Chapter 460: The battle between two goalkeepers

Xiao Ming stood by the coach's seat with a calm expression, but his mentality was not as calm as it appeared. In fact, the game has played the penalty kick so far, which is not what Xiao Ming hopes to see. After all, AC Milan won the Champions League through a penalty shootout this year. Even though Xiao Ming has changed a lot of history, he still had some unknown premonition when he saw the Champions League final step by step towards the familiar historical direction.

Although he practiced the penalty before the game, before an important final, there was enough time. What team wouldn't deliberately practice the penalty? Although he asked the members of the coaching staff to collect the habits of AC Milan players when they were punishing penalty kicks, this move may not be able to play any role...

The penalty kicks are a bet on life, and the bet on who is better luck.

Fanny walked towards the penalty spot, and the players from Leiden East stood behind him and cheered for him - the first one to get the penalty was Leiden East.

Jasquelenen and Vanny hit their palms, then walked to the side, and Dida stood in front of the goal, moving her body.

The big and thick goalkeeper had a calm expression on his face. Fanny glanced at him, then straightened his waist and took a few steps back.

Fanny has taken many penalty kicks, most of which have scored, but this is the first time he has taken the penalty kick under such important circumstances.

He wanted to concentrate, but he didn't know why he suddenly missed the World Cup and European Cup in a row. Logically speaking, he was already a veteran who participated in the Champions League finals with the team and scored goals. There was no reason to think of something that would definitely not be beneficial at this time...

Shaking his head vigorously, as if he wanted to drive the distracting thoughts out of his mind, Fanny barely calmed down and focused all his attention on the ball.

Seeing Fanny's appearance, a hint of joy flashed in Dida's eyes. He jumped back and forth twice, then deliberately moved half a step to the left, and stopped there.

Want to lure me to shoot to the right? Do you underestimate me too much?

Fanny immediately understood Dida's psychological thoughts, and a rage arose from his heart. At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded!

Fanny runs up, starts, and the lower right corner - that is, on the left side of Dida!

Aren't you trying to lure me to hit your right? I just hit your left! He thought so the moment he shot the ball out.

However, Dida rushed to his left, and saw the ball coming, and threw the ball out with one hand!

The cheers of AC Milan fans suddenly burst out, and Fanny's heart instantly became cold.

Dida supported her hand and jumped up from the ground, then waved her fist at Fanny and roared loudly!

"Damn!" Xiao Ming slapped the lawn suddenly - the first penalty was not scored! In this way, AC Milan's advantage was very obvious!

Fanny walked back in a daze, feeling guilty in his heart - it turned out that Dida wanted to lure him to hit this side... As soon as his ball was shot out, he was already rushing in that direction...

Jasquelenen looked at Fanny's back, then tightened his gloves tightly and stood in front of the door.

Because only the referee and the fourth official knew the order of the penalty kicks, Jasqueline didn't know who he was facing. He kept seeing a thin black figure walking towards him and only then did he know that the opponent was the Brazilian full-back Serginho.

In such an important game, Ancelotti lets a full-back get the first one? Instead of Albertini or Rivaldo?

Jasquelenen quickly glanced at the note, and the information on it was: Serginho, who is used to use his left foot, has no record of penalty kicks, and the possibility of hitting the right side is relatively high.

Without a record of taking a penalty, Leiden Oriental's coaching staff members were unable to provide exact information.

Yasquelenen was a little disappointed, but he was still confident in his reaction - then just jump to the right, it was a gambling anyway.

The referee's whistle rang, and Serginho began to run, run, and shoot!

Jasquelenen pounced to the right, but Serginho pushed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal in a very awkward position!

The shooting speed was not fast, but Jasqueline made a comeback, one to zero! AC Milan took the lead in the first round of the penalty shootout!

Jasclanen slapped the lawn and quietly got up and walked towards the sidelines. Serginho waved his fists into the stands while running back to his teammates.

The second appearance of Leiden Oriental is Pirlo.

"Xiao Ming chose to let the young Italian Pirlo become the second free thrower... This is a bit bad. Fanny did not score the penalty, which is bad news for Leiden Oriental. The highest-standard game that Pirlo has participated before is just the final of the European Youth Championship and the final of the FA Cup in England. Under such pressure, can he score the ball?"

Pirlo had no expression on his face. He often looked sleepy on the court, but at this time, he did not pretend to be calm, but was indeed very calm.

Dida was still moving her body on the goal line, jumping back and forth twice before standing in the center of the goal. Pirlo saw all this, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

The whistle sounded, the run-up, the shot!

