princely elegance

Chapter 270 Top of Europe
Seven to 10 minutes is a hurdle. Every player has reached a bottleneck in physical fitness at this time. If this breath is relieved, then it is nothing, but I am afraid that I will not be able to pass.Both sides have reached their limits at this time, and it depends on whose will is stronger.

Chelsea's style has always been head-to-head, knocking down opponents before they fall.It has to be said that there is basically no team in football that can match the willpower of this iron-blooded blue team.

Although La Liga teams can embroider flowers technically, they really can't compare with the Premier League teams in terms of willpower.But this Real Madrid team is not bad, especially after last season's thrilling reversal to win the championship.Capello, who ruled the army with an iron fist, helped Real Madrid regain their iron blood in one season.

Although the Real Madrid players are very tired now, especially after nearly half an hour of mad attack, they do not have an advantage in physical fitness.But under the leadership of Gago, all the players blasted out the last strength in their bodies to resist Chelsea's attack.

Both Diarra and Baptista are not inferior to Lampard and Ballack in terms of strength and physique. Although Gago looks slender, his muscle density exceeds that of ordinary people after practicing martial arts.Even if it is head-to-head with Ballack, it is not necessarily a disadvantage, but that is not in line with his style, and it can save more effort to defend why use such an unskilled method.

After Ashley Cole and Ivanovic came up, Lampard and Ballack returned to the center and began to attack the area guarded by Gago.

They didn't believe that the two of them couldn't break through Gago, who looked like he had no flesh, but the fact surprised them. With the help of Cannavaro who came up, and with the help of Diarra , Gago will defend the center of the watertight.

During several times of physical confrontation, the strength they were proud of in the past couldn't take advantage of Gago's body at all.Gago's precise interception made the ball conceded several times. If Carvalho and Terry were not behind, the team might have fallen behind again.

Time passed slowly at this time, and Chelsea's players finally became impatient.Lampard and Ballack began to constantly try long-range shots, and the two wingers and full-backs also kept passing the ball after they got the ball, relying on the monster Drogba to compete for high points.

However, after the cooperation of Pepe and Cannavaro, although Drogba was able to create opportunities, they were blocked one by one by San Cassie, who reacted quickly.

During the period, Ivanovic used his personal ability to break through Heinze's defense and push the far corner, but hit the post after bypassing Casey.Lampard's long-range shot also hit the lintel. No matter how strong Gago is, he is only one person, and it is impossible for the opponent to miss a shot.

At this time, Grant finally made a substitution again, replacing Malouda with Anelka, and Shevchenko has also started warming up on the sidelines.In the last ten minutes, even Grant knew he had to give it a go.

And Schuster once again made a targeted substitution, veteran Salgado came on and Ruud van Nistelrooy went off.

Although the king of the penalty area did not score a goal in this game, he contained Chelsea's defensive strength very well in the frontcourt. He also contributed a lot to Raul's first goal.The Dutchman missed more than a dozen games this season due to injuries, which resulted in him not being able to defend the league's top scorer. However, in the games he played, he still scored [-] league goals for the team and four Champions League goals. ball.

After the World Cup, many people believed that Ruud van Nistelrooy's peak period had passed, and it was not worthwhile for Real Madrid to spend 500 million euros to buy him.But the Dutchman scored a total of 56 goals for the team in the league, the Champions League and the King's Cup in Real Madrid's two seasons.This statistic that many forwards look up to proves that he is still the king of the small penalty area who scored goals like weeds.

When Van Nistelrooy was off the field, more than 2 Real Madrid fans stood up and cheered for him.Van Nistelrooy also smiled and applauded the kindness of the fans. When he sat on the bench, his eyes also contained expectations.

As the only goal machine in football history who has won the European Golden Boot four times and the top scorer in the Champions League three times, he has never been involved in the club's highest honor, the Big Ears Cup.

