We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 189 Peak Confrontation, Fifteenth Crown ( words plus update, please vote)
[PS: I know everyone wants to watch the finals in one go, and Taozi also wants to finish writing the finals in one go. I’ve tried my best and can only say! Let’s top the sports monthly ticket list! Siu~]

At the same time, the camera also turned to Bergkamp on the Arsenal bench.

Will Van Persie's idol take to the court today and compete with his fanboy?
The Dutch team's legacy begins at this moment.

Bergkamp looked at Van Persie on the field, his eyes full of his 23-year-old self!
That year, he helped Ajax win the UEFA Cup, was named Dutch Footballer of the Year, and finished third in the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards.

And Van Persie is still just a young player.

As expected, I am still a little too good.

Van Persie: MMP!

In the twelfth minute, both sides launched continuous fighting in the midfield.

Vieira, Pires, Cole, Modric, Grosso and Motta all joined the war.

In the end, the young Fabregas reacted quickly and sent a straight pass.

Henry pulled to the left side, received the ball, turned around and got rid of Barzagli's entanglement, completing the breakthrough.

Henry rushed into the penalty area, but Valencia chased back at high speed and got in the way of Henry's cut and shot.

The two men broke into the penalty area, and Valencia went straight to Henry's body while he was hesitating.

Henry didn't expect that the opponent would dare to take the initiative to challenge the Premier League players. He was not careful and the ball rolled out of the baseline.

Barzagli came over and celebrated passionately with Valencia.

There was a lot of pressure on both sides in this game. The offense and defense rhythm was very fast. There were no boring moments throughout the game, and the fans were hooked almost every minute.

So much so that many people forget about other things once they sit down.

It's been more than ten minutes, and many fans haven't touched the popcorn and beer in their hands, and they haven't even changed their posture.

In the 15th minute, Vidic passed the ball to Motta from the backcourt.

Motta subconsciously touched the ball. Players with good skills all have this characteristic. It will not be too simple to get the ball. Especially since Motta himself also has the task of organization, he needs to get the ball even more.

But Vieira's judgment was too strong. He decisively rushed forward to steal the ball and his timing was very good.

Motta quickly reached out to hold Vieira and pulled the ball to try to avoid being intercepted.

But Vieira was like a mobile fortress, and even Motta, who had the blessing of "Iron Artist", couldn't hold on.

Vieira made the steal.

Motta fell to the ground.

Unable to return to defense, Modric immediately spread his hands to the referee.

boom!
Vieira made a through ball.

Eduardo, who was wandering around the Palermo penalty area, suddenly jumped up and shot without stopping the ball, creating an extreme time difference.

Handanovic took one step slowly and the football went into the goal.

"GOAL! One to one!"

"Just five minutes after falling behind, Arsenal equalized the score!"

"And the one who scored the goal was their most successful signing of the season, Eduardo!"

"Eduardo scored against his old club and he signalled to his teammates not to celebrate. This was the first time he had encountered his former teammates since leaving Palermo."

"The camera was focused on He Tianqi and Modric, and their expressions were mixed."

"If Arsenal finally beat Palermo and win the Champions League trophy, then the deal for Eduardo will become the biggest failure of He Tianqi's coaching career!"

"He personally handed his opponent the sharpest knife!"

"Of course, Vieira, who assisted the goal, told Motta in a direct conversation that if he wanted to become the strongest defensive midfielder in the world, he would have to hone his skills for another two years!"

"Now, it's still Vieira's era!"

In the 18th minute, Palermo's army pressed forward, trying to take the lead again.

Modric passed the ball to the side and Grosso made a cross from the bottom.

Kolo Toure successfully headed the ball out.

Tony was restrained by Campbell.

Motta received the ball on the outside and passed it to Valencia on the right.

Palermo's two wings took off.

Valencia accelerated the ball, creating an angle between him and Ashley Cole, and made a half-high cross pass before the baseline.

This kind of ball is difficult to handle for both offensive and defensive players.

boom!
Tony won a position in the confrontation with Campbell, raised his leg high and forced the shot, showing his strong shooting skills.

However, the 36-year-old Lehmann was still in good shape and successfully saved the ball.

"Oh! This ball was hit well and saved even better!"

"Wenger must thank Lehmann, otherwise they would be behind again now!"

“This is a sure goal!”

In the 21st minute, a dangerous situation occurred on the field.

Eboue's long clearance hit Ribery's abdomen who was close at hand.

Ribery fell to the ground, having difficulty breathing.

The team doctor rushed in.

Everyone in the Palermo coaching booth stood up nervously.

Fortunately, Ribery's condition was more of a physiological reaction and he was not injured.

The abdomen is one of the parts of the human body with the strongest comprehensive defense.

Modric has been shot, isn't he running on the court now?
In the 23rd minute, Palermo's five midfielders gradually showed an intention to suppress Arsenal's possession of the ball, making it more difficult for the latter to cross the half court.

Ashley Cole kicked the ball directly from the backcourt to Henry who was sprinting towards the side.

But Barzagli kept a particularly close eye on Henry today, following him and challenging him, then clearing the ball with a long kick.

But this time Henry also confronted Barzagli when he was exerting his strength, so the clearance was too high and too far, creating a dangerous situation.

At the critical moment, Modric performed a god-level stop.

He stepped on the football that fell from the sky, pushed it behind him, and turned around to complete the pass.

Easily passed Vieira who was rushing towards him.

boom!
Modric made a through ball.

