This equalizing goal was hard-won. Timing, ability and luck were all indispensable.

"It seems that Richard can't relax for a moment!"

The coach of the Brazilian Olympic team saw clearly the root cause of the goal conceded by his side at a glance, and further strengthened the restrictions on Li Zhao in the following time. However, when there were only more than ten minutes left in the game, he was responsible for

The physical fitness of the players marking him has become difficult to maintain high-intensity follow-up, but Li Zhao's own physical storage is still acceptable, so the actual effect is naturally greatly reduced.

Although Li Zhao continued to perform well, he failed to make new gains in the rest of the regular season. Neymar is in a similar situation. He is no less restricted than Li Zhao.

Brazil also failed to score.

Therefore, after the 90-minute fierce battle ended in regular time, the two sides had to accept the result of a 1-1 draw. In the finals of many large-scale competitions in recent years, as both sides have paid more and more attention to defense, this kind of

The inability to determine the outcome within regular time has gradually become a common phenomenon.

After only a five-minute break, the first half of overtime began. Both sides had the last substitution left in their hands. The Brazilian team played the last card soon after, but Portugal

But he still couldn't bear to use this substitution quota.

Raphinha, the new member of the Brazilian team, has good personal abilities. He is better at ball control and breakthrough. This may not be a big deal in regular time. After all, there are two main players who are equally good at these.

There are a lot of people there, but it has become particularly effective at this time, and it has also caused a lot of trouble for Portugal's backcourt. It's just that he is too sticky to the ball, and he often shoots before shooting.

Due to unnecessary adjustments, many good opportunities were missed.

However, at the end of the first half of overtime, his impact still caused the Portuguese defense to make mistakes. The goalkeeper made a rare move when saving the ball, and Jesus, who was following closely, took the first step and stabbed him.

The success allowed the Brazilian team to once again establish its lead.

Fortunately, there is still the second half of overtime, and Portugal still has a chance to equalize again. At this time, coach Rui can no longer hold on, and he will play the last card in his hand at the beginning of the second half of overtime.

He couldn't move in the backcourt, so he had to replace a midfielder and add a forward. This put a lot of pressure on the midfielder, but he couldn't do it now.

Don't give it a try anymore.

The front line has become three arrows, and the new player is the equally outstanding young player Felix. In terms of personal ability, he is even slightly better than Leonard on the other side of the position, just because he did not have many opportunities to perform before.

But little is known about it.

The Portuguese team's midfield was indeed very thin, so they simply gave up the fight in the midfield and switched to long passes or quick transfers through the midfield. And for those who do not occupy the ball and can do it

For B Fee, who shoots the ball with his feet, this is not a problem for him.

The front three composed of Leonard, Li Zhao and Felix became extremely sharp at this time, making the Brazilian team's defense frequently tense. After several attempts, they finally broke through this defense tenaciously.

This was when the game time reached the 112th minute. B Fei passed a pass to Li Zhao who was rushing all the way on the left. However, although Li Zhao could still maintain a certain impact at this time, he was greatly restricted.

It's also difficult to guarantee that you can drive all the way into the penalty area and still have enough space.

At this time, Felix's insertion on the other side seemed just right, and after Li Zhao broke through a few steps forward and attracted more attention from the opponent's defense, he passed the ball happily. Felix

At this moment, he just happened to appear in the small penalty area. Faced with the rare gap, he took off without hesitation, and then used a headbutt action similar to Ronaldo's to head the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.

2-2, while the Portuguese team equalized the score, it also continued to question the ownership of the final championship of this game.

However, in the remaining overtime time, both sides were unable to break through the opponent's goal, so they once again had to hand over the final suspense to a cruel penalty shootout to resolve. At this time, luck became more important.

The important factor is that the competition is about who makes mistakes first. In this aspect, no one dares to say that they are the victorious generals so far.

"I have a bad feeling that the penalty shootout won't go so well." B Fe, the captain of the Portuguese Olympic team, suddenly said at this moment.

