Chapter 44 Penalty Shootout
"The game was good, but Hoffenheim actually dragged the game to a penalty shootout. Now the outcome is uncertain." Liu Jianhong was very excited. He was different from Director Tao, who was a die-hard Bayern fan.

"You don't need to watch, Bayern will definitely win." Director Tao is still confident, "There is a difference between a mature team and a young team."

In the competition field, the captains of both sides are ready to choose the order, and whoever takes the penalty first has a certain advantage.Generally speaking, both sides make free throws in turn, and the side that makes the penalty first has a higher winning rate.

Jiangshan quickly gathered players, and the starting five tigers who played free throws had to be decided quickly.

"If we go first, Wiese comes on first, then Hitzlsperger, Rahn, Kuranyi and center back Instrom. If they get free throws first, Wiese doesn't play, the others come on and Kay comes on last."

Rahn rushed over and drew the initiative.At the critical moment, good news finally came. Hoffenheim could have ended the game in regular time, but it was dragged to overtime and then to a penalty shootout.

Jiang Shan quickly gave Wei Ze some advice, "They don't know you very well, just do as I tell you, and you'll be fine."

Wei Ze listened to Jiang Shan's whisper, nodded, and excitedly licked the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I will definitely do it."

Tuchel rushed over, "Jiangshan, their players are settled."

Jiang Shan snatched Tuchel's list, glanced at it, quickly took out a small note, and wrote a few lines. At this time, the camera was very smart to capture the shot.

"What is Jiangshan doing? Arranging the order of appearance? Not like, it has already been arranged." Liu Jianhong wondered, "Could it be adjusted according to Bayern's order of appearance?"

"It's possible, after all, Bayern has experience. It should be the first time for Hoffenheim to take a penalty kick." Director Tao was a little nervous, "Who do you think will win?"

"It doesn't matter who wins, the key is to present a wonderful game to the audience friends."

"I think today's game was very exciting, although there were no goals. But Hoffenheim's arrangement caused huge troubles for Bayern, and it has already won the audience and won the game."

"Jiangshan gave Wei Ze a note. I don't know if it was a penalty kick." Liu Jianhong had sharp eyes and immediately caught the movement of the camera. "Jiangshan arranged the game very carefully. Perhaps, in today's penalty match, Hoffenheim still has a chance."

"The chance is not big, Bayern's strength and psychology are advantages." Director Tao is sure.

The penalty shootout begins.The Hoffenheim team took the penalty first, and the first player to play was goalkeeper Tim Weiser.

Wei Ze stood in front of the penalty spot, looking at Dreyer, who is also the goalkeeper, with a strange expression and a little trance. "I also know that the boss can only think of this trick. It is dangerous, but it will definitely work."

Dreyer also felt absurd. It turned out to be the goalkeeper who took the penalty?Does he have experience?Looking at his eyes, he didn't dare to look at me. Instead, he kept glancing to the left and right. It seemed that he was inexperienced.

"It's really too tender to drive the ducks to the shelves." Heathfield on the sidelines thought excitedly.

Weiser runs up and touches the ball, while Dreyer dives sideways to the left.

The whole person threw it, but the ball appeared in the middle, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and fell into the net.

"Oh... what a surprise. There are two consecutive accidents that no one expected. They must be Jiangshan's arrangement." Liu Jianhong shouted, "The first accident is that Hoffenheim's first player to play is the goalkeeper. The mentality of the Bayern players will definitely change."

"Second accident, Wiese dared to kick a penalty kick with a spoon. It was completely a gamble. If Raeder didn't make a save, he would definitely be yellow."

"But fortunately, Raeder made a save." Director Tao said angrily.

Bayern's first player to play was Frings, a veteran who stabilized the morale of the army.

Weiser faced Frings, thinking about Jiangshan's note, and made a sideways attack at the moment of the free throw.lower left.

"Weize was right, but couldn't stop the ball from going into the net. It's a pity."

"This is Frings' strength. The ball hits the goal post and bounces in." Director Tao is very satisfied. "The only fly in the ointment is too much pursuit of angles, and there is a certain risk."

The second player for Hoffenheim was Hitzlsperger.Keep hitting.

Bayern's second player is still a veteran, Sagnol.The veteran will lead the formation, scoring consecutive goals, and stabilizing the morale of the army.Sagnol kept stepping on the penalty spot, retreating, and starting.

shoot!Weiser reacted almost simultaneously, this time in the lower right corner.

"Oh...oh my god, Wiese saved Sagnol's penalty, his terrible reflexes." Instructor Tao was moved, "His saving action was definitely guessed before. The left side just now, and now the right side should be one left and one right."

"Yes, there is a lot of luck in penalty shootouts, and many goalkeepers are used to making good guesses. No matter who the penalty is, I will rush to the right side, and I will save it. If I am lucky, if I can't save it, I will resign myself to fate."

The score became 2:1, with Hoffenheim leading. After 5 free throws, there may be a result.

Captain Lahn was the third player to play. He was not in a hurry, he measured it with his feet, and hit his heel hard a few times, causing the lawn to be dented.

Then start, shoot, and move in one go.

Raeder still failed to save the ball, but he also judged the right direction, which was not easy.

The score became 3:1.

"Bayern is under a lot of pressure. If Wiese continues to save penalties, the game will be over." Director Tao panicked, "Penalty shootouts have too much luck, and it is obvious that Hoffenheim's luck is better today."

Weize faced Hargreaves, who was Bayern's third player, and also judged the right direction, but failed to save the ball. Hargreaves' penalty angle was tricky and he couldn't catch it.

3:2, Bayern is catching up with the score again and still has a chance.

Kuranyi was the fourth to appear on the stage, and he also found the position where Lahn had just stood, stomping on the lawn, making strange movements.

Raeder measured his footsteps and secretly judged the opponent's shooting angle.See Kuranyi start, shoot, and fly to catch the ball at the same time.

Huh?Why is the direction wrong?

Raeder misjudged the direction and the ball went into the net.

4:2, the final decisive moment, if Wiese can save Misimovic's shot, the game will be over.

Misimovic was under a lot of pressure. In addition to scoring goals, he also prayed that Raedel could save Instrom's shot.Wei Ze was also under a lot of pressure, and he recalled the note Jiang Shan gave him again.

Misimovic, a striker, takes a penalty kick to the upper left corner habitually.Misimovic took a few deep breaths, and under the watchful eyes of all the fans, he started and ran up.

Step on the spot!

The body tilted and almost fell, and the right foot touched the ball lightly, and the ball slowly rolled towards the goal.

Wei Ze controlled the urge to dive and picked up the ball. It was probably the easiest save in the world, right?

Lahn and Kuranyi smiled at each other, "Brother, it must be your fault!"

　Thanks to grandma's shrimp rolls and 37033 for the reward!
