Chapter 103: Does this count as winning without doing anything? (Final Chapter of Volume 1)

Li Qi, who was about to enter the court, quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "Never mind, it's over. Can't we win with one more player? Just follow the instructions of Ronaldinho's father and Eto'o brothers and it's over!"

So, in the few seconds when he was waiting for Oleger to leave the field, Li Qi quickly imitated AC Milan's Kaka, raised his index fingers to the sky, and prayed: "God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jade Blue Heavenly Venerable... May all the gods and Buddhas in the sky bless me, don't let anything go wrong because of me, and win the championship smoothly..."

As soon as Li Qi came on the field, he used his physical advantage as a young man to create danger on the wing.

In the 72nd minute, after receiving the ball, Li Qi first made a wall-to-wall cooperation with the nearby Iniesta, and then used his speed to overtake England's left-back Ashley Cole on the right!

Ashley Cole was not in good form in this game. Li Qi, who was watching the game from the bench, found that Ashley Cole was very quiet today and did not have any outstanding performance. Could it be related to his return from a six-month absence due to a fractured bone? Or was it because he was preparing to switch to Chelsea to make big money next season and was distracted?

No matter what, Li Qi is determined to use the physical advantage of just coming on the court, to kill him while he is sick, and to make a wave of attacks to earn some bonuses first!

Li Qi, who is tall and has long legs, successfully found the space to cross the ball, and made a decisive arc pass across the middle... Larsson got the ball and chested it back to the front of the penalty area, Deco responded in time with a beautiful fake shot and a real dunk!

The ball passed, but Deco fell in front of the penalty area. However, the referee Hauge thought he was diving and ignored it.

According to the slow-motion replay, Campbell's tackle looked very fierce, but he finally retracted his foot and did not touch Deco. It was unclear whether Deco was frightened or wanted to fake a foul, but Hauge, who was right next to him, saw it clearly...

Afterwards, the ball came to Ronaldinho's feet. Ronaldinho leaned on the defender who was defending on the right side of the penalty area and shot with his right foot at a small angle, but unfortunately the ball went wide of the near post.

As soon as Li Qi came on the pitch, he immediately revitalized Barcelona's right attack and cut off Arsenal's few counterattacks on the left.

So the professor had to act quickly. In the 75th minute of the game, Wenger replaced Fabregas, who was one year younger than Li Qi, with defensive midfielder Flamini. Henry took advantage of this opportunity to secretly squat in the corner flag area to catch his breath.

Henry was panting heavily, with beads of sweat dripping down his face. These few minutes had been very hard on Henry. The new No. 66 was much harder to deal with than the original No. 23. He had more energy, was faster, and had a very accurate prediction. He basically intercepted all the balls sent to Henry's side. Henry rarely retreated to receive the ball, but was stabbed from behind by No. 66. Oh no, he kicked the ball away from between his legs...

Shortly after this substitution, in the 76th minute of the game, Barcelona finally reached a turning point in the game again.

Ricardo's brother Andre was playing the Snake game on his Nokia phone pretending to be indifferent, but he was actually paying attention to the actions of the two teams on the TV broadcast. After playing for more than a dozen games, his snake never grew longer and basically crashed into the wall at the beginning...

Although Andre lowered his head to look at his phone and started a new game, he pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the passionate commentary of the broadcaster without missing a word.

"Deco... Deco passes the ball to Iniesta..."

"Iniesta looked at Li Qi. Is he going to attack the right again? Arsenal has already deployed heavy troops on the left wing!"

"Oh! No, pass straight to the left side of the penalty area!"

"Larson back-to-the-basket! No! He passed it directly to Eto'o who came in from behind at high speed..."

"One-on-one! Shoot..."

"Ditch oooooh! Ditch oooooh! Ditch!"

"What a lightning-fast combination! Let's watch the slow-motion replay to see how this goal developed!"

"At first, it looked like Iniesta was going to attack to the right after receiving the ball, but he suddenly passed the ball to Arsenal's empty left flank!"

"At the moment Iniesta passed the ball, Eto'o, who had been silent for a while, suddenly burst into action..."

"Larson leaned against Campbell in the penalty area with his back and kicked the ball directly to Eto'o who came in from the side and back at high speed!"

"Eto'o stopped the ball with his left foot and faced the goalkeeper, it was a one-on-one opportunity!"

"Then Eto'o calmly shot the ball into the near corner with his right foot from 5 meters in front of the goal! The Cameroon Cheetah will not miss at this distance!"

"Oh oh oh! Slow-motion replay, Larsson passed the ball to Eto'o. The cheetah was suspected of being offside..."

"But referee Hauge ruled the goal valid. Indeed, at the moment when Larsson touched the ball, it was difficult to judge whether Eto'o, who came from behind, was offside."

"Moreover, the live replays from different angles did not clearly explain whether Larsson touched the ball. If Larsson did not touch the ball, Eto'o would definitely not be offside..."