Ribery cut inside without the ball, dribbled two steps after receiving the ball and came to the left side of the penalty area.

After a fake cut inside and a direct pass to the bottom, Kolo Toure lost his position.

boom!
Ribery made a powerful cross to the back post.

Because Tony in the middle was entangled by Campbell.

Van Persie is running towards the back post.

At the critical moment, Lehmann attacked and lifted the ball higher at the back point. Van Persie failed to head the ball and it flew out of the baseline.

Palermo took a corner kick, which was cleared by Campbell.

After Modric received the ball and passed it back to Motta, he signaled everyone to slow down the pace and let the defensive players return to their positions.

Vidic was running back when Motta suddenly passed the ball to Grosso from the left.

Grosso was in tune with the opponent's intention, accelerated his sprint, stopped the ball before the baseline, turned around and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Modric made a forward run without the ball and volleyed the ball with the outside of his right foot.

The ball bypassed Toure who was defending the shot.

when!
It hit the near post and popped out!
Wenger was dumbfounded on the sidelines.

Almost fell behind!
This kick is so tricky!

After Modric was shot, he seemed to be enlightened. His passing, stopping, dribbling and shooting in this game seemed to have reached a new level.

Of course, Wenger appeared calm on the surface.

It's just that his hands kept moving back and forth in his pockets, trying to put them in, but he didn't realize that the zipper was not open.

This shot woke up the Arsenal players.

They knew that if they continued to be so passive, the team would most likely lose the ball, so they began to increase running and confrontation.

In the 25th minute, Ribery and Henry who was returning to defense started a fierce fight for the ball.

Henry is tall and he put his arm around the national team player's shoulders from behind.

Ribery has been the absolute core for so many years and has developed a domineering attitude. He shrugged, raised his arm and waved to Henry to get rid of him.

The referee then blew the whistle and gave Ribery a yellow card.

Because that hit Henry on the cheek.

Ribery and Modric argued with the referee, giving their teammates time to retreat.

In the 29th minute, Pires received a wonderful pass from Fabregas, faked a move to shake off Valencia, successfully broke through and sent a cross from the bottom.

Henry heads the ball into the goal.

Handanovic lifted the ball with one hand and competed with Lehmann in the air.

Both of them performed at the level of goalkeepers today.

In the 33rd minute, Ashley Cole hit the wall against Fabregas, successfully passed Valencia, whose defensive quotient was not high enough, and then fiercely passed the ball to Motta.

The only thing Motta lacks may be his instantaneous speed.

Cole continued to dribble the ball diagonally to the right, forcing Carragher to attack.

boom!
Cole made a through pass.

Eduardo successfully received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and there was no one within a two-meter radius.

This is a top-notch space!
Handanovic took decisive action.

But Eduardo and Handanovic were too familiar with the situation and knew Palermo's attacking requirements, so they stopped the ball and made a lob shot.

The ball went over Handanovic's head and into the Palermo goal.

"GOAL! 2-1! Arsenal takes the lead!"

"Eduardo scored twice! Backfire on his former master!"

"Palermo lost to the people they knew best!"

"Vidic raised his hand to signal that Eduardo was offside, but the linesman made no comment."

"The referee thought the goal was valid. Eduardo's offside defense was very strong! He is another fox who lives on the offside line after Inzaghi."

"But he is more efficient than Inzaghi. Youth is his biggest advantage. He will be the new Fox King!"

Arsenal fans chanted Eduardo's name.

From this moment on, Eduardo's ranking under the term "Fox in the Penalty Zone" surpassed Inzaghi.

Forty-five million euros, absolutely worth it!

In the 35th minute, Arsenal struck while the iron was hot.

Ashley Cole repeated his old trick, continuing to cooperate with the wall on the wing and using Pires to complete the pass.

But this time Valencia came back quickly.

Ashley Cole crosses the ball to Fabregas.

Fabregas lay down quite a bit in his first step after receiving the ball because he wanted to complete the advance quickly. Moreover, players like him are very confident in their skills and speed and are bold in handling the ball.

But Motta is tall and has long legs, so he made a predictive grab and it was a tackle.

After poking the ball away, he took Fabregas down with him.

Fabregas wanted a free kick, but the referee indicated that there was no foul.

Valencia took the ball away and, under the guidance of He Tianqi, made a large-scale transfer to the left.

This made Ashley Cole's rush forward fail.

After receiving the ball on the left, Ribery made a sharp cut inside and passed Eboue directly.

As a right-back who is strong in attack but weak in defense, Eboue can only play a disruptive role.

boom!
Ribery didn't take the ball for long and immediately shot after entering the penalty area.

The shot was still at the near corner.

This is very different from their previous delicate tactics.

Lehmann was caught off guard and was a step too late when he saved the ball.

Finally his right hand touched the ball, but it bounced towards the goal post and then into the net.

"GOAL! 2-2! Like Arsenal, Palermo equalized the score quickly after losing the ball!"

"Ribery showed his unique personal ability!"

"He has a lot of freedom in shooting. It wasn't an absolute chance just now. Half of the Palermo players are often asked to pass the ball in this situation."

"He Tianqi's use of Ribery fully demonstrates that he has found the balance between personal heroism and teamwork!"

"The game is so intense! Both teams have scored four goals together!"

In Palermo, everyone started to celebrate.

……

In the 38th minute, Henry came to the left again to receive the ball. After several consecutive dunks, he made a straight pass while being double-teamed.

