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.
With Wiltord's equaliser coming in the 89th minute, when the over-excited French wasted time in celebration, the game was effectively going to stoppage time when Vieri restarted in the centre circle.
And when Inzaghi broke Barthez to help Italy re-establish their lead, there was little stoppage time left, and at best there was only enough time for the Frenchman to complete an attack. If something gets in the way or something goes wrong, I'm afraid the French won't even touch the frame of the Italian goal, and the game will be over.
In other words, if nothing else, Inzaghi's goal in stoppage time will be the decisive goal that will determine the final winner of this European Cup!
Naturally, the French side expressed strong dissatisfaction with this situation, and Deschamps and Blank immediately approached Friske and asked the referee to extend stoppage time. And this request of theirs was naturally rejected by Friske - what are you kidding, you who only cared about celebrating on the sidelines before, and refused to return to the field, but now that the score is behind, you remember the preciousness of time? How can there be such a good thing in the world, everything has to follow your wishes?
Friske was not such a rigid referee and would often give a certain amount of accommodation to both sides of the game according to the actual situation, but the French player's previous expression of deliberately delaying time really fell in his eyes, which led him to refuse so resolutely.
If you don't die, you won't die, and the French have proved the correctness of this sentence with their practical actions and personal experience.
"Hmph, it looks like the French are now going to pay a terrible price for their previous delays." Although this behavior of the French players is understandable from the point of view of the rules, as a supporter of Italy, Roberto Baggio is naturally very unhappy with it. Therefore, after Inzaghi scored what was almost a killer goal, Baggio was happy to gloat: "If they had returned to their own half to prepare for the game, they would have at least a few minutes to prepare for the counter-attack." And now, in the last few tens of seconds, if they can complete an attack, the referee will be merciful. ”
Le Maire on the sidelines could be said to be crying at this time, after all, he had instructed the French players to deliberately delay the game time for everyone to see, so he had no position to stop the Italian players from celebrating now.
However, as if to deliberately mock the Frenchman's failed calculations, Inzaghi, who scored the winning goal, did not run to the sidelines to celebrate, but just waved his fist twice into the air with excitement and ran towards the Italian half with Vieri and them - although very excited, Inzaghi was not negligent, he clearly remembered that the referee had not yet blew the final whistle, and it was far from time to relax.
Seeing Inzaghi acting like this, Deschamps and others couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. is ashamed that the other party has no intention of delaying time at all, which makes them worry in vain when they spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain; Isn't this a shameless way to delay their time?
It would be nice if there was no such contrast, but Wiltord and Inzaghi scored less than three minutes apart, especially the very different actions of the two sides after the goal, which directly formed a stark contrast in the eyes of the fans!
In this way, if France had won, it would have been better to say, and no one would have cared about the little tricks they had played in the game; But if they end up losing in the final, then what they did before is destined to be ridiculed by fans and media for years to come!
So, for the sake of their reputation and the championship trophy within reach, the French players had no choice but to fight with their backs and launch a final wave of attacks against the goal guarded by Toldo after the game resumed!
In the end, when Zidane's volley from outside the box flew high above the crossbar, Frisker finally blew two short and one long whistles under the expectant gaze of thousands of Italian fans, ending the much-anticipated European Cup final!
Thanks to Inzaghi's brace and Vieri's goal, Italy beat France 3-2 in the final and won their second European Championship in football history!
The moment they heard the final whistle, the Italian players sitting on the bench could no longer contain their excitement and rushed towards their teammates on the field...... After nearly a month of fierce battles with powerful enemies from all over Europe, they finally became the final victors, and were able to enjoy the sweetest fruits of victory under the envious gaze of others!
Even veterans such as Maldini and Di Livio are no longer as reserved and calm as they used to be, and they are jumping and jumping on the pitch with their arms together - you know, although Italy are four World Cup winners, their record in the European Championship is lackluster, a gold medal more than 30 years ago is their best result, and they have not even qualified for the group stage in the last two editions, let alone compete for the championship trophy!
The most excited is Paolo Maldini, who has won the World Cup and European Championship as captain, and finally has the qualification to compete with the legendary Italian legend Dino Zoff in terms of national team achievements!
The French players, on the other hand, wept bitterly on the pitch, and the fact that they were killed by the Italians at the last minute took a toll on their psyche. However, the wood is already in the boat, and at this moment Zidane can only accept the reality of losing two consecutive international competitions at the hands of the Italians, go home to lick their wounds, and wait for the opportunity for revenge.
But at this time, except for those die-hard French fans, it is clear that no one will pay attention to the expressions of these losers. After a nervous hustle and bustle of the on-site staff, Maldini and his son received the trophy from UEFA President Beckenbauer, and held it high in the cheers of countless Italian fans, and the atmosphere in the stadium reached its climax!
Successfully winning the World Cup and the European Championship not only made the Italian national team finally stand on the top of Europe again after 32 years of struggle, but also marked that Italy became the first team in history to win the Delaunay Cup after winning the World Cup!
Such an achievement is enough for all members, including the head coach Maldini Sr., to leave their own mark in the history of Italian football!
