Shot

Chapter 247 The Heart of a Champion: The Beginning of a New Legend? !

This free kick is about 27 meters away from the goal, and it is completely within the shooting range to the south. In fact, no one will ignore the threat of a free kick to the south. In the latest issue of the French "L'Equipe", listed the current In world football, the free-kick expert that causes the most headaches for goalkeepers. This is a data selected by the goalkeepers of various leagues. In the end, Xiangnan ranked third with 123 votes. In front of him is Peel of AC Milan. Luo, and Junio ​​of Lyon, but it is worth noting that almost all the goalkeepers of the Premier League voted for Xiangnan. It is conceivable that the goalkeepers of the Premier League are afraid of Xiangnan's free kick... …

It is worth mentioning that Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes and Juventus goalkeeper Buffon both voted for Xiangnan as the first pick. Free kick training, naturally understand the power of Xiang Nan's free kick, and Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdez has completely experienced the painful memories of the heartfelt words...

Van der Sar also participated in this massive vote, and voted for Xiang Nan. It can be seen that in the heart of the Manchester United goalkeeper, there is fear and fear of Xiang Nan's free kick...

Xiang Nan picked up the ball, wiped it vigorously with his jersey, then put it near his mouth, kissed it lightly, then used the spikes on the penalty spot, knocked it hard, and stepped on it hard Step on it, and make a sunken mark...

"Leo, move your position closer to the middle,... don't have such a big gap,... Evra..." Van der Sar watched Xiang Nan's calm movements, feeling extremely anxious in his heart, that damned The guy's performance is simply too calm, so calm, it can only be attributed to the extreme confidence of the free thrower for this ball...Van der Sar almost collapsed...

Bending over to the south, he placed the ball firmly on the penalty spot...

back off...

Xiangnan retreated about 12 yards. He likes this distance. Although Xiangnan rarely takes penalty kicks, except for penalty shootouts, Xiangnan has almost no record of taking penalty kicks. Distance has a special favor... Uh... Maybe this can only be attributed to some special superstitions in Xiangnan... In the football circle, there are quite a few players who have superstitious habits of one kind or another, like Chelsea captain John Terry hasn't changed his shin pads for three years, and Drogba is also used to patting his right chest before playing, praying for God's blessing...

Xiang Nan shook the ankle of his right foot and felt the throbbing pain from the ankle. After Carrick pulled him down, Xiang Nan felt that the pain in his right ankle began to intensify...

Xiang Nan raised his head, looked through the human wall, and stared directly at the Manchester United goal behind the human wall. His eyes collided with Van der Sar in the air, and the Dutchman even felt a chill in his heart——
"That guy, is he a cold-blooded animal? It's too scary..."

In fact, at this moment, Xiangnan's chest is full of fighting flames, and he is too eager to score goals! ! ! !

*******
Before this final, Xiang Nan was in the hotel and once saw Drogba and Sinclair chatting about something. He leaned over and found out that the idol of Ivory Coast Warcraft was the former Real Madrid legend Puskas, to be exact. In other words, it is Drogba's sincere admiration for the almost unsurpassable history of this veteran star in the Champions League final, which has become a near-mythical dream of modern shooters...

Puskas is hailed by fans as the "Flying Colonel". He has won the European Champions Cup three times with Real Madrid.

And the thing that Puskas makes the fans most excited about is...

In the 1960 Glasgow Champions League final, he scored 4 goals alone, leading Real Madrid to a 7-3 victory over Frankfurt to win the championship. He has also become the only person who has scored 4 goals in the Champions League final so far.

However, the "flying colonel" had unfortunately passed away in 2006 due to Alzheimer's disease. After his death, Real Madrid fans used "eternal myth" to describe the legendary superstar's performance in the Champions League final The great achievement of Zhongdu Zhongsiyuan...

At that time, Xiang Nan joked with Drogba that he might be able to reproduce the great scene of the "Flying Colonel" scoring four goals in the Champions League final in this final...

However, what Xiangnan received was Scott Sinclair's stunned eyes and Drogba's 'you bragging' expression...

Xiang Nan smiled, didn't say anything, just jokingly said that if he achieved the solo quadruple, he would ask his partner to hold a huge party for him...

Drogba naturally had no opinion, and brought Sinclair to be a witness. No wonder Drogba didn't believe it. It wasn't that he had any doubts about the strength of his partner. Football is still an era of completely advocating offense, and strikers have more opportunities to score goals, but now, every top giant's defense is world-class, let alone in the final of the UEFA Champions League, it is even more impossible There are too many offensive opportunities for the opponent's offensive core...

