"No, this is not a penalty kick, this cannot be a penalty kick!" White rushed to the referee, his mentality exploded.
"No handball, no!"
"He's offside! Perrotta was offside just now! Farke!"
"That wasn't intentional, he was pulling back!"
"No, no, you can't give a penalty like this!"
The players of the England team surrounded the referee, but Testri himself stood there with a sad face.
He knew that he did handball the ball.
And the arms are far away from the torso, so it's a penalty anyway.
Sure enough, the referee pushed away the England player, rushed towards Tesri, and showed him a yellow card.
He really didn't mean it, otherwise it would have been a red card.
Penalty kick, no suspense.
The suspense is...who will the Italian team send to take this penalty kick!
"As we all know, the Italian team's penalty kick is a problem." The commentator said, "The former first penalty kicker was Ancarelli, and the second penalty kicker was Perrotta."
"But Ancarelli has missed two consecutive penalties in this European Cup."
"Because of his recent outstanding performance, Lu Yang is said to have won the right to serve the Italian team's penalty kick. But that is only a team rule, and there are still variables as to what it will be like on the court."
"Lu Yang's qualifications determine that he cannot be dominant, and many things have to be discussed with others. Although the result of the free kick in the play-offs was good, the impact it had on the Italian dressing room remains until now. It’s not completely resolved yet.”
"Moreover, the second penalty kicker Perrotta has now scored twice! He even made this penalty himself! Even if Ancarelli takes the penalty kick, Perrotta can still fight for it. Fight for it.”
This commentator was very specific and fair.
Italy's seemingly harmonious dressing room may really fall short because of this penalty kick.
Perrotta immediately looked at Ancarelli and Lu Yang.
I mean, you two, who will come?
Ancarelli shook his head.
"Oh! Ancarelli rejected the penalty! He looked at Lu Yang, did he mean to let Lu Yang take the penalty?"
"Lu Yang walked towards Perrotta, Lu Yang...what was Lu Yang talking to Perrotta?"
"You're only one goal away from a hat trick." Lu Yang looked at Perrotta, not in a hurry to reach out.
Perrotta showed his teeth: "But we are still one goal away from equalizing the score... Don't think that penalty kicks are a good thing. With such great pressure, my legs are already a little weak now."
"I don't want to be the eternal sinner in the Italian team's recovery."
"Originally, I thought there would be nothing to do in this European Cup. But...but you gave me a glimmer of hope, or extravagant hope!"
"We can keep going, right?"
"Promise me that you will definitely score this damn penalty kick. We can't fall here! I may not have the next major competition, and my time to help the Italian team is running out!"
Perrotta's hands were shaking.
The more important something is, the more nervous you will be when you realize that you might get it.
The ideal goal set by Italian fans and the Football Association for this national team is to qualify from the group.
But as players, as top stars like Perrotta, they have only one goal in any competition, and that is... to win the championship!
To the previous Italian team, these two words were nothing but nonsense, so Perrotta, Ancarelli, Prasedes, Bernoulini, Audi and others had long been silent about it.
But not saying it doesn’t mean not thinking about it.
If the score is equalized, there is hope of defeating England.
Once they defeated England, they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup.
At that time, who was not aiming for the championship?
Italy, there is no retreat!
This kind of pressure is something Perrotta, who has never won the Champions League or national team competition in his life, cannot bear.
Because he can't afford to lose!
He may not be in shape to play as the main force in the next competition.
But Lu Yang was different.
If it doesn’t work this time, next time, next time.
Three years, five years, ten years or even fifteen years, Lu Yang still has too much time.
Moreover, Lu Yang is a player with a big heart.
His key ball ability has been praised by several famous players in Roma.
Perrotta believes that Lu Yang is a more suitable penalty taker than him.
Even if he is only one penalty away from a hat trick.
But in the last game, Lu Yang already set a correct example for him, didn't he?
A peck and a drink, could it be a predestined decision.
If Lu Yang tried his best to compete with Ancarelli for points in the last game, then in this game, Perrotta might compete with Lu Yang for a hat trick of personal honor.
Although Lu Yang was the first penalty taker, he couldn't beat Perrotta at this time.
"Okay, then I'll do it!" Lu Yang took the football.
His eyes were firm.
This ball cannot be missed.
So...that's the only way to go!
At this moment, countless Italian fans clenched their fists.
Some people even dare not look at it.
This goal decided the life or death of the Italian team.
Can Lu Yang hold on?
"Perrotta gave up the chance of a hat trick and handed the football to Lu Yang. The Italian team's trusted first penalty kicker stood behind the penalty spot."
"Lu Yang started to retreat."
"The referee blew the whistle to indicate that a penalty point can be taken."
"Lu Yang, trot."
