"This is our last chance, Reima! 21 year old Reima!! Can we, the 21-year-old king, pull us back from the edge of the cliff? Porto's commentator said this sentence almost tremblingly. His hands were clenched into fists, and his whole body trembled a little from the exertion, and the two fists were pale and bloodless. At the same time, in the stands of the Stade Louis II, in the bars of Porto, all the Porto fans had their eyes on the Porto number 13, whose young king became the last straw in their minds, and they hoped that he could become the hero who saved the team.

With a "beep", the referee saw Lao Lei's nod to himself, raised his hand, and blew the whistle in his mouth. Dida immediately focused all his attention on Lao Lei, who had carefully watched the video of Lao Lei's direct free kick before the game. After all, Lao Lei's mastery of the free kick stunt of swinging his leg outside his instep on the spot has long been spread all over the world by the media. For this free kick stunt that has been lost in football since the retirement of football emperor Beckenbauer, it has re-emerged in the rivers and lakes, which has aroused the interest of all fans.

Even Beckenbauer was shocked, and in an interview with the media, the gray-haired football emperor, smiling, happily replied to the reporter's question: "Yes, I have seen the video of his free kick directly on goal." Especially Remaier's direct free-kick at the '02 World Cup, when I saw it, I even thought I had seen me when I was younger. I'm very high-minded. Someone can pass on this technique. I will always keep an eye on this wonderful young man, but it's a pity that he is not German. ”

A quote from Beckenbauer. made Lao Lei's reputation directly rise to a new level, and was directly affirmed by the football emperor. This is not a treatment that everyone has. With this incident, Lao Lei's free kick has also become an offensive means that every team playing against Porto needs to pay attention to. AC Milan also paid special attention to the defense of free kicks before the game, and especially in the critical moments of this kind of final moments, AC Milan's defense paid more attention to it, and the five-man wall was discharged. And Dida's position has also been affected, more biased towards the far corner.

Seeing this situation, Lao Lei exhaled, still did not run, and stood next to the football. Directly waved his right leg. With a "bang" of the right leg touching the football, AC Milan's human wall rose in response, but the football did not fly. This time, Lao Lei chose to make a strange move, it was a low ball, and the football came to a close flight against the turf. The ball passes under the foot of the wall and goes straight to the corner of the goal. In the middle of the soccer game, McCarthy reacted quickly, gave way to the soccer ball, and then passed between the legs of Nesta behind McCarthy. This allowed the ball to pass through the crowd. Dida was also shocked in the face of Lao Lei's direct free kick, and directly made a quick side-to-side pounce, wanting to block the advance of the football. But it's still a step slow. The ball hit the inside of the near post and bounced into the back of the net. 2:2, Lao Lei took an unexpected free kick. A brace saved Porto in the last minute.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ The ball is in! The ball is in!! Draw! Draw!! Porto isn't dead yet! We're not dead yet!! Reima. Our young king, saved us! Clever free kick! Clever!! I want to take off my hat and bow to him!! King! King!! Our Heroes!! “

With Lao Lei's shot into the net. The referee circled his fingers and made a gesture for the ball to go in, and all the Porto fans in the stands and Porto City were boiling. When the miracle, the final lore, really came, all the people's heads went blank, no one knew what to do, they just followed the instinct and jumped, cheered, and embraced. "King! King! Godzilla! Godzilla! King! ...", resounding at the Stade Louis II, over the city of Porto.

Lao Lei saw the ball scored, took off his jersey excitedly, rushed to the stands of the Porto fans, and raised his head to the sky and roared. The taste of escaping death and turning the tide made him drunk and crazy. This is not the first time Lao Lei has tasted this taste, and he doesn't think it will be the last, because he is addicted and can never quit, and he is willing to sink in this taste forever.

The Porto players chased him frantically behind the old Ray, and they chased after their God and Jesus like a bunch of fanatics, and even the 33-year-old goalkeeper Baia ran out of the goal in high spirits and followed the back of the team. After catching up with Ray, McCarthy knelt down in front of Ray, put Ray's foot on his right knee, and made a shoe-shine gesture. Old Ray was surprised at first, but after being stunned for a while, he smiled and happily accepted McCarthy's kindness.

The bench of Porto on the sidelines was also boiling at this time. In front of all the celebrants, Mourinho knelt on the sidelines, waving his arms to the sky and roaring, and the two traces of sliding on the grass seemed to prove that a passionate sliding celebration had just taken place here. The taste of escaping death and returning to the world before the ghost gate closed made the whole Porto team so excited that they lost the ability to think.

Compared to Porto, AC Milan is dead. At the last moment of the victory, he was destroyed, and the psychological blow was the greatest, and Rao is AC Milan is a seasoned player, and he can't accept such a blow at once. Dida, the Brazilian goalkeeper, took out the football from the goal in anger and kicked it into the air, venting his frustration. At the same time, the other AC Milan players were all depressed, standing on the pitch with blank eyes, as if they had lost their ability to think. Carlo Ancelotti also froze on the sidelines, unable to accept the situation for a while.

