Chapter 397 382.370.354.349.348.346.8.25

For Real Madrid, Clemens' playing is not just a simple replacement of a goalkeeper. The impatience of the Real Madrid generals who have long been accustomed to Clemens behind them can also settle down a lot.

Although the defenders headed by Ramos are usually not very happy with Clemens' desire to tie them to the goal post with a rope, they are also very happy when they occasionally catch up with Clemens in the rotation in the league, but really After catching up with such a difficult bone like Manchester United, all the stars know how safe it is to have such a wall behind them.

It's not that Lopez is bad, but Clemens feels completely different to them. Just seeing the posture of many Real Madrid players not daring to go back last time, they know that they are uneasy.

The first thing Clemens did after he came on the field was to yell to his defenders: "Come back!"

A simple word made Ramos and Pepe rush to their positions. Clemens did not stick to the goal, but chose to run to the edge of the penalty area to fill the gap between the two.

Van Persie really wanted to fight for this opportunity. The physical strength of both sides was a bit weak in the extra time. Alonso, who was replaced by Real Madrid, was not a young man after all, and his running speed was not fast enough. Khedira also returned from injury and would not proceed rashly. In physical confrontation, it can be said that Manchester United still had a vague upper hand in overtime.

As long as one more goal is scored, Manchester United will be able to secure a ticket to the final!

But now here comes Clemens... Van Persie frowned fiercely, thinking that Real Madrid would completely give up and let Clemens come up to take risks, who knew that Mourinho used Clemens as the last weapon up!

Even knowing that Clemens is good, Manchester United's forward players still did not give up, running very actively, looking for possible opportunities.

Rooney has reached a position close to the middle. Moyes values ​​Rooney very much, but Ferguson has made it clear that he no longer regards Rooney as indispensable as before. He said nothing, so he had to run a lot in this game to show Ferguson his efforts.

And while running, he did get a chance!

"Rooney and Nayou made a wall-slamming match, but it didn't break through Alonso's defense! Alonsoka is in a good position. The veteran of Real Madrid and the retreating Kaka have already nailed Nani. Rooney passed the ball the other way! Hernandez has the ball again!"

After scoring a goal, Xiaopea can no longer enjoy the treatment ignored by Real Madrid players. If it is said that Hernandez has not been focused on because of his fame before, now Hernandez has broken Real Madrid's record of zero seals in the Champions League Afterwards, the entire Real Madrid team rushed over with red eyes after seeing Hernandez take the ball!

What the Mexican has been trained most at Manchester United is his shooting skills. He has been used as the strongest substitute since the Ferguson era. He is not very good at dribbling and passing skills. When Pei rushed over with a fierce look on his face, Hernandez subconsciously passed the ball with his back heel!

He didn't feel bad until the word got out.

Behind him... there is no one!

Van Persie has already reached the position in the penalty area. This position is very good. As long as the high-altitude ball passes, General Fan will naturally head the ball straight!Nani was entangled by Alonso and Kaka and couldn't get out. Rooney had stretched out and couldn't reach Hernandez. In the end, Hernandez actually got the ball into an empty no-man's land!

Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs kicked up and rushed forward when he saw the ball, but there were other players who started with him, and among them, a black shadow ran up especially quickly and decisively.

Kaka turned her head quickly, and what she saw was the blond boy who had already rushed out of the small restricted area at an extremely fast speed!

Clemens was very determined to go up, he didn't even think about calling his teammates for help, he rushed forward by himself, without looking at Giggs running over, he lay down on the ground and directly protected the ball in his arms.

This is in the penalty area. Clemens must not let Giggs have a chance to kick. The biggest advantage of the goalkeeper is that he can use all parts of his body to defend in the penalty area. Clemens has no intention of giving up. He resolutely fell to the ground to protect the ball, but also deliberately hid the key parts so as not to be injured by the kick.

