[football] walk side by side

Of course the head coach would not ignore such a naked conflict between the two sides. When he came over angrily, the players on both sides pulled Tevez, Drogba and others away respectively.Needless to say, Ballack and Carlos Tevez each received a yellow card, while Drogba was sent off with a direct red card.

Chelsea will have to play with ten men in the next game.

The Chelsea players had nothing to say about that.

It is true that Tevez violated the rules of the game first, but Barabba's impulsive collision was also intentional, and Drogba's slap made even the most loyal Chelsea fans speechless.

Unwillingly, Cyril clenched the fist hanging by his side.

It shouldn't be.

In the original situation, Chelsea had the upper hand. As long as they can hold their breath, the goal will come sooner or later!However, Ballack and Drogba are obviously too emotionally controlled. Drogba's red card exit not only caused Chelsea to lose the opportunity to score a goal, but also reversed the situation on the field of the game. Next, Chelsea need What worries me is not how to score goals, but how to defend the tie with ten people!

15 minutes to the end of overtime.

Chelsea have gone from trying to score goals to trying to defend.

But now, all they can do is to defend the tie desperately, and then put the suspense of the outcome on the final penalty shootout.

After 15 minutes, the two sides ushered in a penalty shootout.

"The extra time is over. The score of the two sides is still 1-1 so far. Then they will enter a cruel penalty shootout. The Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar vs. the Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, the coaches of both sides have already started Submitted free throws, let's wish them luck!"

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle, many players lay down on the icy lawn in a state of exhaustion, and it took a long time for them to support each other and stand up. The 120-minute hard-pressing and running was a great challenge to the physical strength of both sides.But now is not the time for them to relax. If they want to win the final championship, at least they have to survive the next penalty shootout.

Cyril did not fall to the ground like the others, because Mourinho has always been strict with his physical training. Although the 120-minute game made him exhausted, it was not the case.He stood there for a while, trying to calm down his emotions and state.The next second, he felt a cold wetness sliding down his forehead.

He froze for a moment, then raised his head.

The raindrops all over the sky fell from the Moscow sky at night and fell lightly into his eyes.

It's raining.

"The last penalty shootout against Manchester United..." Someone in the stands of Chelsea fans whispered.This sentence obviously brought extremely bad associations to the fans present-in the cup match at the beginning of this season, Chelsea lost to Manchester United with a penalty score of 0-3.

No one answered his muttering, nor did he want to answer his muttering.

Powell sat quietly in his seat, but felt that his whole body was trembling slightly. He put his palms together and made a prayer posture.

He does not believe in God, but at this moment he sincerely longs for the existence of God.

After submitting the free throw list to the referee, Grant stood alone on the edge of the court.

In the luxurious box on the stand, Abramovich was sitting on a soft sofa, still stroking the rippling purple wine glass in his hand, staring at the stadium without any expression on his face.

"The first penalty was Manchester United... Carlos Tevez! The goal was scored! He was very resolute in his free throws, without changing the rhythm too much, but very powerful, which allowed him to easily score the free throw!"

"Next came Chelsea. Their first penalty was the German player Michael Ballack. The German national team captain has always been famous for his high hit rate in the heavyweight national team."

Ballack stood in front of the penalty spot.

Van der Sar raised his arms and stretched his body on the spot.

Ballack also did not change the direction of the serve frequently, he just looked up at the goal, then raised his leg suddenly, and drew the ball to the upper left corner!The Dutch goalkeeper immediately followed his movements, and rushed to the upper left corner as well!

"Van der Sar judged the ball accurately! But Ballack's speed was too fast! The ball almost slipped through Van der Sar's fingertips! The goal was scored! The free throws of both sides were tied in the first round."

Manchester United's second-round penalty shooter was Carrick.

He stood one or two meters away from the football. After a short run-up, his right foot seemed to be about to hit the ball, but in fact he quickly bypassed the ball. At the same time, his left foot followed quickly and kicked the ball towards in the exact opposite direction!

"Carrick chose to change feet temporarily! Cech was tricked by him! The Czech goalkeeper rushed in the opposite direction and the goal was scored! It's Manchester United 2-1 Chelsea!"

"Chelsea's second penalty shooter is...Cyril Slade. It seems that this second round is still a duel between midfielders..." The commentator was still sighing, but the referee had already blown whistled.

Cyril kicked at the moment the whistle sounded!

He seemed to be pushing hard, but the moment he touched the ball with his right foot, he turned it into a rub. The ball was picked up by the strength of his right foot, and it was directly hoisted to the middle where the goalkeeper was standing!

