Chapter 607 Da Fengxian

Bruno was not happy at all, because he knew that the team's current condition was very bad. His teammates' condition was not really good, but a kind of morbid excitement, or to be more precise, it should be called a last gasp.

As he walked towards the opposite half with his head down, he was thinking about how the team would play in the second half of overtime.

The team played well in the first half because we had clear ideas, but what about the second half?

Counterattack? To be honest, Bruno observed for fifteen minutes and felt that the team simply did not have the extra energy to launch such a sharp and fast attack. Rashford, Harry Kane and Gundogan could hardly run. If they only relied on Ibrahimovic and himself, it would be impossible to break through the Real Madrid defense.

As for Valencia and Cancelo on the defensive line, they were also severely exhausted and were no longer able to participate in the team's offense.

If we continue to defend, it will be in vain even if we wait until the penalty shootout.

Although Romero has a good ability to save penalties, he is undoubtedly far behind Navas, who is famous for saving penalties.

This seemed to be a battle doomed to failure, and all their efforts only increased the time of failure from ninety minutes to one hundred and twenty minutes.

Many people will feel that such struggle is meaningless when they think about this, and may even lose their fighting spirit.

I absolutely cannot let my teammates have such emotions, so even if I am alone in the second half, I must try to launch some counterattacks to boost everyone's morale.

………………

The second half of the extra time began with the referee's whistle. The commentator sighed: "It's already 105 minutes... It's really beyond everyone's expectations that this game has reached this point."

"Although Real Madrid has performed poorly in La Liga this season, they are very strong in the Champions League. Even when they faced the powerful Juventus and Bayern Munich, Real Madrid crushed them strongly, showing the power of the Champions League king."

"Of course, Manchester United is also very strong. They have created too many magical records this season, such as winning the Premier League title unbeaten, setting a record of 104 points, and remaining unbeaten in all competitions until now... All Manchester United fans are shouting that Manchester United is invincible and unbeatable."

"But today's Champions League final has shown the whole world that neither of these two teams is invincible! Manchester United will also concede three goals to their opponent in a game! Real Madrid will also concede goals to their opponent even when they have all the advantages! Both teams have strong lineups and are full of stars, but these stars are also human beings. They will not be able to find any chances to score when facing the opponent's stubborn defense..."

………………

The second half of the game began, Manchester United was still on the defensive, and Real Madrid continued to attack.

"Real Madrid's attack is like a tide! They have a chance to break through Manchester United's goal within these fifteen minutes!" The Spanish commentator said the same thing at the beginning of the first half of extra time.

"Marcelo is coming! He's coming! Cross!!"

The ball was passed to the front of the goal by Marcelo. Manchester United's defenders were entangled with Real Madrid's offensive players. Facing Van Dijk's defense, Ronaldo was not at an advantage when competing for the high ball, so the ball was easily headed out by Van Dijk.

However, Real Madrid's attack did not end there. They intercepted the ball on the periphery and continued their attack.

In the first five minutes, Manchester United's defense was successful. But as the physical strength of Manchester United players declined, their disadvantages began to become more and more obvious.

Everyone can see that in some balls, Manchester United's players are obviously closer, but in the end it is the Real Madrid players who get the ball. They use their skillful passing skills to save a lot of energy, while Manchester United has no other choice but to run back and forth.

"Manchester United is at a point where it could collapse at any time!" the Spanish commentator announced excitedly.

………………

This is indeed the case. When Manchester United players have no physical strength left, their defense naturally has many loopholes.

In the 113th minute, Real Madrid organized an attack.

In the past, Manchester United's frontal defense was well organized, but this time it was not the case. Gundogan did not keep up with Modric's rhythm in the first place, allowing the Croatian midfielder to seize the opportunity and suddenly pass the ball over the top. The ball flew over the head of central defender Van Dijk and fell directly behind them!

At the same time, Bale suddenly rushed forward and created a one-on-one situation!

Fortunately, goalkeeper Romero judged it in advance, and decisively abandoned the goal and punched the ball out before Bale!

"It's so dangerous!"

"What a beautiful strike!"

"It looks like Manchester United has really reached the end of their rope... The goalkeeper ran to the penalty area to save the ball, which is not common in previous games..."

………………

Just when the commentators were all praising Real Madrid's sharp attack and Manchester United was already at the end of its strength, this Premier League triple crown team suddenly opened its bloody mouth and showed its fangs to everyone.

Romero saved the ball, but Kroos got ahead of Cancelo and passed the ball to Asensio.

