Chapter 199 The Starry Night of the Champion's Heart



Chapter 199 The Heart of a Champion: A Starry Night

Although Romero had tried his best to save, even God couldn't stop the moment when the net was crazily rolled up by the hurricane! ! !
"goooooooaaaal!!! Goal!! Goal!!!"

When Xiangnan struggled to shoot the last kick, Mr. Tomasi couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up, and his eyes followed the TV camera...

"Yes!! The goal has been scored!!" Justin also breathed a sigh of relief. Although, as a die-hard fan of Xiangnan, the Italian commentator believed that the talented player would bring surprises, but when the miracle really came At that time, I didn't even know what words to use to express it.

The camera at the scene can clearly capture Xiangnan lying on the turf of the Shanghai Stadium, showing the happiest smile——
The tired face, the turquoise stained with green turf, the jersey drenched in sweat, the happy smile...

At the Shanghai Stadium, the moment the ball hit the net, it was a quiet church that seemed to be praying. Everyone was shocked by the goal——
a firm heart;

responsibility!

"Huh huh huh huh huh!!!"

The deafening applause rang out! !
Dudu Dudu! ! !
The referee also seemed to have just reacted, and blew the whistle to end the game. There was no need for stoppage time, and the full 120 minutes were played! !

4:4! ! !

A nearly perfect goal battle! !
This is a star-studded stage, a stage for talented artistic performances:
Argentina's Messi and Aguero, as well as veteran Riquelme;

Giovinco of Italy, and Rossi;
However, at this moment, everyone felt the strength of that young and strong heart in their hearts. Xiang Nan's name became the stadium and the name shouted by the audience in front of the TV in unison! !
This is genius, a stage with no ceiling! !
Star-studded stage…

*******
The players on both sides are all on the sidelines of the court, gulping down water. Their physical energy has been exhausted, and there will be a penalty shootout in a while.

"No one likes to choose a penalty shootout!! This is the cruelest feast!!!"

Mr. Tomasi was rambling. Regarding the penalty shootout, although Lippi's Azzurri finally won the Hercules Cup by virtue of a penalty shootout in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, but, generally speaking, Italy is in the penalty spot. In the ball game, he is a long-term victim. This, at least, is still the case for the time being.

"I hate penalty shootouts!! Honestly, very much!!"

Justin, on the other hand, yelled loudly.

Casiraghi took a small book and stood among the players. He needs 5 strong fighters! !
Everyone is drenched in sweat. In the case of extreme physical fatigue, a strong psychological quality is what is most needed for penalty kicks.

Xiang Nan received treatment from the team doctor Andrew on the sidelines. The last blow just now caused his calf to feel more pain under extreme fatigue.

Andrew applied an ice pack on Xiang Nan's calf, and then sprayed it with spray, which temporarily relieved the pain of the injured area.

Xiang Nan jumped twice, stretched his shoulders, and returned to his teammates. At this moment, the influence of the captain is extremely important.

Sensing Casiraghi's questioning gaze, Xiang Nan thought for a while and said——
"Coach, let me punish the fifth one!!"

Casiraghi nodded. This young kid did not disappoint him. I believe this match will be the most important match in this young captain's career! !

In the penalty shootout, the first and fifth penalty shooters are the most important. Those who dare to take these two shots must have a strong heart.

In other words, in a sense, the pressure of the fifth penalty kick is greater than that of the first one. After all, it is very possible that the fifth penalty kick will be the bearer The moment of the final fateful blow! !
*******
"Coach, let me punish the first one!!"

Rossi, the Villarreal striker, the rising star of the Italian striker who had made Ferguson annoyed, stood up at this moment.

Casiraghi took a heavy look at the Villarreal striker and wrote Rossi's name on the small book.

Soon, the candidates and order of appearance for the first round of penalty kicks were drawn up——
First free throw: Rossi

[-]nd free throw: Giovinco
Third free throw: De Qielli
Fourth free throw: Marchisio
Fifth appearance: Andre

Except for De Qieli, who played third, the remaining four are also the offensive system of the Italian Olympic team's frontcourt.

*******
The list of free throws for the Argentine Olympic team is also out. The five players in the first round are:

Messi;

Gago;

Lavitch;
Aguero;
Mascherano.

All the players on both sides who did not take free throws were not far from the goal, gathered together, shoulder to shoulder, cheering for their teammates! !
*******
Argentina's first free throw ---
Messi walked slowly to the penalty spot and glanced at Viviano, who was bouncing around in front of the goal.

Run up, push and shoot! !

The ball went in, and Viviano was swayed by Messi's feet and jumped to the right, while the Barcelona star chose to push the middle.

*******
Rossi started running, accelerated, and then suddenly slowed down, his right foot made crisp contact with the ball——
Bang! ! !
Argentina's goalkeeper Romero from Alkmaar completely misjudged the direction, but at this moment, the goddess of luck favored the eagle of Pampas. Rossi's shot hit the right post of the goal...

