Chapter 327: Overtime
Although Liu Yu didn't play well, Liu Yu at least guaranteed not to lose the ball, and it was enough to guarantee that he would not lose the ball.
Is it difficult to ask too much for Liu Yu, an amateur goalkeeper.
In the 90th minute, after receiving the opponent's shot, Liu Yu counterattacked with a long pass, Liu Binbin slowly approached the penalty area with the ball, and the German defenders pushed Liu Binbin down with a tactical foul in order to prevent accidents, and the Chinese team got a good set-piece opportunity, because it was impossible to get any good opportunities, the Chinese players went back to defend one by one, so no one stepped forward at all, and there was no way Liu Binbin directly volleyed off the right post.
In the 91st minute, Castro broke the ball in the backfield and broke the ball by himself, Liu Binbin and Jixiang closed the door and put Castro down, and the referee signaled that there was no foul.
In the 92nd minute, after the German defender broke the ball, the right side passed to find Castro, who had just gotten up from the ground, and was cleared by the Chinese defender out of the bottom line.
The delay in the second half was a bit long because of the red card, so there were five minutes of stoppage time.
And that's not all, the finals of the Olympics are not the same as any other competition, they have the same format as the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
The team with the most goals in the knockout stage within 90 minutes (including stoppage time) wins, and if the two teams are unable to decide the winner within 90 minutes, the two halves will be played for 15 minutes of extra time. In extra-time, if the two teams are still undecided, the winner is determined by each player's penalty.
So for Liu Yu, the stoppage time stage is just the beginning of his adaptation to his current position, and he will face more tests in the future.
In the 94th minute, the German team scored another goal, Castro won the ball on the left side, he relied on his speed to eat the Chinese defender Feng Xiaoting, and then crossed the bottom, Gomez, who was ambushed in the middle of the penalty area, leaned over and shook his head, and the ball flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
However, the score hasn't changed, why is that?
The reason is actually very simple, Gomez collided with Liu Yu in the small penalty area before touching the ball, so the referee blew Gomez for a foul on the goalkeeper, and the goal was invalid!
After the restart, the Chinese team also almost scored, Liu Binbin received a long pass to play his advantage of speed, he went down the ball in a multi-person scuffle, and then rushed to shoot in front of the goal, but was saved by the German goalkeeper.
The new coach of the German Olympic Games is watching the game from the rostrum, in fact, he is still very surprised by the performance of the Chinese team, once upon a time, he led Italy to ravage this team at will, and now it has become so strong.
In the 96th minute, the German team continued to attack, Castro shared the ball in front, and a German defender shot from a distance, not to mention, this is called the ball is really powerful, fortunately, Liu Yu is very well prepared, he saved the ball from the bottom line with a chasing side pounce.
After the corner kick was taken, the two sides scrambled, Castro ran into Feng Xiaoting when he tackled, the latter rolled out several meters away, lay on the ground and failed to get up for a while, and the referee only gave a general foul penalty, causing dissatisfaction with the Chinese team.
So far, the desire to win on both sides is very high, which has also made the intensity of the game rise sharply, and the tempers of the players on both sides have been aroused, and the gunpowder smell of the game is getting heavier and heavier.
In the 99th minute, the German team almost scored, Castro volleyed directly from outside the penalty area, and the ball went out of the post! In the 100th minute, Chinese player Zhao Xuri also fired a left-footed shot from outside the penalty area, but the ball was caught by the German goalkeeper who moved quickly.
In the 102nd minute, Castro sent the ball on the left and Gomez pushed it across the middle, but the ball was passed too far back, and the three German players ran past and failed to receive the ball, and finally did not form an effective shot.
In the 104th minute, the German team Castro obviously attracted the Chinese players when he took the ball, but he never passed to Gomez, who was in the vacant position next to him, and was intercepted by the Chinese team after the fast attack, Liu Binbin received the ball and shot was intercepted by the German goalkeeper!
In the 105th minute, the Chinese team made a mistake in clearing the backfield, Feng Xiaoting kicked it empty, Gomez unexpectedly got a single chance, or he was unprepared, and he was too anxious to shoot and was miraculously saved by Liu Yu!
The first half of extra time is over!
I don't know if the players want to end the game in regular time, both sides have a bit of a posture of wanting to attack, and even a few counterattacks by the Chinese team have gradually begun to participate.
Of course, this is a good thing for Liu Yu, he is really afraid that these players will not attack, if there is no attack at all, then the pressure on him to guard this door will be too great.
After all, the German team's offense is not covered, and if the German team really goes crazy, Liu Yu estimates that he won't even be able to hold on for ten minutes.
The second half of extra time
As soon as the German team came up, they gave Liu Yu a dismissal.
In the 106th minute, Gomez won the ball on the left side and advanced alone, and after passing several people, he got up in the penalty area to attack the goal, Liu Yu almost used all his strength to barely block the ball with his fingertips, and the ball bounced out on the goal frame.
Soon Castro put pressure on the Chinese defence with his individual ability, and another German winger's in-cut shot also threatened, and Liu Yu met to block the ball and deflect the ball.
In the 108th minute, the German goalkeeper made a big foot forward pass to instigate a fast attack, Castro's one-handed ball was judged offside, and Castro explained to the referee that he did not hear the penalty whistle after completing the goal.
In the 109th minute, the German team got a free kick opportunity outside the penalty area, Castro's free kick was driven to the goal, and the Chinese team in the penalty area may have been due to physical exhaustion, and the defense leaked at the last moment, and Gomez's cushion shot was safely confiscated by Liu Yu.
In the 112th minute, China also missed a chance, Liu Binbin passed to the small penalty area, and Jixiang cut in and outflanked the shot high above the crossbar.
The Chinese team missed the chance to kill!
In the 115th minute, the defender of the German team broke the ball and sent it directly to the stopper, and the German team formed a two-on-one opportunity in the front, but Castro was too greedy and his shot was blocked by the defender. Gomez and the German coach off the pitch were very unhappy. From the ensuing corner, Castro delivered a clever pass and Gomez's header was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
The game lasted 120 minutes, and the two sides did not decide the winner, and the final score was still fixed on the previous score.
With the referee's whistle, the game in regular time finally ended.
There's nothing wrong with that.
The penalty shoot-out is coming.
The best show on the football field is about to be staged.
I don't know, I don't know how many miracles Liu Yu can bring us, maybe he can snatch the championship away from the German team, or rather, he can only return home today.
