Ball king grower

Messi stood on the penalty spot.

Casillas took a deep breath.

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil was a nightmare for him. In those two group matches, he conceded a total of seven goals and was even thought to never recover.

At that time, Real Madrid had already announced that they would not renew Casillas' contract. Casillas' whereabouts became the most important thing for Real Madrid fans during those days.

But there is no doubt that everyone feels that Casillas is old and exhausted and cannot continue to play. His strength is declining rapidly.

However, at that time, Lippi's arrival retained Casillas. At that time, Lippi told the club's senior management that he needed an experienced goalkeeper.

The arrival of Lin Yu completely inspired Casillas' fighting spirit to win, because he was still the captain at the time. In order to convince the players, he had to perform better than Lin Yu, so he seemed to be at his lowest point.

Suddenly, he found his confidence again.

Although the captain was later handed over to Lin Yu, Casillas had another goal, which was to concentrate on standing on this last duty.

Today, facing Messi's penalty kick, Casillas is full of confidence!

Barcelona's sudden attack in this game gave Real Madrid the feeling of making a mistake in the middle of the game. Now the opponent seized a penalty kick opportunity, and Ramos was also sent off with a red card. This is definitely a serious blow.

No one blames Ramos, because if Ramos didn't foul, the goal would have been scored. Now a penalty kick is awarded. At least there is a glimmer of hope.

Everyone understands what will happen if Barcelona changes the score to 3:1 with less than twenty minutes left in the game. In that case, not only will Real Madrid lose today's game, but they may even lose themselves.

This situation is beyond redemption, falling into a kind of decadence that is hard to explain.

When Ramos came off the field, he patted Casillas on the shoulder and said: "Old captain, it's up to you! In my eyes, you will always be the invincible Saint Casillas!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and the whole stadium was peaceful. Barcelona fans did not dare to make a sound because they were afraid that their voices would affect Messi's free throw.

Messi runs and shoots!

"Holy - Cassie -!"

"He did it. He saved Messi's penalty!"

Messi's shot was too focused on the angle, which allowed Casillas to grasp the direction he wanted to shoot, and saved the ball like a swift leopard.

"It's not over yet!"

Messi's reaction was not unpleasant. When Casillas saved the ball, Messi hurriedly went up to prepare for a follow-up shot. The ball was flying towards him. He had the confidence to succeed in the follow-up shot, even if Casillas

No matter how powerful he is. After all, he is old and cannot react so quickly.

But when Messi never expected that his kick failed to hit the ball, it actually hit someone.

"Lin Yu! Lin Yu protected the ball!"

Lin Yu had no effect in saving the penalty kick. He could only pray for Casillas to show his power, but when the penalty kick was saved, it would be different.

In the first moment, he risked being kicked hard by Messi. He protected the ball and then made a clearance with an overhead kick.

While he was making a clearance, Benzema was already running. This was not just a clearance, but also a counterattack.

The referee was originally going to give Messi a card, but when he saw Real Madrid's counterattack opportunity, he did not stop the game. He could make up for it after the yellow card, but let Real Madrid finish this attack.

I don't know if it was intentional or luck, but Lin Yu's kick just happened to penetrate Barcelona's defensive line, allowing Benzema to successfully counter offside. Almost in a flash, Barcelona's penalty kick opportunity became a Royal.

Madrid's one-on-one chance.

"Counterattack——! Real Madrid still has a chance!"

"Good goal! It's not offside at all. Can Benzema score this single goal? If he scores, this game will be worth watching!"

"Benzema——! Benzema——! Come on——!"

Real Madrid's commentators became excited, and each of them seemed to have gone crazy suddenly, turning from complete despair to ecstasy.

The few Real Madrid fans in the stands were also excited. They thought the end of the world was coming, but they didn't expect it would be a great time. This was definitely an excellent opportunity, it was simply great.

"Come on! Benzema, don't waste this opportunity!"

"Speed! Speed!"

Behind him, Hummels and Pique were chasing Benzema desperately. Although they didn't know if they could catch up, at this time, they had no time to think too much. They couldn't let Benzema finish this comfortably.

Just one shot.

…

At this time, Zidane on the sidelines and all the Real Madrid players and coaching staff on the bench stood up. They stretched their necks, leaned forward, and stared at Benzema.

On the other side, Klopp and the Barcelona players were also extremely nervous, because they all knew that if this one ball was thrown, it might change the game.

If this goal is not scored, then Real Madrid's morale cannot be fully improved, and Barcelona still has the opportunity to expand the score. Even if the score is not expanded, there is no problem in maintaining this score until the end of the game.

But if this goal is scored, it will be completely different. A goal may greatly improve the morale and fighting spirit of the Real Madrid team. By that time, Barcelona may not be able to stop it.

Why did their two goals happen? It's not because they are so good, but because Real Madrid's mistakes have sapped their own fighting spirit and morale. That's their own fault.

Although this was a single shot, Hessey, Lin Yu, and Pogba did not stop to watch the excitement, they were also running.

