After entering the extra-time stage, although the game on the field was still very intense, whether it was the Brazilian or German players, it was inevitable that they showed a trace of fatigue at this time. After all, the schedule of the World Cup itself is very tight, especially when this World Cup is still nearly half a month earlier than in the past, the players' physical fitness and spirit have reached a limit before the final, and there is an extra time game at this time, which is undoubtedly an extremely painful torture for the players.

You know, even Carlos and Cafu, who are known for their abundance of bodies, have begun to pant and puff on the court, not to mention the others. In fact, if Ronaldo hadn't been out for nearly half a season due to injury and accumulated a lot of body, the alien would have become the first player in the Brazilian team to be unable to run on the field at this moment.

The German side can barely hold on, after all, German players have always been known for their excellent running ability, like Mateus back then even claimed to have the physical fitness of a marathon runner, even if Ballack is inferior, but it is not a problem to hold on for another 30 minutes.

Therefore, at this point in the game, it has completely become a competition of willpower between the players on both sides, as long as one side can't hold on first, then they will be torn to pieces by the opponent immediately!

Seeing that the players were already showing signs of fatigue, and that the leading scorer Ronaldo had learned from his predecessor Romario, standing in the box waiting for a pass from his team-mates, instead of running around the front in search of opportunities as before, Scolari began to look a little restless. After all, the players on their side have already shown signs of overdraft due to continuous battles, and their advantage on the pitch is no longer as obvious as before, so if Scolari can't think of a countermeasure, then the chance of accidents will increase further, and it is even likely that he will be dragged into a penalty shootout by the Germans!

This is the last thing Scolari wants. After all, the world knows that the Germans' stubborn will to fight is the toughest thing to deal with, especially in extra-time and penalty shoot-outs, where Brazil are really hard to match and it is only a matter of time before they lose their advantage.

In fact, the game will be dragged into extra-time, which is already very much worse than Scolari expected. Big Phil has always thought that with Brazil's obvious technical advantage over the opponent and the strong strength of the 3R combination on the offensive end, it is absolutely possible to get the German team in 90 minutes.

Worrall, meanwhile, was rather calm. After all, after bringing Germany to the World Cup final, the manager's task has been completed ahead of schedule. For him, it is naturally good to win this final, and no one will accuse him of anything even if he loses. As a result, Worrall was significantly calmer than Scolari when it went into extra-time, knowing that the best way to get Germany to beat Brazil was to take the game to a penalty shoot-out and then go to the twelve-yard point!

After all, even if they have a certain physical advantage, Kahn's unstable form tonight and the poor recovery speed of the defenders are still Germany's Achilles' heel.

The Germans grasped Worrall's intentions well, and while they took advantage of their physical advantage and continued to launch attacks under Ballack's organization, further depleting the Brazilian's remaining energy, they carefully controlled the power to attack and avoid being seized by their opponents to play counter-attacks.

As a result, the minutes passed in the confrontation between the players of the two sides, and soon it was time for the end of extra time, the score was still 2-2, and neither team had scored in the past 20 minutes.

However, just when it was thought that the game was going to go to a brutal penalty shootout, Robert Carlos, who had provided an assist in the game, stepped up and the left-back blasted in a direct free-kick of 120 kilometers per hour from 30 yards out at the end of extra-time!

Kahn made no save until Carlos' powerful free-kick flew into goal. Obviously, after the previous low-level mistake of saving the ball, the golden lion king made another misjudgment, and he always thought that Carlos's free-kick shot would fly straight off the line.

Because the overtime of this World Cup still uses the golden ball system, which is the so-called sudden death method, the goal scored by Carlos completely killed the suspense of the game, and the German team that was scored a golden goal did not even have room to turn the tables, so it was extremely regrettable to lose this World Cup final, and the Hercules Cup that was close at hand!

Witnessing the sudden death of the team, Ballack lowered his head and stood silently on the field with his hands on his hips, obviously unable to accept the cruel result of the final defeat lightly. Kahn's eyes were even red, and he couldn't forgive himself for the two fatal mistakes he made in the final, hugging his club team-mate Thomas Link and crying.

However, neither the players on the field nor the German fans in the stands complained about Kahn. The defeat didn't get them away, they knew in their hearts that people make mistakes, even Karn. What's more, Carlos's free kicks have always been known for their strange arc and speed, and it is understandable that Kahn can't prevent it.

Frings, who had been sitting in the stands watching the game, had already walked into the stadium at this time, and after missing the final due to the accumulation of yellow cards, he first comforted several teammates at Bayer Leverkusen, and then walked in the direction of Ballack, he was obviously more concerned about the psychological state of his friend at this time.

At the same time, the Brazilian players, stimulated by the championship trophy, began to celebrate the fifth World Cup in Brazil's history on the pitch, despite the fact that their bodies were almost exhausted!

In this way, thanks to a powerful free-kick from Robert Carlos at the end of extra-time, Brazil managed to beat a stubborn Germany team before the penalty shoot-out and climbed the World Cup podium for the fifth time after a hard-fought battle!
