The Young Lion

Bayern Munich substituted two players in stoppage time after 120 minutes, Sauer and Ziegler.

Obviously, it was a penalty kick if it was replaced.

After 90 minutes of regular time plus 30 minutes of extra time, the score remains unchanged, and then we will enter a brutal penalty shootout! This reminds us of last season's Champions League final, Millwall in the penalty shootout 3:0 victory over Real Madrid, Hall's order of penalty shooters also became a hot topic after the game. How will Millwall perform at the Olympiastadion in Munich today? Bayern Munich has the advantage of home court. Tens of thousands of fans put pressure on their opponents and support Bayern, which is a positive factor for them, can they take another step towards the dream they have been chasing for 23 years?.

Players from both sides prepared for a penalty shootout on the sidelines. Substitutes and replaced players also came over to cheer up their teammates. The team doctor and masseur gave muscle massages to the players who had fought for 120 minutes.

Aldridge is considering the order of penalty shooters.

It is basically impossible to prepare for this matter before the game, and you can practice penalty kicks, but it is difficult for the head coach to come up with a list of penalty shooters in his mind, because the prepared penalty shooters may not last until the last minute during the game. Then the plan will be disrupted.

Klinsmann said to Aldridge with a solemn expression: How about like last season's final? Goalkeepers, defenders, as long as they all score, the pressure on the opponent will be very great.

Aldridge glanced thoughtfully at Bout, who looked calm. He turned his head to look at Kahn not far away, and finally shook his head and said, That might be too risky.

The first time the trick is used, it has an unexpected effect. But Hitzfield couldn't have imagined that Millwall would arrange the penalty shooter in this way. In addition, Millwall made the goalkeeper in the Champions League final last season. The order of the defender and the midfielder to take the penalty kick caused a sensation after the game. It can be said that it has almost become a classic.

Even if the Bayern Munich players see Millwall sending a penalty shooter like this again, they are probably mentally prepared.

In addition, let Bout play first to face Kahn, Aldridge believes that this is not to put pressure on Bayern Munich. Instead, put pressure on Bout.

Every generation of goalkeepers almost killed many excellent goalkeepers in the same period. Born in this era, Bout was very unlucky. Although he was not called a goalkeeper, he could only be inferior to Kahn and Lehmann in the national team. , What will be the psychological impact?

Kahn has just been promoted to become the main goalkeeper of the national team this season. When he was in high spirits, even though Boote won a lot of honors with Millwall, he still ranked third in the national team.

Aldridge decided on the order of penalty shooters.

before the penalty shootout begins. Eleven people on the field walked to the center circle, and Bout hugged each teammate before walking to the goal. Then he walked towards the goal and Bayern Munich took the penalty first.

The remaining 10 Millwall players in the center circle lined up shoulder to shoulder and stared at the goal with serious expressions.

On the sidelines, Aldridge called the coaching staff, team doctor and other staff to his side. They also hooked up and fought in a row, and the substitutes followed suit.

This seems to have become a Millwall tradition as well.

When the cruel penalty shootout comes, they have to stand together, from sporadic individuals to a powerful whole, not only to show absolute confidence, but also to give strength to the players on the field.

As the Bayern Munich players walked to take the penalty, the stands fell silent, with the home fans hoping to reduce the pressure and noise on the players.

Basler was the first to stand in front of the penalty.

With a strong kick, the ball went straight to the dead corner. Bout guessed the right direction, but the ball was too fast and the angle was tricky, so there was nothing he could do.

Bayern Munich are off to a good start!

There was a huge cheer from the stands, and then there was an uproar, and they were going to make more noise to disturb the Millwall players.

Who will Millwall send? Bute? Or Materazzi? Oh, Bute didn't come out, it was Larsson who went to the penalty spot, and he came to take the first penalty.

Facing Kahn, Larson calmly pushed and shot the dead corner, but Kahn made a wrong judgment and jumped to the other side.

Larson resisted the pressure and scored the first goal for Millwall.

Saul, a free throw.

Henry, penalty.

Jankel, free throw.

Pirlo made a penalty.

Mateus, penalty.

Materazzi makes a penalty.

In the first four rounds, both teams scored all penalty kicks! At the beginning of the fifth round, Bayern Munich was dominated by Effenberg. It was Tiger who scored a header at the beginning of the game to help Bayern Munich equalize the total score. Facing this penalty , will he give Bayern Munich another reassurance?.

Effenberg stood in front of the penalty kick with no fear on his face. He also volleyed vigorously from a tricky angle. Bout guessed the right direction again, but this kind of ball made it impossible for the goalkeeper to catch it.

5:4, Bayern Munich completely lost the pressure to Millwall, now let's see who the last player of Millwall is, as expected, it is Nedved!

Nedved didn't even look at Kahn, and directly volleyed the ball into the net from the run-up. Kahn was also very annoyed. Keep the ball out.

All five rounds of penalty kicks were scored by both sides! Then enter the penalty of sudden death!

It was Ziegler who stood up and took the penalty in Bayern Munich's sixth place. He cheated Butt with his kick and shot the ball into the opposite direction of the goal.

It was the turn of Millwall's sixth player.

But no one went out for a long time.

Hey, it's your turn.

Southgate touched Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho seemed to have recovered from a daze, and then released his teammates' shoulders to prepare for a penalty kick.

