Chapter Seventy-Five: Do You Want to Take a Penalty?

"During this time, Guangzhou Evergrande's offensive was very fierce! With the advantage of playing one more, Bayern Munich was besieged by Guangzhou Evergrande! Duan Xuan said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Bayern, who play one less, must pay the price of more physical fitness, they are at a physical disadvantage, it depends on whether Guangzhou Evergrande can seize this opportunity to score!" Xu Yang added on the side.

However, as time goes by, it will be difficult for Guangzhou Evergrande to maintain such offensive intensity.

Especially in the 102nd minute, Zheng Zhiqian's pass was wrong, Kroos broke the ball and passed the ball directly to Shaqiri on the wing.

Shaqiri drove straight into the ball with the ball, passed Qin Sheng and Feng Xiaoting one after another, and completed a curling shot near the arc of the penalty area.

If Zeng Cheng hadn't focused enough and struggled to save the ball from the bottom line, Bayern Munich would have been able to regain the lead at this time.

And Bayern's counterattack also made Guangzhou Evergrande tremble. Shaqiri's dribbling rush reminded Guangzhou Evergrande that although the opponent played one less, it did not mean that Bayern had no power to fight back. Especially with their players' super individual ability, they only need one or two chances to pry open Guangzhou Evergrande's goal.

Shaqiri's shot after a succession of dribbles just now is an example of this! If the ball goes in, it's all over..........

Then Guangzhou Evergrande did not dare to press on it anymore and began to play cautiously.

The first half of extra time passed quickly, and when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, players from both sides hurriedly took this opportunity to drink on the sidelines and take the opportunity to rest and catch their breath. The manager will also take the time to communicate with the players and make some adjustments.

Although the rules stipulate that there is no break between the first and second halves of extra time, the two sides directly exchange fields and start the second half of the game.

But in practice, it's not really that strict.

The extra-time game was also a test for the referee, who also ran on the field for more than 100 minutes, and they were not athletes yet and were generally older than the players. Therefore, at this time, the referee himself was also resting on the sidelines.

Standing in the middle of the Bayern players who were busy drinking water, Guardiola clapped his palms vigorously and shouted at his players: "Guys! We still have fifteen minutes to pick ourselves up. Their attacking pressure in the first half has already drained their physical strength! In the second half we needed to attack! Need to score!! ”

Pep Guardiola was right, Guangzhou Evergrande's attack in the first half did not protect the goal, but instead made their physical energy depleted faster.

Zheng Zhi, who is already thirty-three, stood on the sidelines with a water bottle in one hand and his knees in the other, panting heavily, sweat dripping from his face.

The surrounding Guangzhou Evergrande players were not much better, and the high-intensity game of more than 100 minutes in a row was a cruel torture for many players.

After the start of the second half of extra time, the situation on the field was completely reversed.

Bayern Munich began to besiege Guangzhou Evergrande.

This is often the case in extra-time in soccer matches, with each side scoring for 15 minutes each, which is also the limit of the players' fitness.

Just like now, Guangzhou Evergrande contracted back, and Bayern Munich began to press.

Compared to their previous attacks, Bayern Munich's attack began to become more direct, and it could even be said to be simple and crude.

Fifteen minutes is not too long, and it is not too short. When a last-ditch effort is needed, a simple and straightforward approach is often more effective.

That's what Bayern's attack is right now, and their approach is to let Shaqiri dribble the ball in the direction of Guangzhou Evergrande, either cross from the bottom or cut straight inside to shoot.

Shaqiri was a player who came on in extra-time and has plenty of fitness. And his breakthrough technique with the ball is very good, when the physical strength of both sides is almost to the limit, he comes up to get the ball and rushes, making it difficult for Guangzhou Evergrande players to parry.

In the 110th minute, when Guangzhou Evergrande cleared again and was controlled by the Bayern players on the periphery, Bayern's attack made another comeback!

Shaqiri took the initiative to run over to get the ball and Lahm passed it to him.

Shaqiri took the ball and turned around, and easily got rid of Qin Sheng's sticky defense.

Zhang Linpeng stepped forward, faced Shaqiri's dribbling and fought and retreated, not daring to grab easily. In the face of a player like Shaqiri who is good at breaking through, Zhang Linpeng does not dare to keep too close to the opponent, especially now that his physical strength is about to run out, the opponent can easily use the speed to throw himself away.

Shaqiri has managed to beat Zhang Linpeng a few times, and he has already gained confidence when facing Zhang Linpeng.

He kept the rhythm of the ball forward, and when he was almost on the line of the penalty area, he suddenly changed his rhythm and flicked the ball with his right foot!

Cut in!!

The sudden change in rhythm made Zhang Linpeng completely unable to keep up, and Shaqiri completed the inward cut with ease. Before the defenders came up to mark, he shot straight at goal!

Feng Xiaoting fell to the ground in the penalty area and slid the ball and blocked it. Pizarro, who was cruising in the penalty area, suddenly appeared with a supplementary shot, which was subconsciously blocked by Zeng Cheng with his hand and popped up the bottom line!

Guangzhou Evergrande is under great pressure during this time, their defense looks like it has begun to crumble, and the goal seems to be ready to be crushed by Bayern's attack at any time!

"Bayern's offensive was very fierce during this time, and Guangzhou Evergrande's players had no more ways to defend Shaqiri, and if they were fit, they might not have made Shaqiri so easy. Now there are seven or eight minutes left in the game time, and Guangzhou Evergrande needs to survive this difficult seven or eight minutes! Duan Xuan said a little nervously.

At this time, Bayern's corner kick was issued, and Zeng Cheng, who was attacked, jumped high and hugged him in his arms.

Zeng Cheng held the ball in his arms and motioned to his teammates to slow down the tempo. That's right! Now that Bayern's offensive is booming, Guangzhou Evergrande needs to slow down the pace first. ”

Zeng Cheng waited until all the Bayern players were out of the penalty area before throwing the ball to Kim Young-quan.

After Kim Young-quan took the ball, he rubbed the ball up and gave it to Li Qingshan, who returned to the midfield.

Li Qingshan padded his chest and stopped the ball. He then shielded the ball and took it to the sideline.

With one arm of his hand, he kept Kroos and Thiago in the back of his hand, and he even had the energy to watch his team-mates' movements left and right.

Kroos, who was eager to snatch the ball back, stretched out his foot from behind Li Qingshan and tried to hook the ball out, but his foot swept into Li Qingshan's calf.

Li Qingshan was swept to the ground by him, and the referee's whistle sounded, and Kroos was awarded a foul.

Li Qingshan's trick was used a long time ago in the previous FA Cup, but he didn't expect that when facing Bayern, he had to "return to his old business" again.

Now the situation of Guangzhou Evergrande is very bad, especially in the face of the breakthrough of Shaqiri, who is full of physical strength, even if two defenders are arranged to defend, it is difficult to defend. But if you continue to add more defenders, the rest of the area will be vacated! The quality of Bayern's other players should not be underestimated!

The second half of extra time was slowly ticking.

Guangzhou Evergrande retreated with all the members, and when there was a chance to get the ball, they handed it over to Li Qingshan to delay the time, and it looked like they were ready to drag the game into a penalty shootout!

"Now it's the 118th minute, and it's still Bayern Munich attacking. With two minutes to go, if the score doesn't change, the game will go to a brutal penalty shootout! Duan Xuan said a little nervously.
