Chapter 215 Change history, do what you say! (Guarantee
The protest of the Manchester United players was invalid. This penalty was indisputable and belonged to Lazio.
Evra not only gave the opponent a perfect penalty kick opportunity because of his foul, but he also received a yellow card.
Now everyone only cares about who will take the penalty kick on Lazio's side.
For some reason, Lazio has won very few penalties in Serie A, so no one knows who Lazio's first penalty kicker is.
But actually there is, and the first penalty taker this season is Falcao.
Because I want to score more goals for Falcao...
Falcao has scored 11 goals in the Champions League this season.
If he scores this penalty kick, he will tie the record of the player with the most goals in a single term after the Champions League was restructured.
Before him, it was Ruud van Nistelrooy of Manchester United. He represented Manchester United in the 2002-2003 season and scored 12 goals in the Champions League.
But that's because the Champions League at that time had two round-robin group stages, with more games than now, and the competition in the group stage was less difficult than the knockout rounds.
The 2002-2003 season was the last one before the Champions League canceled the double round-robin group stage. Since then, no one could score twelve goals in a season until Messi appeared.
But now, Lazio's Falcao is about to become such a person!
The commentators were a little excited, and they told the TV audience how difficult it was to score 12 goals in the Champions League in one season.
"Falcao now has eleven goals. If he scores one more goal, he will tie Ruud van Nistelrooy's single-season scoring record in the Champions League set by Van Nistelrooy in the 2002-2003 season!"
Everyone is looking forward to the historic moment.
Lazio's teammates also knew it, so no one tried to compete with him.
But Falcao, holding the football in his arms, was thinking about a question.
He placed the football on the penalty spot, then turned around and retreated, but instead of preparing for a run-up, he exited the penalty area directly.
Everyone was dumbfounded - the distance of this approach was a bit... a little too long, right?
A little longer? Of course a little longer, because Falcao ran straight to the center circle!
What is going on?
Falcao walked up to captain Jose Passarella, who was guarding the opponent's counterattack in the center circle.
"You take the penalty on this ball, Jose," Falcao said to Passarella.
Passarella was a little surprised: "Huh?"
"I think you are more suitable to take this penalty than me," Falcao said.
"But you are the first penalty kicker in the team..." Passarella felt that this was against the rules.
Falcao suddenly changed his face and said with a smile: "Okay, let me tell the truth, Jose. The pressure of this penalty kick is too great. I dare not take it. If it kicks away, I will be a sinner forever! They
I would say that because I am going to Barcelona, it doesn’t matter if I don’t score a penalty. But I believe you, Jose, if it were you, it would be okay! Your ability to withstand pressure is much better than mine!”
Jose Passarella wanted to say something else, but Falcao interrupted him and pushed him up: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, everyone is waiting! Come on, don't waste any more time.
Maybe the referee will cancel our penalty kick opportunity directly?"
Jose Passarella stopped talking and ran towards the penalty spot.
Everyone was looking at him, and he could feel the doubts, surprises, and malicious curses in their eyes.
He even knew what these people were cursing.
He missed the most crucial penalty kick in the penalty shootout in last year's Champions League quarter-finals.
Those people hope he will miss the penalty kick now as well.
Although the journey was not long, it was not short either. Passarella did not rush all the way, as if he was afraid of being watched by others.
He maintained his speed and moved forward at a constant speed.
Accept those gazes calmly.

"What's going on?" The commentator was also surprised and puzzled. "Didn't Falcao take a penalty kick? This was his best chance to tie Van Nistelrooy's record! How could he give up this opportunity?
Give up?"
"Jose Passarella came to take this penalty kick? What did Falcao think? Doesn't he know that Jose Passarella once missed a key penalty kick?"
"This is an evasion of responsibility! Yes, penalty kicks at this time are very important and critical, and the pressure is huge. But if a player cannot withstand such pressure, he will never become a superstar! I think the representatives of Barcelona saw this scene
When the time comes, they may regret that they spent so much money to buy such a coward!" The person who spoke so seriously was not the Spanish commentator, nor was he Catalan, but Italian.
He seemed more anxious than anyone in Barcelona.
Because he wants Lazio to win. No matter what they say about winning, Lazio is indeed an Italian team. If Lazio wins, Italian football can indeed gain more benefits.
