Chapter 678: The Dust Settles
It's just an ordinary clash of words, but in times of tension like this, it's easy for either side to provoke a dispute.
Because the pressure of the penalty is not ordinary.
And after Oscar listened to Casillas's words, it was this kind of reflection, maybe he just responded casually.
The mutual greeting between the two immediately attracted the attention of the referee.
At such a tense moment, the two of them were still in the mood to explode foul words to each other, of course he would not be polite.
He showed each of them a yellow card.
This seems to be the first case in the history of football?
"Ridiculous!" Jose Mourinho is the most unpleasant referee, no matter how the referee blows the penalty, as long as it is against Chelsea, he thinks the referee's decision is wrong, and this time is no exception.
Of course, neither of them had a problem with the yellow card, but when Oscar glared at Casillas, Casillas' mouth was still moving.
Although he didn't make a sound, the lip shape made Oscar see it clearly.
"Bad seeds!" He still seemed to read the word out of Casillas' mouth.
And three in a row?
He shook his right index finger as he stepped back, seemingly full of anger.
Before he knew it, he had been completely aroused by Casillas.
The action of that hand is to tell Sù Casey - you wait, don't smoke you to death!
Oscar is a Europeanized South American player, still a little different from traditional players, his body and foot skills are quite balanced, if it is usual, he will choose a very dexterous way to shoot.
But now, he probably thinks a powerful shot is a better expression of his mood at the moment, so he opted for a blast.
He aimed at the bottom right corner of the goal......
However, Casillas pounced in the right direction!
In the flash of light, the fast-moving ball was finally lifted out by the fallen Casillas!
Casillas has finally become San Cassie! He stood in front of the door. has truly become a one-man man who can't open the door.
He immediately roared and became an angry god!
Once upon a time, we saw Casillas so excited and crazy? No, never. And this time, he finally played another role, a wild man!
Oscar directly hugged his head with both hands and turned into a completely different person. Before he could shoot, maybe he was angry and wanted to shoot Casillas away. But when the shot failed, he wilted completely......
"Pounced! Yes! Liu Hao was like a young girl in spring, she couldn't help screaming, and then hugged J Luo next to her tightly, and celebrated this great save with J Luo.
This goal completely saved him from the darkness, at least the team no longer fell behind because of his mistakes!
The two teams are finally back on the same starting line.
Of course, he's not the only one who's crazy.
At that time, as long as it was a Real Madridian, it was estimated that they would burst into applause. Vent your long-suppressed feelings.
It wasn't until the fourth round that they pulled the score to 3:3, and they really returned to the same running line.
For Chelsea, the first three rounds were for them. It has been smooth sailing and has the advantage, but when Oscar's penalty is saved by Casillas, the advantage is instantly gone. There is only a thin line between heaven and hell.
Now, the biggest test. It's finally here.
"The score is finally tied and in the final round, if someone makes another mistake, then the championship appears, and once both sides score the ball, the penalty has to continue."
'In the final round, it was Cristiano Ronaldo on Real Madrid's side and Cesc Fabregas on Chelsea's side. The two will be under the most pressure of the game to take penalties, they can't allow themselves to make mistakes, and once they make mistakes, then the Champions League is basically goodbye, of course, it is possible that both of them will miss the penalty, but I think the probability is relatively small. ”
It was probably the last one to play, and the pressure was too great and both sides were very slow to prepare.
Courtois was stopped by Mourinho and chatted a few words, and he didn't know what Mourinho said to him, anyway, Courtois kept nodding.
On Real Madrid's side, Zidane also pulled Ronaldo to explain.
At this time, Ronaldo, whose hairstyle was still shining, raised his head and chest as always, like a sculpture, and also nodded slightly.
Eventually, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Thibaut Courtois made their way towards the penalty area.
"Portugal and Spain met in the semi-finals of the European Championship in 12 years, the two sides drew in 120 minutes and finally entered the penalty shootout, when Portugal coach Pinto put Ronaldo in the last place to play, but Ronaldo waited for the game, his teammates sent Spain out of the fourth round of the game, at that time Ronaldo was sneered at by the fans, saying that he did not dare to play in the penalty shootout, deliberately played in the fifth. Today, he finally waited for his chance, and if he scored, it would be to slap those people in the face and tell them that he could get it in the fifth round of the most stressful round. If he fails, he may become a Baggio-style tragic figure, and the deepest memory of the 94 World Cup is the lonely No. 10 back of Baggio. Huang Jianxiang felt it, and when the penalty kick was not kicked, the memories in his mind poured out like a tide.
