Chapter 198 The Heart of a Champion Playing Football Under the Watch of Maradona
Back to 10 seconds ago——
Giovinco received Abarth's lateral transfer, stopped the ball, and passed the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick...

Xiangnan, who was constantly cruising in the frontcourt, suddenly braked, stopped, jumped up slightly, made a beautiful push with his chest, the ball fell in time, stopped with his heels, and slammed with his knees to control the ball.

Mascherano suddenly rushed over from the side, trying to steal the ball from the side.

Xiangnan seemed to have eyes behind his back. While stopping the ball, he made a beautiful half-turn, swayed away the robbery of the Liverpool midfielder, and began to accelerate! ! !
Gago came up to meet him. He was running desperately, vowing to kill Xiangnan no matter what. After this match, the hearts of the Real Madrid players were already deeply afraid of Xiangnan.

Xiang Nan made an emergency stop in high-speed dribbling, knocked with his heel, made an emergency stop and changed direction, followed by a continuous, one pull and one buckle.

Gago was completely swayed by this coherent movement, staggered, only saw Xiang Nan's figure drifting by, the Real Madrid player kicked Xiang Nan to the ground without the slightest hesitation.

Dudu! !
The referee quickly ran over and gave Gago a yellow card. Gago was ready to get the card the moment he kicked the ball. The Real Madrid midfielder smiled towards the south and stretched out his hand to pull him up. Xiang Nan glanced at Gago angrily, and shook off Gago's hand.

Gago shook his head embarrassingly, and ran back to his own restricted area.

Abate ran over and pulled Southward up——
"Andre, are you okay?"

Squatting down to the south, he untied the leg guard, and he could see a blood groove on his calf, which was a little bruised.

"It's not a big problem." Gritting his teeth, Xiang Nan limped towards the sidelines with the support of the team doctor of the Italian Olympic team.

There were ear-piercing boos from the stands of the Shanghai Stadium. Here, Xiang Nan is the real owner. Any malicious foul against Xiang Nan is not allowed, even Real Madrid player Gago, the Argentine favored by Chinese fans Not even the stars! !
The team doctor Andrew sprayed the liquid spray on the injured part of Xiangnan, and the cool feeling relieved the pain of the calf very well.

Xiang Nan jumped on the sidelines, signaling that he was fine.

There was thunderous applause from the stands.

*******
Gago's foul just now gave the Italian Olympic team a free kick in a good position.

Giovinco stood at the penalty spot and looked at the Argentine wall. The height of Argentine players is generally not high. The talented Juventus player estimated the distance of the wall and made a decision in his heart.

The referee took a look at Giovinco, and the Italian No. 10 nodded, meaning he was ready.

The whistle sounded.

Giovinco started a run-up, swung his right foot, quickly landed, and drew an arc with the instep of his right foot. The ball suddenly jumped up strangely, crossed the Argentine wall, and spun towards the back corner of the goal...

On the sidelines of the court, Xiang Nan, who was about to enter the field, was already raising his arms high, celebrating Giovinco's goal! !

Casiraghi also jumped up from the coach's bench and clenched his fists! !
Argentina's goalkeeper Romero has completely given up resistance, and he did not expect Giovinco's free throw to be so beautiful.

The head coach of the Argentine Olympic team, Sergio Batista, also stood up nervously. If the score is equalized again at this time, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Argentina's morale! !

Bang! !

The ball hit the left post of the goal! ! !
This sound made Xiang Nan hold his head on the sidelines in frustration, but for the head coach of the Argentine Olympic team, Mr. Sergio Batista, it was no different from the voice of the poetry recitation of the Gospel! !
"Whoa whoa whoa!!!"

"Wow wow wow!!!"

"Woooooooooooooo!!!"

In the stands of the Shanghai Stadium, there were loud sighs, and then clapping applause. Even if the ball did not score, this talented Juventus player showed a magnificent arc with his artistic right foot Wire! ! !

*******
Xiang Nan returned to the stadium. At this time, the big screen in the Shanghai Stadium faithfully recorded the current time and score——
"In 81 minutes, Italy 2:3 Argentina!"

"attack!!!"

"We want to score!!"

"Goal!!!"

Xiang Nan clapped vigorously, roared, and patted the shoulders of every teammate around him.

At this time, the captain must stand up! ! !
Xiang Nan looked at the captain's armband on his arm, took a deep breath——
"Fighting!! The whistle for the end of 90 minutes has not sounded!!! The fighting is endless!!"

