As the referee blows the whistle, the stoppage time ends and the game is suspended, and then it will enter the overtime period.
This is also the first time in the history of the European war that a golden goal system has been played in overtime!
That’s right, the golden ball system!
Also known as...sudden death method!
The golden goal system is a short-lived overtime rule in football history.
Specifically, if two teams are tied during the normal 90-minute game time, they will need to play overtime with 15 minutes each in the first half.
If a team scores the first goal in overtime, the game ends immediately and that team wins.
This goal is called the golden goal, similar to sudden death in football or ice hockey.
The original intention of this competition system was to promote offensive football and curb negative games.
In the 1990 World Cup in Italy, Argentina relied on the guiding ideology of "counter-offensive" to squeeze out the highly ornamental Brazil, Yugoslavia and Italy teams in the knockout stage, and used penalty kicks twice to reach the finals, and finally created
An embarrassing miracle - scoring 5 goals in 7 games became the world runner-up.
It was a success for the Argentine team.
But it is a huge harm to world football.
The enthusiasm of old fans is exhausted by this kind of game, and new fans will not be attracted by this boring game. Many sports decline or even perish due to this double loss.
Therefore, the golden ball system came into being.
So far, the golden ball system has appeared in the 1996 European Cup final, the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals, the 2000 European Cup semi-finals, finals and other competitions.
The beneficiaries are Germany, France, France, France, and those who scored the golden goal are Oliver Bierhoff, Laurent Blanc, Zidane, and Trezeguet.

Last year, the Portuguese team was defeated by Zidane's golden goal in the European Cup semi-finals. Therefore, although Sporting Lisbon fans are familiar with this competition system, they are also a bit disgusted or afraid.
During the break before the start of overtime, all the major commentators were talking about this matter.
Whether it is from one player less, physical fitness, hard power of both sides, or the Golden Ball system, Sporting Lisbon has no chance of winning.
According to real-time reports from local media, a large number of Liverpool fans have begun to gather in the city of Liverpool, preparing to celebrate the team's Cup Triple Crown.
A Liverpool fan said in an interview: "This is just the beginning of Liverpool's renaissance. We defeated Manchester United's fans-Deng Kai and his team. Next, next year we will kill Manchester United in the league! Kill Ferguson! Liverpool is
The strongest! We are back!"
This interview was featured on major sports channels.
However, during the preparations between the two sides, there was another piece of news that also received widespread attention from fans, and that was...
"Breaking news! The culprit for Liverpool's poor form in the second half has been found! Was it because he was playing drunk?"
"The reason why Sporting Lisbon players are so excited is simple. They cannot accept the slight from Liverpool because Liverpool ordered red wine to the dressing room during halftime!"
"Open the champagne at midfield! Liverpool celebrated their victory early and almost overturned!"
"Staff: Gerrard asked me during halftime if I had any red wine and asked me to send one to the Liverpool dressing room!"
"Related Person: Gerrard did come to ask for red wine."
"Informed person who does not want to disclose his identity: Dortmund's sporting director sent red wine to the Liverpool dressing room. They want to get Gerrard and Heskey from Liverpool! The two sides will start negotiations on this this summer!"
"The attitude of a king! Liverpool have absolute confidence in their own strength. They ordered a bottle of champagne to celebrate during the halftime break to show confidence, not arrogance!"
"Ronaldo: I don't know if it's true, but if it's true, it's really disrespectful to the opponent!"
"Zidane: If my opponents pop champagne at halftime to celebrate, I will give them a defeat or a beating!"
The news quickly spread throughout European football.
I believe that in half an hour it will spread all over the world.
What Liverpool did is really outrageous.
But fans in England think Gerrard did a very good job, which is very English!
"Well done to Gerrard! This will show how unique we English people are!"
"Eastern culture advocates low-key, but that's just because they are not sure. We are sure, so we can be as high-key as we like!"
"Gerrard created a classic! In the future, opening champagne when a top team leads by a big score will become a symbol of a wealthy club!"
"This is Liverpool, strong Liverpool!"
"Gerrard's approach is a reflection of his leadership ability. I think he should become the captain of Liverpool in the future!"
"I love what Gerald did, it's so handsome! So cool!"
"I declare that from today on, I am a die-hard Gerrard fan!"
"Gerrard, like Beckham, even made up for Beckham's only shortcoming - being too low-key!"
"To be honest, if Beckham's character was like Zidane, he would have been Mr. Ballon d'Or and World Footballer! I am optimistic about Gerrard's future!"
The absurd thing about this world is that after the midfield champagne incident was reported, both Gerrard and Liverpool became more popular.
Everyone is very supportive of them doing this.
Most people value the results more than the starting point and process.
It doesn’t matter whether you are pretending to be awesome or not, as long as you are pretending, you are awesome.
Of course, if you don't pretend, you're an idiot.
They never look at the essence, or even whether something is real.
…
Soon, overtime came.
Sporting Lisbon has a small adjustment here.
Replaced the depleted midfielder Viana with forward Joao Pinto.
The lineup became:
Cristiano Ronaldo, Yin Bu, Quaresma
Pinto
Bento , Deng Kai
Terry, Fonte, Barzagli
Schmeichel
A bit like 4213.
Pinto played in the attacking midfielder position, and with Deng Kai moving back, this substitution was no problem.
On the other side, Gerrard also heard a lot of encouragement from the fans during the short break. The fans at the scene even shouted "The next Beckham" in an organized manner!
There is no young England player who doesn't want to be the next David Beckham.
Became famous with one goal, the main player of a wealthy club, a young international player, and the hero of the Triple Crown!
Gerrard has almost copied Beckham's path to fame and will even win the Triple Crown earlier than Beckham!
drop!
The whistle blew and overtime officially began.
Liverpool kicks off.
For Sporting Lisbon, Cristiano Ronaldo, Yin Bu, Quaresma, and Deng Kai rushed forward to grab the ball, but Pinto, who everyone expected to go to the frontcourt, stayed in the midfield.