Penalties: Argentina 1:0 Italy! ! !
*******
Maybe Gago was too nervous, but before the referee blew his whistle, he started to run and shoot...

The moment the ball rolled into the net, the camera even captured it, and the Real Madrid midfielder even let out a long sigh of relief.

The referee gave a crisp whistle and ran over to give Gago a verbal warning. Only then did Gago realize his low-level mistake due to excessive nervousness.

Italian goalkeeper Viviano from Brescia picked up the ball from the net, walked slowly to Gago, threw the ball to the Real Madrid midfielder, patted Gago on the shoulder, and whispered Say something.

Gago's expression changed.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Nan said to Rossi, who was still frustrated beside him, "Gago is going to make a free throw!!!"

Sure enough, before the words were finished, Gago kicked the ball towards the stands. The Argentine hugged his head, extremely frustrated.

Rossi glanced at Xiang Nan, "What did Viviano say to the Argentine?"

Rossi also noticed Viviano's little move just now.

Xiang Nan smiled happily, with a mischievous smile, "I don't know either. Maybe Viviano will enchant the spell..."

Uh...poor Gago under the spell and curse...

*******
Giovinco, who then played in Italy, scored calmly.

Argentina's next Lavezzi, without giving Viviano any chance, made a beautiful free throw and scored.

Italy's next player, De Qieli, also withstood the pressure and scored in the middle.

Aguero stood at the penalty spot, glanced at Viviano coldly, followed the referee's whistle, calmly ran up, shot, and the goal was scored! ! !

Coming up next.Italian player Marchisio from Juventus also scored the ball! ! !
In the first round, the top four players finished their free throws, and the score of the penalty shootout was 3:3! !
*******
Mascherano stood at the penalty spot, reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Viviano continued his bouncing dance, trying to interfere with the Liverpool midfield.

Obviously, the goalkeeper from Brescia succeeded——
The ball kicked by Mascherano was not strong enough to give Viviano time to judge. The Brescia goalkeeper firmly held the ball in his arms.

Kicking the ball away, Viviano roared wildly! ! !

4:4! ! !

However, the first round of free throws, the Argentines have already made free throws. As long as Xiang Nan can withstand the pressure, Italy will finally eliminate Argentina and advance to the National Stadium - Bird's Nest on August 2008, 8, the Olympic men's football final site! ! !

*******
Nan Xiang took a few strides to the penalty spot, picked up the ball, which was covered with turquoise grass clippings, lowered his head to Nan, and gently kissed the ball, and then gently placed the ball on the Yes, a penalty kick is on.

Argentine goalkeeper Romero, standing in front of the goal, bent slightly, watching Xiangnan nervously, Alkmaar's talented goalkeeper's body was tense, and at this moment, he even felt his nerves being pulled In pain, Romero opened his eyes wide, trying to judge the direction of Nan's shot from Xiang Nan's body movements.

Xiang Nan didn't look at the performance of the Argentine goalkeeper at all. He looked at the referee frequently, waiting for the moment when the whistle sounded. Xiang Nan's performance full of confidence, invisibly, gave the Argentine goalkeeper Romeo Luo is under great pressure, and gradually this pressure is getting bigger and bigger with the loss of confidence...

The crisp whistle sounded——
Xiang Nan started the run-up, and the speed was a little fast at the beginning. The moment his right foot touched the ball, he paused slightly, which made the nervous Romero make a move to the right ahead of time.

The right foot made close contact with the ball, and the ball was hoisted to the middle! ! !

The ball went in! ! !
"Spoon!! Andre chose to shoot with a spoon!! The ball went in!!! I don't know how to describe it. Doesn't this kid know what it means to be nervous?"

"Haha, 5:4!!! The game is over!!! We have advanced to the final!!!"

The moment the ball touched the net, Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his jersey, and wiped the sweat off his face. It was impossible not to be nervous. Just now, this 19-year-old and one-month-old genius shooter intentionally The performance was confident, and sure enough, the Argentine goalkeeper was the first to lose his composure! ! !

*******
The head coach of the Argentine Olympic team, Sergio Batista, walked towards his disciples. Some of them were already crying. Argentina was eliminated, and the Pampas Eagles, who were aiming to win the championship, were eliminated...

The Shanghai stadium has fallen into a jubilant world, half heaven, half hell...

Xiang Nan and his teammates celebrated wildly. He used to be very familiar with the feeling at this moment. In the European Cup two months ago, it was just that he was the one who left with tears...

Xiang Nan took off his jersey and walked towards Messi. The Barcelona star glanced at Xiang Nan and quickly took off his jersey. The two took each other's jerseys, both sweaty and heavy.

"Andre, next time, I won't fail. You did a great job today."

"I'm not going to fail! But you're really good, too."

Xiang Nan and Messi embraced lightly, turned and left. At this moment, he needs to celebrate with his teammates! !

The flashing lights of the Shanghai Stadium are constantly flashing, recording this moment, the collision between two geniuses...

At this moment, the stars shine...
