Chapter 423 The Miracle of Not Giving Up
Chapter 423 The Miracle of Not Giving Up
Whenever Bell breaks through with the ball, they can defend as much as they can, and when they can't defend, they can also choose to shovel and foul to keep Bell out of the penalty area.
Due to the fear of injury, under the fierce targeted defense of the opponent, Bell had to give up the football he was about to chase several times and dodge in embarrassment.
When the game progressed to the second half, Bell's physical fitness declined very quickly.
Recently, he has played very frequently, and today he has a lot of physical confrontation, which naturally speeds up his physical consumption.
With the decline in physical fitness and the opponent's fierce shoveling, Bell's kick became more and more difficult, and he couldn't feel the feeling of shooting.
Arsenal's offensive firepower today mainly relies on Bale.There is a problem with Bell's state, and Arsenal's offense is naturally greatly reduced.
Arsenal's offensive firepower is greatly reduced, and the defensive pressure of Queens Park Rangers will be greatly reduced. Naturally, they will be able to invest more troops to further enhance the team's offensive.
In this way, Arsenal will naturally be more passive.
Bell's flameout made the Gunners almost lose hope of exceeding the score.The increase in defensive pressure has made their defense line precarious, and the goal is in danger of being breached at any time.
Are you going to lose today?
Although I really don't want to lose, the situation is stronger than people.
Right now, let alone scoring a goal and exceeding the score, even if they want to keep the score of the tie, Arsenal seem to have to ask their opponents if they agree.
Amidst the deafening cheers of the fans, Queens Park Rangers launched a wave of raids into the hinterland of Arsenal's penalty area, killing the Gunners' defense line crumbling, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time.
In the 71st minute, Granero picked a pass from the penalty area, Park Ji-sung advanced and volleyed vigorously, the football brushed against the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line dangerously.
Three minutes later, Cisse succeeded in countering offside, and quickly broke into the penalty area after getting the ball, forming a single-handed ball opportunity.
Cisse broke into the penalty area, Szczesny chose to attack.
In the face of Szczesny's forward save, Cisse calmly made a feint, pretending to shoot to deceive Szczesny, and then slammed Szczesny past him.
After losing his defensive position, Szczesny made a helpless choice.
He threw his hands on Cisse.
If you don't pounce on Cisse, then the opponent will definitely score an empty goal; but what about pounce on Cisse?
Red card and penalty kick!
The referee did not hesitate at all, he made the penalty almost immediately.
With the last ten minutes of the game still to come, Arsenal will have to play with ten men.Moreover, they were also awarded a penalty kick.
What hope is there for such a game? !
After the referee made the penalty, Queens Park Rangers' home stadium, Loftus Road Stadium, suddenly burst into joy.At the same time, in another venue, Manchester City supporters were also rejoicing.
Now, Manchester City is still 3:1 leader Swansea.In another game at the same time, Manchester United fell behind Chelsea 0:1.
If Queens Park Rangers can help Manchester City and beat Arsenal 3:2, then Manchester City is only a little away from winning the Premier League for the second time!
Can Mancini's team have the last laugh?
What an exciting moment!
Opportunities always come after the storm
Looking up at the bright and dazzling red card, Szczesny lowered his head in frustration
Although the team is still appealing for him, Szczesny knows that the referee's penalty is not wrong, it is indeed a foul action of a red card and a penalty kick. . did.
Lowering his head, Szczesny took off his gloves and walked silently to the sidelines.
Although he has tried his best, it is a pity that today's game obviously does not belong to him.
Facing the opponent's shot, he tried his best to save, but was still penetrated by the opponent twice through the gate behind him.What is even more tragic is that just now, due to a foul in the penalty area, he not only gave his opponent a penalty kick, but was also expelled by the referee with a red card.
Everything is going wrong!
This encounter made Szczesny very frustrated.
However, depression is depression, but Szczesny has no regrets.
Two goals were scored, it was not because he made any mistakes, but because it was too difficult to save and his current ability is not enough.
He is still young, after several years of training and learning, especially under Buffon's words and deeds, he still has room for further growth.If you can't block such a difficult shot now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to in the future.
As for the red card plus a penalty kick, there is absolutely no way to do it.
After being cheated by Cisse, if he is not pulled, he will inevitably score an empty goal with ease.
Had Cisse scored an empty goal, Arsenal would now be 23 behind.
If the score falls behind, Arsenal will be more passive than they are now.
The game only lasted 15 minutes, and the top scorer Li Yuxin was injured and was not present. If the score is still one goal behind, maybe the Gunners will really collapse in this away game and lose a point.