In the end, it was only after Maldini's protest that the referee stepped in to stop the celebration on the Porto side and pulled the still unsatisfied Porto players back to the pitch. By the time the game resumes, the game time is actually until the end of the regular game. On the sidelines, the fourth official played a sign with three minutes of stoppage time. However, at this time, AC Milan's players were depressed. It's simply not possible to concentrate all your attention on the game. On the Porto side, at this time, it is naturally the whole line to defend. In order to at least try their best to drag the game to overtime. In this way, the three minutes of stoppage time were almost passed in the inaction of AC Milan. It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle that AC Milan's players reacted.

Players from both sides come to the sidelines to rehydrate, and players with poor body also have to receive a massage from the masseur to relieve cramps. At this time, on the side of Porto, Mourinho was shouting orders to Old Ray: "Reima, defend." Defend for 30 minutes. Do you understand? Drag the game into a penalty shootout. Old Ray looked into Mourinho's eyes, nodded, and signaled that he understood. After the excitement of scoring the equalizer, Lao Lei's heart was raised again. The 10-man defense is already depleting, and the game has been played for 30 minutes at this time, facing AC Milan, which has a strong attack, Porto has only just crossed the first hurdle if they want to win, and there are more dangers ahead. At this time, go all out to defend back. Taking the game to penalties was undoubtedly the best choice.

Soon the game resumed, and Alenichev was substituted for a central defender just after extra time began. Then Porto were all back to their own half. As for AC Milan, Ancelotti obviously expected this kind of scene for a long time and said nothing. So far in the game, the strange moves that both sides should have made have come out, and the rest depends on the table of the players on the field. See who can survive whom.

As soon as the extra time began, it was immediately in a state of white heat. The two sides were close to each other in the Porto half, and the physical confrontation never stopped. Porto's defence was like a small boat, looking shaky in the face of AC Milan's tidal wave of non-stop attacks, but Porto's players gritted their teeth and held on. Lao Lei was in his own half, gritting his teeth, and continued to run, he could already feel his calves and stomach trembling. And his teammates have also had cramps one after another, but none of them took the initiative to apply for leave. The fighting spirit of the players infected the fans in the stands, and the Anthem of Porto began to sound, and the fans expressed their support for the players in this way.

In the face of Porto's kraft candy-like defense, AC Milan's attack was repeatedly hindered and unable to make a difference. Whenever an AC Milan player was about to shoot, there were always two or three Porto players who pounced on him as if they were blocking the gun. The first half of extra time ended with Shepchenko's powerful shot from inside the box over the crossbar at the referee's whistle. The players of Porto all dragged their bodies to the sidelines, and everyone was supported by their mental will. At this time, Mourinho didn't say anything, just handed water to the players on the side, and then pressed the feet of some players to relieve cramps.

After the start of the second half of extra time, it was destined to be another 15 minutes of fierce battle. In the sixth minute of extra-time in the second half, Mourinho gave his last substitution. One minute later, Carlo Ancelotti also gave his last substitution, with Inzaghi coming on for Gattuso. Inzaghi was injured unexpectedly before the game, and Ancelotti originally didn't want Inzaghi to play, but considering that time was running out and the penalty shootout later, the sharpest assassin under him was allowed to play.

Fast forward to the 118th minute of the game, when AC Milan finally broke through the defence of the Porto defenders, who were already exhausted and couldn't run, and just as Inzaghi was about to enter the box, Ferreira had to tackle Inzaghi with a kick. And the price was a yellow card, two yellows and one red, Ferreira was also sent off, and Porto had to play with nine men. Ferreira was mentally prepared for this result, and when he saw that the referee did not award a penalty, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought about walking to the sidelines. He was greeted by applause from the Porto fans and Jose Mourinho.

Although the AC Milan players protested that it was a penalty, the referee insisted on his own and it was a free-kick from the edge of the penalty area. On the big screen at the scene, it was also clear that Ferreira's foul was indeed outside the penalty area. However, in the end, Ancelotti still received a yellow card for protesting, and if the assistant coach hadn't pulled him away in time, it is estimated that he would probably have received a yellow card.

AC Milan missed the chance to equalise after Andrea Pirlo's free-kick flew over the crossbar. Two minutes later, in the reluctant eyes of the AC Milan players, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of extra-time, and the game was about to go to a brutal penalty shootout.

At this time, on the sidelines, the managers of both sides are urgently arranging the selection and sequence of penalties for the penalty. For Porto, Lao Lei, Deco, McCarthy, Maniche and Carvalho were the finalists. And Lao Lei became the candidate for the final round of free throws after fighting with Mourinho. Carvalho, McCarthy, Maniche and Deco are ranked 1st to 4th at one time. They are receiving emergency massage from the team doctor to prevent cramps from affecting the quality of the final free throw.

Unlike the penalty takers, the goalkeepers of both sides came to the side. There was no interference with them, two people on the side, one of them not knowing what was muttering in his mouth.

Lao Lei was lying on the grass and receiving a massage from the team doctor.

Although it was difficult to hide the tiredness in his eyes, the desire for victory did not diminish in the slightest.

With his eyes on the sky, he waited for the final battle and judgment. (To be continued......)
