The first team to take the penalty was Italy.
Ivan stood there holding a whistle. The camera gave him two seconds of footage. He looked so relaxed and comfortable.

#小甜甜: I don't need to save the team, I just need to blow the whistle today.jpg
After hugging Buffon, Neuer went to the goal. He jumped on the goal line to cheer himself up.
Italy's first penalty taker, Ishigne, was very steady. He did not have the psychological pressure of having a ferocious beast at the side. He deceived Neuer and scored the goal.
The first German player to take the penalty kick was Toni Kroos, who looked quite calm - as the first German player to test the waters under the referee's "watchful eye", he really needed to be steady.
In the words of the message board, it's about as stable as Tony.
Ah Kuan was actually also panicking, but he managed to stay calm. He walked over without looking around, not even at Ivan.
A Kuan, who was as steady as an old dog, also scored the penalty, but Buffon, who was getting better and better with age, judged the direction correctly.
The camera scanned the direction of the German team members. No. 13, No. 7, and No. 8 stood together, Erwa, Xiaozhu, and his young wife. The scenery here is unique.
The second player to go up for Italy was Zaza, a surprise player specially sent up by Italian coach Conte.
Zaza knew very well that his task was to take the penalty kick. The bald bearded man walked up and started his small step run-up after Ivan blew the whistle.
Then, the famous scene came.
After saving the penalty, Buffon stood by the goal with his back to it, not watching his teammates' performance. When he heard the whistle, he was nervous and sweating.
Alvin watched Zaza hopping around in small steps for about two or three seconds, and then kicked the ball towards the right side of the goal.
Neuer dived in another direction. After Shin-chan fell to the ground, he was still thinking that he had misjudged the direction again. The ball went in, but unexpectedly there was an uproar at the scene.
Zaza kicked the ball to the right!
Buffon didn't look at the ball just now. When he heard something wrong, he wanted to look back at the net, but he saw the ball passing by him.
Conte: “…”
Buffon: “…”
#AngryBullfilling: You seem to be kidding me.jpg
#AngryBuShiNeng: MMP on the face, MMP in the heart!
The camera swept across his face and the fans who were watching the game laughed. They were originally sighing, but when they saw Buffon's face with a look of shock, they laughed.
I feel sorry for Buffon.
Ivan also felt sorry for Italy, but it had nothing to do with Xiao Tiantian... No, even if it was related to him, he wouldn't react too much.
As steady as Sweetie, beautiful and with a big heart.
A glimmer of hope appeared on the faces of German fans, while Italian fans began to talk about Britney Spears in panic.
However, many people said they couldn't understand what happened next. Why did Zaza change his expression so suddenly after he kicked a fan away? It’s early!
OK so who is the second flustered player on the German team?
Please welcome the second panic contestant——
Thomas Muller!
When Ivan blew the whistle, Muller took a run-up and Buffon held his breath. There was nothing he could do. His teammates were running around and he had to clean up their mess.
As a result, just as he was about to start, he saw Muller, who had just taken a step, fall down?
Cloth filling pit:? ? ?
Candy:? ? ?
Fans at the scene:? ? ?
Love:? ? ?
Two years ago in the World Cup, the German team staged a wrestling-style free kick combination, but they were unsuccessful. Did Muller fall today on purpose or by accident?
Muller quickly turned his head to look at Ivan, and seeing that Ivan didn't react, he got up and continued running, kicking the ball.
Ivan didn't know whether to blow the whistle or not. Seeing that Muller fell and didn't touch the ball, he didn't blow the whistle.
But who is Buffon? The goalkeeper would not be fooled by this sudden little trick!
Muller's kick was not strong enough and Buffon saved it.
Buffon rushed out and shouted with joy, "I successfully cleaned up my teammate's ass!"
Erwa walked back with his head in his hands. He became the first boy of the German team to be kicked away.
