Football: The Strongest Post-Zero Generation

Chapter 395 Hearing Thunder in Silence

An unexpected surprise can often bring great joy, which was reflected on the faces of Real Madrid fans and players at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, who celebrated the goal at the end of the game almost crazily.

The side that was set off was undoubtedly the incredible Liverpool fans. They had the most wonderful time in their lives from falling behind by two goals to equalizing the score, but who would have thought that Karius would make such a low-level mistake again?

The game came to the 84th minute when the ball was lost, and it was lost in such a cowardly way, which was a huge blow to the team's morale.

The players helplessly put their hands on their hips and sighed. Even Li Qing's mouth twitched slightly, but his mentality was better than that of his teammates. He was mentally prepared when he saw Karius make a super low-level mistake.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Karius, who made the first fatal mistake, will definitely have a second one.

Fortunately, Li Qing still had a [Superstar Moment] in his hand, otherwise there would be no way to fill the big hole dug by Karius.

Bale, who helped Real Madrid score again, was as excited as a child. Zidane, the Real Madrid coach in front of the home team coaching bench, raised his arms and shouted after a long breath, venting the huge pressure accumulated in his heart.

The score of 4:3 may not help Real Madrid beat Liverpool, but as time gets shorter and shorter, the possibility of Liverpool equalizing the score becomes increasingly weak, which is no different from winning the game in advance.

Klopp, who was standing ten meters away from him, still had a confused expression on his face. He would never have thought that Karius would make two same low-level mistakes in the same game.

If Karius had not made a mistake, the current score would be 3:2, and it was still unknown who would win or lose.

Now it seems that Real Madrid has a much greater chance of winning.

So at this moment Klopp was ready to replace Karius with Mignolet. The problem was that the team was one goal behind and there was little time left. It was not cost-effective to use the quota on Karius.

But a new problem arose. If a player who strengthened the offense was replaced, what if Karius committed a heinous crime again?

What is the use of attacking?

Looking at Karius lying in front of the goal with his hands covering his face, Klopp decided to use Mignolet. The team's bench depth was insufficient, and he didn't know who to replace to strengthen the offense. It would be better to stabilize the defense first.

So he turned to Mignolet on the bench and said, "Simon, go warm up."

In fact, Klopp's decision to replace Karius has another deeper meaning. Karius is no longer in his current state. Staying on the court will not only bring hidden dangers, but also bring torment and endless guilt to Karius.

"Who would have thought that Karius, the goalkeeper who has kept the most shutouts in the Champions League this season, would make two fatal mistakes in a row in the Champions League final?"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun was still venting his dissatisfaction until the scene changed and he exclaimed: "Klopp is going to replace Karius with Mignolet? This will be the first time in the history of the Champions League final!"

At this point, he changed the subject: "Klopp is really a very courageous coach. Karius must have collapsed after two consecutive fatal mistakes in the Champions League final. Staying on the court will not only bring potential risks to Liverpool, but also make him completely lose confidence, so this is also a kind of indirect protection."

Tianchao 5 commentator He Wei was a little surprised: "Oh? Mignolet is going to replace Karius? This decision must be approved by all Liverpool fans sitting in front of the TV? Two consecutive fatal mistakes are unforgivable in the Champions League final."

Both the Liverpool fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV thought that Klopp's choice was correct.

Li Qing originally wanted to comfort Karius and let the team have no worries in the next game, but he saw from the corner of his eye that the sidelines were going to make adjustments, and the substitute goalkeeper Mignolet was standing on the sidelines. He raised his eyebrows at first, and then he was happy.

Instead of spending time helping Karius adjust his mentality, it is better to eliminate the trouble as soon as possible. The game time is getting shorter and shorter, and the situation of falling behind in the score forced him to use the skill [Superstar Moment] in advance, for fear that he would make a fatal mistake after the score was tied, and then it would be really helpless.

Karius, who stood up, saw Mignolet standing on the sidelines, and his heart ached, but he felt more relieved.

Today's game was completely different. In the first half, it was as if there was divine help, but in the second half, the god of bad luck possessed the team, causing the team to lose a good situation.

"papappapaaaaa——"

Karius walked out of the field, and the Liverpool fans in the audience did not burst into boos, but instead made thunderous applause. It was obvious that they had not forgotten Karius' outstanding contribution to the team in the first half.

Li Qing, Milner, Firmino, Van Dijk and other Liverpool players patted Karius on the shoulders to encourage him, hoping that this young man from Germany would not forget his original aspirations and create new heights in his future career.

Liverpool coach Klopp took the initiative to hug Karius and comforted his compatriot: "Loris, forget the bad second half, you are still one of the best goalkeepers in the world."

Mignolet ran to the goal area, and the Liverpool players on the field also encouraged him. Li Qing fully incited his teammates' enthusiasm in response to their declining morale: "It's no big deal to fall behind together. It's not like we didn't score two goals in this game. Just do it again."

The game resumed, and Liverpool players with the advantage of kicking off quickly organized an attack. Li Qing, who got the ball, was the Liverpool player that Real Madrid's defenders feared the most. They were as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and were obviously worried that Li Qing would continue to dribble.

Li Qing had a broad vision and saw that Real Madrid players were in a good position. He pulled the ball back with his left foot and gave it to central defender Van Dijk.

The frontcourt players opened up the distance to both sides to enrich the three-dimensional attack.

After several consecutive passes, the ball came to Salah's feet on the right.

"aooaoaooaooaooooooo——"

Liverpool fans at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev regained their fighting spirit and shouted loudly to support the Liverpool players who were struggling on the field.

Considering Salah's excellent skills, Marcelo and Kovacic were as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and even central defender Nacho was ready.

At this moment, Salah, who cut inside, suddenly flicked the outside of his left foot, and the ball rolled to the middle.

The on-site director switched the camera, and the voice of Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun suddenly rose eight octaves: "Li Qing——"

Li Qing, who appeared on the broadcast screen, silently said in his heart: "Superstar moment, use it."

Casemiro saw Li Qing's right foot naturally stand still while moving, and raised his left foot. He used his left shoulder to hit Li Qing's right shoulder from the side, and almost knocked Li Qing, who had completed the long shot, out.

But Casemiro's action was half a beat late, and the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball. The broadcast screen followed it. Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas looked at the football that suddenly flew into the penalty area and subconsciously turned sideways to save it, but his arm span was affected by his height, and his outstretched right arm could not touch the football.

The powerful football rubbed the inside of the left post of the goal and hit the snow-white net. The entire Kiev Olympic Stadium was silent for a full two seconds.

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun blurted out: "Hearing thunder in silence, Li Qing is so cool! He used a wonderful world wave to help Liverpool equalize the score again! 4:4!"
