Chapter 343 Conflict and Penalties

Barcelona's stormy attack hits, the hope of winning lies here, everyone is going all out and starting to work hard!

The fast pace of passing made Arsenal, a Premier League team, a little overwhelmed, and fell into a passive position for a while.

Like a small fishing boat in a storm and tsunami, facing the rough waves, it will be overturned into the sea at any time, and will be torn apart by sharks until there are no bones left!

In the 34th minute, Giuly made a breakthrough from the right and made a pass. Eto'o beat Kolo Touré to grab the header, but because the header was too straight, he was hugged by Almunia, who was ordered in danger but did not panic;
In the 36th minute, Arsenal's counterattack was terminated. Ronaldinho dribbled forward with the ball in the middle, passing Gilberto Silva and Flamini in a row, and suddenly shot from the top of the arc in the penalty area. The angle was tricky to Almuni Yadu could only look at the ocean and sigh, but unfortunately, his shot missed the goal amidst everyone's regret;

Two minutes later, Ronaldinho made a comeback, dribbling continuously on the left, causing Eboue to lose his center of gravity for a while, and then suddenly cut inside to complete a shot, and the ball hit the post with a bang;

The repeated attacks made Arsenal unable to breathe. There was turmoil in front of the goal. They didn't stop Barcelona's attack.

Time to go faster!

It's best to blow the whistle to end the first half. If you continue to play like this, you don't know if you can lose the ball. Their hearts can't take it anymore.

However, Barcelona is more anxious than them. If they can't get back a goal as soon as possible, there will be big changes in the second half!
The tense atmosphere on the field was suffocating, and the fans were all staring at the field, for fear of missing a wonderful shot.

Quaresma admitted that he was a little anxious. A reckless foul against Deco just now almost got him a yellow card. Although the referee was lenient and only warned him verbally, if he couldn't calm down, he would get a yellow card. It's a matter of time!

In the final analysis, I still haven't practiced enough, and I still can't hold back my mentality, otherwise how could I be impulsive!

Made!

If you can keep calm at any time, then what a bastard!

If you can remain indifferent in the most intense games, it can only show that you are not suitable for playing football, because this is a blood sport.

When you are young, you should have unlimited firepower!

Even if a yellow card delays a little time, as long as it can survive the first half, it is worth it.

Putting down the burden, Quaresma launched a sprint again, even if it can't directly destroy the attack, it's okay to scare you half to death!
But at this moment, Barcelona attacked Arsenal's right, and Eboue and Eto'o, who was pulled to the side, suddenly met together, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.

Eto'o got up quickly, and the referee also awarded Barcelona a free kick from the side, but at this time, Eboue still fell to the ground clutching his ankle, acting very painful?

Because Quaresma was far away, he couldn't see clearly. He thought that Eboue was lying on the grass to delay the time. The so-called unbearable pain was all faked by him!

Because Eboue was unable to stand up for a long time, the Arsenal players went to check one after another, and even the referee walked over quickly. If he was really injured, then let the team doctor enter the field quickly, or put him on a stretcher!

Only then did Quaresma believe that Eboue was really hurt, at least it was very painful, because with Eboue's funny style, if he can maintain his acting skills for three seconds, he is considered amazing!
But at this moment, the Barcelona players were dissatisfied, their impatience broke out, and Van Bommel rushed to Eboue's side first.

"Get up, don't just lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, I know you're fine, bastard!"

Eto'o was going to enter the penalty area to grab points, but at this time he also rushed over angrily, accusing Eboue of lying on the ground and pretending to be injured deliberately delaying time.

The referee signaled the Barcelona players not to approach, and at the same time signaled the team doctor and the stretcher to enter the field, because it seemed that Eboue was indeed injured!

However, what Quaresma never expected was that before the team doctor arrived, Van Bommel actually frantically grabbed Eboue and wanted to drag him out of the field!
Nima!

Quaresma instantly felt blood rushing to the top of his head, and his eyes were red!

Frustrated!
"roll!"

With a roar, Quaresma exploded with full force, rushed over in two steps, pushed Van Bommel aside, and after Van Bommel turned around, Quaresma pushed forward, glaring at Van Bommel, holding back the ruthlessness The urge to punch him hard!

He was so outrageous!

Do you have any humanity left?
Even if you think Eboue is stalling for time, you can complain to the referee!

