Jagged Wings

Chapter 132 Penalty Shootout
Spain's second appearance is Villa. Villa and Torres performed very well in this World Cup. They tied for the top scorer.But because Torres wasted opportunities in the game, and Villa has always been stable, so Aragones chose Villa.

But Villa let him down. His kick was quite powerful, and it can even be said that it was too hard...

The football flew high over the bar!
"Ah! Villa shot high! He kicked the football away!!"

There was a loud sigh from the stands, while Portugal's players burst into cheers.

Villa put his head in his hands and couldn't believe his eyes. In such an important game, he missed a penalty kick.Who knows if the last kick will become a key node to change the outcome of the game?

"The second round of penalty shootout is over, Portugal leads Spain 2:1!"

Portugal's third player to take penalty kicks was Deco. Deco's set-pieces were of a very high standard and his mental quality was excellent. Scolari placed him third because he considered Deco's two aspects. factor.

But he considered that there are players in the Spanish team who have played in the Champions League final, but he forgot that Deco has also played in the Champions League final-his physical strength can't keep up!
Deco's shot went straight into the middle, but Casillas misjudged the direction and jumped to the side. As a result, Deco's foot softened and the football flew into the sky.

Deco looked at his feet in disbelief, then at the goal, and finally his already bitter face became even more bitter.

Spain came to Xiaofa, the ball was under a lot of pressure, if it scored, it would equalize; if it didn't score, the opponent would still be 2:1.

Aragones chose Xiaofa because he liked Xiaofa's mature mind, and Xiaofa did not disappoint him.

"2:2! After the third round, the two sides returned to the same starting line."

The fourth player on the Portuguese side is Ronaldo, and everyone encouraged the future leader of the team.

But the 21-year-old Ronaldo doesn't seem ready to be the core and leader. Facing Casillas, the football he shoots is weak. If Casillas can't even catch this level of shots, then he will be ashamed What to do "Saint Cassie" again.

He easily confiscated Ronaldo's penalty!

Ronaldo covered his mouth with his hands, and the confusion in his eyes became more intense.

Off the field, Scolari uttered a swear word and kicked over a mineral water bottle.

Coincidentally, Reyes played on Spain's side. Ronaldo with his head down and Reyes with his head up passed by. A reporter was clever and captured this shot. If Spain advances after the game, this photo can be used as a newspaper cover .

"Three rounds of the penalty shootout have now passed, and the score is 2:2. In the fourth round, Cristiano Ronaldo missed a shot. Let's see Reyes' penalty! Now the pressure has shifted to him!"

If the goal is scored, Spain will overtake the score to 3:2, and then Raul, the fifth player, will score a penalty kick, then Spain will enter the final with its head held high; Enter the sixth round of "Sudden Death".

The Spanish fans in front of the TV and at the scene were already extremely nervous, and some of them even began to tremble involuntarily, completely uncontrollable.

The Spanish fans at the scene also clenched their hands, not daring to make a little noise to affect Reyes. Of course, the Portuguese fans will not be stingy with their boos.

Reyes was walking, and he didn't forget to give a thumbs up to the Spanish fans in the stands.

"Can make such an action—he doesn't seem to be very nervous, right?" The narrator was a little puzzled.

But the real situation is that Reyes is already extremely nervous!

He could hear the sound of his own heart beating, and he couldn't even walk. The movement towards the stands was just a relaxing movement of his own.

But this action made the opponent's goalkeeper furious. He felt that Reyes was belittling him, so he decided to watch all of Reyes's actions until the moment he took the penalty.

Reyes walked into the penalty area, and the football had already been placed near the penalty spot. Instead of leaning over and swinging the ball with his hands, he hooked the football with his feet and stepped on it again, just like that Football settled on the penalty spot.

"This action... is so random..." the commentator sighed.

Reyes also surprised the audience and opponents by completing the movement of swinging the ball so easily.

Reyes, who finished playing the football, looked at the opponent's goalkeeper, and the opponent's eyes were a little scary.He grins oddly, then steps back to kick.

The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Reyes could take a penalty kick.

Reyes was about to make a run-up, but suddenly frowned, and then he bent forward and walked forward, as if he felt that the football position was not good and he wanted to put it again.

The opponent's goalkeeper also thought it was reasonable, after all, Reyes used his feet to set up the football before.

Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, Reyes suddenly accelerated and kicked the football.

The football flew into the goal from the stunned opponent's goalkeeper. The shot was not fast and the angle was not sharp. The only difference was that Reyes had fooled the goalkeeper.

The boos from the Portuguese fans stopped abruptly.

"Beautifully fooled the goalkeeper! 3:2!" The commentator roared.

The tense Spanish fans who were almost suffocating could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They cheered and vented loudly.

And the pressure has been completely on Simao, who took the fifth penalty kick in Portugal. Simao is a winger who played for Benfica. In the previous six seasons, Simao was the top scorer in the Benfica team. He is short. , Known for his sharp wing breakthroughs and long shots.This competition seems to be the time for the Portuguese winger to perform.

"The most critical moment has come..."

"Portugal's last free throw player was Simão. Only by kicking the ball into the goal can Portugal continue to stay on the field!"

Simão became the center of attention, and the winger was completely at ease. He walked up to the ball, set up the football, and waited for the referee's whistle.

Casillas stood in front of the goal, arms outstretched.

The referee stepped back, and then he blew his whistle!
"beep!"

Simao runs up and swings his feet!

The football rushed forward against the turf and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. Casillas rushed to the right side of the goal at the same time...

The football hit Casey's chest and flew high, over the crossbar...

"Goal!! Spain knocked out Portugal! They made it to the final!!"
