v6 Chapter 51 - Critical moment
When He Ying ran to the ball in the bottom left corner but was thrown out by Cesar, the Chinese team players standing near the middle circle all hugged their heads, looking very regretful and surprised.
The Brazilian players next to them took a breath and cheered.
When William kicked the football, their performance was the same as the current Chinese team players.
Next came Brazil’s third appearance is Marcelo, he kicked the football to the right, this time Sun Pan judged the right direction, but Marcelo shot too much power, although he judged the right direction, in the save The speed was still a bit short, and eventually the football flew into the goal in front of his fingertips!
“Oh, Sun Pan judged the ball in the right direction, but he didn’t stop… Now the Chinese team is behind in the penalty score 1:2…” He Ping felt sorry for Sun Pan’s save.
Sun Pan was even more sorry. He fell to the ground and thumped the turf hard. Behind him was the cheers of Brazilian fans, which was mixed with mocking.
He bowed his head and left the goal, Cesar passed him past him and took it in front of the goal.
It’s China’s turn to take the penalty kick.
Wu Lei, the third penalty player of the Chinese team, trot up, ready to kick the penalty kick.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV set held their breath and looked nervously at the TV screen.
Under the eyes of hundreds of millions of eyes, Wu Lei put the football away, then backed away, waiting for the signal from the referee.
The whistle sounded!
Wu Lei runs up and then plays!
But when the football flew to the goal, He Pingdi had a very bad idea in mind-Wu Lei did not kick the ball to the lower left corner or the lower right corner. It’s a half-height kick to Cesar’s right… This is the goalkeeper’s favorite ball!
Sure enough, Cesar swooped to the right and blocked the football from Wu Lei with both hands!
“Ahhhhh!!!” The Brazilian commentator screamed and cheered desperately, “Cesar! Cesar!!! He saved two penalties of the Chinese team in a row!!”
Thunderous cheers and applause rang throughout the Mineiro Stadium.
After two successful saves, Cesar got up from the ground and patted his chest vigorously. This was a performance of the goalkeeper’s confidence.
The Brazilians are reveling, the Chinese are sad.
Wu Lei, who missed a penalty, bowed his head and covered his face with both hands. When he was most needed to come forward, he failed to withstand the pressure.
He Ying’s penalty penalty was obviously a big impact on his emotions, so he hesitated to kick this kick and even kicked out a goalkeeper’s favorite angle…
If the Chinese team is eliminated, he will surely become the sinner of Chinese football and be scolded by national fans…
Wu Lei shuddered at the thought of this future.
He didn’t even know how he walked back into the team. It wasn’t until everyone came over and slapped him on the shoulders and head to comfort him that he found himself already among his teammates.

The fourth player in Brazil is Hulk. Wu Lei missed a penalty, which made his pressure a lot less. When he walked to the penalty spot, it looked very easy.
After the football was set, the referee whistled and he started running.
Unlike other teammates who stepped up to run, Hulk ran forward in small steps, observing Sun Pan’s movements while running.
But Sun Pan stood in front of the door, immobile, unable to see where he was going.
This made Hulk suddenly panicked. He had intended to see Sun Pan’s movements, and then decided where to play the football. As a result, now that Sun Pan was still, he didn’t know where to play… …Although he was running with a small break, the speed was not fast, but he always had to run to the end, and soon he came to the football and had to shoot.
In the uncertain, Hulk’s last thought is-forget it, shoot the football towards the middle! The kid’s first three penalties were thrown to the side, and he didn’t stay in the middle once!
So Hulk shot low and drove the football towards the middle.
Sun Pan did dump his body towards the right when Hulk got up, but he soon saw that the football was flying towards the position where he stood, so he gave up his intention to throw himself out, body He dumped to the right, but his legs dragged behind.
When Hulk’s penalty kick came, he just hit Sun Pan’s foot and was kicked out by Sun Pan!
“Sun Pan -!!!” He Ping stood up and shouted. “Sun Pan! At this critical moment! He saved Hulk’s penalty! This save is too crucial! Too important!”
There was a burst of exclamation and sigh throughout the Minero stadium when Hulk failed to score.
In this voice, Sun Pan climbed up from the ground, turned to the Brazilian fans with his hands on his back in the stands, and pulled the Chinese flag on his chest, and showed them.
He finally waited for revenge, in a way that a goalkeeper was good at.

