Chapter 147 Penalty Shootout
Vincent and Schalke 04's head coach Stevenson are both sitting on Mount Tai, at least until 75 minutes, they are still in the same action.

In the next minute, Stevenson finally couldn't sit still. He used the first substitution, replacing Latal and Thomas Dooley.This is a match-up substitution. Latal ran a lot of distance today, and he has already shown signs of physical decline. In order to maintain sufficient running on the field, Stevenson can only resort to substitutions.

Immediately afterwards, Schalke 04 veteran Andres Müller also began to decline in physical fitness, so Stevenson had to make another substitution, replacing Buskens.

In the 85th minute, Stevenson made another shot, replacing Martin Marx and David Wagner, who was in the same position.

All three of Stevenson's substitutions were matchup substitutions. The team's overall tactics have not changed, but some players who can't run have been replaced to continue to maintain vitality on the court.

Fan Shang has not moved until now. Today he adopts zone defense. Except for giving Nedved and Makelele the task of running more and paying attention to filling positions, the others are basically guarding their respective positions. , which saves a lot of physical energy compared with Schalke 04, which is why Vincent has not changed players until now.

"Schalke 04's three substitutions did not have any effect at all. It just continued the process of the game and allowed this rhythm to continue." Platini said, "Bordeau hasn't made substitutions yet, I don't know What does their manager think, he's confident in the fitness of the players."

When it came to 2 minutes of stoppage time, Vincent finally made the first adjustment, replacing Drogba with Papin.

"Bordeaux has finally made a substitution. I feel that there is some suspicion of delaying time, but I think this substitution is open to discussion." Platini did not understand Vincent's arrangement very well today. "Looking at the whole game, Didier Drogba The role of Mulder is still quite prominent. His Mulder is the first fulcrum of the counterattack, and the probability of grabbing the ball is also very high. If he can continue to play, he may be able to play a role in the penalty area in overtime. The effect of the stick. I personally think that Papin will not play a greater role than Drogba in this game."

If Fan Shang heard it, he would smile and tell him, look down, Papan's role is not here.

When he was off the court, Fan Shang hugged him heavily. Although he was not showing off, his supplementary defense and assistance defense killed many opportunities for Schalke 04.Replacing him is because he can't run anymore, and it's for the final purpose.

The two teams continued to be anxious on the field, and the rhythm was even slower at this time. If you are not a die-hard fan, you will definitely fall asleep.

In the 13th minute of overtime, Vincent made another substitution, this time Sagnol replaced Gallas.This is actually for Fan Shang's final goal.

"The following is Bordeaux's No.2 player. The previous Schalke 04 players did not score. This is a good opportunity for Bordeaux. If they score, they will take the lead in the penalty shootout. It is Nedved, He is also a Czech international, let’s see what will happen to him. Run up, shoot, unfortunately, Lehmann’s direction is judged correctly again, and he can meet a strong shot again. Bordeaux leads 2:1.”

"The penalty shootout is about to start. The first penalty is Schalke 04. Their player is captain Olaf Torn. Let's see how the Schalke 04 defense Dinghaishenzhen's free throw is? "Charles Biduo was finally a little excited at this time. Although the chat was quite high in a game, there were very few real football things. Now it is finally about the game." Chilavert is also a good penalty shooter, no Know if he can block Olaf Torn's shot."

"This time it's Schalke 04's turn again. Standing in front of the ball is the substitute striker Wagner. As a striker, his footwork is still guaranteed. Okay, push a bottom right corner and the ball is scored. Qila Witter was right this time, but the ground ball is still difficult to catch, and the ball had already rolled into the goal when he fell to the ground."

"Who will take the penalty kick for Bordeaux?" said Charles Bidor

"Olaf Torn ran, shot, the ball tricked Chilavert, and shot into the lower left corner of the goal. Now Schalke temporarily leads 041:0."

"The next player in Schalke 04 is the Czech Nemek. Nemec puts the ball well, runs up, and shoots. Hey, the shot is so right! Although Chilavert shifted his center of gravity, he still stretched out his hand to block the ball. , the score is still 1:1 now."

Fan Shang had ordered the team doctor to make preparations in the 80th minute, and also called several substitute players to join the coach. The two team doctors were too busy. They only relaxed for the top five players who took penalty kicks, and the rest relied on these substitutes and the coach. coached.Vincent also joined them. He was pinching Chilavert's shoulders and whispering something. He had been studying the characteristics of Schalke 04's penalty shooters a few days ago, and he was talking to Chilavert at this time.

"There are no players going this way, and Chilavert should be the one who made the first free throw," Platini finally interjected. "He didn't defend the first ball, let's see if he can make a free throw. ... Beautiful, a clean shot, Lehman although there is no error in judgment, but the ball is too fast, he didn't touch it. Now 1 :1 up"

The last time Vincent made adjustments was at the end of the game with 3 minutes remaining. Sanuno was replaced by Makelele. Today, his running is definitely the most in his career. Vincent Almost all the running of the team was handed over to him and Nedved.Nedved is extremely talented, with three kneecaps, he really survived by will.

"The game is finally over." Charles Bidor was amnesty at this time, "It is the penalty shootout that determines which team will advance. Let the players rest first, and then we will look at the free throw players sent by the two teams."

"The third free throw player in Bordeaux is Sanuno who just came off the bench for 3 minutes. Could it be that Vincent sent him on the field just to kick a penalty. The young player Sanuno set the ball up, shot, struck the ball, and went straight to the dead corner. Lehmann There is no response, Fan Shang’s substitution is worth it. Now 3:2 Bordeaux is still leading by one goal.”

"This goal is very critical. If Schalke 04 misses a penalty and Bordeaux scores a penalty, then the game will be over. Thomas Link walked over, with a long approach distance and a strong volley. No action was taken this time. Schalke 04 kept the hope of winning."

"The goal of Bordeaux is also very important. If they can enter the fifth round with a one-goal lead, the pressure on Schalke 04 will be great. Bordeaux took the goal from Andriy Shevchenko, also a young player , transferred from Ukraine this year, no one was optimistic at the beginning, but the continuous goals in the league and the UEFA Cup have proved himself, he is now the hottest striker star in Europe, it is said that AC Milan, Real Madrid and other giants are all Watching his performance. He also has a long run-up distance, a powerful shot, beautiful, powerful and angled, and the ball flies directly into the upper left corner of the goal."

"This goal is a fateful goal for Schalke 04. If they make the penalty, they still have a chance. If they don't score, they will only be eliminated. Let's take a look, the player who made the penalty is Wilmo Wilmots, this Belgian player should be the player with the best footwork in Schalke 04 now, let's see if he can withstand the pressure. Wilmots didn't run up, simply took two steps forward, shot, perfect , Wilmots' free throw was not strong but the angle was tricky. Although Chilavert had thrown himself out, he still didn't touch the ball. Now it's 4:4, it depends on the player who made the last free throw in Bordeaux."

"If he can score, Bordeaux will advance. If he doesn't score the penalty shootout continues. It was the penalty that decided the fate of Schalke 04 just now, and this will be the penalty that decides the fate of the game. Bordeaux penalty is Papan, this veteran was also brought in after Fan Shang."
