ball at foot

The game quickly ended after 120 minutes of fighting, and the two sides also officially entered a penalty shootout.

After 120 minutes, the score was still 2-2. Now it is time for a penalty shootout.

"The performance of the Chinese team in penalty shootouts has never been very good. There have been [-] penalty shootouts in the history of the Chinese team, with three wins and twelve losses..."

"Come here, we have to listen to the arrangement." Zhao Yaning pulled his teammates over.Although he still regrets such a result in his heart, he also knows that when taking a penalty kick, what the Chinese team needs is peace of mind, and at this time, they can't expect more.After all, the opponent is still stronger than the Chinese team, and this result is not bad.

At this time, the head coach has also listed the enemy Cavaliers on the penalty kick list. [

Zheng Zhi was first, Qu Bo was second, Shao Jiayi was third, Zhao Yaning was fourth, and Gao Lin was fifth.

"We try not to get dragged into the sixth," the coach said.

The players nodded to show they understood.After all, most of the defenders of the Chinese national team are not very good at taking penalty kicks. Those who like to take penalty kicks all over the country like the Germans are, after all, a minority.The more rounds the game drags on, the more unpredictable the outcome will be for the Chinese team.

"I'm the fourth..." Zhao Yaning still felt a little strange.

Generally speaking, during the penalty shootout, the number one star will be placed in the fifth position.After all, in the fifth round, it is almost possible to decide the outcome with one goal.The better the player who takes the penalty kick, the more effective it will be for the team if he kicks the penalty kick at this time.

And even if it is the ball that determines the outcome, after all, the further back, the greater the pressure on the free throw player.And the greater the pressure, the harder it is to kick a penalty kick. Keeping good players behind is also to be more secure.

Zhao Yaning originally thought that he would definitely appear in the fifth position, but at this time, he was placed in the fourth position, which made him a little strange.

Alihan glanced at him, but said nothing.After all, some words should not be said at this time.

The reason why he didn't put Zhao Yaning in the fifth place was actually only one important reason: he was worried that the Chinese team would not be able to stick to the fifth place at all.

But such frustrating words can't be said now.

"Now the two sides have entered the link of penalty kicks. The referee flipped a coin, the Ukrainian team took the first penalty, and the Chinese team took the second penalty. What is surprising is that Blokhin has now walked into the locker room. I don't know if he has a plan in mind. Still can't bear to look straight."

Zhao Yaning also saw Blokhin, and he cast a consulting look at Shevchenko.Shevchenko shrugged. "Our coach has a heart attack and bypass surgery. He can't watch free throws."

This answer surprised Zhao Yaning.Such a person, why should he be a coach?But think about it, Blokhin is a star of the former Soviet Union after all, his position in this position is more of a symbolic meaning.But now, he hid in the locker room, which is really embarrassing: If the coach doesn't even dare to watch a penalty kick, what risk can he take?Retreating at this time will deal a great blow to the team's confidence.

This kind of thing still made Zhao Yaning a little excited, "Did you see it, brothers! Their coaches are already counseled! They are all counseled. If we can't take it down again, what will we become? We beat them!"

His words made Liu Yufei smile wryly. Of course it was a good thing that the opponent's head coach was scared like this, but Liu Yufei was not at all relaxed.

"Da Liu, remember my words: penalty shootout is a gamble. If we win the bet, we win. If we lose the bet, we are finished. You go to gamble, if you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine. Don't think too much, you've done your best."

Zhao Yaning's words made Liu Yufei smile, but he still couldn't say anything.How can it be possible to say that you are not nervous?

At this time, Rotan was already on the penalty spot.He didn't have too much preparation, he kicked up directly, took a shot, and kicked the ball into the goal!

Liu Yufei didn't even make a save, just made a symbolic move, and watched the football fly into the gate. [

Sure enough, he was really nervous.

On the side of the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi also took the penalty kick.Shufkovsky stood in front of the door.

Run up, set up, shoot!

Zheng Zhi's shooting angle is very good, and Shufkovsky judged the right direction.However, he failed to keep the gate.Zheng Zhi's shot scored the goal, and the Chinese team also scored a star Yao Bernabeu.

"The Chinese team caught up 3-3!"

The second free throw was Timo Schuk.

At this time, Liu Yufei had calmed down a little.However, even so, Zhao Yaning was still nervous: After all, penalty kicks are no better than playing games, and it has too much luck.

Timo Struck kicked a penalty kick, this time Liu Yufei still judged the wrong direction, but Timo Struck's shot still missed the goal!

"Ukraine missed a penalty!"

This free throw also made all the Chinese fans cheer. Although this is the opponent's own stupidity, it is not easy to make the opponent miss a penalty.

"Obviously, the opponent's players were disturbed by Zhao Yaning's goal at the last moment, and the penalty kick was not as good as it should be. After such a shot, the Chinese team has the advantage. Now, the Chinese team may win. Already!"

At this time, Qu Bo also stood on the penalty spot.

Stand back, get ready, shoot!

The speed of the ball kicked by Qu Bo is obviously much faster. Zhao Yaning has heard that in Ligue [-], he is also the club’s first penalty shooter. It's been a long time since the penalty kick.This time, he obviously did not disappoint.When Shuvkovsky fell down, he was already a step behind.The ball hit the goal post, and after a soft bang, it went into the goal!

"The Chinese team leads 4-3! The Chinese team scored an extra penalty kick!"

At this time, the Ukrainian players looked gloomy.

