Chapter 238 Penalty shootout

Overtime is something that no team is willing to face, because it is an extremely hard job for the players, and it is also a torment for the fans.

Due to serious physical decline, both teams have made personnel changes, but even so, even if all three substitutions are used, only three people can maintain strong physical strength. You must know that a team has eleven players.

People are competing. If the three of them are too strong, they will lose touch with the others, which may not be a good thing.

Therefore, the overtime process was completely less exciting than the official game time, and the further it went on, the more lackluster the performances of the two teams became, and they seemed to be out of breath while walking.

"Although both teams hope to solve the problem in overtime, their physical strength does not allow this. Both teams are obviously exhausted, and the game is not as exciting as before, but looking at their gritted teeth and persistence,

Just know that neither side has given up yet.”

"This is a classic Champions League final. Now, I can say this, no matter who is the winner in the end, both sides will be respected, as will the losers. They have won dignity with their performance."

On the sidelines, Heynckes and Klopp both looked solemn. At this point in the game, they were too embarrassed to criticize the players' performance. As long as everyone is playing football seriously, that is enough. As for whether the performance is good or not,

That's another story.

On the field, Lin Yu desperately wanted to score goals, but he had to help his teammates defend, because scoring a goal may win the championship, but conceding a goal may lose the championship.

This is not just the beginning of the game. There is still such a long time. In overtime, everyone will play cautiously. Losing a goal can cost lives.

Bayern Munich's players also have the same idea as him. Even Robben and Ribery will often return to defense, even returning to their own penalty area.

If Lin Yu wants to score again, what he has to face is not the defense, but the entire Bayern Munich.

The overtime is not long, the first and second halves combined only last for a short time, and it goes by in the blink of an eye.

In the dull and uncomfortable game, the players from both teams suddenly heard the referee's whistle. They were so focused on playing football that they had forgotten the time.

"The overtime is over! The score of the two teams has not changed, 2:2! What will follow will be a penalty shootout that tests the heart even more. Fans and friends at the scene, fans and friends in front of the TV, you are ready.

Are you prepared to bear this psychological pressure?"

When it comes to penalty kicks, many glass-hearted fans have a bitter look on their faces. They dare not watch it at all, because in addition to testing the strength of the goalkeepers of the two teams, luck is the decisive factor. Your personal ability

No matter how strong you are, you are the most valuable player in the world and the best player in the world, but when you stand on the penalty spot, those abilities may not have any effect.

Many fans couldn't stand the torture. They even changed the channel during the penalty shootout, or turned off the sound on their computers, minimized the video, and sat there counting the time uneasily.

They prefer to wait until the penalty shootout is over to see the result, which will make them feel better. If they watch it from beginning to end, they really don't know if they can bear it.

If the pressure from the fans is so great, you can imagine the pressure on the players.

This was the first time Lin Yu faced a penalty shootout. He was a little hesitant and uneasy, which was also a rare situation.

"Don't be stressed. We've come this far. Calm down!" Klopp warned the players who took the penalty kick before the penalty shootout started.

But I can’t calm down!

Humans are not machines or icebergs. Faced with such an exciting moment, when a ball may change the championship, can you calm down?

Even Lin Yu, who was always calm, couldn't care less, let alone others.

From the bottom of his heart, Lin Yu was reluctant to take penalty kicks. He had poor skills and would try to avoid them if he could.

But after looking at the players' situation, Klopp decided to put Lin Yu on the list of penalty kicks.

"Can you?" Klopp asked.

Lin Yu was silent.

"If it doesn't work, I can barely replace it with someone else. This is not a shame, I just don't want you to have any regrets," Klopp said again.

"No problem, I can do it!" Lin Yu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

If you are a man, stand up! Even if you can’t, stand up!

When the team needs you, you must not escape! Escape is surrender!

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words." Klopp has always had confidence in Lin Yu, and Lin Yu also proved his ability with his performance. There is nothing to doubt.

When the penalty shootout started, Bayern Munich took the penalty first.

The first person to stand in front of the penalty spot was not Robben or Ribery, but Lahm. The captain had to set an example at this time.

Lahm looked calm on the surface, but I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, but the quality of this penalty kick was very good. He shot it straight into the lower right corner of the goal. Weidenfeller had no time to react.

When it was Dortmund's turn, the five players who were called for penalty kicks looked at each other, and they were all reluctant to be the first test subjects. You must know that the first person to take a penalty kick is under the greatest pressure. After all, once you miss the penalty

, it is likely to affect the players behind you, and if you make a free throw, the people behind you will have a much easier time.

"I'll do it!" Lin Yu stood up. Although he thought his penalty kick skills were not very good, now his physical strength is the best. Physical strength has a great impact on the accuracy of penalty kicks. If the physical strength is good,

, the quality of penalty kicks will definitely be better.

