PS3: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verify that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
"Damn! Is there a mistake? Seeing that his goal was blown away by the referee, the depressed Inzaghi kicked the turf and splashed a piece of debris, "Yaap (Stam) you kid is so cunning, you can actually make my offside ...... at this time"
That's right, if it weren't for Vieri's pass, Stam took just half a step forward and threw Inzaghi out of an offside position, then the Netherlands would have been out of the tournament by now!
Hearing Inzaghi's unwilling words, Stam didn't say much, just smiled innocently, patted Inzaghi on the shoulder, and walked towards his own door. After all, the game is not over yet, and there is no room for Stam's sloppiness. Stamm doesn't think his luck has been so good to be able to make consecutive offside shots.
If you make a mistake and your club teammates take the opportunity to score, the team will be eliminated from the European Championship by Italy!
With less than a minute to go until the end of extra time, though, Stam's worries were unwarranted. Not long after Inzaghi's goal was whistled for offside and the first goal was disallowed, Merck blew the whistle for the end of extra time, marking the time when the much-anticipated European Championship semi-finals finally entered the brutal penalty shoot-out stage!
"Rub, I was really scared to death just now, but fortunately it was an offside goal, otherwise it would be so embarrassing if I was eliminated like this." Shocked by Inzaghi's offside goal, Rijkaard, who was shocked by the offside goal just now, drew a cross in his heart to thank God, and took the list from his assistant and began to arrange the order of the people who took the penalty.
At this moment, Rijkaard's heart can be said to be quite bottomless. You must know that from the moment the Netherlands became a football powerhouse, this tulip country has been extremely the issue of penalties!
That's right, although they have emerged penalty shooters like Neskens and Van Basten in the past few decades, the Netherlands often becomes the losing side in every penalty shoot-out - so far, the Orange have experienced a total of three penalty shoot-outs in the World Cup and the European Championship, all of which have occurred in the last eight years, but the Netherlands have not won a game, losing to Denmark (Euro 92), France (Euro 96) and Brazil (World Cup 98). It can be called the most bitter storage among all football powers. You know, although Italy is also not good at penalty kicks, and there is no shortage of 12 yards, the Rose Bowl of '94 is the best example, but the Apennines have at least tasted the taste of penalty shoot-out victory!
Coupled with the strange phenomenon of the team missing three penalties in a row in the previous game, it made Rijkaard's heart go up and down. Therefore, when determining the team's penalty players and the order of play, the Black Swan had to call all his players to his side, ready to listen to their opinions to determine the final penalty order.
The action on the Italian side was relatively neat, and the old Maldini, who had been prepared for this, waved his pen and wrote the list in less than a minute, and asked his assistant Tardelli to hand it over to the referee on his behalf.
After a short break, the players from both sides stood on the pitch again under Merck's organization, waiting for the penalty shoot-out!
With captain Paulo Maldini winning the Italian penalty in the previous coin guess, the first player to take the penalty was Roberto Di Biagio from Inter Milan.
Facing Van der Sar, who was waiting on the goal line, the midfielder did not show the slightest hesitation or hesitation, and kicked the ball into the top left corner of the goal with a powerful volley, 1-0!
After Di Biagio scored the first point in the shoot-out for Italy, the first Dutch player to take the penalty came out of the crowd and walked towards the twelve-yard point with a solemn face!
"The first Dutch player to step up and take the penalty was their captain Frank de Boer." The narrator looked at De Boer, whose expression was obviously not very confident, and said jokingly, "Looking at his appearance, I am afraid that those who don't know will think that he is going to be brave and righteous." ”
At this time, De Boer, who was standing at the penalty spot, was fiddling with the ball while secretly looking at Toldo's expression, as if he wanted to see something on his face. In his opinion, if he can find some signs or flaws in Toldo's actions, then he can take this penalty with more confidence!
It's a pity that in the face of De Boer's defeated men, Toldo did not show any flaws, and he seemed very relaxed, and even had the mood to jump twice in front of the goal, which added a lot of pressure to the preoccupied Dutch captain!
So, De Boer, who found nothing, had to give up this little abacus, retreated a short distance backwards, and then ran directly and pushed the ball into the middle of the goal! De Boer judged based on his rich game experience that Toldo would definitely choose to pounce on both sides of the goal, and would never defend the middle in such a critical situation!
In this way, the success rate of choosing to shoot in the middle is obviously higher than kicking the ball in other directions of the goal!
However, to De Boer's shock, Toldo did not act as he expected, but immediately fell to the ground at the same time as he shot the ball, choosing to save in the middle!
In such a situation, the result goes without saying, De Boer's shot was blocked by Toldo, and this was the fourth consecutive penalty missed by the Dutch team in this game!
Seeing De Boer fall on top of the penalty for the second time in a row, the audience at the scene and sitting in front of the TV watching the game was in an uproar. Although the Netherlands are not good at taking penalties, it is a bit exaggerated to lose four consecutive games in a game, right?
"Toldo! Once again, he saved Frank de Boer's penalty! Toldo is a god tonight! The Fiorentina goalkeeper kept the ball high and low in the game, and saved four penalties from the Netherlands, including one in extra time! Although De Boer's unconfident expression could vaguely guess this outcome before, when this fact was in front of him, the commentator still couldn't hide his excitement, "If Italy finally knocks out the Netherlands on penalties and advances to the final of the European Championship, I think Coach Maldini will have to take the credit on Toldo's head!" If it weren't for his god-like play tonight, Italy would not have been able to make it to the penalty shootout! ”
