Chapter 323: People who bring pressure
Originally everyone thought that even if Hoffenheim dragged the game into a penalty kick, the result of this game had long been decided. Valdes' level is more than one level higher than Daniel Haas, and Barcelona's players must be better than Hoffenheim. Therefore, the penalty kick was just a decent defeat to Hoffenheim.
But now it’s different. After seeing the wonderful performance of Chu Zhongtian, the temporary goalkeeper in the last few minutes of the game, everyone has a new understanding and expectation of the penalty kick. They all want to see how magical Chu Zhongtian can be... His performance in the game is already amazing, so what about saving the penalty kick?
The German commentator joked: "Maybe when Enyema was sent off, he would directly let Chu be the goalkeeper. Maybe Hoffenheim would not be behind! Haha!"
He Ping was in a very good mood. Seeing Chu Zhongtian performing like this, he, as a Chinese commentator, felt his face shining.
The head coaches of both sides are arranging the order of penalty kicks. The players sit next to him and hurry up to massage and rest.
But it can be clearly seen from the faces of the players of the two teams that their moods were different at this time. Barcelona players were a little listless. The last few minutes of the game were really too big to them. They originally thought they could score goals no matter how determined they were, but no matter how desperate the goal was, they would eventually be saved by Chu Zhongtian, which was completely beyond their imagination!
Some people even think that Chu Zhongtian was possessed by God in this game.
When Guardiola arranged the order of free throws, everyone sat next to him, lowered their heads and said nothing.
It's a completely different scene in Hoffenheim.
Everyone happily discussed Chu Zhongtian’s performance just now.
"Hey! Chu! I can't believe it...how did you do that ball?"
"I'm full of confidence in the penalty shootout now, ahhh! Because we have Chu!"
"To be honest, I gave up on that ball... I really didn't expect Chu to be able to save it! It's so amazing!"
"I thought I was dreaming, it was incredible!"
Everyone praised Chu Zhongtian, but Chu Zhongtian looked calm. After all, the game has not ended yet, and now is not the time to be happy.
Rangnick walked to Chu Zhongtian and squatted down, patted his shoulder. "You really surprised me, Chu."
Chu Zhongtian looked up at Rangnick: "I have been a goalkeeper before, but I didn't expect that I still remember how to guard the goal."
Rangnick smiled: "How about you save the penalty?"
Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I don't know this, I have to try it before I know it."
"Ha, I believe you. Also, I want to ask you, you were originally on the five-man roster, but now you are the goalkeeper, do you still have to play a penalty?"
"You must." Chu Zhongtian's answer was concise and decisive.
Rangnick nodded and wrote Chu Zhongtian's name on it.
In fact, before the penalty shootout, there were really few things that the head coach could do, that is, arrange the order of free throws, and the specific work arrangements were all about the goalkeeper coach.
After Rangnick left, goalkeeper coach Cesar Thiel walked up.
"You really surprised me, Chu." Thiel shook his head.
Chu Zhongtian smiled.
