When He Ying ran to the ball in the dead corner of the lower left corner, but was saved by Cesar, the Chinese players standing near the center circle hugged their heads, looking very regretful and surprised.

The Brazilian player next to them breathed a sigh of relief and cheered.

When William missed the football, their performance was the same as that of the current Chinese players.

The third Brazilian appearance next was Marcelo, who kicked the football to the right. This time Sun Pan judged the right direction, but Marcelo's shooting power was too great. Although he judged the right direction, he was still a bit short of saving speed. In the end, the football flew into the goal in front of his fingertips!

"Oh, Sun Pan judged the right direction of the ball, but failed to save it... Now the Chinese team is behind 1:2 in the penalty score..." He Ping felt sorry for Sun Pan's save.

Sun Pan felt even more regretful. He fell to the ground and beat the grass hard. Behind him were the cheers of Brazilian fans, mixed with ridicule at him.

He lowered his head and left the goal, Cesar passed by him and occupied the goal.

It's the Chinese team's turn to take the penalty kick.

Wu Lei, the third Chinese team's free thrower, trotted up and prepared to play this penalty.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV held their breath and looked at the TV screen nervously.

Wu Lei, with hundreds of millions of eyes, put the football on his back, then retreated, waiting for the signal sent by the referee.

The whistle sounded!

Wu Lei assisted and then played football!

But when the football flew towards the goal, a very bad idea came to He Pingdi's heart - Wu Lei did not kick the ball to the lower left corner, nor to the lower right corner. Instead, a half-high ball to Cesar's right... This is the goalkeeper's favorite ball to save!

Sure enough, Cesar rushed to the right and blocked the football shot from Wu Lei with both hands!

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" The Brazilian narrator screamed and cheered desperately, "Cesar! Cesar!! He saved two consecutive penalty kicks from the Chinese team!!"

Thunderous cheers and applause rang out throughout the Minero Stadium.

After successfully making two consecutive saves, Cesar got up from the ground and patted himself hard on the chest. This was a sign of confidence in the goalkeeper.

Brazilians are carnival, while Chinese are sad.

Wu Lei, who lost the penalty kick, lowered his head and covered his face with both hands. When he needed him to stand up the most, he failed to withstand the pressure.

He Ying lost a penalty before, which obviously had a great impact on his emotions, so hesitated and actually kicked a goalkeeper's favorite angle...

If the Chinese team is eliminated, he will definitely become the sinner of Chinese football and be scolded by fans across the country...

When Wu Lei thought of this future, he was a little trembling.

He didn't even know how he walked back into the team. It was not until everyone came over to pat his shoulders and head and comforted him that he realized that he was already among his teammates.

※※※

Brazil's fourth free thrower was Hulk. Wu Lei missed a penalty kick, which made him feel much less pressure. When he walked towards the penalty kick, it looked very relaxed.

After the football was put on, the referee whistle and he started running.

Unlike other teammates who made big strides to assist, Hulk ran forward in a short stroll, while running while observing Sun Pan's movements.

But Sun Pan stood in front of the door, motionless, and could not tell where he was going to pounce.

This made Hulk feel a little panicked. He originally planned to see Sun Pan's movements and then decide where to kick the football. However, Sun Pan couldn't move now, and he didn't know where to kick... Although he was running in small steps and was not fast, he always had to run to the end. Soon he came to the football and had to shoot.

In a daze, Hulk's last thought was - forget it, just shoot the football into the middle! The kid rushed out the first three penalty kicks to the side and never stayed in the middle!

So Hulk shot low and knocked the ball into the middle.

When Sun Pan was kicking up, his body did fall to the right, but he soon saw that the football was flying towards the position where he was standing, so he gave up his plan to jump out, tilted his body to the right, but his legs were dragged behind.

When Hulk's penalty kick flew over, he happened to bump into Sun Pan's foot and was kicked out by Sun Pan!

"Sun Pan--!!!!" He Ping stood up and shouted. "Sun Pan! At this critical moment, he saved Hulk's penalty! This save is too critical! It is too important!"

The entire Minero Stadium gave a burst of exclamation and sigh when Hulk failed to score a penalty.

