197. Penalty shootout triggered

Penalty shootout!

The two sides eventually came to the penalty shootout.

The atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and fans on both sides held their breath and their eyes were firmly on the stadium.

'The first to appear in front of goal was Chelsea goalkeeper Petr 61 Cech. It seems that Gary's conjecture is very correct, the first serve will be the away team Liverpool, I wonder who will be the first guy to come up? Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.

"Actually, there are a couple of penalty-taking players in the line-up on both sides." Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said: "Frank Lampard in Chelsea, Gerrard Gerrard and Carragher in Liverpool, these are all players who missed a penalty in the Shijie Cup in Germany, and now they are facing a penalty shoot-out again, these players must have a very heavy psychological load, which is bound to affect their performance today. ”

"Yes! I wonder if the managers of the two teams will let them come out to take the penalty today? It's a suspense. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.

The fans in front of the stadium and in front of the TV thought so, and they all wanted to see if these people would be in front of the penalty spot again.

And at this time, a person came out of the Liverpool team, and in an instant, the Stamford Bridge stadium was boiling.

"Oh, and the first to come out was Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard! It seems that Mr. Benitez still has a lot of trust in his captain, and he let Gerrard be the first to take the main penalty, and the pressure of this first main penalty is very high, I wonder if Gerrard can withstand the pressure? Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.

Yes, the first to come out was the captain of the Red Army, Gerard. At this point, Gerrard was calm and determined, and he seemed confident that he was not affected at all by the penalty kick he missed in the Shijie Cup.

Behind Gerrard, Liverpool's players stood in a row, putting their arms on each other's shoulders, their eyes glued to Gerrard's back, cheering for Gerrard.

At this time, Qiu Ze was also a little nervous. In such a situation, if there is no tension at all, it is absolutely fake, and he tries his best to control his breathing so that his nervousness does not affect the whole team.

"Haode, Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard came to the penalty spot and the first penalty will be taken by Steven Gerrard." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson announced loudly that he was also nervous at this time, and his voice trembled a little as he spoke.

"Gerrard, hit. Fly. Machine! Gerald, hit. Plane! Gerald, think of Germany, you are the best! Inside Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea fans immediately disturbed Gerrard with the most enthusiastic voices they wanted, hoping that Gerrard would repeat the scene at the Shijie Cup in Germany.

"Gerald, you're the best! Kill the damn Chelsea guys! "Liverpool fans cheered for Gerrard with the most sincere voices and gave Gerrard confidence.

On the sidelines, the head coaches of the two teams looked nervously at the stadium at this time, looking at Gerrard in the penalty area, their palms were full of cold sweat and nervous!

Gerrard slowly walked into the penalty area and came to the penalty spot, ready to lean down and play with the football. At this time, Chelsea goalkeeper Peter 61 Cech immediately walked up, stretched out his gloved right hand and pointed at Gerrard, and kept saying something in his mouth, interfering with Gerrard.

This immediately drew displeasure from Liverpool fans and, of course, praise from Chelsea fans.

Gerrard couldn't help frowning, raised his head, looked at the referee, and looked at the referee, looking like he didn't put Peter 61 Cech in his eyes at all, this is Gerrard angry with Peter 61 Cech, from this moment on, the two have begun to fight.

Seeing Gerrard's gaze, the referee immediately stepped forward and signaled Peter61 Cech to hurry back, otherwise he would have to play his cards.

At this crucial moment, Peter61 Cech of course didn't want to take that card, so he shook his index finger at Gerrard faintly, then turned and stepped back onto the goal line, ready to pounce.

The penalty shoot-out is not as simple as a gradual shot, it is more of a psychological war between the server player and the goalkeeper. In fact, the biggest test of serving a penalty is psychology, as long as psychology occupies an advantage, then it occupies an absolute advantage.

Therefore, before Gerrard sent the penalty, Peter 61 Cech would make so many small moves to interfere with Gerrard and make Gerrard upset, so that he Peter 61 Cech would have a chance.

It's good for Peter's 61 Petr Cech to save a penalty because he reacts very quickly and has solid fundamentals. With this guy in front of the Chelsea goal, the Chelsea fans and players are very relieved.

β€œhaode! Gerrard had already placed the ball on the penalty spot, he withdrew from the penalty area, and the penalty was about to be developed. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson announced loudly.

In a moment, the stadium fell silent at Stamford Bridge, with fans on both sides holding their breath and staring inside the stadium.

"Toot!" The referee blew the whistle and the penalty kick officially began. The head coaches of the two teams on the sidelines couldn't help but crane their necks and watch.

The moment the referee blew the whistle, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard began to run, sprinting towards the ball in front of the penalty spot.

In front of the goal, Chelsea goalkeeper Peter 61 Cech kept his eyes wide open, staring closely at Gerrard who was running, and kept guessing the direction of Gerrard's shot.

Gerrard, who was running at high speed, kept his head down, did not look at Peter61 Cech in front of goal, and within a few steps he came to the football, and he immediately picked up his right leg and pumped it hard.

