King of Competition

Chapter 237 penalty kick

At halftime, Benitez only expressed his dissatisfaction with the first half, did not arrange any tactics, but just let the players work hard to win the game.

For such an arrangement, some old players understand what they mean. The coach obviously doesn't care about the result of the game anymore. What he cares about is to hone them and let the team mature quickly in defeat.

Such an idea...?

Some players understand, some players don't understand, but they don't discuss the head coach's problem with each other, and even if Don Jack doesn't understand, in his opinion, all games should strive for victory.

Don't care about the result of the game?

In the eyes of Don Jack, it is actually safer to let himself end. As long as the game you play is the game in pursuit of victory, how can you not care about the result? He doesn't understand, but it doesn't prevent Don Jack from trying to pursue victory. His heart for victory is stronger than anyone else.

The same is true of other Liverpool players. Many people feel ashamed of Benitez at halftime, and now is the time for them to regain their dignity.

However, Benitez did not arrange the tactics in detail.

This caused the head coach of Olympiacos to frown off the court after the start of the second half of the game, because he found it difficult for him to see clearly. Is it difficult to see whether Liverpool is a big attack or a defensive counterattack?

Liverpool, this is... Why does it look like a mess?

But it's a mess, and it still doesn't take advantage of the Olympiacos team.

In fact, at this time, the physical energy consumption of the players of Olympiacos is already very large. The whole game is a tactic, but this tactic cannot be applied to the whole game, because for the side that is forced to rob, the physical energy consumption is very large. It can be said that ordinary professional players can only stick to the half, so Olympia Coase sent a group of young players to play.

These players may not be very skilled, but they are better in their physical fitness.

But after half a game, Olympiacos has been a little down on the whole. Many players on the court will no longer take the initiative to grab the ball when they see Liverpool players taking the ball. It is more a symbolic move, waiting for Liverpool players to pass the ball.

This kind of game looks dull.

But Liverpool will not. Now every player on the court wants to prove that he can still exert his strength under the passive situation of the team. This proof is not only to the head coach Benitez, but also to prove to himself. With such a mentality, the strength that the players can play can be imagined.

Liverpool will lose the ball, but they will try to get it back!

Gradually, Liverpool did not have any passiveness in the situation, but suppressed Olympiacos to play again, which satisfied Benitez on the court.

※※※

In the sixty-first minute of the game, Liverpool played a good ball, and Gerrard dribbled the ball in the middle, and Harvey. Alonso made a two-on-one cooperation and directly shook away the other two defenders. After that, Gerrard passed the arc ball straight to Louis on the left. Garcia. In the second half, Garcia's performance was not bad. He occasionally attracted fans and kept creating threats on the left. Garcia's breakthrough and cross were a great tool for Liverpool's attack in the second half.

After receiving the pass, Garcia kept shaking his feet, constantly controlling the ball and observing the situation in the middle. On the middle road, Jack Don had already rushed to the penalty area. Seeing this scene, Garcia shook his left foot on the ball again, and then kicked a curved ball directly on his right heel and hung the ball over.

The football hangs Don Jack's point.

Don Jack trotted forward and got to the position. The moment just started, which made Olympiacos' defenders completely not keep up. This was a rare opportunity. Don Jack stood in place and waved his body slightly to the left with a little force. The Olympiacos defender behind him was hit by a small bump and staggered. Steady, take advantage of the opportunity, Jack Don jumps directly from the spot, and at the same time, the opponent's goalkeeper also attacks!

"Wow..." The whole audience exclaimed.

At this moment, the Olympiacos players knew that the black-haired boy jumped up in advance, and their goalkeeper attacked later. Even if the goalkeeper could catch the ball with both hands, it was still impossible to receive the ball before the black-haired boy headed the ball.

Before the game, he was told that the black-haired boy's header ability was constantly emphasized, which made Olympiacos players attach great importance to Don Jack. In a moment, the No. 4 defender Lorkowski, who had just been hit by Don Jack's body, thought he was very secretive and pushed hard at Don Jack's body.

When his body was unstable in the air, Jack Don fell directly to the ground. At the moment when the football fell, he only had time to use his forehead a little. As a result, the football hit the top of his head and flew directly out of the bottom line.

All the players looked at the referee.

Don Jack fell to the ground and didn't get up. In fact, his body is completely fine. It doesn't matter to him at all. But after so many games, Don Jack also learned to pretend to be in pain to win the sympathy of the referee...

