There is a dream called football

Overtime was played intermittently, more and more players were suffering from cramps, and the game was becoming more and more boring.

The most worrying thing at this time may be the strong teams participating in the World Cup. This is equivalent to gambling with their chips. You must know that many players are the only big players in each country, such as Li Qiao.

The first half of overtime was lackluster, the score was still 1-1, but at this time Wenger was ready to make his final gamble, replacing Flamini and replacing Bergkamp.

Rijkaard was also watching. To be honest, he liked his Dutch compatriot Bergkamp very much, but this was not the time to think about the feelings of his compatriots, but the time to confront each other.

So he hopes that Bergkamp's performance will be completely abnormal.

Of course, for Arsenal, this is indeed a gamble. Bergkamp has faded out of the main lineup, so status is a problem.

Wenger is making some final arrangements with Bergkamp. This is some routine explanation, and it is actually a process. In fact, for a player of Bergkamp's level, it is basically impossible to make any mistakes.

The second half begins and there are 15 minutes left in the game.

Both sides played the ball very cautiously. Arsenal made a long pass to find Van Persie in front, and the latter passed the ball to Bergkamp.

Bergkamp was a little dull when he got the ball in front of the penalty area. Xavi and Iniesta formed a double-team, but Bergkamp suddenly pulled the ball with the sole of his foot and dodged it.

pretty.

I have to say that Bergkamp's little skills are really world-class. After turning around to pull the ball, Bergkamp distributed the ball to Li Qiao on the wing.

Li Qiao still chose a small arc to go around the back point to find Henry, but the pass was still a bit too big.

A few minutes later, Bergkamp's effectiveness became apparent. Barcelona's midfielder couldn't steal the ball, so Bergkamp and Fabregas were used as attacking midfielders.

Rijkaard looked grim. The opponent had indeed gained possession of the ball, and Bergkamp was able to break through on his own.

At this time, Bergkamp is similar to Baggio in Brescia a few years ago. The clouds are calm and the wind is calm, playing football is just enjoying life.

And such a state is very scary for the opponent.

Bergkamp got the ball in front of the penalty area. He looked at Li Qiao, but when he took the ball, his ankle flicked and he kicked the ball towards Henry.

Marquez was completely deceived by his fake eye movements, and Puyol once again became the anchor of Barcelona's defense. He successfully blocked the position and Henry could not shoot comfortably. The final shot was a bit soft.

The ball didn't go in.

*****

At this point, the head coaches of both sides had to consider the final penalty shootout.

Rijkaard wrote and crossed out in his little notebook, crossed out and wrote again.

Ronaldinho is definitely the first.

wrong.

Puyol is the first, and it is safer to arrange the defender first, because the defender is more decisive in his shots and does not think as much as the forward thinks.

Yes, it’s Puyol.

Then there's Harvey.

Eto'o.

Iniesta.

The last one is Ronaldinho.

This is the list Rijkaard has in mind.

As for Wenger, his idea is that Bergkamp will be the first to take the penalty, followed by Li Qiao, Van Persie, Xiaofa and Henry.

Henry is the finale!

Just when the coaches of both sides were thinking about the penalty shootout, the fans started cheering because Ronaldinho tore apart Arsenal's defense.

This time, Ronaldinho was not planning to pass the ball. He was also planning to be unique. He flicked the ball with the instep of his outside foot, and the ball was intended to hit the back corner of the goal.

Almunia had absolutely no choice, because the ball passed him. If it had hit the goal, it would have definitely been a goal.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, the ball slowly flew over the crossbar.

The ball didn't go in!

Ronaldinho knelt down this time. Unfortunately, he hit the lawn hard. As the team's thigh, he really hoped to help the team solve the problem at the last moment. After all, taking a penalty kick was like gambling.

However, Wenger got angry and the defense failed completely this time. Ronaldinho broke in in the middle of the penalty area.

Wenger smashed the water bottle hard. It was not until the referee warned him that Wenger calmed down. He was too excited.

I was so nervous at this time. If the goal had been scored, it would have been over. Wenger was only under heavy pressure to perform such an exaggerated performance.

After that, both sides had few chances, and the fourth official raised the stoppage time card.

There was 3 minutes of injury time. The two sides played peacefully in the overtime, and there were basically no violent and hurtful actions.

Even the commentators were saying: "This ball should definitely be a penalty kick."

"The physical fitness of both sides and their attitudes have made it impossible for them to score again, but this may be the fairest solution, although it is also the cruelest."

The last shot of the game was made by Li Qiao, a long shot from 30 meters away, but it was shot much higher.

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the two sides would use the most brutal penalty shootout to resolve the battle.

At this time, Almunia has already put on the gloves that Leman gave him, which may have some magical effect.

After all, penalty shootouts are determined by luck, so superstition is inevitable.

The on-site flying cats were photographed around the Champions League trophy. Soon, as soon as the champion is elected, the on-site engraver will immediately engrave the latest champion's name on the trophy. This is tantamount to asking who will win the trophy last??

The FIFA bosses in the stands did not expect that the game would take so long. It seemed that they would have to wait a while before they came to the stadium to present the awards.

The captains of both sides went to pick sides, while the players quickly drank water and relaxed their muscles, and the goalkeepers conducted some targeted training under the leadership of the goalkeeper coach.

After a side challenge, Barcelona took the penalty first.

The players from both sides stood side by side in the midfield, with Robin van Persie on Li Qiao's left and Henry the big man on his right.

Barcelona are also standing side by side. Puyol, who took the first penalty, has slowly walked out. Over there, Almunia is still reminiscing with Valdes. Both of them are Spaniards, so it’s okay.

Chatting.

But after chatting, the most tense penalty shootout began. Almunia stood on the goal line, provoking his fellow countryman Puyol.

"The ball wasn't set right."

The referee reminded him, Puyol placed the ball firmly on the penalty spot, and then he started to retreat.

In the stands, Barcelona fans have stood up and prayed. The first goal is very important. If you can't score, it will be difficult later.

Arsenal fans are also praying, hoping that Almunia will be like Toldo in Italy.

During the 2000 European Cup, Toldo was a substitute for Buffon and performed a miracle of saving a penalty kick in the semi-final against the Netherlands.
