long live football

During the intermission, Karl had made up his mind to reprimand Ogo.

如果没有他那个极度打击士气的乌龙球,现在计分牌上的数字就不是1:1.而是2:0、3:0甚至4:0了。

But when Ogo walked into the locker room with a ravaged look... Karl swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Look at this picture: the shoulders are shrunk and the head is drooping, the corners of the eyes that were already drooping are drooping even more, the eyes are still evasive, and the corners of the mouth are bent down, with an expression of crying or not.

Looking at the calm looks of the players who entered the door at the same time, Karl understood that these guys definitely "educated" Ogo after he returned to the locker room.

That being the case, Karl will no longer make matters worse-the punishment can be carried out after the team returns to Munich. If the players finish talking to Ogo and Karl is going to teach him a lesson, what if the opponent goes soft on the court in the second half? manage?At that time, a substitution quota will have to be wasted to replace him.

Moreover, to be honest, Ogo cannot be completely blamed for the own goal, he just appeared in the wrong position at the wrong time.

Thinking of this, the last trace of irritability in Carl's heart disappeared. Facing the frightened Ogo, he just nodded lightly and said, "Be careful in the second half, and don't make mistakes again."

A strange color flashed across Ao Ge's eyes, and then he was immediately excited as if inspired by the Lord, nodding so fast that the naked eye couldn't catch it.

……

After the re-kick-off in the second half, Sevilla's defense was tighter and the players' activities were more cautious.

The Sevilla players were reminded by the head coach during the intermission that they knew what the team's plan for the game was, so they involuntarily slowed down the rhythm on the court in order to save themselves to the maximum extent. physical strength.

Of course, when facing Munich 1860, they will occasionally have some very positive moves, and individual players will also cooperate with their teammates to put pressure on the opponent's half-if they can score a goal, they will be regarded as completing the task ahead of schedule, even if Failure to enter can also confuse the opponent, making the opponent unable to guess his plan.

Off the court, the Sevilla coach turned his head around frequently. Although he deliberately made a nonchalant look, those who are interested can still find that he can catch the Munich 1860 coach in his sight every time he turns his head.

"The head coach of Sevilla is too cautious." The commentator said inexplicably: "Oston is standing in such an obvious place on the side of the court. If he wants to make tactical changes or make substitution adjustments, he only needs to move Everyone can see clearly, does he need to stare at Oston so hard? It's almost a camera on the other's collar."

The coach of Sevilla has indeed been paying attention to Karl's movements, but his purpose is not to guard against any moves from the opponent, but... to hope that the opponent will make some moves——

'It's best to make a quick substitution after the game is deadlocked, and replace Portillo Owen Beckham all the time. The Sevilla coach thought: "When the game enters a penalty shootout, these replaced players will not be able to take penalty kicks!"Wouldn't my chances of winning be even greater then? '

But as the time passed, 1860 Munich did make a substitution at the end of the game, but it was two midfielders who were replaced. The Sevilla coach desperately expected to be replaced Those few people, the coach of the Lions team, didn't move any of them.

The Sevilla coach gritted his teeth secretly: This Karl Alston, don't have the same idea as me...

If Karl heard the thoughts of the Sevilla coach, he would probably retort directly with a blank face: Do you think I have no pursuit like you?

A game that can be settled within 90 minutes, why must it be dragged to a penalty shootout?

Munich 1860 has never given up on the idea of ​​scoring another goal. They used frequent long-range shots to penetrate Sevilla's defense and blast into the opponent's goal, but luck was a bit unlucky, and those shots never turned into goals. Effective goals.

And the reason why Karl has not replaced the attacking players in the midfield is actually just a rainy day, in case the game really has to wait until the penalty shootout to decide the outcome-the Sevilla coach's eyes are too urgent from time to time. It made the hair stand on end, and he felt uncomfortable all over. If he said that the other party didn't have any bad ideas, Karl would never believe it.

Race time ends, stoppage time starts and stoppage time ends.

After the start of overtime, the Sevilla coach's face became more and more happy.

After seeing the opponent's expression, Karl immediately understood that the game situation in front of him was probably exactly what Sevilla was expecting.

When did Sevilla decide to drag the game to penalties?Did the opponent conduct special training on penalty kicks before the game?What is the order of penalty points that the opponent may have in a while?

These thoughts flashed through Carl's mind one by one.

But he didn't feel timid in the slightest.

Yes, 1860 Munich did not focus on training the players' penalty kick skills before the game, and they don't like to play penalty kicks, but this does not mean that the Lions are afraid.

Sevilla may be very confident in the penalty shootout, but Karl also relies on it.

He has Koch.

Does Seville have it?

……

"Sevilla may have been planning to drag the game to the present. Before the overtime was over, I noticed their head coach writing and drawing on a piece of paper, which is very interesting. Maybe it's arranging the order of penalty kicks."

