    Chapter 416 Unexpected results

    July 5, Dortmund.

    At 7:57 pm local time, the Westfalenstadion, which can accommodate 67,000 people, was packed.  Because in a few minutes, the first semi-final of this World Cup will begin.

    For more than 23,000 Chinese fans, the Westfalenstadion is no stranger.  On the contrary, all Chinese fans have the name of this stadium engraved in their hearts.

    This stadium is the venue where the Chinese team won World Cup points for the first time in history.  For such an important stadium, even if they forget their birthday, they don't want to forget the name.

    Thinking back to the time when their national team tied with the Swedish team here and gained their first points, Chinese fans couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.  This stadium that won points for the first time will become the venue for the Chinese team to advance to the finals.  In their view, the Westfalenstadion is simply a blessed place for the Chinese team.

    As for whether the Chinese team will lose to the Italian team, they have never thought about it.  Germany and Argentina, two of the world's strongest teams that are not inferior to the Italian team, fell in front of the Chinese team.  Facing the Chinese team with the talented goalkeeper Lu Hao who is invincible in Serie A, is it possible for Italy to win?

    The answer in their minds is naturally no.  Seeing the players from both sides taking their respective positions, the stands suddenly began to boil.  Taking advantage of the last little time, many fans waved the five-star red flags in their hands and tried to create a home atmosphere.  More fans cheered generously to the eleven Chinese players on the field.

    As fans of the other team in this game, more than 10,000 Italian fans were struggling in the stands.  They neither want to see their national team lose this semi-final, nor do they want to see Lu Hao lose this game.  Therefore, except for some fanatical Italian fans who cheered hard for the Italian players on the field, the rest of the Italian fans still did not make a decision.

    The last few minutes passed quickly.  When the game time came, the referee blew his whistle.  With the opening whistle, the Chinese team started its first attack of the game amid the cheers of more than 20,000 Chinese fans and most neutral fans.

    "Good evening, audience friends, what is live now is the first semi-final of this World Cup. The Chinese team faces the Italian team. The game has begun. As soon as the game started, the Chinese team launched a fierce attack. Obviously, they were eliminated in the last game  The Argentinian team gave them great confidence"

    Although it is already early morning in China, the fans are still full of energy in front of the TV, listening to Wang Tao's explanation with excitement.

    They are extremely proud of the Chinese team, which showed strong confidence from the beginning.  Some fans even believe that today's game will be the Chinese team's best performance in this World Cup.

    On the TV screen, the Chinese team moved forward steadily and confidently.  It lifted the spirits of all the fans in front of the TV.  However, the Italian team is known as the reinforced concrete defense line after all. After a few minutes, the Chinese team was forced to switch to defense.

    "It's a pity. If we had better midfielders and forwards plus Lu Hao, who else would be the opponent of the Chinese team."

    Countless fans watched the Italian team's rapid attack on TV and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.  The Chinese team is also famous for its defense, but the strength gap between the midfielder and the forward line makes the Chinese team simply unable to compare with the Italian team.

    However, their secret sighs were immediately washed away by Lu Hao's successful save of Italy's starting forward Toni's shot.  Lu Hao was still in excellent condition, temporarily making them forget these unhappiness.

    ¡°Damn it, I still can¡¯t get a goal from him.¡±

    Toni, the top scorer in the last Serie A, saw his shot saved by Lu Hao and couldn't help but cursed in his heart in annoyance.  But other Italian players were already used to it. Seeing Toni's shot being saved, they just sighed and continued to work hard to create the next opportunity.

    Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, forty-five minutes are up.  In these forty-five minutes, all the players on the Italian team made countless attempts, but still failed to break Lu Hao's hand.

    "Hell, I really don't want to fight this monster."

    Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, all the Italian players on the field complained in their hearts.  After another while, two minutes of injury time arrived.

    As soon as the time came, the referee immediately blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.  In the end, the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0:0.

    Fifteen minutes later, the intermission ended.  Players from both sides returned to the court.  When the referee blew his whistle, the second half of the game began.

    The second half of the game was like a replica of the first half.  ?On the surface, the Italian team relies on its solid defense and strong midfielder and striker to put great pressure on Chinese players such as Ji Mingyi.

    But Zhu Guanghu was not worried.  Soon, he made a comprehensive defensive gesture to the Chinese players on the field.  Immediately, all the Chinese players on the field retreated to their own half and formed an airtight iron barrel formation.

