Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 93: There are no miracles at the Bernabeu

Cristiano Ronaldo was replaced, and Tang Zheng gained more control of the ball. Under his organization, Real Madrid's offense became obviously more mature and more layered. The tacit passing of the midfield players began to increase, and the ball was released with one kick. It's pleasing to the eye.

And these are not available when Cristiano Ronaldo is on the court.

It's not that Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't have enough tacit cooperation with Real Madrid's midfielders and frontcourt players. It can only be said that he wants to express himself so much now that he ignores the tacit understanding and cooperation that football itself should have.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a lot of goals in Real Madrid. In just six seasons, he became the player with the most goals in the history of Real Madrid. In addition to his outstanding ability in front of goal and super comprehensive ability, it is more because of his close relationship with his teammates in the midfield and frontcourt. Cooperation is tacit.

You know how I run, I know how you kick.

Together, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

However, with the conflict between Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng over the competition for the ball at the end of last season, and now the break, Cristiano Ronaldo has gradually gone to extremes and ignored the team nature of football.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was substituted, went straight back to the locker room. He did not take a shower directly, but turned on the TV in the locker room to watch the exciting second leg of the Champions League semifinals.

"How... is this possible? Playing so smoothly?"

Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't believe the facts in front of him and didn't understand it at all.

There was another dazzling wave of passing and cutting. Benzema got the ball and accelerated into the penalty area. Boateng failed to keep up with the rhythm at all. He faced Neuer directly.

However, Benzema's shot into the right rib of the penalty area was bravely saved by Neuer. The Real Madrid fans in the stands exclaimed: "Oh, oh, oh, oh..."

If this goal is scored, Real Madrid still has hope of reversal and advancement.

Real Madrid has an away goal at the Allianz Arena, which means that Real Madrid only needs to defeat Bayern Munich 3:0 at home to advance to the Champions League finals this season by relying on the away goal advantage in the case of a draw on the total score.

What a pity!

The game entered the 70th minute, and Bayern Munich under Guardiola significantly strengthened its defense.

As early as the first leg of the semi-finals ended, Guardiola knew how to play in the second round.

It's great to get an away goal at the Bernabeu Stadium.

But it doesn't matter if you can't get it. After all, winning 4:1 at home leaves Bayern Munich with many retreats.

Facing Bayern's strengthened defense, Tang Zheng really couldn't find a good way to organize the offense. He could only organize the offense by running in a wide range to find gaps in Bayern's defense.

After this search, ten minutes passed and the game reached the 80th minute. The attack organized by Tang Zheng did pose a threat to Neuer's goal, but the forward player did not seem to have a shooting boot and failed to score.

Some disappointed Real Madrid fans began to boo, and some even chose to leave early to express their strong dissatisfaction with Real Madrid this season.

It wasn't until the 85th minute of the game that Real Madrid broke the deadlock with a brilliant direct free kick scored by Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng, who scored, had no time to celebrate the goal. He rushed directly to the goal, picked up the football, and placed it on the kick-off point, waiting for the game to restart.

There is not much time left for Real Madrid!

Bayern Munich did not panic after losing the goal. In their pre-match preparations, there was no plan to fall behind.

As the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since its restructuring, Real Madrid has the absolute strength to turn the tide, so Bayern Munich has launched its second plan.

Naturally, they cannot play against Real Madrid in an away game, otherwise they will most likely suffer a huge reversal and fall behind by one goal as an away team. Guardiola made substitutions and adjustments to strengthen the defense in the middle, especially increasing the intensity of marking Tang Zheng.

The source of Real Madrid's offense is none other than Tang Zheng!

Tang Zheng helped Real Madrid break the deadlock. Real Madrid fans in the stands saw a glimmer of hope, but it was just hope.

Real Madrid this season is not the invincible Real Madrid.

Central 5 commentator He Wei shook his head and said: "The time left for Tang Zheng to perform alone is too short, and now that the game has reached the point where the players' physical fitness has dropped significantly, and the area of ​​​​activity has been greatly reduced, it is very difficult for Real Madrid, who must score two more goals. high……"

In the blink of an eye, the game came to the end of the first half, and the scoreboard still showed 1:0, with Real Madrid leading.

But... the total score is still 2:4 behind.

Except for those die-hard Real Madrid fans, most fans believe that Real Madrid is about to be eliminated.

