Penalties!

Liverpool and Leeds United played in the Champions League semi-final until a penalty shoot-out.

Zhong Cheng did not expect this.

This match was actually this difficult. Originally, he thought that Leeds United would be able to advance by relying on their first-leg victory.

Zhong Cheng turned his head to look at Benitez. His tactics today were not bad, but his luck was also very good. He was actually able to escape at the last moment. Zhong Cheng was unconvinced.

Zhong Cheng ignored Benitez and immediately turned around to gather the players,

At this moment, Yaya Toure arrived in front of Zhong Cheng and said apologetically, “Sorry, boss, this match is my fault!”

The game has something to do with Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure had a lot to do with the few goals he conceded in this game. It was as if something had gone wrong with his defence, giving the Liverpool team a chance. Especially the last one. The football hit him directly, causing the football to change directions and fly into the goal.

However, not all of this was Yaya Toure’s fault. This was actually the result of a slight mistake in Leeds United’s defensive position.

Zhong Cheng patted Yaya Toure on the shoulder and said, “It’s not your problem. It’s our team’s problem. You don’t have to blame yourself. And we haven’t lost yet. Watch and cheer for our teammates. We will definitely advance this time!”

“Yes, Toure, it’s not your fault. We haven’t lost yet, it’s definitely our Leeds United this time!” The Leeds United players shouted from the surroundings.

The Leeds United players are confident they will not repeat last season’s tragedy.

Yaya Toure felt much better when he heard the consolation from his teammates and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

Zhong Cheng immediately interrupted them and said, “We don’t have much time left. Let’s discuss the penalty kick.”

The Leeds United players knew that this was the most important part of the game and looked at Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng looked at the Leeds United players and immediately said: “Confident to punish the penalty kicks stand out!”

The Leeds United players looked at each other in shock. Shouldn’t Zhong Cheng arrange it himself at this time? Why did the players recommend themselves?

Albertini also felt that something was wrong. He immediately looked at Zhong Cheng and wanted to say something to Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng waved his hand and interrupted Albertini, not letting him speak. Albertini smiled bitterly as he looked at the Leeds United players.

The Leeds United players were all standing there looking at each other.

Zhong Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, “What? No one? Don’t tell me you don’t even have the courage to take a penalty?”

The players of Leeds United were excited by Zhong Cheng, and their hearts were filled with dissatisfaction. They all opened their eyes wide and were about to stand out.

Zhong Cheng immediately raised his hand and said, “Now is not the time to be hot-headed. We don’t want heroism now. Don’t stand out just because I provoked us. I want to think clearly in my mind if I have the confidence to serve this penalty. We don’t want a hero, we want a player who can serve the penalty!”

The legs that had been prepared to move forward were all retracted, and the Leeds players were seriously considering it. Yes, it’s not about brains, it’s not about personal courage. Leeds United players have to think about it. This decision is likely to determine Leeds United’s success or failure today.

After a while, eight Leeds United players took a step forward and stood up.

The faces of the eight people who stood out were very serious and confident, and Zhong Cheng was very satisfied.

However, Zhong Cheng did not praise these players, but said to the players who did not stand out: “You did a good job.” It’s right to admit at this point that you don’t have the guts or the ability to serve this penalty. What we’re afraid of is holding on. “At this moment, it’s not just your personal honor, it’s the honor of the entire team. Everything is for the sake of the entire team. To be able to make such a choice at this moment, you need more courage. We will remember your contributions to the entire team. You guys are very good!”

The players who did not stand out did not expect Zhong Cheng to say this. Their hearts instantly felt much better, and they did not feel as embarrassed as before.

Those Leeds United players who stood out also expressed their admiration for their teammates. It was very easy to say that they were the best in the world when their brains were heated up, and it was also very easy for them to say that they were the best in the world. It was not easy to admit to being timid in front of so many people, to admit that he was timid, to admit that he had failed. This is the most courageous thing, because not only do you need to face the strange eyes of others, but you also need to face the torture from your own self-esteem, which an ordinary person really can’t do.

Of course, the players who stood out knew better that the players who did not stand out were only thinking about the honor of the team. They instantly felt that these teammates were even greater. For the benefit of the team, they could even give up their personal honor or even their self-esteem. These teammates were worthy of respect.

Zhong Cheng nodded firmly to the players who did not come out and said, “Cheer up for your teammates. At the same time, you should be ready to play a penalty kick. Who knows how many rounds it will take?”

