Volume 4 World Cup Legends Chapter 112 "Pyrrhus's Victory"

The arrival of extra time made the whole stadium begin to be filled with a cruel atmosphere, the game went to this point, even the German team, which is known for its physical fitness, has consumed more than half, and Brazil, which is fighting at home, can not fully play the technical advantage, after all, physical fitness is the basis of everything, and now it is likely to be a goal to determine the winner, as long as whoever scores a goal first, he can basically reach the coveted final.

Brazil's momentum was even more ferocious, with the attacking players of the Samba Army up front running everywhere and the fluid coordination like mercury, they wanted to use their fitness to score quickly and not be dragged into the penalty shootout by the German team. Although the Brazilians did well in penalty shoot-outs, they could not compare to the Germans, who had never missed a penalty shoot-out.

Although the penalty shootout is more beneficial to the German team, the Germans know that if the Brazilians attack, they may not survive the penalty shootout at all, and their strength is no worse than the Brazilian team, so they naturally refuse to shrink to play defensive counterattacks in the backfield, and the German team also pulled out to fight against the Brazilian team.

In the 10th minute of extra time in the first half, the Brazilian team finally played a successful counterattack, Silva broke the ball in the backfield and counterattacked with a long pass, Kaka received the ball forward, Pato, Robinho, and Neymar fired four arrows together, and cut into the German team's penalty area at high speed.

Although there were only three defenders in the backfield of the German team, they did not panic, Khedira went directly to intercept his Real Madrid teammate Kaka, and the other two central defenders Hummels and Mertesacker did not mark, but stuck the two main roads leading to the penalty area, forcing the opponent to both sides, and did not give them the opportunity to face the goal.

Khedira originally intended to bring down Kaka with a tactical foul, but Kaka's stride meteor long-distance run is very characteristic, he can always maintain a moderate distance from the defender, so that the opponent can't get up and grab, because as soon as you get up, Kaka will pass you as soon as he accelerates, and it will be difficult for you to catch someone.

Khedira saw Kaka getting closer and closer, he had no choice but to boldly step forward to steal, and after Kaka pressed himself and the two central defenders together, the German team's defense had no layer, and it was easy for the Brazilian to break through the defense.

However, Kaka changed direction and accelerated and Khedira shook him off, and after Khedira was passed, he didn't even have the distance to reach out and pull, he was vicious, and shoveled towards Kaka from behind. However, Kaka's dribbling was quick, and Khedira's tackle didn't touch the ball or anyone.

Kaka didn't look behind, otherwise Kaka, who had just recovered from injury, might have given up the opportunity to attack this time and also questioned why Khedira was so ruthless.

Mertesacker had to move in to fill in the position, otherwise Kaka would have gone straight to the meeting. But he lost his position again when he came over, and Robinho had moved to the line that Mertesacker had just stuck.

Kaka's well-timed pass got the ball right in the direction that Robinho was running, giving Robinho the perfect choice of whether to shoot or continue to dribble into the box.

Robinho opted to continue the breakthrough.

After Robinho burst into the box, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had already rushed out at high speed and flew to save the ball at Robinho's feet.

Robinho flicked the ball quickly to the side, and with the other foot just in the first block, a beautiful dribble "croquette" abridged version of Neuer.

However, Robinho only calculated that Neuer would definitely be passed, but forgot that Neuer was the goalkeeper and he could still use his hands, and Robinho was dragged to the ground by Neuer's hand before he could shoot the empty goal.

“…… Robinho fell...... Penalty? Is this definitely a penalty? As long as the referee is not blind, he knows how to decide. The African referee rushed to the scene of the incident, his finger ...... Point to the penalty spot! It's really a penalty! Brazil got a penalty? ”

"Ahh Yes! The referee showed Neuer a red card, his first of the game, and Neuer was sent off......"

"It's a devastating blow!"

There was prolonged applause from the stands, with the Brazilian fans chanting "Referee wise!" "Long live the referee!" The atmosphere in the stadium was lively.