But Falcao handed such a crucial penalty kick as child's play to a person who had missed a penalty kick at a critical moment. That was evading responsibility! It was to ruin Lazio's victory!
Lazio loses the game and the benefits of Italian football are gone.
That's why he was so angry.
※※※
The Lazio coaching bench was also puzzled.
Why did Falcao suddenly give the penalty kick to Jose Passarella?
"What the hell...what is Falcao doing?!" Someone among the coaching staff complained, and then came to Chang Sheng: "Chang, you should stop this childish behavior!"
But to their surprise, Chang Sheng did not stop him, but expressed his support.
"I believe that Falcao did this carefully and has his reasons. But the most important thing is... I believe in Jose."
Chang Sheng said this.
"So there is no need to substitute. Let Jose play."
"But what if... I mean what if, what if he misses the ball again? The quality of the turf today is worse than the Allianz Arena a year ago!"
Chang Sheng shrugged: "The worst case scenario is overtime."
"But we might lose the championship..."
Chang Sheng curled his lips: "I like the championship more than anyone else, but sometimes, I think the championship is nothing compared to letting an excellent player come out of his psychological shadow... And... if he can get out of his psychological shadow,
We came out of it and won the championship, killing two birds with one stone, how great.”
The other party seemed to want to say something, but Chang Sheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "Okay, now let's watch the game."
After saying that, he turned to look at the court.
※※※
Jose Passarella has entered the penalty area.
He passed through a group of stunned players from both sides, his expression as usual.
He walked to the penalty spot, picked up the football again, and after spinning the football a few times, he found the Adidas logo, put the side of the logo facing him, and placed it again on the penalty spot.
Then he straightened up and retreated, this time really going for a run-up. He retreated to the penalty area line and stopped, turned to look at the referee, and waited until the whistle sounded.
※※※
Manchester United breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered that it was not Falcao but Jose Passarella who took the penalty.
Falcao is in hot form today. If he is allowed to take the penalty, the result is really hard to predict.
But when it was Jose Passarella, everyone relaxed.
Everyone knows that it was Jose Passarella who missed one of the most important penalty kicks in the Champions League quarter-finals last season, causing Lazio to lose to Bayern Munich.
Since then, he has not taken a penalty kick, whether in club or national team.
It is generally believed that he suffered from penalty phobia and was unable to extricate himself. Therefore, he simply stopped taking penalty kicks.
Last time he slipped because of his foot. This time the venue is worse than last time, so the chance of his foot slipping is also higher...
If it were Jose Passarella, our Manchester United would really have a great chance of escaping death!
Even Evra, who made a mistake, stared closely at Jose Passarella, seemingly hoping to use his gaze to interfere with the opponent and make him miss the penalty kick.
※※※
The reporters in the media gallery also discussed this sudden situation a lot.
Falcao had planned the penalty kick, but suddenly changed his mind and let Jose Passarella take the penalty. What on earth was he thinking?
Most reporters believed that Falcao was overwhelmed by the pressure and did not dare to face the penalty kick.
The pressure on this penalty kick is really great.
Counting injury time, there may still be about ten minutes before the end of the game.
At this time, Lazio got a penalty kick. Logically speaking, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But if everyone thinks so, then it will be a huge pressure on the penalty kick player himself. Because it is normal for a penalty kick to be scored, and it is inappropriate not to score a penalty kick.
Therefore, before the free throw kicker takes the kick, he has already entered into the psychological suggestion that "this ball can only be scored, but cannot be missed."
Only success and no failure are allowed in anything, which will become a huge pressure.
What's more, this matter directly determines the result of the game, determines the goal that the whole team has worked hard for all season, and is related to the first time that all Lazio fans have dreamed of!
Although they understood the pressure, they were still disappointed that Falcao gave up the penalty kick so easily, especially when he chose Jose Passarella, a manager who had missed a penalty kick before!
It's even more incomprehensible.
What exactly is going on in his mind?
You can give it to Benzema, but what do you give him? Don’t you know that he missed a penalty kick last season, which caused you to be eliminated?!
The Italian reporters who supported Lazio to win the championship were sighing.
Breno Pacheco smiled happily.
He felt that God really had not abandoned him.
At such an important time, Falcao did not dare to take penalties because he was under too much pressure, and made a wrong choice...
