Chapter 372 Penalty Kick

The referee grasped the principle of favorable offense and raised his hand to indicate that the game should continue.

Van der Meyde was dumbfounded now. How could he chase after him? He couldn't even catch the ashes behind him.

"Stop him, you must stop him!" Dutch team coach Marwijk almost shouted and broke his leg to stop him.

Van der Wiel came up to Li Yu and gave him a push. This was not a proper football movement, more like a rugby ball.

Li Yu stumbled twice, trying hard not to fall.

Why didn't he fall down? Van der Wiel came up just to commit a foul. He never thought that it would be so difficult to commit a foul. He ran two steps quickly and stretched out his legs to trip Li Yu.

This time Li Yu could no longer adjust and fell to the grass.

The referee's whistle finally sounded.

Two yellow cards were given, one for each of Van der Meyde and Van der Wiel.

The free kick, 29 meters away from the goal, was completely within Li Yu's shooting range.

"Li Yu's outburst made the Dutch team pay a heavy price. Two yellow cards, two yellow cards for one breakthrough. Li Yu's more visits are really enough for the Dutch team, but there are too few opportunities like this today!"

"However, the current free kick is a good opportunity. The Netherlands tried their best to foul, but still left Li Yu a chance. The Dutch wanted to foul just after passing the midfield, but Li Yusheng advanced the position to

There is a threat 29 meters in front of the goal, just look at how accurate Li Yu's shot is!"

Dutch national goalkeeper Stekelenborg loudly ordered the Dutch players to form a human wall. If you touch a little bit here, you must block it somewhere.

The referee asked the Dutchmen to retreat to 9.15 meters, but it took a lot of effort. He kept nagging and asked them to take two steps back, and even one step back was considered good.

The Dutch finally saw that the referee was interested in playing cards, so he honestly retreated to his position.

That's it, taking advantage of the referee's distraction, stealing two steps is two steps.

Li Yu didn't complain about the wall. The distance was not so critical. What was important was the angle, the shooting angle. He was thinking more about where to shoot.

Is it the side blocked by the wall or the side guarded by the goalkeeper?

Li Yu rarely chose a long approach this time. Like Ronaldo, he stood still and waited for the referee's whistle. He took a few deep breaths and looked up at the angle he wanted. When the whistle sounded, people

move!

"A powerful free kick, or an elevator kick! He moved, swung his right foot and shot!"

"The football is kicked very high. It's an elevator ball. It's going to fall! That's right. Come down a little more!"

When Li Yu shot the ball, he already had a feeling that the goal was definitely scored.

As soon as the football was released, Li Yu had already lifted it up.

When Dutch national goalkeeper Stekelenberg discovered the football, it was too late. The ball hung directly on the net in the upper right corner. He didn't even move or react at all.

"Yeah!" Li Yu roared and jumped up high, announcing the goal.

"It's so beautiful. The 9th goal, Li Yu's ninth goal in the World Cup, equalized the score for China and Hong Kong. The most classic free kick. The two teams returned to the same starting line. Li Yu turned the situation around for us again.

!”

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

Without any confidence, this sound can make people cry out for hypoxia!

Su Dongke didn't care whether he was suffering from lack of oxygen or not, he would just scream as much as he wanted.

"Li Yu used all kinds of shooting methods in this World Cup. He is such an all-round player and a top stadium killer. I can't describe Li Yu anymore. I think it is more appropriate to call him the king of goals. The king among shooters, no one."

I don’t dare to say that even if I’m participating in the World Cup!”

"Now I can say that Li Yu is fully qualified to be the king. It is only a matter of time before he breaks the previous scoring record!"

"There is no team that can provide strong support that can do this. It is not the king of the ball or something. In modern football, who can do what Li Yu is like!"

It’s really nothing to shout about, now is the time to praise and encourage, and of course the commentator will not begrudge these.

1:1!

Eriksson looked at the score and finally felt more at ease. The tactics could return to the beginning of the second half, and the gambling was about to begin again.

The Swedes really lamented that if Li Yu had switched to the opposite team, the game might not have been suspense at all. Fortunately, Li Yu was not an enemy, but a player under his own account.

He was also a famous coach who coached a club before. He could imagine what Li Yu could bring to a good club.

If he still wants to coach the club, his first signing must be Li Yu. It is so effective. Even if he sells a few key players, as long as he can get Li Yu, everything will be worth it.

Li Yu did not celebrate grandly. He ran back to accept congratulations from his teammates and at the same time warned the players to return to defense.

Dutch coach Marwijk had foreseen that the game would be difficult, but he still did not expect that China Hong Kong would equalize so quickly. It seemed that the winner could not be decided in 90 minutes.

Li Yu's outburst made Malwijk somewhat vigilantly send out another gesture with another meaning. He kept pressing down to signal the Dutch players on the field to be steady.

"At the beginning of the game, after both teams scored one goal each, they became conservative again. China Hong Kong wanted the Dutch team to attack, but the Dutch team took their time to reverse the attack and mobilized China Hong Kong's defense.

Eager to attack!"

