King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 405

Chapter 4 and Five

In the first 15 minutes of extra time, both sides had a shot that hit the goal frame. Drogba's header hit the crossbar, and Baraja's long-range shot was also blocked by the post. Neither team scored. In the lead, it can be regarded as evenly divided.

The short intervals in between were taken up by physiotherapy and hydration, and the players' brains had begun to go blank, such as the young Muhammad and Dani Alves. This was their first major competition experience, and it was inevitable to be a little nervous.

In the next 15 minutes, Muhammad, who had a short-circuited head, was sent off by the referee Collina because he tackled Overmars who was advancing with the ball from behind.

This changed the course of the game to a certain extent. Notts County's advantage began to show, and they did play a few more threatening attacks. Ronaldinho's header was stuck on the goal line Bonny shoveled the baseline.

In 116 minutes, Edgar Davis pulled Vicente down in Valencia's counterattack, two yellows turned one red, and he was also sent off.

The two teams returned to the same starting line again, and Notts County also shrunk their defense. Without Edgar Davis, Notts County's defense in the middle is still very empty. Valencia must not let Valencia take advantage of the unstable formation Chance, score the lore goal!
In the last few minutes, the conservative Valencia and Notts County did not play a smooth offensive cooperation. Notts County even played a backcourt. It seemed that the game was going to be dragged into a penalty shootout. .

"Backdog!"

The dissatisfied Valencia fans seem to have seen Barcelona in La Liga. This Notts County team is even worse. What corner ball protection and birdcage tactics are used. How can people run fast with the ball? The exhausted Valencians exhausted their energy even faster.

The score on the field has never been rewritten, and the two teams have also entered a ten-man-to-ten penalty shootout.

"Fuck, it's exciting, my brothers!"

Liu Zhi, who hadn't appeared in the Notts County fan team for a long time, appeared in Gothenburg again, but there were many guys around his age with cynical faces and uniform haircuts The Notts County jersey, no matter how you look at it, feels awkward.

"Big Liuer, is this team our Chinese team?"

"That's right, I've been here to observe for a long time. The owner of Notts County is Wei Xun, and he is backed by Shengfei Group. Lao Qin, you said that we can get a group of young players and send them to Notts County to play a wave How much money can you earn from the Premier League and the UEFA Cup if you resell them and sell them back to China?"

"Tens of thousands of soft sister coins and millions of pounds! How much money do you say?"

"Hahahaha!"

Perhaps Liu Zhi and the others felt that this business was too lucrative, so they laughed so hard.

As for Wei Xun, who was standing with the Notts County coach and players, he obviously didn't realize that his club had already been arranged by a group of second-generation ancestors from China to make money.

Bald Collina pulled out his side pick again, Edwin van der Sar helped Notts County pick the Notts County fans' side of the goal, and Valencia needed to take the penalty first.

After seeing the captain pick a side to win, the Notts County fans have completed a quick tandem. The strong combatants have all concentrated behind the goal. When the Valencia players take a penalty kick, it is their time to play!
Notts County has already practiced penalty kicks in training, so the order of the team's penalty kicks is fixed. After Davis is sent off, it can be postponed directly.

On Valencia's side, if Muhammad was not sent off, he would be the last one to take the penalty. Now that he is sent off, there is nothing to do with him.

Baraja, who was originally the first to take the penalty, gave up the first free throw after exchanging a few words with Benitez, and Italian defender Carboni took the lead.

Players from the two teams stood on both sides of the center circle. The players from Notts County were shoulder to shoulder and their hands were connected together, silently watching the opponent's free throw. Only this guy, Sneijder, dared not look at it. Look, leave the back to Lao Fan.

On the sidelines bench, players, coaches and players also lined up spontaneously, their eyes fixed on the direction of the goal.

"No penalty! No penalty! No penalty!"

The Notts County fans have already started clamoring, and Dutch veteran Van der Sar is also standing on the goal line.

Caboni was a difficult man, and he was very good at taking set kicks. Van der Sar quietly stood on the goal line, waiting for the Italian referee's whistle.

The 39-year-old Caboni resolutely took over the important task of taking the first penalty kick under the hesitation of Baraja. At this age, Caboni's heart has long been calm. Ball and goal!
"Beep..."

After a long whistle, Caboni's pace was very slow. He shot the ball to the lower right corner of the goal, but the angle of the ball was not opened, and Van der Sar also rushed in the right direction!

No one thought that the 39-year-old veteran would miss a penalty kick at the beginning of the game.

"yeah!"

Van der Sar firmly controlled the ball in his arms, then stood up and shouted, and then kissed his left hand wrapped in the glove!
"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

The Notts County bench, which was originally in a neat formation, suddenly became chaotic. Everyone was looking for someone to celebrate and release their tension. Needless to say, the Notts County fans in the stands were overjoyed. .

