"it is good!"

Lippi no longer hesitated.

Agreed to Xiao Chenhui's first free throw.

And quickly read out the order of appearance of other penalty kick players.

As a world-class gold medal head coach.

Although he is extremely reluctant to see the team he coaches enter a penalty shootout.

But he had imagined the worst outcome in advance.

Among them is the scene he is least willing to face.

This is the value of a head coach who is called a "gold medal coach".

After Xiao Chenhui.

The order of appearance listed by Lippi is Yu Hai, Hao Junmin, Wu Lei and Zheng Zhi.

If the first round of penalty kicks cannot decide the winner.

Lippi also has a second lineup.

But he doesn't want to use the second lineup.

Because in a brutal penalty shootout, that's just too grueling.

Somewhere seems to have been doomed.

This game is destined to be a duel between Xiao Chenhui and Cahill.

Australia's first appearance is the captain Tim Cahill.

When all players on both sides retreat to the midfield line.

When standing shoulder to shoulder and holding hands.

Cahill stepped onto the field.

He first turned his head and took a deep look at Xiao Chenhui on the Dragon Team's side.

Then he looked at Yan Junling standing in front of the goal.

He glanced erratically at the lower right corner of the goal.

Then he quickly looked away.

It seemed that he was afraid that Yan Junling would see through the direction he wanted to shoot.

But how could Yan Junling not see such an obvious change in his eyes?

Yan Junling, who was standing on the goal line, subconsciously shifted the center of gravity of his body to the direction Cahill had glanced at.

"Beep!"

The penalty kick whistle sounded.

The referee opened the prelude to this brutal life-and-death battle with a whistle.

Cahill took a deep breath.

took a few steps back.

Then stride forward.

He swung his right leg and slammed the football hard.

"boom!"

The football hit by the force flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
Eyes deceive!

what bottom right corner?

Cahill never thought of kicking this penalty to the lower right corner!

Yan Junling flinched.

It was thrown heavily on the other side in front of the goal.

Helpless to pay for his youth.

Seeing Cahill's penalty kick easily caught.

Annoyed, he smashed the lawn hard.

Then he got up and retreated to the side of the goal.

Because the same goal was used in the penalty shootout.

Australia's goalkeeper Matthew Ryan is coming on.

Yan Junling had to make room for him.

Xiao Chenhui did not hesitate.

Strides to the penalty spot.

He looked at Matthew Ryan with sharp eyes.

It was like sending out a deadly death talisman.

Matthew Ryan felt a chill in his heart when Xiao Chenhui looked at him.

In this game, he was pierced twice by Xiao Chenhui.

It is impossible to say that there is no psychological shadow.

But the penalty shootout is either you die or I die.

Matthew Ryan could only grit his teeth secretly.

Made preparations to save a penalty kick.

"Beep!"

"Shh!"

The referee's whistle sounded for only a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, there was the beautiful sound of the football rubbing against the net.

Xiao Chenhui was under tremendous pressure.

With a powerful volley similar to a explosive stick, the ball was sent into the upper left corner of the goal.

It is almost the same as the way and angle of Cahill's goal just now.

But the power and speed of free throws are even more exciting than Cahill's free throws!

His explosive kick ignited all the enthusiasm of the Dragon Kingdom fans.

It also brought infinite confidence to the members of the Dragon Team who will appear later!
That's what the captain does!

The role of the star!
No matter when and where, he can always inspire his teammates to move forward!
After a brief cheer.

The second round of penalty kicks began.

Yu Hai and Matthew Leckie both made penalty kicks in the second round.

They couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief after successfully making the penalty.

Using roars to vent the tremendous pressure in his heart.

Then they returned to their positions in midfield.

He and his teammates continued to stand shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand and wait for the next round of penalty shootout.

Penalty shootout in the third round.

It was completed by Robbie Crews of the Australian team and Hao Junmin of the Dragon team.

In order of appearance.

The first free throw was Robbie Crews.

He stood in front of the penalty spot and made it in one fell swoop.

He pierced through Yan Junling's ten fingers with a low and flat shot.

Steadily won the advantage for the Australian team again!
After Robbie Crews exits.

Hao Junmin walked near the penalty spot.

He is 28 years old.

Not surprisingly.

This is his last Asian Cup campaign.

Four years later.

He will be a 32-year-old veteran.

With the rise of the Dragons boys, it will be difficult for him to occupy another main position.

After all, how many people like Zheng Zhi can still maintain a high level of competition at the age of 35?

So Hao Junmin does not want to miss this opportunity to win the Asian Cup.

He wants to score this crucial penalty!

But it may be the huge psychological pressure and the extreme desire for the Asian Cup championship.

Or maybe after 120 minutes of hard work, the physical fitness has declined to the point where it is about to be exhausted.

As a result, Hao Junmin's technical movements were slightly deformed when he made a free throw.

In the end, he failed to score the penalty kick.

Instead, he kicked the ball hard into the post.

The football flew off the end line, scraping the edge of the goal post.

