Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 208 The king’s ascension to the throne must be based on the bones of losers!
Fans all over the world, regardless of whether their home team is Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​or AC Milan, are now clenching their fists and waving wildly.

Because the Manchester United players captured their hearts with their fighting spirit.

In their eyes, this is an atypical team, an idealistic team, and a team full of dreams.

They saw the disruptive brilliance of United.

When Jesse Lingard crawls out of the baseline, when Luke Shaw comically passes the ball with his head.
Every scene is preparing for the final victory.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world, football should be about the strong winning, the winner living and the weak dying!

But when a character shows a personality that is incompatible with the mainstream trend, people will suddenly realize that this is the purest form of football.

It’s not that Real Madrid didn’t deserve to win the game.

Rather, this game competes on skills and tactics, but also on spirit, will, desire for glory, and belief in life.

Cristiano Ronaldo's tomahawk header, Casemiro's long-range heavy artillery, Cristiano Ronaldo's graceful and graceful dragon, which one is not exciting enough?
But again.

Mourinho next to him also laughed heartily. Since that impossible penalty shootout, he felt like he had lost his magic.

“I feel like I can run another ten kilometers!”

In addition to a tough character, self-confidence is also an important reason why people can explode when faced with despair and difficulties.

But I didn't expect that today would be like this.

Appreciate your strong opponent, you are stronger because of his presence.

Kyiv Olympic Stadium.

not far away.

The camera shifts to the field again.

But there are very few French people in the Manchester United team, and Martial was sold to Paris. No one knew what Pogba was talking about, and they could only keep nodding in agreement.

The Manchester United players rushed towards him crazily, pinning him down and even speaking their native dialect in desperation.

Chu Feng's hat trick was also so brilliant!
Lingard chose to climb out of the bottom line after cramping. Wouldn't it be the same if it was Modric?
All fans have the same answer in their hearts.

Chu Feng had no extra energy to celebrate and lay paralyzed on the cold turf, but his heart was extremely hot.

But now they don't think so anymore.

What magic?
It is the magic that can always turn the situation around at critical moments and make the team stand out from desperate situations.

Pogba shouted proudly: "How was it? Was my final move cool? I passed Casemiro and Toni Kroos directly. This is not something that ordinary midfielders can do! I guess Lian Chu It can’t be done easily!”

Those dazzling lights above the head seemed to really turn into hope.

It’s all a fucking equalizer!
They also experienced first-hand what Manchester United players feel, and an idea came to mind.

Pogba's smile became even brighter upon seeing this.

Because people like them believe that their efforts will not be in vain.

Support your favorite team in their highs and lows.

After a simple celebration, Manchester United fans ushered in their own carnival, waving their arms wildly.

Because God gave them an equally good player. He turned the tide three times in today's game and interpreted the Manchester United spirit to the world with his tenacious fighting spirit and unyielding will.

Real Madrid fans and Manchester United fans have this kind of spirit.

He felt that the lost magic power had returned again, and his slightly stooped back straightened instantly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more arrogant.

Everyone stood up and gave warm applause, because they all understood the truth.

Lingard felt it carefully and shouted excitedly.

Valencia kept wiping his face. He moved to Manchester United in 2009, and Manchester United last won the Champions League in the 2007-08 season, which happened to be a perfect pass.

Regardless of whether he can win the trophy in the end, he believes that this will be the game he is most proud of in his career, bar none!

Mourinho listened to the roar of cheers in his ears.

They lost one of their best No. 7s, and they were devastated by it.

So he always held on to regrets and thought there was no chance of making amends.

If he were the high-spirited player ten years ago, what would he have been thinking when he fell behind 2-1 or 3-2?
It should be like the young man in the field, no matter whether he hits his head or gets bleeding, he is just fighting for that glimmer of hope.

Lingard on the bench tried to climb into the field, but was dragged back ruthlessly by Faria. He could only look at him with resentment.

Football is about love, not hate.

They didn't understand why a young man who had just grown up could be so tenacious, but that didn't stop them from falling in love with him deeply.

Faria laughed loudly when he saw it and stretched Lingard's calf, "How about it? Can I still play? There are only three minutes left in the game!"

