Starting from entering Kawazu

Chapter 197 Triple Crown

The turning point of the game came at 19 minutes.

Harvey's through pass was blocked by Maniche who fell to the ground, and the ball was quickly passed to Kaka's feet. Kaka faced national teammate Edmilson's close pressure and changed direction, and then sent a through pass.

When Van Persie received the ball in the penalty area, he picked up the ball directly. Puyol couldn't react in time, and was wiped by Van Persie. It was too late to turn around.

The referee's whistle blew, a penalty kick!

On the sidelines, Mourinho jumped up immediately. It was really time to get a penalty at this point.

The Manchester City fans also cheered, it is definitely beneficial to score first, and Manchester City will defend more calmly behind.

Kaka hugged the ball and put it away, then took a step back and stared at Valdes.

Valdés reacted quickly, so Kaka didn't dare to be careless. If he didn't score a penalty kick, it would be difficult to handle, and the team's morale would probably be hit.

After the whistle blew, Kaka stepped out, but quickly made a false move under his feet, and paused for a while.

Valdez also moved quickly under his feet, but found that Kaka kicked the ball to the other side. He wanted to move, but it was too late. He could only watch the ball fly into the goal. 1:0, Manchester City took the lead.

Kaka excitedly opened his arms and ran to the sidelines. He was greeted by warm cheers from Manchester City fans.

Mourinho on the sidelines also waved his fists excitedly. In this kind of final, a penalty kick may change the trend of the game, so that the side that scores first will win the final championship.

On the other side, Rijkaard frowned, apparently not expecting to fall behind with a penalty so soon.

Originally, Rijkaard wanted to use the ball to consume the opponent's physical strength, and then waited for an opportunity to try to break the opponent's goal.

But now Barcelona must speed up the pace, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will eventually consume itself to death.

Rijkaard then pulled Harvey over and gave some advice, and Harvey immediately communicated with his teammates.

After the game re-kick-off, Barcelona really accelerated the speed of passing the ball, and at the same time relied on Eto'o's speed to constantly attack Manchester City's defensive depth.

Both Ledlikin and Ferreira turned around relatively slowly, so defending Eto'o was all handed over to Carvalho.

Carvalho also tried his best, but it is really difficult to defend Eto'o.

In 20 minutes, Ronaldinho went straight, and Eto'o quickly dribbled forward after receiving the ball. Carvalho didn't dare to play, so he could only follow. Eto'o flashed a slight angle and immediately shot the ball. Save the bottom line.

Cech is still in a brave state. If it weren't for him, the goal must have been scored.

Now think about the news revealed by the media before, can Eto'o's state be what they described?
In 24 minutes, Giuly used his experience to overturn Abed, who was chasing, and then hoisted in at a 45-degree angle. After Eto'o stopped the ball sideways and chested, he used continuous acceleration and sudden braking to shake away Carvalho, and then followed For Ledlikin's supplementary defense, he lightly pushed, and an Iniesta came out from behind Ronaldinho, and pushed directly to the far corner.

At the critical moment, it was Cech who made a crazy save again, blocking the ball out of the baseline with a single palm.

Cech got up and roared to the sky. He is in very good condition now, and he seems to have the meaning of being possessed by the goalkeeper.

Iniesta covered his eyes and couldn't believe it. They often kicked this kind of cooperation in training, and the goalkeeper generally didn't respond.

But now, Iniesta thinks it may be a bit difficult.

Of course, Mourinho also yelled loudly on the sidelines, asking the two wings to assist in the defense.

In terms of speed, Abed and Bolt are faster.

Now let the two help defend, the main purpose is to limit Eto'o and Giuly.

As long as these two are guarded, the passing between Ronaldinho, Harvey and Iniesta alone is still difficult to threaten Manchester City's goal. After all, Manchester City's three midfielders are not a display.

At this time, the camera also showed the Argentine teenager Messi on the bench, but the boy's face was very calm, and he couldn't see anything.