The pinnacle of my career was at Manchester United, but at that time Manchester United was at a low point in the past ten years. The golden generation of [-] was old, and the young people had not yet grown up. The only thing that Dream Theater fans can be proud of is the league's best Shooters are their Rude.

After finally waiting for Rooney and Ronaldo to grow up, Ferguson ruthlessly sold him to La Liga in order to let Ronaldo take the lead.

Originally thought that in Real Madrid, a depraved giant, he would never have a chance to get involved in the Big Ears Cup again, but who knew that the team brought their prince over from Argentina, instantly allowing the Blancos to complete their rebirth within two seasons, and he also Reached the Champions League final for the first time.

"Must win, Real Madrid!"

Van Nistelrooy, who was on the bench, tightly held his hands. Although he was already a seasoned veteran, he still felt nervous in the face of this first honor in his life.

His eyes were on Gago, who had just completed a beautiful steal on the field.

At this time, there are only the last 5 minutes left, and Real Madrid is still leading by one goal. As long as they maintain this score until the end, they will be the kings of Europe.

The ball passed by Gago accurately landed at the feet of Robben in the frontcourt. His staying power in the first half allowed him to still have the physical ability to keep his skills intact.

Ashley Cole, who quickly returned to the defense, snatched the ball from Robben's feet with an almost foul action. Seeing that the referee did not blow, he kicked the ball towards Real Madrid's half.

Now every minute of time is a luxury for Chelsea. The symbol of the Premier League team, the long pass has become their most used tactic at this time.Real Madrid now has all the players in the frontcourt except Robben, and even Raul retreated to the midfield and played the position of right midfielder.

Cole's pass was snatched by Ballack. Although Baptista has sufficient physical fitness, he was completely overwhelmed by the German national team captain in other aspects.

Ballack saw that Lampard had already passed Gago and began to move forward, and immediately passed the ball. Although Real Madrid's penalty area was full of people, they could only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor now.

And at the moment when he passed the ball, Gago stepped back two steps, and then jumped up to intercept the ball.

"What a precise judgment, and the sense of position is also top-notch. Even if this Argentine plays as a central defender, he has no problem."

Mourinho's eyes lit up when he saw Gago's defense.

But Lampard saw that Gago broke the ball in front of his eyes, and immediately turned back to grab it with red eyes.

But Gago tipped his toe when he came in front of him, the ball passed over Lampard's head, and then turned around and wiped it away deftly.

Glancing at the empty space in front of him, Gago unleashed what little energy he had left in his body, speeding up the counterattack with the ball.At this time, he was carrying the ball like Kaka, opening and closing.Not reconciled, Lampard chased after him, but Gago's acceleration in the short distance of 30 meters can be said to be the best in football. Although he had the ball, Lampard still failed to catch up.

Fortunately, after halftime, Gago's speed slowed down significantly, allowing Lampard to gradually follow up, and Essien also came from the front, and the two were going to double-team Gago.

On the other side, Ashley Cole quickly returned to the defense again, but Robben switched to the left, leaving him empty.Ivanovic's defense speed is not as fast as Cole's. At this time, as long as Gago distributes the ball, Robben has a great chance.

Now there are only two people behind Terry and Carvalho, and there is Robben in Real Madrid, and Raul also started to step in. Gago, who is still dribbling the ball, has attracted everyone's attention at this time. For this genius, every fan loves it Have enough expectations.

And Gago didn't let them down either, he looked up at the left side, and made a pointing action with his right foot.The moment Essien was induced to lean to the left, he kicked the ball back and broke forward again.

"It's too rash!"

This is what everyone thinks. After all, Essien has not completely lost his position. Although the ball passed him, it is very likely that people will be blocked by him, and then Lampard who followed will have a chance.

Sure enough, Gago's left shoulder collided with Essien's right shoulder during the acceleration process, and both of them stagnated for a moment, but in an instant, Gago violated the limit of the human body and broke out at the speed again.

And Lampard, who came up behind, collided with Essien because of insufficient braking, and both of them lost the qualification to intercept Gago.