"A great goalkeeper is also the key to success, Courtois is young, but when he stands on the goal line, he has a feeling of weakness in the opponent's heart, but it shouldn't be Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo scores more penalty goals every year than the average striker, he should know how to deal with this goal, not like in the 2008 final, I think he will definitely make a change, everyone knows that he likes to shoot into the bottom left corner of the goal, will he come to the right this time? Or will there be a great spoon like J Ronaldo? ”
※※※※
Courtois flapped his wings like a duck in a pond to warm himself up for the ball.
And Ronaldo focused on the ball, his forehead was covered with sweat, obviously this ball is not easy to penalize, and the eyes of fans all over the world are focused on him.
His shot either kicked out of Real Madrid's future or kicked Real Madrid into hell, you can imagine how heavy his steps are......
As he usually does with free-kicks, he took a few deep breaths before pacing back.
'It's been a long time since I've seen him do that, lately he's only been the team's number two free-kick and penalty taker. I watched it today, and it doesn't seem to be as pretending to be as it used to be. Huang Jianxiang was still in the mood to ridicule.
Ronaldo's penalty gesture and goal celebration posture have always been criticized by fans, especially hostile fans, to the point of disgusting actions, of course, Ronaldo never gave up on his actions.
This time, he was no exception......
It's just that, surprisingly, this time, the position of Ronaldo is really different from before!
The action is the same though. But the angle of standing is different.
As we all know, Ronaldo's right foot is more balanced, whether it is a penalty kick, a free kick, or a usual shot, his right foot is his habitual right foot. You've never seen him score a free-kick or a penalty with his left foot, right?
Today, his position has turned everyone's thinking upside down.
He was standing on the right side of the penalty area, and it was not clear if he was going to take a penalty with his left foot?
He stood like this. Courtois was visibly stunned.
It is undeniable that I have been studying Ronaldo's free kicks for a long time, and even the estimation of which of Ronaldo's toes is long and which is short, but no one has ever seen Ronaldo take a penalty like this!
"It's an adventure. This is too risky, Ronaldo did this, was he infected by Liu Hao? Changing guns on the spot, a big taboo! Big taboo! You don't really shoot with your left foot! Huang Jianxiang's hands directly blocked his face. Leaving only two fingertips in the gap, he didn't really dare to look at this shot, he was just worried.
There are many, many people who dare not look at such an abrupt scene at this moment. Many people like Huang Jianxiang are helpless in their faces, helpless in their eyes, and even leave no gaps.
It's horrible!
Cristiano Ronaldo ran with his left foot, without giving Courtois any time to think.
He did this so that Courtois could only face it with more speculation, or to make him upset.
In the nick of time, Courtois chose to save the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!
At this time, the usual research is only for fart, only for gambling!
Ronaldo likes to shoot at the bottom left corner of the goal with his right foot, so he should shoot at the bottom right corner of the goal with his left foot! That's how Courtois gambles!
At that moment, Ronaldo bent his bow and shot the eagle, Courtois spread his wings, and the picture was perfect.
In the end, success or failure matters.
Cristiano Ronaldo kicks the bottom left corner of the goal, Courtois pounces on the bottom right corner!
Boom -
Once again, the San Siro collapsed.
In the white-clothed stands, a sea of cheers erupted, which was deafening.
Although there was no victory yet, they saw hope.
Yes, I saw where the hope was.
This is the first time since the penalty shootout that the score is ahead!
After the goal, Ronaldo restrained all the basic feelings, just waved his right hand to the stands, expressing his firm belief, but only he knows how surging his heart is.
When he returned to the center circle, everyone came up and hugged him.
And when Casillas walked out, they lined up and shook hands with Casillas one by one.
This may be the last battle!
4:3! The initiative came to Real Madrid's side, and if Cesc Fabregas, who came on for Chelsea, couldn't score a penalty, then Real Madrid won!
At this moment, the pressure, all the pressure, was thrown to Chelsea, to Cesc Fabregas.
Xiaofa may not have thought that the competition would develop like this? I could have easily ended the game in the last one, but now it's the most stressful one!
What about God! Is God dozing off again? What about letting Chelsea win the Champions League, but now it's hiding again? Mourinho grimaced and stared at his smug protégé as he walked to the penalty spot.
Penalty shoot-outs change in an instant, and now it's Chelsea's turn to go crazy, and he is no exception, pinning all his emotions on Cesc Fabregas, hoping that Cesc Fabregas will live up to expectations and keep Chelsea going on in the shoot-out.
"Is this the end? Or, go ahead? Huang Jianxiang's voice became much calmer, "At this moment, Chelsea fans must be very worried, this feeling is definitely uncomfortable, if there is a fan with heart disease, Jian Yì still turns off the TV, which tests people's heart endurance." ”
Plop plop, plop plop.
