There is a dream called football

Chapter 237 Penalty Shootout

End of 120 minutes.

Neither side expected that this would end up being a penalty shootout game. Because of the two-round home and away goal scoring system, it is actually not very common for knockout matches to enter a penalty shootout.

Under normal circumstances, the battle can still be resolved within 90 minutes, but obviously not this time.

The game entered a brutal penalty shootout.

Although Mourinho was expelled from the game, he still used tactical notes to communicate with the field again.

Chelsea’s penalty kick candidates are:

Lampard.

Robben.

Drogba.

Tiago.

Terry.

In Mourinho's heart, Terry is still the most stable one, so he arranged for him to be the last one.

Benitez’s side is:

Alonso.

Li Qiao.

Baros.

Garcia.

Gerald.

Both sides stood in the center circle, and the most brutal penalty shootout was about to begin.

After a coin toss, Chelsea kicked first and Liverpool kicked second.

Lampard came out, and he was quite reliable in taking penalty kicks. Facing Dudek's noodle dance on the goal line, Lampard made a small run-up and pushed the ball, and a ground ball passed Dudek.

There is nothing he can do.

Chelsea lead 1-0.

Mourinho also looked nervous in the stands. He also lost his former arrogance and became very focused on watching the game. This is very related to him and how his first season at Chelsea will end.

Mourinho is an arrogant person, and arrogance needs to be supported by results. Without good results, it is not called arrogant, but stupid.

Alonso, Liverpool's first penalty kicker, came out and looked at Cech in front of the goal. Cech was not as versatile as Dudek, but he reacted very quickly and was good at making moves at the last minute.

Alonso paused after his run-up, and then pushed the upper corner of the goal with the arch of his foot. The goalkeeper was helpless when it came to kicking the ball into the upper corner, no matter how tricky the angle was, unless the player kicked it himself.

Flying.

1 to 1.

The string in the hearts of Benitez and Mourinho is still tight.

Robben came out.

The way the Dutch take the penalty is not to look at the goalkeeper and to play the ball at their own pace, which is also better. In other words, Dudek's noodle dance has no way of affecting Robben.

Robben kicked the ball towards the center, Dudek completely missed it and the ball went in.

Then there is Li Qiao.

Everyone knows how powerful Cech is. He is very tall and has very good control of the goal. Unless he is deceived by a fake move or kicked into a blind corner, it will be difficult to score a goal.

Li Qiao paused slightly after his approach, then suddenly changed his ankle and kicked the ball towards the lower corner of the goal.

The ball goes in.

2 to 2.

Drogba has stepped out. This is a person Chelsea fans are more worried about, because to put it simply, Drogba can score very beautiful goals, but he also wastes a lot of opportunities, especially the simpler the ball, the more difficult he is.

will be wasted.

Therefore, fans are worried that he will not be able to withstand the challenge and fall at the 12-yard point.

Dudek guessed that Drogba must have chosen to shoot from the center, so he boldly chose not to move this time and stood waiting for the ball to come to the goal.

Drogba started to run up, and it looked like he was going to hit a powerful volley. The fans were sweating, and it looked like he was likely to miss.

But what I didn't expect was that Drogba chose to make a move at the last moment, which was a clever shot.

Hahaha.

Mourinho smiled. The Ivorian realized that he was not just using his own strength to solve problems.

This was so clever that Dudek was stunned.

Then Liverpool's third player Baros also scored the ball.

Sticky.

This is the biggest feeling of fans from both sides.

It may be impossible to solve the problem in the first five rounds, and the problem will continue to be delayed.

In the fifth round, Chelsea's John Terry stood up and the captain came out to take the penalty. This was the pinnacle showdown between the two teams.

If the problem cannot be solved anymore, the sudden death method will begin from the next round.

The pressure on Terry is very high. Both the fifth penalty and the first one are very stressful, but in comparison, the fifth one will be a little greater. The reason is very simple. If the first one misses,

Then you can still make up for it later, but if you miss the fifth one, it will be impossible to make up for it later.

Terry paused many times during his approach.

He hoped to see Dudek move first, but Dudek never moved. This made Terry a little panicked. Because the goalkeeper didn't move, it would be difficult for the free throw shooter. In the end, Terry chose to push the shot and miss it.

A little, a bigger angle.

But then tragedy struck, his ball hit the goal post.

The loud bang was as painful as a punch to Mourinho's heart, and the crowd began to cheer.

Liverpool fans have finally seen the light, and it may be the light that can end the battle.

As Gerrard walked towards the penalty spot, the audience started cheering.

As long as he scores the ball, then Liverpool will advance. Benitez turned around, not daring to continue watching, and all his teammates in the center circle stood still, feeling uneasy and expecting something.

.

Li Qiao just looked in the direction of the goal. Anyone who could look directly at the goal at this time was a warrior.

Was Mourinho also watching Gerrard take the penalty? He wanted to know the final result, no matter what the result was, he wanted to know.

The commentary is already sensational.

"Are there any miracles?"

This may also be the question in the hearts of Chelsea fans, that is, is there any miracle left and is the game really over?

Gerrard glanced at Cech and took a decisive step. There was no miracle in the game. The ball went in. The Chelsea players fell to the ground, but all the Liverpool players rushed over. They hugged Gerrard and Dudek. We won.

When the camera turned back, Mourinho had disappeared. He quickly left the field. He was not used to being a loser. This is Mourinho, a person who is always competitive. This time he was out.

"Congratulations to Liverpool, they have entered the Champions League final this season, we congratulate them."

Benitez also rushed into the stadium, and the Liverpool people had the last laugh.

"Come on, let's throw our heads up."

"OK."

The guy threw Benitez up, lifted him up high, and then threw him away.

"Hahaha."

Benitez is worried that he will fall apart.

"Never, never let go."

"Hahaha, then we can't guarantee it."

Li Qiao walked over to comfort Carvalho, his teammate last year, and by this time Carvalho was already crying.

But in the end, his old teammates still congratulated Li Qiao.

"Congratulations, go and fight in Istanbul, on my behalf, remember that we are all former fighters of Porto."

Li Qiao nodded.
