An important match of the nature of a final, which can be played to a penalty shootout, although for the majority of onlookers, it is very powerful. But for the well-informed Li Xuan, such an opportunity is not very rare.

Because each team participating in the finals has always been more cautious and cautious in their specific style of play. Just like the two teams tonight, I'd rather choose a safe and error-free style of play than take too many risks. Then, in this kind of game, the probability of a penalty shootout is sometimes a few points higher than that of an ordinary game.

This penalty shootout, in Li Xuan's personal opinion, is also a natural thing that is completely reasonable.

Therefore, at the end of regular time and overtime, Li Xuan deliberately left a little rest time for the two teams, so that the players on both sides could take a breath of relief after 120 minutes of high-intensity and high-pressure battle, and then adjust the rest and hydration treatment, and accept the specific penalty arrangements of the head coach to deal with the next extremely crazy and lucky penalty shootout.

Moreover, this can also allow the fans who have been excited for a whole game to take a break, readjust their spirits, and then create a new cheering atmosphere on the scene, and strive to make the game reach the climax of the cheering atmosphere at the last moment!

In addition, Li Xuan and several other referees have been running back and forth for a long time just on the field, and the real distance is probably more than ten kilometers, and it must also take a little adjustment and respite.

The more critical the game is, the more they must not make mistakes, and they must adjust their energy more carefully and carefully to ensure the best law enforcement status!

In fact, according to the normal game enforcement process, before the penalty shootout, there is no specific time for the referee to leave for the players and coaches of both sides to adjust. However, the majority of referees have long been accustomed to it, and they often give it a few minutes, which is also the basic practice of law enforcement.

Li Xuan naturally wouldn't go to sensationalize the crowd at such a moment, and deliberately make something different. He gave both teams plenty of time to take a short break to rehydrate and accept the coach's arrangement.

After confirming that the time was almost sufficient, they took the initiative to come to their respective teams and arrange for their respective captains to come out in the order of picking and picking penalties.

The captains of both Derby County and Queens Park Rangers are not goalkeepers. Therefore, when accepting Li Xuan's choice of sides, their captains each fully considered the opinions of the goalkeepers on both sides, and then quietly came to Li Xuan's side and accepted Li Xuan's choice to flip a coin.

As it was a cloudy day, there was no such glare of the sun as in previous Premier League matches, and the fans on both sides of the goal were still half of each side, and there was no direct way to create a home atmosphere for one team.

Therefore, the captains of the two teams did not care which side played first, and finally chose the side of the Queens Park Rangers in slightly better turf in the second half of the goal, and began to prepare for the penalty.

Then, the captain of the Queens Park Rangers team was the first to guess the direction of the coin, and they won the right to take the penalty first.

Seeing this, Li Xuan found the two goalkeepers again, and after briefly announcing to them some precautions on the occasion of the penalty shootout, he took the referee to the side of the goal where the penalty was taken.

The two linesmen, together appeared on the side of the goal line on both sides in time, acting as the goal-line referees that have already been equipped in the Champions League and other big arenas.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, stood in the corner of the small penalty area, raised his whistle, signaling the Derby County goalkeeper to come to the goal first, and then beckoned the Queens Park Rangers players to send their first penalty taker.

The rest of the players of the two teams had already built a human wall at this time, and began to wait for the penalty shootout to be carried out nervously, and then a Queens Park Rangers striker came out of it, and slowly came to the penalty spot with a solemn face.

When the penalty was placed, the Derby County fans immediately rang out with a noisy noise.

And the fans of the Queens Park Rangers themselves have long been silent, holding their heads in their hands, secretly nervous and anxiously praying for something.

Backbite!

Li Xuan briefly checked the position and movements of the goalkeeper and the penalty player, and soon blew the whistle, indicating that the penalty was ready to be punished.

The goalkeeper from Derby County immediately twisted his body in front of the goal line, waved his hands, and began to interfere with the mental action of Queens Park Rangers' first penalty taker.

Run-up, swing your legs, kick!

Under Li Xuan's more clear attention, the Queens Park Rangers striker hit the goal with a powerful kick and directly hit the lower right corner of the goal guarded by the Derby County goalkeeper!

Li Xuan immediately stretched out his hand to signal that the goal was valid, 1 to 0!

At the same time, the fans from the Queens Park Rangers were already cheering and shouting with great excitement. The other Queens Park Rangers players on the field also expressed their high admiration and praise. As for the striker who scored the penalty goal, he had already waved his arm hard to celebrate!

The Derby County goalkeeper, who was a little regretful, immediately took the initiative to swap places with the goalkeeper of the Queens Park Rangers team.

Then, it was the turn of Derby's first penalty taker.

It's just that, unlike the quieter situation in the first round just now, the goalkeeper of the Queens Park Rangers team is obviously extraordinarily lively and deliberate, as if he came with a mission.

He actually took the initiative to go up to the penalty spot first, picked up the football, and stepped on the turf vigorously, before deliberately sending the penalty to the Derby County player in person, and his mouth was the first to interfere and chatter: "How is it, are you panicking?"

In the face of such a deliberate interference by the goalkeeper of the Queens Park Rangers team, Li Xuan, who was the referee, hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and verbally sent a warning.

After all, it's a penalty shootout, you can't let the goalkeeper or the players violate the rules too much, normal psychological warfare is acceptable, but it's not good to interfere with the opponent with close to immoral behavior.

Li Xuan's warning was obviously effective, and the goalkeeper of the Queens Park Rangers team, with a little unwillingness, honestly retreated to the goal line first.

The penalty taker of Derby County immediately ran and kicked the ball after Li Xuan finished the whistle.

It was also a powerful shot, but he also managed to deceive the Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper and make him save in the wrong direction.

Li Xuan saw the Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper, who was still very annoyed and rolled on the ground regretfully after conceding the goal, and couldn't help but feel a little funny about this guy.

Just now, I saw that this goalkeeper was serious, playing obvious psychological warfare and interference like a generation of door gods, and it seemed to be quite powerful. Unexpectedly, it didn't have any effect on his actual pounce, and he also judged the wrong direction.

I don't know if his personal performance will improve after that, or if he is really so funny.
