Chapter 226 The penalty shootout ended and he won
After 120 minutes of fierce fighting in the World Cup semi-final between Argentina and Portugal, there was no winner.
The final winner can only be determined through the most brutal penalty shootout.
In the first four rounds of penalty kicks, two players from each side failed to send the football into the goal.
The current score is 2:2.
The last player to take the penalty on both sides is the number one star in the field.
Argentina's Messi.
Ronaldo of Portugal.
For the past decade, these two players have almost monopolized football's top individual honors.
All stars live in the shadow of both of them.
The title of peerless double pride has been implemented in world football.
When it comes to football, there must be Messi and Ronaldo. It can be seen that the reputation of the two has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The two have played against each other many times at the club level, even in the national team, they have also met in friendly matches.
But on the World Cup stage, the two one-off superstars have never met.
Today, the two actually used this method to help their national team defeat their opponents.
Messi of the Argentine team walked to the penalty spot with a calm expression while holding the football.
The whole of Argentina looked at the savior in their hearts with expectant eyes.
The Argentine players didn't dare to watch anymore, they all knelt on the ground, praying with their eyes closed.
The Portuguese players also looked at Messi solemnly, wondering what they were thinking.
Ronaldo looked at Messi with scorching eyes, with high fighting spirit shining in his firm eyes.
Messi put the football on the penalty spot, tidied up his shin pads slowly, and glanced at the opponent's goalkeeper inadvertently.
Portuguese goalkeeper Lopez was very excited. Today he has already saved a ball and another ball. Although he did not save it by himself, it was only under his great pressure that the opponent kicked it away.
Looking at Messi standing on the penalty spot, Lopez felt that his blood was about to boil.
This is an opportunity for me to make contributions. As long as I can save Messi's penalty, I will become a hero of Portugal.
Lopez forcibly suppressed his excitement, looked at Messi with scorching eyes, and roared to cheer himself up.
The referee blew his whistle.
Messi looked firmly in the direction of the goal and started to run.
After a three-step run-up, Messi raised his left leg and slammed the football hard.
Looking at Messi's movements, Lopez guessed that Messi was about to hit his left hand side, so he used his legs hard, soared into the air, and rushed to his left side.
But Messi's left foot did not hit the football hard, but rubbed it gently under the football. The football drew an arc of a spoon in the air and fell lightly into the goal.
Reproduce Spoon Penalty.
The great Messi, at such a critical moment, was able to take a penalty kick with a spoon so calmly, tricked the goalkeeper, and scored a crucial goal.
Messi is using this penalty to announce to the Portuguese team that you are not the only ones who can scoop penalties, but I will too.
Bernardo Silva looked at Messi quietly, and said in a low voice, "It's really annoying to pretend to be a criminal!"
This time, all the pressure came to the side of the Portuguese team.
The director also understood very well. After Messi scored a goal, he directly showed the camera on Ronaldo's face, hoping to see something from his face.
However, when Messi scored a goal, Ronaldo's face did not change at all, his eyes were still so firm and confident.
The hopes of the whole of Portugal rest on Ronaldo's shoulders.
They trust this man very much. For so many years, if it wasn't for Ronaldo, look at Portugal's lineup, which is definitely a second-rate or even third-rate team in Europe.
However, with Ronaldo, he brought Portugal to the first-class level in Europe on his own, and in 2016 helped Portugal complete a zero breakthrough in the World Series and won the European Cup.
This is the dream that Rui Costa and Figo's golden generation failed to achieve.
Ronaldo is a magical symbol in the Portuguese team.
As long as Ronaldo is still on the court, the Portuguese will not consider himself a failure.
The 38-year-old Ronaldo walked towards the penalty area with firm steps, holding a football.
Argentina goalkeeper Romero took another look at his water bottle, but this time, he didn't get the information on it that satisfied him.
Because Ronaldo's penalty kick ability is already very strong, Ronaldo can take a penalty kick from any direction and any angle at his fingertips.
