Chapter 587 is gripping

"Okay, look, Sneijder is already running!

Knock on the door! Pretty! Sneijder managed to fool Van der Sar and sent the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, 1-0! Crystal Palace took the lead in a penalty shoot-out for the time being.

Sneijder's kick can be regarded as giving all the pressure to Manchester United, and now it will be up to Ryan Giggs, who is the first to play on Manchester United's side.

As the oldest player in the current Manchester United squad and an ageless legend, can Ryan Giggs withstand the pressure and help the team recover the slump? Let's all wait and see.

Set the ball, Giggs starts to run, shoot!

Pretty! It's a beautiful fight!

I believe that everyone has seen the mood of Ryan Giggs through this ball. Such a powerful burst of shots is not something that any player dares to use.

It can be said that any player who is a little hesitant in his heart dares to use explosive shooting at such a critical moment!

After all, the power used is large, although the goalkeeper is not easy to save, but correspondingly, the control of the ball will be much more difficult than pushing, I think at the beginning, a generation of Tianjiao Robert Baggio, didn't he also fall before 12 yards?

Well, with Ryan Giggs scoring the penalty, the pressure is on Crystal Palace.

So, who will be Crystal Palace's second penalty taker?

Yaya Toure! That's right, it's just returned from injury, Crystal Palace's midfielder Yaya Toure!

As a guy who is rough on the outside, delicate on the inside, and has a flowing style on the field, I have to say that the purchase of 36 million from Barcelona is the most successful transaction that Crystal Palace has made in the past two years except for the deal of LEE.

However, at such an important moment, could Yaya Toure withstand the pressure on his shoulders and score this crucial penalty?

This may have to wait for time to prove!

Haha, you see, as an old demon like Ryan Giggs, Van der Sar began to play mental tactics after being broken by Sneijder.

Unlike the usual goalkeeper's preparation with his hands stretched out when preparing to save a penalty, Van der Sar only raised his right hand before Yaya Toure took the penalty, as if he was using his actual actions to tell Yaya Toure that he would pounce on the right side of his body.

Do you trust the opponent and hit the ball to the right side of the goal, or do you firmly believe that Van der Sar is fooling him and kick the ball to the left?

A very difficult choice. If it were me, I would definitely be forced at this time, but no matter how you say Yaya Toure's performance, everyone can see it, so let's take a look at his performance.

Run-up, huh? Yaya Toure had a noticeable pause before the shot, and he was very hesitant to play! Shot!

Oh, my God! Damn, Van der Sar blocked Yaya Toure's shot with his own foot when his body lost his center of gravity, and Yaya Toure's penalty kick flew away!

Hey, I'll just say it, before Yaya Toure took the penalty, it was obvious that he was confused by Van der Sar's previous actions, and the whole person seemed too hesitant, when shooting, this performance was more obvious, and he was not LEE, and he couldn't use the pause before LEE took the penalty to the fullest, resulting in the goalkeeper not at all.

Moreover, in the end, Yaya Toure's shooting direction was obviously not very rational, choosing the middle, which seemed to avoid Van der Sar's previous feints, but in fact, didn't he fall into Van der Sar's trap?

And with Yaya Toure kicking his own penalty kick away, the disadvantage of LEE choosing to kick the penalty first was also revealed at this moment.

Next, as long as the second player of the Manchester United team will take the penalty, then the next three penalty takers who have not played in Crystal Palace will be under pressure a hundred times heavier than now before they go on the field, so let's all pray for Crystal Palace together, and pray that Diego Lopes, who played in the average game today and had no bright spots, can turn the tide and save the team at the last moment. But can he do it?" ――

Can Diego López do it?

Looking at Scholes, who was smiling and holding the ball and slowly walking towards the big penalty area step by step, it would be a lie to say that Diego Lopes was not nervous at this time, especially after Yaya Toure missed a penalty and brought Crystal Palace into a dangerous situation, the pressure on Diego Lopes is absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people.

