Morata didn't have any confidence in his eyes. Although the referee gave him another chance, Cillessen's two saves, even if the opponent was suspected of moving first, had already destroyed his heart.
Li Mingyu has great sympathy for Morata, because he was the young goalkeeper who was Real Madrid Youth Team back then. In one game, he was saved three penalty kicks. From then on, Li Mingyu said goodbye to penalty kicks!
Looking at Morata, Li Mingyu thought to himself, Brother, what are you doing here? You were only thrown out twice and you were about to die. Brother, you collapsed after being thrown out three times. Your mental quality is not good!
Pedri came over with a sullen look on his face and asked, "Otherwise, let me do it!"
Morata's eyes lit up and he was about to hand the football to Pedri. This was a life-saving straw!
But Li Mingyu pulled Pedri and said angrily, "Stay there, Alvaro is our regular center forward. He urgently needs this goal to regain his confidence. If you take this ball away, believe it or not, Alvaro will not dare to take penalty kicks in the future!"
Pedri looked at Li Mingyu with a playful look on his face, Damn it, brother, you said all the same things, why are you saying the same thing about yourself?
If others don't know what you did back then, how can I not know?
Li Mingyu's problem of not daring to take penalty kicks is well known to Barcelona, but it has not been spread to outsiders. Therefore, until now, the outside world does not know that Li Mingyu does not dare to take penalty kicks at all, and they think it is because he has never bothered to take penalty kicks!
After all, for an attacker of Li Mingyu's caliber, if you say he can't kick penalties, who would believe him!
After listening to Li Mingyu's words, Morata's heart moved.
Just now I really felt a fear of penalty kicks, it turned out to be so serious!
After all, Morata is Morata. Being able to work with Cristiano Ronaldo for so long has taught me a lot about Cristiano Ronaldo's unyielding spirit.
Morata took a breath and said, "Okay, this time, I must kick the damn ball into that damn goal. I want that damn goalkeeper to know how good I am. I am his uncle Morata!"
The sudden explosion of Morata made Li Mingyu's eyes light up.
Of course he didn't want Morata to sink due to this blow, after all, he had learned too much from his mistakes.
Pedri shook his head angrily, Moman, my World Cup first goal was ruined!
Morata once again stood on the penalty spot.
Cillessen on the opposite side was still so arrogant, roaring loudly and twisting his body, trying to make Morata's heart become chaotic.
However, this time, Morata's eyes did not dodge, but looked directly at Cillessen.
Cillessen was a little frightened by the look in Morata's eyes, the roar in his mouth became smaller, and the twisting of his body also slowed down.
Morata stared hard at Cillessen's eyes. The flames in his eyes seemed to burn Cillessen alive.
However, Cillessen is not a vegetarian. The two attacks just now were illegal, but they made his momentum greatly increase.
At this time, Cillessen was in very good condition. He felt that he could save the ball this time.
He has already thought about it. After saving the ball, he must walk up to Morata and humiliate him.
Turpin blew the whistle with a calm expression. This time, his eyes were directly on Cillessen.
If Cillessen continues to challenge his authority this time and moves ahead of schedule, then he will send him out without hesitation. Even if he is severely criticized after the game, he will do the same.
Cillessen seemed to feel something. This time, his feet stood firmly on the goal line.
This time, Morata chose the same position again very firmly.
This time, Cillessen still judged the right direction, and his finger also touched the football.
However, the ball speed was too fast, and the football rubbed Cillessen's fingers, but still hit the goal powerfully.
After scoring the goal, Morata looked up to the sky and roared excitedly, as if he wanted to shout out all the haze of not scoring two goals just now.
Li Mingyu rushed to Morata immediately, jumped directly from behind him to his back, and shouted loudly in his ear, "Alvaro, congratulations, you did it!"
Morata laughed loudly and said, "Li, thank you!"
This thank you, Morata means sincerely.
Netherlands National Team's players were very frustrated.
From hell to heaven, then to hell, then to heaven, and finally back to hell again.
This rollercoaster-like change in mentality made the Netherlands National Team players feel exhausted.
There are still fifteen minutes left, but Netherlands National Team is now 9 on 11 and trailing by two goals.
This kind of competition is too difficult for Netherlands National Team.
Both sides began to mobilize their troops and replaced some players who were already a little tired.
Li Mingyu was not replaced. Morata, the hero of the goal, was taken off and replaced by a defender. Next, Spain's strategy was to defend.
Netherlands National Team's frontcourt is bleak this year. It is very difficult to score two goals in fifteen minutes under Spain's strict defense.
However, Frank-DeBoer has no choice. If they lose to Spain in this game, then they can only fight Argentina in the last game.
The desperate Netherlands National Team bombarded Spain's half at the last moment.
Although it looked like Netherlands National Team was suppressing Spain, Netherlands National Team couldn't even enter Spain's penalty area, and all the attacks ended up being a cold shot from outside the penalty area.
This poses no threat to De Gea, who is strong and focused.
Instead, in the 85th minute of the game, Spain stole the ball in the backcourt, and Pedri took the ball in the middle and rushed forward crazily.
There was only Li Mingyu in the frontcourt, and he was entangled with the opponent's center back.
This central defender has a yellow gem War God card on his body, so he must be cautious when defending.
Soon, Li Mingyu had pressed into Netherlands National Team's penalty area, and Pedri's pass also arrived.
Li Mingyu was leaning against defender Ake from Manchester City. Watching Pedri's pass, Li Mingyu showed a weird smile.
Li Mingyu leaned against Ake and faced the incoming ball. Li Mingyu made an action that made all the fans stand up and exclaim.
