Damn it!
Absolutely flat!
World Cup A perfect tie in the final!
And it was a perfect tie in overtime in the World Cup final!
There are still 3 minutes left for Argentina National Team to win FIFA World Cup Trophy, but at this time, Li Mingyu said "no" to them!
This ball is simply a bolt from the blue for Argentina National Team.
Many Argentina players couldn't help but lie down on the ground, covering their faces in pain and choking speechlessly.
4:4, this is the game with the most goals in the history of World Cup finals.
The 8 goals have exceeded the 7 goals scored by Brazil National Team 5:2 Sweden National Team in the 1958 Sweden World Cup final.
On average, one goal is scored every fifteen minutes. This scoring efficiency far exceeds the average goal scored in the World Cup finals.
Except for the fans of Spain and Argentina, other neutral fans felt very happy to see such a wonderful final.
The ratings of the final have already broken the highest record in football history, with 1.5 billion people around the world watching the game at the same time.
I'm afraid the huge number of viewers shows the success of this World Cup.
Of course, this must be attributed to the wonderful performance of the players.
The first duel between Li Mingyu and Messi is also their last duel on World Cup. One old and one young, it's like they are doing some kind of handover ceremony, which will of course attract the attention of countless fans.
Moreover, this game not only did not disappoint everyone, but also greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Since ancient times, there are no good endings in finals. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this saying.
Because these two teams have already played against each other in the first game, and both teams know each other very well, everyone predicts that they will play very conservatively in the finals.
Maybe, this will be a dull game.
No one expected that this game would be so exciting from the first minute to the last minute.
Even at the last moment of overtime, you can still see the shocking Volley from Heaven kick of Li Mingyu, which really makes the audience excited!
Moreover, the ball Li Mingyu has a deeper meaning.
This is his 16th goal this World Cup.
This goal allowed him to catch up with Germany's football star K-god - Klose.
Now, Li Mingyu and Klose have both scored 16 goals, ranking first in the history of World Cup.
At this moment, Li Mingyu is already alongside the legend.
However, there are only three minutes left in the game. It seems that it is impossible for Li Mingyu to exclusively occupy the top spot in the history of total goals scored by World Cup in this competition.
However, this was his first World Cup, and he used such an unprecedented performance to make fans all over the world remember his name.
He played World Cup for one session and scored countless goals that many people would never be able to score in their lifetime.
This is a monster, so arrogant!
Kick-off resumed with the last two minutes remaining.
Argentina National Team took the ball and attacked Spain National Team's frontcourt.
Spain National Team's players have reached the limit of their physical strength and cannot defend themselves at all, so they can only retreat.
Argentina National Team felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.
We are all going to win the championship. Why don't you celebrate for us honestly? Why do you have to score goals?
The ten-man Argentina National Team actually exerted the momentum of the twelve, overwhelming the eleven-man Spain National Team without any room for resistance.
It's the last minute.
Messi's long shot helped Argentina National Team get a corner kick.
There are only three Argentina players in the penalty area of Spain National Team, and only five players are left standing scattered outside the penalty area for the second point of protection.
After all, Argentina National Team previously scored a goal through the second point of protection after the penalty kick. They did not want to make this kind of mistake on themselves.
Palacios took a corner kick, and the first point was headed by Laporte. However, due to the interference of the Argentina player next to him, Laporte did not head the ball directly, but straight up and down.
At this time, goalkeeper De Gea rushed out of the small penalty area and was about to use his height advantage to rush out and get the ball.
Li Mingyu, who had just rushed into the penalty area, clearly judged the location of the landing point and analyzed the positions of other players.
Li Mingyu's face turned pale for a moment. He did not fight for the landing spot of the football, but quickly ran to the goal.
Because he judged that De Gea had a high probability of making an attack error.
Sure enough, De Gea, who was attacking, wanted to jump up and catch the falling football with both hands, but because there were people in front of him, his height after taking off was not high enough, and he could not catch the ball with both hands at the same time.
In desperation, De Gea could only use his right hand to push the ball reluctantly to let the football leave the penalty area.
But Rodri, who was jumping high, didn't want his goalkeeper to attack at this time, so when he jumped up, his head happened to hit De Gea's arm.
De Gea's finger passed by the football.
De Gea couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Because he saw that where the football landed was a player from Argentina National Team.
Nick las-Gonzalez reluctantly took off and headed the ball directly towards Spain National Team's goal, and the ball also formed a lob.
Goalkeeper De Gea looked back in despair at the empty goal behind him, but what made his eyes shine brilliantly was that Li Mingyu had already returned to the goal line without knowing when.
Facing Nick Russ-Gonzalez's header, Li Mingyu had just run to the goal line. He planned to jump up, raise his head, and push the ball over the crossbar.
But he found that after sprinting, his legs were no longer able to take off.
But looking at the height of the football, it is definitely out of reach.
In desperation, Li Mingyu made an action that shocked everyone in the audience.
Li Mingyu stretched out his hands and hugged the football falling from the air.
Everyone was stunned.
A trace of regret flashed in the referee's eyes, but he became firm in an instant.
Before the Argentina National Team player could rush over to protest, the referee blew the whistle and walked up to Li Mingyu. He ignored the Spain National Team player's plea and took out a red card from his pocket.
Straight red!
Penalty kick!
Li Mingyu had a complicated smile on his face after holding the football with his hands.
De Gea came over with a guilty look on his face, hugged him, and whispered, "Li, I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
Li Mingyu threw away the football, patted De Gea hard on the back, and said, "David, you are not wrong, but promise me, you must save this ball!"
Looking at Li Mingyu's childish face, De Gea's eyes were red, and he nodded fiercely and said, "Li, don't worry, I will definitely be able to save this ball!"
