Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 69 Suspense is reborn

Messi helped Barcelona exceed the score again in the 83rd minute of the game. The scoreboard score at Berlin's Olympic Stadium changed from 1:1 to 1:2. The Real Madrid fans in the stands seemed to have been hit on the head. Bangzi, a little confused.

Although Real Madrid has its own reversal attributes this season, the nature of the Champions League final is different. It symbolizes the highest glory of European clubs.

Since it symbolizes the highest glory, how could Barcelona fall behind when it is leading?

Besides, Barcelona has fallen into the same pit twice, will it fall a third time?

It is possible, but this possibility is basically negligible.

So Ancelotti, who was standing in the home team coach's command area, frowned and looked at the ugly-looking players on the field with a heavy heart.

The situation is not good for Real Madrid, and the mentality of Real Madrid players on the field has changed again. This...

Ancelotti didn't know what to do, should he make a substitution?

Who to replace?

Now the players on the field are in good competitive condition and there is no obvious physical failure. It obviously doesn't work.

But judging from the mental outlook of the players on the field, it seems difficult to get out of the slump.

what can we do about it?

Ancelotti frowned, his eyes drifting away from the Real Madrid players on the field, until his eyes settled on Tang Zheng, who was wearing the No. 10 jersey.

There is a clear difference between Tang Zheng and other Real Madrid players. He was not affected by the depression of his teammates. Instead, he raised his fists with a calm expression and muttered something, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

"Ouch-ouch——"

The Barcelona fans in the stands were still in high spirits, hysterically making deafening shouts.

In sharp contrast are the Real Madrid fans, whose faces are ugly, as if someone owes them five million.

Of course, there are also many fans who hope for Real Madrid to equalize the score because there is still game time.

Real Madrid only needs to score in the remaining game time, then drag the game into overtime, and then defeat Barcelona in overtime!

However, these fans are also a little uneasy while looking forward to it.

They don't know if Real Madrid will really equalize the score in the remaining game time, because Real Madrid has staged too many such dramas this season.

But just because there are so many plots, it is inevitable that people will have a feeling - must they have exhausted all their luck?

People are often contradictory, and they can't help but feel negative while affirming.

The Dortmund fans who came to Berlin's Olympic Stadium to support Tang Zheng did not have so much ideological baggage. They came here simply to support Tang Zheng, and they also believed that Tang Zheng could finally help Real Madrid equalize the score and then take the lead!

During his four seasons in Dortmund, Tang Zhengke has always been synonymous with miracles.

Even if he moved to Real Madrid, he never lost his magic.

Even if Real Madrid failed to equalize the score in the last minute of regular time, Dortmund, who came to Berlin's Olympiastadion to support Tang Zheng, had not changed their minds. All they were doing now was waiting.

Waiting for the moment when Tang Zheng performs a miracle.

As the game time came to the last minute of regular time, the voice of Central 5 commentator He Wei changed significantly. His excited voice was still mixed with some worries, but he said confidently: "No. I wonder if the fans in front of the TV still remember last season’s Champions League final. Atletico Madrid led Real Madrid until the last minute of stoppage time. To put it bluntly, it was the last ten seconds! What was the result? Tang Zheng Shenbingtian Down, a powerful header dragged the game into overtime! I believe that as long as the game is not over, Real Madrid will hope to score!"

As soon as he finished speaking, in order to balance the emotions of the Barcelona fans in front of the TV, he changed his voice again: "Of course...if Barcelona can seize Real Madrid's eagerness to equalize the score and score a goal, then Barcelona's Champions League championship is certain!"

In fact, both the Barcelona fans in the stands and Barcelona sitting in front of the TV are worried about a repeat of last season's Champions League final.

A one-goal lead is the most unsafe score on the planet!

Barcelona head coach Enrique is also worried about the fans' concerns. Last season's Champions League final was quite a classic.

Atletico Madrid restrained Real Madrid for almost the entire game, but something went wrong in the last ten seconds...

Probably not?

Seeing that there was less than a minute left before overtime, Enrique finally decided to make the second substitution adjustment of the game.

It happened that Neymar's long shot went over the crossbar. Enrique quickly pushed Mathieu forward who was ready, and shouted loudly: "Defend! Defend! If you have a chance, you must press boldly and kill the game!"

