Chapter 117: Absolute tie, overtime!

As the 2013-2014 Champions League final reached the end of injury time, the fanatical atmosphere at the Stadium of Light reached its peak, like boiling water, rising one wave after another.

In particular, Courtois subconsciously blocked Tang Zheng's goal-bound header, which brought the fanatical atmosphere at the Stadium of Light to a critical point.

Modric stood in the corner flag area on the right side of Real Madrid's attack. He would take what was probably Real Madrid's last corner kick of the game. Every fan at the Stadium of Light left their seats and stood up, including countless people sitting on the TV. The fans in front of them were all staring at the screen, for fear of missing a shot.

Godin is in hot form this season, and in this game he was even more dominant than anyone else. He repeatedly beat Real Madrid players to complete headers despite being at a height disadvantage.

In addition, the offensive end also helped Atletico Madrid open the scoring.

If the game ends according to the current score, Godin is likely to be named the best player on the spot.

Facing the possibility of becoming the last defensive corner kick of the game, Atletico Madrid defenders agreed with Godin's defensive strategy. He was responsible for marking Real Madrid's most dangerous Tang Zheng, while other players were responsible for marking other Real Madrid players.

When Modric raised his right arm and raised his index finger, Tang Zheng suddenly started and ran from the back of the penalty spot towards the small penalty area. Godin's left hand holding Tang Zheng's hand was not fully exerted for a moment, and Tang Zheng was Zheng broke free.

Originally, he wanted to follow Tang Zheng, but Modric happened to take a corner kick on the right, and Godin made a keen judgment during the move!

Judging from the trajectory of football, it is very likely that the football's landing point will be controlled by himself.

At the same time, the other Atletico Madrid defensive players focused their attention on the Real Madrid players they were defending. Godin did not follow. Tang Zheng, who originally wanted to set up a cover, suddenly had an idea and cleverly went around behind his teammate Ramos. .

Thinking of his various heroic performances in this game, Godin did not analyze the pros and cons, and he had no extra time.

Therefore, Godin took a step back, stood still and stuck in position, preventing Real Madrid player Ramos behind him from getting around to header the ball. Then he saw the landing spot, exerted force with both feet, and jumped up hard on the spot.

He is confident that he can definitely hit the ball!

Tang Zheng, who circled behind Ramos, took a big step forward with his right foot. At the same time, he used the inertia to jump hard and get in front of Godin who was stuck in the position.

"Oops!"

Standing in the command area of ​​the home team coach, Simeone's pupils shrank suddenly and he was shocked.

"Oh oh oh——"

The Atletico Madrid fans behind the goal guarded by Courtois suddenly widened their eyes, their hearts in their throats, and subconsciously made a wave of exclamations like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"Oh-My-God!!" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif looked at Real Madrid's No. 10 who suddenly flashed out in the lower left corner of the broadcast screen. He stood up almost instinctively, supported the commentary box with both hands, and fiercely He said in a long voice: "Tang——"

Many forward-looking commentators had the same reaction, including Central 5 commentator He Wei, who shouted almost crazy: "Tang Zheng unexpectedly got in front of Godin and scored with a header!!"

Tang Zheng jumped high, but the location was far away from the goal, and his running distance was not enough, so he could not give him enough inertia to complete the header.

In order to bring extra strength, Tang Zheng naturally opened his arms to maintain body balance. Using his left waist as the axis, he drove the entire body to swing outward from the abdomen. At the same time, his elbows followed the force of the waist and abdomen and extended to his neck, and then his forehead. Aim at the football flying in the air.

An extremely difficult lion's head shake appeared on the broadcast screen!

Although Tang Zheng doesn't have much power to draw on, he has strong energy and can enhance his ability to top the ball by rationally using his body strength.

The trajectory of the football is refracted by external forces and quickly flies to the lower left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Courtois reacted extremely quickly, just as he had blocked Tang Zheng before scoring a goal. His wingspan is his advantage, but the speed at which his body sinks is affected by his height and arm length.

Tang Zheng's header is very powerful and the angle is very tricky, and the football flies from top to bottom. Courtois needs to sink his body to block the ball with his palms.

This takes time.

※※※

Courtois gritted his teeth and tried his best, but compared to the flight speed of the football, it was still half a beat slower.

