Chapter 153: Penalty Shootout

'As you can see, Manchester United scored, it was a very good combination and it was Depay who scored the last kick. In the British studio, I thought that the person who said this was Ferdinand, but the audience clearly saw that the expected Fei Dashao was crying and laughing at the moment, which was very disobedient, but it was moving.

So the person who just spoke was actually Keton! Isn't this guy a manhei? Why the sudden change of tone? At this moment, Keton's expression was actually very serious, could it be that he had enlightened? Or is it that even if he hates Manchester United again, it is a Premier League team after all, and seeing the wonderful performance at this moment, as an Englishman, he is sincerely proud, maybe it is true.

"But I have to mention that everyone can see that the fans of Huaxia are really very passionate, everything that happened just now and what is happening now, I believe everyone has also felt this kind of passion, which also makes me very much looking forward to the performance of Chinese fans in the future, and their promotion of Chinese football will be huge." Keton seemed to be a little incoherent, but looking at the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans in the broadcast screen, Keton seemed to have a lot of emotion.

It was a goal that seemed to have taken all the luck, strength, spirit and other invisible things of the Manchester United players, and what was visible was that Manchester United and Barcelona were sleepwalking in the ten or so minutes, including injury time.

After the re-kick-off, Barcelona was not in a hurry to attack for a while, and Manchester United did not rush forward to rush forward for the first time, as if everyone had agreed on it, that is, slowly and leisurely, you pound the ball, I will stand for a while, and welcome the new era in the future together.

The referee also seemed to have insight into everyone's thoughts, and he also knew that the players on both sides were really tired, running desperately for dozens of minutes, and now it was time for them to rest. So when the time came to 91 minutes, the referee did not hesitate at all, regardless of the fact that there were 3 minutes left in injury time, and directly blew the whistle for the end of the regular game.

It can be seen that the fierceness of this game is not only on the field, but even the fans and friends in the stands are very tired, they have experienced too much in this game.

"Guys, you don't have time to rest." Lippi waited for the Barcelona players to return to the dugout, went straight up, and wanted to make a statement about chicken soup for the soul when they didn't agree with everyone.

"Coach, can you stop talking? I'm tired right now. Neymar had a bitter face, taking the mineral water handed by his teammates with one hand, and grabbing his head with the other hand, looking very aggrieved.

"Well, you just know anyway, even if we don't score, we can't let the opposition score, it's a big deal to drag it to penalties, we have more experience than them." Lippi looked at everyone's urine, and knew that too much chicken soup would only make everyone physically and mentally exhausted, so it was better to stop ordering and let everyone have more time to rest.

And Lippi's plan is not wrong, the second half of extra time is a total of 30 minutes, according to everyone's physical fitness now, it is estimated that there will be no tricks, it is better to put the duel on the penalty kick, and the penalty project, it is simply Barcelona has all the advantages!

Messi, Neymar, Samper, Alvarez, these four are all good penalty shooters, especially Messi and Neymar, these two have a lot of experience in the tournament, and sometimes the mentality is the most important thing in that kind of decisive moment.

On the other hand, on the Manchester United side, except for Balotelli, who can be regarded as a veteran, the rest of the people are relatively young, besides, Balotelli, a veteran, is not as stable as Xiao Yu! So Lippi thinks that if the game does come to penalties, Barcelona will win more than half of the first game.

And the probability of winning the final victory is at least above 7 layers! This is already a very high probability! That's what Lippi thought, and that's exactly what he did.

On the other hand, the Manchester United players who returned to the arms of the coach of Mu Shuai were also tired like dogs, especially Depay and Andrea, these two gods sprinted very hard today, so they seemed to be deeply confused at the moment; This kind of confusion is called, Ya has no physical strength, how can he do it later?