As a professional player, what they have to do is to be vigilant at all times. They think very simply. If Benzema can't score the goal, they can still make up for it. But if he scores, it's just a waste of energy.

, it’s still worth it.

At this time, no one cares about Lin Yu, Hessey and Pogba. They put all their energy on Benzema. It seems to the Barcelona players that as long as Benzema is stopped, this attack will be considered.

disintegrated.

Pique was running and found that he couldn't catch up with Benzema, so he tried to tackle Benzema. Even if he got a red card, he wanted to stop Benzema. Unfortunately, Benzema was not as fast as Bale.

Lin Yu, but he was also dissatisfied with his speed, and Pique's shovel made no sense.

Now everyone in Barcelona can only place their hopes on Hummels and Ter Stegen, hoping that they can make a successful interception.

…

Ter Stegen has already walked out of the goal range, because theoretically, the closer the distance between the goalkeeper and the player holding the ball, the larger the defensive area, and the more difficult it is to score a single goal.

But he can't leave the goal too far, because that may cause the player with the ball to choose to lob. Then he can only stare.

How to maintain a very reasonable distance, which can not only expand the defensive area, but also prevent the opponent from succeeding in lob shots, this is a question that a top goalkeeper should think about.

Although Benzema has good breakthrough ability, at this time, the best choice is to shoot when he is still far away from Ter Stegen, because he does not dare to slow down. There are people following him, Hu Mei

Les is always chasing after him. If he is a little slower, the defender may steal the ball.

He didn't dare to rashly pass the goalkeeper. Because that was too risky, so calmly shooting the ball was the best option.

"Shoot!"

Benzema simply chose to shoot, but he still underestimated Hummels' ability. Hummels never took a shot rashly, and at this moment, when he saw Benzema planning to shoot, he

He threw his whole body out and used the turf to slide a certain distance, and happened to hit the ball.

Just touched it a little bit.

But just this little bit caused Benzema's shot to go awry. Ter Stegen punched the ball away with his fist.

"Oops, I missed the mark with one sword! Now we're in trouble!"

"Benzema, you can't waste this opportunity!"

"Holy shit, Hummels is so strong that he can even touch this?"

While the commentators and fans were still immersed in the reality that the ball was saved by Ter Stegen, another change occurred on the field.

"No, it's not over yet, it's not over yet!"

Why had Lin Yu been running before and didn't say that he stopped to watch the excitement after seeing Benzema's solo shot? That's because he had been fully prepared. What if the goal didn't go in? He had to

Just do something.

Ter Stegen's ball was smashed out. The ball flew very high and seemed to go directly over Lin Yu's head.

At this time, Lin Yu's position was about thirty meters away from the goal. After all, no matter how fast he was, he had to catch up from inside his own penalty area. It was already good to be able to reach this position.

He jumped high into the air.

"What? Heading the ball from this position? No matter how good the header is, it's impossible to score. It's better to pass the ball."

When the commentators discovered that Lin Yu actually jumped up and headed the ball, they all thought that Lin Yu was joking.

Yes, heading the ball from a distance of thirty meters is indeed nonsense. Even Lin Yu cannot score a goal from that distance.

But what he wants to do is not head the ball.

I saw him leaping high, stopping the ball that was about to fly over his head, and then the moment he landed, he suddenly volleyed with his left foot.

These two actions were done in one go, without any pause in between, giving no opportunity for the opponent's players to defend at all.

The ball shot up, a half-high ball, flew over Ter Stegen's head, then hit the post hard and bounced into the goal.

At this time, Ter Stegen was still on the ground and was getting up. He couldn't do anything at all.

He looked back and saw that when the ball hit the crossbar, he was still imagining that the ball could fly out of the baseline. Unfortunately, the reality was not as beautiful as he imagined. The ball fell firmly into the goal, and even

It didn't pop up again.

Real Madrid fans are excited, Real Madrid players are excited, and Real Madrid commentators are also excited.

Lin Yu opened his hands and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking disdainful of the world. I'm so awesome! If you don't accept it, do it!

Benzema was still upset because he failed to score a single goal. Now when he saw Lin Yu's successful follow-up shot, he was so happy that he ran over and pressed Lin Yu to the ground. His face was twisted with excitement.

, full of ecstasy.

Immediately afterwards, Pogba also rushed over and pressed forward.

One, two, Real Madrid players were excited.

After all, I suddenly climbed up from the edge of the cliff, and not only that, I also picked up a million lottery tickets. Who can be unhappy about this?

One minute ago, Messi was standing on Real Madrid's penalty spot preparing to take a penalty kick, but a minute later, Lin Yu was celebrating crazily in Barcelona's half. Football is so magical.

…

"Lin Yu! It's Lin Yu again! As expected of Mr. Key!"

"If you don't know the key to Lin, watching all the football games will be in vain!"

"He completed a wonderful goal with an imaginative move. He once again blocked Barcelona's attempt to win. Just a minute ago, Barcelona was so close to victory and so close to success, but

One minute later, everything changed, as if the dream suddenly turned into a nightmare, and the beauty turned into a painting. With that feeling, the Barcelona players would probably be depressed to death." (To be continued...)
