Junior football dream

Chapter 102 Savior

In March, in addition to four games in the Spanish First Division, Zhou Xing will also participate in the top [-] final against Arsenal.In order to allow him to play a good state, in the game against Real Betis, Zhou Xing was not sent by Carlo.But even so, Real Madrid took a [-]-[-] lead in the first half under the good performance of Ronaldo and others.

It's a pity that the situation changed suddenly in the second half. Betis scored two goals in a row at the last moment of the second half. Xianyu turned around, drew with a strong opponent, and scored a point.After this game, Barcelona, ​​who were tight behind Real Madrid, also took the opportunity to narrow the gap between the two teams.

The tight score between the two teams makes people look forward to the second national derby in April.Many commentators assert that that key game will determine the La Liga title this season.

What Carlo is worried about now is not the domestic league issue, after all, they are still leading the way.Except for Barcelona, ​​it is difficult for any team to keep up with their pace.

The Champions League, this is the highest honor that all European clubs dream of.If you can get this trophy, everything else will be nothing.

In the meantime, he is more worried about the second leg against the Gunners at Highbury.In the away game, it is still hard to say whether they can win the opponent.He was very concerned about the second round of the Champions League round of sixteen on the British peninsula.

However, the hearts of his team members are very relaxed.The battle is imminent, but the faces of Ronaldo and other players are still full of smiles, without a trace of tension.On the private plane, hearty laughter came from time to time.

"As long as Zhou Xing is there, I have full confidence in this game." Facing reporters, Ronaldo said so.Yes, as long as there is Zhou Xing, there is nothing to be afraid of.Everyone in today's Real Madrid team has already reached such a consensus.I don't know when, Zhou Xing has become an indispensable spiritual core of the Real Madrid team.

"I heard that London is the capital of fog and has a long history. I have long wanted to go." Thinking of the ancient and distant old-fashioned streets and street lights, as well as the double-decker buses he had seen on TV, Zhou Xing's face was filled with A look of longing.

"It's a pity that I'm not interested in that. The beauties there are not enthusiastic at all." On the streets of London, both men and women have a conservative and rigid expression, which shows that this is a city of etiquette.Thinking of those old-fashioned and British old maids, Ronaldo felt disgusted.

Listening to Ronaldo talking about people in his own country, as a British, Beckham hastily retorted: "Who said, how could there be no beautiful women in Britain? Zhou Xing, don't listen to what he said. When the time comes, I will ask Victoria to introduce you A British hottie, you're welcome."

"Why didn't you introduce it to me?" Ronaldo said angrily when he heard this.

"Who doesn't know that you are a big carrot. Who dares to introduce you to a girlfriend? To introduce to you, isn't it pushing some woman into the fire pit? Our little brother Zhou Xinghao, an innocent boy, is the most attractive to those mature beauties. I like it." Ignoring Ronaldo's complaints, Beckham joked to Zhou Xing.

Hearing the jokes of these two people, Zhou Xing showed a hint of sadness on his face, and the smile on his face became a little bit bitter.The relationship between him and Qin Lu has been dragging on during this period of time, and it is so undead, which makes him distressed.

What annoys people the most, after much deliberation, is emotion. "Ask what love is in the world, and it's a promise of life and death." Thinking of this Chinese poem, Zhou Xing's heart suddenly trembled.Is love really so desirable?Why didn't he feel it?

Exhaling the suffocation in his heart, Zhou Xing cast his gaze out of the window.Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and strands of golden sunlight sprinkled on his body, making him feel a sense of comfort.All the troubles and sorrows of youth disappeared from his heart like a gust of wind.

Why do you have to think about so many things when you are alive?

Next, he participated in the chat activities among his teammates.Compared with emotional issues, the immediate game against Arsenal is more important.When he was young, he was still unwilling to spend so much brains on relationship issues.

Next, the scenery of London, what shopping places and things became the subject of chatting.In the eyes of everyone in Real Madrid, apart from the game, this trip to the UK is more importantly a chance to visit the British Peninsula for free.

Seeing the relaxed mood of the players, Carlo felt a little relieved, knowing that these players were not affected by the huge pressure of the game.In many cases, the pressure makes some players not play at half their usual level in the game.

But he was also a little bit worried, he just kept it in his heart and didn't say it out. "Are those Arsenal players really that vulnerable?"

※※※

"London is full of smoke, and the battle of life and death is about to start tonight." Before the game, a London newspaper exaggerated this. The tickets for this game were sold out as early as two weeks ago, which has long shown that the audience loves this game The degree of attention to a game is far greater than that of ordinary games.

