Chapter 238: Penalty Shootout

Extra-time, it's something that no team wants to face, because it's an extremely hard job for the players, and it's an ordeal for the fans.

Due to the serious decline in physical strength, both teams have changed personnel, but even so, even if the three substitutions are used, only three people can maintain strong physical strength, you must know that a team is eleven people in the game, three people are too good in physical strength, but they will be out of touch with others, which is not necessarily a good thing.

Therefore, the process of overtime is completely devoid of the excitement of the official game time, and the further it goes, the more lackluster the performance of the two teams becomes, and it seems that they are a little out of breath when they walk.

"Although both teams hope to solve the problem in overtime, their physical strength does not allow it, both teams are obviously a little exhausted, and the game scene is not as exciting as before, but looking at their gritted teeth and persevering, you know that both sides have not given up."

'It was a classic Champions League final and by now, I can say that whoever wins in the end will be respected on both sides, as will the losers, who have earned their dignity with their performances.

On the sidelines, Heynckes and Klopp are both solemn, and so far in the game, they are embarrassed to criticize the performance of the players, as long as everyone is playing seriously, it is enough, as for whether the performance is good or not, that is another matter.

On the field, Lin Yu desperately wanted to score, but he had to help his teammates defend, because scoring a goal could win the championship, but conceding a goal could lead to losing the championship.

This is not the beginning of the game. There's still that much time, in extra time. Anyone will play carefully, and if you lose a goal, it will kill you.

Bayern Munich's players think the same way. Even Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery will often come back to defend and even go back into their own box.

If Lin Yu wants to score again, he will not face the backline, but the entire Bayern Munich.

The extra time was not long, and the two halves combined were only a little bit of time, and it passed in a blink of an eye.

In the midst of a dull and uncomfortable game, the players of both teams suddenly heard the referee's whistle because they were concentrating on the game. I have lost track of time.

"Overtime is over! The score of the two teams has not changed, 2:2! Next will be a more heart-testing penalty shootout, the fans and friends on the scene, the fans in front of the TV, are you ready to bear this psychological pressure? ”

When it comes to penalty shootouts, many glass-hearted fans are bitter, and they don't dare to watch it at all, because in addition to testing the strength of the goalkeepers of the two teams, luck is the decisive factor in the penalty shootout. No matter how strong your individual ability is, you are the most valuable player in the world, you are the king of the ball, when you stand on the penalty spot. Those abilities don't necessarily have much effect.

Many fans couldn't stand the torment, and they even simply changed the table during the penalty shootout, or turned off the sound on the computer. Minimize the video and sit there anxiously counting the time.

They prefer to wait until after the penalty shoot-out to see the result. It's better that way, if you look at the end from the beginning. They really don't know if they can stand it.

With so much pressure from the fans, the pressure on the players can be imagined.

This is the first time Lin Yu has faced a penalty shootout, and he is a little hesitant and a little uneasy, which is also a rare situation.

"Don't feel pressure, you've come this far, calm down!" Jurgen Klopp told the players who took the penalty before the shoot-out.

But I can't calm down!

People are not machines, not icebergs, in the face of such an exciting moment, a moment when a ball may change the ownership of the championship, can you calm down?

Even Lin Yu, who has always been calm, can't care at all, let alone others.

From the bottom of his heart, Lin Yu was reluctant to take a penalty, his own skills were not good, so he tried to avoid it if he could.

However, after Klopp looked at the situation of the players, he decisively arranged Lin Yu into the list of penalty kicks.

"Can you?" Klopp asked.

Lin Yu was silent.

"If it really doesn't work, I can barely change someone else, it's not a shameful thing, I just don't want you to have regrets." Klopp said again.

"No problem, I can do it!" Lin Yu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

If it's a man, stand up! Even if you can't, stand up!

When the team needs you, you can't run away from it! To flee is to surrender!

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words." Klopp has always been very confident in Lin Yu, and Lin Yu has also proved his ability with his performance, there is nothing to doubt.

When the penalty shoot-out began, Bayern Munich took the penalty first.

The first to stand in front of the penalty spot was not Robben, not Franck Ribery, but Lahm, and the captain was going to lead the way at this time.

Lahm was calm on the surface, but he didn't know what was going on in his mind, but the quality of the penalty was very good, and he fired a shot into the bottom right corner of the net, and Weidenfeller didn't have time to react.

When it was Dortmund's turn, the five players who were called for the penalty looked at each other, and they were reluctant to be the first experiment, you must know that the penalty kick, the pressure of the first person is the greatest, after all, once you miss the penalty, it is likely to affect the players behind you, and if you score the penalty, the people behind will be much easier.

"I'm coming!" Lin Yu stood up, although he thought that the level of penalty kicks was not very good, but now his physical strength is the best, and the impact of physical strength on the accuracy of penalty kicks is very great, if the physical strength is good, the quality of the penalty kick will definitely be better.

"Are you okay?"

"No problem!"

Lin Yu walked towards the penalty spot, and he took a deep breath.

