Chapter 378: Final Shot! Final Draw? Part
In the end, Li Qi still didn't find Julian among the crowd of fans, nor did he find his relatives cheering for him. After all, the Luzhniki Stadium is a standard stadium with a runway between the grass and the stands!
Moreover, Li Qi had forgotten that he had arranged for Pimenta to buy them VIP tickets for the VIP seats, which were quite a distance from the runway.
So, Li Qi was knocked down again by Ronaldo who rushed over, and then he was pinned down by everyone and started playing human pyramid.
Li Qi shouted that he had cramps! Cramps! No one paid any attention to him, thinking that he was just shouting meaninglessly because he was too excited...
@
Sarafina, who was watching the game in London, organized a group of fake sisters and close friends who needed to be strictly guarded against to watch the live broadcast of the Champions League final together.
When Li Qi helped Manchester United to surpass the score again in extra time, the group of coolly dressed girls were naturally excited to sing and dance, completely ignoring the fact that they were in London, which was Chelsea's home ground...
The large new plasma TV and the matching Bose sound system continued to broadcast the passionate yet steady commentary of ESPN's chief football commentator Jon Chapman:
"Oh! This is Li Qi's 9th goal in the Champions League this season. He has surpassed Ronaldo again and topped the Champions League scorer list!"
"You know, he also has eight assists, which also leads the assist list in the Champions League this season."
"Of course, this has something to do with the fact that many of the Champions League opponents are not familiar with him and do not understand his technical characteristics. Ronaldo and Rooney also attracted a lot of defensive attention for him."
"But nine goals and eight assists in 13 games is astonishing, and this is only his first season at Manchester United. He seems to have seamlessly integrated into the team, like a duck to water."
"Look at this ball again. First, Li Qi accurately predicted the ball, dribbled past Ballack and made a long-distance pass to initiate a counterattack. Finally, he outflanked the middle and completed the fatal blow. It was as if he always knew where the ball would appear..."

Back at the scene, Ronaldo was still helping Li Qi press his cramped right leg. This was the first time Li Qi had cramped during a game since he started playing in the professional league.
After all, Li Qi, who can run more than 1.3 meters per game, has already run more than 1 meters in today's final before the overtime, heading for 7 meters. This intensity is not as simple as calculating by proportion...
The game is not over yet, but both teams made substitutions at the same time, giving Li Qi some more time to recover, stretch his muscles, and withstand Chelsea's final counterattack!
Manchester United replaced Evra, who had just used up the last drop of fuel in his tank, with Fletcher, and replaced Hargreaves back to the defense line to prepare for the Blues' high-altitude bombing.
Chelsea also made a substitution, replacing Makelele with Belletti. Essien returned to the defensive midfielder position, and Belletti and Ashley Cole took turns to pass the ball from the wing.
Both sides had basically the same idea. After all, the overtime was more than halfway through and they had almost no energy left. It was also raining, so making things too complicated would be ineffective. They just followed the simplest British method - long pass!
After the restart, Terry, Carvalho and Ballack ignored the defense and rushed directly into Manchester United's penalty area with Drogba, preparing to increase the aerial balls.
However, not long after the overtime entered the second half, the game underwent dramatic changes.
First, in the 108th minute, Vidic headed the ball away, and Li Qi kicked the ball directly from outside the penalty area to the side of Chelsea's half...
Tevez and Ashley Cole were pushing and shoving each other while trying to get the ball into the net quickly, and finally the referee penalized the attacking team for a foul.
But Tevez, who was thrown to the grass by Ashley Cole, bounced up with a thud, pointing at Ashley Cole and cursing: "You bastard! You are such a turtle, how dare you mess with me..."
Ashley Cole didn't react for a moment to the broken English mixed with Spanish slang spoken by this ugly guy, but looking at his ferocious expression, he knew that what he said was not good.
The referee hurried over to separate the two, but the players from both sides had already gathered around to help, oh no, to cheer.
Of course, it was the Manchester United players who came over first to watch the fun and to show their support. However, the incident happened in Chelsea's half, so when they saw the Manchester United players approaching, the experienced Blues players surrounded the two people who were arguing first.
Then a scuffle broke out between the two sides. Well, not really, it could barely be considered a fight. The only physical incident was when Drogba used the iron sand palm that he had practiced for several years to give Vidic a big beep.
But there was no need for Vidic to turn into a flame of anger and cause a bigger conflict. The referee and the linesman were right next to Vidic and Drogba and saw everything clearly.
They directly separated the players of the two teams, and then rewarded Drogba, who had resorted to violence, with a ruby war god card, and respectfully sent him back to the locker room to rest early. In addition, they gave two yellow sapphire fight-initiating cards to Tevez and Ballack, the two people who were talking the loudest at the scene.
Li Qi, who had been fanning the flames outside the crowd, oh no, it was the one watching the fire from the other side, who twitched his mouth when he saw African Dehua being sent off. It was likely that he just realized that he had been hit by a skill similar to taunting and provoking. Now he had fallen into a trap, right?
But he was African Dehua, a respectable man after all! Due to his face, he couldn't get angry, let alone cry. He could only swallow his anger and walk off the court with a blank expression on his face, but his heart was broken.
Why did Li Qi know what was going on in Dehua's mind? Because his hands were shaking like a sieve. It couldn't be that Vidic's face was hit by his internal energy and he was hurt, right?
I didn't pass this trick on to Brother Vidic.
But Li Qi still secretly gave a thumbs up to both brother Vidic and brother Tevez: Awesome!
In this way, not only did it only consume 3 minutes, but it also caused the opponent to lose one non-combat player, and he was the most critical striker!
I'm asking you, you're one goal behind, one man down at Chelsea, with less than 10 minutes left, how do you catch up?!
So Manchester United, who had one more player, tried to stretch their formation to control the ball, pushing Chelsea, who had one less player, back away from their own defensive third zone.
This ultimate defensive trick should be very suitable at this time. After all, there is one more person playing against him, and the opponent does not have enough physical strength to press like a mad dog all over the court.
But life is always full of surprises. Just 3 minutes before Manchester United's goal, Manchester United's side lost strength and made a series of passing errors, which almost caused a disaster!
In the 117th minute, just as Li Qi passed the ball, his right calf cramped again, and the ball was a little short.
Then when Carrick was fighting for the 5-5 ball with Lampard, his feet went weak and he did not tackle immediately, allowing the latter to tackle first and poke the ball to Anelka who was not far in front of him.
After Anelka got the ball, he turned and dribbled towards Manchester United's penalty area. He changed direction and dodged Ferdinand, who was a little reckless in trying to steal the ball. Then he was knocked down by Vidic on the penalty area line, who retreated too deep at the beginning...
In fact, Anelka's last move was a bit too big. If Vidic had just moved sideways to interfere, Van der Sar, who had already attacked in advance, would have been able to fall to the ground and catch the ball.
Never mind, it’s okay to give a set piece.
But the referee actually pointed to the penalty spot? A penalty!
He Lixette!
Li Qi could swear with his aluminum alloy dog eyes that the foul was definitely committed outside the penalty area!
Is this a script? The fat guy who swore before the game that there would be no problem is a fake?
After the referee gave Vidic a yellow card, the penalty decision could not be changed!
Drogba was not there, and Anelka, the future star who created the penalty, took the ball from Lampard and took the penalty kick himself, which would decide the fate of the game...