So whether it's Real Madrid or Manchester United, they have tried their best and deserve the final glory!

That is a confidence that cannot be described in words.

The magical power of the past has long been eclipsed by everyone. Even if he led Chelsea to win the Premier League championship, he still could not break his "three years of Mu" curse.

The Real Madrid players seemed to have not recovered yet, looking at the football in the goal with dull expressions. They could not imagine that one person would score three goals.

Because he knew that he had lived up to those people's expectations.

Is it true that every time we score a goal, Manchester United's No. 7 can get one back?
That kind of indescribable confusion enveloped my heart, giving me a strong sense of powerlessness.

Navas even began to doubt life. How many people have scored hat tricks in the history of the Champions League finals?

The answer is three.

In the 1959-1960 season, Real Madrid's Disfatino.

In the 1959-1960 season and the 1961-62 season, Puskas of Real Madrid.

In the 1968-69 season, Prati of AC Milan.

Yes, two of them are Real Madrid players, but now the history of the Champions League is being rewritten, and one more person's name needs to be added.

Navas also received an honor, which was a hat trick in the Champions League final.

If this game ends in failure, let alone becoming the most suitable player for Real Madrid, he will probably be engraved on the pillar of shame forever.

Modric took off his headband and blamed himself: "My problem is that I should go directly to destroy the ball. It would be unwise to fight him physically."

"Stop talking so much. The game is not over yet. They only have 10 people on the field. I don't want to decide the outcome through a penalty shootout!"

Ronaldo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said seriously and solemnly.

Benzema nodded vigorously in agreement: "That's right, try harder and score another one. I don't believe Manchester United can even equalize?"

When Cristiano Ronaldo leaves next season, he is the only true god and does not want to fail in the final.

Ramos on the bench pulled his hair remorsefully, his face hidden in his jersey full of regret.

The foul in the 20th minute of the game was his means to pursue victory, but he did not expect that the pain would eventually come back to him.

If his wrist was not injured, his competitive condition would not have seriously declined, and it would be difficult for Manchester United to score the second goal.

If he had not exited the game in 90 minutes, Real Madrid's air defense would not have become weak. Manchester United took advantage of Nacho's height disadvantage and frequently used high-altitude balls to create threats.

The perfect tie in overtime is the best illustration.

If he was still on the court, even if he couldn't grab a point against Ibrahimovic, he could still interfere with the opponent and make him pass the ball incorrectly. Chu Feng had no chance to catch the ball and shoot.

Regret was like a thick smoke, constantly swirling in his mind, making him feel deeply suffocated.

After the carnival is over, the game starts again!
The Real Madrid players did not lose their fighting spirit easily and launched a tentative attack.

But with the score at 3-3 and a penalty shootout about to begin, not everyone has the courage to take the risk.

If the offense does not achieve results, it will be counterattacked by Manchester United's defense.

They were really afraid that Chu Feng would score another goal.

Therefore, Real Madrid's offensive intensity was not high. After Lingard returned to the court, Manchester United huddled in their own half and defended with all their strength.

For the fans.

Just three minutes seemed like a year. When the harsh and loud whistle sounded, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

But then the heartstrings tightened again.

Because the most exciting part comes next, the penalty shootout! ! !

There are no cowards before the twelve yards, and there are heroes above the zero yards.

Only when you choose to stand there can you feel the tide of pressure, which can really make a person collapse.

For fans, there is always a penalty that lingers in their youth.

It's Baggio, Southgate, Grosso, Drogba
Most of the tragic heroes in football also come from penalty kicks.

It’s Baggio at the Rose Bowl, Terry on a rainy night in Moscow, Trezeguet in Berlin, Beckham in Saint-Etienne.
Blatter, a former FIFA president, proposed abolishing penalty kicks and here's why.

"Penalty kicks always breed tragedy. Football is a team sport, but penalty kicks are one-on-one. This goes against the laws and concepts of football."

Beckenbauer objected: "The penalty shootout should not be cancelled. It is very exciting and brings a lot of highlights to the game. This is better than tossing a coin to decide the outcome."

Of course, in the eyes of fans around the world, penalty shootouts are necessary.