Li Mingyu walked off the court reluctantly at the urging of the referee.
All the fans, whether they were Spain National Team fans, Argentina National Team fans, or neutral fans, all stood up spontaneously and applauded this player who is destined to go down in football history.
Li Mingyu stood outside the players' tunnel, looking expectantly at the scene in front of his own goal.
Messi once again stood on the penalty spot.
This time, there was a hint of fanaticism in De Gea's eyes.
This penalty kick was earned by Li Mingyu himself.
If it weren't for his own mistakes, Li Mingyu wouldn't have made such a choice.
If you can't save the ball, then you will become Spain National Team's sinner.
De Gea slapped his gloves hard, roared loudly, and encouraged himself.
There was no expression on Messi's face, and he did not feel any excitement that he was going to defeat his opponent and win the World Cup championship.
However, the fire in Messi's eyes still made everyone feel that this man's heart was not as calm as everyone saw.
Messi's preparation took a bit long this time. He took two deep breaths to calm down his wildly beating heart.
If our roles were reversed, I would show you what true cruelty is.
Li Mingyu's previous direct free kick made the Argentina people anxious.
Now Messi's penalty kick makes Espanyol even more anxious.
The referee blew the whistle, and all the eyes of the world were focused on this little player wearing blue and white No. 10.
Argentina fans couldn't help but be a little surprised. Of course, it was also a small player wearing No. 10 who helped them win FIFA World Cup Trophy.
However, the No. 10 had left Argentina forever due to a sudden heart attack two years ago.
I don't know if the No. 10 in the stadium now can help Argentina people win back FIFA World Cup Trophy again.
Argentina National Team's players, many of them did not dare to watch this penalty kick.
Argentina National Team The bench, the head coach, all the players and staff were already kneeling on the ground, praying to heaven.
The bench of Spain National Team was exactly the same. Everyone was half-kneeling on the ground, praying devoutly.
God: I don't care, it's too difficult!
Messi heard the whistle, let out a breath, took two steps, and used his golden left foot to kick the football to the right side of the goalkeeper.
It was in the same direction as the last penalty kick.
Last time, De Gea jumped in the wrong direction.
However, this time, with divine help, De Gea not only pounced in the right direction, but also blocked Messi's penalty kick with one palm.
The football rolled to the sideline, and the Spain fans in the stands roared excitedly.
Argentina fans all held their heads in disbelief and stared blankly at the lonely figure on the court.
After Messi missed the penalty kick, his hands on his hips were exactly the same as Cristiano Ronaldo, who was eliminated by him in the previous game.
Messi At this time, I felt the mood of Cristiano Ronaldo at that moment.
What a mixed bag of flavors!
Li Mingyu at the door of the players' tunnel saw De Gea's wonderful save and laughed excitedly, and then walked into the players' tunnel with satisfaction.
The next game has nothing to do with me.
Taking a penalty kick, I couldn't do it anyway, so I just sent it off the field to save myself from being embarrassed and disgraced to the whole world.
Back in the locker room, on the TV screen on the wall, the head coaches of both sides had already begun arranging the personnel for the penalty shootout.
The head coach of Argentina National Team used the last substitution spot on the goalkeeper.
In the last penalty shootout, the heroic Romero once again replaced Martinez.
Of course, his magic kettle was still in his hand.
Presumably, there should be the penalty kick habits of all Spain National Team players.
Li Mingyu couldn't help but wonder if he has any penalty kick habits of his own.
Romero is actually a little lucky because on the cheat sheet on his kettle, there is a blank space after the name Li Mingyu.
Because Li Mingyu has never had a penalty kick experience in the two years since his debut.
Fortunately, Li Mingyu was punished in the end, otherwise Romero really didn't know how to deal with him.
In fact, Romero doesn't know. If Li Mingyu is still on the court, he is probably considered a useless person.
This is also the third time in the history of the World Cup final that a brutal penalty shootout will be used to determine the final champion.
In the United States World Cup in 1994, Brazil National Team defeated the Italy people through a penalty shootout, leaving Roberto Baggio with that melancholy figure that moved people.
In the 2006 Germany World Cup, the tough Italy people defeated the proud Gallic Rooster through a penalty shootout and won the FIFA World Cup Trophy of that session.
In 2022, Qatar World Cup will also use this suffocating method to determine the final champion.
Will Spain National Team, who escaped from death, be able to win the final championship, or will Messi, who is already 35 years old, be able to take home FIFA World Cup Trophy as he wishes?
Everything will be revealed to the world in a few minutes.
Argentina National Team appeared first.
The first one to appear was their forward Lautaro-Martinez.
Facing De Gea, Lautaro-Martinez deceived him very easily and scored on the other side of the goal.
1:0, Argentina National Team takes the lead temporarily.
Spain The first one to appear is Pedri.
Pedri, who is just 20 years old, already has a strong heart, and he is not frightened by changes, making the cheat sheet in Romero's hands completely useless.
Looking at Romero who threw the ball in the wrong direction, Pedri let out a vented roar.
1:1.
The suffocating penalty shootout made the fans in the stands afraid to make too much noise for fear of affecting the players below.
Li Mingyu in the locker room has been standing there, watching the situation on the screen intently.
When he saw that Pedri withstood the pressure and scored the first penalty kick, he also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just watching other people take penalty kicks, Li Mingyu felt that his heart could hardly bear it. If he were to take the penalty kick himself, he might faint.
Li Mingyu's "penalty phobia" is really strange. He has also seen many psychiatrists, but none of them had much effect.
Perhaps, Li Mingyu needs a crucial penalty shootout to untie his knot!
