Chapter 631

The process of overtime was too intense. From Pato taking the lead for Milan, to Piacenza's indiscriminate attacking players finally equalizing the score, there was not much time for dead balls in the whole process.

In the hands of Conte, there are not many players who can be used to replace the players who play a role. When he saw that every member of the team did not have any cramps or inability to play, Piacenza naturally did not use the last substitution.

This would have become a factor for the media to criticize Conte after the game. After all, the head coach who has played overtime but only made two substitutions is somewhat unqualified.

However, when Pughioni held on for a long time under the massage of the team doctor but fell to the ground with his legs in his arms the moment he stood up, the substitution quota that Conte had been clinging to became a life-saving straw.

"Pugioni is really cramping. Conte is communicating with the referee on duty. It can be seen that Maurantanio on the sidelines has begun to warm up temporarily!"

There are signs of things happening, but Liu Jianhong still sweated for Piacenza when it happened: "Piacenza still has a substitution quota, it seems that they also have to make a decision to replace the goalkeeper."

It is no problem to change the goalkeeper before the start of the penalty shootout. When the referee determined that the cramped Pugioni could no longer continue the game, he signaled the fourth official to temporarily raise the notice board.

"give it to you!"

The two goalkeepers bumped into each other hard at the moment they met. At this moment, they were no longer competitors in the same position, but fighters who wanted to win for the team.

When the big brother Tanio patted Pugioni on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look, Pugioni covered his face and was helped by the team doctor to rest off the field.

On the court, the order of penalty kicks arranged by the two coaches has already been given to the referee. On Piacenza's side, Conte selected the five players with the most superb penalty kick skills to become the starting group according to the team's usual penalty kick training.

From the first to the fifth are Gilardino, Ganso, Nainggolan, Aubameyang and Liu Feng, starting from the team's most experienced striker and ending with the team's most dazzling and reliable soul. At least in the first five, Conte does not think the team will lose to Milan.

"Okay, both teams have already surrounded the penalty area. AC Milan will take the lead in taking the penalty kick. The first player they send is - Pirlo!"

Packed up his mood, when Pirlo was standing in front of the penalty kick as the No.1 free thrower, Liu Jianhong once again concentrated on the scene of the game: "The referee blew the whistle, run up, kick the ball, a half-high ball from the left, Tanio made a throw in the wrong direction, and Milan took the next pass first!"

The skillful Pirlo hit the penalty calmly and calmly. He didn't look too excited, but smiled and hugged his teammates rushing from behind.

Soon, Gilardino also stood in front of the penalty spot. This old Milan player is very familiar with every part of San Siro, including the goal he is facing at this moment, and the San Siro Milan fans also surprisingly did not boo at this moment.

"A run-up, the ball was drawn, a powerful high-altitude ball, the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!!! 1-1."

The two most stable players of the two teams made hits one after another, which greatly encouraged the players, and then Seedorf and Ganso, who stood in front of the ball one after another, also made hits one after another.

Although Abbiati and Maurantanio tried their best, they never touched the ball.

But then, the first exciting scene of this penalty shootout appeared.

Since Inzaghi also had signs of cramping after overtime, Leonardo was not included in the starting five. Therefore, the third player standing in front of the ball on Milan's side was the team's center Huntelaar.

The center, known as "Leud Ruud II", did not show too much tension when standing in front of the penalty spot. After the referee whistled, he ran up and kicked the ball step by step.

But the ball he shot was completely different from his calm appearance, with insufficient strength and too slow speed, which gave Maurantanio, who was highly concentrated, enough time to react.

"Hunterel shot and the ball was saved! Maurantanio, he judged the right direction, the goalkeeper made a contribution!!!!"

In an instant, all the Piacenza players swarmed and hugged their goalkeeper, and the excited expressions were clearly displayed on everyone's faces. In contrast, the dejected Huntelaar and the Milan players looked very disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, Nainggolan standing in front of the ball did not put more pressure on the Piacenza people. He sent the ball into the goal with an explosive shot and did not even give Abbiati room to react.

"2-3, after three rounds of penalty kicks, Piacenza has taken a one-goal lead, and the balance of victory is tilting!"

Such a tense atmosphere naturally produced tremendous pressure. If Milan's fourth penalty kick fails, it is likely to directly determine the outcome of the game.

However, Nesta, standing in front of the penalty spot on behalf of Milan, did not show any timidity. When the whistle sounded, he sent the ball into the goal guarded by Tanio with a precise push.

"Nesta's performance is quite stable, such a Zhenhaishenzhen is a treasure in any team."

Liu Jianhong in the commentary room kept nodding when he saw this scene: "He helped the team maintain the suspense of victory."

Soon, Aubameyang also stood in front of the penalty spot.

Unlike his former team-mates, the young striker's nervousness was palpable amidst the boos at the San Siro, culminating in a yell at a glaring Abbiati in front of goal.

Seeing this scene, all the people in Piacenza couldn't help but thump in their hearts, and this thump turned into a loud noise when the ball hit the crossbar.

"Aubameyang hit the iron, his shooting movement is obviously a little deformed!"

Liu Jianhong is definitely not the only one who regrets that such a crucial goal was not scored, but on the court, when Aubameyang covered his face and walked back, his teammates immediately hugged him.

"Pierre, it's all right, it's just a level."

As the captain, Liu Feng took the lead in patting Aubameyang on the shoulder, and then Nainggolan, Ganso and others also gave him a few reassuring hugs one after another, which gave the young genius a lot of comfort in his heart.

However, the penalty shootout is still going on. When the two teams drew 3-3 after four rounds of penalty kicks, the fifth round of penalty kicks became a crucial part.

　Chapter 1 here!I had plantar warts on my feet and went to the hospital for dry ice treatment. It was so painful, I guess it would take half a month to heal.At first I thought it was the calluses that were worn out, but later it got worse and worse. Everyone must wash their feet frequently after playing football.
