Chapter 396 Penalty Shootout(1/2)
Fans on both sides were waiting anxiously because a cruel penalty shootout was about to usher in.
Among them, the Croatian fans looked very ugly. They had hope to defeat the Chinese team in regular time.
But before they knew it, they had a penalty shootout, and this psychological gap made them feel uneasy.
In fact, Chinese fans are not that happy either. Modric's previous spoon penalty kick may have affected Shan Wei's mentality.
Moreover, the average age of the Croatian team is older and their experience is richer.
The Chinese team is still too young after all, and the captain Lu Yunlong is only 24 years old.
The head coaches of both sides kept saying that not only arranged the next penalty kick, but also encouraged the morale of the team.
Although the Chinese team is young and inexperienced, they are still optimistic.
They were about to lose, but Wang Yuanjie forced his way into overtime.
The Chinese team has actually made a profit by being able to play a penalty shootout.
At this time, Yan Junling was beside Shan Wei, holding Shan Wei's shoulders and constantly telling.
Tell Shan Wei some of his experience that this is the only thing he can do now.
Although Yan Junling has never played in the World Cup, this is his first time.
But he is older after all, Shan Wei listens seriously.
At this time, many people in the Chinese team were worried about Shan Wei. After Modric scored a spoon penalty, Shan Wei's face looked very ugly.
Even members of the coaching staff were thinking that they should replace the Yiwei.
The captains of both sides came to the referee group and decided on the penalty kick and who would first pass the penalty kick by throwing a coin.
In the end, the Huaxia team took the lead in the penalty kick, and at this time Lu Yunlong felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
The pressure has never been so great that Lu Yunlong has worked very hard.
Lu Yunlong slowly walked towards the penalty spot, while Croatia's goalkeeper Subashici was already standing in front of the goal.
Lu Yunlong retreated two steps, while Subashic bounced back and forth.
Then Lu Yunlong started running, Subashic opened his eyes wide and lowered his shoulders.
Lu Yunlong went to the left, but what he didn't expect was that Subashic actually rushed here as well.
At this moment, Lu Yunlong seemed to have his heart stopped, and Subashic saved the football!
The captain of the Chinese team, Lu Yunlong, actually lost some!
The fans of Croatia cheered loudly at the scene, while the Chinese fans looked at the stadium incredibly.
The one who lost the point was Lu Yunlong, which they never thought of.
Lu Yunlong has always been the most trustworthy player in China. Lu Yunlong stood there with his waist in his waist.
His mood is very complicated at this moment, and his despair and loss are more of self-blame.
He is not only the first player to take the penalty, but also the captain of the Chinese team.
Next, it was Croatia's turn, and the first person to take the penalty was midfielder Brozovic.
He took the football to the penalty spot and put it down.
China's goalkeeper Shan Wei stood in front of the goal and licked his upper lip.
He didn't seem so nervous, but instead smiled a little.
Under the gaze of countless fans, Brozovic began to slowly retreat.
Shan Wei breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his shoulders, and Brozovic began to run and serve.
He turned the ball to the upper left corner, and Shan Wei rushed to the wrong direction.
Croatia leads China 1-0!
At this time, many Chinese fans were already desperate. Could it be that the Chinese team was about to stop there?
Shan Wei stood up and left the goal, and he looked down at the ground.
The second penalty for the Chinese team was midfielder Zhou Yuan. At this time, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Yuan looked very serious.
He knew that he had to score the penalty, otherwise the Chinese team might really lose.
You can't rely on Shan Wei to save all the penalty kicks. This possibility is still too low after all.
Zhou Yuan started running and then kicked on football, and the penalty kick was very powerful.
The football flew rapidly to the upper right corner of the goal, although this time Croatian goalkeeper Subashic once again saved the right direction.
However, Subashic could not save at this ball speed and angle.
Just when Zhou Yuan thought that this ball had come in, he only heard a "dou" sound.
The football actually hit the post hard and then bounced out.
The Chinese team lost all two consecutive penalty kicks!
Zhou Yuan held his head in despair, as if he was about to cry.
Several Chinese fans at the scene knew that the Chinese team was eliminated today.
In this case, they laughed.
There was a little girl very close to the goal, with the Chinese flag on her face.
She was wearing glasses and was looking at tears at this moment.
Shan Wei, who was nearby, just saw him, and suddenly the corners of Shan Wei's mouth tilted.
Then he walked towards the goal, and this time Croatia took the penalty for Kovacic, who came on the bench.
Kovacic put down the football and looked at the goal. At this moment, he was full of confidence.
The Chinese team lost two penalty kicks in a row. If they scored this goal, they would basically be announced to advance to the World Cup final.
He saw Shan Wei in front of the goal, Shan Wei looked at Kovacic with a disdainful expression.
Kovacic was nervous for no reason, and an ominous premonition arose.
Kovacic sent a penalty kick after running, and when the football was still in the air, he was surprised to find that Shan Wei had actually saved the opponent.
Shan Wei saved Kovacic's penalty kick. Shan Wei stood up and looked around the court with disdain.
The Chinese fans shouted excitedly, and Shan Wei saved the ball, which made the Chinese team regain hope.
Croatia still leads the Chinese team 1-0!
The third place in the Chinese team was Jiang Bei who came on the bench. Jiang Bei is indeed too famous among this group of players.
So the fans didn't trust him very much, and they were worried that Jiang Bei would also miss the penalty kick.
Shan Wei finally saved one, and at this time the Chinese team could not be saved anymore.
However, Jiangbei seemed very calm, and from running assist to shooting very quickly.
He turned the ball into the middle, and Subashic never expected that the Chinese team would finally tie.
Then came Croatia, their third player, central defender Vader.
Shan Wei looked at Vader disdainfully, which made Vader very upset.
Vader assisted and shot to the lower left corner. This time, Vip was in the wrong direction.
Croatia still leads 2-1!
Next is Wang Yuanjie, the fourth player of the Chinese team, who is the hero of today's China team.
If Wang Yuanjie had not stood up, the Chinese team would have been eliminated.
Now I have some chance of a football battle, thanks to Wang Yuanjie.
Wang Yuanjie is still very good at penalty kicks, and he finally scored a penalty kick.
Then came the fourth player of Croatia, Mandzukic walked towards the penalty spot step by step.
China's goalkeeper Shan Wei still looked at the opponent disdainfully, and Mandzukic assisted and shot.
Shan Wei pounced on the left this time, but he realized something was wrong in the air.
Because Mandzukic's penalty kick was in the middle of this ball, fortunately he didn't do much.
Shan Wei reacted very quickly. He originally pounced on the right, but at this time he quickly raised his left hand.
He actually successfully encountered football and saved the penalty kick.
The Huaxia team finally tied 2-2!
Then there is the fifth player of the Chinese team, who is Xue Yang, the pride of heaven.
Xue Yang is very confident that having such an excellent goalkeeper gave Xue Yang a lot of confidence.
Xue Yang actually made a spoon penalty kick, which no one at the scene expected.
Croatian goalkeeper Subashici is of course the same. He looked at the football in the goal with a pale face.
