'We defended the whole second half, which means we have the absolute advantage physically. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo, when it comes to overtime, everyone else is going to give me a shot except for the necessary defenders! We are Chelsea, we are Premier League champions! It's an insult to be forced into extra-time now by a Championship team! I don't want to see another damn penalty shootout, understand?! ”

In the away dressing room, the roar of the Chelsea manager resounded. At the same time, Wang Shuai sat on the chair in the home team's locker room, continuing the attack throughout the second half, and he was tired enough.

"Well done, we see hope again. But I want you to understand that the next half hour is going to be tougher than before. Because the physical advantage that we have always been proud of is no longer there. I even think that our opponents are more physically fit than we are. So, in extra-time we had only one goal, which was to keep the goal and then take the game to penalties, which was our only chance.

Wu Shi, Tress, you two have been staying in the front court. You don't need to run or anything, you can conserve your stamina, as long as you can keep the other party in danger at all times.

Okay, that's it, let's take a break. ”

……

Fitness, which has always been Aston Villa's strength, has been their disadvantage after continuing to attack throughout the second half.

And the managers of both teams are very clear about this.

So, after the start of extra time, except for Wu Shi and Treis, who were still near the center circle, the rest of Aston Villa's players withdrew to their own half. Chelsea, on the other hand, is that the midfielders all ran to the front and launched a front-court pressing tactic.

The situation in extra time turned into a remake of the second half, but the offensive and defensive sides reversed.

However, unlike in the second half, Villa's attack in the second half did not play a role at all, and now Chelsea's attack can frequently pose a threat to Villa's defence.

But that's all there is to it.

After 90 minutes of play, even if Chelsea had a physical advantage, it was only relative to their opponents, and in fact they were almost physically exhausted, and their attacking intensity was greatly reduced. Villa, on the other hand, are waiting for work by defending, and the back line is becoming more and more stable.

Until the 15-minute half, Chelsea's attack was ineffective, with the score still 2-2.

……

Chelsea's head coach is struggling.

Aston Villa's defence is getting more and more solid, and that's something he's already watching. Chelsea's side is becoming more and more physically exerted, which means that the probability of scoring goals will be lower and lower. According to the general idea, the next step should be to let the team shrink the formation to maintain the strength of the opponent. But then the game will inevitably be dragged into a penalty shoot-out, which is not what he wants to see.

However, if you want to continue to attack, not to mention the success rate, it is easy for the opponent to seize the vacancy and counterattack just because of the physical exertion. Even if Aston Villa continue to defend heavily in the final 15 minutes, overwork will put Chelsea at a disadvantage in the next penalty shoot-out.

Wang Shuai's side is much easier, they successfully held on for 15 minutes, and according to the current situation, Villa will have no problem holding on for another 15 minutes, no need to worry at all, and there is no need to make any tactical adjustments.

……

At the start of the second half, Chelsea opted to give up on attacking. A consistent defensive approach to play has influenced the team's attitude to the game, and when faced with the choice between attacking and defending, Chelsea have opted for a more measured style of play rather than gambling as Wang did in the second half.

And seeing Chelsea's retreat, Wang Shuai also began to struggle.

If Chelsea had continued to attack, Villa would not only have been able to withstand the pressure, but would have been able to regain the physical advantage in the next penalty shoot-out. As a result, the opponent is no longer attacking, which means that the physical advantage will no longer exist. And Villa's attack could not break through the opponent's defense, and could only watch the opponent rest in their own half.

Shameless!

Wang Shuai remembered the words that the Liverpool manager had said about him before.

Weak teams are forced to use defensive tactics against strong teams, but Chelsea, the Premier League champions, also use defensive tactics against Championship teams, which is really shameless.

However, there was nothing Wang Shuai could do, Chelsea just wanted to get the game into a penalty shoot-out, and he didn't have any fault at all.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and both teams were huddled in their own half, and the score remained unchanged, still 2-2.

