Chapter 0278 Victory
Casemiro was shocked because he found that Rooney seemed to consume a lot of money in the second half and overtime, but in fact he had been secretly accumulating energy, and suddenly burst out at this moment.
Ramos was thrown away, and Casemiro had no time to return to defense.
"Be careful of Rooney!" Casemiro exclaimed in dismay, but he didn't need to say much. Ramos had already reacted and rushed forward.
Ibrahimovic's header was not strong enough, and the ball fell quickly. Rooney and Ramos chased the ball at the same time with different lines.
Real Madrid's central defender reacted very quickly, but no matter how fast it was, Rooney, who had a tacit understanding with Ibrahimovic, took the lead, stabbed the ball forward gently, and chased after it as fast as possible.
Ramos tried to clear the ball, but he couldn't use it twice, and he had no way to pull Rooney again. Otherwise, he would definitely choose to foul at this time. Because after entering the penalty area, Rooney would become even more terrifying!
Varane's reaction was fast enough, and he was always by Ramos' side. After realizing the danger, he immediately assisted in defense and rushed towards Rooney, and blocked Rooney on the left side of the penalty area.
But Rooney had been mentally prepared for a long time, and it was not the first time he had dealt with Real Madrid. After catching up with the ball, he chose to stop the ball the first time.
By controlling the ball, he gained the advantage.
Varane also stopped immediately and wanted to block him. As long as he blocked Rooney, Ramos and Casemiro reacted and Rooney would be dead.
But Rooney knew his thoughts very well. With more than fifteen years of experience in high-level professional competitions, he had faced any difficult situations long ago.
Rooney's choice is to immediately spike the ball and cut in after an emergency stop, trying to flash a gap. As long as he has time, his right foot can exert a threat.
……………………
Although Varane is only 24 years old, he has been famous at a young age and has been playing for Real Madrid for six years and has a lot of experience. The defensive experience accumulated over the years tells him that he must leave room for everything. So he also took a scruple when he was in a hurry.
Rooney's spike in the inward cut was just within his expectations, so he immediately blocked it to block Rooney's shooting angle.
Rooney's reaction was also very fast. Everything he now uses almost instinctive conditioning reflexes to exert. When he saw Varane move, he knew that he had no chance to cut in, so he dunked another right foot and dunked the ball back.
Within a narrow range on the left side of the penalty area, Rooney made two consecutive spikes after a sudden stop. These are the results he accumulated over the past few years of continuous training, and after fifteen years of professional football hard fighting, they polished bit by bit. All the movements are extremely concise, and they are extremely simple, but at the same time very threatening.
His dunk was not strong, because if it was too big, he would not be able to hit the ball directly with his left foot and his angle. Moreover, Ramos and Casemiro were behind him, and he only had one chance. He had to hit it directly after the dunk, and there would be no chance if he stopped.
In an instant, Rooney forced a gap from Varane's body.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas was blocked by Varane just now. After seeing him, he was shocked and immediately judged Rooney's shooting angle. When he saw Rooney come back from spiking, he hit his left foot and immediately flew to the right side of the goal.
But what disappointed him was that Rooney played very quickly and quickly this time, and he was directly oriented towards the upper right corner.
Navas was completely lost!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAALLL!!!!!!”
"The ball is in!!! In the second half of overtime, Manchester United won another goal in 108 minutes in the game, 4:3!"
"Rooney scored a hat trick! He became the fourth player in Champions League history to score a hat trick in the final. It was also after 48 years that there were players who scored a hat trick in the Champions League final again!"
……………………
In the 62-year history of the Champions League, only three people have scored hat tricks in the Champions League final, namely Real Madrid's Puskas and Distefano, and AC Milan's Plati (no Ni).
In the 1959-1960 season, this season was the last year of Real Madrid's five consecutive Champions League titles. Real Madrid played against Frankfurt from Germany in the final. At that time, Real Madrid was at its heyday and played in Europe invincible. In the final, Frankfurt was the first to score, but the unparalleled pair of Stefano and Puskas did not give the Germans a chance. Stefano scored 3 goals and Puskas scored 4 goals. The two used their dominant performance to help Real Madrid create the myth of five consecutive Champions League titles.
