Last minute of extra time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Tongfan hasn't given up yet, every second is quickly using his brain to think about every possible way to save the Three Lions, because overthinking has led to serious energy consumption, and the whole person seems to have fallen into a state of isolation, and his temples and forehead are about to ooze blood!

Can't be defeated!

You can't be defeated!

But how do you change this damn everything? All the means have been used, what else can be done to reverse the situation? Could it be that you can only resign yourself to fate and lose to a mere [Curse of the Ball King]?

Unwilling!

I'm so unwilling!

At this moment, the Ernst Happel Stadium suddenly erupted into a roar, and a huge wave of sound swept through the stadium, the stands, Vienna, the Danube, the Vienna Forest, and so on, like a terrifying shock wave generated by an atomic bomb...... and the majestic Mount Alpis!

Li Tongfan sobered up from his state of thinking and raised his head blankly, what happened?

……“…… David Beckham...... Shaking off Podolski's defence, a low-threat half-high pass sent the ball to the edge of the penalty area, where it was Alan Smith who picked up the ball, but he didn't seem to be very focused, and it seemed that the two own goals hit him too ...... Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Shot? Oh, God...... goal…… goal…… goal…… goooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！ ”

“…… Shot! The ball is in!! Straight to the dead end!! Unbelievable! Fantastic! Smith atoned for his sins and the ball swooped into the top right corner of the goal, leaving goalkeeper Lehmann unresponsive...... Fast! It's so fast! In the last seconds of the game, sinner Alan Smith saved England from the edge of the cliff with a stunning shot......"

“…… God, a terrifying shot from Alan Smith! Three or nine .8 meters from the goal, a burst full of power and shock!! This peerless goal reminded me of Zinedine Zidane's out-of-the-sky kick in the Champions League final...... oh，god！！ …… No, Alan Smith had a longer and faster shot on goal...... At 188 kilometers per hour, God, even if the goal is breached, the Germans should go to the collective line to thank God for the fact that Smith's unstoppable shot did not hit them......"

The narrators in different languages went into a frenzy.

…… What happened?

As soon as Li Tongfan raised his head, a figure jumped high to cover the light of the dazzling lights on the canopy of the Ernst Happel Stadium and flew in his direction...... Poof!

Before he could see the white hair clearly, Li Tongfan was thrown to the ground by the huge momentum, and then the weight on his body increased rapidly...... Lao Li's brain was a little clear, and there were the joyful cheers of the English people and the cries of the hammers in his ears-"...... Goal, we score! ”

“3：3！ Haha, the damn Germans must not have thought of it, Alain, you fucking awesome......"

What the? …… Scored?

Li Tongfan listened to the excited shouts of the hammers pressing on him, and realized that he was being stacked by these damn guys again, and every time it was the bottom one, this feeling was really painful and happy............ When the game resumed, the English celebrations weren't over.

In the stands, whose tears are flying?

Countless English hunks and beauties who cried with joy writhed wildly, kissing and hugging everyone around them...... Colourful flags and slogans transform the North Stand of Ernst Happel into a spectacle of competing waves! Tears welled up in her eyes again, but compared to the bitterness and despair of a minute ago, this time the tears were so happy and sweet...... In the South Stand, more than 20,000 Germans held the back of their heads with their hands in unison, with a ghostly expression. Loew, who was invited to the stands by referee Rossetti with a red card, fell silent, and Smith's groundbreaking super burst just now made Loew suddenly feel a little bad, which was not a shot that should have appeared on the field...... It's incredible!

There was a chill in the gloomy night sky, could it be that God was moved by childlike innocence and kept playing two teams?

…… The last 30 seconds of the game.

3：3！

There is no doubt that the final of Euro 2008 will end in a penalty shoot-out!

Although England almost never won a penalty shoot-out, Alan Smith's shocking long-range strike saved England fans from a desperate situation, so they were able to hold down the evenly matched German fan camp with momentum, and the countdown to the Three Lions fans at the Ernst Happel Stadium was so loud - "...... 25…… 24…… 23…… 20……”

on the field.

