Faced with the upcoming penalty shootout, the German media, fans and German team were full of confidence, while the English media and fans were a little pessimistic.

This is a historical factor, and it is also the media and fans' perception of England.

In the eyes of more people, England still has the chance to defeat Germany during normal game time, but in the penalty shootout, the hope of winning becomes very small.

"England should not drag the game to a penalty kick, which is very unfavorable for them. Perhaps Wansheng is not very familiar with the entire team, or the penalty history of England. In overtime, he should try his best to make the team win."

Some criticisms of Wan Sheng came out.

This shows how unconfidence the English media and fans are.

On the contrary, the German media praised Loew, "The German team did not perform well in the whole game and was lagging behind most of the time, but the German team successfully dragged the score to the penalty kick, which is the right choice."

"The penalty shootout is very beneficial to the German team, and the German team has the habit of winning the penalty kick..."

“…”

Among the many comments, England is not that pessimistic. One is that they have been training for a long time before, and the other is that many players trust goalkeeper Joe Hart very much. The main reason is that Joe Hart saved the penalty kicks in training, which made everyone feel that he can save the penalty in the official game.

As long as the goalkeeper can save the opponent's penalty kick, the player who plays the penalty kick will become very confident.

This is a mutually promoting mentality.

At the beginning, each team kicks five goals. There is a great hope for a penalty kick. The goalkeeper can save the opponent's penalty kick, which can give his own players a room for 'missing'. This will make the players who punish the penalty kick have a more mentality, rather than always thinking, "If you don't make this ball, you will definitely lose." The pressure is too great, which directly affects the players' performance.

"Don't think about history! That doesn't matter!"

"Now we're going to beat Germany on a penalty kick!"

"Do you know what the outside world is saying now? I believe you can know that almost everyone thinks we will lose. If we lose, it is normal, so don't take pressure, we must work hard to create miracles... although, in my opinion, this is not a miracle..."

Wan Sheng gave the final advice to the players, "Please pay attention to their own characteristics. No matter what strange solutions you find, just play normally. I believe we are much better than our opponents!"

This is what Wansheng emphasizes.

Many people think that the penalty shootout is very beneficial to the German team, but in fact, the penalty shootout is beneficial to the team that Wansheng coaches, because the team that Wansheng coaches never have a disadvantage in terms of shooting and goal rate. This is determined by the coaching skill ‘shooting’ in the football training system.

"Shooting: offensive, coach max perfect skill.

In a regular game, when your player is in a shooting state, the individual shooting evaluation value will increase by 7.

In regular games, when your player is in the shooting state, accurately correct 3 degrees.

In regular games, when your player completes a goal, the shooting ability evaluation will be improved."

"Shooting" is the perfect skill of coach Max, and its effect is also very obvious. "Individual shooting evaluation value increases by 7" will allow a player with average shooting ability to directly have the best shooting skills, while "precision correction of 3 degrees" will leave players room for mistakes and easily allow players to play dead corners.

One of the effects that Wan Sheng values ​​most is that "when the player completes the goal, the evaluation of shooting ability will be improved."

After so many years of research, he has been able to estimate the improvement effect. It is not a fixed value. A player with a high shooting ability evaluation will improve slightly after completing the goal. On the contrary, a player with a low shooting ability evaluation will improve the goal after completing the goal.

But there is always improvement.

For example, Morris often scores goals in games. He scored nearly 50 goals in various competitions in two seasons, which improved Morris' shooting ability evaluation by 7 points, and the basic evaluation has reached 103. In real games, Morris' shooting ability will exceed 110 and be close to 114 evaluation value.

This rating value reaches the limit of football players.

This is also an important reason why Morris can always score amazing goals on the court. In terms of penalty kicks, Morris has 100 consecutive free throws. If physical limitations are not considered, he can score at least 98. Therefore, Wan Sheng believes that Morris' chances of losing a penalty are very low, and he can almost certainly complete the goal.

Wan Sheng ranked Morris in fifth place.

Just like the habit of a team, the finale players usually have to be at the front or the last, because the first and fifth players take the penalty often have the greatest pressure. They must withstand the pressure and score the ball, which requires very good psychological quality.

The first four players who played were Ashley Cole, Gerald, Rooney and Ashley Young.

After the order of appearances is arranged, the penalty shootout is about to begin.

According to the rules of the European Cup, teams with substitutions can still be used in penalty shootouts. The German team also has a substitution quota. Löw used the quota on Klose. Klose is an excellent shooter. He is also an experienced veteran, and there is definitely no problem in mentality.

However, Klose was not arranged to play first. He is a 'substitute penalty kicker'. If Germany and England cannot decide the winner within five goals, it will be Klose's turn to play.

The German team is not short of penalty kick players.

Khdira was arranged by Löv to play the first free throw, and the other four players were Schweinsteiger, Gomez, Thomas Muller and Ozil. Like Morris, Ozil was the finale player and finally played for the German team.

Compared with the five-player combination of England, the German team's no one is obviously more gorgeous. All five players are excellent strikers or midfield cores. The German commentator sighed, "I can't think of these five people, who will throw the ball away!"

The tone was quite like "there is no colder than the height".

After the teams of both sides handed the roster to the referee, the penalty shootout was about to begin. Gerald went to draw a lottery for the first free throw, and then Ashley Cole walked to the goal and prepared to make the first free throw.

In England, Wan Sheng pays more attention to the frontcourt offensive teams, and does not pay much attention to defenders, especially Ashley Cole. He seems to have little concern on weekdays and has no advice when the game is approaching.

This is not because Wan Sheng does not value Ashley Cole, but because he is very relieved of Ashley Cole and there is nothing special to say.