Romero threw away his water bottle, and in the final round he had to rely on his goalkeeper's sense of smell.
Romero patted himself on the head twice to calm himself down.
There was a trace of bloodlust in Ronaldo's eyes, and he stared at Romero firmly.
Ronaldo stood on the penalty spot, picked up the football in his hand, put it in front of him, and kissed the football deeply, hoping that it was a lucky ball.
Then, Ronaldo put the football on the penalty spot and rubbed it hard a few times.
Ronaldo started to back away, his eyes on Romero the whole time.
This is a habit of Ronaldo taking penalty kicks. Many players hardly look at the goalkeeper when taking penalty kicks, fearing that the goalkeeper will see the secret in their hearts.
But Ronaldo is an extremely confident player, he hopes to use his firm eyes to defeat the opponent's goalkeeper.
The camera scanned the Portuguese team's lineup, and everyone squatted on the ground with their heads down, not daring to watch Ronaldo's free throw.
The air in the stadium was about to freeze.
Ronaldo stood on the penalty area line, took a deep breath, and then let it out fiercely, with his legs spread apart, standing there like a compass, with his hands naturally placed on both sides of his body.
The referee blows his whistle.
Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes changed, and he started running with murderous intent.
Before coming to the football, Ronaldo made a push with the inside of his right foot, and the football was kicked towards the upper left side of the goalkeeper.
This is an absolute dead end. Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for the goalkeeper to touch this position.
However, the moment Ronaldo shot, Romero began to move to his left side with a tacit understanding.
With a side attack, the direction was judged correctly.
However, he thought that Ronaldo would hit a lower corner, so he was not able to vacate, and could only reach up in midair as much as possible, hoping to touch the football.
But the ball passed his left hand and continued towards the goal.
With a bang, the whole world fell silent.
A second later, the entire stadium erupted.
All the Argentine players started running wildly in the stadium, celebrating wildly.
Messi was surrounded by his teammates, but he didn't have much joy on his face, but looked at the man who was still standing in front of the goal with regretful eyes.
Romero roared and knelt down beside Ronaldo and raised his head to the sky.
Ronaldo is like a sculpture, standing there with a dazed gaze. Up to now, he can't believe that the penalty kick he just hit hit the junction of the beam and the column and bounced out.
One foot in heaven, one foot in hell.
Messi sent Argentina to heaven with one kick, while Ronaldo sent Portugal to hell with one kick.
The Portuguese players all covered their faces and lay on the court.
This cruel reality made them completely unacceptable.
The camera has been locked on the back of Ronaldo, a strong melancholy, unwilling to cover Ronaldo in it.
This back is exactly like the melancholy and helpless back of Italian star Roberto Baggio after he missed a penalty in the 1994 World Cup.
One is No. 7 and the other is No. 10, but the same melancholy and helplessness make people sigh.
Messi pushed aside the celebrating crowd, came to Ronaldo silently, and patted Ronaldo on the shoulder.
Ronaldo turned his head, saw Messi, showed a bitter smile, and said, "Leo, congratulations!"
Messi shook his head and said with a smile, "Cristiano, thank you!"
Messi and Ronaldo hug each other tightly.
The embrace of these two peerless twins who have ruled the world football for ten years moved the whole world.
Messi doesn't celebrate, but also comes to comfort his lifelong enemy.
Ronaldo also used his blessings to congratulate Messi for entering the final.
Li Mingyu in the stands was in a very complicated mood.
Messi was my childhood idol, and it was because of Messi that I started to like football.
Being able to play with Messi in Barcelona is already the happiest thing for me as a player.
Unexpectedly, I would be able to compete with my idol on the stage of the World Cup.
And it's the most important World Cup final.
Li Mingyu felt a little dazed, this feeling was really amazing.
Amid wild celebrations from the Argentines, the second semi-final of the World Cup in Qatar came to an end.
The Argentine had the last laugh and became the team that joined Spain in the final.
