Chapter 618 Make History!Reach the finals!
Iniesta looks nervous, he puts the football in place, feels dissatisfied, picks it up, puts it down again, repeats it three times, Iniesta puts the football on the penalty spot for the third time, dawdles to put the football in place Afterwards, he looked up at the goal, only to find James staring at him, his eyes wide open.This surprised Iniesta.

James opened his arms, trying to expand the defensive area.This brought a lot of psychological pressure to Iniesta.

The referee Brickley's whistle sounded.

Iniesta started to run up and kicked. He chose to shoot to the upper left corner of the goal. James judged the right direction this time. However, Iniesta's shooting angle was too tricky and he failed to touch the football.

Just as the Spanish fans were about to jump up and cheer, they saw that although the football successfully bypassed James' thumping hand, it did not enter the net, but hit the post with a muffled 'bang'!

***********
"No Goal!! No Goal!! Haha! God Bless England!! Iniesta was too angled! The football hit the post! The goal was not in the goal!! England got their chance again!! Now, as long as we can Kick the next goal and the score will be 4:4! Everything will go back to the starting point! Who will take the third goal? God bless him!" Lineker jumped up shouted.

Although he is a commentator, Lineker does not know who the third penalty shooter in England is. No one knows except the referee and the coaches of both sides.

Penalty kick: Spain 2:1 England, total score: Spain 4:3 England.

***********
England's third penalty was Walcott.

"It's our little tiger, he's the third free thrower." Seeing Walcott walk towards the penalty spot, Lineker was a little surprised. This ball is very important for England and cannot be missed. But in Lineker's view, Walcott is still too young, can he withstand the current pressure?

Walcott seriously put the football on the penalty spot, waiting for the referee Brickley's whistle.

"Walcott must be under a lot of pressure now. If he doesn't make a penalty kick, it will be dangerous." Lineker said worriedly, "Pray for our little tiger."

***********
However, Walcott still used his performance to prove that young people can also withstand the pressure at critical moments.

The referee Brickley's whistle sounded, and Walcott ran up. He first took two quick steps, then slowed down for the last step, and shot with his foot. Casillas was confused by the frequency of Walcott's steps, although The judgment was right on the direction of Walcott's shot, but the reaction was half a beat slow, and he could not stop the football from entering the net.

The ball is in! !

***********
"Aww——" Seeing that Walcott withstood the pressure and kicked the football in, the England fans at the Ernst Hapoel Stadium erupted into a burst of cheers. Just now Iniesta took the penalty Hit the post, which gave England a chance to redeem themselves, and now, they seized the opportunity!
The shots were given to Walcott who scored a penalty kick, and Casillas who failed to save a penalty kick. For this ball, he suppressed the tension and disappointment in his heart. As he walked away from the goal, he patted his gloves vigorously to cheer for himself.

Penalty shootout third round ends:
Penalty kick: England 2:2 Spain; total score: England 4:4 Spain;
***********
Spain's fourth penalty kick is Guisa.

It should be said that Guiza, who came off the bench, has the best physical strength among the five penalty shooters, and as a shooter, his footwork is also nothing to say, and what makes Aragones value is that Guiza Sa's psychological quality has always been good. He is Mallorca's chief penalty shooter. In the past La Liga, he stood in front of 12 yards six times and made all of them. That's why Aragones sent Guiza. It's for penalty kicks.

However, Aragones overlooked one point. Guiza's penalty record is good, and his mental quality looks good. However, don't forget that Guiza's previous penalty kick record was created in the league. Now it is the semi-finals of the European Cup, and Spain may reach the final to create history. This kind of pressure is something that Guiza cannot experience in the league. This kind of big scene is also the first time Guiza has experienced .

Guisa stood at the penalty spot, and the camera followed him, and he could see the dense beads of sweat on his forehead. I don't know if it was nervous or hot.

The Ernst Happle Stadium fell into silence, and everyone was waiting for the referee Brickley's whistle.

Guiza was waiting, and so was James.

***********
Li Rui felt his heart beating faster. Although it was not his turn to take the penalty kick, just watching his teammates walking towards the penalty spot one by one from behind was enough to make him nervous. This feeling; and walking Going to the execution ground seems to be the same.

In other words, it is more cruel than going to the execution ground. After all, when you go to the execution ground, you know you will die, but standing on the penalty spot, you are wandering between heaven and hell. torture! !
Li Rui heard coach Brickley whistle, his pupils constricted, and he stared at Guisa's back.

