"Whoa—"

The Fisht Olympic Stadium resounded with a deafening chant from Chinese fans.

Four rounds of penalties passed, the Chinese team made three of the four free throws, Portugal made two of the four free throws, and led 3:2, if Tang Zheng can save Portugal's fifth penalty, it will mean that the penalty shootout ended early, and the Chinese team advanced to the semifinals of the World Cup in a record!

Li Kui, who scored the fourth penalty for the Chinese team, was very worried and did not vent the pressure that had been suppressed in his heart because of the crucial penalty.

"Li Kui is really a rare general!" He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 said, excitedly: "The defense is almost leakless, and he cooperates with Tang Zheng seamlessly, and he can still be calm in such an important penalty shootout, don't forget...... He is only twenty-two years old, and the future is limitless!"

In fact, there are already a lot of scouts from big clubs in the stands looking at Li Kui, who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk.

With a huge cheer, the live director switched the camera to Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

If nothing else, Cristiano Ronaldo will be Portugal's fifth penalty taker.

Patricio got up depressedly, a little depressed, and didn't even notice that Tang Zheng, who was looking at him, stretched out his right hand and patted him on the shoulder.

There was still the last round of the penalty shootout, and Patricio was not confident at all to save the last penalty of the Chinese team, because Tang Zheng was very likely to be the main penalty of the Chinese team.

Tang Zheng slowly walked to the goal, and Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo high-fived his teammates one by one, and then turned and walked towards the direction of the penalty area.

The frenzy at the Fisht Olympic Stadium was at its lowest at this time, and Cristiano Ronaldo frowned, knowing that the penalty had to be in the penalty area, otherwise the Chinese team would advance to the last four of the World Cup.

Thinking of the penalty kick and the missed shot at the end of the second half of extra time, Cristiano Ronaldo subconsciously clenched his fists, and he didn't even feel his nails in the flesh now, and it is not difficult to see how much pressure he is under at this time.

Only a penalty could help Portugal find a chance, but if it didn't, it meant the shoot-out was over.

As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo, who appeared on the broadcast screen, was a little distraught, and he looked very unconfident.

However, the close-up of the live broadcast did not give too much Cristiano Ronaldo, but quickly switched to Tang Zheng with a calm and calm face in front of the goal.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray analyzed: "Cristiano Ronaldo obviously feels the pressure, because once his penalty is not saved by Tang, it means that the Chinese team advances to the quarterfinals of this World Cup, but this is only a matter of death for Portugal, not surprisingly, Tang will be the last penalty taker of the Chinese team, don't forget...... Don has never missed a penalty since the beginning of his career, he has beaten a top three goalkeeper in the world, could Rui Patricio be able to save Don's penalty?

As soon as the words ended, the guest commentator Martin Taylor laughed: "It's impossible......! The moment Rafael Guerrero misses a penalty is revealed, it is ...... The Chinese team made history and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup! If anyone wants, I can even bet that Don can save Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty again!"

"Wouldn't it?

Andy Gray looked at his old partner Andy Gray in surprise and exclaimed.

"Of course!" Martin Taylor patted his chest and said, "I can pack the ticket!"

“……”

Andy Gray didn't bet on Martin Taylor, and he reverted to the upcoming fifth round of penalty shootouts: "Cristiano Ronaldo faces Don again, is he confident enough to come out of the gloom and score a penalty......?

Cristiano Ronaldo was very polite, and when he walked into the box, he took the initiative to shake hands with referee Sandro Ricci and then put the football to the penalty spot, but he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the position of the football, hugged it again, bowed his head and kissed it.

Tang Zheng, who was standing in front of the goal, had already prepared, and he began to feel the bottom of his heart when he watched Cristiano Ronaldo's series of actions.

This...... It is a sign of Cristiano Ronaldo's lack of confidence.

He wanted to hint at himself in these ways, or to find confidence in these ways.