Voronin was the third to stand on the penalty spot, and he urged a few times.Obviously, at this time, the pressure has returned to the Ukrainian team.

Penalty kicks are already quite unreliable.Even world-class goalkeepers rarely perform well in penalty shootouts.Even, in some competitions, when there was a penalty shootout, the goalkeepers of both sides were world-class, but they did not judge correctly even once.At this point in the game, it is no longer a question of strength, but a question of luck.And the less confident the party is, the more prone to problems at this time.

Zhao Yaning's weird goal, Blokhin's exit, and a penalty missed, Ukraine is already impatient.

The Chinese team is indeed a little unconfident, but in comparison, the Ukrainians are even more unconfident.Zhao Yaning’s corner goal at the last moment was completely like God’s will, and Blokhin’s departure made things worse. Their pressure was not less than that of the Chinese.

But obviously, there was nothing wrong with Voronin's penalty kick. He took two steps slowly and kicked the ball out with one kick!

Liu Yufei fell to the left, which direction he judged.But obviously he was wrong.Vononin kicked a penalty kick with a spoon, and the ball flew directly from the middle and fell into the goal! [

"Spoon penalty kick! The Chinese team is now 4-4! Let's see how the Chinese team's penalty kick is!"

At this time, Shao Jiayi also consciously walked to the penalty spot.

At this time, what he thought of was that he missed a penalty kick in the Asian Cup a few years ago, which caused a lot of trouble.Although he still won the game, he was not less scolded when he returned to China afterwards.

This time is almost the same as that time again.It's just that this time, he won't have any problems easily.

Whether it is due to the pressure of public opinion, or because after seeing Zhao Yaning’s strength, he has a glimmer of hope and rush in his heart. In the past few years in Germany, he has played harder and harder.As for the technique of penalty kicks, he has been practicing for a long time. After all, he knows very well that Zhao Yaning may never allow it again, and he has the problem of not scoring penalty kicks.Even if he allowed it, the domestic media, coaches, and the Football Association would not allow it.

Zhao Yaning is willing to take responsibility for them, and they also have to share the work for Zhao Yaning.Sometimes, Shao Jiayi would also think, if there is really no Zhao Yaning, then what would he play like?Without that person forcing me to practice physical strength and skills, without that ball master leading everyone forward in the national team, would I really have such a great effort?

No one knows what didn't happen.

Shao Jiayi took two steps back, looked at the gate, then ran and shot!

The goalkeeper judged the right direction and rushed to the left, but Shao Jiayi's shot still went into the goal quickly.

The scoreboard became Ukraine 4-5 and the Chinese team, and Shao Jiayi also stepped down from the penalty spot.

"After three rounds of penalty kicks, the Chinese team is now leading Ukraine 4-3, but in the next round, the shooters of both sides are Shevchenko and Zhao Yaning. These are the two best players on both sides. I don't think there will be any problems. The Ukrainian team still has theoretical hope of a comeback, but Liu Yufei's mood is much better now, he is very stable now, but he has also met Shevchenko, the most difficult player to defend. Let's see, can he Can't do miracles, defend the ball."

After three consecutive misjudgments, Liu Yufei was also extremely nervous, unable to catch others, let alone Shevchenko?

Shevchenko's penalty ability is very good, no one doubts this.At this moment, he stands on the penalty spot and is still the biggest threat to the Chinese team.

Liu Yufei's expression was also extremely nervous. How could he not be nervous when facing this world-renowned shooter?

Shevchenko took a step back, his eyes glanced slightly to the left, and then, a penalty kick was shot!

He obviously wanted to rely on the direction of his eyes to attract Liu Yufei to jump to the right.But the problem is that Liu Yufei was so nervous just now that he didn't see his eyes at all. Now, he habitually threw himself to the left.This crooked judgment, but it has achieved results, the football hit him, and he got up all of a sudden.

"Shevchenko's shot was saved, and Shevchenko missed the goal! The Chinese team's hope of winning has greatly increased!"

It is unbelievable that Zhao Yaning also had such an idea at this time.

It's an incredible thing.The Chinese team scored three goals in a row, but Shevchenko missed a penalty. At this time, the score is already 4-5, and now, it is his turn to make a free throw. If he scores , Then, the Chinese team also defeated Ukraine.

Such a result was too unexpected.

Zhao Yaning is now on the penalty spot. At this time, the Chinese team is already leading 5-3. If he scores this penalty again, then the Chinese team will directly advance to the quarter-finals. Zhao Yaning is now carrying the burden of the whole country. Hopefully, this will definitely be the most important penalty in his life."

At this time, when Zhao Yaning stood on the penalty spot, many things flashed through his mind.

My own efforts still paid off.Helping Liu Yufei take responsibility himself made him dare to gamble.He helped Qu Bo go abroad by himself, and he also helped himself.This kind of progress was made by forcing Shao Jiayi to hone his skills.I sharpened them out and brought them here, and now, their tasks are over, now, it's up to me to decide the outcome.

I have come this far, not to lose.

Lifting his foot and shooting at the goal, Zhao Yaning didn't play any tricks, but simply shot directly at the dead corner in the lower right corner.He kicked the ball so fast that the goalkeeper couldn't catch the ball at all. This time, the number on the scoreboard became 6-4

"The Chinese team won the game! The Chinese team won the game! Zhao Yaning scored a penalty! The Chinese team advanced to the quarterfinals, and they eliminated the Ukrainians!"
