I am the king of football

Chapter 355: The One Who Wants to Wear the Crown

"boom!"

Huge boos rang out from the sky above Old Trafford. The position change and sudden pass of Manchester United's front trident were exquisite. But at the last step, when Hernandez was about to shoot alone, Casillas, the opponent who had repeatedly ruined the mood of the Red Devils fans, appeared again.

This time, there was no way the Manchester United fans at the scene would let this thorn in their eyes go. They started shouting loudly with huge boos as the background.

"Send him off! Send him off! Send him off!!!"

The loud roar declared everyone's anger, and the ears of the referee on duty were almost filled with this angry roar.

"A red card, a direct red card! The referee's decision was very accurate. At the last moment of such an important match, it takes a lot of courage to directly show a red card."

Zhan Jun nodded repeatedly as he looked at the penalty. In the last second, he really thought that Hernandez would once again become the team's substitute surprise player to help the team win the game. Casillas' operation might be another way to turn the tide for Real Madrid, but it would really be a disappointment for all the spectators and Manchester United.

When Casillas stood up and saw the red card shown to him by the referee, he did not argue much. He had already anticipated this scene when he rushed out resolutely.

As the team's goalkeeper, as long as you stand in front of the goal, you must do your best to block all shots that may send the ball into the goal behind you until you can no longer fight.

When his teammates came over with concern, Casillas, who was wearing the captain's armband in this game, took it off and handed it solemnly to Ronaldo who was walking over.

This season, Casillas is the undisputed first captain of the team. When he is not present, Ramos serves as the second captain. Now that both the first and second captains are not present, the team's rising leader Cristiano Ronaldo can take on the important task.

"Red Dot Package, Manchester United got a penalty kick opportunity in the final stage of extra time. This is a perfect opportunity to change the score!"

In the 1th minute of extra time, a penalty kick was placed in front of the entire Manchester United team. After a fierce battle with the opponent, the score of their game was still 2-. If they had not won the first round, they might have to accept defeat at this moment.

"Manchester United, penalty!"

The referee on the field began to ask Manchester United to determine the players for the penalty kick. At this moment, all the Red Devils players came up, except De Gea who stood in front of his own goal to prevent the opponent from counterattacking after saving the penalty kick.

Everyone looked at each other and finally focused their attention on Qin Hu and Van Persie. These two strongest stars on the team's front line will undoubtedly take on the responsibility of scoring the key ball at the last moment.

"With great power comes great responsibility, and this is true in basketball and football. Everyone knows that a buzzer beater at this moment is the most challenging for a player's ability and mental quality. If the penalty is scored, everyone is happy. If the player misses, he will become the sinner of the team."

Sitting in the commentary booth and telling the story, Zhan Jun couldn't help but recall those classic penalty misses in football.

"In this regard, Italy's melancholic prince Roberto Baggio is a typical representative. He missed the crucial penalty in the penalty shootout between Italy and Brazil in the 1994 World Cup final, and ultimately missed the chance to lift the World Cup trophy. That penalty is still mentioned by people today, and Baggio once became Italy's sinner."

Of course, the penalty kick that determines the outcome of the game at this moment may not be that important, but once the player taking the penalty misses, the two sides will enter a penalty shootout.

As we all know, penalty shootouts are very dependent on the mental state of the players. It is easy to imagine what kind of impact Manchester United will have when they face a penalty shootout after having just missed a penalty that could have ended the game.

"Let me do it."

After looking at Van Persie, Qin Hu felt the veteran's tremor, which was the sequelae of Van Persie's repeated failures to reach a higher position in the Champions League at Arsenal.

Compared to the past few years when people jokingly called Real Madrid the 16th place in the Champions League, Arsenal are the team that can really prepare to go home as long as they qualify from the group stage. Since the Champions League final many years ago, Arsenal seems to have lost their luck in the Champions League, and they have failed to qualify every time.

As Arsenal's standard-bearer in the post-Henry era, Van Persie has experienced too many scenes like this, which has put him under extreme psychological pressure at the moment, and even his hands are shaking slightly.

Qin Hu naturally noticed this. According to the team's designated first penalty taker, Van Persie would take the penalty, but since Qin Hu emerged, Ferguson tacitly assumed that he had the right to cut in line.

Now, seeing that Van Persie was not in good shape, Qin Hu didn't waste any more time. He hugged Van Persie tightly, and after the other party nodded, he took the ball and walked towards the penalty spot.

"It's Qin Hu. He came to the penalty spot and stood up again at the critical moment. As the hero who helped the team win the game in the first round, he has another chance to kill the opponent. Can he seize it again this time?" Looking at the calm Qin Hu in the close-up on the court, Zhan Jun felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate. Countless Red Devils fans had the same feeling as him.

After experiencing countless ups and downs in this season, if we really need to choose someone to turn the tide when the team is in trouble, then it is certain that everyone will choose Qin.

Now that Qin Zhen has stood up, what else is there to say?
"Qin! Qin! Qin!"

"Overlord! Overlord! Overlord!"

Uniform shouts rang out, and fans from all over the world who were watching the game on site sang praises to Qin Hu who was standing there quietly. All their hopes were focused on Qin Hu.

Whoever wishes to wear the crown must bear its weight. The invisible burden fell heavily on Qin Hu's shoulders. If he advances, he will be crowned king; if he fails, he will be doomed. This is exactly the situation.

After Manchester United determined the penalty taker, Real Madrid also determined the temporary goalkeeper who would replace Casillas in front of the goal in the absence of substitutions.

As the score was still in a stalemate, Real Madrid, who was good at quick counterattacks, did not give up the possible counterattack opportunities. The four superstars in the front court did not come back but stayed in the midfield waiting for a super long pass from behind. Xabi Alonso sat in the midfield and acted as a booster at any time.

In this case, the candidate for the guest goalkeeper can only be selected from the back line, so the monk Pepe, who is 1.88 meters tall and has rich competition experience, stepped forward. After quickly putting on the goalkeeper uniform and gloves, the final duel will start between him and Qin Hu.

"Pepe's posture is very standard, and his half-squatting position allows him to pounce in any direction at any time."

The wind gradually froze, and the two players stared at each other. At Old Trafford, some fans with poor psychological quality even covered their eyes and dared not to look at the situation on the field.

Everyone was ready and the referee blew the whistle.

"Shhh!!!"

There was nothing left to wait for. In the solemn atmosphere, Qin Hu ran towards the ball in front of him with firm steps.

"Take two steps to run, put your left foot on the ground and shoot!!!"

"Oh!"

In the close-up shot, the bulging muscles on Qin Hu's right leg hinted at how powerful the shot was.

But even so, Pepe was fully focused and still judged the right direction with the help of a defender's sixth sense.

"Pepe dived, he chose the right direction, but the ball was too fast!!!"

"Shu~"

It was like a hurricane blowing through Real Madrid's goal. Pepe's fingertips only had time to feel the turbulence of the air, and when he landed, everything was over.

"The ball is in! It's in! It's in!!! The shot flew into the goal right next to the left post! Qin Hu withstood the pressure and scored this crucial goal, 4-3! In the last moments of overtime, Manchester United changed the score again!!!"

"boom!!!"

The entire Old Trafford stadium erupted again.
