The Day I Played with Ronaldo

"The two sides will have a penalty shootout, which is not surprising," the commentator said. "Many experts analyzed before the game that the two teams are likely to draw. What is surprising is the process of the game. The Brazilian team took the lead twice. Italy tenaciously equalized twice. With a score of 2:2, the two sides scored a total of 4 goals, which is considered a big score in the history of World Cup finals."

"The two sides took a short break, the head coach taught the opportunity face to face, and the penalty shootout began soon. But at this time, the head coach can't play any role. The competition is the psychological quality and luck of the players on both sides."

The penalty order for the Brazilian team has been determined. Ronaldinho is the first to take the penalty. He is currently the best penalty shooter in the team. Next came Lucio, then Adriano, Ze Roberto and finally Roberto Carlos.

It is a pity that Ricardo, Kaka and Emerson are not present, all three of them are good penalty shooters.

All the players of the Brazilian team came near the midfield, and everyone put their shoulders on each other, showing the image of unity and solidarity.

After the captains of both sides guessed coins, it was finally determined that Italy would take the penalty kick first.

Pirlo went to the penalty spot first, and Dida stood in front of the goal.

The two of them are also old teammates, and they are very familiar with each other. But meeting each other on penalties was a new experience for both of them.

Pirlo took a deep breath, ran up, and kicked out quickly. Dida threw himself sideways to his right. The football flew to the middle! The ball goes in. 1:0.

Ronaldinho goes to the penalty spot, Buffon comes to the goal. The two had never met before in club competitions and were relatively strangers to each other.

Ronaldinho didn't play tricks, and honestly kicked the ball to the bottom right corner. Buffon jumped in the wrong direction and scored. 1:1.

Italy's next appearance is Materazzi, who is also very familiar with Dida. Inter Milan will play against AC Milan every season.

He took a deep breath, started the run-up with no expression on his face, and pushed the ball with his left foot into the lower right corner. Dida swooped in the right direction but missed the ball. 2:1.

Lucio stepped up to the penalty spot, he took a powerful shot, the football flew to the center, Buffon jumped to the left, and the ball went in. 2:2.

De Rossi played third for the Italian team. Dida is also very familiar with him, he must change his previous free throw strategy. He stood in front of the ball for a long time, appearing hesitant. It took a while after the referee blew the whistle before he started his run-up and shot the ball into the upper left corner. Dida jumped in the wrong direction.

Adriano is the third Brazilian team to play. He usually looks very confident, but his expression is a bit bleak at this time. After the referee whistled, he started slowly, accelerated to the ball, and shot with his left foot. ...hitting on the crossbar and popping.

3:2!

After finishing the shot, he knelt down with his head in his hands in disbelief. But when he returned to the midfield, no one in the Brazilian team blamed him. Ricardo barely controlled his emotions, patted him and comforted him: "No one dares to say that he can score 100%, so don't blame yourself. We wait Come on, Italians make mistakes too."

Can Italians make mistakes? I hope so. Think about Baggio... It seems that the possibility of Italian mistakes is not small.

In the 4th round, Del Piero played on behalf of Italy. Of course, he and Dida couldn't be more familiar with each other. He chose an unexpected free throw, he kicked a spoon! Pirlo had already kicked the ball to the middle once before, and no one thought that he would dare to kick the ball to the middle, and he was still a slow spoon.

According to Del Piero's past history of free throws, Dida rushed to the lower right corner, and realized something was wrong when his body flew out, but he didn't have a rocket booster to help him adjust his direction, so he could only watch the football slow down. Swallowed and flew into the net.

4:2.

Ze Roberto came on, he chose to volley vigorously and scored the ball into the upper right corner. 4:3!

The ball that determined the fate of the Brazilian came.

Grosso carefully walks up to the penalty spot with the football in his arms.

Countless eyes fell on him.

Grosso can be said to be the biggest discovery of Italy's current cup. Before that, he was unknown. When he played against Australia, he made a penalty in the last minute of the game. He was praised by Lao Huang as "the great Italian left back! He has inherited the glorious tradition of Italy. Facchetti, Cabrini, and Maldini are possessed by their souls at this moment! Grosso alone represents the long history and tradition of Italian football. At this moment, he is not alone People are fighting, he is not alone!"

After that, he fought more and more bravely, scored a key goal against Germany, and equalized the score for Italy for the second time in today's game.

And now he will take this crucial penalty.

If he scored, the Italians would win the World Cup and the Brazilians would go home.

If he misses, there is still suspense and the penalty shootout will continue.

Can he make free throws?

"Italy's player is Grosso. If he scores this goal, Italy will win this World Cup," the commentator's throat tightened. "This player is not well-known, and it is his first time to participate in a major competition. He will be nervous." Gotta make mistakes? Can he handle the pressure?"

Grosso, who is 29 years old this year, has been playing for low-level teams until he was 24 years old. He moved to Serie A Perugia at the age of 24, but at the age of 27, he joined the Serie B team Barcelona. Lemo, and successfully upgraded with the team.

This player can be described as a representative of a late bloomer. He has never played for a giant before. He only completed his national team debut at the age of 26, and he is only a marginal figure in the national team.

But in this World Cup, he became famous in one battle! In another time and space, he joined Inter Milan after the World Cup.

If this trend develops, he will soon become Ricardo's teammate.

But Ricardo really hated this future teammate so much that he gritted his teeth.

Kick it! Kick it! Kick it! Let the football fly for a while!

The referee whistled and Grosso started to run.

At the age of 29, he has been playing for low-level teams and Serie A relegation teams. His career has not been full of ups and downs, and he has not seen any big storms. This is his first time participating in a major competition, but his mentality is rock-solid. This is the result of many years of experience.

How is he feeling at the moment? What thoughts flashed through his mind?

Nobody knows.

But he made a steady run.

I'm just a little guy with no name.

This is my first World Cup and it will definitely be my last.

So I will never leave regrets.

I will use all my light and heat to bloom at this moment.

The entire career is concentrated in this moment.

I'm not like you big stars, who have all kinds of highlight moments, career highlights that can be cut out for hours, in Derby, in the Champions League, scoring memorable goals in various major competitions.

The brightest moment of my career is now.

Grosso ran up to the ball and shot with his left foot. Dida dives to the left and the ball flies to the right.

In the eyes of everyone, the football hit the net and set off white waves.

The audience is boiling.

The dust settled.