Fabregas made a forward run, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and then made a feint facing Vidic, found the shooting space, and took a low shot.

It was a wonderful individual performance.

But Handanovic managed to save the ball from going out of bounds.

Fabregas still has a long way to go if he wants to change the score on his own.

Currently, there are only two and a half players on both sides who can do this.

Henry, Ribery and Modric.

Modric: Which half is Henry or Ribery?

Then, Fabregas took a corner kick. There were many tall players on both sides, and everyone took off, but no one touched the ball.

The football finally rolled out of the first side's baseline in mid-air.

Fabregas's corner kick was not good enough this time, and he was obviously a little regretful about the failed shot just now.

In the 42nd minute, the game entered the final stage of the first half.

Arsenal began to increase the intensity on Palermo and prevent them from passing the ball.

Vidic could only launch long passes from the backcourt.

Ribery was very fast and got to the middle to grab the ball.

In order to push back Ribery, who was one body length ahead of him, Kolo Toure took bigger steps.

This resulted in him jumping up and heading the ball when the football flew over... but it went over the top.

Ribery, who was behind Toure, hit the ball with his head.

The football bounced behind Toure, then bounced back and landed in front of Ribery.

Lehmann's heart sank and he attacked quickly.

But Ribery reacted quickly and lightly tapped the bouncing football.

The ball went over Lehmann's head and into the Arsenal goal.

"GOAL! Three to two!"

“This is an absolute superstar!”

"Ribery scored with a lob, completing his brace!"

"Palermo takes the lead again!"

"The two teams' scores were reversed, just like two cars running side by side, stopping and starting! No one knew what the outcome would be until the finish line was reached!"

"But one thing we have to note is that all five goals so far have been scored by Palermo and former Palermo players!"

"Van Persie, Eduardo, Ribery... these familiar names, if it was last season, it would mean that Palermo would be leading their opponents 5-0!"

The camera kept focusing on these players, as well as He Tianqi and Wenger.

The value of the three words "Palermo" continues to rise.

In the end, the first half ended with a score of 3 to 2.

Palermo is currently leading.

During the half-time break, He Tianqi made some minor adjustments to the tactics in the first half, but there was not much room for maneuver.

Both teams are highly skilled in offense and defense.

What is being compared is the individual abilities of the players and the tactical philosophy of the team.

Neither of them can be changed in a short period of time.

It can be said that the outcome of this game was already determined before this season or even last season.

Just like the lives of many people have already been determined.

Soon, the second half of the game resumed.

This time it was Palermo's turn to kick off the game.

Motta made a long pass and Palermo's frontcourt players ran around everywhere.

Gilbert Silva crossed his legs while running and knocked down Ribery who was about to receive the ball. The referee showed him a yellow card.

Because his name is too long and there are too many players named Silva to distinguish them all, people generally call him "Chicken Neck".

His defensive midfield partnership with Vieira was once considered the most stable and versatile.

In the 49th minute, Modric passed the ball to Valencia.

Ashley Cole rushed to the sideline before Valencia and suddenly raised his leg to pick up the ball.

Valencia slammed on the brakes and the football flew over his head.

After turning around, Valencia saw He Tianqi's eyes.

If Valencia didn't brake, he could have blocked the ball.

Of course the price was being kicked by Ashley Cole.

Valencia was not afraid of pain, but he was worried that he would get injured and miss the World Cup, so he did not go to block the block.

As a result, he was caught red-handed by He Tianqi.

He Tianqi turned around and asked Di Maria, Zacardo and Ashley Young to start warming up.

Valencia panicked at that time.

These three guys can all play his current position.

The boss is angry!
Valencia's heart trembled, and she wanted to slap herself a few seconds ago.

Ava, you are so stupid!
What has brought you to where you are today is your speed and your courage to fight.

The boss put Zaccardo, an absolute main player, on the bench, but you didn't live up to the expectations and showed weakness in a crucial match!

You really...

In fact, the goal that allowed Palermo to equalize with Arsenal at 2-2 was due to Motta's flying tackle on Fabregas.

If Fabregas had sped up at that time, he might have touched the ball first and given Motta a yellow card.

But he eventually chose to give up the ball and fell down protectively.

The reason, of course, is because I don’t want to miss this year’s World Cup.

OMG!

Valencia, how did you become like Fabregas?
Meanwhile, in the frontcourt.

Henry, who was retreating to receive the ball, was in a position where no one was guarding him. He jumped up to meet the ball and knocked it to Pires with his heel, then quickly moved forward.

Pires dribbled forward and passed the ball to Ashley Cole who was running in from the edge of the field.

boom!
Ashley Cole crosses in.

Valencia was chasing all the way back but was still too slow.

He is fast, and so is Ashley Cole!

Fortunately, Vidic cleared the ball with a header.

The ball was controlled by Fabregas on the outside, he faked a shot and then passed the ball lightly to the side.

boom!
Vieira came in and shot the ball.

A world-class goal!
Whoever stands in his way will die!

"GOAL! Vieira!"

"3-3! Arsenal tied the score again!"

"It's so intense, oh my god!"

"This world-class shot is of such high quality!"

"What the hell is all-around? This is the world's best all-around defensive midfielder!"

"Arsenal almost traded such a strong player to Juventus!"

"The camera is once again focused on He Tianqi!"

