No. [256] Return: Please leave comrades with heart disease
Since the start of extra-time, the players of the Birmingham team have launched a fierce attack and bombarded Aston Villa with the frantic cheers of the Birmingham fans.
Aston Villa were much more cautious in extra time, and did not have the previous crazy attacking posture, but chose to defend, of course, they are not blindly defending, they are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a fatal opportunity to counterattack.
At this time, the Aston Villa team is like a king cobra, immobile in the face of ferocious attacks, always patiently looking for a lethal opportunity, as long as the opponent sells a little flaw, they are quick to strike, a fatal blow.
When attacking frantically, the Birmingham team naturally did not give up on defense.
This game is naturally very important for the Birmingham team, the game has been carried out at this juncture, and the Birminghames naturally do not want to lose, let alone accept being attacked by the opponent at the last moment and lose.
At this time, the players of the Birmingham team were highly concentrated, not allowing a moment to relax, defending tightly, and attacking frantically.
In fact, at this time, the physical strength of both sides is almost to the limit, and no matter how crazy the attack is at this time, it can't be crazy, and the speed of the attack is obviously much slower than before.
In the 30 minutes of extra time, Birmingham still had two chances to threaten the Aston Villa goal, Dongchen's header in the box and Sturridge's goal failed to break the Aston Villa goal.
And Aston Villa also got a good chance to counterattack, but unfortunately Ashley Young's legs were weak at the critical moment, and he didn't stop the ball, and the football rolled directly out of the bottom line.
In the end, neither side achieved anything in extra time, and the final battle ended up being a 2-2 draw.
At the end of extra time, it was still a draw, and the two sides finally had to go to the final and most brutal penalty shootout!
When referee Howard blew the whistle for the end of overtime, many players on both sides sat directly on the ground, this game was really too tired, they had no physical fitness, as soon as the whistle ended, they couldn't hold it and fell to the ground.
At this time, Dongfang Chen was naturally not much better, but he was still able to stand, he walked to the sidelines, because the referee McLeish was waving to him, Dongfang Chen did not dare to slack off, and immediately walked over.
Seeing Dongfang Chen walk in front of him, McLeish immediately said: "The table is good, very good!" Keep it up, and the next penalty shootout will be up to you! ”
Dongfang Chen immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss, we will go all out!" ”
"It's over, overtime is over! However, the two sides still did not decide the winner, and the two sides had to go to a brutal penalty shoot-out. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
At this time, the fans on both sides are very nervous and worried, this penalty shootout is very worrying, even relying on character and luck, whoever has a chance to win in this position, has a chance to lose, this is not easy to control.
Therefore, at this time, the fans on both sides were actually very nervous, some people had already turned around and did not dare to watch it anymore, and the atmosphere at the scene was very tense and exciting.
"Okay, the managers of both sides should have lined up the list of penalty kicks, and now the captains of both sides have been called aside by referee Howard, and it seems that they are going to pick sides." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
At this time, Dongfang Chen and Petrov stood in front of the referee Howard, Howard said: "Guess the heads and tails, guess the right to get the choice, and the choice can choose whether your side will play first or the opponent will serve first." The team that guesses incorrectly will be given the right to pick the edge, and you can specify which side of the goal to serve. Do you understand? ”
Dongfang Chen and Petrov immediately nodded and said, "I understand!" ”
Howard looked at Dongfang Chen and Petrov carefully and carefully, then nodded and said, "Positive and negative, please choose!" ”
Dongfang Chen and Petrov glanced at each other, Dongfang Chen stretched out his hand and motioned Petrov to guess first, Petrov was not polite, and said directly to Howard: "Positive!" ”
Howard and Dongfang Chen both nodded, and Howard immediately said to Dongfang Chen: "Then Dongfang Chen, you are the aspect." ”
Dongfang Chen immediately nodded and said, "Well, yes, I'm the opposite!" ”
Howard gave them a serious look and reconfirmed: "Aston Villa is on the front side, Birmingham is on the back side, right?" ”
Dongfang Chen and Petrov nodded immediately, and Dongfang Chen also said: "Yes, you are right. ”
Referee Howard nodded and said, "It's started!" ”
After speaking, Howard directly showed the coin in his hand to Dongfang Chen and Petrov, and then threw the coin into the sky with a sharp slam, the coin kept spinning and churning in the process of rising, and no one knew which side of the coin finally fell to the ground.
The coin paused slightly when it reached its apex, and then fell sharply, falling the turf, and the six eyes of the three men were glued to the coin on the ground, and the upward side was - the reverse side!
