Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 70 Everyone wants to win!

Cristiano Ronaldo was silent for 90 minutes. In the first minute of stoppage time, he received a pass from Benzema and faced the ball forward. He narrowly avoided Alves' inevitable foul and then very Calmly choosing a lob, the football flew over the head of Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen and fell towards the unguarded goal.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

Berlin's Olympiastadion rang out with deafening shouts from Real Madrid fans, which quickly extended from several stands to the entire stadium.

Coupled with those Real Madrid fans who did not buy tickets to watch the game in the square outside the stadium, the momentum reached an incredible level.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, seemed particularly excited in the fanatical atmosphere. He opened his arms and ran all the way. He leaned back his upper body, bent his knees forward, tightened his insteps and buckled back. First, he started to slide and kneel on the right rib of his own team. He celebrated in style, then quickly stood up and raised his two index fingers in the direction of the sluggish Barcelona fans unruly, pointing to the ground.

The meaning expressed is very obvious, that is, as long as I am here, you can't even think about winning!

"Uuuuuu——"

In the flash of lightning, the ashen-faced Barcelona fans came to life with full blood and booed loudly towards the arrogant Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Cristiano Ronaldo didn't care. What was important was that his goal helped Real Madrid equalize the score and drag the game back to the same starting line.

Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo did not have any emotional changes in the face of the huge boos. In other words, he has seen too many such scenes and it is not enough to affect his personal mentality.

Almost all teammates ran towards Cristiano Ronaldo to celebrate the goal, except for goalkeeper Casillas who was too far away and stood in his own half to cheer.

Tang Zheng was naturally excited because his team equalized the score, but he first turned to look at the game time displayed on the scoreboard. The stoppage time had entered fifteen seconds, which meant that there were still three minutes and forty seconds left in the game. Five seconds.

The go-ahead score is enough!

Of course, Tang Zheng did not become an alternative being. He also ran to his teammates celebrating the equalizer, embracing and sharing the huge pressure release brought by the equalizer.

At this moment, Barcelona coach Enrique felt tremendous pressure. He seemed to see his team being reversed by Real Madrid again, thus becoming the most humiliating coach in Barcelona's coaching history.

One completed season, three runner-up finishes.

"can not be like this!"

Enrique shook his head,

Putting the bad negative emotions behind, the score is still just a draw, not the worst situation yet.

As long as the game is not over, any possibility can happen!

Not far away, in front of the home team coach's command area, Ancelotti exhaled and hugged his assistants Clement and Zidane excitedly.

The team was able to equalize the score in the first minute of injury time, which can be described as a timely rain.

Because as time goes by, Barcelona players will become more and more confident, and Real Madrid players will become more and more discouraged.

Moreover, the increase in self-confidence brought by goals during this period to the team is obvious, and it is easy to think of the past games this season that reversed the score.

Miracles don't happen often, but they can bring confidence to the players on the court, leading to a reversal!

Looking at the players celebrating the equalizer, Ancelotti was wondering, should he try to score another goal before the end of injury time to beat Barcelona?

This idea was quickly rejected by Ancelotti after it came up. The game has reached injury time, so we can't take too many risks.

The benefits may be great, but the risks are even greater.

No one knew that the head coaches of both sides of the game had made up their minds to drag the game into overtime.

But for some players on the field, they prefer to resolve the battle before the whistle blows at the end of the game.

※※※

The player who helped Real Madrid equalize the score was Cristiano Ronaldo, but in the minds of some commentators, Tang Zheng was the most important player in Real Madrid's equalizer.

It was he who used Barcelona's customary substitution adjustments to suddenly retreat to get the ball, disrupting Barcelona's defensive system, and then completed a precise long pass with his left foot to find Isco...

A qualified core player, in addition to being able to directly assist and score individually, must also make the most appropriate role based on the game situation.

This is the case for Tang Zheng, because his changes in rhythm caused chaos in Barcelona's defensive system, and he made the most appropriate choice based on the chaotic situation.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said passionately during the slow-motion replay of the live broadcast: "The source of Real Madrid's goal is the offensive space created by Tang Zheng's bold backcourt pass. At the same time, it also gave Barcelona's frontcourt players had the illusion that they could steal the ball from Tang Zheng's feet and counterattack on the spot. In fact, Tang Zheng had planned the game and had already taken control of the overall situation. The timely long pass was the essence of Real Madrid's goal..."