Wait, or I'll go!

Southgate was a little worried when he saw Ronaldinho's state.

Ronaldinho shook his head firmly, and then walked towards the penalty spot step by step.

After entering the sudden death method, the penalty shooter can take the penalty at will, but the players who have taken the penalty cannot take the penalty until all 11 players have taken the penalty.

Aldridge just said lightly before the start of the penalty shootout: If there is no winner after five rounds of penalty kicks, Ronaldinho. Lampard. The three of Zambrotta go first.

What he meant was that any of the three could go. There is no order of assignment, but maybe he said Ronaldinho's name first, and everyone thought that Ronaldinho must be in the sixth round.

In the hustle and bustle of the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Ronaldinho slowly came to the penalty kick, picked up the ball and kissed it, and then set his position. He took a few steps back, ran up and shot, and the ball hit the net.

But as soon as he scored the ball, the referee signaled that the penalty kick was invalid.

Ronaldinho was dumbfounded. The referee signaled that he hadn't blown the whistle yet.

Seeing Ronaldinho's performance, Aldrich's heart suddenly hung up.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, so he went to take a penalty kick. Although the goal was scored, it reflected how nervous he was from the side!

Ronaldinho made another free throw, this time he waited for the referee to blow his whistle.

Looking at the ball, hearing the noise from the stands, Ronaldinho was full of thoughts.

Defending the European Champions Cup, this supreme honor, is the expectation of teammates. The support of the fans, as well as his own shining moments

The ball must be scored. must, must

Running up, stepping on a fixed pace and preparing to shoot, just as Ronaldinho made the move, the audience exclaimed.

He slipped and fell!

When he slipped and fell, his toe touched the ball, and the damn ball rolled slowly towards the goal. Kahn was also deceived by Ronaldinho's slipping action, but he reacted quickly. After moving to the right, he braked urgently and then struggled towards He reached out to pounce in the middle and fished the ball out from the goal line!

Ronaldinho, who slipped to the ground and watched the ball miss, felt like a bolt from the blue. He didn't even realize that after 120 minutes of fierce battle, he slipped and fell after exerting strength just now, and his thigh was already strained. He was completely unaware of the physical pain that drilled into his mind, because his heart was a hundred times more painful than that!

The noise in my ears turned into loud cheers, that was the revelry of the Bayern Munich home fans.

Kahn stood up and ran towards his teammates with open arms, rushing past Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho fell to the ground on his back, covering his face with his hands, tears pouring out of his fingers like a flash flood

Self-blame is like a devil devouring all his emotions, as if there is a voice echoing in his heart all the time.

You failed everyone, fans, coaches, and teammates!

Bayern Munich's players and coaches all rushed into the field from the bench, and they ran all over the field to celebrate the reversal!

The penalty shootout is over. The total score of the UEFA Champions League semi-final between Bayern Munich and Millwall was 1:1. The penalty shootout was 6:5. Bayern Munich won. After 23 years, they will once again attack the European Champions Cup champion! Although the defending champion Millwall fell in the penalty shootout, but their performance left us in awe. Ronaldinho missed the most important penalty, but you can't blame him too much. He is only 19 years old. Reminiscent of Henry, Pirlo, Materazzi, Bout, Zambrotta and these young men in their early 20s, Millwall has done the best they can, but with such a heroic way out, their fans may would be sorry.

In the stands, thousands of Lions fans sang loudly after a brief silence.

In the glory days, the fans weaved many catchy fresh songs, but in this moment, they sang that original, persistent song again.

No one likes us, it doesn't matter! Wherever you are, we'll be with you until death

Thousands of people sang collectively, even overshadowing the cheers of Bayern Munich's home fans.

At the moment when Ronaldinho slipped and Kahn blocked the ball in front of the goal line, everyone around Aldridge lowered their heads in frustration, but he still stared at the field with his head held high.

Bayern Munich was celebrating, and many of Millwall's players in the center circle fell.

Henry sat on the ground with his hands on his knees, lowered his head and sighed deeply.

For two consecutive seasons, he fell to the semi-finals. He lost to Millwall in Monaco last year and lost to Bayern Munich in Millwall today.

Zambrotta and Lampard put their heads on their hips and lowered their heads in a numb manner. Materazzi lay directly on the ground and looked at the night sky, closing his eyes with self-blame.

If he can block Jankel's header in the early stages of the game, Effenberg will definitely not be able to score!

Larson, Nedved, and Southgate are comforting their teammates.

At the end of the game, reporters and cameramen from the sidelines also rushed into the field, trying to capture the expressions of the players and coaches at close range.

When the camera came in front of Aldridge, Aldridge pushed away with one hand, and then he turned around and walked towards Heathfield, smiling and shaking hands with each other.

Congratulations to Bayern Munich for qualifying to the final, you deserve the victory.

Heathfield didn't expect the young marshal to be so gracious at this moment, he just said thank you and didn't know what to say, did he comfort him?

After Aldridge congratulated Heathfield, he turned around again and strode towards the goal.

At this moment, Bayern Munich, which has advanced, seems to be unimportant.

The focus of the live camera was on Aldridge, watching him step by step towards the Brazilian boy who fell on the penalty spot.

People wonder how he will treat Ronaldinho who missed a penalty kick? (to be continued...) ()
