The person who took the penalty kick was Griezmann. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans at home, he still scored the ball steadily.

The entire Stade de France was boiling at this moment, and the French fans were noisy for a while, as if they, as the hosts, had touched the championship trophy with one hand. This scene naturally made the fans on the other side very unhappy, and even caused

There were some verbal conflicts. However, under the even more crazy suppression of the home fans who had a clear numerical advantage, the response of the Portuguese fans seemed a bit weak. But they were not deterred. Even the numerical disadvantage could not make them give in.

After the goal, French coach Deschamps replaced forward Giroud with Gignac, who had previously created a penalty kick, but he shrunk the formation appropriately. Deschamps had expected that the Portuguese team would

He will launch a relatively rapid offensive next, and he is still very confident in the defensive ability of his players. As long as they can withstand the Portuguese team's counterattack for a period of time, when the opponent's offensive declines due to declining physical fitness, they can

Waiting for an opportunity to make a final decision. It doesn't matter even if our side can't score again, as long as the opponent has no gain, it will be enough to win the final championship.

"Oh, as soon as this goal was lost, Portugal's situation became very unfavorable. Fortunately, there is still some time before the end, so they still have a chance." In the CCTV live broadcast room, Duan Xuan said after the French team scored.

He couldn't help but lament. He had the same idea as countless fans who supported Portugal. They were all praying that the Portuguese team could equalize the score as soon as possible.

Returning to the field again, Nani, who took over the captain's armband from Ronaldo, had to take advantage of the gap before the restart to call the players together. He had the responsibility to lead the players to overcome the difficulties at hand.

"Guys, there are less than 30 minutes left for us to equalize the score, but I believe everyone can do it. Are you right?" Nani's words were not many, but they were very inspiring.

"Yes, we can do it!" The rest of the team members responded in unison at this moment.

Of course, the team members understand what it means to be behind in the score, and know that their opponents may have set up new routines for them to dive into, but now they have no way out and can only be forced to fight. But if they are lucky enough

If you catch the goal, you can make the opponent's plan come to nothing.

In the next ten minutes or so, the Portuguese team launched several rounds of fierce offensives, but the French team's defense was obviously not a vegetarian. In addition, they still lacked some luck, so even though they dominated the scene,

Excellent, but still unable to complete the goal.

When the Portuguese team's offensive paused, the French team also took the opportunity to launch several fast breaks, almost expanding their lead.

"Hurry up and warm up, and replace Sanchez later!" Sanchez looked around at the players on the bench, and finally decided to use the last substitution spot on Edel.

Figo also nodded silently, agreeing very much with his approach. Although it is very risky, now we must continue to focus on offense. Everything depends on fate.

Deschamps, the French coach who was sitting on the sidelines on the opposite side, also had a serious expression at this time. He understood that now has reached the most critical moment. As long as the game has not reached the last moment, any accident may happen, and the suspense of victory or defeat is

will always exist.

The time quietly came to the 80th minute. At this time, the physical fitness of most of the Portuguese team's players had declined sharply. The most direct manifestation was that their offensive firepower output was significantly weakened, and the number of successful breakthroughs into the opponent's penalty area was correspondingly reduced.

There are a lot less, and sometimes they have to rely on long shots to find opportunities from the outside. Only the Li Zhao brothers and Edel, who just came on the field, are still actively running. The situation on the French team is not much better, but

Their burden is much lighter, and their only defensive tasks are done well, without giving their opponents a better chance.

As time goes by, it seems that the hope of the Portuguese team has become increasingly slim. After entering the injury time, the fans of the home team have even begun to celebrate in advance, looking forward to the French players in the near future.

The scene of lifting the trophy. But at this moment, the sudden goal of the Portuguese team shattered this perfect fantasy in the hearts of the home team fans. What was even more difficult for them to accept was that this was a completely unexpected goal.

It was an own goal, and the instigator was Li Zhao.

When the game entered the stoppage time, Li Zhao finally activated his last key skill - bullet time. He deliberately reserved it for this last moment. And at the moment after activating the skill, he

His senses have become extremely sharp, and every move of the other party seems extremely slow in his eyes.

