Tang Zheng scored the ball with a spoon penalty in the penalty shootout, which hit goalkeeper Krul very hard, and he looked frustrated in the broadcast screen.

To be fair, the spoon penalty was a big blow to the goalkeeper's confidence, and it is understandable why Krull was so frustrated, especially since he danced the water snake dance in the face of Tang Zheng's penalty earlier.

Tang Zheng scored a spoon penalty, which undoubtedly gave him a resounding slap in the face.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leef Lang said: "Don is a top player with a lot of self-confidence and a big heart, and it was routine to use a spoon penalty to equalise on aggregate in the crucial fifth round of penalties, not amazing. ”

Speaking of this, Marcel Leif changed his voice and shook his head: "But Sun's penalty in the second round did not score, which made the Chinese team fall into a comprehensive passivity, unless ...... Yan was able to save Klaas Jan Huntelaar's fifth-round penalty, otherwise it would have been the Netherlands who would have progressed to the last four. ”

Between the words, Huntelaar, who took the fifth penalty on behalf of the Dutch team, had already hugged his teammates and walked to the left side of the broadcast screen.

Tang Zheng scored the ball and did not turn around and walk to the midfield at the first time, but walked towards goalkeeper Yan Junling.

Different from the cheering of other teammates, Tang Zheng put his right hand on Yan Junling's shoulder and said lightly: "Don't think about saving the opponent's penalty, there is only so much you can do, relax, this is a direct confrontation between the striker and the goalkeeper, if you are more nervous than the opposing player, then ...... We're going to lose, of course...... If you lose, you lose, and getting to the quarterfinals is already the best result we can get. ”

After that, Tang Zheng gave Yan Junling another hug: "You can, don't forget...... You are the first Chinese player in Asia to become the main goalkeeper in a top European club, and you are proud of yourself!"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's voice was obviously more nervous, he looked at the broadcast screen of Huntelaar a little worried: "The 1/8 final between the Netherlands and Mexico had a controversial penalty in injury time, Huntelaar withstood a lot of pressure and scored the ball, the spear and shield of the Ruhr derby met for the first time in the penalty shootout of the 1/4 finals of the World Cup, can Yan Junling save Huntelaar's penalty?"

"If Yan Junling saves a penalty, we can also drag the penalty shootout into penalty overtime!" The commentator Xu Yang was also nervous, and solemnly whispered: "Come on! Yan Junling!!"

Yan Junling stood on the goal line as calmly as before, constantly recalling what Tang Zheng said in his mind: "Have your own pride." ”

That's right!

He has his own pride!

When Tang Zheng was still in Dortmund, he could still rely on Tang Zheng, but with Tang Zheng leaving, he could only rely on himself.

Now standing on the goal line one-on-one with Huntelaar, you can only rely on yourself!

Suddenly, he felt as if the frenzied atmosphere of the game had completely disappeared, nothing could be heard, and the whole world became extremely clear.

Yan Junling, who put aside distracting thoughts, naturally spread his arms, and his two legs stood on tiptoe in small steps, preparing to make a save at any time.

Huntelaar has a lot of experience, energy and energy, and he is not nervous when it matters most, and he has already thought about how to take the next penalty when he is heading towards the penalty - using feints to shake the center of gravity of Yan Junling's body, and then kick the football in the opposite direction.

※※※

"The fateful duel between the striker and the goalkeeper is about to begin, who will have the last laugh?"

British Sky Commentator Andy Gray mused.

As soon as the words fell, the referee on duty, Marco Rodriguez, blew the whistle: "Beep~"

Huntelaar began to run, one step, two steps, and the third step was about 30 centimeters to the left of the football, and he picked up his right foot and kicked the football.

At the same time, Huntelaar's afterglow was focused on Yan Junling.

Yan Junling, who had been standing on tiptoe in small steps, gathered all his strength on the forefoot of his right foot, and the center of gravity of his body leaned towards his right side, which was the left side of Huntelaar's perspective.

"Right!"

Attention Yan Junling made a prediction in advance, and Huntelaar didn't think much about it, and kicked the ball to the right side of the goal with his right foot.

Because Yan Junling had already made a prediction, Huntelaar did not deliberately pursue the angle for the control of the angle, because the penalty spot was only 9.15 meters away from the goal, and it was obviously too late for Yan Junling, who made a save in advance, to change his body's center of gravity to save the ball.

So......

Still too young!

Huntelaar feels like he has the win!

However, there are exceptions to everything, Yan Junling's body center of gravity did have a movement to tilt to the right in advance, but his body center of gravity was not completely handed over.

In other words, it is a feint that his body is tilted to the right!