Therefore, Szczesny can only be the second hand to pull to Cisse, first to prevent the goal of the Queen's Park Rangers.
There is no way to do this.
Although Szczesny is not a top-notch goalkeeper, he is still one of the best among young goalkeepers.Faced with a situation where he has to foul, even if he will be sent off, he will still choose to foul without hesitation.
In addition to preventing Cisse's goal, Szczesny has another very important reason.
That is, Buffon!
Szczesny knew that Arsenal still had one last substitution.If he is sent off, the coach will definitely replace a player with Buffon and let the Italian goalkeeper return to the lineup.
As a world-famous goalkeeper, countless people used to think that Buffon was not good at saving penalties. As one of the best goalkeepers in the past 20 years and even in the entire football history, Italian goalkeeper Buffon often appeared in various topics discussed by fans.As for the Juventus captain, many people have the impression that he is "not good at penalty kicks". It seems that this is his major shortcoming.In the competition with other goalkeepers of the same era, Buffon's ability to save penalties has also been repeatedly mentioned.
In fact, Buffon's performance in the face of penalties is quite good.Buffon is not a goalkeeper who is extremely good at saving penalty kicks like Diego Alves, Cesar, and Handanovic, but he is by no means bad at saving penalty kicks, and he is not afraid of facing penalty kicks.In an interview with "Sky Sports", he thought it was unfair to question his ability to save penalty kicks: "Such a statement humiliates me, and I really don't want to hear these words again. I participated in five penalty shootouts in the national team and won three times; I saved one penalty each in the World Cup and the European Cup. I don't know how many Italian national teams have done this."
The first reason: there is an eight-year "penalty dry season".During the period from the summer of 2003 to the summer of 2011, Buffon faced 49 penalties and only defended 8 of them. The success rate was almost half that of the other two periods.It was during this period that Buffon suffered three more serious injuries: the Berlusconi Cup collision with Kaka in 05 resulted in a shoulder dislocation, the thigh muscle was torn in the second half of 08, and the lumbar disc herniated in 10 years.Affected by injuries, Buffon's performance before the penalty spot was naturally not so good.
From Martinetti at the end of 2006 to Giovinco in September 2011, Buffon faced 9 consecutive penalties at Juventus and did nothing.On the other hand, as Juventus was relegated to Serie B and the Italian national team began to decline, Buffon's status as the world's number one goalkeeper has been strongly challenged.With frequent comparisons to Petr Cech and Iker Casillas, his poor performance against penalties can easily be magnified.Between the two World Cups in Germany and South Africa, the only thing Buffon is remembered before the penalty spot is that he saved Mutu's penalty in the 13 European Cup, which laid the foundation for Italy to qualify for the final group.
Mentioning Mutu's penalty kick leads to the second reason for the saying "not good at penalty kicks"-whenever Buffon has a critical point-saving performance, this performance will always be quickly overshadowed by the penalty penalty.What does that mean?Take the penalty saved by Mutu in the European Cup as an example: Buffon saved the penalty at that time, ensuring that the Italian team would not be eliminated in advance after a two-game losing streak.But in the subsequent quarter-finals of the European Cup, Buffon lost to Casillas in a penalty shootout.Therefore, although people still know that Buffon saved Mutu's penalty kick, there are probably more people who remember that he lost to Cassie afterwards.The same thing happened in the Champions League in the 1-4 season-Buffon saved Figo's penalty in the semi-finals and helped Juventus reach the final, but he lost to Dida in the final.
The third reason is naturally the lack of impressive iconic performances with a strong personal imprint in the competition.This kind of performance can easily form the impression of a "penalty goalkeeper", but a wonderful performance in a penalty shootout does not necessarily mean that the goalkeeper is very good at saving penalties.The most typical example in this regard is Toldo, who defended five of six penalty kicks in the semi-finals of the European Cup in 2000.But looking at the success rate of his career, Toldo is actually three or four percentage points lower than Buffon.On this issue, Buffon is very similar to the old goalkeeper Pagliuca who holds the record for the number of penalty kicks saved in Serie A. The latter's overall success rate of saving points is also higher than that of Toldo, but he has never heard of Pagliuca. The highlight moment of the penalty shootout.In the few penalty shootouts that Pagliuca has participated in, he has won almost every time, but the team always loses.For Buffon, who is known for his stable state, it is indeed not his characteristic to suddenly "open up" in a penalty shootout in a major competition.
It was precisely because of his trust in Buffon's penalty kick stunt that Szczesny didn't hesitate at all when he threw Cisse.
He believes that if he does not foul, the opponent will definitely score; and if he fouls, waiting for Buffon to play, even if the opponent gets a penalty, they may not be able to score!