"Carboni pushed the ball with the arch of his foot, but he didn't hit it well. It hit Van der Sar's arm. It's no wonder that the Dutchman kissed his left hand after saving a penalty. "

"Yes, we can see that after Caboni missed a penalty kick, several Valencia players took the initiative to go forward to hug Caboni and take the first penalty. Sometimes, the pressure is really too great Alright! Let's see what happens to the first Notts County player to take the penalty!"

Notts County's first penalty was the Brazilian international and superstar Rivaldo.

Canizares handed the ball to Rivaldo with his own hands. The Brazilian didn't even say thank you. He took the ball and stepped on the turf under his feet.

The Spanish goalkeeper stands on the goal line, arms outstretched, ready to go.

Rivaldo was also unambiguous. After the referee blew his whistle, he kicked directly to the upper left corner of the goal. Canizares judged the wrong direction and naturally it was impossible to save Rivaldo's penalty.

After the Brazilian made the free throw, there was no close-up excitement on his face. When he walked up to his teammates, he was greeted one by one by his teammates and smiled.

"Rivaldo's penalty kick was still very easy. His run-up was a little fake, and the angle was not very tricky, but he successfully misled the goalkeeper."

After Van der Sar played again, he stepped on the turf along the goal line, and then handed the ball to Albelda, who took Valencia's second penalty kick.

Both of them were very straightforward. Albelda sniffed hard, leaned over, made a short run, and kicked in the opposite direction of Van der Sar.

Two to two!
Notts County's second penalty was Ronaldinho, and Canizares started jumping up and down the goal line, trying to disturb the Brazilian's mind, but Ronaldinho didn't care about him, relying on the fake ankle The action, after Canizares moved, easily pushed in the opposite direction.

Three to two, Notts County leads!
Valencia and Notts County's No.3 players were Mista and Overmars who took the penalty. Both of them successfully fooled the goalkeeper and scored a penalty kick. After three rounds, Notts County's total score Four to three, temporarily ahead of Valencia.

In the fourth round, Valencia's offensive core Baraja finally played.

After the Spaniard put the ball in place, he carefully measured the distance and calculated his run-up position. He took a last look at Van der Sar in front of the goal, who was sitting like an old monk, and started his run-up.

Adding a super long run-up was not enough. In order to make his penalty kick more confusing, Baraja also swayed from side to side during the march, and finally he kicked to his left.

Van der Sar judged the right direction and successfully saved Baraja's penalty. The Spanish international made a half-high penalty this time. This is the goalkeeper's favorite shooting angle, no pressure!
"Van der Sar did a great job! He saved two Valencia penalties!"

"Yes, we saw the Dutchman was also very excited, he beat his chest with his right fist, which is his beloved Notts County team crest!"

The Notts County players on the bench have long been out of shape. As long as the next goal can be scored, Notts County will win the UEFA Cup in the [-]-[-] season!
Drogba played, the Valencia fans in the stands were already crying, and Valencia coach Benitez was already sitting on a chair, covering his face with his hands, he really didn’t dare to watch, the taste of failure, It's too uncomfortable.

The Valencia goalkeeper is still making a fuss on the goal line, but the Ivorians don't pay attention to any mental state at all. I just believe in one sentence, work hard to make miracles!

"Beep..."

After the whistle, Drogba kicked the ball to his left after a short run-up. Canizares judged the right direction and also touched the ball, but the game is still over!
Drogba's penalty hit the hands of Canizares and still bounced into the net!
"The game is over!"

Didier Drogba slid on his knees and rushed towards the goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar who was waiting on the baseline. When the two hugged together, the players in the middle circle and the Notts County man on the bench all rushed over!
"Ahh! Didier!"

"Come on, we are champions! Champions!"

Franck Ribery and Robben carried the two injuries of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lichtsteiner into the crowd. Several veterans of the team were also crying with joy on the bench. , Coming to Notts County is really a beautiful choice.

Unlike the elation of the Notts County people, on the other side of the pitch, there is a lost Spaniard.

Valencia's goalkeeper Canizares sat in the goal, shaking his head again and again, the water on his face, I don't know if it was sweat or tears.

Albelda, the captain of the "Bat Legion", applauded the Valencia fans in the stands, and the eyes of the Spanish international began to rise.

Vicente took off his jersey, walked under the stands of the Valencia fans, and gave it to a crying little boy in his mother's arms.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Anyway, Notts County fans are happy. Their home team won the first intercontinental championship in team history. Wei Xun and Guardiola led Notts County to create a new chapter in history!
