Chapter 120: Advance to the Champions League final!
Chelsea advanced to the Champions League final for the first time in history, and the Magic Birds were very happy at the post-match press conference: "We achieved our established goals and achieved a great, historic victory at home. Now we have set our goals on the championship!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, our opponent in the final will be Real Madrid. I am confident to lead the team to defeat them at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow and bring the first Champions League trophy in history to Stamford Bridge!"
"The Champions League final is not unfamiliar to me. Four years ago, I led Porto to the final and defeated his opponent in the final to win the championship! Helping Porto win the cup for the second time in history!"
"Chelsea is more eager to win this trophy than anyone else!"
“I will help them realize their dreams!”
A reporter interpreted what Mourinho said, believing that he implied that Schuster had worse experience in the Champions League than him and that he had more hope of winning in the final.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of the 30th, at the pre-match press conference between Real Madrid and Barcelona, a reporter asked Schuster what he thought of Mourinho's remarks. The coach of Real Madrid said: "First of all, congratulations to Chelsea on entering the finals. Although this is my first time leading the team to play in the Champions League, there are many players in our team and they are not unfamiliar with the Champions League finals. Don had great performances in the Champions League finals in the first two seasons. Henry, Casillas and others have also participated in the Champions League finals."
"Four years ago, Mr. Mourinho succeeded in leading the team to the finals for the first time. Before that, he himself had no experience in leading the team to the Champions League finals. He can succeed, and I can succeed too. Everyone has the first time!"
"Mr. Mourinho believes that Chelsea is more eager to win the Champions League trophy than anyone else, and he is wrong. Don't talk about me. Even my players disagree with him. When I was on the phone with Don last night, he told me that he was confident that he would lead the team to succeed in the finals because it was his promise to Real Madrid fans."
As soon as Schuster finished speaking, he won applause from the Spanish media off the audience!
...
At 6:00 p.m., the buses of players from both sides drove into the Bernabeu Stadium. Tang Jue walked off the bus and supported his head coach in an interview with the media: "Mr. Schuster is rigorous in his work and is a great coach. Although this is his first time leading the team to compete in the Champions League, we have seen his greatness. It is him who guided us to find the right way forward."
"No one can stop us from a determination to win the championship. I will fulfill my promise to Real Madrid fans. I want to let the title of "Real Madrid New Era" be legitimately worn on the team!"
At 7:30, the starting players of both sides appeared in the player channel. Tang Jue took the initiative to hug Puyol, and the atmosphere on both sides was very good. The ending has been confirmed. Even a proud guy like Etoo took the initiative to hug Real Madrid players. Many years later, Etoo wrote in his autobiography:
"The first leg of the semi-finals defeat, Don made us lower our noble heads. In the Bernabeu player channel, the atmosphere of the players on both sides was very good. I took the initiative to hug Casillas, Cannavaro and others. When hugging Don, I told him that congratulations on their approaching the finals to compete with Chelsea."
"This guy who is more proud than me. I tell me clearly that Barcelona is stronger than Chelsea. Real Madrid can defeat Barcelona and also defeat Chelsea. He is always so confident, as if there is nothing he can't do in this world. I wanted to refute him at the time, but I couldn't find the right evidence, so I had to pat him on the shoulder and wish him to win the Champions League championship for three consecutive years."
At this time, the Bernabeu, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, is full. Real Madrid fans support their team with their actions. Barcelona has few fans, and the "crazy boy" has not come. It is not that they are unwilling to come, but that the Madrid police prohibit them from coming.
The fans clash a week ago made the Madrid police very alert. In order to avoid the conflict, the police issued a qualification to ban the "crazy boys" from going to the Bernabeu to watch the game. The "crazy boys" did not object to the unreasonable ban order of the Madrid police because several of their leaders were still lying in the hospital. The group had no leader, so they had to stay in Barcelona and sit in front of the TV to watch the game.
Players from both sides walked into the Bernabeu Stadium with caddies, and cheers like tsunamis came to their faces. To the north of the stadium, where UltrasSur organized the organization was located, they put out a banner: Let's meet at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow!
Tang Jue turned his head to look at the eye-catching banner. Diani, who was standing behind the banner, turned his gaze to him at this time. The two of them met in the air, without sparks or smiling, but just looked at each other silently. Tang Jue suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at him with his index finger.
Diani was not willing to be outdone, and also stretched out his index finger to point at Tang Jue. Henry shook his head. He couldn't figure out when the hatred between the two would be resolved.
Real Madrid fans have put out banners to express their feelings:
"Triple Crown! This is our common goal!"
"Great Don, we need the Champions League trophy!"
"Dang, you said that to bring us the Champions League trophy, it's time to fulfill your promise!"
"Tang, we long for the title of 'Real Madrid'!"
...
At 7:45, the match between the two sides officially started!
