Suddenly, while the Paris Saint-Germain players were still standing outside the penalty area, Chen Xiaoliang rushed towards the goal and shouted at De Gea in a deliberately low voice:
"I told you to jump to the left, why did you gesture to me to jump to the right?!"
De Gea was stunned. He was so worried that he had no idea what Chen Xiaoliang was doing for no reason.
Chen Xiaoliang winked at him twice, and De Gea understood a little and replied tentatively: "Didn't we... agree to dive to the right before...?"
“Be more aggressive… Be more aggressive…!”
Chen Xiaoliang lowered his voice and said the above, then raised it an octave and shouted, "The situation has changed! I have the final say on everything on the field!"
"I'm the captain! You all have to listen to me!"
De Gea immediately became fierce: "It's none of your business how I guard the goal!"
Casemiro, Cesco and other teammates were also stunned at first, wondering why they were arguing at this time, and wanted to go up to persuade them to stop fighting, but as they listened, these two men and Kva stopped the teammates who wanted to go up.
Chen Xiaoliang's "acting skills" were noticed by the three of them.
Mourinho on the sidelines also noticed it, and quickly called Nuno Mendes to tell Mbappe "Don't be disturbed by Chen Xiaoliang's words!"
Nuno Mendes trotted along to deliver the message. At this time, Chen Xiaoliang also left the penalty area under the warning of the referee Osato, but it seemed that there was still anger on his face. Before leaving, he viciously pointed at De Gea's chest with his right index finger, as if to let him remember what he said.
Mbappe ignored Nuno Mendes and blinked, probably as if he heard him. Nuno Mendes was used to his behavior. Anyway, the head coach asked me to convey a message, so I just delivered it and that was it. So he also left the penalty area.
But every penalty kick player, no matter who he is, must face a problem:
Left, center, right, top, center, bottom, where should I kick?
At this time, the words that Chen Xiaoliang had just said to De Gea pierced his ears:
"You all have to listen to me!"
This is the sentence Mbappe hates to hear the most.
In his heart, he is the best player in the world, no doubt about it. He won the World Cup at the age of 18, became the captain of the French national team at the age of 24, and squeezed out the Golden Ball winner Benzema. He almost won another World Cup in Qatar.
Was it his fault that his teammate missed the penalty?
To be fair, it’s really not.
Therefore, anyone who has anything to do with football in this world has to be surrounded by others.
You all have to listen to what I say, he is the only one who has the right to say it.
Thinking of this, he cursed in his heart: What are you talking about, jumping left and right? Can I be led astray by your poor acting skills?
Indeed, Chen Xiaoliang's acting was a bit poor, so poor that not only Kva and Cesco, who knew him well, thought his behavior was too deliberate, but even Casemiro saw it. The three of them realized that Chen Xiaoliang did it on purpose. Although they didn't know why, they believed in their captain.
In order to cooperate with his "performance", he stopped his teammates who were about to step forward to persuade them to stop fighting.
But despite its clumsy nature, the effect is quite obvious.
Mbappe doesn't care about Chen Xiaoliang, but Chen Xiaoliang is the kind of person who will study his opponents carefully on weekdays and before the game.
He saw that Mbappe's biggest enemy was not on the court, but in his heart.
It is easy to defeat the enemy on the court, but it is difficult to defeat the enemy in the heart.
“Beep!”
Osatu whistles!
Fans all over the world held their breath, waiting for Mbappe to take the penalty!
Chen Xiaoliang quickly looked up at the clock on the big screen. It was already 94 minutes and 21 seconds!
Mbappe took a run-up, holding his breath!
What left and right, who do you listen to? I'll do whatever I want!
He took another three-step run-up, short and powerful, and his right foot hit the penalty kick again, but this time, it was not the bottom edge of the ball, but the upper middle part, and it was not on either side, but in the middle!
He saw that De Gea's center of gravity had moved and he was about to dive to the right, so he shot a low ball directly towards the center of the goal!
Zhan Jun: "Mbappe...run-up..."
"Why!!!"
"De Gea!!!"
"Block it with your feet..." (Xie Hui: "More?!" Zhang Lu: "There's a follow-up shot!")
Zhan Jun: "It hit De Gea!"
"Lima rushed in and cleared the ball!"
Guan Zeyuan: "The ball didn't go in! It's incredible!"
Mbappe was dumbfounded. He missed the penalty and even the follow-up shot failed to score.
