Chapter 333 Champion!Heroes or bears [ask for recommendation tickets]
Last minute of extra time.
Li Tongfan hadn't given up yet, and he was thinking about every possible way to save the Three Lions every second. Because of overthinking, his energy was exhausted, and he seemed to be in a state of isolation. His temples and forehead were about to ooze blood!
Can't be defeated!
Absolutely can not lose!
But how to change this damn thing?All means have been used, is there any other way to turn the situation around?Could it be that he could only resign himself to fate and lose to a mere [Curse of the Ball King]?
Not reconciled!
I'm so unhappy!
At this moment, the Ernst Happel Stadium suddenly burst into a roar. The huge sound wave was like the terrifying shock wave produced by the nuclear explosion of an atomic bomb, and it swept across the stadium, stands, Vienna, Danube River, Vienna Woods... and the eternal and majestic Alps Mountains in an instant!
Li Tongfan woke up from his state of thinking, and raised his head in a daze. What happened?
……
"...David Beckham... shook Podolski's defense away, a low-threatening half-high pass, the football flew to the front of the penalty area arc, and Alan Smith caught the ball, but he seemed not Concentrated, it seems that the two own goals hit him too... ouch! oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
"...Shoot! The ball is in!!! Straight into the dead corner!! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Smith redeemed himself, the football went into the upper right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper Lehmann didn't react...Fast! Too fast! In the last second of the game, the sinner Alan Smith saved the England team from the edge of the cliff with a stunning shot..."
"...God, it's Alan Smith's terrifying shot! It's 188 meters away from the goal, a shot full of power and shock!! This peerless goal reminds me of Zidane's flying fairy in the Champions League final... OH, GOD!!... No, Alan Smith's shot is farther away and faster...[-] kilometers per hour. God, even if the goal is broken, the Germans should queue up collectively to thank God, because Smith's unstoppable shot is not. shoot them..."
The narrators, speaking different languages, went into madness.
……
what's going on?
Just as Li Tongfan raised his head, a high-jumping figure covered the dazzling lights on the roof of the Ernst Happel Stadium and flew towards him...
Pfft!
Before he could see the white hair clearly, Li Tongfan was thrown to the ground by the huge momentum, and then the weight on his body increased rapidly... Lao Li's brain was a little clear, and the cheers of the English people crying with joy and the shouts of the hammers came from his ears——
"...Goal, we scored!"
"3:3! Haha, the damn Germans must not have thought of it, Alan, you are so fucking good..."
What? ... scored a goal?
Li Tongfan listened to the excited shouts of the hammers pressing on him, and realized that he was being stacked by these damned guys again, and he was the bottom one every time. This feeling is really painful and happy...
……
When the game resumed, the English celebrations were not over.
In the stands, whose tears are flying?
Countless English hunks and beauties who were weeping with joy twisted their bodies crazily, kissing and hugging everyone around them... Various flags and slogans turned Ernst Happel's North Stand into a spectacle of turbulent waves!Hot tears came out of my eyes again, but compared to the bitterness and despair a minute ago, the tears this time are so happy and sweet...
In the South Stand, more than 2 Germans held the back of their heads with their hands, looking like they had seen a ghost.[Master Tactician] Loew, who was invited to the stands by the referee Rossetti with a red card, fell silent. Just now, Smith's ground-breaking super burst shot made Loew feel a little bad.
There are bursts of coolness in the gloomy night sky. Could it be that God has moved his childlike heart and has been playing two teams?
……
The last 30 seconds of the game.
3: 3!
There is no doubt that the final of Euro 2008 will end in a penalty shootout!
Although the England team has almost never won a penalty shootout, Alan Smith's shocking long-range shot saved the England fans from desperation, so they actually firmly suppressed the well-matched German fan camp in momentum. The countdown voice of the Three Lions fans in the Ernst Happel Stadium was so loud——
"...25...24...23...20..."
On the field.
John Terry sprinted from a diagonal thrust and kicked the ball away from Schweinsteiger who was breaking through...
"...15...14...12..."
Gerrard received a pass from James Milner 30 meters away from the goal, shook Frings and kicked a shot, the football was hit by the old urchin Lehmann with a high concentration, and Frings finally suffered from cramps due to exhaustion and fell to the ground...
"...5...4...3...2..."
James Milner volleyed another kick in the face of the football hit by Lehmann, but unfortunately he didn't catch the right part under Ballack's harassment, and the football flew high into the stands behind the goal...
