185. Chapter 184 Madrid, here we come!

Author: Bei Guoxia

"The venue for this season's Champions League final is the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain. The winner of today's match will get a ticket to the Champions League final. Judging from the current situation, Ajax is far ahead of them.

of rivals Barcelona, ​​which is now ranked 81st

Minutes later, the score was still 2 to 1. Ajax, who was playing at home, led the opponent with a total score of 3 to 1. After Barcelona lost the second goal, they made two substitutions, but it was to no avail. Although they pressed heavily on

Attack, but the situation is still not optimistic for them."

If Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde had heard what the commentator was saying, he would have said it.

"I've done everything I need to do, what else can I do?"

This seems very irresponsible, but sometimes it is the truth, because Valverde can't do much. He formulates tactics, he actively makes substitutions, and he makes adjustments according to the wishes of the players.

He made personnel arrangements in accordance with the general trend of the Barcelona team, but after doing all this, Barcelona still failed to score goals. Is it his fault?

Valverde felt depressed and uncomfortable, and all kinds of negative emotions surged up.

He was wondering if taking over Barcelona was the wrong choice.

Obviously at Athletic Bilbao, I am a respected head coach and manager. I have the final say when buying and selling people (despite the nature of Athletic Bilbao). The players respect themselves and the fans respect themselves.

, he said it in the locker room, but when Barcelona found Valverde.

How could Valverde not be moved? Especially when Barcelona president Bartomeu said to him "No one can refuse Barcelona", he really couldn't refuse, so he came here, but after coming to Barcelona

On the first day, he discovered that this was not a place where he could stay. Only head coaches with Barcelona blood were welcome here, and Valverde did not have such a thing.

Therefore, he doesn't get the respect he wants, he can't flex his muscles here, in fact, he can't even reach out, and every time he enters the Barcelona dressing room, he is timid.

At this time, he really understood that sentence - the most difficult thing about coaching a wealthy team is never the tactics, but handling the locker room well.

But now, at the Amsterdam Arena, he remembered these past events again.

However, now he felt that everything was unimportant. Valverde walked back to the bench and sat down directly. He ignored the shocked expression on the assistant coach's face.

"Oh - we saw Barcelona's head coach Valverde returned to the coaching bench and sat down directly. It seems that he is not ready to continue directing from the sidelines! Has he given up?"

There are still 7 or 8 minutes left before the end of the game. It is not difficult for Barcelona to score 2 goals in 8 minutes. After all, they have also scored 3 or 4 goals in the last few minutes.

However, the coach lost his temper, and the players on the field were running around like headless chickens without any structure. At this time, Barcelona really looked like they had surrendered in advance, but the players' bodies were still there.

Mechanically thinking about attacking.

However, the Ajax players did not dare to relax at all. After all, in the last minute, if the opponent scored another goal, the momentum might immediately rise.

After all, countless miracles have happened in the Champions League. Liverpool can score 3 goals in 6 minutes. What about Barcelona? So not only did Ajax not relax its defense in the last period, Ten Hag also actively

Deploy troops and generals, the three players in a row are all defensive players, and the attackers are replaced.

In the end, just like in the first round, the only attacker left in the frontcourt was Lin Kedi.

Time passed by and the regular time was over. The fourth official on the sidelines raised the stoppage time card.

"fxxk - 5 minutes of stoppage time, damn it! How could there be so many injuries in the second half?" As soon as the home team fans saw the stoppage time card raised by the fourth official, they started to curse.

Indeed, throughout the second half, the time for players from both sides to lie on the grass was very limited. Five minutes of stoppage time was indeed a bit long, but at this time, for the Ajax players, it was just a matter of holding on for the last five minutes.

The players on the Ajax bench all stood up and stood on the sidelines. They were all excited. They were restraining themselves tightly. They looked at the court, the clock, and the hands. They were expecting

I hope time can pass faster and faster.

Lin Kedi was defending at the front of the penalty area.

He had no time or time to see how long it would take for the game to end.

He is focusing on defense now.

Focus.

At this time, the ball is at Messi's feet.

Lin Kedi was very nervous.

However, at the last moment, Messi's feet were obviously weak.

Messi took the ball and wanted to sway left and right, but as soon as he swayed, his movement deformed.

De Ligt stretched his leg accurately and intercepted the ball.

Then De Ligt quickly distributed the ball to the wing.

After Ziyech on the wing got the ball, he ran forward desperately without passing the ball or cutting inside. He just ran towards Barcelona's baseline corner flagpole, just to waste time.

Barcelona's players frantically chased back, trying to regain the ball, but in the end the ball was knocked out of the baseline by Barcelona's defensive players.

Ajax won a corner kick.

When the referee pointed his finger towards the corner flag area, there was a burst of cheers.

Because there are only 30 seconds left before injury time. In fact, as long as this corner kick is taken, the game will be over.

"The game is basically over. There are only 30 minutes left. There is no way Barcelona can score 2 goals in these 30 seconds!" Zhan Jun said with joy.

The Ajax player who took the corner kick should have been Ziyech, but Ziyech did not go to the corner flag area, but De Jong walked over. Why? Of course because De Jong walked far enough.

Well, let's spend some more time.

When De Jong walked to the corner flag area, five minutes of stoppage time had passed and the referee was already looking at his watch.

When De Jong took a corner kick, Lin Ke's opponent hit the ball and it went over the crossbar.

Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen immediately ran towards the goal, picked up a ball, and wanted to drive quickly.

But the referee looked at his watch again and blew the whistle to end the game.

The scene instantly fell into a sea of ​​celebration.

Ajax's substitutes who were standing on the sidelines also rushed onto the field.

Lin Kedi, who was originally standing in the penalty area, heard the whistle and subconsciously wanted to lie down on the turf because he was very tired.

However, he was immediately hugged by his teammates who came over.

"Lin, we are in the finals!"

"We're in the finals!"

"We're going to Madrid!"

Lin Kedi was so happy that he shouted.

At this time, the cameraman immediately carried the camera and came to Lin Kedi's side.

After Lin Kedi saw the camera, he shouted at the camera.

"We're going to Madrid! We're going to the Champions League final!"
Chapter completed!
