our champion dream

Chapter 170 Lore
It is not difficult to see from Ferguson on the scene that Li Xiaoming is the one with the worst physical condition among all Manchester United players on the field. In many cases, he cannot function normally.Manchester United's current situation is equivalent to ten against eleven.It's just because Manchester United is playing against Inter Milan now, so the disadvantage of numbers has not been reflected.

If he is replaced, no matter who is replaced, at least his physical fitness can be guaranteed, and at least he will no longer be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But if Li Xiaoming is really replaced, it seems that there is nothing to look forward to, and he can only focus on the penalty shootout.It's not that Ferguson doesn't trust these players, but because of his historical experience and Ferguson's investigation of Li Xiaoming, leaving Li Xiaoming on the court can always bring him some surprises.

Because of this, Ferguson temporarily suppressed the urge to make substitutions.

At this time, Manchester United managed to equalize the score, and when morale was soaring, the head coach himself voluntarily gave up all possibilities, leaving only the preparation for a penalty kick.He felt it was a waste of morale...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Ferguson was still hesitating, Manchester United was still besieging Inter Milan's goal.

Li Xiaoming will occasionally pass the ball outside the penalty area, but he will also run into the penalty area to look for opportunities. He will not stick to a certain position. Although he can't run anymore, it doesn't mean he is standing like a scarecrow He can't move, even if he paces, he is constantly changing his position.

This time, he moved to the edge of the penalty area, and the football was passed horizontally outside the penalty area. Li Xiaoming did not raise his hand to ask for the ball. He knew that even if he wanted the ball, it would be useless if the ball was passed. Possibly conceded.

So he just watched his teammates stumble outside, looking for opportunities.

Li Xiaoming is also looking for opportunities through experience.

But he didn't find any opportunities. After being equalized, Inter Milan decisively contracted across the board under Mourinho's instruction.This is intended to stay until the end of overtime and drag on to the penalty shootout.

In this way, they are naturally very concerned about defense, and they have built their own penalty area to be airtight.

Even Manchester United, there is no good way.

Facing Inter Milan's intensive defense in the backcourt, the Manchester United midfielder Carrick who took the ball decided to try a long shot.

However, his shot did not hit the goal. The football that was running forward against the turf had just rushed out, but it was blocked by Zanetti who fell on the ground and tackled it. Instead of flying towards the goal, it turned sideways and rolled. To... Li Xiaoming on the line of the restricted area!
At this time, Li Xiaoming's back was facing the attacking direction, and Cambiasso was defending him closely behind him.

Try not to let him turn around.

Li Xiaoming could feel the pressure from behind.

But he still desperately leaned back, resisting the pressure from Cambiasso's oppression.

Cambiasso didn't intend to do anything else, he didn't want to go around the front to defend and destroy the football in front of Li Xiaoming - in that case, he might be left behind by the cunning Li Xiaoming.

Since Li Xiaoming contributed such a wonderful offensive performance, Cambiasso had to guard against this possibility anyway.

Who knows what Li Xiaoming will do next time?

So he just pushed against Li Xiaoming, not allowing him to turn around easily. If he wanted to pass the football, he could do whatever he wanted, and Cambiasso couldn't control that much.

In the eyes of many people, as long as Li Xiaoming is not allowed to turn around, his threat to the goal will be greatly reduced.

With Li Xiaoming's physical ability, it is impossible to play Cambiasso with his back.

But just when everyone thought that Li Xiaoming could only pass the football out, Li Xiaoming made a move, which made Cambiasso very suspicious.

Originally, he and Li Xiaoming were in direct contact with each other. He pressed against Li Xiaoming's back, raised his hands and placed them beside him, and signaled to the referee that he did not move his hands. If Li Xiaoming fell, it would not be him who pushed him , but Li Xiaoming was acting.

From this physical contact, he can clearly feel the power from Li Xiaoming, he is desperately resisting the invasion of his own body, so that he can not lose in this physical contest.

Cambiasso took full advantage of Li Xiaoming's body. He bent over, condescending, against Li Xiaoming, not giving him a chance to turn around.

If Li Xiaoming wanted to fight him head-on, he was absolutely confident that he would win.