He stood there without even looking at where the ball flew to behind him, wishing that something in his hand could be thrown to the ground and smashed to pieces.
He even glared at De Gea, thinking: Doesn't this wimp know how to save a penalty? Damn, how come he dived to the side but his feet were still in the middle!
But gradually, he heard the shouts of Manchester United fans in the stands on his own half behind him getting louder and louder. He felt something was wrong and immediately turned around to look. The result really shocked him!
Just now, Lima didn't care that he was a left-footed player. He rushed to the side of the ball and kicked the ball out of the penalty area with his right foot.
As soon as the Manchester United players outside the penalty area saw the ball fly out, they all rushed towards Paris Saint-Germain's frontcourt. They understood that this was their last chance!
B Fee ran slowly and received the ball on the right, and Dybala rushed over to stick to him.
B Fee blocked Dybala with his hand while running forward desperately with the ball.
He ran 20 meters and crossed the center line. Kva, who was moving from the middle to the right, was already in position, and B Fee immediately pushed the ball forward.
Paris Saint-Germain's players are indeed top-notch. Except for Mbappe, everyone else ran back to their own half. Two players even rushed into their own penalty area. Li Gangren ran straight from the penalty area line as if he was risking his life, running with all his strength, because the person he was chasing was Chen Xiaoliang.
Kva received the ball and went straight to the bottom line. Nuno Mendes was already in front of Dolan. Kva saw that the man in the middle who was as fast as the wind and whom he trusted most on the court had rushed into the penalty area, and he made a direct cross with his right foot!
Zhan Jun: "It's Xiaoliang! At the back post!!!"
When Zhan Jun shouted this, it seemed as if blood was about to spurt out of his throat. Guan Zeyuan and Xie Hui in the live broadcast room were just like the Red Country fans who came to support Xiao Liang at Wembley Stadium, shouting "Got it! Got it!"
Chen Xiaoliang did rush to the back point, and Li Gangren indeed had not caught up with him, but Donnarumma judged the path of the ball, and everyone knew that Chen Xiaoliang was the team's number one trump card, so he had already blocked the ball at the near post and in front of Chen Xiaoliang.
Chen Xiaoliang jumps!
Li Gangren rushed to Chen Xiaoliang and knew that he was too late, but he also saw that the angle of the ball was too small. Donnarumma could not be defeated by such a small-angle header!
Zhan Jun: “Header!!!”
"ah!"
"This is……"
“Got it!!!”
"The ball goes in!!! It goes in!!! Casemiro!!!"
The whole Wembley was on fire. Since Paris Saint-Germain's goal in the second half was in the half where Manchester United fans were, when Manchester United players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring a goal, the fans in the stands rushed down like a tide, just to get close to their heroes for a few seconds. Rows of police and security guards could not stop these excited fans at all.
On the streets outside the stadium, one could hear the cheers of fans who were unable to buy tickets or could not afford the expensive tickets in bars and squares. It seemed that the whole city of London was occupied by cheers at this moment!
Dalot, who had just cried after being sent off and then stood on the sidelines watching the penalty, burst into tears again and rushed over to join his teammates in the celebration.
Zhan Jun: "In just a dozen seconds, I experienced a transformation from hell to heaven!"
"Casemiro!"
"He received Chen Xiaoliang's header and rushed into the penalty area to volley the ball, scoring the equalizer!"
"Fat Tiger is like a tiger descending from the mountain today, tearing open the gate guarded by Donnarumma!"
In the camera, after Casemiro hugged his teammates passionately, he yelled several times at the Manchester United fans in the stands.
Guan Zeyuan: "The tiger roars!"
Zhang Lu: "Hahaha! Let's see if either side will have another chance to attack. We should be able to make up for it for about two minutes. A lot of time wasted just now."
Xie Hui: "We still have to be careful, after all, Manchester United is one man short now."
Chen Xiaoliang ran back while shouting to his teammates: "Hurry, hurry, focus on defense!"
The morale now has been completely reversed.
One hand almost touched the trophy, but it was rejected. Just imagine how humiliating and unwilling it was.
Mbappe once again didn't look kindly at his teammates who, in his opinion, didn't defend well, and his teammates were also complaining in their hearts about why he didn't score the penalty just now.
In such a contrasting atmosphere between the two sides, the referee Osato blew the whistle, the regular time ended, and the game was about to enter overtime.