*******
back to the game...

Ferguson couldn't sit still anymore. The game has gone on to 53 minutes of the game. On the field, Manchester United is still 1:3 behind. Courage, if you give it a go, but if Chelsea score again and expand the score to 4:1, then, it is conceivable that Manchester United will collapse instantly...

Gudong Gudong! ! !

Sir Alex Ferguson drank half a bottle of mineral water in one gulp, threw the empty bottle on the sidelines, walked to the sidelines, and loudly directed the team's free kick defense... The fourth official on the sidelines had to get up Pulled the agitated Manchester United coach back to the coaching bench...

*******
The referee of this game, the Italian Trevor Noni, looked at Xiang Nan with an inquiring look, which means, are you ready? ...

Xiang Nan nodded to the referee, signaling that he was ready.

beep! ! !
a whistle...

The location of the penalty kick was close to the stands where the Manchester United fans were. Immediately, as the whistle sounded, the Manchester United fans booed the loudest...

Shhhhhhh! ! ! !
Hurrah! ! ! ! !
Countless Manchester United fans waved the flag of the Red Devils, yelled, and made noises that could shock people's eardrums, trying to interfere with Xiangnan and distract him. This young man has already made Manchester United fans extremely fearful... …

Xiang Nan ignored the noise from the stands, he had already put all his energy on that black and white elf...

The ball is in sight...

I want to shoot! !
I want to score! !
This is my stage, I want to create my own legend, a new legend! ! ! ! ! !
"Go for it!!!!!! Go in!!!" Xiang Nan only felt that there was a voice in his heart, the most powerful voice in his heart! ! !
Almost at the same time as the whistle sounded—
Started the run-up to the south——
1 steps...

2 steps...

He suddenly accelerated the pace of the last step, his upper body was straightened, like a statue of a fighter, he swung his right foot up, and then fell down quickly, like a dragon-slaying sword, he slammed into the middle of the ball...

The thrill of Mars hitting the earth...

The ball climbed rapidly, and then fell at the top...in a straight line,

The ball is like a meteor falling into the Milky Way, with a whistling feeling, a roaring feeling deep inside...

Van der Sar was completely stunned, and he raised his hands, not so much trying to save the ball, but, from a certain point of view-
The ball almost passed through Van der Sar's raised arms, fell quickly, and fell into the net. Even after hitting the net, it jumped up in the net again... like a cheerful same note...

Click! !
Behind the net, "Gazzetta dello Sport" reporter Tony captured an extremely classic picture, the Manchester United goalkeeper with his arms raised high, the ball passing through his hands, graceful like the splendor of the Milky Way...

On the front page of Gazzetta dello Sport the next day, this classic photo was used with a concise title——"Pilgrims!" ! ! "

This photo was quickly reposted and quoted by major media around the world, and it became the most classic moment in the European Champions Cup final...

*******

A real king of beasts! ! ! !
Totally crazy roaring! ! !

Crazy voices, stirring, circling hysterically over the Olympic Stadium in Rome! ! ! !
"This is simply a legend!! A new legend!!! This young man has completely opened up a new era of his own!!! Football is even more beautiful and splendid under his feet!!!"

Scolari almost passed out with excitement, no one would not be excited, no coach would not be excited, having cooperation and a great player is the dream of every coach, Scolari has realized at this moment I realized that this game will eventually become the greatest moment of my coaching career! ! !

…………

The face was distorted almost because of the extreme excitement and the extreme roar, the wet sweat dripped down the cheeks, and landed on the turf of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the slight hot wind blew by, and the slightly long hair ends facing the south , waving...

The voice in the stands is so clear, so insane, so exciting...

"Andre!! Your name is pride!!!"

"Andre, the legend that belongs to Andre begins at this moment!!!"

"History will remember you, great player, pick the happiest golden apple!!!"

Joanna was in tears! !
Two lines of salty liquid from the heart of the Mediterranean sea slowly slipped down her beautiful cheeks. She is so proud, so proud, that on the court, so crazy, so flamboyant, so let The man she is obsessed with is her boyfriend, and soon her husband...

"Andre... darling... you are my eternal pride... forever...!!!!"

Joanna's prayer is so pious, just like the redemptive heart of the sincere believers of the eternal faith for thousands of years...

*******
4:1! ! ! !
In the 55th minute of the game, Chelsea led Manchester United 4:1...

This is simply a disastrous score! ! !

The Manchester United fans in the stands of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome have fallen silent... this is disaster, the fans can't believe their eyes...

"Alex, are you alright!!!"

