Chapter 631: Penalty Shootout (I)

PS: This is today's first update, and the 142,000 recommended plus more will be sent again in the evening. Also, by the way, ask for a recommendation ticket here......

While the commentators were commenting on the game, the Amsterdam Arena was a busy scene.

Fiorentina's team doctor and masseur were on the sidelines to massage the players and help them recover from fatigue for the upcoming penalty shoot-out, while Capello first observed the players' mental state and made sure they had recovered from the blow of the goal, and began to discuss the penalty shoot-out with Mourinho and other members of the Fiorentina coaching staff.

"José, go and call Francisco (Toldo), I have something to tell him."

"Okay, Fabio, I'll go now...... By the way, I've been curious since just now, what exactly is it that you're holding in your hand? Mourinho, who was about to greet Toldo, pointed to Capello holding a small piece of paper in his hand and asked curiously.

"Huh this?" Capello looked at Mourinho with some embarrassment, thinking to himself if he told this secret now, wouldn't it be a surprise?

"Haha, Jose, let's wait until the game is over to ask Fabio." Just when Capello hesitated, Murensten, who came with the team, laughed and pulled Mourinho aside and explained in a low voice, "Now this gadget can be said to be our Fiorentina's killer feature, you still don't ask so much...... Francisco! Hurry up, Coach Capello has something to look for you! ”

"Huh? Okay, I'll be right away! After hearing the shout, Toldo, who was receiving a massage, quickly got up and rushed to Capello's side.

"Hurry up and get this ready, preferably tucked into your socks." Seeing Toldo approaching, Capello stuffed the note in his hand into the opponent's hand and whispered, "This records the habit of all Juventus players taking penalty kicks, and you can take a seat according to the number written on the note when you save the penalty later." ”

"Huh?!" It was the first time Thordo had heard that he had grown so big, and he couldn't help but grow his mouth and sighed in surprise, "This thing can actually be counted?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hide your things quickly, and remember to take a look at the penalty kick later!" Capello angrily slapped Toldo's back, drove him back, and scolded with a smile, "If you can't save a penalty for a while, you are good-looking!" ”

"Hey, hey! Boss, you can't ...... to do something" Toldo also knew that Capello's last sentence was not serious, so he also replied half-jokingly.

After sending Toldo back to the sidelines, Capello began to work on the order of the Fiorentina players for the next penalty shoot-out.

In the midst of a tense and orderly busyness, the break time passed quickly before I knew it. When referee Cragg asked the players of both sides to step back on the pitch, tens of thousands of fans at the scene couldn't help but hold their breath and quietly wait for the upcoming penalty shootout!

On Fiorentina's side, the first player to come up to take the penalty was Ronaldo, and the alien's footwork and feints are of the top level, which can deceive Peruzzi very well.

Facing Peruzzi, who was standing on the goal line, Ronaldo played a sound after a run-up, and after deceiving Peruzzi's center of gravity to deviate from its original position, he directly picked up his right leg and volleyed, and the ball went into the net!

1 to 0, Fiorentina goes first!

After Ronaldo scored the penalty, the first player on the Juventus side to take the penalty, the French international Zinedine Zidane, began to walk towards the penalty spot, and he wanted to challenge Fiorentina's main goalkeeper Toldo!

Seeing that it was Zidane who came over to take the penalty, Toldo quickly opened the "cheatbook" in his hand, wrote down Zidane's penalty habits, and then stuffed the note into his socks and waited for the whistle from the referee.

"Antonio, do you think Fiorentina will win this penalty shootout?" As if infected by the heavy atmosphere on the court, Little Groz didn't dare to come out, and asked quietly in Zhuang Mingge's ear.

"This ...... I think I'm going to win about it. Zhuang Mingge said that he has even counted Capello for the penalty habits of all Juventus players, and it should be able to play a role anyway. And judging from Toldo's actions just now, he should have referred to the information on that note.

After all, in the 2006 World Cup, the German goalkeeper Lehmann made a deep impression on Zhuang Mingge in the quarterfinals with Argentina, so this time, he specially arranged for Mulensten and others to record the penalty habits of Juventus players through guò game videos and secretly observe pre-match training, which was summarized on a piece of paper and handed to Capello.

Let's hope Toldo can play to the level of his previous European Championship tonight, Zhuang Mingge thought uneasily.

Just when Zhuang Mingge's heart was going up and down, Zidane was also a little puzzled by Toldo's actions just now, and at the same time he was curious about the content of the note, and secretly guessed in his heart what was written on the note.

However, at this time, Kragg blew the whistle in his mouth, signaling that Zidane could kick a penalty.

So, Zidane just suppressed his curiosity for the time being, rushed towards the ball, and then directly kicked the bottom right corner of the goal!

Looking at Toldo's side again, this benevolent brother quickly pounced on his left side while thinking about Zidane's penalty habits written on the note!

As a result, Toldo almost touched Zidane's penalty, and the ball grazed the tip of Toldo's gloves and flew into the goal behind him!

1-1, the two teams are tied again!

Zidane raised his right arm and ran to his teammate with a smile on his face. Although the ball was almost saved by Toldo, Zidane still feels a little frightened in retrospect, but since the ball has flown into the opponent's goal, this episode is naturally insignificant.

So, in the ensuing celebration with the rest of the Juventus players, Zidane quickly put behind him the strange behaviour of Toldo before the penalty was saved. The Frenchman did not realize that it was because of this negligence on his part that Juventus suffered an unimaginable blow in the penalty shoot-out that followed!

While the Juventus players were celebrating, Toldo's side sighed in his heart the magic of this note.

"Damn, this thing the boss gave me is really not written blindly!" Although he couldn't save the penalty, Toldo, who got up from the turf, had already built up his confidence, and he believed that if he made the next move a little faster, he would definitely be able to deny the Juventus player's penalty!
