Chapter 426: The Best Shooter Competition

After Klose scored, the TV broadcast gave Messi a close-up shot, because before that, Messi had always been ahead of Klose.  m.

Now he was tied, so how would Messi react?

Messi had no expression.

He opened his mouth and gasped.

At this time, he probably didn't care about the top scorer.

If there is no championship, what is the point of having a top scorer?

However, it is too difficult for Messi to win the championship.

Because Lazio is now three goals ahead of Barcelona.

In fact, the suspense of this final has been killed.

Lazio has never been overturned by the opponent when leading by three goals...

Can Barcelona make an exception?

Judging from their own performance, there is absolutely no chance!

※※※

"Lazio will win the Champions League this season! This is their third championship of this season! It's incredible! But it really happened! They won the treble again!"

"The treble is very difficult to achieve. It requires not only strength but also luck. But for Lazio, it doesn't seem to be the case... The treble is very simple for them. They won the treble for two consecutive years, and they did it easily!"

Although the second half was less than halfway through, the commentators couldn't wait to start talking about Lazio's second treble.

"Defending the treble! When Chang shouted this slogan in the middle of the season, it attracted a lot of doubts. Now, the doubts have disappeared. In front of Lazio's results, the doubts have become ridiculous!"

"Not only defending the treble, Lazio has also achieved a perfect record this season! All league wins! All domestic cup wins! Champions League... all wins! No failures, no draws, all wins! This is amazing! Incredible!"

Even Barcelona fans have admitted defeat. They no longer sing and dance in the stands, nor do they shout loudly to cheer for the team.

After Klose scored,

They suddenly fell into silence.

The reality was too cruel, and they couldn't accept it for a while.

※※※

In sharp contrast to the silent Barcelona fans are the Lazio fans.

They gave all kinds of cheers, singing and dancing in the stands.

Turning Wembley Stadium into the Rome Olympic Stadium, this is completely their home court!

The happiest people who won the Champions League twice in a row are Lazio fans.

This means that their team has become the best team in the world.

As fans, don't they just want their team to have such results?

The team has good results and is strong, and as supporters, they also feel proud.

Many Lazio fans even burst into tears in the stands.

When Lazio was about to go bankrupt, they sat in front of the Captalia Bank in protest, hoping that someone would come out to save their beloved Blue Eagles.

At that time, everyone wanted Lazio to survive, even if it was relegated to the second division.

They never thought about anything else.

They didn't even dare to think about winning the Champions League and the treble for two consecutive years...

※※※

When Klose scored, Guardiola, who was sitting in the coaching seat, lowered his head.

He knew that the game was over and Lazio would definitely be the champion.

Barcelona would be the runner-up.

And his coaching period in Barcelona was over.

Cruyff had always disliked him and had never stopped attacking him in the past season.

This failure would obviously give him more excuses and reasons. With his influence, he would definitely ask for his resignation.

Even if he didn't want to leave, he probably had no choice this time...

After leaving Changsheng, he had a very good coaching experience.

In the first season as the head coach, he led Barcelona to win the treble, and the second year was the six-crown.

But those were the achievements before he met Changsheng.

Once he played against Changsheng, he never took advantage.

His solo career stemmed from the difference between his and Changsheng's philosophies. At that time, in order to prove that he was right, he decided to come out and coach a team in person, using his own philosophy to build the team.

Barcelona successfully won the treble and six-crown, which once made him think that his philosophy was correct, and he hoped to play against Changsheng. Only by defeating Changsheng in a head-on confrontation with Changsheng, he would truly think that his philosophy was right, and he also wanted to prove it to Changsheng.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, Barcelona and Lazio met, and he was quite happy.

The result...

He played against Lazio three times, and didn't win once!

He was completely defeated by Changsheng.

What does this show?

It shows that the philosophy he insisted on was wrong!

Although people always say "success or failure does not determine a hero", but in football games, what is there to decide if there is no victory or defeat? Victory or defeat is the only criterion for measuring whether a team is strong or weak.