"That's too bad! The director is reminding everyone that it was He Tianqi's suggestion that made Wenger keep Vieira, but now Vieira has dealt a heavy blow to He Tianqi!"

"The six goals scored by both sides are all highly related to He Tianqi!"

"Could it be that he himself was the one who prevented He Tianqi from successfully defending the Champions League title?"

He Tianqi was speechless.

These unscrupulous media always like to find inexplicable commonalities.

Why is no one talking about Fabregas' assist?
Xiaofa has nothing to do with him, right?
"Huh? Pep, why are you clenching your fists?" He Tianqi turned around and found that Guardiola looked at him unfriendly.

"No." Guardiola raised his hand and touched his bald head.

But you can't hide the look in someone's eyes.

If it weren’t for He Tianqi’s nonsense, Palermo might have defeated Arsenal long ago!

The current Arsenal team really makes people feel a little hopeless.

It feels like they are invincible!

In the 56th minute, Kolo Toure cleared the ball to the front point.

Barzagli headed the ball back to midfield.

Vieira headed the ball into the Palermo penalty area again.

Henry got into position and pretended to stop the ball, but in fact he let the ball pass again.

boom!
The football bounced off the ground.

This operation is exactly the same as Henry's choice when Arsenal launched the first attack of the game!
It’s an old routine!

Barzagli was shaken and his foot was forced to lift higher and higher to follow the ball.

Henry was charging forward again, which was equivalent to kicking Henry in the abdomen.

And light up studs.

The key is that this is in the restricted area!

"Oh! A penalty! The referee gave a penalty!"

"Barzali raised his leg too high and received a yellow card."

"There is no problem with this penalty."

"Barzagli still doesn't have enough experience. He was tricked by Henry. You raised your legs so high, it's unreasonable for Henry not to hit you!"

Ten seconds later, Arsenal's team song sounded.

Henry scored with a penalty kick.

The Gunners reversed the score again to 4-3!

"Now everyone knows that Henry decisively transferred from Juventus to Arsenal because he accepted He Tianqi's advice, so..."

The camera turned to He Tianqi again.

So both sides have scored seven goals, and it still has nothing to do with you!
Guardiola complained to He Tianqi: "Can you give less advice to coaches and players of other teams in the future?"

He Tianqi: "This is called a win-win situation. If I don't say that, can they afford Eduardo? Will Juventus pay a high price for Chiellini?"

"This is exchanging information for profit, paid consultation, fair and honest. The team earned at least 30 million euros in transfer fees. Where do you think your salary and bonus that continue to increase this season come from?"

"And the other side got the person they wanted, and we also got the person we wanted. Everyone was the best version of themselves, and this is called a peak showdown."

"Gua, remember this. The weak ones try to stop others, while the strong ones arm themselves. Whoever wants 60 million Yolo can take it!"

……

On the field, Palermo players showed a sense of urgency and started to become strong again.

In the 61st minute, Van Persie faced Ashley Cole alone. Although he failed to dribble past him, he still created a corner kick.

After the corner kick, Kolo Toure headed the ball away.

Modric got the ball outside the penalty area, made a fake pass to shake off Fabregas who was trying to steal the ball, and then actually passed the ball.

But Ribery was also knocked down by Modric's realistic feint.

Vieira took the opportunity to poke the ball away, intercepting and passing it.

Eduardo received the ball and ran with it, launching a counterattack.

Fabregas, who fell first, got up first and moved forward.

Eduardo made a through ball.

Fabregas received the ball and went for the match alone.

When he approached the penalty area with the ball, there were three Palermo players around him, but they were a certain distance apart from each other.

If Fabregas really wanted to show off, he might be able to break into the penalty area.

But Fabregas retreated, slowed down, turned around, retreated, and waited for his teammates to come up and launch an attack together.

This treatment is very reasonable.

But Eduardo immediately waved his hand to express his dissatisfaction.

"You rush!" Eduardo shouted.

When playing against Palermo, you don't seize the fast break opportunities, but fight a positional battle?

Are your brains showing off?
Palermo's defense is very layered. Even a team like Arsenal, whose teamwork is as good as mercury, is not as efficient in positional warfare as in counterattacks.

As a talented, capable, young player who is a real leader, isn't this your time to shine?

What a coward!

Even though my footwork is so poor, I have to try it out at a time like this!

really!

By the time the Arsenal players came up, Palermo's defense was already in place.

Fabregas passes the ball to Henry.

Barzagli made a direct rescue move to block the shot.

The football bounced towards midfield.

In order to prevent Palermo from counterattacking, Kolo Toure shot the ball into the stands.

"Oh my! Kolo Toure's kick was so stinky!"

"In terms of offense, his brother Yaya Toure is several levels stronger than him. It would be better if Yaya Toure could have done that kick!"

"It was such a good counterattack opportunity, but the one who scored the goal was the central defender. Arsenal's attack was a bit anticlimactic."

However, Wenger on the sidelines signaled Eduardo to calm down and expressed his approval of Fabregas's control of the rhythm.

After all, the team is now leading 4-3.

Eduardo was speechless. He also knew that Wenger had a preference for technically talented players like Fabregas, who might understand beautiful football better than players like Eduardo.

But the problem is that Eduardo knows Palermo better than they do!

This team has a strong ability to score goals at critical moments.

We had to expand our lead early so we could withstand their efficient counterattack in the final moments.

This team was once known as the king of buzzer beaters!

The more crucial the game and the more urgent the situation, the more players will step up.

