Chapter 106 Digan Has a Big Heart

Chapter 106 Digan Has a Big Heart

The 90,000 fans in the Camp Nou had no one to sit at this moment. Everyone knew that this was the moment that would determine the final outcome of the game. If the goal was scored, both sides would enter overtime. If the penalty was missed If this is the case, AC Milan's journey this season will end here, and Barcelona will enter the final, and Arsenal, which eliminated Villarreal yesterday, will compete for the championship honor.

Rijkaard stood next to the fourth official, constantly reminding him that the game time is up, but obviously, for this kind of heavyweight game, even if stoppage time is up, the referee will definitely let AC Milan Get the ball out.

Rijkaard, who has always been stable, can't help but feel anxious now. After all, this is the first time he really has the opportunity to touch the supreme honor of the European club.

Anyone who is familiar with Rijkaard knows that when he was a player, he was well versed in the concept of Total Football in the Netherlands, especially when he was under the command of the founder of this concept Michels, he understood the concept of Total Football Very profound.

After retiring, he became the assistant coach of Hiddink of the Dutch team in 1998. In 1998, he won the fourth place in the World Cup in France. In August of the same year, he replaced Hiddink as the head coach of the Dutch team. When he led the Dutch national team to fight, he fully implanted his insights into the team. The Dutch team reached the semi-finals with unstoppable momentum. They swept the former Yugoslavia 6-1 in the previous game. It seems that the championship is close very close.

But maybe in order to test this young coach, God made a joke with the Dutch team in the semi-finals with Italy. In the end, the Netherlands was defeated by the Italian defense and stopped the semi-finals. Rijkaard also left the position of coach angrily. During the coaching period, he led the Dutch team in 22 games, with a record of 8 wins, 12 draws and 2 losses.

In the 2001/02 season, Rijkaard served as the coach of Rotterdam in the Eredivisie League. Because he led the team to only 34 matches, 4 wins, 12 draws and 18 losses, he ranked second from the bottom with 24 points, and was relegated together with Fortuna. After that, he resigned and left.

Although he did not have a brilliant record in coaching, he was still favored by Barcelona club owner Laporta. On June 24, 2003, he officially replaced Antić as the head coach of Barcelona.

After coming to Barcelona, ​​Black Swan continued to stick to his philosophy. He encountered a lot of trouble at the beginning. The team's record was not good, and he was under great pressure.

In the 2004/2005 season, after the introduction of many urgently needed players, Rijkaard's Catalan army began to show its power. Although the Blues lost in the Champions League quarter-finals, the Blues bid farewell to the European arena prematurely, but Barcelona finally won. This season's league championship trophy.

Since the start of the new season, Barcelona has been going smoothly, successfully defending the league title, and the Champions League has reached the semi-finals, only one step away from the final.

"At the last moment of the game, this is the last chance for AC Milan. Both Digan and Pirlo stood in front of the ball. If the ball can be scored, the two sides will enter overtime. AC Milan wins, and it will be two consecutive games. Into the final of the UEFA Champions League in 1991, if Barcelona wins, they will have another chance to compete for the honor of this event after 14 years. The last time Barcelona reached the final was in the 1991/1992 season. With Koeman's goal, they defeated Sampdoria, also from Italy, this time, can they get past the hurdle of AC Milan?"

"The game is actually over, but the referee seems to be going to give the Milanese a little more time. This is obviously unfair to Barcelona. At this time, we should have celebrated the victory, but now we have to suffer this final suffering!"

In front of Barcelona's goal, Valdez squatted down, staring at Pirlo and Digan in front of the ball, not daring to neglect.

He is a native of Barcelona, ​​and like many young people who love football, from the day he entered the La Masia training camp, he has been looking forward to playing for Barcelona all the time.

From the age of 13 to 19, the experience of the La Masia training camp left Valdés with unforgettable memories. During this period, he won the national junior championship and youth championship with Barcelona.

In the 2002/2003 season, the then Barcelona coach Van Gaal immediately fell in love with this young man who was not tall, but quick-witted and good at commanding defenses, and promoted him from the second team to the star-studded first team.

In the 2003/2004 season, the arrival of Rijkaard gave Valdes new expectations, but Rustu's joining cast a shadow on the main prospect of the rookie.

During Barcelona's US trip in the summer of 2004, Rustu, who started as a starter, performed well at the beginning, but the injury in the game against Juventus became a negative turning point in the Turks' career.

During his recuperation days, Valdés quickly won Rijkaard's heart with his outstanding performance, coupled with Rustu's repeated fatal mistakes in the only chance to play. In the end, a 21-year-old young man squeezed out the 2002 World Cup star goalkeeper, and firmly established himself in a giant like Barcelona.

Last season, Valdez helped Barcelona win their first league title in six years, and he himself won his first Zamora Award.

Now he wants to go one step further, he is eager to obtain that supreme honor, and at this moment, there is only the last second left before the final.

As the main goalkeeper of Barcelona, ​​he has done a lot of preparations before the start of the game. Naturally, he knows that the best free throw shooters in AC Milan are Pirlo and Digan. Volleying vigorously, Valdes quickly recalled the free kick style of the two in his mind, and his eyes became more sharp.

Degan felt Valdez's fierce gaze, just smiled lightly, took a deep breath, and while moving his ankles, he waited for the referee's whistle.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Pirlo at the far end stepped on small steps and ran towards the football. The Barcelona players who built the human wall were immediately ready.

