Chapter 317 Penalty Shootout 2

"Schweinsteiger can definitely score the ball. Among the five Germans who took the penalty kick, Schweinsteiger and Ozil are the most stable. If there is a problem, it will be the teenager Muller. Or Gomez, they are strikers. Normally, strikers have better footwork, but the penalty kicks are different, just like the England team. Among the two starting players, Gerrard is the midfielder, Ashley - Cole is the full-back..."

The German narrator analyzed and said.

Most people think there is nothing wrong with Schweinsteiger, and Schweinsteiger himself thinks so.

When standing in front of the door, he had already figured out how to kick.

He wanted to make an angle.

He is not good at shooting vigorously. It is his habit to pursue the angle. After the referee signaled that he could make a free throw, he did not even make an assist, so he shot directly on the spot and used the inner instep to create a small arc.

"Look at this ball!"

The German commentators all saw the brilliance, and the fans often liked technical arc shots, but the next moment, all the Germans were dumbfounded.

Joe Hart made an accurate prediction and threw the ball out!

"Hula..."

This time it turned into a carnival for England fans, who excitedly shouted Joe Hart's name to celebrate Joe Hart's penalty save.

"2-1, after two rounds, England are ahead..."

"Schweinsteiger played a good ball, but England goalkeeper Joe Hart judged better..."

"Only one goal behind, there are still plenty of chances for Germany."

The meaning expressed by the German commentator is that 'missing' a goal is no big deal, but this does not reassure the German fans. There are 5 rounds of penalty kicks in total. England scored two goals in a row, Germany scored one, and they already at a disadvantage.

Schweinsteiger was also quite annoyed. He felt good just now, but he did not expect the opponent's goalkeeper to judge so accurately.

It was a dead-end shot and it was saved.

When Schweinsteiger returned to the German formation, his expression was still very low, and his teammates persuaded, "It doesn't matter, there are us."

This gave him some comfort.

It was Rooney who made a penalty for England in the third round. Rooney has a huge popularity among England fans. He just walked out and caused a burst of cheers from the stands, but Rooney was still very pressured. If he didn't, it would be embarrassing and even directly affect the penalty kick.

Rooney kept thinking about Wan Sheng's advice, "Pay attention to your strengths!"

What is your specialty!

Definitely not technology, but power!

Rooney made a decision. He straightened the ball. When the referee signaled that he could make a free throw, he glanced at the door, and then directly hit the goal with his foot.

"The ball is in!"

"3 to 1!"

In the excited shouts of the commentator and the fans in the audience, Rooney didn't have much excitement, just a long breath, just a shot, but a moment was enough to decide a lot of things, luckily, he scored the ball.

In the third round, it was Gomez who made free throws on behalf of the German team.

In the past two years, the rivalry between Gomez and Muller is everywhere. Both play for Bayern Munich. At the club, with Muller's outstanding performance, Gomez has been pushed to the bench. For the team, Gomez is still the main striker, and Loew trusts more experienced players.

This kick is not only related to the victory or defeat of the German team, but also related to Gomez's own performance.

If he misses a penalty, it may be difficult for him to continue to hold the main striker position in the German national team.

Gomez came out with that pressure.

This time Gomez withstood the pressure. When facing Joe Hart, he calmly kicked a powerful shot. Joe Hart once again judged the right direction, but the speed of the ball was too fast. .

"3 to 2!"

"Gomez's free throw was accurate!"

The next player to play is Ashley Young. Ashley Young's foot skills are very good, and he also has a place in the penalty kick. In front of Neuer, Ashley Young chose to show his feet. The arc of the foot hangs straight on the left foot.

This time, Neuer responded quickly. He jumped to the left for the first time and threw the ball straight out.

"It's still 3-2! Germany is about to tie!"

Seeing Neuer save the ball, the German commentator shouted excitedly, and the German fans were also refreshed, and they saw the hope of tying the ball.

The fourth round on behalf of the German team is Thomas - Muller.

Muller is a representative of German football genius. He has already taken a position in Bayern Munich and the German national team at a young age. Perhaps Gomez cares about the competition between the two, but Muller has always believed in his own strength.

In the face of Joe Hart, who made a very accurate judgment in the first few rounds, he made a shake of his ankle, trying to deceive Joe Hart with this action.