Because it has the simplest rules, but carries the most complex emotions.

The tension before taking the penalty, the release after scoring the goal, the regret when the penalty was missed, and the excitement after the save.
Ups and downs often happen in an instant.

This also makes the sport of football more attractive and touches the hearts of countless people.

Players from both sides quickly walked to the sidelines and formed a circle to discuss the order.

Mourinho did not designate a player to take the penalty, but said something unrelated: "Life may not be as good as you think, but it won't be as bad as you think."

"There are always areas in life that are beyond your capabilities, but if you do your best within the areas that you are capable of, then there will be no regrets!"

"No matter what the final result is, I hope you can hold your heads high, face the difficulties in life, bravely overcome difficulties, and constantly surpass yourself."

"Okay, who comes first?"

Ibrahimovic said domineeringly: "When I walked into Ajax, what do you think I said?"

The Manchester United players shook their heads.

"I'm Zlatan, who are you?"

"Hahaha!"

After Ibrahimovic finished speaking, he laughed to himself. Cantona once said something to him.

"There will only be one king at Manchester United, and that's me. If you want to, you can only be the prince of Manchester United."

And how did Ibrahimovic respond?

"I'm not going to be the king of Manchester United, I'm the fucking God of Manchester United."

Today he has a chance to fulfill his big talk before leaving.

Ibrahimovic looked around and said seriously: "Look at it with your eyes wide open, and then everyone cheers for me!"

Then Pogba stretched out his right hand, "I'll be the second one!"

He has a lot of experience with penalty kicks, especially the small steps he has practiced recently, and he is confident that he can score the ball.

"I am the third one. I can't let the captain hide behind me, right? If Carrick finds out, he will probably scold me again."

Valencia tightened the captain's armband and smiled for the first time in a long time.

You must know that he is known as Mr. Unhappy. No matter whether he wins or loses, his expression rarely changes.

Domestic fans also enthusiastically gave him a nickname - Wa Jingyun, the King of Non-Laughter!

This actually relieved the nervousness of the Manchester United players a lot.

The next one to step up was Matic.

This reliable and loyal player is like a tough warrior, guarding Manchester United's midfield and backfield.

As for the fifth player to take the penalty?

Everyone looked at Chu Feng in tacit understanding, as if expecting something.

Chu Feng did not disappoint, and said with a smile: "Boss, actually I want to be the first to be punished."

Although it is always said that you should do your best, but who can face failure calmly?
Especially in a penalty shootout, if a player makes a mistake at the most critical moment, he will be miserable and even suffer from psychological disorders.

He wants to resist the biggest burden and pressure, and he wants to leave the most glorious moments to his teammates.

Chu Feng truly believed that if he made a mistake, he would definitely be able to handle it.

Because he had a more tragic past.

Of course, maybe the reason is not so bright and great.

Maybe, he just didn't want to wait until the end alone and powerless, and didn't want to fail before his turn. He just wanted to control his destiny in his own hands.

Ibrahimovic suddenly showed a happy smile. He really saw Chu Feng clearly, but Chu Feng did not see him clearly.

He has his own pride, which is a man's responsibility and dignity.

He smiled and said: "I'll be the first to take the penalty, don't refuse again!"

Chu Feng was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

Mourinho stared at the Manchester United players.

He had already thought about his words after the game failed, and told the media that it was up to him to decide the penalty kick, and that the responsibility lay with him and not the players.

De Gea sprayed adhesive on his gloves and said: "If you don't know which direction to kick, kick it to the middle, because goalkeepers often won't stand still and it will make them look like a fool!"

Chu Feng shook his head.

He had an idea of ​​his own and was committed to it.

Then the Manchester United players discussed the remaining order. After all, if the winner cannot be determined in five rounds of penalty kicks, a more cruel sudden elimination method will be used.

If one team makes a free throw and the other does not, the game will end directly.

Real Madrid also discussed the results.

The first five are: Benzema, Bale, Modric, Toni Kroos, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the Champions League final two years ago, Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid. In the final penalty shootout, Real Madrid scored all five penalties, while Atletico Madrid lost the Champions League title because Juanfran missed a point.