The referee sympathized with him.

The main reason is that the No. 4 defender Lolkowski's push action is too obvious. Generally, there is no problem with this kind of action, but when Don Jack jumps up and then pushes the person, it is a malicious foul, which is easy to hurt the jumping player.

Lolkowski stopped Don Jack's goal, but brought himself a yellow card and a penalty.

Which one is more cost-effective, goal or penalty + yellow card?

It is difficult for anyone to distinguish which one is cost-effective, but in Don Jack's opinion, it must be more cost-effective later. In Don Jack's understanding, a penalty kick represents a must-goal goal. In fact, it is the same for ordinary fans.

But what most people can't understand is that many big stars have fallen here at the penalty. Fan in the European Cup in 1992. Basten, Italy's tragic Baggio and Baresi in the 1994 World Cup, and Dutch striker Frank in the European Cup 2000. De Boer, Cruyvette, Boswirt, Stam, Spanish captain Raul, etc., almost all of these famous stars have the experience of shooting penalty kicks in key games. For the fans, it is very frustrating for the star they support to miss the penalty kick. What's more, the penalty kick affects the game, so many fans will blame the person who missed the penalty kick, so there is Italy's sad Baggio, but in fact, the player who shoots the penalty is the most painful, because it will be on the player. It causes a big shadow in their hearts, which will also make them feel very guilty in the competition, and even affect their lives.

And now, Liverpool has got a penalty.

Compared with the World Cup and the European Cup, a game in the group stage of the Champions League is a little irrelevant, but Liverpool is just one goal behind, and this penalty is still very stressful for the penalty.

Liverpool players are piled up together, discussing who will take the penalty. In fact, everyone wants to take the penalty. This is a Champions League goal, and everyone has confidence in their own footwork.

If you want to get the position of the main penalty, you need the confidence of others... So, everyone looked at Gerrard, and Gerrard looked at Don Jack instead: "Jack, am I or you?"

Jack Don thought for a moment and said, "I'll do it."

Don Jack doesn't care about a Champions League group goal, but he still believes more in himself in this critical moment of penalty.

Looking at the brunette boy, and then at the Greek goalkeeper standing at the Olympic goal, the eyes of the Liverpool players are full of sympathy... Think about this black-haired boy, who usually shoots at a distance of about 20 meters, can make Dudek have a bitter face. This distance has reached the penalty point...

"Steven, do you think the goalkeeper can play later?" Cise asked.

Gerard touched the beard that was not on his chin and prayed quietly: "Pray that Olympiakos No. 1 will be safe, Amen..."

"When did you start pretending to be a magic stick?"

Gerard stared and said, "I'm a devout believer."

"But..." Cise hesitated for a moment, or said, "When praying, you should use your right hand. You just used your left hand... Are you sure you are a believer?"

Gerard blushed and then shouted, "Gibriel, look, Jack scored!" He pointed to the direction of the restricted area of Olympiacos.

There, Don Jack is just about to shoot.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Jack Don jumped twice in place and kept staring at the goal. Olko, the goalkeeper of Olympiacos, is thinking about the side's save next, which is a very horizontal analysis. Before the opponent plays the ball, it is necessary to observe the eyes of the shooter, and some goalkeepers only pay attention to their feet. Generally speaking, as long as they are in the right direction, it is possible to save.

After seeing the black-haired boy in front of him and finally getting up, Orco was a little nervous. He stared at him without blinking, trying to predict the direction.

But the next moment, Orco was stunned!

Before Orco had predicted or even reacted, he found that the football had flown into the door frame. After about a second, Orco reacted and looked back. He saw that the football had been spinning on the net. After another second, he fell off the net.

"The goal is scored!! Gooooooooooooal!!!!!!

"Jack! A powerful penalty! Olympiacos goalkeeper Orco could only watch the football fly into the net. He didn't even have time to react. With this shot, Liverpool finally tied the game. Now it's the 63rd minute of the game. Liverpool seems to be out of shape in front of this game, but now it has been tied. We I look forward to their better performance.

"Speaking of which, Olympiacos defeated the England team. This situation has only happened once in history. That was thirty-one years ago. I don't think Liverpool wants to put themselves on this pillar of shame. This goal expresses their determination."

"This goal is entirely due to Jack. He created the penalty and he scored. He tied the score. He is like a director on the football field. All the results always follow his performance. It seems that Jack is in good condition. We can look forward to Liverpool's next goal. It's over!"
