Legendary Godfather

beep!

The referee Cakir blew the whistle to start the second half of the game, and the scene instantly became heated.

The cheers of the fans from both sides are even louder, and the cheers are endless!

The players on both sides were also fully committed and tried their best.

Both sides are aiming to win this game.

The ball was stolen, and Kanter in the midfield directly intercepted the football from Dzeko's feet!

Sure enough, Roma's offense still needs Dzeko to play an important role. However, during the halftime break, Tong Yi emphasized this issue and did not give you Dzeko space at all.

No, before Dzeko could completely stop the football, the football was stabbed away by Kanter.

Kanter immediately rushed over and kicked the football away.

The football rolled to Casemiro's feet.

Only then did Crystal Palace completely complete the steal.

Shhhhhhh!

The Roma fans at the scene immediately booed the Crystal Palace players, and some even cursed Kante crazily and greeted Kante's family.

But at this time, Kanter's focus was on the game and he didn't notice at all.

After passing the ball, Kanter moved forward crazily.

Seeing this, Casemiro did not move forward with the ball. Kanter pounced on him, so he had to stay in the backcourt as appropriate.

Therefore, he immediately made a diagonal pass and quickly passed the football diagonally to the side.

After Salah received the ball on the wing, he passed the football directly back, then accelerated forward and rushed forward. Florenzi was shocked and immediately turned around and accelerated to chase Salah!

Yes, Florenzi thought Salah was playing a one-two with Cancelo, so he immediately chased after Salah.

Unexpectedly, Cancelo, who received the ball, did not pass the ball at all. Instead, he held the ball directly forward, and then quickly passed the football to the center with a cross before Roma's defensive players came forward. The football rolled quickly towards De Bruyne, and Roma's midfielder De Rossi immediately pounced from behind, preventing De Bruyne from easily stopping the ball.

Unexpectedly, De Bruyne seemed to see De Rossi rushing towards him with eyes in the back of his head. Instead of stopping the ball, he stepped on the ball and pulled the ball around.

The football quickly rolled past the crotch of the oncoming De Rossi and towards the Crystal Palace penalty area.

And De Bruyne also happened to turn away from De Rossi and chase the football!

De Rossi immediately reached out and pulled De Bruyne to the ground.

If there is no foul at this time, the Roma team will be in danger!

Bang bang bang, the Roma fans at the scene gave De Rossi applause, and they recognized De Rossi's foul.

There was nothing wrong with the foul on this ball, and it was even timely.

Di Francesco on the sidelines also kept applauding to show his approval.

Free kick, Crystal Palace got a chance to take a direct free kick in the frontcourt.

In fact, the position of the ball is still

It's pretty good, slightly to the left of center. But the distance from the goal is still a little far, about 32 meters. It is actually a bit difficult to score a direct free kick from this position, but the Crystal Palace fans are very excited and full of confidence in this goal!

Because they have a lot of free kick masters in the team, and there is also a top mid-to-long-range free kick master like Ronaldo, this is simply God helping their Crystal Palace. This is definitely an excellent opportunity for them to equalize the score.

In the eyes of Crystal Palace fans, this goal must be scored!

Roma fans don’t think there’s anything wrong with this goal? Although Ronaldo's direct free kick is very powerful, the ball is indeed a bit far from the goal. Ronaldo should not be able to score.

But Crystal Palace fans are confident.

At the same time, Ronaldo himself is also very confident.

The ball completely entered his shooting range, and it was a relatively perfect distance for him.

Roma fans were still very nervous when they saw Ronaldo walking towards the football.

Even Di Francesco on the sidelines was very nervous. He kept reminding the Roma team's wall to pay attention to taking off and try to block Ronaldo's shot as much as possible.

The Roma players nodded and expressed their understanding.

But they are also a little worried in their hearts. After all, Ronaldo is famous for his free kicks, which are very dangerous.

Hennessy in front of the goal is also very cautious and a little nervous.

Hennessey immediately raised his hands to remind the Roma team's wall to move and stand in the best position to seal the goal.

At this time, Hennessey was standing in front of the goal and guessing what kind of footwork Ronaldo would use to handle the ball, and what angle would he take a direct free kick from?

He took a deep breath and stared closely at the stadium, staring at Ronaldo in front of the football.

Yes, at this time, only Ronaldo was standing in front of the football at Crystal Palace, and no one was covering the Portuguese. It can be seen that this is the confidence of the Portuguese!

In this position, Ronaldo has such confidence.

Is this ball an elevator ball, a curve ball in the ordinary sense, or a violent long-distance ball?

Hennessey frantically replayed Ronaldo's typical free kick goals in his mind, pondering the full movements of Ronaldo's various free kicks, and recalling the arc trajectories of these serving movements.

Hennessy took a deep breath and stared at Ronaldo with burning eyes, very confident.