"You don't need to worry, just have a good rest." Mu Shuai's words are very few, and everyone can see that now the former's face is very weird, tired and excited coexist, anxiety and expectation go hand in hand, this is simply a face that accommodates all kinds of things in the world, a little dark, but it looks very stable; At this moment, Mu Shuai didn't say much, he just looked at everyone quietly.

"Nope! Chief, we want to hear you, and hearing your voice at this time is as if God is reassuring us. Andrea's sycophant shot was actually not on point at all, but it also expressed everyone's wishes, even Xiao Yu had to agree, at this moment you can hear Mu Shuai's voice, it is indeed like a booster, making people stable, just like Zhou Kai before.

"Are you trying to curse me for returning to the West early? What does it mean to be like God? Why don't I sing you a hallelujah? Mourinho was talking serious nonsense, and when it came to singing, everyone's expressions instantly became very indescribable.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Harry......

“NO! Boss, we're our own people! ”

"Don't do that, sir! There's something to say! ”

"My own people!"

Mu Shuai's singing just started, but he suffered a merciless blow from the big guy, and in an instant, the former's face became richer, which also made Mu Shuai's close-up on the big screen extremely exciting, and what everyone saw from the broadcast was a blue face.

It is conceivable that the news of discord between the generals and the story that the players and the manager have to tell will take off tomorrow in the major media, and the truth will go far away......

――

Soon, the time to come finally came, and Barcelona's extra time, a terrifying half an hour, during this time, Manchester United must want to attack, Lippi wants to get, Mu Shuai naturally wants to get, so Mourinho said a very short sentence at the moment before everyone was about to take the field.

"There are many dreams at night, and I will fight when I go up." This phrase encapsulates all the essence of Mourinho; The decisive, bold, iron-blooded and so on style is clearly revealed, and this is the new style that Jose Mourinho has given to Manchester United now.

Having said that, but ten minutes have passed, and the game between the two sides seems very dull, even Xiao Yu has become as if he has lost his former aura, and there are frequent mistakes in passing, and Barcelona, naturally, is the same, they didn't want to play a counterattack, but every time they steal the ball, the next moment they are lost in the defensive circle of Manchester United's defender Mensah.

Seeing this scene, Mu Shuai and Lippi were not as anxious as everyone imagined, but silent, the two of them were preparing for something tacitly, and Giggs knew that this should be the penalty order.

The first half of overtime was very fast, and it was over in the blink of an eye, but the players' feelings were obvious, they were overdrawn, Xiao Yu even felt some cramps in his feet, although his physique has changed drastically now, but after all, it is still at the lower middle level in Europe, and it is still quite fatal to encounter such a high-intensity game.

In the second half of extra time, Manchester United finally made some waves, and Ba Shen finally found his shooting form, and he shot hard in the hinterland of Barcelona! made the opposing goalkeeper Ondoa break out in a cold sweat.

Ondoa is also a tragedy, just after Depay's goal, the latter directly tried a big middle finger with the former, this scene made Ondoa very uncomfortable, but helpless, anyway, as long as Manchester United has a shot today, within the goal frame, Ondoa will receive a very disgusting look.

For example, Ba Shen at this moment, after shooting the goal, he just stood in place and watched quietly, even if the shot did not go in, but it was indeed very threatening, and with the roar of the fans in the stands, Ondoa wanted to kneel on the ground, begging everyone to stop targeting, this feeling is really uncomfortable, as if he is a class prisoner.

For the goal, the shot is the goal, this can not change the situation that the two teams do not score in overtime, draw again, just wait for the referee to blow the whistle, there is no injury time in extra time, and the time, it has been 120 minutes.

"Prepare for the penalty." As the referee's whistle came to an end, the fourth official went to the coach's box of the two teams, which was a notice, and at the same time, he also had to collect the penalty order reported by everyone.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Yu, who was lying on the grass, looked at the blue sky of the Chinese motherland, and didn't want to get up, but with the referee's request, the players of the two teams were about to start gathering in the middle circle.

