Chapter 260: Failure and Transcendence
Chapter 260: Failure and Transcendence
"Bang ......"
The loud bang slammed into everyone's hearts. The ball slammed into the right post and flew off the baseline.
The fans of Barcelona were full of joy and escaped death. And Atletico Madrid's fans are in despair........ there is no goal in this way, I really don't know if Atletico Madrid can create a miracle in the last two minutes........
Bravo, who was sideways on his side, let out a long sigh of relief as he watched the ball fly off the baseline, and then he lay back on the ground, never wanting to move again.
He even felt his heart stop beating for a moment – especially when the ball flew past his fingertips, and he was on the verge of despair.
Pique's hands were still on Li Qingshan's body at this time, knowing that he was relieved to see the football hit the post and out of the bottom line, and almost sat on the turf with a weak foot.
"Really...... It's a shame. Another shot very close to the goal, another post!! ”
"Barcelona survived, and Atletico Madrid ........ they were hanging."
"There are only two and a half minutes left in the game, which is really too little time for a football game."
"There are more than two minutes left, and there is still a chance!! Atletico Madrid need to seize this last minute!! Duan Xuan didn't know whether he was cheering for Atletico Madrid at this time, or providing a little comfort to the fans of Li Qingshan in front of the TV.
Li Qingshan also froze, when the football broke away from his instep, his intuition as a shooter told him that the ball was there! Where did I think, it was actually another goalpost!
However, he soon called his team-mate out of the Barcelona penalty area.
Two minutes left, and there is still time!!
Bravo slowly placed the ball on the line of the small penalty area, as if he was holding not a football in his hand, but some valuable fragile object, he carefully put it down, and then kept adjusting the position of the football.
This is a noticeable delay in time.
However, Barcelona didn't need Bravo to do this because Enrique made a substitution on the sidelines.
Now the substitution is all about stalling for time.
Xavi stood on the sidelines, and in the final moments of the game, Enrique gave the veteran Xavi the chance to play in the Champions League final, and he was going to replace Messi.
This is to make Messi accept the applause of the Barcelona fans at the scene!
Sure enough, Barcelona fans collectively stood up and applauded Messi and Xavi. However, this is not Barcelona's home stadium, and there are more Atletico Madrid supporters than Barcelona on this stadium.
So the boos rang out.
However, Messi was unimpressed, and he raised his hand as he walked and applauded towards the surrounding stands.
Finally, under the boos of the Atletico Madrid fans and the impatient urging of the Atletico Madrid players, Messi and Xavi finally completed the substitution, and after Xavi and Messi high-fived and celebrated, Barcelona's brain ran into the field a little impatiently.
Barcelona made a substitution and the clock was well slipped by a minute.
Now there is only one minute left until the end of the game..........
Bravo finally drove the ball out, again not with a big foot forward, but at centre-back Gerard Pique.
The Atletico Madrid players pressed on the side, and Pique had to kick forward with a big kick without any passing lines.
Football from the back of Atletico Madrid in addition to the sideline.
Miranda rushed out and quickly sent the throw-in.
However, the referee's whistle blew ............. Barcelona were about to make another substitution.
In a dead-ball state, the opponent asks for a substitution, which is a fair move to delay time. Atletico Madrid had no choice but to accept it.
Miranda stood anxiously on the sidelines, waiting for Barcelona to complete the substitution.
Pedro comes on for Suarez.
Finally, to the boos of the Atletico Madrid fans, Barcelona made the last substitution.
At this moment, there are only more than thirty seconds left in the game.
Miranda threw the throw-in to goalkeeper Oblak and then ran forward as well.
Barcelona defended all the way, while Atletico Madrid pressed all the way.
In the Barcelona penalty area, more than a dozen players from both sides crowded into this small space.
Oblak paused slightly, and when all the players were in place, he played the ball straight into the Barcelona penalty area.
This could well be Atletico Madrid's last chance to attack.
Whether you can drag the game into extra time depends on this!
There was a sudden silence as everyone watched the soccer ball flying in the air.
Li Qingshan also stared at the football flying towards him.
It's like the last offense in a basketball game, and it's usually done by the biggest star on the team.
It's the same now, Oblak's pass is also to the area where Li Qingshan is.
Barcelona are also well aware of what Atletico Madrid will do.
Therefore, the marking of Li Qingshan is also the strictest.
Pique and Mathieu, two tall men, caught Li Qingshan one after the other, and around, there were also Busquets and Rakitic ready to step forward to break the ball.
But even in this case, the first landing point was still grabbed by Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan jumped high, and with a light header, the football flew sideways to the right.
In the case of Li Qingshan's heavy guarding, the other positions naturally became vacant.
"Godin !!!!!!!!!!!"
In the roar of the commentator, Godin pressed Alba to head the goal!
The fans of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the stands also exclaimed!
However, Godin is not Li Qingshan, although he beat Alba on the header, but Alba still caused a lot of interference to Godin. So much so that the power of this header was not fully exerted.
The football just swayed and flew towards the goal, and although the angle was tricky, Bravo, who flew to save, still flicked his fingertips and pushed the ball out of the bottom line.
Atletico Madrid's shot is denied again!
Li Qingshan rushed up and prepared to make up the shot, but the football was already out of the bottom line. But now was not the time to regret it, he immediately chased the football, picked it up and threw it towards the corner flag.
This should be a corner!
However, just as Saul was about to take a corner, the whistle blew.
The first sound was short.
The second sound was short.
The third tone is elongated.
Two short and one long, three whistles!
"The game is over!! It's over!! It's over!! ”
The Catalan narrator roared hoarsely.
These last few minutes were just too thrilling. But in the end, Barcelona withstood the attack of Atletico Madrid!
