Chapter 073: Penalty Game
Casillas' eyes narrowed.
He spent most of his life on the goal line, and he has seen countless football heroes, I don't know how many shocking world waves have been blasted at him, I don't know how many single knives have come at him, and I don't know how many penalty takers he has faced.
However, holding the ball at this time, the gentle smile and calm expression on Ding Yue's face seemed to make him feel worse than those penalty takers in the past.
In an instant, he had a higher evaluation of Ding Yue, and he was more vigilant about the danger of this Chinese, and the kid who had occasionally flashed before was probably just a conjecture of good luck and disappeared without a trace.
Yes, under the stunned eyes of Simeone Boggs on the sidelines, Courtovalgabi and others on the field, Ding Yue walked to the penalty spot with the ball in his hand.
After Casillas' statement was invalid, he stepped forward and stood face to face with Ding Yue, looking at each other.
There was a real sword light in the air.
Ding Yue always remembered Courtois's advice, the penalty taker who dares to look at the goalkeeper is the most powerful!
But no matter how you suggest it to yourself.
The pressure is still objective.
Theoretically, the pressure on the penalty taker is different in different situations. Ding Yue once read in the newspaper that there is data that shows that scoring the ball can ensure that the team wins immediately, and the scoring rate of the penalty team is as high as 92. However, if this penalty is not scored, it will lead to the defeat of the team, and the scoring rate will immediately plummet to 60. Although the data is not necessarily accurate, the probability of missing a penalty under pressure is much greater than the icing on the cake.
Although Ding Yue missed this penalty, he would not let Atletico Madrid lose the game.
But one can imagine what Simeone's fury would be.
As for the fans... Ding Yue has scored two goals... Isn't it okay to be parallel?
Call...
Ding Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and waited for the referee's whistle.
Casillas also returned to the goal-line. For penalties, he firmly believes that he knows better than the stunned young man opposite, and he knows a lot more!
In general, the pressure is highest on the short distance towards the penalty spot, during which the players have tense muscles, high concentration and, more importantly, if there is outside interference at this time, it is simply the last straw that crushes the players.
But, just now... Casillas walked up to him and tried to do some interference, but got ... But it was this kid's disdainful smile!
The gloves were already full of sweat, and although the new gloves were designed to perspire, Casillas could still feel that the inside of his gloves was completely soaked.
With his right hand raised, he picked up a strand of hair from his forehead, and Casillas bent down.
Ding Yue once again set his eyes on Casillas.
He knew that the battle-hardened goalkeeper had seen countless penalty takers, and he had seen countless ways to take penalties.
But for Ding Yue, the penalty... He was most impressed by Robert Baggio.
In the 1994 World Cup, Baggio put in an impressive performance in that tournament, taking Italy to the final, who had not been favored before the tournament.
Against Nigeria, Baggio scored the equaliser in the 88th minute and scored the winning goal in the quarterfinals against Spain in the 102nd minute, Baggio's goal in the 88th minute helped Italy advance to the semi-finals Baggio's performance continued, and in the semi-finals against Bulgaria, Baggio scored two more goals to almost lead Italy to the final!
Baggio took his heroism to the extreme, and only Pele in 1958 and Maradona in 1986 seemed to be on par with Baggio's performance at the '94 World Cup.
In the final against Brazil, after 120 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides drew and went to a penalty shootout.
Baggio takes the penalty in the fifth round that decided the outcome of the game... Flying off the crossbar, the champion also moved away from Italy and Baggio.
The melancholy back after the penalty kick in the second tower final has become a classic moment in the history of the World Cup.
it!
Ding Yue actually remembered such an unlucky picture at this time, and he even clearly remembered the sentence that Baggio later wrote in his autobiography: "I failed that time, and that penalty has been bothering me all this time." It was undoubtedly the worst moment of my career, and I still dream that reality will change. If I had the option to delete some memories that I didn't want to keep, the first thing I would want to delete would be the memories of that penalty. ”
Shaking his head, Ding Yue wanted to shake this slightly ominous memory out of his mind.
When dueling, every subtle movement is captured by the opponent.
Casillas saw the flaws exposed by Ding Yue at this moment, no matter what he thought in his heart, he must have had some kind of thought that he shouldn't have, and even had been shaken by his own information!
"Hey, come on, I'll pounce to the left!"
Casillas shouted with a laugh!
Although Ding Yue's Spanish is not fully familiar, he still understands this sentence.
The penalty spot is only 11 meters away from the goal, and the goalkeeper is completely standing on the goal line, and the taller goalkeeper can directly block the way up and down the ball, and if the direction of the ball is judged at this time, then any point on the body can block the ball.
Ding Yue clenched his fists... Damn the psychological suggestion!
So a good goalkeeper can induce the opponent's shot direction. If the goalkeeper wants the opponent to kick to the left, then he will move 510 cm to the right. Psychologists have said that the shooter does not choose half and half directions, but prefers the side with more space to shoot.
Casillas seemed to know this, and as he spoke, he took a step to his left.
In the penalty shootout, in fact, the pressure on the goalkeeper is not great, because there is nothing to blame for the goalkeeper if he can't save the penalty, but the players who take the penalty are different, and once the penalty is missed, he will be frantically blamed and criticized, and there is no doubt that he is the vulnerable group in this decisive battle.
Ding Yue began to step back, counting five steps. Ding Yue stopped, his feet slightly apart, but his fists were still clenched.
Sweat dripping from his cheeks, did not affect his vision, Ding Yue ignored it, at this time, any superfluous action will make his spirit that he finally regained and dissipated again...
Focus, think... Then think about how to take a penalty kick in those short ten or twenty seconds!
Finally, Ding Yue took another deep breath, spread his hands lightly, vertically at his legs, squinted his eyes, and looked to the right of Casillas.
Casillas's eyes narrowed! Dare to play psychological tactics with me!
Casillas raised his left hand...
Ding Yue laughed... Suddenly, he found a way to relieve his pressure, and that was to tease Casillas like a child, as if it were just a game.
Honk!
The referee suddenly screamed!
It's time to start taking free throws!