At the moment when Huntelaar's right foot kicked the football, Yan Junling's right leg was violently forced, and the change of the center of gravity of his body stagnated, and the huge reaction force fed back from the ground made the whole person rush to the left.

“Shit！！”

The slow-moving soccer ball rolled against the turf to the right side of the goal, and Huntelaar cursed his mother.

Yan Junling's goal-line skills are very good, even if his height and long legs affect the ground, he can still do something in the face of Huntelaar's slow penalty......

Chinese fans watching the game through the broadcast saw Yan Junling pounce on the left side of his body, which is the right side of the broadcast screen, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Half a second later, He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 Commentary, stood up abruptly with both hands on the commentary seat, surging passionately, raising his arms and shouting: "Pounce out! Pounce out! Yan Junling saved the Chinese team! 4:4!! The two sides entered the penalty shootout overtime !!"

"Whoa—"

The Chinese fans at Xinshuiyuan Stadium were excited like children, dancing with their hands.

Yan Junling, who pounced on the football, rarely jumped up, raised his arms and shouted, looking up to the sky and roaring!

Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team in front of the visiting team's coach's box, also looked very excited in the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, he raised his fists and struggled to hit his right fist, venting the unhappiness in his heart.

Of course, Lippi didn't get carried away.

Even if Yan Junling saves Huntelaar's fifth penalty, it will be difficult to win this penalty shootout, because the first five players who take the penalty are the last five players of the Chinese team so far, which means that he has no confidence in the main server of the penalty shootout overtime.

The psychological quality of the players who play in the Chinese Super League is obviously not comparable to that of the players in Europe, and the Dutch players have no worries in this regard.

Not far away, the Dutch bench was not particularly disappointed, but at least a little depressed.

As long as Huntelaar converts the penalty, the Netherlands will reach the last four.

Now the penalty is not scored, and the penalty automatically goes to penalty overtime......

The Dutch coach Louis van Gaal was shown in the broadcast with his arms folded around his chest, his brows furrowed, his eyes looking at the pitch, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Van Vincent, the commentator of the Dutch National Sports Television, was a little unhappy, but his tone was not discouraged, and he was still full of vitality: "The pressure has come back to the Chinese team, and I believe that Tim Krul can make a big show and save the Chinese team's penalty!"

※※※

The Chinese fans thousands of miles away were completely boiling at the moment when Yan Junling saved the penalty, and the temperature of the whole country seemed to rise in that instant, and the deafening huge shouts echoed far away in every city.

"Well done!"

Every excited Chinese fan can't help but praise in their hearts.

But the next problem remains, and the penalty kick for sudden death is still started by the Chinese team.

Many pessimistic Chinese fans will inevitably think that the psychological quality of Chinese players is generally poor, otherwise where did so many black three minutes come from?

Excluding Wu Sanshi, who was substituted, the five major foreign internationals were all ranked in the top five in the penalty shootout, which means that the remaining players who took the penalty will be all Chinese Super League players.

Damn it!

Huntelaar, who did not score a penalty, was very frustrated, and goalkeeper Krul took the initiative to comfort the big brother of the national team, patting his chest and saying: "Don't be discouraged, believe me! I came on the field for the penalty shootout! Next, I will definitely save the penalty kick of the Chinese team! It is only a matter of time before I advance to the semi-finals!"

"-Tim!" Huntelaar looked up at Krull and said solemnly, "It's up to you!"

"Leave it to me!"

Krull said confidently.

At the same time, the frenzied atmosphere at the New Water Source Stadium was still the same, and no one expected that the penalty shootout would come to the sudden death of extra time, so the frenzied atmosphere became suffocating, and the tension was difficult to breathe.

The player who took the penalty on behalf of the Chinese team was Wu Xi, who had relatively good footwork in the team, but in fact, Lippi did not have much choice in the penalty shootout list.

Five players in Europe will definitely be the starting players for penalty kicks, and the remaining six terms will be ranked according to their feelings.

Liu Jian, who played in the final stage, is a panacea in the backcourt, with limited footwork and ability, Li Xuepeng, Feng Xiaoting and Ren Hang are even more so, and the delicacy of footwork is even worse than that of goalkeeper Yan Junling, so Wu Xi, who has relatively good footwork, is ranked sixth, and Yan Junling is ranked seventh.

"Relax, relax, believe in yourself!"

Tang Zheng, as the captain on the field, used his unique self-confidence to incite Wu Xi and make him forget his nervousness for a while.

Indeed, it is undeniable that Wu Xi did not have any nervousness when Tang Zheng and Wu Xi communicated, but as he walked towards the penalty area, the tension returned, as if returning to the penalty shootout in the 1/4 finals of the Asian Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia in 2008.