Watching the football pass by with the goal.

Endless pain and remorse appeared in Hao Junmin's eyes.

He reached out and lifted the jersey to cover his face.

I have been unwilling to face the reality in front of me for a long time.

Until the referee stepped forward to urge.

He slowly walked back to the queue.

Xiao Chenhui was the first to reach out and pat Hao Junmin on the shoulder.

"Third brother, don't mourn! You have tried your best. Listen, the compatriots at the scene are still cheering for you."

Hao Junmin put down the jersey covering his face.

He looked up at the red sea.

really.

Not a single fan criticized Hao Junmin for missing a penalty kick.

On the contrary, he still tried his best to encourage the boys of the Dragon Team.

The Dragons can get this far.

Everyone has given too much.

The fans are watching.

Therefore, what the Dragon Team deserves is applause and encouragement.

rather than critical voices.

The fourth round of penalty kicks.

Australia's centre-back Trent Sainsbury took the lead.

Facing Yan Junling, who had lost three goals in a row before.

Sainsbury may be a little contemptuous of the young Longguo goalkeeper in front of him.

Coming up is a burst shot!
It's a pity that the angle of the ball is a little bit positive.

And it is the goalkeeper's favorite half-high ball.

The young Yan Junling swooped sideways.

Struggling to block the ball out of the goal!

Yan Junling, who made a successful save, swept away the previous decline.

Stand up and raise your arms and shout.

Throw all the depression in my heart to the sky.

The penalty shootout is undoubtedly the cruelest for young goalkeepers.

But once a successful save was made in the penalty shootout.

It is of great benefit to the growth of young goalkeepers.

For example Yan Junling.

His rebirth was quietly completed at this moment.

Then Wu Lei, who came on the field, completed the goal with a wonderful scoop penalty kick.

It is as entertaining as Xiao Chenhui's first penalty kick!
The big score of the two sides came to 6:6.

The game has entered the final critical node!

Penalty shootout fifth round.

Tommy Orr, who was brought on by the head coach before overtime, made an appearance.

He calmly approached, kicked, and completed the shot.

The football slipped through Yan Junling's armpit cunningly.

Sticking to the lawn, he got into the dead corner of the goal.

Australia takes the lead again!
Veteran Zheng Zhi made his fifth appearance on behalf of the Dragons.

There is a general's wind in every movement of his.

Steadily sent the penalty kick into Australia's goal.

Recovered the score for the Nth time for the Dragon Team!

The "Silver Fox" Lippi on the sidelines was going crazy.

In view of the Italian national team's ability to take penalty kicks and the sadness of repeatedly falling in front of twelve yards.

The last thing he wants to face is a penalty shootout.

The most unwilling thing to face is the second round of the penalty shootout!

But who would have thought that he would be coached by a different national team.

Still unable to escape such a cruel fate?

But no longer want to face it.

There is no escape.

Lippi quickly arranged the five players who took penalty kicks in the second round.

The sixth round of the penalty shootout became a stage for the goalkeepers of both sides to perform.

First, Yan Junling fought hard to save Jason Davidson's shot.

Immediately afterwards, Matthew Ryan fought back.

Deny Wei Shihao's penalty kick!
In front of the experienced Matthew Ryan, the young Wei Shihao is still too immature.

Penalty shootouts became more and more brutal.

The shouts and singing of the fans on both sides have long been silent.

The audience was completely silent.

Everyone clenched their fists nervously.

Hold your breath and focus on the square inch between the goal and the twelve yards.

Seventh round.

Made both free throws.

Eighth round.

Made both free throws.

……

Seeing the tenth round penalty shootout is coming.

The two sides still failed to tell the winner!

The head coaches of both teams risked heart attacks.

Anxiously arranged for their respective players to continue playing.

Nine consecutive rounds of penalty shoot-outs in the international arena.

Such a scene is not easy to see.

But God seems to be deliberately playing a joke on both teams.

Set a unique script for this game.

The Australian player who played tenth played a strong volley.

Yan Junling made a wonderful save in the air.

Changed the trajectory of the football flight with double fists in mid-air.

Knock the football into the air.

Perhaps fate is on Australia's side this time.

There happened to be a breeze blowing.

The football, which had already deviated from the track, took a slight turn in the air.

Unexpectedly, it hit the junction of the post and the crossbar, and then bounced into the goal.

The goal is valid!

By a stroke of uncanny luck, Australia took the lead.

The tenth player representing the Dragon Team is the teenager Xu Xin.

In the face of great pressure.

Xu Xin was sweating nervously.

As a fledgling, he failed to score this crucial penalty in the end.

The kicked ball brushed against the crossbar and went slightly higher than the goal!
The Dragon Team tragically fell in this penalty shootout.

Such a result was obviously not expected by anyone.

But it's not the same as before.

Even if the Dragon Team won only the runner-up in the end.

Even if the fans must have deep regrets in their hearts.

But they still gave unprecedented warm applause to the Dragon Team.

Long lasting!
