Chapter 515: Penalty Shootout

RED's right midfielder dribbled all the way to the BLU penalty area and fired a volley before the BLU defender could get up. Although in the end, the ball did not hit the goal frame, but it also caused an exclamation from the scene.

"After intercepting in the air, he directly threw the ball to launch a fast attack," Lu Hang, who ran back after the penalty corner, saw the entire fast attack process of the red team, and couldn't help but look back at Xiao Yao who was standing on the line of the red team's big penalty area, "This is really a goalkeeper who can only be learned by others for half a day?"

Thanks to the presence of Lu, the blue team has a clear technical advantage. In the next game, the field returned to the situation where the blue team besieged the red team. However, the red team's defensive purpose is very strong, and with Xiao Yao, an "open" goalkeeper, the blue team has never scored.

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Lu Hang temporarily shook off Wen Zonglang's close defense through continuous feints, and then came directly from outside the penalty area with a long shot. Because it was a rush shot after getting rid of it, the angle of Lu Hang's shot was relatively positive, Xiao Yao moved a step slightly, and held Lu Hang's shot directly in his arms.

After Xiao Yao got the ball, he immediately rushed out again, ran to the edge of the big penalty area and threw the football to his teammates on the left side. The left midfielder of the red team received the ball and immediately burst forward with the ball and attacked the blue team's penalty area. However, this time the BLU team did not attack from a corner, and the defenders remained in their own half, and it didn't take long for the RED team to cut off the ball at the feet of the left midfielder through the clip defense, and did not allow the RED team's counterattack to form a shot.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Luhang found a defensive gap in the RED team defenders and stealthily passed the football into the RED team's penalty area. Gao Bo, who understood it, cut diagonally into the RED penalty area and received a pass from Lu Hang behind the RED defender. However, when he looked up at the red team's goal and was about to shoot, he found that Xiao Yao had abandoned the goal, rushed in front of him, and fell to the ground and pounced.

Gao Bo just raised his foot, and before he could make a shot, Xiao Yao had already pounced on the football at Gao Bo's feet into his arms, and also brought down Gao Bo, who was standing on one foot.

"Penalty!" He Cheng immediately raised his hand and shouted.

The referee ignored it, and even Lu Hang couldn't help but shake his head. Although Gao Bo was knocked down by Xiao Yao in the penalty area, they all clearly saw that Xiao Yao pounced on the football first, and then brought down Gao Bo, in this case, as long as anyone who knows the ball knows that it is impossible to punish Xiao Yao for a foul.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yao, who stood up first, held the football in one hand, and reached out to Gao Bo who fell to the ground with the other hand.

"It's okay!" Gao Bo reached out and grabbed Xiao Yao's outstretched hand, was pulled up by Xiao Yao, shook his head and smiled, "You're really fierce this time, and you're not afraid that I will kick you?"

"When you are a goalkeeper, you only have football in your eyes, you just kick me, I can't help but come out!" Xiao Yao smiled and blinked, "Besides, I believe in you, you won't deliberately kick me when you can't kick the ball, we don't have a grudge!"

In the 25th minute of the game, Lu Airlines again dribbled the ball in front of the red team's penalty area. This time, Gao Bo, who played as a striker, took the initiative to retreat to the penalty area not far from Lu Hang to cooperate with Lu Hang. Lu Hang dribbled the ball horizontally and approached Gao Bo's side. Gao Bo was sideways and used a single-block tactic similar to basketball to block Wen Zonglang, who was defending Lu Hang.

Cao Bin over there was on the same side as Wen Zonglang, and he didn't have time to come over to make up for Lu Hang, and Lu Hang in front of the penalty area was also in an unguarded state.

"Liu Jun, don't go out! Keep an eye on your own people!" Xiao Yao shouted to the central defender who was going out to defend Lu Hang.

At this time, the three defenders of the red team are all in the penalty area, the two full-backs are far away from Lu Hang, and the central defender in the middle is the closest to Lu Hang, but he also stands with another striker of the blue team, if he goes out to make up for the defense, the blue team striker in the box will be unmarked.

The unguarded Lu Hang could continue to rush into the penalty area with the ball at this moment, but he didn't do so, but rubbed a curved ball on the side of the goal and hit the ball towards the goal guarded by Xiao Yao.

Lu's shot was a different from the previous free-kick. Without the blockage of the human wall, and there is no need to consider the factor of falling over the human wall, the football is turned to the goal at the height of the player's waist.

The ball arced wide and looked like it was going to be out of the net at first, but it turned halfway through and flew towards the left post of the goal. However, Xiao Yao's judgment was very accurate, and he pounced sideways and saved Lu Hang's shot again.

This time, the football that was saved by Xiao Yao fell in the penalty area. RED's left-back took control of the ball before anyone else did, turned and kicked the ball towards the opponent's half, and RED's right midfielder immediately started chasing the ball in the air. The RED team's right midfielder didn't get the left-back's clearance, and the ball was still picked up by the BLU defender.