"Maduk is extremely focused. Although he has never saved Lu Yang's shot, his points saving data this season have reached a record high. He is the goalkeeper with the highest success rate in saving points in the Premier League this year!"
"Lu Yang, run faster!"
"Lu Yang... jumped up?"
In full view of everyone, Lu Yang rushed to the penalty spot, swung his leg... and jumped up.
According to the rhythm, he was flying in the air when he should have touched the ball.
The result is that the time to touch the ball is delayed.
This is...a jumping penalty!
How could Marduk have guessed that Lu Yang had such a shameless way of serving!
Isn't this a foul?
This is really not a foul!
Maduk followed the normal rhythm and chose to pounce on his right side, because Lu Yang seemed to hit this corner more often. This was his shooting habit.
So after he made the save, Lu Yang reacted quickly in mid-air and kicked the football to the other side.
This is a jumping penalty, a penalty method that has a very high hit rate but also extremely difficult free throws.
Not everyone can take a jumping penalty.
This penalty kick has several requirements.
First, when jumping, you have to grasp the distance between yourself and the football, as well as the height of your jump.
If something goes wrong, you could jump right onto the football, or leave the kicking distance too short and kick the football away.
Secondly, your brain speed must be very fast, and you must be able to react according to the direction of the opponent's goalkeeper's save and kick the football to the other side.
Not everyone has such a reaction speed. Many people will even be affected by the opponent's goalkeeper's saving actions and actively kick the ball in the direction of the opponent.
Finally, players are also required to have absolutely accurate judgments on the football and goal at their feet, as well as superb shooting skills.
Because when you are observing the opponent's goalkeeper in mid-air, there is no football or goal frame in your eyes, your mind is still thinking about the direction of the kick, and you have no time to think about anything else.
The intention is to kick the left side, but it is easy to happen if it misses the goal frame.
Generally speaking, this way of serving is suitable for masters.
Ordinary players would be better off randomly choosing a side and then kicking a confident shot.
The football hit the net smoothly.
Three to three!
Italy equalized in the final minute of regular time.
Absolutely flat!
"Foul! He fouled!"
"This is illegal!"
"There is no such penalty!"
The English players immediately rushed to the referee, especially Madduk, and firmly complained about such a penalty kick.
However, the referee quickly communicated with the linesman and others, and searched several times in the penalty kick manual of football rules provided by the fourth official, and finally announced that the goal was valid!
This is a legal penalty!
In an instant, the entire stadium was boiling.
"He did it! It's a draw! Lu Yang helped Italy draw England to a draw!"
"The game is about to enter overtime!"
"Italy's ability to chase points is so strong! Whenever it comes to a critical moment, there are always Italian players who can stand up!"
"But no matter who they are, Lu Yang is indispensable beside them and fighting alongside them!"
"The English side are already preparing for substitutions, but their head coach is still communicating with the fourth referee."
"Oh, the referee showed a yellow card to the England coach. The latter was a little too excited. He should return to the game immediately and forget about that amazing penalty kick."
"Lu Yang is really a big-hearted player. His first penalty kick after becoming the first penalty kicker was so tricky, but he completed his performance perfectly!"
"This is his eighth goal in this European Cup! He once again widened the gap with Robery and took a step towards the European Cup Golden Boot."
…
Overtime came as promised.
For the Italian team, Manero thought twice and chose to replace Ancarelli from Canyes and Ancarelli.
The reason is that although Kanyes' defense is not an advantage, he is young, has good physical strength, and can still fight in overtime.
It was difficult for Ancarelli to return to the team's backcourt to help defend in overtime.
Although Ancarelli was a little helpless, he did not show off his face. Instead, he gave Kolber, who had replaced him, a hug.
Kolber did help the Italian team more than Ancarelli in the following period.
Facts have proved that this substitution is no problem.
In the first eight minutes of extra time, England played harder.
But their physical strength has also declined significantly.
In the past, once they started bombarding indiscriminately, they could often last for more than twenty minutes.
But this time it lasted eight minutes and there was a bit of a disconnect in their midfield and backcourt.
Italy therefore took possession of the ball and launched a quick counterattack.
But basically only Perrotta, Kolber, Lu Yang, and Kanyes went to the frontcourt, and the rest were in the midfield and backfield to prevent England from counterattacking.
boom!
Moric quickly passed the ball and sent the football directly to the frontcourt.
And he also exerted a rotational force. When the football fell in the second half, it was fast and fierce, and even spun a little!
This roundabout is extremely spiritual.
Perrotta has always been at the front. Although he was the first to exert force, he still couldn't catch up with the football.
Seeing that the football was about to fall in front of him.
For a speedy striker, receiving the ball directly in front of the goal can be a great option.
But for pillar centers like Perrotta who are obviously unable to succeed, sometimes it is more suitable for them to play with their back to the goal.
