God of Greenery

Because of Jiang Xiaolin's change of position, the game finally became more enjoyable, and the cheers from the fans in the stands became much louder.

Of course, it was the Huaguo fans and neutral fans who thought it looked good.The Italian fans felt a little anxious, fearing that Jiang Xiaolin would score a goal in the 90-minute regular time.

But their anxiety didn't help the game.

Even the head coach can't do anything, let alone the fans in the stands.

Relying on his superior physical strength and speed, and his ability to run without the ball, Jiang Xiaolin frequently changed positions with his teammates, and Jiang Xiaolin played more and more smoothly, threatening the Italian goal more and more.

Less than 2 minutes after the last cut-in shot, Jiang Xiaolin actually made another breakthrough on the left, then cut in, dribbled the ball horizontally to the outside of the penalty area and completed a long-range arc shot.

However, this time Jiang Xiaolin hit a close corner.

Goalkeeper Viviano also reacted a bit slower and failed to take off in time to save.

It was obviously too late when he took off to make a save.

Just when the fans of the Hua Guo team thought the ball was going to fly into the goal and were about to celebrate, the ball hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area. Defender Chris Chito quickly kicked it out of the sideline to clear the siege.

Although the goal still missed, it was enough to make goalkeeper Viviano's heart pounding.

Viviano got up from the ground and shouted at his teammates angrily:

"Fack, what are you doing? You have to stop Jiang Xiaolin for me, and you can't let him cut in and shoot easily. Criscito, Montolivo, you all move to the side and help De Qieli defend Jiang Xiaolin."

The central defender Criscito and the defensive midfielder Montolivo nodded with ugly faces, staring at Jiang Xiaolin who shook his head after finishing the shot, with gloomy faces.

Next, the defensive players in the center of Italy began to consciously strengthen their defense on the side, preventing Jiang Xiaolin from breaking through and cutting in from the side.

But what happened next made the Italians feel deeply regretful.

After seeing the Italians strengthen the side defense, Jiang Xiaolin did not continue to break through the side in the 84th minute, but suddenly played a two-for-one cooperation with Hao Junmin, and then dribbled the ball directly from the middle to break forward .

Because Jiang Xiaolin frequently broke through the bottom or cut in from the side, the Italians were thinking inertia and focused on the side. As a result, Jiang Xiaolin was not prepared for Jiang Xiaolin's long drive in the middle. There was only one midfielder Rossi and the avant-garde Zigalini blocked Jiang Xiaolin's way forward.

But the two were not standing together, but separated by several meters.

So, everyone saw that Jiang Xiaolin first broke through the first defender Rossi with a fried ball, and then used the change of speed and rhythm to smash through Zigalini's defense, and instantly advanced to the front of the Italian penalty area. area.

Although Zigalini was not completely thrown off by Jiang Xiaolin, Jiang Xiaolin's full dribbling and physique also made him firmly blocked by Jiang Xiaolin's side, which did not interfere with the ball at Jiang Xiaolin's feet.

Central defender Bocchetti, who was originally defending center Han Peng in the penalty area, was shocked. He immediately threw off Han Peng and blocked Jiang Xiaolin's way into the penalty area, trying to block Jiang Xiaolin's way of breaking into the penalty area or shooting directly.

Goalkeeper Viviano also stared nervously at the menacing Jiang Xiaolin, thinking that Jiang Xiaolin must be about to shoot.

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Xiaolin was going to break into the penalty area or get out of the way to shoot in person, the neglected Huaguo team center Han Peng quietly moved a few steps to the right in the penalty area and stood in the gap on the right wing of the penalty area .

Jiang Xiaolin's previous performance was too outstanding, and the threat was too great. Everyone ignored the threat of other Huaguo players, thinking that at the last moment of this game, Jiang Xiaolin would definitely shoot the goal himself to complete the lore, and would not The ball is safely passed to teammates.

Therefore, both the Italian goalkeepers and defenders kept a close eye on Jiang Xiaolin, trying to prevent Jiang Xiaolin from breaking through or shooting.

However, when Jiang Xiaolin was interfered by Zigalini and blocked by Bocchetti in front of him, when there was a full-back rushing from the side to form a double-team, Jiang Xiaolin did not forcefully try to break into the penalty area or shoot from an angle.

At this time, Jiang Xiaolin became calmer.

It's not how talented Jiang Xiaolin is, but the benefits brought to Jiang Xiaolin by filling the system to 100% on-the-spot.