In this voice, Sun Pan climbed up from the ground, turned around and looked at the Brazilian fans in the stands behind him, holding their heads with their hands, pulled up the Chinese flag on their chests and pointed it out to them.

He finally waited for revenge and used the method a goalkeeper was good at.

When Sun Pan saved Hulk's penalty, the Chinese team also cheered. Wu Lei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, as long as Yang Muge, who is the fourth player, can kick the ball in, the Chinese team will tie with Brazil again in terms of the total score. Both sides can return to the same starting line.

Some people have turned their attention to Yang Muge, but they dare not say anything to Yang Muge, for fear of putting pressure on him.

When Yang Muge was about to walk forward to take the penalty, Zhou Yi called him behind him: "Old Yang, a thousand pounds of burden is on your shoulders."

He smiled and said to Yang Muge that as soon as he said this, he was startled by other Chinese players - at this time, shouldn't we try to avoid reminding Yang Muge of the pressure? Shouldn't we try to downplay the difficulties and crisis of the situation? Why doesn't Zhou Yi bring up any pots?

After listening to Zhou Yi's words, Yang Muge did not change any expression on his face. He nodded calmly, then turned around and walked forward.

This scene fell in the eyes of some Chinese players, and I only felt that Yang Muge must have been nervous by Zhou Yi and could not even say the nervous words.

But looking at Zhou Yi again, he still looked smiling, and seemed to have no idea that he had done something wrong just now.

"The fourth free throw player in the Chinese team is Yang Muge, who plays for Schalke 04 and plays as a midfielder. He is not a player who is good at scoring goals. He only scored one goal in Schalke 04 and has never recorded a penalty kick..." The Brazilian commentator introduced Yang Muge to Brazilian fans. Judging from the information in his hands, Yang Muge is not the kind of player who is sure to get the penalty kick in. He doesn't even understand why Lippi arranged Yang Muge to give the penalty kick, and he was arranged to play in the fourth place.

You should know that the fourth round of the penalty shootout is a very critical watershed. Many players have missed this, and many teams have stopped here, and they have not even ended up shooting penalty kicks in the fifth round.

In ESPN statistics, forward players and defenders have the highest penalty shooting percentage, with the former being 83%, the latter being 74%, and the midfielder being only 71%.

Cesar has saved the Chinese team's penalty kick twice in a row. He is in good shape now. He will definitely have a psychological advantage when facing a newcomer who has never played a penalty kick before.

As long as he can save Yang Muge's penalty, his advantage will return to the Brazilian team, and the pressure will be transferred to the Chinese team...

Just as the Brazilian TV receiver was chattering and introducing Yang Muge, Yang Muge had already set up the football. He took two steps back and turned to look at the referee Weber.

Cesar made an interference in front of him, and he waved his arms, but Yang Muge didn't even look at these.

"If Yang Muge can score this penalty, then we will tie the Brazilian team in the score..." He Ping said with a very light voice and his tone was not very firm.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Weber's whistle.

A crisp whistle sounded over the Minero Stadium. Yang Muge was like a 100-meter athlete. At the moment the whistle sounded, he started running.

After two steps, he ran behind the football, then swung his right leg and kicked the football.

Cesar's body shook for a moment and made a move to save.

The ball weighing Yang Muge took off into the air and was like a cannonball, hitting the ball at the goal. The speed was so fast that when the ball flew into the goal, Cesarte's save had not yet been done, his body only shook for a moment, and then he watched the ball fly into his goal, and was powerless.

"Yang Muge! Good! Good! Withstand the pressure and scored cleanly!" He Ping cheered loudly. "The Chinese team has tied 2:2 in the total penalty score!"

Yang Muge did not celebrate after scoring the goal, but just turned around silently and walked back. Only the smile on his face revealed his inner joy.

In ESPN statistics, midfielders' shooting percentages are indeed the lowest, but in terms of shooting percentages of the fourth penalty, midfielders' stability is better than forwards and defenders.

I believe that it will not disappoint if a midfielder who does not give up easily and is good at pestering his own defence in taking the penalty kick, even if he has not had a successful free throw record before?

This is why Lippi arranged for Yang Muge to take the fourth penalty kick.
Chapter completed!
