Chapter 268 Glory Belongs to China

"Messi missed the penalty kick. Zeng Cheng's judgment was quite accurate. Just like the first penalty kick, Messi still chose the lower right corner. Unexpectedly, Zeng Cheng also chose this direction again. Messi knelt down. He was Pay off the debt for that penalty kick just now!”

"The Chinese team now takes the initiative!"

Huang Jianxiang shouted in a hoarse voice; "Now, it's Gao Lin's turn."

"If Gao Lin can score this goal, Argentina will be under great pressure."

Gao Lin licked his lips and walked a little hastily. It could be seen that his mentality was anxious. At this time, there are almost no people who can be as calm as Dong Fangzhuo.

The Argentine goalkeeper was still waving his arms quickly in front of the goal, trying to interfere with Gao Lin's shot.

Gao Lin didn't want to suffer at the penalty spot for a moment, so he stepped out of the penalty area to run.

When the referee's whistle blew, he immediately rushed to the ball without even looking at the goal.

This is the safest way he thinks, he doesn't want to be interfered by the goalkeeper!

call--

The ball he pulled out with great force flew into the stands.

"this……"

"Oh, I'm so nervous!"

"Gao Lin was under too much pressure and he couldn't release the pressure on himself."

In the stands, the Chinese fans were silent, but no one opened their mouth to curse Gao Lin...

The moment Gao Lin missed the penalty kick, he was already crying...

He doesn’t want to either, he also wants to score goals!

Dong Fangzhuo immediately stepped forward and silently hugged him.

But there was cheers from the Argentina side, and they were so excited that Gao Lin missed the penalty kick. This meant that if Biglia, who came on second, could score a penalty kick, they could regain their disadvantage.

30 seconds later, their dream came true, as Biglia calmly sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

The two sides returned to the same starting line 1:1.

"The story of what happened at the penalty spot,

We can never predict... The next player for the Chinese team will be Zhao Xuri. Zhao Xuri has a big heart, and his confidence should be higher. "

Zhao Xuri took a deep breath and took very rhythmic steps. Halfway through the run, he paused for half a second, then rushed forward and shot, but the goalkeeper jumped in the opposite direction.

"Beautiful! 2:1! The Chinese team takes the lead again."

"Everyone says that Zhao Xuri is a good kid. He is very stable in such big scenes."

"Argentina's third player is Oyerman."

As a result, Oyermann also shot the ball in and the score was evened again.

"The score is 2:2!"

"Chen Tao appears for the fourth time!"

"Chen Tao, who suffered cramps in this game, is still standing here. He shoulders the important task of being the fourth Chinese team to take penalty kicks."

Chen Tao stood in front of the penalty kick and deliberately turned the ball twice. This small movement made him look like he wasn't that nervous. If you are too nervous, you may not even be able to play the ball!

He took four steps back.

When taking a run-up shot, his body tilted very low to the left, as if he was going to shoot to the left, but the goalkeeper didn't believe it, thinking that Chen Tao was deliberately confusing him, so he rushed to the right.

Whoosh——

The ball kicked by Chen Tao was a spoon!

Spoon in the middle!

"Ah, spoon, the ball went in!"

"He is so courageous that he dares to kick a spoon penalty! Is he paying tribute to Dong Fangzhuo? Dong Fangzhuo also scored a spoon penalty in England, but he dared to kick a spoon in the World Youth Championship semi-finals, Chen Tao, you You are too brave!"

"Chen Tao, he is destined to become a star in the future!"

Ha, Dong Fangzhuo shrugged and was frightened by Chen Tao. He had never considered kicking the spoon just now. In such a game, he just wanted to use a thunderous goal to inject passion and power into the team. He had to admire Chen Tao...

You know, if the ball is saved, he will probably be scolded bloody after the game. At a critical moment, he will definitely be scolded to death for showing off such footwork. But success is different now.

The fourth player from Argentina was Barroso. Zeng Cheng also imitated the Argentinian goalkeeper and kept slapping his arms, but Barroso's mental quality was obviously also very strong, and he actually hit the top corner! This is something different!

The score is 3:3, and the two sides still have no winner!

The mission was left to Zhou Haibin. It was said that this general had the most calm demeanor and he was the last one.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Haibin.

Zhou Haibin wiped his sweat. No matter how calm he was, he would still be under tremendous pressure at this time.

Being able to nod to take the fifth penalty kick is the most courageous performance in itself. Not everyone dares to do this, but Zhou Haibin took it. In this World Youth Championship, his performance was not so brilliant, but One of the players to have played all minutes so far.

call,

call,

call,

He took three consecutive breaths and finally rushed towards the ball.

He chose the lower left corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper pounced in the right direction.

"ah!"

"Ding--"

The ball hit the post and came out!

He was chasing the angle of the ball too much...

The result of pursuing angles too much is this nightmare result.

Zhou Haibin covered his face on the spot and stopped looking at the world.

Why is this happening!

At that moment, his heart was almost torn. He felt that he could not face his teammates or the fans all over China.

When he weakly walked back to the midline, Dong Fangzhuo supported him. Zhou Haibin was already in pain and had tears in his eyes.

"it's okay no problem."

"Just a penalty."

"Oh, Xiao Zhou..."

"This ball was just a little bit off. He didn't perform abnormally, he just pursued the angle too much. How can I put it well? It was a little bit unlucky. It doesn't matter, we still have a chance. As long as Paletta can't shoot in, we will still be in a draw. …”

Huang Jianxiang can only say this to comfort the fans and friends in front of the TV.

One minute later...

Buzz…

That year, June 28, 2005,

They were once so close to the World Youth Championship finals. They tried their best, but they still stopped in the semi-finals and failed to enter the finals.

Victory was stolen by the Argentines.

But they didn't fail, they just lost to the referee, to Messi's fictitious penalty kick, and to themselves.

If Messi doesn’t dive,

If Dong Fangzhuo’s goal is not cancelled,

If their physical fitness could be better,

If Zhou Haibin's ball is scored,

There are no ifs in this world, and the same is true in football.

That day, hundreds of millions of Chinese fans cried with them.

That day was the most profound memory of their youth, and everything was watered with tears.

From that day on, they began to grow again.

Football, for them, is just the beginning, not the end!

"Although we lost the penalty kick, the glory belongs to China! And the shame of victory is left to Argentina and Messi!"