This is in stark contrast to the situation in the Premier League and Arsenal in recent years.

This is also the reason why Arsenal has never beaten Manchester United.

The Manchester United under Ferguson had the same big heart and spiritual attributes as Palermo.

In the 63rd minute, Palermo's midfielder made a mistake in passing the ball and Fabregas received the ball.

But Palermo's midfielder counterattacked quickly and immediately surrounded Fabregas.

For safety, Fabregas made a direct lob shot from the center circle.

While preventing Palermo from getting the ball in this position, I was also telling Eduardo... You see, I can also speed up the attack, but the timing was not right just now.

Eduardo ignored Fabregas' explanation and ran towards the Palermo penalty area.

After Handanovic stopped the ball with his chest, he kicked the ball out with a big kick without waiting for it to fall.

Eduardo jumped high and almost blocked the shot.

Near the center circle, Toni retreated and passed the ball directly with his chest. Modric received the ball comfortably, dribbled two steps and then passed it to Ribery.

Ribery accelerated the ball, pretended to go to the bottom line and then suddenly cut inside.

Eboue could only barely keep up with Ribery. Ribery cut inside, opened his body to the right, and made a pass to Toni who was also advancing, but in fact he suddenly sent a through ball.

The ball passed between Eboue and Kolo Toure.

Ribery pulled Eboue aside, made a breakthrough, caught up with the ball and swept it across.

Lehmann rushed out to save the ball and cleared the ball.

Modric broke into the penalty area and successfully stopped the ball, but because he used too much force and stopped too far, he lost the chance to shoot and could only throw the ball to the ground along the right sideline of the small penalty area.

Before the ball goes out of the baseline, send a reverse triangle pass.

He then rolled out of the baseline.

He covered his abdomen and looked into the penalty area.

His wound had been torn open long ago.

But with a large Band-Aid to suppress it, it was actually okay. He had become accustomed to this "mild" level of pain.

There was chaos in front of Arsenal's goal.

Campbell went to the goal first to protect it.

And the football passed behind him.

If he hadn't been so aggressive in getting back to the goal, he could have cleared the ball.

This is the case where there is gain and loss.

Vieira was behind Toni because he was also responsible for assisting Ribery behind him.

This led to Tony grabbing the point.

boom!
Tony pushes the ball.

Lehmann made the second save on the ground.

But not all goalkeepers are called Wang Duoyu.

"GOAL! Four to four!"

"too crazy!"

“It was a complete goal feast!”

"Palermo equalized the score again!"

"Two lions kept fighting each other, and neither of them got the upper hand!"

"Luca Toni proved his worth! His goal was crucial! He made Palermo no longer passive!"

"If you're talking about comebacks, then no one can surpass last season's Champions League final."

"But if you talk about level, offense, and confrontation, this game is also a monument that is difficult to surpass!"

On the sidelines, He Tianqi threw three farmer punches!

The competition entered a white-hot stage.

Wenger no longer had the strategic planning he had before and began to signal his players to put pressure on the team and intensify the pressing in the frontcourt.

Eduardo: What were you doing so far?

In the 69th minute, Modric returned to the backcourt to meet his teammates. He faked a move with his back to shake off Fabregas and then passed the ball to launch a counterattack.

【Rocket pass and shoot】!
Toni overpowered Kolo Toure in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Van Persie, playing the role of a bridgehead.

Van Persie dribbled the ball to the right to attract the defense and then made a diagonal pass.

Toni got the ball, blocked Kolo Toure and passed it directly into the penalty area, where he made a two-man combination with Van Persie.

However, Campbell is experienced and blocked Van Persie early on.

Lehmann attacked and kicked the ball forward with his big foot.

Arsenal start to fight back!
Fabregas was in a good position, he received the ball directly and passed it to Eduardo who was running into an open space on the right.

Eduardo kicked the ball forward.

Henry, who was moving forward, immediately accelerated to the right.

Carragher gradually couldn't keep up with Henry's pace and wanted to fall to the ground and poke the ball away in advance.

Handanovic also attacked early and ran quickly to the penalty spot.

Henry poked the ball away from the right side of the penalty area, avoiding Carragher's tackle.

This allowed him to pass Handanovic.

But again, he was too deep by the time he caught up to the football.

Because the angle was very small, Henry paid more attention to the angle when shooting into the empty goal and gave up speed appropriately.

In the end, the football rolled towards the far corner of the goal with a very precise route.

This is a must goal!

Not only because the ball will go into the far corner, but also because there is Pires who can make the final move in the far corner.

At this time, Pires had two choices.

One was a finishing move outside the back post, but the ball clearly rolled into the goal.

The other one runs two steps towards the goal and kicks the football into the goal in advance.

The latter would have allowed Arsenal to score earlier but would have also taken away Henry's goal.

As a harmonious team, Pires and Henry have a good relationship and are teammates in both the club and the national team.

So of course he chose the former.

He is not Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

C Ronaldo: ???

But the next moment, Pires regretted it.

Because a black whirlwind swept past his eyes.

boom!
when!
Valencia chases back at super high speed.

When Handanovic and Carragher were looking at the goal in despair on the ground, he flew back and kicked the ball away on the goal line.

Then the next moment his back hit the doorpost.

"Oh! It's Valencia!"

"Goal line rescue! He redeemed himself!"

"So brave! This is a very passionate player!"

"He was hit really hard this time!"

