In the stands behind the coach's bench, Klopp, who was wearing wireless headphones, kept talking. At this time, he hated the bottle of water with no eyes, otherwise they would not be so passive.
After Henderson received Klopp's instructions, he walked up to the referee and guessed coins with Real Madrid captain Ramos.
The first time he guessed the coin and picked the goal, Henderson chose the number, and he won. He decisively chose the goal on the side where his own fans were.
But the second time he chose who would take the penalty first, he lost, and Ramos got the right to kick first for Real Madrid as he wished.
As soon as Klopp received the result, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
Because any head coach knows very clearly that the team that takes the penalty first has a greater chance of winning the penalty shootout.
This is not a metaphysics, but a conclusion drawn from the analysis of a large number of penalty shootout data in football. In 60% of penalty shootouts, the team that takes the penalty first wins the final victory.
If the team that takes the penalty first can score the most stressful penalty kick, their winning rate will skyrocket, and it will also put great psychological pressure on the players of the team that takes the penalty later.
"The penalty shootout is actually to compare the pressure resistance and experience of the players on both sides! Compared with the experienced Real Madrid, Liverpool does not have any advantage, they are too young!"
Hearing Xu Yang's words, He Wei nodded and smiled: "As for the choice of penalty kickers, Liverpool is also far behind Real Madrid. Salah and Milner are no longer on the court."
On the field, Peter called all the players to his side. Klopp said one on the wireless headset and he wrote one on the list.
After writing down the list of the top five designated by Klopp, Peter looked up and asked with a smile: "Does anyone want to be the first one?"
As soon as the words fell, Henderson and others looked at each other in confusion, and then all shook their heads like a rattle.
The next second there was a burst of laughter from the Liverpool crowd.
In terms of psychological pressure, the first penalty is the most stressful.
Once a penalty goal is missed, it will have a huge impact on the team's morale, and it is no exaggeration to say that it will reduce the team's winning rate to the lowest.
Therefore, in a penalty shootout, the first penalty kick is usually taken by the team's chief penalty expert. Again, it must be a player with stable shooting skills and excellent psychological quality.
Because whether or not you can get a good start will be directly related to the mental state of the subsequent free throw players and the state of the goalkeeper.
In addition to the first one, the fifth one is also very important, because the fifth penalty kick has a high probability of directly determining the life or death of the game, and its importance is almost the same as the first one.
"I'll be the first one!" Mo Yang clapped his gloves and gave everyone a confident smile.
Peter was stunned for a moment, then pressed the wireless earphones to continue talking to Klopp.
After a while, after some discussion, the player order list for the penalty shootout between Liverpool and Real Madrid was submitted to the referee Marzic.
Liverpool: Moyang, Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Firmino, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Mane, Lovren,…
Real Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo, Bale, Modric, Ramos, Kroos, Varane...
"Destiny is so magical. In the 2004-2005 season, Liverpool and AC Milan met on a narrow road. They fell behind 0-3 in the first half, but in the second half, under the leadership of Gerrard, they chased three goals in a row and finally beat AC Milan in a penalty shootout.
, perform the Miracle of Instanbul!”
"Now, after 13 years, Liverpool meets the rising Galacticos Real Madrid!"
"And the leader of Liverpool has changed from Gerrard to Mo Yang!"
"After encountering bad luck again and again, Mo Yang pulled Liverpool back from the edge of the cliff! Now the score is still 3-3! They once again encountered a cruel penalty shootout!"
"This is a legacy!"
"It's also the reincarnation of fate!"
"Can the Miracle Night in Instanbul be staged again? We will wait and see!!!"
In the commentary booth, He Wei's passionate commentary was extremely exciting, making countless domestic fans nervous at this moment.
For some older Liverpool fans, this moment is very similar to those years ago.
Amid the high-pitched singing of the Liverpool fans, Mo Yang slowly came to the goal.
In the stands behind the fans, Real Madrid fans made crazy noises and tried to disturb Mo Yang.
But Mo Yang turned a deaf ear. At this time, all he could see was Cristiano Ronaldo, who was walking toward him with the ball.
