Chapter 782: Brutal penalty shootout

Generally speaking, in the penalty shootout, the first and fifth players are very important.
The first player should start a good start for the teammates who will take the next penalty. If he can kick the football in, he can also release the psychological pressure of everyone behind. If the first person does not shoot the ball, then the back His teammates will naturally get nervous in an instant, carrying heavy thought burdens on their backs.
And the fifth person who takes the penalty kick is also important, because he is likely to decide the life and death of himself and his opponent.
As is the case now, the opponent's fifth person has already scored. If the fifth person of the opponent cannot score, the game will end. But if he can score, he can continue the penalty shootout and enter the single-round elimination system.
Therefore, the head coach usually arranges the psychological quality to be excellent. The players with outstanding penalty technology will be the fifth finale, which is also a kind of "final".
Those who can take on this role are not ordinary people.
So when he saw Gao Zheng taking the penalty spot, many people were a little surprised-rarely saw Gao Zheng taking the penalty...
Many people are even thinking, has Gao Zheng ever played a penalty, or has he ever scored a penalty?
They couldn't remember it at all.
Arrange for the fifth key penalty for such a person with few or no kicks?
Has Simone's spoiling of Gao Zheng reached this point?
Although Gao Zheng scored many goals, it does not mean that he can take such a critical penalty in the game.
Many strikers who have scored numb goals have a very high chance of penalty penalty.
At least Manuel Blanco twisted his brows into a mess when he saw this scene.
He didn't understand the reasons for Simone's arrangement.
However, at this time, he had no choice but to continue to support Atletico Madrid.
So at this moment he turned into a fan of Gao Zheng, and wanted to pray to God for Gao Zheng as a conditioned reflex.
But he suddenly remembered that Gao Zheng was a Chinese, and the Chinese are notoriously not believers in God. Not only do they not believe in God, they may even blaspheme. He was worried that praying to God for a Chinese would cause God to lower his anger, but would make Atlético Madrid eliminated and affect his plan.
He couldn't pray to his Lord, but at the same time he didn't know what to do, so he had to helplessly look at the TV screen.
Eyes staring at Gao Zheng.
You kid... don't let me down! For my great plan, you have to kick this ball too!
※※※
Under the watchfulness of countless people, Gao Zheng walked to the penalty spot. He reached the football directly with his feet and stepped on the penalty spot.
Unlike his previous teammates and opponents, he placed football very solemnly, some people must also align the valve core of the football with themselves, so as to ensure the hardest part of the football body and increase the speed of football .
Gao Zheng didn't do it.
He is very casual, just like doing penalty training in training.
Then he backed away and turned to look at the head referee.
This surprised the head referee-he thought that Gao Zheng would play tricks on football, and when he thought that it took only two seconds, he finished the preparations.
At the same time, Eindhoven goalkeeper Zuote, who was on the goal line, was also surprised. He performed well in both rounds and was elected the best player in the last round.
But in the four previous penalty kicks of Atletico Madrid, he never saved.
He wanted to save Gao Zheng's ball on the fifth penalty and kill the game directly.
The thought of Gao Zheng's casual behavior after he came up made him hesitate.
Is this a psychological war?
Is Gao Zheng fearless, or because he has no experience in taking penalty kicks?
Prior to this game, Eindhoven's head coach Koko specifically gave the team a penalty kick and made very good preparations. As a goalkeeper, he naturally also studied all the main penalty players on Atletico Madrid, knowing their direction and habits of playing.
So don't look at him without a penalty, but the direction is all right, just a little bit worse.
But when facing Gao Zheng, his mind was blank. Because there was no information about Gao Zheng's penalty, he was good at kicking the penalty to the left or right? Is it above or below? Is he good at kicking with his right foot or left foot? Does he vigorously volley or does he like to shoot with a spoon? Does he like to pursue angles or is he safe?
None of these Zotes know...
This caused him to rely on guessing when he threw a penalty.
He was a bit puzzled.
There was no time for him to think again. The referee had already blew his whistle.
The audience suddenly calmed down.
Gao Zheng started running... No, or rather "walking" is more accurate, because Gao Zheng didn't run at all, stepped forward, took another step, a total of two steps, more like a big step.
Then his right foot pulled towards the football.
Everything happened suddenly and quickly.
