No. 11 Jeonbuk Hyundai player of Goryeo, under the whistle prompt of Li Xuan, also started his personal running action.

Then, without any obvious change in rhythm, he directly kicked the football on the penalty spot subconsciously!

This ball is not fast, and the arc is not high!

Li Xuan immediately found that Al Sard's goalkeeper made a side save and forcibly saved the ball very smoothly!

It seems that my guess is correct, the psychological quality of this Korean player is average, and he was not very confident before, and this kick just now seems to be a temporary subconscious behavior.

Li Xuan watched with a little curiosity as the Jeonbuk Hyundai players squatted down with their heads covered and blamed themselves, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

Naturally, the Goryeo fans, who were originally extremely excited and thought that Li Xuan might have helped Jeonbuk Hyundai a little, immediately couldn't believe their eyes, and looked at the scene blankly one by one, and the originally prepared celebratory voices on their mouths obviously couldn't shout anymore!

At this time, Li Xuan had to step forward and push the Gaoli player who was a little reluctant to leave for the time being: "Don't be sad, pray for your team first, and don't interfere with the free throws of the Al Sadd players now." ”

The No. 15 Korean player immediately nodded at Li Xuan blankly, and left the scene with red eyes, obviously still unable to accept this defeat psychologically.

Li Xuan witnessed his back, but he was also interested in this cruel penalty shootout. With a deeper understanding and feeling!

Truly. This little piece of football. At a similar important moment, it is indeed as important as Mount Tai for some players, and a carelessness may directly bury all the previous efforts and sweat!

Now, the score on the field has come to 3-2, and the penalty shoot-out Al Sadd is 2-1 after two rounds.

Next came the penalty taker of the third round of Al Sadd.

This should be Al Sadd's midfielder number 40. At this time, if he can score football, it will almost immediately pronounce the death sentence of Jeonbuk Hyundai.

After all, once they are two ahead of the penalty shootout, the pressure on Jeonbuk will increase exponentially. Jeonbuk Hyundai will struggle to keep themselves clean sheets, while Al Sadd will have to play in a row.

However, the No.40 of Al Sadd was also clearly a bit too foot-oriented, and he hit a penalty that didn't rely on speed, but only on angle.

But the ball hit the crossbar of the goal. Jeonbuk Hyundai's goalkeeper didn't save the ball, but the ball flew off first!

Moment. The entire Jeonbuk Hyundai home stadium almost erupted in a tsunami-like celebration, cheering for the team as if it still had a chance to catch up with the score.

This group of Goryeo fans were once again excited, their attitudes were crazy, and their actions were extremely intense, as if they were participating in a war!

When Li Xuan stood on the court, he would feel his ears ringing, and he couldn't get rid of all the expectations from the fans at the scene.

Because Jeonbuk Hyundai got another chance to save the game, as long as the third Jeonbuk player can score the penalty again in front of the fans, then the score of both sides will return to the same running line.

Then, the winner of the game will remain undecided!

However, the No. 33 player, who is obviously the latest player to take a penalty kick with more ardent expectations from fans, also looks less confident at this time.

The fans in the stadium may not be able to notice it, but Li Xuan, who is only one or two meters away from the No. 33 Jeonbuk player, can clearly see the same slightly loose undetermination in his eyes.

The attitude of the two Goryeo players in a row made Li Xuan a little suspicious of the head coach of Goryeo, and he didn't understand why he might as well send foreign aid to punish first, but those foreign aid may not be as serious as the local players in Goryeo in terms of psychology.

Facts have proved that Li Xuan's football referee for so many years is not in vain, he watches people on the football field, which is still relatively accurate.

Soon, the No. 33 player immediately threw out the football, which was also a goalkeeper's favorite half-high ball.

Al Sadd's goalkeeper was obviously very excited tonight, and his reaction speed at this time was also quite fierce and aggressive, even if he was asked by Li Xuan to stop standing in front of him just now, it still did not affect his psychology.

This goal, he pounced in a different direction than before, and successfully blocked the goal that was highly anticipated by the majority of Jeonbuk fans.

Jeonbuk Hyundai, missed a penalty again!

Obviously, the No. 33 Jeonbuk Hyundai player, whose disappointment was much worse than that of his teammate in front of him, immediately knelt down on the penalty spot, lying on the ground with a little crying.

There is no way, at this time, only the referee Li Xuan is the closest, and he hurriedly played the role of a temporary confidant big brother, comforting him again and letting him leave first.

And the fanatical Jeonbuk fans on the scene were hit again, and the disappointment and unacceptable attitude were even more overflowing, and the pain level of the players who took the free throws may not be a few points worse.

The big screen at the scene captured the close-ups of the expressions of most of Jeonbuk Hyundai fans in time, as well as the small number of Al Sadd fans in the celebration, so that Li Xuan could have the opportunity to notice these special expressions that can only be witnessed on the court.