In the final five minutes of the game, the BLU team did not have any more decent shots on goal, and the RED team was unable to counter-attack. When the thirty minutes of play ended, the two teams ended up with a 0-0 draw.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the RED team members burst into cheers. The three games this time must be decided, there was no overtime after the regular game was drawn, and it went directly to the penalty shootout, and with Xiao Yao's performance, the red team was full of confidence in the next penalty shootout.

After a two-minute break to prepare for the two teams, the penalty shootout began after the two teams determined the list and order of players to take the penalty. The referee designated the goal to be used in the penalty shootout, and the captains of the two teams, Lu Hang and Cao Bin, once again used their fists instead of drawing lots to determine the order of the two teams' free throws. This time, Cao Bin lost to Lu Hang, which means that Lu Hang's blue team will be punished first.

The first player of the blue team to take the penalty was captain Lu Hang. Holding the football to the penalty spot, Xiao Yao stood in the middle of the goal line with gloves.

Lu Hang put the football on the penalty spot, took a few steps back, turned his head to look at the referee, signaled that he was ready, and looked at Xiao Yao and the goal in front of him, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.

This is a football game in a variety show, and there are many funny highlights that reflect the characteristics of variety shows. Although he is not the captain, as the nominal "head coach" of the team, Xiao Yao behaves very seriously. In addition to showing a few incredible saves, the rest of the time was also loudly directing his teammates. So far in this game, none of the funny highlights have been contributed by Xiao Yao.

Just when everyone thought that Xiao Yao was ready to show his goalkeeper skills wholeheartedly in this game, forgetting that this was a variety show, Xiao Yao was a demon again.

Seeing Lu Hang, who was about to take a penalty, looked at himself, Xiao Yao, who was standing on the goal line, stood with his feet apart, his lower limbs suddenly twisted left and right, and he also squatted and stood up from time to time, dancing a jaw-dropping weird dance.

"Poof~Haha!" burst into laughter at the scene.

"Xiao Yao, what are you doing here?" Cao Bin asked loudly with a smile.

"Is this dancing?" Ren Bing also asked.

"It's a magical dance that can bless me with a penalty!" Xiao Yao laughed.

When he said this sentence with a smile, Xiao Yao's heart was actually in tears. The dance that Xiao Yao danced was the "noodle dance" danced by Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek in the penalty shootout of the 05 Champions League final in his previous life. The Champions League final that year was a pain in the hearts of all Milan fans, and Xiao Yao, whether in his previous life or in his present life, was not a Liverpool fan, but a Milan fan!

"Ahh

"Xiao Lu, don't believe Xiao Yao's nonsense, he is interfering with you!" He Cheng, who saw Xiao Yao's purpose, shouted to Lu Hang, "This is Xiao Yao's psychological tactic!"

"This is not just a psychological tactic, but also a physiological tactic!" Cao Bin pointed to Xiao Yao, who was still dancing the "noodle dance", and smiled, "Watching Xiao Yao dance this dance, his eyes have to be dazzled by him!"

"Di~" The referee also seemed to feel that Xiao Yao's dance was a little spicy, and blew the whistle in his hand, signaling that Lu Hang could make free throws.

Lu Hang also seemed to be annoyed by Xiao Yao, quickly took two steps, stepped on the side of the football with his left foot, picked up his right foot and kicked it towards the football.

At the same time as the football flew up, Xiao Yao also stopped dancing and quickly fell to the ground and pounced. Lu Hang's shot hit the bottom left corner of the goal, and Xiao Yao happened to save the bottom left corner. Although the ball speed is very fast, it is not a dead end in the absolute sense, and this goal is smaller than the standard goal of eleven people, Xiao Yao's action is also very fast, so Xiao Yao successfully saved Lu Hang's penalty.

Penalties in the shoot-out are not retaken. Although the football that was saved by Xiao Yao rolled back in front of Lu Hang and was kicked into the goal by Lu Hang, in terms of score, the first round penalty of the blue team was still recorded as no score.

"Oh yes~" The RED players all let out a burst of cheers.

"Ah~" The players of the blue team collectively let out a sigh.

Xiao Yao performed well in the game, which brought a lot of psychological pressure to the players of the blue team. The blue team arranged Lu Hang, the most skilled player, to take the first penalty, hoping that Lu Hang could give the blue team a good start and tell everyone that Xiao Yao's goal is not impossible to break, so as to improve everyone's self-confidence. Now Lu Hang's first penalty was saved by Xiao Yao, which not only boosted the morale of the red team, but also made the psychological pressure of the blue team players greater.

Except for the penalty taker and the goalkeeper, everyone else was placed by the referee to stand at least nine metres away from the penalty spot. After the first round of free throws for the blue team, Xiao Yao and Lu Hang had to go back to the rest of their teammates, while the first penalty player of the red team and the goalkeeper of the blue team lined up in front of the goal to take the first round of penalties of the red team.

