Chapter 319 Outside the Forbidden Zone
"This match is so exciting!"

"I almost fell asleep during the first half!"

"Keep going! Keep the attack going!"

"The best part is always in the second half!"

On the Chinese internet.

The fans were discussing it enthusiastically.

The fans who were staying up all night to watch the game are no longer sleepy; everyone is excited.

This fast-paced, back-and-forth battle is incredibly exciting to watch!

Inside the CCTV studio.

He Wei also got excited: "After the score became 2-2, both sides completely relaxed. Liverpool is under no pressure now. They have two away goals in hand, while Juventus? This is their home ground. They have already given Liverpool two away goals. They must attack with all their might and try to win the game in order to gain an advantage in the second leg!"

This is indeed the situation that both teams are currently facing.

Liverpool have a two-goal lead away from home.

They've already launched an offensive.

Juventus cannot afford to remain passive and attack.

This is equivalent to setting up both teams.

Defense?

Who cares about defense anymore?

Once an opportunity to attack arises.

Both sides went all out.

Such an intense attacking battle is truly a rare sight in the Champions League knockout stage.

What's even rarer is...

Cristiano Ronaldo and Sunny, two superstars, traded goals.

You go in, I'll go in.

The momentum of the two players' fans took turns rising.

Just as the commentator was speaking.

The sunlight found another opportunity here.

He received the ball inside the penalty area, then turned and swept it with his right foot.

The ball was deflected by a defender and appeared on the left side of the penalty area.

Mane surged forward at high speed and unleashed a powerful shot that struck the side netting.

It terrified the Juventus fans at the scene.

Even Juventus coach Allegri thought it was in, and was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Allegri came to the sidelines, waving his arms and shouting for Juventus fans to overwhelm their opponents with attacking play.

It's come to this.

Allegri knew this very well.

Who backs down first?

Whoever does it loses.

Despite the chill that ran down his spine from Liverpool's attack.

But he also had to pull himself together.

Let his team continue attacking.

Cristiano Ronaldo was in exceptionally good form in this match.

Perhaps his performance will help Juventus win the game.

Allegri was thinking about it.

Ronaldo then took a shot on goal.

The ball was passed into the penalty area from the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo sprints and jumps.

This time he got the ball over Van Dijk's head and headed it towards the goal.

The football was blocked out of bounds by Alisson's outstretched hand.

"Ronaldo!!"

Cheers erupted from the stands.

It wasn't until the ball was blocked out of bounds that the scene turned into a sigh of regret.

"Ronaldo! Danger!" He Wei exclaimed in surprise. "Van Dijk's aerial ability is outstanding. There are almost no players in the Premier League who can gain an advantage over Van Dijk in the air. Yet Ronaldo actually overpowered Van Dijk to head the ball into the goal! His heading ability is truly remarkable!"

"He jumped incredibly high!!"

The commentators were all amazed by Ronaldo's performance today.

The fans in the stands were also cheering for Ronaldo.

Real Madrid fans watching on screen had mixed feelings.

They don't know either.

Is Florentino Pérez's rejection of Cristiano Ronaldo's contract extension offer and his sale to Juventus a good thing or a bad thing for Real Madrid?

At least from the current situation.

Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed in excellent form.

The brake pads for this race were completely removed.

Both sides' attacks were very threatening.

The match ended in the 71st minute.

Salah crosses the ball.

Wijnaldum, following up in the middle, headed the ball towards goal, but it went just over the bar.

The match is in its seventy-third minute.

Dybala dribbled past several players in the penalty area before falling.

The crowd chanted for a penalty kick.

The referee ignored it.

Juventus players protested fiercely.

Allegri even received a yellow card for this.

Three minutes later.

Mane fell to the ground in almost the same manner inside the penalty area.

The referee waved to signal Mane to get up.

There was no penalty for this goal.

This time it was Liverpool residents' turn to protest.

The fans at the scene were chanting that he had faked the fall.

The competition became increasingly intense.

Courtside.

The two head coaches could no longer sit still.

Their body language is very rich.

These expressive body language gestures may not necessarily affect the players on the field.

But it will definitely help them release their emotions.

"In the second half, both sides created numerous chances, but both goalkeepers were in excellent form, making for a very intense match. However, for about ten minutes after Ronaldo's goal, neither side managed to score again."

