Chapter 1240 World Cup Legend "Pyrrhus' Victory"

The arrival of overtime made the entire stadium begin to be filled with a cruel atmosphere. At this point in the game, even the German team, which is famous for its physical fitness, has consumed more than half of it. Brazil, who is playing at home, cannot fully exert its technical advantages. After all, physical fitness is the foundation of everything. Now it is very likely that one goal will determine the outcome. As long as whoever scores a goal first, he can basically reach the coveted final.

The momentum of the Brazilian team is even more fierce. The attacking players of the Selecao are all-pervasive in their running positions, and their smooth cooperation is like mercury pouring down the ground.Although the Brazilian performed well in penalty shootouts, he still cannot compare with the German team, which has never missed a penalty shootout.

Although the penalty shootout is more beneficial to the German team, the Germans know that if the Brazilians attack, they may not survive the penalty shootout at all. Their strength is not inferior to that of the Brazilian team, so they naturally refuse to shrink and play defense in the backcourt Counterattack, the German team also pulled out and played against the Brazilian team.

In the 10th minute of the extra time, the Brazilian team finally made a successful counterattack. Silva intercepted the ball in the backcourt and made a long pass to counterattack. Kaka received the ball and moved forward. Pato, Robinho, Nei Marr fired four arrows at high speed into the penalty area of ​​the German team.

Although the German team only had three defensive players in the backcourt, they were not flustered. Khedira went directly to intercept his Real Madrid teammate Kaka. The other two central defenders, Hummels and Mertesacker, did not mark. , but blocked the two main roads leading to the penalty area, forcing the opponents to both sides, and not giving them the opportunity to face the goal.

Khedira originally intended to use tactical fouls to bring down Kaka, but Kaka's long-distance strikes are very characteristic. He can always keep a moderate distance from the defensive players, so that the opponent cannot attack, because once you attack, Kaka As soon as the card speeds up, it will pass you, and it will be difficult for you to catch people.

Seeing that Kaka was getting closer, Khedira had no choice but to boldly step forward and steal. After Kaka pressed himself and the two central defenders together, the German team's defense had no level, and it was easy to be exploited. The Brazilian broke through the defense.

However, when Kaka changed direction and accelerated, Khedira swung away. After Khedira was passed by, he didn't even have the distance to reach out to pull him. .However, Kaka's dribbling speed was very fast, and Khedira's tackle did not touch the ball or anyone.

Kaka didn't look behind, otherwise Kaka, who had just recovered from his injury, might have given up the opportunity to attack and would have to ask Khedira why he was so ruthless.

Mertesacker had to move over to fill his position, otherwise Kaka would drive straight in and form a tendency to go to the meeting alone.But he lost his position after coming over, Robinho has moved to the line that Mertesacker just got stuck.

Kaka made a timely pass, and the ball just passed to the direction where Robinho was running, so that Robinho could choose whether to shoot or continue to dribble into the penalty area.

Robinho chose to continue to break through.

After Robinho broke into the penalty area, goalkeeper Neuer rushed out at high speed and flew to catch the ball at Robinho's feet.

Robinho flicked the ball to one side quickly, and the other foot just hit the first block, and a beautiful short version of the "fried meatball" flashed past Neuer.

However, Robinho just calculated that Neuer will definitely be passed, but he forgot that Neuer is a goalkeeper and he can still use his hands. Before Robinho could shoot an empty goal, he was dragged by Neuer's hand fell to the ground.

"...Robinho fell down...a penalty? It's definitely a penalty? As long as the referee is not blind, he knows what to do. The African referee rushed to the scene of the incident. He The finger... pointed to the penalty spot! Really a penalty! Brazil got a penalty?"

"Ah! Ah! The referee showed Neuer a red card. This was his first red card in the game. Neuer was sent off..."

"It was a devastating blow!"

Prolonged applause erupted from the stands, and the fans of the Brazilian team chanted "The referee is wise!" "Long live the referee!" The atmosphere of the stadium was extremely lively.

"...Schweinsteiger rushed forward angrily, the German players surrounded the referee Koulibaly, the coach Loew also ran to question the fourth official... But it was no use, the referee Referee Koulibaly insisted on his decision, everything is irreversible... 10 minutes of extra time...Brazil penalty!"

"... Pato stood on the penalty spot, and he took the penalty. He was waiting for the German team to make a substitution. The German team had no choice but to replace the center Gomez with substitute goalkeeper Adler. .”

