There is a dream called football

Chapter 224 Fighting Overtime

In the second half of overtime, the coaches of both sides have already had to consider the candidates for the penalty shootout.

Capello here.

First of all, Piero must be the last one, used as the finale, and the first one is also very important. After much deliberation, Capello chose Ibrahimovic. This is also deliberate. After all, Ibrahimovic's nerves are relatively strong.

In the middle three, Capello stuffed Nedved, Emerson and Camoranesi in.

In Capello's mind, this is the most perfect combination of penalty kicks. On Liverpool's side, Benitez will consider a little more. In fact, he still wants to solve the problem in 120 minutes. After all, if he scores another goal, Liverpool will have the advantage of away goals.

But Benitez must also prepare for the penalty shootout.

First of all, Gerrard must be the last one. The captain is the finale. This is very important. The first...

Benitez deliberated and chose Alonso.

During the usual team training, Alonso has a good grasp of penalty kicks. The Spaniard's footwork is very good, basically referring to where to hit.

The three in the middle, Li Qiao, Harman, and Baros were stuffed in, and the three were also the three trusted by Benitez.

The time passed by every minute and every second, and the two sides seemed to have to prepare for a penalty shootout, but at 115 minutes, a miracle happened. Ibrahimovic suddenly kicked in front of the penalty area, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

Ibrahimovic has attacked so many fairy balls in his life that many people have become numb, and it is the same this time. It is such an unreasonable kick of the cloud piercing arrow, and Dudek has no time to react and the ball is scored.

Juventus overtook the score 2-1.

Juventus fans began to celebrate, semi-final, semi-final, semi-final.

"Let's go to the semi-finals."

Flying cats flew over the Juventus fans, who shouted excitedly, "We are in the semi-finals."

On the other side, the Liverpool fans who came from afar were as quiet as death. At the last moment, they still lost.

Some little fans are already crying.

"we lose."

"No, we shouldn't cry."

"Liverpool never walk alone."

At this time, the most touching scene appeared. All Liverpool fans held up their red scarves and began to sing in unison that you will never walk alone.

Gerrard, like his teammates, was very moved.

someone cried.

And Benitez walked towards Capello, "Congratulations to your team for qualifying."

The game is not over yet, Capello is a bit embarrassed, but he still holds his hand in Benitez's hand.

"Thank you."

At the last moment of the game, it seemed that there was not much suspense, but at this moment, Liverpool got a corner kick.

Even Dudek rushed up this time. You must know that Liverpool only needs one goal, so they will eliminate Juventus with the advantage of more away goals.

At this time, the Juventus fans also became nervous, and they might be counter-lore.

Alonso goes to take the corner, he takes a deep breath, it's very important, he must not screw it up.

"It can't be messed up."

Alonso curled the ball in and Hyypia grabbed the header.

Benitez's heart was about to jump out, but the goal missed.

"Not in!"

"..."

Just as the Liverpool players were running back, the referee pointed to the corner flag area, indicating that the ball was still a corner kick. It turned out that Hypia's header hit the opponent's head.

The corner kicks continued, and the pressure on the hearts of both sides continued. In fact, even Liverpool fans hoped that the game would end soon, because the pressure was indeed too great.

This pressure is not just a mountain.

Dudek also didn't go back and continued to participate in the second corner kick.

Just as Alonso was about to kick off for the second time, Gerrard ran over and signaled me to kick the ball.

"Let me do it."

Alonso ran into the penalty area, and the Jie team came to kick off in person. Could this ball have changed?
really.

When Gerrard kicked off, Li Qiao quickly withdrew from the penalty area, that is to say, made a short corner kick.

This is a hockey term, which was later borrowed by football, and the effect is actually very good.

After Li Qiao received the ball, he was about to make a cross. At this time, there was a loosening in the Juventus penalty area, because some people wanted to go out and attack Li Qiao, but most of them still wanted to stand in their seats.

Li Qiao looked in the middle, and kicked the ball to the back. Who is waiting there?

Everyone turned to look.

Oh my goodness.

Dudek was pointing back, and Li Qiao was looking for him with the ball. After catching the ball, he hit it with his head. The ball...

Capello watched intently and the ball went in.

He knelt down.

And a person passed by him, he was Benitez, and the little old man suddenly rushed towards his player like a sprinter.

lore.

The Liverpool fans turned high, they didn't care, and all rushed to the edge of the stands.

Gerrard was very worried when he saw it. He rushed to the stands, "Go back, go back, it's too dangerous."

Because someone has already fallen, Gerrard was very worried about making another Heysel, and Liverpool fans also realized that this was too dangerous, so they quickly retreated.

This time it is Juventus' turn to be in a hurry, there are still about a few minutes left, if the score of 2 to 2 is maintained until the end, then Juventus will be out.

Capeloma immediately replaced Trezeguet and played three strikers. He was going to reverse at the last moment, while Liverpool retreated across the board. As long as the 2-2 score is kept, then the victory will belong to Liverpool.

Juventus is also really good, their last few attacks were very threatening, Dudek blocked high, especially blocked a header from Trezeguet from close range.

Finally, when the referee blew the final whistle, the Liverpool players fell to the ground, and Gerrard covered his face and cried.

Li Qiao and Dudek hugged each other. When passing the ball, what Li Qiao saw was that everyone in the penalty area was marked to death.

And the only point that was exposed was Dudek, so he decisively passed the ball to the goalkeeper. Unexpectedly, the effect was very good and the goal was scored.

Capello was as uncomfortable as swallowing bitter coptis, but there was no way, this was what he had to bear.

This time Benitez reached out again, and Capello remembered the scene a few minutes ago, when he was still the winner, and the person opposite was a snake, but after a few minutes, everything was completely reversed.

It can only be said that this is football.

Although Capello was bitter, he did not lose his demeanor. He still held hands with Benitez.

"Congratulations, I hope Liverpool win the final championship."

"Me too, if you qualify for Juventus, then I want to say the same to you."

The two teams passed each other, and Liverpool reached the semi-finals of this season's Champions League.
