i am a football star

Chapter 149 After the game
After the game restarted, Barcelona attempted two offenses and was blocked by Liverpool. The two teams began to accept the result of the penalty shootout. Everything can only depend on God.

When the fourth official on the sidelines played 2 minutes of extra time, Liverpool won a free kick in the front court, but the position was not very good, just on the penalty area line, which was just made by Yaya Toure blocking Gerrard's long-range foul.

This kind of free kick is too close, and it is not easy for the opponent to hit the goal directly. After the football is kicked around the wall, there is not enough space to fall, so it becomes an anti-aircraft gun.

The best way to do this kind of free kick is to let a player with strong legs kick it directly at the wall. If you are lucky, if you break through the wall, you may be able to catch the opponent's goalkeeper by surprise, but it is not so easy to break through the wall.

Several Liverpool players got together to discuss for a while, and finally Gerrard and Harvey Alonso stood in front of the ball, and Liu Ting and Torres lined up in the opponent's wall, seemingly to interfere with the opponent's wall defense.

This approach gave the Barcelona players a hint that Liverpool wanted to use the method of penetrating the wall. It seems that this is also Liverpool's best choice.

Gerrard and Xavi Alonso stood in front of the ball. Both of them had a strong long shot. Although Gerrard was more likely to take the penalty, Barcelona was not too sure. Liu Ting and the others stood in the Barcelona wall, and Liu Ting and Ketapic stood next to each other.

The referee blew the whistle. Xavi Alonso jumped over the ball after a run-up, followed by Gerrard, but pushed the ball lightly.

Liu Ting was originally standing in the wall, but when Gerrard pushed the ball, he quickly retreated around the wall to the left side of the wall. Barcelona's defense was caught off guard at this moment. Although someone reacted immediately and rushed to Liu Ting to stop him, but it was a step too late. Liu Ting ran to the left side of the wall to stop the ball with his left foot and hit the goal with his right foot.

"Goooooooooal!!! Beautiful! Beautiful free kick tactics! Liu! He beat Barcelona! Liverpool's sixth Champions League title is coming!" Alan Hansen's excited roar sounded again.

This free kick made all the fans, whether they were Liverpool fans, Barcelona fans or neutral fans, stunned for a moment. Then the referee blew the whistle to confirm that the goal was effective. This reminded everyone that the audience immediately boiled.

Zhan Jun said: "This is an imitation of Argentina's free kick in the 98 World Cup against Argentina. If such a combination is successful, it will be difficult for the opponent to defend. Liverpool used this to successfully overtake the score. Now the score has become 4:3. There is not much time left for Barcelona."

This free kick tactic was proposed by Liu Ting to Gerrard and the others. It perfectly replicated the classic goal of England and Argentina in the 98 World Cup. Argentina relied on a free kick that can be recorded in history to tie the score in stoppage time in the first half. In the second half, Beckham was sent off with a red card. In the end, Argentina eliminated England in a penalty shootout.

In that game, England and Argentina drew 2:2 and were eliminated in a penalty shootout. Beckham was blamed for losing the game for a long time, and Irving made a few goals and was scored by Alan Schiller.

And this time with the free kick, Liu Ting became the hero. This is a goal in stoppage time, a lore goal.

At that time, Gerrard took a free kick, but it looked like the shot went straight to the left side of the wall. Liu Ting quickly went around the wall to catch the ball and hit the goal immediately before the opponent reacted. Liu Ting's proficient basic skills gave him a lot of help.

Liu Ting's proposal to imitate the cooperation of the free kick was recognized by everyone, and Liu Ting also volunteered to be the one who shot the goal. He finally seized this opportunity and became a hero of the team.

Liu Ting and the whole Liverpool team celebrated excitedly on the sidelines. Some of the Barcelona players were extremely disappointed. They knew what the goal would mean at this time. Some of the Barcelona players kept signaling to the referee, asking the referee to call the Liverpool players back and start the game immediately. They still have a chance before the game is over, although only God knows how big this chance is.

Soon the Swiss referee called the Liverpool players back to restart the game, but the 2-minute stoppage time of the game was basically over, and the referee had to give Barcelona some time to attack.

Barcelona got more than a minute, and they completed two attacks, but Liverpool, who were defending the whole team at the last moment, did not give them a chance. In the end, Liverpool waited until the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

It is worth mentioning that at the last moment Heynckes used Liverpool's last substitution, and Zheng Zhi got the chance to play. He replaced Torres in order to delay time, but for Chinese fans, this is the first Chinese to play in the Champions League final, and will soon become the first Chinese to win the Champions League.

