Chapter 238 Congratulations!The World Cup champion is out!
Penalty shootout!
In the first round of the two sides, both players scored the ball, and the current score is 1:1.
Argentina's second appearance is Palacios.
Today, Palacios' performance in the midfield is absolutely world-class, especially the pass in the fast break in overtime, which accurately found Niklas Gonzalez who was not offside, and finally helped Messi complete the fatal blow.
Palacios came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, and rubbed the football on his forehead devoutly, hoping to give himself some psychological comfort.
Spanish goalkeeper De Gea kept waving his arms, trying to use his body movements to interfere with the opponent's mentality.
The referee blew his whistle.
Palacios did not look at De Gea's position, but kept looking at the football in front of him.
Three steps into the run-up, Palacios came to the front of the football, pushed with the arch of his right foot, and the football flew to De Gea's right post.
At this time, Palacios raised his head and looked at the position of the goalkeeper.
However, the scene that caught his eyes made his face suddenly show a look of horror.
Because De Gea had already guessed the direction of his penalty kick, a giant spirit palm stretched out, and directly shot this not-so-high-quality penalty kick.
Seeing this scene, Palacios couldn't help but his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground, both sides hugged their heads, and buried their heads on the turf with a look of regret.
De Gea, who raised his arms wildly, received heroic cheers from the Spanish fans in the audience.
In the penalty shootout, the Spanish team took the lead.
The players of the Argentine team were all squatting in the midfield with ugly faces, in stark contrast to the Spanish team who were already embracing next to each other.
This is the brutal penalty shootout that touches everyone's heart every moment.
Spain's No.2 free throw player played.
Ferran Torres, who replaced Fati, held the football and walked to the goal with a serious face.
This goal is very important. De Gea has already taken the lead for the Spanish team. If this goal is scored, then the pressure will be completely on Argentina's side.
At this moment, all the fans of the Argentine team are praying, hoping that the goal will not be scored.
The tense atmosphere made many fans couldn't help but close their eyes, not daring to watch anymore.
The air in the stadium felt a little frozen.
Ferran Torres also knew the importance of his ball, and looked at the referee with a serious face.
The referee blew his whistle, and Ferran Torres let out a deep breath and started to run.
Everyone in the audience held their breath, as if the whole world had quieted down.
Ferran Torres chose the top left corner where the keeper was most difficult to save.
Romero began to pounce towards his right hand the moment Ferran Torres kicked out.
But he chose to pounce on the lower right corner.
The football whizzed into the net from above him.
Ferran Torres raised his arms excitedly and shouted wildly.
Only then did the Spanish fans in the audience shout out the excitement they had suppressed for a long time.
The Spanish players standing on the center line all embraced together.
2:1, the Spanish team has the absolute upper hand.
Enrique's courage is really not small, 19-year-old Pedri and 22-year-old Ferran Torres, he dared to let these two people take the first two free throws.
However, the performance of the two made Enrique take a deep breath.
At this time, although young people are inexperienced, their desire to win is definitely no worse than those of the old players.
The performance of Pedri and Ferran Torres also made the Spanish players who will play next relaxed a lot.
The third round of penalty shootout continued.
Argentina sent their midfielder Lo Celso.
Lo Celso, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, is 26 years old this year and is an indispensable general in Tottenham Hotspur's current midfielder position.
Lo Celso faced de Gea, withstood the tremendous pressure and scored the ball into the goal.
However, the ball was very dangerous. De Gea's fingertips had already touched the ball, but because the ball was fast enough, he still scored.
Lo Celso roared with fear on his face, and raised his arms and shouted wildly.
The fans of the Argentine team also took a breath. If the ball is saved again, Argentina will be really cold.
Fortunately, Lo Celso did not disappoint them again.
2:2 draw, but the No.3 player of the Spanish team has not played yet!
The No.3 player of the Spanish team played, it was the midfielder Rodri.
Rodri is also a well-known penalty shooter in the Manchester City team.
Facing the constantly provocative Romero, Rodri made it in one fell swoop, causing Romero to pounce in the wrong direction again.
3:2, the Spanish team took the lead again.
Romero's cheat sheet seems to be a little out of whack today.
Next, the Argentine team sent out the fourth-round free throw player who played for River Plate's full-back Montreal.
Facing De Gea, Montreal calmly made a change of rhythm before taking a penalty kick, tricked De Gea, and scored the ball into the goal.
3:3, the Argentine team once again tenaciously equalized the score.
The atmosphere on the court became more and more dignified.
The air seemed to be no longer circulating.
All the pressure came to Spain's No.4 penalty shooter.
Koke, from Atlético Madrid, was next in line for a penalty.
Cork was not a high-ranked penalty taker at Atletico Madrid.
But at times like this, Enrique needs Cork's big heart to help the team.
In penalty shootouts, mentality is often the most critical.
I don't know how many penalty kick masters fell in the penalty shootout.
That kind of huge pressure is simply incomprehensible to those off the field.
The eyes of the whole world are on you, this kind of pressure is enough to make a person with a fragile heart collapse directly.
Koklian stood expressionlessly in front of the penalty spot, looking sharply at Romero who was baring his teeth.
Romero hopes to use his actions to change Cork's mentality.
The referee blew his whistle, Cork took two steps towards the run-up, and shot angrily towards the center of the goal.
The moment Romero took Cork's foot, he resolutely rushed towards his left hand.
When his feet were just off the ground, he saw the football hit the place where he was standing just like a shell, and he quickly stretched out his feet as much as possible in midair, hoping to touch the football.
However, Cork's shot was powerful and heavy, and Romero didn't touch the slightest, and he got into the goal of the Argentine team.
