Chapter 47: The Battle of China and Italy (Reincarnation)

These chapters drag on a little bit.,Everyone has an opinion.,Originally, this was the place of the finale.,Lao Bing, I hope to be able to handle it perfectly.,But since everyone is waiting for the ending.,Then Lao Bing, I'll pay attention.,Hehe.,The next few games don't need so much pen and ink.。

Oh, let me preview, there are still three quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals, and the World Cup is over, and there may be a game of special significance after that, but the important thing is not the process, that is, then, Ben is finally going to end!

So what are you waiting for? Smash the ticket subscription, the final finale, everyone try to support it! ——

Italy, equalised......

Baggio scored a goal to create a penalty and Italy equalized in the final moments!

Seeing the Italians hugging each other excitedly, Totti and others pressed Baggio under them, and all the people from the main force to the substitutes surrounded them, and piled up high.

Baggio looked at the sky, this scene is so familiar, he saved Italy again, but how far can he save?

In overtime, can you beat the Chinese team?

"Let's go, we're not without a chance!" Ling Feng patted Li Ke on the shoulder and said. It was the first time he had spoken to his teammates in such a serious tone.

Scold...... Did it equalize?

The two teams that returned to the same starting line played unusually cautiously in overtime.

Golden Ball! If you're not careful, you're done!

This is the disadvantage of the Golden Ball winning method, the original purpose of setting up the Golden Ball is to make the game more exciting and more challenging, but it is impossible for any team to press the attack under the premise of this sudden death - because the difficulty of attacking is much greater than that of defense, no one wants to watch themselves desperately attack for a long time without scoring, but after the opponent tore open their own door with a counterattack. The game is over......

So this year's World Cup is the last time to use the Golden Ball method to win.

In the last World Cup and Croatia, Ling Feng, who created the record for the fastest Golden Ball win, does not dare to stick to the ball too much.

Italy is not Croatia, they have a lot of experience in the tournament, they have a very solid backline, and if you are not careful, it is you who are unlucky.

The Italians were equally embarrassed, they didn't dare to attack aggressively, but as a defensive counter-attacking team, they were well suited to play the Golden Ball.

The first half of extra time was very boring, as the two sides seemed to be deliberately wasting time waiting for the end, and in the last five minutes of the second half, there were a few beautiful attacks from each other.

It's just a pity that the last fight of both sides was not successful, and with the referee's whistle, the 120 minutes of the game were all over, and the two sides entered a penalty shootout!

One minute before the end of the game, Zhu Guanglu used the last substitution in his hand to replace Li Tie and replace Yang Chen - this purpose is known to everyone, at this time, there is only one purpose for replacing a player with a good shot, that is, to take a penalty.

When the referee's whistle sounded, the Italian fans collectively hugged their heads.

Twelve years, four World Cups, four penalty shootouts!

It's not that the Italian fans don't have confidence in the team, it's because they can't raise confidence at all!

From 90 to 98, three World Cups were eliminated by penalty kicks, and Italy's penalty luck can be said to be unbearable!

Now this is China's territory, it's still a penalty, and it's a penalty with China!

Not to count, Totti, Piero, Inzaghi, Baggio...... Uh, Baggio?

I don't think Baggio will make the same mistake as he did eight years ago, but who else is there?

Maldini!

34-year-old captain Maldini is scheduled to take a penalty!

It is well known that Maldini had never heard of a penalty specialty, and at this time he stood in front of the ball, was it voluntary? To make the last point in your final World Cup? Or is it that the Italian team is the same as it was eight years ago, and no one dares to stand here?

Eight years ago, it was Baresi who took the initiative to stand up...... He missed a penalty and eight years later, it was Maldini who took over from Barresiban......

It's a reincarnation......

Maybe Maldini should know very well that he is not a penalty material, he once missed a penalty in the face of Fu Bing when AC Milan came to China, and once missed a penalty in the 2000 European Championship, but at this time he still stood up, for his last World Cup?

The penalty takers for both teams were quickly determined.

Italy: Totti, Piero, Maldini, Inzaghi, Baggio......

Chinese team: Yue Lingxiang, Ding Rui, Yang Chen, Fan Zhiyi, Ling Feng.

Heh, Baggio and Ling Feng are the last main punishments.

The players of both teams retreated to the vicinity of the midfield, all standing hand in hand, cheering on their teammates.

After Buffon and Ricco came to the goal and shook hands, Buffon stepped aside, and Italy took the first penalty.

Li Ke stood on the goal line, clapping his palms vigorously, and the stands erupted in endless boos at this time, as the Chinese fans tried their best to disrupt Totti.

It's a shameless approach, but it's done all over the world.

Totti was unmoved, this was his second penalty of the game, and he had just equalised for Italy half an hour earlier, and at this time, he was confident that he would score again, even if it was an apprentice of the so-called goalkeeper Goyechea!

O Goyechea!

Again, a reincarnation?

In Napoli in '90, Goyechea blocked penalties from Italian superstars Serena and Donadoni, and the Argentines had the last laugh.

Twelve years later, his apprentice is standing in front of the goal, can he stop the confidence of the Italians to win the victory?!

The referee's whistle blew, and Totti started to run, and at that moment the boos of the audience suddenly increased!

Totti didn't hesitate and slammed the inside of his right foot under the ball!

The ball is in!

Li Ke judged the right direction, but almost reached the ball!

Totti kissed his fingers back to the midfield, his back was covered with cold sweat, heh, it was so dangerous just now, that guy judged the angle of his shot so easily, fortunately, fortunately, he was fast enough......

Annoyed, Li Ke thumped the turf with his fist and stood up.

