"Beautiful, Rowan completed the shot cleanly. As a result, the score between the two teams was finally fixed at 4 to 4, which means that the two sides drew in the regular penalty shootout in the first round.
It will enter the sudden death stage." Su Shi was very excited. He had always been looking forward to the performance of the grassroots team. If Rowan had not scored the goal just now, the game would have ended, and Su Shi would not have been able to accept it. Fortunately,
Luo Wen completed the shot very quickly. Although Zhou Zhe, the goalkeeper of the Huangtian team, judged the direction of the ball, the angle of Luo Wen's shot was too tricky. Even if he judged the direction correctly, Zhou Zhe could not make any move.
The only way to deal with it is to watch Cuju fall into the net.
"In this way, the two sides will enter a stage where as long as one side fails to score a penalty, the game will end directly. Obviously, this stage has an advantage for the Huangtian team. After all, Wang Da and Wang Yiyi both started.
Without playing, they waited until this stage to come forward to end the game. On the contrary, there were only a handful of people left on the grassroots team who could shoot." Su Che analyzed calmly.
Next, because it was the first time for hundreds of people present to watch the new Cuju competition, the commentator needed to explain the sudden death stage that was about to begin.
In the penalty shootout, if the number of goals scored in the first five rounds is the same, it will enter the second stage - commonly known as the "sudden death" stage.
The two sides take turns to kick penalty kicks in turn. If in one round, both sides score or neither side scores, the next round will continue. Until in a certain round, one side scores a penalty kick and the other side does not, the game ends.
At the end, the team that scores the penalty kick wins the final victory.
In the "sudden death" stage, the pressure on the players is huge, which tests the psychological quality of the players taking the penalty.
If the player who takes the penalty first does not make the penalty, then the player who takes the penalty later will have a high probability of ending the game.
And if the player who takes the penalty first makes a free throw, the challenge faced by the player who takes the penalty later will be huge, so taking the penalty first and then taking the penalty each has its advantages and disadvantages.
After the introduction of the rules, the players from both sides of the field gathered together. Unlike the list of five players given at the beginning, in the sudden death phase, the captain and leader decide who will take the free throws in each round.
Of course, there is no need to say more about the Huangtian team. The first person they came forward to take a penalty kick was captain Wang Da. In other words, this was the moment he was waiting for. Wang Da and Wang Yi, two extremely capable offensive players,
Forwards, they will use their skills and strength to end the game at this stage.
"Although it is a bit cruel to say this, it is obvious that with the current situation of the game, the grassroots team's hope of winning is basically gone." Cao You said in the rest area, "Everyone in the Huangtian team is very calm now. They know
, my captain and vice-captain will definitely be able to score goals. The strength of these two people is obvious to all, so it is understandable that they are confident of winning."
Pan Wen and Yang Tao both agreed with Cao You's idea. They looked at Chen Chen on the court and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
On the field, Wang Da and Wang Yi had a brief exchange with the players. Obviously, everything was going according to the plot they designed. Originally, when Chen Chen missed the penalty kick, they thought it was unnecessary.
When he came on the field, the Huangtian team could win the game with the first five goals. However, Meng Yu's outstanding performance later and the goals of other grassroots team members finally brought the game to this stage. However, the two people were not at all
Not nervous, it’s not that I don’t look down on the Grassroots team, but that among their team, except for the five starting players, the offensive ability is indeed inferior to that of the Huangtian team. In addition, once it enters the sudden death mode, the penalty will be
The pressure people have to bear is even greater. Once the Huangtian team who takes the first free throw scores a goal, as long as the players of the grassroots team who take the second free throw fail to score, the game will end directly. This alone is not good for the shooting ability.
The grassroots situation will undoubtedly make matters worse for us.
Wang Da and Wang Yi know this very well. They also believe that if their first five penalty kick players are lucky, they can win it directly. But even if they are not lucky, as long as they enter the sudden death mode, Huang Tian will
The team can basically win.
After entering the sudden death mode, both teams will have a short five-minute rest period. This is time for the captains of both teams to study the next personnel arrangements, and then, time for some psychological counseling.
Of course, there is no need to say more about the Huangtian team. Wang Da and Wang Yi are very confident, and they are the two people who took the penalty kick first, so there is naturally no pressure. Wang Da just walked up to Zhou Zhe and let him wait for a while.