在前五个人中，本泽马37中32，命中率86%；C罗92中79，命中率85%。

The only difference from the last roster is that Vazquez and Ramos are on the bench.

Among them, Ramos made 23 of 22, with a shooting percentage of 95%, and has only missed one free throw so far.

However, Modric and Toni Kroos are also the top penalty takers of the national team, and their own penalty kick skills must not be underestimated.

Soon the game came to the final battle. "The captains of both sides toss coins to each other, and they will choose the direction of the goal and the order of penalties based on the results."

"Valencia was lucky. They guessed the direction of the coin and Manchester United chose to take the first penalty kick!"

"The only ones who can miss a penalty kick are those who have the courage to stand up and take a penalty kick. I still want to say something to everyone, don't be too harsh on the players!"

"I hope Xiao Chu can give himself a satisfactory ending!"

The camera then showed the green field, with players from both teams lined up in the center circle, nervously or firmly watching Ibrahimovic's slowly leaving back.

In front of them, the space between the small 12-yard point and the goal was now like the border between hell and heaven.

There have been too many ridiculous or unforgettable scenes there.

Beep!
With a whistle, Ibrahimovic started to move!

Ibrahimovic decisively kicked the ball to the right side of the goal!
next second.

Deafening cheers pierced the silent night sky, and the stadium was filled with cheers and applause.

"Ibrahimovic, run, hit the goal, the ball is in!"

"Pretty!"

"He gave Manchester United a good start and reduced the psychological pressure on his teammates!"

"But I still want to say that other people's joys and sorrows are after the fact, but players face the whole process!"

"I hope everyone can applaud Ibrahimovic for being the first to step onto the penalty spot!"

"Now the outcome of this Champions League final depends on his teammates!"

Ibrahimovic clenched his fists and waved, then quickly walked back to the center circle, shoulder to shoulder with his teammates.

Everyone said nothing and looked at Benzema quietly.

At the age of 7, he was still a goalkeeper. Because he swept his teammates in the shooting game, he was assigned by the coach to go up front.

At the age of 18, he scored 31 goals in all competitions and won the Ligue Most Valuable Player and Golden Boot awards.

At the age of 31, he has become the number one scapegoat in football. The protagonist is Cristiano Ronaldo and the hero is Bale. He can only live in their shadow.

Today, as a buried green leaf, he took the first penalty kick for Real Madrid.

Release the ball, run up, and hit the goal!
There was no hesitation in the action, pushing the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.

Even though De Gea judged the right direction, he still did not change the trajectory of the football and could only watch the football go into the net.

"Benzema scored the penalty steadily!"

"He has protected the glory of the Madridistas and is no longer the Benzemeow Mourinho calls him!"

"The second penalty kicker for Manchester United was Pogba!"

"What method will he choose?"

Under the nervous eyes of fans from both sides.

Pogba deliberately lengthened his approach and kept changing the rhythm of his small steps.

Not only did it cause Navas psychological torture, but it also made it difficult for Navas to judge the timing of his shot.

In the end, Navas made the wrong decision!

The Manchester United players cheered with joy.

It was Bell's turn next, and he was also Mr. Big Scene.

His hat trick against Inter Milan made him famous in one battle, turning the world's number one fullback Maicon into McDull.

Then he became a feared winger in the Premier League.

Finally he came to the other side of the dream. He told the world in Real Madrid that Bell is the shortest between two points.

He is not afraid of contempt and comes to create legends!

Bell noticed his daughter's cute smile in the stands, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently raised slightly.

No surprises!

He sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal and scored a crucial penalty kick for Real Madrid.

It was the turn of Manchester United's third player to take the penalty.

Valencia tightened the captain's armband and squinted at the dazzling lights.

Many memories came to his mind.

From the little boy picking up water bottles on the streets of Ecuador to the captain of the Red Devils playing football in front of 7.5 people at the Theater of Dreams.

His life story is unique and one of the most inspiring.

Manchester United fans also reminisced about the man on the field.

