Chapter 306: The dramatic Champions League championship, four crowns! 【revised edition】

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

The referee Kaushoy did not allow additional time, but directly blew the whistle to signal the end of the 2015 minutes of overtime in the 2016-10 Champions League final.

"At the end of the third and 10th minute of overtime, Arsenal and Real Madrid entered a brutal penalty shootout!"

"This is the 16th penalty shootout in the knockout rounds since the Champions League was restructured, and the seventh penalty shootout in the history of the final!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "Coincidentally, the next penalty shootout is the second knockout penalty shootout and the first Champions League final penalty shootout for both teams since the restructuring of the Champions League."

Fans from both sides of the Meazza Stadium breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

The third and 10 minutes of overtime were filled with anxiety, worried that the opponent would score.

Okay now, let's go straight to the penalty shootout.

The on-site director gave close-ups to the players on both sides.

It gives a very distant picture, covering most of the stadium.

Fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly feel that the players on both sides were very tired, including the players who came off the bench.

The starting players feel very tired, and the players who come off the bench are very responsible and often run two more steps to make up for the reduced coverage area caused by the reduced physical fitness of their teammates.

Therefore, even a substitute player is enough.

One by one, they collapsed on the ground, some holding their knees with their hands and gasping for air. Although some did not show it specifically, their long breathing could tell that these players were tired.

Only Martin, who appeared on the broadcast screen, acted as if nothing had happened and was still helping his teammates relieve muscle fatigue.

"It's good to be young. He can walk for 120 minutes and still massage his teammates. It's hard to imagine how outstanding Martin's physical fitness is!"

When He Wei said this, he changed the subject: "If his teammates were more capable, I think... there would be no need for a penalty shootout at all."

The fans in front of the TV felt deeply identified because... Arsenal could only compete for fourth place in the Premier League with the exception of Martin, and often died in the top [-] of the Champions League. With Martin, they won the British Triple Crown and the Champions League. Enter the finals.

It can be easily seen from the data produced by Martin that without him Arsenal will have a high probability of competing for fourth place in the Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League group as in previous seasons.

"Of course this is a headache for Arsenal's senior management this summer. What lies ahead of us is a brutal penalty shootout."

Wenger and Zidane, the head coaches of both sides of the match, began to have headaches.

Under normal circumstances, the players assigned to take penalties are those with good psychological quality, especially those who can stabilize their mentality at critical moments.

Wenger had a rough idea in mind, but he decided to respect the players' choices.

Sometimes, self-confidence is also the magic weapon to win.

Martin, Sanchez, Flamini, Giroud, Welbeck, Walcott, Monreal and other players raised their hands to indicate that they could take penalty kicks.

Wenger is pleased with the motivation of his players.

However, only five penalty kicks can be scheduled for the first phase, and the remaining players will have priority to enter the second phase of the penalty kick [sudden death].

After a short period of thinking, Wenger quickly decided on the order of taking penalty kicks.

1-桑切斯、2-沃尔科特、3-吉鲁、4-维尔贝克、5-马丁。

On the other end, Zidane also asked the players about their willingness to take penalties, and then arranged a lineup dominated by stars.

The on-site director took advantage of this time period to give a wonderful replay of the overtime match.

To be more precise, it is a collection of the performances of the stars on the court.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray sighed: "Through the wonderful replays, we can see that Martin's personal ability, overall outlook, and physical fitness are all very good. Unfortunately, his teammates' ability needs to be strengthened. He has created many good opportunities. It’s a pity that I couldn’t grasp it.”

In the past 2 minutes or so, the two sides of the Champions League final submitted their arranged penalty kick lineups to the fourth official.

Mertesacker and Ramos, the two backbones of the defense, were reminded by the main referee to go to the midline referee Kaushoy to perform the final ceremony for the subsequent penalty shootout.

Guess the coin.

The winning team takes the penalty kick first and chooses which goal to use.

In the end, Ramos won the coin toss.

Therefore, the goal for taking penalty kicks is chosen to be in the North Stand.

That is in front of the area where die-hard Real Madrid fans gather.

The fanatical atmosphere at the Meazza Stadium showed signs of recurrence again, and all the fans used their passion to create a sufficient atmosphere for the subsequent penalty shootout.

The overwhelming shouts came in waves one after another.

The referee team first walked to the south stand of the stadium and waited for the players from both sides to take the penalty.

"Peter, we all know you're the best!"

Before Cech left, the Arsenal players encouraged him and patted his shoulders.