If you play well, as long as you save one ball, your side will definitely win. The tone of his words clearly means that it is absolutely impossible for him and Wang Yi to miss the penalty kick.
As for the grassroots team, Chen Chen once again felt the pressure. When he made the decision in the second half of the game to drag the game into overtime or even a penalty shootout, Chen Chen had already thought about the current situation.
Adopting a desperate formation method, he put five players who can complete excellent shooting into the starting five, striving to win in the first five goals. However, it turns out that this time he
Not so lucky, and judging from the result, everything was ruined in his own hands. If he could kick the ball in, the grassroots team would end the penalty shootout with a score of 5 to 4. However, now entering
At the sudden death stage, Chen Chen had no cards left in his hand. Although Chen Chen personally selected the next players, he could only choose the bigger ones from the dwarfs. Chen Chen knew very well that the remaining players he had
Among them, there are basically no people with excellent shooting ability, so how to win when facing Wang Da and Wang Yi? Although Meng Yu has saved a penalty kick before, but the level of Wang Da and Wang Yi
, even above Luo Wen, they have no pressure now. Chen Chen can't imagine what mistakes the two of them will make and fail to score. It seems that his defeat should be doomed.
"Captain, what are your instructions next?"
At this time, Meng Yu's voice suddenly came, and Chen Chen came back to his senses. He had been bowing his head in deep thought just now, which made the other team members look confused and did not dare to disturb him.
Chen Chen gave a wry smile and said, "I don't have any instructions. You have to perform well. I believe in you."
After saying that, Chen Chen patted Meng Yu on the shoulder, and then called all the members of the grassroots team together.
Then, Chen Chen bowed directly in front of everyone. Under everyone's surprised gaze, Chen Chen said: "The game has reached this point, and everyone knows that our chance of winning is not as big as the other party's. The main reason for the current situation is
For me, if I hadn't kicked the ball away..."
Chen Chen wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Luo Wen, and Lu Yang on the side also said: "Losing is everyone's business, not one person's responsibility. If our offensive ability can be stronger, then
We don’t have to wait until the penalty shootout, and maybe we don’t even have to play overtime. So captain, you don’t have to take all the responsibility on yourself.”
Luo Wen nodded and said: "Yes, if we lose, we can all bear it together. Anyway, if we lose the game today, we should go to work at Mr. Lu Yao's bank tomorrow, so it doesn't matter."
After saying that, everyone laughed. However, Chen Chen found that although everyone was comforting themselves, the fact was indeed the same as what Luo Wen said. Even if they really lost today's game, Chen Chen and Lu Yao would not know what happened next.
They have made arrangements and have things to do.
However, Chen Chen could see that although everyone was trying to comfort themselves, their expressions and eyes also showed a sense of reluctance. Everyone still hoped that the grassroots team could play a few more games with this lineup.
.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen blamed himself even more. Just to boost morale, he accepted everyone's comfort. Then he revived the morale of the army and started arranging personnel.
"The timeout will pass soon. How about it? Now my team can be said to have a guaranteed chance of victory."
In the royal rest area, Zhao Zhen looked at the situation on the field and finally felt relieved. Then he started to show off to Lu Yao next to him.
Although Zhao Zhen said this a little arrogantly, Lu Yao had to admit that what he said was indeed the truth. Lu Yao nodded and said: "Yes, entering this sudden death mode, the strength of the Huangtian team is indeed stronger
Some, but in Weichen's opinion, if the grassroots team can drag the game to this point, they are not actually a loser. Before this game started, basically not many people thought they could win."
Although Lu Yao said this, he still expressed his attitude and praised the grassroots team. But in the end, Lu Yao's attitude was that he felt that the Huangtian team could win this game. Now Zhao Zhen, even more
Of course, the focus was on the result of this game. Hearing Lu Yao's opinion was reassuring. As for what he said about the grassroots team, let him talk about it. So Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, the grassroots team.
They performed very well, but if they really win this game, it will be more difficult for me."
On the court, five minutes had passed. Zhan Zhao blew the whistle gently to let the players from both sides enter. Meng Yu walked to the goal, while the Huangtian team walked toward the penalty spot with Cuju.
It's none other than their captain, Wang Da.
The sudden death stage has officially begun.
Meng Yu knew that what he was about to face was the captain of the Huangtian team, who could also be said to be the person with the strongest offensive ability among the fifteen members of the opposing team. In fact, the grassroots team was able to win in the entire 120-minute game.
