Chapter 41 A Penalty Kick Missed

"National Youth player Bai Xiaotian missed a penalty kick." With Liu Jianhong's calm announcement, fans all over the country saw the result.

For a moment, Bai Xiaotian's smile froze on his face.In his impression, a penalty kick is the easiest way to score.However, it was this ball that he thought could be blindfolded with his eyes closed, but he missed it vigorously.Looking at Han Song who clenched his fist and shouted at his teammates, Bai Xiaotian felt that everything was so unreal.

Four weeks ago, the fans who were still jubilant for a second changed their faces in an instant. All kinds of "silly B" and "fuck off" roared into their ears. Bai Xiaotian lowered his head and walked back silently.Xu Liang ran over and grabbed Bai Xiaotian's neck from the side, comforting his teammates.

"What is this kid thinking, can't he even kick penalty kicks?" Shen Xiangfu in front of the TV looked like he hated iron and steel. Bai Xiaotian's performance like this is impossible to be the main force in the team.

Suddenly, a ball seemed to fly over Bai Xiaotian's head, and Han Song directly kicked the ball forward.After the Mianyang team escaped, all the staff bombarded Liaoqing's goal like chicken blood.

Bai Xiaotian, who was standing on the center line, watched Xu Liang rush back to the back line, scrambling non-stop to make a clearance.

What's wrong with me?Didn't you just miss a penalty?I mentioned it a few days ago, why didn’t I feel the same way now?what does it feel likeUnwilling?Still depressed?

Just when Bai Xiaotian was thinking wildly, "Xiaotian!" Wang Xinxin shouted, pulling Bai Xiaotian back to reality.

Looking at the ball above his head, Bai Xiaotian turned his head and ran while watching, but before he was about to run to his position, he plunged into Fu Tao's arms and fell to the ground.And Meng Xianpeng, who was behind Fu Tao, easily caught the ball with his chest and stopped in front of his feet.

The fans immediately laughed when they saw Bai Xiaotian's sleepwalking appearance, but this time, it was ridicule, wantonly ridicule.

What's wrong with fans?I, Bai Xiaotian, have hard work without credit!So many goals were scored in the previous game, did they all feed the dogs?Bai Xiaotian was furious for a moment, and ran towards Meng Xianpeng.

Meng Xianpeng ignored Bai Xiaotian who was rushing forward, and when he was about to run in front of him, he directly passed the ball back and handed it to Yang Zheng behind him.But Bai Xiaotian didn't care about it, like a crazy bull, he followed the ball's track and chased it down.

Looking at the red-eyed Bai Xiaotian, Yang Zheng pulled the ball aside and handed it back to Meng Xianpeng.Bai Xiaotian swayed his arms and braked vigorously, then turned his head and rushed towards Meng Xianpeng again.

At this time, Bai Xiaotian only had the black and white leather ball that seemed to be sewn with patches in his eyes.When Bai Xiaotian came to Meng Xianpeng's side again, the cunning Mianyang full-back turned around lightly and protected the ball with his back to Bai Xiaotian.And Bai Xiaotian circled Meng Xianpeng's body to continue chasing the ball, but Meng Xianpeng turned around again, leaving Bai Xiaotian behind again.

Seeing Bai Xiaotian being played around like a dog, the audience in the stands smiled more and more presumptuously.

Wang Xinxin on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and joined in the fight.Meng Xianpeng had no choice but to hand the ball to the frontcourt to organize the offense.

However, Bai Xiaotian gritted his teeth and didn't stop there. For the first time, he ran back from the center line to the backcourt and actively participated in the defense.And at this time, he finally heard Zheng Zhi's roar after the tackle at close range. That's right, it was the sentence: "Damn, this is the ninth Zheng Zhihua! Can your striker be useful?"

In the end, the referee's whistle stopped Bai Xiaotian's clumsy performance.Xu Liang stepped forward and grabbed Bai Xiaotian, apparently to teach him a lesson, but privately he helped his teammate, because at such a short distance, he obviously saw Bai Xiaotian's trembling legs.

Xu Liang didn't say much, but asked in Bai Xiaotian's ear: "Do you know Maradona?"

Bai Xiaotian didn't make a sound, Xu Liang asked again, "Do you know Platini?"

Seeing Bai Xiaotian's silence, Xu Liang asked for the third time, "Do you know Van Basten?"

