Chapter 0286 - The Ball Is In!
Joao walked back, and looked at him a little gloomy.
The Aachen players didn't say anything more than a gentle pat on the shoulder.
Everyone is a player and we all know the brutality of penalty shoot-outs.
Not to mention anything else, the pressure in everyone's hearts now is really heavy and breathless.
And Joao, who missed the penalty, what is the feeling in his heart, although everyone has not yet taken the penalty, but they all feel the same inexplicably.
Therefore, Joao did not suffer any complaints from his teammates, and everyone tried to treat it as if nothing happened.
In addition to Zhuo Cunzhi.
"Why did you get that ball so high?" Zhuo Cunzhi asked suspiciously.
Bernd and Edwin next to him both changed their faces and looked at Joao for the first time.
And Joao, with a heartless face, said: "I don't know either. β
"Don't know?" For this answer, Zhuo Cunzhi really didn't know what to say.
Zhuo Cunzhi will ask this question, and naturally he can see Joao's current psychological state.
This kid doesn't have any psychological pressure at all, and his gloomy expression is simply thinking and doubting, not sad.
Obviously, there is no problem with his mentality, and his shooting skills are not so exaggerated, why do you kick the ball away?
Zhuo Cunzhi doesn't understand this very well.
"Hargreaves! He kicked flying! The cheers in the stands brought Zhuo Cunzhi's attention back to the penalty shootout.
Judging by the reaction of the fans, the display of the scoreboard and the expression of Hargreaves himself, he knew that the goal was not scored and, like Joao, Hargreaves was kicked away.
Something is wrong, this is not scientific.
Hargreaves was born in Canada and joined the Bayern Munich academy at the age of 17, while he is now a member of the England national team.
It seemed strange, and outsiders didn't know what Hargreaves was thinking.
But one thing is for sure -
Hargreaves was bred by Bayern Munich and has the characteristics of a German player when it comes to football.
Such a player, in terms of penalty kicks, should be on the same level as ordinary German players.
However, even he was punished?
Zhuo Cunzhi was a little unacceptable.
You know, Germany today is not the same as Germany in the future.
The future Germany, after carrying out technological reforms, kept up with the pace of the times and was quite strong.
But at that time, Germany weakened a lot in terms of penalty kicks, and in the 16 European Championship, against Italy, which was notoriously weak in penalty kicks, five rounds of penalty shootouts failed to distinguish the winner or loser, and several national team players failed to score penalty kicks.
And the current Germany is different, in the past 20 years, the penalties missed in the German competition add up to less than a one-hand index!
If Hargreaves chooses to play for the German national team, he will undoubtedly be a starter for the national team.
Such a player actually took a penalty kick?
On average, a penalty is missed once in more than ten years, and it happened once today?
In the third round, Xie Hui scored a penalty on Aachen's side.
However, this goal can be scored, it is really dangerous, Xie Hui's penalty angle is not very tricky, and Kahn once again pounced in the right direction.
It's just that Xie Hui's penalty seemed to have a little spin, and Kahn was caught off guard and quickly changed his movements, but it only lightly brushed the edge, and the ball finally crossed the goal line.
On Bayern's side in the third round, it was Fink who came on and he also scored a penalty.
Benaglio made another misguided save and once again had to make a move and look back at the ball over the goal line.
In the fourth round, Cayers also sent the ball in.
This time, Karn had managed to pounce in the wrong direction, and Cayas's feint had managed to fool him.
In the fourth round, Bayern took a penalty kick from Elber.
Once again, Benaglio pounced in the wrong direction.
After smiling bitterly in his heart, Benaglio subconsciously turned his head and looked at the ball as if he was fatal......
Hit the goalpost.
Huh?
Before he had time to get excited, Benaglio froze in place.
Not only him, but all the players in Aachen, all the players in Bayern, all the fans and media reporters in the stands, all looked stunned at this time.
Bayern took penalties and conceded two goals in four rounds?