The flying colonel scored more than once, but twice in the Champions League final, which has been unattainable. In addition to the big four who defeated Frankfurt in 1960, he also completed a hat-trick in the Champions League final two years later. In the 1961-1962 season, Real Madrid entered the final again one year later, facing the defending champion Benfica. Benfica had the Panther Eusibio in the team. At this time, Benfica scored two goals in a row to help Real Madrid take the lead, but Benfica equalized the score twice, and Pusibus completed the hat-trick before the end of the first half. However, the game belonged to the Portuguese in the second half, and Eusibio won with two goals, and Pusibus' hat-trick was useless.
AC Milan legend Plati is the third player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League final. In the second year when Manchester United first reached the top of Europe, in the 1968-1969 season, AC Milan and Ajax met in the Champions League final. At this time, Cruyff was in the Dutch team. However, AC Milan in the final did not leave Ajax too many opportunities. Plati scored two goals in the first half and finally completed a hat-trick in the 75th minute, helping the Reds and Blacks win the Champions League for the second time. Ajax dominated Europe was also postponed to 1971, but they then completed the three consecutive Champions League championships.
In the 47 years after Plati scored a hat trick, no one could score a hat trick in the Champions League final. Until the 48th year, Rooney finally became the fourth player in Champions League history!
……………………
After Rooney shot with his left foot, he knew clearly that the ball had it.
After stabilizing his body, he saw the ball hitting into the upper right corner of the goal, and Navas rushed into the air. In an instant, he quickly turned around and avoided Ramos and Casemiro who were flying up. He quickly ran towards the stands where Manchester United fans were, and even broke free from Ibrahimovic's bear hug in the middle.
Rooney rushed to the sidelines quickly, and a long slippery kneeling, dragging two obvious marks on the soft grass.
He was in the bottom of the Manchester United fan stands, raising his hands with his fists high and accepting the cheers from thousands of Manchester United fans in the stands.
hat trick!
He did what neither Chris nor Leo did!
He finally proved that he was better than them!
"Rooney's condition tonight is really great! In the second half, he helped Manchester United score the first goal of both sides in this game. After entering overtime, he scored two goals in a row to help Manchester United reverse the score."
"The whole goal was very beautiful, and Ibrahimovic played a key role. His header created a frontal attack opportunity for Rooney. Rooney used his outstanding personal ability to seize this opportunity. This was definitely a flash of inspiration from the top superstars!"
"There was a problem with Real Madrid's defense. They almost lost one goal in the first and second half of overtime in almost the same way: Martial's dribbling and crossing, Ibrahimovic's header, and Rooney completed the final fatal blow! And the two goals were only less than five minutes apart, which included the short rest time between the first and second half of overtime!"
……………………
Manchester United players led by Ibrahimovic rushed up one after another, hugged Rooney on the sidelines, and directly hugged him on the grass, and everyone rushed up one after another.
They were all so excited!
In front of the home team coach's seat, Ye Su also seemed extremely excited.
At this point in time, this goal is so critical!
There are still ten minutes left before the end of the game, but for Manchester United, with this goal, they can play more relaxed next, and they also completely grasp the initiative of the game.
Even if Real Madrid doesn’t want to attack or fight, it won’t work!
Manchester United's offense seems to be very effective during this period, but in fact it is a tactical arrangement that Ye Su has made long ago. He has been preparing for a protracted battle and even specifically asked Rooney to pay attention to retaining his physical strength.
Coupled with Bruno Fernandez and Martial who only came on as a substitute behind the midfield and frontcourt, this ensures the vitality of Manchester United's attacking line.
However, at this time of the game, how many players in Real Madrid are rushing?
Zidane shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked back to the home team coach's seat, muttering to himself: "I just knew, I always knew..."
He didn't say anything, but it wasn't difficult to guess.
Conceding a goal at this critical node is definitely a painful blow to Real Madrid. More importantly, he has to take the initiative because if he doesn't suppress it, Manchester United will completely run out of game time.
He has no choice!
But as long as he pushes it out, Manchester United will definitely defend and counterattack. Martial's speed, Ibrahimovic's high ball advantage, Rooney's running ability... are all very fatal.
This is a difficult choice, and it is extremely difficult. Only by pressing the attack can you have the chance to equalize the score, but after pressing the attack, the risk of being beaten back will be greater.
The current situation is completely different from the goal conceded shortly after the start of the second half, because at that time he had plenty of time to stabilize the situation and slowly adjust and play, but now there are only about ten minutes left.
Chapter completed!