After hearing this sentence, Bai Xiaotian finally opened his mouth: "Do you know Baggio?"

Xu Liang froze for a moment, patted Bai Xiaotian on the shoulder, and walked back to the dressing room together.

In the locker room, everyone was lying on the chairs and panting.No one stood up to criticize Bai Xiaotian, because after all, the penalty was created by others.But Bai Xiaotian's poor performance after missing a penalty kick was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

Bai Xiaotian, who had never participated in defense before, messed up Liaoqing's defense line, and sometimes even played a 1+1<1 scene.Fortunately, Zheng Zhi and Zheng Zhihua's process was too smooth, otherwise Liao Qing would have been breached by the opponent.

With such a result, Li Zheng just said to him: "Give you 15 minutes to think about it. If you still play like this, you don't need to tell me, I will replace you." After hearing Li Zheng's words, Bai Xiaotian's body trembled a little, and then he fell asleep under the towel covering his face.

Fifteen minutes later, Bai Xiaotian appeared on the field again with his head raised.

In the 53rd minute, Mianyang striker Li Haifa received a lob header from Fu Tao and Jiang Bo blocked the ball out of the baseline with a big wave of his hand.The Liaoqing team quickly launched a counterattack after the corner kick in Mianyang failed. Bai Xiaotian pushed the joystick to control his body, desperately chasing Wang Xinxin's oblique long pass.Under the watchful eyes of the audience from all over the country, he caught up with the ball and kicked it with his heel directly, knocking the ball Zheng Hao back to Zhong Yi who was following behind.

".Bai Xiaotian seemed to have eyes behind him. He chased the ball from the baseline and gave it to his teammate with his back heel without waiting to turn around. It was a stroke of genius. Even the defender of Mianyang was taken aback by such a precise pass." Liu Jianhong praised the young man of the National Youth Team for the first time in front of the microphone.

After Zhong Yi received the ball, he took advantage of the situation and pulled the ball directly to the penalty area.Xu Liang, who was in the middle, stretched his head with his eyes closed, as if he was being tortured in the execution ground.However, Han Song took the first step and hit the ball with a single fist.

In the 66th minute, Liao Qing once again took advantage of Mianyang's attack to no avail, and handed the ball to Bai Xiaotian, who was at the front.Due to some small flaws in receiving the ball, Bai Xiaotian was double-teamed by two Mianyang defenders at the moment of adjustment.In desperation, Bai Xiaotian had no choice but to take the ball to the side, looking for an opportunity.

But Huang Yonggang and Meng Xianpeng kept close to Bai Xiaotian's side. Just as everyone was waiting for a sideline ball, Bai Xiaotian magically used the ball's bounce between his feet to throw Huang Yonggang out of the gap, and made a diagonal pass of more than 30 meters.

This ball also made Liu Jianhong's eyes shine, and the calm commentary language was mixed with a hint of surprise: "Good guy, Wang Xinxin on the other side didn't appear in the camera at all for such a long diagonal pass. If the cameraman hadn't moved the camera, I thought the ball was kicked out of bounds."

After Wang Xinxin received the ball, he dribbled the ball and made a breakthrough. After passing Yang Zheng, he directly hit the goal, but the ball rubbed against the post and flew out of bounds.

For a while, you came and went on the field, and the two teams stalemate.And because of Bai Xiaotian's beautiful diagonal pass, Li Zheng on the sidelines made up his mind to play his last card, replacing a central defender with Chen Xing, and continued to strengthen his attack.

However, no one expected that this fierce championship and runner-up battle would end in 0-0 in regular time and be dragged into overtime.

After resting on the sidelines for 10 minutes, the assistant coach's hands left Bai Xiaotian's trembling legs. Bai Xiaotian stood up vigorously and walked onto the field again.At this time, the audience on the field seemed to also think of the assists and goals brought by this young player to Liaoqing, coupled with Bai Xiaotian's performance in the second half, there was a sound of "Liaoqing, come on" and "Bai Xiaotian make another goal".

Qin Xue, who was sitting in the press box, also excitedly picked up the pen. This was the first time she saw Liaoqing play in overtime, and she was still looking forward to the designated person scoring a key goal.

Bai Xiaotian also seemed to have retested his confidence and became more proactive.

