Chapter 454 Penalty Shootout ([-])
Inzaghi looked at Zoff, who was talking to Maldini, and then turned his head to look at the nervous young player in front of him. After hesitating again and again, he knelt down and said to Kenny: "Loris, I can see that. You're nervous, what you need now is to relax and not pretend to smile, you know?"
"I didn't. Well, that's true." Kenny, who seemed to be having a question and answer with the staff, was already in a state of nervous fugue. When he heard Inzaghi's words, it took more than ten seconds. Responding, as Inzaghi said, Kenny was indeed very nervous at the moment. He wanted to deny all this, but after seeing Inzaghi's eyes, he finally told the truth.
"I know what's in your heart Lloris, what I want to tell you is to put aside those thoughts! When you stand on the penalty spot, you will feel that your kick may decide the fate of you and the team, Your team could be World Cup winners, or they could be relegated. In a state of anxiety, even a penalty expert can act like a novice. In such a state, you are taking penalties. When taking a penalty kick, I rely more on subconscious actions, rather than relying on the penalty kick skills I learned before, so."
Speaking of this, Inzaghi paused, looked straight at Kenny and said earnestly: "Whether it is Christian (Vieri) or you, in fact, everyone has the same success rate when standing on the penalty spot, and the difference is the same. It is in your control of your body and mind! Maybe you have already had a lot of experience in the previous league, but I still want to tell you, you don’t have to worry at all, Lloris, believe in yourself! Your goal is the goal, Don't care if Kahn knows it! Shoot the ball in the direction you like, don't think about whether Kahn can make a successful save, because you will definitely score the ball!"
After standing on the penalty spot, the physical function of the penalty shooter will undergo obvious changes, the muscles will be tense, and the attention will be highly concentrated, and the whole person will look very nervous.At this time, interference from the outside world is the most worrying issue for penalty shooters at this time.Anxiety makes players more susceptible to outside interference, especially those potential threats, such as the impact of the opponent's goalkeeper's penalty save success rate on the account.
Although the penalty shooter only focuses his attention on the opponent's goalkeeper, this approach may prevent him from taking the penalty kick-when the penalty shooter is highly nervous, their attention will be more Fall on the opposing goalkeeper, not your own goal.
“Don’t dwell on thinking that you’re going to miss a penalty or that the other goalkeeper will save it, it can backfire. We’ve found that the places that look like they’re out of reach are often the places goalkeepers save most often , so you should play close to the goalkeeper." Hearing what Inzaghi said, the assistant coach squatted down and handed a bottle of water and nodded.
"Trying to grab the penalty shooter's attention in a penalty shootout is what a smart goalkeeper does, and Kahn did a good job of that, his roar, his every move will make you stare at him. Gather on him, that's what he wants!"
There is no doubt that Zoff is the person who has the most say in this matter. Zoff is the only Italian goalkeeper who has won both the World Cup and the European Cup.He was 82 years old when he participated in the World Cup in 40. In that World Cup, he took over the bottom block in the game, led the Blue Army to tenaciously resist the attack of the Brazilian team, and finally defeated the German team to win the championship.In the 21 years that Zoff served in the Italian Serie A team, he saved 402 penalties, an average of 19 per season.In the 115 games played for the Italian national team, he also maintained a record of 1145 minutes without conceding a goal. This record has not been broken so far.
Seeing that the players turned their eyes back to him, Zoff suddenly blinked and shook his arms: "Goalkeepers who consciously influence their opponents can get better results in penalty shootouts. Many goalkeepers like to wave their arms, Make yourself look taller, but this approach may achieve some opposite effects, making their control range appear smaller, invisibly encouraging opponents to use the far corner to score, or to shoot closer to the goalkeeper, so that the goalkeeper does not Be able to respond flexibly.
Of course, you don't need to worry about such things happening, because your head coach is "San Zoff"
Although the words of the unsmiling coach pretending to be active at this moment are not humorous at all, they have achieved the effect he wanted. Several players couldn't help laughing, and Kenny also smiled and looked at the Zaghi said: "Thank you, Philip!"