When the whistle sounded, the entire Liverpool team immediately cheered and celebrated. Liu Ting also ran to celebrate with everyone. When he ran to the sidelines, he took off his jersey and threw it to the fans in the stands. This is Liu Ting's habit of celebrating.

The Liverpool players who rushed to the sidelines celebrated wildly, and then, whoever suggested it first, everyone rushed over and lifted Heynckes up to celebrate.

The cheers of Liverpool fans were also heard from the stands at the right time.

"Champions...we are champions!"

"Champions...we are champions!"

The celebration was almost over, and everyone had to prepare for the next press interview and award presentation. Liu Ting found out that the Barcelona players were walking back to the locker room in frustration. Liu Ting walked over to a Barcelona player with his head down, hugged him gently and said, "Leo, don't be discouraged, you still have a chance next time."

Liu Ting's consolation was of course Messi, and the two of them were familiar with each other. The key was that he had won the game, so he would not be stingy with words of consolation.

Liverpool celebrated, and began to be surrounded by reporters on the sidelines. Even the fringe players of the team would be interviewed by reporters. For example, Zheng Zhi was surrounded by a group of Asian reporters, and Liu Ting, the team's main player and hero of the lore, naturally became one of the most popular characters among reporters.

Liu Ting was also very familiar with the reporter, and said naturally: "Win the championship? I think this is the great wish of all professional players. I am very happy to have won such an important championship in the second year of my career."

"The lore goal! Of course I am very happy to score the lore goal. To be able to final the opponent in a game like the Champions League final is something I only dreamed of before. Every child who likes football will have such a dream. In a crucial game, in the last few minutes of the game, I am the hero of the goal. I did not expect this dream to come true."

"Revenge? This is not revenge. I have always been grateful to Barcelona for training me, but I didn't get a place there and had to leave. I have no conflict with Barcelona."

After being interviewed by reporters on the sidelines for a while, Liu Ting followed the Liverpool team back to the locker room, put on the winning jersey prepared in advance and went out to accept the award.

Every team that reaches the Champions League final will prepare a special championship jersey in advance, but only one team's preparation will always be used, and the other prepared championship jersey can only be kept at the bottom of the box.

In the locker room, everyone had another champagne fight. After a while, they changed their jerseys after being reminded by the on-site staff, and returned to the field to prepare for the final awards ceremony.

First, the Barcelona player with a sad face came to the stage and took the silver medal unwillingly.Of course, the Barcelona players were not reconciled. They thought they had played a beautiful game, but in the last 5 minutes Liverpool scored two goals in succession.

After Barcelona received the silver medal and left the stage, the Liverpool team, which won the championship gold medal, took the stage to receive the award. UEFA President Platini came to the stage to present the award. He brought a group of European celebrities who came to the scene to present awards to Liverpool players one by one.

Heynckes went first for Liverpool, followed by Gerard Torres and Liu Ting, which also directly reflected the status and reputation of the various players in the Liverpool team.

When Platini presented the award to Liu Ting, he said: "Congratulations, you are the European champion for two consecutive years."

Liu Ting won the UEFA Cup in Bordeaux last year, and won the Champions League this year. He is indeed the European champion for two consecutive years.

When Liu Ting and Prince Albert of Monaco embraced, Albert said: "Congratulations, Liu! You have become the first Monaco to win the Champions League, and some of us in Monaco have also won the Champions League."

Because Monaco has a small population and most of them are rich immigrants, even professional players seldom appear. They only played professional players in low-level leagues in the early years. Now Liu Ting is the only professional player in Monaco, and now he has become the first Monaco to win the Champions League.

Then Prince Pierre of Monaco also said: "Liu, I am here to invite you to join our Monaco national team."

Monaco's royal family has always been football lovers. In the 03/04 season, the Monaco team reached the Champions League final. At that time, they had not yet become princes, but Albert, the Prince of Monaco, also went to watch the final in person. Unfortunately, Monaco lost 0:3 to Porto.

The Monaco national team was formed by Albert, but it has not been recognized by UEFA.

Look at those people in the Monaco national team, right?Some are casino croupiers in Monaco, some are palace guards in Monaco, and helicopter pilots. There are all kinds of people, but none of them are professional players. Even if the team wants to play a game, they have to notify the other party in advance to arrange a time. No wonder UEFA has not recognized the status of the Monaco national team, so the Monaco national team cannot participate in the European Cup and other competitions.

Liu Ting was noncommittal about Pierre's invitation.

Everyone hung up the gold medals, and then it was the moment of toasting. Gerard Torres Liu Ting stood in the middle and raised the flag of the Big Ears Cup together. The audience was full of cheers from Liverpool fans.

"Champions...we are champions!"