"Awesome job!" the first penalty taker on the red team was Cao Bin, who put his arm around Xiao Yao's shoulders and praised as he staggered past Xiao Yao.

"Hey~" Xiao Yao smiled proudly.

"You kid, what a cow!" After walking into the team, Wen Zonglang also rubbed Xiao Yao's hair affectionately, and praised with a smile.

"Brother Lang, your hairstyle has been messed up by you!" Xiao Yao deliberately glared at Wen Zonglang with disgust, stretched out his hand to stroke his hair and said, "I don't want to be imaged!"

"Where do you have any hairstyles for these short hairs?" Wen Zonglang looked at Xiao Yao amusedly, and reached out again to rub Xiao Yao's hair, "No matter how much you rub it, it can't be messed up." ”

"Go!" Xiao Yao glanced at Wen Zonglang with disdain and leaned back. Because of his height, Xiao Yao easily dodged Wen Zonglang's hand that reached out for the second time.

"Hey, you kid is still putting up a score!" Wen Zonglang said to the students next to him, "Let's go together!"

"Okay!" Wen Zonglang said this, and the students next to him who were still embarrassed or didn't dare to attack Xiao Yao, the star, all stretched out their hands to Xiao Yao.

In stark contrast to the joyous uproar on the RED side, the BLU side was much quieter. Everyone was patting Lu Hang on the shoulder and comforting Lu Hang who missed the penalty.

"Di~"

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, everyone immediately turned their attention to the goal.

After hearing the whistle, Cao Bin took a step forward, and then froze and assumed an exaggerated running posture. Just when there was another burst of laughter at the scene, Cao Bin suddenly started and kicked the football vigorously.

The goalkeeper of the blue team was not affected by Cao Bin's funny moves, and reacted immediately after Cao Bin kicked the football. However, his skills are limited, and his action is not particularly standard, although the palm of his hand touched the boccia ball kicked by Cao Bin, but it did not block the football back. The ball changed direction and eventually rolled into the goal.

"Di~"

The referee made a gesture to signal that the goal was limited.

"Yay~"

The red team let out another cheer.

After the penalty kicks of the first round, the red team took a 1-0 lead.

In the second round, the blue team took the first penalty, and this time the blue team's main penalty player was Gao Bo.

When changing positions, Xiao Yao also congratulated Cao Bin, but after the two staggered, Xiao Yao suddenly turned around, sneaked up from behind Cao Bin, and brushed Cao Bin's hair, which also messed up Cao Bin's hair.

"I'll go!" Cao Bin turned around in surprise and looked at Xiao Yao.

"I learned it from Brother Lang! Anyway, your hairstyle will definitely be messy when you go back!" Xiao Yao quickly ran towards the goal, turning back as he ran.

"Haha~" There was another burst of laughter at the scene.

Before Gao Bo's free throw, Xiao Yao danced the "noodle dance" again, which also caused laughter from everyone at the scene.

Gao Bo didn't smile, the expression on his face was very serious. However, after the referee blew the whistle, Gao Bo's football failed to break through the goal guarded by Xiao Yao. His burst shot to the middle was hit by Xiao Yao, who was standing still and didn't move, with a combined fist.

"Yay~"

The RED team cheered for the third time.

It was the red team's turn to take the penalty.

The second player on the red team was Moon Jong Lang. Before the free throw, Wen Zonglang's expression was very serious, but when he made the free throw, Wen Zonglang slipped his support foot when he kicked the ball. He slipped and fell to the ground, and at the same time his right foot touched the football on the ground as he fell. The football was stabbed by Wen Zonglang and slowly rolled towards the goal. In the face of such an incoming ball, the goalkeeper of the blue team took two steps forward, bent down and picked up the football on the ground.

"Referee, this doesn't count, I ask for a heavy penalty!" Wen Zonglang, who was lying on the ground, immediately raised his hand and asked.

"No!" the referee shook his head, "According to the rules, you've made the free throw this time!"

"Yay~"

This time, it was finally the BLU's turn to cheer.

After the first two rounds of penalty kicks, the red team still led 1-0. This was followed by a penalty kick in the third round.

"I'm sorry!" Wen Zonglang apologized to Xiao Yao as he staggered past Xiao Yao.

"It's okay!" Xiao Yao patted Wen Zonglang's shoulder and said confidently, "With me here, we can't lose!"

"Thank you!" Wen Zonglang breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, what you owe me, you have to pay it back!" Xiao Yao suddenly wiped off the headscarf on Wen Zonglang's head and rubbed his hair.

Wen Zonglang has semi-long hair, and it is already a little deformed after being wrapped in a turban, and after Xiao Yao's gloved hand rubbing for a while, this hairstyle is really unsightly.

"Xiao Yao!" Wen Zonglang covered his head in surprise, turned his head and roared at Xiao Yao, who was running away.
