Chapter 69 Penalty Shootout!

In the Arsenal coaching booth, everyone sat in a circle.

Everyone's face showed a clear look of fatigue.

They looked up at Wenger.

Wenger also decided the final penalty list after observing everyone's status.

"The order of the five penalty takers is Arteta, Koscielny, Ramsey, Suarez, and Cazorla!"

After a pause, Wenger continued; "The sixth round starts with Kai and Arshavin"

In addition to the regular five, Wenger announced the penalty order of the rest of the people.

Lekai was unexpectedly placed in the sixth round.

You know, the pressure on the penalty takers in the sixth round is no less than the first or fifth round.

In the penalty rules.

The regular five rounds of penalty kicks are taken in turn, and the side with more goals wins.

And after five rounds, the winner has not yet been decided.

Then it will enter the 'sudden death method'.

That is, as long as one side misses a penalty and the other side successfully scores, the team that scores the goal will win.

It can be said that Lekai's position is extremely important.

It plays a connecting role.

When Wenger arranged the penalty shooters, goalkeeper coach Grie Petton was also helping Szczesny with save suggestions.

"Listen!"

Grie Petton said seriously; "In a penalty shootout, the most important thing is the psychological factor. You must do your best. When you save the penalty, they will definitely shoot on the other side you want to save!"

Szczesny nodded seriously and continued to listen.

Grie Petton patted Szczesny and said; "So, you have to believe in yourself and save the side they want to save."

Szczesny was stunned.

What kind of bullshit advice is this?

The substitute goalkeeper Fabiangis on the other side also showed a bitter smile.

In the past, Grie Petton had said similar nonsense when he was teaching Fabiangis.

On the contrary, Lehmann, the assistant goalkeeper coach, couldn't stand it anymore. He walked to Szczesny and helped analyze with a notebook in his hand;

"First, you have to pay attention to these people, Aguero, Silva, Dzeko"

"Dzeko likes to kick on the right side. If you really can't tell which side he is going to kick, then jump on the right side."

"Aguero and Silva's penalty kicks are also very good, but you must be careful of their spoons"

Lehmann's suggestions are obviously more practical, and Szczesny also listened very seriously.

Soon, the two sides completed the arrangements before the penalty shootout.

Eleven players from both sides came to the two sides of the center circle and stood still, and the goalkeepers on both sides walked towards the corner area.

Finally, the referee came over with the penalty ball.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire Wembley Stadium became solemn and extremely depressing.

More than 60,000 fans in the stadium, they all closed their mouths, without a single movement.

Some people covered their mouths and kept soothing their pounding hearts.

Some people closed their eyes directly, they couldn't bear the result of the team losing the ball.

The penalty shootout was the winner, and there was no follow-up shot.

One person, one round, until the winner was decided.

This is the cruel penalty shootout!

Lekai stood on the midfield line on the right side of the center circle with his teammates.

He was also extremely nervous.

The referee tossed a coin to decide who would serve first.

In the end, Manchester City took the first penalty kick.

The five penalty kicks from both sides:

Arsenal: Artet, Koscielny, Ramsey, Suarez, Cazorla.

Manchester City: Aguero, Dzeko, David Silva, Nasri, Yaya Toure.

The stadium was silent.

Aguero walked to the penalty area, took the ball from the referee, put it on the penalty spot, and then slowly retreated.

Throughout the whole process, Aguero kept his head down and did not communicate with Szczesny.

Although Szczesny was constantly provoking the other party.

"Manchester City's first penalty kicker is Aguero!"

Zhan Jun pursed his lips and forced himself to calm down, saying; "Aguero's penalty data in his career is not outstanding. Although his recent data is good, his probability of successfully scoring a goal on the penalty kick is not high."

Aguero retreated under the attention of the crowd!

Szczesny also moved frequently left and right and began to make fake moves.

Suddenly, Aguero started and kicked hard.

This was a low ball aimed at the lower left corner.

Szczesny successfully judged the direction, but he started a step slower, and the ball rubbed the goal post and entered the net.

"Fxxk!"

Szczesny lay on the ground and slapped the ground angrily.

Arsenal's first penalty kick was not saved, and the pressure came to Arsenal.

The Manchester City fans at the scene cheered wildly.

On the other hand, the Arsenal fans pursed their lips tightly.

Arteta came to the penalty spot.

It was Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart's turn to save.

Arteta didn't hesitate. After the whistle sounded, he started directly with a scoop penalty.

Joe Hart jumped to the left and failed to catch the ball.

"Beautiful scoop! Arteta successfully deceived Joe Hart!"

Zhan Jun shouted.

Soon it was Dzeko and Koscielny's turn.

Both chose to volley hard.

Joe Hart made a desperate save.

Although Szczesny misjudged the direction, Dzeko's penalty flew past the goal post.

In the second round, neither side scored a goal.

The two sides were still evenly matched.

Lekai stood in the center circle, feeling extremely tormented.

The Arsenal players hugged each other's shoulders.

Next to Lekai was 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!"

Lucky turned around and cursed.

The 'sudden death stage' was the ultimate test for him.

When the free throw player was unable to repeat the free throw, Lucai became the first free throw player in the sudden death stage.

Once the penalty is missed, it will cause a big fuss!

But Arshavin's mouth seemed to have been opened.

The two teams' free throws were almost identical.

[Third round free throws]

Ramsey and David Silva both missed points.

