"Good!"

Lippi no longer hesitated.

Agreed to Xiao Chenhui's first free throw.

And quickly read out the order of appearance of the other penalty kickers.

As a world-class gold medal manager.

He is extremely reluctant to see his team go to the penalty shootout.

But he had imagined the worst in advance.

Among them were the scenes he least wanted to face.

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

After Xiao Chenhui.

Lippi's order of appearance is Yu Hai, Hao Junmin, Wu Lei and Zheng Zhi.

If the first round of penalties does not determine the winner or loser.

Lippi also has a second lineup.

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

Because in a brutal penalty shootout, it's so torturous.

It seems that it was already predestined.

This match is destined to become a showdown between Xiao Chenhui and Cahill.

The first Australian side to play was captain Tim Cahill.

When both players all retreat to the midfield line position.

When standing shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand.

Cahill stepped into the ring.

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

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

His eyes drifted and glanced at the lower right corner of the goal.

Then he quickly withdrew his gaze.

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

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

Yan Junling, who was standing on the goal line, subconsciously shifted his body's center of gravity to the direction that Cahill glanced over.

"Beep!"

The whistle of the penalty shootout sounded.

The referee kicked off this brutal life-and-death battle with a whistle.

Cahill took a deep breath.

Took a few steps back.

Then strode forward.

He picked up his right leg and pumped it the football.

"Bang!"

The soccer ball that was hit hard flew straight to the top left corner of the goal!

Eye deception!

What bottom right corner?

Cahill never thought of kicking this penalty in the bottom right corner!

Yan Junling pounced.

Heavily thrown on the other side in front of the goal.

Helplessly pay for his youth.

Watch as Cahill's penalty easily landed.

Annoyed, he slammed the lawn.

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

Because the same goal is used in the penalty shootout.

Australian goalkeeper Matthew Ryan is coming on.

Yan Junling had to give way to him.

Xiao Chenhui did not hesitate at all.

Stride to the penalty spot.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife and he looked at Matthew Ryan.

It's like sending a deadly talisman.

Matthew Ryan was chilled by Xiao Chenhui's gaze.

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

To say that there is no trace of psychological shadow is impossible.

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

Matthew Ryan had to grit his teeth secretly.

Prepared to save a penalty.

"Beep!"

"Ugh!"

The referee's whistle blew for just a few seconds.

Then came the sound of the ball rubbing against the net.

Xiao Chenhui was under tremendous pressure.

With a powerful volley similar to a blast rod, the ball is sent into the top left corner of the goal.

It is almost the same way and angle as Cahill broke the goal just now.

But the power and speed of the free throw is more exciting than Cahill's free throw!

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

It also brought endless confidence to the members of the Dragon Team who appeared later!

That's what the captain does!

The role of the star!

No matter when and where, it always inspires your teammates to push forward!

After a short cheer.

The second round of penalties began.

Yu Hai and Matthew Leckie both scored penalties in the second round.

After the successful penalty, they couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Use a roar to vent the great pressure in your heart.

Then they each returned to their midfield positions.

He and his teammates continue to stand shoulder to shoulder, holding hands and waiting for the next round of penalty shootouts.

Penalty shootout in the third round.

It was done by Robbie Cruise of the Australian team and Hao Junmin of the Dragon team.

In order of appearance.

The first free throw was Robbie Cruise.

He stood in front of the penalty spot and jumped over.

With a low and flat shot hole, he pierced Yan Junling's ten fingers.

Steadily won the advantage for the Australian team again!

After Robbie Cruise exited.

Hao Junmin walked near the penalty spot.

He is 28 years old.

If nothing else.

This is his last Asian Cup.

Four years later.

He will become a 32-year-old veteran.

With the rise of the Dragon Team lads, 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 did not want to miss this opportunity to win the Asian Cup.

He wanted to score this crucial penalty!

But perhaps it was the enormous psychological pressure and the desperate desire to win the Asian Cup.

Or maybe after 120 minutes of hard work, his fitness has slipped to the point where he is about to run out.

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

In the end, the penalty was unsuccessful.

Instead, he kicked the ball hard onto the goalpost.