"No matter what, Arsenal has already restarted the game in the center circle! Barcelona has tied the score 1-1! With one man less, Arsenal has lost their only advantage!"

"In addition, this goal also ended Arsenal's Champions League record of 995 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal..."

After scoring the goal, Barcelona's morale was boosted. They launched an attack like a tide, like mercury pouring out of the ground, and rushed towards Arsenal's defense in waves!

At the same time, shortly after the goal was scored, it started raining at the Stade de France. Although it was not a heavy rain, the rain was quite heavy, even making the scene look foggy for a while. The field became more slippery, which was more conducive to short and fast passes and low shots.

Wenger couldn't help but frown, and put on the professor's most representative bitter melon face + chuan-shaped eyebrows, which was particularly deep and stylish!

Li Qi watched as brother Larsson assisted brother Eto'o to tie the score, and he couldn't help but feel relieved: At least we won't lose the game this time, and the advantage is that we can drag the game into overtime!

Besides, there were still more than ten minutes of regular time left, and many Arsenal players, who had been one man down for most of the game, were already unable to run! It was difficult for them to even get the ball in the midfield, let alone counterattack.

So, after struggling with Henry for a while, Li Qi decided to loosen the restraints and thrust deeper, or push harder, or no... Anyway, that's what I meant, fuck! The young man was hard and powerful at this time!

Not long after the last goal, Li Qi moved to the side again and observed the situation on the field. At present, central defender Marcos was advancing with the ball, and Henry was catching his breath behind him. He had just followed Arsenal's counterattack, but Flamini, who came on as a substitute, couldn't help but shot directly from 30 meters away from the goal, and the ball went far away from the goal...

The rest of the Arsenal players were stationed in the defensive zone 3, and the heavy troops began to shrink in the penalty area, and they did not come up to press the Barcelona midfielders and backcourt players. Besides Henry, who was almost unable to move behind him, the closest person to Li Qi was Ljungberg, but this guy also fought hard throughout the game, and now he was panting and preparing to go to the middle to block Marcos who had already crossed the half court with the ball...

So there were no defensive players within 10 meters around Li Qi. Of course, that was also because Li Qi was close to the right sideline, and Henry didn't have the energy to come over to defend.

So Li Qi decisively waved his hand to ask for the ball: "Brother Marcos, here!"

Li Qi received the ball from Marcos with the outside of his right foot. After stopping the ball, he continued to observe the arrangement of Arsenal's defense. Arsenal had arranged two layers of 3-man defense in the defensive zone 4, and 4 black and hard defenders were lined up in the penalty area...

It's too hard. Oh no, it's too dense. It can't get in at all.

Let's leave it to Ronaldinho's father to solve the problem.

So Li Qi passed the ball to Ronaldinho who retreated to the front midfielder position before the opponent's defensive players came up to press...

After dribbling the ball, Ronaldinho developed it to the left, forming a triangle with Iniesta and Eto'o, hoping to penetrate Arsenal's defense with a quick pass. However, before he could reach Campbell and Toure, the two strong towers, he was disrupted by Gilberto and Eboue...

But Ronaldinho sent the ball back to the top of the gourd in the middle of the penalty area with the outside of his right foot through the gap between people... Deco, who was ambushing in this area, followed up and was about to shoot, but Flamini flew over to block the shot!

However, the ball bounced high and flew in front of Li Qi. Li Qi jumped high and stopped the ball with his chest. He saw that big brother Larsson had moved to the right side of the penalty area to receive the ball. Coincidentally, big brother Giuly also moved to the side and took Ashley Cole away. There was a hidden line that could deliver the ball to big brother Larsson in the penalty area.

Li Qi sent a high-speed low pass without hesitation. The ball arrived, but Larson did not stop the ball well. He received the ball near the right side of the penalty area, but stopped too far and only controlled the ball near the bottom corner outside the penalty area.

As it happened, Larson's stop was too big, and Campbell, who had been defending him, was taken out of the penalty area...

Li Qi saw Campbell being pulled out of the penalty area by Brother Larson, and a small vacuum area suddenly appeared in the middle of the penalty area. That area cannot be missed, so he had to get in no matter what!

Li Qi ran into the middle of the penalty area at high speed, occupying the space originally occupied by Campbell...

Brother Larson also noticed that the big black guy had been defending him so closely that he had left the middle of the penalty area, so he had to pass the ball behind him before he got to his body!

The Swedish veteran deftly twisted his waist and sent a straight pass with his left foot. The ball accelerated on the slippery field, passed Ashley Cole's tackle, and accurately came in front of Li Qi who was running forward at high speed...

Li Qi lightly took the ball with his left foot, and quickly glanced at the center of the penalty area out of the corner of his eye. He was preparing to make a connecting move with his right foot. Should he pass the ball high to the back post, or shoot a low ball in front of the goal?

It was at this moment that Li Qi triggered the breaking point. Time seemed to stand still, and everyone's movements became incredibly slow, including Li Qi's own...