I saw Li Mingyu using the inner instep of his left foot to push the ball to the right, and then he turned his back beautifully to the left.
Like a graceful waltz dancer, Li Mingyu danced past Ake.
Ake looked at Li Mingyu's gorgeous set of extraordinary moves with a horrified look on his face, and could only collapse to the ground helplessly.
With gorgeous steps, Li Mingyu received the ball passed to him and volleyed, causing Netherlands National Team's goalkeeper Cillessen to kneel on the ground and raise his hands in surrender.
The fans in the audience let out deafening exclamations.
Li Mingyu This set of actions just now is simply art.
For a moment, everyone forgot that this was a football stadium and thought it was the top dance venue. Everyone just saw the peak steps of a top waltz dancer.
Let's go back to the beginning.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing into Umm Salal Stadium and obtaining the talent of Netherlands National Team celebrity Bergkamp--Elegant Waltz.]
Bergkamp is one of the top forwards in the history of Netherlands National Team. He is known as the "Ice Prince". The most famous shot on World Cup is undoubtedly the 1998 France World Cup. Bergkamp's stoppage of the century, a decisive victory over Argentina.
That kick is still unforgettable.
From Netherlands National Team's half-court pass that spanned half the court, Bergkamp used his right foot to gently unload in front of the penalty area without a trace of fireworks. Then he lightly buckled the Argentina defensive player away and volleyed with one kick. The goalkeeper could only kneel on the ground and raised his hands in surrender, just like today.
That pause of Bergkamp made the whole Argentina eclipse, and made Bergkamp the hero of Netherlands.
Elegance, this word, seems to be tailor-made for Bergkamp.
When he was at the club, the most talked about thing was naturally the beautiful waltz he scored while playing for Arsenal.
As light as dancing in a restricted area, Bergkamp has achieved the ultimate in lightness. An elegant dancer, an elegant ice prince, he is Bergkamp.
Frank-DeBoer on the sidelines was stunned.
Because in 1998 World Cup, Bergkamp scored the goal of the century, and the person who passed the ball was Frank-De Boer, the current head coach of Netherlands National Team.
Frank-DeBoer knows very well about his old friend. With all the actions of Li Mingyu just now, if he changes to another jersey, Frank-DeBoer will definitely think that this is his old friend!
Elegant, perfect, extreme.
Frank-De Boer smiled bitterly and shook his head. How can anyone face such an opponent?
This goal completely defeated Netherlands National Team.
In the next few minutes, Spain National Team also gave up the idea of attacking. After all, we should do less things like lowering our heads and beating up drowned dogs.
Turpin Seeing that everyone was not interested in playing anymore, the whistle was blown to end the game as soon as stoppage time expired.
Li Mingyu found Turpin immediately after the game and asked him for today's game ball.
Turpin naturally would not let Li Mingyu return disappointed. While handing the football to Li Mingyu, he sincerely said, "Li, congratulations, you are really amazing!"
The sudden compliment made Li Mingyu confused.
Turpin said with a smile, "The game is over. I am no longer the referee. I also have my own emotions. Your performance is really wonderful and admirable!"
Li Mingyu smiled slightly, hugged Turpin, and said, "Mr. Referee, you are also amazing. Today's game will also become your permanent memory!"
Turpin certainly knows what kind of situation he will face after this game is over.
However, as a professional and excellent referee, he will not be knocked down by these outside discussions.
Li Mingyu looked up inadvertently and saw the pair of best friends smiling happily on the big screen.
Li Mingyu couldn't help but look around, and finally he found the location of Bella and Catherine. They were very conspicuous.
Li Mingyu ran over very happily and waved at the two of them, causing a burst of cheers from the fans in the audience.
Catherine felt that she was out of breath. Li Mingyu waved and her little face instantly turned into a red apple.
Li Mingyu and his teammates walked around the field and expressed their sincere gratitude to the fans who came to support them today.
After the game, Li Mingyu returned to their hotel with the team.
Because the next game will come soon, many controversies in this game did not break out quickly.
However, these controversies are brewing crazily, waiting to erupt early the next morning.
The next two games of Group D were also very exciting.
When France faced the South Korea team, Mbappe finally showed off his power and scored two goals in a row, helping the team defeat South Korea 2:0.
In another game, Lewandowski seemed to be stimulated by today's Messi, Li Mingyu and Mbappe. He kicked with his head and kicked, scored 3 goals in a row, and used a hat trick to help the team defeat South Africa 4:0.
In today's four games, 18 goals were scored. The extremely high number of goals was a feast for the eyes of all fans.
Especially within one day, Messi, Li Mingyu and Lewandowski completed a hat trick together. This was the first time that this happened on the stage of World Cup.
Mbappe's two goals, in this situation where a hundred flowers bloomed, were actually ignored by others.
All the games are over today, but the media did not take a break. There are too many things to write about today.
Of course, this match between Spain VS Netherlands is definitely worthy of special mention.
After all, the penalties in this game are enough to become the most record-worthy game in the entire history of World Cup.
Many people believe that even after ten, twenty, fifty, or even one hundred years, this game will still be talked about.
After the game, the head referee Turpin carefully recorded all the details of today's game into the referee's record and submitted it to the referee team FIFA.
FIFA has been waiting for the referee's record for a long time, because not only the fans were fascinated by this game, but the members of the referee team were also watching with numbness!
Everyone's hearts converged into one sentence.
How dare he?
Yes, how dare he? On the stage of World Cup, in the focus of the battle, he dared to make so many unbelievable penalties.
Although everyone can see the replay of the video, especially the fans watching on TV, the players and fans on the scene cannot see the replay and the penalties made under such huge pressure.
Excuse me, Turpin, how dare you?