If you encounter that kind of ruthless player, this kick may have already gone up. Everyone knows that Clemens is the biggest threat in Real Madrid. In addition, there will be a penalty shootout soon. As long as Clemens Abolished, then Real Madrid, which has no substitution quota, can only use non-goalkeeper players on the field as goalkeepers!

Maybe you will get a red card for yourself, or even a suspension, but the reward in exchange for this price is indeed very rich.

But this time it was Ryan Giggs who rushed forward. The veteran of Manchester United followed the Red Devils through the glory. Let alone the final, he didn't know how much he won just for the championship. Should he go all out to hurt others?joke.

Just frowning slightly, Giggs jumped up and jumped straight over Clemens' body. When he landed, he fell directly on the ground because of his unstable center of gravity, but he didn't touch Clemens at all. .

Kaka also let go of her heart, remembering how she once strangled someone's neck, she didn't know what to say to understand her current mood...

Clemens didn't feel that much. After he controlled the ball, he felt a gust of wind flying over his head and knew he was fine. He stood up neatly, and threw the ball vigorously with a roar!

Not only did he want the striker to go up, but he even made Clemens push Ramos and Pepe just now and run forward!

Now it is the end of the game. If this attack is effective, then the penalty shootout, which tests the heart, will not continue.

Then, instead of looking at the ball, he turned around and reached out to Giggs to pull him up.

The Manchester United defender also knew that he couldn't catch up, but he had to go up and try anyway, and started running after saying thank you in a low voice.Clemens himself retreated back to the goal line, leaning on the goal post with one hand and watching the situation at the far end.

If it is really a matter of life and death and only one goal is sought, Clemens must go to the opponent's penalty area to fight for a header to increase the high point. This is not because Clemens was infected with kicking waves Attributes, but a general goalkeeper will choose this when he is forced to have nowhere to go.

Anyway, losing one is also losing, and losing two is also losing, so why not go up and fight yourself, what if you get in?

But the current situation is that although the game is at the end, this offensive opportunity does not really completely affect the outcome of the game. Even if it fails, Real Madrid still has a chance.

And this opportunity is really in the hands of Clemens.

"When, when, when."

The radio equipment placed behind the goal recorded the movement of Clemens hitting the post with the sole of his shoe, and every hit was very real, and Clemens even warmed up there himself.

Everyone focused their eyes on the opponent's penalty area, only Mourinho looked at Clemens.

Have your children already started preparing for the penalty shootout... It seems that Manchester United's solid defense and De Gea's cheating today also gave Clemens some premonitions.

After the ball was thrown across the half by Clemens, it was Ronaldo who caught the ball, but it was not a solid defense line and De Gea who was hanging up, but a red card to prevent Ronaldo.

Hernandez, the only player in the Manchester United team who broke the goal of Real Madrid, hugged Ronaldo without hesitation when he returned to the defense, showing a kung fu that seemed to be practicing martial arts. Ronaldo fell to the ground!

Although Hernandez deliberately used his body as a buffer when he fell to the ground, Ronaldo still let Ronaldo bite the turf.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was attacked from behind in a daze, turned his head to look subconsciously, and met Hernandez's helpless smile.

Immediately afterwards, Hernandez stood up by himself, turned around and walked down the court. He didn't need to turn his head to know that the referee raised a red card at himself.

This change made the fans on the scene a little dazed, and Ronaldo was also there.

The Manchester United fans were dumbfounded for a while. Hernandez was the only player who scored the goal. Without him, I am afraid that Manchester United would not even be eligible for overtime.

But now Hernandez is almost asking for a red card. Everyone can see that this foul was not a careless one, it was clearly intentional, and even the most diehard Manchester United fans couldn't tell what it was.

Didn't you see that Cristiano Ronaldo, whom they love so much, is still sitting on the ground with grass clippings on the corner of his mouth...

