No. 1087: World Wave, Thrilling Draw Italy!
Buffon miraculously saved Chen Fan's must-score goal from the stadium, which made the Italian fans on the scene very excited, and the Dutch fans had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
In the following time, Buffon showed his magic again and again, blocking high and keeping the Netherlands' dangerous shots in front of the goal again and again.
He is like a god of war in front of the goal!
Italy was greatly encouraged, and the attack also improved greatly, in the 35th minute of the second half, Motta sent a wonderful pass on the right side, Cassano entered the Dutch penalty area, and directly crossed it!
The ball flies towards Balotelli in the middle!
Italy's new striker raises his right foot and pushes it out!
The atmosphere in the stadium was tense to the extreme, because the place where Balotelli shot was less than ten meters from the goal!
In a surprising scene, the football flew up and flew out of the pitch five meters above the beam!
Balotelli let the plane go and wasted Kiga's chance!
The Italian fans held their heads in pain, and the Dutch fans patted their chests in fear, which was too thrilling......
On the pitch, Balotelli looked at the Dutch goal with a blank face, and he didn't know how he hit the plane.
Five minutes later, the Italians were back in the ascendancy, with Andrea Pirlo gracefully dribbling away from the defence and slotting a diagonal cross to the left in front of the box.
Chiellini, the left-back who came up with the assist, flew directly to the goal with a cross ball to the goal, and there was chaos in front of the Dutch goal.
In the confusion, Cassano let out a scream and fell to the turf.
"Tick! ……”
The referee blew a whistle and pointed firmly to the penalty spot with his right hand!
Penalty kick!
Dutch fans were chilling as they looked at the huge electronic display in the stadium, five minutes before the end of the game......
It was a terrible penalty.
The Italian fans roared with joy.
Pirlo stood in front of the penalty spot and gave the Dutch goal with a whistle from the referee!
The ball is in!
The score turned 1-0 and the Italians broke the deadlock just before the end of the game, with the balance of victory tipped in favor of the Italians.
Damn, is it going to be humiliated by the Italians at home today?
After the restart, there was a loud shout from the home fans.
In the face of the Dutchman's ferocious attack, the Italians wisely chose to back down across the board, linking up a solid and wayward line of defence in their own half.
Chain Defense!
The Dutch's attacks were intercepted again and again by these chains.
As time passed, the tense atmosphere in the stadium was suffocating, the Dutch fans became more and more pale, and the Italian fans became more and more excited.
The fourth official stood on the side of the pitch and held up the electronic display - four minutes of stoppage time!
In other words, there were only four minutes left for the Netherlands to equalise.
Van Marwijk was hard to see on his face in the command area, and if this game was lost at the feet of the Italians, the saliva of the media and fans would drown him.
He involuntarily shifted his gaze to Chen Fan.
At this moment, Chen Fan's face was also extremely serious, and he frowned and thought about how to solve the current dilemma.
The Italians defended well, and the Netherlands tried everything they could to tear apart the defence and find a lethal opportunity.
Even if they look for such an opportunity, there is still a god standing in front of the Italian goal - Gianluigi Buffon.
Gianluigi Buffon is a god today, and if it weren't for his magic, the Dutch team would have blasted the Italians in the open.
"Whew! ……”
Chen Fan exhaled a long breath heavily, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
In the second minute of stoppage time, the Dutch attack was once again blocked in front of the opposition penalty area, and Van Persie had no choice but to transfer the ball back.
Sneijder took the ball and passed the ball to the feet of the retreating Chen Fan.
Chen Fan didn't get up immediately after taking the ball, but stopped the football at his feet.
In the eyes of the Italians, as long as Chen Fan does not play his speed, he will not be able to threaten their defensive line.
All of them didn't immediately pounce on the scramble.
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly flicked the football to his right front, took a big step forward with his left foot, and stepped on the left side of the football!
What is Chen going to do?
Pirlo, who was closest to the football, immediately realized the danger and stepped forward to stretch out his right foot!
"Smack! ……”
Just when Pirlo just stretched out his right foot, Chen Fan's right instep kicked the football fiercely, and the football suddenly accelerated and flew up from the turf, flying towards the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Cold shot?!
Long shot!
The tense air in the stadium suddenly became eerie.
The football is flying fast in the heart of Italy, and in the blink of an eye it flies over the penalty area!
Buffon reacted and flew towards the football with a shocked expression!
In the midst of lightning and flint, the football flew about 20 centimeters in front of Buffon's fingertips in extreme silence, and then smashed into the net!
Adar, the commentator of the Dutch national television, shouted: "Chen! Old! Old! The ball is in! Entered! Entered! Entered the ......"
The commentator of the Milan sports station looked at the pitch in amazement, and only said after half a sound: "This is a world-class long-range shot, the football is in the corner, and Buffon, who has shown great courage throughout the game, cannot prevent this goal!" ”
The Torino sports commentator shook his head and said: "The goal went in, the score became 1-1 and the Netherlands equalized in the second minute of stoppage time......"
The Sky Sports commentator exclaimed: "It's an incredible goal, it's a goal to save Van Marwijk!" Chen stepped up in a moment of crisis and saved the Dutch team from humiliation at home! ”
In the stands, Dutch fans screamed excitedly...... The pitch turned into a sea of orange joy.
The Italian fan exhaled heavily, then shook his head helplessly.
In the command area, Van Marwijk shook his fist in relief, and the bench behind him was cheered.
On the court, Chen Fan raised his arms, and Sneijder howled and jumped up and flew to him......
The crowd of reporters on the sidelines, the Dutch reporters were enthusiastic, they shouted like ordinary fans, and at this moment they completely forgot their identity as reporters.
Buffon reluctantly got up from the turf, Pirlo had regret on his face, if he had discovered Chen Fan's intention to shoot from distance earlier, he might have defused the goal.
At least it won't let Chen Fan shoot without any defensive pressure.
The game soon resumed, and the Dutch midfielders pounced on the front like a pack of hungry wolves, their hearts burning with the flames of reversing the score.
However, the Italians are not Ukrainian, they are experienced and make the Dutch midfield's saves empty with quick passes.
At the end of four minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
1-1, the Netherlands equalized at the last minute with Chen Fan's long-range shot, avoiding the embarrassing situation of home humiliation.
After the game, the players on both sides shook hands and hugged each other, and Chen Fan and Buffon hugged and said: "You are a god tonight!" ”
Buffon shook his head and said: "But in the end, you broke the goal. ”