You actually want to drag Eboue out of the field directly. If Eboue's injury is affected, I will never end with you!
Van Bommel was like a lion. Facing the furious Quaresma, he didn't hesitate at all. He also pushed towards Quaresma, and he was still condescending. The two were completely on top of each other!
Quaresma had already raised his fist, and he clearly saw Van Bommel's hand about to punch, so he didn't care, he punched first!
And at the moment when the bullet was already loaded, the players from the two teams who were closest to the two quickly rushed over and separated the two.

Another second slower, I am afraid it will become a real fierce fight!

Quaresma still glared at Van Bommel, the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance!
The referee was taken aback, and hurriedly stood in the middle to prevent the players from the two teams from touching each other. If there was a large-scale conflict in the Champions League final, or violence on the pitch, I don’t know if others would suffer or not. He didn’t control it very well. First of all, the referee who is stuck in the game has no future at all.

At this time, the team doctor and the stretcher had already entered the field, and carefully carried Eboue out of the sideline. The diagnosis was undoubtedly confirmed, and Eboue was really injured!
The referee took control and called Quaresma and Van Bommel to his side.

"Focus on the game, this is a warning, don't do any provocative or excessive actions, otherwise I can only send you off the field with regret!"

After showing a yellow card to Quaresma and Van Bommel respectively, the referee gave a serious warning.

Quaresma pushed Van Bommel hard. This yellow card is definitely not too much. If Van Bommel fell to the ground directly, it would be reasonable to send Quaresma off the field directly, but Van Bommel actually made an action on the injured player. A yellow card is also a lighter penalty, and the referee showed mercy to both of them!

Staring at Van Bommel, he gave him a look of "be careful to make you look good". After Quaresma's impulsiveness, he was a little scared!
If he really got a red card, then Arsenal might really be doomed!
It is not the point to still play one less player. The point is that when there are only 9 players left on the field, it means that there is more and more room for Ronaldinho to play, and his threat will inevitably become bigger and bigger. Live Ronaldinho, then Arsenal will collapse!

Although I can't play much defensive role on the field, at least with myself, Barcelona still dare not be too presumptuous, they must guard against their own counterattack.

Patting himself on the chest, Quaresma took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. Calmness is more important than anything else at this time.

"Don't be too impulsive. If you are sent off, leave me alone on the field to fight back. I'm not as fast as you!" Henry walked over and put his arms around Quaresma's shoulders.

Quaresma nodded, even if Henry didn't say it, he knew what he should do.

The game has reached this level, it is nothing more than who can persist more.

Don't need to think about anything else, let's hold on to the last few minutes of the first half first!
After Barcelona took a free kick, their ferocious attack came again, but because of the delay just now, the continuity of Barcelona's attack was interrupted, and at the same time, time was consumed, before they could create a real threat again , the first half of the game is over.

2:0
In the case of playing one less player, Arsenal still tenaciously defended the goal and maintained the score advantage!

Quaresma breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face when he walked off the court was also relieved.

It's so hard!

Even when Milan played away in an away game and was beaten by Milan, it didn't seem to be so difficult.

Ronaldinho at his peak is too capable!
Facing Arsenal's two-team team in the middle, they can still break through and score the ball with ease, as if they are in no man's land. If Arsenal were not lucky in the first half, they would have conceded the ball long ago!
So far, Quaresma can also see that in terms of overall strength, Arsenal is indeed not as good as Barcelona.

But this will not discourage Quaresma. After all, the outcome is judged by the score. No matter how extravagant you play, if you can't win the ball, you won't be able to hold the trophy.

Positional warfare can't beat Barcelona, ​​but Arsenal's counterattack also makes Barcelona unable to hold on. No matter Quaresma or Henry, one person can cause mass destruction. If two people fight together, Barcelona's defense will also be confused.

Back in the locker room, Quaresma was not in the mood to joke with his teammates, and sat quietly to recover his strength. In the last game of the season, even if his physical strength could not last, he had to grit his teeth and persist until the last moment!
"Although I always have the confidence to win, I am still very excited when you really get a two-goal advantage!"

Uncharacteristically, Wenger did not calmly explain the tactics of the second half, but gave a speech in a very deep tone.

"In the first half of the game, maybe everyone's performance was not perfect, and we even had to play one player less, but no matter what, being able to score two goals is enough to make me proud!"

"Championship of the Champions League has always been our dream!"

"It's the first time in my life that I'm so close to my dream!"

"Facts have proved that Barcelona is not so terrible, stronger than them, but they have not been able to break our goal!"

