King of the Zone

On the court, Falcao rushed to the bench and celebrated fiercely with Simeone and other coaches and players.

If the final score is still 4-3 and Atletico Madrid wins the championship, then Falcao can at least increase his worth by 2000 million euros in this game.

To be able to win the face-to-face final with Cheng Hai and Dortmund, and to score more goals than Cheng Hai, the value is simply incalculable!
No wonder Falcao was so excited!

Anyone who staged a big four on such a stage and facing such an opponent, and helped the team lead the score, would find it difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.

On the other side, with Falcao's goal, Dortmund was in a hurry up and down.

There are only 20 minutes left before the end of the game. Even Cheng Hai doesn't mean that he can score a goal, let alone other people?

Therefore, Klopp is also impatient.

He resolutely replaced Sebastian Kyle, who had already received a yellow card, replaced Mario Gotze with Owomoyela as a winger, and pushed Mario Gotze to the front line.

Moreover, Klopp also gave orders to Piszczek, Schmelzer, and Hummels to plug in and participate in the attack at any time to increase Dortmund's attack power.

The only one who must stay in the backcourt is the central defender Subotic.

Of course, Piszczek, Schmelzer, and Hummels cannot all rush to the frontcourt. Usually, only one person can go up, and the other three form a three-central defense system to protect the penalty area.

As for the sidewalk, I can't care about it.

After completing the substitution, Cheng Hai, Gundogan and others protested to the referee when they saw that Atletico Madrid was still celebrating and suspected of delaying time.

Under the intervention of the referee, Atletico Madrid had to end the celebration and return to their own half to allow Dortmund to open the ball.

After the game restarted, Dortmund's formation, which had changed players and pushed Mario Götze into the winger position, pressed forward and started a frantic attack.

Under normal circumstances, Atletico Madrid should strengthen the defense through substitutions.

But Simeone is not an ordinary person. He knows that when Dortmund has Cheng Hai, it is difficult for ordinary teams to defend.

Among other things, in Dortmund's indiscriminate bombing, the defensive side is easy to foul and give Cheng Hai a free kick, and Cheng Hai can shoot directly.

Therefore, with Dortmund's formation pressing forward, Atletico Madrid not only did not shrink the formation to defend, but forced Dortmund to oppose with a more tough full-court press, and then counterattacked to deter Dortmund's backcourt.

If you can take advantage of Falcao's explosion and score another goal, then Atletico Madrid's championship will be considered stable.

The two sides on the field have already fought to the point of blood, and there are scenes of people turning their backs on their backs everywhere.

Atletico Madrid's high-position press is very easy to foul, and Dortmund's tit-for-tat is full of gunpowder.

Although Atletico Madrid has paid great attention to the choice of the place of the foul, after all, in the 78th minute, it gave Dortmund a free kick to the right of the front center and about 31 meters away from the goal.

The ball was a bit far away. Although Cheng Hai made a shot with a post-match statistical speed of 118km/h and an excellent angle with his full-scale shooting skills, shooting power, and arc technology, the free kick that went straight to the dead corner was saved by Courtois, who moved ahead of time and reacted quickly.

Courtois made a world-class save that drew applause from all Atlético fans and neutrals alike.

Especially the backcourt players of Atletico Madrid, all of them had lingering fears, and they all stepped forward to hug and celebrate Courtois, thanking him for this crucial save.

For Cheng Hai, the missed goal made him quite disappointed.

Originally, after kicking the ball, he felt very good, thinking that the ball would definitely be scored.

Unexpectedly, Courtois made a mistake in this save, and threw his shot that went straight to the dead corner.

The bad feeling in Cheng Hai's heart became more and more intense.

But don't really lose the game and stop thinking about the annual six-time champion, then his choice to stay in Dortmund forcibly is undoubtedly wrong.

Therefore, in the next game, Cheng Hai worked harder, constantly taking the ball and trying to break through and shoot.

However, Atletico Madrid's defense has been impeccable.

Although Cheng Hai's personal strength is very strong, and he is almost invincible one-on-one, Atletico Madrid constantly destroys Cheng Hai's breakthroughs or shots through seamless joint defense, making him return without success.

Even at this point in the fight, the Atlético Madrid players' physical energy was exhausted, but the prospect of an imminent victory stimulated them to burn their potential, and they kept fighting until Cheng Hai scored a goal.

In the 87th minute, Atletico Madrid midfielder Mario Suarez cramped and fell to the ground. Simeone saw it and immediately made a substitution, replacing Suarez who had already received a yellow card.

Moreover, not only Suarez was replaced, but Simeone also replaced another striker, Adrian Lopez, and replaced him with a defensive player to strengthen the defense.

There are only five or six minutes left before the end of the regular game time, and Atletico Madrid can shrink their defense until the end of the game.

From this moment on, even Falcao withdrew to the 30-meter area of ​​the goal to participate in the defense, using his strong body to interfere and compete for the top.

The full back defense of the bus and iron barrels, coupled with Atletico Madrid's own very skilled and frantic pressing, made it impossible for Dortmund to send the ball into the penalty area and create shooting opportunities for Cheng Hai's forwards.

