The frightened Dida turned his head and asked Nesta, who was lying next to him, "Did you rub it?" ”

Nesta lifted his left leg up: "It's just the tip of the shoe." ”

Dida breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Stam rushed up and pulled Nesta up from the ground and pulled him directly into his arms: "Xie Lu Xie! ”

It's rare for the Dutch guards to be so emotional.

He certainly has to thank Nesta, and he has to thank him vigorously.

Because if it weren't for Nesta's tackle, if he hadn't rubbed the football, maybe the football would have really flown into the goal!

At that time, he Stam will be the culprit of AC Milan's elimination!

Nesta, who was held in Stam's arms and rubbed his hair vigorously, set his eyes on Rongguang near the bottom line, and he seemed to be stunned.

Can't accept this result, right?

Nesta has seen this scene many times in her career. Losing the game but unwilling to accept the reality......

But this kid is different from those people.

He's really close to rewriting the situation, he's just one step away from being a hero...... Own one of the toes.

What a pity......

Kaka was also hugged hard by Gattuso beside him: "We are the top four!" ”

He roared in Kaka's ear.

Then he threw down Kaka, ran to Pirlo, hugged Pirlo, and continued to shout: "We are the top four!" Thing! ”

Then, he dropped Pirlo and ran to his next teammate.

Pirlo noticed that Kaka was looking at him, and rolled his eyes at Kaka in frustration.

Kaka smiled knowingly.

He was also happy to have made the cut, but everyone expressed their excitement in a different way.

He couldn't learn Gattuso's wild and bold way.

Then he turned his head to look through the crowd.

Eventually, he found the man he was looking for near the bottom line next to his goal.

The man stood still, out of place with the AC Milan players and fans around him.

It's like a photograph in Picasso's abstract painting, abrupt, stiff, and uncomfortable.

※※※

"The attack just now, from the counter-attack to the breakthrough, to the shooting, was perfect."

Glory was stunned, and suddenly remembered Kaka's voice in his ears.

He came back to his senses, his gaze refocused, and fell on the face of the man in front of him.

"But it's a shame......"

Kaka shrugged and pouted.

'The other goal was beautiful. But it's still a pity that your teammates are too far away from you, and they can't help you much. So no matter how hard you try, you can't change the result, we are the winners, we go to the final four, and you ......"

His tone was slightly sarcastic.

"It's a shame......"

He shook his head and sighed as he turned to leave.

For the first time, Glory did not refute Kaka's sarcasm or ridicule him, but stared at Kaka's back.

※※※

"Yes, it did. When Sakae shoots, Nesta's toe must have touched the ...... of the ball."

"What a shame! If Nesta hadn't touched the ball, it's hard to say what would have happened! ”

"Nesta's kick is crucial! He saved AC Milan! ”

……

The TV broadcast is still playing the footage of the most glorious kick just now, and the slow-motion replay from all angles ensures that everyone can see it clearly.

On TV, everyone saw that Nesta's toes were touching the football.

"Werder Bremen are just one toe away from breaking club history and progressing to the last four...... What a shame! Wing was almost able to become the hero who saved Werder Bremen again, making history! But all this ...... It's all a story from another plane......"

※※※

As the AC Milan players cheered and celebrated, Schaaf took to the pitch.

One by one, he comforted the Werder Bremen players he passed.

But instead of going specifically to the frustrated players, he kept walking in one direction.

until he came to the forehead of glory.

He put his arm around the child's shoulder, very hard.

Only at this time can one feel that standing here alone, helpless Glory is still a child.

"I'm sorry, Coach......" Glory whispered over Schaaf's shoulder. If he had been able to shoot a ball without Nesta touching it, the end result might have been different.

"No, Rong, it's me who should say I'm sorry. Rong, you've done well enough. Nothing to be frustrated about. Your performance today is a giant, but unfortunately, Werder Bremen is not a giant...... So I'm sorry ......"

Schauff said in his ear with Glory in his arms.

※※※

Looking at this scene, Molly, who was in the media seat, couldn't help but gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands.

Around her, Chinese journalists were silent.

It stands to reason that a Chinese player who can score 10 goals in a single season in the Champions League should be happy and proud of his performance against AC Milan for such a wonderful performance.

But now, no one wants to talk.

The frustration of failure is so great that they don't want to speak.

They feel unwilling.

For the first time, they felt that Werder Bremen should advance to the last four, because Rong Guang worked so hard and lost the game at the end of the game...... It's not fair!

They believe that as long as the last goal can be scored and the score is 2-2, AC Milan will collapse, and it is not impossible for a morale-boosting Werder Bremen to knock out AC Milan in extra time......

So it's not wrong to say that Glory almost beat AC Milan.

"It's a pity......" After a long time, someone sighed.

※※※

“…… After 93 minutes of intense action, Werder Bremen eventually beat AC Milan 1-0 away, but that didn't change their outcome. In the end, Werder Bremen lost to AC Milan with an aggregate score of 1:2 and was eliminated. Although Werder Bremen were knocked out of the tournament, Glory's performance was impressive, especially in his late moments, which did not score...... But just look at the ecstatic celebrations of the AC Milan players and fans after the game, and you can understand how much pressure the glory has put on them! I can say that Werder Bremen lost the game, but Glory earned respect! ”

This was the report of the match in the Chinese media that appeared in the newspaper the day after the match.

