The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 384 We Can Win

No matter who leaves the field, the game must continue. Although the fans of the Brazilian team who bookmark this site have a little premonition in their hearts, after all, the team is still leading now, so they are not too worried.

Robinho, who replaced Ricardo, also appeared to be quite a general. He could hold the ball and play the ball in the frontcourt, and quickly helped the Brazilian team stabilize the situation.

Seeing that the Brazilian team once again took the initiative and the upper hand, they suffered another blow in the 58th minute.

Emerson also strained his thigh when passing the ball in midfield!

He is replaced by Gilberto Silva.

"The Brazilian team was unlucky today, and two of their main players were injured. Although they are still ahead in the score, the Italian's offense is still quite threatening," the commentator said with a smile. To reverse the luck of the Brazilian team?"

At this time, the old fox Lippi also changed. He also replaced two people, Perotta and Totti. They were replaced by De Rossi and Iaquinta.

De Rossi's replacement of Perotta is a match-up substitution. Totti played as a midfielder today, but Iaquinta is a tall center forward. Lippi discovered the weakness of the Brazilian team in defending high-altitude balls. , targeted changes made.

His substitutions worked in one fell swoop.

In the 63rd minute, Italy got a free kick and Pirlo took the penalty. He kicked the ball to the front point, Iaquinta snatched the header and slammed it back. The football passed through the crowd and flew straight to the back point.

"Groso Goal!!! After opening the door to victory for Italy against Germany in the last game, this time he scored a key goal for Italy! The Italians equalized the score!" the commentator roared.

"Overall, today's Brazilian team played better, firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, and had a lot of good sports opportunities, and led twice by Ricciardo's two genius performances. But the Italians used two A set-piece equalized the score!"

"Cafu made a fatal mistake. He relaxed his marking on Grosso, allowing Grosso to play easily without any interference. This is not a mistake for a player of his level!"

Pereira's face immediately elongated, and he snorted dissatisfiedly.

The defense of the Brazilian team is actually not bad, but today it seemed to be caught by a demon, two main players were injured and they lost two points from set kicks. This kind of small probability event has been encountered by the Brazilian team.

Ricardo glanced at Grosso, who was celebrating, with a gloomy expression. It is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry to lose the lead he created himself. But there is nothing he can do now.

He buried his face deeply in his palms. Not crying, just feeling sorry for myself.

At this moment, he has lost confidence in whether the team can win the championship.

After losing the ball, Brazil started a crazy counterattack.

In the 64th minute, Ronaldinho received a cross from Robinho, broke into the penalty area, past Cannavaro, and shot with his foot, but Buffon saved his powerful shot.

One minute later, Robinho dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Cannavaro, but Kaka actively counter-robbed the ball again and shot 20 meters away from the goal, but it went slightly wide.

After 3 minutes, Kaka's long shot was high again.

In the 70th minute, Roberto Carlos and Ronaldinho made several consecutive passes and then volleyed with the instep, which was higher than the crossbar.

"Brazil's offensive is very fierce, and Italy is very passive," said the commentator. "The Brazilians were not hindered because of Ricardo and Emerson's injuries and left the field, nor were their morale frustrated by conceding the ball. In terms of strength, it is indeed higher than Italy."

"But attacking is not enough, Brazil have to find a way to score.

Adriano almost disappeared during this period. After Ricardo left the field, there was no spark between Adriano and Robinho. "

"It's time for Pereira to think of a way. He still has the last substitution. The Brazilian team's bench is full of talents. It's enough to turn the situation around. It depends on how Pereira plays his last card."

As the Italians gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Brazilian team, and as the Brazilians' physical fitness gradually depleted, the two sides returned to a balance of power.

The football is intercepted back and forth in the midfield, and it is difficult for either side to break into the opponent's penalty area.

Time gradually passed.

Before the regular time ran out, Lippi the Silver Fox used up his last card, replacing Camoranesi with Del Piero.

It seems that he also wants to make a last-ditch effort and does not want to be dragged into overtime.

But at this time Pereira chose to be conservative. He ordered a full recovery, and the Brazilian used his skillful feet to firmly control the ball in his own half, eating up the regular game time.

Both sides can only enter overtime.

The team did not enter the locker room, but took a short break on the sidelines.

Pereira took the time to arrange his tactics. When the overtime started, Juninho Jr. came on the stage. He replaced Kaka who was injured a little during the fight.

The game restarted, and Kaka sat beside Ricardo, clenched his fists nervously.

"Can we win?"

"I don't know." Ricardo looked at the court intently.

Ronaldinho and Robinho made a wall-to-wall coordination and then broke into the penalty area, pushing with his right foot and slightly wide of the post.

Junior Juninho distributed the ball to the right, Cafu made a pass, and Adriano shook his head from close range to attack the goal. Buffon reacted very quickly and held the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

Ricardo almost jumped up to celebrate the goal, but in the end he could only squeeze his fists and sit down again.

"What will happen to you if we lose?" Licado asked suddenly.

Kaka frowned: "I don't think we will lose."

Licado sighed: "I mean if."

"Then..." Kaka thought for a while, "Maybe I will cry. Don't think about it, and trust your teammates. We are stronger and we can win!"

In the first half of overtime, the Italians didn't get any chances. Although the Brazilian team got several good chances, they didn't seize them.

The two sides quickly switched places and entered the second half of overtime.

The Brazilians started to recover and the Italians started to attack.

This is also the norm in overtime. Due to physical problems, each team can basically only attack half of the game.

Pirlo's corner kick almost spun directly into the goal, Roberto Carlos headed the ball on the line to clear the ball, and De Rossi's long-range shot from the outside went wide.

At the last minute, Pirlo launched a long pass, Tony unloaded the ball in the penalty area, kicked up and fired directly, the ball flew high and flew into the stands.

At the end of the 120-minute game, the two sides entered a brutal penalty shootout!

This is a breathless moment!

The Italian has lost three previous World Cup penalty shootouts.

The most recent time was the World Cup in 1994. In the Rose Bowl, they left Baggio sadly behind.

After 12 years, will the past repeat itself?
