Chapter 117 Penalty!

“Mata—Gooooooooooooaaaaaal!”

"Gooooooooooooaaaaaal...the ball has gone in! The ball has gone in! The ball has gone in!!!"

"God! Inter Milan played a wonderful offensive combination, and finally Mata completed the final blow!! They broke the deadlock in the 15th minute!!"

"This goal is really beautiful! This is definitely the most exciting goal scored in the Champions League finals in the past ten years! This is a model of team goals! Almost all the midfielders and frontcourt players of Inter Milan participated.

When it comes to scoring a goal, someone breaks through with the ball, someone moves and pulls, someone feints, and there is a beautiful heel pass, there is a breakthrough response from the wing, and there is a penetration from the center! A wonderful goal! Made by Inter Milan!"

"Mata!! This young player who just celebrated his 18th birthday brought a perfect ending to Inter Milan's wonderful attack! This is the goal that broke the deadlock. Inter Milan now has the score.

Ahead!!!”

After scoring the goal, Mata beat the Inter Milan logo on his chest with his hand, then rushed to the stands of Inter Milan fans and raised his arms vigorously!

He was so happy!

He was so excited!

This is the final of the Champions League!

It is the highest level stage of European football!

To be able to score in such a final is every player's ultimate dream!

***********

"Mata!"

"Mata!"

"Mata!"

The Inter Milan fans burst into wild cheers, they loved the Spanish youngster.

Other players on the field also flocked to celebrate the goal excitedly.

Inter Milan's bench and coaching bench were also filled with jubilation.

Li Ang was hugged tightly by his assistant, and Banderas used all his strength to shout in Li Ang's ears, "We scored a goal! We scored a goal!"

Li Ang's face also looked a little ferocious because of his excitement.

This goal made him excited, not only because Mata's goal helped Inter Milan break the deadlock on the field, but also because this goal gave Li Ang hope to break fate and break historical inertia.

In his memory, in the original historical trajectory of the 2006 final, although Arsenal scored first and led Barcelona 1-0, their German goalkeeper Lehmann had already been given a red card before Arsenal scored.

After a penalty, Arsenal, who were fighting with ten men, took a temporary lead, but eventually lost the game 1-2 and were reversed by Barcelona.

At this moment, the red card situation that worried Li Ang did not appear. Inter Milan now took the lead with all the players in place, which gave him a wonderful feeling of excitement in his heart.

***********

Inter Milan was celebrating, but on Barcelona's side, Rijkaard waved his hands angrily, and the Dutchman's face turned grim.

Rijkaard and Li Ang are old rivals, and he naturally knows how difficult Li Ang's team is to deal with, especially when Inter Milan takes the lead, which means that Inter Milan can counterattack more calmly, and this also

This is what Li Ang's team is good at. At the Camp Nou last season, when Barcelona met Sporting Gijon for the first time in the league, Li Ang's team used defensive counterattack tactics to perfection and finally won the away game.

Barcelona, ​​that game can be said to be unforgettable for Rijkaard.

Barcelona must equalize the score as soon as possible!

The longer time passes, the more favorable the game situation will be for Inter Milan!

Rijkaard gritted his teeth.

When the game restarted, Barcelona players received instructions from head coach Frank Rijkaard, and they suddenly accelerated their attacking pace.

Giuly advanced with the ball on the left wing. This game has a different meaning for him. The French star spent most of his career in Ligue 1. He became famous very early.

However, because he did not play for a wealthy club, he was always looked down upon. After Monaco failed in the European Champions Cup final, Giuly joined La Liga giant Barcelona at the age of 26. Some people have been saying that Giuly went to Barcelona to mix seniority and retirement.

, this made the French star dissatisfied. This Champions League final was held at the Stade de France, the symbol of French football. Giuly eagerly hoped that he could help Barcelona win the championship at home. He wanted to prove himself to the world!

***********

Seeing Giuly taking the ball, David Silva came up to interfere.

Giuli made a cool buckle and Silva was easily passed by.

The sudden breakthrough of the Barcelona star from Lyon, France, attracted a burst of cheers and cheers from the Barcelona fans in the stands.

