.
On Zidane's side, he chose the teenager "Vazquez" for the first appearance. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and young people are generally more resistant to stress.
"the last one"?
Zidane chose Ronaldo.
After picking sides, Real Madrid won the first penalty order.
The order of taking penalties for both sides is also handed over to the referee.
Bayern here are: Boateng, Rafinha, Martinez, Ribery, Joe Lee.
Real Madrid in order: Vazquez, Bale, Ramos, Marcelo, Ronaldo.
When the penalty shootout started, "Vazquez" was the first to go to the penalty spot, and the audience booed loudly. Under such a scene, most people probably lost their legs from fright.
Vazquez was expressionless. He placed the ball on the penalty spot, glanced at the praying goalkeeper Keylor Navas on the other side, and avoided Neuer's eyes as much as possible.
Run-up, shot, Vazquez pushed the ground ball, the power of the ball is very small, pay attention to the strength of the ankle, but it is very concealed, the ball got into the lower right corner, Neuer did not make a save.
1:0.
Boateng looked very nervous when he walked to the penalty spot. The first penalty is very important, and he is related to the mentality of his teammates behind him.
Looking at Navas who was talking like a wizard in front of the goal, Boateng chose a burst shot, and the ball crashed into the net.
1:1.
After the first goal of the penalty shootout, the tension actually dropped a little bit. Bayern's second Rafinha and Real Madrid's second Bell both scored penalties.
The penalty shootout came to the fourth round, and Real Madrid played Marcelo. At this time, there was an episode on the scene. Neuer picked up a bottle of water behind the goal and wanted to drink, but in fact, everyone knew that Neuer’s purpose was to interfere with the opponent.
Real Madrid players protested, and the referee also warned Neuer, but in this way, interference with Marcelo is inevitable.
The Brazilian seemed unconfident during the run-up. In fact, the penalty shootout is a psychological game. Marcelo's hesitation was seen in Neuer's eyes.
shoot!
"My God, Marcelo's ball was saved", this is the British BBC's commentary on the scene.
Marcelo covered his head, he couldn't believe it, but it was too late to say anything at this time, but when Marcelo walked back, his teammates ran over to Marcelo and comforted him. It is very uncomfortable for a person to miss a penalty at this time, and he will feel that he is dragging down the team.
Then Franck Ribery made a penalty kick, and then the penalty shootout came to the cruelest fifth round of PK, which was also the final round.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to play, and the heavy burden was on Ronaldo's shoulders. As long as he missed the penalty, then Li Qiao didn't need to play, and Bayern won.
Neuer wanted to "drink water" again, but this time the referee didn't let Neuer succeed. He kicked the water bottle away in advance and warned Neuer not to play tricks.
Run-up, shot, Ronaldo paused before shooting, this pause fooled Neuer, and then Ronaldo pushed the ball in the opposite direction.
It was a 4-4 tie, but there was one last player from Bayern who did not play.
Real Madrid and Bayern's semi-finals are really inextricably linked. The score was 180-4 in 4 minutes of two rounds, and the penalty shootout was 4-4. Now the eyes of the whole world are focused on one person, that is Li Qiao. He may become the one who decides this semi-final.
Navas was guessing Li Qiao's mind. A star of this level is likely to shoot a lob with a spoon, and he can also make fake moves.
The atmosphere at Allianz was suffocated. Many fans turned around and didn’t dare to watch. Li Qiao slowly walked towards the penalty spot. Li Qiao didn’t go to set the ball, but directly prepared to shoot. The simpler the penalty kick, the better. This is what Muller taught him.
Run up, shoot.
"Oh my god, a burst shot," the commentator on the scene yelled.
No one thought that the skillful Li Qiao finally chose the penalty method to be the most brutal and violent shot.
The ball is in! !
At the moment of the goal, Real Madrid fell, and the Bayern players rushed to Li Qiao, and Li Qiao stood like a statue. At this moment, Li Qiao was relieved, he did not lose to the penalty again.