This scene was extremely unacceptable to Paris Saint-Germain. When Mourinho was giving a speech to the Paris Saint-Germain players and reminding them of the tactical points, the players were still not over the depression of being equalized just now.
"We should be celebrating right now, it's all your fault, you selfish bastard!"
Someone shouted at this time. The voice came from the stands behind the Paris Saint-Germain bench. The players didn’t take it seriously at first. After all, being scolded and praised are the norm in their careers. But they didn’t expect the voice to come again, and someone echoed it, “Selfish! Selfish! Selfish!”
Now everyone couldn't help but look back. They saw a burly man with his upper body naked, the French flag and the Paris Saint-Germain logo painted on his chest and face. Judging from his posture, the seat and the ticket price, he was obviously a die-hard fan with money and free time.
Not to mention now, since the summer transfer window of last season, Mbappe insisted on not renewing his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, and his unclear private agreement with Real Madrid has already angered many Paris Saint-Germain fans. In the eyes of these die-hard fans, Mbappe is playing with the club, which is an act of disloyalty and immorality.
This type of fan would like Mbappe to leave as soon as possible.
The team had been performing well, with Mbappe scoring two goals tonight. They should have cheered and celebrated, but they missed the penalty just now and just stood there stupidly, watching their teammates return to defense, until they lost the ball, which made them completely furious.
So there was the behavior of forming teams to make trouble.
This incident itself is nothing big. It is normal for players to be scolded by fans, especially in away games. Star players will be scolded by the opposing home fans throughout the game. But this sentence has penetrated into the hearts of Paris Saint-Germain players.
"We should be celebrating right now, it's all your fault, you selfish bastard!"
The players' expressions began to become ugly, and except for Ashraf, the others no longer communicated with Mbappe through eye contact.
On the other hand, Manchester United is planning how to play in overtime.
However, no matter what the opponent's condition and morale are, it is an ironclad fact that the team is currently playing with one man less.
But the game continues, so we have to attack.
The coaching staff was discussing it, and even called in Chen Xiaoliang and Casemiro to discuss how to arrange the formation and how to use the last two substitutions.
At this time, Cesco came over and said, "Replace me and let Liangzi go to the front. He will definitely lead us to victory!"
Chen Xiaoliang: "The coach is discussing it, don't worry, and if I go to attack, who will defend?"
Casemiro on the side interrupted: "Me!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at B Fee.
B Fee immediately said: "Yes! And me!"
Luke Shaw raised his hand: "As long as you can still move, count me in."
Then, Milinkovic-Savic and Lindelof also raised their hands, and Lima threw the towel on the ground, shouting "If you lose another goal, I'm a pig!"
De Gea came over and gently pushed Chen Xiaoliang. Chen Xiaoliang turned around and saw De Gea saying, "I told you to scold me just now."
When Chen Xiaoliang made the face expression just now, De Gea knew that he was playing psychological warfare. Although he didn't know whether it would work at the time, and even felt that it was a bit fake, everyone in the team had absolute trust in Chen Xiaoliang, so he immediately cooperated.
It was not until the end that Chen Xiaoliang pointed to the center of his chest, and he realized that those things attacking from the left and right were all smoke bombs.
De Gea: "Leave the defense to us."
Seeing that the team had made up their minds, Ten Hag asked Luke Thomas to get ready and replace Cesco.
In this way, Chen Xiaoliang was in the front and Manchester United played a strikerless formation again. B Fee and Kva became the left and right attacking midfielders, Casemiro and Milinkovic were the double defensive midfielders, and behind them was the defense line composed of Luke Shaw, Lima, Lindelof and Luke Thomas.
As usual, the last substitution spot given in overtime should be reserved for Livakovic to face the penalty shootout in case of emergency.
Osatu looked at his watch and saw that the game would continue in 30 seconds, so he blew the whistle as a reminder.
The staff on the sidelines began to remind the players to enter the field.
All the players and coaches of Manchester United gathered together, with Chen Xiaoliang standing in the middle:
"When I entered the game, the guy opposite me told me that he was sure to win tonight."
"I told him that it wasn't him or me who was going to win today, it was 'us'."
"I told him that we have one more thing than them, and that is teamwork."
"Now, I leave the backfield to you! Please also rest assured and leave the frontfield to me!"
"So what if we leave them alone? The championship will definitely be ours!"
Everyone: “Oh!!!!!”
This shout attracted the attention of the entire audience, including Mbappe who had already stepped onto the grass.
He felt disgusted again: Why am I shouting? Will it be useful?