Zanetti stepped forward to greet him.

Facing Giuly, Zanetti did not blindly attack. He slowly retreated, intending to hold off Giuly and buy time for his teammates to help defend.

Giuli naturally knew Zanetti's plan, and he planned to make a quick decision.

His left shoulder sank, and Giuly made a move to break through to the sideline, but his right foot took advantage of the situation and pushed the football inside.

Zanetti knew that he had to take action, even though he also knew that Giuli might be a cover-up this time, but he knew that if he didn't take action, Giuli would turn the illusion into reality and really break through from that side.

When a defensive player faces an offensive player, he is always the passive one!

Zanetti moves his center of gravity and takes a shot!

"Giuli! Nice breakthrough!" the French commentator shouted.

Giuli's body flashed, and after tricking Zanetti into shifting his center of gravity, he changed direction again, passed Zanetti cleanly, and sped away with the ball.

***********

Rijkaard stood up on the sidelines. He secretly applauded Giuly's breakthrough and looked forward to more.

Giuly passed Inter Milan captain Zanetti. He controlled the ball at his feet very well and continued to advance forward.

However, Giuly suddenly noticed a touch of white appearing around him. This was the Inter Milan player wearing the white away jersey today!

Jiuli was shocked and had to slow down.

However, the chasing Inter Milan player moved extremely quickly and decisively with his feet. He fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, knocking Giuliani to the ground with the ball.

"Foul!" shouted the Catalan commentator.

"It's Carlos, he came back to cover, beautiful defense!" Milan's commentator shouted.

The referee Hauge hesitated for a moment, and then his gesture was 'side ball': no ​​foul, just a foul ball.

This caused dissatisfaction among the Barcelona players, who quickly ran over and surrounded the referee to protest.

Li Ang applauded on the sidelines, applauding Carlos's excellent defense, and then looked at the scene of Barcelona players surrounding the referee, Li Ang pursed his lips.

However, Jiuli's breakthrough also made Li Ang wary.

Today Barcelona's number one star Ronaldinho was temporarily restricted by Inter Milan's targeted defense and did not perform at his best. On the contrary, this time Giuly's breakthrough almost posed a threat to Inter Milan

.

Li Ang looked serious, and he did not dare to be careless about the French star.

***********

In the Barcelona Dream Team with Ronaldinho as the core, in addition to Ronaldinho, there are also Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, and Eto'o. They are all Barcelona's competitors.

An important force is considered to be the most important star of this Barcelona dream team. However, in Li Ang's view, there is another player in this Barcelona team. Although his name is not commonly reported in the media and is not attractive.

Attention-grabbing, but he is also very important to Rijkaard's team. This player is the Frenchman Giuly, who fully demonstrated his football intelligence and excellent professional ethics in the game.

Although the Frenchman Giuly had to give way to the junior Messi in 2007, during his three years at Barcelona, ​​he really played a key role in the reconstruction of Barcelona.

In the summer of 2004, French attacker Giuly moved from Monaco to Barcelona for 6 million pounds. Before moving to Barcelona, ​​he helped Monaco reach the UEFA Champions League final in the 2003/2004 season. However, Monaco lost to Mourinho in the final.

Porto coached by Rinho.

In the 2003/2004 UEFA Champions League, Monaco, coached by Deschamps, went through all the obstacles and reached the final with Porto, coached by Mourinho. However, Monaco lost the game 0-3 in the end. Perhaps for Giuly, he will feel

It's a pity because this game became his last game in Monaco, and he was substituted early due to a groin injury in this game.

At that time, Giuly was already a household name in France. He was cunning and extremely threatening, able to adapt to a variety of tactical systems, and capable of playing in multiple positions. During the game, Giuly was able to continuously destroy the opponent's defense with his excellent skills, and was able to score in goal.

He had a pretty calm side before.

Although Barcelona already had top superstars like Eto'o and Ronaldinho at that time, who could create and contribute a lot of goals to the team, they still needed a "model worker" who could maintain a stable state to form the team.

The team's front three - and Giuly is such a player.