"Dortmund first appeared in front of the penalty spot was Lin Yu, it was actually Lin Yu! It is said that this player is not good at penalty kicks, what gives him this confidence? ”

Breathe deeply, then exhale slowly.

Lin Yu calmed himself down. At the very least, you can keep thinking about nothing for the time being, and just focus on taking this penalty in.

saw Lin Yu standing in front of the penalty spot. Jurgen Klopp was also nervous, and the Dortmund fans in the stands were even more nervous. Lin Yu is not good at penalty kicks but is famous, everything the team encounters penalties, they are punished by others, he doesn't even touch it at all, and now he is the first to stand in front of the penalty spot, what makes him have such great courage? Is he really not afraid of failure, and then being spurned and abused by the fans?

Run up!

Then get your feet up!

The ball flew out and hit the post straight onto the post.

"Ahh It worked! It worked! Lin Yu successfully deceived Neuer and hit the ball into the goal! ”

In frustration, Neuer slammed his fist into the post. He thought that facing Lin Yu would be an opportunity, after all, it was rumored that Lin Yu's penalty level was not very good, in fact, Lin Yu did not punish this ball very well, but the cunning fox still deceived Neuer after all, making him deflated.

"Although the ball hit the post first, it bounced into the goal, and I have to say that even God is bless this young man!"

After this penalty kick was kicked out, Lin Yu's whole person seemed to collapse suddenly. His body shook, but he barely managed to stand still, and walked back between his teammates, shoulder to shoulder with them. Everyone's hands were on the shoulders of their teammates, praying for Bayern Munich to miss a penalty and for their players to score them all.

Bayern Munich's second goal went in.

Borussia Dortmund's second goal also went in.

Bayern Munich's third goal went in.

Borussia Dortmund's third goal also went in.

If it goes on like this. If all five people are punished, then they will have to face the law of sudden death. It's going to be even more brutal at that time.

Thankfully, it came on the fourth ball. Bayern Munich's penalty was taken by Arjen Robben, whose ball was held in Weidenfeler's arms.

The Dortmund fans shouted excitedly, and the players clenched their fists, waiting, expecting, watching, and hoping for it.

But helplessly, Dortmund's fourth goal was also saved by Neuer.

'There's no doubt that it's a contest between two goalkeepers, they don't convince each other, they did really well in the official game and they're still that good.'

The fifth goal will decide the fate, if one side misses and the other team scores, then the champion comes out.

Bayern Munich stands on the penalty spot is Thomas Muller, although he is young, he has long been the main force of Bayern Munich, the main force of the German team, and his mature mentality is also one of the reasons why Heynckes arranged him as a penalty taker.

"The ball is in! Now that the pressure has shifted to Dortmund's side, is it to continue with the sudden death law? Or is it this last-minute decision on who the championship is? ”

Many of the fans in the stands closed their eyes and prayed silently.

Fans who turned off the TV or changed the station finally couldn't help but turn on the TV and turn the station back.

The eyes of football fans all over the world are staring at this last person, and his pressure can be imagined.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead and fell on the grass, making a splash.

He swallowed, his Adam's apple throbbing, and he made a whimpering sound.

Success or failure!

In one fell swoop!

He looked back at his teammates, they were praying for him with their heads down, he didn't want to disappoint them, he was going to get this ball in!

He moved.

Let's get running!

His eyes were on the bottom left corner of the goal, which was the position he had already thought of, he didn't want to push too hard, he didn't want to use too little force, he just played as he usually did.

"Bang!"

The collision between the sneaker and the ball creates a huge force that blasts the ball out.

He stared at the direction the ball was flying.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in his eyes.

"Champion! The winner is Bayern Munich! They won, and they finally got their hands on this hard-earned Champions League trophy in four seasons! ”

The commentary was congratulating Bayern Munich, but there was no sound in Lin Yu's ears, he could only feel that his heart was "plopping" and jumping, and it was beating faster and faster.

Unwilling!

I'm really unwilling!

Why is it a penalty shootout, why did you fall here, you can obviously touch the championship trophy, why is this happening?

If it weren't for his excellent psychological quality, I'm afraid he would have fainted by now.

Listening to the cheers of Bayern Munich's fans, Lin Yu finally couldn't help crying.

Young him, the first time he was so close to the top of Europe, but he missed it, he tried, but it was not enough, not strong enough!

He thought of Baggio's sad eyes, Cristiano Ronaldo's tears in the European Championship final, and the tears and sadness of countless players after the final.

At this moment, he really felt that he understood them too well. (To be continued.) )

PS: PS, at the end of this chapter, there may be a lot of readers who are not very happy, but I think it's more unwilling, like Lin Yu, if you take everything you should take in the first season, then there will be no pursuit, so I thought of writing like this from the beginning when I wrote the book, how to see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain.

But there are definitely not many chapters like this, this article is not an abuse of the main article, so it is basically based on refreshing, and this time the defeat of the Champions League is also to achieve a more refreshing climax.