The two sides returned to the same starting line, and Italian fans turned sadness into joy, and they continued to look forward to the next round.
In the third round, Italy's player Barzagli was on the field. As Italy's central defender, he also demonstrated what it means to be as steady as an old dog.
He scored this goal from the middle, which can be said to be very bold.
The player who came up for Germany was Ozil. He was the hero of the team in this game. He created the only goal of the team in the past 120 minutes.
His penalty kick success rate is still pretty good, and you can't tell whether he was nervous or not when he walked up, because he always looks so lovable.
All right, let's welcome the third panicked contestant -
This time it was Ozil who deceived the goalkeeper but failed to score, his shot hit the post!
He became the second kick-away boy of the German team after Muller!
The Chinese fans are very excited. If another Kick-Off Boy comes along, the three of them can debut as a group called TFBOY, right?
German fans were confused. It was only the end of one round and they were the ones falling behind?
Many people had a bad feeling in their hearts, Mom, this penalty shootout will not be as ill-fated as the World Cup six years ago, right? The script at that time seemed to be like this, with the first five rounds being a mixture of heaven and hell.
If it weren't for Irwin, their opponent England would have been eliminated long ago.
But there is no Ivan in Italy today, although I heard that Ivan can be considered half Italian... No, no, no, they should be following the script of England at that time, not theirs who were eliminated!
Buffon was happy, but the one who was feeling upset was Shin-chan.
Löw's face on the sidelines became more and more uglier. What's wrong with this group of people?
#Neuer: I TM...
#Lew: weak, pitiful and helpless.jpg
It’s okay, the five rounds haven’t ended yet, this time it’s the fourth round, as long as Neuer performs well, the Germans can still be saved.
Pelle was still teasing Neuer and constantly interfering with him.
Neuer was unmoved. He told himself to learn from the expressionless referee and stay calm at all times!
It's time to clean up your teammates' butts!
Ivan blew the whistle and Pelle took a run and shot, but the guy didn't know why and shot wide.
The Italians who thought they had come back to life: "..."
Conte, with a worried look on his face: "..."
The team finally took the lead, and I was happy for a few seconds. But when I turned around, I saw Buffon didn’t score: F*ck…
The young men of the German team cheered and gave thumbs up to Shin-chan who did nothing but cleaned up his teammates' butts.
The commentator was embarrassed: "Italy has once again given up its lead. Now it all depends on the last three players..."
The camera skillfully jumps to Ivan.
"...I always feel that the direction of this game is very familiar. You don't know who will win until the last moment. How similar is this to Irving's famous World Cup match?"
The message board immediately expressed admiration for the commentator's toxic predictions, hoping that what he said would come true.
By the way, what is Xiao Tiantian thinking right now? Would he feel that the scene before him was familiar?
Alvin didn't react much. He was concentrating on counting the goals scored by the players of both teams.
If he didn't react, his fans wouldn't fail to react.
Everybody was laughing, the shooting percentages of the two teams were truly impressive. Are the German and Italian teams preparing to pick up the same script today and perform another three-in-three-out drama to pay tribute to the handsome referee Xiao Tiantian?
Sorry, England has the reliable little Sweetie to save the whole team, do you have that?
I wonder if there is one? Then are you still having so much fun playing with your heartbeat?
OK, so who is Germany's fourth flustered contestant?
Hey, it's young player De Jong~
This kid seemed to be in a good mood. He had just flown to Italy, which gave him a lot of psychological relief. As long as he scores this goal, they will be tied with Italy.
Facts have proved that sometimes young players have a good mentality when taking penalty kicks. They are more aggressive, don’t care so much about gains and losses, don’t have so much pressure, and their psychological endurance is relatively better.
De Jong scored the goal.
Well, after four rounds, the suspense continued and the two sides still shook hands and ended in a tie.
The camera turned to the sidelines, and Love's face looked much better.