"The last 45 minutes are left. After the game, whether to squat in the corner and silently watch Barcelona celebrate the championship, or stand on the highest podium to win the championship trophy, we will get the answer in these last 45 minutes! "

"For the championship!"

"For this dream!"

"For the sake of the great Arsenal, please take all Arsenal people to see the scenery at the highest point!"

Wenger seems to have been emotional, the players have never seen Wenger like this, at least not Quaresma.

I just wonder if Wenger was so excited when Arsenal won the Premier League title!
In front of the champion, the old French coach can't calm down anymore!

The players promised loudly, roaring loudly, with an aura that no one can beat, Hao Haoran rushed out of the locker room and walked into the stadium again!

Quaresma's heart was pounding, his blood was surging, and he was always in a state of excitement.

Looking at the Barcelona players who were equally fighting on the opposite side, Quaresma had a chill in his eyes.

You want to win?

Stop dreaming!

I am here, and no one can take away the championship!

Soon, the second half of the game began.

Lauren came off the bench and replaced Eboue, who suffered an ankle injury at the end of the first half. So far, Arsenal have used up two substitutions.

Now, this side has become the center of gravity of Barcelona's offense.

Quaresma is not good at defense at all, and Lauren may not be able to enter the game soon after he has just played. This is obviously a more suitable breakthrough.

In many cases, players who have just come off the bench will make a lot of mistakes because they have not entered the rhythm of the game, and they will even be sent off for reckless defensive actions just the second before.

Barcelona recognized this and frequently launched an onslaught this time.

Quaresma couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Lauren. Lauren faced Ronaldinho's bug on the court alone, so don't be overwhelmed as soon as you come up!
Ronaldinho took the ball on the left again, and was about to go to the ribs in a few swings, but Lauren suddenly shifted his center of gravity, stuck his position, and forced Ronaldinho back to the side, as if there was no reason at all. Play slowly.

Seeing this scene, Quaresma let out a long breath.

Lauren can still be relied upon!

Unlike Eboue, a fast-horse assaulter, Lauren's offense and defense are more balanced, and even stronger in defense. Although it is impossible to completely guard against Ronaldinho, it can cause more troubles for Ronaldinho.

Feel at ease, since the defense is probably like this, then, if you want to win, you should think about how to counterattack, that is the real meaning of staying on the court.

Soon, the opportunity has come!
Ronaldinho once again took the ball in the middle and sent it through, but Almunia judged it right. He attacked early and hugged the ball, and then quickly launched an attack by throwing the ball.

Henry stopped the ball on the left outside the penalty area, turned around and dribbled the ball forward quickly. After dunking Deco, the front was already flat!
The Arsenal fans in the stands couldn't help cheering, and Arsenal's counterattack came again!
Henry soared on the left, while Quaresma quickly followed up on the right. Regardless of the opponent's defensive formation, the combination of Quaresma and Henry can cause unimaginable destructive power.

Edmilson frantically chased back, but he couldn't keep up with Quaresma, who was out of speed. He wanted to cry while running, which was a mess.

And Henry also started to make waves on the left. After a ball was evaded by Oleg, he suddenly changed his line and went to the ribs. After attracting Marcos' defense, he sent a straight kick to the right. There, Quarre Sima has already jumped out like lightning, rushed into the penalty area in a few steps, and is about to get the ball first!
Who can stop Quaresma from shooting?

Valdes certainly can't do it, because he doesn't even have a chance to attack!

It can be foreseen that Quaresma will definitely seize this opportunity and rewrite the score to 3:0 overnight.

Arsenal's counterattack is so unreasonable!
However, the moment Quaresma was about to touch the ball, a strong force was suddenly exerted from his side. Even though Quaresma tried his best to stabilize his body, he could not maintain his balance. After staggering two steps, he fell down!
Van Bronckhorst at my side knocked me down?

In a trance, Quaresma realized that he had fallen in the Barcelona penalty area!

Amidst the ear-piercing exclamation, the referee's whistle sounded, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the referee, staring at him, waiting for his decision!

The referee took out a yellow card and gave it to Van Bronckhorst, who had just cleared the ball, and then quickly pointed to the penalty spot. His action caused the entire Stade de France to explode.

It was a penalty!
Quaresma sat on the ground and couldn't help shaking his fist. The result was great!
Although if the Barcelona full-back does not foul, he is also confident of scoring a single-handed goal, but now it is not a disadvantage to change a penalty kick and add a yellow card to the opponent!

With a yellow card in his body, Van Bronckhorst did not dare to make random moves when defending himself, and then he will have more opportunities to create threats.

