Chapter 307 11 rounds of penalty kicks
After the referee blew the whistle, the too-preoccupied Dirk Dirk was shocked, took a deep breath, and then slowly ran up and took a penalty kick.
But as soon as the ball left his feet, Dirk Kuyt screamed in his heart, even if he didn't need to judge, he knew that his penalty kick had improved.
For a moment, it felt like the whole world was going wrong.
Sure enough, Howard pounced in one direction at will, but in the end, he watched the ball fly high over the crossbar.
The penalty score is still 1:1.
Couitt returned to his teammates with a sad face, not daring to raise his head to face his teammates. What a good opportunity to lead, but he wasted it so easily by himself, and he himself will not forgive himself.
But what moved him was that his teammates did not complain about him for missing a penalty kick, but extended a hand of encouragement to him. Captain Alonso put his arms around his shoulders and comforted him softly in his ear.
Fortunately, although the penalty kick was missed, the two sides just returned to the same starting line, who called Ronaldinho's penalty kick also missed!
Every player who played was under tremendous psychological pressure, and when two players missed consecutive penalty kicks, the psychological fluctuations were even greater.
However, the players who played next all withstood the pressure and scored consecutive penalty kicks.
Gary Neville, come in.
Ram, come in.
The penalty score is 2:2.
Ferdinand, come in.
Carvalho, come in.
The penalty score is 3:3.
The last round of the five regular rounds of penalty kicks, if the winner is decided in this round, then the penalty shootout will also end.
United played veteran Ryan Giggs, who withstood the pressure, tricked Diego Lopez and scored a penalty, and the pressure suddenly shifted to Alonso, who played last for Notts County.
David's heartbeat was abnormally fast, and Lahm had already scored the penalty, and the two of them didn't play consecutively, and there was Carvalho in between, so Alonso wouldn't have kicked it, right?
In David's impression, Alonso had the experience of slipping penalty kicks several times in his previous life. I don't know if it should be said that the quality of the turf is not good, or Alonso is habitually struggling with penalty kicks.
Alonso stood out from the crowd, and his opponents shouted cheers to him, but his heart was unusually calm. This was a penalty that was related to the ending. He had to score the penalty. Ci County will miss the championship trophy.
With a run-up, a pause, and a clever shot, Alonso tricked Howard, scored the penalty, and successfully dragged the penalty into an unconventional period.
David was really relieved. It is better to experience less penalty shootouts in the future, as he is about to have a heart attack.
In the next penalty shootout, the winner will be determined every round, and the pressure on the players will be even greater.
Sylvester, come in.
Lescott, come in.
The penalty score is 5:5.
O'Shea, come in.
Leighton Bynes, enter.
The penalty score is 6:6.
The two sides seem to have entered the fast lane all of a sudden. The players quickly scored the penalty kick and then transferred the pressure to each other. They were holding their last breath and waiting for the other party to make a mistake first.
Phil Neville, come in.
Ribery, come in.
The penalty score is 7:7.
This is already the eighth round of penalty kicks, and the two sides still haven't been able to decide the winner. Is this the rhythm of creating history and breaking records?
In fact, the two sides have already broken the historical record of a penalty shootout in the history of the Community Shield, because no two teams have yet to decide the winner in the regular five rounds of the penalty shootout and need to continue to kick penalties.
In England's domestic arena, although most people can't remember how many rounds the penalty kick record is for a while, it definitely does not exceed 13 rounds. They think that in the FIFA record, this data does not belong to the English team.
Javier Mascherano and Scholes, who played next, also scored the ball one after another, and the exciting penalty shootout was still on.
The fans are no longer able to vent their excitement by shouting and enjoying themselves. They want to know who will miss the penalty kick first, and who will win this soul-stirring penalty shootout.
Ruud van Nistelrooy and Klose played in the 10th round, but both players still scored penalties, as if they were competing with each other.
This is interesting. After 10 rounds of penalty kicks, the two sides are still tied. The next two teams that did not play are the starting goalkeepers of both sides, Howard and Diego Lopez.
Who would have thought that such a situation would arise in a penalty shootout? Perhaps in the regular five rounds, there were examples of goalkeepers taking penalty kicks, but in the end of the 11th round, it was unheard of for the goalkeepers of the two teams to directly confront each other.
There is no doubt that at this time, everyone is overwhelmingly optimistic about Manchester United, because although Howard is in an unstable state, he is still young and experienced, especially at this critical moment, it is still a direct confrontation with the goalkeeper. Experience will undoubtedly give him an absolute advantage.
At Diego Lopez's age, there are very few goalkeepers who can play as the main force, let alone rich experience. Haven't you heard that Notts County has only played a penalty kick in the past two years!
Howard calmly put the ball on the penalty spot and stepped back slowly, but kept his eyes on Diego Lopez, as if he was using this method to put pressure on the Notts County goalkeeper.
In terms of penalty kicks, Diego Lopez is indeed not as good as Ben Foster, who has been loaned out, but at least he is stable, so no matter what moves the opposite Howard makes, he is still as stable as Mount Tai.
In fact, for goalkeepers, penalty kicks are the most difficult to save. There is no way, the goal is so big and the distance is so close, as long as the quality of the opponent's penalty is not high, it is usually difficult for the goalkeeper to save.
Howard, the old American goalkeeper, took a very tricky penalty kick. Although Diego Lopez judged the right direction, he still missed the ball.
After the two exchanged positions, it was Lopez's turn to take a penalty kick. Although he hadn't experienced this in his career, the Spanish goalkeeper didn't feel so nervous standing in this position.
Yes, I have stood on the opposite side ten times, even if I feel nervous, I have already digested it.
go in!
Diego Lopez shouted in his heart, start, approach, kick.
Then the Notts County keeper slipped on.
The ball flew high and fluttered gently into Howard's arms.
The penalty shootout is over!
Diego Lopez fell to the ground and his mind was blank. He thought about countless outcomes, maybe he would score a penalty kick for the team, maybe, maybe he would be saved by Howard, and the team would lose the game, but he never thought of it. I will miss the penalty in this way.
Before he knew it, Diego Lopez's eyes were already wet, and tears gushed out uncontrollably.