Just now, Peter told him the habits and characteristics of every penalty kick taken by Real Madrid.
Most of Ronaldo's penalty kicks in his career have been hit to the left, either low and into the lower corner, or into the upper corner.
But even if the goalkeeper predicts that he will shoot to the left, the probability of a successful save is still very low.
Because a super player like Ronaldo will conquer you with his power and perfect angles.
Majic whistled!
Ronaldo exhaled, took a running start, and flicked the ball to the left with a bang.
In front of the goal, Mo Yang, who had lowered his center of gravity, also pounced to the right at the same time.
Although he guessed the direction correctly, the ball finally went in!
Because the angle was so tricky, the ball hit the inside of the goalpost with a clang against the turf and bounced into the net.
"Woo!!!!"
The 70,000 fans at the scene all let out a scream.
Mo Yang got up from the ground, with a smile on his face that was a mixture of surprise and helplessness.
He actually made this save based on his first instinct.
Just now, Peter and Minho came to tell him about observing the posture of the free throw shooter's body during the run-up, about hitting the ball from different parts, etc. To comprehensively judge, a lot of on-site teaching had no effect on him at all.
He is just a guest goalkeeper and cannot be as comprehensive as a real goalkeeper.
Mo Yang knew very well that his only weapons were his superior reflexes and his first instinct, which now felt quite accurate.
"Mo Yang made a very standard save this time. He judged the right direction. But unfortunately, Ronaldo's kick was very powerful and the angle was also very tricky. It was a complete blind spot." Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu both had expressions on their faces.
regret.
"Now that Real Madrid's first penalty kick is scored, the pressure is on Liverpool's side. To put it bluntly, the penalty shootout is a comprehensive game of luck, technology, and psychology! The competition is about who has better luck, better technology, and psychology.
The ability to withstand stress is stronger!”
"Oh!!!" Zhang Lu finished his words and was shocked when he saw Mo Yang holding the ball and walking to the penalty spot, "Mo Yang is the first!"
"Klopp! Klopp who doesn't take the usual path!" Zhan Jun also smiled.
But when he thought about it differently, he guessed that this was also Klopp's helpless choice.
Salah and Milner, the two top penalty takers in the team, are no longer there, and there is no choice at all. Fortunately, there is still Fabinho on the court who is not inferior to Salah and Milner.
"Positive!!!"
"Positive!!!!"
"Positive!!!!!"
Seeing Mo Yang casually tossing the ball after he arrived at the penalty spot, and then casually fixing the ball on the penalty spot with his feet, Liverpool fans immediately cheered in unison.
On the goal line, Navas originally wanted to put pressure and interference on Mo Yang with his fierce eyes and actions, but he didn't expect that Mo Yang didn't even bother to look at him and treated him like nothing!
"Forehead!"
But Navas soon had no time to think about these messy things.
After seeing Mo Yang put the ball in place, he retreated three meters away, Navas was instantly confused!
What is this for?
At this moment, Navas thought of Carlos' penalty kick!
"Goo!"
Navas couldn't help but swallowed when he thought of Mo Yang's several goals with a howitzer that exceeded 150KH/h.
The fans at the scene were a little worried when they saw Mo Yang's running distance.
Because the more violent the penalty kick, the better. Once it cannot be suppressed, it will fly away.
Under the worries of Liverpool fans, Mo Yang started to run after the whistle, and his speed became faster and faster.
Come to the ball, stand on your supporting feet, and swing your legs sideways in one go.
"Bang!!" There was a dull loud noise, frightening the Liverpool fans in the stands behind the goal to close their eyes and shrink their necks.
Navas did not move on the goal line, his eyes were wide open, full of fear, and he seemed to be frozen!
At this moment, countless fans around the world looked at the ball hanging on the net in the upper right corner of the goal, spinning wildly for a long time and refusing to come down. They were stunned and their jaws dropped!
[Navas: You have a grudge against me, right? 】
[Goalkeeper: Don’t come over!!!]
[Shit! Run! You may die! No! You will definitely die!!]
[Cowhide!!! This ball is on fire!!!]