As early as 10 years ago, Ashley Cole was already the main player of Arsenal. After that, it turned to Chelsea and caused a big sensation. Arsenal and Chelsea even went to court for this, but these off-court events also proved Ashley Cole's excellence. Otherwise, a young player with little fame would not be worthy of the breakup between the clubs of both sides.

In the England national team, Ashley Cole is also the most stable performance. Many media criticize Rooney and Gerald. Sometimes even Morris can't escape criticism, but in every game, Ashley Cole will be praised for "solid performance".

What else can I say about such a player?

Now that it is the key penalty shootout, many fans may first think of offensive players in the frontcourt, such as Rooney and Ashley Young, but Wan Sheng is most at ease with Ashley Kerr. In his opinion, Cole's first penalty is much more likely to score.

Ashley Cole stood in front of the door and looked at Neuer opposite.

Neuer is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but even the best goalkeeper is nothing special about saving penalty kicks, and those must-scoring goals still cannot be saved.

Ashley Cole took two steps back, then trotted forward and pulled the ball behind the ball.

Right side!

The ball enters!

The football flew into the goal without any suspense, and Neuer didn't move anywhere, so he didn't have time to react.

England fans cheered for Cole's goal.

Wan Sheng nodded. Cole's goal was expected, and there was nothing particularly exciting about it. He was more concerned about Joe Hart's performance.

Wansheng has activated the active mode of 'strength barrier'.

The effect of this skill will increase the goalkeeper's reaction speed by 100%, and Joe Hart's reaction speed will be twice as sensitive.

As early as when training for a penalty kick, Wan Sheng had already reminded Joe Hart to make a judgment and make a save. In some angles, this will affect the save success rate. But as long as the opponent does not shoot hard and kick the far corner, after increasing the reaction speed, Joe Hart has the opportunity to make a judgment first and then save.

Joe Hart stood in front of the door.

This European Cup is his second time to participate in an international competition, and it is also his first time to serve as England's No. 1 goalkeeper, and naturally it is also his first time to face a penalty shootout in an international competition.

Joe Hart originally thought he would be very nervous, but after standing in front of the door, he found that he was very excited and his brain became extremely clear, as if he could quickly judge each movement of the other person.

This feeling is amazing. Joe Hart thinks he is in good condition and his confidence has also improved a lot.

bring it on!

Joe Hart shouted in his heart.

The first player to play in the German team was Khedira. The 26-year-old Khedira is a midfielder, but his footwork is very good. Long-range shots often pose threats to his opponents. He and Gerard are similar in type, so naturally penalty kicks are no problem.

Khedira performed very calmly. He assisted two steps and then kept his kick behind the ball.

A powerful shot!

Joe Hart made the correct judgment and he pounced on the left, but the ball was too fast. When he reached the position, the football flew through the goal line from the front of his finger.

What a pity!

"Joe Hart's judgment on this ball was very accurate, but he was still one step slower. This is the penalty kick. The penalty kick is too close to the goal, and it is difficult for the goalkeeper to save it accurately..." The English commentator said regretfully.

When he saw Joe Hart save, Khedira's heart also rose to his throat. Fortunately, the ball was fast enough and the opponent did not save.

The ball entered.

Khedira completed his mission, returned to the German team and clapped his teammates, and reminded his teammates, "Be careful, that young boy is not simple."

No one else took it seriously.

In the eyes of most people, Neuer is much better than Joe Hart in terms of fame and strength. The two are not even comparable. Even Neuer saves a bit by luck. Joe Hart wants to save a penalty, but he depends more on luck.

The second round has begun.

Gerrard played for England. Gerrard's performance has always been stable, and long-range shots always pose threats to his opponents, but when it comes to penalty kicks... Even the fans who trust Gerrard the most feel very uncertain. Whether at Liverpool Club or England's national team, Gerrard has failed to score many times.

Gerald tried to keep himself in a stable state of mind, but he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The current penalty shootout is directly related to whether England can qualify. He is even a little lucky that Wansheng will arrange a second appearance for himself: if it is the first or the last one, he doesn't know whether he can withstand the pressure.

While standing in front of the door, Gerald stared at Neuer cautiously.

This is a battle of eyes.

Neuer seemed very calm, which also made Gerald more cautious. After the referee signaled that he could make a free throw, Gerald took two steps back, then assisted forward, and directly pulled hard behind the ball.

Bang!

This kind of powerful penalty kick, as long as it does not deviate from the goal, is almost equivalent to entering.

Neuer rushed to the right, while the football rushed to the left. Neuer made a mistake in his judgment, but everyone was worried about the goal because the direction of the football rushing over was a bit too far. Fortunately, the ball did not skew the post in the end, but flew into the net close to the post.

The ball has entered!

Gerald raised his hands and let out a long sigh!

He really felt relaxed!

Regardless of whether England can beat Germany in a penalty shootout, at least he himself has not become the loser.

Wan Sheng smiled slightly as he looked at Gerald's goal.

Past experience tells him that this is not the trajectory. Gerald's shot should indeed deviate from the post and flew out of bounds. The football training master's "shooting technique" skill corrects the shooting angle, so the football will fly into the goal against the post.

No matter what, the result is the most important thing. England did not make any mistakes in the first two goals, and they all scored, which was a good start.

Next, it was the German turn to play, and Schweinsteiger stood in front of the goal.

Schweinsteiger is not the core of the German team, but the German team's "determining needle". Even though his legs are not completely healed, Löw sent him to play and play all the games, which shows Schweinsteiger's position in the German team.

In the current penalty shootout, Schweiingsteiger also played for the German team.
Chapter completed!