"Pires missed the chance to win for the team! He should have made another kick! Even if he didn't make the final kick, he could have blocked Valencia's pursuit route."

"Everything happened so fast, the team doctor came in."

Even Ferguson in the stands was communicating with the people around him, as if he had made an important decision: "I see the Red Devil spirit in him!"

"He should belong to Manchester United!"

Soon, the team doctor made a substitution gesture to the sidelines.

Valencia couldn't hold on to the game.

He burst into tears as he realized there was a good chance he would miss the World Cup.

He felt severe pain in his waist. If it was a spinal injury, it might even affect his entire career.

But for some reason, at this moment, he felt relieved.

The team doctor carried Valencia off the field on a stretcher.

Palermo fans gave a warm round of applause.

A moment later, Arsenal fans also applauded.

They were moved by Valencia's rescue spirit.

And... Arsenal never fell behind. The score of 4 to 4 allowed the Gunners to remain calm.

When they came to the sidelines, Valencia cried and explained to He Tianqi: "Boss, I didn't dodge this time!"

He Tianqi nodded and touched Valencia's head: "I saw it, we are all proud of you."

"Believe me, you will recover before the World Cup starts, I promise you!"

[Ding! You used the "Quick Healing Card" on Valencia]

This is He Tianqi's last [Quick Recovery Card].

Although the effect is not as abnormal as the [Serious Injury Immunity Card], it is very suitable for Valencia's current situation.

After being comforted by the head coach, Valencia's condition improved a little. With the approval of the team doctor, he lay down on the bench and watched the whole game.

The other players stood up to make room for him.

Go out and warm up by the way.

Di Maria came on as a substitute.

Although they both play the right back position, Di Maria and Valencia have different effects.

Valencia is good at both offense and defense, with both speed and strength.

Di Maria is a combination of speed and technique, focusing on offense and helping with organization.

In addition, Ashley Young also replaced Grosso on the other side.

The two wingbacks have been updated, which is also the most important point in the "five-back" tactics.

Don't be stingy with replacing this position, because they consume a lot of energy and playing for 70 minutes is equivalent to playing for 90 minutes by others.

In the 71st minute, Vieira passed the ball to Eduardo.

Ashley Young went straight to the body, Eduardo staggered after stopping the ball, and the British star completed the steal.

Eduardo immediately counterattacked.

But Ashley Young seemed to have anticipated it and passed the ball to Modric.

At this moment, Eduardo felt that Ashley Young was so strange.

Has the ball increased so much?
From defense to passing the ball, his thinking is so clear and he is not in a hurry. His aura... is like that of the Emperor!
Modric held off Fabregas and let the ball pass, imitating Henry.

Don't think that Fabregas is four centimeters taller than Modric, but in the confrontation, Modric actually has the advantage.

Modric: It wasn't my fat belly that blocked the bullet, it was my abdominal muscles!

boom!
Modric caught up with the ball and made a Beckenbauer-like pass, which made the eyes of the Bayern Big Three in the stands light up.

"Modric passes the ball quickly, looking for...wait...this is not a pass!"

"Clip shot! Lob shot from the center circle!"

"Oh my God! Lehmann is too far forward! He's running back!"

"It's too late! Lehmann jumped up... and missed! The arc of the football is still very high!"

when!
The football hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced into the net!

"GOAL! Five to four!"

"A decisive blow! This is almost a decisive blow!"

"Modric scored a lob from the center circle!"

"This is an extreme arc. If it were a little lower, Lehmann would have made the save. If it were a little higher, the ball would have been blocked by the crossbar!"

"But Modric didn't let the Stade de France goal deny him a second time!"

"Compared to Fabregas's lob attempt from the center circle, Modric's shot was perfect, as if telling the Spaniards that football should be played like me!"

"How terrifying! This is a man who was shot three days ago! His kick was more accurate than the sniper who shot He Tianqi!"

"Hitting the target from a hundred paces away is just like that! Durex ultra-thin and invisible reminds you to watch the wonderful goals!"

"Oh! He Tianqi slid down the sidelines, leaving behind the classic three stripes... Why hasn't Adidas signed an endorsement contract with him yet?"

"Amazing substitution! Ashley Young made an assist with his first touch after coming on the pitch!"

"Amazing He Tianqi! Are they really going to successfully defend the Champions League title?"

"Winning the Champions League for two consecutive years is unprecedented after the Champions League reform!"

On the field, Palermo players celebrated wildly.

The hearts of the Arsenal players sank.

They had fallen behind many times in this game, but never had it impacted them as much as this time.

For the first time, they realized that they were likely to lose the Champions League.

Wenger finally changed his substitution habit and reluctantly replaced Fabregas who was obviously exhausted.

Bergkamp came on and played as attacking midfielder.

In addition, Reyes replaced Pires to strengthen the forward line.

There are many young players who have emerged this year.

Reyes is one of them.

Unfortunately, Manchester United's brutal defense left him with a psychological trauma, so he wanted to escape from the Premier League environment.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be his last game for Arsenal.

His next stop is Real Madrid!

After the substitution, Wenger also signaled Ashley Cole, Vieira and others to press forward and strengthen the attack.

In the 75th minute, Ashley Cole passed the ball to Reyes and continued to move forward.

Reyes took a step back and crossed paths with Ashley Cole, allowing Ashley Cole to pull the defender away.

boom!
Reyes launched an attack with a long pass, looking for the right side of the penalty area.