"Ba Shen is the first to go up, Neves, you are the second, Depay, you have to hold steady, you are the third to go up, Martial, you are the fourth, and the most important fifth, Xiao Yu, I will leave it to you." Mu Shuai's arrangement is still more targeted; Usually the first and fifth are the most stressful, and of course, it is possible that the fifth will not even have a chance to play.

Older and recently performed well, Ba Shen was naturally the first to step forward to take a penalty, which is indisputable, and Ba Shen really deserves the title of top scorer.

The second is Neves, his steadiness is the focus of the transition from the second to the third order, and it is also what Mourinho wants to express, so that Neves' performance will stabilize Depay, who appeared in the third place;

Anthony Martial, on the other hand, was a player who had just been substituted in extra time, and he replaced Andrea, who was more physically exhausted, who really couldn't run.

The fifth is naturally Xiao Yu, Mu Shuai has been learning Chinese culture recently, so he naturally knows what good goods are and what the finale is, and he also knows how important the meaning of the word miracle is in Huaxia, so Mu Shuai unconditionally believes in Xiao Yu and believes that he will create miracles.

The order of Manchester United has been confirmed, and the fans are very happy to see the order on the big screen, and the non-stop shouting cheers affirm this set-up.

On the other hand, Barcelona's arrangement is a bit dazzling.

In order, Álvarez-Neymar-Messi-Samper, the last one, is actually goalkeeper Ondoa!

How big is this heart? When Mu Shuai saw this order, he was completely stunned, Lippi is not too ambitious! Not only fantasizing about the European championship, but also wanting to create a story about Manchester United!

Two possibilities! The first is that Lippi believes that by the fourth penalty player on the field, Barcelona has already sealed the victory, and the second is that even in the fifth round, let the goalkeeper Ondoa, who has attracted much attention from Manchester United, go up to the penalty shot, if it is because of his penalty that Barcelona won the final victory, then there will be another classic in world football, but it is a shame for Manchester United.

Whatever the possibility, Lippi decided that Barcelona would definitely take the penalty victory, which was the basis and what everyone thought was the most likely thing to happen.

According to the convention, or can't help it, everyone is on their teammates, shoulder to shoulder, both hands go around, this is a kind of mutual support, after all, the penalty is too cruel, Xiao Yu at this moment, feels that his feet are trembling, not tired, but caused by this monstrous pressure.

The first to step forward was the Barcelona player, Alvarez, who has a steadiness that does not match his age; After placing the ball in the intended place, he looked at United goalkeeper Scuffett, and both men felt nervousness from the other, but also from himself.

But the arrow had to be fired, and Alvarez began to run!

Left right? Scuffett looked nervously in front of him, he saw Han Dong through Alvarez, who was preparing to shoot! He's standing in the middle circle with everyone!

Han Dong is also very nervous, although he is not a Manchester United player now, but he also came here with everyone, Skufet is a very powerful goalkeeper, Han Dong knows very well in his heart, so the competition next season will be very fierce, but now this moment, it is not the time to think about this, because this involves a sense of team honor, in the big family of Manchester United, personal things can only be ranked behind!

So Han Dong gave Skufet a firm look and trusted his own judgment! Anyone's heart can be shaken, only the goalkeeper cannot, because a good goalkeeper is born with his own sensitivity to the ball, that is, the judgment of the ball path, at this point, Han Dong is doing very well, so he has reason to believe that Skufet, who is as good as him, will do better!

It's moving! The ball moves, and so do the people! At this moment, most of the fans even covered their eyes, it was too cruel!

The ball rolled against the turf slid past Skufit's ten fingers, but alas! He judged the right direction and couldn't save the ball, Alvarez's shot was too tricky!

Penalty 1-0! Barcelona leads!

"Run, Mario!" Just as Ba Shen was about to step forward, he heard Andrea's weak cry behind him, which moved the former very much; However, Ba Shen also has a doubt, can you stop shouting like this next time, it sounds like playing Super Mario...... (To be continued.) )