At that moment, maybe everyone's hearts were beating faster, and the heartbeat of the audience was full.
All are former Spanish national team teammates. Knowing oneself and knowing one's other, Cassie and Xiaofa have no secrets to speak of.
So, when Cesc Fabregas set the ball, Cassie was ready.
Cesc Fabregas didn't adjust too much either, a run-up followed by a kick and Cassie pounced.
Cesc Fabregas hit a half-high ball!
Cassie pounced in the right direction, but couldn't touch the ball.
Fabregas, who is a master of the arts, dares to kick a half-high ball!
This kind of ball requires the most technical content, and if you don't master it well, you are likely to miss the goal or be saved by the goalkeeper.
However, he succeeded! He managed to equalise for Chelsea! Chelsea are not dead, Chelsea still have to keep going!
Finally, it was the turn of the blue ocean to vent. Even crazier than the Real Madrid fans just now.
4:4! After five rounds of penalty shootouts, the winner is still not decided.
This is unusual for a Champions League final.
In the past five rounds, the winners and losers were divided, but this time it was different!
Zidane, who was already ready to cheer, had no choice but to continue to keep his face black.
Thankfully, he had his sixth player ready for his debut, Croatian Luka Modric.
Luka Modric was the No. 1 penalty substitute and will continue as long as the first five rounds of penalties have been played.
So Modric is still mentally prepared.
Of course, Zidane is already thinking about a seventh penalty.
If the sixth round is still a draw, who should be allowed to play the seventh? Originally, it was one of the two that put Reus and Benzema on it. But both of them are gone, and they can't go on again.
So......
Hesse?
When he thought of the name Jose, he felt a little insecure.
I don't know why, he didn't have a lot of trust in Jesus by nature.
But now only Hesse can do it, right? Of course. The premise is a draw!
He returned his gaze to the field.
Luka Modric was already standing in front of the penalty spot.
After a few moments, he was finally relieved! The calm and composed Modric did not disappoint him and steadily kicked the ball into the goal!
The pressure is on Chelsea's side again!
"I can't stand it again, I'm sure I've had a short life again......"
Chelsea came up with Spanish striker Costa.
As a striker. was placed in the sixth appearance by Mourinho, and you can imagine how much Mourinho trusts their defenders.
Although Costa is a tall Spanish center forward, it is important to know that he is a Brazilian player. There is no shortage of delicate technology under your feet!
He is a goalscorer himself, and he is still used to eating penalties.
Despite the huge pressure, he still solved the trouble in the first place, and his kick was quite neat, and the pain and danger of the fans were immediately relieved......
Then, it was on the side of Real Madrid.
Hesse, sure enough, was named by Zidane.
He sent Hesse to a penalty in the seventh round.
"Hesse penalty? Really? Huang Jianxiang's eyes widened, and the Real Madrid fans in the fan box were also trembling.
Is Zidane's choice right?
Having never seen Hesse take a free throw, is Hesse really up to the task? In fact, there are still people in the team who can take penalties, such as Carvajal, which is better than Jesse, who is not very experienced, right?
For 10,000 people, there are 10,000 ideas.
But Zidane's idea was to let Jesus take a penalty.
The eyes of his teammates were on Jesse.
"You can do it!" Cristiano Ronaldo offered encouragement.
"Come on! Just do it as you normally would. Liu Hao also sent encouragement, and has played six rounds so far, but he didn't kick in, and the others have been kicked in......
His encouragement was of little use......
Jesse played the seventh round and could be the end of the game. Penalty shoot-outs can't go on forever, there will always be an end.
At this moment, what can be given to Hesse is cheering and encouragement. By this time, perhaps it has nothing to do with footwork and technique, but rather psychology and will.
Hesse's state of mind at the moment is completely different from what everyone imagined!
Being able to stand in the seventh round brought him not pressure, but excitement!
It's not pressure, it's excitement, and this has to be more bt?
Big names such as Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely not have a feeling of excitement when they take a penalty, only nervousness!
And Hesse is like a fan, and the pores of his whole body are excited!
Why is this happening?
This has to be related to Liu Hao.
Originally, Jesse had no chance of being in the squad at all. But Zidane temporarily let him in.
That's it, Zidane himself had no intention of letting him appear, just prepared for an accident.
However, with the help of Liu Hao, Hesse actually got the opportunity to appear.
Liu Hao's original intention was to make Jesé's Real Madrid career perfect.
Jesus' confidence was so high that he didn't score, but he was the brightest player in extra time.
He almost succeeded.