The same quarter-finals, the same key penalties.

Unlike the Asian Championships in Saudi Arabia, the 1/4 finals of the World Cup are obviously much more important, thinking of the importance of the World Cup, Wu Xi feels that the strength of the two legs that should be full of strength is slowly draining......

"Relax, relax!!"

Wu Xi kept giving himself psychological hints, but the huge boos created by the Dutch fans made him very uncomfortable and difficult to adjust his mentality.

In the blink of an eye, he had already walked to the penalty kick.

Goalkeeper Krull adjusted very quickly and was not frustrated by Tang Zheng's spoon penalty, and he continued his performance - dancing the water snake dance in front of Wu Xi.

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV were speechless when they watched Krull's 'ugly' water snake dance, and they couldn't help but think - aren't you tired after dancing for so long?

“are-you-ok?”

Referee Marco Rodriguez saw that Wu Xi was unmoved by his gestures, raised his eyebrows, and asked unhappily.

Wu Xi immediately reacted and nodded, "OK!OK!!"

This detail is in everyone's eyes, and He Wei, the central 5 commentator, naturally won't tell the truth, so he had to change the topic: "Except for Sun Jingbo's penalty kick, the other four penalty kicks have all scored, and I think the same is true of Wu Xi's penalty." ”

Tang Zheng, who was standing in the middle line, had a very bad feeling, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He can only grasp the opportunities he can grasp, and the rest of his teammates can only be left to fate......

"Beep~"

Wu Xi, who was pulled back to reality by the referee, had just finished adjusting his mentality when he heard a whistle.

With Krull dancing in front of him, Wu Xi's brain was still blank, and he didn't know which way to kick it.

Left?Right?

Or is it in between?

The running time was very short, and Wu Xi didn't have time to think too much about it, so he could only choose to shoot vigorously, hoping to have the effect of Zhang Linpeng.

“Boom~”

Wu Xi's penalty kick was full of power, like a cannonball, and goalkeeper Krull was still ready to make a preemptive attack, but the penalty distance was too short, he couldn't react, his heart trembled, and his expression froze.

Between the lightning and flint, Krul's heart suddenly froze, because there was a crisp sound of hitting the goalpost in his ears: "Bang-"

The football hit the right post of the goal and bounced back to the field, and Wu Xi, who had completed the shot, half-knelt on the ground, covering his face with his hands, extremely frustrated.

After all, he still failed to defeat his demons......

He Wei, the commentator of CCTV 5, breathed a sigh of relief in a frenzied atmosphere, adjusted his mentality, and calmed the mood of the Chinese fans in front of the TV: "It doesn't matter if you don't score a penalty! We still have Yan Junling!!"

Yan Junling pulled Wu Xi up, comforted him, and then stood on the goal line, looking at the Dutch player Blind who was walking towards the penalty area, and cheered himself up at the same time.

At this moment, the fans in the stadium became nervous.

The same was true for Louis van Gaal and Lippi, with some of the players standing in the middle of the pitch afraid to look in the direction of the penalty.

Big-spec players like Arjen Robben and Sneijder nervously turned their backs and then kept drawing crosses on their chests, hoping that God would hold their team.

Penalty shootouts are different from penalty shootouts, if you score, you will be in the semi-finals, and if you don't score, you will be in the seventh round of penalty shootouts.

Even if Tang Zheng's psychological quality is excellent, he is inevitably a little nervous in his heart.

Of course, the parties Yan Junling and Blind are the same.

In this suffocating frenzy, it is the players' ability to withstand pressure that is tested.

Blind put the ball away, stepped back enough distance and waited for referee Marco Rodriguez to blow the whistle.

"Beep~"

When the whistle blew, Blind ran away, and Yan Junling held his breath. Be prepared to make a save.

Left!

Yan Junling pounced on the left side of his body like a shark smelling blood.

The direction of the football is the same as that of Yan Junling's paving, and everyone in the Xinshuiyuan Stadium is so nervous that they forget to make a sound.

Yan Junling felt that the tip of his left finger touched the football that was running fast against the turf, and he was so nervous that he was too late to exert his strength, and the trajectory of the football changed slightly, but it did not deviate from the goal.

The soccer ball hits the inside edge of the right-hand post of the goal and then crashes into the snow-white net......

5：4

"The game is over! The game is over! The Dutch team finally defeated the Chinese team 5:4 on penalties to advance to the semifinals of this World Cup!" Andy Gray, the British sky commentator, paused, and said passionately: "Although the Chinese team missed the semi-finals of the World Cup, they are still glorious despite their defeat!"
