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.

"Toldo! Francisco Toldo! The Fiorentina goalkeeper has made a contribution! He saved Frank de Boer's penalty off the line! Once again, the Italians escaped the fate of a goal-conceded goal! The commentator's voice came from the television, and there was an uncanny flavor in his words, "I have to say that Toldo's judgment and reaction were really good, and he made the right judgment and acted on Frank de Boer the moment he shot the ball." Of course, it can also be said that De Boer himself was too careless, and when he took the penalty, he didn't even do a little feint and shot out so straightforwardly, and he deserved to be saved by Toldo. ”

Seeing that his penalty kick would be saved by the opponent, Frank de Boer stood on the penalty spot with his hands on his waist and looked at Toldo with a depressed face, thinking that the opponent could save the ball so fast, the Italian goalkeeper's reflex nerve is inevitably too perverted, right?

If Toldo had known what De Boer was thinking at this time, he would have laughed at the other party's fuss: I have to face Ronaldo, Shevchenko, Inzaghi, the top scorers in the team, and Pirlo and Effenberg, a bunch of penalty shooters. At the very least, let's change Bergkamp!

Oh, by the way, this Dutch softball wouldn't dare take a penalty. (Note: In the 98-99 season, Bergkamp missed a crucial penalty in the FA Cup, leading United to the Treble, and the Ice Prince never stepped on the 12-yard penalty again, and also fell into a reputation for not being able to do it psychologically.) ）

Although all the Italian fans present were cheering for Toldo's wonderful performance, what everyone didn't expect was that this penalty was just the beginning of Toldo's crazy performance in this game!

De Boer's penalty miss did not cause much damage to the morale of the Dutch players, after all, since ancient times, the Netherlands has not been a good player in penalty kicks, and even a superstar like Van Basten has a record of missing shots, and it is normal for De Boer to miss one. Moreover, the Netherlands internationals, who are confident in their own abilities, are confident that they will be able to create more scoring opportunities in the coming period.

Shortly after, Bergkamp whipped in a corner and Nesta made up for it, clearing the ball out of the box with a beautiful barb before Kluivert's shot. Cocu was just about to reorganize the attack after getting the clearance from outside the box, but was knocked to the ground by the quick-eyed Di Biagio, and the Dutch team took a set-piece in front.

Although Bergkamp tried to break the deadlock with the free-kick, his ball hit the wall and Materazzi scrambled to clear the ball first!

Vieri, who was cruising around the centre circle of the pitch, cleared the ball to break through, but then his shot was distracted by a hot Stam, grazing the tip of Van der Sar's glove and deflecting off the far post.

Vieri's counter-attack scared the Dutch into a cold sweat, and it was only then that they realized that Italy's defensive counter-attack was not a joke, even if they retreated to the iron bucket formation and put a Vieri in front of the front.

You must know that in today's international football, the two most capable forwards are Ronaldo, an alien, and Vieri!

Therefore, in the following time, the Dutch players were more careful in attacking, especially several defenders in the backline, and even glanced at Vieri's position from time to time, for fear of being quickly counterattacked by the opponent.

Of course, despite the increased concentration of the defensive end, the Dutch attack has not slackened, and for them who regard the attack as their life, it is more uncomfortable to let them compete with Italy in defense.

In the 42nd minute, Overmars received a through ball from Davies and burst into the penalty area, but unfortunately under Maldini's close defense, the Dutch winger's shot finally kicked into the arms of the attacking Toldo.

It's not that Overmars is too lonely to play the ball and doesn't know that it is the right thing to do to get the attention of the opposing goalkeeper and distribute the ball to his teammate in the middle. Rather, it was because Italy's defensive work was so good that Kluivert and Bergkamp, who were going to follow up, both collided with Nesta and Di Biagio, who deliberately blocked their way, and they had no chance to meet Ovimas when they were blocked outside the box.

Although Ovemas has scored a lot of goals in his career, most of them are solo goals after relying on speed to break through, and he is not a good scorer in essence, so it is inevitable that he will miss the ball when there are wolves (Toldo) in front of him and tigers (Maldini) in the back, and there are no teammates around to receive them.

The discouraged Dutch players launched two more attacks in the final minutes before the end of the first half, but these two attacks were disrupted by Cannavaro and Nesta without even requiring Toldo himself, and did not pose any threat to the Italian goal.

And just like that, when the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the score was 0-0 and the two sides were tied for 45 minutes.

"I really didn't expect Toldo's watch to be so good." Looking at Toldo, who was surrounded by Italian players and walking towards the players' tunnel, Karin said softly, "Tony, it seems that we can sell Toldo for a good price before the European Championship is over." ”

Zhuang Mingge nodded, agreeing with Karin's words. Toldo's performance in the first half was indeed excellent, in addition to saving a penalty from De Boer, he also blocked the shots of Dutch players on several occasions in the game, and it was arguably the biggest contributor to Italy's lack of a goal so far.

To put it mildly, even if Buffon, the man who guarded the Italian gates tonight, could not have done better than Toldo.

"It's a pity that if Toldo's usual desire to win is half as good as it is today, and the game can be more stable, then we don't have to think about bringing in Gianluigi Buffon from Parma to take over his shift." Zhuang Mingge said and sighed, Toldo was the first batch of players he introduced after he became the owner of Florence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his descendant troops. Now, Toldo, who has made great contributions to the rise of Fiorentina, has to choose to transfer away from Fiorentina because of the fading fighting spirit and unstable competitive state, which is really embarrassing for him.
