Chapter 113 From Disappointment to Hope
After a lot of trouble, Guo Bin and the others finally moved their seats to the stands on the side of the Santos fans, and paid a lot of extra fees for this. But it didn't matter, because they were in mixed moods at the moment.
"Well, I finally understand. After all, we are too self-righteous. Now I seriously suspect that there is something fishy here. Those bigger gambling companies must have laid out the plan early, just waiting for some of us fools to get into this.
It is estimated that many people have lost their money by now.
If I hadn't had the foresight to write down in the contract the ownership of the final championship, I would have ended up being harvested just like them." Guo Bin commented on the result of the regular time of the game.
"The boss is still far-sighted. But judging from the way they played during regular time, I guess overtime will also be worrying!" Xue Jin said slightly worriedly.
"You still don't understand. There must be variables in this. I think those big gambling companies must have set up a scheme to defraud lottery players of their money, so they made the Santos team have reservations. Otherwise, with the gap between the two teams,
The Portuguese will not play so smoothly. And even if this fails, there is still one of our flags in the Portuguese team that can be used." Guo Bin said.
"In this way, the Santos team will not have any reservations in strength in the next game, and the victory still belongs to us!" Xue Jin was also shocked by this truth.
Before the game restarted, both sides made certain adjustments to the players in the overtime. The Portuguese made match-up substitutions, replacing Zhang Yuning and Moises, who had declined in physical fitness, and replacing them with Harik and Rogeri.
However, several of the main players on O. Santos' side did not go down. They still have plenty of physical fitness, but they were replaced by Almeida.
Just as Guo Bin and the others said, the Santos team really started to exert force again. As soon as the overtime started, the Santos team pounced on them. This momentum was completely different from their cautious attitude before, and for a while they actually beat the Portuguese team to exhaustion.
To cope with.
In the 4th minute of the first half of overtime, the Portuguese team made a fatal mistake.
Cicero successfully stole Moises and then launched a counterattack and passed the ball to Gabigol. The latter got the ball and passed Diego into the penalty area and then crossed the ball. Ribeiro hit the goal in the penalty area and was deflected by Dana.
Saved. Rogelio, who had just come on, made a mistake in the clearance, and the ball happened to fall in front of Gabigol, who was following closely. Gabigol took a shot, but Dyna was powerless and could only
Watch the ball fly into the net.
1-0, after re-scoring in overtime, Santos was the first to take the lead.
"Rogelio, be careful when making a clearance. In an emergency like this, you are willing to give the opponent a sideline ball." Li Zhao reminded. He could see clearly that Rogelio was responsible for the loss of the ball just now.
It's his responsibility, but considering that Rogelio may have just been substituted, I don't mean to blame him.
"Got it, Captain!" Rogelio's attitude was quite good, but there was a hint of cunning in the corners of his eyes that was hard to detect.
Although the Portuguese was caught off guard at the beginning, they were still able to launch timely counterattacks after they stabilized, but they never saw an opportunity to equalize. The opponent's goalkeeper was also a difficult opponent.
Seeing that the first half of overtime was about to pass, the Portuguese made another mistake at the last moment, and this time it was still Rogelio who made the mistake. He was inexplicably passed by Cicero in the penalty area, thus allowing his own goal.
exposed to each other.
Seeing that no one could stop him, Diego tackled Cicero from behind. Although this action prevented the opponent from scoring for a while, it might also lead to a worse situation.
Sure enough, when the referee pointed to the penalty spot, he also showed Diego a red card. This choice is not right or wrong, but it is definitely not their style to let the opponent score like this.
"I know it would be the same if it were you. In comparison, missing me is not a big problem, so I have no choice but to do my part." Diego said apologetically.
Then he walked towards Dana and said: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. If you can, try your best to save this penalty kick!"
"What are you talking about? This is my duty. What does it mean to try my best? It should be certain. Just go on with peace of mind!" Dana patted his shoulder and said.
Whether they can block this penalty is related to whether they still have hope for a comeback, but Li Zhao still firmly believes that Dyna can do it. After making eye contact with Dyna, he then called Harrick, who seemed to be
What are you talking about.
At this time, in the live broadcast room of Oriental Sports Channel, the two hosts also expressed regret.
"This is troublesome. If this goal is scored, it will basically declare the Portuguese's failure. I hope they can adjust in time in the second half. After all, there is still time." Although Lou Yichen said so, he said about the Portuguese team
It's not very promising whether the penalty kick can be saved. If the goal is scored, it will be extremely difficult to come back in the short fifteen minutes of the second half of overtime.
"It seems that the Santos team has become more aggressive since the start of overtime, which is also a factor. But I think if this is the case, the Portuguese will not be unable to guard. The key point is Rogelio's two consecutive
In terms of mistakes, he is considered an old player, so he shouldn't be!" Li Bin saw the essence of the problem at a glance.
"Let's take a look at this free throw!" Lou Yichen said.
Many people are watching this scene at this moment. Some Chinese people in front of the TV are undoubtedly a little desperate at this time, but at the same time they have hope in their hearts. They hope that the Portuguese may be able to create another miracle, and even finally be able to reverse the game strongly.
The player Santos finally chose to take the penalty was Cicero. Originally, if he had faced Ribeiro, who had a more determined psychological quality, Dyna would not have been sure yet, but if it was Cicero, it would not necessarily be the case.
.
After the whistle, Cicero slowly ran towards the penalty kick. He wanted to use a change of pace to deceive Dyna, and then hit a spoon ball.
But Dyna, who was good at reading minds, obviously didn't take this trick. Although he shook his body slightly, his center of gravity did not move at all, which in turn deceived Cicero into taking action. Dyna quickly turned around and then stabilized.
He held the ball firmly in his arms.
All this was not over yet. While the Santos players were stunned, Dyna kicked the ball away. Although he was only a goalkeeper, his footwork was not bad, and the ball accurately landed on the opponent's side.
There was no one in the half. At the same time, Li Zhao and Harik had already rushed out, and then they all passed the opponent's last player.
In terms of speed, Harik is better and caught up with the ball first. However, Li Zhao can attract more firepower and block the pursuers behind him, making him feel more at ease when fighting alone.
.
As expected, Harik lived up to his trust. After passing the attacking goalkeeper, he steadily sent the ball into the empty goal.
1-1, the Portuguese equalized the score tenaciously.
This sudden change was undoubtedly a great excitement for the fans watching the game, but before they could return home, the referee had already blown the whistle to end the first half of overtime.
At this moment, the fans who supported the Portuguese were naturally rejoicing and regained their fighting spirit, while the Santos fans were in a different situation. They couldn't help cursing Cicero for not kicking the penalty kick, thinking that this must be God's fault.
punishment for them.
At this time, the ones with the biggest mental fluctuations were Guo Bin and others. One moment they were extremely excited, as if they had seen victory waving to them, and the next moment they fell from heaven, but they had not yet reached the bottom, and they did not think that the next step would be to win.
That kind of situation happens.
"That guy's team is really a little strong, and it can't be crushed no matter how hard it is! For this reason, we didn't hesitate to expose our last trump card. But after all, there are only fifteen minutes left, and I'm afraid that if we hold on,
If so, it is really possible to survive. If there is a penalty shootout, the result will only depend on God's will." Xue Jin was already panicking in his heart. This feeling was something he couldn't experience when he was in a bar. Although there were still extra
In the second half of the game, he felt vaguely bad.
"What are you lying about? I just let them succeed in the sneak attack and live a little longer. But they have one less person on the court, so it won't be as easy as before." Guo Bin said pretending to be relaxed. The game has reached this point.