But at this moment, he felt Li Xiaoming's body slipping sideways under his pressure, as if he was about to deviate!
When Li Xiaoming turned his body to one side, he suddenly picked up the rolling football behind him with his left foot!
The football flew past Cambiasso's left shoulder!
At the same time, Li Xiaoming quickly turned around and passed by the Argentine's right.

Cambiasso really didn't expect that Li Xiaoming would turn around in this way. At first, he found that when Li Xiaoming turned around and wiped past him, he wanted to turn around and chase after him, but he suddenly found that the football was coming from his body. The other side flew by, so he changed his focus again, intending to tilt his head and push the football out.

But inertia made it difficult for him to quickly change his center of gravity. His body froze in place, unable to do anything about the flying football or the passing dawn.

It was as if Li Xiaoming cast a spell on him.

"Oh——Li Xiaoming! This is a beautiful breakthrough."

The commentator and the fans in the stands immediately cheered up.

The scene where Li Xiaoming lightly picked the football past Cambiasso with his ankle movements looked like a work of art, and it was mesmerizing to watch.

But what got them excited was what this turnaround meant.

It means that Li Xiaoming has changed from facing the goal with his back to the goal that can face Inter Milan head-on!
Li Xiaoming deftly circled behind Cambiasso, ready to catch the ball.

But at the same time, Lucio also arrived. He stood in front of Li Xiaoming and became a wall, but he didn't easily get out.Because he is very sensitive in the penalty area now, if he hits Li Xiaoming with his foot, and Li Xiaoming falls down very thinly, isn't that a penalty kick given to the opponent at the end of overtime?

So now in the restricted area, we must be very cautious and absolutely not reckless.

As long as he gets stuck, Li Xiaoming will be helpless.

Li Xiaoming rushed forward in three steps at a time, and Lucio had already rushed to the defensive position. The two were about to meet...if they didn't brake, they would collide.

The Brazilian raised his hands very experienced, indicating in advance that he did not make any hand movements, so as to prevent possible disputes in the future.

Next, it can be foreseen that the two people will definitely collide, because the distance is too close, it is not easy to brake urgently...

When Li Xiaoming was about to bump into Lucio, he twisted his waist and turned sideways, and then stretched out his left foot to reach the ball that he picked past Javi Martinez. At this time, he was almost turning his back to the attacking direction again. It is intended to use the body to block the space between Lucio and the ball, and to use the body to protect the ball.

In the eyes of many people, being able to regain control of the ball is considered very good for Li Xiaoming. As for the matter of turning his back to the attacking direction again...it is not so important. As long as he can control the football, he still has a chance .

But what everyone, including Lucio, didn't expect was that Li Xiaoming didn't want to regain control of the ball. With his back almost turned to Lucio, he hooked the football again with his right foot. Get up!

The kicked-up football flew directly over Lucio's head.

No matter what, Lucio never thought that Li Xiaoming would directly pick the football over his head. Considering his height of 1.8 meters, it is really rare for anyone to want to play on his head.On the contrary, there are more people walking down the third road, because they are tall and have a high center of gravity, so their feet are naturally not so flexible.

Therefore, he often pays more attention to the defense of the ball at his feet, and gets stuck in his own position. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoming did the opposite, and caught Boateng by surprise!Li Xiaoming, who picked the football past Lucio, turned around and wiped past Lucio.Lucio's raised hands made it impossible for him to use some small movements to interfere with Li Xiaoming's progress.

"Another wonderful dribble!" Many people in the commentary raised their buttocks from their seats and shouted in an incredible tone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a blink of an eye, Li Xiaoming had already turned around, and he raised his foot again behind Lucio.

This time, goalkeeper Cesar abandoned the goal and rushed to him.

He jumped high and raised his arms, obviously guarding against Li Xiaoming's third pick.

Li Xiaoming lifted his foot, and that was indeed an action to continue to pick the ball-if the pick is smooth, continuing to pick the ball is like inertia, and it is difficult to brake suddenly.

But Li Xiaoming stopped in a daze.

This time he switched to his right foot. When his right foot was lifted up to kick the football, it didn't exert force. Instead, when it touched the football, it sank along the direction of the football!And the football seemed to be stuck to his shoe, and it fell obediently, without any intention of popping it out!
Li Xiaoming didn't pick the ball once, but stopped the ball!