It's just that in the end, the game dragged into a penalty shootout.
The penalty shootout didn't have his share, but the score was kept tight, and the winner was not decided until the sixth round.
In the seventh round, he finally waited for his debut!
A qiē seems to be predestined.
Hesse was the messenger sent by God in this game. After all, you have to show your face.
I'm going to kick the ball in, I want to thank Liu Hao with the goal, Liu Hao can't complete the goal, I'll finish it!
Hesse's heart was full of excitement at this time.
I was able to withstand the pressure at the most critical moment!
Hesse muttered to himself and stepped back.
Think of it as a penalty on the training ground, and if you don't score anyway, you'll have to pat yourself on the back and leave......
With that mentality, he made free throws.
It was perhaps the easiest goal of the game, though not as breezy as Ronaldo's shot. It was so effortless, but Jesse did his best.
The ball hits the turf and goes into the net.
He threw a low kick to the ground to make it 6-5......
Hesse, smiling, raised his right hand. Constantly swaying from side to side in the air.
"I can't see it, Hesse actually punished so easily, his actions are like telling everyone, this is just a gesture. It's so simple, isn't it just a penalty? Look at how hard you guys played, was it that hard? He didn't know. The moment he shot the goal, everyone probably closed their eyes and didn't dare to look at it! ”
"This kid really has a big heart! I can't underestimate it, if this goal finally brings victory to Real Madrid, I don't know if he won't have to leave after the season is over. Of course, Arsenal are said to have made a place for him in the main force, at least better than at Real Madrid......"
Back in the middle circle arc, Hesse high-fived his teammates one by one, and the ease was really not pretended.
Many teammates were worried that Hesse had missed the penalty, and Liu Hao was one of them.
He was the first to come forward and celebrate with Hesse.
Despite having the best free-kick footwork in the world, he was the only one who missed a penalty! He's not even as good as the tender melon Hesse!
All eyes are now on Chelsea's Ramirez, who Jose Mourinho opted for a penalty.
The further back he went, the more pressure he was under, and Ramirez's steps became heavy, as if he had been chained to dozens of pounds, and every step became so difficult.
At this time, those who can bravely stand up and take responsibility for the team are brave players.
Although the head coach has the right to choose players, but players also have the right to refuse to take penalties, there are only a few people left, especially those players with poor footwork and poor psychological quality, let them take penalties, their hearts are full of resistance, but a big general like Ramirez, a player who has experienced the ups and downs of the big game, will not refuse a penalty, this is just a game, although it is very important.
But competition and life are always two different things.
Ramirez stood in front of the penalty spot and didn't think much of it.
The more you think about it at this time, the more chaotic your mind will become, so why not just solve the problem a little bit. Besides, he didn't have much to think about, just shooting, it's as simple as that.
His run-up was so long that Casillas thought the guy was about to explode, he stretched out his arms, crouched down slightly, and tried to stretch his cross-sectional area a little wider, and the moment Ramirez shot, he let out a loud shout and flew to the right to pounce.
This, or betting.
Just win the bet! If you can't win, you still have a chance!
In just a fraction of a second, the ball whistled over the lintel!
It's high!
Although it is very close to the lintel, it is still high after all!
Didn't go in!
Didn't enter? Ramirez was momentarily dazed.
His choice was not wrong, but his feet may not be as obedient as usual.
He wanted to hold down the ball and kick out a violent roll, but the ball actually flew upwards and was completely out of his control.
At that time, his feet were a little soft, maybe he didn't get the strength out of the kick?
At this time, his feet were a little hot. It's completely different from just now.
His ear drums had already swelled, and he had no idea what the outside world was like.
Buzz-buzz-buzz
Tinnitus gave him only this feeling.
The eyes are blurry, white and blue.
White snowflakes drifted down from the stands in all directions, and they were beautiful in an instant, but Ramirez preferred blue snowflakes, which gave him a sense of tranquility, and white, which was more like the color of death......
It's over?
Mourinho muttered.
A qiē is like a dream. The game is really over.
He has become a loser again.
A year ago, he failed, and a year later, he still failed.
He didn't change his fate, he didn't win the Champions League, although he has already won two and envy a lot of managers, but for him. Inadequate.
He thought that after a year of hibernation, standing on the final field, God would be able to favor him once and let him get this trophy. But God was joking again.
The Chelsea players all hung their heads, crying, frustrated, confused, desperate, angry, all kinds of expressions.
Runner-up. It's a failure, not to mention, they already had runners-up last year. They don't need runners!
※※※※
Casillas had never run so fast.
At this moment, he can't leave the team, and at this moment, he has to rush to the team as fast as possible to celebrate.
