Chapter 126: Gunner Dynasty

The bright lights filled the scene, and the Stadium of Light was in an extremely quiet environment.

In the stadium, the players were nervously arranging the quota and order of the penalty shootout.

In the stands, the fans of both sides dared not breathe.

For any game, the penalty shootout will definitely bring a sense of tension and excitement that makes people's blood boil.

One ball determines the outcome, the sudden death rule, etc.

These tell everyone that every penalty and every choice is extremely important.

At the same time, this also puts great pressure on the players.

"The first penalty! Who will come?!"

Mourinho and the Arsenal players gathered together, his eyes looked around, and finally locked on Giroud.

The first penalty is very important.

This needs to usher in a good start for the team, and it also affects the mentality of the players who will take the penalty later.

The first penalty is also full of pressure.

This is a game between the two sides in shooting skills and mentality, so any mistake will be a complete loss.

Giroud hesitated under Mourinho's gaze.

His condition is good, but it doesn't mean he has the courage to take the first penalty.

The pressure is too great!

Lekai also noticed Giroud's abnormality, so he raised his hand and said, "Coach, let me do it!"

Lekai volunteered, but Mourinho waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "You have to take the last one!"

Immediately, Mourinho looked at Giroud and said sternly, "Hey! Look at me."

Giroud looked up at Mourinho, who was full of encouragement at this time, saying, "Man, we all know how good you are at taking penalties. Letting you be the first penalty taker is something we all recognize. You are more suitable for this role, and we also believe that you can withstand the pressure."

"You are our No. 9, our top scorer. You will bring us goals, right?"

With Mourinho's encouragement, Giroud's heart was also stirred. He took a deep breath, nodded slowly and solemnly, and said, "Boss! I'll do it!"

Pah Pah! ! !

Mourinho reached out and patted Giroud's shoulder heavily. This was an expectation and also a trust.

"The second penalty taker, Mane."

"The third penalty taker, Eriksen!"

"The fourth penalty taker, Odegaard!"

"Me?"

Odegaard pointed at his nose in astonishment.

He didn't expect that he would get a penalty in such an important game.

This is the penalty shootout of the Champions League final.

Mourinho turned his head to look at Odegaard, his hawk-like eyes piercing the opponent.

"You have no confidence?"

Odegaard opened his mouth slightly, he didn't know how to answer.

It was a little too sudden after all.

And in such an important game, he really felt too much pressure to take a penalty.

"If you want to be a qualified Gunner, you can't always hide under the umbrella of your teammates. Pressure can destroy a person, but it can also make a person successful. It depends on whether you can withstand this pressure." Mourinho said sternly: "If you feel too much pressure, I can choose someone else. Now tell me, can I trust you?"

Odegaard's face slowly turned red, not knowing whether it was nervous or excited.

Soon, he raised his head suddenly and said loudly: "Leave it to me, coach!"

Looking at the fighting spirit in Odegaard's eyes, Mourinho's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and nodded; "Very good!"

After speaking, Mourinho turned his head and looked at Lekai and said: "You are the last penalty taker."

Lekai did not respond and nodded slightly.

At the same time, Bayern Munich on the other side was also ranking penalties.

The first penalty taker, Lewandowski.

The second penalty taker: Gnabry.

The third penalty taker, Thiago.

The fourth penalty taker: Coman.

The fifth penalty taker: Muller.

At the same time, the goalkeepers of both sides were also ready.

After confirming that both sides have completed their preparations, the players who will take the penalty kicks, led by the referee, began to move to the center circle of the midfield.

They stood in a row in the center circle, and the goalkeepers of the two teams would take the penalty kicks to the goal.

At this time, the atmosphere in the stadium was already suffocating.

Some timid fans even closed their eyes, put their hands together, and began to recite scriptures and pray in a mysterious way to relieve their stress.

If the fans were like this, the pressure on the players would be even greater.

"The game has finally come to this moment, the penalty shootout! The penalty kickers of both sides have arrived on the field."

Andy Gray was also extremely nervous at this time. He paused for a moment, calmed down, and then said: "For Bayern Munich, they were able to equalize the score twice and drag the game to this moment. Their performance is already very good."

"It is because of Bayern Munich's resilience that the suspense of the game has remained until now!"

"And for Arsenal, their seven-time champion! Their dynasty will be decided at this moment!"

"Can the Gunners win the seventh trophy of the season and complete the control of Europe and the league for two consecutive years?"

Speaking of this, even Andy Gray didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment.

Richard on the side saw that his partner was stuck, and immediately said: "This is definitely a historic moment for Arsenal, and the same is true for Kai."

"As the captain of Arsenal, his achievements and achievements are already the most significant moments in Arsenal's history. There is no doubt that even in history, Kai is the undisputed number one captain!"