Mathieu nodded lightly, then high-fived and hugged Iniesta, who was replaced, ran towards the court, and then made a gesture towards Mascherano.

Enrique's substitution adjustments have appeared many times in Barcelona games this season. Mathieu partnered with Pique to play as a central defender, pushed Mascherano to the midfielder again, and partnered with Busquets to play a double midfielder. Ensure the layering of defense in the middle.

After all, Xavi and the retreating Messi are not good at defensive work. Having Mascherano with rich game experience gives people a feeling of peace of mind.

※※※

Barcelona completed the second substitution adjustment. The fourth official adjusted the electronic card in his hand after the feedback from the referee Cakir was not the time. After confirming that it was correct, he raised his hands high and circled 360 degrees for all the fans to see. .

"Four minutes of injury time!"

However, the fourth official holding up the injury time electronic board does not mean that the injury time has come. The time displayed on the scoreboard is still ten seconds away from the end of regular time.

Casillas was about to take the goal kick when he suddenly heard Tang Zheng's voice: "Igor, give me the ball!"

Tang Zheng retreated to the top of the penalty area. Casillas changed his touch position and pushed a short pass with the arch of his left foot.

Casillas was a little unstable due to his sudden change of footwork, but his balance was good and he did not fall on the grass. Instead, he saw the Barcelona player behind Tang Zheng from the corner of his eye and subconsciously exclaimed: "Be careful. !”

The football rolled toward Tang Zheng, and behind him was Mathieu, who had just come on as a substitute and had not had time to change positions with Mascherano.

The reason why Mathieu followed Tang Zheng closely was because of the important instructions from head coach Enrique.

When Real Madrid is in crisis, there is only one player they rely on most.

Tang Zheng!

Enrique was not dissatisfied with Mathieu's choice, but instead slowly appreciated it.

Tang Zheng suddenly retreated to the top of the penalty area to catch the ball. If Mathieu could steal the football from behind, then...

Excellent opportunity to expand the score!

Tang Zheng, who had a wide field of vision, naturally knew that there was a follower behind him, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Mathieu's position is very deep, and he will be considered unaware of the situation behind him when he is facing his own goal. This means that several players in Barcelona's frontcourt will be waiting for opportunities to counterattack!

Although Tang Zheng cannot see the movements of Neymar, Suarez and Messi, but thinking from their perspective, he can't help but penetrate forward and wait for opportunities.

Even if the football cannot be stopped, it will not bring any loopholes to our defense.

But... Tang Zheng's way of thinking is different.

He thinks further!

Tang Zheng, who retreated to receive the ball, pretended not to know what was going on behind him and kept his eyes fixed on the incoming ball.

"Oh oh oh——"

The Real Madrid fans in the stands screamed out of conditioned reflex.

Mathieu approached Tang Zheng at full speed, waiting for Tang Zheng to take the ball and turn around.

At this time, Neymar and Suarez pounced on Ramos and Varane, who were likely to be passed by Tang Zheng.

The atmosphere of the game was very enthusiastic. Tang Zheng seemed to be waiting for the ball nonchalantly and did not hear the reminder from captain Casillas at all.

However, at this moment, Tang Zheng stretched out his right foot, swung the football kicked by Casillas to the right, and then pushed his left foot hard towards the ground. After feeling the huge reaction force, he twisted his waist and completed the ninety-degree move to the right. Turn around.

Mathieu himself was only about one meter away from Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng stretched his right foot forward, which was equivalent to a distance of one meter, so Mathieu subconsciously stretched his foot without touching Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng was able to complete the two tasks. A 90-degree turn, from facing your own goal to facing away from your own goal.

When Suarez saw Tang Zheng turn around, he subconsciously stopped on the spot and stretched out his left foot to reach the ball. He thought that even if he couldn't kick the ball, he could still hit Tang Zheng.

However, with Tang Zheng's acceleration, Tang Zheng just dodged Suarez's extended left foot and completed the breakthrough.

Xavi had no choice but to move forward. He had not received a yellow card as a substitute, so he could foul.

But instead of dribbling the ball forward, Tang Zheng took advantage of the situation and used his left foot to complete a long pass that was more than 40 meters to the right.

The on-site director immediately switched the camera, and the fans at Berlin's Olympiastadion clearly saw the football flying towards Isco, who had already crossed the center line on the right.