Zuote threw himself before Gao Zheng's foot hit the football. He guessed a direction on the left side of his body, and guessed that Gao Zheng would hit the foot, so he decisively rushed over.
But Gao Zheng kicked the ball to the right of his body, and it was the top corner!
The football flew into the goal from the angle between the goal post and the beam!
"Gao Zheng!!! Beautiful! Dead end!!!" He Ping, who was so nervous that he was speechless before, could finally scream.
He also worried that Gao Zheng, who had never played a penalty kick, would kick the ball away...Now, the worst result is nothing more than the elimination of Atletico Madrid, but at least it will not be Gao Zheng's responsibility.
"Few of the penalty kicks are very easy on this ball, just like training, no pressure!" Jose Maria also highly praised Gao Zheng. "It seems that Simone was right to let him take the last penalty. Although we outsiders do not know how high the penalty is, the head coach who gets along with him day and night is obviously very clear and confident in him. The facts also prove That’s it. In an atmosphere of tension, Gao walked out and made a penalty kick, which seemed to be different from this tension..."
※※※
Manuel Blanco saw Gao Zheng's careless display of football, and continued to curse Gao Zheng and scold him as if he was a servant—the curse in his heart was because if the curse came out, he was afraid Being driven out of the house by his wife...
But after seeing Gao Zheng scoring a goal, he couldn't help jumping and cheering.
This made his wife look out curiously: "Aren't you a Barcelona fan? What cheer for Atletico Madrid?"
Blanco was too lazy to explain his plan with his wife and could only wave his hands impatiently: "What do you know?"
"What are you talking about!" The wife's voice was an octave higher.
Blanco quickly laughed with him: "I hope they can advance to the quarter-finals, and then get deeper and deeper in the double-line battle, and in the end, both the league and the Champions League are empty-handed..."
He quickly explained his thoughts to his wife.
Then turned around to watch TV, Eindhoven had finished the sixth round of penalty kicks, and scored again.
Cocu said before the game that they had prepared a penalty kick. It didn't seem like nonsense, it was really prepared, and it was quite accurate...
Blanco was worried.
Cocu has also played in Barcelona before... he wouldn't be in revenge for Barcelona, ​​so he insists on eliminating Atletico Madrid from the Champions League?
But what's the use of defeating them in the Champions League, you have the ability to stop them in La Liga!
Here is bad for me!
Fortunately, Atletico Madrid's sixth player Jimenez also kicked the penalty kick into the goal, which made Blanco relieved.

"I can't think of it. The penalty shootout went to the eighth round..." Jose Maria said with emotion.
There were fewer and fewer shouts at the scene. Most fans were so nervous that they could not make any sound. Some people even dared not even watch. They turned their backs to the court and judged only from the reactions of those around them. The goal was not scored.
After the results of the 16th draw, Atletico Madrid fans also felt that Eindhoven's draw was a sign.
Whenever Eindhoven was so tenacious, they drew Atletico Madrid in two rounds and dragged the penalty shootout to the eighth round...
The eighth player representing Eindhoven was Luciano Narsing, who was replaced in the 118th minute of the game. After just two minutes of play, the game was over and entered Penalty shootout.
This is of course not Koko's replacement of him for a penalty shootout, otherwise he will not be ranked eighth. This order means that anyone can play, because there is no reason to consider here...
The head coach arranged the penalty list with the focus on the top five, the latter is basically looking at the row, the further the penalty ability is worse.
The eighth-ranked Nalzinger's penalty level is similar to Gao Zheng's, and he hasn't played much.
Sure enough, after he went up, he kicked the ball out of the baseline!
"Nalsinger--!!! He missed the shot!!!" He Ping shouted like he was cheering for victory.
The stone pressed against everyone's heart was loose.
The eighth appearance of Atletico Madrid is Juan Fran.
Like his previous seven teammates, he steadily kicked the football into the goal!
Even if Zott judged the direction again, he still couldn't meet it!
"The game is over!!! Atletico Madrid eliminated PSV 8:7 in the brutal penalty shootout and advanced to the quarterfinals!!!"
On the TV screen, all Atletico Madrid players flocked to Juan Fran to celebrate this hard-won promotion.
In front of the TV, Blanco also raised his arms and celebrated silently.
His plan can go on smoothly!
