Chapter 345 Champion! Hero or bear

The last minute of overtime.

Li Tongfan hasn't given up yet. Every second, he is quickly using his brain to think about every possible way to save the Three Lions. Because overthinking leads to serious energy consumption, the whole person seems to have fallen into a state of isolation, and his temples and forehead are about to bleed!

Can't lose!

Absolutely can't be defeated!

But how to change this damn thing? All means have been used. Is there any other way to turn the situation around? Is it possible that you can only listen to fate and lose to a district [ball king curse]?

Unwilling!

I'm so unwilling!

At this moment, a roar suddenly broke out at the Ernst-Hapel Stadium, and the huge sound waves were like the horrible shock waves generated by the atomic bomb, instantly sweeping the court, the stands, Vienna, the Danube, the Vienna Forest... and the Henggu's towering Alpis Mountain!

Li Tongfan woke up from his thinking state and raised his head blankly. What happened?

......David Beckham... shook Podolski's defense and passed the ball with a non-threatening half-height ball. The football rushed to the front of the arc of the penalty area. It was Alan Smith who received the ball, but he didn't seem to pay much attention. It seemed that the two own goals hit him too... Oh! Oh, whe, whe! Oh! Shot the goal? God...GOAL...GOAL...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"

...Shoot! The goal is scored!!! Straight to the dead corner!! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! ! Smith atoneed for his sins, and the football rushed into the upper right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Lehman did not respond... Hurry up! Too fast! In the last second of the game, the sinner Alan Smith's shocking shot saved England from the edge of the cliff..."

"...God, a horrible shot from Alan Smith! Three or nine eight 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... The speed is 188 kilometers per hour. God, even if the goal is broken, the Germans should queue up to thank God, because Smith's unstoppable shot did not hit them..."

The commentators in different languages fell into madness.

...What happened?

Li Tongfan just raised his head, and a high-jumping figure covered the dazzling lighting on the roof of the Ernst-Happell Stadium, and flew in his direction... pop!

Before he could see the white hair clearly, Li Tongfan was thrown to the ground by a huge impulse, and then the weight of his body increased rapidly... Lao Li's brain was a little sober, and the English cheers and shouts of the hammers came from the ears - "... Goal, we scored! "

3:3! Haha, the damn German must not have thought, Alan, you're fucking awesome..."

What? ... scored a goal?

Li Tongfan listened to the excited shouts of the hammers pressing on him, and then realized that he had been stacked by these damn guys again. Every time it was the last one. This feeling was really painful and happy... When the game began, the English celebration was not over.

Whose tears are flying in the stands?

Countless weeping England** and beautiful women twisted their bodies crazily, kissing and hugging everyone around them... All kinds of flags and slogans dressed Ernst Haper's North Stand as a wave spectacle! Tears came out of their eyes again, but compared with the bitterness and despair a minute ago, the tears this time were so happy and sweet... In the South Stand, more than 20,000 Germans held the back of their heads in their hands, with a ghostly expression. [Tactical Master] Love, who was invited to the front desk with a red card by referee Rossetti, fell into silence. Smith's shocking super shot just now made Loaf suddenly feel a little bad. This was not a shot that should have appeared on the court... It's incredible!

There are bursts of coolness in the gloomy night sky. Has God moved his childlike innocence and has been playing with 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 the penalty shootout, Alan Smith's shocking long-range shot made the English fans desperate, so they actually steadily suppressed the German fan camp in momentum. The countdown voice of the three lions in the Ernst-Happel Stadium is like This is bright - "...25...24...23...20..."

On the field.

John Terry rushed out of the thorn and kicked the football at the foot of Schweinstein, who was breaking through... "...15...14...12..."

Gerard received a pass from James Milner 30 meters away from the goal, shook off Flynns' foot and shot. The football was hit by the high degree of attention, and the old urchin Lehman punched out, and Flynns finally fell to the ground because of a cramped due to physical overdraft... "...5...4...3...2 ......"

James Milner made another volley against the football hit by Lehman. Unfortunately, he didn't eat the right part under Ballack's disturbance, and the football flew high to the stands behind the goal... "...1......0!!!!"

Force-force-force-force Italian whistle Rossetti's cheeks bulged, blowing two short and three long game end whistle in the shouts of the fans... The 2008 European Cup 90-minute regular season and 30-minute overtime finally ended!