After a short break, the adjustment time passed quickly. After tossing a coin, the referee Mayer confirmed that the German team would take the lead in free throws. The boos and real pressure came to the top of the Germans in an instant.Holding the ball and walking towards the penalty spot, Germany's first penalty shooter Michael Ballack was like a lonely fighter. His slightly bent neck seemed to be overwhelmed.
"German, German, German, surely only a German can say something like this: "What I say can't be wrong, can I make a bet?"Thank you so much, we had a great time!We are the best customers in the world, we have the best athletes, this is Germany, we are Germans! "
Loud singing and noisy boos are intertwined, which is disturbing. Players on both sides are climbing each other's shoulders and waiting for the trial of fate. Seeing Ballack's lonely figure, knowing the core German player Maldini, who was suffering from pressure and torture, instantly heard the instructions of coach Zoff. He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted loudly:
"In this place where the ocean shines and the wind howls, on this old balcony, by Solondo Bay. A man embraces a girl, and after washing with tears, he clears his throat"
The moment the song, whose tune had gone to nowhere, came out almost word by word from Maldini's mouth, the Italian players were startled and almost laughed out loud, but it was such a feeling However, the tense atmosphere was resolved in an instant.Seeing Maldini roaring and singing loudly, the Italian players threw themselves into it one after another, and even Kenny sang loudly.
On the other side, although the German players saw this scene, although they were puzzled, they soon turned their attention back to Ballack. The players on the ball are under the greatest pressure.And such two positions should be selected among the captain, the core of the team and the top scorer in the team.
For the German players on the field today, although Bierhoff is a very good choice, with seasoned experience and excellent shooting skills, he does not play much time and cannot be said to fully adapt to this atmosphere. Therefore, Germany People are more inclined to let him be the treasure of the battle.In addition, Klose is too young to convince the crowd, so the candidate can only be Ballack.
So in such an almost suffocating atmosphere, Ballack put the ball on the penalty spot, and then stepped back a few steps to stand still. The whole action showed a calmness. Obviously, he was not booed by the sky now. disturbed by the sound.With a whistle, Ballack ran up and hit the goal!
"yes!!!!" Buffon, who was waiting in full force, was not able to help the Italian get a good start. He regrettably guessed the wrong direction, while Kahn on the other side jumped up and uttered his own ecstasy towards the stands Roaring, the Germans took the lead!Ballack was relieved after the goal, but he didn't show any relief, but trotted back to the queue.
Then it was Vieri's turn to play. The Apennine tank sang songs and blended with his teammates. He walked to the penalty area and placed the ball before smiling eagerly at Kahn.The world's top center, Inter Milan's hero, has already scored goals. Now facing Kahn will not only not make him nervous, but it will arouse Vieri's bloodlust. When the referee blew the whistle He couldn't wait to rush forward and pierced Kahn's ten fingers with a burst shot!
Italy 1:1 Germany!
"Roar!!!!!!" This time, Vieri let out a crazier roar than Kahn's before, like a tiger roaring down the mountain forest!
Seeing this scene, Zoff clenched his fists and applauded loudly. How could the head coach not love such a player?
With Vieri's departure, the pressure came to Kyle. The new Dortmund star looked a little nervous facing Buffon. Seeing this situation, the Italian fans in the stands roared like chicken blood Cursing, hoping to find a breakthrough from Kyle, Buffon also followed Zoff's face-to-face instruction and made some small moves to interfere with Kyle.
Seeing Kyle's cautious and cautious glances at the upper left corner of the goal from time to time, Buffon quickly made up his mind about the direction of his save. When the whistle blew, he jumped out, and the Italian fans in the stands also Standing up subconsciously, they expected Kyle to miss the penalty!But this time the Italian was tricked. The new Dortmund star actually used a simple push and shot in the opposite direction to score the penalty that was pinned on thousands of hopes.
After seeing that his acting skills successfully deceived Buffon, Kyle showed disdain, and seemed to want to use this to anger Buffon, but Buffon quickly adjusted his mentality and scored the Italian No. 2 in Montella. Two penalty kicks, and when the score was tied at 2:[-], he was back in front of the goal.
