Chapter 220
After losing two consecutive coin guessing matches, Shi Yiming finally won one game this time, and the Chinese team got the first penalty.
Eight players from both sides stood near the center line on both sides of the midfield circle, each standing in a row, shoulders against shoulders, and eyes towards the goal.
The first Chinese team to take the penalty was Li Xudong, who walked out of the queue;
Walking past his teammates and high-fives with them one by one, everyone also gave him simple and enthusiastic encouragement.
Chinese people always like to be good at everything. They can be the first to stand up and play penalty kicks. Li Xudong's strength has been recognized by the head coach.
Li Xudong arranged the football, took a few steps back, and stood still, looking at the referee;
As soon as he heard the whistle, he rushed directly to the penalty spot without any false intentions, and he shot a heavy cannon to the upper right corner;
He firmly believed that he had made great efforts to achieve his goal. Although Bindy judged the right direction, he still couldn't stop the ball from crossing his palm.
Unfortunately, the power came out, but the miracle did not follow. With a duang, the ball hit the post hard and bounced back into the field.
The dark start of the opening once again pushed the situation of the Chinese team to the edge of the cliff. Li Xudong, who had let down the coach's trust, slapped himself twice and walked back helplessly;
The teammates in the queue didn't have much to say, so they just said a few words of comfort and continued to pay attention to the development of the current situation.
Soon, with the Italian team's first penalty, Chigalini deceived Zhao Yue by pretending to make a move and steadily penalize the ball, the Chinese team lags behind the opponent 0:1.
In the second round of penalty, Hao Junming, who had outstanding footwork, stood in front of the penalty spot.
When the coach arranged the situation, he had already imagined that if the penalty was lost in the first round, he would not be able to lose again in the second round, otherwise the situation would be very unfavorable;
Under such considerations, Hao Junming took on the key second baton, but he also failed the head coach's trust;
The ball he kicked to the right was judged accurately by Bindy, and he happened to be snatched by the ball. The ball with a strong palm was inflamed and the fans' hearts suddenly became cold.
The second Italian team made the appearance was Bonucci, who also made an unreasonable shot from the ball. Although Zhao Yue judged the right direction, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net.
After two rounds, Italy has led 2:0.
This also means that if China continues to lose the penalty and Italy scores the penalty, the penalty match will end.
He had already lost two goals in a row, and all the pressure on the whole team had been pressed against Guan Jian, the third penalty.
The teammates were unwilling to put extra pressure on him, so they watched him quietly towards the penalty spot, their eyes full of anticipation.
However, God seemed to be deliberately teasing these Chinese people, and the ball kicked by Guan Jian was also saved by Bindy, who was as helpful as God.
Three free throws and three mistakes. The Chinese team, who played penalty kick for the first time, showed great discomfort. In this regard, their opponents are obviously much older.
The third Italian team took the penalty was Rossi. He calmly adjusted the ball, then took a few steps back, ready to wait for the referee's whistle.
As long as Rossi scores the free throw, this protracted final will come to a perfect end;
Although he did not win the Golden Boot of his dream, he could win the most important championship and it was perfect.
Rossi was about to look up and observe the goalkeeper's position, but suddenly he found that the Chinese goalkeeper had appeared in front of him;
He also used his feet to set the football again, and finally reached out to pat his arm and gave him a thumbs up.
After Zhao Yue's magical operation, he naturally angered Rossi;
Italians have seen too many tricks that goalkeepers play when they are punishing penalty kicks, but this is the first time he has seen this Chinese way of playing;
Europeans all have their own superstitions, and Rossi also has his own habits when playing football.
First, the perspective of football towards oneself must be unified, and second, it does not like someone to touch yourself casually;
Zhao Yue, who violated both taboos, naturally made him furious.
Rossi reached out to the referee to appeal to Zhao Yue to interfere with him. Marionko walked up and gave him a yellow card, signaling him to stand back to the goal line.
Zhao Yue was not annoyed or defended, and retreated with a smile. After returning to the position, he also signaled to the referee that he would loosen his gloves and he had to fix it. After getting the referee's consent, he slowly sorted out some things;
After such a slutty operation, it was obvious that Rossi's mood was affected. After pretending to trick Zhao Yue to the left, the ball pushing to the opposite side hit the post.
In this way, Rossi waved his hand in annoyance, glared at Zhao Yue, who was clenching his fists and walked back cursingly.
After the first three rounds, the Italian team played 2:0, making two free throws, and had an absolute advantage over the Chinese team without any sight;
They already hold two match points in their hands, and as long as they grasp one of the two balls in the future, they can announce the title.