In his mind, he recalled the words of his master Goyechea, "Many goalkeepers save penalties are blind, they choose the direction they judge the direction at the moment when the opponent touches the ball, and they pounce out without a head, so they are often flashed by feints, and there are also lucky, they are blindfolded and pounced, they are heroes, but you must know that the penalty is not Russian roulette, he is not betting on luck!"

In '90 against Yugoslavia, I saved four penalties, I saved two with Italy, I almost saved the penalties from Baggio and Bremer, and I even touched the ball with my hands! Do you think it's just luck?!

No, I'm gambling too, but I'm not betting on luck, it's about speed! ”

When the shooter is about to touch the ball, more than 90% of the people will completely reveal their intention to shoot at this moment. At this time, the direction of judgment can be described as nine out of ten! It depends on whether your goalkeeper has the ability to pounce a long distance in an instant!

In the words of the Argentine goalkeeper, a goalkeeper, as long as he learns to save a penalty, then the rest does not need to be taught, and he understands it in the game.

Gianluigi Buffon stood in front of goal, facing Yue Lingxiang, the new midfield leader of the Chinese team.

He misjudged the position, Xiao Yue's clever feint deceived Buffon, and the ball went in, 1:1!

Piero's penalty was just as easy to hit, or at least it seemed easy, and the penalty was still a very simple thing for Piero, otherwise he would not have been called a penalty striker in history.

Ding Rui, as always, adopted the principle of his own vigorous volley, and Buffon was right, but he sighed at the ball.

2:2 draw!

Maldini!

Maldini stood in front of the ball, the captain of the Italian team, the great left-back, after touching the captain's armband on his left arm, he ran briskly and rubbed his left foot under the ball!

This is the time!

Lico saw it accurately, and he had full control of the ball the moment Maldini made a move. Leap to the left and stop the ball with both palms in the air!

The ball didn't go in!

Maldini's penalty is saved by Lico!

The audience was in an uproar!

The Chinese fans hugged each other happily, while the Italian fans fell into the abyss all of a sudden!

Maldini knelt on the turf, and at this moment he burst into tears.

Didn't enter? Didn't score a penalty?

Maybe this penalty means that Italy will be eliminated from the competition!

As the captain, he actually made such a mistake and ...... in his last World Cup

Maldini didn't know how to get back into midfield, he fell into Cannavaro's arms and cried like a child, and at this time he only heard the cheers of the whole stadium, and he knew that the next penalty of the Chinese team was scored.

That's right, Yang Chen's penalty was scored, and after he came on as a substitute, this was the first touch of the ball and created a goal.

Inzaghi's penalty also scored, and Fan Zhiyi also scored......

Lao Fan, who was kicked out of the national team since the last World Cup, was finally recruited back by Ling Feng, and after the blow of the last incident, the grumpy General Fan has changed into a person, more stable and more practical.

So he returned to the national team in the fierce competition, Ling Feng gave him the position of the main central defender, and in this penalty shootout, as the veteran of the team, he also held a very important position.

Now the four rounds are over, the score is 4:3, and the Chinese team is ahead.

"Oh my God! It's a rehash of that scene from eight years ago! Huang Jianxiang shouted passionately: "Baggio! Baggio is at the penalty spot! Like the Rose Bowl eight years ago, this penalty is the one that will decide the life and death of Italy! ”

That's right, everything seems to be a reincarnation, and the scene of the Rose Bowl eight years ago was staged again in Kowloon.

Eight years ago, Baresi's first penalty was saved, followed by Brazil's penalty, and in the third round, Italy's Marcaro's penalty was saved to put Brazil in the lead.

But the result is the same, changing the beginning, but not the ending.

Eight years later, it was another life-and-death penalty, and Baggio was on the spot.

The referee's whistle sounds, Baggio runs, shoots!

The ball is in!

Baggio broke through fate with one kick! His penalty hit!

However, Italy still does not have the upper hand.

The last to play was Ling Feng, the ace player of the Chinese team.

If this goal is scored, then Italy will be eliminated as well, if it is not scored...... Then into the sudden death of the penalty shoot-out.

People saw Ling Feng smiling and laughed very happily.

Eight years ago, Baggio missed the last corner and he became the sinner of all of Italy.

Almost all the Italian media have forgotten one thing, without Baggio, they would not have been able to reach the final, let alone compete with Romario's Brazilian team to the penalty shootout!

People have also forgotten that Baresi and Massaro had also missed penalties before;

They still forget that even if Baggio's penalty scores, as long as the last player of the Brazilian team hits the penalty, then Italy will have to go home honestly!

They blamed the heroes in every possible way, and put on a posture that they could definitely be punished if they were replaced.

Eight years later, Italy is once again caught in this cycle, almost the same as eight years ago, but this time, Baggio scored a penalty, so will Italy still win?

Ling Feng's smile made Buffon on the opposite side a little creepy, at this time the referee's whistle blew, Ling Feng stood in front of the ball, he didn't run.

To put it mildly, Buffon was deceived by a makeshift feint on his foot and saved in the wrong direction, and it was only when Buffon hit the ground that the ball slowly rolled into the goal......

It's a shot that can't be slowed down!

If you look at the entire history of the World Cup, no, the entire history of football, you can't find a penalty that is slower than his!

At the moment of kicking the ball, Ling Feng raised his hand high, he knew that this ball would definitely go in.

This is his counterattack to the insult of his idol by the Italian media eight years ago!

He used this incredibly slow shot to tell the noisy people back then that Baggio was not a sinner, and even if he scored a penalty, the fate of Italy was in the hands of the other party!

5:4! The Chinese team defeated Italy on penalties and entered the quarterfinals!
