Chapter 112 Penalty Shootout!
At Arsenal's coaching bench, 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 on the final penalty list after observing everyone's state.
"The order of the five free throwers is Arteta, Koscielny, Ramsey, Suarez, Cazorla!"
After a pause, Wenger continued; "The sixth round starts with Kay and Arshavin."
In addition to the regular five, Wenger released the penalty order of the rest of the people.
Lucky was unexpectedly placed in the sixth round.
You know, the pressure on the free throw personnel in the sixth round is not less than that in the first or fifth round.
In penalty kick rules.
Penalty kicks are taken in five regular rounds, and the side with the most goals wins.
After five rounds, the winner has not yet been decided.
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 scored the goal will win.
It can be said that Lucky's position is extremely important.
Played a connecting role.
Goalkeeper coach Gerry Payton was also helping Szczesny with saving advice while Wenger was arranging the penalty staff.
"listen!"
Gerry Payton said seriously; "In a penalty shootout, the most important thing is the psychological factor. You must be yourself. When you save a penalty, they will definitely shoot the other side you want to attack!"
Szczesny nodded solemnly and continued to listen.
Gerry Payton patted Szczesny and said, "So, you have to believe in yourself and jump on 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 announced that Aegis also showed a wry smile.
Before, when Gerry Payton was teaching Fabianguis, he had said similar nonsense.
On the contrary, Lehman, the goalkeeper coach on the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He walked to Szczesny and helped him analyze with a notebook in his hand;
"First of all, you have to pay attention to these people, Aguero, Silva, Dzeko."
"Dzeko likes to kick to the right. If you really can't see which side he wants to punish, then go to the right."
"Aguero and Silva's penalties are also very good, but you must be careful with their spoons."
Lehman'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 area.
In the end, the referee walked over holding the penalty ball.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire Wembley Stadium became dignified and extremely depressing.
There were more than 6 fans in the audience, and they all shut their mouths, without the slightest movement.
Someone covered his mouth and kept soothing his beating heart.
Some people just close their eyes, they can't bear the result of the team conceding the ball.
Penalty win, no follow-up shots.
One person takes one round until the winner is determined.
This is a brutal penalty shootout!
Le Kai stood with his teammates on the midfield line on the right side of the center circle.
His heart was also extremely tense.
The referee flips a coin to decide who will serve first.
The final result was that Manchester City took the lead in free throws.
Five rounds of free throws from both sides:
Arsenal: Artete, Koscielny, Ramsey, Suarez, Cazorla.
Manchester City: Aguero, Dzeko, David Silva, Nasri, Yaya Toure.
The arena was silent.
Aguero walked towards the penalty area, took the ball from the referee, put it on 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 shooter, 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 successfully scoring goals from penalty kicks is not high."
In the midst of all the attention, Aguero retreated!
Szczesny was also moving left and right frequently and began to feint.
All of a sudden, Aguero started and kicked suddenly.
It's a low, flat ball aimed at the bottom left corner.
Szczesny successfully judged the direction, but his start was a step late, and the ball scraped the goal post and entered the net.
"FxxK!"
Szczesny lay on the ground and slapped the ground angrily.
Arsenal failed to save the first penalty, and the pressure came to Arsenal.
The Manchester City fans at the scene were cheering wildly.
In contrast, the Arsenal fans pursed their lips tightly one by one.
Arteta came to the penalty spot.
It was the turn of Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart to make a save.
Arteta was not inked, and after the whistle sounded, he started directly and scored a penalty kick with a scoop.
Joe Hart dived to the left and missed the ball.
"Beautiful spoon! Arteta successfully tricked Joe Hart!"
Zhan Jun said loudly.
Soon it was Dzeko's and Koscielny's turn.
Both of them chose to volley vigorously.
Joe Hart made a desperate save and made it out.
Although Szczesny judged the wrong direction, Dzeko's penalty kick flew out against 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.
The Arsenal players put their arms around each other.
Beside Lucky is Arshavin.
Arshavin suddenly turned his head and said, "Why do I feel like I'm about to enter the stage of sudden death?"
"shut your mouth!"
Le Kai turned his head and scolded.
'Sudden death stage', this special test is him.
In the case that the free throw player was unable to repeat the free throw, Le Kai became the first free throw player in the sudden death stage.
Once the penalty is missed, there will be a big fuss!
But Arshavin's mouth seemed to have been opened.
The free throws for both teams are almost identical.
[Third round of free throws]
Both Ramsey and David Silva missed 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.
Tension 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!
