Chapter 13 The Magical Use of Small Notes



Chapter 13 The Magical Use of Small Notes
While Henry walked excitedly back to his players' side, Chelsea's first player to play also walked into the penalty area - their vice-captain Lampard.

Lehman was slightly stunned, because he remembered what Li Yuxin had said to him before the penalty shootout.

"There is information about Lampard in the intelligence, but if he comes out, it depends on your reaction speed."

And at this time, Lampard was the first to step forward...

Lehmann gave up the idea of ​​looking at the data, but stood in front of the ball, waiting for the start of the penalty kick.

The referee's whistle blew, Lampard started to run, and Lehmann chose to jump to the left at the moment he shot...

The next moment, the ball flew into the goal from the upper right corner!One to zero, after the end of the first round, Chelsea tied with one to one!
Chelsea fans cheered again from the stands, and Lehmann patted the lawn annoyedly. Just now, he was completely betting on the wrong direction, but it turned out to be wrong-but it seemed useless if he bet right, because the angle Lampard chose was too good, the upper right corner, which is a very dangerous angle, because it is easy to fly, but Lampard grasped the angle of the shot very accurately.

Lampard walked back while applauding to the stands. Chelsea players came up to praise Lampard one after another. To a large extent, this was also a psychological pressure on Arsenal.

At this time, Arsenal's second penalty shooter played - not a striker, nor a midfielder, but their left back Ashley Cole.

Ashley Cole also often took set kicks when he was at Arsenal. There was nothing wrong with his footwork, but in this case, as a defender, he seemed a little unreliable.

Petr Cech, who was standing in front of the goal, patted his hands demonstratively, and then bent down to look at Ashley Cole. His action has great power. After all, as a goalkeeper who is not good at saving penalties, he naturally needs to have great confidence when facing penalties.

Many Arsenal fans in the stands covered their mouths nervously, as if they were afraid that venting their anger would affect Ashley Cole's performance, while Chelsea fans kept shouting loudly, trying to interfere with Ashley Cole's penalty kick.

The referee blew the whistle to take the penalty, and Ashley Cole started a run-up.

Before running close to the ball, Ashley Cole swung his left foot, and Cech quickly made a judgment—this would be a shot to his left and Ashley Cole's right!
However, after he reacted, Ashley Cole changed his footwork at the moment of the shot, from a volley to an arch push-this is a very awkward approach, especially with his left foot. However, Ashley Cole completed this series of actions very well. The ball flew into the right side of the goal, and Cech fell to the ground helplessly.

Huge cheers erupted immediately in the stands!
The Arsenal fans jumped up from their seats one after another, waving their fists constantly. After the penalty kick was scored, they felt a big stone in their hearts!

Wenger waved his fist fiercely. What he was most worried about was that he had made all the preparations, but the players performed abnormally due to fear and excitement when the penalty shootout was coming. Henry had a sign of this. If Ashley Cole made such a mistake again, such emotions would spread throughout the team like a plague!

Fortunately, there is no such situation now. Ashley Cole, who usually seems very quiet and low-key, showed excellent psychological factors and calmness at this time, and scored the first penalty for Arsenal!
Such an action will also make other Arsenal players full of confidence!
Ashley Cole ran back to his teammates with his head held high, and the teammates came up to give him high fives and hugs. At this time, Chelsea's No.2 penalty kicker had already walked towards the penalty area.

The second one who came up was Robben. Lehman saw him from a distance, and then quickly took out the note from his socks, unfolded it, looked at it carefully, and then stuffed the note into his own socks.

His movement was very fast, and the broadcast camera was right at Robben who was walking forward. No one noticed Lehmann's movement, only some neutral fans behind the goal.

When Robben walked up, Lehman bent down slightly, looked at Robben, but thought about what he saw on the note just now...

Robben, a left-footed player, takes the penalty kick and hits the right side habitually. The ball is fast. It is recommended to make a save as soon as possible.

The referee blew the whistle, and Lehman tensed his nerves. When Robben started to run up and kicked the ball with his right foot, he immediately kicked his feet, and the whole person flew horizontally like a rocket!

When he flew out, he happened to see that the ball kicked by Robben was coming in his direction!

The whole process was in the blink of an eye. When Lehman fully stretched his body, the ball had already flown in front of his hands. Then Lehman clasped his hands and pulled the ball out of the baseline from Robben!
The crazy roar of the Arsenal fans sounded from the stands. While waving their fists, they yelled at the Chelsea fans from a distance: "Scream! Shout again! Now we are leading again! Tell you, everything is under control! Don't think we really have no chance to win!"