Fernandes, the commentator of Portugal's national sports television, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Captain Cristiano Ronaldo almost single-handedly brought Portugal to the quarterfinals, and I think the penalty shootout is the same, yes, Tang did refuse Cristiano's consecutive must-score goals at the end of extra time, but there is a saying in China that there are no more than three, come on! Cristiano Ronaldo forever!"

Cristiano Ronaldo finally set up the football under the watchful eyes of the fans, but instead of stepping back, he stepped on the grass on the left side of the football with his left foot to feel the force of the ground.

It wasn't until five seconds later that Cristiano Ronaldo tapped his head in satisfaction and stepped back enough to take the penalty.

The corners of Tang Zheng's mouth were slightly upturned, the center of gravity of his body began to sink, his legs were slightly bent, his upper body leaned forward slightly, his arms were naturally raised, and his eyes were staring at Cristiano Ronaldo.

Perhaps feeling Tang Zheng's gaze, Cristiano Ronald was stunned when he looked up.

He suddenly had a feeling, as if Tang Zheng could look directly into his heart through his own eyes.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo has passed his age and has a lot of experience in the game, he was a little flustered at this time, so he quickly lowered his head, looked at the football that was set, and waited for the referee's whistle.

"As long as Tang can save Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty, the Chinese team will step past Portugal and advance to the semi-finals of this World Cup!"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said in a deep voice.

He Wei, the central 5 commentator sitting next to him, said cautiously: "The fifth round of penalties is about to start, Ronaldo and Tang Zheng are ready, for Portugal this goal must be scored, otherwise the penalty shootout will end early, can Ronaldo, who is under great pressure, face Tang Zheng and score it......?"

After He Wei finished speaking, he stopped talking, and he didn't know if he was afraid of affecting Tang Zheng or the luck of the Chinese team.

At the same time, the frenzy at the Fisht Olympic Stadium dropped, and everyone stared with bated breath at the goal, but the players were different.

The hopes of the Chinese fans are pinned on Tang Zheng to save the ball, while the hopes of the Portuguese fans are pinned on Cristiano Ronaldo to score the ball.

As for whether he can survive the fifth round of penalties, it is not considered for the time being, because once Cristiano Ronaldo does not score a penalty, the game will be over.

Neutral fans simply want to see the ups and downs of the plot develop, but considering the sympathy for the weak, most of them hope that the Chinese team, which received two red cards at the end of extra time, will have the last laugh.

At this moment, the referee on duty, Sandro Ricci, blew the whistle: "Beep~"

"Woo-woo-"

The Fisht Olympic Stadium, which had been gradually quieting down, suddenly sounded a huge boo like a tsunami.

Although the sudden burst of boos may affect Tang Zheng, Chinese fans prefer that the boos will affect Cristiano Ronaldo, who took the penalty.

Because the most important thing for the penalty taker is to have a normal heart, Tang Zheng doesn't need it, he is very weak as a goalkeeper, as long as Cristiano Ronaldo plays abnormally, then it will ...... Enough is enough!

In fact, Tang Zheng has learned how to forget about the off-field since the beginning of his career, and all his attention now is on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is preparing to take the penalty, and he can't take his eyes off it.

※※※

When Cristiano Ronaldo was running, countless fans chose to close their eyes at this moment and wait for the result.

Santos, the head coach in front of the Portuguese coach's bench, the acting head coach of the Chinese team, Madaloni, and the players who stood in the middle line and waited for the results, all chose to close their eyes or turn their backs, for fear that the results they saw were not what they wanted to see.

Father Tang, Mother Tang, and Zhao Lina in the VIP seat looked nervous, including Tang Qingqing, who was affected by this tense atmosphere.

Those high-level government officials who were watching the game were also affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and their calm mood became a little nervous.

Cristiano Ronaldo's heavy heart was a little more nervous under the overwhelming boos, but he quickly adjusted and focused on the penalty.

He kept telling himself that he had to go in!

Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to stabilize this time, led by angle and power.

"Cristiano—"

Accompanied by a chant from Fernandes, the commentator of Portugal's national sports television, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped on his left foot, his left arm was naturally raised, and he picked up his right foot.

Compared to the exaggerated thigh swing at the end of extra time, this time the leg swing was very fast, and the arch of the right foot kicked the right side of the ball.

At the same time, Tang Zheng's right foot kicked out violently and rose into the air, his body stretched very out, as if he had squeezed to the extreme and suddenly ejected out.

Cristiano Ronaldo regretted his shot because he kicked the ball in exactly the same direction as Tang Zheng's save......

Between the lightning and flint, Cristiano Ronaldo felt that the world was frozen at this moment, and he clearly saw Tang Zheng's body stretching, his movements were full of art, and the tip of his right finger flicked the football running against the ground.

It was at this moment that the ball that rolled along the net in the left goal post changed its trajectory and deviated a few centimeters outward.

Fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly see the ball hit the left side of the goal post and bounce back.

"Whoa—"

The Fisht Olympic Stadium was like a pause button at first, then burst out, and the various chants were intertwined and deafening.

“Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——”

British Sky commentator Andy Guerrera shouted in a long, hysterical, almost frantic voice: "God! he pounced! pounced! saved Cristiano Ronaldo's inevitable penalty again!"

"July 7, 2018 was a magical day! Don turned the tide at the end of extra-time by denying all the Portuguese shots, and he couldn't have imagined that the penalty shoot-out could continue to be a miracle and save three penalties!"

"Incredible reaction speed! The penalty shootout ended early, and the game ended with it! Congratulations to the Chinese team! Congratulations to Tang!"

"Hooray! Hooray! Tang Zheng saves Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty! We make new history! The semi-finals of the World Cup! Equaling the World Cup hosted by South Korea on home soil 16 years ago! The semi-finals face England, who are not favored, and we even hope to advance to the final......

"Who would have thought that the result would be like this? Five rounds of penalties were not over, and the Chinese team advanced to the semifinals in advance!"

At this time, all the commentators in the commentary seat fell into extreme madness.

Except, of course, for the commentators of Portugal's National Sports Television.

"Whoa—"

The huge shouts created by the Chinese fans in the stands subconsciously, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to have heard nothing, with his hands on his hips and his head down, like Baggio who missed a key penalty in the 1994 World Cup in the United States.

But at this time, no one paid attention to the loser, except for the Portuguese, everyone's focus was on Tang Zheng, who had a legendary performance in this game.

I saw Tang Zheng get up from the ground excitedly, open his arms, jump over the billboard, face the Chinese fans who shouted wildly, close his eyes, and feel the frenzied atmosphere and ...... Realism.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would have felt like he was dreaming.

The Chinese players standing in the middle line, the substitute players who pressed the sideline several times, the goalkeeper Yan Junling who was sent off, and the assistant coach Li Tie in the coach's seat were all full of excitement and ran towards Tang Zheng frantically.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng, the Chinese team would have been eliminated long ago.

Now being able to enjoy the cheers of the fans as a winner is entirely because of Tang Zheng's magical performance.

"Football is like that, the joy of one side is set off by the sadness of the other. Yang 5 commentator He Wei looked at the fans with different expressions and said with emotion: "The extreme emotions of human beings are fully reflected and released at this moment, this is football, which is why we love football so much!"

Commentator Xu Yang was full of passion: "Sixteen years ago, the South Korean team advanced to the semifinals of the World Cup on its home soil, and 16 years later, we advanced to the semifinals of the World Cup on Russian soil! This is a breakthrough! It is also a symbol of strength! I think the Chinese fans in front of the TV are as excited as me! At this moment...... I am proud of Chinese football! Long live Chinese football!!"

Hundreds of millions of Chinese fans sat in front of the TV and looked at Tang Zheng on the broadcast screen, full of pride.