Meng Yu only conceded one goal. Although Meng Yu performed well, but when it comes to extraordinary performance, Meng Yu absolutely does not. And the reason why the grassroots team has only conceded one goal so far is apart from Meng Yu's normal performance.
In addition, it should be attributed to the very strong defense of the grassroots team, that is, the grassroots team members on the back line, and even Luo Wen who came back to cover up the defense later. There are Luo Wen and Lu Yang, plus the overall defense.
Only by using this strategy can we limit the performance of Huang Tian's twin stars, Wang Da and Wang Yi, to the greatest extent, so that the other team only scored one goal in the whole game.
Therefore, although the probability of winning is now low, Meng Yu still believes in his teammates very much. They will not give up easily. Every player who is trying their best to defend on the court runs hard and fights desperately.
When it comes to pressing, they have this belief in winning. Even if they face a shot that they are not good at, they might be able to do very well.
As for himself, he naturally has to perform well. Having said that, although the Huangtian team only scored one goal in the whole game, leaving aside other people's shots and looking at Wang Da and Wang Yi's shots alone, it was
A very high level. The best thing to know about the quality of a shot is probably the striker who shoots the ball plus the opponent's goalkeeper. When the forward kicks the ball, he can compare it with his usual shots at the moment he takes the shot.
To analyze whether his shot performed at a normal level, including ball speed and angle, etc. The opponent's goalkeeper will also make corresponding judgments when saving the shot. Therefore, as a goalkeeper, Meng Yu
It is very clear that every shot by Wang Da and Wang Yi is very powerful, with tricky angles and very fast ball speed. Especially Wang Yi's goal, Meng Yu didn't even have time to react, he knew that the ball had been lost.
Therefore, facing Wang Da not far in front of him, Meng Yu even saw Wang Da wave to him and smiled. It is impossible to say that there is no pressure or nervousness. Now it is sudden death mode. As long as the side that shoots the free throw first
, that is, if Wang Da of the Huangtian team scored this goal, the players of the grassroots team who will take the free throw will be very pressured. At that time, as long as the grassroots team does not score a free throw, the game will end directly.
And if Meng Yu saves the ball, then once a member of the grassroots team scores a penalty kick, the grassroots team will win. Therefore, the key players in the game are the goalkeepers of the two teams.
Let's see who can perform better.
The game is now going on. The three commentators on the commentary desk, Zhao Zhen in the royal rest area, the leaders of several teams in the public rest area, and even Lu Yao and the audience are all unable to sit still. Who is it?
Everyone knew in their hearts that every ball was crucial now. Almost at the same moment, everyone stood up from their seats as Wang Da put Cuju on the penalty spot. They wanted to take a closer look at every ball.
and the reaction of every player on the field.
At the same time, Zhan Zhao was also nervous. Before the game, he would never have thought that this first game could go to the sudden death stage of the penalty shootout. Originally, Zhan Zhao only regarded the refereeing work of this new Cuju competition as his own
It's just a hobby. His main business is the people of Kaifeng Mansion. However, now that the game is going on, Zhan Zhao has begun to immerse himself in the fun of the game itself. As a referee, he also wants to watch the game between the Huangtian team and the Grassroots team.
How will it end in the end?
Different from the previous five free throws, the manuscript given by Lu Yao said that when entering the sudden death stage, the free throw players and the opponent's goalkeeper should be given sufficient rest time, and they should be prepared after seeking the opinions of both parties.
After that, the whistle is blown for a penalty kick. This is a rule Lu Yao made for the new Cuju competition that is different from modern football. There is a time limit for penalty kicks in modern football, and no player will really know how to do it.
It took a long time to adjust. However, Lu Yao felt that people in the Northern Song Dynasty were really famous for having many ideas, and for people like them, they must be given sufficient preparation time, so they were listed in the manuscript about the rules.
This is a rather special item.
Zhan Zhao waited until Wang Da put Cuju on the penalty spot and began to ask whether both sides still needed to prepare. What Zhan Zhao didn't expect was that Meng Yu and Wang Da almost said at the same time that they were ready.
It seems that the mentality of both sides has been adjusted very well. On one side is the captain of the Huangtian team who is sure of victory and has absolute confidence in his shooting. On the other side, is the goalkeeper whose intuition is very accurate and has made wonderful saves before.
Meng Yu, the duel between the two is about to begin.