"He opened up the most glorious moment for Arsenal, and whether they can become a dynasty depends on their performance in this penalty shootout."

"We saw that Arsenal's goalkeeper Martinez has walked towards the goal. This is the national goalkeeper from Argentina. In the national team, he guards the goal for the Pampas Eagles, and in the club, he is the hardest player of the Gunners. A wall."

"Martinez won the Golden Glove Award twice in the league and once in the Champions League during his time at Arsenal. He is one of the best goalkeepers in recent years!"

"But he will be facing off against Germany's national goalkeeper Neuer! How will these two outstanding goalkeepers perform?"

Martinez was already in front of the goal when he saw Bayern Munich's first penalty taker Lewandowski coming to the penalty spot.

Martinez didn't speak, but his tall body blocked the goal like a wall.

He moved left and right, spreading his arms to disturb Lewandowski's mentality.

But as the saying goes, there are no cowards before twelve yards!

Dare to stand at the penalty spot, which is brave enough for the player himself.

What's more, it's a top center like Lewandowski.

The mood at the scene suddenly became tense. Lewandowski had already begun to retreat to measure the distance of his approach, pausing to wait for the referee to blow the whistle.

At this moment, everyone's breathing seemed to have stopped, and they were all watching with bated breath.

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

Lewandowski didn't hesitate at all and immediately ran towards the penalty spot.

Martinez also moved left and right for the final interference. After being unable to determine the direction of the opponent's penalty kick, Martinez suddenly rushed to the right.

But the next second, Lewandowski took a penalty penalty to the left.

The ball flew into the goal close to the goal post.

When the ball hit the net, the Bayern Munich fans burst into loud cheers.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

"Lower left corner!! A clean penalty kick, Lewandowski scored the first goal for Bayern Munich!"

After scoring the goal, Lewandowski also excitedly celebrated by pumping his fists continuously.

Martinez, on the other hand, hit the ground hard to vent his anger.

"Now the pressure is on Arsenal's side. The first Arsenal player to take the penalty is Giroud!"

"The centers on both sides are leading the charge, and they are both the top scorers in the team. Can Giroud score a goal for Arsenal?"

Giroud took the ball from the referee and immediately pressed the ball to the penalty spot.

At this moment, Arsenal fans almost felt suffocated.

They couldn't imagine how they would face such a situation after losing points.

Under the camera, Giroud's movements were clean and neat. After placing the ball, he started to retreat directly, and then stopped at the penalty spot, as if he couldn't wait for the penalty kick.

At this time, the referee indicated that free throws could be taken.

Giroud didn't hesitate at all and immediately started running.

Neuer also reacted instantly.

Giroud pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and hit the middle point of a straight line.

Neuer was also shocked. He immediately straightened his feet and tried hard to reach the ball.

"In the middle of Giroud's shot, Neuer was reaching for the ball, and the ball went in!!"

Andy Gray jumped up.

Although the ball rubbed Neuer's instep, it still bounced into the net.

Andy Gray, who is also an Arsenal fan, also let out a long sigh of relief.

"This goal was so thrilling. No one expected that Giroud would choose a straight line for the first penalty kick. This was a very risky move, but he still managed to deceive Neuer."

"Currently, players from both sides have scored goals one after another, and the score is 1:1."

Bayern's second penalty kicker is Gnabry.

Before Gnabry's penalty kick, Martinez still had no interference.

This also allowed Gnabry to successfully score the ball.

"Gnabry completed the penalty easily. In this penalty shootout, Bayern Munich's penalty kick was very stable."

When it was Arsenal's second penalty kicker Mane's turn, Mane kicked the lower left corner, but the path of the ball was guessed by Neuer, but Neuer still rubbed the ball and failed to save it. .

Arsenal escaped death twice in a row.

"Arsenal's penalty kick stability is somewhat lacking. Neuer has touched the ball twice in a row. This will put a lot of psychological pressure on the player who takes the next penalty kick."

As Bayern Munich's third penalty taker walked towards the penalty spot, Martinez finally spoke.

"He just stepped on the penalty spot and he put the ball too far."

Martinez protested towards the referee.

This sentence was also heard by Thiago who took the penalty kick, which made Thiago couldn't help but frown.

After listening to Martinez's protest, the referee turned around and checked, and finally showed that there was no problem with Thiago's position.

But even so, Thiago's heart still began to feel restless.

At the same time, he looked at Martinez's shrugging and curling of his lips, feeling a little bit itchy with hatred.

Of course, this scene was not captured by the camera. By the time the camera screen appeared, the game had already reached penalty points.

At this time, Bayern Munich fans saw that Thiago had already started to run.

But compared to the previous few people, Thiago's run-up distance is longer and his sprint speed is faster.

This run-up makes the fans feel strongly uneasy.

Martinez also waited for the opponent in small steps, and at the moment of the opponent's penalty kick, he flew to the left without hesitation.

