Chapter 134: Suffocating Penalty Shootout

As a referee, Li Xuan has certainly participated in match enforcement with penalty shootout experience.

However, in an event of the caliber of the AFC Champions League final, this is the first time he has been in charge and can experience a penalty shootout.

Therefore, compared to some of the nervousness and fatigue of the players on both sides on the field, Li Xuan was personally more excited.

He enjoyed the excitement of the penalty shootout this time, and believed that this kind of game state that tested the psychological quality of the players on both sides was also a more grand alternative aesthetic on the football field, especially the decisive battle to determine the champion on the spot.

In fact, he may be the only one of the tens of thousands of fans in the stadium who prefers penalty shoot-outs, and is a far cry from those who regret that their teams will win sooner.

Due to the rest, Li Xuan deliberately did not immediately blow the penalty kick to start, but left a little time for the players and coaches on both sides to prepare and adjust.

The head coaches of the two teams, who seemed to be one of the busiest people on the field at this time, immediately discussed how to arrange the penalty kick sequence for the players on both sides, accompanied by the assistant coaches.

After all, in such a situation where a one-shot decision is possible, any order of penalty shooters can have a decisive impact on the game, and you must be cautious!

No one wants to be in such an important game, but unfortunately end up with a penalty kick, which will ruin the whole effort.

And those stars who were selected by the coaches have different expressions and attitudes, some seem to be full of confidence, and some are more dignified and caring, but it is a very normal psychological condition.

After about a few minutes of rest, Li Xuan reconvened the players on both sides. Get them ready for the penalty shoot-out and get started.

Of course, at this time, Li Xuan obviously had to continue to communicate more with the coaches on both sides. Because the coaches on both sides seem to deliberately delay a little longer, trying to let the group of players who are about to make free throws get a better mental and psychological relaxation.

So, after a long delay. Li Xuan, who was getting more and more excited, finally refocused the players on both sides near the game circle, and let all the irrelevant people immediately return to the outside of the court.

"Di-!"

As soon as the whistle blew, Li Xuan easily pulled all the rhythms back to the tense atmosphere of the game, and under the cheers or prayers of the fans at the scene, the penalty shootout began!

After selection, the Al Sadd players who were playing away took the penalty first.

Li Xuan arranged for the No. 21 goalkeeper of Jeonbuk Hyundai in Goryeo to stand next to the goal first, and then communicated with the assistant referee standing by the goal, and then checked all the environment near the goal. He put the football in the hands of the No. 9 striker, who was the first to stand up in Al Sadd.

The No. 9 striker then held the football in silence, carefully placed it on the penalty spot, followed by a serious step on the turf on the ground, and subconsciously made some habitual prayer movements.

Li Xuan watched the actions of the No. 9 striker of Al Sadd throughout the whole process, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the surrounding situation, and pointed to the direction of the goal with his left hand, and the whistle sounded again, clearly indicating that the No. 9 striker could take a free throw!

Although the No. 9 striker of Al Sadd did not deliberately look at Li Xuan's side throughout the whole process. But in the end, Li Xuan's gesture of signaling that he could make free throws still fell in the corner of his eye.

Thereupon. I saw him slowly take a few steps back, measure his steps, and run, and suddenly when he was approaching the football, his body was stunned and his ankles shook. Hit a half-high but clever lob shot!

The No. 21 goalkeeper of Jeonbuk Hyundai, Goryeo, unfortunately made a mistake in the wrong direction, resulting in Jeonbuk Hyundai couldn't help but fall behind in an instant with a total score of 2-3!

Almost at the same time, Li Xuan heard the huge voice of regret and regret from the entire court. The Goryeo fans at the scene seemed to be very sorry, regretting that their goalkeeper could not guess the right direction!

Only the small number of Al Sadd fans are celebrating at this time!

Li Xuan witnessed this tense and exciting atmosphere changing on the spot, and his personal emotions and psychological reactions became even more intense and excited!

At this time, he obviously wants to be a spectator, seeking excitement, looking forward to seeing which team is more favored by the goddess of football!

Jeonbuk Hyundai lost the penalty first, which will inevitably put more pressure on the Jeonbuk Hyundai striker who took the first penalty next.

Li Xuan stared at Jeonbuk Hyundai foreign aid striker Enio with interest, and couldn't help but guess with a little relaxed curiosity to guess whether the opponent's psychological quality was strong and strong.

However, this Brazilian player, who still looks a little delicate, should not be afraid of such an exciting atmosphere, he quickly completed a complete set of football placement preparations, and then looked at Li Xuan for the first time.

Of course, Li Xuan would not destroy the Brazilian player's quite strong self-confidence and rhythm, and hurriedly waved his arm again, and another decisive whistle sounded!

