our champion dream

Chapter 167 Dilemma
When Milito stabbed this kick, it wasn't the kind of action to move forward casually in order to avoid Vidic.If he wants to make a penalty, he can do it, after poking the ball he will definitely not catch up, then he can drag his leg behind, hang on Vidic's calf, and yell He fell to the ground with a bang... In doing so, the penalty kick is almost guaranteed.

This is the surest way to score goals.

But Milito didn't do that. He didn't seem to think about creating a penalty at all. He just gently pushed the football forward, not far from him, and just enough to avoid Vidic's tackle.

Then he stepped over Vidic's shoveled leg, and caught up with the football in one stride!
He has already faced van der Sar's attack alone, this is a single-handedly!This is Inter Milan's chance.

Everyone's breath was held as they watched what happened near the penalty spot inside the United penalty area.

Van der Sar struck out in time again. He has played the role of Manchester United's savior countless times in this game, and this time, all the hopes of Manchester United fans can only be pinned on him!

He blocks in the close corner, and if Milito wants to shoot, he can block the angle to the maximum extent.And if he didn't shoot the goal immediately, as long as he hesitated a little, he could force Milito to dribble to the bottom line, compressing the space for him to shoot and dribble, and minimize his threat.

Milito, who was catching up with the football, did take a slight step forward diagonally. It seems that Van der Sar's defensive strategy was successful.

But at this moment, Milito suddenly kicked!
His left foot kicked the ball in the opposite direction!
The swing of the kick was not large, there was almost no warning, it was very sudden, so the force of the kick was not very strong.Logically speaking, this was a failed shot. How could such a weak shot pose a threat?

But Milito's kick is very good. The good thing is that the direction of his shot is the opposite direction of his own running position, and it is also the opposite direction of Van der Sar's key defense.

The football rolled against the turf from Van der Sar's side to his back, because suddenly, Van der Sar couldn't make any reaction at all, he could only struggle for a while with his legs dragging behind, but it was only a symbol I struggled sexually, and it was actually impossible to touch the football at all.Infect the lines the football runs on.

The football is not fast, over Van der Sar and rolling towards the goal behind him.

Due to inertia, Van der Sar's whole body was in a state of "stiffness" at this time. If he wanted to turn around and pounce again, his brain was fine, but his body did not obey the command.

So in a slightly weird scene, the football slowly but firmly rolled into Manchester United's goal...

~~~~~~~~~~
"Lore! From Diego Milito's lore! Milito!" The Italian commentator jumped up from the commentary stand and shouted. "This ball is really beautiful!! The shot is as light as weightlifting. Although it is not powerful, the effect is surprisingly good! Ahhhhh! Diego Milito! He has completed self-salvation!! At 115 minutes of the game, he Regained the lead for Inter Milan! This is a fatal blow for Manchester United!"

After the goal, Milito was very excited. He opened his arms, accelerated to the sideline, then slid and knelt, and then stood up while taking advantage of the inertia. Just in front of the sideline, he waved his fist at the Inter Milan fans in the stands.

Other teammates also ran up to celebrate the goal with Milito.

In the entire Bernabéu stadium, all the black Inter Milan fans cheered and applauded.

Although there are still 15 minutes left in the game, all Inter Milan fans want to take a reassurance, feeling that the victory of this game is stable, very stable.

Manchester United was hit by this, and their morale was seriously low. How could it be possible to fight against the high-morale Inter Milan?
What awaits them next is a big crash!

The Manchester United fans in the stands covered their heads with their hands or covered their faces, looking very frustrated and painful.

Conceding a goal in overtime can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back...

He Ping in the commentary felt a great sense of loss, but he still had to keep up his spirits and continue to explain: "At the end of the first half of overtime, Manchester United was scored by Inter Milan, Milito... this one was scored by Mourinho. The dusty pearl of Argentina dug out by Ou, has experienced a fantastic fourth level under Mourinho... This is a solo ride that integrates speed and wisdom, and passed Vidic with speed and agility , when facing Van der Sar, he chose a clever shot very smartly, instead of rounding and retreating a strong volley-in that case, this shot is likely to make Van der Sar again. Sa's world-class saves..."

During the explanation, He Ping wanted to sigh.

Milito performed perfectly in this attack, but it also means that Li Xiaoming is getting farther and farther away from his Champions League goal.

As a Chinese commentator, I certainly don't want to see my compatriots return with regrets.

