Seeing that Michael Richards didn't have a foot, Xu Zhou suddenly threw the ball in the direction of the penalty area. Xu Zhou wanted to volley directly from the foot of the penalty area.However, Michael Richards reacted very quickly. When Xu Zhou was waving the ball, he immediately stepped up and blocked the angle of Xu Zhou's shot! !
The Italian fans were extremely nervous for a while. Could it be that the opportunity that was so difficult to get is just over?At this moment, Xu Zhou, who was about to shoot, suddenly flicked his ankle and raised the ball. The ball quickly bypassed the entire defense line of the England U21 national team and flew to the other side of the England U21 national team's penalty area.

At this time, England fans suddenly jumped up from their seats in the stands and exclaimed.Because, they saw that Italian U21 national team striker Parowski had rushed out of the England U21 national team's defenders, diving wildly to the top, heading for the ball!

"Dive to the top... Parowski..." the ESPN commentator roared frantically.

The faces of the England fans changed drastically, and they held the ball very nervously.At the same time, Pierce, the head coach of the England U21 national team, was also watching all this nervously, while Cassie, the head coach of the Italian U21 national team, was staring at Parowski with great anticipation.

Jumping to the top, the ball suddenly changed direction and flew towards the goal of the England U21 national team, causing an uproar in the audience.At this time, Rauch, the goalkeeper of the England U21 national team, came sideways with colorful rays of light, stretched out his hands suddenly, and saved the ball out of the baseline.

corner kick! !Corner kick for the Italian U21 national team!

This is the first corner kick in overtime. From here, you can also see how flat the overtime between the two sides was before.It was not until the end of overtime that the game gradually became more intense. However, the offense of the England U21 national team did not improve at all, and the Italian U21 national team was suppressed at halftime.Of course, the Italian U21 national team did not dare to go all-in to the half of the England U21 national team at this time. They were afraid of the counterattack of the England U21 national team.

For a corner kick, Giovinco drove the corner directly to the middle, and Cristo and Ranocchia, who rushed into the penalty area of ​​the England U21 national team, jumped wildly.However, the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Michael Richards in front.

"Danger... Counterattack..." The ESPN commentator roared frantically, and at this time he also felt the blood boiling in his heart.

In the stands, England fans yelled wildly: "Come on... Counterattack... Fuck the Italians..."

Pierce, the head coach of the England U21 national team, was jumping crazily on the sidelines, his hands kept sliding forward, which meant that the players of the England U21 national team hurriedly pressed me forward.

Casiraghi, the head coach of the Italian U21 national team, also went crazy in the first time. He suddenly roared from the sidelines: "Back to defense...back to defense...back to defense..."

In the middle, Mwamba made a direct long pass and found Walcott in front.After catching the ball, Walcott brushed past Andreoli who rushed up to foul.Turn around, take the ball and rush towards the penalty area of ​​the Italian U21 national team...

"It's passed... Walcott passed... Italy is dangerous..." the ESPN commentator roared frantically.

Thornton of the Italian U21 national team did not make a save. He was retreating and blocked the middle.Walcott was not allowed to pass, but Walcott did not want to pass, stepped into the penalty area, Walcott quickly took the ball to the side, and then directly kicked the ball to the back corner with his right foot before Thornton blocked it! !

"SHOOT..." The ESPN commentator roared frantically.

Fiorino, the goalkeeper of the Italian U21 national team, made a sideways save, but the ball was too fast for him to do anything.

Seeing the ball passing in front of Fiorino, the England fans cheered wildly, while the Italian fans opened their eyes wide, in disbelief! !
"Ah...the sliding door passed...the ball rubbed against the back corner post and rolled out of the bottom line. The England U21 national team is only one goal post away from the lore..." The ESPN commentator explained in shock.

"Flute... flute... flute..." Two short whistles and one long three whistles suddenly sounded in the new Malmö stadium, and the overtime match between the England U21 national team and the Italian U21 national team ended!
"Ah..." Walcott, who missed the ball, knelt in the penalty area of ​​the Italian U21 national team, covered his face and looked up to the sky and sighed...

