There is a dream called football

5 minutes of injury time.

When the fourth official raised the stoppage time card, there were sporadic boos on the scene. This game was not good to watch. The game was far from the best.

As the saying goes, there is no name in the competition. At this time, it doesn't matter what beautiful football is. The most important thing is to be pragmatic, to win and advance to the finals. Of course, this cannot be such a pleasing game.

The referee was also unhappy with such a game. There was a lot of wrangling and the game was not smooth. Under normal circumstances, it is rare to have 5 minutes of added time in the first half.

Wenger looked at his watch and hoped that the game time would pass quickly. As the leading side, this is probably a normal mentality.

Pellegrini's mood was much more complicated. First of all, the first half was already garbage time. He knew this very well, but he was unwilling to accept it. The strategic goal of the first half was not achieved, especially for Franna.

The ball didn't go in, which was pretty bad.

At this moment, Li Qiao took the ball. He and Henry were about 20 meters apart, and a very strange idea came to his mind, which was to pass the ball to Henry and run forward himself, creating a triangle.

The key to this coordination is that Henry needs to return the ball. This is the biggest difficulty.

Many people were amazed when they watched the Barcelona game. The triangle was almost as if it was made by a computer program. But what few people know is that it was actually two people who came up with the idea.

Of course, this requires long-term practice and even the same football philosophy. This is why Messi can live a happy life in Barcelona, ​​but Argentina cannot play that kind of pleasing football.

"No matter, let's give it a try. The first half is almost over anyway."

Li Qiao sent the ball forward. After Henry got the ball, he took a look at Li Qiao's running route. At the same time, he also thought of the triangle coordination that Li Qiao was thinking about just now.

So the most difficult and last point of this coordination is to pass the ball back. If the angle and strength are slightly different, all the previous efforts will be wasted. This is the super difficult part of football. Henry used the instep of his instep to slightly change the ball.

Running direction, and then after Li Qiao got the ball, he faced the goal directly.

How sudden is this ball?

When it appeared, the home fans and Pellegrini were stunned, as if they had been frightened by something.

"How could this ball be passed?"

So let alone the Villarreal players on the court, goalkeeper Barbosa rushed to attack, but it was too late, Li Qiao shot into the far corner.

The ball slowly rolled into the goal, and Pellegrini picked up the water bottle on the ground and smashed it on the ground.

"asshole."

The first half was about to end, but Villarreal conceded the ball. It is conceivable that during the 15 minutes of the halftime break, the Villarreal players would feel as sick as if they had eaten flies.

Regarding this ball, the only thing Villarreal can argue about is whether the ball is offside. Other than that, there seems to be nothing to argue about, but the assistant referee's gesture is very clear, offside does not exist.

.

Almost at the same time as Villarreal kicked off in midfield, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

1 to 0.

The total score was 3 to 1. For the fans at Love Song Stadium, this was a very dazzling scene. They failed to hold on to a good result for the halftime break.

*****

The situation is very difficult for Villarreal, they may no longer be called Porto.

This dream is to support the team to move forward and reach the semi-finals, but now...

At 1-2, they only needed one goal, but now they need two goals, and that is just a chance to win overtime, so for Villarreal players

Basically, the mentality is out of balance.

Pellegrini was also silent for a moment. For a long time, he has used the myth of Porto to encourage his players, but now it seems that the sweetness of a little spiritual victory method is no longer enough. It must be a greater stimulus.

OK.

What?

It can't be a huge bonus because Villarreal doesn't have that much money either.

"It's a pity that we didn't achieve our goal in the first half."

Fran's face was on fire. If he scored that goal, everything would be different.

But there are no ifs in football. Forlan's expression was seen by the keen Pellegrini, who knew that this emotion was wrong.

"Listen, boys, I don't blame anyone, and our fans won't blame us, but we can't just ask ourselves, right? This is not the fans' semi-finals, nor is it TM's UEFA

not our semi-final, but our own semi-final.”

Pellegrini applauded vigorously.

"Kids, what do you play football for?"

"make money?"

"famous?"

"Coming to Europe?"

"But I believe there are still many people who play football for their dreams."

"dream?"

It can be said that 90% of children first come into contact with football because of dreams. However, as they grow older, dreams will slowly fade away, and reality will become more important.

In fact, we ordinary people are the same. In the first grade of elementary school, the essays written about dreams are all about "I want to be a scientist and a great person." But when they grow up, many people may just want to pay off their Huabei bills.

"I don't know if you still have dreams."

"But I can tell you clearly that I still have it."

Many people have become serious. It is true. Before, many people just wanted to play football well, and maybe they would be spotted by European giants and go to better clubs. But at this time, the little flames in many people's hearts flickered.

It seemed to be burning.

dream.

dream.

dream.

"What I know is that our dream is still there, we only need two goals, and in football, two goals don't mean anything, do they?"

right!

In last season's final, Liverpool scored four goals in a row and staged the epic Miracle in Istanbul. But what are two goals?

Many people stood up and waved their fists, "Yes, for the dream."

*****

In the Arsenal dressing room, Wenger is laughing.

"Everyone, think about what is happening in the locker room of Villarreal not far away right now?"

Someone laughed and said, "Are you crying?"

"Haha, then you are naive. I think your opponent is talking about Liverpool last season."

Since the miracle in Istanbul, almost all the lagging parties will talk about this matter. This has become a common practice.

And Li Qiao laughed, saying that he was very lucky in this life, and he was a part of it.