Although there are many die-hard Barcelona fans sitting in front of the TV, they are Chinese first, so they are not disgusted with He Wei's praise of Tang Zheng. On the contrary, they feel a sense of pride bursting out from deep in their hearts.

Of course, the best result in their minds is that Tang Zheng performs amazingly and Barcelona wins the final championship.

However, there are also a few fans who are calling He Wei a royal dog without restraint.

The on-site director gave close-ups to the Barcelona players on the pitch, such as Messi, Suarez, and Neymar. Among them, the longest time was given to Mathieu, who had just come on as a substitute.

His substitute appearance should have solved Barcelona's midfield defensive problem, but it turned out to be an opportunity for Real Madrid to equalize the score, and it was his momentary enthusiasm that triggered a wave of rhythm, otherwise the midfielders would not have pressed forward for no reason.

Thinking about the whole process of losing the ball, Mathieu shook his head helplessly.

Based on his performance as a substitute this season, he may not have a place in Barcelona's lineup next season.

Messi looked grim. Real Madrid equalized the score at the beginning of stoppage time, which was extremely beneficial to the overall confidence growth. If you are not careful, you may lose the game at the last minute.

Thinking of this possibility, Messi forced himself to divert his attention. If this possibility really arises, then he will be stained for life.

The age of 28 should have been the peak of his career. How could he lose in the Champions League final?

So Messi clenched his fists, looked at the Real Madrid players celebrating the game, made up his mind, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "The championship is still mine!"

At this moment, the head coaches of both sides told the players on the field through body movements to stabilize the rhythm and not to blindly invest in the attack.

Professional players are a group of people with excess energy and are competitive. Naturally, they want to influence the game, but they must follow the instructions of the head coach.

However, Tang Zheng and Messi had their own evil intentions. They both wanted to score another goal in stoppage time to defeat their opponent!

You cannot go against the wishes of the head coach, so you can only do it through your own efforts!

Not long after, the game restarted. Barcelona, ​​which had a kick-off advantage, did not rush forward to attack, but deliberately controlled the rhythm of the game.

The Real Madrid players, who were energized by the equalizer, did not press forward to press, but retreated to their own half after a symbolic defense.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

Although the pace of the game dropped to its lowest level since the game, the fans in the stands were enthusiastic. Even the Barcelona fans who experienced the team's lead from the equalizer regained their strength and gave out deafening shouts for this Champions League. The frenetic atmosphere of the final added to the excitement.

Among these fans, Real Madrid fans are the most enthusiastic. The team has just equalized the score. They have inexhaustible energy, so the momentum breaks out one after another.

Many Barcelona fans are hopeful that the team will win the game, but many fans are worried about it, fearing that Real Madrid will suddenly kill it.

The Dortmund fans who came to Berlin's Olympiastadion had a pure purpose, which was to watch Tang Zheng's performance up close.

In their words, watching Tang Zheng play is a kind of enjoyment.

From the beginning of the game to now, this statement has been verified.

Watching Tang Zheng compete is like watching an art exhibition.

Barcelona's ball control advantage came to an end in the second minute of stoppage time. Messi's breakthrough with the ball was intercepted by Tang Zheng and Modric, and Real Madrid switched from offense to defense.

Messi, who lost the ball, had a strong sense of responsibility. He immediately kicked down Tang Zheng who had the ball, and gave the team a yellow card to give him time to switch from offense to defense.

※※※

After completing the foul, Messi did not complain to the referee Cakir, but put his hands on his knees and gasped for air.

In the past game time, Messi has been doing his best. On the offensive end, he is Barcelona's most active player. On the defensive end, he often retreats to the ribs to defend, and even chases back into the penalty area when he loses the ball.

For Messi, the physical exertion is huge.

If there were no physical problems, the breakthrough just now would have allowed the ball to be taken away one step ahead and a free kick in the frontcourt would have been obtained.

Moreover, Messi's decision to resolve the battle in stoppage time is directly related to his decline in physical fitness. He is worried that in overtime, he will be even more unable to run.

Real Madrid did not rush to take a free kick in the backcourt. They waited until the midfielder and frontcourt players came to Barcelona's backcourt before goalkeeper Casillas kicked it.

The backcourt free kick taken by Casillas was very purposeful, just to find Tang Zheng who was temporarily at the front.