John Terry burst out of the diagonal spur and kicked the ball off the feet of Schweinsteiger as he was breaking...... "...... 15…… 14…… 12……”

Gerrard received a pass from James Milner 30 yards out and shook off Frijns to shoot with his feet, and the ball was punched out by the attention of the old urchin Lehmann, who finally suffered cramps from exhaustion and fell to the ground...... "...... 5…… 4…… 3…… 2……”

James Milner fired another volley into the face of the ball that was knocked out by Lehmann, but unfortunately it was not on target under Ballack's disturbance, and the ball flew high into the stands behind the goal............ 1…… 0！！！！ ”

Force-force-force-force Italian whistle Rossetti's cheeks bulged and blew the two-short and three-long whistle for the end of the game amid the cheers of the fans...... Euro 2008's 90-minute regular season and 30-minute extra time are finally over!

The shouts of the fans quickly faded away, and the atmosphere in the stadium was tense and restless...... Almost frozen, no one was in it, whether it was a German chariot fan or a Three Lions fan, there was a feeling of difficulty breathing!

Because, the most cruel, the most brutal, the most brutal penalty shootout is coming!

…… Sidelines.

The players on both sides are lying on the ground and receiving massages from the staff, trying to recover a little bit of energy in the shortest possible time, while those who are likely to be sent by the manager to take the penalty are either counting the way they take the penalty with their heads down, or constantly taking deep breaths to dispel the tension in their hearts...... Lee Tong Fan bent down to help David Beckham slap his sore-chested calf as he raced through his brain for the list of penalty takers. After extra-time substitutions, England had a number of midfielders who were good at taking penalties. Chelsea Frank Lampard is the Blues' first penalty taker, while Steven Gerrard, the soul of the Red Army, is also Anfield's most trusted penalty shooter, and others such as Gareth Barry, David Beckham and others are trusted by those who have a fighting spirit in penalty kicks, but ...... The weakness of the England team lies in the psychological quality!

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard have enjoyed great glory at club level, but they have both missed penalties in the national team, and in the 06 World Cup in Germany, both Germans missed penalties with Portugal, burying the hopes of the Three Lions to qualify, and Lee Tong-fan wonders if they have shaken off their psychological haze...... Who should I choose? How do you arrange the order in which you take your penalty?

……“…… The game ended up in a penalty shootout, many people predicted before the game that the crazy Lee might sweep the German team by a big score, in fact, five of the six goals in the game were indeed scored by the English, but two of them went into their own goal, such bad luck, can they win in the penalty shootout? ”

“…… In fact, even if you put aside the element of luck, England's decline in the penalty shoot-out is obvious, and even worse is that their opponents Germany are masters of penalty shoot-outs, and if Crazy Lee does not raise his magical middle finger in the penalty shoot-out, I am more optimistic about Germany winning the championship......"

Comrade Seist, the former famous [British Jelly], the loyal dog leg of the madman Lee, and now the No. 1 football commentator on English national television, sat on the bench and trembled nervously at this moment, but he had to fulfill his duty: "The penalty shootout is about to begin, Beckham and Ballack go to the referee, and the two captains need to use a coin toss to decide the goal and order of the penalty...... Oh, it looks like the Germans won, Ballack chose to serve, and the Germans will start the first penalty......"

Gary Lineker interjected: "The Germans have been cunning in their selection so that they can easily transfer the pressure to England's penalty takers......"

…… on the field.

After a short break, the players from both sides lined up in two circles in the middle of the pitch, each with their arms around their team-mates' shoulders, and the huge Ernst Happel Stadium fell silent, with pins falling and the players seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats...... England goalkeeper Joe Hart tightened his gloves and slowly walked to the goal line with the eyes of England fans around the world...... And Germany's first penalty taker was Lucas Podolski, who almost beat Three Lions striker in extra time!

Penalty shootout, it's on!

……“…… Germany's first penalty was scored by Podolski, and Prince Porti was Germany's second-to-second penalty taker behind captain Michael Ballack, who had not missed a penalty in a national league before...... It was a very important penalty and it was clear that Germany had brought Podolski in order to successfully transfer the pressure to England......"

on the field.

Podolski carefully picked up the [Europass], and the football was marked with the names of the two teams, the venue and the time, which was a symbol of honor. Prince Porti kissed the ball lightly and placed it firmly on the spot...... The stadium of 50,000 people was silent!

Forcing referee Rossetti to stand in the box and blow the whistle.

Back off...... Run up...... Hitting...... Bang!

The ball turned into a white lightning bolt and whistled towards the bottom right corner of the goal!

