Chapter 46: Sudden Death

Seeing Lao Lei's blink, Ronaldinho suddenly reacted, he was yin. Ronaldinho, who felt very wronged, rushed to the head coach very excitedly and explained something. Behind him, Lao Lei patted his ass and stood up from the ground, looked at Ronaldinho's back, with smugness in his eyes, and smiled. However, appeals like Ronaldinho's were destined to be of little effect, and the referee didn't say anything, shook his hand at Ronaldinho and walked away.

At this time, Ronaldinho, who was feeling infinitely aggrieved, suddenly heard Lao Lei's voice from behind him: "Hey, it's useless." You did pull me. ”

As soon as Ronaldinho turned around, he saw the smug old thunder on his face, and then he suddenly blinked again, with a provocation, just like himself. Ronaldinho said helplessly with a little resentment: "You actually yin me, wait, I won't let you go easily." ”

"Who made us in the game?" Lao Lei spread his hands and pretended to express helplessness. However, all he got was a resentful white eye from Ronaldinho, what kind of character he was, Ronaldinho as a friend naturally knew it. Ignoring the thick-skinned bastard, Ronaldinho turned around and said to himself. In the eyes of others, I thought that Lao Lei and the two of them were talking trash to each other, but they knew that these two people were just fighting each other between friends.

Lao Lei is not worried that Ronaldinho will break up with him, he believes that Ronaldinho can understand himself and be the master of each other, and there are many such small means on the football field. And I'm not completely pretending. He did pull me behind me, but he didn't have that much strength. Lao Lei said confidently in his heart. But no matter what, this time Portugal's doorstep crisis has finally been resolved.

After the restart of the game. The clock was already in the 10th minute of the first half of extra time. Portugal are once again slowly starting to pick up the ball at the back, looking for opportunities to attack. The gap on Brazil's right side no longer exists after the addition of Belletti. Belletti isn't the kind of talented player with great ability, but he's a great role player. Originally, Lao Lei still wanted to take advantage of his playing time to seize the opportunity that he did not cooperate well with Brazil's backline. After all, he didn't get much playing time in the game before the World Cup, except for some garbage time. However, Belletti played well and did not give Lao Lei and Portugal a chance.

Since this road is not possible. Lao Lei can only think of another way. Old Ray tried to give the football to Rui Costa to see what he could do. However, due to Brazil's tight defense at the back, Rui Costa did not have any opportunities and space, and he handled the ball well, often forced to pass back and unable to move forward. At the slightest moment's hesitation, he faced the Brazilian's tough defence, with Rui Costa being brought down quite a few times.

As both sides created a very dangerous attack from each other, both sides invariably increased their defensive intensity again at this time. In the remaining 5 minutes of the first half of extra time. Neither side was creating such a dangerous attack, and the referee's whistle ended in the first 15 minutes of extra time, and the two teams were still dead.

Although according to the regulations. The second half of extra time was supposed to start immediately, but the referee gave the players a little rest for the sake of humanity. At this point, Oliveira and Scolari didn't have any tactics in place. It's just to boost the morale of the players and hope that the players can grit their teeth and continue to play. After some encouragement. Oliveira and his assistant coach began to determine who and what was likely to happen in the penalty shoot-out.

Soon the second half of extra time will begin, and the game will now depend on the mental will of the players. After a busy month of competition in the World Cup. By now, the players have consumed a lot of physical energy and spirit, and now the final has been played for nearly 110 minutes so far, and it is almost time to run out of gas.

In the fourth minute of extra time, Brazil launched another attack, thanks to Rivaldo's continuous passes at the edge of the penalty area, which led to a foul on the old Raydi, and won a well-placed free kick. This time, Ronaldo did not go to the penalty area, but stood in front of the football with Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, and I don't know whether to cover or deal with it himself. With a whistle from the referee, it was Ronaldo, who chose to handle the free-kick himself. Although the alien doesn't often take free kicks, he has a good free kick.

The curling ball with the instep of his right foot, Ronaldo's swing of the ball on the spot, went over the Portuguese wall, drew a perfect arc, and went straight to the dead corner of the near post. It was a quality shot, but Ronaldo was a little unlucky, the ball went past Baia's hands, but it ended up hitting the outside of the post and bounced off the line. The aliens almost killed Portugal.

Accompanied by the regretful sighs of the Brazilian fans in the stands, the Brazilian commentator also said with regret: "Ronaldo is only 5 centimeters away from ending this game, scoring a hat-trick in the World Cup final, becoming the second person after Hearst in England in 66, and making Brazil the fifth king." "The alien himself has been holding his head for a long time, and he felt very good after this free kick was issued, but he didn't expect to be turned away by the post.