What Mueller didn't know was that Joe Hart was judging the path of the ball, not the free-throw shooter's movements, and it didn't matter what fake he did.

Muller's kick was in the center of the goal.

As long as Joe Hart makes a save to the side, the ball will definitely be scored, but when the football flies out, he sees the opponent standing in front of the goal and not moving, just raising his hands, as if to welcome the football.

"It's over!"

Muller sighed, and the cheers of England fans suddenly came from his ears!

The whole stadium was filled with cheers!

The score of the penalty kicks between the two teams is still 3 to 2, but the penalty shootout has already gone on for 4 rounds. In other words, as long as Morris, who is next to play, scores the ball, England will be able to beat Germany to enter the final. !

The England squad also cheered!

Ashley Young, who was just saved from the penalty kick, has been annoyed all the time. His teammates scored all the balls, and only his ball was saved. If England lost, he would definitely become a sinner.

Now he is not worried.

The last round is Morris, that guy can definitely score the ball!

So he happily shouted with his teammates!

"Wait, wait, stop shouting, look at Li's this time! Hold it! When he enters, we will celebrate the victory directly!" Gerrard greeted his teammates and told them not to affect Morris.

At the same time, in front of the England coach, Wan Sheng raised his fist.

That's a victory celebration!

"Look at Wansheng! His moves! He's celebrating early! Obviously, he has a lot of confidence in Morris."

"Maybe fans can celebrate in advance!"

Although the commentator said so, many fans still held their breath and watched the last ball. Morris came to the position, he straightened the football and glanced at Neuer.

Neuer was clearly very cautious.

This ball will decide the victory, if they can save the ball, there is still hope for the German team, if they can't save they will be eliminated.

All the pressure is on Neuer.

Maurice's expression was very indifferent, as if he was doing a very ordinary thing, and there was no trace of nervousness at all, but in fact, at this time, a penalty kick can determine the victory, and anyone will be very Nervous, Morris is no exception. Compared with many other players, he just acts more calmly and tries not to let his emotions affect his performance.

Everyone was looking at Morris and the football at his feet.

At this moment, he is the focus of the world!

At the moment when the referee signaled that he could make a free throw, many thoughts lingered in Morris' mind--

"What if I don't get in?"

"If you don't score, how many rounds will the game continue?"

"Enter, the team will enter the final!"

"The final against Spain, they can win the championship with one more win!"

"How many people are looking at me?"

"All England fans want me to score, everyone is watching this goal, I am the center of the world!"

"..."

All kinds of thoughts disappeared in a flash, Maurice took a long breath, and took two steps back with stability.

Then he looked up at Neuer again.

jogging!

Swing!

Shoot!

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the football rushed towards the goal.

Neuer made a save to the right for the first time. In everyone's eyes, he was in the right position at that moment. Many German fans had hope, but the next moment, they saw the football flying from Neuer's finger. Pass.

in!

in!

it is true! The ball is in!

"call----"

The stadium broke out with the sound of a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis. All England fans screamed with all their might. They cheered for England's victory and went crazy for England's entry into the final.

"Goal scored! 4-2, plus the previous 2-2, England beat Germany 6-4! The last penalty is meaningless, the Germans have no chance!"

"The game is over! Congrats to England, they beat Germany on penalties!"

"England has entered the European Cup final! They will play against Spain to compete for the European Cup championship!"

"It was a fantastic game. From the course of the game, England deserved to win. Most of the time they were in the lead. In the 90 minutes of the regular game and the 30 minutes of extra time, the England team performed very well, and in the The best performance in the penalty shootout was undoubtedly England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who saved two penalty kicks and won the victory for England!"

"A penalty shootout with Germany would be tricky for any team, but the English got the last laugh, they broke the bad luck of ten years without a penalty!"

"This victory means a lot to England, the last time they reached the final of an international competition, it was back in 1966, when they won the World Cup in England!"

"And in the European Cup, they have not yet reached the final. This is also a revenge for the German team. In 1996, in the European Cup held in England, England lost to Germany in the semi-final on penalties and lost the qualification to the final! Now! They beat Germany on penalties to reach the final, and I have to say, it's like a reincarnation of history..."

"The game is over, congratulations to England, they changed their lives and made history!"

"This is a great victory!"

"...even greater than winning a championship!"