Boom! Steven Gerrard's right foot made a close contact with the ball before slotting a lightning shot into the Chelsea goal.

"Bottom left!" As Gerrard touched the ball with his right foot, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr 61 Cech was struck by the fact that his feet slammed into the ground and his body immediately headed towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

"Peter61 Cech pounced in the right direction......" Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen suddenly roared with excitement, and the Chelsea fans in the audience were even more nervous, even so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

The Liverpool players and Chelsea players who stood in a row in the midfield were even more nervous, and some of them were afraid to look at it, he just closed his eyes and prayed for his teammates in his heart.

Qiu Ze stared at the forbidden area with his eyes wide open, and his heart was also praying for Gerald.

Syllable! The ball slammed into the palm of Peter's 61 Cech and then changed direction and flew off the line against the post.

"Pounced! Amazing save! Brave Cech! He blocked Gerrard's penalty! Chelsea have the initiative! Wow, what a magical save, Cech is amazing! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson suddenly roared with great excitement.

"Ahh I love you to death, Cech! Door God! Shijie First Gate God, we love you! 'Chelsea fans are crazy, crazy. At this time, their shouts instantly drowned out the entire Stamford Bridge, and the entire Stamford Bridge was only the sound of their cheers.

"Oops!" Liverpool fans, on the other hand, sighed collectively, and their sighs revealed a hint of despair. This time, Liverpool is really passive, extremely passive.

"Wow! Get off the wrong foot! The Liverpool team failed to fire the first shot, and this time, the Liverpool team is dangerous, extremely dangerous. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "It seems that Gerrard has not been able to come out of the shadow of the German Shijie Cup, and Benitez has lost the bet." ”

When Cech saved Gerrard's shot, the Liverpool players in the centre circle seemed to lose their strength, and most of them fell to the turf with a sluggish face, which they did not expect.

On the sidelines, Liverpool's head coach Rafael 61 Benitez covered his face with his hands and didn't dare to look at it anymore. Obviously, he was also very disappointed with this result, how could this goal not be scored? It's really dangerous now.

The Chelsea players jumped en masse and cheered excitedly. Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri was also very excited, eager to rush straight onto the pitch to celebrate and cheer with the Chelsea players.

Now the opportunity is in front of Chelsea, and it's up to the Chelseans to seize it.

At this time, the Chelsea fans immediately sang the Chelsea anthem to cheer on the Chelsea players, hoping that the Chelsea players would win the game with one shot.

Gerrard couldn't overcome his fears and he fell in front of the penalty spot again, which made Liverpool dangerous. I don't know, who will Chelsea send next? Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen said.

This time, the pressure was shifted to the Chelsea side, but the pressure on the Chelsea side was significantly lower than that of Steven Gerrard before. Because in this round, they are already invincible, as long as they play football, they win this round.

Everyone in the stadium was waiting for the Chelsea players to show up, and they wanted to see who Chelsea's first guy to serve would be.

It was around that time that Frank Lampard stepped out of the Chelsea squad and strode towards the penalty spot.

"Wow! It's Frank Lampard! It's Frank 61 Frank Lampard! Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said in surprise, "In the German Shijie Cup two years ago, it was Frank Lampard's penalty that caused some reaction from the England players, which led to England's final loss, I wonder what kind of performance Lampard had today?" ”

"Haha! Do the managers of Chelsea and Liverpool have a relationship, did they both discuss Haode before the game, and both sent the guy who missed the penalty two years ago to take the lead? Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said with great amusement.

"Die to Frank Lampard! Think about what you looked like two years ago, when you were so handsome! Liverpool fans were also not going to let go of the Chelsea players, and the moment Frank Lampard walked out, the Liverpool fans immediately greeted Frank Lampard in the most vicious language.

"Come on, Frank! Take out Liverpool! We believe in you! You can do it! 'The Chelsea players are cheering for Frank 61 and they know that what Lampard needs at this point is confidence and they are giving him confidence now.

Standing in the front of the goal, Reina did not step forward to interfere with Lampard like Peter61 Cech, but danced on the goal line, and he interfered with Lampard directly on the goal line, which made the Chelsea fans on the scene very dissatisfied, and complained that Reina's dancing was too disgusting and ugly, which simply affected the city's appearance.

And Liverpool's fans sent Lampard, who played N footballs in the penalty area, with a tidal wave of boos, they thought that Lampard was too capable of doing this, this guy was obviously teasing Reina, making Reina anxious, Reina was in a hurry, in that case, he Lampard had a much better chance of sending football.

'Haode, crowd friends, Chelsea's Frank Lampard was in front of the penalty spot and he will be the winner. I wonder if this guy will return to the German Shijie Cup two years ago like Gerrard before? We'll see. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson quipped.

At that moment, Frank Lampard, who was on the edge of the penalty area, heard the referee's whistle and then ran like a wild horse on the loose, sprinting towards the football on the penalty spot.

Suddenly, the whole Stamford Bridge fell silent, and all eyes were on Frank Lampard, who was running fast.