When the football hit the post, the hearts of the Portuguese players almost jumped out, and they broke out in a cold sweat. Oliveira was even more excited on the sidelines, instructing the road to control the place of foul and try not to foul in such a dangerous place.

At this time, it is difficult for both sides with serious physical consumption to break the opponent's defense in sports battles, so free kicks and corner kicks have become the best scoring opportunities at the moment. However, the difficulty is that these two teams are good at ground coordination, and they are not good at high balls and headers. Although Lao Lei also tried to directly hoist the football into the penalty area, but it did not achieve good results. Aside from Gomez and Pauleta, Portugal have few reliable highs and top players in the box.

Over time. The clock was already in the 12th minute of the second half of extra time. Judging from the current situation on the field, almost all fans, reporters and commentators thought that the final of this year's World Cup was about to end in a brutal penalty shootout. The head coaches of both sides on the sidelines also began to arrange with their assistant coaches the details of the starting ball matchup. At this time, Lao Lei's physical fitness was almost the same. Unable to make any more big moves, he decided to focus all his next energy on defense. As for the attack in the front court. It's up to Rui Costa and Figo.

At this time, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo formed a combination again in the front court, relying on continuous wall cooperation, Rivaldo once again threw off Bento's defense. He then continued to dribble the ball forward and went straight to the edge of the Portuguese penalty area. Bento, who was thrown away by Rivaldo at this time, gritted his teeth and fought hard behind him, showing his most physical strength. Before Rivaldo could enter, he was caught in the encirclement with Couto. Suddenly, Rivaldo flicked his left foot out, and then he was about to accelerate his advance.

Couto stretched out his foot to break the ball, but he couldn't. Right now. Rivaldo's foot suddenly landed on Cuto's outstretched foot, and he fell with a scream. Cuto looked at Rivaldo, who fell to the ground, and was stunned for a moment before he heard the referee's whistle to react. He was like Ronaldinho in the first half of extra time, very excited to rush to the referee to appeal. Couto, which was Rivaldo, found a free kick. Although I know in my heart that it is almost impossible to succeed in appealing, anyone who encounters such a situation will not accept it calmly, and this can be regarded as a useless established procedure, superficial effort.

The most rear. Portugal still had no choice but to accept the decision, with a yellow card from the referee for the agitated Oliveira. The free-kick was perhaps the best chance Brazil could have before the end of the game. So all the Portuguese players are back and taking part in this free-kick approach.

The position of this free-kick is similar to that of the previous Ronaldo free-kick. And he was in front of the free-kick again. The Portuguese player couldn't help but get nervous when he took his free-kick that focused on the post, and the number of people in the wall increased by one more. Old Lei stood in the forbidden area. Looking at the Brazilian players, it always feels like this free-kick will not be so simple.

However, time did not give him much time to think about it, as the referee's whistle blew. The Brazilian player was about to take the free-kick. Ronaldo, who was standing in front of the ball, swung his right foot and made a gesture of direct attack. Just when all the Portuguese players were on the lookout. Lao Lei's sense of uneasiness increased greatly, and he muttered in his heart that it shouldn't be so simple, where the problem is.

Suddenly, a little farther away in the middle, Carlos, who looked like he was speeding up on the spot, appeared in the eyes of Lao Lei. Lao Lei Xin said that it was ............. didn't have time to think about it, Lao Lei believed in his instinct and quickly ran towards the middle lane Carlos. At the same time, Ronaldo's free kick at his feet also came out, not a direct shot, but a flick of the outside instep, which moved the football to the middle and Carlos to run.

Although Lao Lei used all his strength, it was Carlos who took the lead in touching the football. Although Lao Lei tried his best to block his shot with his own foot, with a "bang", the football quickly flew past the edge of Lao Lei's toes, and the distance was 2 centimeters.

Suddenly, a bad premonition filled Lao Lei's heart, and then he heard a "bang", followed by the referee's whistle, and after the last moment, he saw a ecstatic expression on the face of Carlos in front of him. Lost, Lao Lei thought to himself. Watching the ecstatic Carlos running in front of him, looking at the excited yellow figure in front of him, and looking at the excited yellow sea in the stands, Lao Lei suddenly seemed to be unable to hear any sound, and his eyes were distracted.

Lost, really lost, lost... The voice of the heart repeatedly appeared in the bottom of Lao Lei's heart.

This is the only voice in Old Lei's head now.

Portugal died suddenly at the last moment.

This is the biggest defeat Lao Lei has encountered since his debut, and it is also his first real defeat in the smooth sailing. (To be continued......)
