Chapter 452: Penalty Shootout
The moment the penalty was saved, the momentum of the players on both sides was reversed again, and the South Korean team, especially the goalkeeper, was full of self-confidence, believing that the door they were guarding would not be breached by the Brazilian team.
In fact, the goalkeeper of the National Olympic team this time, Bai Canhao, seems to be the ironclad main force of the future national team, with a height of 1.95 meters, and various abilities are also in continuous competition, and the age is only 20 years old.
After the corner, the game once again entered a scorching small-scale battle, as long as the Brazilian team got the ball, the three players of the South Korean team will immediately force up to narrow the defensive gap, making the opposing players difficult to handle the ball, all of them are young, full of momentum, and each body is also relatively abundant.
Similarly, there are players on the Korean team's side to get the ball, including Bai Chanhao, once the ball is held, three people surround and grab it, one of them is responsible for cutting off the passing route, one is protecting, one is shooting, and the rest of the players are also posted near the players who are ready to respond.
This final was much more difficult than expected, although it didn't look very pleasing on the field, but people who know football know that both teams played not badly, but with the physical consumption and the unfolding of the siege, both sides played a little chaotic.
The core players of their respective teams also tried to sort out the offensive routine, but they were unable to succeed.
At the end of the 90-minute regular period, the two teams will take a short break to go into extra time, which is also the first time that South Korea have played extra time after the semi-finals, and Brazil will play extra time for the first time.
Sidelines. The team doctor came up and relaxed the muscles of the players. Hydration of hydration. The head coach is also explaining the tactics of extra time to the players.
apparently
Neither coach wants to drag the game into a penalty shoot-out, after all, for a young player to play for his country in such an international tournament, if he makes a mistake in a penalty shoot-out, it is likely to affect the player's career.
I don't know what will happen to the Brazilian team, and if it is a mistake on the part of the South Korean team, I am afraid that the psychological pressure will be even greater when I return home. The message of the screen name will bury the growth of a player, which is not only what the coach is worried about, but also what the captain Bai Canhao is worried about.
Therefore, Bai Canhao will work with the coach to help the players correct their mental state, and tell them that this game is very good, and they only need to hold on for 30 minutes, and after overtime, they can go home with the gold medal and become the pride of their family. Welcomed by everyone.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and remember not to get distracted during the game. The ball must be decisive, the most important thing is to mark the person, don't just look at the ball and ignore your own behind, and protect each other well, no matter what, this game is played here, and the rest must be to fight.
And believe that in the semi-finals, it was also won in extra time, and this time it was the same.
Bai Canhao played a great role, and the fans on the scene also brought a lot of motivation to the players, the more difficult the situation, the louder and neat the cheering of the fans, let the players know that there are still people behind them to support them, and they can't fall.
At the start of extra time, the fans were nervous again, and although they were cheering hard, they felt like their hearts were going to beat out of their throats when they saw every change in rhythm on the field.
Behind the opponent's goal on the sidelines, Kim Taeyeon's hands were tightly clasped together, and she kept making wishes, hoping that the Korean team could win this game.
watched the game with full attention, and in the 15 minutes of the first half, every time the South Korean team attacked the Brazilian team's half, it was Kim Taeyeon's most nervous moment, as tense as the debut stage of her girlhood.
At the end of the half, the score was 0:0, far away, Kim Taeyeon saw the details of Baek Chan-ho's hands on his hips when he came over from the exchange venue, yes, Baek Chan-ho was tired, this game was more tired than any game, although Baek Chan-ho didn't want to show Xiàn out.
Soon, the second half of extra time began, and the Brazilian team's physical fitness was completely out of pace, and the coach seemed to have decided to play a penalty shootout, and the most substitution was also given to the player in the team who took penalties very steadily.
The South Korean team is also the same, replacing Ji Dongyuan in the front line, replacing a midfielder who is very stable in taking penalties inside, and is also starting to arrange the order of penalty kicks.
"Didi"
Fifteen minutes flew by, and when the referee blew the whistle for the end of extra time, an even more tense penalty shoot-out came.
Even if you don't want to face it, you have to face it, back on the sidelines, this time Bai Canhao didn't say much, and the coaching staff didn't say much, but just exchanged glances with the players, and the firmness in his eyes was telling the players to believe in themselves.
The starting 11 players lined up and came to the midfield line, with South Korea defending first and Brazil attacking first.
The first player to take the pitch was Brazil's Oscar, who was also notoriously steady, and as the team's first person to take a penalty, mainly to increase the confidence of his teammates, on the goal line, the young goalkeeper of the South Korean team stretched out his arms and seemed to have the better momentum, after all, he had saved Neymar's penalty before.
Run, hit the goal, sure enough, Oscar was very calm, after deceiving the goalkeeper, he pushed the ball into the upper left corner, followed by the first appearance of the South Korean team was the vice-captain Ji Chengyong, Ji Chengyong's face was full of sweat, and he wiped it several times before taking a deep breath, running and breaking the goal.
1:1, the players in the first round all took penalties, in the second round, the Brazilian team came out of Goulart, the South Korean team was Son Heung-min, the two players also scored the ball one after another, in the third round, the midfielders replaced by the Brazilian team stood in front of the ball, ran away, and also deceived the goalkeeper, but unfortunately the angle was too tricky, and the ball hit the post and popped up.
moment
In the stands, the fans of the South Korean team cheered, the fans of the Brazilian team sighed, and on the live broadcast stage, the anchors and commentators of the three major broadcasting bureaus also raised their arms excitedly and chanted.
Immediately afterwards, Son Heung-min scored, and in the fourth round, the central defender of the Brazilian team stepped forward to score, and Lee Seung-woo of the South Korean team also hit it himself.
In the last round, the captain of the second team, Neymar and Bai Canhao, were ready to play, and it was Neymar who came out first, came to the ball, glanced at the goalkeeper, and he had some shadows in his heart, but Neymar was always Neymar, daring to challenge himself, and pushed to the lower left corner again, and this time the goalkeeper was deceived.
patted the grass regretfully, in fact, the goalkeeper also thought about it, and pounced on the lower left corner again, just like the first time he pounced on Neymar and nodded to listen to Bai Canhao.
Striding towards the penalty spot, subconsciously holding the captain's armband, with the appearance of Bai Chanhao, the final victory or defeat of the game was at this moment, the South Korean fans held their breath, and the Brazilian fans began to boo.
Every step, Bai Canhao's feet were like being poured into lead, and the boos were gradually lost in his ears, only his own heartbeat could be heard, and the pressure on Bai Canhao's shoulders was the greatest more than ever.
When I came to the penalty spot, I looked up and saw Kim Taeyeon behind the goal, and when I looked at each other, Kim Taeyeon nodded slightly.
The goalkeeper of the Brazilian team saw Bai Canhao's eyes and thought that Bai Canhao was observing the angle of the shot, and secretly thought to himself that he was looking at the upper right corner now, yes, it must be the upper right corner.
Stepping back, taking a few deep breaths, Bai Canhao stood on his right foot, took a step with his left foot and rushed to the position of the penalty spot circle, the speed of the run was very fast, it seemed that he was going to shoot the ball vigorously, at least the anchors and commentators on the scene were guessing like this, some Korean fans closed their eyes nervously, and some just showed their two eyes, holding their breath and staring at the situation on the field.