Dida pounced on the right, but Pirlo shot the ball into the left!

After scoring the goal, Pirlo waved his fist hard and roared to the sky!

"Beautiful job! Andre!" Xiao Ming also waved his fists and roared loudly - Pirlo was still very powerful. If the second penalty was scored, at least it would not make the next players panic, fearing that they would not be able to score the penalty. Even top players would have this situation.

Pirlo ran to his teammates, and passed by him was Seedorf, a former teammate in Inter Milan, who was not valued under Cooper.

Yasklein looked at the note again: Seidorf is used to using his right foot, and he is used to shooting on the left side of the penalty kick. He shoots fast and has enough strength. He must make a judgment in advance.

Yasklein calmed down, and he stood in front of the goal and looked at Seedorf coldly.

He didn't do anything, he was different from Dida.

Seidorf runs up and shoots!

The Dutch midfielder's long-range shooting ability is very excellent, with excellent strength and angle. However, when he was about to shoot, Yasquelenen had already flew to his right side!

Yasquelenen, who was flying in the middle, saw the ball rushing towards him. Yasquelenen stretched out his hand in the air, stepped across the front of the ball and then pushed it hard to pull the ball out of the bottom line!

"Beautiful save, beautiful judgment! Yaskleinen also saved Seidorf's penalty, and the two sides tied again!"

Yasquelenen opened her arms and turned around and yelled at the stands. The players from Leiden East were also waving their fists near the center circle. This beautiful save was so relieved!

"It seems that the information we prepared is still useful. Seedorf's penalty kick was actually very high-quality." McDonald said proudly from the side.

The third round of penalty shootout began, and Gerald walked towards the penalty spot and looked at Dida.

Dida didn't move anymore. He stood in front of the door and stared at Gerald's feet.

Gerald ran and shot hard at the upper left corner of the goal!

However, Dida's judgment this time was extremely correct. He also rushed to his right and blocked the ball with both hands!

Gerald hugged his head, unable to believe his eyes - he shot very decisively and resolutely this time, but Dida seemed to have anticipated this in advance, moving and saving the ball while he shot!

Xiao Ming and McDonald looked at each other, and McDonald couldn't help but say, "Did they also collect information in advance?"

"No, Dida doesn't have any small moves to read the information." Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that he is gambled on this side. This bastard is lucky, he has bet right..."

AC Milan's third player also appeared, Rivaldo, who came on as a substitute at the beginning of overtime. It seems that in addition to strengthening the attack, Ancelotti was preparing for the penalty kick in advance.

Seeing Rivaldo's expression, Jasqueline suddenly decided to gamble.

"Beautiful! Yasquelenen magically saved Leiden East! He stood there without moving, while Rivaldo's shot hit the center of the goal, and the ball was easily saved by him! Three rounds passed, and it was still one to one! We cannot say that the players who took the penalty kicks on both sides did not perform well enough, but can only say that in front of Dida and Yasquelenen, the penalty kick became a scoring method that could not guarantee the goal... I think no matter how bold a person is, he did not expect that this penalty shootout would become a battle between goalkeepers and the wonderful performance of the goalkeeper!"

Only two of six penalty kicks were scored in three rounds - what is this situation? Even in the scene of the Netherlands vs Italy in the semi-finals of the 2000 European Championship, although the Netherlands scored only two penalty kicks, Italy's shooting percentage was still very high!

I have to say that in this penalty shootout, both Dida and Yasquelenen have reached a peak in their form!

However, there is only one winner in the end, and only one who can celebrate in the end!

In the fourth round! The one who appeared in Leiden East was Ronaldo.

Looking at his teammates in the World Cup, Ronaldo had no psychological burden. When he was in the national team, he practiced with Dida twice. He knew that Dida reacted very quickly, but he was even more certain that as long as he played with a clever angle, he would not be able to save his penalty even if he reacted quickly!

The whistle sounded, the run-up, the shot!

The ball flew straight to the lower right corner, and Dida jumped hard, but it was obviously a step slower!

Just as Ronaldo was about to celebrate, the ball hit the inside of the goal post and then rolled on the goal line. Dida rushed over quickly and held the ball tightly!

The ball stayed on the goal line, and most of the body had already crossed the white line, but - the overall goal line did not cross!

Leiden East missed another penalty! Although Dida was unable to save Leiden East player's penalty twice like Yasquelenin, Ronaldo still failed to score!