Vieira entered the penalty area, held off Carragher, stopped the ball with his chest, and then kicked it back to the top of the arc.

boom!
Bergkamp met the ball and hit a super long shot.

The speed is definitely over 120 kilometers per hour!

Swish!
The football drew a graceful arc in the air, passed through Handanovic's fingers, and created countless white waves.

"GOAL!"

"Amazing substitution! After He Tianqi made a magical substitution, Wenger also made a magical substitution!"

"Bergkamp came on for less than three minutes and scored with his first touch of the ball!"

"This is a super world wave!"

"It's amazing! It's really amazing! Both sides are killing like crazy!"

"Five to five! Both sides are back to the same starting line!"

"This could very well be a tie-breaker!"

"Is there going to be overtime in this game?"

"Of the ten goals scored in the entire game, this is the only one that has no direct relationship with He Tianqi!"

"The camera was focused on Bergkamp and Van Persie. Van Persie scored the first goal of the game, and the Ice Prince scored the tenth goal of the game! The beginning and the end, perfect!"

"No matter what, this game will become the most important memory for both sides!"

On the field, Arsenal gained momentum.

In the 79th minute, Bergkamp made a through pass.

Henry, who had taken a short break, quickly devoured Vidic and fell to the ground after an extreme pass.

Even he, at the age of 29, is not as young and vigorous as he was at the age of 25 or 26.

Reyes broke into the penalty area and shot from a small angle and hit the side net.

From the perspective of Arsenal fans, it looked like a goal.

So the Arsenal fans started celebrating.

But the referee then signaled that it was a goal kick.

It's the 84th minute and there's little time left.

Eduardo got the ball on the right and made a through pass.

Eboue came in from the side and made an inverted triangle pass.

Bergkamp got to the front point, unguarded, but in a bad position.

One is that the pace is a bit rushed, so the quality of the shot will not be very high.

The second was that the shooting angle in front of him was blocked by Palermo players.

His spirituality was leaking.

The football rolled to the left side of the penalty area.

Ashley Cole fired a shot with his left foot.

This will be the kick that decides the outcome of the game.

when!
The football flew into the sky, hit the crossbar and bounced out of bounds.

Ashley Cole held his head in disbelief.

The Arsenal players fell to their knees one by one.

This kick was the closest moment for them to win the championship.

But if the goal wasn't scored, it consumed almost all of the team's mental strength.

From this moment on, Arsenal changed visibly.

The appearance became more anxious.

I am even more lacking in determination and confidence.

The goal seemed to have shrunk into a basket, no longer looking like the sea before.

In the stands, some top celebrities interacted with each other.

Abramovich: "Luckily it didn't go in, otherwise I would have to pay another 10 million euros!"

Last summer, Ashley Cole was close to joining Chelsea, but was stopped because he met with Chelsea head coach Mourinho without the club's permission.

Ashley Cole was also fined a huge amount of £100,000 by the English Football Association.

In the winter transfer window of this season, the two sides almost completed the deal.

Arsenal agreed to a pay raise and kept Cole.

But Mourinho still wants this super left-back.

And if Arsenal win the Champions League and Ashley Cole scores the winning goal, Chelsea will obviously be slaughtered by Arsenal.

So Abu is happy.

On the other hand, Ferguson smirked at Abramovich's good taste.

In this game, Valencia and Ashley Cole faced off directly, and not only did Valencia not lose, he even had the advantage.

His clearance of the century was of great significance, demonstrating his strong spiritual attributes.

In addition, Valencia is well-known for its shooting skills, which are among the top five in the world!
With such a situation, who would still look up to Ashley Cole?
It's really like not recognizing a great man when one has eyes, and not recognizing a rich man when one has money!
What is football's Wa San?

Valdaro the Great, with his sharp passing and shooting, was nicknamed "Valdo the Valdez".

Erva Shevchenko, a Ukrainian nuclear warhead, is known as "Sheva".

Sanwa Valencia, his shooting skills are not inferior to Shevchenko, and he is called "Valencia doesn't shoot" for short!
Because they run at lightning speed on the court with a humming sound, the three of them are also called "Huluwa"!
The first two Huluwa were both Mr. Golden Globe winners.

Do you think Valencia will not win the Ballon d'Or in the future?

Even if he agreed, Da Wa and Er Wa would not agree!

Big Wa and Second Wa agreed, but Ferguson didn't agree!

Valencia: You are so old, why don’t I call you grandpa?
……

In the 88th minute, He Tianqi called Guardiola and started writing and drawing on the tactical board.

Obviously preparing for overtime.

Wenger then called in his assistant coach, unwilling to be left behind.

Such behavior will obviously give the players on the field an illusion.

But He Tianqi winked at Modric and others.

"Pass!" Modric suddenly spoke, reminding Motta behind him.

Motta made a long pass, accurate and fast.

Van Persie immediately cut in from the right and attacked Kolo Toure.

Toney and Gilbert Silva blocked each other and neither could get into position.

Ribery also cut in from the left and took the initiative to confront Campbell.

Campbell knew that Ribery wanted to commit a foul, so he didn't dare to use too much strength.

In addition, he was in a good position and could respond when Ribery received the ball, so there was no need to squeeze hard with Ribery.

Otherwise, it would be just like what happened to Kolo Toure before, where he missed the chance to win by Ribery.

Just like that, Ribery successfully stopped the ball at the top of the arc with the help of Campbell's left foot.

Campbell immediately stepped out to steal the ball.