“…… Schweinsteiger rushed forward in a rage, the German players surrounded referee Kalidou Koulibaly, and manager Loew also ran to question the fourth official...... But it didn't work, referee Kalidou Koulibaly insisted on his decision, and everything was irretrievable......... 10th minute of extra time...... Brazil penalty! ”

“…… Pato stood at the penalty spot, and he took the penalty as he waited for the German team to make a substitution, and the German team had no choice but to replace the center forward Gomez and replace the substitute goalkeeper Adler. ”

"Germany have a lot of talent in goal, and Adler, who is about the same age as Manuel Neuer, is also a talented goalkeeper, and now he will be tested by Pato, who has scored the second most goals in the World Cup...... Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Incredible! Incredible! Adler saves Pato's penalty...... Adler kept a point of fire for the German team, if this penalty Pato scored, there would be no suspense in the game, and the German team with one less player could not reverse the Brazilian team...... "After playing one more person, the advantage of the Brazilian team is very obvious, they control more than 70% of the possession, they spend most of their time in the German team's half-court activities, but the German team is still struggling, the hardest game that the Germans have played in this World Cup, it is likely to be the last game, They were already defending all the way and holding on for the last fifteen minutes before they were able to drag the Brazilians into a penalty shoot-out, when one more and one less would make no difference.

But Brazil is Brazil, and they have a lot of talent who can solve games in a flash of light. In the 20th minute of extra time, the young Ganso stepped up again, with his back to the goal and being defended by Khedira, he stopped the ball on his chest, turned around, and made a shocking half-turn volley to put the score in check.

2:1.

The whole stadium was boiling! All the Brazilian fans jumped up, waving their arms and shouting, "Champion! Final! "Finals! Champion! The players and coaches in the dugout and on the bench also rushed out at the same time, hugging tightly and celebrating the hard-earned goal.

The German fans were stunned, the German players were stunned, they didn't expect Ganso to be able to play such a world wave in this situation, this kind of ball is like a fairy ball, but it is hard to find, but today they were encountered, first sent off a person, and now they are scored by the opponent to such a fairy ball, the Germans are depressed to the extreme.

However, the German tank is the German tank, they did not surrender because one less person was behind by one goal, they stubbornly launched the final charge against the Brazilian team after the kick-off, they will never admit defeat, the Germans have no tradition of conceding defeat, even if they persist until the last moment, they will not give up hope and attack, this is the German spirit.

The Germans were not as fluid and mercury-like as the Brazilians, and they were like a terrifying army of ironclad armours that rumbled and crushed the world with a suffocating pressure.

The Brazilian team actually reached the end of the crossbow at this time, and under the desperate counterattack of the German team, they couldn't resist, so they could only shrink back and fight back.

The final 10 minutes proved to be the toughest and most embarrassing for Brazil at this World Cup, as they were forced to defend heavily against a German team with one man less, using their numerical superiority to resist the Germans' attacks.

The Brazilian fans were also nervous, cheering their players on with all their might, even throwing debris into the stadium to delay time in order to stop the Germans on the pitch.

In the feeling of the fans and players on both sides, the clock is now ticking in seconds.

In the last minute of extra time, the Germans had a good chance, the German core Ozil, who had been contained by the Brazilian team, suddenly gave up the middle and cruined to the side, he shook his teammate Marcelo, shook Robinho from near the bottom line to the penalty area, Marcelo helplessly, reached out on the penalty line to pull Ozil. He also received his second yellow card of the game.

The Germans were given one last chance to attack.

Everyone in the German team stood in the box and pinned all their hopes on this attack, they ran out of time.

Ozil's free kick shot directly at the goal, the ball hit the goalkeeper Cesar's body and bounced out, and the penalty area suddenly became a mess, everyone couldn't tell the friend or the enemy, and it didn't matter who the other party was, anyway, they kicked the ball when they saw it.

The ball tossed in the penalty area for more than ten seconds, so that the fans of the Brazilian team almost collapsed, and most people did not dare to look at it anymore, just closed their eyes and prayed to God, waiting for these last tens of seconds to pass safely.

Tens of seconds were as long as decades, and finally, referee Kalidou Koulibaly blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Germans were unable to pull off another miracle, and the Brazilians had the last laugh as they played the full 120 minutes and eliminated the German giants 2-1 to reach the final.

However, the Brazilians also paid a heavy price, their two magic wings, the world's No. 1 and No. 2 full-backs Marcelo and Alves, were all suspended, and Kaka was also injured, and the Brazilians definitely won this game.

At the press conference after the game, Brazil coach Menezes sighed while being happy: The game is too hard, the Germans are too tenacious, our victory can be called "Pyrrhus's victory", we are like an airplane with two wings broken, and now the only thing I hope is that the Chinese team will eliminate England and reach the final, otherwise the final will also be very difficult for us. “