~~~~~~~~~~
While the Inter Milan players celebrated the goal wildly, the Manchester United players were stunned.

None of them have ever done that when Manchester United took the lead in regular time.At that time, they thought to themselves that I have never seen such a big storm, and what is it to be a mere one goal behind?
Sure enough, after 6 minutes, Berbatov helped Manchester United equalize the score, which proved that Manchester United was not at a disadvantage when facing Inter Milan.

But conceding the ball now has a different meaning.

This is an overtime game, and the team conceded the ball after 1105 minutes of fighting. Everyone's physical fitness is running low. We lost the ball in regular time, and we got it back quickly. Can we get it back this time?

Many people feel that there is little hope.

Because they don't have such ample physical strength anymore.

Why was Inter Milan overwhelmed in the first half of overtime because of physical problems.

After a season of high-intensity fighting, by the time of the last game, my physical fitness has reached its limit, especially in the Premier League where games are very frequent and there is no winter break.Now the players are completely relying on willpower to support themselves. If they want to fall, they can really do it at any time.

Originally, he wanted to survive the first half of the extra time, and continue to entangle with Inter Milan in the second half. As a result, Li Xiaoming's goal made many people lose the victory. Xi Li Xiaoming put his hands on his knees, bent over, The mouth is open, gasping for breath, like a fish lacking water in the desert.

Her hair was sticking wetly to her scalp as if it had just been washed, and the sweat was like a majestic rain, dripping down her cheeks and dripping down her chin.The jersey on his body was already soaked, and it was tightly attached to his body.At this time, he couldn't care less about being disappointed and sad about losing the ball, he just wanted to let himself take a few more breaths of oxygen.

He has experienced such a situation when the game went to overtime, but he has never experienced such a high-intensity game.

But this is not something that Li Xiaoming needs to be concerned about. Compared with it, it is more important to recover some physical fitness.

If you have physical strength and can run, you can make a difference. If you have no physical strength, no matter how many ideas you have in your head, it will be nothing more than talking on paper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outsiders don't know what Li Xiaoming is thinking, but seeing Li Xiaoming's embarrassed appearance, they think that Li Xiaoming is about to lose his strength.

As the core of Manchester United's frontcourt, if he can't support it, it will definitely not be good news for Manchester United...

The fans of Manchester United were worried and kept praying to God. At this critical moment, when a goal is needed, Li Xiaoming must not fall down...

In fact, Li Xiaoming's physical performance this season has far exceeded their expectations.

In the past, Li Xiaoming gave them the impression that his physical strength was weak, and it was considered extraordinary performance if he could persist in playing the game for 10 minutes.There has always been a point of view that physical fitness is the only bottleneck that restricts Li Xiaoming's progress.Physical resistance is neither, but physical fitness.

In terms of physical confrontation ability, Harvey and Pirlo are not outstanding, but I have never heard that the two of them are not in good physical condition.

Modern football attaches great importance to physical fitness. Without physical fitness, don't talk about anything.

But in the second half of this season, Li Xiaoming's physical fitness has improved by leaps and bounds, which is surprising, but also gratifying-Li Xiaoming finally broke through the damn bottleneck.

This season, in the second half of the season, Li Xiaoming participated in most of the Premier League games. Although he did not miss any of the remaining league matches, in order to protect Li Xiaoming, Ferguson still gave Li Xiaoming more rest time. , maybe even Li Xiaoming can't make it now.

But Li Xiaoming never let Ferguson down, he never dropped the chain in the game.