Especially Cheng Hai, even if he doesn't have the ball at his feet, there are at least two Atletico Madrid players close to him.

And once there is a sign of taking the ball, one or two of the nearest players will rush over immediately, forming a siege of three or four people.

In short, Atletico Madrid used their crazy high press and bus iron barrel formation to prevent Dortmund from getting good shooting opportunities.

Gundogan, Royce and others have already started to make long-range shots outside the penalty area.

However, in this world, except for Cheng Haihai, other people's long shots can basically be linked to wave shots. Gun Duoan and others tried two or three times, but they didn't even hit the goal frame.

As for Cheng Hai, even if he wants to retreat outside the penalty area to shoot, it is useless, because Atletico Madrid has completely ignored the offense and defended with all members.

Therefore, even if Cheng Hai withdrew to the outside of the penalty area, there would still be two or three people marking him closely at any time, making it impossible for him to even shoot from long distances.

And if you retreat and withdraw to the 30-meter area of ​​the goal, it will be even more impossible to enter.

Today not only Falcao is in good form, but goalkeeper Courtois is also in very good form.

If it weren't for Cheng Hai, he would never have conceded three goals today.

In addition to Cheng Hai's threatening free kick, Courtois also threw several threatening balls within the goal frame of Cheng Hai and his teammates today.

With his current state, even if Cheng Hai gets a long-range shot from 30 meters outside the goal, it is impossible to score: Too much distance leaves too much time for Courtois to save.

As time passed, the time came to the 90th minute, and the fourth official had already raised the electronic card for 3 minutes of stoppage time.

Klopp is naturally quite dissatisfied with this stoppage time. He can't wait for seven or eight minutes of stoppage time, but that is impossible.

Although the two sides fought fiercely in this game, no one was injured, and no additional conflicts occurred. The collisions between the two sides were reasonable collisions and fouls within the rules of the game, so the delay was not much, and the stoppage time was only average.

In the stands, the Atlético de Madrid fans were already singing loudly while holding the trophy model, celebrating in advance.

Atletico Madrid's bench, no one was sitting, they all rushed to the sidelines, ready to rush into the field to celebrate the victory and the championship.

As for Dortmund's substitute players and fans, they all looked frustrated, biting their lips and clenching their fists, hoping that a hero would stand up at the last moment and save the team.

Everyone turned their attention to Cheng Hai.

If anyone could save the team at this time, it would undoubtedly be Cheng Hai.

Of course Cheng Hai also wanted to be this hero.

It's not that he wants to accept the worship of the fans, but that he also wants to win, and he doesn't want to lose this final that is related to the championship.

Dortmund is neither a super giant nor a team with a very deep heritage. It is incomparable with teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, and Milan.

The purpose of Cheng Hai's initiative to stay is to win the six championships in 2012 and the six championships in the 2012/2013 season, get more skills and skill point rewards, and improve his strength even higher.

It turned out that in this European Super Cup match, Tiger Falcao played such a superb state, it was even more terrifying than Cheng Hai.

Cheng Haidu only staged a hat-trick, and Falcao actually staged a big four, which directly led to Dortmund still trailing 3-4 in stoppage time and about to lose the championship.

Cheng Hai was not reconciled, and also wanted to stage a stoppage time show to save the team!
But there was nothing he could do.

At the end of the game, Atletico Madrid's defensive players became more concentrated and their defense was tighter.

Whether he is in the penalty area, or wants to retreat outside the penalty area, or even change positions to the wing, he can't get rid of the defense of Atletico Madrid players, and he has almost no chance to get the ball.

As long as he has a sign of touching the ball, three or four people will immediately block all the routes of breakthrough and shooting, making him useless.

Even because too many people piled up in the 30-meter area of ​​the goal, even his passing route was blocked, and he couldn't pass the ball to assist his teammates.

"What should I do? Where is the opportunity?" Cheng Hai asked himself anxiously while continuing to move around.

Time is running out. If Dortmund does not score any more goals, Dortmund will really be defeated by Atletico Madrid and lose the fifth championship of the year.

And Cheng Hai can also imagine, because of his skin color and nationality, how many people in European and American society are waiting to spray him!

It can be seen from last year's FIFA Ballon d'Or.

His performance before has been beyond reproach, making those people temporarily silent, without saying a word.

And now he is the number one superstar in the world. If Dortmund, a club that is not very rich, has the highest salary in the world, but cannot lead Dortmund to the championship in a European Super Cup that determines the outcome, his status as the world's number one superstar and the highest salary will inevitably be discredited by a large number of Western trolls and racists.

He had to create chances, stage a stoppage time tie and save the team.

At this moment, Royce dribbled the ball from halfway and cut inside to the left side of the penalty area, while Cheng Hai moved to the left of the penalty spot to respond.

But any movement of Cheng Hai will attract Atletico Madrid defenders to follow him. Not only is he following a defensive player, but there are also two players standing on the small penalty area line. On the one hand, it prevents Cheng Hai from hitting the goal without stopping the ball.

At the same time, after seeing Cheng Hai's intention to catch Royce, a player outside the penalty area also rushed to the penalty area, trying to destroy Cheng Hai's intention to catch the ball.

