football dynasty

England's penalty player in the second round was Sturridge, who withstood the pressure and volleyed from the upper left corner with his left foot and successfully scored.

Although Buffon has a calm expression, if you observe carefully, you can find flowing anger from under his calm surface.Conceding two penalties in a row, Buffon was somewhat dissatisfied with himself.

Many people say that Buffon is not good at saving penalties. This is actually a wrong view. On the contrary, in terms of the success rate of saving points, Buffon is one of the five best goalkeepers in Europe.

An organization once counted the success rate of goalkeepers in the five major leagues in Europe. As of June 2013, Cesar was the best at saving points. His success rate of saving points was 6%, and Buffon was in this list. Fourth place!The success rate of saving points is 30.00% 20.00.

This study also said one more thing, why do some people think that Buffon is not good at pouncing?
Because Buffon had an eight-year "penalty dry season".

Between the summer of 2003 and the summer of 2011, Buffon faced 49 penalties, only defending eight of them.Because during this period, the Juventus goalkeeper suffered three more serious injuries: the 2005 Berlusconi Cup collided with Kaka resulting in a shoulder dislocation, the thigh muscle was torn in the second half of 2008, and 2010. Lumbar disc herniation.Affected by injuries, Buffon's performance before the penalty spot was naturally not so good.

However, after July 2011, the healthy Buffon began to regain his former state.Beginning in 7, his success rate of hitting points was as high as 2011% 30.00.

The current Buffon is not the Buffon of the past. He is also eager to prove himself again. He is not afraid of penalties!

…………

Now penalty score: England 2: 1 Italy.

The third round of penalty kicks started, and the Italian fans in the stands gave out huge cheers. They knew that the national team needed their support at this time.

Pirlo stood twelve yards before.

But at this time, a surprising scene appeared on the broadcast camera. Li Wei didn't know when he stood next to the goal post, but he didn't step into the field, so there was no foul.

He called the young teenager Butland over, whispered something in his ear.

The commentator joked: "Is Li Wei putting pressure on Pirlo? Unfortunately, this may not be of much use. Pirlo is not one of those young players. He is 32 years old and has experienced too many big scenes. Such a small The means have no effect on him."

The referee walked towards Li Wei and signaled him to stay away from the goal.

Li Wei did not argue with the referee, he stepped back a few steps, but was still near the goal.

The referee didn't pay attention to Li Wei anymore. He focused on the penalty kick, making sure that both sides were ready, the goalkeeper didn't hit the goal line, the penalty kick was placed on the twelve yards, etc., and his whistle sounded !

Pirlo started his run-up a while after the whistle sounded, followed by a shot - commentator: "Oh! It's a spoon - Butland, Butland didn't move! He seemed to know that Pirlo wanted a spoon, he Easily caught Pirlo's penalty kick! Did Li Wei really see through Pirlo's penalty? Or did he simply put pressure on Pirlo? Or did Butland judge Pirlo's penalty kick by himself?"

No one knows the answer for the time being, but the important thing is that the balance of victory has tilted to the England national team!
Italy has conceded two penalties in a row.

In the third round, Li Wei arranged for Ashley Young to play, and he knew that this was a player with a big heart.

It's just that Ashley Young was eager to make a contribution, volleyed vigorously, and the football hit the crossbar.

This made England fans sigh, they missed the opportunity to widen the point difference.

The Italian fans shouted excitedly. Although Buffon, the world's number one goalkeeper in their minds, failed to save England's penalty kick, Ashley Young's mistake made them retain their hope of defeating England.

After three rounds, England 2:1 Italy.

The score difference is not big, Italy still has a chance!

In the fourth round, Nocerino shot at the lower left corner. Although Butland made an accurate save, the ball was too fast and flew into the goal by rubbing Butland's fingertips.

The Italian side Buffon showed his power this time, he hugged Ashley Cole's penalty.

The situation took a turn for the worse. England originally had a great advantage, but because they missed two penalty kicks in a row, Italy scored a penalty kick and immediately brought the score back to 2:2.

This also makes the next round of penalty shootout extremely critical.

Assuming that one side can save the opponent's penalty kick, and their own side can score the penalty kick, then they will become the last team to advance to the semi-finals.

This round of penalty kicks is too important, which also makes timid fans close their eyes and dare not watch.

Li Wei is still standing behind the side of the goal, and Butland is in front of his side.

Twelve yards in front of Butland is Diamanti, the Italian international nicknamed "Diamond", who is also one of Levi's former disciples.

Butland's expression was solemn, he took a deep breath, he kept in mind what Li Wei said to him, believe in yourself!Believe in your own efforts!
The reason why Li Wei suddenly replaced Butland at 119 minutes was not because Butland was his godson, but because of Butland's own efforts and performance.

As early as six days before the start of the game, Levi had a hunch that there might be a penalty shootout.

However, the penalty kick is the 'Achilles heel' of the England national team. The players have huge pressure on the penalty kick. This problem cannot be solved in a short while.

At this time, Li Wei thought of Van Gaal's wonderful substitution in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which was called the head coach's lore.

The situation at the time was somewhat similar to now, except that Van Gaal's Dutch team played against Costa Rica. The two sides drew in the quarter-finals of the World Cup and had to rely on penalty shootouts to decide the outcome.

At 1 minutes, Van Gaal suddenly used the last precious substitution, replacing the starting goalkeeper Cillessen and replacing the No. 10 goalkeeper Krul.

Krul was not a goalkeeper who was good at saving penalties before. In the past five seasons, he played for Newcastle United goalkeeper [-] times and only saved two.

But this substitution helped the Netherlands eliminate Costa Rica. Krul miraculously saved two penalties and finally helped the Netherlands win the penalty shootout.

What made Krul suddenly go from being a goalkeeper who was not very good at saving penalties to being so brave?
In fact, if you understand the reason, it is not surprising at all.

After the last game, Krul had six days to study the opponent's penalty kick habits, watch various videos, and arrange players to train Krul to imitate the penalty kicks of Costa Rican players.After six consecutive days of research and training, Krul has a deep understanding of the penalty methods of Costa Rican players.It's like the note that German goalkeeper coach Kopkes gave Lehmann in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup. The difference is that Krul has already recorded the note in his mind and does not need the goalkeeper coach's note guidance.

Li Wei used this method to train the substitute goalkeeper.The difference is that his No.1 pick is not Butland, but No. [-] goalkeeper Green.
