Chapter 160 Penalty Shootout

Chapter 160 Penalty Shootout

The 120-minute game was over. With Rooney's shot and Jin Maoluo's supplementary shot being saved by Frey one after another, the overtime period also came to an end, and the most brutal penalty shootout was about to begin.

No one wanted to end the game in such a way, but fate brought them to this point.

Players from both teams walked to the sidelines, waiting for the allocation order. Fiorentina's Digan took the initiative to ask for the fourth penalty kick. Although he never took a penalty kick during the game, his shooting skills and In terms of psychological quality, Prandelli trusted him very much, and agreed to Digan's request without any hesitation.

"Boys! This is the final test. I believe that you are all strong men. Nothing can overwhelm you. I don't want to say anything. Go up! Defeat your opponent and take back our championship!"

Degan was lying on the ground, and the team doctor was giving him a massage. Hearing Prandelli's words, Degan smiled: "Of course, coach! I don't want to accept a defeat after 120 minutes of the game!"

The other Fiorentina players also looked very relaxed. With a captain like Degan, they all had a thickened nerve line infected by the infection, and they would not have any nervousness or anything.

Goalkeeping coach Vicky took Frey aside and handed him a note listing the penalty-kick habits of all United players.

This trick was invented by the Germans as early as the 2006 World Cup. At that time, Lehmann dominated the penalty shootout by relying on the small note provided by the coaching staff.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere on the Fiorentina side, the atmosphere on the Manchester United team seemed a little tense. Although they had practiced penalty kicks before the game, no one expected that the game would go to this point.

Ferguson was hurrying up and cheering on his children, but for some reason, his mood suddenly became tense, which was something he had never experienced before.

"Okay! Boys! Since God wants us to end this game this way, let's just accept it, Ryan! You're first! Park! You're second! Paul! You're third! "

Having said that, Ferguson paused for a moment before announcing: "Cristiano! You are the fourth!"

When Jin Maoluo heard this, he was overjoyed. Ferguson arranged for him to take the fourth penalty kick. Obviously he still trusted him very much, but when he thought of the burden on his shoulders, Jin Maoluo became nervous again. He didn't know that he could take the penalty kick. Can't do it well.

"Cristiano! Any questions?"

When Jin Maoluo heard this, he quickly shook his head: "No! No problem! I can kick in!"

The penalty shootout started, and the stadium was extremely quiet. Everyone held their breath, and the same was true for the audience in front of the TV, especially for Kaka in Brazil.

Giggs of the Manchester United team was the first to play. He walked to the penalty spot with a relaxed demeanor, put the football in place, and looked up at Frey. He was not nervous. In such a scene, in his long career, There have also been many times, and it is only a penalty shootout.

He took two steps back, and waited for the referee's whistle to blow. Giggs took two steps and kicked the ball with his right foot, which he was not good at. Although Frey judged the right direction, the speed of the football was very fast. Drilled directly from his hand into the goal.

1:0!

After scoring the goal, Giggs waved his fist vigorously as if venting, while Frey was full of annoyance. If he could have been faster just now, the ball would have been thrown.

Arteta was the first to play on Fiorentina's side. He has very good footwork and a big heart. When the referee's whistle sounded, he ran up very casually, and then kicked the ball out.

Van der Sar lunged to the left of goal, only to find Arteta had kicked a scoop.

Arteta smiled, jogged back to the middle circle, and celebrated with high-fives with every teammate. At such a critical time, Arteta actually used a spoon to decide the winner. I have to say that the Spaniard's psychological quality is really good. pole.

The second player from Manchester United was South Korean player Park Ji-sung. Xiao Bangbang looked at Frey with his bitter face, trying to put pressure on Frey, but it failed because his face really didn't have any The deterrence, of course, is ridiculous, and Frey has a good laugh.

Run up, shoot!

Frey stood still, and directly grabbed the whistle kicked out by Park Zhixing in his hand.

Seeing this, Ferguson on the sidelines kicked all the water bottles around him away. His mouth moved so fast that no one knew what he was talking about.

On the other side, the Fiorentina coaching staff and substitute players cheered. In the penalty shootout, they had already gained an advantage.

The Fiorentina fans in the stands cheered even more.

Fiorentina's second player, Montolivo, scored the penalty very easily.

Then there was Scholes on the Manchester United side, and he also made the free throw into the dead corner very steadily.

It was Pasquale who came on later, and his penalty shot directly through the goal guarded by Van der Sar.

3:2!

Fiorentina is leading, and the next Manchester United will play is Jin Maoluo. If he misses a penalty kick and Digan, who plays later, makes a shot, Fiorentina will win the game.

When Jin Maoluo walked to the penalty spot, Frey's eyes lit up, and he could feel that Jin Maoluo's eyes were full of tension.

Boom!

Jin Maoluo put his head in his hands and knelt directly on the ground!

The ball he shot to the upper left corner of the goal was held by Frey with a single palm and hit the crossbar.

This is completely contrary to his expected script. In his expected script, he should be the hero of the team. He should kill all sides in the game and lead the team to victory, but now~~~~~~

But he became the team's biggest sinner!

Ferguson on the sidelines was stunned. At this moment, he already had a premonition of failure.

Ferguson has some regrets, he should not have given this important task to Jin Maoluo, the handsome Portuguese is far from being as strong as people imagined, on the contrary, he is very fragile.

Under the extremely tense situation, Jin Maoluo was finally crushed by himself!

Afterwards, it was Deegan's turn to play. Putting the ball away, Deegan did not retreat, but stood next to the football. In front of him was Van der Sar who kept waving his arms.

Degan suddenly laughed. At the moment when the referee's whistle sounded, Degan swung his legs on the spot without the slightest hesitation and blasted the ball out.