In the commentary box.

The commentators on Sky Sports England are summarizing the last ten minutes or so of the match for the fans.

It was very intense and quite exciting.

But no goal was scored.

Time passes minute by minute.

The match was fast approaching the 90th minute.

The score remained 2-2.

"Regular time has ended, and the fourth official on the sidelines has announced the stoppage time. There are four minutes of stoppage time in this match. Considering that the match was not interrupted much and was very smooth overall, with only the celebrations when both sides scored causing a little delay, four minutes of stoppage time is reasonable. For both teams, they only have four minutes left to change the game."

"Both teams performed exceptionally well in this half; perhaps a draw would be a fair outcome. Liverpool's attack! Henderson's diagonal pass, Salah!!"

As the commentators shouted.

The ball was passed to the right wing.

Salah received the ball and charged straight at the opponent's left-back, Spinazzola.

Spinazzola knew Salah's dribbling ability, so he didn't dare to rush in to intercept him. Instead, he kept retreating to block Salah's passing lanes.

Salah attempts to dribble the ball down.

After realizing there was no opportunity, he passed the ball back to Arnold, who was standing at the corner of the penalty area.

Arnold meets the ball.

He delivered a direct cross.

Within the restricted area.

Substitute center-back Bonucci headed the ball to the other side.

Mane didn't let the ball go out of bounds; he stopped it and then darted into the penalty area.

"Mane...keep pushing into the penalty area?!"

"Liverpool's two wingers are just too individually capable!"

"Liverpool's attacking trident is a nightmare for all their opponents!"

The commentators cheered loudly.

Amidst boos from the entire audience.

Mane made a move as if he was about to cut inside and shoot at Cancelo.

He then paused suddenly, went down to the baseline, and passed the ball into the penalty area with his left foot.

The football took flight, seeking the sunlight in the middle.

Buffon reacted extremely quickly.

He rushed out as soon as Mane crossed the ball.

He leaped high at the near post and punched the ball out of the penalty area.

At the same time, Juventus' defense collectively pushed forward.

Liverpool's attacking players were put in the offside trap.

Of course, the sunlight won't foolishly stay in the offside zone.

He actually realized the ball wouldn't be in his area when Buffon came out to challenge him.

So he immediately ran towards the edge of the restricted area.

When Robertson got the ball on the outside, he had already run to the vicinity of the penalty area arc.

Sunshine raises its hand.

He signaled to Robertson to pass the ball.

Without hesitation, Robertson passed the ball directly.

Despite the defensive pressure, Yang Guang won the ball, then pulled it back and turned.

Bonucci stepped up to defend.

Yang Guang raised his foot, making a motion as if to flick the ball, but it just brushed past the ball, and then suddenly spiked the ball.

Then he used his other foot to flick the ball back.

This series of maneuvers left Bonucci a little dizzy.

"pretty."

Before the commentator could even give a shout-out, Yang Guang had already shot the ball toward the goal.

The ball was powerful and heavy, and it was also at a certain angle.

When the ball is kicked.

The entire Juventus Allianz Stadium erupted in gasps.

Allegri stared wide-eyed, just like all the Juventus fans in the stadium, looking in the direction of the ball toward the goal.

When Buffon made a diving save and cleared the ball, the Juventus fans in the stadium seemed to come alive and cheered.

But the cheers stopped abruptly as soon as they began.

Because Buffon's save went to the wing, Salah got the ball.

He controlled the ball and dribbled into the penalty area.

Chiellini lunged at him.

Salah's eyes were fixed on the goal; it seemed like the goal was all he could see.

But Chiellini had a backup plan.

He glanced at the location of the sunlight, then subtly prepared himself.

He judged that Salah wouldn't shoot, but would instead continue searching for sunlight.

Time has come to an end.

This is like the final shot in a basketball game when the score is tied.

Who should we entrust with this attack?

It should definitely be handed over to the team leader.

Salah would never attempt a shot from a tight angle at this moment!
Think of this.

Chiellini saw Salah raise his foot as if to shoot the moment.

He suddenly lunged towards the path between Salah and the sunlight.

Chiellini was right.

Salah clearly had no intention of shooting; his performance was all a prelude to that final pass.
结果
The moment the ball was passed, Salah's face showed surprise.

