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.

Pelé, who was stunned by the shape on the field, did not mention it for the time being, after witnessing Kluivert's incredible missed the Netherlands' second penalty of the game, all the fans who followed this semi-final were also stunned by the Dutch's strange penalty luck!

While it's not uncommon for a team to take more penalties in the same match (in the Copa America's '99, Argentina striker Palermo scored a hat-trick against Colombia and Argentina lost 3-0, making Palermo a laughing stock in international football), but that match was just a group stage of the Copa America, and its importance and attention were not at all comparable to the semi-finals of the European Championship!

In other words, no matter whether the Netherlands win or lose this game, they will be recorded in the history of the European Championship as a less glorious character who missed two penalties in succession!

"Whew...... It scared the hell out of me. At the same time, Zhuang Mingge, who was watching the game in the box, covered his chest with his hands, and he was also scared just now. After all, according to his memory, Toldo in his previous life should have judged the wrong direction when he saved the penalty. What he didn't expect was that history had changed at this moment: in the face of Kluivert's penalty, Toldo, who should have guessed the wrong direction, actually made the right judgment!

It is precisely because of this that Zhuang Mingge, who was originally very confident about this game, became so worried, he was really afraid that this small change would change the fate of the two teams of Italy and the Netherlands. For example, Kluivert's penalty hit the post and bounced back into the box, but it hit the back of the fallen Toldo and bounced back into the net......

If the butterfly effect caused by Zhuang Mingge's crossing had played such an effect just now, I am afraid that he would have regretted the unexpected increase in the level of Toldo's penalty kick skills.

If Zhuang Mingge is the most frightened of Italy's supporters, then at this moment, the most depressed person in the Dutch team is Kluivert. The Dutch centre-forward, who also scored a hat-trick in the last game against Yugoslavia, looked at Toldo, who was dancing in front of the goal to celebrate not conceding a goal, vaguely recalling the two unreminiscent seasons when he played for AC Milan, and recalled the horror of the Fiorentina team!

At that time, he was on the same level as Ronaldo in European football, and he landed in the Apennines at about the same time as the aliens, but the two who were widely expected to become a generation of football superstars have walked out of two completely different trajectories on this peninsula!

Ronaldo won the title of alien with his strength on all fronts and a string of championship honors, and was crowned Mr. Double, becoming the top of the pyramid early; However, Kluivert started high and low after joining AC Milan, and degenerated from the new Basten to the Dutch parallel commodity in the mouth of fans, and he only took two years!

In particular, in the final year of AC Milan, due to the well-known feud between Fiorentina and manager Sacchi, the Rossoneri conceded a net of 14 goals and failed to score a single goal in their two league games against the Purple Lily. Kluivert, who was the hope of the Rossoneri at the time, not only did not perform well in the two legs, but was also embroiled in various scandals and negative news off the field, and was finally dealt with by AC Milan, who lost patience, to Barcelona at a low price.

It is precisely because of the unbearable two years in Serie A that Kluivert has some psychological shadows in his heart for the group of players in Fiorentina.

Although Kluivert's excellent performances at Barcelona in the past two years have allowed Kluivert to regain a lot of confidence, with him missing the penalty in front of Toldo, the Dutch centre-forward's fear of Fiorentina players has once again been seduced!

It is clear that Kluivert, immersed in the memories, forgot a very important point. That is, the opponent in front of him now is the Italian national team, not the Fiorentina team that blocks the gods and kills the Buddha!

It has to be said that the impact of missing two penalties in a row on the Dutch players is huge. In the ensuing period, although the orange still dominated the possession and the field, those who were careful could see that the Dutch players were somewhat absent-minded and hesitant in their offensive during this time. Kluivert, who has an advantage in speed and explosiveness, even had a lack of confidence in the heads-up with Nesta, not only did not choose to use speed to eat the opponent, but chose to pass the ball to Ovimas, who was separated by Materazzi and Maldini!

Unsurprisingly, the ball was intercepted by Maldini in the middle of the game and cleared out of the box, without even touching the skin of the ball in the process.

Seeing the players behaving in such a muddle, Rijkaard on the sidelines couldn't sit still, and he didn't dare to bet on extra-time with a sudden death and a penalty shoot-out that would be even more unfavorable to his side. So, after several roars did not work, the Black Swan had to choose to make substitutions, replacing the physically exhausted Cendon with Van Watson and Seedorf and the Ice Prince Bergkamp, who had a slight sparkle under the care of Di Biagio and others, in order to revive morale.

Although Rijkaard's idea was good, and the introduction of Van Watsen and Seedorf did make the Orange look a little more dynamic in the subsequent period, but with the elder Maldini sending on Di Livio and Antonio Conte in a-for-tat manner, replacing Albertini and Fiore, choosing to sacrifice the midfield control to further strengthen the defense, Rijkaard's change of tactics naturally became useless.

After all, unlike teams that rely purely on piling up numbers in the box to create the effect of a bucket formation, Italy's bucket formation is more advanced and artistic. Instead of gathering in the penalty area to act as human shields, the players involved in the defense methodically perform their duties in their respective demarcated defensive areas, while constantly running on the field, forming a numerical advantage in the local area to form a more pressing defense against the Dutch ball holders, so as to disrupt the opponent's attack, and if you are lucky, you can even play a quick counterattack!

In the face of the extremely fluid pressing defense of the Italian players, the unprepared Dutch players couldn't help but be a little confused, and the attack also changed from the previous combination of wide breakthroughs and short passes to blindly shooting from outside the penalty area, as if this could break through Italy's airtight defense.

In the end, when Seedorf's cold shot from outside the penalty area was firmly in Toldo's arms, referee Merck blew the whistle for the end of the game, marking that this semi-final will enter the one-goal winner-winning overtime stage!