It’s his iron-bloodedness that made a quick comeback just six months after breaking his leg, his diligence in sprinting all out on the right wing, his hard work and willingness to switch to full-back when the team needed it, and his loyalty to Manchester United who fired his agent.
He took several deep breaths and looked forward with burning eyes.

After the referee blew the whistle, he actually kicked the ball to the center.

Navas had completely surrendered his center of gravity and rushed to the left with all his strength, because he knew that Valencia did not know how to use his left foot.

Football passed him by again.

Manchester United scored three goals and scored three times, putting the pressure on Real Madrid!
Modric straightened his hair and put on the headband again, his eyes showing no emotion.

It seemed like it was just an ordinary penalty kick.

In fact, there is really not much pressure on him.

He has stared at wolves since he was a child, was baptized by war, made a living by herding sheep, and grew up in a refugee camp.

God doesn't seem to like him very much, an ordinary person with ordinary appearance and lack of talent.

Therefore, he can only walk step by step diligently, low-key, tenaciously and calmly, and finally complete the counterattack.

Without thinking too long, he decisively pushed the shot into the far corner!

The football shot out like an arrow from the string, grazing De Gea's fingertips and drilling into the goal!

De Gea punched the turf in frustration. If he had fallen to the ground faster just now, he would have definitely knocked the ball out of the goal!
But unfortunately there is no if in the world.

The penalty shootout came to the fourth round, and a tall figure walked out of the center circle. His name was Matic.

He joined Chelsea in 09. In 11, he was regarded as an addition to David Luiz and was sent to Benfica for 500 million.

It was a great shame for him to fail from the five major leagues.

But Mourinho, who entered the palace for the second time, defied all opinions and spent a high price to sign him back.

He can have the opportunity to re-prove himself in a place where he was once kicked out. It is not an exaggeration to say that Mourinho has been kind to him, so he wants to do everything he can to repay Mourinho.

Next year he will donate a stadium in his hometown, and its name is the Mourinho Stadium.

As for this year?

He wants to win the Champions League trophy for Mourinho.

The man who defended the top Yaya Toure alone has a big heart. He chose to push and shoot into the lower left corner of the goal!
Navas still hasn't judged the right direction. To be honest, his mentality is a bit unbalanced.

After all, Real Madrid's overall strength is stronger, and being forced into a penalty shootout is embarrassing enough. If they lose the game in the end, it will only be more embarrassing.

The nerves of the players on both sides have been stretched to the extreme.

Toni Kroos slowly walked to the penalty area, lowered his head and kissed the football before placing the ball on the penalty spot.

There is a "95% law" in him.

That is, he is passing the ball 95% of the time on the court, and his passing success rate is as high as 95%.

What about penalties?
He also has a unique skill, which is the accuracy of shooting, and he can often put the football where he wants.

Facing De Gea's tight defense, he chose to kick into the lower right corner.

boom!
The football left with a dull sound, and then a crisp sound echoed, as if it was a death knell for someone.

De Gea pumped his fist in excitement.

Navas, who was kneeling next to him, covered his head with his hands and seemed unable to accept the scene in front of him.

Toni Kroos opened his mouth slightly, his eyes full of helplessness and despair.

He was not defeated by De Gea, but was defeated by himself, as if the whole world collapsed in front of him.

He pursued the angle too much and hit the goalpost instead.

He understood the problem instantly, but there was no point in talking about it. He walked back to the center circle in despair, automatically blocking out the surrounding sounds.

Real Madrid players on and off the field felt an atmosphere of depression and despair, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavy and cold.

They hope that Lady Luck will be on Real Madrid's side.

now.

The 67136 million spectators around the world and the fans at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium all focused their attention on the red figure.

He is the last villain standing in front of Real Madrid's legend of winning three consecutive Champions League titles.

His name is Chu Feng.

When the summer wind carries noisy noises into the ears.

He silently bent down, placed the ball on the penalty spot, slowly raised his body, and stepped on the surrounding turf.

His eyes were fixed on the football and he didn't pay attention to Navas who kept shaking.

He stood on the line of the penalty area and took a deep breath.

He knew that as long as he could put the football into the goal, he would personally end Real Madrid's dream and create a miracle for Manchester United.

He now stands at the center of this changing era.