"No problem?"

"No problem!"

Lin Yu walked to the penalty spot and took a deep breath.

"The first person in Dortmund to appear in front of the penalty spot was Lin Yu, and it was actually Lin Yu! It is said that this player is not good at penalty kicks. What gives him such confidence?"

Take a deep breath and then exhale slowly.

Lin Yu calmed himself down. At least he could not think about anything for the time being and just focused on taking the penalty kick.

Seeing Lin Yu standing in front of the penalty kick, Klopp also became nervous. The Dortmund fans in the stands were even more nervous. Lin Yu is famous for not being good at penalty kicks. Whenever the team encounters a penalty kick, it is because of

He didn't even touch someone else's penalty kick, but now he was the first to stand in front of the penalty spot. What gave him such great courage? Is he really not afraid of failing and being spurned and insulted by the fans?

?

approach!

Then kick off!

The ball flew out and hit the post directly.

"Ah——! Success! Success! Lin Yu successfully deceived Neuer and scored the ball into the goal!"

Neuer punched the post in annoyance. He originally thought that facing Lin Yu would be an opportunity. After all, it was rumored that Lin Yu's penalty kick level was not very good. In fact, Lin Yu could not take the penalty kick very well.

No matter what, it’s just that the cunning fox finally deceived Neuer and made him suffer.

"Although the ball hit the post first, it finally bounced into the goal. I have to say that even God is blessing this young man!"

After the penalty kick was kicked, Lin Yu seemed to collapse suddenly. His body swayed, but he still managed to stand firm. He walked back to his teammates, shoulder to shoulder with them, everyone's hands

They were all resting on the shoulders of their teammates, praying that Bayern Munich missed the penalty kick and that their players could score all the penalties.

Bayern Munich's second goal was scored.

Dortmund's second goal was also scored.

Bayern Munich's third goal was scored.

Dortmund's third goal was also scored.

If this continues and all five people are punished, they will have to face the sudden death law, which will be even more cruel at that time.

Fortunately, the change occurred on the fourth goal. It was Robben who took the penalty kick for Bayern Munich, and Weidenfeller hugged the ball tightly in his arms.

Dortmund fans shouted excitedly, and the players clenched their fists, waiting, expecting, watching, and hoping.

But what is frustrating is that Dortmund's fourth goal was actually saved by Neuer.

"There is no doubt that this is a competition between the two goalkeepers. Neither of them surrenders to the other. They performed very well in the official game, and they are still so good now."

The fifth goal will decide the fate. If one side misses the free throw and the other side makes the free throw, then the champion will be out.

Thomas Muller stood at the penalty spot for Bayern Munich. Although he is young, he has already been the main force of Bayern Munich and the German team. And his mature mentality is why Heynckes arranged for him to be the penalty kicker.

One of the reasons for golfers.

"The goal has been scored! Now the pressure has shifted to Dortmund's side. Should we continue the sudden death method? Or should we decide the championship at the last moment?"

Many fans in the stands closed their eyes and prayed silently.

Fans who had turned off the TV or changed the channel finally couldn't help but turn on the TV and change the channel back.

The eyes of football fans all over the world are fixed on this last person. It is understandable that he is under great pressure.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead and fell to the grass, making a splash.

He swallowed, his Adam's apple bulged, and he made a whimpering sound.

Success or failure!

In one fell swoop!

He looked back at his teammates, who were lowering their heads and praying for him. He didn't want to let them down, he had to make this free throw!

He moved.

Start running!

His eyes were aimed at the lower left corner of the goal, which was the position he had already thought about. He didn't want to use too much force, nor did he want to use too little force. He just played as he usually does.

"Bang!"

The collision between the sneakers and the ball produced a huge force and blasted the ball away.

He fixed his gaze on the direction in which the ball was flying.

Suddenly, there was deathly silence in his eyes.

"Champion! The champion is Bayern Munich! They won, and they finally got this hard-won Champions League trophy in four seasons!"

The commentator was congratulating Bayern Munich, but there was no sound in Lin Yu's ears. He could only feel his heart beating "thump, thump, thump", and it was beating faster and faster.

Not willing to give in!

I’m really unwilling to give in!

Why is it a penalty shootout? Why do you fall here? Why is this happening when you can obviously touch the championship trophy?

If it weren't for his excellent mental quality, I'm afraid he would have fainted by now.

Listening to the cheers of Bayern Munich fans, Lin Yu finally couldn't help crying.

As a young man, it was the first time that he was so close to the top of Europe, but he missed it. He tried hard, but it was not enough, not strong enough!

He thought of Baggio's sad eyes, of Cristiano Ronaldo's tears in the European Cup final, and of countless players crying and sad after the final.

At this moment, he really felt that he understood them too well. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
