God of Greenery

The excited Italian players entangled with the referee for a long time, the referee finally couldn't bear it, and finally gave the two most excited Italian players a yellow card, and finally dispersed the excited Italian players.

Afterwards, the other players of the two teams exited the penalty area and stood outside the penalty area line. Jiang Xiaolin picked up the ball on the ground, came behind the penalty spot, and carefully placed the ball on the penalty spot.

In order to avoid accidents, Jiang Xiaolin even checked back and forth before putting the ball down, so as to avoid pits, stepping on the air or kicking the ball later.

The significance of this penalty is too great.

Not to him, nor to this game, but to the entire history of Chinese football.

Scoring the entire penalty kick, eliminating Italy and entering the semi-finals, may be able to change the long-decreasing Chinese football.

Even if you don't enter the finals or win the championship, entering the Olympic semi-finals is enough for countless Chinese to see football again.

Therefore, even with the confidence of Jiang Xiaolin's system plug-in, he was very careful and cautious, and did not want any accidents.

Goalkeeper Viviano returned to the goal line, clapped his palms and took two steps back and forth, then stared at Jiang Xiaolin behind the penalty spot, half squatting and ready to keep the goal.

After the referee's penalty kick cannot be changed and Jiang Xiaolin is about to take the penalty kick, the noisy stands began to fall silent.

Many Italian fans at the scene and in front of the TV closed their eyes, not daring to watch.

Some people are afraid of seeing Jiang Xiaolin kick a penalty kick and eliminate Italy.

Some people were nervous and didn't dare to look at it.

Some people were praying with their eyes closed, hoping that God would bless Italy, let Jiang Xiaolin nod and kick him, or be thrown by Viviano.

Similarly, the Huaguo fans, who were still ecstatic and celebrating just now, suddenly had their hearts beat faster, and they no longer felt full of confidence when they were awarded a penalty by the referee for a foul by Bocchetti.

Even if they knew that Jiang Xiaolin had never made a penalty kick, it would not help relieve their nervous psychological pressure.

Everyone understands the importance of this penalty.

Countless people looked at Jiang Xiaolin behind the penalty spot, put their palms together, and chanted various gods such as "Buddha bless, Bodhisattva bless, God bless" in their hearts, praying that Jiang Xiaolin would continue to play steadily and kick this penalty kick. go in.

The opposite goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong, who was facing the Italian penalty area, had full confidence in Jiang Xiaolin before, because he had tasted Jiang Xiaolin's penalty kick training in training, and he knew that Jiang Xiaolin would definitely score this penalty kick.

However, when the matter came to an end, when Jiang Xiaolin was about to make a free throw, his heart beat wildly and he couldn't hold it back at all.

The rational confidence in his head did nothing to calm him down.

Qiu Shengjiong was so nervous that he couldn't even look at it anymore. He turned around and faced the goal he was guarding. He knelt down on the line of the penalty area, lowered his head, put his hands together, and muttered: "Penalty in! Penalty in! Penalty in! "

In the commentary seat, the commentator of Huaguo National TV Sports Channel is explaining:
"Players from both sides have exited the penalty area."

"Jiang Xiaolin is going to take the penalty in person."

"There is no doubt about this!"

"This penalty was created by Jiang Xiaolin himself. He is also the well-deserved first penalty shooter of the Hua Guo team. There is no dispute."

"Since Jiang Xiaolin joined Alkmaar and was selected for the national team, whether it is a youth team or an adult team, whether it is a friendly match or a regular game, Jiang Xiaolin has never made a mistake in taking a penalty kick, and has never been thrown by the opponent's goalkeeper. .”

"The [-]% penalty rate is Jiang Xiaolin's previous data."

"I hope Jiang Xiaolin can continue to play a steady penalty kick today and score this crucial penalty kick."

At the end, the commentator's voice began to tremble: I was too nervous.

Not only at the scene, but also in front of TVs and live broadcast computers across the country, many fans and spectators were nervously staring at Jiang Xiaolin, looking forward to Jiang Xiaolin's goal.

It can be said that Jiang Xiaolin, who is only 17 years old at this time, carries on his shoulders the expectations of tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of fans and audiences across the country.

How much everyone scolds the national football team usually, how strong is the expectation at this time: typical hatred of iron but not steel.

As the world's number one sport, football's potential fans and spectators in China must be huge.

It's just that the performance of the national football team was not good in the past, everyone was ashamed to talk about football, and many people hid their true thoughts.

Now the Huaguo men's football team may upset the world's top team Italy in the Olympic quarter-finals and enter the Olympic semi-finals.