……

"Wu Shi, Tress, Zhou Aniu, David, and then me, so be it. Don't overthink it, we've pushed them to penalties and that's enough to be proud of! ”

After the overtime, the players returned to the bench, and Wang Shuai arranged the penalty point order for them.

Needless to say, Wu Shi and Tress are two people who are forwards, and the penalty skills are naturally not a problem. Zhou Aniu's long-range shot and David's set-piece also mean that their shooting skills are also extraordinary. As for ranking himself to the end, Wang Shuai doesn't want others to bear too much pressure.

The five-minute break was fleeting, and the players from both sides came to the pitch to stand in two rows, while the two goalkeepers walked to the side of the goal and waited.

It was Aston Villa who took the penalty first.

Wu Shi walked to the penalty spot, glanced at the football, then at the goalkeeper, took two steps back, and then helped him to run.

Boom!

The goalkeeper guessed the wrong direction and the ball flew steadily across the goal line.

3:2！

Vera made the door after opening.

Chelsea's first penalty was Flick, the only grandmaster in the squad.

Boom!

Flick's running shot was the same as Wu's, and Villa's goalkeeper Cassel also guessed the wrong direction.

3:3！

Once again, the two sides are back on the same starting line.

Immediately afterwards, Villa's striker Treis and Chelsea's striker Amrenne also scored penalties, and the score of the two teams came to 4:4.

Then there is Zhou Aniu.

Boom!

After a powerful shot, the goalkeeper and the direction of the football were again reversed. However, instead of flying into the net, the ball went over the crossbar.

Zhou Aniu, who was accustomed to long-range shooting, used too much force. The hero who helped Villa equalise is now handing over the initiative.

However, Zhou's frustration did not last long, as Chelsea's third shot also missed. Cassel pounced in the right direction, held the football firmly in his arms, and saved Zhou Aniu's mistake.

Next up is David.

Looking at David's back towards the penalty spot, Wang Shuai suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he suddenly felt that letting David take the penalty might be a wrong decision.

Because Wang Shuai remembered the year 2004 in the original world.

At that year's European Championships, David played for England. As a result, David missed penalties twice against France and Portugal, and England also lost both games. David became a sinner in all England.

Wang Shuai knows that the current David has the memory of the original world, which means that the penalty kick is a hurdle in his heart that he can't pass.

But Wang Shuai had no time to change anything, and could only pray that David could complete his redemption.

……

David, who walked to the penalty spot, also had memories of the original world in his heart. He vividly remembers the ridicule and abuse from the fans after that European Championship.

"Wang Shuai actually asked me to take a penalty, it's really ......" David, who walked towards the penalty spot, muttered in his heart. David really didn't want to take this penalty if it was possible because he was afraid.

He is afraid that this key ball will be missed, and he is even more afraid that he will lose confidence in the penalty point forever after the penalty is missed. And once there is no confidence, the road to a player's growth is over.

"Fxxk, isn't it just a penalty, I don't believe it!" David was ruthless, took a deep breath, and then didn't even look at the goal, and directly helped him run with his feet.

Boom!

After the shot, David still didn't look up, he didn't dare to look at the result of the ball until ......

Brush!

The sound of the football entering the net rang in his ears, and David jerked his head up, and then he saw the goalkeeper who fell to the ground.

and football still rolling behind the goal line.

"Hahaha~! I entered~~~!! David raised his arms high, and then shouted as he ran back: "Wang Shuai, I scored a goal~!" I scored a penalty~! Hahaha~~~!! ”

Looking at David, who was already crazy, the stone in Wang Shuai's heart also fell to the ground.

Wang Shuai is not afraid of losing the game, because even if he loses today, he can win it back next year. Wang Shuai is more afraid that after David misses a penalty, he will collapse.

Luckily, the goal went in.

……

Except for Wang Shuai and David himself, no one else knew the story behind the ball, and the game continued.

David was followed by Chelsea's wing-backs, and this time Cassel was unable to continue his previous goal, once again making a mistake and the two sides were tied 5-5.

