After 120 minutes of play, China and Switzerland entered the most brutal penalty shootout.

The five penalty kicks on the Chinese team's side are Gao Lin, Zheng Zhi, Yu Dabao, Wu Xi, and Dai Zhiwei.

The five penalty takers on the Swiss side were Xhaka, Shaqiri, Seferovic, Ricardo Rodriguez and Dermic.

The Chinese team kicked the penalty first.

A penalty is arguably the easiest way to score a goal, with players just 12 yards away from the goal and kicking their feet directly into the goalkeeper, but is that the case?

It's very easy for a professional to score from a corner with a volley from this distance, but the psychological pressure when taking a penalty is terrifying.

From the past history, it can be found that many players have a very high penalty shooting rate when the team is ahead, but when they are behind or drawn, the penalty kick player needs to bear huge psychological pressure, which also directly leads to the decline in the penalty kick scoring rate.

Speaking of penalty kicks, we have to mention a "BUG" player from both teams - Dai Zhiwei. He has never missed a penalty in his career, which is inseparable from his strong mental qualities.

For him, scoring goals is like a courier delivering a courier, just doing his job, because every time he takes a penalty, it is almost a burst, and the goalkeeper can't react at all, which is the main reason for the horror of his high penalty shooting rate.

"Kill!"

Gao Lin deserved to be the player who Lippi deliberately changed to take a penalty, he deceived the Swiss goalkeeper Zommer, easily fired a low shot into the bottom right corner of the goal, and then waved his right fist in the air excitedly, and at the same time let out an excited roar.

1:0, penalty shootout, the Chinese team leads by 1 goal!

The players of the Chinese team standing in the other half were also happy, and the first player to take the penalty took the role of stabilizing the morale of the army. Once the penalty is scored, it will undoubtedly give the team a lot more confidence. If you miss a penalty, it will be a very big blow to the team.

At this time, Xhaka, the first Swiss team to take a penalty, ran to the penalty area with a blank face and carefully placed the ball on the penalty spot. Then, he straightened up and took two steps back, looked at Dai Zhiwei, who was moving his hands and feet on the side of the goal, and pursed his mouth.

"Come on!"

Under Xhaka's gaze, Dai Zhiwei took a deep breath and slowly walked to the goal line.

Looking at his appearance, the hearts of the tens of thousands of Chinese fans in the stands and countless fans in front of the domestic TV sets were almost beating to their throats.

"It must be no problem, it must be no problem!"

Countless Chinese fans are muttering and comforting themselves in their hearts, in fact, they also know that for a non-professional goalkeeper like Dai Zhiwei, it is normal that a penalty kick cannot be saved, and it is a miracle to save it.

But hasn't Dai Zhiwei been creating miracles?

"Drop!"

The referee's whistle blew, and with this whistle, Xhaka lowered his head, started, run, accelerated, shot, and completed a set of actions in one go.

Suddenly, the ball flew straight to the top right corner of the goal like an arrow from the string.

Almost at the same moment, Dai Zhiwei moved, and with a sharp reaction, he clearly saw Xhaka's shooting.

"Left!"

As soon as he judged the direction of Xhaka's shot, Dai Zhiwei no longer hesitated. I saw him take a quick step to the left, and then struggled to a sideways pounce, and a big hand swept towards the ball in the air like lightning.

"Huh!"

There was a soft sound, and Dai Zhiwei knew that it was the sound of a football rushing into the net.

Moments later, there was a boil in the St. Petersburg stadium.

"The ball speed of a professional player is so fast that if you wait until you see the way to the ball, you won't be able to do it unless you hit it right." Dai Zhiwei shook his head, and there was no frustration.

He had long realized that if he could become an invincible goalkeeper by exchanging a skill worth 30 points, that would be!

1:1, the Chinese team and the Swiss team are back on the same starting line again!

The second penalty kick of the Chinese team was the veteran captain Zheng Zhi.

At this time, Zheng Zhi had carefully placed the ball on the penalty spot, and he looked at the goal-line activist Zomer and took a deep breath.

Moments later, the referee's whistle blew. As soon as the whistle fell, Zheng Zhi held his breath and quickly met the ball with a powerful volley.