However, when he saw Chen Xiaoliang appear on Manchester United's attacking line, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
After all, the lack of someone who can outrun him means he is not far from a hat trick.
Thinking of this, he felt that there was nothing wrong with overtime. He scored a hat trick and won the first Champions League in his career. Wouldn't that further secure his position as the king of football?
However, less than 5 minutes into overtime, Mbappe discovered a problem.
His teammates rarely pass the ball to him.
On the one hand, they really didn't pass the ball to him, and on the other hand, the Manchester United players defending him were like chicken blood, and they kept harassing him with the close defense that he disliked the most.
For him who likes to rely on speed to get rid of the opponent, it is a necessary prerequisite to have a certain space with the defender when receiving and dribbling the ball.
How can you sprint if you are stuck to your body?
He had no choice but to keep running and changing positions in the frontcourt, getting rid of one person after another who was sticking to him, and shaking off close harassment again and again.
But this undoubtedly increased his physical exhaustion.
Manchester United, with one man less, did not fall behind. Paris Saint-Germain still followed Mourinho's tactics, especially after seeing Chen Xiaoliang coming up, they seriously implemented the strategy of shrinking defense and waiting for opportunities to counterattack.
Mourinho saw Cesco leave the field at the beginning of extra time and replaced Skriniar with Marquinhos. In the 95th minute, he replaced Ugarte, who had a card, with Vitinha. So far, Paris Saint-Germain has replaced five players.
The reason for him to be substituted was nothing else but Chen Xiaoliang, relying on his superhuman physical strength, killing people in the front court, sometimes with long shots, sometimes with forced shots after breakthroughs, which turned the defense upside down and looked like it could collapse at any time.
Mourinho felt more and more uneasy. He had witnessed with his own eyes how Chen Xiaoliang defeated Manchester City in desperate situation. He also knew that the further the game went, the more energy Chen Xiaoliang would unleash.
In order to ensure that he could hold the court, he had to replace the defense with new players and intensify the pressure on Chen Xiaoliang.
But Vitinha's appearance further exacerbated Mbappe's predicament of not being able to get the ball...
This guy, as a midfielder, has a very unique way of thinking. The scenes of him not passing the ball to Mbappe and Messi in open space can be made into a highlight reel.
Watching Kva and B Fee constantly passing the ball to the retreating Chen Xiaoliang, and then Chen Xiaoliang facing Paris Saint-Germain's iron bucket formation in a one-on-one duel, fans on the Internet were also constantly discussing it.
[Is Chen any good? Why does it always feel like he’s a little off?]
[From this perspective, it seems that Mbappe's personal ability (referring to offense) is still a little stronger than Chen's]
[Are you serious, the one above? ]
[Why aren't you serious? Scoring fewer goals than Mbappe in this crucial match doesn't that prove his ability? Go ahead and score if you can! ]
[Does he treat him as Ronaldo or Messi? It's impossible for him to score a goal if he plays like this]
“Beep!”
As the physical decline became more and more obvious, apart from Chen Xiaoliang's personal efforts, the overtime scene was relatively dull. At this time, Osato blew the whistle to end the first half of overtime.
There were no breaks, but players were allowed to go to the sidelines to rehydrate for safety and health reasons.
One minute later, the game continued.
3 to 3, the score flashed glaringly on the big screen, making fans of both sides feel worried and anxious.
Once a penalty kick is scored, it really depends on luck, and the outcome will only be more cruel and ruthless.
Although Verratti and Vitinha were replaced, the defensive abilities of these two players were obviously inferior to Ugarte and Kone, especially Verratti. Although he has excellent organizing and ball-control abilities, defense is not his strong point.
Especially with his small body of 165cm tall and 60kg, he could not withstand the close confrontation with Chen Xiaoliang who seemed to be indestructible. At the beginning of the second half of overtime, he tripped Chen Xiaoliang with a tackle after losing his position and received a yellow card.
What's more, B Fee and Kvadrat are not idle either. They constantly support from the left and right flanks and often switch positions with Chen Xiaoliang, which is also quite threatening.
In the 108th minute, Chen Xiaoliang made a strong breakthrough on the left, passed between Ashraf and Vitinha, then accelerated to shake off Lucas Hernandez, and shot the ball into the goal with his left foot after going down the bottom!
Donnarumma blocked the near corner, raised his hand and touched the ball as quickly as possible. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back with a loud "bang"!
