Chapter 268: Glory Belongs to China
"Messi missed the penalty, Zeng Cheng's judgment was quite accurate, like the first penalty, Messi still chose the lower right corner, but I didn't expect Zeng Cheng to choose this direction again, Messi knelt, he was paying off the debt for the penalty just now!"
"The Chinese team now occupies the initiative!"
Huang Jianxiang shouted in a hoarse voice; "Now, it's Gao Lin's turn to appear. οΌ
"If Gao Lin can score this goal, the pressure on Argentina will be great."
Gao Lin licked his lips, his steps were a little hurried, it could be seen that his mentality was anxious, and at this time, people who could be as calm as Dong Fangzhuo almost did not exist.
The Argentine goalkeeper was still waving his arms in front of goal, trying to interfere with Gao Lin's shot.
Gao Lin didn't want to suffer at the penalty spot for a moment, and he withdrew from the big penalty area line to run.
When the referee's whistle blew, he immediately rushed to the ball without even looking at the goal.
It was the safest way he thought he could do and he didn't want to be disturbed by the goalkeeper!
Whew-
He pulled out the ball vigorously and flew into the stands.
"This ......"
"Alas, so nervous!"
"Gao Lin was under too much pressure, and he couldn't release the pressure on himself."
In the stands, the Chinese fans were silent, but no one opened their mouths to scold Gao Lin......
Gao Lin was already crying the moment he missed the penalty......
He doesn't want to, he wants to score goals too!
Dong Fangzhuo stepped forward and hugged him silently for the first time.
However, the Argentine side was cheering, and they were too excited to miss Gao Lin's penalty, which meant that if Biglia, who came out in second appearance, could score a penalty, they could recover the disadvantage.
Thirty seconds later, their dream came true when Biglia calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.
The two sides returned to the same running line 1:1.
"What happens at the penalty spot, we can never predict...... The next appearance of the Chinese team is Zhao Xuri. Zhao Xuri has a big heart, and his grasp should be higher. β
Zhao Xuri took a deep breath, took a very rhythmic step, and halfway through the run, he also deliberately paused for half a second, and then rushed forward to shoot, and the goalkeeper pounced in the opposite direction.
"Beautiful! 2οΌοΌοΌ The Chinese team took the lead again. β
"It is said that Zhao Xuri is a good child, and in this kind of big scene, he is very stable."
"Argentina's third appearance was Oyerman."
As a result, Oyerman also shot the ball in, and the score equalized again.
"The score is 2:2!"
"Chen Tao's fourth appearance!"
"Chen Tao, who fought to cramps in this game, is still standing here, and he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the fourth penalty kick of the Chinese team."
Chen Tao stood in front of the penalty kick and deliberately flipped the ball twice. This subtle movement made him look like he wasn't that nervous. If you're too nervous, you may not even be able to play the ball!
He took four steps back.
When he ran and shot, his body leaned very low to the left, and it seemed that he was going to shoot to the left, but the goalkeeper didn't believe it and thought that Chen Tao was deliberately confusing him, so he pounced on the right.
Whoosh β
The ball kicked out by Chen Tao was a spoon!
A spoon in the middle!
"Ah, spoon, the ball is in!"
"He was so bold that he dared to kick a spoon penalty! Is he paying tribute to Dong Fangzhuo? Dong Fangzhuo also scored a spoon penalty in England, but dared to kick a spoon in the semi-finals of the World Youth Championships, Chen Tao, you are too bold! β
"Chen Tao, he is destined to become a star in the future!"
Oh, Dong Fangzhuo shrugged his shoulders and was frightened by Chen Tao, he didn't think about kicking the spoon at all just now, in such a game, he just wanted to inject passion and strength into the team with a thunderous goal. He had to admire Chen Tao......
You know, if this ball is saved, it is estimated that he will be scolded after the game, and at a critical time, he will definitely be sprayed to death if he shows off such footwork. But now success is different.
Argentina's fourth appearance was Barroso. Zeng Cheng also followed the example of the Argentine goalkeeper, constantly slapping his arms, but Barroso's psychological quality is obviously also very strong, and he actually played the upper corner! It's an offbeat!
The score is 3:3, and the two sides still have no winner!
The mission was left on Zhou Haibin's body, and it was said that this general had the most calm bearing, and he was the finale.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Haibin's body.
Zhou Haibin wiped a handful of sweat, no matter how calm his bearing, he would actually carry huge pressure at this time.
Being able to nod and take the mission of the fifth penalty is the most courageous performance in itself, not everyone dares to do it, but Zhou Haibin took it, and his performance in this World Youth Championship is not so highlight, but he is one of the players who has played all the time so far.
call
call
call
He took three breaths in a row before finally sprinting towards the ball.
He chose the bottom left corner of the goal and the goalkeeper pounced in the right direction.
"Ahh
"Dingβ"
The ball grabs the post!
He's chasing the ball too much......
The result of too much pursuit of angles is the result of this nightmare.
Zhou Haibin covered his face on the spot, and no longer looked at the world at all.
Why is this happening!
At that moment, his heart was almost torn, and he felt that he couldn't face his teammates and the fans all over China.
When he walked back to the center line weakly, Dong Fangzhuo supported him, and Zhou Haibin was already bitter with tears in his eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Just a penalty."
"Alas, Xiao Zhou, ......"
"This ball, it's just a little bit worse, he didn't play abnormally, he just pursued the angle too much, how to say it's good, the luck is a little bit worse. It doesn't matter, we still have a chance, as long as Paleta can't shoot in, we're all draws......"
Huang Jianxiang can only say this to comfort the fans and friends in front of the TV.
A minute later......
Airplanes......
That year, June 28, 2005,
They were so close to the World Junior Championship final, they did everything they could, but they still stopped in the semi-finals and didn't make it to the final.
Victory, stolen by the Argentines.
But they didn't fail, they just lost to the referee, they lost to Messi's empty penalty, and they lost to themselves.
If, Messi doesn't fake falling,
If, Dong Fangzhuo's goal is not canceled,
If their physical fitness can be a little better,
If, Zhou Haibin's goal scored,
There are no ifs in this world and the same is true for football.
On that day, hundreds of millions of Chinese fans cried with them.
That day was the deepest memory of their youth, and tears watered everything.
It was also from that day that they began to grow again.
Football, for them, is just the beginning, not the end!
"Although we lost the penalty, the glory belongs to China! And the shame of victory, left to Argentina and Messi! β
