Chapter Ninety-Six: The Original Dragon Pool

The five-minute break quickly passed, and the players from both sides got up and walked to the pitch to start 30 minutes of extra time.

Simeone stood on the sidelines, hands in his pockets, and looked nervously at the players. It's thirty minutes to decide their fate!

Simeone actually thought about it rationally, the moment Atletico Madrid was drawn, it basically meant that the probability of them wanting to lift the Champions League trophy was reduced to the lowest point - football is not only about mental willpower, but also if there is no physical support, basically no tactics can be played.

The best result he can imagine is that Real Madrid will not be able to score in these 30 minutes, and the game will go to a penalty shootout, leaving the fate to God to decide, so that at least Atletico Madrid still has a 50% probability.

"Friends of the audience, welcome back to the Stadium of Light in Lisbon for the first half of extra-time in the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final. In the 90 minutes of regular time, with Modric's long-range shot in the final moments of the game, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid were tied 1-1 and could not be separated in 90 minutes. If the two sides are still tied after extra time, the game will enter the most tense and brutal penalty shoot-out........."

Real Madrid, with three substitutions in hand, are finally starting to make changes – Marcelo comes on for Coentrão and Isco for Khedira.

One was a substitution at left wing-back, but Marcelo was a very attacking full-back, while Iscoco was a midfielder with a strong attacking tendency, replacing the defensive midfielder with an attacking midfielder.

These two substitutions clearly reflect Ancelotti's intention - to continue to strengthen the attack, as an experienced world famous coach, Ancelotti can easily see Atletico Madrid's fitness problems - in extra time Atletico Madrid will basically not have any attack, in this case, Real Madrid still need to be polite?

Before the start of extra time, there is also a side-picking ceremony.

In the end, captain Godin lost the pick, but won the tee-off.

Li Qingshan stepped on the ball at his feet, and when he heard the referee's whistle, he passed the ball back to Raul Garcia, but soon, Raul Garcia passed the ball back to him!

Li Qingshan is indeed the only attacker of Atletico Madrid, under Simeone's instructions, Atletico Madrid has done a thorough job - even Raul Garcia is not ready to pass the half!

Li Qingshan turned to dribble the ball, and due to the lack of support, he had to carry the ball forward alone.

Real Madrid was taken aback by Li Qingshan's actions.

What is this kid going to do?

Original Longtan?

Ridiculous, right?

In the past, Li Qingshan rarely carried the ball forward by himself, because he knew very well that he was not good at this aspect.

As soon as Isco came on, Modric moved to the central midfield position and acted as a playmaker at the back.

Seeing Li Qingshan dribbling forward, Modric posted it as soon as possible.

Facing Modric who came up to defend him, Li Qingshan held back a glance at the situation before and after, the Real Madrid players around him had already come up, and Li Qingshan had not many options now.

Li Qingshan's heart is horizontal, and he plans to go all the way to the dark!

Modric rushed up with the intention of breaking the ball, as an opponent in the same league, Modric knows Li Qingshan's characteristics very well, and in the face of Li Qingshan's dribbling, he is confident that he can steal from his feet.

He saw Li Qingshan raise his right foot and shift his center of gravity to the left.

The intent is too obvious!

Modric pouted with some disdain. Directly stretched out a kick, intending to break the ball, which Cheng thought that at the moment when he stretched out his foot, Li Qingshan's center of gravity quickly switched, and such a tall big man made such a rapid change of center of gravity so quickly that everyone did not expect it.

Including Luka Modric. This Croatian was not too good at defending in the first place, and he was also deceived by Li Qingshan.

In the previous games, it was rare to see Li Qingshan make a feint, but I didn't expect him to do it for the first time this time, and the effect was very good!

Li Qingshan flicked the outside of his right foot, and broke through from the right side, and when Modric adjusted, he was already in a weak position!

Let the opposing striker face his own back line head-on, Modric will not let this happen, he decisively started after occupying a weak position, grabbed Li Qingshan's jersey, and was ready to drag Li Qingshan, even if it was at the cost of a yellow card.

The referee had already put the whistle on his mouth at this moment, ready to blow a foul, but at this moment, Li Qingshan landed on the ground in a few steps, and Modric's small body grabbed him, and he was immediately rid of him.

Li Qingshan continued to move forward with the ball and rushed towards Real Madrid's penalty area.

To say that Li Qingshan doesn't know any dribbling skills, that's not necessarily true, he has been training in the football training camp for two years, and he has still practiced this technique!

Li Qingshan strode forward with the ball!

"Li Qingshan has broken through!! Modric couldn't even stop Li Qingshan's forward dribbling! ”

"But he soon faced Real Madrid's centre-back Raphael Varane!"

In fact, past Modric, Li Qingshan's situation has not improved much - the opponent's defense is still very intact.

Li Qingshan is indeed the original Longtan now - he is the only Atletico Madrid player who has passed half time, and even if he wants to pass the ball, he can't find a pass object.

Li Qingshan didn't mean to slow down, he ran to Varane with the ball!

Carlo Ancelotti was standing on the edge of the field on this side, and he could see that Li Qingshan's dribbling skills were very rough, and he was not at all worried that Li Qingshan would pose any threat to Real Madrid - dribbling was definitely not Li Qingshan's specialty.

And when he saw the reaction of the other Atletico players, Ancelotti was even more convinced - if there was no other way, would the tough Simeone allow the Atletico players to do so? Since Atletico Madrid is determined to defend, then he doesn't need to be polite, and he can continue to think about strengthening the attack!

Successfully passing Modric has boosted Li Qingshan's confidence, and he is about to face Varane head-on!

Li Qingshan plans to single out Varane!

Raphael Varane is the same age as Li Qingshan, but he became famous much earlier than Li Qingshan, the central defender has already developed the style of a general at a young age, and his defense is very calm and consistent.

Li Qingshan planned to repeat his old skills, but in front of the genuine central defender, Li Qingshan's skills were still a little rougher, and he failed to take advantage of the ball.

His feint was spotted by Varane, and the young French centre-back stepped forward decisively and stabbed the ball at Li Qingshan's feet out of the touchline.

"Li Qingshan created Longtan and dribbled the ball to Real Madrid's half, but dribbling is obviously not what he is good at, and his feints failed to deceive Varane and was easily destroyed."

"None of the other Atletico Madrid players came up to support, it seems that Simeone is determined to defend!"

"It's just that Li Qingshan is not a center forward who is good at dribbling, let him carry the ball forward, this kind of thing is too difficult for him."

The commentators gave their opinions, and Atletico Madrid, who had won a throw-in, finally had a second man pass the half-time - Raul Garcia came over to serve the touchline ball.