In the fifth round, the last round, all the pressure was on the penalty takers and the two goalkeepers. No matter who made a mistake, there was no way the next teammate could save it.
In other words, once you're down, you're down. Penalty shootouts are decided in the first five rounds. Unless both teams score and advance to the next round of eliminations, no teammates will be able to help you clean up the mess.
The player who played for Italy in the fifth round was Bonucci. It was his penalty kick that equalized the score for Italy, allowing the team to drag the game into overtime and a penalty shootout.
By this calculation, Germany is in dire straits now, and it is closely related to the penalty kick awarded by Xiao Tiantian~
The Italian coaching staff unanimously expressed their confidence in Bonucci, so they put Bonucci in the fifth position, hoping that he would break through the goal guarded by Neuer again.
However, the German goalkeeper was not bragging. Neuer learned his lesson and was very calm. He missed Bonucci's shot last time, but this time, he saved the opponent's shot.
One-handed save, so cool!
Neuer said, you can score against me once, but you can't score against me a second time!
Buffon: I…
The camera was given to the frustrated Bonucci, then to Neuer, and finally to Ivan.
Fans can see approval from Xiao Tiantian's expressionless face~
How does that sentence go? Heroes appreciate each other~
The Italian player missed the fifth penalty, and the suspense only rested on the German penalty taker.
In other words, the pressure is all on Buffon.
Whether the team can advance depends entirely on whether Buffon can save this ball.
Looking at Ivan and Buffon being compared together in the camera, the fans once again sighed that Britney Spears is in high spirits - don't ask them how they can tell, Britney Spears seems to like it!
#小甜甜: Every time I play in a penalty shootout, it’s so exciting~
Yes, at first all the pressure was on Ivan, but now it is Buffon who has to bear the pressure of saving the whole team! Xiao Tiantian is fearless, Xiao Tiantian is responsible for watching the show!
Italy is worthy of being one of Britney Spears’s hometowns. In order to learn from Alvin, they directly copied Alvin’s original script!
This is Buffon's last European Cup. I hope the ending of this script will be the same as Ivan's!
Italian fans once again hope that Buffon can go and have a fight with Ivan.
Many people said that their hearts almost stopped beating. They cried one by one, with their hearts full of expectation and torture.
After seeing Pellet's shot go flying, many people already wanted to turn off the TV.
Then when they saw Bonucci fail, many Italians were on the verge of smashing the TV.
Irwin signaled the last German player to come on.
So, whether the Germans will win the game in one go and advance to the semi-finals, or continue to perform the "walking hand in hand with the Italians, whoever scores first is a dog" plot, all depends on this fifth man!
Who is Germany's fifth flustered player?
——Oh, it’s Captain Xiaozhu who has been standing with the two Kick-Flying Boys!
The piglet still had that sad face, he was more panicked than anyone else. He didn't even dare to watch other people's penalty kicks, but now he was asked to take the penalty. Isn't this putting him in a difficult position?
He lowered his head and walked on his own way. When he passed by Ivan, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he glanced at the referee who was also looking at him.
After reading it, he became even more panicked.
...Fuck! This familiar aura, this familiar... As long as he stands there, you will never be able to overcome his posture!
Buffon was well prepared, and the aura of Italy's general attack was not to be underestimated. He stood there, and together with the unintentional pressure from the referee Irwin, he directly squeezed the trembling piglet into being weak, pitiful and helpless.
#小猪: My life is coming to an end, my life is coming to an end, my old life is coming to an end…
Bu Tiankeng said that he is not old yet, he will become more and more charming as he gets older, he can do it.
...Haven’t you seen how many times he wiped his teammates’ butts?
This is a contest between the captains of the two teams.
Obviously, in terms of psychological competition, Schweinsteiger is far inferior to Buffon.
Schweinsteiger didn't even dare to look at Buffon. After hearing the whistle, he just kept kicking.
The result was equally touching. Xiaozhu was afraid that there would not be enough gap between the two sides, so he kicked the ball away.