So in most games this season, Li Xiaoming contributed a high-level performance under a high-intensity confrontation rhythm. It has been a long time since everyone has seen Li Xiaoming like today.

But playing to the last game of a season, and such a fast-paced and high-intensity Champions League final, requires more physical fitness of the players.

Originally, after a season of consumption of physical fitness, there is not much left in reserves, and it is normal for Li Xiaoming to be in such a mess after 1105 minutes in such a game.

Although it is a very normal thing, it still makes Manchester United fans worry.

It's not that they don't understand the difficulties of the players, but at this last moment, they also hope that the players will take care of them no matter how difficult they are.We have spent so much effort, paid such a high price, and finally made it to the last step. If you want to say give up, no matter how good the reason for giving up is, it still makes people feel unwilling...

~~~
Li Xiaoming's situation was not only noticed by the fans, but also seen by the commentators.

This seems to further confirm their idea that Manchester United is likely to collapse.

"Li Xiaoming looked tired...it's normal. He ran for 1105 minutes non-stop in this game. With his physical fitness, this is already a super level performance...this is his first four. "He Ping said, with worry and helplessness in his tone.

He didn't express his worries, for fear of breaking the mood of the Chinese audience in front of the TV.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by him, those Chinese fans in front of the TV are not fools or blind, they can see and guess.

There were many worried voices on the Internet.

"Li Xiaoming doesn't seem to be able to run anymore, Klopp won't replace him?"

"Damn! If Li Xiaoming is really replaced, I'll turn off the TV!"

"I'm afraid Li Xiaoming doesn't even have the strength to pass the ball long. What can he do if he stays on the court..."

"Li Xiaoming's way of playing football that relies on possession of the ball is very dependent on physical fitness. His performance this season has been good enough. Fortunately, he is still young. Even if he fails this year, there will always be a comeback... I can only comfort myself like this It's..."

"What you said upstairs is correct, but when it comes time to make a comeback, who knows what year it will be? You must know that Manchester United now has many veterans, and their strength is also declining on the surface.
Everyone is feeling a little sad for Manchester United and Li Xiaoming.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Li Xiaoming would never know what those fans and commentators thought of him.

He still maintained the posture just now, breathing heavily, even a little greedily.

He didn't urge the referee, reminding him that Inter Milan's celebration time was obviously too much.He also did not comfort his teammates, did not give them encouragement.

All he can do now is to hurry up and restore everything in the world.

With 15 minutes left in the game, Manchester United has not yet reached the end of the rope. In 15 minutes, scoring a goal is still possible.

The Inter Milan players finally ended their celebration. They happily ran back to their own half, and some of them kept waving their fists to the stands, which was not only responding to their own fans, but also a kind of provocative bragging to the Manchester United fans. .

When they ran back to their own half, Li Xiaoming was still breathing heavily.

It wasn't until they stood up and both Berbatov and Rooney were in the center circle ready to kick off that Li Xiaoming got up and walked slowly towards the center circle.

His move also attracted the attention of Inter Milan's players.

Seeing Li Xiaoming like this, the Inter Milan players heaved a sigh of relief - Li Xiaoming is obviously on the verge of dying, and Manchester United hasn't collapsed yet, but he is about to collapse first.And once he collapses, it is the beginning of Manchester United's collapse.If Li Xiaoming is off the field, Inter Milan's offense will obviously be greatly reduced, so it will be much easier to deal with their offense in the second half.

In this game, Inter Milan thinks they have the chance to win!

The referee whistled, Rooney and Berbatov sent the football out, Rooney turned around and passed the football back to Li Xiaoming outside the center circle.

But Li Xiaoming didn't do anything, he didn't catch the ball, but let the football roll past his feet without even looking at it.

The football didn't roll fast, and Li Xiaoming's failure to catch it wasn't because the ball was too fast for him to catch.

Immediately afterwards, the referee's whistle blew again—the first half of overtime was over!