"Royce is too pursuing angle... Now Leiden East is on the verge of danger again. I wonder who will be the fourth AC Milan appearance, is it Maldini, Albertini, or Shepchenko?"

The commentator on the scene speculated, but a candidate he unexpectedly appeared - Nesta!

The fourth player to play in AC Milan is not the captain Maldini or Albertini, but the central defender Nesta!

This is another unexpected candidate. Nesta has never taken a penalty in his career. Ancelotti actually sent him to the field at this time - but I believe Ancelotti would not know that the fourth candidate to take the penalty is so important, right?

Leiden Oriental fans in the stands held a glimmer of hope in their hearts. They were just a central defender. No matter how outstanding he was, he might not be good at penalty kicks. In the 94 World Cup final, wasn’t Barreci, who had a greater fame and achievements than Nesta, also shot a penalty kick?

However, Nesta calmly pushed the ball into the lower right corner. Although Jasquelinen made a correct judgment, he still could not stop the penalty kick from entering the net!

Two to one, after the fourth round, AC Milan took the lead again!

"The last round... If Leiden East cannot score this penalty, they will lose the victory of this game... Only by scoring this goal and then Yasquelenine saves the opponent's last penalty can the game be dragged into a penalty shootout that determines the outcome... Gerald and Ronaldo both shot the penalty kick in the game. It really didn't expect that who would be the fifth one to play? Oh, Luis Figo! Leiden East's first penalty kick was taken by the penalty kick!"

"Save his penalty kick! That guy is just a fancy move!" The AC Milan fans in the stands shouted loudly at Dida. Originally, Dida occupied Abiatti's main goalkeeper position this season, and the AC Milan fans were still a little unhappy, but at this time, they had completely fallen in love with the tall Brazilian goalkeeper!

Xiao Ming stared at the court and bit his lips tightly.

He had already noticed that there was a possibility of failure. After all, even if Figo scored this goal, Yasquelenin would have to save the last penalty. Ancelotti actually put two defenders in five penalty kicks. Too bad, they were all defenders who had not taken the penalty kick before! And the penalty kicks of these two defenders were scored, but Saidov and Rivaldo, two outstanding penalty kickers, were saved by Yasquelenin - this shows that Leiden East's data collection is not ineffective!

However, it was not expected that Van Nie, Gerald and Ronaldo had not scored all the penalty kicks. Van Nie was the team's second penalty kicker. Gerald and Ronaldo were both the number one penalty kickers of Liverpool and Barcelona in the original time and space, but none of them scored. If Van Nie was because of mentality, then Gerald and Ronaldo's penalty mistakes were all due to luck. Dida bet right once, Ronaldo was too pursuing angles and hit the post...

"Damn, this fat man's life is really hard." Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

Ancelotti was the head coach who coached AC Milan for the longest time in Berlusconi. You should know that Saki and Capello were fired because of one or two failures. Although there was a factor in the later stage that Berlusconi was unwilling to pay for it and used Ancelotti, a fat man who was honest, without complaints and willing to take the blame, if he had not won two Champions League championships and one league championship, his position would have probably begun to be unstable.

Now it seems that this fat man's life is really hard...

Figo put the ball on the penalty spot, and he knew the value of the penalty.

Once you score, there will still be hope for Leiden East. If you don’t score, Leiden East will fall into the abyss.

After taking two steps back and taking a deep breath, Figo began to run!

"goal! The ball is in! An absolute blind spot! Figo scored this goal! Leiden East has another glimmer of hope!"

Dida slapped the lawn hard. He had just been tricked by Figo. He thought he was going to hit the left, but Figo hit the right...

Shepchenko, who was the fifth AC Milan appearance, was about to leave, but was photographed by Albertini.

"Sheva, their goalkeeper seems to be familiar with our players' habit of shooting...I think you can change the angle of the shot." The curly Italian veteran said to Shepchenko.

Shepchenko nodded, and while walking forward, he was counting on Albertini's words.

The failure of Sidov and Rivaldo in front of them does seem to be related to the opponent's knowledge of their shooting habits, especially Sidov. Yaskleinen started saving almost the moment he shot. Naturally, it was not a decision in advance, but just a gamble of luck...

Shepchenko took penalties quite a few times. He used to hit the left with his right foot, but he hit the right side very few times...

Thinking of this, Shepchenko pushed the ball to the lower corner of the right with his right foot after running up!

Yasklein was ready to pounce to the left, but saw Shepchenko push the ball to the lower right corner and turn to save the ball, the ball flew into the goal against the far post...
Chapter completed!
