Chapter 633 Penalty Shootout (Part 2)
PS: Let me ask you for recommendation votes here...
When Effenberg walked towards the penalty area, everyone in the stands, including Juventus fans, calmed down. He watched the tiger walk up the penalty spot, and had no intention of creating psychological pressure for him with booing, because they knew that the German tiger that dared to give his middle finger to his fans in the World Cup field, which was highly anticipated by the booing would never be shaken into his heart by booing!
"I will not be broken by a waste who can't even enter the national team!" Although I knew Effenberg's past "deeds", Peruzzi didn't know whether it was a brain cramp or something. Perhaps he just wanted to anger Effenberg and let the angry tiger miss this critical penalty, so he said this sentence at this time that everyone was extremely desperate.
When saying this, Peruzzi did not shout loudly or dance to attract the attention of others, but instead controlled the volume to the extent that Effenberg, who was walking to the penalty point, could hear it.
However, Peruzzi obviously forgot that Effenberg is no longer the bad guy on the court that caused trouble back then.
"Tsk, this kind of provocation is really low-level." Hearing Peruzzi's provocation, Effenberg smiled, and seemed not to be angry with the other party's words. "If it were me four years ago, I would probably have been hit and rushed up to beat this rude guy up? Alas, time is really a ruthless killing knife..."
So, under Peruzzi's gaze revealing "this unscientific" gaze, Effenberg put the ball calmly, then retreated for a while, signaling to the referee that he was ready.
The referee Kragg saw that both sides were ready, so he blew a whistle that could take the penalty!
Hearing the whistle, Effenberg began to run, and Peruzzi also tightened his nerves at the same time. Both sides bet on the penalty kick!
I saw Effenberg accelerated at a mid-range speed and shot his right foot, shooting directly into the center of the goal!
However, Peruzzi made a wrong judgment at this time. He had already pounced on the left and did not expect that the opponent would choose the most direct and simplest way to shoot!
Although Peruzzi tried hard to adjust the center of gravity and twist his body, trying to block Effenberg's explosive shot, it was too late to fix the shot with the tiger's full force.
Seeing Effenberg successfully kick the penalty into Juventus' goal, Capello showed a hint of relief on his face. He felt that he had read this correct German tiger, who had been reformed, and letting him, who has the best psychological quality, serve as the finale penalty kicker, is indeed the right choice!
"The ball is in! Effenberg played this penalty very firmly! The ball flew directly from the middle Lions as fast as possible! Peruzzi completely misjudged Effenberg's intention! Now Fiorentina leads Juventus four-3! If Pierro, who is the fifth appearance in the Zebras, fails to score the next penalty, then Purple Lily will win the Champions League trophy for the third time in a row after this!"
In Juventus, when it comes to choosing the fifth penalty kicker, Lippi put Pierro, who has the best penalty kick skills in the team, in this most critical position. This is also the habit of many head coaches when arranging the order of appearances in the penalty shootout. After all, the first and fifth players who take the penalty kick often bear greater pressure than others, so putting the team's No. 1 and No. 2 penalty kicker in these two positions is the safest choice for all coaches.
When Pierro walked towards the penalty area, Tordo, who was checking the "snatching penalty tip", was finally captured by the camera.
"Haha, look at what we found? Florence goalkeeper Toldo was actually looking at a note!" This was the first time the commentator encountered this situation, so of course he didn't know what Toldo was looking at. He could only make some reasonable speculation based on the picture and actual situation sent back by the camera. "I think that piece of paper should have written some Juventus players' habits of penalty kicks. After all, in the previous four-round penalty shootouts, Toldo all judged the direction of the ball flying, and did not dive more because he was slowing down when saving."
"If this is the case, then Pierro's situation will be quite bad. After all, for a penalty kicker, they often shoot in the most comfortable way, so that they can better pursue success rate." Baggio inserted in at this time and expressed his opinion, "However, Tordo already knows the opponent's habits. If Pierro still does this, then the penalty kick will be highly likely to be directly saved by Tordo!"
At this time, Pierro did not hear the conversation between the commentator and Baggio on the court, but he also noticed Tordo's move. However, Pierro did not have the cameras placed on the side of the court and had such good vision, so he was just a little strange about Tordo's behavior and did not think deeply about it.
Hearing the referee's whistle sounded, Pierro took a deep breath and started running!
In order to ensure the shooting percentage, Piero even habitually made two pauses during the run-up process to make Tordo fool and move the center of gravity of his body in advance so that he could send the ball into the goal more smoothly.
However, what disappointed the Zebra Prince was that Toldo, who was standing in front of the goal, was not shaken by his fake moves at all, and was still standing on the goal line and waiting for it!
After discovering that his opponent had seen through his tricks, Prince Zebra finally showed his weakness at this time, which was his not mature psychological quality. No matter how much the Italian media and fans appreciate him, he is still a young man in his twenties, and his psychological tolerance is naturally not as good as that of those veterans.
So, when he had already reached the free throw point, Piero, who was a little nervous, had no choice but to grit his teeth and gritted his teeth and hit the ball in the lower right corner of the goal according to his most accustomed to the kick!
Before Pierro shot, Toldo had already rushed to his left and blocked the penalty shot from the Zebra Prince with one hand!
