Football: Copy the peak Messi attributes at the beginning

Chapter 63 Penalty Battle

After the fourth round of the league, the German Cup came as scheduled.

Werder Bremen welcomed his first match opponent in the German Cup, a team from the German League C - Musda.

Because two days later, the fifth round of the Bundesliga will be held, and the team will go away to challenge Freiburg.

In order to save energy and avoid injuries.

In the game against Musda, Schaff made large-scale substitutes and young players to play.

Teams like De Bruyne, Lin Quan, and Fritz are all sitting on the bench, and some main players are not even on the roster.

I thought the other party was just a team in the C League and should not pose any threat to them.

After the game began, Elia, who returned from injury, scored in the 45th minute of the first half, which seemed to confirm this.

However, after the second half, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

Mushida's forward Taylor scored two goals in the 54th and 81st minutes.

Not only did it reverse the game, it also pushed Werder Bremen to the edge of the cliff.

Fortunately, Werder Bremen's young center Phil Kruger stood up and scored a goal in the 85th minute to help the team tie the score.

At this time, Schaff was a little hesitant. The game was too late. Should he replace Lin Quan and De Bruyne and other main players, seize the last time to attack and see if he could defeat his opponent?

After thinking about it, he finally chose to wait and see that the performance of these young players on the court in the final stage was still satisfying him.

And according to the competition system, if you are forced to tie, you will also play overtime.

There are 30 minutes in overtime, which is enough for him to substitution and adjust.

In the end, the 90-minute regular time ended, neither side was able to rewrite the score, and the game entered overtime.

After the overtime starts, Mushida's players suddenly started a fast break and rewritten the score again in the 96th minute of the game. Werder Bremen fell behind again!

Schaff couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he called Lin Quan, De Bruyne and others to ask them to warm up and prepare to appear.

But at this moment, an accident happened on the field.

Werder Bremen's players were anxious to equalize the score, but were accidentally hit by the opponent while attacking.

Seeing that the opponent's forward Taylor received the ball, he rushed into his own half at high speed.

Papastasopoulos, who fell at the end, had no choice but to put down the opponent. Although it destroyed the opponent's attack, he also paid a heavy price - the referee directly showed a red card and sent him off.

Now that Werder Bremen is not only one goal behind, but also one player is missing on the field.

Schaff was speechless, and he vaguely felt that the team seemed to lose.

So he changed Lin Quan, De Bruyne and others in one breath.

Seeing the other party changing into three main players in one breath, Mu Shida knew that the other party was going to fight with him.

So, they immediately began to shrink their defense line and continued to implement their ultimate defensive counterattack tactics.

Anyway, this is how they played in the first half, and they also scored two goals using this style of play.

Now they are in the lead, the opponent's offense will only be more anxious, and they will be better at playing defensive counterattacks.

Seeing his opponent placing a bus, Lin Quan felt a very strange feeling in his heart:

In the past, they always set up buses when facing strong Bundesliga teams, but they didn't expect that one day someone would use the tactics of setting up buses to deal with them.

It is indeed not easy to break the intensive defense. After Werder Bremen substitutions, the players actively cooperated in the midfield and frontcourt.

But there are too many people inside and outside the penalty area, and their passes are easily intercepted.

Even if the ball is passed, it is difficult to receive the ball under the opponent's close-up guard. There is no room for dribbling or shooting when it is received.

So Lin Quan changed his strategy and began to force breakthroughs and create fouls to win the team a free kick.

However, this move didn't seem to be very useful. De Bruyne and his own free kicks were either blocked by a wall or saved by the goalkeeper.

As time passed by minute by minute, the score on the field was still behind, Werder Bremen's players became impatient.

The fans of Mushida at home are even ready to celebrate, waiting for the referee's whistle to whistle.

In the 118th minute of the game, Lin Quan received the ball outside the penalty area, dribbled the ball horizontally to attract the defending players to grab it, and then passed the ball to De Bruyne.

The latter kept passing the ball to the left, and Werder Bremen's players received the ball and then hung into the penalty area.

The penalty area immediately fell into chaos, and the players from both sides pushed and tried to compete for the top.

But the game has been played for two hours, and the players on both sides have no strength. Although they are jumping hard, they have not touched the ball.