Carl glanced at his players: "He despises you."

"See the expressions on the faces of those Sevilla players? The confidence is almost overflowing."

"One can only have so much confidence when one has a strong confidence in one's own strength and at the same time despises the opponent."

"Why does Seville look down on you?"

"I thought about it, maybe it's because most of you are too young."

"Young people are impatient, focused on gains and losses, and have little experience. Few of them can take good penalties."

Having stimulated the players enough, Karl gave them another shot: "But I believe in you."

……

If some players had doubts about Carl's "I believe in you" one minute ago, now they have no idea of ​​questioning the boss's intentions.

Because after finishing the above sentence, Carl said lightly: "David will be punished first, and you decide the order of the remaining four." Then he left!

Let the players decide the order of penalty kicks!

What better way to show a manager's trust in a player than this?

there is none left!

It took several deep breaths for the Lions players to suppress their boiling satisfaction (the feeling that rises after being praised by the most important person), but the joy and strong self-confidence are still displayed on the faces of each of them.

After exchanging a few glances with each other, the players who knew their poor footwork took a step back and said that they voluntarily withdrew from the penalty shootout.

And the rest of the players began to discuss: Who is going to play?How to determine the order?

……

Carl said that he should delegate power, and even when he saw the players using rock-paper-scissors to determine the order of free throws, he still watched without changing his expression.

When Beckham and others informed him of the results, he just listened carefully, nodded after listening, found a piece of paper to write down the names and order, and then submitted it to the fourth official.

However, before the start of the penalty kick, he said the last sentence to his players: "When you go to the penalty spot, you must keep telling yourself in your heart, 'This goal can be scored! I can score! I can score! Definitely get the ball in!'”

The players naturally have no objections.

After carefully examining everyone's expressions, Carl breathed a sigh of relief: This time, there is really no problem at all.

The five people who will take the penalty in a while, Beckham, Portillo, Misimovic, Dzeko, and Irving all looked confident.

Allowing the players to decide the free throw candidates and order is actually a means for Karl to motivate the players.

The most important thing in a penalty shootout is the mentality. If Karl decides all the free throw candidates by himself, those who are selected will worry about their gains and losses and worry about their poor performance, and those who are not selected will doubt their ability and feel depressed.However, if the players are allowed to discuss and select the candidates themselves, they will be recognized by the team, and they will become more confident and have a stronger sense of responsibility for the team.

Some people may be worried: let the players do it themselves, aren't they afraid that they will screw up?

Don't forget that Karl is not completely letting go!He has the guy who nailed the first free throw.

The most important thing in a penalty shootout is the first and fifth penalty shooters, especially the first one. If the penalty is hit, it can directly stabilize people's hearts, and play a good role in guiding and relieving pressure for the teammates playing below. .

……

After the penalty lists of Munich 1860 and Sevilla were submitted, the head coach quickly gathered the players on the court and called the captains of the two teams to guess coins.

The side that guesses correctly has the choice of free throws first or second.

Generally speaking, the team that takes the first penalty is more dominant, because the first penalty is to hold the initiative in their own hands.

Some media have done a special data survey. The team that takes the first free throw wins 60% of the penalty shootout, and the team that takes the second free throw wins 40%.A professor named Juerta counted the data of 20 teams who guessed the coin correctly before the penalty kick, and 19 of them chose to take the penalty first, with only one exception.

The referee flips a coin.

Beckham guessed the pattern and the Sevilla captain guessed the number.

The referee announced the answer, it was a pattern.

Beckham guessed right, he chose to make a free throw first.

Sevilla goalkeeper Palop is in position.

Opposite him was a world-class free-kick master, and Palop was very nervous. Not only were his palms sweaty, but even his back was almost drenched in his jersey.

But Beckham is very relaxed. He has experienced countless games that are more important than the Europa League final, so he has no mental pressure at all.

Seeing the tense face of the opposite goalkeeper and his dodging eyes, Beckham smiled slightly, took a few steps back and started running.

Palop's spirit froze: Here we come!

Beckham only took a few short steps before he swung his arms and tilted his body, hitting the middle and lower part of the football hard!

Palop rushed to the left of the goal!

But the football made a bend in front of him and flew to the right!

Bayesian arc!

In the exclamation of the whole stadium, the football easily hit the net!

……

In order to show the importance attached to the Europa League final, Bavarian Radio specially found Gaynor a commentary partner during the live broadcast.

Although he is not a regular commentator on the TV station, he is also a pure man, but he has participated in many talk football programs, and he and Gaynor sang together. The boring second half of the game was a bit dull by their commentary. taste.

In the second half of overtime and when the penalty shootout was about to start, the two even used all kinds of tongue-in-cheek skills to keep the ears of the fans in front of the TV all the time.

