Chapter 377: Penalty Shootout

In this 30 minutes of extra time, Parma still had two chances to threaten the goal of the Sampdoria team, Jiang Chen's header in the penalty area, and Cutrone's grabbing point, failed to break through the Sampdoria goal.

And the Sampdoria team also got a good opportunity to counterattack, but unfortunately the veteran Quagliarella was weak at the critical moment and did not stop the ball, and the football rolled directly out of the bottom line.

In the end, neither side scored in extra time and the battle ended up being tied at 2-2.

At the end of extra time, it was still a draw, and the two sides finally had to enter the final and most brutal penalty shootout!

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of extra time, there were many players on both sides and they sat directly on the ground.

It was a really tiring game, they had done their best, and as soon as the whistle was over, they couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground gasping for air.

At this time, Jiang Chen was naturally no better, but he was still able to stand.

He walked to the sidelines, because the referee Donadoni was waving to him, Jiang Chen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went over to listen to the instructions.

Seeing Jiang Chen walk in front of him, Donadoni immediately said, "The kid is doing well, very good!" The next penalty shoot-out is up to you! ”

Jiang Chen immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, coach, we will definitely go all out!" ”

"Overtime is over! But the two sides still have no winner, and the two sides must enter a brutal penalty shootout! Sky Sports commentator Baroni said immediately.

At this time, the fans on both sides of the scene are very nervous and worried, this penalty shootout is a heartbeat, even relying on character and luck, who has the possibility of winning in this situation, and also has the possibility of losing, this is not easy to control.

Therefore, at this time, the fans on both sides were actually very nervous, and some people had already turned around and didn't dare to watch any more, and the atmosphere at the scene was very tense and exciting.

"Okay, the head coaches of both sides have lined up the starting five tigers for penalty kicks, and now the captains of both sides have been called aside by the referee, and it seems that they are going to pick the order of penalties." Sky Sports commentator Baroni said.

At this time, Jiang Chen and Quagliarella stood in front of the referee, and the referee said: "Guess the front and back, guess the correct one to get the first penalty, do you understand?" ”

Jiang Chen and Quagliarella immediately nodded and said, "No problem, come on!" ”

The referee took a serious look at Jiang Chen and Quagliarella, then nodded and said, "Positive and negative, please choose!" ”

Jiang Chen and Quagliarella glanced at each other, Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and signaled the other party to guess first, Quagliarella was not polite, and said directly to the referee: "I choose the front!" ”

The referee took a serious look at the two and reconfirmed: "Sampdoria is on the front, Parma is on the back, right?" ”

Jiang Chen and Quagliarella nodded immediately.

The referee nodded and said, "Okay, everything is destined!" ”

After speaking, the referee directly showed the coin in his hand to Jiang Chen and Quagliarella, and then threw the coin into the sky with a slam of time, the coin kept spinning and churning in the process of rising, and no one knew which side of the coin finally fell to the ground.

When the coin reached its peak, it paused slightly, and then it fell sharply, falling the turf, and many pairs of eyes were glued to the coin on the ground, and the upward side was the negative side!

Seeing this, Jiang Chen shouted in his heart: "Okay! ”

Quagliarella, on the other hand, suddenly closed her eyes and sighed in her heart that she was unlucky.

The referee immediately leaned down, picked up the coins on the ground and said to Jiang Chen and Quagliarella: "It's the opposite, Parma takes the penalty first, are you ready to choose?" ”

In fact, the pressure is less to take the penalty first, because when you take a penalty, no one puts pressure on you, and if you serve later, the player who takes the penalty will give you a lot of pressure.

Jiang Chen and Quagliarella both nodded to the referee, then turned around and walked to their teams and greeted their teammates.

"The penalty shoot-out is about to start, the players on both sides are making final preparations, and we can see that the penalty should be taken on the right side of the goal, and the referee team is already in place." Sky Sports commentator Baroni said immediately.

The fans at the scene were very nervous, and at this time they were taking deep breaths one after another to calm their hearts.

To be honest, at this time they are not at all more relaxed than the players in the stadium who are going to take penalties, so it can be said that they are very, very nervous.

Penalty shootouts are actually based on luck to a large extent, and no team dares to say that winning penalties depends on tactics, strength, and of course, the most important point is to test psychological quality.

Mental quality is very important for the players who take penalties, and at this time they have to withstand the pressure, calm themselves down, and face all this with a normal heart.

Donadoni was very nervous at the moment, he was even more nervous than the players on the pitch, he kept pacing back and forth on the sidelines, if he could, he really wanted to go straight out of the pitch, not watching this penalty shootout, he was afraid of having a heart attack.

And Sampdoria's head coach Gianpaolo, naturally, is not much better, although he does not pace back and forth on the sidelines like Donadoni, but he is very uncharacteristically nestled on the bench, as if he is hiding from something.

With the character of Paul Jhan, he has never done such a move, which is enough to reflect the tension and uneasiness in his heart.

On the field, Jiang Chen gathered his players together, and he motioned for the players to form a circle, and they should unite to complete this penalty shootout, which is not the strength of one person, but the crystallization of team efforts.

After boosting their morale, the Parma players put their hands on the shoulders of their teammates and stood in a straight line, looking straight ahead, majestic and powerful.

At this time, Sky Sports commentators Baroni and Montoli were also very nervous, and their voices had undergone some wonderful changes, and it could even be said that they were a little hoarse.

Baroni said: "The players from both sides came together as a force and they showed tenacity and perseverance, so it will be interesting to see who will have the last laugh in the penalty shoot-out. ”

Montoli said at this time: "I really didn't expect that this game ended up in a penalty shootout, in fact, in my opinion, Sampdoria should have ended the battle in 90 minutes, today Parma team gave me a big surprise, they are very resilient, they are also very resilient, they are also very strong, and they equalized at the last moment, it is amazing." ”