"...1...0!!!!"
Force - force - force ~~~
The famous Italian whistler Rossetti's cheeks puffed up, and he blew two short and three long whistles for the end of the game amidst the chants of the fans... The nine 2008-minute regular season and three 10-minute overtime games of the 10 European Cup are finally over!
The cheers of the fans disappeared quickly, and the atmosphere in the stadium was tense and restless... It was almost frozen, and there was still no one in it. No matter the fans of the German Chariot or the Three Lions fans, there was a feeling of difficulty breathing!
Because, the cruelest, cruelest, cruelest penalty shootout is coming!
……
sidelines.
Players from both sides are lying on the ground receiving massage from the staff, trying to recover a little physical strength in the shortest possible time, and those players who may be sent by the head coach to take penalty kicks are either lowering their heads to calculate the penalty kick, or constantly taking deep breaths to drive away the tension in their hearts...
Li Tongfan bent down to help David Beckham slap his numb calf, while quickly arranging the list of penalty kickers in his brain.After the substitution adjustment in overtime, there are many midfielders in the England team who are good at penalty kicks.Chelsea [Magic Lamp] Lampard is the number one penalty shooter in the blue team, while Gerrard, the soul of the Red Army, is also the most trustworthy penalty shooter at Anfield. Others, such as Gareth Barry, David Beckham, etc., are trusted by those who have achieved fighting spirit in penalty kicks, but...
England's weakness lies in its psychological quality!
Lampard and Gerrard have a great reputation in the club, but they have a precedent of missing penalty kicks in the national team. In the World Cup in Germany in 06, Shuangde missed a penalty kick against the Portuguese team, which ruined the hope of the Three Lions.
Who should I choose?How to arrange the order of penalty kicks?
……
"...The game eventually went to a penalty shootout. Before the game, many people predicted that Madman Lee might sweep the German team with a big score. In fact, 6 of the 5 goals in the game were scored by the English, but two of them went into their own goals. With such bad luck, can they win the penalty shootout?"
"...Actually, even if the element of luck is discarded, the decline of the England team in the penalty shootout is obvious, and what is even worse is that their opponent, the German team, is a master of penalty shootouts. If Crazy Lee hadn't raised his miraculous middle finger in the penalty shootout, I would be more optimistic about the German team winning the championship..."
The former famous [hero], the loyal dog of Madman Li, and now the first football commentator of England National Television, Comrade Sester sat on the bench and trembled nervously at this moment, but he had to fulfill his duties: "The penalty shootout is about to start. Beckham and Ballack walked towards the referee. The two captains need to use a coin toss to decide the goal and order of penalty kicks... Oh, it seems that the Germans have won. Ballack has chosen to serve, and the German team will start the first penalty kick..."
Gary Lineker interjected: "The Germans were cunning in their selection so they could easily pass the pressure on to England's penalty shooters..."
……
On the field.
After a short break, the players from both sides lined up in two teams in the middle of the court. Each player put his arms around the shoulders of his teammates. The huge Ernst Happel Stadium became silent, and the needles could be heard. The players seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats...
England goalkeeper Joe Hart tightened his gloves and slowly walked towards the goal line with the eyes of England fans all over the world...
The German team's first free throw player was the striker Lukas Podolski who almost beat the Three Lions in overtime!
Penalty shootout begins!
……
"...The German team's first penalty kick was Podolski. Prince Polti is the second penalty shooter of the German team after captain Michael Ballack. He has never missed a penalty kick in a national team match before qualifying... This penalty kick is very important. The purpose of the German team sending Podolski is obviously to successfully transfer the pressure to the England team..."
On the field.
Podolski picked up the [Europe Pass] carefully. The names of the two teams, the venue and time of the match were marked on the football, which was a symbol of honor.Prince Polti kisses the football lightly and places it firmly on the penalty spot...
The stadium of 5 people was silent!
force~~~
The referee Rossetti stood in the restricted area and blew his whistle.
back...
approach……
batting...
boom!
The football turned into a bolt of white lightning, roaring towards the lower right corner of the goal!
Joe Hart judged the right direction, but Podolski's shot was too powerful, too fast, and the most uncomfortable angle for the goalkeeper, the football hit the right post and bounced in... helpless!Hart smashed his fist on the lawn in remorse. The boss had said earlier that Podolski's shot had a [-]% chance of hitting the lower right corner, but unfortunately his reaction was still slow...