Such joys, sorrows and sorrows are the purest shots on the court, and they also witness the game entering a more white-hot time!

Al Sadd's fourth player to take a free throw, obviously did not make the mistake of his previous teammate, he no longer pursued a more accurate angle at all, but directly made a miracle, according to the direction of the goal, it is a strong shot!

In a position like a penalty spot. As long as you can aim in the direction of the goal. And with great force. Then for the goalkeeper, it is almost difficult to save. It's not a technical problem, it's just that it's too close to react!

Unsurprisingly, the frantic prayers of the Goryeo fans were clearly decisive and immediately failed, and Al Sadd scored their third penalty and couldn't help but take another step closer to victory.

Therefore. The Al-Sadd player who successfully scored the penalty was a little more excited in the celebratory action!

Jeonbuk Hyundai has not much left to do so, and they must seize the remaining opportunities, otherwise they will say goodbye to this final and miss out on the championship.

Those fans who were originally very enthusiastic, at this time, suddenly seemed to lose the energy to continue to cheer loudly, and they involuntarily became silent and quiet one by one.

Except for their eyes still staring at Jeonbuk Hyundai's upcoming players, they don't seem to have any other reaction attitude. Obviously, the whole body and mind are integrated into that extremely strong emotion of anticipation. But there is no more energy to make any more great noises!

At this moment, they all seem to be standing on the edge of the cliff as if they are already standing on the edge of the cliff, they have to be cautious, extremely cautious, and do not dare to move a little, lest there be a trace of superfluous unbalanced movement, and they will fall into the abyss together!

However, the next penalty kick from the captain of Jeonbuk Hyundai, at this time, carrying everyone's expectations that was about to collapse, was a very crisp and decisive shot!

The captain's psychological quality is obviously much stronger than the previous two teammates, and he finally retains the last bit of expectation for the Goryeo fans.

However, everyone understands that as long as Al Sadd's players hit this penalty in the fifth round, then Jeonbuk Hyundai still has to lose all hope!

At this time, the burden of saving the game fell on Jeonbuk Hyundai goalkeepers, who were not particularly outstanding tonight.

During this period of time, Li Xuan witnessed the different mental outlooks and reactions of the players on both sides, and obviously understood that the whole scene, in fact, was not only the players who took free throws, but also the two goalkeepers on both sides, and the pressure they were under should be the greatest at this moment.

Therefore, he chose to go and prepare to observe the Jeonbuk Hyundai goalkeeper at this moment to see if he can have the strong confidence and attitude to save the penalty kick behind and bring a magical reversal of luck.

However, the No. 21 Korean goalkeeper on his back can't see any obvious difference between him and most of the game on his face, or the same ordinary attitude as before, at most he is just more dedicated and serious, but he clearly lacks the absolute domineering that can make the striker's legs weak!

Soon, after Li Xuan confirmed on the spot that the Jeonbuk Hyundai goalkeeper and the new No. 3 free thrower in Al Sadd were ready, he blew the whistle again and watched the possible final showdown between the two of them.

The No. 3, who was supposed to be Al Sadd's defender, was violent in his free throws, and he began to sprint from afar.

But just after he arrived at the penalty spot, he obviously deliberately kicked the ball in the air, then swayed twice, and shook his right foot back and forth on the football to make a feint, but he didn't kick the penalty in time at all.

At this time, Goryeo's No. 21 goalkeeper had already subconsciously overreacted and pounced on the side of the goal.

So, the defender of Al Sadd, suddenly hit the goal with a strong kick and sent the ball into the goal smoothly!

Then, he ran wildly, facing the group of teammates behind him, cheering to his heart's content, to celebrate the victory!

As for the disturbance that had just resounded in the entire scene, it was annihilated in an instant, and the Korean fans almost immediately died of heart!

It seems that the game has been decided!

However, the referee of this game, Li Xuan, blew the whistle as early as the first time, and at the same time kept signaling that this goal is not counted!

He didn't pay any attention to the passionate celebrations of Al Sadd's players, and just stood there and directly expressed his seriousness.

Almost instantly, sharp-eyed fans, as well as the broadcasters at the scene, and even more people, suddenly discovered such an extremely unexpected situation!

Li Xuan, who has been relatively low-key throughout the game, suddenly took the initiative to become the superprotagonist on the field again in the penalty shootout, and once again successfully attracted the attention of countless eyes!

Thereupon. Follow. Goryeo fans who were already dying. It seemed that a little hope had risen again, and immediately continued to make huge cheers at the scene again, in order to express his support for the team, as well as his incomparable recognition and pursuit of Li Xuan!

"Li Xuan, you are the best referee!"