The football grazed the edge of the goalpost and flew out of the line.

Watch football pass by goals.

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

Reached out and lifted the jersey over his face.

For a long time, I did not want to face the reality in front of me.

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's shoulder.

"Third brother, don't lose it! You have done your best, you listen, the compatriots on the scene are still cheering for you.

Hao Junmin put down the jersey that covered his face.

Look up at the sea of red.

Really.

None of the fans criticized Hao Junmin for missing a penalty.

On the contrary, he still did his best to inspire the boys of the Dragon Team.

The Dragon Team can go this far.

Everyone gives too much.

The fans are watching.

So the Dragon Team deserves applause and encouragement.

And not the voice of criticism.

Fourth round penalty shootout.

Australia's centre-back Trent Sainsbury made the debut.

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

Sainsbury may have somewhat despised the young Dragon goalkeeper in front of him.

Come up and blast!

Unfortunately, the angle of this ball is slightly correct.

It is also a favorite half-height ball among goalkeepers.

Young Yan Junling flew sideways.

Fight to keep this ball out of the goal!

Yan Junling, who successfully saved it, swept away the previous decline.

Stand up and shout.

Threw all the depression in his heart out of cloud nine.

The penalty shootout is undoubtedly the most brutal for a young goalkeeper.

But once successfully saved in the penalty shootout.

It is very beneficial to the growth of young goalkeepers.

For example, Yan Junling.

His rebirth was quietly completed at this moment.

Wu Lei, who then came on the field, completed the goal with a wonderful spoon penalty.

Ornamentation is not lost to Xiao Chenhui's first penalty!

The big score between the two sides came to 6:6.

The race has reached its final critical juncture!

Fifth round of penalty shootouts.

Tommy Orr, who was replaced by the head coach before extra time, made the appearance.

He calmly runs, gets up and finishes shooting.

The football cunningly passed under Yan Junling's armpit.

Stuck to the lawn and got into the dead corner of the goal.

Australia is leading again!

Veteran Zheng Zhi made his fifth appearance for the Dragon Team.

There is a wind of general in his every movement.

Calmly sent the penalty into the Australian goal.

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

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

Given the Italian team's ability to take penalties and the sadness of repeatedly falling twelve yards ago.

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

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

But who would have thought that the national team coached differently.

Is it still difficult to escape such a cruel fate?

But I don't want to face it anymore.

There is no escape.

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

The sixth round penalty shootout became the stage for the performances of the goalkeepers of both sides.

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

Immediately after that, Matthew Ryan returned the color.

Keep Weshow's penalty out!

In front of the experienced Matthew Ryan, the young Wei Shihao is still too immature.

The penalty shoot-out became more and more brutal.

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

The audience was silent.

Everyone clenched their fists nervously.

Watch with bated breath on the square inch between the goal and the twelve yards.

Seventh round.

Both free throws were hit.

Round eight.

Both free throws were hit.

......

Seeing that the penalty shootout of the tenth round is coming.

The two sides still failed to tell the winner and loser!

The head coaches of both teams were at risk of heart attack.

Anxiously arranged for their respective players to continue playing.

Nine consecutive games of penalty kicks on the international stage.

Such scenes are not casual.

But heaven seems to be deliberately joking with two teams.

A unique script was set for this game.

The tenth Australian player to appear had a powerful volley.

Yan Junling struggled to make a wonderful save.

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

Knocked the ball into the air.

Perhaps fate is on Australia's side this time.

Just as a breeze blew.

The football, which had already gone off track, made a slight bend in the air.

It unexpectedly smashed into the junction of the goalpost and the crossbar, and then bounced into the goal.

The goal works!

By mysterious luck, Australia took the lead.

The tenth to appear for the Dragon Team was young player Xu Xin.

In the face of great pressure.

Xu Xin sweated a little nervously.

As a fledgling, he was unable to score this crucial penalty.

The kicked ball grazed the beam slightly above the goal!

The Dragons tragically fell in this penalty shootout.

Such an outcome was obviously something no one expected.

But it's different.

Even if the Dragon Team only ended up being runner-up.

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

But they still gave the Dragon Team unprecedented warm applause.

Prolonged!
