Green Journey

"Mr. Referee, I swear I didn't use force. It was a very normal physical confrontation!" In the penalty area, Ramos saw the referee running over, and he immediately got up from the ground to defend himself.

"Sir, I didn't intentionally foul." Ramos' voice was trembling, but he said extremely firmly: "I just tried to stop him from shooting, but I made a mistake. I didn't intend to foul. Please believe me, it was an accident." .”

Other Real Madrid players also gathered around immediately and defended Ramos in a sincere or pleading tone.

Bruchy stepped back and left the crowd, frowned and looked at the Real Madrid and Manchester City players in front of him, and said: "I understand your position, but I trust my eyes more."

After that, Bruchy dropped the players from both sides and ran to the corner area to discuss the penalty with the bottom line referee and linesman.

There was no doubt that the foul was committed by Bruchy.

But he can't hold this scale. After all, this is the Champions League final. Under this kind of pressure, he must be cautious and try not to affect the outcome of the game, so he needs the opinions and opinions of his assistants.

"Chu, are you okay?" Aguero walked to the bottom line and asked Chu Zheng, who was sitting with his hands on the ground.

"Of course." Chu Zheng stood up with his hands on his hands.Although Ramos hit him hard, this guy is not completely irrational, and he is also a very bad guy.

Looking at the several referees talking in the corner kick area, Chu Zheng felt a little regretful. He personally felt that Ramos should not be sent off.

"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Ramos did not commit any bad fouls, but this is precisely where he is smart."

"The timing of his tactical foul was very clever. At the moment when Chu Zheng was not stable, he could use the minimum force to knock Chu Zheng down in a seemingly innocuous way. But no matter how he covered it up, it was a foul. It was a foul, he couldn't hide his intention."

At this moment, countless Real Madrid fans inside and outside the stadium are in infinite anxiety, fearing that Bruchy will take out the red card from his hip pocket after the conversation with his assistant.

Once this happens, their hopes of winning the championship will be instantly reduced.

At this moment, Manchester City fans are very excited.

Regardless of whether Ramos should receive a yellow card or a red card, at least this penalty kick cannot be escaped.

Of course, for Manchester City fans, it would be better if the referee could punish the villain Ramos. If not, at least it would be a yellow card.

Once Ramos carries a yellow card, it is like a sharp sword hanging over his head. He will inevitably be restrained when defending. The yellow card can also weaken Real Madrid's defensive strength.

Therefore, no matter how the referee makes the final penalty, it will not be a loss for Manchester City.

Nearly 30 seconds later, the referee finished negotiating with his assistant, turned around and trotted towards Ramos, holding up a yellow card he took out of his pocket.

Suddenly, Zidane's nervous expression relaxed on the sidelines, and the hearts of countless Real Madrid fans also dropped.

Not a red card, that would be the best result for Real Madrid.

"Hehe!" Zhang Lu shook her head and smiled in the balcony, "It's expected."

"The referee probably took into account that this was the Champions League final, and it didn't cause too bad consequences, so it's understandable." Sun Jihai said.

Fan Zhiyi pointed at the court and smiled: "This kid Chu Zheng is too honest. I taught him when he was training with the national team. Don't get up so fast when you are fouled. Otherwise, the referee will see you get up so fast. Sometimes you should have If it’s a yellow card foul, maybe it won’t be given.”

"Haha!" As soon as these words came out, Su Ping, Chu Dong and others were all happy.

At this moment, a scene that made countless people dumbfounded appeared.

I saw Chu Zheng and Aguero even playing punching in front of the top of the key, as if they were using rock-paper-scissors to decide who would take the penalty.

"Hahaha!"

On the big screen at the scene, I saw Aguero beating Chu Zheng with scissors, grinning and turning around to walk towards the ball, but Chu Zheng pulled him back.

"Ouch! I'm laughing so hard, guys."

"Chu Shen is so shameless. He even plays best of three games after losing."

"Look at Aguero's expression, even Chu Zheng can't fix it."

"..."

The barrage in the domestic LeTV live broadcast room also collectively laughed like crazy. Zhan Jun also laughed until his cheeks stiffened. This was the first time for everyone to see Chu Zheng behave like this on the court.

After a while, Chu Zheng and Aguero decided the winner.

It was clear from the big screen at the scene that Chu Zheng used scissors twice and lost perfectly in two out of three rounds.

On the sidelines, Guardiola also left Chu Zheng speechless.

The number one penalty taker in the Manchester City team is Aguero, but in fact, if Chu Zheng wants it, Aguero will let him and he won't mind if Chu Zheng comes.

After all, Chu Zheng's unique penalty kick method can be said to be a nightmare for almost all goalkeepers, and the probability of scoring is probably no lower than Aguero's.

In the end, he didn't expect the two of them to come together like this. If he hadn't known that Chu Zheng and Aguero had a good relationship, he would really be worried about the conflict between the two because of this penalty kick.

