PS1: This is Thursday's update, a little late, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise not to stop the update......

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Due to the various shortcomings of the Golden Ball system and the fact that this "sudden death law" is objectively unfair to the losing side, UEFA has adopted a relatively more reasonable Silver Ball system to replace the controversial Golden Ball system and apply it to extra-time matches.

In Zhuang Mingge's view, the reason why the Golden Ball system was abolished after only ten years of birth is largely because the farce of the South Korea and Japan World Cup left too deep a negative impression on fans. In particular, defending champions Italy were eliminated by the all-encompassing hosts with a golden goal in the quarterfinals, which was difficult for many fans to accept.

Therefore, FIFA must take some action, such as abolishing the Ballon d'Or system and replacing it with a "more reasonable" system, in order to divert the attention of fans from the highly controversial matches.

Of course, the main reason why the Ballon d'Or system will be abolished is that this system is no longer in line with the original intention of FIFA. You know, the emergence of the Golden Ball system is because in the 90 World Cup and the 92 Euro Cup, Argentina and Denmark have achieved remarkable results with extreme defensive counter-attacking tactics (Argentina scored 5 goals in 7 games in the 90 World Cup reached the final, and Denmark, which played defensive counter-attack tactics, staged a realistic version of the Danish fairy tale in the 92 Euro Cup), FIFA introduced the Golden Ball system in order to curb this trend, which is intended to encourage teams to score more goals in the game, rather than putting a big bus in front of the goal to shrink the defense.

However, as time went on and the pressure of results, most managers' fear of the Golden Ball began to take over. In order to avoid the fate of sudden death due to the Golden Ball in the game, most teams tend to be more cautious and conservative in extra time. Such a situation is obviously contrary to the original intention of FIFA to implement the Ballon d'Or.

These managers can't be blamed for being so conservative, after all, in the case of the Golden Ball system, once the opponent scores in extra time, then the side that conceded the goal has no chance to save the defeat, and can only accept the "sudden death" ending. After adopting the silver ball system, they at least have a chance to make amends after accidentally conceding the goal, so that they will not say goodbye to the field directly after being breached by the opponent.

You must know that the job of the head coach is generally directly linked to the team's results, and if the results are not good, they will be useless even if they let the team play well. So, the more critical they get, the more conservative they tend to be in their decision-making. Unless it's a matter of life and death that they have to give it their go, it's rare to see them play with their opponents in the final stages.

However, although many celebrities and experts have expressed their support for the adoption of the silver ball system in extra time, in the eyes of many people, the practice of replacing the golden ball system with the silver ball system is really redundant - since the golden ball system has so many drawbacks, why not directly revert to the traditional format (that is, the one who scores more goals in 30 minutes of extra time wins), why do you have to separate two halves?

It is precisely for this reason that the silver ball system appeared in a voice of skepticism at the beginning, and it has never been recognized by people after being implemented for a period of time. Therefore, before the start of this European Championship, UEFA decided to revert to the traditional format next season, that is, the side with the most goals in 30 minutes of extra time between the two teams wins, and both the Golden Ball and the Silver Ball will be swept into the dustbin of history after this European Championship.

This means that this European Championship will be the only tournament with a Silver Ball system. However, so far, not a single silver ball has been born at this European Cup, which makes people wonder if the silver ball system will die in a situation where there is no harvest.

However, none of this has much to do with the Portuguese and Italian players who are now battling it out on the pitch. For these players, getting the time to score in extra-time to beat their opponents and get a ticket to the final of the European Championship is what they should be concerned about at this moment.

When the game entered extra-time, the Portuguese players, who had always dominated the schedule, could not help but start to get tired. After all, Figo and Rui Costa are both veterans in their thirties, and even if they avoid the brigade under the deliberate drums of the Football Association, they will not be able to compete with the young men in their twenties in terms of physical fitness.

As a result, with Figo and Costa, the two main players, trapped by a lack of physical strength, Portugal's offensive on the field began to weaken. This, in turn, gave the Italian players more opportunities to counter-attack.

Although Scolari, who noticed this in time, made a quick decision, used up his last substitution, and allowed his team to shrink their defence and delay the game as much as possible, Italy managed to break through Ricardo's goal in the 115th minute.

De Rossi, who came on as a substitute for Perrotta in the second half, struck a cold arrow from 30 yards out and fired a powerful long-range shot that caught the Portuguese off guard. Although Ricardo reacted quickly and punched the ball out, Diego Milito was ahead of everyone at this time and appeared at the point where the ball landed and scored an empty goal, rewriting the score to 2-1!

With only five minutes to go, Milito's goal was almost a death sentence for the hosts. With the defensive ability of the Italian players, no one believed that Portugal, who had always been clumsy in scoring goals, had the ability to equalise before the end of the game.

However, just when it was thought that Italy had won the game, Ronaldo once again stepped up to save Portugal. In the final minute before the end of the game, the young Portuguese teenager used a series of dazzling dribbling moves to break through the defence of Camoranesi, De Rossi and Panucci in succession, and then cut into the box before Nesta could make up the defense, and the ball hit the far post of the goal and bounced into the goal, 2-2!

Two to two! Portugal unbelievably equalised before the end of the game!

Seeing that Ronaldo helped Portugal equalize with a goal from three people in a row at the last moment, Trapattoni on the sidelines couldn't help but sigh, the old coach now really wants to have a cordial exchange with Heynckes: What are you doing to train Ronaldo so strongly, isn't this causing us trouble?

In this way, when the referee blows the whistle for the end of extra time, the two teams that have been tied 2-2 in 120 minutes will enter a brutal penalty shootout!