He lost, so he was wrong.

※※※

The next game was completely in Lazio's rhythm.

Barcelona had given up resistance.

This game was a huge blow to them.

As a result, they all lost their fighting spirit.

Lazio's offensive rhythm did not slow down because Barcelona gave up the game.

They are still looking for goals.

Because they still have a task. That is to help Klose become the top scorer of the Champions League.

Now they need another ball.

※※※

When Barcelona realized what Lazio wanted to do, they suddenly found their goal - they must not let Klose become the top scorer over them!

Originally, they lost the championship, which was enough of a failure. If Klose became the top scorer over their heads, it would be a double irony.

And for Messi, they should also rekindle their fighting spirit.

Messi can now share the top scorer with Klose. If Klose scores again, they will not even get Messi's personal honor.

That's a failure!

So everyone thought it was garbage time, but unexpectedly the game suddenly became fierce.

Lazio suddenly exerted force for Klose's top scorer.

Barcelona didn't want Klose to score.

The two sides started a fierce competition for a top scorer!

※※※

Klose felt that the defense he faced was tighter.

Puyol followed him almost every step of the way.

Barcelona was now completely free of burden, and played better.

They were going to lose anyway, so they didn't care how many goals they lost in the end.

As long as they didn't let Klose score.

They just needed to defend Klose.

As for the other Lazio players, if they wanted to score, let them score.

And they believed that Lazio also thought so - except for Klose, it was meaningless for others to score.

※※※

The next game was a battle between the entire Barcelona team and Klose.

It must be said that Barcelona's strength was still very high. When they were fully focused and concentrated on dealing with Klose, it was difficult for Klose to score again.

From the time Klose scored the first goal until the 80th minute, the two sides fought countless times, and Klose did not score again.

"Klose tried very hard, but Barcelona's defense against him was very tight. Barcelona's current plan is to prevent Klose from scoring and not let him win the top scorer title alone. This may be Barcelona's only pursuit in this game..."

Klose has been playing in high-intensity and fast-paced games, and his physical strength has been greatly consumed.

In theory, the victory of this game has been decided, and he should be replaced in advance to enjoy the applause and cheers of the fans alone.

But Changsheng has used up two substitutions one after another, but he did not replace Klose.

He still wanted Klose to enjoy the glory of the top scorer alone.

At this time, he was already standing on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on Klose.

Can Klose rewrite history?

※※※

In the 82nd minute, the score was still 3:0. Lazio led Barcelona by three goals in the final, and they were still attacking Barcelona's goal.

In the 83rd minute, Lazio launched an attack.

They passed the ball around outside Barcelona's penalty area.

But no matter how Lazio passes the ball, Barcelona is very clear about keeping an eye on Klose.

Wherever Klose is, their players are there.

Make sure there is always a Barcelona player next to Klose.

Klose turned his head to look at the situation around him. On the left is Puyol, on the right is Pique, and in addition there is Mascherano who came on as a substitute in the second half.

Barcelona's defense against him is really desperate...

He has no chance at all.

So is he going to give up?

Share a top scorer with Messi?

In fact, he can also get the top scorer this way.

So he actually has no reason to continue fighting.

But Klose is very ambitious now. He is in such an excellent state this season. Why should he share an honor with others? Why should he share half of the glory that belongs to him with the other party?

He doesn't accept it.

He doesn't accept it at all.

There must be a way.

If there is no way... then use force!

For scoring a goal, if you don't fight hard, do you still expect the goal to fall from the sky?

That's really a foolish dream!

Klose looked at the goal again, and he was aware of it.

This time, no matter how tight the defense was, he couldn't be stopped.

As a center forward, he had to take advantage of the situation.

It was already the last ten minutes, and the time given to him would be getting less and less.

He had already seen that Barcelona was not in a hurry to attack when they got the ball now. They would pass the ball back and forth in the midfield and backcourt to delay time.

This had never happened before.

This was because there was little time left in the game.

His own chances were getting fewer and fewer.

If he didn't fight at this time, he would have no chance at all!