Neither Pique nor Mathieu could grab the spot, and Tang Zheng threw the ball to Isco, who was attacking on the right side.

After several consecutive passes, the football came to Tang Zheng's feet again. Since his teammates were not moving very well, Tang Zheng had no choice but to stick his butt out first, and then blocked Mascherano behind him in the penalty area. Completed a long shot from the top of the arc.

The football hit the upper edge of Pique's outstretched thigh, and then flew high over the baseline.

Corner kick.

Immediately, a loud shout echoed above Berlin's Olympiadstadion: "Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

The fanatical atmosphere of the game suddenly increased at this moment, and the Barcelona defensive players in the penalty area felt a huge pressure coming towards them.

Real Madrid has a strong ability to control the ball. Not to mention Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, Ramos, Varane and Benzema all have strong header ability. On the other hand, Barcelona.

The ability to compete with headers is very limited, Suarez, Busquets, Pique and Mathieu.

Of course, it is much more difficult for the attacker to score a goal on a corner kick than it is for the defender to complete the defense, because the defender only needs to clear the ball, while the attacker needs to control the landing point of the header, and then cross the fingers of goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

Although Barcelona coach Enrique is worried, he believes that the team can complete this corner kick defense.

In fact, the defense of the corner kick was very good this time. Tang Zheng failed to adjust his aim under the concord defense of Pique and Mascherano, and the football missed the right post of the goal.

Time was running out, and the stoppage time reached the third minute. The commentators in the on-site commentary box believed that the game was likely to enter overtime.

The players on the field basically thought the same way. Only Tang Zheng and Messi were still working hard, thinking about killing their opponents in the remaining game time!

After more than a minute of rest, Messi recovered a little bit of strength and decided to speed up!

It seemed like a casual request for the ball. Modric, who was relatively high up the pitch, took the initiative to defend Messi. Toni Kroos was responsible for the protection, while Tang Zheng guarded the key area in front of the central defender.

No one noticed Tang Zheng approaching Toni Kroos, including Messi.

At this moment, Messi suddenly moved the ball to the left with his left foot, accelerating in the 'Messi Corridor'!

Modric subconsciously stretched his foot and did not touch the football, nor did he touch Messi.

Toni Kroos was waiting for the opportunity to defend and prepare for a foul. Unexpectedly, Messi handed the ball to Neymar with the outside instep of his left foot and reached it in front of the arc of the penalty area. Then he passed the ball from Toni Kroos's defense. Outside run through.

Between turning to defend Messi and Neymar, Toni Kroos chose to defend Neymar.

As a result, Neymar didn't stop the ball and directly gave it to Messi's forward path, which was behind Toni Kroos.

"Oops!"

Tony Cross's heart trembled, but the next moment he heard a loud shout: "Ouch, ouch -"

Just after turning around, Toni Kroos saw Tang Zheng extend his right foot and pass Neymar's pass to Messi forward.

The football rolled between Neymar and Toni Kroos. Toni Kroos subconsciously flashed to the left. Neymar's pupils shrank suddenly, his left foot quickly stood on the ground, and he took a step forward, extending his right foot. Even if he can't kick the football, he still has to trip up Tang Zheng.

But Tang Zheng was the first to move the ball, and then his right foot that landed on the ground gently stood on tiptoe, jumped up, and avoided Neymar's right foot that was stretched out and raised.

Harvey saw the opportunity and pounced on Tang Zheng. After landing, Tang Zheng's upper body tilted to the left. This deceived Harvey into thinking that Tang Zheng was going to break through from his right side, so he changed his center of gravity to the right in advance. However, Tang Zheng used his right foot to move out. The instep moved the ball to the right, and then accelerated to break through from the left side of Xavi's body.

Mascherano had a strong sense of defense and rushed towards Tang Zheng without hesitation. He was optimistic about the moment when Tang Zheng passed the ball, stretched out his left foot and stabbed the football.

Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng suddenly stepped forward with his left foot, stepped on the football, pulled it back, then turned ninety degrees to the right with his waist as the axis, stepped on the football with the sole of his right foot alternately, and turned to the right. Pull from behind.

"Ouch-ouch——"

"Slalom Marseille!"

Along with the huge shouts from Berlin's Olympiastadion, CCTV 5 commentator He Wei suddenly raised his voice.