"The German team has a lot of talents in the goalkeeper. Adler, who is about the same age as Neuer, is also a talented goalkeeper. Now he will accept the test of Pato, who scored the second most goals in the World Cup...Ah! ah! ah Ah! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Adler saved Pato's penalty... Adler saved a point for the German team. If Pato scored this penalty, the game would be over Without any suspense, the German team with one less player is unlikely to reverse the Brazilian team... "

After playing one more player, the advantage of the Brazilian team is very obvious. They control more than 70.00% of the ball. They spend most of their time in the half of the German team, but the German team is still struggling. The toughest game that the Chinese played in this World Cup, and it is likely to be the last game. They have already started to defend across the board. If they defend the last 15 minutes, they will be able to drag the Brazilian into a penalty shootout. At that time, one more man and less One person makes no difference.

But Brazil being Brazil, they have a lot of talent who can solve games in a flash.In the 20th minute of overtime, the young Ganso stood up again. With his back to the goal and being defended by Khedira, he stopped the ball with his chest, turned around, and made a surprise move. Half turned around and volleyed to overtake the score.

2: 1.
The whole stadium is boiling!All the Brazilian fans jumped up, waving their arms and chanting, "Champion! Final!" "Final! Champion!"

The players and coaches on the coach's bench and the bench also rushed out at the same time. They hugged each other tightly and celebrated this hard-won goal.

The German fans were stunned, and the German players were stunned. They didn't expect Ganso to hit such a world wave under such circumstances. This kind of ball is like a fairy ball, which is hard to come by, but they met them today. When it arrived, the German sent off one person first, and now his opponent scored such a fairy ball. The Germans were extremely depressed.

But the German chariots are the German chariots. They did not hand in their guns and surrender because they were behind by one goal. They stubbornly launched a final charge to the Brazilian team after kick-off. They will never admit defeat. , Even if they persist until the last moment, they will not give up hope and attack. This is the spirit of Germany.

The Germans' attack was not as smooth as the Brazilians', and the mercury was pouring down the ground. They were like a horrifying armored army rolling over with a pace that shocked the world, creating a kind of suffocating pressure.

The Brazilian team is actually at the end of its strength at this time. Under the desperate counterattack of the German team, they can't resist, so they can only shrink back and fight back.

The last 10 minutes became the most difficult and embarrassing 10 minutes for the Brazilian team in this World Cup. Facing the German team with one less player, they were forced to play intensive defense and use their superiority in numbers to resist the German attack.

The Brazilian fans were also nervous. They tried their best to cheer for their players, and even threw objects into the field to delay the time in order to stop the Germans on the field.

In the sense of fans and players on both sides, time is now ticking by seconds.

In the last minute of overtime, the Germans got a good chance. The German core Ozil, who had been contained by the Brazilian team, suddenly gave up the middle and cruising to the side. He passed his teammate Marcelo and knocked down Ronaldo. Binho slashed towards the penalty area from near the baseline. Marcelo had no choice but to reach out and pull Ozil down on the line of the penalty area.He also received his second yellow card of the game.

The German team got the last chance to attack.

Everyone in the German team stood in the penalty area, pinning all their hopes on this attack, and they ran out of time.

Ozil shot directly from a free kick. The ball bounced off the goalkeeper Cesar. The penalty area became a mess. Everyone couldn't tell who the enemy was or who the opponent was. Anyway, they swung the ball when they saw it. Step up.

The ball tossed in the penalty area for more than ten seconds, causing the Brazilian fans to almost collapse. Most of them didn't dare to look at it anymore, they just closed their eyes and prayed to God, waiting for the last few tens of seconds to pass safely.

Dozens of seconds seemed as long as decades. Finally, the referee Koulibaly blew the whistle for the end of the game. The Germans failed to create another miracle. The Brazilians had the last laugh. They played 120 minutes. With a score of 2:1, the German giants were eliminated and reached the final.

However, the Brazilians also paid a painful price. Their two magic wings, the world's first and second full-backs Marcelo and Alves are all suspended, and Kaka is also injured. It can be called a miserable victory.

In the post-match press conference, Brazil coach Menezes sighed while being happy: the game was too difficult and the Germans were too tenacious. Our victory can be called "Pyrrhus' victory". It's like the plane has broken two wings. The only thing I expect now is that the Chinese team will eliminate England and reach the final, otherwise the final will also be very difficult for us. "
