Li Zhao's words still had a certain effect. At least the team members knew that they had no way out. If they continued as they were now, the result would be needless to say. But if they gritted their teeth and fought hard, they might not be able to reverse it in the end.

situation, at least there will be no regrets in my heart, and it is self-evident how to choose.

Although Li Zhao's ability was not among the most outstanding players in the national team, in the current Olympic team, he stands out from the crowd, so he is naturally the target of the opponent's attention on the court.

After the game restarted, Li Zhao and B Fei briefly exchanged positions. This made it even more difficult for the opponent player who was responsible for marking him to keep up with him. Li Zhao could use this adjustment to

Control the rhythm appropriately and look for more opportunities.

Although being behind in the score made Li Zhao very anxious, he was more calm than before and was always looking for every opportunity. Of course, he understood that real good opportunities do not come by waiting, but that he needs to find a way.

Create, this is also the quality that must be possessed to become a top player.

At the current stage of the game, the physical strength of the players on both sides has actually declined seriously. In comparison, Li Zhao's physical condition is much better. His physical fitness is already stronger than that of most young players, and as the game progresses, Li Zhao's physical condition is much better.

In the final stage of the game, this advantage became more and more obvious. The opponent's players who were previously marking him were the first to collapse in terms of physical fitness, so his opportunity came.

Finally, after the game entered the 80th minute, Li Zhao caught a rare opportunity. First, he used B Fee to cover for him and successfully escaped the defender next to him. Then, he continued to cooperate with Leonard against the wall.

He entered the penalty area. Faced with the gap in front of him, he did not hesitate and decisively used a classic "Flying Bolide" move to penetrate the goal in front.

3-4, after pulling back a goal, the morale of the Portuguese team was once again boosted. At least they once again saw hope. But there was not much time left for them. After injury time was added, it would still be less than ten seconds.

To achieve an absolute tie within minutes, and considering that the physical fitness of the entire Portuguese team is about to bottom out, this task is indeed a very difficult one.

The German team coach had obviously noticed Li Zhao's situation a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he would be so active at this time and score another goal. If this problem is not solved, it will definitely become their biggest threat. So at this time,

They had to use up the last substitution spot and replace the person who was specifically guarding Li Zhao with another new force. This restricted him for a period of time, but it still failed to completely kill him in the final blow.

Just after the time entered the stoppage time, the player responsible for marking him suddenly became distracted for some reason, and Li Zhao seized this opportunity that was not a chance to score again.

The process of scoring this time was that Leonard successfully intercepted the ball in the midfield. After noticing the situation on Li Zhao's side, he quickly passed the ball over. After receiving the ball, Li Zhao did not have any teammates around him to respond, but

This was also the last chance, and he just relied on his own personal ability to break into the penalty area. This time, the defensive players outflanked him better than before, but with no more options, Li Zhao

He also had to force his kick to shoot.

His kick initially seemed to have little chance of success, but he was lucky enough. The ball refracted after hitting the defensive player's body, and accidentally bounced to the other side of the goal in the opposite direction to the opponent's goalkeeper.

, and then rolled into the net nest.

Although the goal he scored at the last moment seemed to be due to luck, in fact the purpose of the ball was still within his calculations, which is equivalent to the fact that the ball was refracted after hitting the defensive player's body intentionally.

Although the success rate depends on a certain amount of luck, once it succeeds, it will be difficult for the opponent's goalkeeper to react. Just because the success rate is really not high, if it is not under such a forced situation, Li

Zhao still doesn't think much of using this trick.

This kind of move was something he had deliberately trained. Wang Ziyi and Dai Na had suffered this loss when fighting him, and they nicknamed it "death refraction". However, Li Zhao always felt that this did not seem right.

It was too auspicious, so after some thinking, I named it "Mysterious Refraction", which means that although it seems accidental, it actually contains a mystery.

4-4, Li Zhao helped the Portuguese team come back to life at the last minute and also achieved a personal hat trick in this game.

"Today's game was indeed not easy, especially for Richard. Thanks to his outstanding performance, we can continue to fight. To be able to fight like this, I know that everyone has tried their best. But now we still have

This is not the time when we can take a breath, because the more difficult moments are about to come. The German team is indeed much stronger than our overall strength, but since we did not lose to them in regular time, let alone in overtime.