Chelsea are finished, Real Madrid wins.
A 1-1 draw in regulation time, a penalty shoot-out, Real Madrid 6-5, 7-6 on aggregate, they won the 2015-2016 Champions League final, and they won the 11th Champions League trophy in Real Madrid's history.
San Siro turned into the Bernabeu at that moment......
"It worked! We did it! Liu Hao had forgotten about the shadows, cheered to his heart's content, hugged each teammate, and high-fived each teammate to celebrate.
Last year, he was as excited as today, there was no difference, one, two, they were still full of infinite expectations like first love.
Every player's pursuit of honor is eager and eager, Liu Hao is like this, not to mention other players.
Especially the players who won the Champions League for the first time for the team, even more so.
Just look at J Luo, those clear eyes have already been filled with tears, watery, like a woman with pear blossoms and rain.
And Jesus, who scored the final goal, celebrated by taking off his shirt and lying quietly on the turf alone, looking up at the sky of San Siro, no one knows what kind of mood he was in at that moment.
Is it excited, excited, lonely, or reluctant?
The last game gave him the greatest gift of his life and his last game at Real Madrid.
He never imagined he would play such an important role in such an important match.
This battle is destined to go down in the glorious history of Real Madrid......
"Real Madrid's 11th Champions League!" Huang Jianxiang roared, "Congratulations to Liu Hao, he won the second European Championship Cup in his life!" It only took him two years to get the Champions League trophy that many people haven't won in 20 years of their careers! ”
Although he missed the first penalty and put Real Madrid in the dead land, his team-mates did a great job of recovering from hell and lifting the Champions League trophy! His mistake in the penalty shootout was fatal, but if it weren't for Liu Hao, Real Madrid wouldn't have gone to the penalty shootout, let alone lifted the trophy! Therefore, fans don't need to be depressed that Liu Hao didn't score a penalty, without him, there would be no joy at this moment! ”
※※※※
While rejoicing, at the same time grieving.
This is the end.
Athletics always have to decide the final winner and loser, there is no draw.
There is only one champion.
And Mourinho is still a loser.
It's rare.
Frustrated, he still walked to Zidane very generously and congratulated Zidane.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Qi Zu didn't know how to comfort him, so he took the initiative to hug him, and gently patted his right hand on his back, like comforting an injured child.
Mourinho has always been a headstrong kid and is no exception.
But the Chelsea players were crying, but he wasn't.
His eyes were actually covered with red bloodshots, but he just didn't squeeze out a single tear, he was just such a person, stubborn......
It's better to cry than not to cry, right?
But he wanted to cry, maybe he couldn't.
Zizou wanted to laugh, but he always endured, after all, in front of the defeated Mourinho, he wanted to show enough respect.
Of course, Mourinho is not used to being a loser, and after receiving Zizou's comfort, he immediately ran to comfort his soldiers, and at this time, the players needed his save.
"It's too cruel, it's too cruel, seeing Mu Shuai's expression, I suddenly feel very sad in my heart. If Mu Shuai didn't lead the team to the finals the next year, maybe there wouldn't be so painful, it's not terrible to go back in the semi-finals for two consecutive years, it's terrible to be the runner-up for two consecutive years! Huang Jianxiang also changed his expression and mourned for Mourinho.
"Actually, being able to reach the final is great enough, they are not losers, losers don't go to the finals, they can reach the finals two years in a row, which proves that they are strong, perhaps, what they lack is just luck. In particular, Mourinho has been suppressing Real Madrid with tactical advantages from beginning to end, and Real Madrid has completely relied on the sudden play of stars to the end. ”
"He has Messi next year, Messi may be able to make his wish come true! Messi is the element that Chelsea is lacking the most right now, and when he comes, Chelsea can also become a supercar, hopefully! Hopefully Chelsea's Champions League path will be perfect. ”
At this moment, Messi was silently watching from the stands on the field.
Today, he was watching as a spectator and he didn't play for Chelsea, but he was still frustrated to see Chelsea lose.
Victory, let those guys take it again! It's disgusting......
Of course, he will be unhappy, because Real Madrid stepped on Barcelona's body to reach the final, and now he has stepped on his new club to win the championship, this mood will naturally be very unhappy!
At that moment, he had already linked his heart to Chelsea.
It's okay, next year, we'll be back again!
Next year these guys will definitely be reorganized, Cristiano Ronaldo is leaving, they have to return the blood, Chelsea is stronger, as long as there is me......
Messi thought.
On the pitch, Real Madrid have lifted the Champions League trophy......
This season's Champions League final has been decided......
Liu Hao continues to stage his European legend...... (To be continued......) R1292
