Chapter 381 - Goals that can be awarded the Puskas Award

In front of more than 70,000 fans and in the eyes of 1 billion TV viewers, Ricardo leaned forward, raised his right foot back, and then kicked his left foot hard, leaving his entire body off the ground. The head is in front and the feet are in the back.

The back heel of his right foot hit the ball exactly as it flew behind him.

The soccer ball changed its trajectory and flew quickly towards the goal.

Buffon had been engrossed in the ball, thinking that Ricardo would stop the ball or pass it. But when the football began to magnify in his eyes, he realized that Licardo had already finished shooting.

Buffon was shocked, he immediately made a save, but it was useless, the shot was too close, and by the time he reacted and made a move, the ball was already on the goal line.

Buffon was in mid-air, looking up. The ball smashed on the underside of the beam and fell quickly.

His pupils narrowed instantly. I saw the football smash inside the goal line and bounce again.

Buffon's reaction was astonishing. He quickly got up after landing and grabbed the ball in his arms.

At this time, referee Elizondo blew the whistle.

All eyes of the players on the field were on him. The eyes of the 70,000 fans at the stadium were also focused on him.

What will be the penalty?

Elizondo must have felt Alexander at the moment.

But he still firmly pointed his finger to the middle circle. He thinks it's in!

The scene was suddenly in an uproar, the cheers of the Brazilians and the cursing of the Italians were intertwined!

As Brazil's players began to celebrate, Ricardo quickly got up from the ground and ran to the sidelines, where he played Tai Chi in front of a fan seating area with a five-star red flag.

Buffon threw the ball to the ground and rushed up to appeal to Elizondo. Although in fact, he also knows that the ball has been scored, but the momentum cannot be lost at this time. Under Buffon's leadership, the Italian players surrounded Elizondo and kept talking.

"Ricardo Goal!!!!!! Just 8 minutes into the game, Licardo scored a magical goal! It's a beautiful scorpion tail swing! Oh my God, it's the prettiest scorpion tail I've ever seen in my career! It's a goal that could well win the Puskas Prize! It was a demoralizing goal and the Italian players were certainly hit hard by it. They didn't make any mistakes, but Ricardo helped Brazil take the lead with a flash of genius! The narrator roared hoarsely.

"This is the stage for the World Cup final! In the past 17 World Cups, most of the teams that took the lead had the last laugh! This goal is very crucial! The Italians certainly didn't expect them to concede so early. ”

"This is the first time that Italy have been scored by an opponent in this World Cup! The only goal they had conceded before was an own goal scored by Zaccardo against the USA! ”

"The Italians' impregnable defense was easily crushed in front of the Brazilian team like a tofu scum project!"

"The Italian players have doubts about the ball, let's watch the slow-motion replay. Ronaldinho, Robert. Carlos doesn't stop the ball and crosses directly, Licardo, jump up and scorpion swings his tail! Look at this, the ball has crossed the goal line in its entirety, and the goal really works! There was no problem with the referee's decision. ”

It is worth mentioning that it was Ricardo's fifth goal of the tournament and he is now tied with Klose for the top scorer. 20-year-old World Cup Golden Boot! Unheard! Unprecedented! Ricardo made history! ”

Ricardo was surrounded by his teammates.

"You're a genius! A true genius! Adriano's face was deformed, and he could only vent his excitement with a wild roar, "That's amazing!" I love you to death! Ricardo, Ricardo! From now on, I'll be your fan! I'm FK, I'm FK, I'm FFFK! ”

Speaking of emotion, he actually lowered his head, hugged Licardo's head, and kissed Licardo's head heavily.

Ronaldinho was also so excited that he kept patting Licardo's shoulder: "Good boy, good boy, I knew you could do it!" That shooting action is so handsome, you're no worse than your brother back then! ”

The other players also smiled ecstatically and praised Ricardo without a head, literally blowing him to the sky.

It took a while for Brazil to end their celebrations and return to their own half.

Italian players no longer surround the referee. Maybe they didn't think they would concede so early, but they were mentally prepared for conceding a goal. What team in the world would dare to say that they could keep a clean sheet against this Brazilian team in 90 minutes?

The Magic Quintet, no, now it's a Magic Quartet, and it's not for nothing.

Italy kicks off and the game resumes. The Italians seemed to be very calm on the ball, and under Pirlo's control, they played unhurriedly and did not rush to press the attack.

Pereira had previously rushed to the sidelines to celebrate when Ricardo had scored. At this moment he had calmed down, and after watching for a while, he sat back in the coach's seat with some regret.

It would be nice if the Italian team pressed hard. Brazil's goal was still a little too early, which is not necessarily a good thing, and the Italians had plenty of time to equalise so they didn't rush at all.

One minute later, Cafu played a 45-degree diagonal pass down the right flank, with Materazzi and Adriano running towards the landing point at the same time.

Materazzi was in a hurry to clear the siege, but he made a mistake in his rush and almost caused an own goal.

However, he soon had a good performance, Pirlo took a free-kick, Materazzi jumped high in the crowd, and the ball went straight to the corner. Carlos clears the ball with a big foot.

Robert. Carlos didn't make the same mistake as he did at the '98 World Cup, when Zinedine Zidane's header rolled through his wicket and into the door.

The Italian team used their physical advantage to constantly put pressure on the Brazilian team. Their striker, Tony, is tall and strong, like a small tank.

And when it comes to set-pieces, Materazzi can also show his skills. Prior to his move to Inter Milan, Materazzi was the second-most goalscorer in Serie A, behind free-kick king Mihajlovic.

For Italy's style of play, Pereira also seemed quite helpless. The physical gap is sometimes not bridged by technology.

He can only let the team recycle and pay attention to the protection of the second landing point to contain the Italian attack. But there was nothing he could do about set-pieces, and he could only signal for the team to reduce fouls.

But this is the final, the players are fighting fiercely, how can it not be fouled?

And the Italian team played well together, although the players' feet were inferior to Brazil's, but this does not mean that Brazil can easily break the ball. In many cases, the only way to avoid the football from being run into a dangerous area is to use foul tactics.