I couldn't help shouting excitedly, and hugged Henry who rushed over. Amidst the cheers of the Arsenal fans in the stands, the celebration had already begun.

No goal, only a penalty, but this does not prevent them from celebrating in advance!

This time, they have a chance to lead by three goals!

The Barcelona players surrounded the referee in a panic to defend themselves, hoping that the referee could cancel the penalty kick. They had suffered blows twice and couldn't bear to lose the ball anymore!

Especially Van Bronckhorst, the whole person was lost, like a walking dead, almost collapsed!
My mind is full of the terrible consequences of the team falling behind by three goals. If the penalty is really scored, will Barcelona still have a way to survive?
The Barcelona fans in the stands yelled and vented their dissatisfaction. They thought that the referee of this game was simply the 12th man on the pitch for Arsenal.

Even though the Barcelona players protest in every possible way, the referee will not easily change his penalty. A foul in the penalty area is a foul and requires a penalty kick!

The Arsenal players also rushed up at this time and hugged Quaresma. At this moment, they felt that the sky was bright!
Leading by three goals, Barcelona also kicked a ghost!

Laughing presumptuously, as if he had already won the championship trophy, it made the Barcelona players around him resentful, but who cares!
Henry put his arms around Quaresma, his mouth couldn't close.

"You take the penalty kick?"

Quaresma just wanted to nod and say yes, but caught a glimpse of the hopeful light in Henry's expression and eyes.

Obviously, Henry wanted a penalty kick.

Henry is very superstitious. He will not take the penalty kick he created. He thinks that taking the penalty kick he created will bring him bad luck. He has always abided by this principle.

But if it is a penalty made by someone else, it will have no effect. Henry is the team's first penalty shooter, and he specializes in penalty kicks made by others.

However, Henry is not a domineering captain. He usually discusses with the person who made the penalty kick, and he will take the penalty kick after obtaining the consent.

Henry knew what this game meant to Quaresma, so even though he really wanted to take this penalty, he hesitated and decided to let Quaresma take the penalty.

But Quaresma has a better understanding of the meaning of this game to Henry.

As the rookie captain of Arsenal, Henry has been under the same pressure as Wenger since the beginning of the season. As the leader of the Gunners, where he can lead Arsenal is always a place of doubt.

Moreover, in such an important game as the Champions League final, if you can leave your name in it, it is tantamount to adding a lot of color to your career.

Quaresma could understand Henry's desire, so he shook his head!
"You better go!"

Quaresma has already scored, and the best revenge for Barcelona is undoubtedly to shatter their championship dream, so whether he can score again is not that important.

Scoring twice or even a hat-trick is enjoyable, but having a goal in hand is enough!

Therefore, Quaresma chose to give the penalty to Henry to take the penalty!
With excitement on Henry's face, he wanted to give way again, but he was really afraid that Quaresma would take the free throw, so after nodding solemnly, he hurried to the penalty spot with the ball in his arms.

The Barcelona players stood outside the penalty area, looking hopeless. In such a situation, they seemed to have been discouraged.

Of course, the last hope lies in Henry. If he fails to score a penalty, then Barcelona will definitely gain momentum, and maybe they will take Arsenal away in one wave!
Henry put down the ball, with a solemn expression, stepped back slowly, took deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down.

He stopped and looked back at his teammates behind him. Naturally, he was greeted by the high thumbs up of his teammates!
Smile knowingly, relax your mood, and stop panicking!

Then let me end this game!
Henry roared resolutely in his heart, his expression suddenly became ferocious, and he started suddenly, as if his whole body had an indomitable momentum during the run-up process.

With one kick on the ball, Henry hit the ball to the left side of the goal, with extremely precise control in terms of strength and angle!

Everyone's sights followed the ball, and Valdez in front of the goal flew to make a save, but it was still a bit late, watching the ball fly into the goal from before his eyes.

boom!
The Stade de France is boiling!
3:0
Arsenal have already led Barcelona with a complete victory!

Henry roared, jumped up high, and waved his powerful fists. That tall figure, shining in the light of the stadium, was as dazzling as a god of war.

The teammates rushed forward frantically, pressing the captain under them, layer by layer, layer by layer, and Arhat was stacked in the Barcelona penalty area.

Quaresma felt like he was about to ascend to heaven!
Game, win!
Even if they beat Barcelona to death, they won't be able to turn around!

Now, do you have any last words to say?

How about this taste?