*******
Maradona in the VIP stand saw this scene, turned his head and said something to his friend, and smiled.

For so many years, he has seen many young talents and rising stars, but not many of them can really achieve great success in their careers.

In the eyes of the gods of Naples, these talented players lack a sense of responsibility for fighting, a heart for the soul of the team, and who else is domineering! !
Seeing the Chinese player in the stadium, in the Italian Olympic team, started to shout and direct his teammates like a real captain, which made Maradona a little interested, he knew, got arrogant It is not an easy thing to be recognized by the Italians. For so many years, only one person has done it. He has the opportunity to make the entire Italians hate him completely, or love him madly. He made an old club Worship him completely, that person is——
Diego! ! !

"Interesting kid..."

*******
In the 83rd minute of the game, Italy made substitutions, and Casiraghi replaced No. 8 player, Marchisio from Juventus, and replaced Palermo player Nocerino, with the purpose of strengthening the attack.

Italy possession! !

Marchisio handed the ball to Abate, who was plugging in from the left, and ran towards the frontcourt by himself.

After Abate dribbled the ball forward for a certain distance on the left, a big foot moved laterally, and the ball reached Marchisio's feet.

The Juventus midfielder controlled the ball, faced Pablo Zavaletta who was on the attack, made a breakthrough feint, and then passed the ball to Giovinco who retreated to respond.

After getting the ball, Giovinco continued to break through horizontally, moved from the right to the left, and suddenly began to accelerate, moving along the left at high speed.

Xiangnan was cruising on the edge of the penalty area, constantly changing his position, which made Gago, who was defending Xiangnan close to him, very uncomfortable.

On the other side, Rossi also began to move towards the right wing of the penalty area, dragging Monzon, who was originally defending south with Gago.

Giovinco was near the bottom line, suddenly turned halfway, swayed away from Mascherano who came back to rob at high speed, and dropped a curved ball into the penalty area. The ball had a large arc and was a little floating.

A qualified super shooter must first have a sense of smell for judging where the ball falls! ! !
*******
Xiangnan is near the restricted area, running into the restricted area for a while, running out for a while, tormenting Gago's nerves, at this moment——
Like a jaguar smelling blood, Xiangnan suddenly made a forward move, swayed away from Gago, rushed to the ball's landing point, turned around suddenly, and leaned on Pareja who rushed out of the penalty area to make a big clearance. Facing the goal, he straightened his chest and deftly unloaded the ball...

The ball didn't stop properly, it was bouncing a little bit, Xiang Nan raised it with his knee, the ball jumped up, and then fell in a timely manner, at this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly made a half-turn -
The whole person jumped up sideways, stretched his right foot towards the back, and then slammed it violently, keeping his arms balanced, and his right foot also made crazy contact with the ball, as if the firing pin of a revolver suddenly The blow when firing, the ball whistling after being drawn——
Flying towards Argentina's goal with the speed of a bullet...

Xiang Nan, like a roc being hit, spread out his arms and landed on the turf of the Shanghai Stadium with a bang...

*******
From the moment Romero touched the ball to the south, he was highly concentrated. In the cognition of the Alkmaar goalkeeper, he had already classified the south into the list of extremely dangerous shooters! ! !

Romero made a brave side dive like a dolphin in an aquarium, only he couldn't touch anything but air! ! ! !
The ball was almost distorted by the unconventional shot to the south, and the ball whizzed past Romero's ten fingers at an unimaginable speed, with an extremely strong rotation, and rubbed the intersection of the goal post and the crossbar , flew into the upper right corner of the goal! ! !
This is a dead end in theory! ! !

The speed of the ball was really too fast. The moment it fell into the net, the net was almost lifted up strongly, and under the illumination of the floodlights, it cast a gorgeous light like snowflakes! ! !
Behind the Argentine goal is the stand of Italian fans. They completely witnessed the goal. Some fans said in the post-match message——
"At the moment when the net was crazily rolled up by the ball, when I was excited, I was even a little worried, worried that Andre's foot strength would break the net..."

"goooooooaaal!!! AND-REA!!! AND-REA!!! AND-REA!!!!"

Mr. Tomasi didn't even know what words to use to describe it, he just kept shouting, roaring, squeezing his lungs desperately, making almost hysterical noises! !

"AND-REA!!! This is an unstoppable goal!!!"

