Chapter 302 Penalty Kick Situation

On the England team's training ground, all the players gathered around to watch the penalty shootout between Wansheng and Rooney.

Wansheng scored the second penalty kick again. Rooney was a little surprised. The penalty kick is relatively simple, but under the guard of a professional goalkeeper, it is not easy for a person without professional experience to score two consecutively. Especially Wan Sheng's two-footed shot just now was scored without any suspense, and goalkeeper Green didn't react at all.

Rooney even wondered, "Is Green being waterproof!"

He said it, but after he said it, he felt that it was wrong, because the two-footed shot just now was really beautiful, and the speed was also very fast, not worse than his shot at all.

Green can't really react!

Green was also a little annoyed when he heard Rooney's shouting.

In the face of Wansheng's penalty kick, he didn't let it go. He still wanted to perform well to prove himself. First of all, he wanted to save Wansheng's shot, but he didn't expect Wansheng's two goals to be hit with great strength, and The angle is very tricky, he doesn't even have time to react, the football has already flew into the goal.

He felt that he was a little careless, and always wanted to make a judgment before making a save, but the speed of the ball was very fast, and it was too late after his judgment.

After listening to Rooney's words, Green didn't respond, but he was much more cautious.

Next came Rooney's turn.

Green has no intention of giving Rooney a way, especially Rooney's words made him a little annoyed. He has to guard the goal very seriously.

Rooney went to the penalty spot and he felt a little bit of pressure.

Rooney is not worried about the outcome. A penalty kick is likely to have an element of luck, but the luck element of 10 goals is much smaller.

He did not believe that Wansheng could overcome himself.

But if he fails to score the second goal, he will fall behind. As a top striker in the world, compared with a coach who has no professional player experience, even if he falls behind in the middle of the score... it's really a shame!

Rooney looked at the goal very seriously.

After taking a long breath, he took two steps back, stepped forward and suffocated behind the ball.

Another powerful shot!

Green made a save for the first time, but his judgment was wrong. Rooney shot from the left side of the defense line, and he pounced on the right side.

2 to 2!

Gary Neville signaled that the goal was valid.

Rooney took a long breath again, "Fortunately...in!" Now the pressure should be on the Chinese.

It was Wansheng's turn again.

Wan Sheng had a smile on his face, his face was full of relief, and he didn't seem to care at all. He also gave Rooney a thumbs up and praised the shot just now. After that, he walked to the penalty spot, facing the cautious Green, and swung it directly. right foot.

"Boom..."

Still the same big shot!

Green made a save and judged the right direction, but by the time he rushed over, the football had already flown into the goal.

"The goal is valid, 3 to 2!"

"hiss……"

There was a burst of surprised inhalation around, and many players did not expect that their head coach Wan Sheng had such a good footwork that he could kick three consecutive volleys in the same direction, and score the ball without any suspense.

Many people looked at Rooney with sympathy.

"Wayne must have lost." Morris was standing with Gerrard, the two were discussing in a low voice, he said with certainty, "Don't say it's a penalty, even if it's a set-piece across the barrier, boss. They can all play very accurately. I have played against him before...there is absolutely no hope..."

"What's hopeless?" Gerald was a little puzzled.

"I mean, there is absolutely no hope of winning. My set-piece skills are all handed over by the boss."

Gerald couldn't believe it.

In the England team, Morris's set-piece skills are undoubtedly the best. Even he does not admit it. In terms of set-pieces, he and Morris have a certain technical gap, especially the kind of close range. A ball that requires great skill, Morris can play very well, with a high rate of direct free kicks, and he may only rely on the cooperation of his teammates, and he also has the opportunity to score the ball in the game.

Morris' set-piece was handed over by Wansheng?

Why does this young Chinese have such good football skills? But he's not a professional player!

Lescott leaned over, followed Morris's words, and said, "Steven, you have to make sure of one thing, the boss is amazing, he is very good in many ways. Don't look at him having never played a professional game, But the skills are no worse than anyone, including Li, me, of course, including you, I didn't mean to raise the boss, but it's the truth, sometimes I think, if the boss plays professional games, he will definitely become the best in the world. Great football player!"

"It's hard to imagine..."

Gerrard sighed, still a little disbelieving in his heart, he still wanted to continue to watch the match between Rooney and Wansheng.