The ball was deflected by the toe of Chiellini's diving foot, causing the pass, which was initially low to the ground, to bounce up.
Chiellini turned his head, looking at the sunlight that had rushed past and the football that he had blocked, bouncing up and flying towards the edge of the penalty area.

A joy in my heart.

He succeeded.
Sunshine after taking the shot.

Before he could even feel regret, he saw Salah receive the ball. He quickly moved laterally, waiting for Salah to pass the ball.

Salah indeed opted for a triangular cross.

But right now.

Chiellini unexpectedly lunged forward.

Although he failed to intercept the ball directly, it deflected off his toes, and at that moment, Yang Guang's body was moving forward.

The football flew towards his back.

"Chiellini, beautiful defense!!"

The whole audience cheered.

If Salah and Sunshine practice this time, Sunshine will rush in from outside the penalty area and take a shot at the goal.

Buffon will probably be in a difficult position.

Yang Guang was ready to shoot, but he had to stop abruptly and turn to lunge at the ball's landing point.

at the same time.

Bonucci, who had been keeping his eyes fixed on the sunlight, also lunged forward quickly.

He didn't dare to stick to it directly, worried that the sunlight would just tip the ball over his head and past him.

Sunshine has done this many times before.

Every time I see these shots created by the sunlight using footwork techniques...

Bonucci was amazed.

This is a tall man who is nearly two meters tall.

How does one develop such excellent ball control?
Bonucci stared at the sunlight streaming down his back.

He also needs to make predictions.

How will the sunlight be handled on this planet?
He checked the match time.

It's almost 94 minutes already.

If he were a Liverpool player.

They'll most likely just pass the ball back.

A 2-2 score is a very comfortable result for the away team.

They should be able to accept this score.

Bonucci was disappointed, but he also knew it.

Juventus no longer have time to attack.

Is it more likely that this game will end here?
Bonucci's face stiffened.

Under his gaze.

The back of Liverpool's number 9 suddenly leaned back.

What is he going to do?
Because it's outside the restricted area.

So Bonucci didn't react for a moment.

Subsequently.

He immediately realized
This guy's going to use a backstab!
Is this outside the restricted area?
Bonucci was shocked.

He instinctively jumped up to block the shot.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a loud bang.

As the sunlight turned to rush towards the falling football, his gaze was indeed fixed on Bonucci's defense.

If the opponent rushes out, he can easily flick the ball, turn around, and shoot.

But it's a pity.

Bonucci was cautious; he maintained a reasonable distance, allowing the sunlight to shine through and ruining his plan.

But Yang Guang didn't give up on shooting. Since you're not rushing at me, you're thinking of waiting for the ball to fall before coming up.
Then I'll just shoot!

Think of this.

The sunlight almost instinctively made him lean back.

The right foot moves in a circular motion along the hip.

call!
boom!
When he put all his strength into kicking the ball towards the goal.

His body almost completed a backflip, his back parallel to the ground, and the soccer ball flew over his face.
Bonucci jumped instinctively.

But he couldn't head the ball.

The football flew over his shoulder.

Bonucci tilted his head, but that didn't stop the ball from flying past.

Instead, it brushed against his ear, causing a burning pain in his earlobe.

That ball is moving so fast!
Bonucci, who heard the ball disappear from his sight with a whoosh, quickly turned his head.

Buffon had already moved to the near post when he saw Salah's inverted triangle.

After seeing the ball fly out, it quickly moved back to the middle.

He maintained a reasonable stance throughout.

but.

Like Bonucci, he didn't expect anyone to attempt a bicycle kick from outside the penalty area!

not to mention.

His view was also blocked by Bonucci.

By the time he noticed the ball coming, it was completely too late.

Buffon's brain directed his body to lunge to his right.

However, the transmission speed of nerves is limited.

When he reacted.

The football has already grazed the side netting and slipped into the goal from a corner on one side.

"Salah cuts back...Chiellini deflects it, the ball bounces out of the box, sunshine! A bicycle kick! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

The commentary booth erupted in cheers.

The Juventus Stadium was quiet.

The commentators in the commentary booth exclaimed in surprise.

"Goal! Goal! Ahhhhh!"

"A bicycle kick outside the penalty area! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"
