Chapter 222: The End of the World(1/2)
In recent international competitions, the penalty shootout will generally be decided in the first five rounds of the prescribed penalty;
It is indeed rare to see if there is no distinction between the punishment until the eighth round;
The audience was also as if they were being teased. Some of them were obviously about to explode, but they were still reluctant to get up to make it convenient;
Because they are afraid that once they leave, they will miss the most exciting moment and cannot witness the real scene of the championship suspense being revealed at the first time.
If they understand that this showdown eventually turned into a record-breaking moment, they would definitely regret this decision.
Starting from the ninth round, we will re-enter a new cycle, and the players on both sides will also seem to have agreed in advance;
When China concedes the ball, Italy does not score; when China scores the ball, Italy does not lose it, and it is tacitly aware of it as if it is playing a counterfeit ball.

After two rounds, they were fined 16 rounds, but the two sides tied 9:9, and the tragic situation remained.
Marionko was exhausted when he blew the whistle. This was the first time he had seen such a protracted situation like this. He was a little helpless, but he could only continue to move forward;
Because FIFA's regulations on penalty kicks are to be played until the winner is decided, even if it has to be played for a hundred rounds.
The game started the third lap of free throws, and both the players and the audience hoped that this time the endless battle could end.
17, Li Xudong×, Chigalini×;
18, Hao Junming×, Bonuchi×;

24, Long Tian○, Ranokia○.
After three laps, the two sides had already fought to 13:13, but there was still no ending momentum;
Both sides have vomited, which is an unprecedented scene.
He was sweating all over his body, and he felt that his whole body was hollowed out, so Marienko seemed a little unsustainable;
Seeing that the players on both sides showed symptoms of discomfort, he also gave the players one minute of hydration time humanely, which really led to a new level of penalty kick.
After a brief break, the free throw in the fourth lap continued.
25, Li Xudong ○, Chigalini ○;
26, Hao Junming ○, Bonuchi ○;
27, Guan Jian×, Luo Xi×;
28, Song Min×, Aqua Fresca×;
29, Shi Yiming×, Candreva×;
30, Yang Zijiang ○, Qiao Wenke ○;
31, Zhao Yue×, Marchisio×;
32, Long Tian○, Ranokia○.
This protracted battle still did not stop, and the fifth circle began soon.
When Li Xudong lost the ball again, no one in the game took it seriously, thinking that this meant that Chigalini, who appeared on the field, would also lose the penalty;
I have watched more than thirty rounds of free throws, and the fans are even familiar with the order of the players on both sides.
Just when the whole game thought the Italian would not score, Chigalini withstood the huge pressure, deceived Zhao Yue, and firmly kicked the ball into the middle;
This time, Zhao Yue was no longer magical and could not let the war continue;
The ball scored, and the penalty score was frozen at 18:17. Italy defeated China with a total score of 21:20 and won the championship of the 2007 Spanish World Youth Championship.
After the whistle sounded, after a brief silence of the court, a huge shout erupted;
Not only celebrate this rare champion, but also celebrate the end of this protracted "world war".
The 33-round penalty shootout battle surpassed the 32-round European U22 Championships that were just released in June this year, and became the new national team penalty record;
This surpassing is also all-round. Not only does it exceed the number of rounds, but it even scores more goals than the 13:12 in the Netherlands and England;
After learning about the news, the Guinness World Records certified officer also set off for Madrid at the first time.
This final was a lot of rewards, and record-breaking is not only reflected in the results:
Italy has participated in the finals for the first time and is also the 8th champion in the history of the World Youth Championship;
China also advanced to the finals for the first time, although it failed, it lost the championship at the last moment;
But they also surpassed South Korea with their own efforts and became the third Asian country to win the runner-up of the World Youth Championship after Qatar and Japan.
What is even more commendable is that China is the only country outside of European and American powers to win the two key lists of World Youth Championship scorers and assists;
Looking back at the past 30 years of competition history, African traditional powers such as Nigeria and Ghana are not good, and Asian powerhouses such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Japan are also unable to do so;
As for whether there will be latecomers, especially those in countries like China that have developed underdeveloped football, we can only leave time to verify it.