Faced with the increasing defensive pressure behind him, veteran captain Marquinhos couldn't stand it anymore.
He took advantage of a subsequent dead ball and ran to Mbappe to question him why he didn't defend at all. Even if he interfered in the frontcourt, he could slow down the opponent's pace of passing the ball forward.
Mbappe was left speechless. Although he is arrogant, he is not good at verbal arguments. In the long-lasting triangle relationship with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, he has remained silent, letting his agent take the lead. At most, he would post some suggestive but not obvious texts on his personal social media.
Originally he didn't want to pay attention to Marquinhos, but the old captain's words "Look at what the guy on the opposite side has done!" stimulated him again.
His inner monologue is: Isn't it just a breakthrough? I can't do it? Is it worth making such a fuss? Isn't it just for me to defend? Okay, then I'll show you one.
It's just perfect. If I can steal the ball from him, it will prove who is better between me and him!
Soon, the chance Mbappe wanted came.
In the 114th minute, with less than 6 minutes left in the game, Paris Saint-Germain scored the first shot on target in the second half of extra time.
With the double support of Ashraf on the right and Mbappe retreating in the middle, Dybala cut in from the left rib and forced a long shot with an excellent arc, but De Gea, who was fully focused, saved it with an extreme save.
Paris Saint-Germain won a corner kick on the left side.
At this point, everything that needs to be done should be done.
The three central defenders, Marquinhos, Disasi and Lucas Hernandez, all pressed forward, leaving Verratti, Vitinha, Ashraf and Nuno Mendes in the backcourt to watch over Chen Xiaoliang.
Interestingly, Mbappe also retreated to the top of the penalty area, making a posture that allowed him to attack or defend.
Dybala took a tactical corner kick from the left side. Li Gangren, who had been working diligently since coming on the court but had no chance to perform, received the ball and went straight to the left baseline.
Lindelof blocked the way and Li Gangren immediately made a reverse triangle pass!
Milinkovic-Savic retreated towards the small penalty area and blocked the ball with his right foot, but unexpectedly the ball hit B Fee who was defending on the side, and then bounced to the left rear of the penalty spot, where Marquinhos was standing!
Marquinhos kicked the ball towards the right side of the goal!
Lima, who was blocking the goal, lay down to the left side with his hands behind his back and blocked the ball with his stomach!
However, the ball bounced back to Marquinhos' feet again!
No one expected that the ball could go back and forth like this, resulting in Marquinhos still being unguarded!
This time, the old Paris Saint-Germain captain adjusted himself and shot towards the left side of the goal, and it even hit the upper corner!
Lindelof, who had just blocked Li Gangren, ran back, faced the flying ball, jumped up and headed the ball into the sky with his face!
This time, De Gea rushed over and jumped high to grab the ball!
“Hurry up!!!”
B Fee shouted in the penalty area, and De Gea immediately stood up and threw the ball out.
The Paris Saint-Germain players retreated at full speed, and B Fee, who received the ball, immediately pushed the ball to Kva in the center circle!
Kva received the ball, took two steps forward, and Mbappe blocked him!
Although Mbappe's name is known to everyone, he is a pure forward after all, and his defensive ability is just so-so. Kva stopped lightly, suddenly kicked the ball, passed the ball past him and passed it to Chen Xiaoliang who had already run to the front.
Mbappe turned around and saw the ball rolling towards Chen Xiaoliang, and immediately prepared to speed up to chase it!
This was the moment he had been waiting for, to steal the ball from Chen Xiaoliang, then launch a counterattack, score a goal, and finally win the championship and reach the pinnacle of football!
Unexpectedly, for some reason, no one touched him. After running out for only two steps, he slipped and fell forward, landing flat on his face.
“Wow!”
The fans in the stadium did not expect this to happen. Just as Mbappe was prostrating himself, Chen Xiaoliang received the ball.
At this time, Verratti was beside him, and in front, Ashraf, Vitinha and Nuno Mendes were about to meet up and block Chen Xiaoliang's route forward!
But Mbappe's fall just now made the four of them feel a little nervous.
It’s like in the jungle, you and your teammates agreed to hide in the bushes to ambush the opponent, but you didn’t expect that as soon as the opponent’s main force came over, your team’s ADC rushed up, but before he could do anything, he was disconnected and was killed in one second!
I felt psychologically defeated before the fight even started.
Chen Xiaoliang began to accelerate, Verratti chased him one body length behind him, and the other three kept retreating, looking for the right moment to double-team him.
