PS3: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
"Damn! Are you wrong?" Seeing that his goal was blown away by the referee, Da Inzaji, who was extremely depressed, kicked the turf and splashed a piece of debris. "Yap (Stam) You kid are so cunning that you can actually make me offside at this time..."
That's right, if it weren't for Vieri's passing, Stam took a good step forward and threw Inzaghi in the offside position, then the Netherlands would probably have been eliminated from the European Cup now!
Hearing Inzaghi's unwilling words, Stam didn't say much, but just smiled honestly, patted Inzaghi's shoulder and walked towards the gate. After all, the game is not over yet, and Stam can't be careless at all. Stam doesn't think that his luck can always be so good, and he can continue to make offside.
If you make a mistake and are seized by your own club teammates, the team will be eliminated from the European Cup by Italy!
However, with less than a minute before the end of overtime, Stam's concerns seemed a bit redundant. Not long after the goal of Inzaghi's goal was blew offside and the first goal was invalid, Merck blew the whistle to the end of overtime, marking that the highly anticipated European Cup semi-finals finally entered the brutal penalty shootout stage!
"Damn, I was so scared just now. Fortunately, it was an offside ball, otherwise it would be too frustrating if I was eliminated like this." Rijkaard, who was shocked by the offside goal just now, was in a cold sweat while drawing a cross in his heart to thank God, took the list from his assistant and began to arrange the order of the people who took the penalty kick.
At this moment, Rijkaard's heart was quite unsure. You should know that from the moment the Netherlands became a football powerhouse, this Tulip Country has performed extremely hard on the issue of penalty kicks!
That's right, although they have emerged with penalties like Neskens and Van Basten in the past few decades, the Netherlands often becomes the losing side every time they are in the penalty shootout. So far, the Orange Army has experienced three penalty shootouts in the World Cup and European Cup, all of which have happened in the last eight years. However, the Netherlands has not won a single game and lost to Denmark (European Cup in 1992), France (European Cup in 1996) and Brazil (European Cup in 1998), which are the most miserable existences among the football powerhouses. You know, although Italy is also not good at penalties and has fallen to 12 yards a lot. The Rose Bowl in 1994 is the best example, but the Apennines have at least tasted the taste of winning the penalty shootout!
In addition, in the previous game, the strange phenomenon of the team missing three consecutive penalty kicks made Rijkaard feel even more up and down. Therefore, when determining the team's penalty players and the order of appearance, the Black Swan had to call all of their players to his side and prepare to listen to their opinions to determine the final penalty order.
Italy's actions were relatively straightforward and neat. Old Maldini, who had been prepared for this, wrote the list in less than a minute and asked his assistant Tardelli to hand it over to the referee.
After a short break, the players on both sides stood on the court again under Merck's organization, waiting for the arrival of the penalty shootout!
Since captain Paul Maldini won the Italian team the right to first penalty in the previous guessing of coins, the first player to appear and take the penalty was Dibiagio from Inter Milan.
Facing Van der Sar who was waiting for the goal line, the midfielder did not show any hesitation or hesitation. He shot hard and kicked the ball into the upper left corner of the goal, one to zero!
After Dibiagio won the first point in the penalty shootout for Italy, the Dutch player who was the first to play to take the penalty kick came out of the crowd and walked towards the 12-yard point with a serious look on his face!
"The first player in the Netherlands to come forward to take the penalty kick was their captain Frank Debor." The commentator looked at Debor, who had obviously not much confidence, and said jokingly, "Looking at his appearance, those who don't know would probably think he was going to be killed bravely."
At this time, Debor, who was standing at the penalty point, was fiddling with the ball while secretly looking at Tordo's expression, as if he wanted to see some clues from his face. In his opinion, if he could find some signs or flaws in Tordo's actions, then he would be able to punish the penalty with more confidence!
Unfortunately, facing Debord, the defeated player under Debord, Tordo did not reveal any flaws, and he seemed very relaxed. He even had the mood to jump around in front of the goal, which added a lot of pressure to the worried Dutch captain!
So, Debor, who had found nothing, had to give up this little calculation, retreated a short distance, then directly assisted, and shot the goal in the middle! Debord judged based on his rich game experience that Toldor would definitely choose to rush to both sides of the goal, and would never defend the middle in such a critical occasion!
In this way, the success rate of choosing to shoot in the middle is obviously higher than kicking the ball in other directions of the goal!
However, what surprised Deborer was that Toldo did not act as he expected, but fell to the ground immediately while shooting the ball and chose to save the middle!
Under such circumstances, it is needless to say that Debord's shot was blocked from the goal without any suspense by Tordo, and this was also the fourth consecutive penalty kick that the Dutch team missed in this game!
Seeing Debord fall on the penalty kick for the second time in a row, the audience and the audience sitting in front of the TV watching the game were suddenly in an uproar. Although the Netherlands is not good at penalties, it is too exaggerated to lose four consecutive games in a game?