Joe Hart was right, but Podolski's shot was too powerful, too fast, and the most uncomfortable angle for the goalkeeper was the ball that bounced off the right post...... Powerless! Hart slammed his fist against the lawn in remorse, and the boss had already said that Podolski's shot was 100% likely to be in the bottom right corner, but his reaction was still slow...... The German fan camp erupted in a monstrous cheer, and as the camera swept over, Loew in the stands and the fans around him jumped out of their seats...... Sidelines.

Li Tongfan, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the members of the coaching staff in front of the bench, sighed slightly, but unfortunately, it seems that the information provided by the FM2008 database query system is not omnipotent, although he is familiar with the penalty habits of the opponent's penalty team players in the penalty shootout, but if it is a powerful volley like Podolski, the goalkeeper has no time to react, at most, that is, to increase the probability of some saves...... "...... Podolski, the ball is in!! The Germans transferred the pressure to their opponents! The German commentator cheered.

It's England's turn!

Germany goalkeeper Lehmann staggered towards the goal, and England's first penalty was also taken by the striker Michael Owen!

Owen in FM2008 [penalty] surname 18, [calm] surname 20, according to the system evaluation is a penalty kick player, so Lao Li was the first to send him.

“…… Oh, England's first penalty player was Michael Owen, who was also a very good goalscorer, look at the quality of the penalty shootout......

Forcing Owen to set up the football, slowly retreated, exited the penalty area, and then ran quickly...... Bang!

The soccer ball was kicked out ............ Ay...... Oops...... Yes? Actually shot away? Michael Owen shoots the ball over the crossbar...... Owen, who performed well in this game, and Owen, who had already won the top scorer of this cup, actually kicked the penalty away...... It's too much pressure!! ”

Lehmann clenched his fists and roared into the air, the Germans still cheering from the stands, while the England fans gasped in disbelief with their heads in their hands...... Is England's nightmare of penalty defeat going to strike once?

on the field.

Michael Owen lifted the placket of his red shirt over his head in disbelief, and the England players in midfield lowered their heads in disappointment in slow motion...... Sidelines.

Li Tongfan watched Owen kick the penalty kick, and his heart jumped hard...... However, Lao Li suddenly had a strange feeling, and he found that he didn't seem to be too worried............ Second round.

The second appearance of the German team was Schweinsteiger Piggy. He is the most technical player in the German team since midfield talent Deisler retired due to injury, and his footwork is outstanding!

Schweinsteiger, who was dyed gray, also withdrew far from the penalty area, and immediately began to run quickly after hearing the referee's whistle, and fired ...... ...... Joe Hart !! Oh, that's a fraction of a second! Joe Hart was right on one occasion, but Schweinsteiger's shot was so powerful that the ball smashed into his outstretched arm, changed direction slightly, and flew into the ...... of the goal."

Piggy waved his fist at the England fan, who had been booing his penalty kick behind the goal, and then turned around and drew a large heart pattern at the German fan on the other side, causing a cheer...... England.

The second to appear is Liverpool's soul Steven Gerrard!

Faced with his opponent Lehmann, who was constantly teasing with his eyes and various small movements, Gerrard bent down and carefully fiddled with the football...... The whistle sounded.

Gerrard slowly got up and stepped back into the box, but after four steps back, he suddenly turned and accelerated to shoot, and the ball whistled towards the goal............ Steven Gerrard, the heart of Liverpool, has been hailed by Zinedine Zidane as Europe's most versatile midfielder in recent years, and it will be interesting to see if he can salvage a glimmer of hope for England...... Yes!! Suddenly turn around and shoot!! Goal ...... Whoa, whoa, God! Lehmann pounced on the football...... Steven Gerrard pushed the ball down the middle, but Lehmann kept the ball off the crossbar with his own heel...... Both free throws missed! ”

In the stands, there were already England fans in tears, facing the German team, missing two penalties in a row, such a mistake is irreparable............ Round 3.

The penalty kick was taken by Borowski, who came on as a substitute in extra time!

The midfielder from Werder Bremen is tall and long, his skills are not weak, and his penalty skills cannot be ignored!

Swing the ball, then exit the penalty area, with your hands on your hips!

The whistle sounded.

Borowski accelerated instantly, and when he ran near the line of the penalty area, there was a sudden pause, and Joe Hart's deceived body on the goal line shook and almost lost his center of gravity, and the German fans in the stands who thought they had the victory in their hands burst into laughter...... After a small pause, Borowski instantly accelerated, and the corners of his mouth drew a mocking arc and shot hard...... "...... Borowski! The brilliant abrupt pause made Joe Hart lose his center of gravity...... Shot!! …… oh？ no！ no！！ no！！！ Joe Hart!! Joe Hart made the proud Borowski pay the price when he saved Borowski's shot! The young goalkeeper's terrible anticipation in the previous game was once again revealed, and he judged the course of the football in an instant......"