"It's such a critical punishment, I swear that I will never attack you again for beating Lee Seung Gi and the Goryeo students in the future!"

"Thank you, Li Xuan! You are such a great referee. We, Goryeo fans, are eternally grateful to you!"

……

The excitement from Jeonbuk Hyundai fans obviously fully expressed their gratitude on the spot for Li Xuan's action of invalidating the goal!

This is the final, this is a penalty shootout, this is a crucial goal that determines the outcome of the game, where will these Korean fans not appreciate it?

Basically, they completely forgot about the bad impression that Li Xuan had circulated with them in the past, and all that was left was full of gratitude.

Even, these Korean fans think that this is what they are before this game. chose to support Li Xuan more strongly in return, and Li Xuan will never disappoint the fans and fans who support him.

But in fact. Li Xuan, who was willing to take a big risk and blew off Al Sadd's last penalty, was not really deliberately helping Goryeo fans and helping Jeonbuk Hyundai. He wasn't so stupid, how could he blow such a biased goal in the final.

In fact, Li Xuan was indeed the No. 3 player who found Al Sadd's penalty kick, and he violated the law first when he took the penalty.

Because, according to the latest FIFA regulations in 2010, after the penalty runner suddenly ran to the penalty kick and stopped, he continued to deliberately deceive the goalkeeper with a feint, and did not shoot in time, which is a violation of sportsmanship and will be punished with a new penalty and a yellow card.

Therefore, Li Xuan, who has always treated law enforcement tasks with a high standard and strict requirements, decisively and directly carried out the penalty violation, and did not flinch because this was the decisive goal in the final.

Such an accurate and strict penalty should be done by him, which is the real value and significance of him as a football referee on the field.

Moreover, in this regard, he is full of confidence and determination in the judgment, and will not be disturbed by any external factors. He made such a bold decision purely for the sake of a fair football game!

In short, in a short moment, Li Xuan suddenly refocused most of the original focus of the game on himself, and suddenly became the new absolute protagonist on the field!

But Li Xuan still didn't have too much pressure or psychological burden from his expression, and he still had a relatively calm and relaxed attitude.

Even in the face of strong protests and various arguments on the part of Al Sadd, he was unmoved, personable, reasonable, and calm, and almost quickly presented a confident and outstanding referee's chic style to countless fans again.

On the Al Sadd side, in the end, he was very unwilling but reluctantly accepted that Li Xuan's penalty was not a penalty, and he needed to take the penalty again.

Their No. 3 player, in the face of the yellow card given by Li Xuanxin, spread out his hands and tried to continue to explain, once again expressing his innocence!

Li Xuan's response was to shake his head and smile calmly.

And those Goryeo fans from the scene, what they responded to the Al Sadd player at this moment was a decisive and extremely crazy boo!

Li Xuan, as the chief referee, has just given Jeonbuk Hyundai a chance to save his life. The excitement of the fans at the scene was obviously rekindled, and they were definitely unwilling to lose this hard-won opportunity again, and by the way, they supported Li Xuan, which was also a due gratitude.

And the No. 3 guard of Al Sadd, it seems that compared to the previous free throw, he finally became more dignified and nervous, constantly making deep breaths, but did not put the football in the first place.

After another long delay, the No. 3 Al Sadd player, who had to take a penalty for the second time due to a penalty violation, seemed to readjust, and then signaled to the referee Li Xuan again, saying that he was ready.

Li Xuan glanced at the Jeonbuk Hyundai goalkeeper who had already regained his footing, blew the whistle, raised his gesture, and skillfully made the action of starting the free throw again!

"Don't go in!"

The Goryeo fans in the stadium shouted a similar prayer almost in unison.

It's just a pity that Jeonbuk Hyundai's goalkeeper still continued the general performance of not being able to save the ball before, and was once again scored a powerful shot by Al Sadd's No. 3 defender!

At this time, Li Xuan sighed slightly and glanced at the Jeonbuk Hyundai goalkeeper who did not grasp his fate, and finally made the standard posture of the official end of the game.

Then, with his hands on his hips, he rested and began to wait for the cheers of the entire team of Artsard.

After confirming that there was no problem with this free throw, Al Sadd's No. 3 player immediately stripped off his jersey and rushed to greet a group of players who were also starting to be shirtless!

However, at this time, Li Xuan had already indicated that the game was over, so he deliberately turned a blind eye to the stripping celebrations that these victorious players vented to their heart's content.

For another important event such as the AFC Champions League final in his career, and was successfully experienced by himself again, especially when the two sides were able to fight in a very suffocating penalty shootout before the winner was decided. For Li Xuan, this is definitely another fulfilling and exciting day full of harvest.

Even though he didn't become a soccer player on the field due to his talent, being able to experience all kinds of magical situations on the football field as a referee still made him feel extra satisfied! )
