Chapter 161 Penalty Shootout
Chapter 155 Penalty Shootout

"The game is over!! The game is over!!!"

"One to one!!! The next two teams will enter a penalty shootout!!!"

Ferguson still had anger on his face, but at this point, he didn't care about anything. He immediately summoned the players with his assistants and members of the coaching staff to prepare for a penalty shootout.

Compared with Manchester United, Luton's preparations for the penalty shootout are much more solid.

Goalkeeper coach Danny King is communicating with Schmeichel with a document, and the penalty kick habits of every Manchester United player are on it.

Compared with Luton, it is difficult for Manchester United to collect such information-because Luton's players were not famous at all before, where can Manchester United find such information.

Gao Bo is determining the order of penalty kicks.

"Jamie!!!!"

Gao Bo patted Vardy on the shoulder!

"You are the first to be punished!! No problem!!"

"No problem!! Boss!!"

"Danny!!"

Drinkwater raised his hand.

"You second!!!"

"Anthony!!"

Griezmann look up!

"You are third!!"

"Sol!!"

This is the veteran Campbell. Although he is a central defender, a veteran is much more stable when a big heart needs to be tested. Moreover, the penalty kick is not a test of skill, but of mental state.

"You are fourth!!"

Campbell nodded. For the first game of the new season, Campbell still feels very good. The team's defense is very good. Being able to drag the game to a penalty shootout against Manchester United is enough to show the strength of this team.

"Kevin!!"

Gao Bo left Kevin Keane in the fifth place to take the penalty. For Kevin Keane, Gao Bo still trusts him very much. Although from a technical perspective, it may be difficult for Kevin to reach the heights of Kanter, Vardy, Griezmann and others in the future, but he is now the captain of the team. On the most important penalty point, Gao Bo chose to trust him.

Generally speaking, the first, third, and fifth referees are very critical, and Gao Bo put his most trusted referees on these points, which can be said to be a very safe arrangement.

Manchester United also quickly made preparations.

With the goalkeepers of both sides coming to the goal, the penalty shootout is about to begin.

"The penalty shootout is about to start!! The first player to play is the Manchester United player! Michael Owen is standing on the penalty spot holding the ball. It seems that he is going to be the first to take the penalty!"

Schmeichel walked towards the goal. He was actually a little nervous, but before he made a free throw, Gao Bo patted his back and encouraged: "Casper! Believe in yourself!!!!"

For no apparent reason, Schmeichel felt himself calm down as he made his way to goal.

This is probably because Gao Bo just finished switching cards.

[Match Card (Green): The goalkeeper's save success rate is increased by 15%, and the designated player "Casper Schmeichel" is used! 】

In the penalty shootout, the element of luck has a very important impact on the outcome. If luck is better, even if an amateur team plays a penalty shootout with Manchester United, Manchester United dare not say that it will win.The penalty shootout can be said to have brought the strength of the two sides to an almost equal position.

The goalkeeper is undoubtedly the key.

Schmeichel stood on the sidelines, facing Michael Owen!

Irving sets the ball up, then back legs.

Schmeichel lowered his center of gravity and fixed his eyes on Owen.

Owen started to run!
Schmeichel had already made a judgment before Irving sent the ball!

right! ! !

Owen really sent it to the right!

The Luton fans were all cheering, but despite Schmeichel's pounce, Owen's penalty angled so trickily that the ball flew through Schmeichel's fingertips and into the goal.

Manchester United made the first free throw, and Schmeichel patted the turf regretfully. If he had been more determined just now, the ball would have been saved in all likelihood, because his fingertips had almost touched the ball just now.

"One to zero!! Manchester United scored a penalty first!" Letkinson said, "But the next player to play is Ben Foster. He was equalized because of a butter hand accident in the game. How will this goalkeeper who made mistakes perform in the game?"

In fact, it also proves that Ben Foster's mentality is not very stable now.

After Vardy put the ball in place, he ran up a few steps and shot with his right foot. Ben Foster guessed the wrong direction!

Luton also scored the first penalty!

Manchester United's second penalty shooter is Nani.

The Portuguese made a direct penalty to the middle. This was a powerful blast, which caught Schmeichel, who had already made a save, by surprise.

Drinkwater also stood on the penalty spot. This game is still very special for him, after all, he is on loan from Manchester United.

Ferguson is still very concerned about Drinkwater's performance in this game. If he said that he would take back Drinkwater just to create some pressure on Luton by the way, then after this game, he really came up with the idea of ​​letting Drinkwater into the first team.

Drinkwater adjusts his breathing, and then runs!

Ben Foster guessed the wrong direction again, which made Manchester United fans a little nervous. It seems that Ben Foster is really in a bad state today.

Luton's second penalty was also scored!
The next player to play was Carrick, Carrick took the penalty to the right, and Schmeichel again judged the right direction, but unfortunately he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net.

Carrick clenched his fist slightly, then turned and left.

Griezmann walked up with firm steps.

He had already figured out how to make free throws.

Ben Foster looked at Griezmann's handsome face, and he was guessing Griezmann's free throw style.

Maybe a nudge to the dead end.

Ben Foster calmed down, and he was about to dive to the right.

This time Ben Foster got the direction right, but not the way to get the free throw.

The handsome Griezmann's free throw method is not very handsome, but rather rough.

Strong volley top right corner!
Ben Foster can only watch the football hit the net!

Three to three! !

After three rounds, both sides scored!
Next Manchester United's fourth appearance is Valencia.

Valencia couldn't see the expression on his face, and Schmeichel could only rely on his intuition.

Valencia runs up, Schmeichel flies up! !
"Oh post!! It's a pity that it still bounced into the goal!!"

Schmeichel again judged the right direction, but Valencia was lucky. His shot hit the inner edge of the goalpost and bounced into the goal. There is nothing the goalkeeper can do about this kind of ball.

The next player to play is veteran Saul Campbell.

Campbell didn't talk too much, he took the penalty quickly and neatly, and as soon as the whistle sounded, he volleyed vigorously.

The ball flew into the goal from the left and Ben Foster again misjudged the direction.

The fifth penalty! !
Rooney stood at the penalty spot! !
Schmeichel jumped on the goal line, then ran to the left and knocked on the post with his shoe spikes, making a bang bang.

He took advantage of the fact that the referee didn't blow his whistle, and tried to interfere with Rooney with some actions.

Rooney took a deep breath, and when the referee blew his whistle, Rooney started to run.

He pushed to the left! ! !

Schmeichel jumped to the side the moment Rooney touched the ball!
The direction is right! ! !

Immediately afterwards, Schmeichel stretched his arms hard, and his fingertips barely rubbed the ball!
The football hit the post! !
No entry! ! !

"Beautiful!!! Schmeichel saved Rooney's penalty!!!!!!"

Little Schmeichel stood up from a carp on the ground, then clenched his fists and roared! !
Manchester United missed the fifth penalty!

This means that if Luton's fifth penalty is scored, then Luton will win the Community Shield!

Kevin Keane stands on the penalty spot.

All eyes were on him.

At this time, it can be seen why Ben Foster was eventually given up by Manchester United.

His mental quality was a little off. In this situation, his fingers actually started to tremble slightly.

And Kevin Keane doesn't have this problem. Gao Bo chooses someone to take a penalty kick based on his mental attributes!

Kevin went straight to the run-up, and in the final critical penalty, he chose to volley vigorously in the middle!

When Ben Foster flew out, he saw the ball coming, but it was too late!
Five to four!
Luton won the penalty shootout! !