Seeing this, Dongfang Chen shouted in his heart: "Yes! Petrov, on the other hand, suddenly closed his eyes and sighed in his heart that he was unlucky.
Howard immediately leaned down and picked up the coins on the ground and said to Dongfang Chen and Petrov: "On the contrary, Dongfang Chen, you have the right to choose who will play first to take the penalty, and Petrov, you have the right to choose the goal to serve, have you made a good choice?" ”
In fact, most people think that it is less stressful to take the penalty first, because when you serve, no one puts pressure on you. If you serve later, the player in front of you will put a lot of pressure on you.
Therefore, at this time, Dongfang Chen thought for a while and said: "Let's take a penalty first!" ”
Petrov was not surprised by Dongfang Chen's choice, if it was him, he would have chosen to go to the penalty spot first.
Petrov looked at the goals on both sides and he felt that there was not much difference because behind both goals were Birmingham City fans. However, on one side of the right side of the goal is the stand where Aston Villa fans gather, so Petrov knew what to do, and he immediately said: "I choose the right goal. ”
Howard nodded and said, "Okay! Birmingham City start from penalty kick on the right side of the goal. Gather your teams and the penalty shootout will begin. ”
Dongfang Chen and Petrov both nodded to referee Howard, then turned to their team and greeted their teammates.
"The penalty shootout is about to start, the players on both sides are making the final preparations, we can see that the penalty should be the goal on the right side to be the main one, and the referee team is already in place." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
The fans at the scene were very nervous, and at this time they were taking deep breaths one after another to calm their hearts. To be honest, they were no worse than the players who were going to take penalties in the stadium and they were very, very nervous.
In fact, a lot of penalty shootouts are lucky, and of course, the most important point is that the time has come to test the psychological element.
The psychological element is very important for the players who serve the penalty kick, at this time, they must withstand the pressure, calm themselves, and face this qiē with a normal heart.
McLeish was very nervous at the moment, he was even more nervous than the players on the pitch, he kept pacing back and forth on the sidelines, if he could, he was like walking straight out of the pitch, not watching the penalty shootout, he was really nervous.
And Aston Villa's manager Martin O'Neill is no better, although he does not pace back and forth on the sidelines like McLeish, but he is very abnormal squatting on the sidelines, as if pooping, Martin O'Neill has never done this, which is enough to reflect his inner tension and uneasiness.
On the field, Dongfang Chen gathered his players together, and he motioned for the players to stand side by side and stand in a row, and they wanted to unite to complete the penalty shootout, which was not the strength of one person, but the strength of the team's unity.
The Birmingham players stood in a straight row with their hands on the waists of their left and right teammates, their heads held high, like a death squad about to charge.
The players of the Aston Villa team sat on the turf and sat in a row, and the styles of the two teams are really different.
At this time, Sky Sports commentators Andy Gray and Martin Taylor were also very nervous, and their voices had changed a little, and it could even be said that they were a little hoarse.
Andy Gray said: "The players from both sides came together in a united group, and they all showed their tenacity and perseverance, and it will be interesting to see who will have the last laugh in this penalty shoot-out." ”
Martin Taylor said at this time: "I really didn't expect this game to be played recently, in fact, in my opinion, Aston Villa should have finished the game in 90 minutes, and today Birmingham gave me a big surprise, they were very resilient, they were very resilient, they were able to equalise at the last minute, it was amazing. ”
Andy Gray also exclaimed: "Indeed, the Birmingham team gave us a big surprise, who would have thought that a promoted horse would have such a strong strength? They are definitely the biggest dark horses in the Premier League this season. ”
At this time, the players on both sides are ready, and the referees in the stadium are also ready, and the penalty shootout is imminent.
'Okay, the preparations are over, the players from both sides are ready to go and the penalty shoot-out is about to begin. Let's take a look at which team will be the first to step up and give a penalty. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
At this time, in the stadium, the fans on both sides were already nervous. Even some fans turned away and didn't dare to watch any more, they were really too nervous.
Of course, there are many elderly people in front of the TV who have been called off by their families, or they have turned off the TV in a panic, and they can't let them watch it anymore, for fear that their hearts can't bear it and there will be problems.
At this time, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared loudly: "Who is it? Who was the first to take the penalty spot? ”
Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor suddenly roared: "I see, I see, the first to come up is a player from the Birmingham team, and the first to take the penalty is a player from the Birmingham team. ”
At this time, the fans in the stadium naturally saw this, and they were nervous, their eyes were firmly fixed on the players who came out of the Birmingham team, and they cheered him on and cheered him on.
