Chapter 854 Penalty Shootout
In this game, Heynckes still continued the main lineup of last season. Obviously, in the game about the championship honor, Heynckes also seemed a bit conservative. His transformation of Notts County has not yet been completed. adventure.
And Klinsmann is equally cautious. The formation of 4411 is simply stunned. In the midfield, Joe Cole, Essien, Meireles and Ballack are lined up, Shevchenko has a single arrow, and Lampa Germany ambushed behind the nuclear warhead. This is already the strongest lineup that Klinsmann can send.
Last season, the Blues coach Mourinho's style of play relied more on defense in the center and counterattack from the side. Now, although Joe Cole is still there, and there are Wright Phillips Jr. on the side, Duff's departure However, it weakened Chelsea's wing offensive strength a lot, and considering the star's appearance arrangement, he can only make the midfield appear in such a muscular forest state.
The battle is about to break out, and it seems that the whole stadium is filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Prince William, the newly appointed chairman of the FA, chatted with David with great interest. His Royal Highness obviously has a good impression of this legendary chairman, but of course he knows that in his position, he should not be too obvious about favoring one another over another. Will chat with Abu from time to time.
As for Thompson, he seemed to have forgotten the conflict with the Notts County club, and started talking to David without any grievances. Of course, he was trying to find out how Notts County managed FIFA. Wei helplessly flirted with the old fox, and naturally didn't mention the inside story.
Although there are not too many substantive things, they are all sensible people. Based on the bad relationship between the two sides last season, the FA did not collude with FIFA this time, so the grievances between the two sides will be wiped out. Special care, but don't want to be special either.
With all the external resistance cleared, is there any reason for Notts County not to take off?
The match on the stadium started quickly. Neither Notts County nor Chelsea launched an offensive with a desperate effort. After summer adjustments, the two teams are very different from before. It is the most correct choice to try it out.
Of course, when it comes to the state of the two teams, they cannot actually be compared with those in the middle of the season, especially the World Cup in the summer has seriously affected the preparations of the giants. At this time, they have just trained their physical skills. Drills can only be interspersed with physical training.
So at the beginning of the game, both sides made a lot of mistakes. In the game of giants, such a scene is very rare.
Where are giants better than ordinary teams?
Top stars, lineup configuration, and mature technical and tactical play are all obvious gaps.
But at a deeper level, the number of mistakes is also a direct factor to measure a team's ability. Compared with ordinary teams, the turnover rate of wealthy teams is definitely lower, and they have a stronger grasp of opportunities.
In the stands, fans from both sides accounted for half, waving the flag and cheering for their team. After waiting for a summer, their team finally embarked on the journey.
However, the game in the first half was far from as good as imagined, and it did not show the vigor and vigor of sparks hitting the earth. On the one hand, the two sides were a little cautious, and on the other hand, they did not play the desired effect because of their state.
In the second half, the two sides made substitution adjustments by coincidence. Notts County's Yaya Toure came on to replace Makoto, and Chelsea also replaced Wright-Phillips Jr., which became two wings.
The game suddenly became more attractive. Although there were frequent mistakes, they finally played what they wanted, and as time passed, the two sides gradually became angry. The pursuit of victory made them go all out.
In the 65th minute of the game, Kaka, who was completely liberated, scored a goal to help Notts County take the lead. Kaka has grown into a superstar in the past season, and this season, the Brazilian genius will sprint towards the top up!
Chelsea, who were behind, launched a massive counterattack, and Ballack frequently advanced to create murderous intentions, and finally equalized the score near the end of the game.
Due to the rules of the Community Shield, the two teams that were tied in 90 minutes directly entered the brutal penalty shootout.
In fact, Notts County does not have enough experience in penalty shootouts. If it is really counted, it seems that they have only taken penalty kicks in the Community Shield. The number of penalty shootouts in several seasons is even less than that of the championship. The number of times is really rare.
A draw in regular time is acceptable to both sides. The penalty shootout has nothing to do with strength. Even a primary school team is likely to beat a professional team, and more depends on luck.
Standing in front of Notts County is Joe Hart. Although Diego Lopez has recovered from a serious injury and has reached the state before the injury after a summer of training, Joe Hart has already stood still during his recovery period He stepped on his heels and firmly held the main position, so even if Diego Lopez returns, he can only sit on the bench and wait for an opportunity.
Undoubtedly, among the new generation of goalkeepers, Joe Hart is undoubtedly the most dazzling one. He can secure his position as the main goalkeeper of the giants Notts County at such a young age. The new England coach has already considered making him the new generation of England's national goalkeeper. .
The biggest feature of Joe Hart is his big heart. He will play very well every time he comes to a big scene, and his ability to save penalties is obvious to all.
Of course, compared with Joe Hart, Cech is undoubtedly more mature, and he is capable of competing for the best goalkeeper in the world.
Soon, the two sides submitted the order of penalty kicks, and the penalty kick kicked off. For the fans standing in front of the TV, although the game itself disappointed them, they could see the intense and exciting penalty kicks The battle is still pretty good.
The captains of both sides played first, and both goalkeepers judged the wrong direction;
The two kickers in the second round also scored penalties one after another, and the two goalkeepers still judged the wrong direction;
However, in the third round of penalty kicks, there was a sudden disturbance. Villa's foot slipped for a moment when he shot.
Klinsmann clenched his fists suddenly and looked very excited. Every mistake in the penalty shootout may lead to failure. The balance of victory has begun to tilt towards Chelsea!
After all, Villa has experienced strong winds and waves. Although he was frustrated and disappointed that he did not score a penalty kick, he returned to his teammates calmly. The teammates also wiped his head to show comfort. At this point in the game, although They all have ideas about the championship, but they don't think much of this kind of championship anymore, even if they don't get it, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
