Chapter 260: The Second Appearance
Hearing Klopp's words, many of the team members were a little puzzled.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shen Peng is currently the best player in the team with the best foot skills, and his shooting skills are even better than the whole team, so it is a bit "condescending" to let him play the second one.
Although the second and third players who take the penalty are the least stressed compared to other positions, with their usual understanding of Shen Peng, Shen Peng's psychological quality should be very good, so he can play a more important position, such as the fifth, or the fourth.
Klopp saw the thoughts of the players and did not explain too much, because Shen Peng was still young, and he was indeed afraid that Shen Peng would make mistakes in key positions, such as when the fourth or fifth goal was played, it often happened that once the penalty was missed, it would directly lead to the team losing, and the pressure at that time could be imagined, especially on such an important occasion as the Champions League final.
Once Shen Peng loses the penalty, it may have a great impact on his future career, Klopp doesn't want a new star in the football world to decline, so he let Shen Peng play a position with less pressure, and if the second penalty is taken, even if he doesn't kick in, there is still a chance in the back.
Shen Peng doesn't care about himself, he can play as many as he wants.
"Alright, now I'll announce the third, Shinji Kagawa."
Shinji Kagawa nodded excitedly, his eyes full of surprise, this position is also not very stressful, and the head coach has put him on the field as a form of trust in him.
Next, there are the two most important positions.
"The fourth, Kuba."
Kuba is older, so he is relatively better mentally in this situation, and he comes off the bench late and has more energy, so putting him in fourth is the best option.
"The last ......" Klopp glanced around the crowd before saying, "Longrack!" ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Longlark was the goalkeeper on their side, and he turned out to be the fifth to take the penalty.
'As a goalkeeper, Longerak knows a lot about what to look out for when the goalkeeper shoots a penalty shooter, and he has good shooting skills, so I chose to let him take the fifth goal.
……
At the same time, on the other side, Enrique looked at the row of players in front of him with a bitter face.
Barcelona haven't played a penalty in a major tournament for years.
Speaking of which, they also have a black history, that is, in the 1986 Champions League final penalty shootout with Bucharest Stars, the first four penalties were all kicked off, and the opponent had already scored two goals, and the last goal did not need to be kicked, so they lost the penalty shootout 0-2.
Facing a team with such a black history, Enrique really can't raise confidence in the upcoming penalty shoot-out.
But the good news is that the current group of players is completely different from the group of 30 years ago, and they still have a chance to take penalties.
Of course, they haven't played a penalty shootout for a long time, and naturally they haven't practiced penalty kicks before the game, so what they will do when the time comes depends entirely on the performance of these players.
According to the rules in the league, Barcelona has missed a lot of penalties......
In the end, Enrique decided the order of appearance, the first was Barcelona's star Messi, the second was Suarez, who had just transferred this year, the third was Mathieu, who came off the bench, the fourth was central defender Pique, and the fifth was the current captain Xavi.
……
Once both sides were ready, Longerak stood in front of goal and now he had to face Messi, Barcelona's number one star.
Although Longerak is Dortmund's substitute goalkeeper, if it weren't for Weidenfeller's injury, he wouldn't have been able to play in this game, but he was not stage frightened at all, and when facing Messi, he kept waving his hands to interfere with the opponent.
Messi was naturally not disturbed by him, and he didn't even change speed during the run, ran directly in front of the ball, and volleyed!
Langerak made a complete save in the wrong direction and the goal was scored without any surprise.
1 to 0!
Then it was Dortmund's turn to shoot.
Hummels hit the penalty spot, and Ter Stegen also came to goal, lowered his center of gravity, and watched Hummels move closely.
After the referee signaled, Hummels slowly ran towards the ball, changing his rhythm in the process, and when he ran to the ball, he accelerated sharply and fired a powerful shot to the side of the goal.
Ter Stegen judged the right direction, but the ball was too fast and the angle was tricky, so he didn't save the ball and watched it fly into the net.
One-to-one!
In the first leg of the shots on goal from both sides, the players who took the penalty withstood the pressure and did not disappoint and scored the goal, so the two teams were tied.
Then came the less stressful second round.
Barcelona sent Suarez, and it can be seen that Enrique wants to give the lead to the better shooters in the first two legs, and throw the pressure on the opponent, while the next few players on his side have to resist the pressure, and if they are lucky, they can win early before they can wait for five rounds.
After Suarez came on the field, he didn't play any tricks and scored a shot cleanly, although Longlak guessed the right direction, but he couldn't save it.
Two to one!
Next it will be the turn of Shen Peng on Dortmund's side.
For Shen Peng's appearance in this position, the outside world is not as confused as the Dortmund team, they all feel normal, after all, Shen Peng is still young, and it is already great to be able to play a penalty shootout.
……
"Stinky boy, you can be angry, don't shoot away!"
Shen Minghui muttered, although it was almost dawn outside at this time, he didn't sleep at all, and he was still in good spirits.
Not only him, but everyone else in the room did not feel the slightest sleepiness at this time, staring closely at the TV, even if there were people who usually don't watch the ball much, listening to the commentary on the TV at this time, they also knew the anxiety of the game at this time.
Now it's Dortmund's turn to take the penalty. In the previous three penalty players, they all scored, so I think Shen Peng's pressure must be not small. ”
'Now it's up to him to see if he can withstand the pressure, and if he does, maybe this game will be an asset in his football career for the rest of his career; And if he misses, it may have some adverse effects on his career. ”
Hearing the experts on TV say this, even Shen Minghui, who knew Shen Peng best, couldn't help but get nervous.
This kid can't be really nervous, right?
In the picture on TV, Shen Peng has come to the penalty spot, and the camera gives him a close-up of his face, which looks relatively relaxed, as for whether he is nervous or not, it is unknown.
At this time, the whole family held their breath and watched Shen Peng's movements......