The depressed England fans finally let out their own cheers, and a dazed Borowski pulled his wet hair back of his head with both hands, and his big goldfish-like eyes were full of incredulity...... Joe Hart, on the other hand, raised his fist and roared, the one given by the boss before the penalty shoot-out that it was written that a player on the field of the German team was the same as the direction and height of the penalty, and after the first two missed saves, he believed that he had gradually found the right sense of save...... Here's your chance for England!

The third penalty was Alan Smith, the "hero" who saved the Three Lions in the last minute of extra time!

The stillness of the Enschs-Happel Stadium is terrifying!

“…… Alan Smith, who was also one of Crazy Lee's favourites at Newcastle, was banned by UEFA for three matches in the group stage against Spain for boxing opposing centre-back Marchena, and Crazy Lee kept him in the national team under huge pressure from public opinion...... He handed over one assist and one goal in this game, and he performed well except for two own goals, and see if he can repay the trust of the madman Lee......"

Forced - Smith began to run, the night wind in Vienna blew his striking white hair, there was an indescribable bleakness and might, after running four or five meters, his body leaned forward and then leaned back, and his calves swung to look at the goal and shoot directly...... Bang!

This was the biggest "scream" from football since the penalty was introduced.

After the shot, Smith didn't even look to see if the ball had gone into the net, he turned back to the camera camera and roared, then raised his index finger and shook it coldly at the German fans in the stands...... Sure enough, the ball went in!

The distance from the penalty spot to the back of the goal line, the football almost completed the journey in 0.01 seconds, as fast as the teleportation, and the German goalkeeper Lehmann had no time to judge and only had time to make a full right save...... In fact, Lehmann didn't even see clearly where the football went in!

And just as his save was about to end, something even worse happened for the Germans - there was a stabbing pain in the old urchin's right arm as it hit the ground, and then soon Lehmann felt that his arm could no longer be lifted............ "...... Smith! goooooooooal！！ A shot full of domineering, like the one he scored in the last second of extra time, too fast! German goalkeeper Lehmann simply didn't have time to react...... 2：1！！ The game turned around and England saw hope! ”

“…… Huh? What happened on the field? Lyman...... Is Lyman injured? The German goalkeeper was injured, which was a huge blow to them! The penalty shoot-out was interrupted...... The team doctor has already entered the field, and I don't know if Lehmann can still keep playing......"

“…… Lehmann couldn't keep up the game anymore and he was helped off the field by the team doctor!! The Germans had to make a substitution, but luckily they still have a substitution!! No.2 goalkeeper Nke replaces Lehmann...... This was a scene that no one expected...... Replacing the goalkeeper in the penalty shootout, the German team is in trouble!! ”

…… After a short period of scramble, the fourth round begins!

After Borowski's missed penalty and Lehmann's injury, Germany's advantage looked slim and the German fans in the stands fell silent...... Germany's fourth-place penalty was taken by Frings.

Frings is Werder Bremen's main midfielder and the team's first penalty taker. The German fans cheered as they saw Frings walk to the penalty spot, and the long-haired man was clearly trusted by the Germans.

Forcing - Frings runs, then kicks the ball out of ......"...... Eighty percent probability of bottom right, half-high ball ......"

Joe Hart's brain flashed like lightning with the information written on the information that Li Tongfan had given him, and he stomped to the right with his feet like the last time...... Bang!

Football was sealed out by Joe Hart without any suspense!

“…… oh？？ no！ no… no… no！！！！ Joe Hart saved another German penalty and it was perhaps the turning point of the game......"

Soon, amid the roar of excitement from England fans, England's fourth penalty taker slowly walked towards the penalty spot - James Milner!

Lee Tong-beom chose him because Milner came off the bench and was fit...... What's more, he is also one of the players who can maintain [Superman Condition]. Compared with Frank Lampard, who repeatedly missed penalties in the competition, Lao Li believes in the judgment of the FM system more.

Sure enough, Milner faced the German goalkeeper Enke, who had not yet had time to warm up, and sent the football into the goal with an extremely calm push into the middle!

British commentator Sester went crazy: "The ball is in!! Come in!! 2：2！ Now that the two teams are on the same starting line again, I think it was Crazy Lee's penalty man selection that worked magically......"