Boom~~~~
A burst of cheers erupted from the German fan camp, the camera swept across, Loew in the stands and the fans around him jumped up from their seats...
sidelines.
Standing shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm with the coaching staff in front of the bench, Li Tongfan sighed slightly. Unfortunately, it seems that the information provided by the FM2008 database query system is not omnipotent. Although he is familiar with the penalty kick habit of the opponent's penalty shooter in the penalty shootout, if it is Podolski's strong volley, the goalkeeper has no time to respond. At most, it just increases the probability of some saves...
"... Podolski, the goal has been scored!!! The German team has transferred the pressure to the opponent!" The German commentator cheered.
It's England's turn!
German goalkeeper Lehmann wobbled towards the goal, while England's first penalty kick was also a striker——
Michael Owen!
In FM2008, Owen has a [Penalty Kick] attribute of 18 and a [Calmity] attribute of 20. According to the system evaluation, he is a good penalty shooter, so Lao Li was the first to send him.
"...Oh, the No.1 penalty player of the England team is Michael Owen, and he is also a very good shooter. Let's see how the quality of penalty kicks plays..."
force~~~~
Owen set up the football, backed away slowly, all the way out of the penalty area, and then made a quick run...
boom!
Football kicked out...
"...Hey...Hey hey...Ah? Did the shot fly? Michael Owen shot the football onto the crossbar... Owen, who performed well in this game, has already won the top scorer of this cup. Owen actually kicked the penalty kick away...too much pressure!!"
Lehmann clenched his fists and roared to the sky. The Germans still cheered from the stands, while the English fans held their heads in their hands and gasped for air-conditioning. They couldn't believe it...
The nightmare of England's penalty kick, is there going to be an attack?
On the field.
Michael Owen unbelievably lifted the skirt of the red jersey to cover his head, and the England players in the midfield lowered their heads in disappointment in slow motion...
sidelines.
Li Tongfan watched Owen kick the penalty kick, and his heart skipped a beat... But Lao Li suddenly had a strange feeling, and he found that he didn't seem to be very worried...
……
second round.
Germany's second appearance is the pig Schweinsteiger.He is the most skilled player in the German team since the midfield genius Deisler retired due to injury, with outstanding footwork!
force~~~
Schweinsteiger, who was dyed with white hair, also left the penalty area far away. After hearing the referee's whistle, he immediately started to run quickly and shot vigorously...
"...Joe Hart!!! Oh, oh, a hair's breadth! Joe Hart judged the right direction once, but the power of Schweinsteiger's shot was so great that the football hit his outstretched arm and flew into the goal after a slight change of direction..."
Piglet swung his fist fiercely at the England fans who had been booing and harassing him for free throws from behind the goal, and then turned around and drew a big heart-shaped pattern at the German fans on the other side, which caused a burst of cheers...
England team.
The second player to play is Steven Gerrard, the soul of the Liverpool team!
Facing his opponent Lehmann who kept teasing him with his eyes and various small movements, Gerrard bent down and carefully played with the football...
force~~
The whistle sounded.
Gerrard got up slowly and stepped back to the outside of the penalty area step by step, but after taking four steps back, he suddenly turned around and accelerated his run-up shot, and the football whizzed towards the goal...
"...Gerrard, the soul of Liverpool, praised by Zidane as the most comprehensive midfielder in Europe in recent years, let's see if he can save a glimmer of hope for the England team...Ah!! Suddenly turned and shot!!! The goal is... oh, oh, God! Lehmann saved the ball...Gerrard pushed the ball in the middle, but Lehmann blocked the ball with his heel over the crossbar...Both free throws missed!"
In the stands, some England fans have shed tears. Facing the German team, they missed two consecutive penalty kicks. Such a mistake is irreparable...
……
Third round.
It was Borowski who came off the bench in overtime to take the penalty kick!
This midfielder from Werder Bremen is tall and long, and his skills are not weak at his feet. His penalty kick skills cannot be ignored!
Swing the ball, then exit the penalty area, hands on hips!
force~~~
The whistle sounded.
Borowski accelerated in an instant, and suddenly stopped when he ran near the penalty area line. Joe Hart on the goal line was deceived and almost lost his center of gravity.
After a small pause, Borowski accelerated instantly, drawing a mocking arc from the corner of his mouth and shooting vigorously...