Li Qi clearly observed that bean-sized raindrops were floating in the air, and the grass debris kicked up by Ashley Cole's tackle not far away was still flying in the air, while England's left back was lying on the ground, observing whether he would make a mistake in stopping the ball.

Li Qi also felt that there were Arsenal players rushing to defend on both sides behind him. The one behind the right should be Ljungberg, and who is on the left? Oh! There are two more, one is Flamini who just blocked the eye and then flew over, and the other vicious one should be Gilberto...

So where is our center forward? Oh, by the way, Brother Larsson is out of the penalty area... Then where are you, Brother Eto'o?

Huh? Brother Eto'o, why are you standing in front of Ronaldinho's father? Are you two defending Eboue? I don't have a line to send it through, there are Gilberto, Toure and Eboue in the middle...

What about Deco at the top of the penalty area? Damn, he actually went back to defend the area after my forward run... There was no way to pass the ball.

Then I can only shoot at random. Far corner? Or near corner? Oh! There is a hole! That's it!

Once Li Qi made the decision, time seemed to restart instantly. The raindrops that were originally suspended in the air turned into falling rain lines... Li Qi tightened his collar with his left foot and shot with his right foot!

Li Qi's shooting action was extremely fast. Flamini had already let his whole body fly out, trying to block the shot from the corner of the small penalty area, which was less than 5 yards away from the goal, but he was still half a step slow...

Perhaps if Li Qi chose to push the ball into the far corner, Flamini would be able to slide in the rain to get the ball; but Li Qi chose to shoot a low ball into the slightly open door between the goalkeeper's legs!

Almunia originally moved over to block the near corner, but the attack was too fast and he hadn’t gotten into position yet, so a small hole was left in his crotch…

Therefore, as long as Li Qi shoots accurately, quickly and close to the ground, Almunia will not have time to close the gap between his legs due to the slippery grass!

Li Qi's powerful shot was indeed fast, accurate and fierce! Li Qi, who was knocked down by Flamini's tackle, kept his eyes on the development of the ball. He saw the ball whizzed through Almunia's crotch like a frightened rabbit and went straight into the net at the far end of the goal!

……

Ditch oh oh oh! Ditch oh oh oh! Ditch oh oh oh! Ditch!!

The moment the ball hit the net, Li Qi felt as if the entire stadium had suddenly fallen into a silent world, with only his own strong heartbeat, thump! thump!

However, just a moment later, Li Qi heard the passionate shouts of the DJ on the scene, which led to the heart-wrenching and crazy cheers of the fans on the scene!

Perhaps only Arsenal's diehard fans were holding their heads or covering their eyes in disbelief... Arsenal's players were also helpless and in disbelief. What else could they do? They had already tried their best, even at the risk of their lives!

Li Qi slowly got up from the ground, still a little confused: "It's amazing! I actually scored a goal in the Champions League final?! And it was a winning goal that reversed the score?!"

"Ah!" Before Li Qi could come to his senses, he was pulled back to the lawn by the veteran Larson who had given the assist...

"Wait! Brothers, wait..." Li Qi seemed to realize with horror what was going to happen, but before he could shout out, he was pressed up by his excited Barcelona teammates, and they were stacked on top of each other again!

Li Qi, who was pressed at the bottom, could only protect his head first, oh no, he should cover his handsome face, and he also had the mind to do some philosophical thinking: "I played, I scored a goal, so did I still win the championship without doing anything?"

"Oh, yes, the game is not over yet." Li Qi didn't know that he was rescued from the bottom one minute later. It was thanks to the referee Hauge who came to urge the Barcelona players to end the celebration and resume the game as soon as possible. Including the extra time, there were still ten minutes of game time. We had to give Arsenal a chance to counterattack, right? Although they were one man short...

Wenger, who was watching the rain just now, was worried that the slippery ground in the rain would increase the variables. It can only be said that what you worry about will come true. At this time, Murphy's Law came true for Arsenal again; Barcelona struck while the iron was hot and overtook the score in the 81st minute of the game with the cooperation of two super substitutes!

First, Larsson stopped the ball far away because of the slippery ground, which took away Campbell. Then, Li Qi made a high-speed run and shot at a small angle. With the help of the slippery field, the ball went into Almunia's crotch. Oh no, it went through Almunia's crotch...

Wenger felt a little indignant after the event, but he could only quickly replace Hleb with Reyes to see if he could make a last-ditch effort, oh no, a counterattack!

But the Gunners were already doomed; finally, Eto'o broke through on the left and made a cross pass. Giuly volleyed with his right foot from 20 meters in front of the goal. The ball hit the left post and went out of the bottom line. The referee blew the whistle to end the game!

Barcelona eventually won the championship 2-1, turning defeat into victory and defeating Arsenal who was one man less, and successfully became the double champion of La Liga and European Champions League in the 05/06 season!

The stadium, Barcelona and Barcelona fans all over the world went crazy!

And Li Qi, from the TV broadcast, looked so happy that he was silly, just like a mentally retarded baby who was about to turn 20 years old...