Manchester United assistant coach Mike Phelan (Mike-Phelan) helped Ferguson, who apparently slipped and fell, and asked with concern...

Ferguson's face was ashen, but proud! !Proud heart! ! !
The pride in his bones made him unwilling to give up like this! !

This stubborn and admirable old man, this Scottish old man who dedicated his life to Manchester United, will never give up! ! ! !

"Mike, let Nani play...substitute..." Ferguson froze for a moment, he hesitated.In the first half, he had planned to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. He couldn't tolerate the Portuguese messing up the team's overall offensive system because of his selfishness...

However, at this time, the only thing that can save Manchester United is the super performance of the stars? ...

'Can't I change it if I fall to the ground? ...'

Ferguson is hesitating! ! !

"Let him replace,...replace Carrick!!!!
Almost heaving a long sigh, the godfather of Manchester United made a decision... In the end, he still chose to trust the World Footballer that he trained by himself...

The line of sight returned to the stadium——
Cristiano Ronaldo's gloomy face...

"Cristiano, will you prove yourself and break through yourself?..." Ferguson didn't know the answer. This young man has a talent that everyone envies...

*******
At 60 minutes into the game, Manchester United made a substitution——
Portuguese youngster Nani came off the bench to replace Carrick...

"Nani is on the field!! Substituting Carrick, Manchester United is going to attack completely recklessly!!!" Lineker immediately judged Ferguson's intention to make a substitution, but in fact, for Manchester United , at this time, there is no other way but to attack...

*******
After the score of 4:1, Chelsea chose to consciously shrink the defense...

At 63 minutes into the game, Chelsea made a substitution——
Chelsea's deputy, Frank Lampard, came on, replacing Deco! !

Scolari's intention is obvious. At this time, replacing Lampard is to use the interception ability of the English midfielder to slow down Manchester United's attack and block Manchester United's attack speed...

Xiangnan received a pass from Essien and stopped the ball. The ball stopped a little too big. Xiangnan accelerated. While catching up with the ball, he made a brutal impact, pushing away Cristiano Ronaldo's defense and passing the ball. To Lampard on the right wing...

This is also the second direct confrontation between Xiangnan and Cristiano Ronaldo in just 5 minutes...

……

Lampard's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was over the crossbar. Chelsea's deputy decided to try a long-range shot to find out the feeling. In fact, Chelsea's current lead on the field also allows their It's appropriate for the vice-captain to come up with a kick or two...

*******
Nani's playing has greatly improved Manchester United's offense. The Portuguese teenager's speed has helped Manchester United open an offensive line on the wing...

However, Chelsea's short period after leading by a big score, whether it is physical or psychological slack, has provided Manchester United with the most powerful offensive opportunity...

In the 76th minute of the game, Nani made a breakthrough along the left. Near the bottom line, he chose a low pass. The ball reached the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo. Nani also quickly ran towards the penalty area, trying to meet Christie. Jarno Ronaldo makes a wall-banging fit...

However, the 'Mr. World Footballer' obviously believed in his footwork more——
Cristiano Ronaldo swung his right foot and hit the bottom of the ball directly. After the ball was drawn, like a golf ball hit by a golf club, it jumped up suddenly and spun towards the upper right corner of Chelsea's goal and go...

"Beautiful!!! So beautiful!!! The Portuguese's shot was wonderful, but Petr Cech's save was also perfect!!!" Mr. Wilson couldn't help admiring loudly...

Cech is like a super kangaroo, jumping on the spot, a very difficult side attack, almost sealed the ball with his fingertips, the ball was blocked, bounced on the post, and rolled out of the baseline ...

corner kick! !
Manchester United got a good chance to score! !
*******
Manchester United's corner kick was taken quickly, and now every second is crucial for the Red Devils! ! ! !
It's a tactical corner! ! !
Nani is the kicker of Manchester United's corner kick. This is already a well-known secret in the Premier League. The Portuguese teenager's weird arc pass has become a sharp weapon for Manchester United's offense...

However, correspondingly, every team has done some research on Nani's curve ball. Chelsea is also well prepared for this final. There is no reason not to study it. Manchester United's corner kick...

So, this time, Manchester United chose a tactical corner...

Nani pushed the ball lightly, and the ball reached Giggs' feet, and Nani himself quickly ran past Giggs...