Godin looked regretful as Tang Zheng dodged in front of him and completed the header. He had the widest field of vision and happened to see the football almost grazing the lower edge of Courtois' right palm and then bounce off the ground. , crashing into the unguarded goal behind him until the snow-white net bound it.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooal——"

Half a second later, German Sky commentator Marcel Leif's deliberately prolonged shout rang out from the commentary box.

"Ouch-ouch——"

Immediately, the sky above the Stadium of Light rang out with a deafening roar from Real Madrid fans and neutral fans.

At this moment, the distant echoing roars of Real Madrid fans can be heard in the squares outside the stadium, the bustling squares in Madrid, the squares outside the Bernabeu Stadium, bars, family communities and other places.

Countless fans who didn't know each other in the stands hugged each other excitedly, raised their arms high, and opened their throats to vent the huge pleasure brought by Tang Zheng's goal.

Tang Zheng, who had scored the goal, immediately held his hands on the grass and staggered to stabilize his body center of gravity. Then he spread his arms and ran all the way to the corner flag area on the right side. He leaned his upper body back and clasped his insteps backwards. The knees are parallel to the front of the instep, and then slide quickly on the grass, leaving two obvious marks.

Modric, who sent the assist, knelt directly on the ground, opened his arms, and hugged Tang Zheng, who scored the equalizing goal.

Behind Tang Zheng, there was a group of passionate Real Madrid players. Like Tang Zheng, they performed a knee-sliding celebration that was full of vent.

In addition, the Real Madrid players with shoulders on their shoulders were equally excited. They sprinted in a straight line with ferocious faces and participated in the team's celebration of equalizing the score.

After all, head coach Ancelotti has experienced great storms. As a player and head coach, he won two Champions League championships with the team respectively. When Tang Zheng equalized the score, he just chewed gum mechanically and raised his arms. He waved vigorously.

Assistant coaches Clement and Zidane were different. They could not suppress the excitement in their hearts at this time. They both jumped three feet high, raised their arms and shouted.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was full of passion and eloquent: "Tang Zheng! It's Tang Zheng again! In the Champions League final last season, it was Tang Zheng who used a kick to beat Real Madrid in stoppage time! A season later , he helped Real Madrid score his tenth goal in the Champions League this season in the final stage of injury time, and Real Madrid came back to life! The suspense of the 2013-2014 Champions League championship is reborn!"

The on-site director gave a close-up of the Real Madrid players celebrating the goal, and then showed a slow-motion replay of the entire goal.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray was excited and exclaimed: "Incredible choice! Even if I were a defensive player, I would never have guessed that Don would sneak around behind him before participating when everyone was watching the ball. Header! And his judgment of where the football will land is really too accurate, without any deviation! Atletico Madrid guarded him the whole game, but they lost their mark on Tang in the last corner kick opportunity, which is a bit inappropriate!"

Commentator Martin Taylor was very excited when he answered: "Don is a big-hearted player who is good at seizing opportunities! As my old friend Andy said, Atletico Madrid's defensive system restricted him for a full ninety-three minutes, no! Nine to be exact. Thirteen and a half minutes, but with just a hint of slack at the last moment, Tang seized the opportunity! He is a natural big-game player! He also gave new knowledge to defensive players around the world. If you want to win! You must concentrate on the game. The full-time whistle sounded! But...is there such a person? Yes! Robot!"

At the end, Martin Taylor made a rare joke.

Immediately, the on-site director meaningfully switched the camera to the rostrum. Real Madrid Chairman Florentino made a rare gaffe. He raised his arms excitedly, and his elbows were almost parallel to the top of his head. This shows that he How excited I am.

In fact, it’s easy to understand if you think about it. Last summer, Real Madrid invested 200 million euros, and the league champion lost to Atletico Madrid with a home and away points disadvantage. If the Champions League champion loses to Atletico Madrid again, his re-election will definitely not be optimistic, and he may even be defeated by his competitors. Impeach.

Tang Zheng's winning goal undoubtedly saved his political and business empire.

Even if Dortmund pays an additional 20 million euros this summer, Florentino will not blink an eye!

If we can finally win the Champions League, any effort will be worth it!

Captain and goalkeeper Casillas was the most excited because Real Madrid lost the ball due to his mistake. Now Tang Zheng's equalizer before the end of the game is undoubtedly equivalent to saving Casillas.

So Casillas ran for most of the stadium, hugging Tang Zheng excitedly, venting something.