If they catch the ball directly towards the goal and continue to dribble, they will be overtaken and overtaken by those behind them.
They came to a complete stop, wasting another one-and-a-half-shot opportunity.
It's embarrassing no matter how you handle it.
This pass with a slight spin fell just in front of Perrotta. Perrotta raised his chest and completed a perfect run to stop the ball.
Due to the awesomeness of the passer, this difficult stop became easier.
Perrotta, who stopped the ball smoothly, did not slow down too much. He rushed directly to the small penalty area.
But Tesri was faster and had already caught up with Perrotta, and began to impose physical confrontation on Perrotta.
However, he didn't notice that there was no football at Perrotta's feet.
It turned out that after Perrotta's tall body received the football, the next step was that he knocked the ball with his heel, knocking the football backwards, and at the same time, he took away Tesri who was not sure why.
boom!
Kolber, who followed closely, came up with a blast.
However, Marduk played extremely well and saved the ball.
Countless Italian fans sighed.
Kolber's shot was wonderful, nothing wrong with it.
Has Marduk taken medicine?
But soon, hope reignited in the eyes of Italian fans.
Because Lu Yang, who started at the same time as Kolber, also entered the small penalty area at this time.
It was him who pulled White away, giving Kolber a chance to hit the goal.
Lu Yang and White had a physical confrontation on the right side of the small penalty area.
At this time, the football saved by Marduk flew towards them.
Kolber's shot was very powerful, and after the football was saved, it was also extremely fast.
Lu Yang turned his back to the goal, subconsciously raised his feet, intercepted the football with a scorpion tail swing, and relieved the football of its power.
The football fell on the spot, not falling very fast.
Lu Yang held White down with both hands, and with the same foot, he quickly retracted the hooked leg from the front of his body in a "flying dance" motion.
This is slower than just lowering the leg.
But it’s faster than putting your legs down and then raising your legs to hit the football.
So, the overall movement became...the movement of a child riding a scooter, one and three-quarters of a circle! Hook your right foot up, then bring it back, then hook it out again.
When he hooked out for the second time, his heel hit the football that was about to land.
The football was knocked out!
Scorpion tail swing + heel shot on the same foot!
Done in one go!
Rich imagination.
This is a situation no one expected at all.
It was outrageous to stop a fast-moving football that was saved, and then immediately connected with the shot... There was absolutely no time to think in between.
It's all just instinct!
It’s all just about skating on a scooter, ah…it’s all about the instinct of playing football!
When the football entered the net, no one, including Madduk, White, Tesri, Kolber, Perrotta and others, knew what was happening.
"Mei... scored twice!"
"GOAL!"
"Italy takes the lead!"
"Four to three! That's crazy!"
"Who would have thought that the Italian team could take the lead in this game!"
"Kolbert's shot was saved by Maduk, but Lu Yang then scored with a supplementary shot!"
"This follow-up shot is the most incredible follow-up shot I have ever seen!"
"I see the shadow of the famous dance "Dunhuang Flying Sky" in this piece!"
"This must be the inspiration brought to Lu Yang by Eastern culture!"
“This is China’s imagination!”
The commentators went wild.
Until Luo Cheng from CCYV5 murmured: "Am I the only one who thinks this action looks a bit familiar?"
Tang Yuqin next to her raised her eyebrows and said, "I remember the scene of my little nephew riding a scooter."
The words woke up the dreamer, and the Chinese fans burst into laughter.
This goal brought great help to Italy.
Because then, they just have to do what they are already good at.
Just like England's defense is not high enough to withstand Perrotta's header.
England's forward line is also not high in altitude.
They gave up their foundation of long passes, but they never thought that one day they would need this tactic to help them chase points.
For a time, many people began to criticize why the England team did not bring a big center this time?
The England coach feels miserable.
First of all, do we in England have that kind of big center who is over 1.9 meters tall?
The Premier League simply doesn't give such a center any room to survive.
What the Premier League wants is speed for everyone on the front line.
Secondly, if the big center can do the fulcrum and pass the ball with his back, can't the little steel gun McLoughlin also do it?
In terms of tactical needs, the small steel cannon can cope with more situations than the large fulcrum, and is more suitable for England.
You all said that Mike Loughlin is England's most perfect center forward, have you forgotten?
Finally, even if there is such a big center, can it really compete with Italy for headers?
Kievich, Bernulini, Prasedes, Lahm, Pellegrini, Lu Yang, this team has too many players taller than 1.85 meters, and flying in the penalty area is absolutely prohibited. district.
The first half of overtime ended.
In the second half, England continued to press furiously.
But they made the same mistake as Portugal.
Plasedes completed a steal outside the penalty area and passed straight to the left side of the ball.
Korbera received the ball from the side and quickly advanced with the ball.