Katsuyuki Zhejiang on the commentary table said: "From now on, whether every goal can be scored is very important. Every goal may become a shot that determines the outcome of the game. Although Meng Yu of the grassroots team looks very calm, but
Facing Wang Da, he is obviously the one with greater pressure."
Everyone watching the game was very convinced by Zhe Katsuyuki's statement. Of course, the people watching the game paid more attention to the final result of the game than the technicality and enjoyment of the game. It's simple, that's because
Each of them bought football lottery tickets, so most of the audience still hoped that the Huangtian team could win, but they did not shout, and now handed over time and territory to Wang Da on the field.
The area where Lao Chen was standing that supported the grassroots team also became silent at this time. Lao Chen looked at the situation on the court and recalled what Lu Yao had told him before. It was arranged by Lu Yao first. If the grassroots team is like this
After losing the game, Lao Chen asked what Lao Chen said to Chen Chen. Looking at the current form of the game on the field, Lao Chen sighed. Now it is time to recall what Lu Yao said to himself before.
On the court, both sides were ready, so Zhan Zhao no longer wasted time and blew the whistle directly, which meant that Wang Da could hit the goal at any time.
The moment the whistle sounded, Meng Yu felt that his heartbeat was accelerating, and his brain began to go blank. Facing Wang Da's shot, Meng Yu knew clearly that even if he judged the direction correctly, he would not be able to do it.
It must be completely intercepted.
Now, it’s better to leave everything to intuition. The moment Meng Yu saw Wang Da kicking the door, he subconsciously made a save.
It's the right side! This is what Chen Chen told Meng Yu about Wang Da's shooting habits. In terms of direction, Meng Yu judged it correctly. He saw his fingertips touching Cuju, but because the ball was too fast, only his fingertips touched.
It’s just Cuju, and it may not affect the original trajectory of Cuju.
Wang Da, who was shooting, obviously didn't expect that the ball he kicked out so fast would actually be touched by Meng Yu. Then, he saw that Cuju slightly changed its trajectory and speed after being touched by Meng Yu's fingertips.
, then, he went straight to the right goal post.
Could it be that he would really be stopped by this guy? Wang Da was very worried, but then he saw that the Cuju hit the right goal post and then bounced into the goal.
At that moment, Wang Da breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, the goal was scored.
Meng Yu got up from the ground, looking very frustrated. If he had been faster, jumped farther, and not touched Cuju with his fingertips, would he have been able to complete the save just now? Thinking of this,
Meng Yu became even more frustrated. He lowered his head and started walking towards the location of the grassroots team.
"Don't lower your head. You can judge the direction of the opponent and touch Cuju. It is not an easy task." Chen Chen's voice came. He put his hand on Meng Yu's shoulder and said, "Besides, you are not
You didn’t lose, it’s just that you were unlucky just now.”
"That's right" came Lu Yang's voice next, "and we didn't lose, apprentice, you have to play well, give the ball to master and I will kick it in!"
Listening to everyone's comforting words, Meng Yu felt a lot less guilty.
Wang Da also returned to his team. The first thing he said when he saw Wang Yi was "This goalkeeper is really difficult to deal with. If there is another round, you have to be careful."
"That's true." Wang Yi had just seen Meng Yu's reaction and saving style, and knew that he was not an ordinary goalkeeper.
Then, the two began to find Zhou Zhe to discuss.
Emperor Zhao Zhen was as relieved as Wang Da. When he saw Meng Yu's fingertips touching Cuju, he had a very ugly expression on his face. Lu Yao saw all this.
However, after Cuju hit the net, Zhao Zhen once again regained his energetic appearance. At least now, the Huangtian team is in an invincible situation, and he does have the capital to do so.
It's a pity, this was the first thought in Lu Yao's mind. Meng Yu missed a save that changed the outcome of the game. Of course, Lu Yao also understood that he could not be blamed for this.
On the commentary table, Zhe Kexing, Su Shi, and Su Che all felt sorry for Meng Yu's save just now. They all agreed that although Wang Da's shot was powerful, Meng Yu's reaction was also very timely, and he had even touched Cuju.
, but, God is fair to everyone, this time luck was on the side of Huangtian team, Cuju hit the goalpost and bounced into the goal.
"If Meng Yu had made a successful save just now, the outcome of the game might have been different." Zhe Kexing sighed and said.
