Chapter 954 Penalty and controversy

PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Although after the game, Camacho was still chatting about the penalty that Corina did not award Spain in the first half, believing that Zidane blocked Guardiola's cross with his elbow was definitely a deliberate act. Corina made a wrong decision, but most people believe that Raul, who missed the key penalty, should bear the most unshirkable responsibility for the Matador's elimination!

After all, compared with Zidane's dominant performance in this game, Real Madrid idol Raul's performance tonight was obviously not in line with people's expectations, especially the penalty kick that was enough to help Spain equalize the score at a critical moment, which made the Spanish golden boy look a lot.

However, no matter how people talk about it, what controversy exists in the game, after Spain announced its elimination, the list of the semi-finals of this European Cup was finally released!

Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and France, these four teams are about to compete for a ticket to the European Cup final!

At the same time, those international players who have bid farewell to the European Cup have also received a large number of invitations from teams after the national team's game ended. In particular, players like Mendeta, Zahovic and Zivo who have performed well in the European Cup have become popular in the transfer market!

There will be major deals after the competition, which is a normal thing in international football for a long time.

The words are too far, and now it's time to get back to the topic. After another three-day break, the European Cup semi-finals kicked off.

The first to start was the showdown between France and Portugal. The lineup was neat and united and strong players were in charge of the three lines, and the Portuguese national team with the Golden Generation as the core started a fierce competition at the Kings of Boduane Stadium.

Although Portugal took the lead with a goal in the 19th minute with the team's chief scorer Nuno Gomez, the tenacious Frenchman won a goal back in the 51st minute of the second half, tied the score one-to-one!

After scoring the equalizer for the team, Henry himself seemed very excited. After all, in the past season, the performance of this talented striker at Juventus can only be described as miserable - he only won four goals in his twenty-five league appearances. No matter which striker is put on, such a report card will be considered an absolute parallel product!

Of course, except for pure blue-collar forwards like Husky who have more tactical significance, because their existence is not about scoring goals, but about serving as a meat shield for teammates around them, which plays a role in restraining and pulling space, and scoring is not their main task.

Next, for the rest of the time, the two teams attacked and defended each other on the court, but neither of them could break through the opponent's goal again, so the game entered the overtime stage!

After entering overtime, the players on both sides performed extremely cautiously and adopted a strategy of seeking stability on the court at the same time. After all, unlike before, the current overtime is based on the golden ball system, which is the sudden death method. If there is an omission accidentally, there will be no room for recovery.

Therefore, for many teams nowadays, after entering overtime, they would rather choose to defend themselves than take the initiative to attack, because taking the initiative means that the opponent will get more shots, and the chance of sudden death is naturally much higher.

It has to be said that although there are flaws on the forward line, the Portuguese Golden Generation, which is at its peak, does have the ability to compete for the heavyweight championship. Faced with the French team with better overall strength, Portuguese players responded calmly under the leadership of Rui Costa and Figo, and pushed the game towards the direction of a penalty shootout.

The French, who knows Portugal's intentions, naturally don't want their opponents to be satisfied. Although Portugal has not had any outstanding results in penalty shootouts in recent years, France is not a good player in penalty kicks, because only a few people in their team, including Zidane and Djokav, are still reliable for 12 yards, and it would be hard to say if they choose five people.

Therefore, compared to Portugal, which was dedicated to dragging the game into a penalty kick, France seemed more active on the offensive end. However, taking the initiative does not mean that it will definitely gain correspondingly. Under the instigation of Costa and Figo, Portugal used the French team to push the offensive space to hit several counterattacks, which also created a considerable threat.

Time passed by minute by minute, just as Portugal was secretly proud of their plan being realized, the most controversial scene of the game appeared: In the 117th minute, Villott hit Shaville in the penalty area, and the referee from Austria, under the ambiguous situation, gave the French team a penalty kick very unwisely!

Although Shavil himself tried his best to explain to the referee that he did not touch the ball with his hands, and Figo and others also expressed their indignation and dissatisfaction to the referee, none of these actions could change the penalty result.

In the end, with a controversial penalty scored by Zidane, the Frenchman reached the European Cup final again after 16 years, while the Portuguese, who was defeated by a golden ball, returned in hatred!

After witnessing the team being eliminated due to a misjudgment by the referee, the young and energetic Nuno Gomez could no longer suppress his anger. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans and more fans sitting in front of the TV watching the game, the young forward who shined in this European Cup openly launched a chase against the referee in this game in public!

Although public opinion generally has sympathy for Portugal's exit and voices such as "UEFA's guide to France to the final", Gomez quickly paid the price for his violent behavior. On the second day after the game, the UEFA Discipline Committee did not hesitate to impose an eight-month ban ticket on the young Portuguese striker to punish and warn Gomez! Of course, the scope of this ban is limited to national team events.

As the biggest profitable party, the Frenchman, who is the biggest profit, naturally expressed strong support and used this to proudly analyze the referee's wisdom and correctness in the penalty kick in newspapers and TV - otherwise, why would Gomez be the one who was punished, rather than the referee who made the punishment?