First of all, Real Madrid, serving, slowed down the pace. They could advance tonight's game as long as they were not defeated. They were not in a hurry. If Barcelona wants to advance, they had to win five goals here. Is this possible? So Barcelona is not in a hurry, and both sides are playing slowly.
In the stands, Real Madrid fans began to entertain themselves and started playing the Mexican wave. Their main purpose of coming here tonight was to wait until time passed and celebrate that their team reached the Champions League final again after six years.
As time passed, both sides slowly entered the game state. In the fifteenth minute, Etoo threw away Guti in front of the penalty area, flashed out of the shooting space, pulled his feet and shot out, and the football missed the goal. This shot opened the prelude to both sides' offensive attacks. In the following game, both sides fought against football.
That's right, since the ending cannot be changed, it's better to offer a wonderful offensive battle to the fans.
In the 19th minute, Real Madrid played a high-quality positional battle. Four people in the frontcourt passed the ball with a quick kick. Tang Jue finally passed the ball into the penalty area. Ribery arrived and shot with a strong shot. The ball passed through Valdes' ten fingers and the score became one-to-zero.
Five minutes later, Barcelona returned with a color, Puyol pushed the corner kick from Xavi into the goal, and the score became one-to-one.
In the 36th minute, Pique knocked Henry down outside the penalty area, and Real Madrid got a direct free kick opportunity. Tang Jue stood behind the football. Real Madrid fans shouted in unison: "In one! In one! In one!"
They hope that Tang Jue can tie the Champions League goals or even surpass last season.
Amid the huge shouts of fans, Tang Jue breathed a long breath, quickly entered his own world, and jogged slowly towards football.
"Bang!..." With a crisp sound, the football took off from the turf. He walked around the human wall and drew a wonderful curve in the air, and flew into the goal from the upper left corner of the goal!
The ball has entered!
The score became two to one, and Real Madrid took the lead again!
Tang Jue scored 18 goals in the Champions League, three goals left before last season's record. There were huge cheers in the stands, and fans believed that this goal was due to their contributions. This feeling of participating in the goal was unparalleled!
After the goal, Tang Jue waved his arms to signal the fans to cheer louder. The fans cooperated very well and they made louder cheers. In the subsequent games, both sides launched threatening attacks many times, but with the efforts of goalkeepers on both sides, the score was kept until the end of the first half.
After fifteen minutes of rest, both sides returned to the court and presented a wonderful offensive battle for the fans. In the second minute of the second half, Messi successfully broke through on the right, throwing away Cannavaro in front of him. He shot a tricky shot from the penalty area line and broke through the goal guarded by Casillas. The score became two-to-two!
Real Madrid fans are not stingy with their applause and applaud the core of Barcelona's future.
Tang Jue is unwilling to fall behind. In the 19th minute of the second half, he began to break through from Barcelona's hinterland. He threw Innista, Deco and Pique behind him one after another, and finally faced the Lion King Puyol. With his right shoulder, he would forcefully throw away the Barcelona captain with speed!
Puyor has a very strong sense of position, and he is tightly attached to Tang Jue's inside and is not thrown away. However, this still does not prevent Tang Jue from completing the shot. After advancing into the penalty area, he raised his right foot and made a heavy cannon with great force!
A white light flashed like lightning!
Immediately afterwards, the football scored the goal net at a speed that exceeded people's reaction!
The ball has entered!
The score became three to two!
Tang Jue scored nineteen goals in the Champions League, only two away from last season's goals. Thunderous applause sounded again in the stands, and the joys were thunderous!
In the subsequent games, exciting scenes continued to appear, sharp breakthroughs and exquisite cooperation made the fans excited. In the 28th minute of the second half, Schuster replaced Tang Jue with Van Nie. Real Madrid fans gave them huge applause. Recently, there have been rumors that Van Nie will leave the Bernabeu next season.
Real Madrid fans gave great applause to this meritorious star who brought honor to Real Madrid, and some fans played banners: Fanny, thank you for everything you did for Real Madrid!
Fanny's eyes were a little wet. Looking at Tang Jue running towards him, he felt sad in his heart. Time was like a knife, and no one could escape the laws of nature. His own era has passed, and this world belongs to the younger generation.
In the 40th minute of the second half, Zambrota assisted and passed the ball to Real Madrid's penalty area. Etoo threw away Cannavaro with his speed and successfully shot, turning the score into three to three. In the first minute of stoppage time, Van Nie successfully grabbed the spot in the penalty area and turned the score into four to three, bringing a perfect end to his career at Real Madrid.
One minute later, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, and the two sides ended the game four-to-three. Real Madrid advanced to the Champions League final with a huge gap of 10-4!
TVE commentator Antonini said loudly: "The game is over. Both sides are quite friendly in this game, without a yellow card or red card. Real Madrid successfully advanced to the final. On May 21, they will play the final with Premier League powerhouse Chelsea at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the capital of Russia!
"They are only one step away from the Triple Crown!"
Chapter completed!