There were about ten seconds left before the 90 minutes of regular time. The fourth official held up the four-minute stoppage time electronic board, which also meant that there were still four minutes left in the game.

In the first minute, Real Madrid did not score.

In the second minute, there was no goal either.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Benzema received a pass from Carvajal and completed the top shot. The football quickly flew to the near corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Neuer subconsciously made a flying sideways dive and dragged the football out with one palm. beam.

Corner kick!

Although the game came to the third minute of stoppage time, Bayern Munich did not slack off. Instead, they woke up with the reminder of captain Lahm.

At this time, many Real Madrid fans had left the stands, and many empty seats were increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Modric took a corner kick on the left side of the attack, and the football flew to the center of the penalty area with a strong internal arc. Tang Zheng jumped high to the ball, beating Javi Martinez and Lewandowski to complete a difficult lion's head flick. , the running football changes its trajectory and flies towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Neuer's reaction was not unpleasant, but the football that Tang Zheng pushed was very powerful, and the angle was quite tricky...

"Goooooooooooooooal——"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray looked at the football rushing into the net, suddenly jumped up from the commentary box, raised his arms and shouted.

In stoppage time, Real Madrid expanded the score to two goals, which also means that if Real Madrid can score another goal in the final time, it will create history!

A great reversal!

Immediately, the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium fell into extreme wind and crossed the alarm clock function. Those fans who were queuing up to the exit of the stadium were affected by the fanatical atmosphere. They raised their arms and shouted, creating a deafening roar: "Ouch, ouch, ouch - ouch - —”

However, Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, was very calm. He ignored the severe pain in his right shoulder caused by jumping high. After landing, he rushed directly to the goal, trying to fish the football out of the goal, and then use the last moment to get back in. One goal!

Obviously, goalkeeper Neuer will not let Tang Zheng succeed. Being two goals behind and one goal behind are completely different concepts.

Another goal from Real Madrid means Bayern Munich will be eliminated.

As a result, Tang Zheng had a physical conflict with Neuer, who was deliberately protecting the football.

The Real Madrid players in Bayern's penalty area had the same idea as Tang Zheng, they had to race against time.

The physical conflict between Tang Zheng and Neuer soon extended to the entire small penalty area. Players from both sides were entangled. The referee Kuppers woke up from a dream and quickly blew his whistle. The second assistant referee also hurriedly Enter the court and work with the referee to deal with emergencies on the court.

With the intervention of the referee, the conflict between Real Madrid players and Bayern players was resolved very well.

After all... everyone was focused on the game, but as the instigators of the incident, Tang Zheng and Neuer each received a yellow card even if they hugged each other intimately afterwards.

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice had a clear tremor: "The four-minute injury time has ended, but the conflict between Tang Zheng and Neuer took up a certain amount of time. I believe the referee Kuppers will Give it a little more time as appropriate, but..."

"But..." guest commentator Zhang Lu added: "The time given by the referee Kuppers is limited. I hope Real Madrid can score another goal in the remaining game time."

The time came to the fourth and a half minute of stoppage time. Bayern head coach Guardiola looked very anxious. He pulled the fourth official and pointed to the game time displayed on the scoreboard, which meant the fourth minute of stoppage time. It’s all over, why hasn’t the end of the game been sounded yet?

The fourth official was helpless, but his professional ethics was in place and he explained patiently.

Guardiola realized that he could not rely on pressure to resolve the battle. He pulled Bernat on the bench and pushed him forward, preparing to come on as a substitute.

It looks like adjusting players, but in fact it means delaying the game.

By the time Bayern Munich completed their substitution adjustments, it was time to reach the fifth minute of injury time.

The time spent on substitution adjustments is completely different from the time spent on minor conflicts, and is included in injury time.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were hysterically shouting loudly, cheering for the Real Madrid players on the field.

Bayern fans who traveled with the team had mixed emotions and were very nervous. They were worried that the team would concede another goal in the remaining game time.

If we concede another goal, Real Madrid will advance to the final!

Bayern had a kick-off advantage. They did not rush to attack, but firmly controlled the football at their feet, hoping to consume the remaining game time through passing. However, seeing the hope of promotion, the Real Madrid players worked hard and fought hard. Dead.

