Chapter 107 Valerio, it's like training
Overtime!
The players from both sides who had fought on the court for 90 minutes were obviously exhausted. Although AC Milan equalized the total score at the last moment and their morale was high, the morale could not be transformed into physical strength. Even Degan couldn't run at the moment.
Although both sides wanted to kill their opponents in overtime, it was obviously not easy to do so. After attacking with the last bit of strength, Ancelotti and Rijkaard unanimously chose to defend and counterattack , No one wants to cause the team to lose because of a little negligence.
This time Degan did not refute Ancelotti's decision. Obviously, it is the best decision to choose defense and play it safe at this time.
Ronaldinho still wants to attack, but the Samba Elf can no longer run. His physical strength is not good. After 90 minutes of the game, his legs are as heavy as lead. .
In the second half of the extra time, both sides seemed to have no intention of attacking, and they were wasting time tacitly, waiting for the penalty shootout to come.
Seeing that the time came to the last minute, Valdez drove the ball to the frontcourt as if giving up on himself. The ball, which was originally harmless, bounced on the ground and suddenly made the whole Camp Nou boil.
The bouncing football went directly over Stam's head and hit the back of AC Milan's defense. In that position, Ronaldinho, who had disappeared for more than ten minutes in the second half of the Gas game, suddenly appeared.
In the process of running, the ball was gently unloaded with his left foot, and then he swooped towards Milan's goal.
Danger!
Digan ran towards the goal with all his strength, and his physical strength was basically exhausted. At this time, he was still able to run, which was entirely supported by his willpower.
Costacurta stepped forward to make up for the position. The game was at this point, and it was too reluctant for this old courtier of Milan. Fiori also chose to abandon the goal and attack.
At the last moment of the game, there must be no accidents at this time.
"Ronaldinho! He's gone in, it's Barcelona's last chance!"
Costacurta failed to block Ronaldinho, and the samba elf shook lightly, causing Costacurta to lose his center of gravity in an instant and fell to the ground.
The next thing Ronaldinho has to face is Fiore. At this time, he suddenly became very relaxed. He didn't play well in this game, far less sharp than Eto'o, but in this game At the most critical time, the fate of Barcelona is maintained on him.
The body kept shaking, Fiori threw it out, and Ronaldinho pulled the ball horizontally. At this time, he was already directly facing the goal. He pushed the ball lightly, and then he could celebrate.
"Ronaldinho shoots, no one can stop him~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The Nou Camp also sounded the cheers of the Barcelona fans, but the cheers did not last too long, and soon came to an abrupt end.
Just as the football was about to cross the goal line, a foot stretched out, blocking the trajectory of the football, and then~~~~~~
"Kaka! Kaka! It's Kaka! Kaka saved AC Milan! A beautiful defense! Kaka saved AC Milan's hope of survival!"
Degan just ran to the penalty area line at this moment, saw the ball flying towards him, jumped up, kicked the ball with a barb, and then heard the referee's whistle, both regular and stoppage time ended.
Digan struggled to stand up, walked in front of Kaka, stretched out his hand and pulled him up: "Good job! Ricardo!"
Kaka smiled: "I just said, don't leave any regrets!"
Kaka tilted his body. Obviously, when he saved the ball just now, he stretched his thigh muscles, but it didn't look serious.
"Penalty shootout!"
Digan shook his head: "I hate using this kind of gambling to decide the outcome of the game!"
Kaka put his arm around Digan's shoulder and said with a smile, "But we seem to have no other choice!"
The next thing to do is the penalty shootout. Penalty kicks are cruel, so cruel that you can't accept it. In the world of penalty kicks, there are many stories about one ball becoming a god and one ball becoming a monster. Robert. Baggio's lost back, Taffarel cheering is a very typical picture. At this time, no mistakes are allowed. When Ancelotti arranged the order of penalty kicks, Degan walked towards Fiori.
Fiori is a player with very little experience in penalty kicks. Fiori has not been in the position of Milan's main goalkeeper for a long time. In previous games, he has never had experience in penalty shootouts.
At this time, the most problematic part is Fiori. It is not a technical problem, but a mentality problem. If Digan wants to win this game, he must show great confidence in front of Fiore. Only then can Fiore have confidence. This sentence is very convoluted, but if you read it carefully, you will instantly feel that this is actually the case.
"Rod!" When Fiore saw Digan walking towards him, he took the initiative to greet him. Although he pretended to be relaxed, Digan could tell that he was very nervous. Perhaps Fiore had never thought of it before. This scene will happen, and he will decide whether the team lives or dies.
"Nervous? No, no excuses, Valerio, I'm actually nervous too." Digan looked at Fiore and smiled, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "But penalty shootouts are actually That's it! It's no big deal!"
When Fiore saw the strong self-confidence displayed by Degan, he suddenly became quiet, as if as long as you saw Degan's eyes, you would believe him and at the same time believe in yourself.
Digan put his arms around Fiore's shoulder and said, "I'll tell you a secret, I guarantee you will become the absolute star in this penalty shootout, remember when we usually trained?!"
During normal training, there is naturally penalty kick training. As the team's No. 3 goalkeeper, Fiori naturally has to undertake more work at this time.
Digan continued: "That's right! Just like in normal training, take it easy, don't just appreciate the outcome, Valerio! You won! You are a hero! Lost! No one will blame you!"
No one will blame!
Fiore smiled, yes! Digan is right. He was originally the team's No. 3 goalkeeper. If Dida and Karachi hadn't been injured, it would have been impossible for him to guard the city gate for AC Milan. Who would hold too much for a No. 3 goalkeeper? expectations?