"The game ..... over...... Atletico Madrid is not inferior to Barcelona 1-2, the curse of defending the Champions League continues, and Atletico Madrid fails to defend the title. The Madrid commentator's voice also deepened.
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.......... Li Qingshan failed to be the savior of the team in the final moments, although he had played this role many times before, but in this most important final, he missed the miracle ......... It's a pity ........ When Duan Xuan said these words on the commentary seat, he took off the headset and clenched his teeth.
Behind him, there is a media gathering area, where Catalan journalists chant in celebration of victory, while other Spanish and Chinese media sit in their seats and remain silent.
When Li Qingshan remembered the whistle, he was still stunned for a moment, and he didn't react, knowing that a huge cheer suddenly sounded around him.
He was taken aback.
Then he turned his head and found the Barcelona players in the red and blue striped jerseys, as well as their fans in the stands.
They were cheering with their arms raised.
They're jumping.
They were hugging.
They threw Messi high in the air, like knights in a crowd of their kings.
They waved their arms and shouted at their fans.
And Li Qingshan just looked at them in a daze until his vision blurred.
This is probably the most poignant defeat he has ever had since he entered professional football.
He tried his best, but he could only be defeated at the feet of a strong opponent.
This made Li Qingshan understand that his strength was not strong enough to ignore all teams, and he had to become stronger!
The other Atletico Madrid players were lying on the ground with their hands over their faces.
At this moment, the only people on the Atletico Madrid side standing on the field are Li Qingshan and Simeone.
Simeone has his hands in his trouser pockets like a sculpture.
He watched as his players sat down one by one, lying on the ground.
He finally accepted the reality and the game was over, with Atletico Madrid losing ........ Champions League final.
He wanted to protest to the referee because Atletico Madrid could still have a corner.
But the crowd rushing out of the Barcelona dugout blocked his way, and the cheers of the Barcelona fans on the pitch were like a volcanic crater erupting, drowning down his words.
He finally stood on the sidelines.
It's over, it's all over........
The TV broadcast was filming the celebration of Barcelona everywhere, while the loser Atletico Madrid was silently licking its wounds in a corner where no one was paying attention.
Simeone, who was still a tough guy, walked up to the pitch and comforted the Atletico Madrid players one by one.
He walked up to Li Qingshan, looked up at the child who was much taller than him, stood on tiptoe, and put his arm around the child's shoulder.
Facing the coach who gave him infinite trust and the greatest tactical freedom, Li Qingshan suddenly had a sour nose: "I'm sorry, the coach ........."
"No, Lee, it's time to say sorry to me. You've done well enough today, there's nothing to be frustrated about. You're the best centre-forward, but alas, Atletico Madrid doesn't have the right player to get the most out of you. I'm sorry......." Simone said as he put his arm around Li Qingshan.
Then Simeone patted Li Qingshan on the shoulder and went to comfort the other Atletico Madrid players.
………..
Li Qingshan was still standing in the arena, as if he could turn back time.
Until someone patted him on the back.
Messi was standing behind Li Qingshan, he originally wanted to pat Li Qingshan on the shoulder, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it even if he stood on tiptoe.
"Hey, big man, let's swap jerseys."
Li Qingshan smiled reluctantly, then took off his clothes and handed them to Messi, and then took Messi's jersey.
"You're very good, it's really not easy for us to win this game."
Messi took the shirt and said.
Li Qingshan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
As the loser of this game, he originally wanted to leave something cruel behind, such as the green mountains and the green water. But in the end he didn't say anything.
Messi waved at him and turned to leave. If he talks too much, he will inevitably be suspected of turning a triumphant eye on the loser. Anyway, he won the game.
Li Qingshan looked at Messi who was gradually moving away, and suddenly felt that the image of this little man suddenly became taller, like a beating on his heart.
This is probably the momentum of the world's first person. If nothing else, this year's Ballon d'Or winner will be Messi again. In doing so, he is the winner of five Golden Globes. Unprecedented!
Five Golden Globe Awards! Li Qingshan was even a little shaken at this moment.
But his gaze grew firm.
I'm going to beat you! Definitely!
Whether it's the Champions League......... Or the Golden Globes!
…………..
"Do you know where the gap between you and Messi is?"
Raiola didn't know when he had come to the court, he stood behind Li Qingshan and said softly.
Li Qingshan turned his head and looked at his agent.
"In fact, when it comes to personal ability, I don't think you're worse than Messi at all." Raiola didn't wait for Li Qingshan to answer, and continued.
"But I lost, I lost the final." Li Qingshan's voice was a little low, like a wounded beast. In the world of football, there is a saying: "The runner-up is the biggest loser!" ”
Li Qingshan understood the meaning of this sentence more clearly than ever.
At this moment, the whole world knows the loser of Atletico Madrid, and knows the loser of him Li Qingshan!
"No, you didn't lose, it was your team that lost."
"Is this any different?"
"Messi didn't score today, it was Suarez and Neymar who scored." Raiola patted Li Qingshan's shoulder, "Do you know the difference?" Atletico Madrid's squad is significantly behind Barcelona and that's the difference between you and Messi, who is much better than you. ”
Li Qingshan nodded noncommittally: "Then I will become stronger!" ”
A smile flashed in the corner of Raiola's eyes, "You also have your advantages, you are still young, and you have a chance to win the Champions League in the future!" ”
"That's right! And the Golden Globe!! Li Qingshan gritted his teeth and said, as a professional player, who doesn't want to win this heaviest personal honor.
"I must surpass Messi in the number of Ballon d'Or awards in the future!!"
Under Raiola's stunned gaze, Li Qingshan raised his fist and announced!