Such a prospect is undoubtedly what fans and audiences across the country are looking forward to.

For Jiang Xiaolin, it is no exaggeration to say that the expectations of hundreds of millions of fans across the country are overwhelming him.

Jiang Xiaolin naturally knew this too.

Therefore, when he put the ball on the penalty spot, he put it so carefully and seriously, and carefully checked the surrounding turf conditions, and did not allow any accidents.

At the same time, while standing behind the penalty spot and waiting for the penalty whistle, Jiang Xiaolin was also constantly taking deep breaths to adjust his state.

Even if there is a system plug-in, even if he has never missed a penalty kick in the previous game, even if Jiang Xiaolin's on-the-spot state in this game has been added to 100% full value...

But facing such an important scoring opportunity, Jiang Xiaolin still inevitably became nervous.

Fortunately, his nervousness was not as serious as other teammates and fans, and it was even more impossible for him to turn around and kneel down to pray like Qiu Shengjiong was so nervous.

The confidence of others is based on their trust in Jiang Xiaolin, but this kind of confidence cannot reach [-]%.

But Jiang Xiaolin's confidence is based on system attributes.

Jiang Xiaolin's archery in the system properties is a full value of 20, so it must be a full value of 20.The system shows that the Huaguo players, including Jiang Xiaolin, are 100% on the field in this game, so it must be 100%.

Therefore, although Jiang Xiaolin was a little nervous, he was not so nervous that he couldn't take the penalty kick. He was just a little nervous about the result of the penalty kick.

But it doesn't matter.

Jiang Xiaolin kept taking deep breaths, released his emotions, adjusted his mentality, and then waited for the referee's free throw whistle.

At this point, the elapsed time has reached the 85th minute.

Seeing that the players on both sides had exited the penalty area and the goalkeepers were ready to defend the goal, the referee standing on the left side of the penalty area blew the penalty whistle, indicating that Jiang Xiaolin could take the penalty kick.

While looking at Viviano's position, Jiang Xiaolin took a final deep breath and let out a long breath. He shook his body again, relaxed his body, and after a three-step run-up, he kicked the ball go out.

At this important moment, Jiang Xiaolin didn't show off his skills or kick the top corner.

He chose to kick the bottom right corner.

In terms of difficulty, if the ball can be accurately kicked into the dead corners of the two upper corners, the goalkeeper is the most difficult to attack, because the height is difficult to reach.

But if you are not careful, that kind of kicking will turn into a miss or miss the post, which is very unsafe.

Even though Jiang Xiaolin had full on-the-spot status and shooting skills, he didn't show off his skills and kick two top corners on such an occasion.

Secondly, for the two bottom corner penalty kicks, the goalkeeper must have a body sinking process when saving.

This process even took longer than flying up.

Therefore, kicking a ground ball with a relatively tricky angle from a penalty kick is also difficult for the goalkeeper, and it is much safer than kicking the ball from the upper corner.
As long as the angle is good, unless the goalkeeper predicts accurately and saves in advance, it will be difficult to catch.

But if it is predicted, the opponent will temporarily change the direction of the kick if it is too early, and it will be out of reach if it is too late.

That's why penalties are a goalkeeper's nightmare.

Because even if the prediction is accurate, there is a high probability that it will not be caught.

As for Jiang Xiaolin's penalty kick, Viviano couldn't save it.

Because of Jiang Xiaolin's full-value on-the-spot shooting skills, the ball he kicked not only went straight to the dead corner, but also reached the maximum dead corner: the ball actually hit the inside of the lower right post, and then bounced into the net. of.

It's worse than a shot that sticks to the post and gets into the dead corner, and it's a centimeter or two away from the goalkeeper's finger.

As a goalkeeper at the Serie A level, Viviano still played a good role in this attack. Based on Jiang Xiaolin's actions, he predicted in advance the direction of Jiang Xiaolin's goal.

But helplessly, this is a penalty kick, and the distance is too close.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin's shots were powerful, fast, and extremely tricky.

Although Viviano predicted and threw it in advance, he was still beyond his reach. In the air, he watched the ball hit the inside of the post, and then bounced into the net with a "bang".

In the 85th minute of the second half, the Hua Guo team relied on Jiang Xiaolin's penalty kick created and scored by himself to reverse the score. In turn, the favorite Italian team led 2-1.

"Wow..."

When Jiang Xiaolin's penalty kick hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net, the entire Beiping Workers' Stadium erupted instantly.

Countless Huaguo fans jumped up from their seats, roaring and screaming crazily, hugging and patting people they knew and didn't know around them, venting their excitement.