Due to Mathieu's rhythm, Barcelona's midfielders and frontcourt players were positioned higher up, as were the two full-backs who were good at assists. When Tang Zheng got the ball, Isco turned around and started running towards Barcelona's defensive weakness. , which is where the dislocated Alba is.

As a teammate of the national team, Isco is well aware of Alba's strengths and weaknesses.

Pique had to pull out to defend Isco who stopped the football and walked to the wing, but what he was worried about was not Isco who had the ball, but Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo who were running without the ball.

In addition, Modric and Toni Kroos are moving forward to support the attack.

The game had just entered injury time, and they all knew that this was one of the few offensive opportunities!

And with Tang Zheng protecting him behind him, he is extremely safe!

Isco did not stick to the ball. He saw the opportunity for Benzema to advance and pushed a through ball with his right foot. The football rolled towards Barcelona's defensive left rib, which was the space behind Pique.

Mascherano, who was following Benzema closely, did not forget to raise his right hand while pursuing him, complaining that Benzema was offside.

It's a pity that the assistant referee did not hold the side flag high, but followed Benzema along the sideline towards Barcelona's bottom line.

Not offside!

Of course, whether it is offside or not does not affect Barcelona's defense. Pique has a strong sense of position and the space exposed is for the defense of the left rib, not the goal.

Benzema is not the kind of forward with explosive speed, so Barcelona's defense is considered to be the most efficient.

Mascherano has rich defensive experience, following Benzema closely, blocking the inside, forcing Benzema to take the football to the outside.

It is a pity that Benzema did not dribble the ball outside. Instead, he raised his right foot while facing the football and directly completed a wide pass to the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Alves ran towards the football at the same time, but Cristiano Ronaldo was closer to the football because of his position.

If Cristiano Ronaldo is given the ball, it is directly facing the goalkeeper.

Although it can't be said to be a single shot, Alves is on the left side of Cristiano Ronaldo, and Mascherano is far enough away. As long as Cristiano Ronaldo takes the ball and brings it to the right, he will directly face Tersch. Tegan!

So Alves made a prompt decision and pushed hard with his left foot while running. At the same time, his body sank and he used his right foot to trip Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is 30 years old this year and has been playing football for many years. How can he not know what Alves is going to do?

"Oh oh oh——"

Cristiano Ronaldo took off early as screams echoed above Berlin's Olympiastadion.

Alves kept doing nothing, and raised his extended right foot half a minute. Although he did not completely kick Cristiano Ronaldo, he slightly rubbed his heel, causing Cristiano Ronaldo to stagger after landing.

Everyone thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would fall to the ground, but in the end, he rolled and crawled to stop his crumbling body and catch up with the football.

"Single sword!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei changed his tone and shouted.

Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen realized too late that he should have struck because the shooting angle Cristiano Ronaldo had was too great, but he chose to strike, shortening the distance and compressing the shooting angle.

Mascherano's turn to defend was not unpleasant, but Cristiano Ronaldo, who came to the front of the penalty area, shot faster. He noticed Ter Stegen abandoning the goal in advance and passed the penalty spot.

Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was approaching the football, did not raise his head, but raised his right foot and rubbed his toes towards the football.

Mascherano, who rushed at high speed, fell to the ground and put down his shovel half a beat late, and the football jumped high.

Ter Stegen looked at the football flying into the air and couldn't help but cursed: "Shit!"

Cristiano Ronaldo controlled the shot very well, both in terms of height and strength.

Even if Ter Stegen retreated immediately, there was no way to touch the football, so Ter Stegen simply did not retreat, just looked at the football and prayed, hoping that the football would eventually go above the crossbar...

There were other Barcelona fans who had the same idea. Many fans even closed their eyes and prayed to God, hoping that God would be with them.

It is a pity that God seemed to take a nap at this moment and did not hear the believers' wishes.

The football fell with an obvious parabola, then flew into the goal while grazing the lower edge of the crossbar, and then bounced off the ground until it was caught by the snow-white net above the goal, and then fell back to the ground.

"Ouch-ouch——"

Suddenly, the deafening roar of Real Madrid fans erupted in Berlin's Olympiastadion.

The score displayed on the scoreboard also changed from 1:2 to 2:2.