Valdés also started to move towards the far post. He could feel that the ball was kicked by Pirlo. If it was Digan, a strong free kick without a run-up would not produce much threat at all.

But at this moment~~~~~~

Digan moved too!

He just stood there, swung his legs lightly, wrapped the football inside his foot, and kicked it out!

What! ?

Valdés was shocked, his center of gravity had moved towards the far end of the goal, but Digan's ball was indeed aimed at a close corner, the ball was not fast, as if it was gently picked up by someone, it drew an arc, from Caught off guard, the wall of people who didn't even have time to jump jumped over their heads.

Valdés tried his best to adjust his center of gravity, but he couldn't do it. His legs softened and he fell to the ground. When he turned his head, he found desperately that the football had rubbed against the crossbar and fell into the goal. .

That football seemed to be mocking him, he moved his position ahead of time, but what happened?

Degan kicked the ball in an almost humiliating way. Does this kind of ball require any special skills and superb footwork?

No need!

All you need is a big heart, a big heart that dares to take responsibility.

The entire Camp Nou was silent at this moment, and even the referee forgot to blow the whistle, with the whistle in his mouth, staring at the football dumbfounded.

In such an important game, Degan used a shot like a spoon to deal with AC Milan's last chance.

"The ball~~~~~~ scored! The ball scored!"

Italian commentary was first reflected, and then shouted loudly, and sent out his iconic: "Goal! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Bian pulled back, scoop free kick, scoop free kick, Degan tricked all the Barcelona players! He did it! He did it!"

Digan stood on the spot, opened his arms, looked up at the deep sky, and enjoyed the moment quietly, and soon Pirlo, Kaka, Rui Costa and others rushed up, one by one He pounced, and more and more AC Milan players joined the celebration. In the last second of the game, he scored such a goal worth tens of thousands of dollars. At this time, if anyone can hold back, that is the real thing crazy.

Ancelotti on the sidelines also heaved a sigh of relief, as if all the strength in his body had been drained. If Tassotti hadn't stepped forward in time to hug him, Ancelotti might have They're all going to collapse on the ground.

"Carlo! We scored! We're not fucking dead! We're not dead!"

Ancelotti let Tassotti shout in his ear, looked at Digan who was being pushed down by his teammates, and at this moment he also sighed in his heart: If that kid is not a thorn How good it would be if it was a head!

Before the game, Ancelotti thought that Degan would score a goal, but he didn't expect that at this critical moment, a goal would save him.

Ancelotti can't tell what it feels like to be saved by the person he hates the most.

Ancelotti felt that he should be happy, but he couldn't be happy.

Rijkaard held his head in his hands, his eyes were full of disbelief. He was just one step away from the final, but now he was pulled back by Digan's incredible free kick.

"That boy! He is simply a lunatic!"

Degan is indeed a lunatic. At the last moment, when Milan took a free kick, Degan actually chose a shooting method as if he was having fun. If Valdés hadn't made a mistake in his judgment and moved ahead of time, he would be considered a child. They can save the ball.

If he fails to get in, Degan will definitely become a sinner for the entire city of Milan. At that time, the fans' verbal criticism will crush him to death, but Degan actually did this. When it became difficult, Degan just showed people what kind of big heart he has.

The Barcelona players surrounded the referee and protested loudly. They were protesting that stoppage time had passed before Degan took a free kick just now.

This is almost the habit of Barcelona players. No matter what the referee's penalty is, as long as it is not good for them, they will protest, endless protest, non-stop protest, protest until the sea is dead.

In the future, their descendants will carry forward this tradition even more. Buscos, Pedro and others are better than blue, each of them interpreted the protest to the extreme.

But today's German referee Merck obviously didn't pay attention to these nonsense. He was also impressed by Digan's big heart at the moment, and he firmly made a gesture to score a goal. He extended stoppage time without any mistakes, saying He also has a reason to come out of the sky.

The goal is valid!

In the two rounds, the two sides fought 1:1 and ended in a tie!

The game will enter overtime!

The Barcelona fans in the stands looked like mourners. They couldn't believe what happened in front of them. Degan kicked a free kick and humiliated the whole of Catalonia.

Thousands of Milan fans who came with the team were cheering. At this time, no one was going to fight Digan again. All they cared about was the team's victory or loss.

The Wright family in the stands, as well as the two future daughter-in-laws, Caroline and Avril Lavigne, also jumped up, hugged each other tightly, and celebrated loudly.

The craziest one was naturally Avril Lavigne, who gave Caroline a hot kiss, and then vigorously waved her small fist towards the court: "Rod! Kill Barcelona! Rhode! Kill Barcelona!"

Whether you are happy or depressed, you can only accept this reality at the moment. When Barcelona was only one step away from the final, it was kicked back to the starting line by Digan and turned its head. Digan, who was found wearing AC Milan fans, was smiling cheaply at them.

There was no rest time, and overtime began immediately. Digan was picked up by Kakara, and the two brothers hugged each other heavily.

"Good job! Rhodes!"

Digan still smiled faintly, as if he hadn't done anything extraordinary: "As I said just now, I can kick in!"

Kaka kept Digan's head with a smile, and rubbed vigorously: "Rod! Don't leave any regrets!"

Digan smiled: "Of course!"
