After Zidane scored a penalty, Fiorentina's second penalty kicker went to the penalty point. To many people's surprise, Capello did not let another striker, Inzagi, on the court, take the penalty this time, but instead sent Robert Carlos, the left back!

"Oh! What did we see! The second penalty kicker in Fiorentina is actually their left back, Brazilian Robert Carlos!" The commentator was also incredible by Capello's arrangement and said in surprise, "Although Carlos often takes free kicks in the game, and as a Brazilian, his footwork is also quite good, but it is the first time he has to take the penalty kick. Coach Capello is really bold!"

Standing in front of the goal, Peruzz bent down, opened his hands, stared at Carlos with wide eyes, in an attempt to create greater psychological pressure on the opponent and thus increase his chance of saving a penalty.

Many Fiorentine fans in the stands covered their mouths nervously, fearing that their voices would affect Carlos' performance. Juventus fans made completely different actions. They kept shouting in the stands, trying to interfere with Carlos' performance.

After looking at the surroundings, Kragg finally blew the whistle in his mouth!

It was almost the same as when taking the free kick, Carlos still made a long-distance run and rushed towards the ball!

When Peruzz, who was extremely nervous, saw that Carlos had raised his foot and was about to shoot, he immediately rushed to the right like an arrow that had taken off the string! In his impression, Carlos' shooting angle was not very tricky, but the super fast speed forced Peruzz to make a judgment in advance, otherwise even if he judged the right direction,

However, after Peruzzi reacted, Carlos's movement suddenly had a clear pause in the moment he was about to hit the ball!

This time, the Italian goalkeeper who had already moved the center of gravity had no way to make any adjustments to his body. He could only watch Carlos change the angle of the shot and send the ball to the other side of the goal!

Two to one! Florence is leading again!

After seeing the ball shot by Carlos flew into the goal, the Fiorentine fans who finally put their heart hanging back in their stomachs celebrated loudly in the stands, while the Juventus fans looked disappointed, and at the same time, they looked at the second Juventus player who walked up to pay the penalty with hopeful eyes.

Seeing that the person who came up was Didier Deschamps, Tordo quickly took out the note from his socks, took a serious look at Deschamps' habit of penalty kicks recorded on it, and then folded the note and stuffed it back.

Because Toldo's series of movements were very fast, and the cameras on the court were pointing the cameras at Deschamps, who were walking towards the free throw point, no one noticed Toldo's small movement. Only some fans sitting behind the goal discovered Toldo's abnormality, but they did not see clearly what Toldo was holding just now.

Deschamps placed the ball on the penalty spot, took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous mood, and then immediately started running up after hearing the referee's whistle, and then started shooting!

However, in order to better control the ball, Deschamps was a little too stable when shooting, which made his right foot push seem a bit insufficient!

Toldo, who was ready, kicked the ground and rushed towards his right the moment Deschamps shot the ball!

Unlike when playing against Zidane, this time Toldo finally caught up with the speed of the ball flying. He fell to the ground in time after judging the right path of the ball, crossed his arm and blocked the ball directly out of the bottom line!

"Toldo! He saved the penalty shot from Deschamps! Beautiful down-to-ground save! With the penalty shootout in two rounds, Fiorentina took the lead by two to one!"

Seeing that the penalty kick he shot was saved by Toldo, Deschamps held his head with his hands incredible expression. Although he did not use all his strength to shoot in order to ensure the success rate of the penalty kick, the angle was quite tricky. Unless the opponent's goalkeeper made a save at the first time, it would be almost impossible to block his shot!

In other words, the Fiorentine goalkeeper definitely made a prediction the moment he shot, and it was very likely to be a save action made by relying on that so-called intuition!

This guy is really lucky! Deschamps, who thought he was defeated by luck, thought dejectedly. Although the penalty shootout has only been held for two rounds and the Zebras still have a lot of chances to turn the tables, no one will be able to return to his team as if nothing had happened after missing the penalty.

Afterwards, in the next third round of penalty shooters, Philip Inzaggi, who was the first to play, cleanly shot the ball into the lower left corner of the goal. Although Peruzzi made the correct save, he was slowing down a beat and could not save the ball. He could only watch the football that was rubbing his fingertips flew into the gate behind him!

After Inzagi scored a penalty kick, the scores of both sides in the penalty shootout have been rewritten to three-to-one!

Therefore, in such a situation, Dilivioton, who represented Juventus' third appearance and took the penalty kick, felt huge pressure because if he missed this penalty, as long as the fourth player in Fiorentina hits the next shot, Juventus will lose the final of the Champions League!

Under the tremendous psychological pressure, Dilivio successfully shot the ball into the goal guarded by Toldo under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans in the game, and tied the score to two to three, retaining a glimmer of hope for Juventus!

Thordo hammered the turf with a depressed look on his face, just like Zidane's penalty kick. Although he judged the right direction, he failed to block the ball.

Next was the fourth round of the match. In just a few minutes, the ceiling of the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium was almost shattered by the roar of Juventus fans - because Rui Costa, who appeared first, missed this critical penalty!

Although the Portuguese shot angle very tricky and successfully deceived Peruzzi, the flying ball hit the post of the goal and rolled out of the bottom line!

Then, Blank, who was the fourth appearance in Juventus, successfully broke Tordo's ten fingers and tied the score to a three-to-three draw!

In this way, after four rounds of penalty shootouts, both sides returned to the same starting line again!
Chapter completed!
