"The game is over! The game is over! With Edman's final word, Manchester United reversed and eliminated the Kings of Madrid at home! They became the second team in the Champions League since the reform to fall behind 0:2 in the first leg of the semi-finals, only to come back in the second round.
The team that came back to advance to the final! The first team was Madrid Pirates four years ago, and they finally won the Champions League that year! And this time, Manchester United will usher in the Champions League final at their home court! They have a real '
Home advantage'!"
The shuttle field burst into cheers, and the Manchester Athletic players on the field opened their arms and rushed towards center Janus Edman, who was the last one to take the penalty kick.
The players on the bench also rushed onto the field together.
Among them was Chen Xingyi, who was substituted in the 85th minute.
He had an excited smile on his face, completely unable to see the fatigue he felt when he was substituted.
Seeing this scene, He Feng said excitedly:
"Congratulations to Chen Xingyi! After a brutal penalty shootout, Atletico Manchester defeated the King of Madrid and reached the Champions League final! In this way, the 'Chinese Derby' will definitely be staged in this season's Champions League final! This is also a historical event
First time! Chen Xingyi became the second Chinese player to participate in the Champions League final after Hu Lai!"
Next to the Manchester Athletic players cheering and celebrating were the stunned Madrid Kings players.
Their captain, Mellie Banega, had his armband on his waist and stared blankly at the Manchester Athletic players celebrating wildly.
Someone on the Internet edited this scene together with the scene when his winning goal was called for offside. There was absolutely no sense of inconsistency, and it was impossible to tell which clip corresponded to which scene.
Coupled with the narrator's voice, this scene is really ironic.
"...Melli seems to have not recovered from the blow of the buzzer-beating goal being disallowed... He also did not perform very well in the thirty-minute overtime. Although he was brave in the penalty shootout
He was the first to reach the penalty spot and kicked the ball in. However, the impact on the team's morale was irreparable...
"After the winning goal was disallowed, the entire Madrid Kings seemed to be discouraged. Counting the thirty minutes of overtime, they actually still had more than forty minutes of game time... But regardless of Melli,
It was Payet, Sett... no one stepped forward, and in the end they were successfully dragged into a penalty shootout by Manchester United!
"At this time, the Madrid Kings have actually lost their fighting spirit and confidence. They don't believe they can defeat Manchester United in a penalty shootout. Just look at the eyes of the Madrid Kings players standing at the penalty spot...full of confusion and fear!
"Goodbye, Melli. Although he performed well this season and helped the team win the La Liga championship, his elimination in the Champions League semi-finals is still a failure that cannot be easily covered up. I hope this failure can inspire Melli,
Stimulate him to perform well in this summer's World Cup and prove that he is the best in the world with the World Cup championship..."

Lin Zhiyuan stood on the goal line. He looked left and right at the distance between himself and the goalposts on both sides to make sure he was in the center.
Then he tightened his gloves again, trying to bring the tips of his fingers to the front without leaving any empty space.
In this way, if he needs to throw the football away with his fingertips, he won't be unable to exert force because of the empty space in front of him.
Then he spit into the palms of his gloves, and then rubbed the saliva into the palms of both hands. This can increase the friction of the gloves.
After doing all this, he did not open his arms, but dropped his hands naturally, supported his body on the soles of his front feet, leaned forward slightly, stood on the goal line, and looked straight ahead.
At the end of the line of sight was the eighth Wijston player to take the penalty kick - Ukrainian international Yuri Isenko.
"...The brutal penalty shootout has reached the eighth round, with both sides missing two opportunities. Now the outcome is decided in a single round. The eighth Westin Athletic player who played first has already kicked the penalty kick. If
If Isenko can kick this penalty kick, then the penalty shootout between the two sides will enter the ninth round...If we continue like this, even the goalkeepers of both teams will have to take the penalty spot!"

"The winner of the Champions League semi-finals the day before yesterday was decided by penalty kicks, and today's Europa League semi-finals will also be decided by penalty kicks..."
In the stands, Ding Gaoyi, the assistant coach of the Chinese team, said with emotion.
"Isn't this great? Seamless connection." Qin Lin next to him joked.
"So you just skipped the semi-final between Pirates of Madrid and Vesuvius?"
Qin Lin smiled and shook his head: "You don't have to go to watch the game between Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei in person. We know their performance and level very well, and their recent state is also very stable. And running to three different places in three days is also
It’s really too tiring…”
"The last sentence is the real reason, right?" Ding Gaoyi joked, and then said with emotion: "Well, there are more and more Chinese players playing in Europe now, and sometimes they really can't get over..."
"So I have already made a report to the Football Association, suggesting that the Football Association create a new organization responsible for watching and collecting game information of overseas players. Now we can still rely on us as coaches to run the show, but it will definitely not be possible in the future. There must be someone dedicated to do it.
This kind of thing." Qin Lin said.
After watching the Champions League semi-final between Atletico Manchester and Kings of Madrid in Manchester, Qin Lin and Ding Gaoyi did not fly to Madrid to watch another semi-final between Madrid Pirates and Vesuvius at home.
Instead, he stayed in the UK and went to Leicester to watch the Europa League semi-final between Widgerstown and Westin Athletic.