The turbulent pressure like a wave swept over him, and the blood in his body seemed to solidify, but then it became even more passionate.

Because this is exactly what he was looking forward to!
at the same time.

Mourinho stood proudly on the sidelines.

Six years ago, he knelt down on the sidelines. He was not as stubborn as before, saying, "My fate is up to me." Because he was looking forward to that victory too much.

He bowed his head to heaven for the first time, but failed to win the favor of fate.

Since then, his eyes have become more melancholy and his face has gradually become older.

But today!
He will never pray to the great goddess of luck again. No matter how fate plays tricks on him, he will never fall again!
He wants to get back the lost magic power with his own hands!
Marius in the stands closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look at the scene that was about to happen next.

Guardiola's lips moved and he said something.

Maria stood with her hands clasped together, her blond hair flowing like silk on her shoulders, and her eyes like bright stars, shining with hope.

Under the red tide.

The girl's heart is full of hope, praying that what she fears will never happen, praying to God to be a good person for a minute, and praying for good luck to come.

Pray that the future will be as she wishes.

Beep!
The piercing whistle attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's tight heartstrings suddenly broke at this moment!
Chu Feng seemed to be transforming all his honors, dreams and responsibilities into the power of shooting.

At the moment when countless people were watching, the ball rolled out and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Navas stood there like a fool, feeling the distance between him and football, and deep despair suddenly surged into his heart.

His previous little tricks had no effect, and Chu Feng's free throws were still so tricky with the power and angle.

Even if he judges the opponent's direction, it is difficult to save the ball.

The moment he knelt on the turf, the Kiev Olympic Stadium suddenly boiled, forming a surging red wave!

Chu Feng lay quietly on the grass.

Everything was finally over, and he could finally rest with peace of mind.

There is no need to worry about being scored by Real Madrid, no need to think about how to move, and no need to engage in fierce confrontations.
At this moment, he became the hero of the Red Devils and Manchester United.

This goal is not only a penalty kick, but also a perfect reflection of his love for football, his desire to win and his responsibility to the team.

Most of the Manchester United players rushed over crazily, and a small number of Manchester United players fell to the ground and cried in their arms.

When the string in their hearts breaks, they can no longer control their emotions and can vent them unscrupulously.

The Real Madrid players fell to their knees weakly, like a deflated balloon, losing its former vitality.

None of them dared to imagine that Real Madrid would lose the game, and their dream of three consecutive championships was abruptly shattered.

The new king's ascension to the throne must be based on the bones of losers, but this time they became losers.

Toni Kroos, who missed the penalty kick, did not hang his head or hide his face in tears. He just stood there lonely.

He seemed to hear a lot of swearing, to which he was accustomed.

At this moment, he understood something. It turns out that life is like a penalty kick.

Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were blank, and a trace of regret filled his heart.

In the 07-08 Champions League final and the 11-12 Champions League semi-finals, he experienced the psychological shadow of missing free throws.

He didn't want to feel that suffocating despair again, so he chose the fifth penalty kick.

So is he a player who wants to be a hero in the spotlight, be on the cover of the media, has a certain amount of courage, but is a little timid at heart?
Maybe there is part of the reason, but it shouldn't be blamed.

Because every player who plays in the penalty shootout is brave.

At this moment.

In London, in Liverpool, in Manchester, in the pubs by the Thames, there must be countless Manchester United fans rejoicing.

In Madrid, in the Bernabeu, and in the Puerta del Sol, there must be countless Real Madrid fans who are saddened by it.

Of course, there was also a storm wave in distant China.

In Bincheng in May, the sea breeze dissipates the heat, but it cannot dissipate the passion in people's hearts.

They are at home, night markets, bars, schools, no matter which team they are fans of.

The endless emotions that have been accumulated for a long time, hidden deep in the soul, burst out like volcanic lava, celebrating all of this excitedly.

Someone asked before whether China Football could be saved, but no one could give a clear answer.

When Chu Feng enters the Manchester United first team, every game he wins will have an impact, even if it is just a little bit inconspicuous.

But when they come together bit by bit and meet the Chinese people who love football, they will form endless power and it will be an unstoppable wave.
