When the game was five minutes later, the score was still 3:2, Barcelona led the way and Hoffenheim fell behind.

During this period, Barcelona obviously had the upper hand in ball possession. As long as the football fell to their feet, Hoffenheim would find it difficult to snatch the football back. They could only expect them to complete an attack and give up the ball.

But even if he got the ball possession like this, Barcelona had already returned to the defense. Hoffenheim wanted to reorganize the offense and advance from the end layer by layer. This was very difficult. Looking at Barcelona's tight defense, the three lines were compact and neat, and thinking about the situation on his team, it was really hopeless.

If the game is allowed to develop like this, let alone five minutes left, even if Hoffenheim is given fifty minutes, they may not be able to score. The current situation is that Barcelona hopes that the time will end soon, and Hoffenheim does not have the physical strength to support it, so the winner must be decided within these five minutes.

There are several ways to break the deadlock, such as set pieces. But Barcelona now firmly grasps the situation on the court. Hoffenheim attacks the frontcourt without having to use a foul to defend it, so Salihovic has no use.

Chu Zhongtian felt that if he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to adopt the approach they insisted on before - pressing and counterattacking, and caught Barcelona off guard.

But this requires the cooperation of the whole team. With the team's current physical fitness, even if they can press down, they may not have the strength to rush up and fight back quickly... Now, except for themselves, the whole team has better physical fitness, there are only two teammates who have just been replaced. One is the substitute goalkeeper Haas and the other is Van Nisstruy.

Haas is a goalkeeper, and no matter how physically he has, he cannot participate in the full-game press. At the same time, he can quickly forward and help the attack.

The only one who has the energy to keep up with his own pace is Van Nistruy who can help.

Where is the defense?

You still can't give up. Even if the opponent passes the football quickly and walks it, you still have to find a way to intercept the ball.

※※He Ping was a little silent, and he couldn't think of how to stay optimistic. If Hoffenheim really lost in this game, he might only be able to say those clichéd commentary. What is "defeated but honorable", what is "life is so cruel, but don't give up, don't be depressed...", what is "The Champions League runner-up is also very good"... etc.

He took the time to look at the other stands, and the Barcelona fans were already celebrating the victory in advance. They all stood up from their seats and waved their arms to sing Barcelona's team song. The shouts of "Barcelona! Barcelona!" echoed over the Wembley Stadium.

It makes everyone who hears this roar breathing stagnate.

Listen, listen, this is the victory song of Barcelona fans!

In comparison, most of the fans of Hoffenheim have stopped. They sat listlessly on the chair and seemed to have accepted the reality that no matter how hard they try, they cannot defeat Barcelona and win the championship.

Perhaps for them, it is a luxury to win the Champions League final for the first time.

But are you really willing?

Does the Champions League final mean when can we score? I finally reached the Champions League final and performed very well in the game. I once led Barcelona twice. We have the strength to compete with the world's strongest team. Why can't we dream and look forward to the Champions League championship?

Why?

Why can the championship only belong to those strong teams?

Hoffenheim fans sat in such a conflicted and painful mood, not knowing what to do.

He Ping retracted his sight and wanted to continue to comment on the game. At this time, his mind suddenly calmed down. No matter what the final result of the game was, he was first a commentator. He was lined up by Taiwan to London not only to satisfy his hero worship complex, but also to give a commentary on a wonderful football game to Chinese TV audiences thousands of miles away - even in the last few minutes, the game was not exciting at all.

"Barcelona is still in control of the ball. They show their skillful ball control skills and tacit passes... Xavi passed to Iniesta... Iniesta...Butsques...Mascherano...Puyor...Pique...They fell down in the backcourt..." He Ping said helplessly. "When the giant Barcelona faced a country team, they seemed hesitant and dared not attack!" He was still a little embarrassed for Hoffenheim.

※※※ Barcelona did fall in the backcourt. Although they were ahead, although they were one more person than Hoffenheim, they still did not choose to take risks in the offense with less than five minutes left in the game. They did not insist on the creed of "life never ends, attack never stops", and did not play an offense pleasing to the fans. Most of the time, they just fell in the middle and backcourt, and finally got to the front. Once the opponent showed a little toughness in the defense, they quickly shrank back like a frightened tentacle.

This seems that their approach does not quite fit the style of a proud giant team. But when facing Hoffenheim, they would rather leave their dignity than ensure victory. They are not willing to ruin the victory they won at the last moment of the game.

