Sign in to the stadium to be invincible

Chapter 450
July 7, Berlin Olympic Stadium.

The semi-final between Denmark and Portugal has come to No.90 minutes of the second half, and the score is still 0:0.

The defense of the two teams has reached the extreme.

Cristiano Ronaldo has tried his best in this game, but if the opponent's goalkeeper has a miracle, he has kept the Portuguese team's goals away several times in a row.

Schmeichel.

This is a name that must be remembered in world football.

Kasper Schmeichel is 37 years old this year, and this is his last World Series.

His father, Peter Schmeichel, was the goalkeeper of the national team that created the Danish fairytale and was also an important member of Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League.

In this game, Schmeichel Jr. showed his super talent. Not only did he save several threatening shots from the Portuguese team in a row, but even a penalty kick from Ronaldo made Schmeichel Jr. save it.

In overtime, the players on both sides had fought until the last minute and were exhausted, but the goal still did not come.

Brutal penalty shootout.

After four rounds of penalty kicks, Ronaldo stood on the penalty spot, in front of the man who had saved his penalty kick before.

With a relaxed face, Schmeichel pointed to his right side, indicating that Ronaldo can kick there, and he will not jump.

In the penalty shootout, the goalkeeper is the most stress-free.

It's normal to not be able to save a penalty kick.

If you catch it, it's the door god.

Anyway, there is no disadvantage inside or outside.

However, the psychological pressure of every player who takes a penalty kick is very huge.

In almost every penalty shootout in the World Series, there will be superstars who stumble in penalty kicks.

The most famous is naturally the heartbreaking back of the Italian star Roberto Baggio.

At the Rose Bowl, on the stage of the World Cup final, Roberto Baggio missed a penalty and watched Brazil win the championship.

Thirty years later, Ronaldo stood on the stage of the semi-finals and faced Schmeichel, the father and son goalkeeper, his face became grim.

The referee blew the whistle in his mouth, Ronaldo exhaled fiercely, started to run up, and after three steps, he kicked vigorously.

Although Schmeichel was very relaxed, his eyes never left Ronaldo, observing Ronaldo's every move, observing Ronaldo's breathing, observing the changes in Ronaldo's facial muscles...

The moment Ronaldo's right foot touched the football, Schmeichel, like a cheetah preying on an antelope, bounced it out.

Everyone screamed in panic, because Schmeichel Jr. judged the direction of Ronaldo's penalty kick correctly.

I saw that Schmeichel's ape arm was relaxed, and he took Ronaldo's penalty kick out of the baseline with a single palm.

Ronaldo had a painful expression on his face, with his hands on his hips, looking up at the sky.

He knew that his career would still end in regret.

After Schmeichel Jr. saved the penalty, he waved his arms excitedly, as if the victory had already come into their hands.

However, they still have to hit the last penalty before they can successfully advance to the European Cup final.

Portugal's main goalkeeper today is veteran Patricio.

He is 36 years old this year, and it is estimated that this will be his last World Series.

When passing by Ronaldo, he whispered, "I will try my best!"

Ronaldo smiled wryly, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.

Patricio walked to the goal and watched Denmark's last penalty taker as he walked slowly from midfield.

Delaney, playing for Dortmund.

Now all the pressure has enveloped him.

However, there was no panic on Delaney's face, and his calm look made people feel inexplicably relieved about him.

Delaney put the football lightly on the penalty spot and started to step back, however, he did not make any eye contact with Patricio.

Patricio kept jumping left and right on the goal line, trying to disturb Delaney's mentality.

The referee blew his whistle, and Delaney looked up at Patricio. He was surprised, because Patricio did not stand in the middle of the goal as he expected, but stood one-third to the left.

In other words, there is a huge space on the right now, as long as he kicks there, even Patricio can't react.

But, could this be a trap for the other party?

Draenei, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt a little worried about gains and losses after being teased by Patricio.

Moving in sync with Delaney, Patricio made a motion to return to his original position.

Delaney's heart suddenly began to waver.

Which side is it fighting?

However, the run-up distance is so short, Delaney has not yet decided which side to play, but his people have already arrived in front of the football.

Delaney's hasty kick was caught under Patricio's body with an easy side throw.

Delaney covered his face with a pale face, while Patricio raised his arms and screamed excitedly.

Patricio pulled Portugal back from the abyss.

From now on, life and death are determined by one ball.

Ronaldo couldn't help but shed tears of excitement in the midfield.

Patricio saved Portugal and himself.

Little Schmeichel once again stood on the goal line, his face no longer relaxed before.

Portugal's sixth appearance is defender Cancelo, who plays for Manchester City.

Cancelo is a very important wide player for Manchester City, who can play from full-back to winger.

He came to the penalty spot, put down the football casually, took a few steps back, and waited for the referee's whistle.

The whistle blew, Cancelo made a run-up, and shot a powerful shot. Although Schmeichel Jr. judged the right direction, due to too much force, the football went directly into the goal.

Little Schmeichel slapped the ground hard.

Cancelo shook his fist fiercely, and the task was completed.

Everyone in the Portuguese team rejoiced.

On the other hand, the Danish team became more dignified.

The sixth player for the Danish team is defender Christensen, who plays for Chelsea.

Patricio stood on the goal line and repeated his old tricks, making all kinds of strange movements on the goal line to distract Christensen.

Christensen didn't look at him at all, but kept staring at the football on the penalty spot.

The referee whistled and Christensen started to run, but he still didn't look at Patricio's position.

With a "bang", Christensen's outer instep slammed on the football.

The football flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.