    The Italian team will naturally know how to use the iron barrel formation, and it can do even better.  However, intensive defense is always a worldwide football problem.  Even if the weak Chinese team sets up an iron barrel formation, the Italian team can only slow down and patiently look for opportunities.

    The forty-five minutes of the second half passed as the Chinese team returned to defense.  When the referee blows his whistle, the ninety-minute game ends.  As a result, the slightly excited Chinese team and the somewhat frustrated Italian team ended in a tie within 90 minutes of the game, dragging the game into overtime.

    In the subsequent overtime, the Italian team was obviously preparing for a penalty shootout.  There is a sluggish attack and constant backfooting without any purpose.  Even a layman can see that it is garbage time.

    Unexpectedly, in the tenth minute of the second half of overtime, a scene on the court silenced the entire Westfalenstadion.  More than 20,000 Chinese fans looked stupidly at Tony who was running wildly on the court to celebrate his goal, subconsciously thinking that they were hallucinating.

    "It must be an illusion. It must be an illusion"

    In the stands, a middle-aged fan rubbed his eyes vigorously and kept muttering to himself in a low voice.  But when he opened his eyes again and looked at the electronic scoreboard on the sidelines, the bright red "0:1" stung his eyes.

    Until this moment, the more than 10,000 Italian fans seemed to have woken up from a dream and cheered loudly for the Italian team to score a goal.

    Amidst the deafening cheers, Tony, who was full of excitement, was surrounded by several teammates.  Voices full of surprise reached his ears.

    ¡°Well done¡±

    ¡°This goal is so cool¡±

    "Ha, you scored a goal from that Chinese goalkeeper. Tomorrow the whole world will know your name"

    ""

    However, after Tony, who was praised by his teammates, was excited, he looked at Lu Hao who was silently patting grass clippings on his body with some disbelief.  Then, he turned back and said in surprise.

    "The shot I took just now is no different from the previous ones. Why didn't he save it"

    Before he could finish his words, Totti and other teammates interrupted him with disapproval.

    "This is not important. What is important is that we are ahead."

    "He is still a human being after all. It is normal for humans to make mistakes."

    "Don't take it to heart, in short we will win this game."

    ""

    While Totti and other Italian players were comforting Toni, Lu Hao stood in front of the goal with his head lowered and his hands on his hips.  Even Ji Mingyi and others not far away could not clearly see the expression on his face at this time.

    "Lu Hao, don't worry. We still have time to equalize the score."

    Seeing Lu Hao lowering his head, Sun Jihai quickly comforted him loudly.  But even so, he didn't believe that he could get back this lagging goal.

    "I'm fine"

    When Lu Hao heard Sun Jihai's shout, he raised his head and smiled reluctantly.  But he didn't dare to look up at the Chinese fans in the stands.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    In the last five minutes, I couldn¡¯t stop.  When the time came, the referee immediately blew his whistle.  The final whistle also announced that the semi-final was over.

    But at this time, just as everyone in the Italian team rushed into the stadium excitedly to celebrate advancing to the finals, the whole world was shocked by the result of this game.

    Everyone is talking about Lu Hao losing the ball, which seems very strange to everyone.  In Florence, Diamanti and others kept making phone calls to find out whether there was something wrong with their eyes and they saw the score wrong.

    After a round of phone calls, they finally confirmed that they were not mistaken.  Lu Hao indeed lost the ball.  At this time, Diamanti's cell phone that had not yet been put down rang.  He picked up the phone and looked, but it was Mondonico calling.

    "Do you know why Lu lost the ball in the game? If you know, please tell me quickly."

    Diamanti was startled by Mondonico's anxious voice.  Immediately, he explained to Mondonico with a grimace and a very depressed look on his face.

    "Sir, that guy never turns on his cell phone during the game. Although I have a good relationship with him, I haven't been able to contact him during this time. I don't know why he?Will be scored by Tony at the last moment.  "

    "Oh, if you contact him, give me a call as soon as possible. I want to ask what is the reason why he is acting so abnormally."

    "Yes, sir."

    Diamanti responded honestly.  When Mondonico hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Lu Hao's cell phone through gritted teeth.

    "Lu, you bastard, I really want to see Italy enter the finals. But I don't want to see you deliberately letting it go"

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, China has become lively.  When the game officially ended, a large number of discussion posts immediately emerged on the Internet.  The topics of the posts are all about Lu Hao losing the ball.

    Tonight is destined to be a night that Chinese fans cannot sleep.
