In the Champions League semi-finals, Juventus VS Maritimo, the game has entered the fourth round of penalty kicks.

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

Buffon read Dzeko's intentions from his eyes.

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

Buffon has stretched his body to the limit, and the fingertips of his right hand have barely touched the ball.

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

This legendary goalkeeper has won the Serie A Best Goalkeeper 12 times, the FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year 5 times, the top ten of the Ballon d'Or 4 times, the Serie A Championship, the Europa League, and the World Cup. He is the only legendary goalkeeper in the honor room.

The only thing missing is the Champions League trophy.

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

It's already the semifinals, it's already the penalty shootout, and we're only one step away from victory!

As long as this penalty kick is saved, the balance of victory will tilt towards Juventus!

As long as you catch yourself...

However, even though Buffon has done his best, he is already 44 years old after all, and his speed is much slower than before. If he were 4 or 5 years younger, he would definitely be able to block this ball easily, but people get older first.

, both speed and bounce are far behind.

Although his fingertips touched the ball, they were unable to stop its progress and the ball still rolled into the net.

When the ball hit the net, the two people who were 12 yards apart seemed to have been drained of all their strength. They all knelt down and looked up to the sky with a sigh!

One is thanking God, and the other is questioning why God is so unfair to him!

Gao Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that his bladder was extremely bloated.

Could this be the legendary one that almost made me pee?!

Pirlo's eyes were dull, and he seemed to have felt that replacing Buffon at the last moment might be a bad move!

The penalty shootout score was 3:2, the total score was 7:6!

The pressure is entirely on Juventus' side.

"Danilo, you must come in!"

"It's all on you!"

"I trust you!"

…

Juventus teammates cheered for Danilo, who was going to play next.

Danilo felt that his heartbeat had reached 180! Especially the heavy tap from Ronaldo on his shoulder made him tremble all over and almost collapsed to the ground!

If he fails to score a penalty, 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 in the media were all "Danilo missed the penalty shootout, Juventus lost the Italian Cup championship"

Damn it! Why did you let yourself do such a thing again!

Standing at the 12-yard position, Danilo's mind went blank, with only the sound of his own heavy breathing in his ears. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

In his confusion, he only heard a whistle in his ear, and then he started running mechanically, kicked off, and shot!

Then he heard the loud lamentations coming from the stands of the Allianz Arena, and his whole body trembled, and then his consciousness returned to normal.

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

Danilo's shot had neither power nor angle. More importantly, he followed the direction of his gaze blankly, and Niu Gensheng easily judged it.

"Great! Niu Gensheng has made a contribution! 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 has turned white, and the CCTV commentator roared wildly and passionately. He copied the lines of his predecessor Huang Jianxiang and continued the other party's madness.

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

Because Niu Gensheng is the hope of Chinese football.

It’s hard to say whether Italy has a tradition of great left backs, but as a weak team, the Chinese team’s goalkeeper has always been good!

Now, the eyes of the whole world have turned to Maritimo's last veteran, Adulis!

This veteran, who is over 40 years old and has returned to football after retirement, has become a key figure in determining victory or defeat.

The TV broadcast camera switched back and forth between Aduriz, Buffon, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pirlo, and Gao Yuan, and the intention was self-evident.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who has squatted on the ground. This tough guy who never admits defeat has single-handedly turned the tide, but now he cannot decide the fate of himself and the team!

"At such a critical moment, Gao Yuan chose Adulis, who had few chances to play. I wonder if he regrets this moment?" the commentator on Italian TV did not forget to sarcastically say.

Of course Gao Yuan has no regrets! Acting after planning and acting with perseverance are his mottos in coaching and life.

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

He believed that Adulis would do it!

The referee's whistle sounded and Gao Yuan closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

After a moment, cheers came from the bench next to me!

He quickly opened his eyes and saw that the ball had landed firmly in the net!

Buffon fell in the wrong direction, tears streaming down his face.

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

Maritimo wins!

Maridimo celebrated wildly. In stark contrast, the lonely Juventus general left many people in tears.

A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet!

The moment Cristiano Ronaldo scored the penalty kick, he sat down on the turf and his eyes were blank for a moment, but soon he stood up and his eyes became firm again!

Failure is nothing! What big storms and waves have I not experienced? I can single-handedly inherit the two golden generations of Portugal! I can prove myself in the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A. This little storm is nothing!

No big deal, come back next year!

The age of 38 has not dampened Ronaldo's fighting spirit! Instead, it has made him more mature and determined.

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

He put one hand around Dybala, whose eyes were red, and the other hand around Chiesa, who was crying bitterly. The strength of his arms made them feel the strength.

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

When Ronaldo walked to the tunnel, he found the opponent's coach Gao Yuan 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 thing is usually said by the coach to the opponent's players, but this time it was the other way around. However, when these words came from Ronaldo's mouth, there was no sense of abruptness or violation.

"Cristiano, I hope we can cooperate in the future!" Gao Yuan also got straight to the point without any politeness.

Ronaldo didn't say anything, he just raised the corners of his mouth, smiled softly, and walked deeper into the tunnel.

Gao Yuan didn't get a response, and felt unwilling to do so. Looking at the other person's tall back, he suddenly added: "Work with me, and I will make you return to the top! Win a few more Golden Globes!"

Ronaldo's body stagnated, and he slowly turned his head and looked high into the distance.
Chapter completed!
