Chapter 968 I Just Disdain

Before the game, no one could have imagined that this ordinary European Super Cup would be decided in this way.

Penalty shootout!

Although the European Super Cup has a penalty shoot-out rule, such a thing has never happened since the establishment of the European Super Cup.Unexpectedly, this time it appeared on Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Shooting penalties at each other in the UEFA Super Cup, none of the players on both sides has this experience.

The broadcast time of the game has been greatly lengthened, but this did not make everyone feel uncomfortable, but with the arrival of the penalty shootout, they became excited again.

The list of penalty kicks for both sides was finally released.

Then the two captains guess the coin to decide who will come first, and choose the side.

Casillas won the right to pick a side. He decisively chose Real Madrid's goal in the second half of overtime. He considered it from his own perspective. He was more familiar with the goal he had just defended, and he rushed to the penalty kick in a while. It's cheaper to come...

Because Real Madrid won the right to pick a side, the power of the first free throw naturally fell into the hands of Liverpool.

The first player to play was captain Gerrard. He was the team's number one penalty shooter and the captain of the team. As the first penalty kick under the most pressure, he had the obligation to stand up.

Although Casillas is slightly weaker in terms of free kicks, he is the world's top player in penalty kicks.

For the first ball, Gerrard kicked to the lower left corner of the goal. Casillas judged the right direction and touched the football between his fingers, but he was a step later and only touched the football, which did not completely change the flight of the football. trajectory!

The football finally flew into the goal!

"Gerrard! It's so hanging! Almost, Casillas judged the right direction! But Gerrard's kicking power is too strong, even if Casillas touches the football, it won't help!"

"Anyway, Liverpool are now one goal ahead in the shoot-out!"

It annoyed Casillas that he had caught the football but hadn't saved it yet, but it also gave him confidence in his heart, and at the same time brought great pressure to other Liverpool players.

Because they will know that Real Madrid's goalkeeper is capable of saving the penalty they kicked!
The best penalty shooter in the team was judged in the right direction by him, and almost saved it. How could the others be better?

※ ※ ※

Real Madrid's first appearance here was their penalty taker, Cristiano Ronaldo, who also made it in one go, kicking the football in.

"Ronaldo! Beautiful! Reina completely judged the wrong direction!"

After the goal, Ronaldo celebrated with a punch, while Reina shook his head and got up from the ground.

There seems to be a clear difference in the ability of the two goalkeepers to save penalties...

※ ※ ※

Liverpool's second player was full-back Jose Enrique.

Enrique was obviously affected by Gerrard's ball. He was enveloped by Casillas' strong aura. The penalty shot was weak and the angle was not tricky. Casillas was judged correct Easy to keep!

"Ah... Enrique's penalty was saved! What a pity! Now Liverpool are behind in the penalty shoot-out! Casillas proved that he deserves to be the number one goalkeeper in the world!"

Next, the second person from Real Madrid to take the penalty was Harvey Alonso. He is also a player who is good at taking penalties, and he scored easily.In this way, Real Madrid took a one-goal lead in the penalty shootout.

When Alonso walked back after taking the penalty kick, he passed by Chen Yingxiong.He turned his head and glanced at Chen Yingxiong.

Because he used to be a member of Liverpool, he is very concerned about Liverpool. Now that Chen Yingxiong is doing well in Liverpool, he has heard a lot about it. He knows that the reason why Liverpool achieved such good results last season is because of Because there is a hero Chen.

So he actually has a kind of intimacy with Chen Yingxiong, even though they once played against each other on the court, he was already a member of Real Madrid at that time, and Chen Yingxiong was still a player of Naples...

Chen Yingxiong walked towards the penalty spot without squinting.

Everyone focused their attention on him, and he should be under a lot of pressure.Because this third penalty may not be important in normal times, but it is indeed important today.

Enrique's second penalty miss hit Liverpool's morale and shook Liverpool's morale.Under such circumstances, if the third player on the field cannot withstand the pressure and misses the football penalty, then the morale and morale that were only "swaying" before will collapse instantly, and the team may lose the penalty shootout .

Therefore, the third penalty shooter shoulders the important task of stabilizing everyone's morale. This penalty only needs to be scored and not missed!

Originally, O'Neill, who arranged for Chen Yingxiong to take the third penalty, didn't think so much. What he thought was that Chen Yingxiong hardly took penalty kicks and lacked experience in this area, so he was arranged to play in a position where the pressure was not so high. The ball is ready...

Unexpectedly, this pushed him to the most stressful juncture.