The shouts of the fans soon disappeared, and the atmosphere in the stadium was tense and anxious... It almost froze, and there was still no one in it. Whether it was the Erman chariot fans or the fans of the three lions, they all had a feeling of difficulty breathing!

Because the cruelest, cruelest and cruelest penalty shootout is coming!

...side the field.

The players on both sides are lying on the ground receiving a massage from the staff, trying to recover a little physical strength in the shortest time, and those players who may be sent by the head coach to take the penalty kick or lower their heads to calculate the way of the penalty kick, or constantly take a deep breath to drive away the tension in their hearts... Li Tongfan bends. The lower waist helped David Beckham beat his sore calves, while quickly arranging the list of penalty kickers in his brain. After the substitution adjustment in overtime, many midfielders in England are good at penalty kicks. Chelsea [God Lamp] Lampard is the first penalty player in the Blue Army, and the Red Army Soul Gerrard is also the most trusted penalty kicker in Anfield. Others such as Gareth Barry, David Beckham and others, who have the fighting spirit of penalty kicks are trusted, but... England's weakness is in psychological quality. !

Lampard and Gerrard are glorious in the club, but there are precedents of penalty kicks in the national team. In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, both failed in the penalty shootout with Portugal, which ruined the hope of the Three Lions' promotion. Li Tongfan did not know him. Have you got rid of the psychological haze... Who should we choose? How to arrange the order of penalty kicks?

... "... The game finally went into a penalty shootout. Before the game, many people predicted that the crazy Lee might sweep the German team by a big score. In fact, five of the six goals in the whole game were indeed scored by the English, but two of them entered their own goals. With such bad luck, they were able to score. Did you win the ball battle?

"... In fact, even if you abandon the element of luck, the decline of the England team in the penalty shootout is obvious, and what's worse is that their opponent Germany is a master of the penalty shootout. If the madman Li does not raise his magical middle finger in the penalty shootout, I am more optimistic that the German team will win the championship... "

The former famous [British J], madman Li's loyal dog, and now Comrade Sester, the first football commentator of England's National Television, sat on the bench and trembled nervously at this moment, but he must perform his duties: "The penalty shootout is about to begin, Beckham and Barak go to the referee, and the two captains need to It is necessary to use the method of tossing a coin to determine the goal and the order of the penalty kick... Oh, it seems that the Germans won, Barak chose the right to serve, and the German team will start the first penalty kick..."

Gary Reinkel interrupted: "The Germans' choice is cunning, so that they can easily transfer the pressure to England's free throwers..."

... on the field.

After a short break, the players on both sides were arranged into two teams in the middle of the court. Each player put his arms around his teammate's shoulder. The huge Ernst-Hapel Stadium became silent and the needle was audible. The players seemed to be able to hear their heartbeat... England goalkeeper Joe Hart tightened himself. The gloves slowly walked to the goal line with the eyes of England fans all over the world... And the German team's first penalty player was Lucas Podolski, the striker of the Three Lions in overtime!

The penalty shootout has begun!

...... The first penalty kick for the German team was Po Dorski. Prince Porti is the second penalty kick for the German team after captain Barak. He has never missed a penalty in the national team's game before... This penalty kick is very important. The German team has Potolski's goal. Obviously, it is to successfully transfer the pressure to the England team..."

On the field.

Podorski carefully picked up the [European Pass]. The football marked with the names of the two teams and the venue and time of the game, which is a symbol of honor. Prince Porti gently kissed the football, and then put it firmly on the penalty spot... The court of 50,000 people was silent!

Forced referee Rossetti to stand in the penalty area and blow the whistle.

Back... Run... Hit the ball... Bang!

The football turned into a white lightning and roared to the lower right corner of the goal!

Joe Hart judged the right direction, but Podolski's shooting force was too big, too fast, and the most uncomfortable angle for the goalkeeper. The football bounced into the right column... There's nothing I can do! Hart resentfully smashed the lawn with his fist. The boss had just said that the probability of Podolski's shot was in the lower right corner, but his reaction was still slow... There was a burst of shouting out in the German fan camp. The camera swept over, and Loe in the stands and the fans around him jumped up from the seat. ...Side the field.

