Chapter 476: God-level pick-up ball, countdown to kill!
The moment Bell scored, the atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium exploded.
While Real Madrid fans were celebrating wildly, the live broadcast footage was intriguing and immediately showed the coaches of both sides.
The reactions of the head coaches of both sides were also in sharp contrast:
Zidane directly shook his fist in celebration, then touched his bald head, then turned around and hugged his assistants in celebration;
Mourinho, on the other hand, stood motionless on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets and a serious expression.
Behind him in the stands was a sea of joyful white.
In an instant, the feeling of a lone warrior fighting against the world alone came to my face!
However, don't look at him as if he is unresponsive, but his brain has already begun to work at high speed.
In fact, Real Madrid's ability to equalize the score did not surprise Mourinho.
He even feels that the team's defense can last so long under Real Madrid's offense, which is already very good.
You know, even teams like Bayern and Atletico Madrid have been scored by Real Madrid by two or more!
Especially for the two goals, both headers were conceded, and both were issues of positioning ball defense.
This is also why Manchester United lacks height in positioning ball defense.
In addition, there are too many header experts in Real Madrid's formation, so it is impossible to guard against them.
However, on the bright side, at least they did not give Real Madrid too many great opportunities in sports battles.
This also means that their defense is still in place.
However, as the score was tied again and with less than ten minutes left before the end of regular time, he had to start thinking about the possibility of overtime.
Mourinho knows very well that if Real Madrid drags the game into overtime, the balance of victory will definitely tip to Real Madrid, who have a deeper bench!
You know, Real Madrid's bench also has offensive players such as Ronaldo, Kovacic, Asensio, etc., and there are also many changes in the backhand.
And on their bench, although there are Martial, Mata, Fellaini and others.
However, the only ones who can really provide changes in the offense are Martial and Mata.
Moreover, he is still considering whether to replace Ibrahimovic!
In fact, when the game entered the 75th minute, it was obvious that Ibrahimovic was exhausted.
In this game, Ibrahimovic served as the only fulcrum in the frontcourt, although he did not have many chances to win the ball.
However, he is very active in pressing, often fighting with Ramos and Varane, and consumes a lot of physical energy.
Even Ibrahimovic, with his explosive physical fitness, was still defeated in the face of time.
After all, he is thirty-five years old, and he is not a young man in his twenties.
Of course, there are pros and cons to replacing the weak Ibrahimovic.
If Ibrahimovic is replaced, there will be one less high point when attacking and defending from set pieces.
Moreover, there is no point in the frontcourt that attracts defense.
But if he does not change, Ibrahimovic's physical fitness will decline significantly, his running ability will decline, and he will not be able to exert pressure in the frontcourt.
The most important thing is that he does not help the team's counterattack much in terms of interspersed movements.
If a change can be made, Real Madrid's defense will definitely be caught off guard.
After careful consideration, Mourinho looked sharply and decided to fight to the death!
He turned around without hesitation and waved to Martial, who had just finished warming up:
"Anthony, get ready to play!"
Hearing this, Martial's expression changed. Su, nodded and immediately began to take off his vest.
Just as the Real Madrid players had just finished celebrating, Martial also came to the sidelines.
“It seems that Real Madrid’s goal also made Mourinho realize that the team needs to make changes. Manchester United is ready to make substitutions!”
"The replacement is No. 9 Ibrahimovic! No. 11 Martial is ready to play!"
Seeing that his number was displayed on the substitution card, Ibrahimovic frowned. Wrinkled, directly showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
However, after thinking about it, he can also understand the head coach's decision.
After more than ten years of career, he is no longer the stupid young man he once was.
Moreover, Mourinho can be regarded as one of the few head coaches in football that he respects very much.
Therefore, although he looked a little dissatisfied, he still walked towards the sideline.
The Red Devils fans in the stands also applauded this veteran who has made great contributions to the team.
“In this game, Ibrahimovic’s role as Manchester United’s frontcourt fulcrum is very obvious.”
“Yes, his dominance in the penalty area always makes Real Madrid’s two Central defenders Ramos and Varane did not dare to relax."
After high-fiving Ibrahimovic, Martial ran in.
It is worth mentioning that when passing by Ling Feng, he also took the initiative to reach out and give Ling Feng a high-five.