"...Borowski! Wonderful sudden stop that knocked Joe Hart off center... Shot!!!... OH? NO! NO!!! NO!!! Joe Hart!! Joe Hart made the proud Borowski pay the price by saving Borowski's shot! The terrible anticipation that the young goalkeeper had shown in the previous game was once again there, and he judged the path of the ball in an instant..."
The England fans who were depressed to the point of going crazy finally gave out their own cheers, while Borowski with a dazed face pulled his wet hair back with his hands, and his big goldfish-like eyes were filled with disbelief...
And Joe Hart raised his fist and roared. The boss gave him the card before the penalty shoot-out, saying that the direction and height of the German team’s penalty kick were not bad at all. After the first two missed saves, he believed that he had gradually found the right feeling for saving...
Here comes England's chance!
The third penalty kick was the "hero" Alan Smith who made a contribution to save the Three Lions at the end of overtime!
The silence at the Enshis-Happel Stadium is terrifying!
"...Alan Smith, this is also one of Madman Lee's favorites in Newcastle. In the group match against Spain, he was banned for three games by UEFA for punching the opponent's central defender Marchena. Madman Lee alone under the huge pressure of public opinion and kept him in the national team... In this game, he handed over one assist and one goal. Apart from two own goals, he performed well. Let's see if he can repay the trust of Madman Lee..."
force--
Smith started the run-up, and the night wind in Vienna blew his striking white hair. He had an indescribably bleak and mighty look. After a run-up of four or five meters, his body leaned forward and then back, his calf swung and he shot without looking at the goal...
boom!
This is the biggest "scream" in football since the start of penalty kicks.
After the shot, Smith didn't even look to see if the football went into the goal. He turned his head and yelled at the camera, then raised his index finger and shook it coldly at the German fans in the stands...
Sure enough, the ball went in!
From the penalty spot to the distance behind the goal line, the football has almost completed this journey within [-] seconds. The speed is as fast as teleportation. The goalkeeper Lehmann of the German team has no time to judge.
In fact, Lehmann didn't even see the ball go in there!
And just when his saving action was about to end, something even worse happened for the German team-the old naughty boy felt a sting in his right arm the moment he landed, and soon Lehmann felt that his arm could no longer be lifted...
……
"...Smith! GOOOOOOOOOAL!! A domineering shot, just like the goal he scored in the last second of overtime, too fast! German goalkeeper Lehmann didn't have time to react...2:1!! The game turned around, and the England team saw hope!"
"...Hey? What happened on the field? Lehmann... Lehmann was injured? The goalkeeper of the German team was injured. This is really a huge blow to them! The penalty shootout was forced to be interrupted... The team doctor has entered the field. I don't know if Lehmann can continue the game..."
"... Lehmann couldn't hold on to the game anymore, he was helped off by the team doctor!! The German team had to make a substitution. Fortunately, they still have a substitution spot!! The second goalkeeper Enke replaced Lehmann... This is really a scene that everyone did not expect... The goalkeeper is replaced in the penalty shootout, and the German team is in trouble!!"
……
After a brief commotion, the fourth round began!
After Borowski's missed penalty kick and Lehmann's injury, the German team's advantage seems to be very weak, and the German fan camp in the stands has also become silent...
Germany's No.4 penalty kick is Frings.
Frings is Werder Bremen's main defensive midfielder and the team's first penalty shooter.The German fans cheered after seeing Frings walking towards the penalty spot. The long-haired man obviously gained the trust of the Germans.
force--
Frings runs up and kicks the ball out...
"...80.00% probability lower right corner, half-high ball..."
The information written on the information Li Tongfan gave him flashed through Joe Hart's brain like lightning, and he kicked his feet to the right like last time...
boom!
Football was blocked by Joe Hart without any suspense!
"...OH?? NO! NO...NO...NO!!! Joe Hart once again saved the German team's penalty. This may be the turning point of the game..."
Soon, amidst the excited roar of the England fans, the No.4 penalty shooter of the England team slowly walked towards the penalty spot——
James Milner!
Li Tongfan chose him because Milner came off the bench and has plenty of energy... More importantly, he is also one of the players who can maintain [Superman status].Compared with Lampard who has repeatedly missed penalty kicks in the competition, Lao Li believes more in the judgment of the FM system.
Sure enough, Milner faced the German goalkeeper Enke, who had not had time to warm up, with an extremely calm push into the middle, sending the football into the goal!
The British commentator Sester went crazy: "The goal is scored!! It is scored!! 2:2! Now the two teams are on the same starting line again. I think this is the magical effect of Madman Lee's choice of penalty kickers..."