In the past 20 years, Germany has participated in several penalty shootouts, and it is estimated that they have missed two penalties in total!
So, who would have imagined that Bayern, with the will of the "chariot", would play so poorly in the penalty shootout?
No one thought of it, and the least of them was the penalty taker Elber.
Elber clutched his face and fell to the ground, reluctant to get up for a long time.
He is well aware that he is no longer in Bayern's plans.
Bayern are expected to sell him this summer.
Although he Elber belongs to the top group among the stars, for Bayern, even if he leaves, there are a lot of people willing to take his place.
As far as Elber himself knows, Bayern's ideal replacement is Super Laco striker Roy Mackay.
This super striker from the Netherlands, although his reputation is not as good as the genius Kluivert, and even less as the super center of Manchester United Ruud van Nistelrooy, his strength is not inferior to Elber!
On top of that, he was three years younger than Elber.
Among professional players, three years is long enough.
After Bayern won almost all of the club trophies, especially the Champions League, Elber was content.
Therefore, he is not dissatisfied with Bayern's decision.
Especially this season, he won the first golden boot of his Bundesliga career, which can be regarded as satisfying his last regret.
It's also good and perfect to leave like that.
It was supposed to be perfect......
It took a few seconds for him to slowly ease his mind.
Zhuo Cunzhi and Elber passed by and stood at the penalty spot.
"Now the score between the two sides is 3:2, Zhuo Cunzhi scored this goal, and Aachen won." Di Wei didn't look excited, but full of gains and losses.
"Regardless of whether he scores this goal or not, he can play with Bayern so far, and Zhuo Cunzhi's performance is great." Duan Huo looked equally nervous, and had even begun to make excuses for Zhuo Cunzhi.
If you really want to talk about it, in the five major European leagues, this is the first time that Chinese people have participated in the championship competition.
The two commentators are nervous, which is naturally normal.
After watching the performance of the two commentators, many Chinese fans set their eyes on Zhuo Cunzhi-
Even the commentators outside the court are so nervous, Zhuo Cunzhi, who is standing at the penalty spot, is not under pressure......
On the other hand, Zhuo Cunzhi is thinking, not thinking about how to beat Kahn, let alone thinking about life, but thinking about why Bayern played so poorly.
Lack of energy?
This is the most reliable answer that Zhuo Cunzhi can think of.
After all, after fighting with Aachen for so long, Lizarazu couldn't hold it anymore and was replaced by Heathfield, but the others were no better.
Hargreaves and Elber both ran the whole race without rest, and it is normal for them to make a small mistake.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Cunzhi put the ball twelve yards in front of the goal.
In front of the door, Benaglio had long since left, and now standing was the lion king Karn.
"Come on!" The Lion King roared, his eyes wide.
Ordinary young players standing in front of him, especially in the face of such a critical moment, may directly be afraid of three points.
But he is ambitious, but he is not an ordinary person!
There is such a thing as a penalty, the power is enough, the angle is enough, even if the opponent guesses the right direction, it is difficult to pounce!
Zhuo Cunzhi shot hard and hit the dead corner directly on the lower left side of the gate.
At this moment, Karn seemed to have the power to leap like the king of animals!
At this moment, all the spectators really felt that Karn could save the ball!
Zhuo Cunzhi's eyes also widened, and he was helpless.
To be honest, his penalty kick was of high quality, and being saved can only be said that the opponent played too well.
However, Karn's face changed as he watched the trajectory of the ballβ
According to the analysis of Zhuo Cunzhi's habits, he pounced in the right direction, but it seemed that he pounced too fiercely.
Hurriedly retracted the overstretched left arm, and the right arm was also moving at the same time.
The trajectory of the ball crossed between the two hands.
At this moment, Kahndo hoped that he could fall to the ground quickly, so that he could use his body to block this ball and protect his glory!
Karn fell to the ground, but the ball went past him......
"The ball went in !!"
