Chapter Forty-Nine: Champion!

In the end, Italy and Argentina played to a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes, and after a short break, the two teams will go into extra-time. The battle for the championship and runner-up of the 94 World Cup just passed was to kick the final penalty shootout, but I didn't expect that the two teams in the French World Cup 4 years later did not distinguish the winner in regular time. The difference is that this World Cup began to include the Golden Ball Winner, that is, sudden death, and the winner who scored first in extra time was the winner.

The Golden Ball winning method began at the 1993 World Youth Championships, and it was the Euro 96 final between Germany and the Czech Republic that really made the Golden Ball win the world, with substitute Bierhoff equalising and then scoring a golden goal in the fifth minute of extra time to help the old German win the European Championship.

By the way, when it comes to the 96 Euro Cup, I have to say that Lao Germany defeated Boban 8 into 4 at that time, and Croatia led by Suker was able to let Croatia play 3 after 98 with a sentence of "old German chariot"? No, anyway, as a fan of Lao Germany since the beginning of the 90s, we admit that the game is lost, and Kopke's two low-level mistakes are also Lao De's own business, we are not like the fans of the Liverpool team from Ukraine, who lost the game and said "If Real Madrid has Courtois". Ha ha.

Everyone's opinion on the Golden Ball win is different, some people feel that the sudden death method increases the excitement and watchability of the game, and some people think that the Golden Ball win actually reduces the intensity of the game, after all, the championship is in front of you, and no one wants to lose the whole game because of a mistake, so the team will basically play more safely in this situation.

However, extra-time did not have a great impact on Italy, after all, this is the legendary king of extra-time. In fact, I personally think that Italy's defense is stronger first, so the pressure on the Italians will be relatively less in a one-goal situation, after all, our defense is the best in the world. Secondly, the Azzurri will also be better in terms of physical reserves, in terms of offensive methods, Italy, as a counter-attacking team, mostly tears the defense from the opponent's ribs in the game, and the wide players go straight up and down to assist and retreat relatively less. In this way, it will naturally occupy a little advantage in overtime.

Just 6 minutes into extra time, an Argentine fan was taken away by an ambulance. The Italian team attacked in front, Maldini on the left side rarely stepped forward to the side of the Argentine penalty area, and found that there was no chance to break through and cross, after Mapao decisively passed the ball through his own Piero to the feet of Albertini in the back, the latter did not stop the ball and suddenly went straight from between Redondo and Simeone to find Vieri in front of the penalty area, BOBO turned his back to the goal to the left side and found that there was no chance to break through, and passed back to Baggio behind him, Italy's savior received the ball and fired an accurate through ball from behind Chamotte, who was close to Vieri, into the far end of the box, and Piero slapped it on!

The Zebra Prince takes a step forward and shoots into the far corner! Roa saves and doesn't touch the ball! Lao Huang in the commentary seat has already left his seat and is ready to celebrate!

With a "mouth", Piero's shot hit the outside of the post and bounced off the bottom line. Huang Jianxiang sat back again. Alas, this ball is also a pity! Waste of feelings!!

Then, within two minutes, people saw an ambulance drive into the stadium from the emergency passage, and it is said that an Argentine uncle did not fall up in one breath, and was directly taken away as a big party. You see, the gold ball system was later changed to the silver ball system, maybe it was because it was too exciting?

Seeing that the Italian team slowly took the initiative on the field in extra time, Argentine fans were anxious! In the 12th minute of the first half of extra time, the Italian team made a comeback, replacing Pesotho Torricelli with a cross from the right, Vieri jumped high in the penalty area and hit the goal with a head! Moments later, Vieri found himself lonely as the ball was knocked out of the box by Roa with a single fist from a palm's throw from a palm's throw on his head. Argentine fans are relieved!

It was Simeone who received the ball outside the penalty area, how dare Brother Rough control the ball himself in this situation! When he was about to clear the ball, he suddenly saw the old horse asking for the ball on the right side in front of him, Simeone passed a low flat ball, Albertini and Isco stepped forward to attack, but Maradona missed his feet, and the ball rolled between the three to Veron on the right side.

Without waiting for Albertini to turn around and force Veron, the young wizard had already passed the ball towards the route that Maradona had inserted forward, and the old horse did not wait for Dino Baggio to grab the ball after receiving the ball, and passed it directly to the feet of Gallardo on the left. The latter was unguarded outside the Italian penalty area, and Torricelli didn't have time to return to the defense!

Cannavaro saved, Gallardo didn't stick to the ball, and Crespo in the middle passed. Nesta and Crespo jumped up at the same time in the Italian penalty area, only for Nesta's scalp to rub and the ball accelerated towards the back post.

Just when the Italians thought the ball would fall at the feet of Maldini on the sideline of the penalty area, Argentina's Redondo ran up at some point, met the ball with his right foot, and the ball went to the far corner!

To say that Pagliuca has a chance to save this goal, it is not very difficult, but I didn't expect Redondo's shot to be extremely low, and the position in front of Pagliuca has dropped to the lowest point two meters. In layman's terms, it's a bouncing shot! Pagliuca watched the ball bounce off the ground in front of her, and then flew away, unable to do anything!

With a whistle of "beep", the whole Argentine team rushed towards Redondo! The Argentine fans in the stadium were boiling! Samsung Argentina! After Germany and Italy, Argentina became the third team in the world to win the World Cup 3 times! Congratulations to the Pampas Eagles!

In contrast to the frenzied celebrations are the lonely blue figures of Italy, and this time even the savior Baggio can't do anything about it. At this moment, Baggio in the camera is standing next to Piero and comforting each other. Yes, if Piero's shot had been rotated inward by 3 centimeters, it would have been the Italian who had lifted the trophy at the moment! It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world.

Next, the new FIFA Bamboo Siblatt and the official organizing committee of the French World Cup, Zhu Xi Platini, presented the Hercules Cup and medals to the Argentine team.

The Stade de France was lit up in blue and white, and the Vamos! Vamos! Age

ti

a!" resounded in the sky, and the first World Cup after Li Byrne's rebirth officially came to an end.

(This song is serious about Argentina's impact on the championship team song during the World Cup in France, although I am not an Argentine fan, although I always laugh at Argentina as my ATM, but this song is really good, and it is also suitable for the occasion here, it is a small gift for Argentine fans!)

Lyrics attached:

Come on, come on Argentina

Come on, come on Argentina

Everything is already boiling

Don't stop

Don't stop moving forward

Come on, come on Argentina

I gave you all my heart

In the 98 World Cup

We will

We will be great champions

The team has come to the pitch

The race has begun

Every time the Argentine team scores

It caused a shock on the field

For this national honor

We need to be enthusiastic

Together

Bear down

Come on, come on Argentina

Come on, come on Argentina

Everything is already boiling

Don't stop

Don't stop moving forward

Come on, come on Argentina