***********
Guiza ran up and shot, and he shot to the bottom left corner of the goal.

I saw James throwing his body to the right - that was the direction of Guisa's shot. He almost touched the football with his fingers stretched out. James felt his fingertips go numb, and then he fell to the ground and watched. After being thrown by myself, the football continued to roll, and then hit the post, rolled outward, and missed the post...

"Long live! Long live! Long live! Great save! I want to praise James, great! Great! Praise him!!" Lineker punched hard and roared loudly.

At this moment, Li Rui is doing the same action, and many people are also doing this action!

***********
Guiza watched his shot being saved by James. At that time, his feet were soft and he knelt directly on the ground. He only felt his head was bewildered, so he knelt there until Puyol came up and pulled him. Get up, hug him while comforting him, and walk to the sidelines.

However, for Guisa, any comfort at this moment is so weak.

Aragones on the sidelines closed his eyes in pain. He also realized that he had made a mistake. Mallorca striker Guiza had never experienced such a major scene. Faced with such pressure, he still could not hold on. Live, he regrets a little now, why he didn't send captain Puyol to take this penalty.Because Puyol struggled to leg cramps during the game, Aragones excluded Puyol from the penalty shooter. Now it seems that this is a major mistake.

Penalty: Spain 2:2 England; total score: Spain 4:4 England.

***********
Next, England's fourth appearance was Irving.

Seeing Owen standing at the penalty spot, many England fans were a little dazed. In the summer of ten years ago, the chasing boy became famous in the World Cup in France. Ten years have passed, and the former golden boy is also getting old. , but Irving and the England team have never won any honors...

Casillas stood in front of the goal, staring at Irving. He still knew about this former Real Madrid teammate. However, Casillas did not know the characteristics of Irving's penalty. The position in Real Madrid is not secure.

Owen took the football and wrapped it in his jersey habitually, wiped it, and then kissed it heavily, then put the football on the white spot with great care, and started to take a few steps back, turning his head to look at the host. The referee, Brickley, means that he is ready.

***********
"Michael (Owen) stood on the penalty spot. If the ball is scored, England will lead Spain and win the match point! Is Michael nervous now? Are you nervous? I am nervous!!"

There was vicissitudes in Lineker's voice. You must know that the England team has never reached the final of the European Cup. At this moment, facing the moment of making history, no one can calm down.

The referee Brickley's whistle sounded, and Owen's run-up was very fast, just like his old nickname of "Chasing the Wind Boy". Owen shot to the upper right corner of the goal. Although Casillas judged the right direction, Owen's The shot was quick and he couldn't stop the ball from going into the net—

The ball is in! !

The England players in a circle broke out into huge cheers, which quickly merged into the huge cheers of the England fans at the scene.

The 4th round of the penalty shootout ended, England striker Michael Owen made a penalty kick, and the penalty kick of the Spanish player Guiza who took the penalty before was saved——

This round of penalty shootout is over, penalty kick: England 3:2 Spain; the total score is England 5:4 Spain!
The balance of victory tilted slightly towards England...

***********
"After the fourth round of the penalty shoot-out, Spain fell behind England 4-2. This is really a terrible result for them. After Rooney missed a penalty, the goddess of victory once raised her skirt against Spain. However, Then Iniesta and Guiza both missed penalties and now the balance of victory is tilted towards England..."

"In this case, the pressure on the players who take the penalty in the last round will be quite high, especially the Spanish player who made the penalty first, because if Spain misses the penalty, England's fifth penalty shooter does not need to come up to take the penalty, and Spain will be eliminated. ...Of course, if the Spanish penalty shooter can score the penalty, then the pressure will be on the England penalty shooter, because he only needs to score the penalty kick, and England can reach the final!"

Torres walked towards the penalty spot with the football in his arms.

"Spain took the penalty first. We saw that it was Torres who took the penalty. Now, Torres must be under great pressure. Can he withstand this pressure?"

***********
Torres' expression was very serious. After he placed the football, he looked up at the night sky in Vienna, looking at the stars, and then looked down at the football not far away.

The referee signaled Torres with his eyes, is it time to play?

Torres took a deep breath and nodded.

With the referee Brickley's whistle, Torres ran up, one step, two steps, three steps - shot!
James saw that Torres seemed to be volleying the upper left corner of the goal, and he immediately rushed to the right. However, he was fooled. Torres was a fake move, and he directly pushed the center with the arch of his foot.

