Chapter 312 Destined penalty shootout
"There is someone at the back point, Xu Qi! Xu Qi got the ball, and Serner passed the ball to Xu Qi." Liu Jiayuan, as the commentator, became unscrupulous at this moment, and he seemed nervous and excited.
Because at this time, Xu Qi got the ball, and there was only one Stankovic beside him.
After Xu Qi got the ball, he ignored Stankovic who was beside him. He led the ball forward and left Stankovic behind him.
"Good ball!" Xu Qi not only praised Serner for passing a good ball for himself.
Of course, he can't squander this ball. The more he reaches the critical moment, the more he needs to be calm!
After he broke into the penalty area with the ball, his mind was very clear. Macon on the left was already speeding up, while Lucio was on the front right, and Cesar was also the one who was snatching.
How easy is it to score?
But no matter how difficult it is, you have to fight!
Xu Qi quickly found the nearly only shooting route in a very short time!
Then, Xu Qi swung his right leg and quickly started his foot.
"Shot!"
The ball hit the near post!
The close shot shot hit the ball just before Lucio's legs reached over.
Although Lucio's Brazilian national teammate Cesar tried his best to save, the ball still flew into the near post!
The ball! It's in!
"The ball has entered! Xu Qi's shot is wonderful. This is his eighth goal in the Champions League this season. He leads the scorer list without any suspense! The eighth goal in the tenth Champions League game! So handsome!"
"Actually, just a few minutes ago, in another game, Barcelona is now leading Arsenal 3-1. Messi had completed a hat-trick in the first half, so Messi's Champions League goal number has reached seven, only one goal behind Xu Qi. So although Xu Qi scored eight goals, if he wants to win the Champions League Golden Boot, it may depend on whether Messi agrees or not." Liu Jiayuan just finished talking about Xu Qi leading the scorer list, and then got the prompt from the director. Messi had already tied the number of goals, but now Xu Qi scored another goal to exceed the number of goals.
However, Xu Qi naturally didn't know about another venue. After all, the game between Barcelona and Arsenal has nothing to do with Xu Qi and the Donetsk Miners.
Only Inter Milan in front of us is closely related to the Donetsk miners team, and it is a relationship of death!
Therefore, Xu Qi still celebrated with his teammates in an ventilatory manner!
"One to one, the total score of the two teams has been tied, and both sides have a away goal, so if the game ends with this score, overtime will probably be held. I'm afraid that both Mourinho and Lucescu are not particularly looking for overtime. After all, playing 30 minutes of extra game will greatly affect the team's physical fitness. Now both teams have to fight on both sides, and they are both leaders of their respective leagues and are very likely to win the league championship."
However, although Liu Jiayuan said so, it was obvious that the two famous coaches were unwilling to make the first shot. Although they did not want to play overtime, they did not want to take the initiative to attack and be beaten by the opponent to counterattack.
So, the more conservative the game becomes.
In the past ten minutes after Xu Qi scored, both sides did not shoot at all. On the offensive end, they did not dare to invest in troops or press too far.
The time of the game passes by minute by minute.
Everyone knows how bad it would be if the opponent scored a goal during this period.
Especially the Donetsk Miners, if they concede one goal at this time, they need to score two more, and there is almost no hope.
If Inter Milan concedes the ball, it is very dangerous, and they may not be able to tie the score again without sufficient physical fitness.
So, the game during this period was very tense, but there was no murderous intention.
Although Mourinho replaced Milito, who was not physically fit enough, and replaced Balotelli, he still had no intention of strengthening his attack.
The Donetsk Miners made the first substitution adjustment when they reached the injury time period. Judson was replaced and Douglas Costa replaced.
In this way, Xu Qi was once again arranged to the middle position.
It is said that he was arranged to the middle lane, but in fact, he still needs to go deeper and participate in the defense more.
In the final injury stoppage time, both sides finally exerted some force, trying to defeat the opponent in the end, but they also miscalculated.
Finally, the ninety-minute game is over, and the thirty-minute overtime is coming!
"At the beginning of this season, the Donetsk Miners once played an overtime game. It was the time of the European Super Cup. They tied with Barcelona in 90 minutes. Finally, after a 30-minute match in overtime, the Donetsk Miners lost to Barcelona and did not win the glory of the European Super Cup. At the same time, Barcelona also achieved unprecedented six championship honors in 2009, and was called the six-champion."
"So, for overtime, it seems that the Donetsk Miners don't have many good memories."
In fact, Liu Jiayuan forgot that in the Europa League final last year, the Donetsk Miners defeated Bremen by Xu Qi's final in overtime and won the UEFA Champions League last season!
Overtime also has good memories for the Donetsk Miners.
After some rest, the players on both sides immediately entered overtime.
Overtime seems to have a better advantage in the Donetsk Miners, which are younger and more physically in an advantageous manner.
However, the Donetsk miners will not take the initiative, because they feel that playing penalty kicks may be more likely to win.
Mourinho doesn't seem to be too ruling with the possibility of playing penalty kicks. He has the god-like Cesar this season. Who are he afraid of when playing penalty kicks?
So, these thirty minutes of overtime are more nervous and less exciting.
Of course, it is nervous in overtime, because perhaps the outcome of the game will be changed in just a blink of an eye.
However, the excitement is that both teams do not have much ambitions for attack. At this time, whoever loses the ball will be finished, so they are all defending with all their might.
Although Xu Qi really hopes that the team can take the initiative to attack, as a player, he must strictly follow the tactics deployed by the coach, and of course he cannot push himself too far.
Moreover, Xu Qi has consumed a lot of physical strength now, and it is difficult for him to break through with the ball.
Even though he has already practiced very well now, after all, such a fierce and exciting battle, it is already good to not get cramped until this time.
Now Douglas Costa can run ahead of the miners, and he is ahead, but when he encounters a defender like Lucio, he can't get any advantage.
Similarly, Inter Milan's physical fitness is not very good, so Balotelli is still a little excited, but Balotelli is not as enthusiastic as Douglas Costa.
Neither of these two players in their respective teams can play a decisive role in such a critical game.
Finally, in thirty minutes, the lukewarm overtime game finally ended, and next, there was a more tense and exciting penalty shootout.
Chapter completed!