"The situation is not much different from the first half, it's just that the two have changed the gameplay!"

"It seems that both teams are afraid of accidents, so they all choose a safer way of playing!"

This game felt like it was going straight to overtime.

Sure enough, neither team broke the deadlock within 90 minutes and entered overtime 1:1.

You can't go back to the locker room. After a short rest on the sidelines, the two teams will soon play overtime.

"What tactics and style of play will Eriksson deploy in overtime? If it continues to be used up, it will be detrimental to the China Hong Kong team. You must know that we have never seen the China Hong Kong team train for penalty kicks. There is no specialized

After training, can we win?"

"But what kind of changes can the China Hong Kong team make? Eriksen has actually changed, but the Dutch are not fooled at all, which makes people very helpless, but there is no way, there is still a gap in strength, and they are exhausted

Starting from the beginning, I also have the confidence to consume you. The China Hong Kong team has been forced into a last-ditch overtime. Let’s see if Li Yu can stand up again in the desperate situation. Although he has done enough, we still need an explosion now!

"

The commentator said that he spent a long time expressing his opinions.

The Dutch, however, would not have everyone expecting their strategy in extra time.

At the beginning of the first half of the overtime, the Dutch actually played a ball-possession game. If you don't grab it, I won't get the ball. They forced China and Hong Kong to come out. If they didn't come out, the Netherlands didn't worry, and they still controlled the ball safely with their feet.

The purpose of delaying time is obvious.

The most helpless way of playing, the Chinese fans in the stands continued to express their dissatisfaction with the Dutch team by booing.

Utilitarianism cannot be like this, negative competition?

"I have to say that the Dutch team was suspected of playing passively in overtime, but China and Hong Kong didn't have any good solutions. It seems that we are also cooperating with the Dutch to play passively!"

"Is this game destined to be a penalty shootout?"

Li Yu looked anxiously at the situation on the field. He really wanted to do something. Trying to grab the ball in the frontcourt by himself was a complete waste of energy. Without teammates to cooperate, Li Yu felt more like being surrounded by the Dutch.

Played the monkey game that can often be seen during training.

As time passed, Li Yu became more and more impatient. The feeling that he had no place to use his energy almost drove Li Yu crazy. This was the first time that Li Yu felt like this in a competition.

An extremely fierce tackle, Li Yu was venting his anger and doing his best.

Heitinga passed the ball out in a hurry, screamed, and kept rolling on the grass with his hands covering his legs.

"Oh my god! Why did Li Yu release the shovel?"

"It's so painful! You can't play cards! We all know what the result of this action will be. Just don't get a straight red card!"

The referee did not hesitate to show a yellow card and warned Li Yu for his tackle.

"Fortunately, it's a yellow card. I hope this penalty can make Li Yu calm down. The China Hong Kong team can lack anyone, but the only thing that cannot be missing is Li Yu. He is the spiritual pillar on the field. The next step is likely to be a penalty shootout.

We also need Li Yu to stabilize the morale of the army!"

The ominous feeling before became clearer and clearer. Every time Li Yu played, he tried his best to win a possible victory. There had never been such a game before. He didn't know where to direct his energy, and there was still an ominous feeling surrounding him.

The first half of overtime ended, and the players from the two teams immediately changed sides and immediately began the second half of overtime.

This may be the most boring game in the World Cup so far. Both teams are very conservative, even the offense is conservative.

The head coach of the Dutch team, Marwijk, is using a skill that has never been seen in Dutch football to chase the final qualification for the semi-finals.

However, China Hong Kong was a little helpless. Limited by its own strength, it was frustrated by the attrition tactics used by its opponents. It had nowhere to use its strength and could not find any points even if it tried hard.

At this point in the game, many neutral fans have already given up on the game.

The fans who support the two teams just want a result, who will advance in the end, and are still watching the game.

In the last 15 minutes, Li Yu wanted to do something, even if it was to make a desperate breakthrough.

The Dutch didn't let Li Yu get the ball once in 15 minutes. He spent most of the time at the Dutch team's feet. The Chinese Hong Kong team got the ball and a long pass was also destroyed by the Dutch.

That’s not right! It didn’t reach the point at all!

Li Yu felt worse and worse, and he began to panic. It seemed that what was waiting for him was not a penalty shootout, but a doomed tragic farewell.

Silently sighing in his heart, he has tried his best. Many things will not have the best ending if they try their best. Football happens to be such a thing. It is never one person who can decide the ownership of the final World Cup. The final owner must

It's a great team with a few stars who perform perfectly.

Li Yu had never felt so tired for a moment. It was because his heart was tired. This heart carried so many expectations and so many people's good wishes.

Now that I have found myself powerless, all the pressure I have been feeling has surged into my heart. Will this be the end of my World Cup?

Before facing the penalty shootout, Li Yu thought a lot, and his whole person felt different. Li Yu felt so helpless just now, but now he has become so frustrated, and he looks very tired.

I feel so tired inside and out.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the 120-minute match, the image of Li Yu holding her hands on her knees and gasping for air immediately spread throughout the world.