This means that they really treat Hoffenheim as a very, very dangerous opponent. If their opponent in this game is Real Madrid and the score is 3:2, they will definitely do this.

"I wish they looked down on us, so I'm going to attack..." Fritz Abel murmured in the stands. Hoffenheim doesn't care about the respect of his opponents or the sympathy of others. They want the championship. Even if they stole it, they want the championship.

※※ Barcelona fell in the backcourt for a while and was footed. Ibissevic and Van Nistruei were pressing, but what role could they play? In addition, Ibissevic's physical strength was exhausted and he could hardly run, so he could only count as half of them. Barcelona was facing a Hoffenheim player who was back and forth, just as relaxed as they were in training.

The neutral fans in the stands stopped. They looked at the finals for Barcelona's name, not to see Barcelona so unprofitable in the game. On the contrary, Hoffenheim, the weak team who led Barcelona twice in the game until they were sent off, received their support. These neutral fans who had been cheering and applauding the wonderful performances of Barcelona stars in previous games, now applauding every Hoffenheim player who is still running, and at the same time "dedicated" their boo to Barcelona players who are constantly falling.

The boo actually started from the fans of Wimbledon. Boss John could not accept Barcelona's shameless delay in the game. They used boo, middle fingers and swear words to express their dissatisfaction. Soon their emotions spread to others, with them as the center, and the boo ripples in the stands.

Then many Hoffenheim fans joined in. Whenever Barcelona players get the ball, the booing will suddenly increase.

Barcelona players also had hesitation in such booings - we were Barcelona! What reason do we have to worry so much about a team that is one less person and one goal behind?

Leading with one goal is the least safe! Only by scoring another goal before the end of the game can they completely defeat them and make the game lose suspense. Isn’t it the best way to score a goal if you want to be safe?

So, you have to attack!

Pique handed the football to Busques and shouted at him: "Forward! Forward! Don't pass it back!"

The proud Barcelona players finally couldn't help but boo and contempt. They wanted to prove with practical actions that they were still the noble family, and they still represented the most beautiful, purest and most appreciated football in the world!

Buzks made a fake move to pass back, then suddenly knocked the ball and turned around, wiped Ibisekic over. Then he drew the ball forward and Chu Zhongtian came forward.

Looking at the opponent in front of him, Buzks had to admit that he did not defeat him in the game, but fortunately his team defeated his team. He was very good, but who made him choose to stay among a weak team?

He was not so stupid that he let the opponent rush to cut his ball. After nearly ninety minutes of competition, he already knew how powerful Chu Zhongtian was in one-on-one defense. Except for the beginning of the game, after Messi won him a few times, Messi has not successfully passed him one-on-one again. Butzkes knew that he did not have the Chinese skills as powerful as Messi, so he did not waste time here. And the most important thing is that Barcelona needs to score now, not when he finds the field back from Chu Zhongtian, which is more important, and he has a strong overall view of the back midfielder.

He passed the football directly to Harvey in front.

Chu Zhongtian, who was in front of him, turned around with the football and chased backwards.

He shook his head, such a fool. No matter how fast you can run, how fast you run, can you still run football? When you finally catch up with Harvey, he just needs to pass the football to the next teammate who will support him. All your efforts before will be in vain, and you become a joke, like a monkey we are playing around with... Is this meaningful?

※※※ Chu Zhongtian looked at the back in front of him, wearing the No. 6 jersey from Barcelona.

During such a tense and intense game, the first memories suddenly appeared in his heart.

When he was an international student, he once again participated in the Chinese-English international football friendly match organized by his roommate Yang Yang.

At the last moment of the game, this is also the case - the opponent is in front and he is chasing behind. But he can't catch up, because he has only one person, but the opponent is two. The opponent easily plays with him and knocks him to the ground. He tries his best, but he can't catch up with them. He can only watch the opponent score the football into the goal.

This is the beginning of all the stories. After this game, he met Emily, Gavin Borger, Ale Russell, and the people who met the "Mad Gang"... Without these people, he would not be who he is today.

How similar was that day and now? No, it's different.

That day, he was fighting alone. In the last minute of the game, he was the only one who was still running hard on the field, hoping to cut the ball and make a successful counterattack, and scored a goal to save face for the Chinese students who were behind 0:4.

Now? He has a group of brothers, some of whom have not given up, and even if they can no longer run, they are gritting their teeth and persevering.

Last time, he failed, this time... failure is absolutely not allowed!