Partner Lineker pouted and thought: Crazy Lee's penalty selection also missed the first two penalties............ As soon as the first four rounds are over, the air at the Ernst Happel Stadium becomes viscous!

England missed the first two penalties, while the Germans, who were unbeatable in their penalty spot-kicks, conceded the latter two in a shocking way...... After five minutes of ups and downs that no one expected, the two sides actually returned to the same running line!

The final round, decide life and death!

…… Round 5, begin!

The penalty taker of the German team is the leader of the team, Michel Ballack!

The German fans in the stands folded their hands and prayed devoutly, asking God to bless the captain with the penalty! The camera gives Ballack a close-up close-up, with the central midfielder looking resolute and not showing a hint of nervousness...... In such a moment of life and death, Joe Hart, standing on the goal line, also received a close-up of the broadcast camera, and people were surprised to find that Hart was bending down to pull out a small page of paper from his socks, take a closer look, and then stuff it back in...... Seeing this scene, the German commentator pouted: "Are you imitating?" This is the patent that our German team applied for in the '06 World Cup......"

on the field.

Ballack casually stepped on the ball from the tee, then stepped back five or six meters, quietly waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the penalty.

it!

The ball shot like a disarmed cannonball into the top left corner of the goal, a typical Ballack shot, full of power, momentum and confidence...... A near-perfect shot!

But all that rang out on the Ernst Happel pitch was exclamations...... Because, Joe Hart jumped up with a small step as if he had a spring installed on the soles of his feet, and stretched out the football off the crossbar with one palm in a dazzling posture!

A more perfect save!

…… England's last referee corner was also led by captain David Beckham. This time, Beckham still had a smile on his face, just like Ballack, who was relaxed just now, as the captain, Beckham couldn't let others see his nervous side!

From the center of the pitch to the penalty spot, David Beckham has led the eyes of countless English people for centuries, and behind him is the German captain Ballack who is tearing his hair blankly, the tearful Germain fans in the stands, and the English fans who are holding their breath...... Kiss the [Europe Pass] lightly, then step on the already loose turf near the penalty spot with your foot, and carefully set the football in place...... At this moment, the whole world is watching this handsome man!

“…… David Beckham! England's best captain is now on the penalty spot. It will be a shot that will decide the fate of both sides, the one that will decide the winner of Euro 2008! If David Beckham scores football, England will make history! For the first time in the history of the Three Lions, the Three Lions lifted the Delaunay Cup......"

“…… It was the moment that was about to make history, the most precious penalty in England's history...... The pressure on Beckham can be imagined, if the penalty is missed, there is no doubt that Beckham will become the sinner referred to by Qianfu! ”

“…… Normally, the superstars on the pitch can shoot a penalty in a thousand ways, but at this moment, only a true hero has the courage to walk in front of the penalty spot...... If you want to become a hero, skill, physical strength, perseverance...... Indispensable ......"

The German fans in the stands booed desperately to distract Becky!

And all the Englishmen involuntarily held their breath, even forgetting that their hearts were beating, quietly waiting for this shot!

The last whistle of the game finally sounded!

Beckham glanced up at his teammate standing behind him, and at the black figure standing on the sidelines smiling at him, and let out a long, cloudy breath...... Then, start running!

The boos of the Germans reached the maximum in an instant!

Beckham swept across the penalty line like the wind, and a second later the instep of his foot was touching the ball...... Bang!

On the goal line, substitute German goalkeeper Enke made a save to the right side with all his might, because the team's goalkeeper coach Hank gave him a small note that clearly read: Beckham, used to the right foot, penalty kick habitual action...... Habit direction...... But...... Instead of a powerful shot on goal, the Europass jumped up like a hot air balloon filled with hydrogen, and a beautiful and deadly curved rainbow bloomed on the greenery of the Ernst Happel Stadium on July 4...... The small soccer ball, which carries the dreams of countless England fans, sinks little by little behind the goal line of the German team, and goalkeeper Enke, although he has tried his best to adjust the center of gravity of his body, can still only watch the football float over his body...... Spoon penalty?

At this time, it was actually a spoon penalty?

In the terrifying stadium of momentary silence, only the blonde man raised his hands proudly in the face of the world...... His teammates in the middle circle of the pitch pounced on him...... The Englishman in the stands went into a frenzy...... Sester, the commentator, opened his mouth and shouted: "Champion! England ......"

(To be continued)