Under the shocked gaze of Scholes, who had been quietly on the pitch after placing the ball properly to the penalty spot and slowly retreating, Diego López, who had been inconspicuous on the field, made a move that surprised Scholes.

First, he stretched out a hand, signaling the referee and Scholes to wait a little, and then, put his right hand with gloves under the armpit of his left hand and clamped it, after taking off the protection, he pulled it out hard to remove the gloves, and then, when everyone didn't understand what he was doing, Diego López waved his right hand that had just taken off his gloves and slapped him in the face.

"Smack!" Listening to the sound in his ears that could suppress the commotion of the fans at the scene, it is not difficult for Scholes to imagine how hard Diego López slapped himself just now.

However, just when Scholes couldn't help but want to ask Diego Lopez if he was in pain, Diego Lopez didn't know when to bring the glove back to his hand and made a gesture to the referee that he was okay.

Hearing the whistle of Walton ordering a penalty, he looked coldly at Diego Lopez, who had made strange moves before, and forced himself to calm down, not to be distracted by the strange actions of the other party, probably feeling that he had adjusted his mentality to the most ideal position, Scholes pressed down with his upper body and began to run.

Closer, closer, as the ball got closer and closer, Scholes kept simulating in his mind the situation where he expected to shoot the ball from all angles, and finally, after some struggle, Scholes made the decision of the direction of the next shot before the whole person rushed in front of the ball.

"Bump!" is also a burst shot, and Wang Laoji, who was the first to play in the team, and Scholes, who is also confident, in order to avoid the chance that although it is not high in his opinion, the penalty is blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, he deliberately made full efforts when shooting.

Feeling the contact between his right foot and the ball and the feeling of full contact, Scholes, who has been playing football for many years and can judge the quality of his shot just by the touch of his feet and the ball, came to a conclusion at the first time, that is, he has this penalty!

However, when the confident Scholes raised his head and planned to greet the cheers of his own fans behind the goal not far away, Scholes's original smile condensed on his face.

Because, as far as his eyes could see, Diego López, who had not been looked up to him before, was now rising from the ground with a bone, and let out a roar like that of a beast in the primeval jungle.

The game is in the middle of the game, and Scholes doesn't think that just one goal can drive Diego López crazy, so the opponent's performance can only mean one thing, that is, the opponent saved his inevitable penalty, and now by roaring, he is celebrating.

I am so confident in the penalty, not only power, but also angle, such a penalty, how much of a miss may be saved by the opponent?

With such a question in mind, Scholes, full of disbelief, turned his head and searched for the ball he should have been looking for a long time ago.

Then, not looking at it, not worrying, this look, Scholes really panicked, because, in his opinion, the ball that should have been broken did not appear in the goal as he expected.

This situation can only show one problem, that is, Diego López, it seems that he really saved his shot.

Holding his head in his hands in disbelief and sighing 2 sentences, glancing at Diego López, who had never been in his eyes before, Scholes turned around and walked towards the center circle with a dejected expression.

In other words, Scholes was so confident before, which shows that his shooting is really good, and in such a situation, Diego Lopes can actually save the ball, is it an exaggeration, right?

Actually, it's not an exaggeration at all.

Because, although Scholes said that the ball had both power and angle, but unfortunately, because he did not ignore a very important factor, this shot, Scholes kicked the ball.

Well, if Scholes had pushed a little harder, had eaten the ball a little bit more, and played the ball high into a ball, it might not have mattered, and Diego López categorically couldn't have saved the ball.

However, as it is now, despite the excellent speed angle, it is the goalkeeper's favorite half-high ball, and Diego Lopes moved in advance to judge the direction of Scholes' shot.

It was no surprise that Scholes' shot was blocked by Diego López.

So far, after 2 rounds of penalty shootouts, the score of Crystal Palace and Manchester United on the field has remained 1-1. The advantage is back on the side of Crystal Palace again.