When Barcelona was in a stalemate before, Messi would always be sent on by Rijkaard, and then Barcelona would quickly break the ice.

But now is the Champions League final, Rijkaard should not have such courage.

In 30 minutes, Ronaldinho threw away Maniche and Mendes in a row in the midfield, and then tried a long-range shot himself, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the post.

Two minutes later, Ronaldinho made another long-range shot, this time it was even more outrageous. It seems that Ronaldinho's foot wind is not smooth today.

Afterwards, Manchester City made continuous counterattacks. Van Persie faced Valdés in the penalty area twice, but Valdés fell to the ground and grabbed the ball once. Valdes guessed the direct shot, blocked the near corner and saved the ball.

For this, Van Persie was also annoyed. This was a good opportunity to expand the score, but unfortunately he didn't seize it.

If you enter one at random, I'm afraid Barcelona will have to explain it.

The final was really stressful, even though Van Persie is already a famous star, but it was still unavoidable. When there should be pressure, there will still be mistakes.

The halftime ended quickly, and Manchester City entered the locker room with a 1-0 lead.

At this time, Jia Yi and Mansur were also chatting about the situation of the team.

Naturally, Mansour felt that the acquisition of Manchester City was the right thing to do. These players have excellent abilities, and they really deserve to be rich players.

Mansour has basically completed the expansion of the club, and his cronies have entered Manchester City one after another. As soon as the Champions League final is over, he will hold a press conference to announce that he has become the new owner of Manchester City.

And Jia Yi made a request for Poyet. Poyet has done a good job in charge of the reserve team and has already demonstrated the basic potential of a famous coach.

Jia Yi intends to let him coach Oldham Athletic in the new season and lead the team to quickly overtake.

To this, Mansour also agreed.

He has a lot of money, so of course he wouldn't argue with Jia Yi about a coach of the reserve team, and he wouldn't ask for any liquidated damages.

Jia Yi then asked Ilham Jiang and several players from the reserve team such as Kanter and Salah. As a result, Mansour gave Jia Yi the same for free. The reserve team players don't pay much attention to it. It is estimated that the new season will follow the same route as Manchester United, showing off their wealth all over the world.

That being the case, Jia Yike will be much happier. When the new season comes, dig a few more Manchester City players, and Oldham Athletic will soon become the strongest team in League One.

It must be no problem to hit the British Championship, but next season to reach the Super League, so as to make a triple jump into the Champions League, it will definitely shock the world of football.

Based on the relationship between Jia Yi and Guardiola, it is estimated that Guardiola will also give the green light and will not embarrass his former boss too much.

Of course, the premise is that Jia Yi doesn't empty out the Manchester City reserve team.

The two were chatting, and Jia Yi was also very happy. He was really lucky to meet someone with so much money and a lot of stupid people. In a few years, Oldham Athletic can become the new Manchester City. Can make a name for himself.

After all, Kanter, Salah and others are all excellent.

The two chatted for a while, and the second half began.

The process of the game did not look as good as expected.

In fact, the finals of many competitions are not good-looking.

The iron barrel formation arranged by Mourinho completely dumbfounded Rijkaard this time.

Facing the recovery of the two wings, the quick defense, the three midfielders running and intercepting, and the three defenders concentrating on defense, the Barcelona players are also a little bit powerless.

Especially after many encounters, the confidence of the Barcelona players dropped a lot very quickly.

Seeing this scene, Rijkaard also quickly began to adjust the lineup, Messi came up and replaced Giuly.

Barcelona relied on Messi's vitality to create several opportunities.

It's a pity that Cech still played very bravely and resolved these crises.

As Puyol's long-range shot flew into the stands, the referee blew the whistle. Manchester City defeated Barcelona 1-0 and won the 2005-2006 UEFA Champions League!
They also once again achieved the honor of the Triple Crown!