Chen Xiaoliang took two more steps, and seeing that the distance was getting closer, he pushed the ball forward, and the ball passed between Ashraf on the far left and Vitinia in the middle, covering a distance of about 3 meters.
Then, he accelerated suddenly, using his explosive power and confrontation ability to pass through the two people who were defending the door!
“Oh my god!!!”
The fans in the stadium exclaimed! At this time, the Red Country fans could not care about anything else. Almost before Chen Xiaoliang ran two steps, they couldn't help but shout "Fuck!" and the voices were getting louder and louder!
“Fuck!”
“What the hell!!!”
“What the hell!!!!”
After passing through three people, Chen Xiaoliang rushed into the penalty area in one go and had a one-on-one opportunity.
Donnarumma attacked, Chen Xiaoliang twisted his body and kicked a slow but extremely accurate shot towards the far corner with his right foot!
The goalkeeper cannot make a judgment based on his reaction in this position and distance, so Donnarumma can only move his body horizontally to expand the blocking area as much as possible.
But the ball still rolled over the outside of his left leg!
The ball was still rolling in front, but Chen Xiaoliang had already rushed to the edge of the stands!
“What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Red Country fans section completely erupted now, and even General Fan, who was used to big scenes, shouted himself hoarse!
Zhan Jun: "Xiao Liang!!!"
"Xiao Liang!!!"
“115th minute!!!”
“4 to 3!!!”
“This is the Champions League final!!!”
"After 115 minutes of fierce fighting, Xiaoliang once again used his extreme physical strength and speed to dribble the ball away from four defenders and scored what could have been a buzzer-beater!!!"
“Today he didn’t collapse from fighting to the last minute like he did last year!”
"But he is the same today as he was last year! Red Guo Xiaoliang! No one can stop him!"
Among the four commentators in the live broadcast room, Zhan Jun was the only one who could still organize his words at this time.
Zhang Lu was just like usual, when he got excited all he could say was “Hehehaha uh uh ahhh.”
Guan Zeyuan wanted to recite a poem or make a counterattack, but he couldn't say anything for a moment. After all, he was not a full-time football commentator. When he heard Zhan Jun say "block", his mouth made two "dangdang" sounds and he almost said "dang ligedang".
According to Xie Hui, who calmed down a little later, "This is a player from our own country! He is the pride of our people! Watching him score in a game like the Champions League final is more exciting than watching any superstar score a goal! It makes you forget yourself!"
"This feeling cannot be described in words!"
On the sidelines of the game, the head coach was no longer the only one standing. At this point, the rest of the teammates and coaching staff all stood up.
As soon as the ball went in, almost everyone on Manchester United's side rushed towards Chen Xiaoliang and hugged him tightly!
Television stations and online platforms around the world kept repeating the super goal. Those fans who had previously questioned Chen Xiaoliang's personal ability now shut up!
I have to admit it!
You can't refuse to accept it!
And the strongest contrast is the moment when Chen Xiaoliang received the ball and started, Mbappe fell forward comically and awkwardly!
This scene was constantly replayed on the screen together with the super goal that followed!
【Boom boom boom! 】
【Two goals scored】
[The God's Descent has been activated, all technical attributes +1]
After Chen Xiaoliang finished celebrating, he noticed the system prompt.
He was all smiles and was very happy to have scored such a goal.
Moreover, he had never expected that the [Gerrard Slip Card] he had used in a desperate situation when Mbappe took the penalty kick would actually come in handy at this moment...
Moreover, today's game is different from last year's. At this moment, he no longer needs to rely on one star card after another to force the disadvantaged team to prolong its life.
He has stronger abilities, better leadership, a better platform, and stronger teammates!
But the game is not over yet, what we have to do now is to defend these last 4 minutes!
When the ball was kicked off again, it was already 116 minutes and 11 seconds.
Mourinho didn't wait any longer. He replaced Disasi with Asensio who had been waiting for the whole game.
He is going to attack violently.
If he was furious when Manchester United counterattacked and scored the equalizer before the end of regular time, now he really doesn't blame his players at all.
Because he knew that it was impossible to ask any player to defend Chen Xiaoliang.
But Manchester United also has weaknesses, and he still has opportunities. He believes he can create miracles, just as he did with Porto, Inter Milan and Roma.
At 116 minutes and 21 seconds, Paris Saint-Germain scored.