"That's right!! Even if Buffon and Kahn (at this time, Kahn has retired.) Standing together in the goal, they are unstoppable!!!!"

Justin finally forgot about Rap's spraying of venom, and the base of his tongue was almost completely anesthetized by this star-shattering goal! ! ! !
*******
3:3! ! !

Italy once again equalized the score! !
When falling behind for the third time, Xiangnan once again held up the dragon-slaying dagger and stabbed the pampas eagle fiercely, moving the game back to the same starting line again! ! !
Xiangnan jumped up from the turf of the Shanghai Stadium, even ignoring the deepening pain in his calf caused by the squeeze when he landed, just standing there, pulling his leg crazily The jersey yelled towards the stands, yelling crazily and desperately! ! ! !
The stand facing the south happened to be the god of Argentina. The stand where Maradona was located, I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Shocked by the equalizing goal, Maradona's slightly astonished face switched back and forth...
There are even reporters who are already thinking about the title after the game——
"Maradona's astonishment, Andre's crazy blow!!!"

Maradona shrunk his neck slightly, touched his nose, and his expression was a little weird. Probably he didn't expect that the stage that should belong to Messi would be robbed of many points by Xiangnan...

*******
Xiangnan received a pass from Marchisio at the front of the penalty area. He staggered and barely controlled the ball. However, under Monzon's concealed series of small movements, he fell to the line of the penalty area.

"Penalty!!! It's a penalty!!!"

Father Tomasi immediately roared, sounding the calling horn.

The referee shook his finger and nodded towards Nan, which meant that Xiang Nan dived. This time it was just a warning, and he will not be polite next time.

Xiang Nan got up a little annoyed, pulled his jersey, and pointed to Monzon, who had been hiding away for a long time, although Xiang Nan also knew that it was useless to argue with the referee.However, this is a matter of attitude, which makes the referee feel the voice of protest, and it is also a kind of silent pressure.

The blue jersey has been stained green by the green turf. He lifted the jersey to the south, wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously, raised his head, and saw the big screen of the stadium——
In 90 minutes, Italy 3:3 Argentina! !

On the side of the court, a sign indicating 3 minutes of stoppage time for the whole game was raised.

In the last 3 minutes, both sides intentionally strengthened their possession of the ball. At this point in the game, both sides knew that no one could rely on the last 3 minutes to knock down the opponent with a single punch. The final blow came in the next overtime.

Uh... I believe that seeing this scene, the happiest thing is the Brazilians. In another semi-final tomorrow, Brazil will face the challenge of Nigeria. Although the African Eagles have a good record in the Olympic Games, but , At this moment, most people still believe that the Samba Army with Ronaldinho, Diego and Pato will eventually advance to the final! !

Riquelme passed the ball low and flat. Aguero took the ball and shot it. He missed the spot and the ball flew high and floating towards the stands...

Dudu Dudu! ! !
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. During the 90-minute regular game——
Argentina: Riquelme a direct free kick, Aguero scored twice, Messi assisted twice! !

Italy: Three times behind, three times equalized, Xiang Nan scored twice and had a wonderful assist! !
Next, there will be 30 minutes of overtime! !
*******
At the start of extra time, Italy made a substitution --
Player No. 31, Thiago Motta from Udinese, replaced Abate from AC Milan.

"Casiraghi made a substitution. This is the second substitution for Italy in this game."

"It should be to let Marchisio play on the wing, and Mota appears in the position of the midfielder."

Argentina also changed at this moment——
Riquelme was replaced by Lavezzi.

When Riquelme saw his name, he froze for a moment, then tore off the captain's armband on his arm, handed it to Messi, applauded the fans in the stands, walked towards the side of the field, and patted his replacement. The shoulder of the teenager Lavitch.

There was also thunderous applause from the stands of the Shanghai Stadium. The Argentine midfielder gave a perfect performance to the fans.

"Ravezzi's speed is very fast. Argentina still has to attack in overtime. He, Messi and Aguero form a new offensive trident. Italy should be careful!!"

*******
Ravitch made a concealed pass, the ball reached Aguero's feet, Atletico Madrid's golden boy failed to break through, and knocked back--
Messi received a pass from Aguero, suddenly accelerated, his high-speed body was shaking constantly, and his feet were also changing back and forth. He knocked Motta down a few times, and then let out a low growl, and swung his right hand. The foot fell quickly and hit the ball——
After the ball was drawn, it made a whistling sound and flew towards Italy's goal like a fierce flame! ! !
Viviano was highly concentrated, surprised when he saw this, and immediately made a beautiful side attack, but the Brescia goalkeeper, obviously, underestimated the power of Messi's shot. The speed of the ball was too fast. Before Jarno's body fell, he flew into the net behind Viviano with a wonderful spin, and the ball was still spinning even after it touched the net...