Li Tongfan sighed slightly with the members of the coaching staff, standing shoulder to shoulder and arm in front of the bench. Unfortunately, it seems that the information provided by the FM2008 database query system is not omnipotent. Although he is familiar with the penalty habit of the opponent's penalty player in the penalty game, if it is such a strong force as Po Dorski With a volley, the goalkeeper didn't have time to react at all. At most, it's just to increase the probability of saving... "... Poorsky, the goal is scored!!! The German team transferred the pressure to the opponent!" The German commentator cheered.

It's England's turn!

German goalkeeper Lehmann staggered to the goal, and England's first penalty kick was also the striker Michael Owen!

Owen's [ppoint kick] in FM2008 has a surname of 18 and [sed calm] has a surname of 20. According to the system evaluation, he is a good penalty player, so Lao Li was the first to send him.

"...Oh, the first penalty shooter of England is Michael Owen, who is also a very good scorer. Let's see how the penalty quality works..."

Forced Owen to set up the football, slowly retreated, kept exiting the penalty area, and then ran quickly... Bang!

The football was kicked out... "... hey... hey hey hey... ah? Unexpectedly shot? Michael Owen shot the football on the crossbar... Owen, who performed well in this game, has won the best scorer of this cup, and actually kicked the penalty kick away... Too much pressure!!"

Lehman clenched his fists and roared. The cheers of the Germans still sounded in the stands, while the English fans held their heads in their hands and inhaled the cold air in their hands. Can't they believe it's nightmare of England's penalty defeat?

On the field.

Michael Owen incredibly lifted the skirt of the red jersey and covered his head, and the England players in the midfield lowered their heads disappointedly in the slow motion... on the sidelines.

Li Tongfan watched Owen kick the penalty kick and jumped fiercely... But Lao Li suddenly had a strange feeling that he found that he didn't seem to be very worried... the second round.

The second appearance of the German team is Schweinstein Steiner. He is the most skilled player in the German team since the midfielder genius Deisler retired due to injury, with outstanding footwork!

Schweinstein, who was dyed with white hair, also withdrew far away from the penalty area. After hearing the referee's whistle, he immediately began to run quickly and shoot vigorously... "...Joe Hart!!! Oh, it's a little bit worse! Joe Hart once judged the right direction, but Schweinstein Steiger's shooting force was too strong. The football hit his open arm, and after a slight change of direction, he still flew into the goal..."

Piggy waved his fist fiercely at the English fans who had been booing behind the goal and harassing their free throws, and then turned around and drew a big heart-shaped pattern against the German fans on the other side, triggering a burst of cheers... England.

The second appearance is Liverpool soul Steven Gerrard!

In the face of Lehman, the opponent who kept teasing with his eyes and various small movements, Gerrard bent down and carefully fiddled with the football... The whistle sounded.

Gerrard slowly got up and retreated step by step out of the penalty area, but after four steps back, he suddenly turned around and accelerated the shot, and the football roared towards the goal... "... Gerrard, the soul of Liverpool, was praised by Zidane as the most comprehensive midfielder in Europe in recent years. Let's see if he can be for England. The team saved a glimmer of hope... Ah!! Suddenly turn around and shoot!!! The ball goes in... Oh, Oh, Oh, God! Lehman rushed to the football... Gerrard pushed the shot in the middle, but Lehman blocked the football out of the crossbar with his heel... Both free throws were lost!"

In the stands, there were already English fans who left tears in the face of the German team and lost two consecutive penalties. Such a mistake is irreparable... The third round.

The penalty kick was Borowski, who came on as a substitute in overtime!

This midfielder from Wenda Bremen is tall and tall, his foot skills are not weak, and his penalty skills cannot be ignored!

Swing the ball, exit the penalty area, and put your hands on your waist!

The whistle sounded.

Borovski accelerated in an instant. When he ran near the penalty area line, there was a sudden pause. Johardt's body on the goal line was deceived and almost lost his center of gravity. The German fans in the stands laughed... After a small pause, Borowski accelerated instantly, and a mockery was drawn on the corners of his mouth. The arc made a strong shot... "... Borowski! The wonderful sudden pause made Joe Hart lose his center of gravity... Shoot!! ...OH? NO! NO!! NO!!! Joe Hart!! Joe Hart made the proud Borowski pay the price, and he saved Borowski's shot! The young goalkeeper's terrible prediction ability in the previous game appeared again, and he judged the route of football in an instant..."