But Ribery stopped the ball with his left foot and passed it to his right foot.

Campbell emptied out.

Of course, he still maintained his pressure on Ribery and did not give Ribery the chance to turn around.

But Ribery didn't need to turn around.

Ribery stepped on the ball with his right foot, kicked back and dug the ball into the penalty area.

Modric took advantage of the situation and moved forward into the penalty area.

Kolo Toure gave up on Van Persie and stretched out his long legs to kick the ball sideways.

Modric took the ball out first, then was hit by Kolo Toure's foot and staggered.

boom!
Modric caught up with the ball and took half a step to the left.

Vieira, who was chasing from behind, stretched his legs, but found that he had no chance to poke the ball away, and he couldn't even trip Modric in time, so he changed from sliding to kneeling, and watched Modric go to the banquet alone.

Lehmann strikes out.

Modric's steps were messy and he kicked the ball with his left foot in a hurry.

Kicked it!
The football moved slowly, then spun quickly and rolled to the right.

It just happened to bypass Lehmann who was going down to the ground.

Then slowly...it went into the far corner of the goal.

Then Ashley Cole slid into the goal.

But it was too late.

Modric's shot is so deceptive!

That shot was clearly aimed to the left, it was a push shot!

How come the football flies to the right?
How dare you shoot with such poor shooting skills?
Even the stadium commentator was stunned for a long time.

"This... this shouldn't have been specially designed by Modric."

"He missed the target, his shot was a far cry from Valencia's, not even as good as Ashley Cole's."

"Who would have thought that such an amateur-level shot would appear on the stage of the Champions League final! And... it was a buzzer-beater!"

"He caused Lehmann to misjudge! He stole Lehmann's save, which should have been successful, with a botched performance!"

"GOAL!"

"Six to five!"

"In the last minute of regular time, Modric scored an abstract shot!"

"He and Ribery played a perfect combination!"

"Although the last kick looked so hasty and clumsy, scoring a goal is the best medical beauty!"

"At this moment, Modric became tall and mighty in everyone's heart!"

"I'm sorry, Tony, every time I talked about Luca before, I only thought of you."

"But today, forgive me, there is only one Luka, and that is... Modric!"

Rumble!
The scene exploded instantly!

The haters are boiling with anger!
Palermo's substitutes rushed out and warmly embraced Modric, Ribery, Toni, Motta and others who rushed to the sidelines.

"Valencia, lying on the bench, shed tears of excitement!"

"His efforts were worth it! They are going to be Champions League champions again!"

“They did it!”

At this time, even the most rational person cannot make the right judgment.

Valencia’s tears were clearly caused by Grosso, Mascherano, Zaccardo and others who rushed out and hit Valencia, that’s all...is that it?

"Woo woo woo! We are the champions!" Valencia's murmur told everyone the answer.

The physical pain no longer mattered.

His tears were shed for the championship.

On the other side, Arsenal's half seemed like a lonely place.

The players, coaches, and staff were all like the living dead.

The feeling of being away from the championship was getting stronger and stronger, faster and faster.

Extra time was played on the sidelines.

five minutes.

Wenger requested a substitution almost mechanically.

Eboue was replaced by right midfielder Ljungberg.

This kind of machine is to protect himself and also to stabilize the players.

In fact, he was completely panicked inside.

He was no longer able to think.

After the game restarts.

In the first minute of stoppage time, He Tianqi asked for a substitution.

Mascherano replaces Van Persie.

Van Persie left the field slowly and Arsenal fans kept insulting him.

The referee also showed him a yellow card.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Mascherano brought down Bergkamp and received a yellow card.

Arsenal didn't dare argue with the Palermo players at all.

An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time!

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Motta successfully stole the ball from Reyes and then passed the ball to Di Maria.

Di Maria was running towards the goal and was knocked down and tackled by Ashley Cole.

Ashley Cole receives the yellow card.

Di Maria lay on the ground indicating that he might be injured.

The team doctor entered the stadium.

Time continues to pass.

Ljungberg came up to urge the players and had an argument with Di Maria, so the referee showed Ljungberg a yellow card.

In the sixth minute of stoppage time, the referee gave Arsenal some time.

Palermo players and fans were all complaining on the sidelines.

Arsenal had the ball for one final attack but they did not dare to organise it carefully and could only have Ljungberg send a cross.

Vidic cleared the ball with a header.

Modric and Reyes rushed towards the landing point of the ball and fought with each other.

Modric is experienced and he blocked Reyes first, and then pulled Reyes when he was pushed down by Reyes.

Both of them fell to the ground.

The referee called a foul on Reyes.

Immediately afterwards, three more whistles were blown, ending the game.

The next moment, Palermo players swarmed onto the field.

The miracle has successfully blossomed again!
He Tianqi immediately walked towards Wenger, shook hands with the 56-year-old white-haired man, and hugged him to comfort him.

"Congratulations, you won." Wenger's voice was extremely lonely.

He Tianqi shook his head: "This is a great game. Its existence is more important than winning or losing. Whether it is ten or twenty years later, everyone will remember everyone in this game."

"Remember you and me."

"Thank you, professor, you made me feel the most beautiful and powerful offensive football!"

"You and this peak Arsenal team will become an eternal classic in my heart!"

Wenger didn't say anything more, but shook He Tianqi's hand firmly.

A thousand words are not as good as a true friend.

Only God can know me and understand me!
Wenger knew that at this point in the game... it had become an art!