Ramsey aimed to push the ball towards his right calf, but the ball was not fast enough and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

David Silva, on the other hand, chose to be held in his arms by Szczesny.

The tense atmosphere spread throughout the arena.

Arsenal fans are already praying.

This is the closest they have come to a championship after seven years.

Don't mess it up!

As the penalty shootout progressed, the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn.

[Fourth round free throws]

Suarez made a free throw, but Nasri missed it.

At this moment, Arsenal fans cheered suddenly.

They couldn't be more excited.

Hope is just around the corner!

After Szczesny saved Nasri's penalty kick, he started to mock wildly.

This further increases the pressure on Manchester City players.

But at this time, both Manchester City players and Arsenal players were extremely nervous.

When entering the fifth round.

Arsenal penalty taker Cazorla.

Manchester City penalty kicker Yaya Toure.

The pressure is on Yaya Toure's side.

If Yaya Toure misses the penalty, Arsenal will lift the trophy according to the rule of the team that scores more goals in five rounds.

But Yaya Toure was extremely calm, and he used his sharp arch to push through Szczesny's fingers!

But the pressure hasn't gone away yet.

As long as Cazorla scores, Arsenal can also win!

But Cazorla couldn't bear the pressure.

He missed the penalty kick as he pursued the angle too much.

The ball flew out against the goal post.

At this moment, the Arsenal fans in the audience howled.

They are just a little bit away from the championship!

Szczesny was also extremely angry.

This is a victory situation that he finally created.

This goal was unacceptable to him.

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 sudden death stage.

Manchester City's midfielder Barry came out.

At this moment, everyone in the audience was trembling in their hearts.

Every next kick could determine the outcome of the game.

A key free throw that can win/ruin the championship with just one kick!

This kind of pressure is not small!

[Sixth round free throws]

Barry started running.

Szczesny started to make a fake move, and then suddenly rushed to the right.

His senses told him to dive to the left, but he chose the right.

Do it the other way around!

But Szczesny was surprised to find that the ball just hit his glove and flew out.

Roar! ! ! ! ! ! !

Szczesny knelt on the ground, roared angrily, 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 and looked at the big screen and said, "So, who is Arsenal next?"

A picture of the free throw shooter appears on the big screen.

A young Asian face.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment,

"Kay?! This" Andy Gray shook his head and said: "Well, there is no surprise! Kai penetrated the goal guarded by Neuer in the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich."

Sina Sports Live Room.

"Lucky! The key free throw shooter in the sixth round is Lucky!! Wenger handed over this key task to Lucky!!"

Zhan Jun was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time he was full of anxiety.

"You must score! This may be Lucky's first championship at Arsenal!"

Zhang Lu: "This may be the best choice. In the Champions League quarter-finals, Lucai has proven that he has a solid penalty kick skills. What he lacks is some experience!"

"And in this situation, Lucky's blank penalty data panel will give the goalkeeper a huge headache!"

At Wembley Stadium, all the attention was on Lucky.

Lucky walked out of the center line and walked toward the penalty spot alone.

The scene was quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little nervous.

But Lucky knew that he must withstand this pressure.

The championship is right in front of you!

Just score this goal!

Arsenal can win the FA Cup and break their seven-year drought.

"Listen to my whistle for a while and shoot free throws, okay?"

The referee reminded Lucai thoughtfully.

Lucky nodded solemnly.

Andy Gray said solemnly; "Arsenal's fate has been entrusted to Kay's hands at this time. To win the championship, everything depends on this penalty kick!"

"We can see that the Arsenal players are on their knees, waiting for the goal."

"Wenger was also chewing his fingers nervously."

"It was very quiet."

"Arsenal fans are extremely nervous now, because all their dreams are pinned on this 19-year-old young man standing at the penalty spot!"

"They have been waiting for the championship for 7 years. Whether Arsenal can win the FA Cup in the 2012/2013 season! Whether Kai can turn the tide again, everything depends on this crucial kick!"

Lucai took a deep breath and looked firmly at the opponent's goal.

Joe Hart is engaging in verbal harassment.

"Hey! I have already guessed which side you want to play. Don't think that I will be like Neuer. I know you better than he does. I have already seen through you!"

"Think about it, if you miss a penalty kick, you will become Arsenal's sinner!"

"Hey! You want to play on the right side, right? Hahaha, is it the left side?"

Joe Hart kept talking, but Lucky shut him up with just one word.

"I'll kick the spoon!"

Joe Hart paused in his words and opened and closed his mouth.

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 confused.

Lucky had already begun to retreat at this time, and the panicked Joe Hart began to move left and right and make various fake moves.

But Lucai lowered his head and didn't even look at him.

Beep! ! !

The whistle sounded and Lucky started to run.

Lucky's running speed increased from slow to fast, but each foot seemed to step on the heartbeat of the Arsenal fans at the scene.

At this moment, the gun fans were so nervous that they almost suffocated.

Lucky quickly rushed to the ball and suddenly paused.

This pause made the hearts of the Arsenal fans at the scene seem to suddenly stop.

As for Joe Hart, who wanted to pounce on the right side, his body straightened subconsciously, and his knees straightened slightly.

At this time, Lucai supported with his left foot and decisively swept the ball with his right foot.

The ball flew rapidly towards the goal post on the right, hit the goal post with a clang, and immediately bounced into the net!