The players immediately nodded in understanding.

Then, Zhong Cheng came to the players who stood out and looked at them for a while before saying, “Is there anyone else who wants to stand?”

It would be embarrassing if he stood back at this moment.

However, at this moment, someone really retreated. This person was Bacari Sagna!

After listening to Zhong Cheng’s words, Bacari Sagna felt that his confidence was not particularly high and he feared that his presence on the pitch would have a bad impact on Leeds United. For the sake of the team’s honor, he put down his honor and disgrace and directly retreated.

Zhong Cheng looked at Sagna and applauded immediately. He truly admired Sagna!

The Leeds United players also admired Sagna very much. If they were Sagna, many of them would not dare to do the same thing as Sagna.

Looking at the remaining seven people, Zhong Cheng nodded firmly.

Then, Zhong Cheng said directly, “Alright, there are still seven people left. Let me arrange the sequence of penalty kicks for everyone in this match. Don’t be emotional if you are not arranged, understand?”

The Leeds United players immediately shouted, “Got it!”

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, feeling that it was very good. He said, “Luca Modric was the first to serve a penalty, Frank Ribery was the second, Joan Gourcuff was the third, Gerard Peeker was the fourth, and Edinson Kavani was the fifth! You guys are all alone, you know?”

The Cloud Devils nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the referees of this match were here to urge the Leeds United players to hurry up and play. This time was wasted too much. This penalty match had to be held as soon as possible.

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Then, he immediately extended his hand to signal the Leeds United players to hurry up and punish the penalty kicks!

The Leeds United players first gathered together and then roared wildly, “Win, win, win!”

After doing all of this, the Leeds United players returned to the field to participate in the penalty shootout.

The players on both sides are ready, waiting for the penalty kicks to start.

The captains of both sides had a side-picking ceremony, and the penalty kick battle was just the beginning!

Picking a side directly to a somewhat disadvantageous side, because behind the goal is the Liverpool fans gathered in the stands, this will be very, very big impact on Leeds United.

The first to go to the penalty spot was the Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. The pressure was on Spanish striker Fernando Torres, who received thunderous applause from Liverpool fans.

Zhong Zheng stood quietly in front of the goal, like a statue.

Liverpool’s fans were still under a lot of pressure because Zhong Zheng’s performance in this game was really good and his condition was very impressive. Liverpool players should be under a lot of pressure when facing Zhong Zheng.

Now Leeds United’s fans were full of confidence. They were cheering crazily, cheering for Leeds United and cheering for Zhong Zheng.

Fernando Torres placed the penalty on the spot and took three steps back, waiting for the referee’s whistle.

The referee looked left and right and did not find anything abnormal. He directly blew the service whistle and the scene instantly quieted down.

Fernando Torres glanced at Zhong Zheng in front of the goal, then quickly ran up to the football and kicked it hard.

In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng’s eyes lit up and he shouted in his heart, “Lower left corner!”

In a flash, Zhong Zheng’s body flew sideways like lightning. His body flew out like an arrow leaving the string, directly sealing the lower right corner of the goal.

With a slap, the football hit Zhong Zheng’s hand and directly popped out the bottom line.

Zhong Zheng immediately jumped up from the turf and excitedly waved his fists, shouting, “Yeah!”

The Leeds United fans immediately roared: “Beautiful! So beautiful! Aldrich pounced on the football, Aldrich was great! Magical save, magical Aldrich!”

The Leeds United fans were going crazy and the ball was amazing.

Liverpool fans were dumbfounded. What was going on? How could the ball be caught?

Fernando Torres directly knelt on the turf, feeling extremely sad!

Fernando Torres covered his face with both hands and didn’t have the face to see Elder Jiang Dong.

“Wow, I didn’t expect Fernando Torres, who did well today, to fall in front of the penalty spot. It’s really dangerous for Liverpool. It looks like Leeds United are going to make it to the Champions League quarter-finals this season!” Eddie Gray said immediately.

Rafael Benitez shook his head. He didn’t expect the game to be like this. Fernando Torres didn’t score a goal, which was beyond his expectations.

Zhong Cheng immediately applauded. He was still very confident in Zhong Zheng. This was a good save. This was also the reason why Zhong Cheng wasn’t very nervous after entering the penalty kick because Leeds United had Zhong Zheng. Zhong Cheng trusted Zhong Zheng very much!

Now, Leeds United have a chance to lead Liverpool 1-0.