Buffon didn't need to save at all, his opponent gave away first blood!
...My pig!
...I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm just afraid of... the same captain!
The German team’s third flying kick boy is born!
They can tidy up and debut as the center of the group!
Kick boy away, let’s go together, whoever scores first is a dog!
After the piglet wearing the captain's armband hit the ball high, he bent down, covered his face with his hands, and pulled out some grass in despair to vent his anger.
The Germans were once again confused, while the Italians breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the commentator was stunned: "This is incredible! After the penalty shootout, both sides actually missed three penalties!"
This hit rate is shockingly low!
The German team really followed the same script from 6 years ago!
#Xiaoxin: I TM...
The camera turned to Ivan, who raised his eyebrows slightly with regret, as if he was worried about not being able to go home after get off work.
...Don't worry about anything, Xiao Tiantian, don't let him watch the show too quickly!
Buffon looked calm, and his teammates felt relieved when seeing his steady face.
"Is it Italy, not Germany, that has copied England's script?" the commentator joked. "Such a similar sense of security. Forgive me for thinking of Ivan when I see Buffon now."
England fans said, what can they do? They are desperate too. The national team was eliminated, and was eliminated by the dark horse Iceland, but the spirit of their three cat army is still there!
The soul of the team, Xiao Tiantian, as the third team in various World Cup and European Cup competitions, he always represents my junior cat!
The home team is out, and I can only watch Xiao Tiantian refereeing as a consolation QAQ
Neuer looked confused as his teammates always let their new father down, and he also expressed his despair.
Buffon looked fine on the surface, but I don't know what he was cursing in his heart. Compared to being betrayed by his teammates, has Neuer cleaned up the mess for his teammates more times than Buffon did?
The penalty shootout continued and it was Giacherini who came over from Italy.
The outcome is determined by one goal. In the same round, either both goals are scored or both goals are lost, and the game can continue. Whoever loses the ball first goes home.
Fans from both sides were crying, with the German fans crying especially loudly. It seemed like they followed a script. Why did they have to experience the same sadness twice?
If we are eliminated this time, I will never dare to call a penalty ojbk again!
Italian fans cried and kept saying, this is our Buffon’s last European Cup, why are the other players so ineffective? Why can’t Buffon’s dream of winning the European Cup come true once?
Four years ago in the summer, Italy lost to Spain and had to finish second.
Today, four years later, can they make it to the semi-finals and fight for the highest honor that they have not touched in the past ten years?
An old horse in the stable still has a thousand miles to go!
When Giancarlo kicked the ball over, Ivan's eyes flickered. This ball... is interesting.
The camera was facing the players from both teams taking the penalty kick, and Ivan's eyes were not captured by the camera for the time being.
Giacarini's ball hit the goal post!
The ball seemed to bounce and then hit the crossbar?
The ball didn’t go in…but where did it go?
Italian fans and players were almost heartbroken at that time.
If there is no ball in the goal, does that mean the goal did not go in?
The camera was turned to Ivan, but he did not make any gesture to indicate that the ball had gone in.
What is he waiting for?
After Neuer fell to the ground, he was still happy in his heart. Although the ball did not go in, victory was within reach!
He got up and found something was wrong, as if a dark shadow had fallen down?
Throwing objects from high places?
How is that possible? It must be the ball!
The camera froze, and the whole world watched as the ball bounced high and fell down again. It bounced one meter in front of Neuer, who got up to celebrate, and went towards the goal.
What the hell! Xiaoxin, turn back quickly!
Neuer saw the horrified eyes of his teammates and the face of Gacherini, who was about to cry but suddenly became excited.
He realized something was wrong and saw the ball bounce into the goal after falling from a high altitude.
#Buffon: I… huh?
“…”
Just like Buffon’s reaction, the entire stadium was silent after the ups and downs.
The focus came to Ivan.
Does this ball count as a goal?