As a result, neither side grabbed the first landing point, and the second landing point was controlled by Mushida's players. He pushed the ball out with great effort to clear the ball.

However, the ball did not fly too far. Lin Quan started the ball as soon as he saw the trajectory of the ball. After stopping the ball with his chest, he avoided the defender's robbery and then directly took a kick and shot hard.

The goalkeeper reacted very quickly and saw Lin Quan hitting the goal and subconsciously saved it.

But the ball was too powerful. Although his hand touched the ball, he could not save the ball. The ball bounced out again and bounced back into the small penalty area.

Because the ball is too close to the goal, the penalty area is densely filled with the legs of players from both sides.

Mushida's players did not dare to clear the ball and failed to kick it out as soon as possible.

In the chaos, I don’t know who kicked the ball and kicked the ball into the net!

Seeing the net shaking, De Bruyne opened his arms and made a low-altitude flight, running wildly along the edge of the court to celebrate.

He just saw Lin Quan hit the ball and rushed forward to see if he could find a chance to make a follow-up shot.

As a result, he didn't expect the ball to really bounce in front of him, so of course he would be polite.

This goal boosted Werder Bremen's morale, and the players on Musda were all full of annoyance:

Seeing that they could win for another minute, they ended up flying away...

After De Bruyne equalized the score, the overtime match ended, and the final score was 3:3, and the game entered the final penalty shootout.

This is Lin Quan’s first penalty shootout. While feeling novelty in his heart, he is a little nervous.

After discussing the order of appearances, the penalty shootout officially began.

The first one to play was captain Fritz, who was the team's number one free thrower before. He had excellent penalties and psychological qualities.

Letting him play first and score a goal steadily can effectively stabilize the morale of the army and make the players behind him less nervous.

Fritz did not disappoint his teammates and head coach's expectations. After he deceived the goalkeeper, he steadily sent the ball to the goal.

However, the opponent's subsequent player scored a penalty.

In the second round, De Bruyne appeared.

He shot hard at the lower left corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper judged the right direction, but the ball was too fast and he couldn't do anything.

It was Mushida's turn. He saw Militz's firm eyes and was subconsciously a little afraid. In addition, he was equalized by the opponent in the last minute of the overtime game, which made him feel worried and worried, and he had not started to punish him.

When I was in a penalty kick, I was worried about the consequences of losing the ball.

When Militz saw the other person's expression, he immediately guessed the hesitation and fear in his heart.

So he acted like a sure win, waved his arms and stared at the other party.

The referee reminded Mushida's players to quickly make free throws, which further aggravated his nervousness.

He rushed to shoot, trying to hit the lower right corner, but his shot was saved by Militz, who had determined the right direction in advance!

This goal boosted Werder Bremen's morale, and the third and fourth players who appeared successfully scored the ball.

The players behind Mushida also withstood the pressure and did not lose the ball again. The penalty shootout score between the two sides was 4:3.

The fifth appearance is Lin Quan. If he scored this goal, Werder Bremen will directly win the penalty shootout.

"come on!"

"take it easy!"

Teammates ran over and gave him hugs and comfort to relieve his nervousness.

Lin Quan was not nervous at first, but when they hugged him like this, he became a little nervous.

He nodded heavily, held the football and placed it on the penalty spot, then took a few steps back and looked at the goalkeeper.

After the referee signaled that he could get a penalty kick, he quickly helped.

The goalkeeper stared at his foot nervously, trying to judge the direction of his shooting through his movements.

However, Lin Quan's speed suddenly slowed down when he was about to approach the ball.

The goalkeeper originally judged through his steps that he wanted to hit the left side of the goal with his right foot, but as soon as he moved, the opponent's rhythm completely changed. Lin Quan stretched out his left foot and then pushed it lightly, and the ball was not fast.

Rolling to the right of the goal with a slow speed.

Although the goalkeeper made an adjustment immediately, when he fell to the ground to save, the ball had already rolled into the goal.

This move was during the penalty shootout in the 2022 World Cup final. Messi's move against French goalkeeper Lori was learned by Lin Quan and used in advance. Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good!

In the end, Werder Bremen won the victory from a German C team in a penalty kick away game.

They almost broke the car!
