It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 113 111 Crayfish

Manchester United restarted the ball and passed it back to Vidic.

After receiving the ball, Vidic passed it directly to Ronaldo.

Just as Sylvinho was pressing forward, Ronaldo passed the ball back to Giggs, who handed it over to the midfield for reorganization.

As soon as Giggs received the ball, he was attacked from both sides by Charles and Xavi. Giggs could only find a way to transfer the ball.

But just as he kicked the ball out, Puyol rushed forward and kicked the ball into Carrick's leg. After bouncing, the ball moved forward and Rooney had no time to react and was still standing there.

Xavi immediately turned around and took the ball away smoothly, and at this moment, Charles also ran forward from his original position.

The moment Charles started, Carrick grabbed Charles' clothes without hesitation as he saw Xavi passing the ball to him.

Feeling the pull from behind, Charles reached out to push Carrick away and stopped the ball with the inside of his left foot, while Giggs also rushed over from beside Xavi.

Now Charles was directly surrounded by three people, and there was Evra in front of him.

Charles flicked the ball from his left foot to his right foot, and when he saw Giggs in his peripheral vision, he flicked the ball to the left again with the inside of his right foot.

When Carrick saw Charles push the ball to the right, he also stretched out his right foot and took a step to the right. However, he did not expect that Charles changed direction again at this time. Carrick wanted to change direction forcefully. Just when he pushed the ground with his left foot to change his center of gravity, he almost fell down with his legs split.

When Carrick barely maintained his center of gravity and tried to keep up with Charles, he didn't expect Charles to push the ground with his right foot again, changed direction again, and shook Carrick off again.

At this moment, just when Charles got rid of Carrick, Evra saw Charles running and also came over, stretching out his left foot to intercept the ball, but unexpectedly Charles was one step faster and stretched out his left foot in front of him again. The ball was like a hooked fish, biting Charles' foot.

At the same time, the moment Charles hooked the ball with his left foot and landed on the ground, he immediately switched his supporting foot, twisting his body, and instantly turned from facing Evra sideways to protecting the ball.

Just when Evra was still behind him trying to intercept the ball, Charles adjusted the ball with his right foot one or two steps, tapped it lightly with the outside of his left foot, and waved his right hand at the same time.

"Snapped--"

Busquets naturally noticed this. Facing Charles' pass, he stood still, kicked the ball with his left foot, completed the refraction task, and transferred the ball with one foot.

According to the original plan, Henry, who was standing on the wing, should have received the ball smoothly, but O'Shea, who came in from behind, was allergic to Barcelona's precise coordination and blocked the passing route between the two players at lightning speed.

Busquets also realized the mistake in the pass and moved towards him with the entire defense line.

O'Shea had just run a few steps with the ball when he saw Busquets pressing him step by step, and Charles who had changed positions and ran to the wing to press him.

Just as Charles was about to block the connection between him and Ronaldo, O'Shea also noticed this and quickly pushed the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot.

Ronaldo received the ball sideways, pushed it forward with his right foot and turned around at the same time. Sylveño wanted to force Ronaldo to the sideline while preventing him from cutting inside.

But he was not fighting alone, as Charles, with his little tail, was still chasing him relentlessly.

Ronaldo pushed the ball out with his right foot again, and at the same time he was stuck between the ball and Sylverinho.

Just as Sylvegno and Charr were pressing forward, Ronaldo braked suddenly, hit the ball with his left heel, and then pushed the ball back with the inside of his right foot.

Sylveno was shaken by Ronaldo, but that was not the end. Ronaldo did another half bicycle kick, and while Sylveno was still hesitating, Ronaldo pushed the ball with his left foot.

Park Ji-sung, who had just switched positions with Ronaldo, stopped the ball with his left foot and found himself in a situation with Busquets in front of him, Charles behind him and Pique on the right.

In such a three-person double-team, Park Ji-sung still wanted to break free. After turning around to protect the ball, he knocked the ball towards the midfield with his right foot and opened his arms at the same time, like an old hen protecting her chicks.

But "Eagle" Xavi and Charr will not give up intercepting the ball just because of Park Ji-sung's love for the ball.