Immediately, Li Yu's running data also appeared at the bottom of the TV screen, 18,000 meters running!

Oh my God! No one would have thought that Li Yu ran so much in such a dull game?

Many people want to say to Li Yu, "Look up, we know you have tried your best!"

"No matter what the final outcome is, we can't say anything about Li Yu. He has already contributed his greatest strength!"

"Yes! Don't be so pessimistic. Isn't there still a penalty shootout?"

Even when the commentator saw Li Yu's performance and said it, I felt that he was not confident enough.

Eriksen didn't want the players to read his true thoughts. As before, he focused on arranging the penalty kick.

At No. 1, Eriksen wrote Li Yu's name without hesitation.

There was no one else to write, so I apologized silently in my heart. This pressure must be put on Li Yu!

In fact, the Swedish old man noticed something strange about Li Yu, so he had a good premonition, but what he had to complete and what he had to explain must be completed by a man.

When he heard the assistant coach calling his name, Li Yu raised his head and looked at the goal where the penalty kick was about to take place for a long time.

"The Chinese Hong Kong team took the first free throw, and Li Yu took the first penalty. A goal that stabilizes the morale of the army, come on!"

The penalty kick contest is about to begin, and the most tense moment has arrived. One kick affects the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, and one kick determines the fate of a team.

In the TV footage, many Chinese fans covered their faces and did not dare to watch the penalty shootout. They were too nervous.

Even the Dutch goalkeeper Stekelenberg looked so nervous in the TV cameras.

Keep rubbing your hands and take deep breaths!

Yes, everyone involved in the penalty shootout has a hard time.

Especially the goalkeepers of the two teams and the players who will take the penalty kick.

Holding the ball, Li Yu was the first to come.

In the camera, he got up quite calmly, put down the ball, and took two steps back. During the whole process, Li Yu did not raise his head and kept his head down, so that the camera could not capture his exact expression.

As soon as the whistle blew, Li Yu looked up, with a determined look on his face, accelerated, and shot.

Full of power, he doesn't care about angles, he wins with strength alone, and he still shoots towards the middle.

Stekelenberg's prediction was wrong, and the Dutch goalkeeper, who moved ahead to save the ball, could only watch the ball and sigh. He had no choice.

"It's in, Li Yu is in! He withstood the pressure and made no mistakes. To be honest, when I saw the ball shot towards the center, I was a little shocked. Fortunately, it went in, it went in!"

"It's the Dutch players' turn to play, and the first one is Robben! Judging from his expression, he is not relaxed. Even though he is facing the little-known goalkeeper Fan Junye of the China Hong Kong team, Robben is still under a lot of pressure!"

"Haha, Robben kicked the ball high and it flew away. He already knew the result after finishing the shot. He put his hands on his head and looked confused and lonely!"

"The one-goal lead turned out to be the China Hong Kong team, and we were ahead by a penalty kick! Great, really great!"

The second penalty kicker of the China Hong Kong team is Kong Ka!

"It went in, it went in, it was still in the middle. Stekelenberg must not have thought that we still chose the middle for the second shot. It was still the same as the first goal. Stekelenberg, who moved early, could only watch the ball go into the net.

Got it!"

"Haha, 2:0! If the second Dutch player misses another penalty, we will be two goals ahead, and all the pressure will shift to the Dutch side. Sometimes it is important to use some psychological tactics when taking penalty kicks.

Yes, what style of play will our players use next?"

The second Dutch player to take the penalty was Sneijder. He did not let the ball go away and directly sent the ball into the upper left corner.

"In the unsolvable area, Sneijder's heart is really strong, the ball scored, 2:1! We are one goal ahead, look at the performance of the third player!"

Naturalized player Roberto walks towards the penalty spot, a defensive midfielder, and I don’t know what his footwork will be like.

The ball hit the threshold. Accompanied by the lamentations of the Chinese fans in the audience, the ball bounced out and missed!

"It doesn't matter. One team misses one free throw. We take the penalty first. If the Dutch players below miss a free throw, we will still be in the lead!"

The third Dutch player is Van Persie. Look at this guy, the commentator just seemed to be comforting himself.

The goal was simple and beautiful. It was also a powerful shot from the center. The ball went in, 2:2!

It's a tie again, a damn tie again!

At the most critical moment, the Chinese fans discovered that all the trustworthy people had taken the penalty, who could still kick the ball!

At least the Netherlands still has a penalty kick master, Kuyt!

What about us! God knows!

In fact, the fans knew the list before the penalty kick started, but by the fourth goal, everyone started to get nervous. Hong Kong Island forward Chan Siu Kei was the last player to be replaced to prepare for the penalty kick.

Li Yu silently watched Chen Zhaoqi walk towards the penalty spot, feeling heavy, yes, the kind of weight that could be felt.

Li Yu lowered his head and prayed in his heart, but when he heard the sound of regret from the audience, he knew the final result even without looking.

The ball was kicked away!

China Hong Kong team is falling behind!

Kuyt made the deficit a reality and scored with a kick.

You can imagine the pressure on the last player. Now everyone has a question, why Li Yu was not the last one to take the penalty.