Ashraf made a crazy forward run, still trying to find Mbappe.
Mbappe also "woke up" at this time. Winning the game is the first thing to do. If he can't win, he will be the uncrowned king.
Knowing that he was not at an advantage in the penalty area, he took the initiative to move to the right side.
Ashraf made a straight pass, Mbappe received the ball, leaned on Luke Shaw and tried to force his way to the bottom line.
Both of them were running out of energy. Mbappe was slightly better since he had just been lying on the ground for a while.
Seeing that Mbappe might overtake him, Luke Shaw made a pulling motion with his hand.
Mbappe fell down, and at the same time he did not forget to deliberately kick Luke Shaw's left foot with his left foot.
This acting was amazing. Osato immediately awarded Paris Saint-Germain a free kick. The penalty spot was outside the right sideline of Manchester United's penalty area, about 1.5 meters away from the bottom line.
Of course, the best free kick on the right side is taken by a left-footed player.
Dybala stood up.
This time, no one from the leading Manchester United was ready to counterattack in the front, including Chen Xiaoliang, and all the players retreated, while all the players from Paris Saint-Germain except the goalkeeper also came up.
“Beep!”
Referee Osato blew the whistle!
Dybala repeatedly watched the running in the penalty area, which made players from both sides keep going back and forth in the penalty area. After all, the ball was almost touching the bottom line, and there was no offside. Almost everywhere in the penalty area was an area where the ball could be received and attacked.
Unexpectedly, this Argentine, who was regarded as Messi's shadow on the bench in the national team, used two steps to run up and scored a free kick that astonished everyone and became famous all over the world!
Zhan Jun: "This ball..."
“This ball goes in!!!”
"What an up-and-down game tonight!"
"Dybala's world wave! He was at the extreme position of 0 degrees, and unexpectedly chose to shoot directly from the free kick!"
"The Manchester United fans who were looking forward to victory just now were suddenly silent!"
"And the Paris Saint-Germain fans, who had been in agony for only a few minutes, now saw the light of day again!"
"4 to 4! The two sides actually tied again before the end of overtime!"
Guan Zeyuan: "It looks like a penalty kick is needed. I feel like this game is a matter of fate."
Zhang Lu: "No time, right?"
Guan Zeyuan: "It will take 118 minutes to kick off after the celebration. If I am not mistaken, there will be no extra time in overtime. The whistle will be blown at 120 minutes."
Xie Hui: “Yes, no extra time will be awarded.”
The truth was even worse than the commentary said. If a goal was scored at this moment, Paris Saint-Germain's celebration would definitely not be hasty. Osato and the linesman had a lot of arguments before the Paris Saint-Germain players came back.
However, unlike the players who were having a blast, although Mourinho did not persuade the players to end the celebration because he also wanted to kill some time, he kept yelling at them to remind them to pay attention to defense when they returned to the field.
He now understands that the best way to contain Chen Xiaoliang is to drag the game into a penalty shootout!
In this way, no matter how strong Chen Xiaoliang is, he, like everyone else, only has one chance to take a penalty kick!
When the ball was kicked off again, it was already 118 minutes and 32 seconds.
Theoretically, Manchester United only has 1 minute and 28 seconds left.
Before kick-off, even De Gea, who had been on the team the longest, gave up his illusions and was ready to accept the substitution, letting Livakovic replace himself to prepare for the brutal penalty shootout.
However, substitutions also take time, and Chen Xiaoliang used gestures to stop Ten Hag from making substitutions.
Ten Hah knew that Chen Xiaoliang meant to seize the time and fight for one last try, and he agreed, but he still felt a little unhappy and uneasy.
Although no one can guarantee that Livakovic will win the penalty shootout.
But Livakovic said what was in his heart: "Coach, it's okay, I believe in the captain."
Ten Hahe nodded.
Indeed, isn’t it these two words that have brought us all together to where we are today, isn’t it?
Chen Xiaoliang raised his right hand and his teammates saw his gesture.
Immediately, except for the two full-backs Luke and Luke Jr., the rest of the players lined up on the center line.
Zhan Jun: "Xiaoliang doesn't accept the penalty! Manchester United is going to go all out and fight for the last chance!"
On the field, Chen Xiaoliang kicked the ball out and pushed it to Casemiro next to him, and then Casemiro pushed the ball back to him. All the players on the center line rushed towards the penalty area of ​​Paris Saint-Germain like a tide!
