Chapter 91 Point Kill
The overtime time is 15 minutes. Although it is not long, after an hour of fierce battle, this short quarter of an hour will become quite long, because it is a double test of physiology and psychology, and it is a terrifying torment. When a game comes to overtime, basic elements such as skills, tactics, transmission and control, and background will retreat to a secondary position, and the competition is often the spiritual will.
Perhaps the two goals at the last moment scared the players on both sides. Everyone became conservative and no longer dared to take risks. If they lost the ball again, they would be terrible. As the referee's ending whistle sounded, the players on both sides took a heavy breath as if they were signaled to be relieved, and they collapsed on the court. They wanted to have a bed and sleep immediately, without thinking about anything.
Seeing the players lying down exhausted, Mo Huaqiang felt very distressed. It was not easy to get to this moment, especially when he successfully equalized the score under huge pressure during the countdown, which really forced Xincheng, a favorite to win the championship, into a desperate situation. No matter what the final result was, he could accept it calmly.
At this moment, he was unwilling to say too much, but the extra words just put pressure on the players. At such moments, they could freely play and go to the position to enjoy this rare penalty shootout time, which was better than anything else. Seeing the Xincheng coach on the other side scolding the dejected player, Mo Hua looked at him without hesitation, then turned to the players and explained that the order of the five penalty shooters was Xu Te, Chen Qi, Liu Kehu, Li Weizhen and Xie Zhan, and there was no other request.
The nine-a-side penalty kick method is the same as the eleven-a-side system. Five people are selected to take the penalty. After five rounds of penalty kicks, those who score more goals will win. If the winner is still not decided, one round will be added until the winner is decided.
After a brief rest, the penalty kick was soon started. During the coin guessing session of the captains of both sides, Qiu Li lost to Ruan Pei, and Xincheng team got the right to first penalty. The penalty kick was a battle between the penalty kicker and the goalkeeper, fighting wits and courage. The party who was often punishing first was more psychologically superior and putting more pressure on the goalkeeper to defend the goalkeeper.
In addition to the goalkeeper, eight players from both sides were in a row and stood on the midfield line, with teammates standing on each other's shoulders. These were the players who were waiting to go to the free throw. On the surface, everyone pretended to be relaxed and talked and laughed, but in fact they were already in a storm.
The referee signaled that he could start taking the penalty, Qiu Li walked from near the corner flag to the goal, and Ouo Yang Yihai walked from the New City team to the penalty point. The first player to take the penalty kick plays a very important role. Whether the ball entered or not really affected the team's overall confidence, so the first player to go up was the player with the best footwork and psychological quality in the team.
As soon as he heard the whistle, Ouyang Yihai did not hesitate. He ran up and swung the ball. The ball was strong and he penetrated directly from the upper left corner of the goal. Qiu Li couldn't save it.
Xincheng team won the championship with a 1:0 lead, with a total score of 2:1.
It was Yucheng's turn to take the penalty. Xu Te Ningqi observed the goalkeeper of Xincheng. Shi's right foot retracted inward and his body leaned slightly to the left. All these efforts successfully deceived the opponent. At the moment of touching the ball, his right foot suddenly turned outward, and the ball rolled straight into the right side of the goal.
Yucheng team did not miss, and after the first round, there was still a anxious draw, with a penalty of 1:1 and a total score of 2:2.
In the second round of penalty, another striker of Xincheng team came out. Perhaps he had been by the big brand Ouyang Yhai for a long time, and his self-feeling was a bit good, and his backing movements were a bit harsh, but he was just a show of it, but he didn't have the domineering aura on Ouyang. Qiu Li stared at his feet, looking at his extremely brave sprinting look, and was also a right-footed player. It seemed that he was also a brainless and rough man throughout the game. He was definitely his first choice. He was a quick analysis inside. Will he imitate his partner's shooting method? Qiu Li didn't hesitate too much and was determined to take a gamble. At the moment when he shot, his body used all his strength to fly to the right.
What? I hit it! The death of Xincheng team is as quiet as it dies, while the Yucheng team cheers and encourages her. She is happy like a child who has obtained a good grade and gets the toy he has always dreamed of. Chen Qi did not miss the game and successfully scored the second penalty for the team.
After the second round, Yucheng led 2:1, with a total score of 3:2, and the balance of victory began to tilt.