"Thiago's penalty kick, a powerful shot from the left, the ball was saved!!! Martinez!!!!"

Andy Gray jumped up from his seat.

Martinez saved it.

The penalty shootout finally ushered in a change, and the first to save the ball was Arsenal, which was not stable before.

This penalty kick was like nectar that soaked the hearts of all Gunners fans.

At the same time, the entire Stadium of Light was also a boiling scene.

Mourinho and others on the sidelines also jumped up suddenly, and they celebrated wantonly.

Lekai and others also excitedly punched to celebrate.

On the other hand, for Bayern Munich, this ball hit their chest like a heavy hammer, and Thiago's mind was blank, and he returned to the formation with a dull look.

Slow-motion playback shows that Thiago's ball was very powerful, but the angle was not tricky, so the moment Martinez jumped in the right direction, the ball was destined to be saved.

"Thiago missed the penalty, this time the pressure came to Bayern Munich, Neuer must save a penalty"

Arsenal's third penalty taker, Eriksen came on the court.

He came to the goal calmly.

Neuer seemed extremely active at this time, constantly moving back and forth in the goal, but Eriksen understood that this was a manifestation of the opponent's nervousness.

At this time, Bayern Munich had one foot on the edge of the cliff.

Calmly scored a goal!

Eriksen kept cheering himself up, and the fans at the scene also quieted down instantly.

With the whistle, Eriksen took a run-up penalty kick.

Eriksen paused and changed his rhythm before the penalty kick, which caught Neuer off guard. His whole body had already moved to the left, and Eriksen pushed to the right.

"Incredibly calm! The Danish midfielder scored another goal for Arsenal. The current penalty score is 3:2! Arsenal leads by one penalty kick."

Now, the pressure came instantly.

Bayern Munich fans have begun to hold their hearts. They feel difficulty breathing and are too anxious at this time.

Arsenal fans feel very hopeful.

Bayern Munich's fourth penalty taker, Coman.

Martinez repeated his old tricks. He walked to the penalty area, picked up the ball and patted it on the ground. When Coman came to the penalty spot, he threw the ball to the right, which clearly meant "pick it up yourself".

Coman was so angry that he could only hold his breath to pick up the ball.

At this time, Martinez turned around and clapped his hands to make a noise. The Arsenal fans at the scene also cooperated very well and kept mocking loudly.

"This guy is so bad!"

"This is psychological interference, well done!"

"Haha! This guy is so pitiful!"

"No penalty! No penalty!"

The ridicule of Arsenal fans began to seriously interfere with Coman's mentality. When he placed the ball, he found that it was difficult to keep his mentality calm.

But the referee had already signaled that he could take a penalty kick, so Coman could only bite the bullet and take the penalty kick.

Coman started to run up. Because of Thiago's previous experience, he did not dare to exert force, but instead pursued the angle.

But it was precisely because of this mentality that when he took the penalty kick, he saw Martinez make the right judgment on the direction again, and his heart trembled, his ankle loosened, and the angle that was originally intended to hit the lower right corner was also a little off.

"Please!"

After Coman took the penalty kick, he also felt that it was not good, and he prayed in his heart.

But watching the ball fly out by the goal post, Coman's face suddenly became pale.

"Another missed penalty! Bayern Munich lost two goals in a row!!"

Andy Gray and Arsenal fans were greatly encouraged.

At this moment, they felt that the championship was within reach.

Morale also rose suddenly.

Neuer's breathing became heavy, and he knew that the moment of crisis had arrived.

Arsenal's fourth penalty kick, if this ball could not be saved, they would completely lose the game.

At this moment, Neuer was under a lot of pressure.

"Go! Don't be too stressed!"

On the other side, Lucky also patted Odegaard's shoulder, but he found that the guy's neck was a little cold, and his body was a little stiff.

"Hey! Relax!"

Lucky frowned and shouted.

But Odegaard did not respond at all, and this scene also made Lucky and Arsenal players feel a little bad.

This guy's psychological pressure is too great.

This is also the case. Odegaard's head is full of thoughts at this time. As long as he scores this goal, they will be the champion of this Champions League, and he will become Arsenal's hero.

But because of this, his pressure is the greatest.

Odegaard's mind is blank, and he mechanically comes to the penalty spot and puts the ball in the penalty area.

When he looked up at the goal, his vision suddenly went dark.

When Odegaard regained consciousness, he saw Neuer waving his arms in celebration.

With his eyes wide open, he tried hard to find the ball in the goal, and finally saw it on the billboard behind the baseline.

"I missed the penalty!"

At this moment, Odegaard felt dizzy.

He screwed up.

"Odegaard missed the penalty. The mentality of the young player is still too easily disturbed and unable to withstand the pressure. However, for Arsenal, they still maintained their advantage."

