ps3: Let me talk about the book friend group here, the group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verified answer is ntr knight, um, that's it.

Like the previous nine 10-minute games, in overtime, the Netherlands and Italy still played one offense and one defense on the court, conducting an eye-opening half-court offensive and defensive drill.

There wasn't much to say about the overtime matchup between the two teams, except for two things that had to be mentioned here.One is that in the 110th minute of the game, history changed again. Overmars, who was accidentally knocked down in the penalty area by Cannavaro, won another penalty for the Netherlands. The third penalty of the game!

Seeing that the referee awarded three penalties to the Dutch team in this game, almost all the fans were dumbfounded. No one thought that Merck would have such courage and guts on this occasion!

After all, regardless of whether Merck’s penalty is reasonable or not, he dared to award three penalties to a team in the semi-finals of the European Cup, especially if one of the penalties occurred in overtime when the winner was determined by one goal The referees in the stage are almost rare, and it is still such an important occasion as the European Cup semi-finals, so the referees who dare to do this are naturally even rarer.

Of course, if someone insists that there are thick-skinned people like Moreno and Gandur, then I have nothing to say.

Beckenbauer, who appeared in the stadium stands to watch the game, also saw the penalty from Merck, but unlike the last semi-final, this time the Football Emperor nodded appreciatively.Unlike the ambiguous penalty that the French team got against Portugal, this time Overmars was tripped by Cannavaro who was defending him in the penalty area. Condition.

Therefore, although the Dutch winger was suspected of acting during and after the fall, Merck awarded the Netherlands the third penalty without hesitation!

Seeing that the referee awarded the Netherlands a penalty again, the Italian fans were naturally very dissatisfied with this, and they would not care whether Merck's penalty was correct or not because they were emotional.In their eyes, the German who gave the Oranje three penalties was undoubtedly blowing the whistle!

As a result, bursts of boos broke out in the stands of the Amsterdam Arena. Obviously, these voices were directed at the referee Merck.

The Italian fans were quite conscientious and did not classify Merck as a black whistle, because no matter how dissatisfied they were, it could be seen that the Germans did not actually favor any side.So their booing, in addition to venting their dissatisfaction, is more to create psychological pressure on the Dutch player who is about to take the penalty kick!

After missing two consecutive penalty kicks in the game, the Dutch players obviously had a lot of psychological shadow on the penalty kick, so when Merck asked who would take the penalty kick, it turned out that no one was willing to go into battle embarrassing situation.

Finally, after a while of pushing and urgent consultation, Kluivert walked reluctantly to the twelve yard point to start a second face-to-face confrontation with Toldo!

The entire Dutch team had a psychological shadow on the penalty kick, and Kluivert was no exception.No, this time the latter obviously lacked enough confidence and courage when kicking the penalty kick. Not only was the power of the shot weak, but the angle was not tricky. Down!

It was the third consecutive penalty from the Netherlands. Toldo, who stood up from the turf with the ball in his arms, roared with excitement. His teammates all rushed towards him with excitement, and they all forgot about the game for a while Haven't entered the dead ball yet, the Dutch can take advantage of their celebration at any time to fish in troubled waters!

However, it is obvious that after witnessing the weird situation of missing three penalty kicks in a row, the Dutch players are not in the mood to touch this fish at this time.Especially Kluivert, who was sweating profusely. The Dutch center was looking at the Italian goal with a confused face at this time, wondering what happened to him today, why the ball couldn't be kicked in?

In addition to the Dutch penalty, another thing that needs to be mentioned happened at the end of the game.

At the end of overtime, Maldini Sr. used up the last substitution that had been held in his hands and replaced Antonio Kong with Philippe Inzaghi, who had been on the bench for almost the entire game. Dee, obviously preparing for the penalty shootout that is about to start.After all, compared to Antonio Conte, who is a defensive midfielder and can't score a few goals in a season, Inzaghi is obviously more reliable in penalty kicks.

Seeing the old Maldini's gesture of substitution, Inzaghi, who had been impatiently on the bench for a long time, jumped up.I saw that Pipo, who had already warmed up, and Antonio Conte high-fived each other on the sidelines, and rushed onto the court impatiently!

Dutch players including Davis and Stam didn't pay much attention to Inzaghi's playing. The ball is still in their hands, so no matter how you look at it

However, it was the contemptuous attitude of the Dutch players that made the Oranje almost overturned in the gutter at the end of the overtime game: Overmars' breakthrough was blocked by Maldini and Di Livio. The ball's Italian captain accurately found Vieri's head with a long pass from the backcourt!

Under Stam's close marking, Vieri steadily unloaded the ball from the air, and then knocked the ball backwards with the heel of his left foot with his back to the goal, and knocked the ball to the big man who had inserted quietly. Inzaghi!

After receiving Vieri's wonderful back-heel pass, Dainzaghi directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area, volleyed directly before Van der Sar attacked, and sent the ball into the goal of the Dutch team!

There was a dead silence in the stands of the Amsterdam Arena, and the Dutch fans couldn't believe their eyes—in such a blink of an eye, their gate was broken by this striker who hadn't even played a minute?

However, just when Dainzaghi was about to run to the sidelines to take off his clothes to celebrate, he suddenly found that the referee did not declare the goal valid, but made an action he was very familiar with...

"Oh! Look what we saw? The referee Merck signaled that Inzaghi's goal was offside first, and the goal was invalid! Impossible? Even the linesman didn't signal Inzaghi to be offside, what did Merck think? It came out..." The commentator was also extremely shocked by Merck's penalty at this time, and quickly checked the slow-motion replay, "Let's take a look at the game replay... It's amazing! It's amazing! Slow motion shows that Vieri At the moment of passing the ball, Inzaghi just landed half a body behind Stam! Merck's penalty is no problem!"

In this way, under the watchful eyes of Inzaghi and the Italian players, Merck blew off Pipo's offside goal extremely calmly!