His psychological construction is complete.

beep!

Just at this time

, Turkish referee Cakir directly blew the whistle to serve.

The fans on both sides of the court fell silent at this moment. Their eyes were fixed on the stadium and on Ronaldo. They did not dare to express their anger and stared carefully, fearing that something would be missed.

At this moment, Ronaldo in front of the football suddenly moved.

He also took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, then bowed his body and took two steps in small, extremely fast steps, and then rushed towards the football.

Seeing this, Hennessy's pupils in front of the goal tightened and he subconsciously moved a step to the right side of the goal.

Hennessy felt that Ronaldo's goal should be a super violent long-distance rolling free kick, directly through the jumping wall, and then directly into the lower right corner of the goal.

Because the wall Hennessey formed during this ball blocked the right half of the goal, he stayed on the left side.

Therefore, after making this judgment, he immediately took a step to the right, ready to pounce at any time.

But he didn't dare to be 100% sure that Ronaldo would definitely hit a ground ball with this ball, so he didn't make much movement at this time. Instead, he stared at the action of Ronaldo. Rely on experience to judge this series of actions of Ronaldo to determine what kind of ball Ronaldo will shoot?

Watching Ronaldo's actions, Hennessy was a little confused.

Yesterday, he saw many direct free kicks from Ronaldo. From the comparison of Ronaldo's current actions and the video, it is very likely that this ball is a ground ball, but the possibility of an elevator ball cannot be ruled out!

Then, he instantly solidified his idea!

This is definitely an elevator ball!

c. In such an important game, this guy Ronaldo will definitely choose the shot that he is most familiar with, the most reliable and has the highest success rate. What shot is that? That must be Ronaldo's iconic famous stunt - the elevator ball!

So, Hennessy took another step back with his right foot and stared at the football.

At this moment, Ronaldo rushed to the football in an instant, and then hit the football hard with his kick.

With a bang, the football deformed tremendously under Ronaldo's feet, and then shot quickly towards the Roma goal.

The speed of the ball is very fast, like a bolt of lightning.

The most important thing is that the football did not fly forward as quickly as Hennessey imagined, and then drift left and right, up and down, but shot straight and close to the turf towards the lower right corner of Roma's goal.

Hennessey was shaken both physically and mentally—really a ground ball?

He felt regretful now. He should have firmed up his judgment just now and made a firm save. There should have been no problems with the ball.

Who knew that if I thought too much, problems would arise.

His ball is not

It was not deceived by Ronaldo, but by himself.

Hennessy felt really regretful in his heart. He wished he could turn back time. Before he could go back dozens of seconds, he would definitely have firmed up his inner judgment and pounce on this ground ball!

What makes Hennessy even more desperate is that his teammates were also deceived.

The Roma team's wall jumped up at this moment. He also believed that Ronaldo would hit an elevator ball, so they jumped up one after another. When they jumped up, they discovered that this guy Ronaldo had actually kicked a ground ball.

The football rolled quickly past their feet and shot straight into the lower right corner of the goal.

The speed of the ball was very fast, like a bolt of lightning, giving Hennessey and the Roma players no chance to adjust. This made the Roma fans at the scene very desperate and their faces were ashen.

At this moment, the Crystal Palace fans were jumping with excitement. This goal will undoubtedly be scored!

Although Hennessey in front of the goal did not give up and tried his best to save the ball, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the ball could not be saved. Hennessey made a wrong judgment. Although he tried his best to remedy the situation, it was obviously too late.

c. Ronaldo's ground ball free kick was very fast, like an arrow off the string, instantly shot through the Roma team's wall, and then shot straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

With a clang, the football hit the goal post hard and then immediately bounced into the Roma goal.

Just five minutes into the second half of the game, the away team Crystal Palace scored a goal, and the goal was their striker Ronaldo!

The entire Olympic Stadium was completely silent, and the Roma fans were dumbfounded.

How did this allow the Crystal Palace people to equalize the score?

Yes, after scoring this goal, Crystal Palace evened the score of the game, and the two sides tied the game at three to three. As for the total score, Crystal Palace is 8-6, leading Roma by two goals. What's more important is that Crystal Palace's away goals have also come to three goals. Roma has no away goal advantage!

Even if the Roma equalized the score in the following game and changed the score to 8-8, they would not be able to eliminate Crystal Palace with away goals. Both sides are going into overtime!

On the contrary, if Crystal Palace scores another goal, the advantage of away goals will come to Crystal Palace. By then, Crystal Palace will have four away goals!

This is a very, very, very, very bad situation for the Roma team.

Di Francesco frowned and was very angry.

He raised his hands and pointed at Hennessey. How could you make a mistake on this ball? You should be able to save this ball. Before the game, you watched a collection of Ronaldo's free kicks for a long time. You shouldn't have any problems with this ball. What's going on?