Fans from both sides in front of the TV began to get nervous.

They are very aware of the cruelty of penalty kicks.

The on-site director gave a close-up shot of Cech, Navas and Isco walking towards the south stand.

"Unconsciously, the penalty shootout is getting closer and closer to us!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's excited voice inevitably showed a bit of solemnity.

It is the first time for Dragon Kingdom players to participate in the Champions League final. Naturally, they hope to see Martin lead Arsenal to defeat Real Madrid in a penalty shootout and win the first real Champions League championship.

The three players walked towards the goal in front of the south stand of the stadium. The Arsenal and Real Madrid players stood in a row with the center circle as the boundary, with their teammates shoulder to shoulder, symbolizing unity.

Players with low pressure tolerance choose the direction of the goal to take penalty kicks, and pray to the God of faith with their eyes closed.

The focus of the world then turned to Isco, who took the penalty kick, and goalkeeper Cech.

What’s interesting is that Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas steals the spotlight. He is waiting for a penalty at the far end of the screen. He is kneeling at the junction of the penalty area sideline and the bottom line. He raises his hands high and points to the sky. He is saying something. At first glance, he is preparing to take the penalty point. Isco prays for the ball.

Maybe prayer helped.

There was a change of pace in Isco's penalty kick, which caused Cech, who was standing on the goal line, to judge the wrong direction and kick the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.

"Isco hit the penalty kick and Real Madrid led Arsenal 1:0 in the penalty shootout."

Cech, who did not pounce on the football, shook his head and turned towards the far end of the broadcast screen.

Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something, turned a corner, and walked towards Sanchez, the team's first penalty kick.

"wuwuwuuuuu——"

Real Madrid fans in the North Stand let out harsh boos and homemade whistles, trying to use a 'magic attack' to affect the accuracy of Sanchez's penalty kick.

Standing in the middle of the team, Martin looked a little nervous as he looked at Sanchez who put the football on the penalty spot.

It wasn't until Sanchez kicked the penalty kick into the lower left corner of the goal that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the penalty kick equalized the score, he didn't like the feeling of placing his hopes on others.

"It's all my fault that I'm not strong enough."

Martin raised his eyebrows, thinking that he must become stronger next season.

Real Madrid's second player to take a penalty kick was Benzema.

Arsenal fans followed suit and tried to use boos to influence Benzema to take a penalty kick.

However, the South Stand is too far from the North Stand, so the impact is minimal.

Benzema, who has always taken the blame, is actually very good at penalty kicks. If Ronaldo had not had absolute penalty kick authority, he would have become Real Madrid's number one penalty kick player with a high probability.

Cech guessed the right direction, but Benzema's penalty was close to the ground and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal, which is the most difficult area for goalkeepers to save.

"It's a pity that Cech guessed the right direction, but the angle from Benzema's penalty kick was too tricky."

The broadcast showed Walcott walking towards the penalty area.

Benzema, who scored the penalty kick, hugged goalkeeper Navas and said a few words of encouragement.

Walcott placed the football on the penalty spot, glanced at the goal with a solemn gaze and stopped thinking about it, waiting for referee Kashay's whistle.

Navas was still swinging his arms from side to side, trying to interfere with Walcott who was about to take the penalty kick.

"beep~"

Just then, the whistle sounded.

Walcott, who was standing on the line of the penalty area, took a run-up and volleyed straight into the upper left corner of the goal. Navas was beyond his reach.

2:2
The atmosphere at San Siro is heating up again.

As we all know, the penalty shootout begins in the third round and the pressure increases exponentially.

And the person who represented Real Madrid in the third round of penalty kicks was...

"The one walking towards the screen is 'The Great Sage' Bale. He is Wales' number one taker of set pieces and penalty kicks. He has a very good psychological quality."

Bell, who had pigtails on his face, walked into the penalty area with a solemn face, placed the football at the penalty spot, and then retreated to a sufficient distance.

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech stood in the middle of the goal line, raised his hands high, and slapped the crossbar hard, trying to scare Bell.

Bell once played for Tottenham and has played against Chelsea where Cech once played many times, so he is very familiar with them.

But this is often the case, and familiarity may not be of much benefit.

Attack is always the most proactive.

Bell, who took the penalty kick, did not make any fancy changes of rhythm and directly kicked the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal with a low kick.

Cech still judged the right direction, but his body was not pressing down fast enough, and he had no way to deal with the football that was rolling fast to the ground and into the blind corner.