Lazio, Lazio, you yourselves have become confused and have surrendered...you still want to win?
wishful thinking!
※※※
Although Manchester United fans don't know why Falcao gave up the penalty kick to Jose Passarella.
But many of them know that it was Jose Passarella's missed penalty kick that caused Lazio to be eliminated by Bayern Munich last season.
Speaking of which, this incident about Jose Passarella is really... spread all over the world, and everyone in the world knows it...
These Manchester United fans finally thought of how they could help their team win and stop Lazio.
It just so happened that in the second half, the stands behind the Manchester United goal were the territory of the Manchester United fans.
The sea of red surged at this time, and huge boos sounded above the Luzhniki Stadium.
It was like a thunderstorm over the ocean. The deafening roar made people's hearts tighten.
The Lazio fans were powerless to do anything about all this. All they could do was not to interfere with Jose Passarella during the penalty kick.
As a result, their silence gave the Manchester United fans an opportunity to make noise. However, they were not able to use louder voices to overpower each other, which would only upset Jose Passarella.
Although they are not optimistic about Jose Passarella's penalty kick, everyone is standing in front of the penalty kick. What else can they do except support?
※※※
Amidst the huge boos, the wind and rain seemed to be getting stronger.
The corner flag that had been wet by the rain hung down weakly and clung tightly to the flagpole, but now it was blown up again by the wind, making a hunting sound!
Seen from a distance, the rain lines in the sky were also distorted by the wind, and they hit Jose Passarella's face diagonally from the sky.
against the wind!
This is a penalty kick against the wind!
Many Lazio supporters frowned.
The situation cannot get any worse!
**, it’s just a penalty kick, isn’t it?
※※※
Chang Sheng looked up at the sky, and the rain was rushing towards him. The big raindrops hit his face and it hurt a little. He even had to squint his eyes, otherwise the rain would hit his eyes directly.
Is this your last ditch effort?
Always win without worrying but smile instead.
That's all you can do, do you have any other tricks?
Oh, gone?
Then it's my turn.
Watch carefully in the sky, how I defy heaven!
Fighting against the sky is endless fun!
※※※
The whistle that seemed to have been waiting for a century finally sounded.
Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Jose Passarella.
His expression remained normal and he started to run.
Lazio fans held their breath, and the boos from Manchester United fans reached a new level. They also waved their arms desperately, making the stands behind the goal look like a messy abstract painting.
The wind suddenly increased with their howling!
The jersey originally attached to Van der Sar was even blown forward by the wind!
The wind and rain became more violent, roaring towards Jose Passarella, who was approaching the runner, as if trying to push him back...
Jose Passarella braved the wind and rain and ran in front of the football. He stepped hard on the ground with his left foot, and the long steel nails dug into the muddy pond in front of the goal, like a big tree with roots.
Then he raised his right leg.
Everyone was staring at his body, trying to see if there were any signs of leaning to the left.
But they didn't see it when they knew that the outer toe of Jose Passarella's right foot hit the middle and upper part of the football hard.
The football was slightly higher than the turf, skimming low over the muddy turf!
For this kind of football that flies close to the ground, no matter how strong the wind or rain is, it will not help!
Van der Sar judged the right direction. He quickly fell to the ground and threw himself on his side. His hand stretched out and touched the football!
At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Lotito, the president of Lazio Club, stretched out his hand and pressed it firmly on his heart, gritting his teeth.
Van der Sar's hand touched the football and he wanted to push it away.
But when he exerted force, his fingers slipped on the smooth surface of the football! He only stirred up a splash of water!
The football flew from his hands into the goal!
※※※
The boos of the Manchester United fans were instantly drowned out by the cheers of the Lazio fans. The cheers swept the entire Luzhniki Stadium in one second and became the only sound here!
"The ball went in!!! Jose Passarella completed his redemption!! Powerful and decisive penalty kick! Lazio achieved a 2:1 reversal!!"
The commentator shouted wildly.
Chang Sheng, who was leaning forward on the sidelines, suddenly leaned back and waved his arms vigorously. He waved all the rainwater on his body into the air and turned into rain and mist.
This time, he faced the wind and rain on his face, without squinting or avoiding, and allowed the rain to hit his face and open mouth.
Come! Destiny! Come!
I said I wanted to change history, and I did what I said!!