At this time, the football was still under the control of French team defender Umtiti. He had discovered Gignac running out of space in the front area. When he was about to pass the ball, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from him.

It passed by him, and then he found that his feet were empty. When he looked back, he found a figure wearing a red jersey rushing towards the penalty area behind him with the ball that had just been snatched from him.

It's just that French goalkeeper Lloris reacted very quickly. He seemed to have sensed the danger before, and rushed out the moment Li Zhaogang intercepted the ball, and quickly blocked almost all Li Zhao's possible frontal scoring routes. Two

The distance between the two was only two or three meters, but Lloris did not rush forward rashly to give Li Zhao a chance to make a further breakthrough. Now it seems that the only possible opportunity is the gap between his feet. But even if

Li Zhao completed the crotch shot, and the direction of the ball was definitely not towards the goal.

However, Li Zhao did not hesitate. He successfully penetrated the crotch as everyone thought, but he had a good grasp of the intensity of the kick. The speed of the football after it passed Lloris's crotch was not very fast, which allowed Li Zhao to escape

The goalkeeper caught up with the football in front of the left sideline of the goal. Although it was very close to the goal at this time, the angle of the real shot was completely gone, and the opponent's goalkeeper and defensive players behind him were about to defend. Want to

If you take another step back and adjust, you may miss the last good opportunity that you finally got.

At the critical moment, Li Zhao relied on his sense of the direction of the goal to kick. The football drew an arc toward the far right corner of the goal, but in the end it bounced out with the sound of "clang" hitting the post. At that moment, he

His heart was filled with despair, and it seemed that the next moment he would be judged as a failure by the referee under the whistle. However, luck made a joke to everyone at this moment, and the football that popped up from the knocking post hit him immediately because

Koscielny returned to the defense before he could close his feet, and then rolled towards the goal again, and finally crossed the goal line under the desperate eyes of the home team players.

This goal was eventually counted as an own goal, but who knew that the hero who successfully pulled the Portuguese team back from the death line at the last moment was Li Zhao, and he was immediately pressed on by his excited teammates in a stacked manner.

Under the body.

"It's a pity that this goal can't be attributed to you." Nani said with regret after pulling Li Zhao up from the ground.

"But it's still a good goal. As long as we still have a chance to continue fighting, it will be worth it!" Li Zhao didn't value it that much. Moreover, in the face of the collective honor and disgrace, his personal gains and losses were worth it.

What did it count for?

But such a thrilling heartbeat moment made an old guy in the stands almost faint again.

"Oh, I was scared to death. I almost thought I was going to be embarrassed again!" It was the old man Felix who spoke.

Valley/span "Grandpa Felix, although football is good, for the sake of your health, I still advise you to cherish your life and stay away from this sport!" Doleza, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

, and then he joked.

"That's not possible. For me, losing two years of life is not a big problem, but without football, life will lose a lot of fun!" Felix is ​​a resolute die-hard on this issue. No one can even think about it.

Can be persuaded.

Felix is ​​fine, but there is no guarantee that some people with more fragile hearts than him can survive. From this point of view, truly determined fans still need to have a big heart. But at least for the countless people who care about Portugal

The fans of the team are indeed a big benefit, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

Just after the French team kicked off again, the referee blew the whistle to end the regular game time. The two teams were back on the same starting line. Whoever can break the balance in the next thirty minutes will most likely win.

Win the final victory.

At this moment, Li Zhao suddenly felt that his tired body seemed to have been injected with a new energy. Although it was impossible to reach the peak state when he first played, it was not too much.

"Xiao Mi, you did this, right?" Li Zhao knew very well what was happening to him, and now only Xiao Mi could answer it.

"That's not true. To be precise, your performance just now caused this final to enter overtime, and then activated a new function of the system, which is that after entering the overtime of the key competition, your physical fitness can

Temporarily restore 30% of the heyday, plus the part you originally retained, it is now 70% to 80%. I just helped you turn on this function by the way." Xiaomi responded.

After Li Zhao understood it, he was secretly happy and felt more confident about the overtime match that was about to start soon.

