The smiles on Anderson's face were already clearly visible, but in the next second, they were all frozen on his face like ice.

Because Perrin actually paused in the air for a moment, and then hooked his spoon penalty with his foot.

Perrin's height has reached 1.81 meters, and among players of the same age, he should be regarded as a relatively tall player, otherwise he would not be trained as the main goalkeeper in the future.

In the process of saving this penalty, when Perrin pounced, he actually knew that he had been fooled, so he tried to unload all his strength, and then sat on the ground halfway, and then he forcibly propped up his body and blocked the football in the air with a movement similar to a scorpion's tail swing.

He miraculously saved Anderson's spoon penalty!

At this moment, all the Italian players gathered around the midfield and yelled excitedly, and even the head coach on the sidelines, Mr. Roca, waved his arms twice and then hugged his assistant coach.

On the side of the Brazilian team, the players were silent, although the second penalty was not the most important penalty in the exchange of penalties, but five rounds of free throws, no matter which one was missed, it was a very demoralizing thing.

Anderson covered his face in shame and slowly returned to his team's lineup, his eyes revolving around the goal line several times, looking at him, as if he wished he could turn back time and let God give him another chance to stand on the free throw line.

But there is never a time when the water that has been spilled can be recovered.

The team-mates briefly comforted Anderson before continuing to watch nervously in front of goal, where Palermo, Italy's third penalty taker, was standing.

Palermo has been the main midfielder in the Italian national team qualifying, and he, along with Anton Ma and Greco, played a major role in the Italian team's qualification. Unfortunately, after Mr. Rocca recruited Descartes into the team, Palermo also lost the main position of central midfield, his performance on the wing was far less than before, and even the substitute Mandolini performed better than him, so in the first two games of the group stage, he also lost the qualification to start in the national junior team.

It wasn't until the third game that Descartes had a chance to play in the second half, so he returned to the main lineup, but he was also in poor form that game. Palermo is likely to be one of the scapegoats for the team's defeat.

Therefore, Palermo's feelings for Descartes are mixed with emotions of love and hate, and he is also full of cherishment for the main position he has lost, and he wants to prove himself again in this round of penalty shootouts, so that Mr. Roca can see his efforts.

So he solemnly put the football on the penalty spot, then took a few steps back and stared at the Brazilian goalkeeper Felipe with a solemn expression.

Felipe also felt the burning gaze of Palermo, he was not afraid, he had played against many of the so-called genius boys in Brazil, Felipe had long been accustomed to the murderous gaze of his peers and even adult opponents, and his nerves had already been trained to be extremely thick.

Palermo ran and then raised his calf high in the air, a shot that didn't swing much, but had a lot of power. This kind of shot is so fast from the start to the goal that some goalkeepers can't react at all.

Correspondingly, this angle of the shot is also difficult to master, and it is usually used as a close shot or a quick shot after getting rid of it, which is the goalkeeper's poor reflexes. And if you want to talk about the angle, this kind of shooting is actually not very accurate.

Palermo's shot flew out with a whistling wind, past the fingertips of Brazilian goalkeeper Felipe, but also over the crossbar.

Hit the fly.

Palermo's face turned white in an instant, he covered his chin in disbelief, and ten fingers were about to reach into his mouth. How did it fly?

Palermo simply couldn't understand the mistake, from the run-up to the shot, the whole process felt really good, how could it be possible to fly away at the crucial moment?

Believe it or not, after the goal was high, there was a loud cheer from the Brazilian team, while the Italian players were dumbfounded.

It's a penalty, a goal in heaven, a goal in hell.

One second you may be rejoicing, but the next you may start crying. The fastest and most frequent exchange of joys and sorrows in the world is probably nothing more than here.

With Palermo's gloomy exit, the third member of the Brazilian team walked up with nervousness and a smile.

The third penalty for Brazil was their captain Sidney, who also became famous as a teenager, who later played for the Turkish club Besiktas, although his reputation is not obvious, but in FIFA 2005, he was an out-and-out "demon", and his quality was not even inferior to that of Brazil's first defender, Thiago. Silva.