Soon, Real Madrid was ready for a penalty kick in the penalty area. Referee Bruchy exited the penalty area and blew the whistle.

Aguero began his run-up, with a noticeable pause in the process.

But seeing that Navas on the goal line in the middle of the goal was not deceived, he immediately followed the original plan and prepared to shoot the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.

The most taboo thing about penalty kicks is to temporarily change the original plan and mess up the position.

Even if the goalkeeper sees through some of the ball's intentions and the goalkeeper pounces in the right direction, as long as you have enough strength and angle, it will be difficult for the goalkeeper to save the ball.

"Bang" a muffled sound.

On the goal line, Navas quickly jumped to the right, then flew sideways.

Under the incredible gazes of Aguero, Chu Zheng and countless fans, Navas saved the ball with both hands.

The ball rolled towards the right rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Suddenly, players from Real Madrid and Manchester City rushed into the penalty area like two intertwined waves.

Varane has both speed and body. He rushed into the penalty area from the left rib at the top of the arc, caught Sane behind him in time, rushed to the ball first, twisted his body, and cleared the ball out of the sideline with one kick.

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

For a time, exclamations, sighs and cheers intertwined with each other in the stands on all sides of Qianxi Stadium, forming a unique movement.

"incredible!!"

"incredible!!!!"

"Aguero actually missed such a crucial penalty!!"

"Navas once again made a god-level save, he saved Real Madrid!" In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Huang Jianxiang, who was sitting next to him, exclaimed one after another.

In the stands, Zhang Lu, Fan Zhiyi and others also had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

On the sidelines, Guardiola's eyes were wide with disbelief written all over his face, which was in obvious contrast to Zidane, who was looking ecstatic and pumping his fists in celebration.

In the penalty area, Navas got up immediately after seeing the ball being cleared, and yelled at the Manchester City players who rushed into the penalty area, with a particularly ferocious expression on his face.

Every Real Madrid player also came up to hug Navas with expressions of ecstasy.

Especially Ramos, this guy was particularly excited. He hugged Navas hard when he came up and slapped Navas' back with his fists.

The Manchester City players all looked frustrated, especially Aguero who walked back with his hands on his hips, his face showing both anger and annoyance.

After a while, Manchester City sent the ball from outside the penalty area.

Although the game was interrupted for a few minutes, once the game restarted, players from both sides once again fully devoted themselves to the game, making the situation quickly heated up.

As time went by, the tactical strategies of both sides became more and more clear during the game. "Many people say that Zidane relies on metaphysics to coach. In my opinion, he adheres to a kind of philosophy."

"Although Zidane made some impulsive moves while playing football, as a head coach, he is extremely rational."

"So whether it was against Atletico Madrid last year or in major events this year, Real Madrid kept their kicks in the first half, and they were the first to score."

"For Manchester City, Guardiola came up today just to take the lead and to defeat Real Madrid with his strong offensive capabilities."

"But Zidane seemed prepared for this move."

"Now when Manchester City attacks, Real Madrid has nine players retreating, and they don't press. Carvajal and Marcelo don't press, and they sit deeper."

"In the middle, Casemiro is always ready to retreat in front of Varane and Ramos."

"Don't underestimate these two, especially Casemiro's ability to help defend and make up for the pot."

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Huang Jian finished speaking, and Zhan Jun continued: "Casemiro is not a traditional defensive midfielder. He does not have to intercept the ball."

"Yes!" Huang Jianxiang nodded, "From the beginning to now, Real Madrid has adopted a zone defense. The focus is on watching Manchester City's off-ball players, trying to cut off this passing line and disrupt the smooth flow of Manchester City's frontcourt. The pass and connection, and then wait for the opportunity to intercept the ball and contact Ronaldo and Benzema to counterattack."

"One thing Real Madrid does very well is that their formation retreats without retreating too deep. They have found an accurate balance point. This way they can defend against Chu Zheng, De Bruyne and Toure. A person’s long-range shot can also prevent Manchester City from sending a very threatening through ball at the first time.”

"..."

While Zhan Jun and Huang Jian were chatting in detail about the tactics of both sides, the offensive of both sides once again set off a new climax.

In the 11th minute of the game, Real Madrid continued to control the ball in the backcourt, and all Manchester City players retreated to their own half.

Outside the arc of Manchester City's left center circle, Modric took the ball, but all passing routes in front of him were blocked by Chu Zheng and Toure.

Seeing that there were no good opportunities, Modric spiked the ball, turned and took it through the center line, and then moved to the left half.

Real Madrid's left rib in the center circle, Ramos immediately moved forward after taking the ball.

Marcelo stopped the ball and turned around, and suddenly sent a precise through ball to Benzema on the front line.

But Walker was highly focused and blocked Benzema on the outside. His defense was watertight.

Benzema used all the breakthrough weapons he had, but was blocked by Walker from the middle and separated by the ball.