I can’t stand the truth anymore. I have no other requirements for you. It would be best if you can score a goal. If not, it doesn’t matter if you drag them into a penalty shootout. The final result will be left to fate! We will see you later.

Just play like this..." Portugal coach Rui took advantage of this moment to come to the sidelines and personally lift the legs of one of the players. After cheering the players, he began to race against time to arrange the tactics for the overtime game.

Come.

Gu Chan/span In addition to the Portuguese fans themselves, there were also many C nationality fans who were watching the game. Many of them came after watching other C national team games before.

The regret of not being able to see their own men's football team in the Olympics will be relieved by the Portuguese men's football team. Today's game was also fierce, especially Li Zhao's hat trick.

He was so proud that it didn't seem so important at this time as to whether he represented the C national team.

The five-minute break was indeed short. It was not even enough for some fans in the stadium to go to the toilet, and overtime officially began again.

Although the German team once again exerted force at the beginning of the overtime, the Portuguese team, which had adapted to this rhythm, successfully blocked this wave of attacks. As time went by, the German team's weakness in follow-up also began to appear.

It quickly switched from strategic attack to strategic defense. But now the Portuguese team is also unable to cope. Even Li Zhao, who had plenty of physical strength before, now feels a little tired and can no longer maintain that high-intensity.

Sprinted.

After both sides used up all their substitutions, the situation on the field still did not change much. In the end, after 30 minutes of overtime, both sides failed to break through the opposite city gate again and had to use

The most direct and cruel way is the penalty shootout to finally decide who should go and who should stay.

By guessing the coin, the German team won the right to take the first free throw, which is very beneficial to them. After all, the pressure on the opponent is great after the penalty is scored, but this is also relative, the side that takes the first free throw is

If the goal is not scored, the situation will be reversed in an instant.

The first person to go to the penalty spot was No. 4 Ginter. His penalty kick was powerful and heavy. Although Portuguese goalkeeper Varela judged the right direction, he still failed to prevent the opponent's goal.

This time the pressure naturally came to the Portuguese team, but the captain B Fei, who was the first to appear, still withstood the pressure and successfully scored the ball. Both sides scored in the first round, so the two sides returned to the original balance point.

superior.

In the next three rounds of free throws, the German team's Max, Sur, and Brandt, as well as the Portuguese team's Fernando, Leonard and Oliveira, all successfully scored the ball, making this game a reality.

We have entered the stage in advance where winning or losing is determined by one goal.

At this time, Peterson, the fifth substitute center on the German team, made a mistake. His free throw was weak and was directly blocked by goalkeeper Varela. In an instant, the German team's auditorium was completely silent, while the opposite team's penalty kick was blocked by goalkeeper Varela.

The Portuguese fans in the stands were filled with joy, looking forward to their next free throw to end the game.

As the fifth free throw shooter of the Portuguese team, Li Zhao is undoubtedly under great pressure. If he can withstand him, he will be the hero. If he misses, the competition will continue.

Fortunately, he has done a lot of specialized training in this area in the past two years. Today's penalty kick level is naturally different from the same level, and the corresponding psychological endurance in this aspect has also been greatly enhanced.

When the referee blew the whistle, Li Zhao took a deep breath, and then ran towards the penalty kick with a unique rhythm. This pace had an elusive change in frequency. When Li Zhao touched the opponent's goalkeeper

Before reaching the ball, the body was already slightly tilted to one side.

The changes in Li Zhao's free throw action did not stop there. There was another change in Li Zhao's free throw action. He changed into a scissor kick at the last moment before shooting, which caused the goalkeeper to completely make a mistake in judging the kick-off. And his that

There was nothing he could do at that time, and he could only watch helplessly as the ball coming in the completely opposite direction to the one he saved in the end entered the goal in front of him.

Compared with the World Youth Championship more than two years ago, this time Li Zhao really did not leave any regrets and ended his opponent in the penalty shootout. He led the young Portuguese team to a thrilling victory over the opponent and became the winner of the quarter-finals.