"This..." Sesam was at a loss for words for a while, but he still said, "Herenandez's red card is not wronged. He blocked a real good opportunity. Ronaldo only has Manchester United's last line of defense, this fast break is very neat. Hernandez can't fight hard, but Ronaldo can only make this kind of foul. A red card is not wronged. However, the red card sent Hernan off Des, I don’t know if it’s Manchester United or Real Madrid who suffer.”

Who is at a disadvantage?

Of course Real Madrid!

Mourinho stomped his feet fiercely, threw the kettle in his hand on the ground, and said a Portuguese national curse from his mouth.

Now it is the end of the game, so what if Hernandez ends up?They didn't foul in the penalty area, Real Madrid had no chance of a penalty kick, and even a free kick was too far away, but Hernandez really destroyed an excellent offensive opportunity!

No matter how you calculate it, Manchester United has taken advantage of it, and this red card is not a loss at all!

If Hernandez was a player under his command, Mourinho would definitely defend him, but now he is the one who was cheated...

Damn Old Trafford!It was not enough to get Mesut into the pit, and finally came like this all at once!

This made the temperamental Mourinho give the child a vicious look when Hernandez was off the field.

Hernandez, hum, Bai has an honest face!

But no matter how confused Ronaldo is, how depressed Real Madrid is, in the end this ultra-long-range free kick still failed to save the team, even if Alonso, who is known for his long balls, was dispatched. The difficulty of breaking through with one kick seems to be a bit higher.

Just after Giggs pushed the ball out of bounds, the referee blew the whistle for the end of overtime!

"When the final whistle blew, the score was still 1-0, and the total score was a 1-1 draw!" Sessam felt a little pity, but there was also some excitement in his tone, "The next is a cruel penalty shootout. , This is a test for the head coach's formation, and it is also a big test for the goalkeepers on both sides!"

===

The second semi-final between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain will start tomorrow, but Mourinho has no time to think about which of the two teams can enter Lisbon. He only knows that there is only the last hurdle in front of Real Madrid. .

Penalty shootout.

According to the rules of the football game, if the two sides are tied in the regular 10 minutes, they will start three 10 minutes of overtime.

Five players selected by both sides, including the goalkeeper, can also play penalty kicks, and whoever scores as long as they score wins.

And these five candidates must be selected from the remaining players on the field at the end of the game. Substitutes and replaced players are not considered.

Mourinho did not draw up the candidates and order of penalty kicks in advance because of the situation on the field at the end. He could only gather them together after the players left the field, but instead of announcing the candidates, he directly threw the book in the On the ground: "Who goes up, you decide."

... Boss, it's not good for you to shirk responsibility so blatantly.

The only one who is leisurely is the goalkeeper Clemens. His only task as a goalkeeper is to guard the goal. He used to take part in free kicks and penalty kicks when he was in Deportivo, but when he came to Real Madrid, all of them The team is all forwards, and anyone can score goals. Clemens is not going to join in the fun.

The reason for Mourinho’s impromptu choice is also that he is not going to directly designate players. After all, the penalty shootout is no different than others. The selected players go up and score. Decent and impeccable.Especially for the No.1 free throw, the pressure is even more unimaginable.

I thought it was a hard job, but who knew that there were three people who stood up and spoke at the same time: "Boss, I..." The three looked at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Ramos raised his chin: "I'm the captain, of course I'm the first one to go up."

"Boss, the captain can be the last insurance, I will go first!" Morata with a straightforward face seemed to be a hard job, regardless of Ramos pulling his clothes.

Only Ronaldo calmly said: "I will definitely score a penalty kick."

Mourinho looked at them, and calculated that after coming to Real Madrid, there will be a penalty shootout, but the past results are not perfect. Now seeing three people appearing at the same time makes Mourinho Feel a little surprised.

Clemens covered his mouth with his hands and asked in a low voice, "Ricardo, what happened to them?"

Kaka drank water with a smile, not nervous at all, and just answered after hearing what Clemens said: "They don't want to be the last one. Who knows if they will have a chance to play."

