There is a dream called football

Chapter 225 Hard battle overtime

The overtime period has entered the second half, and the head coaches of both sides have to consider the candidates for the penalty shootout.

Capello here.

First of all, Del Piero must be the last one, for the finale, and the first one is also very important. Capello thought about it a lot and chose Ibrahimovic. This was also a deliberate decision. After all, Ibrahimovic's nerves are relatively strong, and he will be the one to do it.

It may be better to take the first penalty.

In the middle three, Capello stuffed Nedved, Emerson and Camoranesi.

In Capello's mind, this is the most perfect combination of taking penalty kicks, but for Liverpool, Benitez will think more about it. He actually wants to solve the problem in the 120th minute. After all, he will score more goals.

One goal, then Liverpool will have the advantage of away goals.

But Benitez must also prepare for the penalty shootout.

First of all, Gerrard must be in the last place. The captain has the finale. This is very important. The first one...

Benitez thought it over and chose Alonso.

During normal team training, Alonso also has a good grasp of penalty kicks. The Spaniard's footwork is very good, basically he can hit where he wants.

The middle three, Li Qiao, Hamann, and Baros, were stuffed in. The three of them are also the three that Benitez trusts.

Time passed minute by minute, and it seemed that both sides could only prepare for a penalty shootout. But at the 115th minute, a miracle happened. Ibrahimovic suddenly kicked off in front of the penalty area, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

Ibrahimovic has attacked so many fairy balls in his life that many people have become numb. It was the same this time. He just shot the cloud-piercing arrow so unreasonably that Dudek had no time to react and the ball went in.

Juventus overtook the score 2-1.

Juventus fans began to celebrate, semifinals, semifinals, semifinals.

"Let's go to the semi-finals and watch."

The flying cat flew above the Juventus fans, who shouted excitedly, "We are in the semi-finals."

On the other side, the Liverpool fans who came from afar were deathly quiet. At the last moment, they still lost.

Some young fans are already crying.

"We lost."

"No, we shouldn't cry."

"Liverpool will never walk alone."

At this time, the most touching scene appeared. All the Liverpool fans held up their red scarves and began to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" in unison.

Gerrard, like his teammates, was very moved.

Someone cried.

And Benitez walked towards Capello and said, "Congratulations on your team's advancement."

The game was not over yet. Capello was a little embarrassed, but he still held his hand in Benitez's hand.

"Thanks."

At the last moment of the game, it seemed that there was not much suspense, but at this moment, Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity.

This time even Dudek rushed forward. You must know that Liverpool only needs one goal, and then they will eliminate Juventus with the advantage of more away goals.

At this time, Juventus fans also began to get nervous, maybe they would be defeated.

Alonso went to take the corner kick. He took a deep breath. This was very important. He must not mess it up.

"We can't mess this up."

Alonso's curve ball fell in and Hyypia grabbed the header.

Benitez's heart almost jumped out of his chest, but the ball didn't go in.

"Didn't get in!"

"..."

Just as the Liverpool players were running back, the referee pointed to the corner flag area to indicate that the ball was still a corner kick. It turned out that Hyypia's header hit the opponent's head.

The corner kick continued, and the heavy pressure on both sides continued. In fact, even the Liverpool fans wanted the game to end quickly because the pressure was indeed too great.

This pressure is not just overwhelming.

Dudek did not go back and continued to participate in the second corner kick opportunity.

Just when Alonso was about to kick off the ball for the second time, Gerrard ran over and motioned for me to kick the ball.

"I'll do it."

Alonso ran into the penalty area and the Jays came to kick the ball in person. Is it possible that there was a change in the ball?

really.

When Gerrard kicked off, Li Qiao quickly withdrew from the penalty area, which meant he took a short corner kick.

This is a hockey term, and it was later adopted by football, and the effect is actually very good.

After Li Qiao received the ball, he was about to pass the ball. At this time, the Juventus penalty area became loose because some people wanted to go out and attack Li Qiao, but most people still wanted to stay in their positions.

Li Qiao looked towards the center and sent a curve ball to the back point. Who was waiting there?

Everyone turned to look.

Oh my god.

Dudek was at the back point, and Li Qiao's ball was aimed at him. He caught the ball and hit it with his head, and the ball...

Capello watched intently as the ball went in.

He knelt down.

And a person passed by him, he was Benitez. The little old man suddenly rushed towards his players like a 100-meter flying man.

Killed.

The Liverpool fans were so excited that they rushed to the edge of the stands regardless of the situation.

Gerrard was very worried when he saw it. He rushed to the stands and said, "Go back, go back, it's too dangerous."

Because someone had already fallen, Gerrard was worried about another Heysel. The Liverpool fans also realized that this was too dangerous, so they quickly retreated.

This time it was Juventus' turn to be anxious. There were still a few minutes left. If the score of 2-2 was maintained until the end, Juventus would be out.

Capello now replaces Trezeguet and plays as a front three. He wants to reverse the situation at the last moment, but Liverpool retreats from all fronts. As long as the 2-2 scoreline is maintained, the victory will be Liverpool's.

Juventus is indeed very powerful. Their last few attacks were very threatening. Dudek resisted with high passes, especially blocking Trezeguet's header from close range.

Finally, when the referee blew the final whistle, the Liverpool players fell to the ground and Gerrard covered his face and cried.

Li Qiao and Dudek hugged each other. When they passed the ball, what Li Qiao saw was that everyone in the penalty area was being marked.

The only exposed point was Dudek, so he decisively passed the ball to the goalkeeper. Unexpectedly, the effect was very good, and the ball went in.

Capello felt as uncomfortable as swallowing bitter coptis, but there was nothing he could do about it, he had to bear it.

This time Benitez reached out again, and Capello remembered the scene a few minutes ago. At that time, he was still the winner, and the person opposite was a snake, but a few minutes later, everything was completely reversed.

I can only say that this is football.

Although Capello was bitter, he did not lose his grace. He still held hands with Benitez.

"Congratulations to you, I hope Liverpool win the final championship."

"Me too. If Juventus advances, then I also want to say the same thing to you."

The two teams passed each other, and Liverpool reached the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.