※※※

Atletico Madrid coach Simeone stood in the home team coach's command area with mixed emotions. He finally understood why he felt uneasy as the game time shortened.

It turned out that Tang Zheng's goal would come at the last moment of the game.

Just now, Simeone was inciting Atletico Madrid fans to make louder and louder cheers. In the blink of an eye, his disciple Tang Zheng equalized the score with a priceless goal.

As the head coach, he naturally knew that the team's ability to maintain the 1:0 score until the end of stoppage time was already at the end of its strength. Once the game enters overtime, teams with physical problems will inevitably become lambs to be slaughtered.

The players on the Atletico Madrid bench held their heads in their hands, feeling the continuous chants coming towards them. They had a feeling of doubting reality.

This... is unreal!

Because in just half a minute, they can hold up the Champions League trophy, which symbolizes the highest glory of the world's football clubs.

There was still half a minute before the end of the game, but Tang Zheng scored a stunning goal. It was like a blow to the head, and everyone was stunned.

Real Madrid fans and neutral fans at the Stadium of Light were in high spirits. Atletico Madrid fans behaved exactly like the players on the field, lowering their heads and making no sound.

Suffering a decisive draw at the end of stoppage time and being only half a step away from the championship trophy, this feeling was even more uncomfortable than a duck flying into your mouth.

Tang Zheng got up from the grass and did not follow his teammates diagonally toward his own half. Instead, he walked back along the right side of the offensive line.

As the absolute hero of Real Madrid's equalizer, the on-site director's close-up shot was aimed at Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng, who was watching the broadcast, walked to one of the stands, opened his arms, and hugged Tang's father, Tang's mother, who was crying with joy, and his girlfriend Zhao Lina.

Central 5 commentator He Wei changed his voice: "Tang Zheng's performance shocked the audience, but he was able to equalize the score at the end of the game and chose to share this joy with his family. It is not difficult to see that he is a very family-oriented person..."

Not long after, the referee Kuppers sounded the signal to restart the game.

But after Adrian kicked the ball to David Villa, he quickly blew the full-time whistle, which means that the regular time of the 2013-2014 Champions League final is over, and the two sides will prepare for the first and second half for a total of 30 minutes. of overtime.

Before the start of overtime, both sides are given a five-minute rest period.

During this period, Real Madrid captain Casillas and Atletico Madrid captain Gabi came to the referee Kuppers again to guess the side for overtime.

In the end, Atletico Madrid won the right to pick the edge and Real Madrid won the right to kick off.

The on-site director's close-up shots were switched one after another, and the fanatical atmosphere at the Stadium of Light had declined to a certain extent, but the Real Madrid fans were still in high spirits and dancing.

There were groans in the area where Atletico fans were, but there are also fans with strong hearts among Atletico fans. They have full confidence in the team coached by Simeone.

The league champion can defeat Real Madrid, and the Champions League champion can still win!

What is an equalizer?

Isn’t there thirty minutes of overtime?

At this moment, both Ancelotti and Simeone felt nervous to varying degrees, especially Simeone.

You must know that before Tang Zheng equalized the score, he kept using body movements on the sidelines to incite the excitement of Atletico Madrid fans, and Tang Zheng's equalizing goal undoubtedly gave him a loud slap in the face.

The thirty-minute overtime in the first half and second half is very difficult for Atletico Madrid now. The players' physical fitness has declined very obviously. I don't know whether they can last through the overtime.

The team completed three substitution adjustments early, which means that the remaining thirty minutes of overtime can only be completed by existing players. This is a big difficulty for the current set of players who have played three games throughout the season. .

Of course, Simeone's worries are not unreasonable.

The muscle injuries of Diego Costa and Felipe are caused by the fatigue of the game. If another player gets injured in the future, he will have to face the problem of playing more with less.

Thinking of these headaches, Simeone sighed again, but he quickly realized that this kind of negative emotions could not be expressed. Once it was transmitted to the players, the Champions League championship would be completely gone!

Therefore, Simeone continued to perform self-psychological suggestions, inciting the players to gradually sink their desire to win, and strive for the final overtime.

At the other end, Ancelotti in front of the visiting team's coaching bench arranged the game tactics for the first half of overtime step by step.

The players took the time to lie on the ground and receive varying degrees of massage from substitute teammates and team doctors to relieve physical fatigue.