Lu Yang drove straight into England's penalty area at high speed. His speed was much faster than at the beginning, and he got rid of almost everyone by running 100 meters.
Many people were dumbfounded.
They knew that Lu Yang had good physical strength.
But Lu Yang's physical strength was so good that in the second half of the overtime, his speed increased instead of decreasing. This is so outrageous!
boom!
England right back Nervi retracted early, let go of Kolber and rushed towards Lu Yang.
At the same time, Kolber also made a diagonal forward pass to Lu Yang's feet.
Neville had no choice but to foul.
And the place where he committed the foul... was still in his own penalty area!
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle again.
Yellow dot!
boom!
Fans from both sides exploded instantly!
"Why a yellow card? Shouldn't this be a red card?" Italian fans couldn't accept it at all.
"Why another penalty? This is a foul outside the penalty area!" England fans also couldn't accept it.
But as professional fans, especially neutral fans, we can understand this penalty.
Because England is really... so miserable!
There is controversy about the role of referees.
Some people feel that they should maintain absolute fairness on the field.
But some people believe that the referee's biggest role is to maintain the excitement of the game.
These are two completely different views, and even decades later, no one has the absolute advantage.
The head coach made what he thought was the most correct decision in a flash of lightning.
It will neither hurt the vested interests of the Italian team nor leave the English team completely without a chance.
At least... two penalty kicks in succession are enough to make people desperate.
As for the Italian team, Lu Yang didn't care.
The longer the argument goes, the better, and it would be to Italy's advantage to waste game time.
England players know this too.
And they knew that they took advantage of this penalty, so after a few symbolic complaints, the game returned to its normal rhythm.
After the referee got the order under control, he signaled that the Italian team could take a penalty kick.
"Oh! Another penalty kick! But this penalty kick is undisputed. Lu Yang was indeed brought down by Neville in the penalty area."
"The Italian team's counterattack is becoming more and more impactful now!"
"Colber performed very well in this offense. He is worthy of being a young man who came on the bench. Go, go, go!"
"By the way, maybe you haven't noticed, but Lu Yang has already scored twice in this game. If he scores this penalty kick, he will complete an unprecedented hat trick in consecutive European Cups!"
"This is a unique achievement in the history of the European Cup! Not to mention adding various adverbs in front of it, Italy's unique European Cup hat-trick, the youngest European Cup hat-trick, blah, blah, blah!"
The commentator started to get excited, and seemed to think that Lu Yang would definitely be able to score the penalty kick.
However……
But Lu Yang turned around and walked out of the penalty area with the football in his arms. At the same time... he threw the football to Perrotta.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Including Perrotta.
"I'll give it back to you. Your legs shouldn't be weak this time, right?" Lu Yang also said jokingly.
But no one could laugh.
Because this is a penalty kick!
A penalty kick that can create a historical record!
A hat trick in consecutive European Cups! This is it!
"Give in? Lu Yang actually gave in?"
"He gave the penalty to Perrotta, which..."
"If that's the case, then why did he take the penalty kick again?"
"Leader! This is true if you are a true leader!"
"If you can do it, you can do it; if you can't do it, I can do it! This is true responsibility!"
"I have boasted about Lu Yang too many times in this European Cup, but I still have to continue to do so, because he is really worthy of all the fans to chase and look forward to!"
"Perrotta lived up to Lu Yang's kindness. He also scored twice! He gave up his hat-trick opportunity to Lu Yang, and now, Lu Yang gives his hat-trick back to Perrotta!"
"Chinese traditional virtues have influenced the Apennine Peninsula! This scene is worth remembering by everyone!"
"Perrotta set up the penalty kick and started to back away."
"Starting to run, Perrotta didn't hesitate and kicked a powerful shot to the right side of the goal!"
"Maduk made the save in the right direction, but the ball was too fast!"
"The ball's in! It's in!"
"Five to three! Italy kills the game! England's chance of comeback only exists in theory, and it is definitely not greater than 0.1%!"
“This is Perrotta’s first national team and European Cup hat-trick!”
"With this game, he also tied Ancarelli's goal in the Italian team, and the two were tied for tenth!"
"For some fans, this is a regrettable game. Because Lu Yang gave up a great achievement. But Italy still ushered in their record night!"
"This is the first time that the Italian national team has completed consecutive hat tricks in the European Cup!"
"The Italian team has half a foot in the semi-finals of the European Cup! They have achieved a historic breakthrough! They are almost catching up with the peak Italy team 12 years ago!"
Twelve years ago, the Italian team led by Manero and Sotu won the European Cup semi-finals, World Cup championship and European Cup runner-up in three consecutive competitions.
Now, after more than ten years of confusion, the Italian team seems to have finally found that path to success.
The World Cup in two years.
The European Cup in Italy four years later.
They... are finally qualified to think about it!