Finally, the champion was won, and the Italians began to celebrate frantically;
Just like the scene after the penalty kick was decided, the game was unanimously poured towards Chigalini who broke the deadlock.
Several companies were happy and sad. Looking at the celebrating opponents, Chinese players felt pain and discomfort. The ending was too cruel. For a moment, they could not accept it;
They also stood up even though they worked harder than their opponents and suffered great unfair treatment;
I originally thought I was a baby that God had mercy on, but I never thought that I would become an abandoned baby in the end.
Whether they were paralyzed, lying, lying, standing, or kneeling, the Chinese players had different movements, and their faces were full of regret, sadness, and sad expressions. Some people even burst into tears.
Long Tian stood tenaciously, holding his proud head high, trying hard to hold back his tears. In his opinion, he did not lose, and this game had already reached the extreme;
In the 120-minute game, he sent two crucial assists to help Ma Kang score two goals and top the scorer's list;
He won the penalty kick of the tied opponent without hesitation, creating conditions for the team to persevere until the end. Even if he was not good at shooting, he lost only once after four penaltys;
Long Tian has done everything he can do and cannot do, but his team still lost.
They did not lose to their opponents, but to a huge pair of palms, the vicious palms that once wanted to strangle them to death.
Long Tian didn't want to see his opponent's random celebration, nor did he dare to go forward to comfort his friend Zhao Yue, who was kneeling beside the doorpost and cried heartbrokenly. He was afraid of being infected by his emotions, so he finally hugged him into a burst of pain;
He chose to turn around silently, wanting to hide in a far corner and never look at these tear-jerking things again.
However, when he turned around, he saw Wang Peng, an assistant coach who came to comfort the player, Long Tian was like an aggrieved child who suddenly saw his parents, and could no longer hold back the tears of sadness and burst into tears.
Wang Peng's eyes were also red, trying his best to hold back the tears from swelling out of his eyes, hugging Long Tian with heartache and comforting him.
More than a thousand Chinese fans in the audience also shed tears of sadness, but they still did not forget to shake the flagpole in their hands strongly, and the huge red flag was also trying hard to spread.
Tens of thousands of other local audiences also echoed applause, applauding for the two teams to devote such a shocking game;
During the game, they really hate such a difficult Chinese team, but after the game, especially when the champion stayed in Europe, they were finally able to let go of their prejudices and cheer for this group of tenacious Chinese people.
Fans have borders, but football should not have borders. The value and spiritual wealth it has should be shared by all mankind.
It is indeed regrettable that the Chinese team did not win the championship, but in addition, they have won the respect of their opponents and audiences;
The Chinese people's unyielding spirit is shown on the world stage, and this is a more important wealth than the champion.
Chinese football is still very backward. Just like the new China during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, he did it even though he knew it was impossible, and he also fought a beautiful turnaround, established his power in the international field, and won a good opportunity for decades of peaceful development;
I also hope that this unforgettable experience in the runner-up of the World Youth Championship will play the same role and become the most milestone competition in the rise of Chinese football.
After the players of both sides calmed down, they had friendly exchanges with each other. Outside the game, these young people of the same age have common hobbies and should be good friends.
Several Italian players wanted to come over and exchange jerseys with Longtian, but in the end Rossi had the upper hand;
He exchanged his No. 10 white shirt for Long Tian's No. 2 red shirt. Although he couldn't speak, his mutual appreciation still left the two with intimate photos.
After the noise, the award ceremony was held.
The players and coaches of the runner-up Chinese team went on stage to receive medals, and also awarded the Golden Boot Trophy for the Best Scorer. Ma Kang went up and received the award, and he was in a pretty good mood;
The Golden Globe Award was finally awarded to Rossi of the champion team, and this move was suspected of finding a balance;
But on the land of Europe, no matter how disdainful people in their hearts can only choose to accept it;
