Chapter 294: Terrible Italian Defender!
"Pong! ......" with a loud bang, the football hit the crossbar, and flew out of the bottom line in the blink of an eye. Butters failed to stop the football, and the crossbar became a roadblock, a beautiful piece of metal in the hearts of French fans!
"Wow! ......" The whole world let out an exclamation, the Italian fans closed their eyes in pain, and the French fans exhaled a long breath, feeling that they would not die. They were rejoicing that God was on the French team. Pirlo hugged his head in pain, and Zidane applauded with joy.
Milan TV's famous football commentator, Rubinho, sighed: "The crossbar helped France and denied Pirlo's shot. But we see hope of an equaliser! β
The famous football commentator of France TΓ©lΓ©vision, Henrik? Hilario roared: "God is on the side of the French team!" β
The game was still in full swing, and the French players slowly calmed down, and they patiently played with the Italian team. Under Zidane's command, the French team played a defensive counterattack. Defensive counter-attacks were originally the Italians' housekeeping skills, and the French team seemed to have a bit of a team to play the axe.
But the Frenchman didn't think so, and in the 17th minute, Vieira intercepted Pirlo's through ball and then kicked it straight to the left. Ribery scrambled up, took three steps, took control of the ball at his feet, and started running down the wing!
Tang Jue began to quickly step forward!
Italian right-back Zambrotta, who was still in the French half, was in Franz pursuit of Ribery. There was a huge shout from the French fans, and they were cheering Ribery on. Amid the shouts of the fans, Ribery is getting faster and faster!
How could Gattuso catch up with the young and vigorous Ribery. I can't catch up with him. Gattuso sacrificed his last move, only to see that his center of gravity dropped and he wanted to destroy it with a tackle!
Ribery's pace seemed to suddenly increase a little more, and Gattuso's right foot, attached to the turf, failed to tackle the ball and bring Ribery down. There was a deafening cheer from the north side of the stadium!
The famous football commentator of France TΓ©lΓ©vision, Henrik? Hilario shouted, "Ribery has burst through!" Gattuso can't stop him! Don picks up in the middle! β
Break through Gattuso, Ribery is ahead of a thoroughfare!
ESPN was quick to say: "Ribery has two options, the first option is that he can carry the ball himself. Drill into the Italian penalty area and finish the shot. The second option. He can pass the ball to Don in the middle and let Don finish the last shot. β
"What choice will he make?"
Cannavaro gave up defending against Tang Jue, he was going to stop Ribery from advancing into the penalty area, and Materazzi defended Tang Jue alone.
Leave Henry in the final. Escape the referee's decision. Materazzi successfully completed his plan. In his plans. Next up is Zinedine Zidane.
At half-time, Lippi warned him not to verbally try to provoke Tang Jue, but Materazzi at this time. Lippi's admonition has been forgotten. What's more, subconsciously, he thinks that he can't intercept Tang Jue alone, and he must use words to help him complete the defensive task.
Looking at the football, Materazzi stood between Tang Jue and the goal, grabbed Tang Jue's jersey with his right hand, and said viciously in his ear: "Boy! You don't want to get the ball! β
Shooting with the ball is the point, where does Tang Jue want to talk nonsense with him. Like a sharp arrow, with a "whoosh", Tang Jue flew in front of Materazzi!
Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. Ribery suddenly slashed at him, and at this time Kana was still three meters away from him!
Cannavaro can't stop the ball from flying into the Italian penalty area!
Henrik? Hilario exclaimed: "Good ball! Franck Ribery is known by French fans as 'Zidane's successor!' At this moment, he showed his strength and sent a wonderful pass for Don! β
Materazzi stepped on his long legs and followed closely behind Tang Jue, quickly formulating the next defensive strategy in his mind. Tang Jue's left toe was slightly warped, and the moment the football touched his instep, the speed slowed down. Immediately afterwards, Tang Jue's instep gently flicked the football outward!
ESPN exclaimed, "Don got the football!" β
Buffon began to move his position as he ran towards the ball. Through hard work, at this moment he is about to reach the reserved position. Buffon knows that the time has come to test himself!
The most sober were the photojournalists around the stadium, who nervously focused on Tang Jue, to record what happened in the next moment. The eyes of the whole world were looking at Tang Jue tightly, and at this time he was the focus of the fans of the whole world!
In the VIP seats, Chirac forgot about his image and shouted: "Shoot!" Shot! β
Alice clenched her little fists, her heart beating quickly with Tang Jue's every move. Lyon II, Tang Yuantian dining room, the air is full of the smell of anticipation!
Ribery quickly ran towards the middle after passing the ball, hoping that his movement would provide Tang Jue with an option. Ribery's movement alerted Cannavaro to cut off Don's path to the middle. Unable to besiege Tang Jue with Materazzi, at least he can prevent Ribery from receiving the ball.
Tang Jue took a big step with his right foot, his left leg leaned back, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the football, like a cobra staring at its prey. Materazzi took a big step and then yelled, "Hey! β¦β¦β
Materazzi expected that his roar would disturb Tang Jue's mind, but Tang Jue, who had already entered his own world, was not disturbed at all, and swung his left foot firmly towards the football!
At this moment, Materazzi stretched out his long left leg and blocked in front of Tang Jue.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was far away in Portugal, watched the TV and shouted: "Shoot! You can do it! β
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Tang Jue's left instep kicked hard in the middle and upper part of the football, and a golden light was like lightning, sticking to the turf, leaving his instep!
Materazzi's left leg failed to touch the ball because Tang's shot was a boccia!