The moment Lampard fell to the ground, he saw Ballack running past him and chasing after Gago. Until now, the Chelsea players have not given up.

"Real Madrid's opportunity, Gago broke through Essien, three-for-two in the frontcourt, what will Gago do?"

Amidst the high voice of the commentator, Terry came up first, while Carvalho used to defend Robben who was closest to the goal, and Ashley Cole ran towards Raul.

"Just delay him for a while!"

When Terry went up to grab this idea, Ballack and Ivanovic had already come back to defend, as long as they could stop Gago for an instant, Chelsea's defense would be complete again.

But at this time, Gago started to cut outside during the run and ran to the left.

"Do you want to cooperate with Robben?"

This was Terry's idea, because Robben also cut in at this time, approaching Gago.Terry followed with confidence, because with his tacit understanding with Carvalho, Gago and Robben might not be able to score.

But just as he accelerated to follow Gago, a smile appeared on the corner of Gago's mouth, and then he saw Gago's left foot buckle the ball, and his whole body stopped quickly.

"It's this move again. Just now, Gago used this move to dodge Ashley Cole and gain the angle of the shot."

This time it was different, Gago did not shoot after dodging the gap, but dribbled the ball again. After Terry was dodged by him, there was no defensive player in front of him, only Cech.

"Gago, single-handed!"

All the fans stood up without commanding, and even Mourinho couldn't help but want to pull away the fans who blocked his sight.

Amidst the narrator's roar, Cech attacked, and in this case he couldn't do without attacking.

Gago saw Petr Cech attacking, and under the staring eyes of all the fans, he made another legendary iconic move.

Take a step forward with your left foot, shift your center of gravity slightly to the left, and the ball is still rolling in front of Gago; then you also take a step forward with your right foot, each step does not exceed the ball, but the ball is always under his control Next; Seeing Cech, who was already a little unstable, Gago did it again with his left foot, and finally, Cech fell to the ground.

"Pendulum-like extraordinary!"

In the desperate eyes of all Chelsea fans, Gago passed their last guard, and with a light push with his left foot, he hit the ball towards the empty goal.

Ballack, who came running from the backcourt, just returned to the goal, and tried to shovel the ball on the ground, but the ball crossed the goal line in front of his eyes and rolled into the net.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"In a sense, Gago scored twice in the last minute of the game, dribbled through three men from his own half, and finally shook Petr Cech with a Ronaldo's iconic pendulum dribble. , hit an empty goal. Ballack finally slowed down a step and watched the ball go into the net behind him!"

"Real Madrid won, they will get their tenth Champions League trophy and become the first team in history to win more than single digits in this competition."

"The number one club in the world, at this moment, deserves its name!"

"Let us also congratulate Gago, with his performance this year, it is enough for him to get the highest honor for a player in this year's selection."

This goal also wiped out Chelsea's last hope. Even with 5 minutes of stoppage time, they couldn't believe that they could reverse it.Schuster killed dozens of seconds with the last substitution, and Guti replaced captain Raul.

After Michel blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gago kicked the ball at his feet into the sky.

"We won, we are champions!"

His yelling ushered in the cheers of Real Madrid's teammates, and the players on the bench also rushed up in an instant, cheering with the players on the field. After six years, they once again stood on the top of Europe .

Guti, who has always been portrayed as a bad boy by the media, cried happily at this moment.

Gago, who scored two goals, was lifted up by Real Madrid's players and threw him into the sky amidst his exclamation.

Ballack stood in the midfield, watching the cheering Real Madrid players, feeling very bitter in his heart.

Another runner-up, how can he always get the runner-up, this is Chelsea's fourth runner-up this year, the Community Shield Cup, League Cup, Premier League, and Champions League.

"If I hadn't come to Chelsea, wouldn't the title not belong to Real Madrid?"

Ballack's assumption would never hold true because Real Madrid won.

Once again they are at the top of the club!

Ps: I finally finished writing. This game is the slowest to write, but fortunately, it is still finished.