The Portuguese team can only compete with the Brazilian team for a tasteless No.3 two days later.
After saying goodbye to Messi, Ronaldo finally shed tears of heroes.
He participated in the World Cup five times and did not help Portugal make history, not even entering the final once.
Ronaldo left the court with a deep sense of unwillingness.
However, Ronaldo did not bow his head, he left with his head held high.
Although Ronaldo failed to help Portugal reach the final, he personally has completed a history that suffocates all players.
Since the European Cup in 2004, Ronaldo has not missed any World Series, five European Cups, and five World Cups. Moreover, Ronaldo has scored goals in these ten World Series, which is an unprecedented feat.
Although Ronaldo left with regret today, Ronaldo is still one of the greatest players in history in Europe. Perhaps, this "one" can be removed.
The Argentines, on the other hand, turned this stadium into a sea of joy.
Messi was carried on the shoulders of his teammates and walked around the stadium. Every time he reached a stand, the fans in the stand would stand up and make worship gestures.
In this World Cup, Messi let people see a different Messi.
What Messi was criticized before was that Messi in the national team always seemed powerless, completely without his omnipotence in Barcelona.
In this World Cup, Messi will often stand up at critical moments, use his own offense, and use his own goals to help the team end the game.
In this World Cup, Messi has scored six goals, which is already the total number of goals he scored in the previous four World Cups.
12 goals have put him behind Justfontein.
This World Cup is a World Cup with relatively dense goals.
Li Mingyu 14 goals, Neymar 7 goals, Messi 6 goals, Ronaldo 6 goals, Lewandowski 5 goals, Mbappe 4 goals,...
This is a World Cup full of strong players.
However, this World Cup is also a farewell performance for top stars.
The 38-year-old Ronaldo has announced at the beginning of this season that he will not renew his contract with Juventus. He will leave Italy next summer, return to Portugal, return to the place where his dream started, and end his career.
The 35-year-old Messi has also signed a ten-year contract with Barcelona and plans to spend his life in Barcelona.
The 34-year-old Lewandowski has one and a half years left on his contract, and it is estimated that this is his last contract.
The three top football stars in the world are already saying goodbye to football slowly.
However, the rise of Li Mingyu, Mbappe, Harland and others illustrates a problem.
Jiangshan has talented people on behalf of the people, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.
Every era has its own representatives.
Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Batistuta, Romario, Roberto Baggio...
Zidane, Figo, Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Henry, Beckham,…
Messi, Ronaldo, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, Neymar, Mbappe,…
From the 20s to the present, countless football stars are like crucian carp crossing the river, countless.
The gradual maturity of Mbappe, the birth of Haaland and Li Mingyu, and the fact that many young players have become the backbone of the team in this World Cup, this shows that the new generation of players has begun to slowly take over the mantle of their predecessors and is blooming their own light.
After the game that touched the hearts of fans all over the world, it did not cool down everyone's enthusiasm for football.
Li Mingyu VS Messi.
The two Barcelona teammates, also from the La Masia training camp, will have a final duel in the highest hall of football, the final stage of the World Cup.
This is a bit like inheritance. In the end, Simba with breasts roaring in the forest can become the real lion king, or is the old lion Mufasa telling Simba with his strength that you are still too young.
This match of the century will be held three days later at the Landmark Stadium in Lussel.
As if arranged by fate, the first group match between Argentina and Spain in this World Cup was held on this court.
And the last final, like a reincarnation of fate, returned to this familiar court.
Argentina and Spain will compete for the Qatar World Cup championship trophy here.
Who will win the Hercules Cup?
It is Messi who has participated in five consecutive World Cups and worked hard for a Hercules Cup all his life.
It was Li Mingyu who participated in the World Cup for the first time and broke the scoring record in a single World Cup.
Fans all over the world can't wait to see the result of this game.
Did Messi get his wish, or did Li Mingyu become a god all the way, laying an incomparably solid foundation for his career as the champion?