Fans all over the world feel that the air is frozen and they can't breathe!
At the moment when that golden light appeared, Buffon was moving rapidly. The right foot slammed into the afterburner, like an agile cheetah swooping out. Don's shot was in the near corner, full of force, and in his opinion, Buffon couldn't stop the football.
The football flew like lightning to the inside of the post with an unstoppable momentum. The eyes of the French fans were wide and there was a glint of hope in their eyes, and the Italian fans felt that football was a sharp dagger, and the goal was their heart, and a terrible cold air was inserted into the heart, and they felt that they were dead!
The football is only 10 centimeters from the goal line!
When the French fans are ready to raise their arms and cheer. The scene they didn't want to see happened the most. Buffon, who is in peak form, is like a god. Just as the football was about to drill into the net from the side of the post, his right hand was firmly in front of the football!
In the flash of lightning, the football hit Buffon's hand. At the moment when the soccer ball touches the glove. Buffon suddenly afterburned. Football changes direction. Fly towards the outside of the column. In an instant, the soccer ball flew out of the post!
"Wow! ......" A huge exclamation rang out from the whole world. After sighing, the French fans applauded Don's brilliant shot. Italian fans escaped death to celebrate their rebirth. They began to applaud, and the stands burst into applause. The undead applause of the Italian fans was mixed with their shouts: "Buffon! Buffon! Buffon! β
At the last moment, the name knocked out the sharp dagger that was stuck in his heart. Italian fans are shouting the names of the life-saving heroes.
The shot that was bound to go in was blocked by Buffon again, and Tang Jue's brows were furrowed very tightly. He knew that the Buffon he met tonight was even more terrifying than the Serie A encounter. Domenech, who was standing in the command area, shook his head and sighed, and Lippi, who was not far away, applauded vigorously!
Rubinho, the famous football commentator of Milan TV, shouted: "Great Buffon, he once again kept Don's shot out of the goal!" In Serie A last season, Tang broke the goal he guarded four times, and tonight he used his wonderful save to tell the whole world that he can stop Tang in the World Cup! β
Henrik? Hilario lamented: "Gianluigi Buffon kept Don's inevitable shot out of goal, and we have to marvel at how perfect Buffon was tonight. If it weren't for his flawless performance, the French team would have made the score 2-0 or even 3-0 long ago! β
ESPN said: "Gianluigi Buffon made a great save in front of the fans of the world. He is a well-deserved number one goalkeeper in the world! β
"The Italians are known for their counter-attacking tactics, and a few seconds ago, the Frenchman told the Italians that they can play the same good counter-attacking tactics," German state television said. If it weren't for Buffon's great save, the score would now be 2-0. β
Sky TV said: "Ribery, Don and Gianluigi Buffon gave us a great battle of attack and defence. Gianluigi Buffon's brilliant performance told the world that it was impossible to break down the Italian goal from the ground. β
Gattuso pulled Buffon up, gave him a bear hug, and applauded loudly. Ribery stepped forward and patted Tang Jue on the shoulder comfortingly. Tang Jue shook his head and said, "I'm fine!" β
Maradona, who was sitting in the VIP seat, said after regretting: "If Don pulls the football back with his left foot and shoots with his right foot, this goal will be difficult to say!" β
β¦β¦
Gianluigi Buffon's great performance boosted the confidence of the Italian players and at the same time put a certain amount of pressure on the psychology of the French players. In the next game, the Italian team launched a wave of high-rise, tidal attacks against the French goal. From afar, the blue sea flooded the French team's half!
In the 20th minute of the second half, Pirlo sent a corner kick, and Materazzi pressed Thuram to get to the top of the ball. The ball changes direction and flies towards the top left corner of the goal. "Pong!" With a bang, the ball hit the crossbar and flew off the bottom line. The crossbar again blocked the Italian's goal.
ESPN said: "It seems that God is on the side of the French tonight!" β
In the 23rd minute of the second half, Totti fired a shot from outside the box. The ball is deflected off the goal and flew off the baseline.
In the 26th minute of the second half, Grosso, who came up with the assist, received Totti's diagonal cross in the penalty area, bypassed Sagnol and shot with his feet. Butters saves the ball from the bottom line!
Italy went on the offensive but couldn't knock on the door guarded by Butters, and Lippi began to make substitutions. He made two substitutions at once, with Piero replacing Camoranesi and Iaquinta replacing Perrotta.
Afterwards, it was said that Lippi's substitution was a success. In the 28th minute, Piero helped Italy win the seventh corner of the game. Pirlo's corner flew into the French box again!
Materazzi, who was extremely excited, once again pressed Thuram to the top of the ball. A golden light flashed and the ball flew into the net from the top right corner of the goal!
The famous football commentator of Milan TV, Robinho, ecstated: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Now the score is 1-1! Italy equalised! β
German TV quickly said: "Materazzi has changed from a sinner to a successful minister!" β
Sky TV said: "Italy equalised thanks to Materazzi's goal! β
ESPN said: "Terrible Italian defenders. In the semi-finals, Italy opened the door to victory with left-back Grosso. Now another Italian defender helped Italy equalize! β
Spanish national television said: "Lippi's substitution worked wonders, as Piero won a corner for Italy two minutes after coming on. It was with this corner that Italy equalised. Towards the end of the first half, Materazzi knocked Don over to give France a penalty. β
"Zinedine Zidane scored the penalty and Materazzi was the sinner of the Italian team. Now scoring the French goal and helping the team equalize, he has become a hero for the Italian team! (To be continued......)
