Chapter 65
After 20 minutes of continuous attack, the Italian youth team finally broke through the defense line.
Sun Yu ran with the football in his arms and punched the fans in the stands.
On the side of the court.
Head coach Van der Rooy excitedly swung his right arm vigorously, signaling the players to press forward, and he still insisted on attacking.
The Dutch youth team players were already excited, and at this time, without his reminder, everyone would press forward to compete with the Italian youth team.
If they couldn't beat the Italian youth team at home, the situation would be extremely dangerous when they went away.
According to the character of the Italians, returning to the home court to slow down the rhythm, draw with the Dutch youth team, and advance with the advantage of away goals is not impossible.
In the history of Italian football, there are countless examples of this.
Even if the Dutch youth team scored another goal, the Italian youth team only needed 1-0 to advance to the European Youth Championship when they returned to their home court.
If everything is possible in the football world, the Italians can definitely reduce the possibility of accidents to the lowest level.
Sun Yu couldn't care less now, he could only do it!
Taking advantage of the Dutch youth team's goal, Van der Rooy replaced Williams with Sinkgraven, ready to fight to the death on the left.
After the game started, Sun Yu and Sinkgraven kept attacking the Italian youth team's defense on the left.
The morale of the Italian youth team dropped a lot after losing the ball, and Sun Yu and Sinkgraven were both in good physical condition, so they suddenly fell into a passive position at the last moment of the game.
Midfielders Viviani and Sabelli could only take turns to participate in the defense on the right side of the penalty area.
In the 83rd minute, Sun Yu pressed Zappacosta to the penalty area line, and then turned and passed the ball to the left.
Sinkgraven, who came forward to assist, made a cross without adjustment, Rugani headed the ball out of the penalty area, and Ake on the outside met the ball and shot, and the football was slightly higher than the crossbar.
In the 85th minute, Sun Yu broke through and passed the ball to Sinkgraven again. The latter passed the ball to Sun Yu horizontally at the moment Zappacosta ran out.
Sun Yu dribbled the ball horizontally at the edge of the penalty area and suddenly passed it to the right.
El Ghazi followed up and scored from the right side of the small penalty area!
But just as the Dutch players were about to celebrate, the linesman suddenly raised the flag.
The Italian players quickly sent a free kick, and they passed the ball to the front court with three passes.
Sabelli rushed all the way to the edge of the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area, and passed the ball to the middle at the moment when Rekik made a backup defense.
Belotti rushed to the point and another central defender Van Beek flew to tackle the ball without hesitation and blocked the ball out of the penalty area.
The Dutch players quickly returned to defense and blocked the second round of attack by the Italian players.
It was a close call!
The counterattack of the Italian youth team was very sharp, and they were worthy of being experts in defensive counterattacks.
Just now, the Dutch youth team players had obviously retreated in time, but they were still chased by the opponent and passed three consecutive passes into the empty space.
After a false alarm, the Dutch youth team continued to attack the opponent's defense line.
At the moment of high morale, three meat-grinder midfielders pressed the Italian players to the half court and scrambled, and two central defenders stood in the half court to intercept.
The Dutch youth team took a risky move, and the scene was dangerous several times.
Only four Italian players participated in the attack, and the other players returned to their own half.
Under heavy pressure, the Italian players finally began to make mistakes.
In the 89th minute, the Dutch youth team passed the ball directly to the middle, and Viviani made a mistake in the tackle in the penalty area and shoveled the ball to the right side of his own penalty area.
Sun Yu and Zappacosta rushed to the ball at the same time. Sun Yu pressed the opponent at the first time. The two people collided, and Zappacosta's body suddenly leaned forward violently.
His physical strength reached the extreme!
His legs were exhausted!
At this moment!
The home fans of the entire Future Stadium stood up!
In their eyes, Sun Yu rushed to the opponent's goal with the ball.
Goalkeeper Baldi attacked, and Sun Yu decisively changed direction to the left and dodged the gap.
Baldi gambled and pounced on the football!
He didn't touch the football!
Instead, he knocked Sun Yu down on the grass!
The referee's whistle sounded immediately!
Penalty!
Sun Yu got up from the grass and swung his right arm vigorously, and the stadium was filled with cheers.
Although the Dutch youth team played passively for quite a while, they finally took the initiative in the play-offs with the impact in the last half hour.
Sun Yu subconsciously wanted to hug the football, but a figure picked it up first.
It was center forward Castaño.
He hugged the football and gave Sun Yu an excited hug: "Man, great job! Take mine!"
This...
Sun Yu tried his best to keep the smile on his face and nodded to the other party: "Go for it!"
He could see that the 22-year-old CastañoTainio is the first penalty taker appointed by the head coach.
Sun Yu is new to the team and knows very little about everything in this team. He doesn't even know who is the first penalty taker.
Before Sun Yu arrived, the Dutch U21 had played eight games in nearly a year.
A year is not long, but it is not short either.
At least in this team, Sun Yu is just a new young man.
OK.
Although Sun Yu wanted to take this penalty, the team has formed an order, and it is not easy for him to grab the penalty.
He is not Madueke, who dares to grab the penalty with a thick skin.
This is something that ordinary people really can't do.
Castaño put the penalty on the penalty spot, then stepped back a few meters, raised his head and waited for the referee's whistle.
At this time, the whole stadium was quiet.
The referee's whistle sounded at the right time, and Castaño immediately took a run-up.
His body proportions are indeed very similar to Bolt, and he ran to the football without much effort.
The Italian youth team goalkeeper Baldi shrank into a ball and moved to his left.
This action seemed to stimulate Castagno, and his movement frequency was obviously half a beat faster, and he immediately pulled the ball to the left side of the goal.
However, Baldi, who had just moved to the left, suddenly changed direction and made a desperate save to the right.
In an instant, his body flew out like a spring.
Castagno's shot was powerful, but the angle was not open.
Baldi's right hand blocked the ball, and Sun Yu rushed into the penalty area almost immediately.
Baldi used his hand to support the grass and bounced up again, pressing the ball under his body.
Sun Yu hurriedly retracted his legs and jumped over the opponent's body.
When he turned around, he saw Baldi bounced up from the grass again, and threw the ball forward fiercely.
Belotti held the defender near the center circle, stopped the ball with his body, and then passed the ball to Sebeli on the right.
Sinkgraven chased the Italian right winger desperately behind him, and the players from both sides were desperately running towards the half of the Dutch youth team.
Sinkgraven couldn't catch up with Sabelli behind him, so he simply tried to tackle from behind, but missed.
In this way, the right side of the Dutch youth team became an open area. Sabelli led the ball from the midfield to the edge of the penalty area until Bazoer caught up and passed the ball to the right.
Belotti stopped the ball and then passed it to the left.
After receiving the ball, Bernardeschi took a step forward, suddenly cut inside, and pushed the ball into the goal.
1:2!
Sun Yu had no adjectives in his mind at this moment, and could only blurt out "Fuck".
From the lore to the lore, it was because of a missed penalty kick.
It's so sad.
This Castagno!
No wonder he can't play in the Eredivisie!
It's really sad!
The Italian youth team is not the best in Europe, and their counterattack is like a tornado.
Since crossing over, Sun Yu feels that he has finally met a real opponent.