"The current penalty score is still 3:2. Arsenal missed one penalty and Bayern Munich missed two."

"The game has come to the fifth round of the penalty shootout. For Muller, he must score this goal. At the same time, for Neuer, he must save Arsenal's fifth penalty. Only in this way can they hope to enter the stage of sudden death."

Muller's expression was extremely solemn.

Compared with his usual funny image, Muller's brows were also frowned at this time.

At this moment, no matter how funny a person is, he must be serious. He needs to be responsible for this penalty and for the team.

When Muller walked out, Martinez walked towards the ball again.

But this time, Muller did not sit and wait for death. Instead, he quickened his pace to the penalty spot, controlled the ball, and immediately protested to the referee.

The referee was also dissatisfied with the scene of Martinez throwing the ball out before, so he stopped Martinez's action and asked him to return to the goal line.

Martinez failed to interfere, so he could only run back helplessly.

At this time, Muller had completed the measurement of the run-up and lowered his head throughout the whole process.

At the moment the whistle sounded, Muller suddenly started and immediately shot the ball with great force.

The ball flew accurately into the dead corner on the left.

This time, Martinez failed to predict the direction of the opponent's shot.

Bayern Munich continued to hope.

"Hu~~~~~~~"

Andy Gray took a long breath.

At this point in the game, his heart felt a little painful and he was nervous.

He was like this, what should Arsenal fans do?

But he still had to complete his job as a commentator.

"The penalty shootout has come to the final step, and one goal will decide the outcome!"

"Arsenal's fifth penalty shootout player is their captain, Kai!"

"Kai has once again become a key player for Arsenal. Can he bear the burden like before and bring victory to the Gunners, and also bring them the third Champions League trophy?"

The scene was still silent.

At this moment, the eyes of the scene and even the whole world were focused on Lucky.

The current penalty score is 3:3.

The last goal of the penalty shootout, as long as Lucky scores this penalty, Arsenal will win.

All Arsenal players have stood up, they look at the court and Lucky shoulder to shoulder.

Martinez knelt on the sidelines, he lowered his head, and did not dare to look at the position of the goal.

The Arsenal fans at the scene dared not to breathe, fearing that any movement would disturb Lucky, but soon they began to cheer again to counter the boos from Bayern Munich fans.

The whole stadium was extremely noisy.

Lucky walked to the penalty spot step by step.

He gently placed the ball on the penalty spot, stood up and straightened his back, tightening the captain's armband on his arm.

His eyes were fixed on Neuer on the opposite side.

The two looked at each other, Neuer couldn't help frowning and secretly cursing.

All he saw in Lekai's eyes was "confidence".

"I'll kick to the left!"

Lekai said to Neuer before retreating.

But it was this sentence that made Neuer's mentality explode.

Neuer's body became visibly stiff, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

The situation was quite good before, but because of one sentence, his mentality completely collapsed.

Neuer was in a mess at this time.

And the referee did not give Neuer any chance to prepare.

Beep! !

The whistle sounded.

Lekai decisively took a run-up.

The wind whistled in his ears, Lekai ran wantonly, his right foot was like a bow, the ball was like an arrow, and he killed with one shot!

Lower left corner!

It really was the lower left corner!

And Neuer didn't make any moves throughout the whole process.

The ball went in!

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"

"Goal!! Goal! Goal!!!"

"Arsenal is the champion!!! They won the seventh championship of the season! They are the champions!!"

The commentator on the scene roared suddenly.

At this moment, all the Arsenal fans in the stadium burst into violent cheers.

The Arsenal players in the stadium could no longer remain calm.

They celebrated, cheered, and shouted fiercely.

At this moment, they were just ecstatic.

On this summer night, they completed a historic moment.

They ushered in the most glorious moment.

Oh my God!

They are the seven-time champions!

They won twelve championships in two seasons!

There is no doubt that they dominate the whole of Europe!

The Gunners dynasty was officially established!

The brilliant fireworks burst in the sky, embellishing the night sky with incomparable beauty.

At this moment, the sky of Lisbon is connected with the sky of London.

There are only the cheers of Arsenal fans. They have crossed the English Channel, they have crossed two countries, they have crossed many histories and hardships, and finally ushered in this moment.

This is the most glorious moment for the Gunners and Arsenal.

At this moment, they are not only standing at the top of Europe, they are also the king of the world!

The lights embellish the silver cup surface.

The Big Ear Cup was raised high in the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.

The exciting shouts surrounded my ears, and seemed to come from the history.

Through the fog of history!

Through the obstacles!

Through the efforts of generations of Gunners!

At this moment, they finally stood at the top!

After removing the veil that blinded the eyes, the first thing that came was the passionate voice.

‘Go forward! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——’

Following closely, the feedback of tens of thousands of people intertwined, with the response of faith and strong expectation.

‘Gunners! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——’

——The whole book is finished!