The purpose is to observe the performance of the Chinese team's main goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan on the spot.
Although on the Internet, Chinese fans believe that the second leg of the semi-final between Madrid Pirates and Vesuvius is the highlight.
However, in the minds of the two professional coaches, that game did not have much value for on-site observation, so they still reserved their energy to watch Lin Zhiyuan's game.
But that doesn't mean they won't go to Spain.
Of course they will go, but they are not looking for Hu Lai.
Hu Lai may be their most assured player.
When the Madrid Pirates were in turmoil before, they never worried about Hulay.
Facts have proved this. From the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals that ended yesterday, it can be seen that the internal problems of Madrid Pirates should have been resolved.
Despite being fully prepared, Vesuvius was still unable to make a comeback in the away game.
Kamara, who has returned from injury, Farias on the left, and Hulay in the center form the most powerful offensive lineup of the Madrid Pirates.
They were full of firepower and cleanly defeated Vesuvius 4:1 at home, which was desperate and aggressive.
They eliminated Vesuvius with a total score of 8:4 and reached the Champions League final.
For the first time in the history of the Champions League final, the "Chinese Derby" will be held.
No matter who wins or loses, the Chinese players are the winners.
Of course, some Chinese fans may not see it that way. After all, this means that both Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi will miss at least half of the national team's World Cup training.
The World Cup trip for the Chinese team is indeed not a good thing.
While the two people were talking, the scene gradually became quiet.
In such silence, the whistle sound is particularly clear.
Ding Gaoyi and Qin Lin also closed their mouths at the same time and turned their attention to the goal.
Isenko started to run, and when he ran in front of the football, he suddenly slowed down. He raised his left leg but did not shoot immediately. His whole body seemed to be frozen.
He wanted to lure Lin Zhiyuan into making a save first, and then he would take the opportunity to shoot in the opposite direction.
But when he found that Lin Zhiyuan was motionless as if he was welded to the ground, he panicked and didn't know where to shoot...
But he can't always maintain this "golden chicken independent" posture - when kicking a penalty kick, his movements must be coherent. You can use fake moves to stun the opponent's goalkeeper, but you can't interrupt the shooting action and then change the action again.
As long as you raise your foot to shoot, the kick must go out.
Yuri Isenko had to finish the shot before his body completely lost his balance.
So in the end he had no choice but to kick the football to the left based on his instinctive tendency.
That is to say, when he shot, goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan, who was motionless, ejected like a bullet.
The direction of the attack was exactly the direction of Isenko's shot!
"Lin——! He made a save! He made a save!! Westin Athletic successfully entered the Europa League final this season! Wow!! That's amazing! Lin has become the hero of Westin Athletic!"
Under the hoarse roar of the German commentator, Lin Zhiyuan got up from the ground after completing the save, then opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area.
With him as the center, the Westin Athletic players on the field near the center circle, as well as the Westin Athletic substitute players and coaches on the sidelines, also ran wildly, chasing Lin Zhiyuan's figure.
At this moment, the entire stadium was filled with disappointed and angry boos and curses.
Ding Gaoyi and Qin Lin could clearly hear the shouts and curses of the Wijston fans not far away.
With their English proficiency, they can easily understand what the other person is saying.
It is the most painful and unwilling for any team to be eliminated in the semi-finals.
Widgston's ranking in the Premier League this season is not very satisfactory, and the entire club regards the Europa League as its only goal.
If you can win the Europa League, you can also "save the country" and qualify to participate in the Champions League next season, and you will participate as a seeded team.
Of course now their dreams are shattered.
Many Wiggerston fans began to leave in disappointment, while some unwilling people were still shouting and cursing in the stands.
I don’t know if he is scolding his opponent Westin Athletic, or he is still scolding the Widgerston players who failed to live up to expectations.
But in fact, Wijston's performance in this game was already outstanding.
After falling behind 0:2 in the first round, they returned to the home court and pulled back 2:0, rewriting the total score to a 2:2 tie.
Their performance was as heroic as Manchester United's two days ago.
But the final result was not satisfactory.
The game was also dragged into a penalty shootout. Manchester Athletic won the game, but Wijston was eliminated by Westin Athletic...
Qin Lin and Ding Gaoyi turned their attention from the disappointed and angry Wiggerston fans to the court. Westin Athletic goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan, who had made a great contribution in the penalty shootout, was already pinned down by his teammates.
"Okay, three people will be absent from our training camp..." Ding Gaoyi sighed half-jokingly.
"Just missing the early training camp, it actually has little impact." Qin Lin obviously did not agree with the worries on the Internet. "What is more important than the training camp is that they can gain competition experience and confidence on the top stage in Europe. I think the experience
Having passed the test of the European finals, they will be more confident in the World Cup."
Qin Lin withdrew his gaze, looked at his assistant, and said in a very positive tone:
"This time, we are going to create history in our own country, Lao Ding."
Ding Gaoyi had obviously heard Qin Lin's words many times, so he didn't have any special reaction. Instead, he nodded and asked: "Okay, okay, which stop should we go to next? Leeds? Or Manchester?"
Qin Lin gave the answer: "Go to Leeds and visit Leeds City Club."