After a season of training from Mourinho, coupled with Ling Feng's private "guidance", Martial plays more reasonably and has a much more positive attitude.
This is also the change brought about by Ling Feng joining Manchester United.
Of course, Martial is not the kind of person who easily listens to other people's opinions and suggestions.
However, from the initial dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction, to the shock of Ling Feng's strength, and finally to being convinced now, after one season, Martial has clearly understood his position as Manchester United.
Because if he doesn't take the initiative to adapt to Ling Feng, he will lose in the competition with Rashford.
Even become a substitute!
In the process, he also accepted the reality that he was not as good as Ling Feng.
After all, a monster who scored forty goals and provided forty assists in all competitions in a single season, neither his model Henry the Great nor the peerless pair Melo can do it!
This is the only one in the entire football world!
. . .
After Martial and Lingard came on the field, Manchester United's pressure in the frontcourt also increased again.
The three young men in the frontcourt used their abundant physical strength and momentum to constantly pressure Real Madrid's defense.
This makes it more difficult for Real Madrid to play and advance in the backcourt.
Coupled with the fact that Ling Feng and Kanter both pressed forward to suppress the three midfielders, it was difficult for Real Madrid to pass the ball through the ground to the feet of the midfielder.
In desperation, Ramos and Varane could either play long passes to find the two wingers;
or they could only split the sides, and then the full-backs would send direct passes to find the two wingers.
However, such a way of playing the ball will inevitably reduce the success rate of passing and thereby lose the ball. Press and press high.
This is also the first time that Real Madrid has been suppressed by Manchester United!
When the game reached the 89th minute, the fourth official on the sidelines also held a substitution card and signaled to all the fans and thousands of spectators:
Three minutes of additional time!
At this moment, under the pressure of Martial and Lingard, left back Marcelo glanced at the midfielder and found that Kroos was closely followed by Kante, so he had to He sent a direct pass, trying to contact Ronaldo who was retreating from the left. However, Herrera, who had followed Ronaldo all game, stepped forward, got ahead of Ronaldo, and swept the ball back with a sliding tackle.
As soon as the ball came to Lingard’s feet, he heard a familiar shout from the left:
"Jesse!"
Looking out, Lingard saw Ling Feng running towards him.
Behind him, Modric followed closely.
In an instant, Lingard did not hesitate at all. With a slight push from his foot, he sent the ball to Ling Feng's path.
Then, he watched Ling Feng pass the ball away from him, then advanced with the ball, heading towards Real Madrid's formation without hesitation!
The first one to come up was "Teacher Tony" Cross.
As early as the second half, Cross received a yellow card for a foul on Ling Feng.
But this time, facing the menacing Ling Feng, Cross was unsure and did not dare to attack or commit a direct tactical foul.
There are three minutes left before the end of regular game time. If he receives a red card and goes off the field, Real Madrid will have one less person to fight in overtime!
However, Ling Feng didn't even give him a chance to foul!
Just turning the inside of his right foot to the left and accelerating, the Red Devils No. 7 flew directly past Cross.
Then we met the last barrier of Real Madrid's defense - Casemiro!
Casemiro, who also had a yellow card on his back, did not dare to rush forward rashly, fearing that he would receive a second yellow card for a foul, or that Ling Feng would speed up and pass him clean.
He had no choice but to stand sideways, staring at Ling Feng's feet, fighting and retreating, trying to slow down Ling Feng's advancement as much as possible.
According to the preparation before the game and the matchup during the game, Casemiro has a certain understanding of Ling Feng.
Ling Feng has the ability to break through with the ball, and his left and right feet are very balanced, whether he is breaking through to the left or to the right,
and he is very fast, very fast!
Once Ling Feng's breakthrough direction was not blocked, he would only suffer one end.
So, he had no intention of stretching his legs. He just slowed down Ling Feng as much as possible and waited for his teammates to come to help defend.
However, Ling Feng did not give Casemiro any time to think.
I saw that he only used a step and shoulder-sinking rhythm change, and then suddenly moved the ball to the right, using the terrifying explosive power to change direction and accelerate, directly passing Casemiro!
“Ling Feng has passed!”
Real Madrid captain Ramos, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed over immediately and slid directly from the ground!
He knew very well that if Ling Feng's advance was not stopped, Ling Feng would be able to shoot.