Not only Arsenal fans, but also fans of other British teams came to Highbury Stadium to cheer for the home team Arsenal.No matter which team they liked before, but now they are standing closely behind Arsenal.

After Manchester United was eliminated, British fans put their hopes on Arsenal and Liverpool, hoping that they can create another miracle.The proud British will not allow the high heads of the British to be lowered in front of the Spanish team.Some people may ask, what about Chelsea?
Nouveau riche, ruble-heaped players, motley crew overseas.The British, who have always been stubborn, have not even been able to put it in the ranks of their own national team.

The Highbury Stadium, which can accommodate [-] people, was packed, and the fans turned it into a sea of ​​yellow before the team entered the field.Many Arsenal fans came to the scene wearing yellow jerseys.In the corner of the stands, only a few Real Madrid fans were waving banners and shouting.

In terms of momentum, Real Madrid lost a bit from the beginning.Seeing this, the Chinese commentator who was in charge of broadcasting the game tightened his face, and said worriedly: "It seems that this game is not easy to play."

He was only half right. This game was not just described as good or bad.If I were to use one word, it would be daunting.Seeing this, the expression on the face of the Real Madrid superstar who had just appeared became serious.The relaxed smile on the plane has long since disappeared without a trace.

As the Arsenal players walked out of the tunnel, the loud noise from the stands nearly knocked the ceiling of Highbury down.That huge decibel makes people suspect that there are only less than [-] fans sitting here.

Whenever the commentator said the name of an Arsenal player, there was a huge applause from the stands.When the host read the soul of Highbury, the flag here-Henry, there was a minute-long applause from the stands.The captain of the Arsenal team has dedicated countless wonderful performances on this venue, which is indeed admirable.

When the commentator read about the Real Madrid players, the sparse applause in the stands showed that they did not have a good impression of these friends who came from afar, and even had a strong hostility.When the name of David Beckham was pronounced, there was a burst of harsh boos from the fans who have always paid attention to etiquette.

"What's the matter, why do they hate you so much?" Seeing Beckham's uneasy expression, Zhou Xing asked suspiciously.

"Don't mention it, when I was at Manchester United, I had too many problems with Arsenal." Hearing Zhou Xing's question, Beckham replied helplessly.Whether it was the championship fight that year or the last incident of Ferguson Ferguson's flying boots, it is closely related to the Arsenal team.If it hadn't been for Manchester United losing the game against Arsenal, which caused Ferguson to kick the unlucky Beckham with a shoe in the dressing room, it is still a mystery whether the story of this handsome guy leaving Spain can continue.

Staring at the ground in the arena, Beckham didn't speak, but stepped on the turf fiercely, venting his anger. "Wait, I'm coming for revenge."

Before the referee let the captains of the two teams guess first, Arsenal also made a brief farewell ceremony before the game.After next year, Arsenal's new stadium will be put into use. Highbury, a legendary stadium that has been used for decades, is about to bid farewell to the stage of history.

Seeing this, countless Arsenal fans were moved to tears.This venue once gave them countless joys and dreams.However, less than [-] stadium seats have far restricted the development of Arsenal, and also made the club with financial crisis make up its mind to build a new stadium.

After guessing first, it was decided that Arsenal would kick off first.With the whistle from the referee from Germany, the second round of the round of [-] finals officially began.

※※※

"Two to zero!" This is not the score of the game, but a sign held up by an Arsenal fan.If this score can be achieved, Arsenal will advance to the quarter-finals by virtue of their away goal difference.This goal also made these Arsenal players go crazy at Highbury.

Whether it is Ronaldo or Zhou Xing, there are always Arsenal defenders around him at all times.Not only that, Arsenal's fierce steals in the midfield made Real Madrid's expensive midfielder lose its previous brilliance and creativity.Without backcourt support, Zhou Xing and Ronaldo can only be exhausted.

Before the game, Beckham, who was preparing for revenge, also gave up his original plan in the face of several fierce presses.He didn't want him to live on a stretcher after this game.Besides, there is still the World Cup to be held in 2006.Considering various factors, he also dodged a little bit. The long pass that was originally accurate in the past rarely appeared in this game.

All the soldiers of the Arsenal team, who knew him well, had long been on strict guard against him, preventing him from having a chance to perform. "Whoever is allowed to perform will not allow Beckham to get the ball." Amid the boos of the fans and the fierce defense of the Arsenal team, Beckham's performance became unsatisfactory.

In addition to him, Zidane, Robinho, Baptista, etc. are equally helpless.In the face of Arsenal's tide of offense, everything became hollow.