But after Beckham took the first penalty kick, the two were silent again.

Emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred surged in their hearts.

After more than ten seconds, the guest spoke: "God is really unfair. He has such a magical right foot while having a handsome face. It's not fair, really."

Gaynor echoed with deep sympathy: "That's right."

The guest suddenly began to look for a sense of superiority: "Fortunately, there is still a voice to balance, Beckham's voice is not very good."

"Indeed, it's so soft and fluffy, it sounds like a little boy who can't grow up."

"There's that haunting East London flavor to the accent."

"I remember some British media said 'Beckham is definitely voiced by Harry Potter' Ha!"

The two narrators talked to each other, and fully found confidence for each other, but before they could calm down for a while, there was a muffled sound of "boom, boom, boom" coming from the earphones.

Looking up, the broadcast director standing a few meters away was banging on the glass frantically, with a fierce look on his face.

The two pure men were stunned for a moment, and then understood the director's eyes in seconds - although they were talking to each other as if they were chatting in the studio, when the live broadcast signal was released, far more than hundreds of people could hear their conversation Ten thousand fans, if the voice of taunting Beckham in front of countless people is heard by the diehard female fans... they are afraid that they will not die fast enough, aren't they?

Whether it's a happy male fan who is listening to the commentator hurting everyone, or an angry female fan, they all suddenly found that at this moment, in addition to the noise in the stadium, the commentary sound was weird again. It was silent for dozens of seconds.

Having been a media person for many years, Gaynor still has a bit of adaptability. He laughed dryly, did not change the subject, but continued with what he just said: "We talk about Beckham like this. After the game, he will be caught by him." Did the fans get hacked to death?"

If they want to keep the fans from taking it seriously, it is best for them to keep the beginning and the end, and end this topic in a relaxed and teasing tone, pretending that they were joking before.

The guests understood: "As long as you don't go to London for the time being, your life should not be in danger, buddy."

"Maybe I should say something nice about David Beckham?"

"Ah, how charming his good looks are when they are drenched in sweat..."

"His performance on the court is also the same. In the latest national team friendly match, he once again made contributions to England-although he did not win against Brazil, but the draw is still remarkable enough."

"Yeah, after several ups and downs, the people of England are fascinated by Beckham again."

"Who made him the key figure in qualifying for England's qualifiers."

"McLaren probably has a love-hate relationship with him."

"This can only be blamed on McLaren himself. As the coach of the national team, he failed to have a good eye for judging players. Even if England qualify in the final qualifiers, I don't think McLaren will last long..."

……

Koch stood in front of the goal with a murderous look on his face.

Sevilla's first free throw Fabiano felt the malice from all over the world.

He couldn't help shaking his body: It's just a penalty kick, dude, don't stare at me so viciously, right?

But Koch's eyes showed no signs of softening.

Fabiano was about to step back for a run-up, when he accidentally met the eyes, shook his right foot, and pushed the football more than one meter away from the penalty spot.

Seeing Fabiano touch the ball with his right foot, Koch's body immediately jumped forward reflexively. As soon as his upper body leaned out, he saw that the football did not deviate far from the penalty spot, so he adjusted his posture abruptly. come over.

Then the murderous intent became heavier.

The fans in the audience were in an uproar: Is this a free throw?This is a free throw? !

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! This is not a free throw, I just had a cramp in my foot!" Fabiano put the football back on the ground, and smiled at the referee: "Do it all over again!"

The referee was also taken aback just now, the whistle was in his mouth and he was about to suffocate him. Hearing Fabiano's words, he nodded and signaled the opponent to move faster.

Fabiano then started to run up again, raised his foot, and volleyed!

Koch flew to the left without hesitation and fell to the ground!

The football just hit him in the chest!

……

The head coach of Sevilla hugged his head in disbelief: Didn't make it?The ball didn't go in!

It shouldn't be!Fabiano is his carefully selected first free throw shooter, and he has almost broken the goals of all Sevilla opponents this season!Even Real Madrid and Barcelona are no exception!

Why did it fail in front of the goal of Munich 1860?

Thinking of the scene where Fabiano kicked the football crookedly before the run-up, the Sevilla coach decided that the problem must be here: it was because of this accident that Fabiano was discouraged before the official free throw. Then the shot missed, right?

Then why did Fabiano suddenly become weak?

The Sevilla coach couldn't help but look at the 1860 Munich goalkeeper.

He found that the opponent's whole body was covered with a layer of black air, and with the expression on that head, he suddenly looked as terrible as Satan descending.

Yes!The problem must be Lambert Koch!

Did this guy take an illegal drug?Or is it that his spirit and body are made of iron?Why is it that after playing for a full 120 minutes, the state of the penalty kick is still so fierce?