The English fans who were so depressed that they were about to go crazy finally cheered their own, and Borowski, with a blank face, pulled his wet hair to the back of his head with both hands, and the big goldfish-like eyes were full of incredible... And Johardt raised his fists and roared, the one given by the boss before the penalty shootout. The direction and height of a player's penalty kick on the German team's court are not bad at all. After the first two saves, he believes that he has gradually found the right save feeling... The opportunity for England has come!

The third penalty kick was Alan Smith, the "hero" of the Three Lions, who made contributions at the last minute of overtime!

The silence of Enshis-Hapel Stadium is terrible!

"...Alan Smith, this is also one of the favorites of the madman Lee in Newcastle. In the group match against Spain, he was banned by the UEFA for three games because of boxing the opposing central defender Marchena. The madman Li left him in the national team under great pressure of public opinion... He handed over an assist in this game. One goal, in addition to two own goals, performed well. Let's see if he can repay the trust of the madman Li..."

Forced - Smith began to run. The night wind in Vienna blew his eye-catching white hair, and there was a kind of indescribable bleakness and power. After running four or five meters, his body leaned back before, and his calves swung without looking at the goal... Bang!

This is the biggest "scream" from football since the start of the penalty kick.

After shooting, Smith didn't even see if the football had entered the goal again. He directly turned back and roared at the camera, and then raised his index finger and shook it coldly at the German fans in the stands... Sure enough, the ball was scored!

From the distance from the penalty point to the goal line, the football almost completed the journey in zero minute. The speed was as fast as teleportation. The German goalkeeper Lehman had no time to judge at all, so he had time to make a move to save to the right with all his strength... In fact, Lehmann didn't even see clearly. The ball went in from there!

And just as his save was about to end, something worse happened to the German team - a tingling came from the moment the old urchin's right arm landed, and then soon Lyman felt that his arm could not be raised... "...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 peak of the game turned around, and the England team saw hope!"

"...hey? What happened on the court? Lehman... Is Lehman injured? The German goalkeeper was injured, which was a huge blow to them! The penalty shootout was interrupted... The team doctor has entered the field. I don't know if Lehman can still stick to the game..."

"... Lyman can't hold on to the game. He was helped out by the team doctor!! The German team must be replaced. Fortunately, they still have a replacement quota!! The second goalkeeper Enck replaced Lehman... This is really a scene that no one expected... In the penalty shootout, the German team is in trouble!!"

... After a short period of chaos, the fourth round began!

After Borowski's penalty and Lehman's injury, the German team's advantage seems to be very weak, and the German fan camp in the stands has become silent... The fourth penalty kick of the German team is Flins.

Frings is the main midfielder of Wenda Bremen and the team's first penalty kicker. German fans cheered after seeing Flynns walking to the penalty spot. The long-headed man was obviously very trusted by the Germans.

Force - Flins runs, and then kicks the ball out... "... 80% probability of the lower right corner, half-high ball..."

Joe Hart's brain flashed like lightning through the information written on Li Tongfan's information for him, like the last time, he pedaled to the right... Bang!

Football was blocked by Joe Hart without any suspense!

"...OH?? NO! NO...NO...NO!!!! Joe Hart saved the German penalty again, which may be the turning point of the game..."

Soon, in the excitement of English fans, England's fourth penalty player slowly moved to the penalty spot - James Milner!

Li Tongfan chose him because Milner came on as a substitute and was full of physical energy... More importantly, he was also one of the players who could maintain the [Superman state]. Compared with Lampard, who repeatedly missed penalty kicks in the competition, Lao Li believes more in the judgment of the FM system.

Sure enough, Milner sent the football into the goal with an extremely calm push shot in the middle of the German goalkeeper Enck, who had not had time to warm up!

British commentator Sester went crazy: "The goal is scored!! It's in!! 2:2! Now that the two teams are on the same starting line, I think this is the crazy Li's penalty player's choice that has played a magical role..."