Park Ji-sung had a beautiful idea, but he regretted it the moment he kicked the ball out - he used too much force, and the ball was kicked out too far away. He stretched his legs but still couldn't reach it.

At this moment, his outstretched hands really looked like an old hen spreading its wings to maintain balance.

However, his wings still couldn't give him much power. A second before he fell to the ground with a "pa", Charles quickly hooked the ball away with his right foot again.

Charles didn't wait for Park Ji-sung to get up, but ran forward with the ball.

O'Shea, Giggs and others retreated and watched Charles' movements.

"Guard him, guard him, don't give him space to shoot, don't you want the championship?"

"Take him, take him, take him!"

Ferguson covered his chest and kept roaring towards the court.

Charles took a look and found that Manchester United's backcourt was unusually empty. The player closest to the front was not even across the center line, while his teammate Messi was standing right at the center.

Seeing this, Xiaer came up with a plan.

At this moment, Carrick heard Ferguson's voice, although he didn't know what he was saying, and at the moment when Xia was about to kick, he fell to the ground and tackled the ball almost at the same time as Giggs.

Charles had already kicked up while running, so he could only push the ground hard with his left foot and jump up to avoid the two tackles.

"call out--"

Zheng Peng left Hansai and returned to Hu Tian.

When Van der Sar saw the wild goose flying from the midfield, he took out his bow and arrow and iron pot, hung a layer of net on the goal, and at the moment the ball flew over, he just pounced with both hands.

"Snapped."

The ball fell into the iron pot prepared by Van der Sar, and Charles also fell to the ground.

"Manchester United's defense against Charles is getting tighter and tighter. Barcelona has been controlling the ball. Even if there are occasional passing errors, Manchester United's players still can't break through their defense even if they push the ball to the front court."

"When Charles was dribbling the ball just now, Carrick and Giggs had to tackle him together, which caused Charles's movement technique to be greatly deformed when shooting."

"The only thing to be thankful for now is that no one was injured."

Guardiola, who was standing on the sidelines, had a completely dark face.

If he hadn't seen Charles climb up on his own, he didn't know if he would be able to catch his breath.

If Ferguson had two bullets, would he really leave one for Victoria? Guardiola didn't know and didn't care, but if he really had two bullets, he would definitely leave one for Ferguson.

There is one more for Florentino.

"What the hell are you doing? You're committing murder!"

Puyol rushed up without any courtesy, pointing at the nose of Giggs who had just been pulled up and cursing.

Giggs was not afraid at all. He looked at Puyol's curly hair, sneered, and stared into his eyes without giving in.

The referee Sabka saw this and quickly ran over to separate the two players, giving each of them 2006 slaps. This was his first time to officiate a Champions League final. He had previously officiated the UEFA Cup final in the 2007-2008 season and the semi-final between Germany and Turkey in the European Cup.

The previous semi-final between Barcelona and Chelsea was full of controversy because of the referee, and even now there are Chelsea fans sending death threats to Henning.

But it's not that he has no experience with Manchester United.

Barcelona fans believe that he helped Manchester United escape danger at the Dragon Stadium in previous games; but Manchester United fans believe that he missed two of their penalties last season.

This game has attracted much attention, and the referee factor is of paramount importance.

Sabka doesn't want to be the focus of the game.

Puyol had no idea what Sabka was thinking and was very unhappy with his attempt to smooth things over. "Why didn't you give him a yellow card? If Charles hadn't dodged a foul like this, he might never be able to play football again in his life."

"Do you know what you are doing? They are ruining the career of a talented player, and you are their accomplice..."

Sabka walked straight up to Puyol. He could speak four languages ​​and understood what he was saying.

"Shut up, I know what to do, I don't need you to teach me."

As the captain, Puyol is not afraid of the referee at all. When it comes to the interests of the team, he is very meticulous.

"You are ruining the children's football dreams..."

When Charles saw the referee putting his hand into his shirt pocket, he was so scared that he immediately stood in front of Puyol.

Of course, Sabka was just pretending.

Now he has rehearsed every penalty on the field and the penalty criteria before the game.

He is quite content with his days as a supervisor in a multinational company and a referee in his spare time.

Before the game, he knew that Ferguson was very unhappy with him. Almost all British media were worried that Manchester United would be "under the rule" and they all watched the game through a magnifying glass.