Suddenly, the ball was like a cannonball, sticking to the turf and heading towards the bottom left corner of the goal. At the same time, Zomer moved. I saw him rush hard, and the same fish jumped to the ball.

Helplessly, although Zomer judged the right direction, Zheng Zhi's shot completely focused on power. With such a powerful shot, even if Zomer judged the right direction, he could only watch the ball rush into the goal before the big hand arrived.

The stands were boiling, and tens of thousands of Chinese fans went crazy. They cheered and jumped in the stands.

Because, they finally saw the Chinese team take the lead again!

2:1！

Amid the cheers of the Chinese fans, Zheng Zhi ran to the midfield with a smile on his face, where his teammates raised their arms to him in ecstasy to welcome him back.

The Chinese team was ahead, which silenced the Swiss team. Shaqiri, who took the second penalty kick for the Swiss team, took his nerve and ran quickly towards the penalty area.

At this time, Zomer, who was extremely annoyed that he could not save the penalty, saw the confidence on his face and stood up and gave him a thumbs up as a sign of encouragement.

"Gotta equalize!"

Shaqiri picked up the ball, peeked at Dai Zhiwei, who was walking towards the goal, and said in his heart, "I won't be saved twice by you!" ”

Dai Zhiwei stood on the goal line, he jumped slightly, and at the same time, he seemed to be casual, but in fact nervously observed Shaqiri in front of the ball.

"Drop!"

The whistle blew and Shaqiri did not shoot immediately after the whistle. He first looked up and looked at Dai Zhiwei on the goal line again, and then slowly ran away.

"Left? Or on the right? ”

Dai Zhiwei thought quickly in his mind, Shaqiri's unhurried behavior made him very uncomfortable. He would rather the other party come up with a sudden force, which is better than suffering like this.

But Shaqiri's unhurried and relaxed attitude turned his nervousness into irritability, and he couldn't figure out the direction of his next shot.

Finally, Shaqiri had a shot.

I saw him staring at the right side of the goal, his calf raised high, obviously aiming at the right side of the goal. But just as he was about to touch the ball, he suddenly changed the direction of his shot and scrambled the ball towards the middle of the goal.

Spoon shot!

His idea was good, and he almost deceived Dai Zhiwei, but he forgot that Dai Zhiwei was not a professional goalkeeper after all.

If it is a professional goalkeeper, the moment Shaqiri shoots, he will definitely make an action in advance and be shaken away, but Dai Zhiwei does not have much experience in saving penalty kicks, and he is still used to using the super reaction given by "Gino Hernandez's seamlessness" to see the ball clearly before making a save.

Therefore, the next moment there was an extremely funny scene on the field - Sharich's spoon shot fell into the arms of Dai Zhiwei, who was standing straight in the middle of the goal and motionless!

Countless Chinese fans saw Dai Zhiwei easily holding Sharic's shot in his arms, and immediately cheered loudly. In the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains, Dai Zhiwei also knelt on the turf and roared to the sky!

"Mazefak!"

Seeing this, Shaqiri immediately rubbed his hair in frustration and screamed.

"Oh!"

The rest of the Swiss players standing in the midfield saw Dai Zhiwei barely move half a step to hold Shaqiri's penalty in his arms, and suddenly a voice full of chagrin and frustration came from among them.

And everyone on the Chinese team hugged each other excitedly, loudly venting the joy in their hearts. Shaqiri's penalty was saved, which meant that the Chinese team had taken the lead after the second round.

After taking the lead, Yu Dabao, who was the third to take the penalty, eased his inner tension a lot.

When Yu Dabao walked towards the penalty area, Dai Zhiwei walked out of the goal with a confident smile. He raised his hands in response to the cheers of the Chinese fans in the stands, and at the same time felt a secret refreshment in his heart, "This goal is scored, and I will save the penalty of the Swiss team." Next goal and then score...... Victory is ours! ”

But just a minute later, Dai Zhiwei on the sidelines looked at the scene in the penalty area, and a little disappointment appeared on his face.

Yu Dabao stood in front of the penalty spot in frustration, and the ecstatic roar in front of the goal was replaced by Zomer.