"Don't talk nonsense like this. You may be under too much mental pressure. Just play seriously for a while and don't think too much about other things." The assistant coach on the side hurriedly came over to dissuade him.

"I'm sorry, I was lying." B Fei, who realized that he was talking too much, quickly apologized.

"Although Bruno's words are a bit inappropriate, I think everyone is somewhat unsure. In fact, there is really no need to have too much psychological burden. It is enough of an honor for us to get to this point all the way, and everyone has given their best.

We tried our best, and it would not be a shame even if we failed to survive the final penalty shootout."

Rui was very open about this matter, but on the other hand, he was helpless. If he had the players of the Portuguese national team, he was completely confident that he would win the battle in regular time. Although Li Zhao and others

The ability is indeed good, but it is difficult to make up for the lack of certain positions. It is indeed very good to be able to get to this point with the current configuration.

But the time for everyone to take a breath was really short. Li Zhao didn't even think about what opinions to express, and the time was already up. However, it seems that most of the things that should be said have been said, so there is really no need for him to add any more.

.

Of course, B Fei's worry also exists in his heart, but he just didn't say it out loud. He may be able to avoid making mistakes when making free throws, but if someone else makes a mistake, he is also powerless. To put it bluntly,

It still depends on the overall performance. If the teammates don't give their best, it will still be in vain.

The order of players from both sides taking penalty kicks has been established. Portugal took the first penalty kick, and the first one to go to the penalty spot was Felix, the hero of the second goal. But because of the

Because he has less playing time, everyone is still a little worried about him.

"It's okay, he can do it." Although Li Zhao didn't have much contact with Felix, he had a very accurate eye for seeing people, and he had already faintly noticed the strong confidence exuding from him before.

Felix, who regards Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol in life, has indeed lived up to his trust. Although this powerful volley does not have many highlights, it is not so easy to defend. With the soft sound of "shua", the football is on the opponent's side.

Before the goalkeeper had time to react, he had already moved into the goal he was guarding.

Scoring the first penalty goal was undoubtedly a good start for the Portuguese team, but the Brazilian team's first penalty kick was also scored steadily, so the two sides were on the same starting line again.

Next, Leonardo, who came on second for Portugal, and Paciencia, who came on third, also made great efforts to score the free throws, but the Brazilian team was also very tight, and they did not make any mistakes.

The fourth person to come on stage was Captain B Fei. He still looked a little nervous. The previous enlightenment may have had some effect on him, but it seemed too difficult to calm him down in such a short period of time.

After looking at the location of the penalty spot, he walked over slowly. Although he hadn't figured out how to take the penalty kick yet, this moment was bound to come sooner or later, and delaying it for a while would not change anything.

B Fei glanced at the lower right corner of the goal from the corner of his eye, and this subtle movement allowed the opponent's No. 1 goalkeeper Pereira to accurately grasp it. Originally, if his explosive power when kicking the ball was strong enough and the angle was tricky enough,

, even if the goalkeeper judged the right direction, he would probably be able to do nothing, but B Fei was not good at explosive power, and with a trace of hesitation still remaining in his heart, he was too light at the moment of kicking the ball, so the ball finally

He was intercepted by the opponent's goalkeeper in front of the goal line.

Pereira, who saved this penalty kick, roared with excitement on the spot, because this save was so crucial that it might even affect the final result. It was indeed enough, as long as the next Brazilian player took the penalty kick

If they don't make any mistakes, they can win the final victory.

For the Portuguese team, this mistake is quite fatal. Unless the Brazilian team also makes a mistake on the penalty kick or its own goalkeeper can save the penalty kick, it will make up for it. In terms of probability, not saving the ball is

It is a normal phenomenon, but to catch the ball requires extraordinary performance, so the difficulty of success can be said to be quite high.

"Bruno, you have tried your best, so there is no need to blame yourself too much." Although he knew that such words seemed a bit pale, Li Zhao still stood up and comforted Fei B immediately.