Of course, at this time, Li Xuan had already discovered that the huge and noisy sound that originally came from the scene had suddenly stopped abruptly, and the Goryeo fans at home were very concerned about affecting the performance of the home team's players.

The Brazilian players are very skillful, and the Jeonbuk Hyundai foreign striker Ennio, whose shooting skills and self-confidence really did not disgrace the Brazilians.

He hit a brilliant shot straight into the left corner, and the Al Sadd goalkeeper was simply out of reach!

The score was 3-3, the penalty was 1-1, and the game was back to a draw!

The Goryeo fans, who had just been quiet for a moment, burst into extremely intense and crazy celebrations like a volcanic eruption!

And when Al Sadd walked out of the player again, this cheering and celebration immediately turned into a flood of boos, trying to give the away players more suffocating mental pressure!

But tonight's Al Sadd players seem to have grown accustomed to the frenzied boos from away. The players seemed to be completely immersed in the high pace and excitement of the game, not really caring about the huge distractions coming from their ears or in front of them, they didn't care at all!

The second No. 11 player who made a free throw for Al Sadd, that was also when Li Xuan just signaled that he could get down, he simply completed the shot, and it was a decisive shot, which once again easily made the Goryeo fans on the scene feel hung again!

This rollercoaster-like mood that goes up and down should be very exciting, very cool, and very difficult, right?

Li Xuan couldn't help but subconsciously observe the fans in the stadium, and felt more and more that there was another powerful charm of football, and at such a critical moment, it was revealed to the fullest!

Then, Li Xuan couldn't help but suddenly think that if this was the team he particularly supported stood on top of such a final penalty shootout, would he also care about the gains and losses of every goal like the group of Korean fans at the scene?

Unfortunately, although there are more reasonable confirmed answers, Li Xuan seems to be unable to truly see and experience a similar situation in a short period of time.

As a private fan, he obviously has no chance to see his favorite team appear in the more important final penalty shootout in the short term.

There is no doubt that Li Xuan will naturally choose the Huaxia team he supports, and there is no indication that they can appear above any final in Asia, let alone a higher quality final.

And Arsenal, the five major league teams that Li Xuan personally admires, is the legendary "Champions League Sixteen Lang, the fourth brother in the league", the results are extremely stable, but they are far from the really important finals, and there are not many opportunities to play similar final penalty shootouts!

Li Xuan wants to experience a different fan psychology, obviously there are others.

In the blink of an eye, it was Jeonbuk Hyundai's turn to make free throws.

The player who came out this time was a local star in Goryeo, but Li Xuan was not very familiar with it, he only remembered his No. 15 jersey, and he didn't know this Goryeo star who should still be a little famous in the K League.

However, Li Xuan immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly thought that the mentality of the Korean star seemed to have some problems.

Because, this player does not look determined enough in his eyes, but has a bit of a suspicious flash, and may not have thought about which direction the football will be punished in time.

If you don't have confidence, it's easy to kill yourself in a penalty shootout. After all, the goddess of football often prefers a confident team that is more energetic and will not admit defeat.

Then, the Jeonbuk Hyundai local player really placed the football position several times in a row, but he was not very satisfied, and it was true that there was a major problem in terms of mentality.

In this regard, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh, realizing that this Korean player was still knocked down by huge pressure, and was obviously reluctant to face the expectations of the audience.

His penalty kick, the probability of not scoring is greater than the goal, it depends on whether the goalkeeper on the side of Al Sadd is worthy of the match.

After Li Xuan finally confirmed that the No. 15 player of Jeonbuk had finally placed the position of the football, he subconsciously looked at the goalkeeper of Al Sadd, intending to understand what his state of mind was at the moment.

However, at this look, Li Xuan hurriedly gave up blowing the whistle, but immediately ran to the goalkeeper and motioned him to step back a little, obviously standing in the front!

With the professionalism of an impartial referee, Li Xuan certainly did not have any bias in this game. At this time, it was indeed purely because Al Sard's goalkeeper moved out a little and expanded the defensive area, which was not the right situation, so Li Xuan hurriedly stopped it.

However, in the eyes of the majority of Goryeo fans, Li Xuan's approach is obviously a very good help to Jeonbuk Hyundai. So the scene hurriedly burst into quite fierce applause, expressing gratitude to Li Xuan for his seemingly casual behavior but able to help a lot of Jeonbuk.

Even, some fans who usually like Li Xuan couldn't help but sing praises to Li Xuan again!

Li Xuan personally, of course, is a little dark in his heart, but on the surface, he still looks serious, and re-signals that the No. 15 player in Goryeo is ready to make free throws! )
