Chapter 617 Penalty Shootout!

I saw Li Rui poke the football between Casillas' legs, then go around, push the empty goal, and hit the football in! !
Lineker yelled into the headset, almost hysterical, "Li Rui! Li Rui! Li Rui!!! He saved England!! He saved me! He saved you! He saved Mourinho saved everything!! 2:2!! We are still alive! The game has to go on! Because the champion is waiting for us!!”

Lineker roared so hoarsely that he almost lost his voice.However, he was very happy in his heart, very happy, so cool that he couldn't die! !

"This is Li Rui's 9th goal in this European Cup. He tied the 1984 European Cup in France, which was held by Michel Platini's record of scoring 9 goals in a single European Cup! Now, England Still alive, he still has the opportunity to create his own record, a new record for a single European Cup goal! Will this be a moment to witness history?"

As the commentator said, whether it is Li Rui scoring another goal or England being able to eliminate Spain and finally reach the final, this is a new history for Li Rui and the England team, and it is destined to set a new record. Into the history of the European Cup.

***********
"Li Rui! Li Rui! Li Rui!!"

The England fans in the stands were completely crazy. Everyone was hugging the people around them, whether they knew them or not. At this moment, cheering was the only reason!
It was really a narrow escape!
When Li Rui shot the football into the net, Mourinho had already raised his arms and began to cheer on the sidelines. The head coach of the Three Lions did not hide his inner ecstasy.
The English are cheering for the goal, while the Spaniard is a little dazed.

***********
Before England's attack, to be precise, before Li Rui broke into the penalty area, Aragones was still sitting comfortably on the chair, and the Spanish old man was trying his best to hide his excitement. He was ready and waiting With the whistle that ended the game 5 minutes later, celebrate the Spanish team's historic entry into the European Cup final.

However, Li Rui's goal stunned all the Spaniards, or it can be said that they were a little confused.

And the Spanish players on the field couldn't believe that all this was true. They looked at each other in blank dismay. It was only 5 minutes before the end of the game. They were already waiting for the whistle of the end of the game, cheering for victory. Goal scored at this time!

This huge gap in mentality made it difficult for Spanish players to adapt to it all at once. With a score of 2:1, they were still 5 minutes away from making history. Now that England scored a goal, the score became 2:2. But had to face possible overtime.

The shot is also given to Ernst.A close-up of Michel Platini on the rostrum of the Hapoel Stadium. The record of scoring 9 goals in a single European Cup created by the current UEFA president and former French superstar has been tied by Li Rui. As the creator of this 24-year-old record, what kind of expression will the current head of UEFA have?

***********
In the 85th minute of the game, Li Rui scored his 9th goal in this European Cup and also helped the England team equalize the score to 2:2. In a total of about seven or eight minutes, neither side was able to score a goal. When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the 8-minute game, Ernst.The score on the electronic scoreboard at Harpoll Stadium was still 90:2.
"90 minutes of the game is over, England 2:2 Spain, the two sides drew, and then, the game will enter 30 minutes of overtime, if the overtime is still tied, then the only way to score is through a penalty shootout Win or lose."

"The players will also take a short break and enter the overtime game. The game was actually dragged into overtime. It was indeed very intense. Now the physical strength of the players on both sides has dropped a lot. Overtime is also a test of the players' perseverance. showdown."

***********
Overtime is about to start, and the players are also replenishing water on the sidelines while listening to the head coach's tactical arrangements.

England has already used two substitutions, and now Mourinho still has one substitution in his hands. However, in Spain, none of the three substitutions in the hands of coach Aragones has been used.It also means that in overtime, Aragones has more options than Mourinho.

***********
Before the start of extra time, Spain made the first substitution adjustment of the game, Alonso came off the bench, he replaced Silva, Senna came off the bench, he replaced Cesc Fabregas.

Now there is only one substitution left in the hands of Aragones and Mourinho.

The overtime game was uneventful, and neither side had any good chances. On the one hand, it was because the game was so fierce that it was time for overtime. The physical fitness of the players on both sides was exhausted very quickly. The will is supporting it, and it is difficult for the players to make any wonderful moves or play wonderful cooperation.

Both Alonso and Senna, who came off the bench, did not show a good state, and the two did not seem to be able to quickly enter the game.Spain's offense did not pose much of a threat, but England's two counterattacks were quite threatening.

***********
In the 103rd minute, Beckham made a long pass from the right. After Li Rui stopped the ball with his chest, he passed the ball to Crouch with his arch. , and then knocked the football with his heel, and Walcott, who got the ball, advanced along the sidewalk at high speed. Near the baseline, an emergency stop gave way to Ramos' grab, and he kicked the football into the penalty area with his right foot.

In the penalty area, Crouch's height has a great advantage. He rushed ahead of Puyol and ferried the football to Li Rui. Li Rui took advantage of the opportunity to lift the football towards the goal. The knee pad shot was beautifully saved by Casillas.

Corner for England.

Beckham took the corner kick and Li Rui headed the goal over the bar.

***********
The overtime time passed quickly, and no one could break the opponent's goal. The game is about to reach 120 minutes, Ernst.The score on the electronic scoreboard at Harpoll Stadium was still England 2:2 Spain.