After Walker got the ball, in order to avoid Benzema's harassment, he immediately crossed to the right.

Outside the upper corner of the penalty area, Kompany stopped the ball, turned around, and quickly passed forward to the wing.

In the area from the wing of the 30-meter area to the right rib of the center circle, there are three people of Sterling, De Bruyne and Aguero, and five of Marcelo, Kroos, Isco, Ramos and Casemiro. Under continuous pressing, relying on continuous passes and tacit movement, the ball was passed out from Real Madrid's pressing again and again, but the Real Madrid players did not touch the ball at all.

Seeing Manchester City's almost amusing continuous triangle pass, football celebrities such as Trezeguet, Figo, Cafu and Ferguson in the stands all thought of the dream of the team that almost dominated European football at this moment. team.

Ever since Guardiola left Spain, Real Madrid haven't been in such a mess for a long time.

Five on three, he couldn't even touch the ball. This is reminiscent of the three-man passing team of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets.

In a certain respect, Manchester City's current passing control is close to the dream team of that year.

On the field, on the right side of Manchester City's center circle, he saw De Bruyne rushing towards him with the ball laterally. Chu Zheng quickly ran forward, then turned around and saw the ball coming.

Modric is right behind Chu Zheng at this time.

He was preparing to grab from behind, and he and Ramos, who was following De Bruyne laterally, were attacking Chu Zheng from front to back.

As a result, before others arrived, Chu Zheng met the ball and passed it directly back.

"John! Left!"

After Chu Zheng passed the ball, he pointed to the left side of his own center circle and shouted to Stones who had not yet received the ball.

After Stones got the ball, he immediately followed Chu Zheng's instructions and made a long diagonal pass.

In front of the center line on the left side of the center circle, Otamendi quickly crossed the center line and rushed to the landing point.

At the same time, Sane also advanced along the outside line of the wing and directly took away Carvajal, who was preparing to compete for the top.

Three meters behind Otamendi, Sane removed the ball that Otamendi had rubbed with the back of his head and suddenly exploded, wading the ball and cutting inside the ribs.

Carvajal was easily passed.

When Sane entered the ribs, Aguero ran right in front of him and made a diagonal pass towards the outside of the penalty area.

Sane immediately slowed down and poked the ball over.

But Varane and Carvajal turned around really quickly, and Sane's pass was too weak, forcing Aguero to turn back to catch the ball.

Therefore, by the time he got the ball, Varane and Carvajal had already repositioned themselves and established an effective defensive system.

Aguero had no choice but to turn a U-shaped turn and dribble the ball into the middle.

After arriving in the middle, he had Modric as his pursuer behind him and Casemiro in front of him.

Seeing that he would be pinched if he continued to carry the ball, he quickly passed the ball back to Chu Zheng who was coming along the middle road on the right side.

Chu Zheng took the ball, turned to the right, and quickly separated the sides, with no intention of slowing down the offense.

Three or four meters before the upper corner of the penalty area on the right side, Sterling got the ball and suddenly took off his foot and made a diagonal cross before Marcelo came up.

In the penalty area, on the left side of the penalty spot, Aguero stuck Carvajal on the outside.

The two took off almost at the same time, but neither touched the ball.

Sterling's pass was ridiculously high, with absolutely no accuracy at all.

In the left rib area of ​​the penalty area, Sane knew Sterling well, so he slowed down and then found the ball hitting his left side.

He immediately followed out of the penalty area, stopped the ball in front of the baseline, and then quickly adjusted to pass again before Carvajal came out.

The ball landed on the penalty spot and Ramos shook his head to clear the ball.

In front of the left arc at the top of the arc, Chu Zheng was just at the landing point.

Facing the incoming ball, Chu Zheng squatted down slightly and unloaded the ball from his chest.

At this time, Real Madrid players were attracted by Manchester City's two long passes and competed for the top of the penalty area, resulting in no one at the top of the arc.

So in full view of everyone, after Chu Zheng unloaded the ball, he quickly raised his right foot and volleyed directly.

In an instant, the ball went straight to the left side of the goal like a cannonball.

In order to increase the angle of the goalkeeper's save, Chu Zheng also deliberately pressed the ball and hit a low ball close to the ground.

"Shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Amid the exclamations of countless commentators at the scene, Navas swooped to the right in front of the goal and once again blocked Chu Zheng's shot with his right hand.

At this moment, in the stands and in front of the TV, countless fans hugged their heads and exclaimed.

On the left penalty area line, the moment Sane got the ball that was saved, the linesman raised the flag directly, and the referee also blew the whistle immediately, indicating that Sane was offside.

"This is a very beautiful shot. Chu Zheng shot it very beautifully. He jumped through the crowd and had a little arc. Unfortunately, he still couldn't avoid Navas's fingers." He Wei looked regretful. said.

"Navas made another crucial save, twice!"
