Chapter 588: Who's Going to Fall

"Well, after two rounds, everyone has also seen that now Crystal Palace and Manchester United are both in the first penalty and miss the second penalty, in this case, the penalty in the third round is particularly important.

So, who will Palace put on to make this crucial kick? We'll see.

OK, as expected, when it comes to the selection of penalty takers in the third round, Friedman and I expected to be about the same, both favored Gareth Bell. After all, in penalty shootouts, although it is said that the first and fifth picks are the most important, many times, in fact, the third main player is not much less important than the fifth player.

After all, not every penalty shootout can be played to the fifth round, and if the fifth round cannot be defeated, then the importance of the fifth round is impossible to talk about.

Okay, Gareth is already running, aiming for the bottom left corner of the goal, Gareth shoots!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ Pretty! Gareth played it perfectly, and he also looked at him as Yaya Toure Van der Sar.

Don't you Van der Sar like to point to the right? If the feeling is good, I'll hit you on the right. Gareth's idea just now, it must be like this.

I don't want to talk about how much confidence it takes to make such a decision, and how sure you are about your footwork, in short, Van der Sar just pointed one finger to the right side of the goal, but the direction of the pounce was the opposite direction, thinking that he could fool Gareth, but in fact he was self-defeating, allowing Gareth, who was not fooled by him, to score easily.

Of course, in fact, even if Van der Sar didn't have the previous careful eye, he might not be able to save it......

2-1, all the pressure has been kicked to Manchester United, after Giggs and Scholes, the two very sure old two have taken penalties one after another, who will Ferguson arrange to take this penalty?

Cristiano Ronaldo? It shouldn't be, after all, Ronaldo's status in the team is similar to that of LEE at Crystal Palace, and he is also Manchester United's usual first penalty taker.

OK, we don't need to guess, Manchester United has a very happy answer.

Wayne Rooney!

Together with LEE, one of the golden partners of England's striker who was mistaken by the outside world, he came to take this penalty, I believe there will be no problem.

Put the ball at the penalty spot, step back, run, oh my God!

Rooney is Rooney, at such a critical moment, Rooney actually chose a spoon to shoot, it's incredible! Or it can also be said that Rooney's mental quality is really outstanding.

However, unlike the highlights of Rooney's side, Diego Lopez, who had just saved Scholes's almost perfect penalty and shone brightly, was hit by Rooney again.

So far, the first three rounds of penalties between the two sides have been played. The score on the field is still 2-2.

Next, Crystal Palace's fourth player to make a appearance, as we have seen on the big screen, is the team's right winger Nasri.

Speaking of which, the commanders of the two warring sides today are all masters of art and bold.

Generally speaking, after 120 minutes of fierce battle, when the midfielder is physically exhausted, the coach will usually arrange for the latter player to take the penalty.

After all, as defenders, their consumption in the game is generally not too large, and at this time, physical fitness is much more important than technique.

But today we also saw that on the side of Crystal Palace, although the fifth player has not yet played, it is foreseeable that the fifth player must be LEE, in other words, Friedman arranged 5 front-court players to play penalties.

On the other hand, Manchester United, it seems that the situation is similar.

Okay, no nonsense, let's watch the game together. Let's see if Friedman's unconventional layout can lead to the ultimate victory.

Run-up, leg swing......

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ Nasri, French winger Nasri, a theoretical dead corner, hit the ball on the inside of the goal frame, it was perfect!

Haha, 3 to 2, no, it should be counted as 4 to 2, because, although LEE's penalty has not been kicked yet, his point can actually be recorded before the penalty shootout starts.

In other words, now, although the penalty kick has only reached the fourth round, Evra, who will play Manchester United next, has almost the key to the outcome of the whole game.

He scored this goal, and the game may continue to play for a few rounds, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case it doesn't score, then unfortunately, the first championship of the English league this season should be spent on Crystal Palace.

Will Patrice Evra be able to withstand the pressure and hit the ball safely? ――

Will Patrice Evra be able to take the penalty?

As myself, Evra's heart is really messed up at this moment!

If, if Nasri didn't score the penalty just now, without any pressure, Evra can be sure that his penalty goal rate is not 100%, but at least 9 percent.

But at this time, when Nasri took the first step to score a penalty, and knew as well as JACK that Li Yi, who was about to play in Crystal Palace, it was impossible for him not to score a penalty, in other words, the victory or defeat of the whole game was pinned on his next kick, as a defender, Evra, who was not a strong point after all, was empty.

With his hands hanging on his thighs, he slapped his thighs a few times, taking advantage of the pain, barely bringing himself out of the previous panic, for fear that Evra, who would change later, didn't even think about it, and rushed directly towards the ball he placed on the penalty spot.

Closer, closer, until Patrice Evra rushed to about 1 metre behind the ball, strode forward with his right foot, and swung with all his strength with his left foot......

"Bump!" Feeling the touch of his left foot in contact with the ball, Evra, who knew that he had eaten the ball very accurately, just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next development of things on the football field made Evra's whole person fall into the brink of collapse.

……

A once-in-a-century situation, he was caught up by Evra. And it was in such an important game, looking at the ball that was kicked directly into the stands by himself, Evra, who fell to the ground, closed his eyes in pain.

Mold!

Unlucky!

Too unlucky!

Too bad luck!

Before, Evra, who could have played a very high-quality penalty, was able to step out of a big hole on the turf due to the excessive force of the supporting leg when shooting, causing him to fall, such a situation, I believe no one could have predicted in advance.

However, now, such a seemingly incredible, unlikely and unlikely event has really happened on the pitch, in the face of such an ending, what do you want Evra to say?

I don't know what to say, so Evra can only cry!

What, fell, penalty kick re-penalized?

Don't even say it, Evra had such an idea in the first place he fell, and almost put it into practice.

However, Evra's reason jumped out in time and told Evra a fact - penalty shootouts, there is no chance to rewind, no matter what reason you have, the penalty is missed, it is a penalty missed! Want to rekick? It's not impossible, let's wait for the next penalty shootout. ”