It's time for the fifth goal, and if it goes in, it will put a lot of pressure on Chelsea.

The penalty spot is only 11 meters away from the goal, and at this distance, the vast majority of shooting techniques, such as falling leaves, curling balls, will be useless because the distance is too close.

Many people think that penalty kicks are about the psychology and luck of both sides, but in fact, penalty kicks also have penalty skills. And Wang Shuai remembered the world's most famous spoon penalty.

The spoon penalty was invented in 1976 by former Czechoslovak star Palenka. France's Zinedine Zidane, Italy's Totti and Andrea Pirlo and other world-class players are also known for their spoon penalty skills.

Spoon Penalty KickAs the name suggests, the soccer ball draws an arc similar to a "spoon". This shooting technique consists of the penalty taker "rubbing" the ball into the middle and lobbing it into the goal. Since the goalkeeper generally chooses the side, the spoon penalty also has a very high goal rate, and this is also the reason why Wang Shuai chose the spoon penalty.

……

Wang Shuai stood in front of the penalty spot, closing his eyes and recalling the essentials of the spoon penalty.

This kind of ball is actually a kind of hanging shot, but unlike ordinary hanging shots, the spoon penalty cannot be "picked", but "rubbed", so as not to lift the ball off the crossbar.

After a few shots in his mind, Wang Shuai opened his eyes and took two steps back. Then he ran and didn't look at the goal, like David, but at the football. Then he kicked his right foot to the bottom of the center of the ball and rubbed the ball out.

After a series of movements, Wang Shuai raised his head, but immediately after, his eyes widened.

Because the Chelsea goalkeeper stood in front of the goal and didn't move at all, holding the football firmly.

……

It is true that Wang Shuai is skilled, but he misses the most important point. That is, the most important thing in taking penalties is not technique, but "cheating". No matter what technique is used, if the opponent sees through the intention of the penalty taker, then there is only one final result, and that is to miss the penalty.

Wang Shuai's spoon penalty kick can score a full score with a shooting action, but he didn't make any deceptive action at all, that is, he hoisted the ball straight to the middle of the goal. The Chelsea goalkeeper guessed the trajectory of the football when Wang Shuai swung his legs, so he didn't make a save at all, just stood in the middle of the goal and waited for the ball to fly.

Then, the goalkeeper made a meritorious service.

After making four incorrect guesses in a row, the Chelsea goalkeeper turned the tide and saved the crucial goal to snatch the initiative back.

Now it's not Chelsea who are under pressure, it's Aston Villa, or to be precise, Aston Villa's goalkeeper Cassel.

……

When Wang Shuai took the penalty, Kassel was watching from the edge of the penalty area. Seeing Wang Shuai's movements, Cassel shook his head. Because Wang Shuai's intentions are too obvious, he knows how to save this kind of ball when he stands next to him, let alone the Chelsea goalkeeper who is standing opposite Wang Shuai.

While recalling Wang Shuai's penalty just now, Kassel walked to the goal. Thinking about the Chelsea goalkeeper's movements, Cassel made up his mind that he had to see through the opponent's shooting path with this goal. It was the most crucial goal, and Cassel didn't want to guess a direction by chance.

So Cassel stood half-crouched in front of the goal line, his eyes fixed on the other man's legs. Two seconds later, Cassel sprang to his feet and pounced to the left.

At the same time as Cassel jumped out, the opponent also hit the football. The moment the football came into motion, Kassel was overjoyed.

He guessed the direction correctly!

But immediately afterward, Kassel was shocked.

Because the opponent shot a low flat ball, and Kassel himself pounced on the top corner of the goal.

Cassel hurriedly put his arm under him, trying to stop the ball flying close to the ground. But the penalty was too close after all, and it was too late for Kassel to make a saving move at this time.

Brush!

Ball in!

6:5！

After more than two hours, Chelsea finally won the game and knocked Aston Villa out of the competition.