Real Madrid took the penalty kick first and took a 3:2 lead.

After scoring the ball, Bell raised his arms and shouted, releasing the pressure that swept over his body. "When it came to the most critical penalty kick in the third round, Bale helped Real Madrid take the lead. The pressure now came to Arsenal."

He Wei said loudly: "Arsenal's third player to take penalty kicks is Giroud. The first five players all hit, which is a big challenge for him. Before Martin joined Arsenal, Giroud took penalty kicks. The shooting percentage of the ball is not very high..."

At the same time, Giroud, like the previous five players who took penalty kicks, looked very serious.

The process is exactly the same as the past five players. They place the ball at the penalty spot, retreat to a sufficient distance, look down at the standing football, and wait for the referee's whistle.

"wuwuwuuuuuu——"

Real Madrid fans in the North Stand once again booed and whistled.

"beep~"

When the whistle sounded, Giroud started to run up and took the penalty in the same way as Walcott, directly launching a powerful and heavy volley.

Navas only had time to say "Fak" in his mind, but his body was half a beat slower than his consciousness, and it was already too late to save.

All he could do was not take his eyes off the football, so he could only stand there and watch as the football hit the net on the right side of the goal.

"Beautiful! Olivier Giroud shot straight towards the goal, but Keylor Navas had no reaction!"

Sky commentator Andy Gray shouted: "3:3."

Giroud, who scored the ball, just like Bell who scored the penalty kick before, raised his arms and shouted to vent the pressure on his body.

The Arsenal players in the middle of the pitch, the coaching staff in front of the home team's coaching bench, and the substitute players all subconsciously raised their arms and shouted, releasing pressure and encouraging themselves at the same time.

At the other end, the Real Madrid players shook their heads regretfully.

If you want to win the penalty shootout, in addition to scoring the ball yourself, you must also make a mistake on the part of the opponent, otherwise... the penalty shootout will continue forever.

"Real Madrid's fourth penalty kicker is captain Ramos. Four years ago, he was only the vice-captain. In the 2011-2012 Champions League semi-final penalty shootout against Bayern, he was also the fourth penalty kicker. However, the ending was against Ramos. It is not a good memory for Sri Lanka and Real Madrid fans. He missed the penalty kick, but he scored a wonderful spoon penalty in the penalty shootout in the European Cup semi-finals of the same year..."

Listening to He Wei's commentary, fans watching the live broadcast couldn't help but think of the Champions League semifinals.

Mu Niao knelt on the ground, and Real Madrid missed three penalty kicks in the first four rounds.

Ramos has changed a lot compared to four years ago.

Firstly, he changed from the deputy team to the main team, and secondly, back then, he still had long flowing hair and a meticulous face, but now, he has a full beard and short, refined hair.

To put it simply, your energy and energy are significantly improved, and you become more confident.

"beep~"

Kaushoy blew the whistle, and Ramos, who was standing at the top of the penalty area, took a running start. He used the change of rhythm to knock down the experienced Cech and then kicked the ball towards their lower right corner.

Ramos, who steadily made the free throw, looked up to the sky and screamed, and then continued to slap his left chest. Because he was so excited, the veins on his neck were exposed, obviously wanting to vent all his unwillingness four years ago.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, players and fans became excited.

The fourth penalty kick was scored as the pressure began to increase, and the next pressure came to Arsenal.

After high-fiving his teammates, Welbeck headed to the penalty area in front of the north stand of Meazza Stadium under tremendous pressure.

Navas did not save any penalty kicks in the first three rounds, and he was still happy to influence the England international in front of him through exaggerated body movements.

In the World Cup in Brazil two years ago, it was his clean sheet in the final round of the group stage that caused England, which had been struggling, to only score one point in three games. Therefore, he has great confidence in the English.

The Real Madrid fans in the audience booed again.

"Arsenal's fourth player to take the penalty is England international Welbeck. If the penalty kick is scored, the tie will be 4:4. Once the penalty is missed, if the Real Madrid player who takes the penalty kick in the fifth round hits... there is a high probability of the fifth round. Martin, who took the penalty kick, does not need to take another penalty..."

Before He Wei finished speaking, the referee Kao Shaoyi blew the whistle: "Beep~"

Werber has very rich game experience. He was not disturbed too much. His brain always told himself...

Be sure to kick the penalty kick into the blind spot!
As long as the ball is kicked to the designated location according to the established route, it will not help if Navas guesses the right direction.

