402 The road of kingship is rugged, defeating Munich

Bayern Munich replaced two players, Sauer and Ziegler, when the game entered stoppage time in the 120th minute.

Obviously, it was a penalty kick instead.

"At the end of 90 minutes of regular time and 30 minutes of overtime, the score remains unchanged, and then it will enter a brutal penalty shootout! This reminds us of last season's Champions League final, Millwall's penalty shootout

After a 3-0 victory over Real Madrid, Hall’s order of penalty kickers also became clear after the game.

For the sake of a hotly debated topic, how will Millwall perform at the Olympiastadion in Munich today? Bayern Munich has the advantage of home court. The tens of thousands of fans present put pressure on their opponents and support Bayern. This is a positive factor for them.

Can they take another step forward towards the dream they have been pursuing for twenty-three years?”

Players from both sides were preparing for the penalty kick on the sidelines. The substitutes and players who were substituted also came over to cheer up their teammates. The team doctor and masseur gave muscle massage to the players who had worked hard for 120 minutes.

Aldridge is considering the order of penalty kickers.

It is basically impossible to prepare for this matter before the game. You can practice penalty kicks, but it is difficult for the head coach to have a list of penalty kickers in his mind, because the prepared penalty kickers may not last until the last minute during the game.

Then it will disrupt the plan.

Klinsmann said to Aldridge with a solemn expression: "How about it be like last season's final? As long as the goalkeeper and defender make free throws, the pressure on the opponent will be very great."

Aldrich glanced at Butt thoughtfully, who looked calm. He then turned to look at Kahn not far away, and finally shook his head and said: "That might be too risky."

The strange move had an unexpected effect for the first time. But Heathfield could not have imagined that Millwall would arrange penalty kickers in this way. In addition, in last season's Champions League final, Millwall asked the goalkeeper, defender, and midfielder to take the penalty in this order.

The penalty kick caused a sensation after the game. It can be said that it almost became a classic.

Even if Bayern Munich players see Millwall sending out penalty kickers like this again, they will probably be mentally prepared.

In addition, by letting Butt play first to face Kahn, Aldrich believed that this was not to put pressure on Bayern Munich, but to put pressure on Butt.

Every generation of goalkeepers has almost crushed many outstanding goalkeepers in the same period. Born in this era, Bute was very unlucky. Although he cannot be called a goalkeeper, he has always been inferior to Kahn and Lehmann in the national team.

, what kind of psychological impact will it have?

Kahn had just been promoted to the main goalkeeper of the national team this season, and when he was in high spirits, Bute was still ranked third in the national team even though he had won many honors with Millwall.

Aldridge decided on the order of penalty kickers.

Before the penalty shootout started, 11 people on the field walked to the center circle. Bute hugged each of his teammates before walking to the goal. Then he walked to the goal, and Bayern Munich took the penalty kick first.

Millwall's remaining 10 players in the center circle linked arms and formed a line, staring in the direction of the goal with serious expressions.

On the sidelines, Aldridge called the coaching staff, team doctors and other staff to his side. They also lined up arm in arm, and the substitutes followed suit.

This seems to have become a Millwall tradition.

When the cruel penalty shootout comes, they have to stand together and transform from scattered individuals into a powerful whole, not only showing absolute confidence, but also giving strength to the players on the field.

When Bayern Munich's players walked to take the penalty kick, the stands fell silent, as the home team's fans hoped to reduce the pressure and noise caused to the players.

Basler was the first to take the penalty kick.

With a strong kick, the ball hit the dead center. Bute guessed the direction, but the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky to do anything.

"Bayern Munich has made a good start!"

Huge cheers came from the stands, and then there was a commotion, and they wanted to make more noise to disturb Millwall's players.

"Who will Millwall send? Bute? Or Materazzi? Oh, Bute didn't come out. It was Larsson who walked to the penalty spot and took the first penalty."

Facing Kahn, Larsson took the shot from the blind spot calmly and successfully, but Kahn made a mistake in judgment and rushed to the other side.

"Larson withstood the pressure and helped Millwall score the first goal."

Sauer made a penalty kick.

Henry scored a penalty.

Yankel made a free throw.

Pirlo made a penalty kick.

Matthaus made a penalty kick.

Materazzi made a penalty kick.

"In the first four rounds, both teams hit all their penalty kicks! At the beginning of the fifth round, Bayern Munich was led by Effenberg. It was Tiger who scored with a header in the early stages of the game to help Bayern Munich equalize the total score. Faced with this penalty kick

, will he give Bayern Munich another reassurance?"

Effenberg stood in front of the penalty kick with no fear on his face. He also fired a powerful volley from a tricky angle. Butt guessed the direction again, but this kind of ball made it impossible for the goalkeeper to save it.

"At 5:4, Bayern Munich completely lost the pressure to Millwall. Now let's see who was the last player from Millwall. As expected, it was Nedved!"

Nedvěd didn't even look at Kahn, he just ran up and volleyed the ball into the net. Kahn was also very angry. He really hit the right direction this time, and his finger even touched the ball, but he just couldn't.

Keep the ball out of the goal.

"Both sides scored in all five rounds of penalty kicks! Next comes the sudden death penalty!"

Bayern Munich's sixth player who stepped up to take the penalty kick was Ziegler. He deceived Butt with his kick and shot the ball into the opposite direction of the goal.

It was Millwall's sixth player's turn.

But no one came out yet.

