Chapter 260 First Appearance

Chapter 260 Second Appearance

Hearing Klopp's words, many players were a little puzzled.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Peng is currently the player with the best foot skills in the team, and his shooting skills are the best in the team, so it is a bit "unqualified" to let him play second.

Although the second and third players who take the penalty have the least pressure compared to other positions, but based on their usual understanding of Shen Peng, Shen Peng's psychological quality should be very good, so it is entirely possible for him to play a more important position, such as the fifth or fourth.

Klopp saw what the players were thinking and didn't explain too much, because Shen Peng was still young, and he was really afraid that Shen Peng would make a mistake in a key position. For example, when the fourth or fifth ball was missed, it often happened that the team would lose the game if they missed the penalty. One can imagine the pressure at that time, especially on such an important occasion as the Champions League final.

Once Shen Peng misses the penalty, it may have a great impact on his future career. Klopp does not want a rising star in the football world to decline, so he let Shen Peng play in a position with less pressure.

Shen Peng himself doesn't care, it doesn't matter how many times he kicks.

"Okay, now I will announce the third one, Shinji Kagawa."

Shinji Kagawa nodded excitedly, his eyes were full of surprises. This position is also not under much pressure. The head coach's letting him play is also a kind of trust in him.

Next, are the two most important positions.

"Fourth, Bowser."

Kuba is relatively old, and in this situation, his mental quality is relatively better, and he comes off the bench later and has more physical fitness, so it is the best choice to put him in the fourth place.

"The last one..." Klopp scanned the crowd before saying, "Langerak!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard that Langerak was their goalkeeper, and he was the fifth to take the penalty.

"Langerak, as a goalkeeper, is very familiar with the points that the goalkeeper needs to pay attention to in penalty shootouts, and his shooting skills are also good, so I chose to let him take the fifth goal."

……

At the same time, on the other side, Enrique looked bitterly at the row of players in front of him.

Barcelona haven't taken a penalty in a major competition for many years.

Speaking of which, they still have a dark history, that is, in the penalty shootout against Steaua Bucharest in the 1986 UEFA Champions League final, all the first four penalty kicks were missed, but the opponent had already scored two goals, and there was no need to kick the last goal, so they directly lost the penalty shootout [-]-[-].

Facing a team with such a dark history, Enrique really has no confidence in the upcoming penalty shootout.

But fortunately, this group of players is completely different from the group 30 years ago, and they still have a chance for a penalty shootout.

Of course, they haven't played a penalty shootout for a long time, and naturally they haven't practiced penalty kicks before the game, so how they will play at that time depends entirely on the performance of these players.

According to the laws of the league, Barcelona missed a lot of penalty kicks...

In the end, Enrique decided on the order of appearances. The first one is Barcelona star Messi, the second one is Suarez who just moved over this year and performed well, the third one is Mathieu who came off the bench, the fourth one is central defender Pique, and the fifth one is the current team captain Xavi.

……

Once both sides were ready, Langerac stepped in front of the goal and now faced Lionel Messi, Barcelona's number one star.

Although Langerak is Dortmund's substitute goalkeeper, if it wasn't for Weidenfeller's injury, he wouldn't be able to play in this game, but he is not stage fright at all. When facing Messi, he kept waving his hands to interfere with the opponent.

Naturally, Messi was not disturbed by him, and he didn't even change speed during the running process. He ran directly to the ball and volleyed!

Langerac swooped completely in the wrong direction, and the ball went in without incident.

One to zero!

Then it was Dortmund's turn to shoot.

Hummels fought to the penalty spot, Ter Stegen also came to the goal, lowered his center of gravity, and watched Hummels' movements closely.

After the referee signaled, Hummels ran towards the ball slowly, with rhythmic changes in the process. When he ran to the side of the ball, he suddenly accelerated, and shot to the side of the goal with a powerful kick.

Although Ter Stegen judged the right direction, the ball was too fast and the angle was tricky, so he didn't catch the ball and watched the ball fly into the net.

One to one!

In the first round of shots from both sides, the players who took the penalty withstood the pressure, did not disappoint, and scored the goal, so the two teams drew.

Next is the second round of competition with less pressure.

Barcelona sent Suarez. It can be seen that Enrique wanted to let players with better shooting skills take the lead in the first two rounds and throw the pressure on the opponent.

After Suarez came on the field, he didn't play any tricks and scored a shot very cleanly. Although Langerac also guessed the direction correctly, he missed it.

Two to one!

Next it is the turn of Shen Peng from Dortmund.

Regarding Shen Peng's appearance in this position, the outside world is not as confused as the Dortmund team. They all feel normal. After all, Shen Peng is still young, and it is already great to be able to play penalty kicks.

……

"Stinky boy, you can be more confident, don't miss it!"

Shen Minghui muttered, although it was almost dawn outside at this time, he didn't fall asleep at all, and he was still in good spirits.

Not only him, but everyone else in the room didn't feel sleepy at all. They were staring at the TV tightly. Even those who don't usually watch football, listening to the commentary on the TV, they knew the anxiety of the game.

"Now it's Dortmund's Shen Peng's turn to take the penalty. The three players who took the penalty before all scored, so I think Shen Peng must be under a lot of pressure."

"Now it depends on whether he can withstand the pressure. If he can withstand the pressure, maybe this game will become an asset in his future football career; and if he misses the shot, it may have some adverse effects on his career."

Hearing what the experts on TV said, even Shen Minghui, who knew Shen Peng best, couldn't help becoming nervous.

This kid, you won't be really nervous, will you?

In the picture on TV, Shen Peng has already arrived at the penalty spot, and the camera gave a close-up of his face, which looks relatively relaxed. As for whether he is nervous or not, it is unknown.

At this time, the whole family held their breath and watched Shen Peng's movements...