Similarly, Jiang Xiaolin can make a calm choice in this situation, and so can Han Peng.

Jiang Xiaolin discovered the direction of Han Peng's movement while he was in possession of the ball, and also saw the gap there.

So, when everyone in Italy thought that Jiang Xiaolin was going to do something reckless, Jiang Xiaolin flicked his ankle, and when he reached the top of the penalty area, he suddenly made a diagonal pass and kicked the ball to the right side of the penalty area. In the gap.

Zigalini, who was closely interfering with Jiang Xiaolin, and central defender Bocchetti, who was attacking, turned their heads in the direction of Jiang Xiaolin's pass, only to find that there was a big gap in the penalty area.

The forward Han Peng of the Huaguo team was unguarded and was about to receive a pass from Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin's short pass skills and teamwork skills are also at full value. This pass is quite accurate. No matter the strength or the route, Han Peng is very comfortable.

Han Peng didn't even need to stop the ball to adjust, he just raised his thigh and was ready to shoot without stopping the ball.

However, although there was a gap when Han Peng ran and Jiang Xiaolin passed the ball, Italy itself played a defensive counterattack. The formation was relatively retracted, and there were not many people near the penalty area.

After discovering Han Peng's running position and Jiang Xiaolin's intention to pass the ball, Mota, the full-back who was closest to Han Peng, rushed over and made a movement of flying to block the hole of the gun.

Han Peng also saw Mota's movements out of the corner of his eye, but he couldn't stop.

Now it's just a matter of both sides fighting for time.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaolin's passing power and angle are very good, Han Peng didn't waste time to adjust, and directly kicked and shot saved a lot of time.

Facing the ground ball passed by Jiang Xiaolin, Han Peng volleyed vigorously and kicked the ball towards Italy's goal.

The full value of the on-the-spot status made Han Peng's shot quality very good. Not only did he successfully avoid Mota who was flying to block the hole of the gun, he flew past Mota's feet, and he also hit the goal frame.

Of course, his own shooting skills prevented him from precisely controlling the shooting angle to the dead end like Jiang Xiaolin.

With the shooting skills of the players of the Hua Guo team, the hasty shot without stopping the ball in the penalty area is considered a success without flying.

Therefore, seeing that Han Peng's shot did not fly to the sky, but actually flew towards the goal frame, and the Italian defender Motta, who had not yet been blocked by the flying body, met the Hua Guo team, whether on the scene or in front of the TV. The fans showed hope in their eyes, looking forward to the ball flying into Italy's goal and forming a lore against Italy.

Italian fans hope that goalkeeper Viviano will continue to dedicate his outstanding performance and save the ball.

Perhaps the prayers of the Italian fans played a role, or perhaps Han Peng's shooting angle was not sharp enough, but goalkeeper Viviano really made another wonderful save.

Han Peng's shot was a low ball. Although it was not a ground ball, its height was limited. It was only a dozen centimeters from the turf, but the angle was not too sharp, and it was not far from where Viviano was standing.

In the blink of an eye, Viviano, a Serie A-level goalkeeper, had no time to fall to the ground, so he subconsciously sat on the ground and stretched his legs to intercept, stretching his feet in the direction of the ball's flight.

Viviano was very lucky, the ball actually hit his outstretched foot, instantly changed direction and bounced upwards, then hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area.

Immediately, the disappointed sighs of Hua Guo fans and the exhalations of the Italian fans escaped were heard in the stands.

Viviano once again saved the Italian team.

But the crisis is not over.

What was surprising was that after the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area, it landed in front of Jiang Xiaolin who rushed into the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin was overjoyed immediately, he raised his leg and was ready to kick the ball into the half of the empty goal formed by Viviano sitting on the ground.

But Bocchetti, who was standing in front of Jiang Xiaolin just now and half-turned after Han Peng's shot, happened to be beside Jiang Xiaolin.

Seeing the ball hitting the crossbar and bouncing back to the penalty area, and about to land in front of Jiang Xiaolin, Jiang Xiaolin also started to raise his leg to shoot. Shovel down on the ground and shovel in the direction of the ball.

But he was stopped by Jiang Xiaolin, he was a little far away from the ball, and he didn't make the best judgment on the timing of the tackle.

So, in the eyes of the referee and all the spectators, Jiang Xiaolin was about to hit the ball, but Bocchetti made a ferocious tackle from his side and knocked him down in the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin missed the ball and fell to the ground on his back.