"Varela, let's see if you can create a miracle." Looking back, Li Zhao gave encouragement to his No. 1 goalkeeper. As the captain, B Fei was in a very low mood because he missed the penalty kick. This time

Only he is more suitable to stand up.

"You'd better take care of yourself first, and then it will be your turn to take the free throw." Although goalkeeper Varela also understood this truth, his face showed some disapproval.

It's a pity that Varela didn't have the ability to turn the tide, and even made a mistake in his judgment of the incoming ball. The fourth Brazilian player on the field deceived him with a fake move, and then easily hit the middle of the goal with a spoon ball.

Although this result was expected, it was a blow to the morale of the Portuguese team.

Finally it was Li Zhao's turn to take the field. Although his penalty may not be able to reverse the decline, it was still very crucial. After quietly holding his breath and concentrating, Li Zhao quickly and decisively ran to the penalty spot. In the process, he also used

With his scissor-kick shooting style, such changes are extremely difficult to prevent and judge. In addition, the opponent's goalkeeper cannot have studied his way of kicking penalty kicks, so he was naturally caught.

Although Li Zhao scored the penalty kick, the Portuguese team still retained some hope, but the danger has not been eliminated. If Neymar scores the fifth penalty kick of the Brazilian team, the one who will be eliminated will still be

Portugal team.

"You're going to miss the penalty!" Although he knew that such a psychological suggestion would not have much effect, Li Zhao still muttered softly as he passed by Neymar.

"Haha!" Neymar couldn't help but feel amused. He understood the other party's intention of doing this very well. A few years ago, it might have affected him a little, but now that he has a strong mind, how could he care about this.

Stepping on the pace of disowning his relatives, Neymar kicked a shot from a tricky angle without any tricks. Although Portugal's No. 1 goalkeeper Varela judged the right direction and fought hard, he still could not prevent the goal.

6-5, with Neymar’s stable performance at the last moment, the Brazilian team finally won the final championship of the men’s football event of this Olympic Games as the host country, and this large gold medal will also help Brazil to be on the Olympic medal list.

One step further. Although it still cannot make it into the top ten, it is still a big improvement compared to the previous years.

But it was undoubtedly painful for Li Zhao and the Portuguese Olympic team members at this time. In fact, they did not lose badly, they could only be regarded as missing a thousand miles. But even that little difference was enough to decide

The championship finally belongs to us.

"Don't be discouraged! At least you can still get a silver medal. After all, Brazil is the host this time, so this result is not necessarily a bad thing for you. On the contrary, it may indirectly save you. Otherwise, you can

Think of the local Brazilian fans who angrily surrounded you. Don’t think I’m being alarmist, if you still want to hang out here.” Neymar came over to stop Li Zhao at the last moment before he left the field.

, and then said these strange comforting words.

"Your way of enlightenment is quite damaging. Why do I have the urge to beat you up! You'd better pray that we won't encounter each other in the next Olympics, otherwise I will definitely find my way back to you." Li

Of course, Zhao also understands that some of Neymar’s words are not unreasonable, but he still feels a little uncomfortable when saying them in such a tone. If the private relationship between the two had not been good, based on what he just said, the two

It's not impossible for someone to fall out on the spot.

"I am very willing to accept your challenge, but I'm afraid I have no chance in the Olympics. After all, I have reached my age. But you are still young. I believe you will have a great chance in the next Olympics.

But forget about the bet, don’t take it seriously. Although Barcelona is good, it may not really be suitable for you, and I may leave there soon. You must not tell anyone about this!

The reason why I came here is to say this." Neymar rejected Li Zhao's opportunity to challenge again, but then exploded with an even bigger thunder.

"If that's the case, then I really should think about it carefully."

Li Zhao was noncommittal for a moment, but then he smiled and said: "It seems that I can only compete with you after I arrive in Europe. If we still belong to leagues in different countries, we will not even compete with you until we are in the Champions League."

You may encounter it.
