Chapter 69 Penalty shootout!

At Arsenal's coaching stand, everyone sat in a circle.

A clear look of exhaustion can be seen on everyone's face.

They looked up at Wenger.

Wenger also decided the final free throw list after observing everyone's state.

"The order of the five penalty shooters is Arteta, Koscielny, Ramsey, Suarez, Cazorla!"

After a pause, Wenger continued; "The sixth round starts with Kai, Arshavin..."

In addition to the regular five, Wenger released the penalty order for the rest of the crowd.

Lucky was unexpectedly placed in the sixth round.

You know, the pressure on the sixth-round penalty shooters is no less than that in the first or fifth rounds.

in the penalty kick rule.

Penalty kicks in the regular five rounds, and the team with the most goals wins.

And after five rounds, there is no winner yet.

Then it will enter the 'sudden death law'.

That is, as long as one side loses a point and the other side scores a goal, the team that scores the goal wins.

It can be said that the position of Lucky is extremely important.

Played a linking role.

Goalkeeper coach Gerry Payton was also helping Szczesny with making save recommendations as Wenger arranged for the penalty officers.

"listen!"

Gerry Payton said solemnly; "In a penalty shootout, the most important factor is the psychological factor. You must be yourself. When you save a penalty, they will definitely shoot to the other side that you want to save!"

Szczesny nodded solemnly and continued to listen.

I saw Gerry Payton patted Szczesny and said, "So, you have to believe in yourself and rush to the side where they want to make free throws."

Szczesny was stunned.

What kind of bullshit advice is this?

The substitute goalkeeper on the other side released Aegis also showed such a wry smile.

Gerry Payton had said similar nonsense before when he was teaching Fabiengis.

On the contrary, the assisting goalkeeper coach Lehmann couldn't stand it any longer. He walked to Szczesny and helped analyze with a notebook in his hand;

"First of all, you have to pay attention to these people, Aguero, Silva, Dzeko..."

"Dzeko likes to play on the right side, if you really can't see which side he's going to take, then go right."

"Aguero and Silva's penalties are also very good, but be careful with their spoons..."

Lyman's suggestion was obviously more practical, and Szczesny listened very seriously.

Soon, the two sides completed the arrangements before the penalty shootout.

Eleven players from both sides came to stand on both sides of the center circle, and the goalkeepers on both sides walked towards the corner kick area.

Finally, the referee came over with the ball in his hand.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire Wembley Stadium became solemn and extremely depressing.

The more than 60,000 fans in the audience kept their mouths shut, and there was no movement at all.

Some people covered their mouths, constantly soothing their beating hearts.

Some people just close their eyes, they can't bear the result of the team conceding the ball.

Penalty kick to win, no make-up shots.

One round, until the winner is determined.

This is a brutal penalty shootout!

Le Kai and his teammates stood on the midfield line on the right side of the center circle.

His heart was also extremely nervous.

The referee flips a coin to decide who will serve first.

The final result was Manchester City taking the lead.

Five-round penalty shooters for both sides:

Arsenal: Artet, Koscielny, Ramsey, Suarez, Cazorla.

Manchester City: Aguero, Dzeko, David Silva, Nasri, Yaya Toure.

The arena was silent.

Aguero walked to the penalty area, took the ball from the referee, placed it at the penalty spot, and then slowly backed away.

Throughout the whole process, Aguero kept his head down and did not communicate with Szczesny.

Although Szczesny is constantly provoking each other.

"Manchester City's first penalty taker, Aguero!"

Zhan Jun pursed his lips and forced himself to calm down, and said, "Aguero's penalty kick statistics in his career are not outstanding. Although the recent statistics are good, the probability of him scoring a goal successfully on the penalty end is not high."

Amid all the attention, Aguero withdraws!

Szczesny also moved frequently from side to side and began to make fake moves.

Suddenly, Aguero started and kicked up suddenly.

This is a low flat ball aimed at the bottom left corner.

Szczesny succeeded in judging the direction, but his start was a step slower, and the ball rubbed the goal post into the net.

"FxxK!"

Szczesny fell on the ground and slapped the ground angrily.

Arsenal's first penalty was not saved, and the pressure came to Arsenal.

The Manchester City fans at the scene cheered wildly.

On the other hand, Arsenal fans pursed their lips one by one.

Arteta came to the penalty spot.

It was the turn of Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart to make a save.

Arteta, without ink, started straight after the whistle, a spoon penalty.

Joe Hart jumped to the left and missed the ball.

"Beautiful spoon! Arteta managed to deceive Joe Hart!"

Zhan Jun said loudly.

Soon it was Dzeko and Koscielny's turn.

Both chose to volley vigorously.

Joe Hart struggled to save.

Although Szczesny judged the wrong direction, Dzeko's penalty kick flew out of the goal post.

In the second round, neither side scored a goal.

The two sides are still on par.

Le Kai stood in the middle circle, feeling extremely tormented inside.

Arsenal players put their arms around their shoulders.

Next to Lucky is Arshavin.

Arshavin suddenly turned his head and said, "Why do I feel like I'm entering the stage of sudden death."

"shut your mouth!"

Lucky turned his head and cursed.

"Sudden death stage", this is the test of him.

Luckey became the first free throw player in the sudden death phase when the free throw shooter could not repeat the free throw.

Once the penalty is lost, it will be a big mess!

But Arshavin's mouth seemed to have opened.

The two teams' free throws were almost identical.

[Third round free throws]

Ramsey and David Silva all lost points.

Ramsey aimed at the right calf to push the ball, but the ball was not fast enough and was thrown by the opponent's goalkeeper.

And David Silva chose the spoon to be held in his arms by Szczesny.