"Lehmann saved Robben's penalty! A beautiful save, he made a judgment immediately, and then stretched his body in the air! Unlike Cech's failure to save Henry's penalty before, Robben made no mistakes in this penalty, and the angle was chosen very tricky, but Lehmann made an extremely wonderful save!"

Lehman, who got up from the ground, swung his fist violently, then raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, then turned and walked towards the field. When he passed by Cech, Lehman was full of pride.

Even if you are an excellent goalkeeper of the younger generation... I will definitely be better than you!Because we need to be more fully prepared!
There is no doubt that Ashley Cole's shot and Lehmann's pounce in the second round boosted the confidence of the Arsenal players. The impact of the first round draw has been wiped out!

At the beginning of the third round, Pires of Arsenal, who played first, scored the ball cleanly into the lower right corner of the goal. Although Cech judged it correctly, the ball still flew into the goal while rubbing his fingertips!
After scoring the goal, Pires raised his fist towards the stands, and when another wave of Arsenal fans shouted from the stands, Arsenal's momentum had reached its peak!
Next - the shouts of the Arsenal fans reached the peak. Essien, the third Chelsea player, chose to hit the center of the goal with his left foot. Although Lehmann made a save to the right first, he quickly stopped his action, and then blocked Essien's shot with his leg!

Scored two goals in a row!Two goals in a row!Arsenal lead Chelsea [-]-[-] on penalties!
Next came the fourth round. For Chelsea fans, this round gave them hope, because Van Persie, who played first, had a tricky shot angle, but Cech showed the characteristics of an excellent goalkeeper in this save. With accurate judgment and a pair of long arms, he saved Van Persie's penalty very thrillingly!

And Carvalho, the fourth player, is a very unfamiliar penalty shooter to Lehmann. Carvalho basically has no penalty kick experience before, and naturally he has no information about him, because Carvalho is right-footed. Lehman chose to jump to his right side, but Carvalho pushed the ball into the left side of the goal!
Four to two!After four rounds, the advantage is on Arsenal's side!
Last round!If Arsenal score in this round, it will be over. If not, then the game will enter a round to determine the outcome!
Arsenal's fifth appearance is Li Yuxin!

As the future star of the Arsenal team, Li Yuxin came up as a supporter. Although he is young, he has a wealth of experience in playing set pieces, but he has never played in the final. At this time, will he lose his mentality?

Li Yuxin walked into the penalty area, and all the fans in the audience couldn't help but quiet down. At this moment, it seemed that no amount of booing would be of any use...

Cech looked at this young striker, he didn't know that he was not familiar with Li Yuxin, but Li Yuxin was very familiar with him, but in another time and space...

"I will definitely jump out." Cech thought in his heart, then bent down again, watching Li Yuxin's movements carefully.

Following the whistle of the referee, Li Yuxin started to run, and Cech also tensed his nerves. The next moment, Li Yuxin pushed his left foot to the left side of the goal, and Cech also made a correct judgment!
"The ball went in! Li hit the penalty very resolutely! The ball almost hit the post and flew into the goal! Theoretically, it was a dead corner! Although Cech judged the correct direction, the ball still flew into the goal! Now Arsenal are leading [-]-[-]! If Crespo fails to score this penalty, Arsenal will usher in the Champions League champion!"

"Crespo is Chelsea's No.5 player! The coaches of both sides seem to think that the penalty kick will go to the last round, and the players in the fifth round are all under the box! Will Crespo score this goal? Let us wait and see!"

When Crespo stepped forward, Lehmann took out the note again.

His movements were finally discovered by others, and some commentators began to say: "What is Lehman doing? He seems to be looking at something... and then stuffed it into his socks. Could it be some kind of information? This is a pioneering work... It is impossible for the goalkeeper to spend so much energy memorizing this during the game, but it is like a cheat sheet. It will be beneficial to be able to read it..."

"Despicable German! Don't be fooled by Jorge, shoot at an angle you rarely shoot!" The pro-Chelsea commentator shouted loudly.

It's a pity that Crespo didn't hear his heart-piercing shouts-for penalty shooters, in the penalty shootout, of course they have to shoot in the most comfortable way, so that they can better pursue the success rate!

In fact, before the semi-finals in 06, no one thought that this method could be used to gain an advantage before the penalty shootout-it is also surprising that the Germans, who are known for their rigor, could first come up with this method...

There was nothing wrong with Crespo's penalty kick. He volleyed directly to the lower right corner with his right foot. If the goalkeeper made a judgment and then made a save, it would be too late. However, before he took the shot, Lehmann had already flew to his left side, and then blocked Crespo's penalty kick out of the baseline with one hand!
Four to two!Arsenal win!

 The Community Shield is over