4:3, the Spanish team scored in all the first four rounds, while the Argentine team was thrown out.
At this time, Palacios, who had just missed a penalty kick in the Argentine team, knelt on the ground with a look of annoyance, his eyes closed, and he couldn't help chanting.
The faces of all the players of the Argentine team are very dignified.
The Argentine team has come to a critical moment, and the fate is not in their own hands.
The player who took the penalty in the last round of the Argentine team was their captain, Lionel Messi, who participated in five World Cups.
Messi must score this penalty, and the Spanish team cannot score in the last round, so that the Argentine team can continue.
At this moment, all eyes of the whole world were on this short man.
With the football in his arms, Messi took firm steps from the midfield to the goal.
All the Argentine fans in the audience put their hands together, praying for Messi and the Argentine team.
They don't want to see Argentina repeat the heartbreaking 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Messi, he deserves a World Cup too.
Standing in front of the penalty spot, Messi carefully placed the football on the penalty spot. He stomped the football around a few times with his feet to ensure that the ground at this position was firm enough.
This is the carefulness of a top player before taking a penalty.
You must know that there are many players who, when taking penalty kicks, often slipped under their feet due to the ground, or because the soft ground made their footing unstable, and as a result, there were countless incidents of missed penalties.
Messi took two steps back, and De Gea kept looking at each other.
De Gea showed a weird smile and pointed to his right hand, meaning, I will rush in that direction later.
Because Messi's two penalty kicks in the previous game were played in this direction.
Once scored, once saved by De Gea.
So, this time, De Gea made the gesture of "do it again if you have the ability", and used this method to mess with Messi's mentality.
However, Messi didn't have any expression on his face, and his eyes were very indifferent, as if he didn't understand De Gea's gesture.
The referee also felt the dignified atmosphere of the scene, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and blew his whistle.
Messi run up!
Messi swings his legs!
Messi shoots!
Yi Gao people are bold.
Messi's penalty kick really hit the right side of De Gea's finger, but the angle was extremely tricky.
De Gea threw himself to his left.
He just played a psychological game with Messi just now.
However, Messi is more courageous than he imagined. At this critical moment, Messi is still very confident in his footwork.
Although in overtime, Messi was saved by De Gea's penalty kick in the same position, but Messi, who has a strong psychological quality, continued to choose to believe in himself.
Messi roared up to the sky, pointed to the sky with his hands, and comforted his grandma in heaven with this goal.
The players of the Argentine team were all excited.
However, their excitement didn't last long.
Because the last player of the Spanish team to play is the most critical player in this penalty shootout.
Morata.
The last penalty shooter for the Spanish team was Morata, who played for Juventus.
In this World Cup, Morata has scored 8 goals, and the combination with Li Mingyu can be called the most powerful frontcourt combination in the history of the World Cup.
Enrique gave him the position of the fifth penalty shooter.
This is Enrique's trust in him.
Morata looked in the direction of the player tunnel.
Li Mingyu was standing at the door of the players' tunnel. After staying in the locker room for a while, he felt that he couldn't sit still anymore, so he came to the door of the players' tunnel.
A red card is sent off, as long as the player does not appear on the pitch or on the bench.
Li Mingyu came here silently when Messi took the penalty kick.
Li Mingyu was also very excited. The World Cup championship trophy was less than ten meters in front of him.
If I want to touch it, I am short of Morata's penalty kick.
At this moment, the eyes of fans all over the world are focused on Morata.
Morata hugged the football and walked slowly into the penalty area.
Argentine goalkeeper Romero's face was very ugly. Today, his cheat sheet was almost wiped out. In the end, when he faced Morata, he hesitated.
The note reads that Morata's penalty habit is...
At this critical moment, Romero's mind went blank.
Of course he understood that the life and death of the Argentine team depended on his own thoughts.
If the ball is thrown, the Argentine team still has a chance.
If he hadn't saved the ball, the Argentine team would have missed the Hercules Cup again.
This is the second time that Romero has represented Argentina in the World Cup final.
The last time, in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Romero was the main goalkeeper of the Argentina team.
Mario Gotze, this name, Romero will never forget it in his life.
It was this guy who killed the Argentine at the last moment of the game.
Romero was upset at this critical moment.
Romero reluctantly collected his mind, and continued to use his fangs and claws to interfere with Morata.
Morata watched Romero's physical changes, his eyes became sharper.
A whistle sounded.
After a two-step approach, Morata volleyed with his right foot, and the football went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Romero, on the other hand, threw himself in the other direction of the goal.
The football hit the net.
Once again the Argentine fell in the final of the World Cup.
This time, it was a penalty shootout.
The players of the Spanish team rushed towards Morata from the halfway line in ecstasy.
Morata, who scored a key goal, took off his jersey directly, revealing his strong muscles.
The World Cup champion, Spain once again stood at the pinnacle of world football after 12 years.
The Argentine players collapsed to the ground limply as if their bones had been taken out.
Some young players can no longer bear the pain.
Palacios had already knelt on the ground, buried his head in the turf, and cried into tears.
It was because of his missed penalty that the Argentine team lost the game.
Messi looked very calm, standing there with his hips akimbo, watching the Spaniards celebrating wildly, his eyes filled with deep envy.
Suddenly, an arm wrapped around Messi's neck.
Messi turned his head and showed a bitter smile.
"Li, congratulations!"
Looking at the 20-year-old Li Mingyu, Messi's eyes were full of envy.
World Cup champion, I have worked hard for more than ten years. From a young boy in his teens to a greasy middle-aged man in his 10s, he has not been able to win the Hercules Cup once.
This will be Messi's eternal regret.
Football, sometimes, is so helpless.
