There is a dream called football

In the end, Van Blounthorst's toe slightly touched the ball. It was such a small change. The ball shook Li Qiao, but he did not touch the ball and the ball also flashed past.

Rijkaard breathed a sigh of relief, it was almost a victory.

Wenger shook his head, it was almost over.

*****

The game has reached the most tense moment, 1 to 1, both sides may kill their opponents, or they may be killed. This is a kind of torture, so they are very cautious.

Ronaldinho passed the ball to Larsson. The Swede was leaned on by Toure before he got the ball, and he looked like he was about to fall, but Larsson still stood still.

Toure was full of confidence. He felt that he could completely suppress Larsson, but he did not expect that Larsson turned around the moment he got the ball. This was too fast and Toure could not make the second move.

Otherwise it's a foul.

As soon as Wenger saw it, he called Toure an idiot in his heart. The ball was obviously going to follow, and he was obviously careless. And Larsson was indeed flexible. Unlike another Swedish power forward Ibrahimovic, Larsson's

Although his body is on the thin side, he can still become a top striker in Europe because of his excellent football IQ.

Campbell came over and Larsson was alone in the penalty area. He definitely had to hit the goal himself and volleyed towards the goal. Fortunately, Lehmann was highly focused and finally saved the ball.

Soon, Barcelona's offense made a comeback, still with Larsson as the fulcrum. He was more like a center than Eto'o, because the center needs to take the ball in the penalty area, just like Italy's Toni, and Larsson is

Someone who can hold the ball.

He holds the ball under his feet, even for a few seconds, and then his teammates can press on him, which is very important.

After Larsson passed the ball, he passed the ball to Eto'o on the side. The latter hit the side net with a blast. The Barcelona fans in the distance were excited because they thought the ball had been scored. The net shook, but

I didn't expect it to be hit on the edge.

Rijkaard is very happy. These top players are so good. He can play some tactics that he did not require in training. For example, Larsson is used as a center. This has not been practiced in training, but in the game

, these players played very well.

This is what the players of a strong team are all like, and this is what modern Total Attack and Total Defense football requires of its players.

Wenger and Rijkaard both looked at their watches. There was a high probability that it would go into overtime. Of course, neither side actually wanted to go into overtime because there were only 10 people left. So it would go into overtime.

This means that the loss may be greater.

Li Qiao also had a cramp from working hard. He sat on the ground and pulled it on his own. When Henry saw it, he came over to help.

"You have to hold on."

"I will, Captain."

Li Qiao is very meticulous in the execution of the head coach's tactics. Every time he returns to defense, he goes up every time. So although there are not many opportunities, the wide players run the most, so it is not surprising at all.

After calming down, Li Qiao still stood up. Although Arsenal still had a place for substitutions, Wenger would not use it easily, lest he suffer the same tragedy as his opponent Giuly.

At the last moment of the game, Arsenal's long passes were even more thorough. There was no need for the midfielder, and there was no one anyway. A big foot hit Van Persie's head, and on the bench, Bo

Gerkamp has also gotten up to warm up.

In the 85th minute of the game, Arsenal had a chance to win. The ball was passed from the backcourt. Van Persie beat Puyol and headed the ball to Li Qiao, who shot directly.

The ball goes in.

Just as the Arsenal fans were celebrating, the linesman's flag poured cold water on him, indicating he was offside!!

Van Persie was not offside when he received the ball, but the move he gave to Li Qiao was offside. Li Qiao was still too hasty.

But Li Qiao is different now from the first half. When his physical fitness is good, he doesn't have to rush to start. He can kick out in a few times. But now it's different. If his physical fitness is not good, he needs to run early. If he runs like this, he will be offside.

It's inevitable.

Wenger smiled and shook his head, "Can't the linesman make one mistake? This offside is actually not much."

However, after this goal, the two sides were misfired. After all, they were very conservative at this time. They would rather play for another 30 minutes than be defeated by someone, which would be miserable.

In the end, both sides got what they wanted, and the referee blew the whistle immediately at the end of 4 minutes of stoppage time.

The 2006 Champions League final required overtime.

****

"Hurry up and give Li Qiao a massage."

The team doctor was quickly giving Li Qiao a massage.

"Does it hurt?"

Li Qiao shook his head.

The team doctor is actually quite worried. From a doctor's point of view, Li Qiao needs to leave the game and rest. But this is the final of the Champions League, so as long as it is not the kind of injury that cannot last, then the player will definitely not leave the game.

.

"Eat a banana to add some potassium."

"good."

Wenger came over and patted Li Qiao.

"How about it?"

"nothing."

Wenger knew that Li Qiao was very tired, and the head coach saw his execution of tactics.

"Li Qiao, you run the most in the team. You have sacrificed too much for tactics, but you have to run like that in overtime."

Li Qiao nodded.

"Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I will replace you."

Li Qiao chuckled, "It shouldn't be necessary."

The situation on Rijkaard's side is even clearer. He has no substitution quota, only these 10 people fight to the end.

"I don't need to say any more about our situation, you are all professional players."

Everyone nodded.

"I didn't expect this game to be so difficult. Now it seems like anything could happen, such as a penalty shootout."

"Okay, don't worry so much now, just play well for these 30 minutes."

*****

Lehmann had been watching the game in the locker room. He was in a very depressed mood. Being an outsider was particularly unpleasant.

He would rather be injured and get off the field, then he can still be with everyone on the bench. Players who receive a red card need to leave the field immediately, so he can only watch the game here.

However, he still wrote a small note and asked his staff to send it to his teammates.

Soon, Wenger got the small note.

"What Lyman has to say to us."

Everyone is also looking forward to it. To be honest, Lehmann went down for the benefit of the whole. Without Lehmann's attack, there might not have been overtime, and Barcelona might have solved the problem within 90 minutes.

"What Lyman is saying to us is that he is with us."

"Also, he asked me to give Almunia his goalkeeper gloves. If I save a penalty kick, I can use these gloves."
