PS: Thank you very much for your monthly pass and reward support!!

Although Piero was comforted by his teammates, he faced the next game with a strong spirit. But it was clear from the look in his eyes that he was not quite out of the shadow of missing the crucial penalty. If he is in this form, it will not be good news for Italy. Thankfully, Moreno blew the whistle for the end of the 90-minute game a few minutes after Baia reopened the ball and the two teams were set to go into extra time.

Before extra time began, both teams had a few minutes to drink and rest. As he walked to the sidelines, Costa put his arm around Ray's shoulders and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to Piero from Rayma?" It seems to work. ”

"Nothing." Lao Lei didn't want to go into details, he could imagine that as long as he said it, tomorrow there would be news in the major newspapers that Piero was not psychologically strong and was softly said by Lei Maiya. Lao Lei didn't want to do this, it would inevitably mean to get an inch and kill everything. It is enough to solve the problems of the game on the field, and if it is not a special situation, there is no need to make trouble off the field.

Seeing that Lao Lei refused to speak, Costa didn't force it, and punched Lao Lei in the chest to express his gratitude. God knows how desperate and helpless Costa himself felt when Moreno awarded a penalty, and he could become the sinner of the whole of Portugal. Although I don't know what Lao Lei said to Piero, Costa vaguely felt that Piero's missed penalty had nothing to do with Lao Lei's words.

While players from both sides were drinking water on the sidelines or receiving muscle massages from their physical trainers, the managers of both sides were scrambling to set up extra-time tactics. At this time, Oliveira and Trapattoni were in a tactical arrangement. It's much the same, defense is the mainstay. Take advantage of set-pieces. Since the overtime is now a Golden Ball system, it is also known as sudden death. It's a matter of who makes the mistake first. Because of this, most teams will choose to be safe in overtime, and they dare not press the attack vigorously, for fear that the opponent will succeed in a sneak attack and bury the whole game.

The Golden Ball system of extra time is the field of the brave. After all, no matter how much you pursue safety, the team that will score first will win at the end, which requires a lot of psychological quality from the players on both sides. The Golden Ball system was originally created to encourage both sides to attack. It was FIFA that came out to put an end to what happened to Argentina and Denmark in the '90 World Cup and the '92 European Championships. At that time, Argentina held the guiding ideology of "counter-attack", eliminated Brazil, Yugoslavia and Italy in succession, and advanced to the final with two penalty shootouts, and they only scored a total of five goals in seven games. Denmark in 92 also relied on penalties to eliminate the Netherlands and create a "Danish fairy tale". Such an embarrassing miracle led to the birth of the goal.

However, seeing the current dull overtime, I don't know whether the Golden Ball system is a blessing or a curse. This extra-time match between Portugal and Italy was no exception, in such an important event as the knockout round of the World Cup. It's hard to see a good overtime. Both sides played cautiously and carefully closed the hit. At this time, Lao Lei disappeared due to the devil's muscles, although his physical fitness was not a big problem, but he was not as active as before. After all, it depends on the situation. If it doesn't matter, it will reach 120 minutes, and Lao Lei chooses to forbear, just in case of emergency.

At this time, the first half of extra time had reached the 8th minute. It's more than halfway through. The eight-minute game, in the words of the neutral commentator, was: "It's literally murdering our eyes." "This time. Ray tried to form a link with Rui Costa in midfield and play some small combinations. But when Ray passed the football to Rui Costa. He didn't return the pass, and Ray's run caught the attention of Gattuso and Totti, and at this point Rui Costa was only Koko.

Perhaps it was Lao Lei who played too much with Rui Costa, which caused the Italian players to relax their supervision of Rui Costa. And the midfield maestro was keenly aware of this, and he took a personal breakthrough against Koko this time and did not cooperate with the old thunder. Rui Costa flicked his right foot to the right, and Koko hurriedly shifted his weight to the right.

Rui Costa then suddenly pulled back the inside of his right foot to break through to the left, but Koko had to force his center of gravity to move to the left. But suddenly Rui Costa flicked the outside of his right foot to the right, and this time Koko had no choice but to force the center of gravity again. It was as if he had been immobilized, and he could only watch as Rui Costa calmly advanced from his right.

These few movements undoubtedly reveal the flexibility of Rui Costa's body, and the movements are very stretched, quite a bit of clumsiness, and the feeling of calm atmosphere shows his ability as a midfield master. Maldini had to let go of Conceição at this point, and could not let Rui Costa advance. This played into the hands of Rui Costa, who managed to break through to the edge of the penalty area with a simple one-two with Conceição. Rui Costa's sudden outburst managed to create a killing chance on the edge of the Italian penalty area. The Italian fans had goosebumps all over their bodies, and they felt like there was a murderous sword, the tip of which had touched their skin, and the cold was pressing.