Just as Real Madrid's talented new star was about to receive the ball, a figure came over very forcefully, pushed Asensio away and snatched the ball.

"Kante!"

Kante completed the steal without any delay and kicked the ball directly to Gundogan who was not far from him.

"Back to defense!" Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas shouted.

As he shouted, Gundogan passed the ball with his right foot.

Long diagonal pass!

The football crossed most of the field and flew to the left.

There, Bruno was already making a crazy forward advance.

Before the start of the second half of overtime, Bruno thought over and over again and came up with a counterattack tactic for himself, which was to fight his way out on the right side.

Real Madrid's left-back Marcelo likes to assist, which is why Bruno focuses on opening gaps on the right.

Bruno received the ball while sprinting at high speed. Marcelo, who was desperately returning to defense, was about to get close to Bruno, but Bruno did not stop the ball, but directly knocked it away.

The football rolled forward, and at the same time Bruno accelerated, directly widening the distance between him and Marcelo, caught up with the football, and started the high-speed dribbling mode.

If it was at the beginning of the game, Bruno did not have such an obvious advantage over Marcelo, but after more than 110 minutes of the game, Marcelo was completely unable to keep up with Bruno.

………………

"Beautiful! Bruno!"

"Counterattack! Manchester United's counterattack!"

"It's hard to imagine that Bruno still has the energy to sprint at such a high speed when the game is almost 115 minutes. He is simply a monster!"

"Real Madrid's backcourt is very, very empty! Is Manchester United going to score a goal with this attack?"

At this moment, only central defender Varane was in Real Madrid's penalty area.

Ramos is trying his best to keep up with Harry Kane who is accelerating forward.

In this case, there was no one defending Ibrahimovic who was also advancing at high speed.

"Three against two!"

Bruno did not take the credit for himself. He pretended to cut inside and shoot, which attracted Varane who was forced to intercept, and then he made a low cross pass.

"Ibrahimovic! One-on-one!"

The Swedish veteran received the ball, controlled it well, and dribbled into the penalty area.

"Navas, attack!"

"Ibrahimovic! Shoot - past the goalkeeper!"

Amid the commentator's roar, this man named Ibrahimovic, who was only four months away from turning 37, swung his right foot and pretended to shoot in the first and last Champions League final of his career.

Navas immediately fell to the ground to save the ball, and then the Real Madrid goalkeeper watched the veteran dribble the ball back.

The empty goal was right in front of him. Ibrahimovic only felt that his feet were so heavy. He swung his "heavy" right leg and pushed lightly.

The football crossed the goal line and rolled into the net!

………………

"Ibrahimovic - shot - goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Ibrahimovic's first goal in the Champions League final! 4:3! Manchester United is leading for the third time in this game!"

"Boom--" The Kiev Olympic Stadium erupted like a violent volcano!

Manchester United players rushed up frantically and rushed towards Ibrahimovic.

The 36-year-old Ibrahimovic stood there. This experienced and honored veteran, at this moment, was like a young boy entering the bridal chamber for the first time. He just stood there in a daze.

Then, he came to his senses and was about to run to celebrate, but his teammates hugged him, surrounded him, and celebrated wildly.

May 2018, 5, UEFA Champions League final, Olympic Stadium, Kiev, Ukraine.

Ibrahimovic, who will be 130 in just days, took the step to realize his dream and made his debut in the UEFA Champions League final.

In the 4th minute of the game, Bruno assisted and Ibrahimovic scored a goal, Manchester United 3: Real Madrid!

"Boom--" The volcano belonging to Manchester United in the Kiev Olympic Stadium is erupting.

When the ball went into the net, the Manchester United fans in the stands almost jumped up in unison, raised their arms, clenched their fists and cheered.

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic! Zlatan Ibrahimovic! Zlatan Ibrahimovic! He scored in the 114th minute of the game, giving Manchester United the third lead in the game! This is Ibrahimovic's first Champions League final and his first goal in a Champions League final!"

"4:3! Bruno's assist, Ibrahimovic's goal! Who could have thought that after more than minutes of the game, Bruno could still sprint at such a fast speed! Who could have thought that Real Madrid's defense would be so vulnerable!"

"Ibrahimovic was very excited after scoring the goal. I believe many fans in front of the TV were also excited. As a former superstar, Ibrahimovic, who has won countless championships in his life, has always had a hard time in the Champions League. This is actually Ibrahimovic's first time playing in the Champions League final! Congratulations to Ibrahimovic. At this moment, he is a hero in the hearts of Manchester United fans."