At the same time, Van der Sar happened to pounce on the right again. Naturally, the center was empty and unguarded, and the ball went into the net smoothly.

"Wow! Beautiful penalty kick! Van der Sar made a misjudgment. He thought Slade would send the ball to both sides, but unexpectedly, the opponent directly sent the penalty to the center! 2-2, the two sides returned to the same starting line again!"

"The next round is the third round, and Manchester United's penalty shooter is Ronaldo."

Cristiano glanced at the ball and retreated a few meters by himself.He looked as if he was going to run up, but in fact he ran extremely slowly, and then paused as he got closer to the ball, and finally changed his foot to shoot!

"Ohhh!! Cech saved the ball!! Such a pity... Maybe Ronaldo tried to confuse Cech with many changes in the middle, but unfortunately, he not only confuses Cech, but also confuses himself... The ball was a bit high, Cech blocked the ball back with his face! Manchester United missed a penalty!"

Five seconds later, Blues deputy Lampard stood in front of the penalty spot.

The always calm vice-captain also maintained his composure at this critical moment. He didn't notice Van der Sar's intentional interference with his movements, and calmly raised his foot and pushed.

The ball crashed into the net!

3-2!

"Lampard scored the goal steadily and Chelsea took a temporary lead 3-2!"

In the fourth round, winger Nani was in charge of free throws on behalf of Manchester United. Compared with the old players, the performance of this young player was a bit nervous and green. Fortunately, he seemed to have pretty good luck. The ball rubbed against the post and rolled into the net.

The initiative once again returned to Chelsea's side.

As long as the Chelsea players in this round can successfully score this goal, then the victory of this game will fall into their hands in an instant.

In the stands, the fans of both sides were staring at the goal, occasionally raised their heads, and glanced at the podium that had already started to be built.

On that simple, small podium, the famous big ear cup was quietly placed there, waiting for someone to lift it up.

Van der Sar exhaled and threw the ball to Terry.

As Chelsea captain, John Terry was obviously the most suitable person to complete this last goal.

The rain is getting heavier.

The jersey on his body began to become sticky, and the dark green grass was gradually stained with water droplets.It was a bit cold in Moscow at night. When the cold rain fell down the open top of the stadium and climbed densely on everyone's face, the wet and cold touch became more and more obvious.

Cyril couldn't help shrinking his arms.

Terry squatted down and squared the ball.

Then he retreated a distance, and before the run-up, he lowered his head, adjusted the captain's armband on his arm, then started, raised his foot, and shot!

Van der Sar rushed to the upper left of the goal, but Terry's penalty kick rolled to the upper right corner of the goal!

The Manchester United goalkeeper didn't even have time to suffer and despair because of this mistake. The next second, he was surprised to see that the ball flew away from the goal and landed outside the upper right corner of the goal.

Missed the penalty!

The captain of the blue army collapsed on the lawn powerlessly, the rain hit his pale face unscrupulously, and also fell on the grass in front of him.

In front of him, where he took the free throw, there was a little rain. It was this little rain that caused the Chelsea captain to slip and miss this crucial free throw!

"...It's a pity...it's a pity..." The commentator couldn't help shaking his head at the moment: "If it wasn't for the rain, this would definitely be a wonderful penalty shootout..."

Lampard walked over and helped Terry up.

In the VIP box on the stand, Abu sat on the sofa no longer comforted, and stood up uncontrollably.

The penalty shootout continues.

In the sixth round, Manchester United's Anderson and Chelsea's Kalou were in charge of free throws. Both scored the ball smoothly.

The seventh round is the legendary Manchester United player Giggs, and Chelsea player Anelka who came off the bench.

The former successfully tricked Petr Cech with skilled fake moves and helped Manchester United score another goal.The pressure was back on Chelsea's side once again, Anelka stood in front of the penalty spot, and just a second before his penalty, Van der Sar made a small horizontal left arm.

As a result, Anelka kicked the ball to the left subconsciously!

The tall Van der Sar successfully confiscated the ball in his arms!

"This goal... didn't go in! Ohhhhhhhh! Van der Sar saved the most crucial goal!! 6-5!!! The champion of the 2007/2008 UEFA Champions League is - Manchester United! Congratulations to Manchester United!"

At night, the Ruzhniki Stadium echoed the joyful singing of the Manchester United fans, and the Chelsea fans turned and left in silence.Grant slumped on the coach's bench, and Abramovich turned around with a livid face.

It's still raining.

In the long rain, the entire Luzhniki Stadium became blurred, and the cheers and sobs seemed to fade away. Cyril stood still and closed his eyes in silence.
