World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 589 Chapter 561 I am waiting for you

The Champions League semi-final, Juventus VS Maritimo, the game has entered the fourth round of the penalty shootout.

Dzeko and Buffon, two veterans with an average age of 40, faced off directly.

Buffon read Dzeko's intent from his gaze.

As the ball crossed the goal line, Buffon's hand also arrived.

Buffon has stretched his body to the limit, and the tip of his right finger has barely touched the ball.

Buffon has rejected such shots countless times, and his stable performance has won him the reputation of being the world's number one goalkeeper.

The 12-time Serie A best goalkeeper, 5 FIFA best goalkeeper of the year, 4 Golden Globes top ten, Serie A champions won soft hands, legendary goalkeepers who have won the Europa League and World Cup, the only thing missing in the room of honor is the Champions League trophy.

This is the last season of his career and his last chance to lift the Champions League trophy.

We have reached the semi-finals, we have reached the penalty shootout, and we are only one step away from victory!

As long as this penalty is saved, the balance of victory will tilt towards Juventus!
As long as you catch yourself...

However, although Buffon has achieved the ultimate, he is 44 years old after all, and his speed is much slower than before. If he was 4 or 5 years younger, he would be able to block the ball easily.

Although the fingertips touched the ball, they were unable to stop the ball from advancing, and the ball rolled into the net.

The ball hit the net, and the two people who were 12 yards apart seemed to be exhausted, and they all knelt down on the spot, looking up to the sky and sighing!
One is thanking God, and the other is questioning why God is so unfair to himself!

Gao Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his bladder swell up.

Could it be that this is the legendary almost scared to pee? !
Pirlo's eyes were dull, as if he had already felt that it might be a bad move for him to replace Buffon at the last moment!
The penalty shootout score was 3:2, and the total score was 7:6!

The pressure was entirely on Juventus' side.

"Danilo, you must come in!"

"It's all on you!"

"I believe you!"

……

Juve's teammates cheered for Danilo, who was going to play next.

Danilo felt that his heartbeat had reached 180!Especially when Ronaldo slapped him heavily on his shoulder, he trembled all over and almost collapsed on the ground!

If he fails to make a penalty, then Ronaldo may not have a chance to play!

At this moment, he remembered the Italian Cup final a few years ago.

In that contest with Naples, I became the biggest sinner.

After the game, the headlines of the media were all "Danilo missed the penalty shootout, Juventus lost the Coppa Italia championship"

Damn it!Why do you let yourself do this again!

Standing at the 12 yard position, Danilo's mind was blank, only the sound of his own heavy breathing next to his ears, who am I?Where am I?what am i doing
In his confusion, he only heard a whistle coming from his ear, and then he mechanically started, kicked, and shot!
Then he heard a loud groan from the stands at the Allianz Stadium, and his whole body was jolted up, and his consciousness returned to his place.

He saw that the ball he shot was firmly picked up by the opponent's goalkeeper!

Danilo's shot had neither strength nor angle, and more importantly, he followed the direction of his eyes in a daze, which was easily judged by Niu Gensheng.

"Great! Niu Gensheng has done a great job! Don't give Juventus any chance! They are going home! The great goalkeeper of the Chinese team! The goalkeeper of the weak team! He has inherited the glorious tradition of the Chinese team! Li Fusheng, Shi Lianzhi, Li Songhai, Ou Chuliang, Jiang Jin, Liu Yunfei, Wang Dalei... He represents the long history and tradition of Chinese football! At this moment, he is not fighting alone! He is not alone!!!"

In the far east, the sky was already pale, and the commentator of CCTV was roaring wildly with passion.He copied the lines of his predecessor Huang Jianxiang, and also continued the madness of the other party.

However, this time, it is easier to be accepted by the Chinese people!

Because Niu Gensheng is the hope of Chinese football.

Whether Italy has a great left-back tradition is hard to say, but the Chinese team is a weak team, but the goalkeeper has always been good!

Now, the eyes of the whole world are on Maritimo's last veteran Aduriz!

The veteran, who is over 40 years old and returned to football after retiring, has become a key figure in determining the outcome.

The TV broadcast camera switches back and forth on Aduriz, Buffon, Ronaldo, Pirlo, and Gao Yuan, and the intention is self-evident.

Especially Ronaldo has squatted on the ground, this tough guy who will never admit defeat, turned the tide by himself, but now he can't decide the fate of himself and the team by himself!

"At such a critical moment, Gao Yuan chose Aduriz, who had few opportunities to play. I wonder if he regretted it at this moment?" The commentator of the Italian TV station still did not forget to sneer.

Of course Gao Yuan doesn't regret it!Act after planning, act with perseverance, is his motto in coaching and life.

Aduriz is the most experienced veteran in the team. At this critical moment, experience and mentality are more important than any skills and tactics.

He believes that Aduriz will do it!

The referee whistled, Gao Yuan closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

After a while, cheers from the bench next to him came to my ears!
He hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see that the ball had landed firmly in the net!

Buffon fell in the wrong direction and was already in tears.

Points score 4:2!The total score is 8:6!

Maritimo won!

Maritimo celebrated wildly up and down, in sharp contrast to the lonely Juventus general, many people shed tears.

The man does not flick when he has tears, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness!
The moment Ronaldo scored the penalty kick, he sat down on the turf, and his eyes were lost for a moment, but soon he stood up, and his eyes became firm again!

What is failure!What kind of storms and waves have I never experienced before!I can take over the two golden generations of Portugal on my own!Being able to prove himself in the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A, what a little bit of wind and rain is nothing!
Big deal, come back next year!

At the age of 38, Ronaldo's fighting spirit has not been diminished!Instead, it made him more mature and resolute.

In this game, Juventus failed to advance, but Ronaldo did not lose!

He put his arms around Dybala with red eye circles, and Chiesa who was crying bitterly with the other.Arms exerted force, let them feel the strength.

"Don't be sad, you are still young and still have a chance, let's come back next year!"

When Ronaldo walked to the entrance of the passage, he found that the opposing coach Gao Yuan was waiting for him.

The two hugged each other.

"You are outstanding! You will become the best in the world, I have a strong feeling!" Ronaldo said.

This kind of words are usually said by the coach to the opponent's players, but this time it was reversed. However, these words came from Ronaldo's mouth, but there was no sense of abruptness or disobedience.

"Cristiano, I hope we can cooperate in the future!" Gao Yuan also cut straight to the point.

Ronaldo didn't say anything, just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled lightly, and walked deep into the player tunnel.

Gao Yuan didn't get a response, and was unwilling to reconcile. Looking at the tall and straight back of the other party, he suddenly added: "Cooperate with me, and I will bring you back to the top! Get a few more Golden Globes!"

Ronaldo's body froze, and he turned his head slowly, looking towards Gao Yuan.

After seeing the seriousness and confidence in the other party's eyes, he said: "You know the phone number of my agent Mendes, I'll wait for you..."