The third player in Xincheng team was their midfielder Wu Qizheng. In the penalty kick, the first and third players were relatively important. The first person had a little bit of stability in morale and accumulated confidence. Then the third person took countermeasures based on the previous situation. The leading one should further expand the advantage, and the lagging one should try their best to remedy it. It is obvious that the New City team, who lost one free throw, has come to the edge of the cliff, and Wu Qizheng cannot lose this goal again.
Wu Qizheng withstood a lot of pressure and sent the ball into the ball. Liu Kehu, who appeared in the Yucheng team, pushed the middle lane and was waited by the indifferent goalkeeper. Both sides returned to the same starting line again, which made the New City players who saw hope very excited.
After the third round, the two sides once again tied, with a penalty of 2:2 and a total score of 3:3.
In the following two rounds, Wei Dashuang of Xincheng, Ruan Pei, Li Weizhen of Yucheng and Xie Zhan were all shot perfectly. After five rounds of penalty kicks, both sides still couldn't decide the outcome, so they could only continue to take the penalty according to the procedures.
According to the order of personnel submitted before the free throw, the sixth appearance of the Yucheng team will be Lu Long. When Mo Huaqiang arranged the penalty personnel, he mainly considered the top five. For the players who played after the top five, he did not think about it carefully, and felt that it would not be necessary to reach this point. After thinking about it, he filled in Lu Long's name. Lu Long's shooting power is strong, but his performance is unstable, and his accuracy needs to be improved. At this critical moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to make any sense. If he had known that offensive players like Su Keqi, Zhang Guangliang, and Zheng Dakai should have a greater grasp.
But now that things have come to this point, the arrow has to be fired on the string, and he has to bite the bullet and can only push it up. A shadow is faintly covered in Mo Huaqiang's heart.
The sixth player in Xincheng team was actually their goalkeeper. After seeing the opponent's coach, he should have wanted to take a different approach and use the goalkeeper to understand the psychological advantages of similar types. However, this is a double-edged sword in itself. Xincheng goalkeeper understands Qiu Li's way of saving, and Qiu Li of course also understands the goalkeeper's shooting habits.
The goalkeeper's feet are generally not as good as the goalkeeper's players, so their shots are often mainly aimed at hitting the ball hard, but considering that the goalkeeper is most afraid of snatching the ball, once it is pushed within the range of the goal frame, it is basically an unsolvable shot; whether to shoot vigorously or push two posts, Qiu Li was observing the opponent's movements while doing multiple-choice questions in his heart.
Qiu Li finally chose to focus most of his energy on the middle lane, believing that the opponent should choose to push the middle in a stable position; after the ball was shot, both goalkeepers laughed, but the goalkeeper in the new city smiled, while Qiu Li smiled bitterly, and the ball pushed straight to the post on the left.
However, the smile of the New City goalkeeper quickly solidified, and the ball was pushed out had the power, but it was not accurate. With a "draft", the ball hit the post and bounced back into the field, and this sound also smashed the New City players' eager expectations.
Qiu Li clenched his fists and shouted loudly, shouting out all the unhappiness he had accumulated in his heart. His teammates happily hugged them. This time, the balance of victory fell to them again, and it was more beneficial than last time. Once they grasped it, it would directly end the championship suspense.
The ball that bounced back sarcastically rolled back to the penalty spot. The angry goalkeeper of New City, full of hatred, swept the ball to the middle of the goal with a big foot. Qiu Li was startled in the celebration. He almost ate a ball cake when he couldn't dodge. Fortunately, he could only raise the ball with his left hand and beat it away. Qiu Li rushed towards the other party in anger, wanting to ask why he did this. The goalkeeper with a feverish head was already red in his eyes. Seeing Qiu Li rushing towards the theory, he didn't dodge and pushed it directly. Qiu Li fell to the ground smartly and shouted loudly, which seemed very painful.
This sudden scene scared everyone and completely ended the championship suspense. The New City goalkeeper who was in trouble was sent off by the referee's red card and temporarily replaced the substitute goalkeeper. The No. 2 goalkeeper who did not get a warm-up was so nervous. Lu Long drove his full force and kicked the goalkeeper in the middle. The goalkeeper reached out to block his face in panic, and there was also obvious evasion on his head. The ball hit the lower end of the crossbar, and then bounced into the goal forcefully.
The final whistle from the referee that had been missing for a long time finally rang out. The dark horse Yucheng won a penalty of 5:4 and eliminated Nanning New City with a total score of 6:5, successfully crowned the Guangxi Divisional Championship of the first "Qihang Cup" Junior High School Football Competition.