Partner Reinkel curled his lips and thought: Crazy Li's penalty selection also missed the first two penalty kicks... After the first four rounds, the air in the Ernst-Happel Stadium became sticky!

England lost the first two penalty kicks, and the German, who had always been invincible in penalty kicks, lost the last two penalty kicks... After five minutes of ups and downs that everyone didn't expect, the two sides actually returned to the same starting line!

The last round determines life and death!

...The fifth round, start!

The penalty player of the German team is the team's leader Michel Barak!

The German fans in the stands put their hands together and prayed devoutly, praying that God could bless the captain to score a penalty! The camera gave Barack a close-up. The core face of the midfielder was firm, and there was no tension... At such a moment of life and death, Joe Hart, who was standing on the goal line, also got a close-up of the broadcast. People were surprised to find that Hart was bending down and taking out a small page of paper from the socks and looked at it carefully. , and then stuffed it back... Seeing this scene, the German commentator curled his lips: "Are you imitating? This is the patent applied for by our German team at the 2006 World Cup..."

On the field.

Barack casually stepped on the football on the tee point, then stepped back five or six meters, quietly waiting for the referee to blow the whistle of the free throw.

Forced - bang!

The football shoots at the upper corner of the left side of the goal like a shell. This is a typical Barak-style shot, full of strength, momentum and confidence... An almost perfect shot!

But there was only exclamations on the Ernst Hapel Stadium... Because Joe Hart jumped up with small steps like a spring on the soles of his feet, and stretched out the football out of the crossbar with a dazzling posture!

A more perfect save!

... The last referee corner kick for England was also the team's leader and captain David Beckham. This time, Beckham's face is still marked by the surname. Like the relaxed Barack just now, as the captain, Beckham can't let others see his nervous side!

From the circle to the penalty point, David Beckham took the eyes of these countless Englishmen for several "centions". Behind him, the German captain Barak, who tore his hair with a blank face, was a Tears-jerman fan in the stands, a breathless English fan... gently Kiss the [European Pass], then step on the already loose turf near the penalty spot with your foot, and then carefully arrange the football... At this moment, the whole world is watching this handsome man!

"...David Beckham! England's best captain is now standing at the penalty spot. This will be a shot that determines the fate of both sides and a shot that determines the ownership of the 2008 European Cup champion! If Beckham beats football, then England will make history! For the first time in the history of the Three Lions Generals, the Delaone Cup was raised..."

"... This is the moment to make history. This is the most precious penalty in the history of the England team... It can be imagined that the pressure on Beckham bears is that if the penalty is missed, there is no doubt that Beckham will become the sinner referred to by thousands of people!"

"... In normal times, the superstars on the court can complete the penalty shoot in a thousand ways, but at this moment, only real heroes have the courage to go to the penalty point... If you want to be a hero, technology, physical strength, perseverance... are indispensable..."

The German fans in the stands booed desperately to distract Beckham's attention!

And all the Englishmen couldn't help holding their breath, and even their hearts forgot to beat, quietly waiting for this shot!

Force - the last whistle of the whole game finally sounded!

Beckham turned his head and looked at his teammate standing behind him, and the black figure standing on the side of the field smiling and looking at him, exhaling a long breath of turbidity... Then, he began to run!

The German boos reached the maximum in an instant!

Beckham quickly skimmed the penalty area line like the wind, and a second later, his instep had touched the football... Bang!

On the goal line, the substitute German goalkeeper Enck saved to the right with all his strength, because the team's goalkeeper coach Hank gave him a small note clearly said: Beckham, accustomed to the right foot, used to the penalty move... accustomed to the direction... but... there was no imaginary powerful shot, [European pass] Jumping up like a hot air balloon full of hydrogen, a beautiful and deadly curved rainbow bloomed on the green of the Ernst-Hapel Stadium on July 4th... The small football carried the dreams of countless English fans and sank into the back of the German team's goal line little by little, and the goalkeeper Enck although I have tried my best to adjust the center of gravity of my body, but I can only watch the football float over my body... Spoon penalty?

At this time, it turned out to be a spoon penalty?

In the quiet and terrible court at this moment, only the blonde man held his hands high and accepted the worship of the world... The teammates in the circle of the court rushed at him... The Englishman in the stands went crazy... The commentator Sester opened his mouth and shouted, "Champion! England..."
