Football: Don’t talk about feelings, I’m just an AI

Chapter 179 Penalty kicks are poisonous and a hero is needed

"The game has only lasted ten minutes, and each side has scored a goal. Is it another goal feast tonight?"

Two goals scored in ten minutes almost made everyone believe that tonight would be a scoring battle.

On the court, players from both sides thought so too.

After they tied at 1:1, as if they had made an appointment in advance, they speeded up the tempo and directly brought the game into the fast lane...

"Robben cuts inside and shoots!"

"Oh, I'm cumming!"

"Xia Qi was really good, Balotelli knocked the ball back and shot!!!"

"Xia Qi and Balotelli hit the wall in the penalty area. Unfortunately, Xia Qi's shot was saved by Neuer."

"This combination is really good, but Neuer is even better."

"Robben, Robben again! No shot, passed!"

"Mandzukic made a late shot, oh, it was just a little bit close."

"Schweinsteiger made a long pass from the backcourt, Mandzukic headed the ball over, Ribery!!!"

"Ribery was half a beat too late and didn't shovel the football. It would have been dangerous if he had."

"........."

On the court, Bayern, playing away from home, got their second corner kick of the game.

This time, Bayern took a tactical corner kick.

Gotze did not drive the ball directly into the penalty area, but to Robben on the right side of the penalty area.

Robben dribbled the ball in, attracted the attention of Arsenal's defenders, and passed the ball near the penalty spot.

Mandzukic appeared where the football landed and waved his left foot.

Seeing this, Umtiti made a decisive tackle and shoveled the football at Mandzukic's feet.

Mandzukic's left foot did not shoot immediately, but made an adjustment and moved the ball to his right foot.

The next second, Umtiti's sliding tackle hit his left foot, and Mandzukic fell down without hesitation.

"Penalty kick!" The small number of Bayern fans in the Emirates Stadium made a voice clearly visible to the audience.

The Arsenal fans were anxious and roared: "This is a fucking flop!"

"Beep!"

The referee Rizzoli blew his whistle, pointed his finger at the penalty spot, and at the same time took out a yellow card from his pocket and showed it to Umtiti.

In an instant, "Black whistles!" were heard all over the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal players stepped forward to intercede, but referee Rizzoli remained unmoved and insisted on his decision.

In the Penguin live broadcast room, the two commentators who supported Xia Qi raised their own questions:

"That tall man Mandzukic fell down like that? It looks a bit fake."

"Umtiti originally aimed at the football, but Mandzukic adjusted his foot..."

The commentators of the German TV station were not questioning it. They shouted firmly: "Penalty kick! This is a penalty kick, an undisputed penalty kick!"

"Mandzukic created a penalty kick, which was a good opportunity for us to overtake the score and secure promotion."

"Double kill Arsenal, right in front of you!"

On the large LED screen at the scene, a slow-motion replay began. In principle, there was no problem with this penalty kick. Umtiti did indeed shovel Mandzukic's left foot.

After watching the replay, Zhan Jun in the Penguin live broadcast room became even more angry.

"There is no problem with the penalty kick, but Mandzukic seems to have predicted Umtiti's movements. He could have shot directly, but instead made an extra movement of changing feet to adjust. It is more or less suspected of cheating."

Zhan Jun's view is also the view of many Arsenal people. Mandzukic saw that the penalty area was full of people and it was difficult to take a shot, so he waited for Umtiti, a fool, to come and score.

They thought they had penetrated the matter and saw the truth. They were all filled with anger, and the black whistle's curses became louder.

However, being angry will not help. Even if Mandzukic deliberately took the penalty kick, it was a reasonable use of the rules.

On the sidelines of the court, Wenger angrily protested to the fourth official. In his eyes, Mandzukic's intention to deceive was too obvious.

Guardiola is anxiously arranging the penalty kicker. In his mind, the first penalty kicker is Muller, but Muller is on the bench, so Ribery should take the penalty kick.

However, Mandzukic didn't think so on the court. He got up from the ground, waved his arms and shouted, then walked straight over and picked up the football in his arms.

Guardiola on the sidelines hugged his head angrily with an expression of disbelief.

In Barcelona, ​​the players have to obey orders and arrangements, but in Bayern, Mandzukic is a thorn in the side.

The relationship between the two was not very harmonious to begin with, but now it is almost settled in the public eye.

Guardiola has just arrived and has not yet established absolute authority among the talented players. Ribery and Robben are not very supportive of him because their ball rights have been weakened.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ribery does not think Mandzukic will miss the penalty.

The probability of a penalty kick being missed is far less than being scored.

If you can score a penalty, it will be the same for everyone.

So he pretended not to hear Guardiola's roar and did not stop Mandzukic from walking to the penalty spot.

Mandzukic stood in front of the penalty spot, Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez opened his arms and waited.

The two people instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, placing the hopes of "the whole village" on them.

The most nervous ones were of course the Arsenal fans, many of whom stood up from their seats and crossed themselves with their eyes closed.

Some people even went as far as not even daring to take a breath and silently reciting the Bible in their hearts.

The referee Rizzoli blew the whistle.

Mandzukic runs and shoots!

Spoon shot!

Understatement spoon shot!

Martinez jumped high and held the light and soft football in his arms.

"Spoon shot!"

"Martinez has done a great job!"

"He was right!"

"He saved Arsenal!!!"

"Mandzukic missed the penalty kick, and Bayern lost an excellent opportunity to overtake the score. This opportunity is most likely a match point and determines the final direction of the game."

On the sidelines of the court, Guardiola became even more angry. He roared loudly at the players and spread his hands to express that he did not understand why they did not obey the arrangements...

Bayern players also regret it, but there is no regret medicine in this world.

...

...

The game continues,

After Bayern missed the penalty kick, their morale was low, they played a little impatiently, and the whole team was distraught and "difficult to lead."

On the court, Arsenal took the initiative, but neither Xia Qi's shot nor anyone else could score again.

Until the end of the first half, the score was still 1:1.

This result somewhat disappointed the fans. Is this the promised goal feast?

During intermission,

The German commentator is still regretting that Mandzukic missed the penalty kick.

However, he said optimistically: "In the second half of the first half, Arsenal failed to score even though they had the advantage. After the players adjusted their mentality in the second half, they would not let Arsenal succeed. In short, the advantage lies in "I think the situation is not good for Arsenal who are behind on aggregate."