Sidney's most important thing is that he has excellent psychological qualities, although he is not a striker, he often takes penalties for club and country, and he has a record of scoring penalties in Benfica, Besiktas, and Brazil's national junior team, and is a reliable pillar of the team in key moments.

With a bit of trepidation, Sidney slotted the penalty and the score was back to a draw, with the one-bullet revolver back in the hands of Italy.

Italy's fourth-round players were also their captain Bivio, the 88-year-old who made his debut in Atalanta and later moved to Fiorentina, where he was an important substitute for the team, but unfortunately due to talent, he was unable to play in the end.

But he is also a player with a calm surname, even if he can't play in the main team, he will never cause trouble in the team, and he can recruit when the team needs it, and he is the type of player who is willing to contribute very much to all managers.

Out of affection and trust in him, Mr. Rocca placed him in the fourth appearance.

And Sidney did not live up to the expectations of the coach and teammates, he steadily launched a boccia ball, although the ball speed is not fast, but the angle is very tricky, almost brushing the post and rolling into the goal line, although the goalkeeper of the Brazilian team Felipe tried his best, but his height is only 1.79 meters, and his arm span is only a little more than two meters, and he can only sigh at this goal.

Brazil's fourth player was once again pushed to the free-throw line with no choice but to push him to the penalty line.

This player was very good in this game, and he did a good job of defending against Descartes' Marcelo. Although Descartes scored a goal in the second half, frankly, that goal did not have much to do with Marcelo, and he ran back into the box from the left-back position to fill in the two centre-backs, which can only be regarded as a help, not a responsibility.

However, Marcelo has been blaming himself for this, he had deliberately seized a great opportunity before the end of the second half, originally thought that he could create a stunner for the Brazilian team, but the goal was ruined by Descartes' long-distance return defense!

Like Anderson, Marcelo went to the free-throw line with a wave of reluctance.

He didn't look at Descartes before the free throw, but took a closer look at the position of the Italian goalkeeper Perrin. Due to his height and length, Perrin stands in front of the goal almost enough to cover most of the goal, which puts great pressure on the penalty kick players, because at this time, they subconsciously want to put the football out of the reach of the goalkeeper, but this requires strong control and excellent footwork, and also needs to have a good mentality, those players who are not strong in psychological quality basically do not even have the courage to stand on the free throw line.

But Marcelo is not afraid, he debuted in the Fluminense team at the age of 14, has always been the main force of Brazilian youth teams at all levels, and has played as the main player in the Fluminense first team this year.

Running, shaking shoulders, suddenly slowing down the tempo and pushing in the opposite direction, Marcelo's shot easily fooled Perrin and pushed into the bottom right corner of the goal.

There was nothing Perrin could do about the goal, so he could only fold his waist in frustration and set his sights on the last penalty taker of the Italian team, Descartes.

Descartes was actually very nervous at this time, in the 94 World Cup final, Baggio played in the same position as him, and then he missed the penalty that made the world regret, and also left that timeless classic melancholy back, so this time, will Descartes become the next Baggio, or rewrite the fate of the Italian team?

Although the Brazilian team still has a penalty player, but at this time, all eyes are on Descartes, the fifth penalty player, how heavy the pressure is, I believe the whole world will understand.

It is said that the Dutch team not only did not have players willing to take penalties, but in the penalty shootout, they didn't even want to play the fifth position, coach Rijkaard named Bergkamp, who had never been willing to take penalties, refused without hesitation, and then the pigtail coach let Davies play for the fifth time, and the little boar who has always been surnamed Ge Hao shook his head more than a rattle, and finally in desperation, the Dutch coach had to forcibly order the vice-captain Koku to appear at the end of the list.

Then we all know the result, Cocu did not play at all, and the Dutch team was directly accounted for by the Italians in the first four rounds.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the Dutch team has always been the "uncrowned king", although their players are all talented, but they have always lacked a "brave heart", compared to the indomitable Germans, the Dutch are like a beautiful glass work of art, beautiful but not able to withstand beatings.

When we talk about the Dutch penalty, it's just to show you that it's not as simple as you see it outside the TV, a guy walking up, kicking and then coming down again, and his mental test of the penalty taker is simply not something you can imagine.

