The Era of Emerald

ps1: This is the recommended update for 27, and the next update will be recommended for 28. I hope you will support me a lot...

ps2: The person who asked for a recommendation ticket here said that free books do not require you to spend money, so it should be no problem to give more recommendation tickets, right?We are here thank you~

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.

"Damn! Did you make a mistake?" Seeing that his goal was disallowed by the referee, Inzaghi, who was extremely depressed, kicked the turf, splashing a piece of debris, "Yap (Stam) You kid is really too cunning, you can actually make me offside at this time..."

That's right, if Stam hadn't taken half a step forward just right at the moment Vieri passed the ball, leaving Inzaghi in the offside position, then the Netherlands may have been eliminated from the European Cup now!

Hearing Inzaghi's unwilling words, Stam didn't say much, just smiled honestly, patted Inzaghi on the shoulder, and walked towards the gate of his side.After all, the game is not over yet, and there is no room for Stam to be careless.Stam doesn't think his luck can always be so good, and he can succeed in consecutive offsides.

If he makes a mistake and his teammates seize the opportunity to score, the team will be eliminated from the European Cup by Italy!

However, with less than 1 minute left before the end of overtime, Stam's worries are really superfluous.Not long after Inzaghi's goal was called offside and the first goal was invalidated, Merck blew the whistle for the end of overtime, marking the semi-finals of this much-anticipated European Cup, and finally entered the brutal The penalty shootout stage!

"Shit, I was really scared to death just now. Fortunately, it was an offside ball. Otherwise, if I was eliminated like this, it would be really aggrieved." Li was in a cold sweat after being shocked by Inzaghi's offside goal just now. While crossing himself to thank God, Jekaard took the list from his assistant and began to arrange the order of the penalty kickers.

At this moment, Rijkaard's heart can be said to be quite uncertain.You know, from the moment the Netherlands became a football powerhouse, this tulip country has performed extremely hard on penalty kicks!

That's right, although they have emerged penalty shooters like Neeskens and Van Basten in the past few decades, in every penalty shootout, the Netherlands often becomes the losing side-so far So far, the Oranje has experienced a total of three penalty shootouts in the World Cup and the European Cup, all of which took place in the last eight years. However, the Netherlands did not win a game and lost to Denmark (European Cup in 92), France ( European Cup in 96) and Brazil (World Cup in 98), can be called the most bitter existence among the football powers.You know, although Italy is also not good at taking penalty kicks, and they often fall on twelve yards. The Rose Bowl in 94 is the best example, but the Apennines have at least tasted the taste of victory in a penalty shootout!

Coupled with the strange phenomenon that the team missed three consecutive penalty kicks in the previous game, Rijkaard was even more upset.Therefore, when determining the team's kickers and order of appearance, Black Swan had no choice but to call all his players to his side, and prepared to listen to their opinions to determine the final kick order.

The action on the Italian side was relatively straightforward. The old Maldini, who had been prepared for this, swiped his pen and finished writing 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 from both sides stood on the court again under the organization of Merck, waiting for the penalty shootout!

Since captain Paolo Maldini won the first penalty for the Italian team in the previous coin guessing session, the first player to take a penalty kick was Di Biagio from Inter Milan.

Facing Van der Sar, who was waiting in full force on the goal line, the midfielder did not show the slightest hesitation or hesitation. With a strong volley, he kicked the ball into the upper left corner of the goal, one to zero!

After Di Biagio scored the first point in the penalty shootout for Italy, the first Dutch player to take the penalty came out from the crowd and walked towards the twelve yard point with a serious face past!

"The first player in the Netherlands to take a penalty kick was their captain Frank De Boer." The commentator looked at De Boer, who was obviously not confident, and said jokingly, "Look at his appearance, Those who don’t know may think that he is going to die heroically.”

At this time, De Boer, who was standing on the penalty spot, was fiddling with the ball while secretly looking at Toldo's expression, as if he wanted to see something from his face.In his opinion, if he can find some signs or flaws from Toldo's actions, then he can take this penalty kick with more confidence!

It's a pity that facing De Boer, the defeated player, Toldo didn't show any flaws, and he looked very relaxed, and even jumped in front of the goal twice in the mood. Added a lot of pressure!

As a result, De Boer, who found nothing, had to give up this little abacus, retreated a short distance, and then went straight to the run-up, kicked his foot and shot the middle of the goal!De Boer judged based on his rich game experience that Toldo would definitely choose to pounce on both sides of the goal, and would never stick to the middle on 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 shocked De Boer was that Toldo did not act as he expected, but fell to the ground immediately when he shot the ball, and chose to save the middle!

Under such circumstances, needless to say, De Boer's shot was blocked by Toldo without any suspense, and this was also the fourth consecutive penalty missed by the Dutch team in this game !

Seeing that De Boer fell on the penalty kick for the second time in a row, the scene and the audience sitting in front of the TV watching the game were suddenly in an uproar.Although the Netherlands is not good at penalty kicks, it is too exaggerated to miss four consecutive goals in one game, right?

"Toldo! Once again he saves the penalty from Frank de Boer! Toldo was amazing tonight! The goalkeeper for Fiorentina played high and low blocks to keep the goal clean, And also saved four consecutive penalty kicks from the Dutch team, including a penalty kick in overtime!" Although De Boer's expression of no confidence could vaguely guess the ending, but When this fact was in front of him, the commentator still couldn't hide his excitement, "If Italy finally eliminates the Netherlands in the penalty shootout and advances to the final of the European Cup, I think Coach Maldini must take his head off. Credit goes to Toldo! Without his god-like performance tonight, Italy would never have survived to the penalty shootout!"
