Chapter 226: Keane's Red! The red of the old thunder!!
After a short break, the second half of extra time began quickly. As soon as the second half of extra time began, Manchester United began to defend in full force, and it seemed that Ferguson was planning to drag the game to a penalty shootout. However, he thinks so, and it depends on whether Lao Lei and Porto's players disagree. In the second half of extra time, as soon as Porto came up, they changed the style of seeking stability in the first half and began to increase their attacking efforts.
In the 4th minute of the second half of overtime, Lao Lei received a pass from Deco, directly pulled the ball and turned to accelerate, leaving Keane, who was slow to react due to physical reasons, behind him. Kean looked at Lao Lei's distant figure, and a trace of loneliness rose irrepressibly in his heart, since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. But then this loneliness disappeared without a trace, and Keane still had the dream of holding the Big Ear Cup with his own hands, and now was not the time to give up lightly, he bit his lip and rushed forward. The pain in his mouth and a hint of blood gave him a trace of strength and followed behind Lao Lei.
Soon after throwing off Keane, the retreating Ronaldo came up to meet him. Although Ronaldo's physical intelligence has nothing to say, his defensive talent is really not worth mentioning compared to his offensive talent. Facing Ronaldo who stretched out his feet, Lao Lei let his defense pass his defense with a simple heel knock and changed direction, and he was directly ready to go to the bottom. Immediately after playing a simple one-two with Del Lai, who came to answer, Lao Lei got a cross near the baseline.
Originally, he wanted to knock it back to Dellai, but his idea didn't work out. Because Keane, who returned to the defense in time, used a big sliding tackle that fell to the ground in the penalty area to pass the ball to Lao Lei. Took the lead in tackling the baseline and ruined the pass. Old Ray looked at Keane, whose chest was rising and falling violently. I suddenly had an idea in my heart, I must win. Be sure to win against such opponents. But Keane was not very happy at this time, he had cramps. At the age of 33, after playing such a high-intensity game for such a long time, it is not easy to hold on to it until this time.
However, he could only continue to persevere. Because Manchester United no longer have a substitution, he has to stick with it in order not to leave the team with one less player. Immediately after, Porto saw a corner. It was snatched to the first drop point by Lao Lei, but unfortunately Lao Lei deviated the football. Although he has heading skills, it is a pity that because he has not practiced heading for a long time, his head ability has not improved compared to before, and even slightly decreased. The ability value given by the system is not fixed, once Lao Lei is not trained and maintained, it will decline after a long time. And Lao Lei's header is like that.
At this time, Lao Lei must have some regrets in his heart, why didn't he practice heading more. Because this opportunity is so good, Keane who is guarding him should be due to the leg cramp just now. couldn't jump up at all, so that Lao Lei behind him easily got the first landing point, if he could be right. It would have been a very dangerous header. But it's useless to regret it now, after all, the game is going on. It's better to think of other ways to do it.
In the following game time, Old Ray found out that Keane was not by his side. The player who defended himself was replaced by Phil Neville, the younger brother of the Neville brothers. Keane completely retreated to the penalty area and stayed in front of the goal, and it seemed that he knew that if he continued to follow Lao Lei, he would definitely not hold out until the end of extra time. Since it was Phil Neville who was replaced in the second half, he still had enough body to keep up with the old thunder at this time.
However, his defense and Keane's defense are completely two concepts, and Lao Lei knew where the gap between the two people was as soon as he came into contact with him. Compared with Keane, Phil Neville's defense is fierce and fierce, but he is not at the same level as Keane in terms of consciousness. Phil Neville is known as an all-round player, but being all-round on the football field often means mediocrity, after all, it is not often that there are figures like the football emperor Beckenbauer. At least Phil Neville is not such a person, otherwise he would not have lost his place in Manchester United's main squad.
Since his body is abundant, it is necessary to combat his lack of consciousness with cooperation. In the 8th minute of the second half of extra time, after Lao Lei received a pass from Deco, the two immediately completed the switch. And Lao Lei also immediately pulled the football behind him, followed by a heel knock, and handed the football to Deco, who was diagonally inserted in the direction, which was something that Phil Neville didn't realize, or his thinking couldn't keep up with. And because Keane retreated into the box, Manchester United's blocking ability at the edge of the penalty area was greatly weakened, which allowed Deco to effortlessly push the ball directly into the front of the big penalty area.
Facing Silvestre, Deco stabbed the ball to the feet of Dellai, who swam into the box, and Dellay did not stick to the ball, and blocked it backwards, making it to the feet of Lao Ray, who was inserted in front. Lao Ray buckled the heel of his right foot and gave way to Phil Neville's lower foot. Just as he was about to adjust a few steps to shoot from a distance, Phil Neville made a tactical foul, and his right foot could not trip the football, but he could trip over Ray's right foot and trip Ray to the ground.
The rain was dripping, and at this time it was already drenched Lao Lei's jersey. Lao Lei wiped the rain that was already left to his brows, looked at the dense Manchester United penalty area, and thought about dealing with this free kick in this way. Due to the rainy weather, there is no doubt that shooting directly is a good choice, but at this time, Lao Lei is no longer sure whether his calves can still provide enough explosive power if he exerts his strength on the spot.
Looking at the Manchester United four-man wall standing in front of him, Lao Lei took a few steps back, leaving a distance to run. With the referee's whistle, Lao Lei chose to rub the football with his right instep and let the football fly to the goal with an inner arc. It was a pass that found the back post, and at the back post opportunist Dellay found the opportunity with his keen sense of smell. He jumped? A volley that sent the ball into the far corner of the goal. Howard, on the other hand, reacted quickly, but the slippery soccer ball was another stunt for his butter hand, and the ball passed through his hand and continued towards the United goal.