His partner Lineker curled his lips, thinking: Crazy Lee missed the first two penalty kicks in his selection of penalty kicks...
……
After the first four rounds, the air in the Ernst Happel Stadium became sticky!
England missed the first two penalty kicks, and the German, who has always been invincible in penalty kicks, missed the last two penalty kicks... After 5 minutes of ups and downs that no one expected, the two sides actually returned to the same starting line!
In the last round, life and death are decided!
……
Fifth round, start!
The German team's free throw player is the team leader Michel Ballack!
The German fans in the stands put their hands together and prayed devoutly, praying for God to bless the captain to score a penalty kick!The camera gave Ballack a close-up close-up. The core of the midfielder has a resolute face, and there is no trace of tension...
At such a moment of life and death, Joe Hart standing on the goal line also got a close-up shot of the broadcast. People were surprised to find that Hart was bending over to take out a small page of paper from his socks, read it carefully, and then stuffed it back...
Seeing this scene, the German commentator pouted: "Are you imitating? This is a patent our German team applied for in the 06 World Cup..."
On the field.
Ballack casually stepped on the football on the tee point, then stepped back five or six meters, quietly waiting for the referee to blow the penalty whistle.
force--
boom!
The football was fired into the upper left corner of the goal like a shell from the chamber. It was a typical Ballack shot, full of power, momentum and confidence...
A nearly perfect shot!
But there were only exclamations on the Ernst Happel stadium...
Because, Joe Hart stepped forward with small steps like a spring installed on the sole of his foot, and then jumped up, stretching out with one palm in a dazzling posture to lift the football off the crossbar!
A more perfect save!
……
England's last corner referee was also team leader and captain David Beckham.This time, the iconic smile on Beckham's face is still the same as the relaxed Ballack just now. As the captain, Beckham can't let others see his nervous side!
From the middle circle of the stadium to the penalty spot, David Beckham has drawn the eyes of countless Englishmen for several centuries. Behind him is the German captain Ballack tearing his hair in a daze, the German fans in the stands who are crying, and the England fans who are holding their breath...
Kiss the [Europe Pass] lightly, then step on the loose turf near the penalty spot, and then carefully arrange the football...
At this moment, the whole world is watching this handsome man!
"...David Beckham! The best captain of the England team is now standing on the penalty spot. This will be a shot that will determine the fate of both sides, a shot that will determine the ownership of the European Cup in 2008! If Beckham scores the football, then the England team will make history! The Three Lions will lift the Delaunay Cup for the first time in history..."
"...This is the moment that is about to make history. This is the most precious penalty in the history of the England team... The pressure on Beckham can be imagined. If the penalty is missed, there is no doubt that Beckham will become a sinner accused by thousands of people!"
"...In normal times, the superstars on the court can use a thousand ways to complete penalty kicks, but at this moment, only true heroes have the courage to go to the penalty spot...To become a hero, technology, physical strength, perseverance... all are indispensable..."
The German fans in the stands booed desperately to distract Beckham!
And all the English people held their breath involuntarily, and even forgot to beat their hearts, quietly waiting for this shot!
force--
The last whistle of the game finally sounded!
Beckham turned his head and glanced at his teammates standing behind him, as well as the black figure standing on the sidelines smiling at him, exhaling a long breath... Then, he started to run!
The boos of the Germans reached the maximum in an instant!
Beckham swept across the penalty area line like the wind, and a second later his instep touched the football...
boom!
On the goal line, the German goalkeeper Enke, who came off the bench, tried his best to save to the right, because the small note given to him by the team's goalkeeper coach Hanke clearly stated: Beckham, accustomed to the right foot, accustomed to penalty kicks...accustomed to the direction...
but……
There was no strong shot as imagined, [Europe Pass] jumped up lightly like a hot air balloon filled with hydrogen, and a beautiful but deadly curved rainbow bloomed on the green of the Ernst Happel Stadium on July 7th...
The small football carries the dreams of countless England fans, and sinks little by little behind the goal line of the German team. Although the goalkeeper Enke has tried his best to adjust the center of gravity of his body, he still can only watch the football float over his body...
Spoon penalty?
At this time, it was actually a spoon penalty?
In the terrible silence of the stadium at this moment, only the blond man with flying hair held his hands up high, accepting the worship of the whole world...
Teammates in the middle circle of the court jumped at him...
The English in the stands went mad...
The commentator Sester opened his mouth and shouted: "Champion! England..."