But the Spanish media is not to be trifled with.

He didn't want to receive death threats and lose his high-paying job.

Puyol, who was blocked by Charles behind him, stopped picking on the referee and turned to Giggs.

"Just play football properly and don't commit fouls!"

Giggs was as ruthless as Puyol, and he stiffened his neck and looked at Puyol fiercely.

Charles quickly pressed Puyol's shoulders and forced him to turn around, "Okay, okay."

After the previous conflict, coupled with Charles's long-range shot, now in addition to Carrick, O'Shea and Giggs will occasionally watch over Charles together.

Van der Sar passed the ball to Vidic again. Vidic ran a few steps with the ball, faced with Messi standing in front of him with a fierce look, and thought about the score between Manchester United and Barcelona. Finally, he made up his mind and swung his right foot hard.

"call out--"

The ball flew into the air, crossed the entire field, and suddenly flew into Barcelona's penalty area.

Valdes attacked and tried to stop the ball, but the ball was going too fast. It contained so much expectation and disappointment that it rolled out of the baseline in the blink of an eye.

Putting the ball on the ground, Valdes looked at the players on the field again, rubbed his knees, and waved to Pique who was not far in front of him.

After a run-up, Pique swung the ball vigorously and sent it forward again.

Henry aimed at the flying ball, first stopped it with his chest, and then used his right calf to point the ball towards Messi who was standing not far away.

Giggs and Anderson wanted to snatch the ball, but Messi was one step faster, dribbled the ball between the two and gently pushed it with the inside of his right foot.

Charles turned sideways and blocked the ball with his right foot, then tapped the ground with his left foot to adjust the direction.

At this time, Barcelona's three forwards were all behind Manchester United's midfield barrier. After seeing the direction, Charles hit the ball with the instep of his foot. The ball drew a semicircle on the grass, just bypassing the referee and accurately finding Henry.

Henry didn't make any adjustments and passed the ball to Messi.

As soon as Messi received the ball, Giggs and Anderson all surrounded him like cats seeing fish. At the same time, O'Shea, Vidic and Ferdinand in front of him were also staring at the ball at his feet.

After receiving the ball, Messi accelerated to the side, and O'Shea followed him like a shadow.

Messi pushed the ball inwards with his left foot, and almost in the blink of an eye, he pushed the ball back with his right foot. O'Shea subconsciously moved to the left, trying to stop Messi, but at the moment he moved, Messi hit the ball with his left foot, and immediately went from a sudden brake to a quick start.

Just as O'Shea was about to stop it, the ball had already hit the right side, in the completely opposite direction of him. Charles, who had just been near the midfield, also rushed over at this time.

O'Shea had no intention of intercepting Messi who passed from his left, and almost stumbled as he rushed towards Charles.

Now, the only thing he was thankful for was that Charles had Carrick and Giggs around to interfere with his actions.

Charles glanced at Giggs and Carrick who were standing beside him, and the moment he received the ball with his left foot, he used the inside of his foot to push the ball back from the gap between the two of them. Just as the two turned around and tried to intercept the ball, Charles once again passed from behind Carrick and kicked the ball with the inside of his right foot before the two of them.

"boom--"

Messi and Eto'o, standing in the penalty area, ran quickly to the back point, and Ferdinand and Vidic followed quickly.

But the ball was not destined for Messi, but for Xavi who was running wildly on the wing.

Xavi kicked the ball.

"call out--"

Evra did not stay in a daze. He quickly fell to the ground and dove sideways, using his body to block the violent ball.

Just as the ball rolled out of bounds, he covered his chest with his hands, curled up like a red crayfish, and kept breathing in and out.

"O'Shea sacrificed himself to block the ball. He was just this close."

"The cooperation between Messi and Charles, when Messi passes the ball back, there is no need to look at who is behind him, everyone can think that this person will be Charles."

"When Charles easily got rid of two people after receiving the ball and finally passed it to his teammate to complete the shot, everyone would think of it."

"But no one would have thought that the ball was not passed to Messi or Eto'o, but to Xavi who came in from behind."

"Because even though we were outsiders, we didn't have the vision that Charles had, to see Xavi coming from behind. We were all focused on Messi and Eto'o."