Instead of going up, the football went down.

No matter how high Cesar jumped this time, it was useless, but it was more convenient for Li Xiaoming!The whole goal is wide open.

It's a pity that now he is jumping in the air and can't do anything. He can only watch Li Xiaoming stop the football from the air in horror and despair.

After landing, the football did not break away from Li Xiaoming's control, and stuck to Li Xiaoming's feet obediently.

Li Xiaoming looked down at the football, but just after the football hit the ground, he subconsciously hooked the football with his right foot and flicked it to the left.

He had just moved the football away when Zanetti shoveled it over!
Zanetti was very surprised that he couldn't tackle the ball. After watching Li Xiaoming stop the ball, he kept his head down and never looked up. How could he know that he was coming quietly?
Could it be that he has eyes behind him?

Surprised Zanetti could only slide on the ground, watching Li Xiaoming leave him, helpless.

He was the last line of defense in front of Inter Milan. Even if he didn't stop Li Xiaoming, the situation would be terrible!
The only thing he can hope for is that Li Xiaoming's swipe of the ball is more powerful, the football is pushed far away, and the angle of the shot is lost...

He looked back, as if there was such a possibility!
Football is ahead of Li Xiaoming, and Li Xiaoming is struggling to catch up with the football. With his physical fitness... maybe he can't catch up with this football
As the captain of Inter Milan, Zanetti raised a glimmer of hope in his heart-maybe it has not yet reached the point where the end of the mountain!
He watched Li Xiaoming stride towards the football, praying in his heart that he would not be able to catch up with the football, or that after catching up with the football, his barely shot would either be high or miss, anyway, he would not be able to score!
Li Xiaoming seemed to be strenuous, but he took this step very powerfully and steadily.

He hadn't run much before, and all the physical energy he gained from rest was used in this step!

Just like in a marathon, the runners are exhausted and may fall down at any time, but the finish line is right in front of us, close at hand, should we run?
That must be gritted teeth to run!
It would be foolish to give up at this point!
It was the same for Li Xiaoming at this time, even though the air he breathed in made his lungs seem to be burning crazily, but at this moment, he didn't think about anything, only football was in his eyes.

After taking that step, he used all his strength to throw his left leg out and throw it towards the football!
And his body was also carried to the left.

But it paid off after all, and he kicked the football firmly with the instep of his left foot!
With a bang, the football, which was heading for the corner flag, changed its course midway, jumped up and flew towards the small penalty area.

Then a figure appeared in the penalty area and shoveled the football into Inter's goal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The entire Bernabéu stadium erupted into cheers as the ball flew upwards into the goal before hitting the net above it before coming to a halt.

Of course, the cheers came from the half of the Manchester United fans.

They have become the protagonists of the stadium, and as for the Inter Milan fans who also account for half of them... At this moment, not many people care about them anymore.Nor will they cheer.

And the Manchester United fans were cheering, jumping, roaring in every way they could think of... They vented all the emotions that had been pent up in their hearts.

The half of the stadium where Manchester United fans gathered seemed to be flowing water, constantly rising and falling, arms waving, crowds of people.

That movement really suppressed all other voices now.

The commentators on the commentary booth pressed the microphones on the headsets to their mouths and shouted loudly with all their strength, but they didn't know whether their voices would be clearly transmitted to the rear.

"Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! Rooney - the last goal, from Manchester United's No. [-] Wayne Rooney! This is a lore! Lore!" Martin Taylor went crazy He kept screaming Rooney's name loudly, and didn't say anything else, just kept repeating it, until finally his voice couldn't hold on anymore, and he used a loss of voice to warn his brain, and Rooney coughed and stopped.And he didn't turn off the microphone when he coughed, so all his reactions were clearly transmitted back to the rear studio through the satellite signal, and also transmitted to the ears of countless Manchester United fans who waited until the last moment in front of the TV.

And those Manchester United fans... are even crazier than this "madman commentator".

Someone kneeled in front of the TV, someone broke a wine glass, someone bumped their head while running in the living room, someone...

At this moment, they are all drunk.
