I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

The scene couldn't stop celebrating, the ball has been waiting for too long.

At this point in the game, it finally returned to the starting point.

There are only ten minutes left before the end of regular time.

If you hold on for ten minutes, the Croatian team can advance.

But Cao Haoyi's goal made all their efforts in vain.

This greatly affected the morale of the Croatian team. After lying on the ground for a long time, the players stood up one after another.

However, the Croatian team is different from the Huaxia team. Many of their players are veterans who have played for many years.

Especially stars like Modric and Mandzukic quickly reassured the team.

Croatia don't want to play extra time.

So the Croatian team's defense is no longer as tight as before.

But it doesn't mean that the Huaxia team has a chance.

Because the Croatian team has a strong control ability, because the focus was on defense before.

Let the Huaxia team play several extremely threatening offenses, and now they make it more and more difficult for the Huaxia team to get the ball.

Fortunately, the Huaxia team's defense is one of the best weapons so far.

So the Croatian team did not play too threatening offense.

Li Long recalled his previous life, although the Croatian team reached the final.

But in the knockout stage, the 1/8 finals and 1/4 finals all went to overtime, and even hit a penalty shootout.

Then in the semifinals, it also went into overtime.

Only the final match against the French team did not go into overtime.

Among them is the Russian team. Although the Russian team is the host, in terms of strength, it is definitely regarded as the downstream team.

Time passed by one minute and one second, but the score did not change.

This made Li Long very worried, because the Croatian team is very good at playing overtime.

And the penalty shootout is also very good, if it really scores a penalty shootout.

The Huaxia team is probably not the opponent of the Croatian team.

Soon the time came to 94 minutes, and the Huaxia team got a corner kick.

Wei Jiafeng took a corner kick, but was saved by goalkeeper Subasic with both fists.

But the football fell towards Cai Jian outside the penalty area. After Cai Jian stopped the football on his chest, he shot the football directly and vigorously.

Cai Jian has long-range shooting ability, but today his long-range shooting is obviously not in the state.

The long-range shot flew out of bounds against the post. Seeing that the goal missed, the Huaxia fans at the scene couldn't help hugging their heads.

"Today, the quality of the long-range shots from both sides was quite good, and it can be said that they are almost inseparable." Hong Gang explained.

"But after all, it's just eight and nine, and it's only a little bit away from scoring goals."

At this time, the referee blew his whistle after the goalkeeper Subasic took the goal kick.

"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game and the two teams drew 1-1."

"The two teams will go into extra time later, and we will return to the game after a while."

The two sides did not rest for too long, listening to the head coach's tactical arrangements on the sidelines.

Soon the game restarted, and the Huaxia team won the kick-off.

The players on the field were already very tired and were constantly wiping away their sweat.

Especially the right winger Bai Yi, he was very tired in this game.

Although he didn't have many shots today, he was strictly guarded by the opponent after all.

And the only goal in the second half was also initiated from him.

Bai Yi was so tired that he put his hands on his knees.

Lippi noticed Bai Yi's state, but Lippi didn't dare to replace Bai Yi.

No matter how tired Bai Yi was, he was stronger than the energetic Yu Hanchao.

As the underdog Huaxia team, if they can score a penalty shootout, they may have a better hope of advancing.

But Lippi didn't dare to gamble. First of all, as for the goalkeeper, Yan Junling only played in the Super League.

And Subasic is the main goalkeeper of Ligue 1 Monaco, so it is clear who is more powerful.

The most important thing is the penalty shootout, which is a psychological gamble.

In this regard, the Huaxia team is too young. If they really hit a penalty shootout, the Huaxia team really has little chance of winning.

That's why Lippi didn't choose to defend with all his strength, but to score in overtime as much as possible.

But first, it didn't work as Lippi wanted, and the Huaxia team's offense was still unable to succeed.

Wei Jiafeng might also be a little anxious, so he sent a few risky passes.

If it is really passed on, it is an excellent opportunity.

After all, there was no goal in overtime, and the game really dragged into a penalty shootout.

Both Lippi and Li Long were very disturbed at this moment.

Soon the penalty shootout officially started, and the players on both sides put their arms around their shoulders one by one.

At this time, the fans of both sides are constantly cheering and cheering. Everyone knows that whoever wins the penalty shootout will be the final winner.

First of all, the Huaxia team took the first penalty. Goalkeeper Subasic walked slowly towards the goal, taking deep breaths to calm his heart.

Tian Runtao was the first to take the penalty, and Tian Runtao slowly walked towards the penalty spot.

Both sides are ready, the referee blows the whistle to indicate that a penalty kick can be taken.

Tian Runtao started the run-up, and Tian Runtao made a penalty to the upper right corner.

And this penalty kick is very powerful, and the ball speed is also very fast.

Although Subasic jumped in the right direction, the speed of the ball was too fast, and there was nothing he could do.

Then it was the turn of the Croatian team, and Badelli was the first to play.

Yan Junling was bouncing back and forth in front of the goal, Badelli sent a penalty kick and successfully tricked Yan Junling.

Then he returned to the Huaxia team, and Cao Haoyi, who scored the only goal, took the penalty.

Cao Haoyi looked at Suba in wonder, and took a deep breath! approach! hit the door!

As the only player who scored the goal, Huaxia fans were very relieved of him.

But unexpectedly, this penalty was saved by Subasic!

At this moment, all the Croatian fans cheered and celebrated, and everyone shouted for victory.

Cao Haoyi stood on the spot with his hips crossed, his eyes just closed.

But it's not over yet, the Huaxia team still has a chance.

Followed by Kramaric of the Croatian team, Kramaric made a steady penalty.

Then it was the third round, and Wei Jiafeng of the Huaxia team took the penalty.

Wei Jiafeng's performance in this game was still steady. It was his imaginative assist that helped the Huaxia team equalize the score.

But what was surprising was that Wei Jiafeng also missed the penalty.

The irony is that the ones who have lost so far are Wei Jiafeng who provided an assist, and the other is Cao Haoyi who scored the only goal.

At this moment, all Chinese audiences were desperate. It was the Croatian team's turn, and Modric took the penalty.

Yan Junling concentrated his attention, he knew that it was best to save the ball.

And he did jump in the right direction, but the angle was too tricky, and he still scored the penalty.

Then came the fourth round, and Cai Jian of the Huaxia team took the penalty.

Cai Jian was still stable, and steadily kicked the football into the goal.

Then it was the turn of the Croatian team, the ball must be saved, if not, the game will end directly.

Pivalic stood in front of the penalty spot, Yan Junling was engrossed.

At this time, the eyes of the whole world are on the two of them.

This penalty was scored! The Huaxia team was eliminated!

The penalty was saved! The Huaxia team still has a little hope!

Pivalic started a run-up and hit the football with his left foot.

Yan Junling jumped to the right in an instant, but soon he was desperate.

Because Pivalic took the penalty to the left!

Soccer into the net!

Croatia advances! Huaxia team eliminated!
