Chapter 18 Holding the Ball

"After a short break, the two teams entered into a more intense overtime battle. As we all know, the overtime game adopts the golden ball system, which means whichever side scores the goal first, then the scoring team will be the winner. Win the game straight away!

That's why, in the next 10 minutes, neither of the two teams could have the slightest carelessness! "

"It was a violent collision! Italian goalkeeper Toldo's nose was bleeding! It was tragic!"

Not long after the start of extra time, the French team got a good chance in an attack. Wiltord, who received a pass from Zidane, repeated his tricks on the edge of the penalty area, but this time Toldo, who had been prepared for a long time, made a save. He missed his shot, but the ball was dropped after the catch due to too fast speed!

Trezeguet, who followed, was ready to make a supplementary shot the moment Wiltord shot, and he quickly passed the defender and rushed towards the ball!

And Toldo, who fell to the ground, also burst out his last strength, supporting the whole person forward with his hands and threw the ball forward again to hold the ball firmly in his arms.

But it was too late for Trezeguet, who had already rushed forward, and such a tragic scene happened.

"The Italian players stepped forward to protest! The team doctor also rushed to give Toldo a simple treatment! The referee Brisk did not make a penalty, because under such circumstances, it can be said that neither of them was wrong! "

"After simple processing, the game continues!"

The fans at the scene were also a little worried about Toldo's injury. In this cup, it was because of goalkeeper Toldo's brave performance that he escorted Italy all the way to today's final. If it affects Erdo's state, it will be a fatal blow!

"Totti took the ball. Totti's performance in today's game can be regarded as remarkable. He made very threatening passes many times, and even once posed a direct threat to France's goal!" TV commentators undoubtedly praised Totti's performance, even more so than Piero, who was older and famous for a long time.

At this time, Totti had just passed the middle circle with the ball. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, his physical strength is now close to exhaustion, but he has been supporting himself with a single force. It is undeniable that in the previous games, the middle and front courts were the most active It is he who is the only one who constantly squeezes the living space of the French team with his tearing and dribbling on the wing. Even the commentator Joseph from France can't help saying sincerely in front of the TV: "He is a real player. fighter!"

Facing Vieira who stepped forward to defend, Totti did not make any extra moves, but directly passed the ball back to Ambrosini who was pressing in the middle. Compared with Totti, the substitute Ambrosini's physical strength is naturally much better.

After he got the ball, he cooperated with Maldini behind him, and slowly moved forward. Seeing the Italian's move, the French players naturally would not let them pass easily. The two midfielders of the French team, Zinedine Zidane He and Didier Deschamps quickly approached, and Ambrosini was obviously overwhelmed by the pressure of the two. After entanglement for a while, he could only staggered and passed the ball to Maldini behind him.

"It's now!" Pires, who had been hidden in the previous confrontation, suddenly rushed out. When Totti took the ball, Pires followed Maldini. Coach Le Maire told him in his ear: "Be optimistic about Maldini!"

It turns out that Le Maire was right. As the brain of the Italian team, Maldini is not only the direct commander of the attack, but also the person most trusted by the players. After the attack was blocked, Ambrosini who was under pressure directly sent the The ball was returned to Maldini, and this also has the previous scene!

Pires, who had been in ambush not far away, quickly ran to the front. As long as Maldini received the ball, he could use Maldini to adjust his body to break the ball. No matter how good Maldini's skills are, there is no way!

But is it really that simple?

There is no doubt that there is nothing wrong with the arrangements and conjectures of the French coach Le Maire. Everything that happened is within his calculations. Although he was strong as a musketeer, his excellent personal skills have already been revealed. Although Pires, who is a late bloomer, is not well-known at this time, he is definitely not a big-name figure.

His rich experience and flashy offensive ability made him favored by Le Maire. Letting Pires go to defend when Maldini's physical strength was about to dry up was indeed the best that the French team can come up with today. plan.

But Le Maire still underestimated the red and black legend Maldini!

Seeing that Pires quickly approached Maldini, he seemed very calm. He flicked the ball back with the back of his foot at the moment of receiving the ball, then turned the whole person backwards, and padded with the back of his foot just as the ball was about to hit the ground. Picked the ball to Kenny who had already started halfway on the wing!

With such an elegant movement, Maldini narrowly avoided Pires' tackle and successfully passed the ball.

After seeing this scene, the commentator Mike exclaimed to the camera: "This is really an elegant pass! Maldini is a real gentleman, and it is a pleasure to watch him play football!"

It is a feast for the eyes to see such a performance in such an intense competition!I have to say that Maldini's right foot seems to be able to play the violin! "

The fans in the stands also cheered. Although the current situation is not very favorable for Italy, they maintained an advantage of more than 30 minutes in the regular time and were equalized by Wiltord at the last moment. Under such morale, the overtime match was played. France The morale of the team is undoubtedly much higher than that of the Italian team, but no matter what the situation is, the wonderful extraordinary and beautiful escape will always arouse the nerves of the fans!

Even the fans of the French team couldn't help admiring: "It's really amazing!"

At this time, Kenny has fully started to receive the pass from Maldini. He took a big step and slightly provoked the ball flying from the air with his left foot behind to keep his speed unaffected. Then he continued Run forward with the ball.

"Oh? It's so fast, No. 21 Kenny has already started it, it seems that he has absolute trust in Maldini!" said the commentator and Steve from France.

This is indeed the case. Kenny started the moment Maldini received the ball. He knew he had no choice. After a total of three and 10 minutes of overtime, after the collision between Toldo and Trezeguet just now , 15 minutes in the first half are running out, he must seize this offensive opportunity!

So he chose to believe that Maldini could clearly observe the space in front of him the moment he received the ball!