But Bocchetti didn't tackle the ball either, but shoveled Jiang Xiaolin into the penalty area.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The sharp whistle blew, and the referee rushed into the penalty area, pointed at the penalty spot, and made a penalty for Bocchetti's foul on Jiang Xiaolin's shovel and a penalty for the Hua Guo team.

"Wow..."

The entire Beiping Workers' Stadium erupted instantly, and countless Hua Guo fans jumped up from their seats, celebrating excitedly.

Huaguo's commentator also shouted excitedly in the commentary booth:
"Wow……"

"Oh my god, penalty kick! Penalty kick!"

"Hua Guo won a penalty in the 84th minute!"

"Italian central defender Bocchetti fouled Jiang Xiaolin with a shovel in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick."

"The opportunity is here! The Huaguo team has a chance to reverse the score!"

"Jiang Xiaolin never misses a penalty kick!"

"It is really possible for the Olympic team to knock out Italy and advance to the semi-finals of the Olympic Games!"

When all the Chinese people on the scene and in front of the TV were boiling, the Italian fans on the scene and in front of the TV had become dumbstruck.

When Jiang Xiaolin dribbled the ball in the middle and was blocked by Zigalini and Bocchetti, everyone thought that the crisis was about to be resolved.

When Jiang Xiaolin passed the ball to Han Peng who was in the gap, and Han Peng hit the goal without stopping, and Mota flew to block the hole of the gun and failed, everyone's hearts were raised again.

But goalkeeper Viviano saved the goal.

When the ball hit Viviano's feet, deflected off the crossbar, and bounced back into the penalty area, everyone thought Italy had escaped.

Unexpectedly, the ball bounced back into the penalty area and landed in front of Jiang Xiaolin, the most threatening Hua Guo team.

Then, before everyone could react, Bocchetti, the central defender next to Jiang Xiaolin, made a subconscious side tackle. The ball missed, and Jiang Xiaolin was knocked down in the penalty area.

In just a few seconds, the mood of the Italian fans was like a roller coaster, going up and down, and now finally sinking into the abyss.

Everyone knows what a penalty kick at this time means.

Italy is almost dead.

Of course, the Italian players on the court also know what this penalty means to them.

The head coach on the sidelines angrily kicked away the mineral water bottle at his feet, while the Italian players on the field surrounded the referee excitedly, trying to get the referee back.

But how is it possible?

The shoveling foul in this penalty area is so obvious that there is no doubt at all.

Not only that, the referee after making the penalty kick gave Bocchetti an additional yellow card for the foul, and warned the other players that if he surrounded him and messed around, he would show a yellow card warning.

On the other side, Jiang Xiaolin was pulled up by his teammates and started to celebrate.

Although they didn't really celebrate the goal, everyone came up and hugged and patted Jiang Xiaolin fiercely. It goes without saying what the meaning behind the words was.

This penalty kick, every player has full confidence in Jiang Xiaolin.

Before everyone's eyes, Jiang Xiaolin scored a penalty kick and the Hua Guo team reversed Italy 2-1.

It is now the 84th minute of the second half, and there is not much time left in the 90-minute regular game.

Getting a penalty kick at this time is a godsend opportunity for the Hua Guo team.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin made the free throw, it could be called a lore.

In the next few minutes, as long as everyone works together to defend the penalty area and the goal, and prevent Italy from tying the score again, the Hua Guo team will really upset the world champion Italy and enter the Olympic semi-finals.

This is a prospect that all Hua Guo players never thought about before the Olympics.

Although the Football Committee proposed the goal of the Olympic team entering the semi-finals, no one took it seriously.Everyone thought that they would be very satisfied if they could achieve the historic breakthrough of scoring and winning in the Olympics.

Unexpectedly, they not only achieved a historic breakthrough of goals, wins, and qualifying for the group stage, but now it is even possible to eliminate the powerful Italy in the quarter-finals and enter the Olympic semi-finals.

It was an incredible scene.

It's no wonder that everyone couldn't hold back, and ran up to celebrate with Jiang Xiaolin in advance.

After Italy took the initiative to shrink its defense and play defensive counterattacks in the second half, everyone really held back for too long.

Now that I finally see hope, it's no wonder everyone needs to vent.

No one thought about Jiang Xiaolin's missed penalty, and there was no need to think about it.

Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills have been verified over a long period of time and in countless competitions, so no one needs to worry.