"It seems that there is a big question mark as to whether Real Madrid can get away with it." Journalists and media from various countries have long expected that this game must be very difficult.

When the camera turned to the face of Real Madrid coach Carlo, the anxiety and worry on his face could be clearly seen.The tightly tangled eyebrows and clenched fists were completely different from his performance in the first round.On the other side, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger had a faint smile on his face.

On the scene, the Arsenal team playing at home firmly took the initiative on the field.After a few shots, Casillas, known as Real Madrid's goalkeeper, was also out of breath and sweaty on his forehead.

"If this continues, Real Madrid's goal will definitely be broken by us." Seeing the situation on the field, Wenger decisively changed the original four-four-two formation to four-three-three, relying on two sides, facing Real Madrid's goal Launched round after round of attacks.Henry and Reyes, together with Bergkamp, ​​made Real Madrid's defenders a headache.

In the opening No. 308 minutes, the Arsenal team, which had been onslaught, finally scored their team's first goal of the game.On the wing, Reyes made a cross from the bottom and distributed the ball to Bergkamp in the middle.Without hesitation, the Dutch veteran headed the ball lightly, causing the ball to fall to Henry on the other side of the penalty area.

The ball flicked lightly on the grass, about the height of Henry's knees.Seeing the football at his feet and Ramos behind him defending him, Henry shrewdly volleyed to the ground, allowing all the actions to be completed in an instant and in one go.The European Ballon d'Or winner is always astute and intelligent when it comes to football.

The football drew a half circle on the turf, bypassed Casillas' outstretched palm, hit the inside of the far post of the goal, and bounced into the net.

"GOOOOOOOAL!"

In the first half, Arsenal led Real Madrid [-]-[-] thanks to Henry's goal.In the total score of the two rounds, the Arsenal team also pulled the score back to two to three.

"One more, one more!" Seeing the home team's goal, all the Arsenal fans stood up, applauded loudly, and cheered for their team.

The highly motivated Arsenal team launched another round of attacks against Real Madrid's goal, trying to continue to expand the score.The crazy one-sided situation on the scene makes people wonder if this is still a close game.

"It's crazy, it's crazy." Carlo murmured on the sidelines.No one could have predicted such a game situation before the game.How many times can a team that wins [-]-[-] at home fail to organize effective offenses in away games?

In the end, it was the referee who saved the Real Madrid players.The referee blew the half-time whistle when another Arsenal shot hit the crossbar in the first half.

Hearing the whistle, the faces of the Real Madrid players who had been suffering for half the time were relieved, showing an expression of escape from death.Indeed, if they are beaten like this, Real Madrid's goal will definitely be broken again.

Had it not been for Highbury's goalpost help, Arsenal would have led [-]-[-] in the first half.The shooting ratio of ten to one clearly reflected the form on the field.This shot was still the result of Zhou Xing stealing at the front of the penalty area and kicking hastily.Otherwise, Real Madrid's shots in the first half might have been embarrassingly zero.

"No matter what, I hope you can change in the second half." In the locker room, Carlo roared.

※※※

Before the start of the second half, Carlo made new adjustments to the lineup.On the whole, he began to focus on defense, paying attention to steals in the midfield, hoping to change the situation of weak offense and difficult defense in the first half.

As for Arsenal, no personnel adjustments have been made. It can be seen that Wenger is very satisfied with Arsenal's performance in the first half.The bursts of cheers from the fans on the sidelines clearly verified this point.His only regret now is that the team did not get more goals.

Changing places to fight again, Real Madrid reversed the decline in the first half, gradually regained their initiative on the field, and began to try to organize rounds of attacks.As for Arsenal, it seemed that they consumed too much passion in the first half of the game. On the scene, their performance was not as eye-catching as the first half.

After trying a few times, Real Madrid's players showed a smile on their faces. "It seems that the opponent is only three tricks. Now, it depends on the performance of our Real Madrid."

When seeing the opponent's poor performance, Real Madrid players have forgotten Carlo's defensive policy.In terms of formation, Real Madrid began to try to press forward and began to attack.

Seeing this situation, a smile appeared on the face of Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger on the sidelines.For the first time, a smile appeared on that long, thin face.With gray hair and wearing a formal suit, he certainly knows the situation on the field well.The situation on the court was exactly what he wanted.

Arsenal is a team that likes to play fast counterattacks.In the storm in the first half, they had consumed most of their energy and it was impossible to maintain it.In this case, they might as well let Real Madrid attack more and defend hard by themselves.In this case, the opponent's gap will definitely be created.