Just as the Porto fans were ready to celebrate, United's number 16 flashed again at a crucial moment. Keane used a sliding tackle to the ground to turn the ball that was about to enter the goal. Ticked out. Then, Giggs in front of goal immediately made a big foot. Drove the ball off the sideline. Keane was his own cousin, killing a good chance for Porto to come close to a stunner.
"Keane! Roy Keane!! Our Captain. Saved us again! That's why Keane can be the legendary captain of Manchester United! He has always led us forward and has always stepped up to the plate at critical moments!! There is only one Keane in the world!! Keane's save in front of the door was an immediate succession of praises for him. And the frightened Manchester United fans also shouted Keane's name loudly, loudly singing a self-composed song with only one lyrics, "There is only one Keane!" Oh come on, oh come on, there's only one Keane! ….”
But their heroes are not having a good time at this time. As a result of this, Keane cramped again. He collapsed in front of goal and couldn't get up again, and the referee had to stop the game and let the Manchester United team doctor come in for a brief treatment. A little later, the United team doctor diagnosed that he would not be able to continue playing. However, the team doctor's decision was vetoed by Keane himself. He was back on the pitch again, and the position became that of the goal post. He's going to lean on the post and move on to the rest of the game.
Keane's expression was encouraged by the applause of all the fans at the Schalke Stadium. The meaning of football at this time. It's no longer just about winning or losing. Although Porto fans will still boo Keane once the game starts, so what's the matter?
Standing dead man! This is the evaluation of Keane by Lao Lei in his heart at this time. After taking a deep look, Lao Lei turned his head. It's time to get back to playing. For Lao Lei, such an opponent must be defeated in an official match. If it's a penalty shootout, it's missing a lot of meaning. I'm going to finish before the penalty shootout. This is the unshakable thought in Lao Lei's mind at this time.
Keane's appearance once again stirred up the blood of all Manchester United players. Although Manchester United's defence has been shaky on several occasions. But every time it was hard to get through, it just didn't allow Porto to score. By the time the game was played, every player on the field could already be described as disheveled or sloppy. The jersey that was completely soaked in the rain exacerbated the physical exertion of the players. At this time, Lao Lei was already panting in his chest, and his feet were already a little vague and weak.
The time slowly came to the 13th minute of the second half of extra time, and the two teams still did not break the deadlock. The managers of both sides are already preparing for the penalty shoot-out. And the stands were already quiet, and all the fans were nervously watching the game, forgetting to sing and boosing.
At this time, Lao Lei, Deco, and Alberto were at the front of the penalty area, and the three players with the most outstanding skills in Porto played a delicate cooperation at the front of Manchester United's penalty area. And Lao Lei took the ball directly and entered the penalty area.
Facing the heavy pace of Sylvester, Lao Ray bit the inside of his mouth, forcibly braked sharply, and in a Marseille maneuver, he bypassed him and faced Howard directly. Keane, who was leaning against the goalpost at this time, once again struggled with the last bit of strength and rushed out. A trace of pain in his mouth gave Lao Lei temporary strength, and he held his breath and came to a Marseille maneuver in the opposite direction again. At this time, Keane has no way, he has no way to move sideways.
Lao Lei's two consecutive Marseille slaloms also gave him a chance to go single. At this time, Howard was also shaken by Lao Lei's second Marseille slalom, and the soft turf under his feet made him soft due to the rain, and he lay on the ground, and Lao Lei faced an empty Manchester United goal.
At the last moment, use two Marseille slaloms to connect the two to complete the final solo ride and kill the opponent. If it were complete, it would undoubtedly be a goal that will go down in history and be forever revered by posterity. However, at this moment, God seems to favor the artistic beauty of defects, and Old Thunder fell to the ground, not because he made a mistake, but because someone pulled him down, it was Keane. Keane, who fell to the ground, used his right hand to grab Old Ray's right ankle.
Yellow card, two yellows and one red, then a penalty, the script went on as usual. Keane handed his captain's armband to Phil Neville, and then walked off the pitch and into the tunnel with the help of the team doctor. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word. Old Ray looked at the back of the number 16 on his face, and he wondered if Keane's purpose in doing this was to leave Manchester United with its last chance of life, or whether he didn't want to witness Manchester United's defeat with his own eyes.
Keane's faltering back was full of loneliness. He kept his head down, not letting the camera catch his expression. Looking at his back, a word appeared in Lao Lei's mind, ending hero!
The penalty was undoubtedly given to Lao Lei, the 22-year-old young player.
The United fans were shrill boos in an attempt to add pressure to Ray, but it was more like the last wail before he died.
Lao Lei listened to the sound of his heart beating vigorously with "bang".
He took a few big breaths of relief and calmed his violently agitated chest.
With the referee's whistle, there were no surprises.
After the run, he fired a powerful volley and the ball went straight to the top right corner.
Howard didn't have any idea.
Facing the sound of football entering the net, the Schalke Stadium began to boil! Porto is starting to boil!!
And Manchester, began to be silent!!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! No surprises! No accidents!! The Big Ear Cup is ours!! Our!!! Thunderhorse! Reima!! There is only one Remaia! There will always be only one Remaiya!! Forever... Far only...."The Porto narrator's voice was a little stalked, and it was difficult to control his excitement.
Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, threw the tactical board on the ground.
"Go to the Tamad penalty shootout! Hahaha!! ”
Cintia in the stands burst into tears uncontrollably!
All the Porto players are like crazy people, rushing towards Lao Lei!
Ray, on the other hand, bypassed his team-mates and rushed to the bench for Manchester United.
Another flying kiss, the kiss of death!
But this time it's a little different.
Because this time it's bloody!
His fingertips are red!!
It's blood-stained!! (To be continued......)
