Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

Chapter 676 Penalty Shootout

The commentators on the commentary booth had a collective climax, except of course the Madrid commentator.

The compliments fell on Wishing as if he didn't want money. Poet He jumped up and almost knocked down the microphone, "Wishing! Hat-trick! He once again performed a hat-trick in the Champions League final!"

"The difference is that last time his hat-trick crushed Barcelona, ​​this time his hat-trick pulled Chelsea back from the brink!"

"1, 10 minutes and 58 seconds, Wishing scored the goal of Real Madrid in the last moment of the game, he is the hero of Chelsea!"

"Of course this goal is also half of the credit for Courtois. I don't know if this cooperation was arranged by Mourinho, or it was a temporary decision between Wish and Courtois. Anyway, Chelsea won a chance for themselves! Rizzo Leigh has already put the whistle in his mouth, it seems that he will not give Real Madrid another chance to attack, and the next step should be the most exciting penalty shootout!"

The commentator in Madrid also recovered, "It's such a pity that we still couldn't hold the game until the last minute."

"In this corner kick, we made a huge mistake. It is unforgivable that Ramos, Ronaldo and Pepe were not with Xu all the time. Everyone knows that Xu is the most dangerous team in Chelsea. players, how could they leave Xu Fang empty?"

"And Mourinho, he is really a tricky manager. We all saw Xu made a gesture to Willian, and no one thought that Mourinho would arrange an exclusive corner kick for Courtois... ...I have long said that letting Mourinho go is one of the most stupid decisions Florentino has ever made, no less than Zidane + Pavon..."

"Of course, I'm not saying that Ancelotti and Zidane are not good, they are also very good..."

The commentator in Madrid also thinks too highly of Mourinho. This corner kick coordination is really not specially arranged by Mourinho.After all, no one will arrange a corner kick tactic for the goalkeeper in advance, that is too weird, it is better to practice penalty kicks in advance.

But Mourinho arranged for a central defender to ferry to the front point and make a wish to cooperate with nodding the ball in the back.

No way, Wishing's header ability is unique in the world. Any fool knows to defend Wishing in a corner kick. Without some cooperation and tactics, Wishing can only rely on personal ability to fight hand-to-hand in the penalty area. The efficiency is too high Low.

It's just that it was Van Dijk who ran to the front point to ferry, but this time it was replaced by Courtois.

There are also two variants of this tactic. Van Dijk at the front point can head the goal by himself, or he can feint a shot and leave it to other teammates who follow up in the middle to rush to the top.

As a goalkeeper, Courtois is no stranger to this cooperation, so when making a wish and gesturing with William, he immediately reacted.

Courtois chose the safest way of heading back. After he jumped up, he knew that his header was not realistic, and he was not good at it. Feinting a shot is not safe, so it is better to make a wish.

Of course, this is also Courtois' trust in making a wish. If it were someone else, he might not necessarily choose this way.

Wishing and Courtois hugged each other tightly, and other Chelsea players gathered around, celebrating crazily, even happier than winning the Champions League!

A second ago, they were all ready to be out and go home. Who knew that a second later, there would be a turnaround. The ups and downs of life are so exciting!

Rizzoli didn't give Real Madrid the opportunity to attack at all. He blew the whistle for the end of the game, and then there was a penalty shootout.

The commentators are also in good spirits, especially the neutral commentators. The penalty shootout is so exciting!

Like Russian roulette, no one knows which shot will have a bullet or who will miss the penalty.

There are countless tragic heroes who lost the game because of penalty shootouts in history, Robert Baggio, Terry, Ronaldo, Kaka...

They all have the experience of missing the penalty shootout and giving up the championship or promotion places.

The winning side is certainly gratifying, but the losing side is also destined to become a footnote of tragedy.

……

Players from both sides sat on the grass, receiving massages from the team doctors while listening to the head coach arrange the order of penalty kicks.

Both sides practiced penalty kicks before the game. This is a must practice subject before each final, but it is of little use. At this time, it is more about testing the psychological quality and will quality of the players on both sides.

Whoever can grit his teeth and persevere will be able to see the smile of the goddess of victory.

Fans from both sides stood up. At this time, no one could sit still, and the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but straighten their backs to appreciate this exciting and cruel scene.

The TV station and the sponsors were about to smile crookedly. During this period of time, the ratings were soaring. Many people were calling their friends and telling them to hurry up and watch the penalty shootout...

In this atmosphere, the list of penalty kicks for both sides has finally been released.

Wishing and Ramos once again stood in front of the referee Rizzoli, and they had to guess who would kick first and choose sides by guessing coins.

Ramos won the right to pick a side. He decisively chose Real Madrid's goal in the second half of overtime. He thought that Navas had just defended the goal here, so he should be more familiar with it. ...

Penalty kicks are more of a test of the goalkeeper's reaction and prediction. At this point, Navas should be said to have completely blown Courtois.

Navas has encountered a total of five penalties this season, and he has saved four of them, with a success rate of 80%.In his 11-year career, he has been hit with 89 penalties, of which he has saved 24, a success rate of 27%.

Although not as good as goalkeepers such as Neuer, Buffon, Martinez, Krul, and Toldo who are good at penalty kicks, they are not bad.

And what about Courtois?

Courtois has only saved one of the eight penalties awarded to Chelsea in all competitions this season...

In his eight-year career, Courtois has experienced 45 penalty kicks and only saved seven of them, with a success rate of 15.5%.

The data doesn't tell much. A penalty kick in regular time is not the same thing as a penalty kick when the players on both sides are exhausted after overtime.

Again, every game is an independent event, and it is the job of an actuary to study the data.

But these statistics can at least reassure Real Madrid fans.

Of course, Chelsea fans are even more worried...

Because Real Madrid won the right to pick a side, the power of the first penalty kick naturally fell into the hands of Chelsea.

Navas stood on the goal line and Courtois stood outside the penalty area.

Players from both sides stood near the middle circle, lined up spontaneously, and stood shoulder to shoulder. This was to give their teammates confidence and encourage them.

After high-fiving Willian and the Chelsea players, they walked out of the crowd...