With Zommer's roar, the Swiss fans in the stands boiled, as did the Swiss players who were waiting in the midfield - Yu Dabao's anti-aircraft gun rekindled their hopes of winning the game.

"Why don't I shoot!"

At this time, the Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV were going crazy. They finally saw the Chinese team take the lead. But Yu Dabao squandered a golden opportunity to extend his lead.

In the eyes of all the Chinese fans full of resentment, Seferovic walked into the penalty area, he hugged the ball on the grass and kissed it reverently. Šarić missed a penalty and the pressure was on him.

Not long after, the whistle sounded, and when he heard the whistle in his ears, Seferovic looked up at Dai Zhiwei on the goal line, and then lowered his head and started quickly. Just a second later, he was in front of the ball and immediately pumped it hard towards the penalty spot.

"Bang!"

A clear muffled sound echoed in the silent St. Petersburg Stadium, and the ball hit the outside of the crossbar and bounced back into the penalty area!

Dai Zhiwei still didn't touch this goal, but Seferovic didn't shoot either, his shot was too much for the angle, but hit the post!

2:1, the Chinese team is still leading after the third round of penalty shootouts!

Seferovic was dumbfounded, the Swiss players who were waiting in the midfield were dumbfounded, and the Swiss fans in the stands were equally dumbfounded.

This fact is a sight to behold. There was a chance to equalise, but it was blocked by the crossbar.

Just a few centimeters away from them they were able to equalise. As a result, the difference of a few centimeters directly made them have to pin their hopes on the last two rounds.

"Good people have good rewards!"

When the Swiss players and fans were extremely annoyed, Dai Zhiwei excitedly bent his arms into fists and roared happily in his heart. Not far in front of him, Zomer frowned and walked into the penalty area.

The development of the game has already made Zomer feel in danger, with two penalties left in the final round, while China have a one-goal lead, and the huge pressure is tilted to the side of the Swiss team.

After a while, the fourth round of penalty shootouts began.

Wu Xi did not disappoint the new appointment of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans, and the penalty was won overnight!

3:1, the Chinese team extended its lead!

At this moment, the St. Petersburg Stadium was surrounded by the cheers of tens of thousands of Chinese fans.

But just a minute later, the cheers of the Swiss fans resounded throughout the stadium, and Ricardo Rodriguez, the fourth Swiss penalty, fired a shot through Dai Zhiwei's ten fingers.

3:2, after the end of the fourth round, the Chinese team is still ahead!

"Director Yang, I'm so nervous that I'm almost speechless now!" He Wei in the live broadcast room has also been nervous since the penalty shootout began.

"As long as this goal is scored, we win!" Yang Cheng also spoke for the first time after the penalty shootout, "Let's believe Dai Zhiwei!" ”

In the midst of the grievances of countless Swiss fans, Zommer once again stood in front of the goal. He must not let the Chinese team score this goal, otherwise the Swiss team will miss the quarterfinals.

"I can do it...... I don't want this World Cup to end like this! "Zommer has also been quietly cheering himself on the goal line.

"One last time!"

In the noise created by the Swiss fans racking their brains, Dai Zhiwei took a deep breath to calm his mood, and slowly walked towards the football, carefully placing the ball on the penalty spot.

One offense and one defense, the importance of this ball for everyone.

"Drop!"

At this time, the referee blew the whistle to indicate that the penalty was ready to be awarded.

Dai Zhiwei moved, he rushed up quickly, and at this time, Zomer, who was bouncing on the goal line, also nervously bent down to spread his hands and try his best to expand the defensive area.

Dai Zhiwei got closer and closer to the ball, his left foot stepped heavily on the grass as a support foot, and his right foot hit the ball!

"Bottom right!"

Zomer trusts his own judgment, which turns out to be right, but when he flies down, he only throws air into the air.

Dai Zhiwei completely used the power of the football to get this penalty, and as soon as Zomer's heel left the ground, the football had already jumped over the goal line!

In the last second, the entire St. Petersburg stadium was silent.

In the next second, a cheer that was enough to collapse the mountain and crack the rocks poured down from the stands, and immediately converged into a huge wave of sound that soared straight into the sky!

At this time, Dai Zhiwei was ecstatic, and rushed to the stands excitedly, sweat and tears intertwined, roaring-

"We won!"