As the penalty shootout progressed, the atmosphere at the scene became more dignified.
[Fourth round of free throws]
Suarez hits a free throw, but Nasri misses.
At this moment, the Arsenal fans suddenly cheered.
They couldn't be more excited.
Hope is at hand!
After Szczesny saved Nasri's penalty, he began to taunt wildly.
This further increased the pressure on the hearts of 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.
Man City penalty taker Yaya Toure.
The pressure came to Yaya Toure.
If Yaya Toure misses a penalty, Arsenal will lift the trophy in accordance with the rule that the team with the most goals in five rounds wins.
But Yaya Toure was extremely calm, he pushed through Szczesny's ten fingers with a sharp arch!
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 chasing angle.
The ball flew out against the goal post.
At this moment, the Arsenal fans in the audience wailed.
They are only a little away from the championship!
Szczesny was also extremely annoyed.
This is the winning situation he managed to create.
This conceded goal made him unacceptable.
But he couldn't say anything at this time.
Because, the sixth round is about to begin.
After entering the sixth round, it has entered the stage of sudden death.
Manchester City's midfielder Barry came out.
At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the audience trembled.
Every kick that follows could make or break a game.
The key free throw that can win/destroy the championship with one kick!
This kind of pressure is not insignificant!
[Sixth round of free throws]
Barry started running.
Szczesny started to make fake moves, and then suddenly rushed to the right.
His instincts told him to pounce to 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 verge 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 the penalty shooters appear on the big screen.
A young Asian face.
Seeing this, everyone froze for a moment,
"Kay?! This." Andy Gray shook his head and said: "Well, there is no surprise! Kai pierced through the goal guarded by Neuer in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Bayern Munich."
Sina Sports Live.
"Lucky! The key free throw player in the sixth round is Lucy!! Wenger gave this key task to Lucy!!"
Zhan Jun was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time full of apprehension.
"It must be scored! This may be Lucky's first championship at Arsenal!"
Zhang Lu: "This may be the best choice. In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Lucky has proved that he has a solid penalty kick. What he lacks is some experience!"
"And in this situation, Lucky's blank penalty data panel will cause the goalkeeper a headache!"
At Wembley Stadium, all the audience's attention was on Lucky.
Le Kai walked out of the center line and walked towards the penalty spot alone.
The scene was so quiet that it made people feel a little flustered.
But Le Kai understands that he must bear this pressure.
The champion is right around the corner!
Just score this goal!
Arsenal will be able to win the FA Cup and at the same time break the nightmare of seven years without a title.
"Listen to my whistle for a free throw later, OK?"
The referee kindly reminded Le Kai.
Lucy 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 could see that the Arsenal players were already on their knees and they were expecting a goal."
"Wenger was also nervously biting his fingers."
"It was very quiet."
"The current Arsenal fans are extremely nervous, because all their dreams are pinned on this 19-year-old young man standing at the penalty spot!"
"They have waited for the championship for 7 years. Whether Arsenal can win the FA Cup in the 2012/2013 season! Whether Kay can turn the tide again, everything depends on this crucial kick!"
Le Kai took a deep breath, and looked firmly at the opponent's goal.
Joe Hart is doing verbal harassment.
"Hey! I have already guessed which side you are going to play. Don't think I will be like Neuer. I know you better than him. I have already seen through you!"
"Think about it, miss a penalty, you will be a sinner for Arsenal!"
"Hey! Are you going to kick the right side? Hahaha, is it the left side?"
Joe Hart was rambling non-stop, but Lucky shut him up with one word.
"I can kick a spoon!"
Joe Hart paused for words, and opened and closed his mouth up and down.
Is this guy a liar?
Kicking the spoon in such a crucial game?
But... this guy is only 19 years old!
Anything is possible!
shit!
Joe Hart suddenly became a little messy.
Lucky had already started to retreat at this time, and the panicked Joe Hart began to move left and right and 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 run-up speed changed from slow to fast, but every foot seemed to step on the heartbeat of the Arsenal fans at the scene.
At this moment, the gun fans were almost suffocating with tension.
Le Kai quickly rushed to the ball and suddenly stopped.
This pause made the hearts of the Arsenal fans at the scene seem to stop suddenly.
And Joe Hart's body, which was about to pounce on the right side, was also subconsciously straightened, and his knees were slightly straightened.
At this time, Le Kai supported with his left foot and decisively swept the ball with his right foot.
The ball flew towards the goalpost on the right, hit the goalpost with a ding, and immediately bounced into the net!