It's Rooney's turn again!

Rooney felt more and more pressure. Just now, the second goal was under pressure, but the Chinese scored the third. Even if he could score, he wouldn't be able to win, because the opponent didn't make mistakes at all.

Rooney shook his head and gritted his teeth.

He needs to know what to do.

Rooney became very serious. He admitted that he was a little careless. Before, he always thought that the Chinese was not an opponent, but now he found that the opponent's penalty kick was not low.

He has to be serious!

Rooney stood in position, squatted down to straighten the football, and glanced at the door.

Green's expression is very serious. It is a completely new state of investment. Perhaps as a goalkeeper, Green also hopes to perform well in order to look forward to the opportunity to play in the European Cup?

Now is Green's chance to perform.

But relative to myself, I hope Green's performance is a little worse...

If the ball doesn't go in, what will your teammates think?

Even if the goal is scored, if the Chinese still keeps scoring goals, he has no hope of winning?

Rooney wanted to calm down, but all kinds of thoughts kept flashing in his mind. After Gary Neville signaled for a free throw, he stood there for a few seconds, then took two steps back, took a deep breath, and took another kick. Big shot!

Bang!

After a muffled sound, the football flew towards the goal.

This time Green judged the right direction and made a save in advance. After the football flew over the goal line, he successfully took off the ball with both hands.

Football out of the bottom line!

Did not enter!

Rooney covered his cheeks. He felt even more sad than kicking a penalty kick in a regular game. It would be fine if he tried the ball with other teammates, but the opponent was the Chinese who had no professional player experience and was already 34 years old. , and he is the number one striker of Manchester United and the England team. The other side and his football skills are not in the same dimension at all.

how could be?

Rooney didn't feel anything about his own performance. It was normal for a penalty kick to fly, but how could the opponent, that young Chinese play so well?

Rooney looked at Wansheng.

Wan Sheng also looked back at Rooney, the expression on his face still did not change, but Rooney turned his eyes away unconsciously, he was a little afraid to look at Wan Sheng.

Then it was Wansheng's turn to take a penalty kick.

Wan Sheng stood in front of the ball and glanced at the door. This time he did not choose to volley vigorously, but kicked a very technical curve ball.

The football flies into the bottom corner in a small arc!

This shot fully shows the effort of the feet. As long as you look at this ball, you must know that Wansheng did not rely on luck, or completely rely on strength to score the ball.

This kind of ball is not something that ordinary people can play, and neither can most professional players. Many people can't help but think of Beckham. Beckham used to take a penalty kick in a similar way, scoring the ball in a small arc, and it was a direct At the bottom corner, the goalkeeper is not only difficult to react, but even if he does, it is difficult to accurately judge the position.

Many players applauded.

The same is true for Gary Neville as the referee. He did not continue the referee's "neutral" angle, but gave Wan Sheng a thumbs up, "What a good shot!"

Wan Sheng smiled and said nothing.

It was Rooney's turn again.

Rooney's heart pressure is not normal, he even felt a little humiliated standing here, but he still completed the shot and kicked the ball accurately into the penalty area.

Next is Wansheng.

Wan Sheng shot from the left corner this time. Goalkeeper Green simply pounced in the wrong direction. He gave up a little in his heart. He scored four consecutive goals easily, and there was no accident in this goal.

Through a few goals, Green can judge that Wansheng's penalty kick is much better than Rooney's. He still has hope of saving many of Rooney's shots, but he can't save Wansheng's penalty at all. .

For Rooney, Green has a lot of spirit.

Rooney was under too much pressure, not only behind the score, he felt that he had no hope of winning at all, and he also felt humiliated in front of so many teammates.

Rooney stood on the spot and simply shot.

The football flew off the post!

Rooney walked back with his head lowered. After reaching his teammates, Gerrard immediately advised, "Don't worry about it, Wayne, Wansheng has a history of playing this kind of ball. It's better than Li, and it's normal for you to lose."

Rooney snorted angrily.

He has a little temper.

But until the end, Rooney still didn't break out. He had no reason to do that. As a professional player, if he lost a regular penalty shootout, he had to bear it himself, otherwise no one would sympathize with him, even if he had a good relationship with him. So do teammates.

Rooney came out. He walked up to Wan Sheng and said, "You won! I admit defeat!"