It can be said that if Royce passes the ball to Cheng Hai, whether Cheng Hai catches the ball and breaks through or turns around and hits the goal, the probability of success is quite small.

But Royce really pushed the ball to Cheng Hai.

Maybe it was his own lack of self-confidence, maybe it was his trust in Cheng Hai, or maybe he wanted to throw the blame away. Anyway, Royce pushed the ball laterally from the side penalty area to Cheng Hai who was facing at least four people in the penalty area.

If there is enough time and the score is leading, Cheng Hai can naturally try it, and take a gamble on the extremely small probability of success, it doesn't matter if it is wasted.

But now there is not much time left in the game. Once the attempt fails and the ball changes hands, the ball is kicked out of the front line by Atletico Madrid, and it will take at least half a minute to delay the ball again and organize the attack again.

For Dortmund now, every second is very precious!
Therefore, Cheng Hai, who was not sure whether he was catching the ball or shooting, turned his head slightly to look outside the penalty area before catching the ball to see if there was room for the ball to be played without stopping.

But Gundogan and Hummels outside the penalty area were all stared at. Even if Cheng Hai passed the ball, there was a high probability that he would miss it.

Moreover, there was a player rushing over from outside the penalty area, and Cheng Hai might not be able to pass the ball even with one kick.

Just when Cheng Hai was a little disappointed, he suddenly felt a figure wearing a Dortmund yellow jersey flash in the middle, and rushed towards the penalty area in the middle.

Who was that figure? It was completely beyond Cheng Hai's peripheral vision. He couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know who it was.Whether he ran out of the gap is also unknown.

But his full field of vision made him intuitively feel that there was no one in front of the figure even if he didn't see the person clearly. After Cheng Hai attracted the defensive attention of four people, there was a short gap near the penalty spot in the middle.

Of course, time has not allowed Cheng Hai to stop the ball, turn around, pass the ball, and even turn his head slightly to see who the teammate is.

Not to mention that the opponents around him do not allow it, even if he can really stop the ball and complete the turn pass, the time may have been missed.

Opportunities such as this densely populated in the restricted area have always been fleeting.

So, in a blink of an eye, when everyone in the audience was watching Cheng Hai nervously to see how he handled Royce's pass, everyone saw that he didn't stop the ball at all, but lifted his foot as if to stop the ball, and missed the ball.

Cheng Hai missed the ball.

When the four defenders around him, including the goalkeeper Courtois, were tense and ready to defend, Cheng Hai, who was ranked number one in the world in terms of technique and physical fitness, actually faced a pass from his teammates in the penalty area. Instead of stopping or shooting, he just missed the ball.

This is beyond everyone's expectations, whether it is Dortmund or Atletico Madrid players, or fans.

Even the target teammate who Cheng Hai missed the ball did not expect Cheng Hai to miss the ball.

The Dortmund player who rushed into the penalty area was actually the central defender Subotic. Seeing that there was not much time left in the game and the team was about to lose, he also ignored Klopp's order to let him stick to the backcourt and prevent Atletico Madrid from counterattacking. Instead, he ran all the way into the penalty area.

Because Cheng Hai attracted the defense of four people, and the running positions of Gundogan, Lewandowski, Mario Gotze and others also attracted the other defensive players of Atletico Madrid.

But he rushed up to see if Cheng Hai or other teammates' shots could cause Courtois to miss the save and let him catch a chance to make a supplementary shot, not to directly receive a pass from Royce to shoot.　
Because although Cheng Hai on Royce's passing line is not so independent, the position and posture of Cheng Hai receiving the ball made him think that Cheng Hai couldn't see himself, so it was impossible for him to miss the ball. He was not ready to shoot from the penalty spot at all.

As a result, just when he thought that Cheng Hai would shoot and wanted to continue to rush forward into the small penalty area to try for a chance to make a supplementary shot, he found that Cheng Hai lifted his foot, did not shoot, did not stop the ball to break through, but missed the ball.

Subotic, who was about to pass the penalty spot, was shocked, but he didn't have time to think about how Cheng Hai found himself and missed the ball. He could only brake quickly, and then, with his center of gravity leaning forward and awkward posture, he barely kicked the ball and completed the shot.

The moment they saw Subotic's running position and Cheng Hai raised his foot to miss the ball, the fans on both sides in the stands and in front of the TV stood up excitedly.

Cheng Hai's missed goal exceeded everyone's expectations, and it also made the atmosphere in front of the scene and in front of the TV suddenly tense, even more tense than Cheng Hai's direct shot.

Because the opportunity created by Cheng Hai's missed ball is more threatening than his direct shot.

Subotic's unguarded movement in the middle of the penalty area, coupled with Cheng Hai's unexpected missed ball, caused Atletico Madrid's goal to have a huge crisis.

Atletico Madrid fans booed in horror, while Hornet fans held their breath, everyone stared at Subotic. Atletico Madrid fans prayed that Subotic would fly the ball, while Hornet fans prayed that he would hit the ball in, stage a stoppage time tie, and save the team.