The players of Paris Saint-Germain had just come back from a desperate situation. Seeing Manchester United's desperate style of play, they no longer had any hope and all retreated, including Mbappe, who "condescended" to retreat to his own half.
Chen Xiaoliang started to advance with the ball, assisted by the two Lukes on the left and right sides.
12 seconds later, Chen Xiaoliang, who was approaching the attacking third zone, was faced with Mbappe, Dybala and Vitinha.
Chen Xiaoliang glanced at Dybala and found that his eyes were particularly determined at the moment.
He understands Dybala, an unyielding fighter with ideals.
But in a football match, there can only be one winner!
In the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area, seven Manchester United players have been spread out in various places.
Chen Xiaoliang took a glance, kicked the ball with his right foot, and passed a mid-range half-high ball to the right side of the penalty area.
No. 7 passed to No. 77!
That was the teammate he spent every day with, trained with, had the best understanding with, and whom he absolutely trusted!
Kwa rushed forward and took the ball. At this time, he was on the right side of the penalty area near the sideline.
The three people who were defending Chen Xiaoliang just now - Mbappe, Dybala and Vitinha - ran back a few steps and saw where the ball landed, but when they looked back again, they found that Chen Xiaoliang was gone!
Mourinho only remembered where he had seen this scene before: a young man rushed towards the penalty area at full speed at a speed that surprised him, in the final stage of the game, when everyone thought there was no hope!
He couldn't help but take a half step back, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
That moment seemed like years of suffering!
Kwa stopped and calmly kicked a half-high ball with his right foot to the left side of the penalty spot.
When the ball flew up, countless people were puzzled.
Why spread it there? There is no one there!
But just one second later, a figure appeared like lightning in the live broadcast camera!
Now, Mourinho finally remembered it!
He wanted to yell at his players to defend, but with his mouth open, he couldn't utter a word.
He took another half step back, staggered, and sat directly on the bench.
That was 4 years ago. A young man stood in front of him and scored a winning header with his unyielding will, continuous running, lightning-fast sprint and exaggerated bounce!
And it was because of that buzzer-beater that he signed the young man!
Now, the teenager has grown into a superstar. Once again, in front of him, he rushed into the penalty area in almost the same way, jumped and glided in front of the densely packed defensive players, and then flew higher than the crossbar and hit the ball heavily with his forehead.
Finally, the ball hit the goal like a meteor.
Donnarumma, who was diving sideways and backwards trying to retrieve the ball, also fell into the goal .
Mourinho knew that it was he who started it all, and then today, with his own failure, he sent this young man to the pinnacle of today's football.
The moment the clock struck 119 minutes, countless people cried.
Chen Xiaoliang rushed to the sidelines, jumped high, and punched hard. At this moment, the "KING" shouted by all the Manchester United fans along with his punch seemed extremely appropriate and timely.
This is the coronation ceremony of the new king.
His teammates rushed over, but no one went up to hug him. Instead, they bent down and put their hands down behind his back in worship.
On the other side, Mbappe sat on the lawn, not saying a word.
He knew he had lost, just like everyone who supported Paris Saint-Germain, who knew they had completely lost.
His most hated opponent, the opponent he wanted to beat the most, used a hat trick and two assists to completely prove to the world who is the best player in today's football.
Haaland, who ate three hot dogs in a row at home and achieved a hot dog hat trick, had already realized this and was cheering and applauding a Manchester United captain in front of his father.
When the game started again, Paris Saint-Germain, who was already listless, had just kicked the ball out when Osato blew the whistle.
This time, Chen Xiaoliang did not sprint or shout again. Instead, he stood in the middle of the court with his arms open, quietly listening to the praise and applause from the whole world, and the admiration and recognition of the sportsmanship of never giving up until the last moment.
At this moment, Paris Saint-Germain fans let go of all their obsessions and gave the most sincere applause to the player who won the well-deserved honor with his unparalleled performance.
Journalists around the world are busy editing and publishing the latest press releases about the competition.
No one connected or arranged it, but everyone used the word "first" without any prior agreement.
"The best in the world, well deserved"
"The undefeated triple champion, the undisputed number one today"
"The next Melo era? No, this era belongs to him alone"
"58 goals + 41 assists + unbeaten triple crown, the debate over who is the best has come to an end"
At this moment, as the commentator said before, no amount of praise can describe its greatness.
And everyone knows that Chen Xiaoliang, who just turned 20 five days ago, has an immeasurable future!