However, the moment he came down to put down the shovel, Ling Feng seemed to have been prepared. He raised the toes of his right foot, picked up the ball, and jumped up at the same time.
"What?" In the meantime, he used the ball to get past Ramos who was making a tackle, and completed an amazing second touch of the ball in the air. He flicked the ball with the instep of his outside foot and then landed steadily.
This extremely smooth operation directly stunned the players on both sides of the field.
Holy shit!
What kind of divine level is this? !
Amidst the exclamations of fans from both sides, Ling Feng had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
At this moment, whether it is the other central defender Varane or the left back Marcelo, it is too late to make up the defense.
I saw Ling Feng pass the ball directly, and then before the two defenders moved in to double-team, he faced the attacking Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas alone!
“Single sword!”
"Navas attacks!"
Staring at the Red Devils No. 7 who entered the penalty area, Navas looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
As early as the World Cup in Brazil three years ago, Navas had already experienced the difference of Ling Feng.
At that time, Ling Feng was still a little immature and had just made his first start for the Three Lions.
In that game, Ling Feng's several putt shots outside the penalty area were all resolved by him.
Although his shooting skills were average, Ling Feng's passing was accurate and deadly at the time, helping the Three Lions defeat Costa Rica.
Three years later, he and Ling Feng met again in the Champions League final.
However, Ling Feng today has become more powerful than three years ago.
Not just passing the ball, every time he touches the ball, every time he dribbles, he is a threat!
This time, for the sake of the team and himself, he must block Ling Feng's single strike!
At this moment, time seems to have stopped.
The eyes of fans all over the world are focused on the penalty area of Real Madrid at the Millennium Stadium, watching the duel between Ling Feng and Navas!
In this duel that is about victory, the Champions League championship, and even the Ballon d'Or, if Navas wins, Real Madrid will retain the hope of winning the game;
If Ling Feng If they win, the remaining three minutes will become Real Madrid's last desperate moment.
And Ling Feng did not let go of this absolute opportunity to sink the Galaxy Battleship!
The more critical the moment, he felt that his heartbeat suddenly slowed down, and his brain became extremely clear and calm.
In his eyes, Navas was like turning on slow-motion special effects, exposing all his flaws in front of him.
I saw that he was like a martial arts master who was lifting his weight easily. He made a fake pendulum move and directly shook off Navas's body center of gravity. Then he moved his instep and accelerated past this man from the right. The last Real Madrid player.
Then, with a slight push from the arch of his right foot, he sent the ball into the empty goal, completing a fatal blow to Real Madrid!
The game time also happened to be at the 89th minute and 59th second!
In other words, at the last second of regular game time, Ling Feng scored this divine goal that is likely to determine the outcome of the game!
The next second, the Millennium Stadium burst into deafening cheers as if a super bomb had been dropped!
And the over 100 million fans around the world who are watching this Champions League match are venting their excitement in front of the TV.
Among them, Red Devils fans all over the world knelt down in various places to celebrate!
In contrast, the Real Madrid fans, both inside and outside the stadium, wore masks of pain, held their heads in their hands and looked in disbelief.
"Goal~~~Goal~~~Goal~~~"
"Unbelievable! Incredible!"
"At the last moment of the regular game, Manchester United No. 7 Ling Feng completed a goal that was enough A great performance that will go down in the history of the Champions League!”
“This is a golden goal, and it may also be the final shot that ends the suspense of the game!”
“On the field! The score became three to two!”
"Although this sounds very ridiculous, there is not much time left for Real Madrid!"
Amidst the cheers from the sky, Ling Feng, who completed the final victory, just ran to the main stand. , made the iconic "King of the World" celebration.
Arrogant, uninhibited, and domineering
Immediately afterwards, he was swarmed by his teammates and substitute players.
At this moment, Ling Feng is the king of this stadium!
Compared with the excitement and excitement of the Manchester United generals, the Real Madrid stars either looked at each other in confusion or had empty eyes.
Even Ronaldo looked up to the sky and lamented.
The game has entered stoppage time, and at this time the opponent once again took the lead.
In other words, they only have three minutes left to save the victory and save their dream of defending the Champions League!
However, it took them more than 80 minutes to penetrate Manchester United's goal twice with difficulty.
To tie the score within three minutes?
Easier said than done!