The England fans were also extremely disappointed. Such an opportunity was not grasped. This... On the contrary, the Italian fans were very lucky. Fortunately, they were not killed at the last moment. If they were killed, the Italians would want to die.

"Overtime is over, neither side scored a goal, the score is still 2:2, there is no winner. Then, next, the two sides will enter a cruel penalty shootout, and the champion of the 2009 Swedish U21 European Cup will also be produced in such a cruel way. Audience friends, let's enter an advertisement first, and then come back to watch this thrilling penalty shootout..." ESPN commentator immediately said.

At this time, the head coaches of both sides are discussing with their assistant coaches how to arrange the order of free throwers.The team doctor and substitutes all came up to massage the players who were lying on the turf. After all, they have been fighting for 120 minutes now, and their physical energy has been exhausted. Some players even suffered early cramps.So, these people should relax their muscles at this time!
The fans at the scene were also very nervous at this time, and they were too nervous to die.A penalty kick, a way of sudden death, how cruel it is, but they had to face it again, the fans clasped their hands and placed them in front of their lower abdomen, trembling slightly! !

At this time, the referee called the captains of both sides. At this time, they will start to pick sides and pick the right to serve again.

"True, Italy chooses; negative, England chooses!" At this time, the referee shook the coin in his hand and said, and showed both sides of the coin to the captains of both sides. The captains of both sides thought there was no problem.At this time, the referee quickly tossed the coin up...

The silver coin made a buzzing sound in the wind and spun rapidly. The captains of both sides were closely watching the rapidly flipping coin.

"Tap..." The coin fell to the ground, and the eyes of the three of them were fixed on the coin—right!

"Then, let's choose Italy!" Bending down and picking up the coin, the referee said to Giovinco, the captain of the Italian U21 national team.

"The left goal, I choose this!" Giovinco looked at the Italian fans behind the left goal, and Giovinco said immediately.

At this time, the referee immediately looked at Michael Richards, the captain of the England U21 national team, and Michael Richards said lightly: "Italy will be punished first!!"

"Okay, go back and get ready, the goal on the left will gather in 2 minutes!" After speaking, the referee immediately walked to the sidelines and communicated with the linesman.After saying a few words, the linesman began to walk towards the left goal and began to check the situation of the left goal.

"Okay, it seems that the two sides have already chosen the side. The penalty kick should be taken at the left goal. Behind this goal is a gathering place for Italian fans. It seems that this is the side chosen by the Italian U21 national team. Then I think the players from the Italian U21 national team should be the first to take the penalty!" The ESPN commentator began his nagging at this time.

The players of the Italian U21 national team stood in a row on the center line, and the players put their hands on the shoulders of their teammates on both sides, united as one.The players of the England U21 national team sat in a pile at the center line. They used this method to relieve the pressure in their hearts at this time! !
Fans from both sides in the stands crazily shouted the names of their teams and waved their national flags. They were expressing their support for the players in this way. They hoped that the players could withstand the pressure and win the opponent.

In fact, at this time, their hearts were equally tense, and their palms were already covered with sweat.Their hearts beat even more, thumping, thumping, as if they were about to jump out of their throats.

"Okay, the intense and brutal penalty shootout is about to begin. Fans in front of the TV, are you ready?" The ESPN commentator explained nervously. Although he was in a neutral position, his heart was also very nervous at this time.

The referee standing in the penalty area signaled the players of both sides to come to the scene and prepare to start taking penalty kicks.

At this time, Rauch, the No. 21 goalkeeper of England U[-], walked towards the goal quickly. He will be the first to keep the goal.He came to the edge of the goal, first checked the turf, and then pulled the net.In fact, these line referees just now have already checked. It seems that Rauch wants to relieve the pressure in his heart through this method.

At this time, Giovinco, who was wearing an Italian blue jersey, walked up to the penalty spot with the pitch in his hands, which also announced the official start of the penalty shootout! !

"The captain of the Italian U21 national team, Giovinco, came up first. It seems that the first one to take the penalty is the one in front of him. This also marks the official start of the penalty shootout between the Italian U21 national team and the England U21 national team!!" The ESPN commentator immediately explained.