When Sun Pan saved a Hulk penalty, the Chinese team also cheered. Wu Lei secretly relieved.
Next, as long as the fourth appearance of Yang Muge can kick the ball, in the total score, the Chinese team will be tied with Brazil again. Both parties can return to the same starting line.
Some people have set their sights on Yang Muge, but they dare not say anything to Yang Muge, for fear of putting pressure on him.
When Yang Muge was going forward to take the penalty kick, Zhou Yi called him behind him: “Old Yang, the heavy burden is on your shoulders.”
He smiled and said to Yang Muge that as soon as he said this, he surprised other Chinese players. At this time, shouldn’t he try to avoid Yang Muge’s stress? Shouldn’t we try to dilute the difficulties and crises of the situation? Why can’t Zhou Yi open which pot?
After listening to Zhou Yi’s words, Yang Muge didn’t change any expression on his face. He nodded calmly, then turned and walked forward.
This scene fell in the eyes of some Chinese team players, only thinking that Yang Muge must have been stressed by Zhou Yi, and he couldn’t say anything nervous.
But looking at Zhou Yi again, it is still with a smile on his face, and he seems to be totally unaware that he has done something wrong.

“The fourth free thrower for the Chinese team is Yang Muge, who plays for Schalke 04 and is in the midfield. He is not a player who is good at scoring. He also scored only one goal in Schalke 04 and never made a penalty Penalty record…”The Brazilian commentator introduced Yang Muge to the Brazilian fans. Judging from the information in his hand, Yang Muge is not the kind of player who is sure to take the penalty and he does not even understand Lippi Why should Yang Muge arrange for a penalty kick, and still arrange to play in fourth place.
You know, the fourth round of the penalty shootout is a very important watershed. Many players have missed this, many teams have stopped here, and they have not even reached the fifth round.
In ESPN statistics, strikers and defenders have the highest penalty shooting percentages, the former has 83%, the latter has 74%, and the midfielders only 70% One.
Cesar has saved the Chinese team’s penalties twice in a row. He is now in good shape. Facing a new player who has never played a penalty before, he must have a psychological advantage.
As long as he can save Yang Muge’s penalty, the advantage will return to Brazil, and the pressure will be transferred to the Chinese team…
When the Brazilian television receiver chattered about Yang Muge, Yang Muge had already put the football in place. He took two steps back and turned to look at the referee Weber.
Cesar made a movement that interfered with him in front of him. He waved his arm, but none of these Yang Muge looked at it.
“If Yang Muge can score this penalty, then we will tie the Brazilian team in the score…” He Ping said in a very soft voice and his tone was not very firm.
As soon as his voice fell, he heard Weber’s whistle.
A crisp whistle sounded over Minero Stadium. Yang Muge was like a 100-meter athlete. At the moment the whistle sounded, he started running.
After two steps, he ran behind the football, then lifted his right leg and kicked the football.
Cesar shook his body a bit~www.mtlnovel.com~ made a posture to save.
The football that Yang Muge’s weight lifted into the air, just like a cannonball, hit the goal very fast, so that when the football flew to the goal, Cesar’s save action had not been made, and his body I just shook it for a while, and then watched the football fly into his goal, helpless.
“Yang Muge! Good kind! Good kind! Withstood the pressure and scored cleanly!” He Ping cheered loudly. “The Chinese team is currently chasing a 2:2 draw in the total penalty score!”
Yang Muge didn’t celebrate after scoring a goal, but just turned around silently and walked back. Only the smile on his face revealed his inner joy.
In ESPN’s statistics, midfielders do have the lowest penalty percentage, but in the fourth penalty percentage, the stability of midfielders is better than that of forwards and defenders.
Let a midfielder who will not give up easily and is good at stalking in the defense take the penalty. Even if he has not had a successful free throw record before, I believe it will not disappoint?
This is why Lippi arranged for Yang Muge to take the fourth penalty.