We may have taken penalties when we usually play wild ball, and everyone giggles up and kicks around to complete the task, which feels easy and enjoyable! But you must know that in a big competition such as the World Cup or Champions Cup, a penalty is likely to determine the ownership of tens of millions of dollars, and a penalty is likely to determine whether you are rich and handsome with a weekly salary of 220,000 pounds or a poor and ugly with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan.

On this battlefield, knowledge cannot determine fate, but penalties can.

Descartes silently walked to the penalty spot, set the ball, and took a deep breath.

At this time, the goalkeeper of the Brazilian team, Felipe, was still tidying up his gloves, of course, not because of any problems with his gloves, but purely a habit, and he liked to use such small movements to help himself relax before kick-off.

A lot of people have some little habits like this.

Felipe then heard the referee blow the whistle for a free throw.

At this time, he was wondering, why did Descartes stand still and not move? Suddenly, he saw Descartes raise his foot on the spot, and the ball flew straight towards the goal.

, free throws on the spot?! Felipe almost got scared to pee! There are precedents for making free throws without running on the spot, but they are very rare, and they are usually only used in less important games when the players are very relaxed, but who would have thought that in such a tense moment, Descartes would use such an unconventional way of taking free throws?

You know, although it is very hidden to not run, but at the same time it also loses strength, without strength there is no speed, in the forward-on-goalkeeper one-on-one ten-yard line duel, speed is definitely a very important factor.

A fast penalty is likely to be too long for the goalkeeper to save in the right direction, but if it is slow, it is likely to give the goalkeeper a second time to react, and for these goal-line players, it may only take a few tenths of a second to pounce from one end of the goal to the other end of the goal.

Therefore, although there is a certain advantage to taking free throws on the spot, they do not often appear in penalty games.

Descartes, however, adopted such an approach that no one expected.

Even Felipe, the goalkeeper of the Brazilian team, thought that he would take a few steps back, and then slowly engage in psychological warfare with himself, who knew that he was like a bandit who came to check the water meter, did not reason with you at all, and broke in directly!

Then poor Felipe only made a gesture to scoop into the air and watched the ball fly from his right-hand side into the goal.

There was a sudden earth-shattering cheer from the Italian players, who were also surprised by Descartes' choice, but in any case, the goal was scored, and now they are 4-3 ahead of Brazil again!

All the pressure was transferred to Brazil's fifth player in an instant!

The eyes of the Brazilian players have also turned to their team-mate, striker Mezenga.

It stands to reason that the coach of the Brazilian team, Rodriguez, placed Mezenga in the fifth position, and naturally he is very confident in him.

But now, it's really time to decide life and death with one goal.

The previous 20 years of unbeaten penalty kicks, and the previous reputation of "king of penalties", all of which are useless at this moment.

All they need to focus on is this one goal.

The goal is scored, and the Brazilian team still has a chance to continue its life, and may even turn defeat into victory; The goal is not scored, it is all over, and Brazil will be another passerby at this World Junior Championship.

Mezenga's forehead was instantly covered with sweat.

He walked out of the Brazilian team, and what he used to think was a half-football field that he could run several round and back football fields in a split second suddenly became so long, so long. The wide door suddenly blurred his vision, and his confident pace began to become awkward.

If he had the chance, I believe he would never mind telling the head coach of the Brazilian team, Mr. Rodriguez, that someone else would take the penalty!

It's a pity that the time can't be restarted, and the set appearance list can't be changed.

Mezenga could only swallow his saliva and stood on the ten-yard line.

Then he watched for a long time and felt that it might be more secure to kick the left side, but the right side also seemed to be good? How to choose, which side to play to fool the Italian goalkeeper?

In his hesitation, he heard the referee's whistle, and then he rushed out in a daze, ready to kick the top left corner, but when it was time to touch the ball, he noticed that the Italian goalkeeper seemed to be about to pounce to the left, so he decided to play the top right corner instead.

But by this time his foot had already touched the ball, and instead of allowing him to fool Perrin, the temporary change of direction caused the ball to fly straight towards the middle.

Then Perrin easily hugged the soft shot in an incredible gaze.

At 4:3, the Italians finally avenged the 94 World Cup, and they won!