He waited for the sarcastic voice.

The young Chinese in front of him is a man who will report flaws, and he is ruthless when it comes to trivial matters. He is ready to bear it.

But after waiting for a long time, Rooney didn't hear the sarcasm, and he raised his head.

Wan Sheng still had the same expression.

Some are peaceful, some smile, but definitely not sarcastic, "You don't need to be sad, if I don't have a certain degree of certainty, I will not compete with you, I am not a fool. I know your skills, but you don't understand me, lose It's normal." Then Wan Sheng glanced at everyone around him and said, "I just want to pass the test with Wayne and tell you all, you must be serious in training, and the training plan I made does not allow any degree of discount! This is the England national team, not a leisure center, not a wet market, no bargaining, nothing else, we have to fight for the championship together, each of you is very important, and you must complete your training tasks seriously!"

"We are about to play Italy. I believe you know better than me what kind of opponent Italy is. For us, Italy is a tougher opponent than Spain and Germany because their defense is better. Not sure we can win the game in 90 minutes, we have to be ready for a penalty shootout!"

"The penalty shootout is cruel, I believe many of you have a deep understanding of it, England, that is, us, the last time we won a penalty shootout in an international competition was in 1996, and in the past 16 years, we have lost five times. Ball, the competition is held every two years, and the group is eliminated. How many times in total? You have never been to college, but this simple math can calculate it? Only 8 times... 8 times, 5 times were eliminated by penalty kicks , think about this probability! That's not history, just recently, many of you have been involved!"

"Training is not a game!"

"If you continue to train with this attitude, in a few years, all of you, maybe one year, two years, five years, ten years, there will always be a day when you will retire, it won't be too long, in short, you will bring With regrets for the failure of a lifetime..."

————

Wansheng is very serious about penalty kick training.

In Wansheng coaching the England team, the player attribute bonus and direct game skills of the football training master system can greatly improve the player's penalty kick efficiency, but it is not guaranteed to win, even if there are many coaching skill bonuses.

England's penalty history and current situation are too 'brutal'.

In the past two days, the media in Italy and England have also been analyzing the games between the two teams. The media in both countries agree that the two teams will eventually decide the winner by a penalty shootout. Their views are the same as many fans, and the outside world can analyze it. Come out, you can see how tense the situation is.

The Italian "Gazzetta dello Sport" analyzed the penalty kicks of the players of the two teams and finally concluded, "If the penalty kick decides the winner, Italy will definitely win."

"Wansheng is likely to send Morris, Gerrard, Rooney, Ashley Cole and Ashley Young to take penalties, among which Gerrard, Rooney and Ashley Young have the most career points. They're just barely over 60 percent from the field."

Gerrard had a penalty kick experience in the national team, but he missed a penalty in the 2006 World Cup and Portugal penalty shootout and became England's "sinner". In the Premier League, Gerrard's penalty rate is not very high, scoring 14 times from 20 free throws, the scoring rate is only 70%.

Rooney is now Manchester United's first penalty taker.

Rooney took 6 penalties in the Premier League last season. Against Chelsea and Bolton, his penalties were saved by Cech and Bogdan respectively. In the Premier League over the past years, Rooney's overall performance on penalty kicks is not very good. He only scored 13 times from 19 free throws. It is worth mentioning that Rooney has not yet scored a penalty kick in the national team.

Before Ashley Young moved to Manchester United, he was Aston Villa's first penalty taker, making eight free throws and hitting five goals. Ashley Young's penalty rate was barely passable.

In comparison, Morris and Ashley Cole are better.

Ashley Cole is a key man in England's back line, and he calmly scored a penalty in last season's Champions League final. In the national team, Ashley Cole also had the experience of scoring a penalty kick.

Morris didn't need to say more, even the comments of the Italian media were, "No surprise, Morris will definitely score a penalty."

Morris is the only person in the England team who can be sure of scoring a goal.

In the penalty shootout between England and Italy, Wansheng is not absolutely certain, and the probability of victory in his mind is only about '70%'.

This also includes the play of goalkeeper Joe Hart.

It can be seen how worried Wansheng is about England's penalty shootout, but some situations must be faced. If possible, Wansheng still hopes that the two sides will decide the outcome within 90 minutes.

Of course, the winner is England!