"gooal!!! Goal!! Incredible goal!! Messi!! He scored!! Terrible moment!!!"

There was despair in the voice of old man Tomasi, which filled the air.

In fact.Not only the old man, but everyone else is already in despair——
At this time, it was already the second half of overtime, and the game had lasted to 116 minutes, and the time left for Italy was only 4 minutes! !

Like a happy child, Messi danced on the sidelines with Aguero who assisted him...

4:3! ! !

At 116 minutes into the game, Xiang Nan and his team stood on the edge of a cliff again...

*******
The big screen at the Shanghai Stadium faithfully recorded the score and time on the field——
In 119 minutes, Italy 3:4 Argentina! !

Montelivo intercepted the ball in the midfield. Facing Argentina's full-line defense, there was really no other way, so he had to pass the ball to Giovinco who retreated to ask for the ball. The Juventus player directly grounded the ball to Rossi's feet. Xi didn't stop the ball, and threw the ball a horizontal half-high ball to Xiang Nan's feet! !

"Italy's last chance!! The players chose to hand the ball to Andre!! This is the trust in the 19-year-old and one-month-old captain, and it is also a heavy pressure!!!"

Tomasi saw Italy's final offensive routine and options! !
Xiang Nan stopped the ball with a chest, a bit too big, and then poked it with the toe of his right foot. The ball just passed Gago's tackle and began to accelerate. Immediately afterwards, Xiang Nan used an almost tyrannical shoulder and squeezed away. Squeezing over, Gago, who blocked his progress, began to advance rapidly along the left.

Gago looked at the figure of the blue No. 9, panting heavily, the Real Madrid midfielder had no energy to chase.

However, he didn't know that Xiang Nan's situation was not much better. Nearly 120 minutes of running without any hesitation, constantly changing positions, and making sudden stops had seriously consumed Xiang Nan's physical energy, and his physical energy was almost overdrawn. ! !

The hot wind blowing from the Huangpu River, carrying a faint fishy smell, drifted around Xiang Nan's body. Xiang Nan almost felt that his lung cavity was breathing the hot wind, and he was almost scalded, which made him almost breathe a little. It's difficult.

At this moment, the driving force supporting Xiangnan to continue moving forward is the desire for victory! !

The strong desire to win from the bottom of my heart is like a vitamin, a tonic, supporting Xiangnan, continuing to run, changing direction, and advancing at a high speed! !

With big strides, he controlled the ball under his feet like an obedient elf. When the silver-white and red sneakers touched the green turf of the Shanghai Stadium, they made a rustling sound, like the sound of a battle trumpet. …

Pareja rushed over with a roar, and the blue No. 9, which was almost soaked in sweat, made the Anderlecht central defender feel the taste of a desperate blow from a beast. This feeling even made Pareja Thinking about it, everyone is trembling! !
Xiangnan almost subconsciously made a beautiful turn with the arch of his foot, and then poked his toes, the ball passed by Pareja, and Xiangnan immediately began to accelerate.

Pareja was shocked, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand to pull Xiangnan's jersey, but what he touched was a large piece of wet slippery area, Xiangnan's jersey was soaked with sweat, and now it was slipperier than a loach hand.

With a strenuous forward acceleration, Xiangnan broke free from Pareja's pull, but the interference of Anderlecht's central defender still made Xiangnan stagger! ! !
"That's it!! Let me in!!"

"Shoot in!!!"

Xiangnan seemed to feel that all the strength of his whole body was concentrated at this moment. With his left foot as a support, he swung his right foot high, and then roared, his right foot quickly fell, almost carrying the load. The right foot with all the strength slammed into the middle and lower part of the ball that was bounced off by the turf. The ball was almost deformed by the violent blow, with howling hot wind and roaring southward, Spinning toward the goal—
Swinging out his right foot, Xiang Nan felt the strength of his whole body suddenly lost, exhaustion swept his whole body, and he fell on the green turf, but his eyes were fixed on the whistling black and white elf, motionless...

"This is the last chance, will you enter?..."