"There are thirty minutes in overtime, so we don't need to be too anxious. In the first half of overtime, we will stop the penalty kick and hand over the initiative to the opponent. As long as we can persist, we will wait until the second half of overtime begins.

This will be the moment when we really exert our strength.

Maybe De Jong can guess my intention, but as the host, they definitely don't want the penalty shootout to be too late to decide the championship, so they are more anxious than us at the moment and have to deal with it according to our routine.

"Santos arranged the overtime very well, and correspondingly in the game, the side with a good mentality is often more likely to control the situation of the game.

Facts also proved Santos's foresight. When the overtime started, Deschamps used up the last substitution in his hand and asked Martial to replace Moussa Sissoko, who mainly played the central midfielder position.

Further strengthen the offensive firepower.

But although the French team was almost full of firepower in the first half of overtime, the results were not satisfactory. Facing the Portuguese team's tenacious defense, they did not even have many opportunities to enter the penalty area. Moreover, with the decline in physical fitness

, by the time there were two or three minutes left in the first half of overtime, they actually could no longer attack.

If you pay attention to the fans in the Portuguese team's coaching bench at this time, you will find a very interesting thing. That is, Ronaldo, who was injured and retired from the game before, seems to be much better now, and has been standing by coach Santos since the beginning of overtime.

Beside him, he cheered for the players on the field, and would also give some reminders from time to time.

"I suddenly have a feeling that if Ronaldo retires and engages in coaching one day in the future, he won't be any worse off!" Xu Genbao, who was watching TV in the Chongming base, suddenly said this, and he was

Several disciples nearby also nodded in disbelief.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the French team was finally able to get a brief respite, but this actually didn't have much effect. And at the beginning of the second half of overtime, something even more desperate came for them. Portugal

The team changed their previous conservative play style and reversed the situation on the field as if they were the visitors. It seemed that the offensive players had more energy when running. This made Deschamps very stunned, knowing that he still had Santos after all.

That old guy's way.

After receiving sufficient physical replenishment, Li Zhao's range of activities and combat effectiveness further increased, allowing him to continuously attack the French team's defense, which also made the defensive players who faced him miserable. And he

The new offensive combination formed with Leonard and Edel is the three most effective players of the Portuguese team at this time. In the 108th minute of the game, the Portuguese team finally reaped the results through continuous efforts and scored the key to the victory or defeat of the two teams.

He scored a goal, and the hero of the goal was Edel, who came on as a substitute late in the second half.

At that time, Li Zhao continued to break through on the left and passed the ball straight to the feet of Eder who was advancing from the center. The latter used his physical advantage to squeeze away Umtiti and then took two steps across the field, and suddenly shot a cold arrow at the front of the penalty area.

, using a low shot to hit the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

This substitute player, who has only played a few times during the European Cup, usually has only a handful of shooting opportunities, and this only goal opened a personal highlight moment. And a high-quality shot like just now,

The chances of him successfully kicking out are also extremely rare in normal times. It can only be said that all this is due to luck or the blessing of God.

The Portuguese team took the lead, and Edel also received the same treatment as Li Zhao when they equalized the score. Perhaps he had never enjoyed such a celebration before, and even several coaching staff including coach Santos

The members and Ronaldo rushed into the field to celebrate.

"Well done, Edel! I knew I made the right decision to send you here." Although Santos knew that this sounded a bit false, he still used it on the hero of the goal without hesitation.

The entire celebration lasted for nearly a minute. When the referee slowly walked over, Santos hurriedly and alertly led the group of people to evacuate the scene.

Later, although the French team was determined to launch a counterattack again, it was limited by the physical condition of the team, and the results were unsatisfactory. They even had to find ways in other aspects. At the 116th minute of the game, Gignac was in the Portuguese team's penalty area.

He used a diving attempt to get another penalty kick, but this time it was too obvious and the referee ignored him in the end.

Finally, as the 120-minute whistle sounded, this protracted European Cup final finally ended with Portugal defeating the host France 2-1. The players and fans of the home team had to leave the field sadly, handing the venue over to Portugal.
Chapter completed!