"He will definitely save the ball for me, and won't let me be sent off in vain!"
Looking up at Buffon who was warming up on the sidelines and preparing to play, Szczesny's dejected eyes suddenly showed a strange look.
In the 77th minute, the fourth official on the sidelines raised Arsenal's substitution card.
Exit Podolski; Buffon, !
Podolski froze for a while, then quickly trotted to the sidelines.
The camera lens moved quickly, quickly focusing on the gunner's substitution adjustment
Buffon opened his arms, hugged Podolski, encouraged each other, and then walked quickly to his very familiar position, in front of Arsenal's goal!
At this moment, everyone is looking at him.
This game, which should have been without any suspense, seemed to have suspense again at this moment in Buffon's field!
Cisse walked towards the penalty spot, he kissed the football, put the football on the penalty spot solemnly, and then stepped back step by step, without taking his eyes off the football for a moment, as affectionate as saying goodbye to a close lover.
The romance of the French, sometimes it really makes people get goosebumps...
Buffon pouted, not paying attention to Cisse's move.He just hopped casually on the goal line, shook his hands, and continued his warm-up exercise.
Due to the temporary field, he is not yet fully ready for the game.
In order not to strain the muscles again when making the next save, Buffon needs to excite all the muscles in his body so that he can enter the battle state faster.
Soon, Cisse was ready for a free throw, and Buffon also bowed his waist, ready to block the opponent's penalty this time.
The penalty shootout is finally about to begin!
Cisse glanced at Buffon, then started to run.
Run forward, swing your legs!
Before taking the shot, Cisse quickly glanced at the right corner of the goal, then raised his legs high, and his body was slightly flattened.
Is it about to push the goal corner?
From Cisse's body movements, Buffon got such a signal.He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then quickly took a small step to the left side of his body.
boom!
Cisse kicked the football quickly, and the football immediately flew up.
call!
The football flew out in a half-moon arc, straight, straight down, and the direction was not the right corner of the goal!
At the moment of touching the ball, Cisse leaned back quickly, shook his ankle quickly, and picked the ball to the middle of the penalty area.The series of actions before the shot are all feints, and Cisse's real goal is the middle of the penalty area!
He kicked a very coquettish spoon penalty kick!
Under the pressure of the game, when the penalty kick is likely to determine the outcome of the whole game, who would have imagined that Cisse dared to use a spoon to take a penalty kick? !
"Oh!"
The fans exclaimed!Even the narrator is exclaiming!
Obviously, Cisse's penalty kick exceeded their expectations!
This is a brilliant penalty kick!
The outstretched left foot quickly retracted, and his body was straight. Buffon did not rush to the right side of the goal as people expected, but firmly guarded the middle of the penalty area!
Cisse almost fooled everyone, but unfortunately, he didn't fool the most important person!
Buffon was not fooled by him!
Cisse thought he had a wonderful idea—no one could guess it, but Buffon had been waiting for him for a long time!
Standing in place with his hands raised, Buffon took off Cisse's penalty very easily, just like receiving a return pass from the team!
call!
Loftus Road Stadium exclaimed!
"Cisse actually shot a penalty kick with a spoon. It's unbelievable! However, what's even more incredible is that Buffon actually guessed it, he actually guessed it! My God, did he have a prophecy and knew that Cisse would kick like this? This is really amazing, amazing!"
The narrators all exclaimed.
"Under his protection, the Gunner will always be indestructible!"
Sky Sports' Neville once again dedicated his praise to this outstanding goalkeeper.
"However, this is only for the Gunners to temporarily hold a tie. Although they will not be behind the score yet, there are still nearly 9 minutes in the game. In the remaining game time, Queens Park Rangers still have a chance to defeat the 10-man Arsenal and win the game."
"Also, even with Buffon's magic, Arsenal can keep the draw and get a point, which is not enough."
"In another game that kicked off at the same time, Manchester City still led Swansea 3-1. It seems that they are only a few minutes away from winning their opponents."
"If City beat Swansea and the Gunners draw with Queens Park Rangers, City would have 81 points to Arsenal's 79."
"It's not that I'm pessimistic. Arsenal really have no chance to recover the three points in the last two rounds. Even if Arsenal draw with Queens Park Rangers, their chances of winning this season will still be very slim..."
Obviously, Neville is not optimistic about Arsenal.
But, soon, his expression became excited again!
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! Buffon quickly took the goal kick, and the football passed through the entire half of the field, and it was accurately passed to the front of the team's offensive players!"
"Bale goes fast, he gets away from the QPR defender!"