Just when everyone thought that Giggs would pass the ball to Nani's feet and he would complete his own pass, almost when Nani ran past Giggs, Chelsea's The players found that the ball had already made a quick choice and flew towards the penalty area! ! !
Chelsea's defense was obviously a bit careless at this moment, and the spirit was obviously not concentrated. Berbatov squeezed Terry who was defending beside him, a beautiful lion shook his head, and pushed the ball towards the far end of Chelsea's goal horn……

Cech stood in the middle of the goal. At this time, his sight was completely blocked by the crowd in the penalty area. In addition, Giggs passed the ball very suddenly and the ball was very fast. The Czech hardly had any reaction. The whistling wind smashed into the net——
The fierce header almost smashed the net into a big bag...

"goooooaaaaal!!!!!! Berbatov!!! A wonderful header!!! A powerful blow!!! 2:4!!! Manchester United narrowed the gap to two goals, the game time is on By the 73rd minute the gap was closed...do the United guys still have a chance...?"

Lineker's words almost expressed the aspirations of all Manchester United people... It is also a common hope...

*******
Berbatov didn't have time to celebrate, he rushed directly into the goal, trying to hold the ball from Petr Cech's hands, but the Czech refused to let go of the ball...

In the south stand of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the Red Devils booed the loudest. Obviously, at this moment, the actions of the Chelsea goalkeeper have already aroused the public outrage of Manchester United fans...

The Chelsea fans in the stands cheered loudly for their goalkeeper after being annoyed by conceding a goal. The fans also know that now, every second that passes is the biggest blow to Manchester United...

The referee of this game, the Italian Trevor Noni, had no choice but to rush to the goal again and give a verbal warning to Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech...

Cech smiled, let go of his hands, and let Berbatov take the ball away...

Cech patted Berbatov on the shoulder, but the Bulgarian obviously didn't appreciate it... The Manchester United center under the rage pushed Cech to the ground...

Cech immediately lay in the goal, writhing in pain...

"The Czechs are very smart!! The Chelsea goalkeeper made good use of the impatience of the Manchester United!!! Berbatov's action is very inappropriate... However, just like the Bulgarians, the impatience has spread among the Manchester United players It's..."

The referee of this game, Italian Trevor Noni, was at the scene of the incident. Although he also knew that the performance of the Chelsea goalkeeper was a bit exaggerated, but——
Trevor Noni's face turned black. He warned Berbatov and warned that if the Bulgarian could not control his emotions again, he would not mind. He took out the yellow card in his pocket...

However, perhaps, the Manchester United center forward was already preoccupied with kick-offs as soon as possible. He ignored the referee's verbal warning, but shook his head and ran towards the center circle...

beep! ! ! ! !

A quick whistle! !

Ring again! ! !

yellow card! ! ! !
The referee of this game, the Italian Trevor Noni, has obviously been irritated by the resentment provoked by Manchester United players, to be exact, the complete Cristiano Ronaldo alone, and a black line is emerging on his forehead The referee showed Berbatov a yellow card without mercy...

Berbatov was obviously irritated by this penalty. The Manchester United center believed that all of this was a play by the Chelsea goalkeeper...

The angry Bulgarian rushed to the referee. At this time, beside him, Giggs hugged his teammate——
"Calm down!!! Be calm!! If you want to go back to the locker room, you can do it!!!"

After calming down, Berbatov looked angry, and ran towards the middle circle with the ball in his arms...

After the delay of this episode, the game time has passed by another 2 minutes...

Over the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the applause of Chelsea fans rang out. This was given to Cech, the team goalkeeper who had received sideline treatment and returned to the stadium. The fans didn't care what happened, anyway, in the At this time, Cech is the hero of the team...

Fans are pure like this... As long as they are players of their own team, they are the most worthy heroes...

The ball was placed in the middle circle again, and at this time, on the big screen of the stadium——
'Chelsea 4:2 Manchester United, 77 minutes'

The match seemed to be full of suspense all of a sudden...

*******
The game has gone on for 81 minutes, and the score is still 4:2...

Ferguson growled like an enraged rooster on the sidelines - obviously, he was still angry about the 2 minutes that had just passed...

"Damn!!! That Italian guy, can't you see the Czechs acting? . . . What an idiot . . . shit . . . "

The fourth official glanced sideways at the furious Manchester United coach. He was just about to get up, but after thinking for a while, he sat down and decided not to conflict with Ferguson at this time... He decided Out of sight, out of sight...

However, Manchester United's assistant coach Mike Phelan (Mike-Phelan) still pulled Ferguson to the coach's bench and sat down. He didn't want to, at this time, the team's head coach was sent off again for verbal disrespect. , in that case, Manchester United would—
It's really over...

Scolari sat quietly on the coach's bench, glanced at Manchester United's bench, without any expression...

At this time, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred on the pitch... There was a loud exclamation from the stands of Chelsea fans, and the team doctor quickly rushed into the pitch...