The emergence of Giuly unlocked new skills in Barcelona's frontcourt, and he was able to contribute goals to the team from time to time. Although Giuly's performance in Barcelona was not as outstanding as in Monaco, there is no doubt that the French attacker

For the "Dream Team Two", it is really very important.

Rijkaard knew very well that Giuly was the best choice to reinforce Barcelona's forward line. He later talked about Giuly in an interview: "I didn't give much guidance to Giuly. For us, he is a

He is a very important player. He is a chance creator and he also has the ability to score goals. It would be an insult to just let him play on the side. Giuly's speed and intelligence are the basis of his game."

***********

Jiuli's breakthrough aroused Li Ang's vigilance.

He immediately made targeted adjustments and asked Modric to pay attention to help defend Zanetti's side.

Carlos' main task today, in addition to confronting Van Bommel, is to guard Ronaldinho. The task is already very heavy. It is impossible to expect Carlos to come over and fill in Zanetti's side every time.

Rijkaard saw that Giuly's side became active and immediately made adjustments, asking the team's offensive focus to temporarily shift to Giuly's side.

Three minutes later, Giuly once again tried to break through from the wing. However, this time he faced Zanetti's tough defense. When the Inter Milan captain and Giuly were in a stalemate, Modric cleverly grabbed the ball and took the football from Giuly's feet.

Stolen.

"Counterattack, counterattack! This is Inter Milan's chance to counterattack!"

After Modric successfully grabbed the ball, he directly launched the attack with a long pass.

Adriano was in the frontcourt, he headed the football directly back to Ronaldo, then turned around and ran forward.

After Ronaldo got the ball, he immediately played a wall-to-wall cooperation with David Silva who came to respond. After receiving the pass from Silva, he led the ball, accelerated at the same time, forced overtaking from the outside, and passed the ball.

Van Bronckhorst, who hurriedly came to defend, crossed the ball into the penalty area.

***********

Van Bronckhorst was shocked, but did not give up. He exerted all his strength, accelerated his feet, and tightly wrapped around Ronaldo. At the same time, he made small movements with his hands and pulled Ronaldo's jersey.

Ronaldo was well prepared for this. After passing the ball, he accelerated again, but his center of gravity was unstable and he fell directly into the penalty area.

Referee Hauge's whistle sounded.

"Hitting the wall! Beautiful! Ronaldo broke through Van Bronckhorst! Falling to the ground! Ronaldo fell in the penalty area!" the commentator exclaimed.

"Someone fell down! Ronaldo fell to the ground! The referee's whistle sounded, will it be a penalty kick? Will it be a penalty kick? Penalty kick! Penalty kick! Referee Hauge pointed to the penalty spot! Penalty kick! Van Bronckhoe

Sturt fouled Ronaldo! The 'alien' fell in Barcelona's penalty area! The referee awarded a penalty kick! This is Inter Milan's opportunity to extend their lead!"

"The Barcelona players were protesting and they surrounded the referee Haug! The Barcelona players seemed very emotional!"

"The Barcelona players were protesting, and they came up to the referee Hauge to argue. Van Bronckhorst raised his hands in the air, and he was trying to defend... This penalty kick is very bad for Barcelona, ​​which is lagging behind. They are still pinning their hopes on the referee.

The referee changed the penalty!"

***********

"There is no problem with this penalty kick! Van Bronckhorstra pulled Ronaldo's jersey, which caused Ronaldo to lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground when he accelerated! The penalty kick was awarded correctly, there is no problem!" Italian commentator Ferrari of Sky TV

He shouted excitedly. The slow-motion replay showed that Van Bronckhorst pulled Ronaldo's jersey in the penalty area. At this time, Ronaldo suddenly increased his speed. Under the camera, Van Bronckhorst's small action of pulling the jersey was extremely conspicuous.



Barcelona's protest was ineffective, and referee Hauge insisted on his decision: penalty kick!

Thirty-nine minutes into the game, Van Bronckhorst fouled Ronaldo in the penalty area. Inter Milan won a penalty kick and they had an excellent opportunity to expand the score!