***********
Although James has realized that he has been fooled, there is nothing he can do. He can only watch the football hit the net behind him!

"Fernando-Torres!! Go in! He scored a penalty kick!! Spain still has a chance! May God bless us!" The Spanish commentator shouted excitedly, "Now, it's up to Iker Casillas! Come on!! 'Saint Cassie'!! You can do it!!"

Under the tremendous pressure, Torres, who scored the goal, was relieved after scoring the penalty kick, and roared like venting.Now, Spain has finished 5 rounds of penalty kicks, and now the initiative is no longer in their hands. As long as England can score a penalty kick, then England will eliminate Spain and enter the final. Of course, if England misses a penalty kick In the case of a penalty kick, the two sides will stand on the same starting line again, and the penalty shootout will continue.

In the fifth round of the penalty shootout, Spain took the penalty first, and Torres took the penalty kick——

Penalty: Spain 3:3 England; total score: Spain 5:5 England.

***********
Spain erupted in cheers as Torres withstood the pressure and scored the penalty, keeping hope alive for Spain, and now all the Spanish fans put their hopes in their 'Saint Casillas' Iker Casillas If Iker Casillas catches the next penalty, Spain will draw with England on aggregate. The two sides are on the same starting line again, and penalty kicks will be added...

The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly suppressed to the extreme, and the commentators in the commentary booth were also infected by this atmosphere.

"Now, it's the most critical moment! Ah——Li Rui! As expected, it's Li Rui. He is the fifth player in the England team to take a penalty kick! Now, he only needs to score the penalty kick. England He will be able to eliminate Spain and enter the finals. He has such a lot of pressure on him now, and everyone is watching him... But, can he bear this pressure?"

***********
Li Rui walked slowly towards the penalty spot. He walked very slowly, and he couldn't understand this feeling without being there. Although he is not from England, the creation history of the English has little to do with him, but , This is the final of the European Cup, this is a huge football stage, this atmosphere is enough to suffocate anyone.

Li Rui picked up the football at the penalty spot, then wrapped the football in his jersey, wiped it vigorously, first kissed the football, maybe because he was too nervous, the football slipped from his hands, Li Rui put the football again Picked it up, held it in my arms, and walked to the penalty spot.

Taking a deep breath, he bent down and put the football on the white spot. He placed it carefully until he was satisfied, then stood up straight, stepped back slowly, and fixed his eyes on the ball behind Casillas. goal.

"Is it okay?" The referee Brickley asked Li Rui.

Li Rui nodded to the referee, meaning that it is time to play football.

***********
The entire stadium fell silent.

Everyone's breathing stopped, and all sounds died out.Li Rui felt that he couldn't hear anything in his ears. He only had football in his eyes, and only the goal!

Make history?

bring it on! ! !

bring it on! !
Li Rui felt that his blood was about to burst from his veins at this moment... He forced himself to calm down! ! !

Because of tension, the whole body was tense, waiting for the whistle to sound! !
"beep!"

***********
Li Rui took a deep breath, and then started to run——

step……

two steps...

Three steps...

Lift your foot - shoot! !

The moment Li Rui kicked, Casillas rushed to his right and the left of the goal without hesitation!He is betting, and when the goalkeeper saves a penalty kick, a large part of it is also gambling!Bet on your luck, bet on your own judgment!
***********
However, this time, Casillas bet wrong!In other words, he almost won the bet.

The direction in which Casillas threw the ball was the direction in which Li Rui shot. He even felt that he was about to catch the football! !

In fact, looking from the stands, almost everyone thought Casillas had caught it, and the Spanish fans began to cheer.

but--

The football slid past Casillas's hand, and Casillas could even feel the force of the football slipping past his hand...

"GOOOOOAL!! GOOOOOAL!! GOOOOOOOOOAL!!! The goal is scored!! The goal is scored!!! 6:5! 6:5!!! Li Rui! He resisted the pressure and scored a penalty kick! He entered the final of the European Cup It’s England!! They made history! This is the first time in history that England reached the final of the European Cup! Their performance surprised everyone! And Li Rui is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to England’s entry into the final! His performance is too good Great! Look, England fans are crazy!"

Li Rui, who scored the goal, stood on the spot and saw the trembling net. He was stunned for more than ten seconds before he realized it. He turned his head and rushed towards the corner flag area, and then swooped down on the grass. More people were crushed under him.

The entire Ernst Happle Stadium seemed to be shaking!
