Chapter 586 Penalty Shootout

The key reason why those bookmakers temporarily changed the odds and made such a big change is the performance of the goalkeepers on both sides today, as well as the heritage of the two teams.

Before, Manchester United had super high odds, but it was only because they played one less man on the field. In the case of equal strength on both sides, one less person is undoubtedly fatal, and the list of examples is too numerous to repeat here.

However, when Manchester United stubbornly dragged the game into a penalty shoot-out, all their previous disadvantages will no longer be disadvantages.

After all, penalty shootouts, usually only need to use 5 people, even if there is an extension, it will not be too exaggerated, besides, even if it is really a Guinness record, the entire 100 rounds of penalties, Manchester United players can also be replaced, right?

In the penalty shootout, what will be compared will be the state of the goalkeepers of both sides, as well as the psychological quality of the players who are about to take the penalty on both sides.

As for luck? Well, it's not that luck isn't important, but it's obvious that bookmakers won't take it into account when they open odds.

Besides, it's hard to believe that luck was on Crystal Palace's side today, not afraid that they scored two goals in the last minute of regulation time and dragged the game into extra-time.

Because, if Palace were really lucky, they would have ended several battles in extra time, so why should the game be played with penalties like now?

At this point, it is clear that the root cause of the Crystal Palace's despisée has hatched out of the water.

The reason why most people in the outside world are looking down now is mainly due to the age of the players on both sides.

Manchester United's side, needless to say, like Wang Laoji, Scholes and the like, their experience is already rich to the bones, on the contrary, Crystal Palace, well, this Crystal Palace is most proud of the youthfulness of their squad, but now what causes them to be despised is precisely this-

The Crystal Palace he represents, as soon as he entered the penalty shootout, was directly ignored by the bookmaker, these contents, Li Yi, who is currently in the stadium, must not know, but even if he knows, Li Yi can only scoff at this statement.

Because, young people will not be able to play penalty kicks, this thing, no matter how it is for other Crystal Palace players, at least on Li Yi's side, it will definitely not have any effect.

Just kidding, Li Yi is the only one among all the tens of thousands of players in the highest league who has never missed a penalty in an official match, so Li Yi will be afraid of taking a penalty? Or, is this Li Yi not as good as the old men of Manchester United?

What the? The penalty shootout is a 5-person project, and it is useless for Li Yi to be Niu B alone?

Well, on this issue, Li Yi can only say that they think too highly of Manchester United and too low on Crystal Palace.

Others may not know, but there is a fact that Crystal Palace has never revealed to the outside world.

Although Li Yi still maintains a proud record of not conceding a penalty in an official match, it is not uncommon for Li Yi to miss a penalty when facing Diego Lopes when he is training in the team, but at least it is a frequent occurrence. And this ratio is about 15 to 1.

Although the things during training can only be used as an objective reference, and sometimes they don't even have the function of reference, but Diego López can save Li Yi's penalty, doesn't it really show his ability to save penalty?

Besides, in the case of Li Yi, not only is the stability of Li Yi's penalty kick further improved, but in the face of Li Yi, who can be called a demonic penalty kick taker, Lopez's ability to save penalty kicks has also improved?

In other words, Diego Lopes, who is about to play for Crystal Palace, may be less old than Van der Sar in many goalkeeper competitions, but at least in the penalty saves, Diego Lopes will definitely not lose much to Van der Sar.

No, in order to confirm his conjecture, Li Yi also deliberately spent a small amount of money boringly to check the information of Van der Sar in the Manchester United team that played against them today.

Then, it's better than not knowing, and it's more fun than Li Yi directly.

From this system, which I don't know how, but is absolutely good, the first person in the world to be able to clearly distinguish between Diego López and Van der Sar who saves more penalties has appeared.

As for who is powerful, Li Yi's answer is just two words-hehe-

"Okay, audience friends, audience friends, after a simple guess by the captains of both sides, this exciting penalty shootout is about to begin.

From the big TV screen, it is not difficult for everyone to tell that LEE, who won the guess before, wisely chose to take the penalty first and won the starting hand for Crystal Palace.

However, I believe everyone also understands that although the whole world knows that the side that takes the penalty first will have some advantages, but this advantage is also relative. If one of the Crystal Palace players who played first made a mistake before Manchester United, you can imagine that they would no longer be putting pressure on Manchester United, but stuffing the burden on themselves.

Of course, in any case, it is very correct to choose to play first after guessing the victory.

On the other hand, Manchester United, after losing the right to take the penalty first, Manchester United's captain Vidic today was very wise and pragmatic, choosing his own door as the shared goal for the next penalty shootout between the two sides.

Manchester United, as the visiting team today, and today's champion, is the first important championship produced by the English league this season, and the scene is crowded with more than 9 percent of Crystal Palace fans, and the few Manchester United fans in the audience, most of them are squeezed by Crystal Palace fans behind the goal chosen by Vidic at this moment.

Well, Crystal Palace fans must have never thought that the two sides would be able to play the penalty shoot-out they are now, otherwise, they would never have made such a low-level mistake.

However, it is already irreversible that things have developed so far. Speaking out, the fans of Crystal Palace may be very aggrieved, but the fact is that through this picking, Vidic has cleverly turned the home stadium of Crystal Palace into their home stadium of Manchester United. It has to be said that the probability of Manchester United's final victory has further improved.

Okay, we saw that Sneijder, the first player to take the penalty kick from Crystal Palace, had already entered the United penalty area with the ball.

As the No. 2 hero of Crystal Palace in this game, Sneijder's footwork must be speechless, and, compared with other young players who have no major tournament experience, Sneijder's experience is not too short compared to Manchester United's players.

Friedman arranged for Sneijder to come first, and it was clearly carefully arranged.

And, with Sneijder coming out on the pitch, although I'm not Walton, it's impossible to see the list of players arranged by Friedman on the Palace side, but I'm pretty sure that Crystal Palace will be the fifth player to play.

As we all know, when it comes to penalty kicks, coaches usually give the players with the best penalty ability to take the penalty above the first and fifth positions.

Now, Sneijder is out, then, obviously, LEE, who has never missed a penalty in an official match in his career, can be called the most stable penalty in the world, and Friedman will obviously be scheduled to play in the fifth.