Welbeck, who was holding his breath, supported his body with his left foot and kicked the football with his swinging right foot.

Navas lunged hard to the right side of his body.

From the corner of his eye, Welbeck caught the opponent's pounce in the direction he planned. His brain was not for thinking. All he could do was kick the football into a blind corner.

Perhaps due to excessive psychological pressure, Welbeck pursued a slightly wider angle.

It was just at this moment that the football that was close to the ground rubbed Navas' extended right fingertips, hit the front of the left goal post, and bounced out...

"Oh My God!"

Before Sky TV commentator Andy Gray could finish his exclamation, the ejected football hit Navas's outstretched right elbow and bounced across the goal line, hitting the snow-white net.

His voice suddenly rose an octave: "The ball... bounced in again! 4:4!"

The Arsenal fans at Meazza had just put their heads in their hands and soon became ecstatic.

Wenger, who was in front of the home team's coaching bench, reacted slowly, raised his arms and shouted.

Other members of the coaching staff and bench players standing nearby had the same reaction.

Welbeck, who missed the penalty kick, cried with joy and roared to the sky.

Real Madrid fans were very depressed. They thought match point was coming, but...

Fake!

The live broadcast immediately showed Cristiano Ronaldo walking towards the penalty area, and then showed Arsenal's number one star Martin.

As Arsenal's number one penalty taker, he will inevitably become the crucial fifth penalty taker.

If Welbeck misses the penalty kick, as long as Real Madrid's fifth penalty kicker Ronaldo kicks the ball in, then there is no need for him to take another penalty kick.

The most painful thing in the world is to have the power to dazzle others but not have the chance to use it.

Fortunately, the football hit the post and hit Navas' right elbow and bounced back.

He let out a long breath.

The screen soon showed Cristiano Ronaldo with a serious face.

The star of Real Madrid, the top penalty taker, the player with the most goals in team history, the player with the most goals in the history of the Champions League...

"Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to take the fifth penalty."

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "If Cristiano Ronaldo can put the ball into Cech's guarded goal, Real Madrid will win the match point for the 11th Champions League championship in team history."

As he spoke, Ronaldo started to retreat after placing the football. He suddenly felt something dripping on his face.

This……

Is it raining?

He looked up at the night sky in Milan.

Under the illumination of the lights, the drizzle danced gracefully in the breeze.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the night in Moscow eight years ago.

"beep~"

At this moment, the referee Kaushoy blew the whistle.

Ronaldo took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, quickly adjusted his mentality, cleared his mind, and put the bad thoughts behind him.

Facing Cech, who had missed a penalty kick 8 years ago, he kicked the knife and fell.

Kick the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal.

Cech dives to the right side of the goal...

But...the football hit the front of the goal post and bounced back.

It also hit the post on the left side of the goal, but the difference was that Cech rushed in the opposite direction and was unable to help Ronaldo.

"Not in!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo missed all penalty kicks in three Champions League knockout rounds!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "As long as Arsenal scores a goal in the fifth round penalty kick, they will win the first Champions League championship in team history!"

In the broadcast, Cristiano Ronaldo was holding his head in pain, his face full of disbelief.

It was Navas who came over to comfort him for a few words before he walked towards the center circle in despair. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a red figure coming towards him. When he looked up, it was Martin who looked confident.

He clearly remembers the media reports before the game: From the beginning of his career to now, all penalty kicks have been scored.

Martin placed the football that rolled outside the penalty area at the penalty spot and retreated to a sufficient distance.

"beep~"

Facing Navas, who was imitating Dudek's dance, his face remained unchanged. After hearing the whistle, he even started to run with a smile.

The left foot that was taken last was about 25 centimeters to the left of the football, and the right foot was swung from back to front quickly.

Navas didn't know where Martin wanted to play. Suddenly, he remembered that Martin liked to show off his skills.

Could it be... the middle?
Thinking of this, he instantly had a firm idea.

Don’t all 19-year-olds like to show off?
I...let you show...

Unexpectedly, Martin didn't have so many fancy ideas at all. He pushed the ball to the right side of the goal with the arch of his right foot. The power was not very strong, but facing Navas who stayed in the center...

It equates to despair.

"The ball is in!"

"Martin made the free throw!"

央5解说员贺伟的声音高了十度，歇斯底里的高呼：“恭喜马丁！恭喜阿森纳！他们在点球大战5：4击败皇家马德里，总比分7：6获得2015-2016赛季欧洲冠军联赛的冠军！”