Martin O'Neill was a little nervous—he didn't know much about Chen Yingxiong's penalty kick ability, and he didn't know whether Chen Yingxiong would not take the penalty, or he didn't bother to take the penalty. Anyway, he had never seen Chen Yingxiong take a penalty kick in the game... …

※ ※ ※

Under tremendous pressure, Chen Yingxiong walked to the penalty spot with a calm face, and then placed the football.

From his expression, it is impossible to tell whether he is nervous or calm...

Everyone can only wait for the moment when the answer is revealed.

Chen Yingxiong turned his head away, but not to the referee, but to the teammates behind him.Everyone was very nervous. Jose Enrique, who had missed a penalty kick, even knelt on the turf.

Chen Yingxiong saw them all nervous, and suddenly felt that they should release a little pressure, so he made a "V" gesture to his teammates behind him...

This action was beyond everyone's expectations, not only the Liverpool people, but even the Real Madrid people didn't expect it - what is Chen Yingxiong doing?Foretelling the victory or saying that he himself is "two"?
Someone was drinking water at this time, but he also choked on the water and coughed violently.

Chen Yingxiong's action suddenly seemed to be a nonsensical performance in a tense atmosphere, making this penalty shootout a bit absurd.

After the competition, Chen Yingxiong turned around again, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Chen Yingxiong runs up, exerts force, and hits the ball!
The football flew to the upper right corner of the goal with a bang!

Casillas made a save, but his hand was still a long way from the ball in the air.

This is a theoretical dead end!

"Beautiful!!! The ball has been scored!"

Following the shout of the commentator, the football shot by Chen Yingxiong got into the goal steadily.

Chen Yingxiong spread out his hands with a calm expression on his face.

Depend on!Don't think that if I don't kick a penalty, I can't kick it. I didn't bother to kick it at that time!I don't know how many times I have practiced the penalty kick in the dungeon!Isn't it just shooting skills?

This is how Chen Yingxiong understands penalty kicks. In fact, the penalty kick competition is about psychological quality, but it is impossible for a duo like Chen Yingxiong to be overwhelmed by pressure, so psychological quality is naturally out of his consideration.All he considered was archery, and archery was something he had trained many times in dungeons, so he was naturally not afraid of it.

※ ※ ※

Seeing Yingxiong Chen shoot the football into the goal, Martin O'Neill heaved a sigh of relief. When Yingxiong Chen was being funny before, his brain froze. He didn't know what Yingxiong Chen was trying to do.

Of course, he has also heard and understood Chen Yingxiong's character, so now he is very unclear whether Chen Yingxiong's move was to confuse Casillas, or it was just because of his personality...

Casillas thumped the ground hard. He felt that Chen Yingxiong turned around and made a "V" gesture just now to confuse himself and distract himself.How insidious!He was a bit wronged—he was indeed a little distracted after seeing Chen Yingxiong's action, and his mind was full of the question "What is he doing? What's the point?", so that when Chen Yingxiong shot out Sometimes, I can't react in time...

Chen Yingxiong had completed his mission. He turned around and walked back to his teammates. He didn't forget to pat Enrique: "Look, it's okay! We're tying them again!"

Enrique was still frowning: "But they haven't kicked yet!"

Chen Yingxiong continued to pat him on the shoulder: "You have to trust Reina, Jose!"

※ ※ ※

Many people think that Casillas is an expert in penalty kicks.

But how many people know that the reason why Casillas is good at saving penalty kicks is because he has deliberately imitated someone?And in terms of penalty kicks, this person is not only his role model, but also gave him some guidance and advice in the national team?

This person is none other than Liverpool's assistant goalkeeper, Spain's No. [-] national goalkeeper Reina.

Even Iker Casillas himself admits that in terms of penalty kicks, he learned from Reina, who is better at penalty kicks than him!
Perhaps because Casillas is in the limelight now, everyone has forgotten this past...

Chen Yingxiong didn't know about this past, he was purely out of trust in his teammates.

※ ※ ※

Reina tightened his gloves and stood in front of the goal.

Chen Yingxiong's performance is over, and now he is the protagonist on this stage!
Now the two sides are still evenly divided, but Real Madrid has one less penalty than Liverpool. As long as their third player can kick the football in, Real Madrid is still ahead.The ball that Chen Yingxiong kicked under great pressure was meaningless.

Reina must save the ball. Only in this way can the two sides truly return to the same starting line... No, no, at this time, as long as he can save Real Madrid's third penalty shooter Ramos' penalty, it will not only The score is equalized, and more importantly, Real Madrid's morale will be hit, while Liverpool will bounce back!The dominant will be Liverpool!
He slapped hard, lowered his center of gravity slightly on the goal line, and fixed his eyes on his teammate Ramos in the national team.