If someone who hasn't watched this game sees these words, maybe they will take a sip: "Bragging again!" Losing is losing, and respect! ”

But anyone who has watched the game will not agree with him.

Because Glory almost killed those Milanese!

In his post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti also admitted he was nervous after Glory's goal. "Rong's goal made the game tough all of a sudden. I had to bring on Kaka and Shepchenko to step up the counter-attack to take the pressure off our backline...... The last ball was torment, and thankfully, we had a reassuring defender, Nesta. ”

Some AC Milan players revealed to reporters that after the game, everyone hugged Nesta one by one in the dressing room to thank him for his toe.

“…… Gattuso even kissed the tip of the shoe. The AC Milan player, who asked not to be named, said with a smile. We survived thanks to Nesta and his shoe. We advised Nesta not to wear the shoes anymore and to put them in a glass box for them...... Ha! ”

The German media also praised Glory's performance.

"If it weren't for Rong, this game wouldn't be worth mentioning. If it weren't for Rong, Werder Bremen's exit wouldn't be worth mentioning. But Xie Lu Xie Rong, he made Werder Bremen's elimination a 'glorious defeat'! …… The game can be divided into two parts, one is before Rong's goal, boring, meaningless, everyone just mechanically waiting for the moment when the result is announced, it is a routine game. But after Rong's goal, the game was suddenly full of suspense...... Everyone's spirits were shaken...... Xie Lu, Xie Rong, on this unusually cold night for German football, you helped us defend the dignity of German football! ”

This is the commentary of the German newspaper Bild, which represents the voice of almost all the mainstream media in Germany.

Prior to that day, Bayern Munich had beaten Chelsea 3-2 at home, but had still lost to Jose Mourinho's Chelsea 5-6 on aggregate and were eliminated from the competition.

No one believed that Werder Bremen could still perform miracles, so Werder Bremen went away with an unpopular image.

But because of the glory, their exit seems less unacceptable......

Even UEFA's official website followed the result of the match as soon as it was over.

The official website published an article with the title: "Unfortunately, the Parrot Legion is only one toe away from the top four!" ”

In the article, the official website affirmed Rongguang's performance, but also regretted that he worked so hard, but still missed the semi-finals.

“…… In terms of the overall strength of the team, AC Milan is far stronger than Werder Bremen, and their promotion is a matter of course. But anyone who watched this game will probably feel sorry for the elimination of Werder Bremen...... But it doesn't matter, everyone believes that Rong will have a great future, and there are not many people who can make the first line of defense of the world so embarrassed! ”

※※※

Glory has been silent since returning from the away game, which has worried Debola - Glory has never been like this since losing games before.

He was even more silent than he was after the first round.

Debora fears that this defeat will completely destroy the glory.

She was also at the scene at the time, and saw the performance of Rongguang's last moment.

When he missed the goal and ran to chase a corner, the referee ruthlessly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Then he froze in place, as if he were a wax figure.

To be honest, it was the first time she had seen this kind of glory.

The glory she had seen before was heartless, carefree, and she didn't know what pressure was, let alone depressed.

But now......

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, seeing this kind of glory, Debora suddenly felt a little heartache. She couldn't help but cover her heart.

Glory......

※※※

The day after the game, Schaaf gave the team a full day off and the players didn't have to train.

In fact, a day off to soothe the injured minds of the players due to being eliminated from the tournament is still too little......

His greatest fear was glory.

At that time, Rongguang's lifeless eyes made him feel cold.

I am afraid that this defeat will deal a huge blow to Rongguang's confidence and fighting spirit.

That will affect the next team to compete for the league title......

※※※

Debora didn't sleep well that night, and as soon as she closed her eyes, all that came to her mind was the look on Rongguang's face at the halftime whistle.

Shocked, incredible, unbelievable, unwilling, frustrated...... These emotions are mixed together to make it difficult to describe.

Every time she sees this kind of glory, Debora can't help but feel a little heartache.

Because she didn't sleep well, she woke up very early.

She wondered if she should take the initiative to ask Rongguang to go out to play once, let him relax and forget about failure for a while, maybe he would be in a better mood.

But when she opened the door of her room, she found that the door of the glorious bedroom opposite was open.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw the empty bed.

Rong went to morning exercise?

She glanced up at the clock hanging on the wall.

It's only half past five!

He didn't get home until one o'clock this morning......

※※※

Glory gritted his teeth and ran wildly in the pitch-black smoothness, and instead of the flat boulevard, he chose the woods.

There was no road, only dense tree trunks, and in order to avoid them, he had to constantly stop and change direction, and go around the woods.

And at his feet...... Even with a football!

In such a complicated terrain, he even has to run with the ball!

Even during the day, the light in the dense woods was dim, let alone the darkest time before dawn.

Without paying attention, Glory crashed head-on into a tree.

He was knocked backwards by the reaction force and fell to the ground solidly.

I don't know where the football is going.

The branches that were gently shaken by him shook off some leaves, and the head and face fell into glory.

The branches shook and made a slight rustling sound, like the whispers of the woods.

"The attack just now, from the counter-attack to the breakthrough, to the shot, was perfect. But it's a pity ......."

'That goal was beautiful as well. But it's still a pity......"

"No matter how hard you try, you can't change the result, I'll go to the semifinals, and you'...... What a pity! ”

Glory clenched his fists hard, slammed it up from the ground, and shook off the fallen leaves on his body.

Again!!

Then he found the ball in the dark, took a deep breath, and continued to sprint with the ball in the dark dense woods!