The tense atmosphere spread throughout the arena.

Arsenal fans are already praying.

This is the closest they have come to a championship after a seven-year absence.

Can't screw it up!

With the penalty shootout going on, the atmosphere at the scene also became more solemn.

[Fourth round free throws]

Suarez hit a free throw, but Nasri missed.

At this moment, Arsenal fans suddenly cheered.

They couldn't be more excited.

Hope is at hand!

After Szczesny saved Nasri's penalty kick, he even started to mock wildly.

This further increased the pressure on the Manchester City players.

But at this time, both Manchester City players and Arsenal players are extremely nervous.

When entering the fifth round.

Arsenal penalty shooter Cazorla.

Manchester City penalty taker Yaya Toure.

The pressure came to Yaya Toure.

If Yaya Toure misses a penalty, Arsenal will lift the trophy according to the five-round scoring rule.

But Yaya Toure was extremely calm. He pushed through Szczesny's fingers with a sharp bow!

But the pressure hasn't gone away.

As long as Cazorla scores, Arsenal can also win!

But Cazorla couldn't bear the pressure.

He missed the penalty kick too much from the angle.

The ball hit the post and flew out.

At this moment, the Arsenal fans in the audience wailed.

They're just a smidge away from the championship!

Szczesny was also extremely annoyed.

This is a winning situation he finally created.

This loss made him unacceptable.

But he couldn't say anything at this time.

Because, the sixth round is about to start.

After entering the sixth round, it has entered the stage of sudden death.

Man City's midfielder, Barry, came out.

At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the audience were trembling.

Every kick that follows could make or break the match.

The key free throw that can win / kill the championship with one kick!

This pressure is not too big!

[Sixth round free throws]

Barry starts to run.

Szczesny started to make fake moves, and then suddenly rushed to the right.

His feeling told to pounce on the left, but he chose the right.

Come back!

But Szczesny was pleasantly surprised to find that the ball just hit the glove and flew out.

Roar! ! ! ! ! ! !

Szczesny knelt on the ground, roared, and patted his chest to vent.

Once again he put Arsenal on the cusp of victory.

"Barry missed the penalty!! This is a fatal penalty!" Andy Gray rubbed his hands nervously, looking at the big screen and said; "So, who is Arsenal next?"

Photos of free-throwers appear on the big screen.

A young Asian face.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment,

"Kay?! This..." Andy Gray shook his head and said, "Okay, no surprises! Kai pierced the goal guarded by Neuer in the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich. "

Sina Sports Live Room.

"Lucky! The key free throw player in the sixth round is Lucky!! Wenger handed over this crucial task to Lucky!!"

Zhan Jun felt a surprise in his heart, but at the same time he was full of apprehension.

"Must score! This may be Lucky's first championship in Arsenal!"

Zhang Lu: "This may be the best choice. In the Champions League quarter-finals, Le Kai has proved that he has a solid foundation in penalty kicks. What he lacks is some experience!"

"And in this situation, Lekai's blank penalty kick data panel will give the goalkeeper a headache!"

At Wembley Stadium, the focus of the audience was on Lucky.

Le Kai walked out of the center line and walked towards the penalty spot alone.

The place was quiet, and the silence was a little flustered.

But Lucky knew that he had to withstand this pressure.

The champion is in sight!

Just score this goal!

Arsenal can win the FA Cup and break the nightmare of seven years without a title.

"Listen to my whistle for a free throw later, OK?"

The referee reminded Le Kai thoughtfully.

Lucky nodded solemnly.

Andy Gray said solemnly; "Arsenal's fate has been entrusted to Kai's hands at this time. To win the championship, everything depends on this free throw!"

"We can see that the Arsenal players are on their knees and they are looking forward to scoring goals."

"Wenger is also nibbling his fingers nervously."

"The place is quiet."

"Arsenal fans are so nervous right now because all their dreams depend on this 19-year-old from the penalty spot!"

"They have been waiting for the championship for 7 years. Whether Arsenal can win the FA Cup in the 2012/2013 season! Whether Kai can turn the tide again depends on this crucial kick!"

Le Kai took a deep breath and looked firmly at the opponent's goal.

Joe Hart is verbally harassing.

"Hey! I've already guessed which side you're going to play. Don't think I'll be like Neuer. I know you better than him, and I've seen through you!"

"Think about it, miss the penalty and you'll be Arsenal's sinner!"

"Hey! Are you going to kick the right? Hahaha, is it the left."

Joe Hart kept babbling in his mouth, but Lucky shut him up with a single word.

"I'll kick the spoon!"

The words in Joe Hart's mouth stopped, and his mouth opened and closed.

Is this guy a liar?

Such a crucial game kicking the spoon?

But... this guy is only 19 years old!

Anything is possible!

shit!

Joe Hart was suddenly a little messy.

At this time, Lucky had already started to retreat, and the panicked Joe Hart began to move left and right to make various fake moves.

But Le Kai lowered his head and didn't look at him at all.

beep! ! !

The whistle sounded, and Lucky started to run.

Lucky's approach speed went from slow to fast, but every foot seemed to be stepping on the heartbeat of the Arsenal fans on the scene.

At this moment, the gun fans are almost suffocating with nervousness.

Lucky quickly rushed to the ball and suddenly stopped.

The pause made the hearts of the Arsenal fans at the scene seem to stop suddenly.

And Joe Hart's body that wanted to pounce on the right was also subconsciously straightened, his knees slightly straightened.

At this time, Le Kai supported with his left foot and swept the ball decisively with his right foot.

The ball flew quickly towards the goal post on the right, hit the goal post with a ding sound, and immediately bounced into the net!