Song Min, the fourth Chinese team, came out and prepared to go forward to serve;
In his opinion, this was simply a journey of death;
As long as he loses like the previous three teammates, his heart is beating wildly when he waits for him;
I looked back at my teammates. Although they didn't say anything, their expectant and panic-looking eyes were full of confusion and fear;
This is the first time he has seen such complex content in everyone's eyes in more than two years of teaming.
Song Min turned around and took a deep breath. The deputy captain's sense of mission made him force himself to calm down;
This time I will never be able to lose. The fragile hearts of my teammates and coaches cannot be ravaged anymore.
After standing still, Song Min looked at Bindy standing opposite him, and when he heard the whistle, he began to run towards the ball;
The inner side of the right foot scratched the middle and lower part of the ball, and the route was pushed out was fast and low, and it flew straight towards the left pillar;
Although Bindy judged the right direction, she was still far from reaching Song Min's high-quality shot that was rubbing against the post.
After four rounds, the Chinese team finally scored a penalty, and the penalty score became 1:2, barely allowing the team to stop the decline on the edge of the cliff.
Italy's fourth appearance was Aquafresca. As the team's regular center forward, shooting is his strength, and the team is likely to be able to secure the victory with him.
Zhao Yue, who had played a psychological warfare, successfully angered the Italians, but also paid the price of a yellow card. In the future, he could only stay where he was honest and dared not play other tricks;
Looking at Zhao Yue who became serious, his teammates were a little uncomfortable, and his opponents were also a little uncomfortable.
Aquafresca was also indignant for his teammate Rossi, and was actually fooled by Zhao Yue like this. He was determined to vent his anger for his teammates and decided to do something different;
So he kicked a spoon out, thinking that Zhao Yue, who was quick to react, would be fooled;
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yue did not completely shake it, quickly closed back from the action of pounced to the right, pounced on the left, and accurately put the slowly falling ball into his palms in front of the goal line.
Aquafresca, who had no choice but to steal the chicken, could only shake his head helplessly, smiled awkwardly, and slowly walked back into the team.
After the first four rounds of battle, the two sides fought 2:1, with a total score of 5:4, and the Italian team was in the lead.
The next fifth round became an important watershed, and the situation also changed subtly.
The Chinese team that takes the penalty must first enter the penalty, otherwise the game will end;
Even if the Chinese team makes a penalty, if the Italian team makes a penalty, the game will also end.
The only way for the Chinese team to escape is that when they get in, their opponents must be lost.
This is not an easy task, but at least there is still a glimmer of hope.
Shi Yiming stood up, and there seemed to be God's will in the dark. The chance to have a ball at the last moment of overtime was placed in front of him. As the captain, he gave the opportunity to Guan Jian, which proved his wisdom afterwards;
Now, the same method was placed in front of him again, but there was no chance of giving in. He had to take action by himself. Shi Yiming walked out of the team generously without any hesitation.
Shi Yiming calmly hugged the other six teammates, and everyone simply said "Come on" in his ear;
Long Tian was the last one in the team. When it was his turn to hug him, he said excitedly: "Captain, win by surprise, come on!"
He was indeed a very obedient young man. He also told the captain the insights that Zhao Yue shared with him.
Shi Yiming looked at him and asked with a smile: "Long Tian, do you want to go up and kick?"
Long Tian thought he was going to change his mind again, so he sighed: "Yeah, can someone change someone at such a moment?"
Yang Zijiang, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "The Shi team is saying that you will get a chance to play, but it is not that you will push you up now!"
Long Tianying, who reacted, said, "I want to go up and kick these Italians to death!"
"Then give me another big hug, it must be as you wish." Shi Yiming opened his arms again generously.
Long Tian gave him a bear hug, exerting greater strength than the hug just now.
After slowly walking to the penalty spot and setting the football, Shi Yiming stepped back and was savoring Long Tian's words just now: "A surprise win, hum, it's interesting."
Bindy looked at Shi Yiming coldly. Although the Chinese captain was not tall, he was very solid;
Judging from previous performance, this Chinese defender has a strong sense of defense, solid basic skills, and strong psychological quality;
He is focused on defense and has a bit of a traditional Italian defender, so he should be a tough guy;
Bindy couldn't help but put away her contempt and watched Shi Yiming's every move seriously.
The whistle sounded, and Shi Yiming took a deep breath and helped the football run;
The left toe and right arch clearly pointed to the right side of the goal, causing Bindy, who made the advance judgment, to pounce to the right;
Unexpectedly, the moment he touched the ball, his right foot turned slightly outward, and the ball's flight route immediately changed;
Unexpectedly, Bindy could only watch the ball rolling into the goal from the middle.
The Chinese team, who had played five rounds of penalty kicks first, tied the score to 2:2, but there was no way to say that they were returning to the same starting line;
Because the Italian team's last free throw has not started yet, once the free throw is made, it will really become the last free throw for the whole game.
Chapter completed!