If all the previous penalties are hit, and Clemens only needs to be brave once or twice, then the last person is doomed to miss the appearance.

Clemens didn't know that his teammates trusted him so much, the corner of his mouth slightly curved, and over there, Mourinho drew up the order of appearance with the enthusiasm of his players.

Ramos, Alonso, Morata, Kaka, Ronaldo.

Generally speaking, in the penalty shootout, in addition to placing hope on the scorers in the team, most of the pressure will be placed on the midfielders. Compared with the forwards, the midfielders are more resistant to pressure.

Of course, such things as pressure are basically negligible for a casual team like Real Madrid.

Seeing the list, Ronaldo was a little unhappy: "Boss, I have a high percentage of penalty kicks, why..." Why is it still the last one?

Mourinho replied solemnly: "Because you have the highest hit rate, so I want you to be the final insurance." Mourinho patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, Chris."

Is this called lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot?

Ronaldo snorted softly, if he had known that he would not have said that sentence just now...

Compared with Real Madrid's side looking for someone in front of the battle, Manchester United's side is much more relaxed.Ferguson, who was sitting in the stands, drew up the list early, and it only needs to be sent to Moyes.But at the same time as sending it over, another small note was stuffed into the hands of Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

De Gea was taken aback, opened the note with his head down, and then blinked, instead of throwing the note aside after reading it, he stuffed it into the glove, tightened the Velcro, and looked at the stands Ferguson.

The old man smiled lovingly and clapped his hands to De Gea. De Gea finally showed a smile, and the young Spanish goalkeeper blushed with excitement.

In the end, players from both sides stood within the arc of the middle circle according to the rules.

The players on both sides did not kneel on the ground and pray like some teams did. Instead, they straightened their backs one by one, with shoulders touching shoulders and arms crossing each other, as if they were comparing whose head was raised. get higher.

It's time for them not to believe in fate. What they believe in is their own ability, themselves, and they will eventually become the final team!

Both Clemens and Khedira stood next to the goal. The captains of both sides also guessed the coin. Real Madrid won and could choose the side. A good right to choose is the qualification that determines the priority.

Manchester United decided to start.

In the penalty kick finals, the probability of winning the team that shoots first is about [-]%. This is not a random guess, but a statistic based on the results of previous penalty shootouts.If you can choose the order, you will usually take the penalty kick first, so the pressure will undoubtedly be much less.

De Gea patted Clemens on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good luck, Thomas," De Gea's voice paused, "I think Wayne will kick to the left."

Clemens glanced at De Gea. Although it was just a simple sentence, the meaning of psychological warfare was very obvious.

It doesn't matter whether he says Rooney is left or right, it will leave traces in Clemens' heart. The goalkeeper's psychology will inevitably make a subconscious choice when making a save, whether to believe it or not.

But many times a little hesitation can lead to big mistakes.

Just now I saw someone handing a note to De Gea, but it was far away, and there were still people blocking it. Clemens couldn't see through others to see what was on it anyway.

Hearing what De Gea said now, Mr. Daochang thinks Sir Ferguson taught De Gea this sentence temporarily?

But that statement may be useful to others, but not so much to Clemens.

Mr. Daochang didn't speak, just nodded to De Gea and walked to the goal line.

Before the penalty kick was saved, as long as the opponent's player did not kick the ball, the goalkeeper could not leave the goal line. Clemens did not make strange movements to disturb the attention of the opponent's players, nor did he deliberately say anything to disturb Rooney, just calm standing there.

Clemens, who was dressed in black, had a golden jersey number, crisp blond hair, and clear blue eyes. However, unlike ordinary goalkeepers when making saves, Clemens did not lower his body, but It's looking straight at each other.

This action of poking there like a bamboo pole made the Real Madrid players feel a little uncomfortable.

"Is this the first time this kid played, is it like this?" Ronaldo asked Kaka beside him in a low voice.

