PS: First of all, I would like to ask you for a recommendation vote......

When they saw that it was not Inzaghi, the maker of the penalty, but Robert Baggio standing on the penalty spot, everyone who watched this game set off a lot of waves in their hearts, after all, in the World Cup final in the United States four years ago, the scene of Baggio kneeling and crying in front of Tafarel was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

That penalty was a watershed moment in Baggio's career, and before that, he was the god and hero of Italian football, the undisputed attacking heart of Juventus and the national team, and his personal popularity reached the peak of his career; After this penalty shoot-out, Baggio first lost his main place in the competition with Pierrot, and the central position of the national team was also a thing of the past under Sacchi's prejudice, although he had a good performance in Fiorentina and Inter Milan in the past two years, his dominance on the field is no longer comparable to that before 94.

The most important thing is that after missing such a crucial penalty, Roberto Baggio still has the courage to continue to appear from 12 yards, which in itself deserves everyone's admiration!

Not every star has the courage and mentality to do so, for example, two famous world-class stars, Mateus and Bergkamp, who have shied away from taking penalties after missing penalties in quick succession on key occasions.

The referee took a look around and blew the whistle after noticing that the players except Baggio and Barthez had retreated to the outside of the penalty area!

Looking at Barthez standing in front of the goal, Baggio took a deep breath, calmed his mind, made a mid-distance run, and then gently picked the ball towards the center of the goal...... A spoon penalty!

Barthez didn't expect the opponent to dare to play so freely at such a time, and he had already pounced on the right side of the goal with all his might, and he couldn't do anything about the spoon penalty kicked by Baggio, and could only watch the ball fly into the gate guarded by him!

1-0, after almost an hour of fierce battle, Italy finally took the lead thanks to this penalty created by Inzaghi!

"Spoon! It's actually a spoon penalty! The commentator's passionate roar can really be called deafening, "Baggio's penalty is so beautiful!" No one could have imagined that in such a crucial game, in the shadow of the penalty missed at the World Cup in the United States four years ago, Baggio could still kick such a freehand spoon penalty! ”

"After being the first to score by Italy, who are the best at counter-attacking, the situation on the pitch of the French team has become very passive...... With half an hour left on the clock, they have to find a way to equalise in the next minute! ”

After the game restarted, under the organization and scheduling of Zidane, the French team created a lot of good chances to score on the field, but their starting center forward Givas was too weak, and did nothing under the defense of Nesta and Materazzi, wasting Zidane's great opportunity to create a zào, and there was no sign that this was a super scorer who scored more than 40 goals in Ligue 1 in the past two seasons.

Thanks to Givash's "generosity", the French team, although they were extremely offensive after the restart, were always in a circle of inability to score. At the same time, it was precisely because of the weakness of the strikers that the burden of scoring fell on the shoulders of the rest of the French team.

If the French team's back-cut attack of Djokaeff and Blank in the previous game could have received a surprising effect, then this time the French's back-cut attacking tactics under the cover of the Italians against the Italians were completely useless. Because under Italy's extremely tight defensive system, except for Zidane, who can also get rid of the defense and fight for some opportunities to pass or shoot with his personal ability, the other French players who inserted it did not have the opportunity to get up and hit the goal lightly, and could only use the opportunity of the set-piece in front of the court to threaten the goal guarded by Pagliuca.

As the host of this World Cup, the French team hopes to lift the final championship trophy on the soil of their homeland and become one of the most decorated players to win the Hercules Cup for the first time on behalf of France. As a result, as the remaining time of the match became less and less, the French players' emotions began to gradually become impatient, and their scrambling actions in the game gradually became ferocious.

I don't know if there are concerns about the feelings of the French fans and the so-called "home advantage" of the French team, the referee did not make a penalty for blowing fouls for these suspected fouls many times, but signaled the players on both sides to continue the game.

And the players of the French team made good use of this conniving attitude of the referee, the most direct manifestation of which is that their actions in the game are becoming bigger and bigger.

The 75th minute of the game was a good example of this: Italy once again took advantage of the French player's mispass to play a quick counter-attack, but Deschamps and Karembo, who quickly returned to the defense, used both hands and feet to bring Robert Baggio to the ground, who broke through with the ball, without receiving any form of punishment from the referee.

"Holy! Is this referee okay? Dare to play this kind of home whistle in such a crucial game? Seeing that the referee still didn't say anything about this kind of Cheng dù's foul, Zhuang Mingge was naturally furious when he watched the game in the box, and the last thing he saw was that the team he supported suffered from the referee or some off-field factors.

At the same time, the Italian fans, who had long been extremely dissatisfied with the referee's connivance with the French, finally broke out because of the foul by Deschamps and Karembo, and for a while there were countless boos from the stands dedicated to the referee.

Amid the boos of the Italian fans, the referee finally realised that his previous whistle really seemed to be a little too biased in favor of the French team. As a result, the referee quickly adjusted the punishment scale, and the first to be unlucky were naturally the French players who knew nothing about it.

Without realizing the sudden tightening of the blowing penalty, in just three minutes, three players in the French team, Deschamps, Petit and Desailly, received yellow cards for excessive action!

In the case of several defensive stalwarts carrying a yellow card, the French team's defense began to become tight, and they did not dare to use foul tactics lightly when dealing with Italy's counterattack, for fear that they would be expelled from the game by the referee because of another foul.

Although the score is now behind, the two sides are still equal in numbers. If they have to face a situation where they have to fight with one less man when they are down by the scoreline, then France really has no hope of winning at all.