"Hey, it's your turn."

Southgate touched Ronaldinho, who seemed to come out of his daze, then let go of his teammate's shoulder and prepared to take the penalty kick.

"Wait a minute, or I'll go!"

Southgate was a little worried when he saw Ronaldinho's condition.

Ronaldinho shook his head firmly and walked towards the penalty spot step by step.

After entering the sudden death method, the penalty kicker can take any penalty, but the player who has taken the penalty cannot take the penalty again before all 11 players have taken the penalty.

Aldridge just said lightly before the penalty shootout started: If there is no winner after five rounds of penalty kicks, Ronaldinho, Lampard and Zambrotta will go first.

What he actually meant was that any of the three people could go. There was no order of assignment, but maybe he read Ronaldinho's name first, and everyone thought that Ronaldinho must go in the sixth round.

In the noisy Olympiastadion in Munich, Ronaldinho slowly came to the penalty kick, picked up the ball, kissed it and then positioned himself. He took a few steps back, ran up and pushed the ball into the net.

But as soon as he scored the ball, the referee signaled that the penalty kick was invalid.

Ronaldinho was stunned. The referee signaled that he hadn't blown the whistle yet.

Seeing Ronaldinho's performance, Aldrich's heart suddenly lifted.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, so he took the penalty kick. Although the ball went in, it reflected how nervous he was!

Ronaldinho took another free throw and this time he waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

Watching the ball, with the noise from the stands echoing in his ears, Ronaldinho had a lot of thoughts.

Defending the European Champions Cup, this supreme honor, the expectations of teammates, the support of fans, and my own shining moment...

This penalty must be scored. Must, must...

Taking a run-up, stepping on the set point and preparing to shoot, the moment Ronaldinho made the move, the whole audience exclaimed.

He slipped!

When he slipped, his toe touched the ball, and the damn ball slowly rolled towards the goal. Kahn was also fooled by Ronaldinho's slipping action, but he reacted quickly, braked urgently after moving to the right, and then struggled towards the goal.

He reached out from the middle to pounce and fished the ball away from the goal line!

Ronaldinho slipped to the ground and watched the ball miss. He was like a bolt from the blue. He didn't even realize that after 120 minutes of fierce battle, he just slipped after exerting force and his thigh had been strained.

He was completely unaware of the physical pain that penetrated his mind, because his heart was a hundred times more painful than that!

The noise in my ears turned into loud cheers, which were the Bayern Munich home fans reveling.

Kahn stood up, opened his arms and ran towards his teammates, rushing past Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho fell to the ground on his back, covering his face with his hands, tears pouring out from his fingers uncontrollably like a flash flood...

Self-blame was like a devil swallowing up all his emotions, as if there was a voice echoing deep in his heart.

You have failed everyone, fans, coaches and teammates!

Bayern Munich's players and coaches rushed into the field from the bench, and they ran all over the field to celebrate the comeback!

"The penalty shootout ended. The total score of the Champions League semi-final between Bayern Munich and Millwall was 1:1, and the penalty shootout was 6:5. Bayern Munich won and challenged the European Champions Cup again after 23 years! Although the defending champion

Millwall fell in a penalty shootout, but their performance left us in awe, Ronaldinho

He missed the most important penalty kick, but we can't criticize him too much. He is only 19 years old. If we think of Henry, Pirlo, Materazzi, Butt, Zambrotta and other young guys in their early 20s, Mir

Wall has done the best they can, but to be eliminated in such a heroic way, their fans may feel regretful."

In the stands, thousands of Lions fans suddenly burst into song after a brief silence.

In their glory days, the fans weaved many catchy and fresh songs, but at this moment, they sang that original, persevering song again.

"No one likes us, it doesn't matter! No matter where you are, we will be with you until death..."

The collective singing of thousands of people even drowned out the celebratory noise of Bayern Munich's home fans.

The moment Ronaldinho slipped and Kahn blocked the ball in front of the goal line, everyone around Aldridge lowered their heads in frustration, but he still stared at the court with his head held high.

Bayern Munich was celebrating, while many Millwall players fell down in the center circle.

Henry sat on the ground with his hands on his knees, lowered his head and sighed deeply.

For two consecutive seasons, he fell to the semi-finals. He lost to Millwall in Monaco last year and lost to Bayern Munich in Millwall today.

Gianluca Zambrotta, Lampard looked numb with his hands on his hips and his head lowered, while Materazzi lay directly on the ground and looked at the night sky, closing his eyes in self-reproach.

If he could block Yankel's header in the early stages of the opening period, Effenberg would definitely not be able to score!

Larsson, Nedved and Southgate were comforting their teammates.

After the game, reporters and cameramen on the sidelines also rushed into the field, trying to capture the expressions of the players and coaches at close range after the game.

When the camera came to Aldridge, Aldrich pushed him away with one hand. Then he turned towards Heathfield, smiled and shook hands with him.

"Congratulations to Bayern Munich for advancing to the final, you deserve the victory."

Heathfield didn't expect that the young marshal would be so graceful at this moment. He just said thank you and didn't know what to say to comfort him?

After Aldrich congratulated Hitzfield, he turned around again and strode toward the goal.

At this moment, promoted Bayern Munich seemed to be unimportant.

The focus of the live broadcast camera was on Aldridge, watching him step by step towards the Brazilian young man who fell at the penalty spot.

People are curious, how will he treat Ronaldinho who missed the penalty kick? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