Kaka smiled, well, even if they are teammates now, they still can't forget their children's reputation of scoring zero goals against Real Madrid in their first La Liga game.

Real Madrid at that time was a real background board. Almost two years later, the fear of being blocked by Clemens still cannot be erased.

Clemens tightened his gloves and stood in front of the goal. Rooney picked up the ball and wiped it with his jersey before placing it on the penalty spot.

Calm down, Rooney thought about the coach's advice just now, and didn't make eye contact with Clemens.

In addition to the skills and saving ability of kicking a penalty kick, there is also a psychological warfare between the two players. The way to deceive the goalkeeper is not only fake moves, but also eyes and other moves. The best of them is the current midfielder of Real Madrid Ozil, a pair of big eyes can completely make out the magical skills of watching the left side hit the right side.

But Rooney is not going to play any kind of psychological warfare with Clemens.

Rooney took a few steps back, and the next few run-ups were a heavy bombardment!

The angle of this shot is good, but the most important thing is the speed. Clemens did not choose to intercept with one hand, but clenched his hands into fists and flew sideways!

"boom!"

With a very clear sound, Clemens hit the ball out!

"Clemens jumped in the right direction! He punched Rooney's penalty with both fists! At present, Manchester United missed a penalty kick, and the score of the penalty shootout is still 0-0 for the time being!"

There is no second chance in a penalty shootout. Rooney could only watch the ball return not far from him, stepped on the turf hard and turned his head back to the team.

Clemens stood up, patted the grass on his body, thinking that Rooney had indeed kicked to the left just now, so he said "thank you" when he passed De Gea.

The Spanish goalkeeper didn't find the thank you very pleasant.

When it was De Gea's turn to pounce, he turned his back as if he was straightening his jersey, and stuffed the jersey into his shorts, but Clemens saw De Gea pull a piece of paper from his glove. After a careful look, he stuffed it back in and clapped his hands to indicate that it was ready.

Clemens felt a little strange, and in the next second, Ramos' penalty had arrived!

Real Madrid defenders have never been just defenders, but players who can contract the entire stadium. As the captain of Real Madrid, Ramos is naturally stable and determined. The Real Madrid fans behind the goal also know that this is a critical moment, and basically no one speaks out. They are all covering their mouths and waiting for the result of this time.

But they were not too worried in their hearts. Manchester United had already conceded a goal, and Ramos was a defender with a knife. This time, Real Madrid must...

"boom!"

This sound was very similar to the sound when Clemens hit Rooney just now.

Meilinger, who was not too nervous just now, almost gasped at this moment. Many fans who were sitting at home watching the broadcast almost threw the remote control on the TV screen!

"De Gea also guessed the position correctly, he saved Ramos' penalty! The score is still 0-0!"

Ramos looked at De Gea in disbelief. Now De Gea has been selected into the Spanish national team as the second goal to play for his country. Ramos is also very familiar with him. In the past training, De Gea has never I have never saved my own penalty, this time...

It was Mourinho, who frowned slightly and said something to Karanka. Karanka nodded, and quickly ran up the stands and ran towards the stand facing the goal, while Mourinho It was looking at Ferguson.

Lord Red Devil didn't look at him this time, but sat there, looking extremely relaxed.

Clemens didn't think much, walked to the goal and ushered in Manchester United's second penalty shooter.

Dutchman, Robin van Persie.

General Fan held the ball in his arms and wiped it as well, with a calm expression on his face. He didn't seem to be affected by Rooney's missed penalty. Instead, he looked at Clemens with a leisurely look, put his hands on his hips, and pointed to his right.

The Dutchman still had the same expression. Although the club was different, he was very gentle with Clemens from the beginning to the end, and the smile on that face looked even more handsome.

"I will kick this way." Van Persie looked sincere.

Clemens was helpless.

I said... Is it your Manchester United tradition to give a spoiler before kicking a penalty?