Tactically, the Arsenal coach is obviously much more experienced than the Real Madrid coach who has been serving as his deputy.Unfortunately, many people who don't know why outside the field thought that Real Madrid had begun to gain the upper hand.

At this time, Arsenal's formation has become a five-three-two formation, with a firm defense, preventing Real Madrid from having too many offensive opportunities.Zhou Xing and Ronaldo occasionally had a few chances, but they were also resolved one by one by the Arsenal goalkeeper.At this time, the scene seemed to be Real Madrid playing against Arsenal again.

"Could it be that Real Madrid has started to show off again?" The Arsenal fans who were cheering on the sidelines did not understand their coach's thoughts, and they were anxiously cheering for their team in the stands.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!" Another shout sent the Arsenal fans to a happy paradise.When Real Madrid were pressing across the board, a bad pass cost them their lives.The Arsenal defenders tackled the ball cleanly at the back, before launching into their favorite defensive counter-attack.

In the frontcourt, the three of the Arsenal team are doing skillful small-scale cooperation.Finally, with Henry's easy pass and dunk, Carlos was shaken away and the football was sent to Reyes' feet.

Facing his teammates in the national team, Reyes easily pushed through the gate guarded by Iker Casillas and scored the second goal of the game.

This ball also made Arsenal draw with Real Madrid on the total score.If this score can be maintained, the Gunners will advance.Seeing this, all the Arsenal fans at the scene cheered, and the scene became a sea of ​​joy.

"Unlucky!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xing stepped on the turf fiercely and said angrily.The game has been going on for seven to 10 minutes. Next, Real Madrid wants to break through the opponent's gate, which seems to be even more difficult.

Seeing this situation, Arsene Wenger, the head coach of Arsenal on the sidelines, immediately replaced the Dutch veteran Bergkamp who was exhausted, and added a defender to strengthen the defense. "As long as we keep two to zero, we can advance." Now, the smile on the Frenchman's face began to slowly spread on his face.

1 minute, 2 minutes.Although Real Madrid attacked like crazy in the end, the opponent's goal was still unbreakable, which made Jean frustrated.

"What to do, what to do, what to do." Although Real Madrid coach Carlo kept asking himself on the sidelines, there was still nothing he could do.

In the end, he replaced Zidane, who was physically weak, and replaced him with a striker, Guti, hoping to put all his eggs in one basket.However, the chance that Zhou Xing and Ronaldo finally created was kicked away by the Real Madrid captain, losing the best chance to expand the score.

Nine 10-minute games ended quickly, and the fourth official raised the sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time.Now, there are only 3 minutes left.Zhou Xing, can you still create miracles?

For some reason, the name Zhou Xing first came to mind for the audience sitting in front of the TV.I don't know when it started. When the team was in trouble, they always thought of the black-haired Chinese boy habitually.

One pass, two passes, and with several passes from Real Madrid, tens of seconds passed.All the Arsenal fans in the stands stood up, looking at the stadium, looking forward to the end of the game, so that they could celebrate the team's final victory.

"Now it's Zhou Xing who is dribbling the ball, and he evaded someone. Oh, he dribbled another person." On the TV screen, it was Zhou Xing who took the ball.Several beautiful turns and extraordinary, let him pass two defenders defending him.Now, he is caught in the double-team of two defenders.

"Pass the ball, or break through by yourself." Zhou Xing glanced behind him, and on the other side of the penalty area was Ronaldo.However, his direction from the goal is not very good.Otherwise, just break through by yourself, get out of the way of two defenders, and then face the goalkeeper directly.

"How to choose?" This is obviously a difficult problem.The question circled his mind for a few seconds, just for a brief moment.But this moment, to Zhou Xing, seemed to be as long as decades.

Zhou Xing tapped the football lightly, swung his calf, and kicked it towards Ronaldo. "It seems to be a pass, don't worry about it." Seeing the direction Zhou Xing swung his legs, the Arsenal defenders Campbell and Xigan who were defending Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fake action." Zhou Xing didn't kick the football with his calf, but kicked it falsely. Then, he flicked his heel lightly, and lifted the football in front of him with almost magical movements.Then, he accelerated and dodged the two Arsenal defenders who were defending him.

"Huh, finally facing the goal." Zhou Xing was so close to the goal for the first time in this game, so close that he could clearly see the nervous expression on the face of the Arsenal goalkeeper.

Calming down his emotions, Zhou Xing gently pushed with the arch of his foot and watched the football roll into the net.

At the last moment, he once again played the role of the savior.With his goal, Real Madrid eliminated their opponents with a total score of [-] to [-] and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