At this time, both Spain and England made substitutions. Both sides used the last substitution quota. Guisa and Owen came off the bench respectively. This is another penalty shooter for the 'penalty shootout'.

After receiving Senna's long pass, Torres padded his chest and gave the football pad to Villa who was plugged in. The latter didn't stop the ball, but just shot a volley and missed it.

Villa hadn't had time to annoy his shot. Ten seconds later, the Belgian referee Brickley blew three whistles, and he blew the whistle for the end of the 120-minute game.

***********
"The game is over! The game is over! 2:2! Spain and England are going to play a penalty kick!"

"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! This semi-final of the European Cup will be dragged to the final penalty shootout!" Lineker shouted, "May God bless England!"

It's no wonder that Lineker would say this, because in the European Cup or World Cup, every time a penalty shootout is needed to determine the outcome, the 'injured' are always the English.

"Whether it is the England fans or the Spanish supporters, they are very nervous and helpless at the moment, because no one wants to see the final game in such a cruel way, but the game must be won, and there is only one ticket for the final. open!"

"The most exciting moment has come. This is the second semi-final of the 13th European Cup. Spain VS England. The score is 2:2. The game will enter a penalty shootout! This is a competition of psychology and will! "

Indeed, as the commentator said, even if a goalkeeper takes a penalty kick, as a professional player, the national gate of the European giants, they have no problem kicking the football in. It can be said that during the penalty shootout, It's more of a competition of will and psychology between the two sides! !

***********
Li Rui lay on the ground with his ass on the ground. He was exhausted. This 120-minute game almost caused him leg cramps. After the Champions League final, Li Rui had almost no time to rest, so he went to the England team to concentrate. His physical fitness The condition is very poor.

Beckham came over and pulled Li Rui up, "It's not time for a break, there are still penalties."

Of course Li Rui knew that there was still a penalty kick. He took the water bottle from the captain's hand, took two gulps, poured it on his face, and didn't forget to wash his face.

Owen handed over a towel, Li Rui wiped his cheeks, and looked into the court.Whether it is the English players or the Spanish players, the expressions on their faces are tense.

***********
The camera also gave close-ups of the two goalkeepers.

Casillas took two sips of water and left the water bottle on the ground. He took the dry towel handed over by the goalkeeper coach and wiped his hands vigorously so as to keep the gloves dry.The goalkeeper coach was telling Casillas some details, and the Real Madrid star just nodded and muttered.

England goalkeeper James kept crossing his chest, praying for something, and the other England players didn't come up to bother him.

This kind of duel between the player and the goalkeeper is a great pressure for the free throw player who has gone through 120 minutes of hard work, and it is also a great psychological test for the goalkeeper.

***********
Mourinho is considering the penalty list for penalty kicks.

Mourinho is still hesitating about the last kicker and the first kicker. Li Rui and England captain Beckham will be the first or last to take the penalty kick. As for who is The first who is the last, Mourinho will also seek the opinions of the players themselves.

Li Rui discussed with Beckham, and the two told Mourinho of their decision. As the captain, Beckham was the first to take the penalty, and Li Rui would be the fifth free thrower.

***********
Soon, the list of penalty kicks from both sides was handed in. For England, the first penalty kick was captain Beckham, followed by Rooney, Walcott, Owen, and the last penalty was Lee. sharp.

In Spain, the first penalty shooter is Villa, he is the number one penalty shooter in Spain, and the next penalty shooters are Xavi, Iniesta, Guiza, Torres;

"The penalty shootout is about to start. This is the most tense moment of this European Cup."

It is indeed tense. Both the fans and the commentator can feel the suffocating feeling. At this time, the audience is very quiet, no one booing or making any noise. The atmosphere is tense and you can hear each other's heartbeats. Feel this tense and excited feeling.

***********
The result of guessing the coin was that Spain kicked first, which was a good thing for Li Rui and the England team, because the pressure of the first ball fell on Spain, to be precise, the pressure was all on the first goal. Villa who took the penalty kick.

Villa hugged the football and walked into the penalty area. The camera followed him all the time. Villa's expression was extremely solemn, which made the Spanish fans in front of the TV even more nervous.

James is in front of the goal, with his arms open, expanding the defensive area as much as possible.

The England team has fallen behind 12 yards several times. This time, England is only one step away from the final of the European Cup. This also makes England fans so excited, excited and hopeful, but also so nervous. Now, All England is watching James.

Pray for him, and pray for England.

The Spanish players were all standing in the middle circle, hugging each other and looking nervously at the goal ahead.

The England players put their shoulders together and stood in a row, cheering for their side.

After scoring the goal, Beckham shook his fist vigorously at the stands, which was a vent of great pressure.

"Kill beautiful, David! Our captain! Now the score is tied, Harvey walked to the penalty spot, it's up to James!"

Harvey made the cross on his chest and walked to the penalty spot. The whole court was so oppressive that it was almost breathless.

The referee Brickley looked at Harvey with his whistle in his mouth, meaning are you ready?

Harvey took a deep breath and nodded, meaning ready.