However, the situation on the court was not as expected by the audience.If the national football team comes to overtime, then you will find that one-third of the national football team is walking and two-thirds are defending.If it is the second half, you will find that half of the people are walking, and half of the people are watching them walk.

This is the case for the national football team, not to mention the small second.Whether it was Bai Xiaotian or Wang Xinxin, or Li Haifa and Liu Gang who were facing each other, they all put their arms around their waists, as if they were running.

After shouting for 90 minutes, the fans were tired of shouting. Liu Jianhong even reminded everyone that the sports news program will be postponed for 10 minutes before it can be shown.In this case, the only players who can run on the field are those players who were replaced in the second half.And these few people were either defending or on the way to defend, and they couldn't play a decent offense at all.

There was no stoppage time in overtime, and the little green man referee directly declared a brutal penalty shootout.

The Liaoqing players on the sidelines are replenishing water and encouraging each other.On the other side, Mianyang, under the leadership of head coach Shang Ruihua, whispered and made gestures.Zheng Zhi came behind Jiang Bo and gave his goalkeeper a good squeeze on the shoulder, and Jiang Bo also threw out the half bottle of mineral water in his hand, and he was bound to throw four or five out.

The referee blew his whistle, and after hugging his teammates one by one, Jiang Bo walked towards the goal.Looking at his bleak back, Qin Xue felt as though a strong man was gone forever.Li Haifa stood in front of the ball, rubbed the ground with his toes, and waited for the referee's whistle.

Ten seconds later, Li Haifa clapped his hands at the players behind him one by one, while Jiang Bo got up from the ground, looked at the ball in the lower right corner of the goal, and shook his head.

Zheng Zhi, as the captain, did his part to act as Liaoqing's first free throw shooter.Zheng Zhi used his Zheng Zhihua right leg to sweep the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal.Han Song, like Jiang Bo, jumped to the left.

After the first round of penalty kicks, Liaoqing and Mianyang drew 1-1. On the 26th, Racine, a foreign aid from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, stood in front of the penalty spot again and kicked in the same direction and easily entered the net.Although Jiang Bo judged the right direction this time, the speed of the ball was too fast, and he was beyond his reach.

After regaining some confidence in the second half, Bai Xiaotian realized that he was standing in front of the penalty spot again.At this time, Bai Xiaotian's eyes were fixed on the ball under his feet, and he turned a deaf ear to the noise around him.It seemed that the whole world was quiet for a moment, only the half black and half white ball in his eyes, and there was also a tall door frame.

Qin Xue tightly held the ballpoint pen in her hand, pinched her thumb until it deformed, and even muttered, "Xiao Tian, ​​you must withstand the pressure and enter!"

"On the 28th, Bai Xiaotian stood in front of the [-]-yard ball again. How will he perform this time? Will he break through himself or remain depressed? Let us wait and see." After the explanation, Liu Jianhong did not make a sound, watching Bai Xiaotian retreat step by step, stand still, take a deep breath, and run up.

It's just a penalty kick, and it doesn't take much energy.The smart Bai Xiaotian started from the run-up, and ignored any pressure to enter the live mode.Gently push the joystick to the lower left, press the accelerator button and the shooting button at the same time, when the shooting progress bar reaches half of the goal, let go of your hand immediately.

The moment he kicked the ball, Bai Xiaotian didn't even have a sense of touch, he gave himself to the system with all his heart, let the system control his body, and kicked the penalty kick.

The breeze blew, and the ball, without any rotation, stuck to the ground and hit Han Song's lower abdomen.Rather than saying that Han Song made a wonderful save, it is better to say that Bai Xiaotian accurately kicked the ball into the opponent's arms.

At this moment, Bai Xiaotian stood in front of the penalty spot, pinched his waist, and stared at the direction that Baggio had seen six years ago.
------Dividing line------

A few days ago, I was a little bit confused, and I didn't know whether to speed up the progress or what to do.Later, I re-read the previous book, trying to find out why some readers read it and voted for it.It wasn't until these two days that I discovered that what readers want to read is not data or narration, but stories, but stories that happened and didn't happen in those years.Now that he has found the direction, Bai also calms down and starts to code, carefully writing each chapter.I hope that I can stay everyone until the peak period of the national football team again, and let the blood of excitement spread all over the body again.