Harvey turned to catch the ball, and he saw Chu Zhongtian. He also knew that this was a dangerous person, especially at this time, he still maintained his full physical strength, and immediately turned around and rushed back without any pause, which shows how outstanding his physical fitness is.

Of course, you should try to stay away from such dangerous people.

Harvey didn't plan to wait for Chu Zhongtian to pounce on him before he got into trouble, and he immediately passed the football out.

He passed it to Iniesta.

Then run forward and wait for Iniesta to pass the ball over.

But Iniesta did not pass the football because he was entangled!

Sana gritted her teeth, holding Iniesta's jersey in her hand, and pressed her body against Iniesta at a strange angle, making him really not available to pass the football immediately. However, it was a bit difficult for him to intercept the ball. Iniesta is not a vegetarian, and his ball-control skills are quite good.

Chu Zhongtian knew how long Sana could not hold Iniesta back, and he was returning to defense and suddenly accelerated and changed direction, rushing towards Iniesta from behind.

Xavi turned around and paid attention to Chu Zhongtian. Now Chu Zhongtian is Hoffenheim's most threatening player. However, from here he didn't see Chu Zhongtian, so he turned his head and saw Chu Zhongtian pounce on Iniesta from the other side.

"Andres!!" Xavi shouted, reminding Iniesta to pay attention to Chu Zhongtian.

When Iniesta heard Xavi's cry, he quickly turned his head to find Chu Zhongtian.

This made him ignore dealing with Sana around him.

Sana took advantage of his distracted opportunity to find Chu Zhongtian and suddenly stepped on his foot and poked the football out of his feet!

Intercept the ball!

Iniesta reacted the moment he concealed the ball. He suddenly stuck Sana and refused to let him catch the ball. He was also preparing to control the ball again. Of course, he still did not forget to glance at Chu Zhongtian from the corner of his eyes.

He cared so much about Chu Zhongtian and completely ignored other Hoffenheim players around him. After Sana poked the ball out, he suddenly stepped forward with the central defender Simonic behind him, snatching Iniesta before re-controlling the ball... The football completely disappeared from the range that Iniesta could control.

Of course, Simunic was not the end of panic. He noticed Chu Zhongtian before the action. This stab happened to pass the football to Chu Zhongtian!

By the way, the biggest difference between today's story and the beginning story is that I have a group of teammates worthy of trust!

Chu Zhongtian turned around and received the ball passed by Simunich to him, and then led it forward. The opportunity for him to intercept the ball and fight back after waiting for a long time finally came!

If he can't seize this opportunity, he deserves to be unable to win the championship, and he disappoints his teammates and fans' expectations for him!

"Hey? Hey! Opportunity!!" He Ping, who was originally listless, suddenly became excited. At nearly five o'clock, his roar woke up many people.

Those who planned to turn off the TV in advance to go to bed were frightened and stopped in front of the switch.

On the TV screen, Chu Zhongtian turned around and rushed forward with the ball.

In front of him are two teammates, Ibisevic and Van Nistruei.

Behind him is Salihovic.

In this round, Hoffenheim's fast break is not at the same level as the fast break they showed before, and it looks a bit miserable.

But this will not affect Chu Zhongtian's speed of advancement.

He rushed to Buzksques with the football. Salihovic rushed to chase him desperately in order to be closer to Chu Zhongtian, so that he could help when he needed support. When Chu Zhongtian first came to this team, he would never have such an idea. Unexpectedly, there would be such a day when he dared to be a green leaf... He was running when he saw Chu Zhongtian pass the football backward, and then flashed to the right.

Salihovic saw the Busques in front.

He did not stop the ball or continued to dribble the ball, so he directly sent the football to Chu Zhongtian's side.

Buzks turned around and rushed to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian passed the football sideways. Salihovic ran forward and received the football. There was no one in front of him. Mascherano was on the other side and could not reach him within a few steps.

Salihovic did not pass the football back to Chu Zhongtian this time because he is now trapped in the clamping defense between the two major midfielders, Busquez and Mascherano.

Salihovic directly gave the football to Ibisevic in front.

"Hoffenheim's counterattack! Although the game has reached the 88th minute, their speed is still very fast, and the counterattack is still sharp!!" The German commentator shouted excitedly. He who is familiar with Hoffenheim knows how threatening such a counterattack is.

Ibisevic turned his back to the offensive direction, and without hesitation, he directly sent the football back to Chu Zhongtian who was inserted.