The referee Kuppers did not blow the full-time whistle for a long time. Bayern players became more and more panicked. Center defender Boateng, who was worried about a passing error, chose to kick the ball forward.

The time came to the fifth and a half minute of stoppage time, which was a full half minute beyond four minutes of stoppage time. Therefore, Bayern head coach Guardiola seemed particularly angry, especially after the control of football changed hands...

Everyone became nervous, whether it was the players on the field or the fans, coaches, and commentators outside the field...

All very nervous.

The referee Kuppers is already looking down at the time on his left wrist. This signal is obvious. After Real Madrid's attack, the full-time whistle will be blown.

When the football came to the feet of Tang Zheng, who was retreating, the fanatical atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium increased significantly. The fans in the stands held their breaths and stared intently, for fear that if they were not careful, they would miss a wonderful scene that would be difficult to make up for in their lifetime.

Since there was not much time left, all Bayern players had retreated to the 30-meter defensive zone. Tang Zheng, who retreated 30 meters away, received the football and was unmarked.

He turned around to meet the ball, looked up in the direction of the goal, and then adjusted his footing.

Is this... a long shot?

How could Lewandowski, who was teammates with Tang Zheng in Dortmund, not know what Tang Zheng was up to?

Without hesitation, he pushed forward and blocked Tang Zheng's shooting angle.

When Lewandowski saw Tang Zheng swinging his right foot, not many defenders realized that he jumped forward and tried to block Tang Zheng's long shot with his body. However, Tang Zheng's right foot did not hit the ball and instead used the inside of his instep. Dump the football to the left and move forward.

Thiago and Robben were like sharks smelling something fishy and pounced on Tang Zheng who was dribbling the ball.

At this moment, everyone thought that Tang Zheng was going to break through Thiago and Robben. As a result, Tang Zheng unexpectedly raised his left foot while attacking the left rib, and kicked the inside of the instep to the back of the left side of the football. The football drew an obvious line in the air. The arc quickly flew to the right rib of the penalty area.

James Rodriguez, wearing No. 11, stood out from the crowd and chased the football.

Javi Martinez, who was dragged at the end of the defense line, subconsciously raised his right arm to remind the linesman James Rodriguez that he was suspected of being offside.

But the linesman said nothing, that is to say... there was no offside!

When the Real Madrid fans in the stands saw this, a passionate flow of air suddenly burst out from their bodies, making them go from nervous to excited.

In stark contrast, the Bayern fans who traveled with the team looked ashen-faced.

Goalkeeper Neuer abandoned the goal immediately and blocked James Rodriguez's shot.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

James Rodriguez used the outside instep of his left foot to unload the football very comfortably while running, then looked at Neuer who was leaving the goal and swung his left foot.

The near corner was blocked by Neuer, and he could only pursue the far corner.

But... James Rodriguez, who had played for more than 90 minutes, had a weak right foot, but he still completed a low shot, and the football rolled against the turf toward the far corner.

Neuer subconsciously fell to the ground and dived sideways without touching the football. The football quickly rolled towards the far corner of the goal. Everyone's eyes were attracted to the football with the Champions League five-star logo...

"Ronaldo! Pushed with his left foot! Neuer didn't touch the football!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice was obviously an octave higher.

The entire Bernabeu Stadium heated up a lot at this moment, but only half a second passed, and it felt like falling into an ice cellar.

Because...the football kicked by James Rodriguez did not roll into the net, but hit the front of the left post of the goal and bounced back.

Captain Lahm made a very timely defense and kicked the ball directly out of the baseline without thinking about anything.

"Oh oh oh oh——"

Accompanied by a burst of exclamations from the Bernabeu Stadium, the referee Kuppers on duty did not give Real Madrid a chance for a corner kick, but decisively blew his whistle, two short and one long: "Beep~Beep~Beep~~"

"The game is over! The game is over!" British Sky commentator Andy Gray said depressingly: "James Rodriguez received Don's imaginative pass and got a single goal, but his shot hit the goal post. , Philipp Lahm kicked the ball out of the bottom line, and the referee did not give Real Madrid any more time! Bayern Munich, who ultimately lost, advanced to this season's Champions League final with a total score of 4:3!"

Not many people noticed that it was drizzling over the Bernabeu, but even if someone did, they wouldn't care.

There were no miracles at the Bernabeu this night.