Even Jiang Xiaolin's mother, Jiang Liantao, embraced excitedly with her niece and daughter Jiang Xueling, celebrating Jiang Xiaolin's penalty kick and helping the Chinese team overtake the score.

After watching the live broadcast and watching these games, Jiang Liantao also knew what the penalty just now meant to Jiang Xiaolin and the Hua Guo team.

Therefore, seeing her son successfully throw the ball in, even in her capacity, she couldn't help hugging and cheering with her niece and daughter to celebrate.

Even Jiang Liantao couldn't help being so excited, let alone the other real fans and spectators.

All the fans and spectators, no matter at the scene or in front of the TV, were erupting with wild applause and cheers.

Qiu Shengjiong, who was in the restricted area of ​​the Huaguo team, also jumped up from the ground, turned around and rushed towards the opposite side while screaming.

He's going to celebrate the goal with his teammates.

In the commentary seat, the Huaguo commentator completely ignored the lonely Italian commentator, standing on his seat and shouting crazily:
"Come in! Come in! Come in, come in, come in..."

"The ball went in..."

"Jiang Xiaolin scored the penalty kick!"

"The Hua Guo team overtook the score!"

"The Chinese team leads Italy 2-1!"

"Thank you Jiang Xiaolin, Jiang Xiaolin is too good, he is the banner of our Chinese football, he is a world superstar!"

"If our Olympic team can really eliminate Italy and enter the Olympic semi-finals today, then Jiang Xiaolin will undoubtedly be the biggest contributor."

"Whether it is the group stage or the current knockout stage, Jiang Xiaolin is leading everyone to move forward."

"The score is 2-1, and there are less than 10 minutes left in the game. As long as the Hua Guo team withstands Italy's counterattack, we will be eliminated by surprise and enter the semi-finals."

"This is a scene that I couldn't even imagine before the Olympics. It's unbelievable!"

"too excited!"

"I think the fans and audience in front of the TV are the same. They must have fallen into crazy celebrations at this time. And they are looking forward to the early end of the game and the Hua Guo team can truly advance to the semi-finals."

Indeed, no matter where the land of China is at this time, as long as they are watching the live broadcast of this game, there is joy.

Regardless of whether they were fans before or not, seeing Jiang Xiaolin score a penalty kick and the Hua Guo team lead the score, everyone felt excited and excited from the bottom of their hearts, and celebrated enthusiastically.

As for Jiang Xiaolin and the others on the court, that's not to mention.

Even Qiu Shengjiong, who was far away from the other goal, ran over. Naturally, none of the teammates who were closer was left behind, and they all rushed to the sidelines with Jiang Xiaolin to celebrate fiercely.

The one who ran along the bottom line to celebrate was caught up by his teammates, pulled to the ground, and then was pressed down by his teammates like crazy to celebrate by stacking Arhats.

On the sidelines, Yin Tieshen and other Huaguo coaches, substitutes, and staff, including the nominal consultant Dujkovic, all excitedly clapped each other, hugged, cheered, and ran to celebrate, venting their excitement.

Originally, at the beginning of the second half, after Italy took the initiative to retreat and started to play their good defensive counterattack, the morale of the Huaguo team seemed to be relatively low up and down.

Especially when even Jiang Xiaolin didn't have much to do, and it was difficult to threaten the opponent's goal under the opponent's skillful chain defense, everyone was full of pessimistic views on the result of the game.

Even if the head coach replaces Wang Yongbai, withdraws Jiang Xiaolin's position, and withdraws from the penalty area to shoot long shots, it will not help the game situation.

Everyone could see that the Italians were very cautious and firmly guarded their penalty area. They would not let Jiang Xiaolin shoot easily, nor would they attack to leave a gap for the Hua Guo team.

As the world champion, Italy is wretched and wants to use defense to drag the time into overtime, into a penalty shootout, and then use the penalty shootout to eliminate the Hua Guo team.

As the game progressed, this was already a clear tactic for the Italians, and even ordinary fans could see it.

Unexpectedly, at this time Jiang Xiaolin suddenly began to switch positions frequently with the two wingers, increasing the number of times the winger broke through the bottom pass or cut inside to shoot.

The situation suddenly became clear.

With the expansion of the activity area, Jiang Xiaolin's threat to Italy's goal has suddenly increased by more than one level.

Then, the panicked Italians strengthened their side defense, but gave the Hua Guo team a gap to break through in the middle.

Therefore, there was this penalty and this goal.

This goal made the coaches and players of the Hua Guo team climb from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

They really have the possibility to create an incredible miracle: reverse and eliminate Italy to enter the Olympic semi-finals.
