Pirlo dared to take over the football because he had the idea of taking a penalty in his mind, and he felt that this method would definitely work. After setting the ball, Pirlo stared at Li Kui and slowly stepped back, he wanted to put pressure on Li Kui and make Li Kui more nervous. Li Kui was very strange, few people stared at him like this, he felt that the person in front of him was very good, he was able to ignore his appearance and look at himself all the time. Li Kui showed Pirlo a smile that he thought was friendly, and seeing this smile, Pirlo felt that his own aesthetics were greatly impacted, and he was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes.

Pirlo ran and kicked it out, stopping in front of the ball, Pirlo looked up to see which side Li Kui had pounced on, and he wanted to take a spoon penalty. But when he looked up, he saw Li Kui standing still and not moving, and Pirlo's ball couldn't be shot. Li Kui also wondered why Italy's No. 21 penalty kick didn't feel like he was going to shoot the ball, and Li Kui was still waiting for Pirlo to kick the ball out before he decided where to pounce. Pirlo and Li Kui are here, Pirlo with his left foot supported and his right foot next to the football; Li Kui stared at the football at Pirlo's feet. Pirlo couldn't wait any longer, the referee should blow the whistle right away, and he had to use all the strength of his right foot to pick it up. The fluttering and soft football was hugged by Li Kui.

Huang Jianxiang felt that he couldn't explain anymore, he covered his mouth with one hand and turned off the microphone with the other, he didn't want the TV audience to hear his gaffe. But his incessant twitching body kept him from turning off the power, and in the end he couldn't help it and had to burst out laughing. The fans who know how to play in front of the TV have long been unable to care about Huang Jianxiang's performance, and they have all been paralyzed by laughter.

The AOL stadium was filled with laughter, and everyone was laughing except for the Italian fans. In addition to the Italian broadcaster who was about to cry in the broadcast seat, the commentators of other TV stations were no longer able to straighten their waists, and they had never seen such a penalty after watching the ball for decades, Pirlo and Li Kui made history.

Yang Jie, who was sent off, did not go back to the locker room, and he was left by Lu Hai to watch the penalty. Zhao Xuri and Sun Xiang were also watching the game from the coach's seat, Lu Hai didn't criticize them, they didn't do anything wrong, Zhao Xuri was wronged, Sun Xiang had done his best, what was there to criticize? When seeing the series of interactions between Pirlo and Li Kui and the final result, all the members of the Chinese team cheered, not only cheering Li Kui for holding the penalty, but also cheering for the Chinese team to advance to the semi-finals. Although there is a great element of luck in this semi-final, at least we don't rely on who to buy. The Chinese team up and down all think that Li Kui is in front of the goal, and China will win the penalty shootout.

Lippi stared blankly at the pitch, he had little hope for Italy's penalty shoot-out. Italy had the advantage in this game, and the referee did not award a clear unfavorable decision against Italy. He hasn't looked at the technical statistics yet, but he has the impression that the Chinese team only had one shot on goal, and that was the goal scored by Shao Jiayi in the counterattack. Italy should have had more than 20 shots, more than 10 shots in the woodwork, more than 30 corners and free kicks, three penalties, and three Chinese players were sent off. But all this is not comparable to the other goalkeeper, as if possessed by God.

Lippi wiped his eyes, Italy still has a chance, and there is still a penalty shootout, and they can't admit defeat now.

After the penalty was taken, the 120 minutes were up, and the referee signaled for the penalty to begin.

The players of the Chinese team all gathered around Lu Hai, waiting for Lu Hai to arrange the order of penalty kicks, their expressions were very relaxed, with Li Kui there, they thought that the penalty shootout could not be lost.

Before the World Cup, Lu Hai had tested Li Kui's ability to save penalty kicks. It was also from then on that Lu Hai believed that Li Kui was by no means a low IQ, but that it was not the same as a normal person's brain, after Lu Hai's training, he could judge the opponent's intention to shoot from the posture of the shooter's legs, Li Kui's reaction time was within 0.12 seconds, which is basically the limit of human beings. This leads to the fact that when he saves a penalty, he can save the penalty except for the real dead corner and the ground, and of course, the ball speed must exceed 30m/s.

Lu Hai looked at the seven players of the Chinese team who could play in the first five balls: No. 9 Zhang Yi, No. 7 Hao Junmin, No. 13 Zhang Yaokun, No. 17 Xu Yunlong, No. 8 Lei Heng, No. 15 Zhang Xiong, No. 4 Feng Xiaoting, and smiled bitterly; If the first round is not decided, the Chinese team will soon have to pull people up from the bench to be punished.

The first player, Lu Hai, chose Zhang Yi, no matter in terms of status, ability and background, Zhang Yi is a well-deserved big brother of this Chinese team, and he must be the first to take a penalty. The emotional data of Zhang Yi observed by Lu Hai also supports Lu Hai's choice. After selecting Zhang Yi, Luhai sent him to the referee and Cannavaro to choose which goal to use and who would take the penalty first.

The second place Lu Hai chose Hao Junmin, and the third place was Zhang Yaokun. Except for Zhang Yi, Lei Heng, Yang Jie and Li Kui who he personally brought out, the footwork of the rest of the Chinese team players is not much different, and whoever has good emotional data can only be chosen.

Fourth place Lei Heng, Lu Hai observed the emotional data of the Italian players, and felt that the fourth round of the Chinese team should be able to win, Lei Heng's penalty kick was even greater than Zhang Yi's, this is a round that determines the outcome of the game.

In the last place, Lu Hai chose Xu Yunlong, his situation is similar to the other two, but after all, he is an old player, once there is any change on the field, Xu Yunlong's adaptability can be a little stronger.

Zhang Yi walked back a little dejected, his luck was not very good, and it was the Italian who took the penalty first. Lu Hai and the players didn't say anything, just smiled and patted Zhang Yi one by one.

Before Li Kui came on the field, the players of the Chinese team, including several players on the bench, Yang Jie, Sun Xiang, and Zhao Xuri, hugged him.

Li Kui stood in front of the goal and took a deep breath. More than half an hour ago, it was the first extra time match for the Chinese team in the history of the World Cup, and now it is the first penalty shootout. Li Kui, a 20-year-old young man who was abandoned by his mother two years ago, his father disappeared, and his grandmother depended on him, and his grandmother was still worried about his daughter-in-law, stood in front of the goal of the World Cup quarter-final penalty shootout today, he is making history, he is deciding the fate of the Chinese team in this world.

In a new type of large city on China's southeast coast, there is a small courtyard in a community full of simple bungalows. In the courtyard was piled with collected bottles, cans and paper shells, the door to the room was open, and on a morning in the season it was much hotter inside than outside. But a tall, stout woman in a tank top and pants, with a wrinkled face and gray hair, did not notice that her sweat had soaked her stained clothes. She looked straight at the black-and-white TV in front of her with a bad signal, which she had collected in tatters two years ago. On TV, Li Kui, who had fought for the whole game, was covered in mud, but his eyes were firmly looking at the Italian players in front of him. The woman in front of the TV was already in tears.