Old Ray is on the left side of Rui Costa, ready to pick up Rui Costa. At this time, Italy's defender Nesta has pressed into the vicinity of Rui Costa, and Nesta's frontal defensive ability is undoubtedly the top in the world. At this time, in order to ensure the fluency and success of this attack, Rui Costa did not choose to break through, but asked Lao Lei to make a cooperation against the wall.

Ray faced Rui Costa's pass, stuck Gattuso behind him, flicked his left foot, and flicked the ball back to Rui Costa's forward path. Rui Costa accelerated at full speed, hitting Nesta's weakness of not being fast. With a hard swing of his left hand, he opened the hand that Nesta reached for a tactical foul, and at this time, there were no Italian defenders in front of Rui Costa for the time being, and he could already shoot with his feet. Rui Costa has a long-range shot, albeit with an elegant style of play. However, his long-range shots are known for their power and wide angles.

This is perhaps best known to the Italian players who play in Serie A, and the threat of an undisturbed kick from Rui Costa in such a place is huge. And there is no doubt about it. Rui Costa was going to do just that, and he adjusted his pace. It has already put on a long-range shot. At this time, a huge figure suddenly glided over the football, and the target was Rui Costa's feet.

At this time, Rui Costa didn't have time to react at all, and he was cut down to the ground like a tree. He was knocked into the air and then fell heavily on the court. He fell on the grass, hugged his left foot, and let out a cry of pain. At this time, a tall blue figure stood up from the field, No. 23 Materazzi. Inter Milan's central defender. The foul central defender, not only did not express the slightest concern and apology to Rui Costa lying on the ground, but lowered his body and pointed at Rui Costa, his mouth bursting with foul language.

Seeing Materazzi behaving like this, Lao Lei suddenly rushed forward angrily. In the Portuguese national team, Rui Costa's skills and character are deeply admired by Lao Lei. In normal times, when Lao Lei went up to coach, he also taught him without the slightest reservation. Although I've known Rui Costa for almost a month. But the relationship between the two has developed rapidly, and they have become very good friends, a bit of a teacher and a friend. There is no doubt that Materazzi's actions angered the elder Lei. It is important to know that Rui Costa was injured at AC Milan last season. It's finally healed, but if you get injured again at this time, you will become a glass human body. This will seriously affect the rest of his career.

Old Ray rushed forward and pushed Materazzi hard in the back. Materazzi, who was still bowing down and saying something, was caught off guard. I fell and fell on the court. Lao Lei's action immediately detonated the smell of gunpowder on the field. The hot-tempered Gattuso was the first Italian player to rush over, stretching out his finger against Lao Lei's chest, blushing and saying something loudly in Italian, saliva flying.

And Lao Lei didn't bother to pay attention to Gattuso at all, and slapped Gattuso's fingers off. Now the smell of gunpowder is stronger, Materazzi has already stood up at this time, and he is not a good stubble, he also rushed to Lao Lei, and faced Lao Lei with Gattuso. At this moment, the three of them are like red-eyed bulls, pushing each other's hands together, not clean each other's hands, and pushing each other.

At this time, Daejeon Stadium was filled with boos, and the boos filled people's eardrums, which simply made people's ears hurt. Fans were booing each other's teams, while reporters were scrambling to pick up their cameras and flash wildly. What kind of rhythm is this, is it going to fight, the reporters are almost drooling, there was a brawl at the World Lu World Cup, and this news will definitely detonate the entire world of football.

However, things did not go as these unscrupulous reporters wished, and the players on both sides reacted quickly and quickly pulled away 3 people. The referee Moreno also made a quick decision, no one escaped with 3 yellow cards, and issued the most embarrassing verbal warning to the three of Lao Lei. The good news is that Rui Costa has no major problems continuing to play after a short period of treatment. I don't know how many Portuguese fans and the whole Portuguese team have put their hearts back in their stomachs.

Once the game resumed, Portugal had to deal with the free-kick first. This position is about 23 meters away from the goal, you can shoot, you can pass, it is a very threatening position. The whole Italian team also returned to the penalty area to defend the free kick.

I don't know if it's because of what happened just now, Materazzi came to Lao Lei's side, and even Gattuso was eyeing the surroundings. Materazzi and Lao Lei continued the situation between each other. Materazzi himself appeared as a bad boy in Serie A, and Lao Lei was not a good boy. Neither of them has clean hands, and if you pull my jersey, I'll give you an elbow. The two of them have become a special landscape in the forbidden area, and the two of them are like wrestlers in the wrestling ring, entangled together, still at the level of body hair.

The referee also had to call out two more people to warn against causing trouble. In front of the referee were the two people who were good babies, and after returning to their positions, they continued the action just now, but the action was a little more restrained, and they didn't dare to hit the referee's muzzle too obviously. These few minutes of small actions of two people are enough to guide a small action on a football field.

Seeing that the two people were a little more honest, the referee blew the whistle and signaled that it was time to take a free kick. (To be continued......)