……

Regarding the reason why Lambert Koch is murderous, go back in time to 10 minutes ago: Many players in Munich 1860 are enthusiastically discussing the candidates for penalty kicks.

Koch had been silently observing, but when the results were about to be discussed, he suddenly said, "Should I be fined?" His face was full of absolute confidence.

The other players laughed after a collective silence: "You're a goalkeeper, buddy!"

"The goal depends on you to guard the goal, so don't get involved in free throws!"

"That's right, the goal is guarded by you. Maybe three or four rounds of the game will be over in the past. There are too many monks and too little food. Lambert, you should give us midfielders a chance to show up."

"But I can definitely make a free throw." Koch said with a serious face, "You all know my free throw skills, and I can also serve as the team's secret weapon when I play."

"The secret weapon should be reserved for very important occasions!" Everyone also answered him with a serious face: "The time has not yet come!"

Koch was very satisfied with the praise at first, but then his face turned black: "The Europa League final is not important, so what is important? The Champions League final? The World Cup?"

So the depressed goalkeeper of Munich 1860 pulled down the dark clouds from the entire Hampton Park stadium and caged himself.

……

Beckham gave the team a good start, and after him, Portillo also easily scored the ball.

Then there was Sevilla player Kanoute, who did not escape the fate of his predecessors when he took the second penalty kick, and was held in Koch's arms again.

The cheers in the stadium are getting louder and louder. The fans in blue can't wait for the third round of free throws. If they are lucky, the game will be decided after this round!

Misimovic held his breath and stood in front of the penalty spot.

He is the third free throw shooter of Munich 1860. Because of his calm personality and excellent control of mentality, the order of free throws is lower than the two forwards Owen and Dzeko.

He raised his head and glanced at the Sevilla goalkeeper. After seeing the opponent's right leg forward and his body leaning to the right involuntarily, he slowly began to care about it.

Misimovic starts the run-up.

Hampden Park was generally quiet, although some Sevilla fans could scream and exclamation, trying to interrupt the opponent's penalty.

Misimovic blocked his senses all over his body, and only looked at the football and the white goal frame wholeheartedly.

The speed is getting faster and faster...and finally rushed to the penalty spot!

Misimovic suddenly kicked and shot!

The football goes straight to the net from the middle of the goal!

……

Adriano shoulders the responsibility of extending life for Sevilla.

There are five rounds of penalty shootouts, and the team with the most goals after five rounds wins.

But if one team makes three free throws in the first three rounds and the other team misses all three free throws, the game can end early.

In the two and a half rounds of free throws that ended before, Munich 1860 had scored all three free throws, and Sevilla also missed two free throws. If Adriano scored this goal, then they can Another round later, if he doesn't make a penalty... Sevilla can immediately pack up and go back to Spain.

When the Sevilla head coach asked the players to practice their free throw skills before the game, and repeatedly instilled in them the requirement of delaying time during the game, the Sevilla players were still very convinced of the coach.

But at this time, Adriano couldn't help but began to doubt: Is the coach's decision really right?How do you look at it now, are they the ones who are bad?

The failure to score the first two penalties has dealt a huge blow to Sevilla's morale and made their players doubt themselves.

Adriano's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't help walking for a while standing in front of the penalty spot.

It wasn't until the referee couldn't bear to remind him that he realized that he still had a task to complete.

So Adriano reluctantly waved away all the thoughts in his mind, turned around for a run-up seriously, and then seriously raised his foot to draw the football!

Koch took off and flew into the air!

After Adriano took the shot, he stared at the football, watching it fly higher and higher...

Finally flew off the crossbar.

Actually shot, shot and flew.

As early as when the football flew close to the sky, Koch had judged that the current speed and height of the ball could no longer pose any threat to the goal of Munich 1860, so when the football flew past his fingertips, he also He didn't deliberately reach out to catch the ball, but let the earth's gravity attract him, and landed on both feet back to the turf.

Turning his head and looking back, the football flew out of the sideline and was about to fly into the stands.

Ignoring the mourning Sevilla players in front of him, Koch walked off the field and went to celebrate with his teammates.

Penalty shootout 3:0, total score 4:1, Munich 1860 has defeated Sevilla and won the Europa League final!

……

Hampton Park Stadium into an atmosphere of extreme frenzy!

The fans jumped up and down in the stands, venting their emotions at the top of their voices!

Every Lions player has a bright smile on his face, hugging the people around him heartily!

Boundless relaxation and joy filled Karl's heart. He even felt that the next Bundesliga and German Cup matches were nothing. Munich 1860 will definitely go forward bravely and win the final crown!

In the media area, countless reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, seemingly still in shock: Is it over?The penalty shootout, which was supposed to be the most difficult and most testing player's strength, ended so easily?

How is the process of this UEFA Cup final different from what I imagined!
