Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

The second one to come out was Adriano.

boom!

Adriano's high-quality penalty kick surprised many people, even regarding his shooting skills.

But Manchester City players already knew Adriano's abilities through pre-match training.

It's wrong of him to miss the penalty.

For Manchester United, the second penalty was taken by Ruud van Nistelrooy.

This super striker, who is competing with Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United's top striker position, took a powerful penalty kick.

Cech decisively lunged to his right.

With a flick of his fingertips, he forcefully shoved the soccer ball towards the post.

when!

The football bounced out.

Ruud missed a point!

"Oh! An opportunity has arisen! Cech has actually saved Van Nistelrooy's penalty!"

"Vannie is so unlucky, Cech actually guessed the right direction!"

For Manchester City, a third player stepped up.

Howard completely fooled Ribery with a left-footed shot, using his right foot to deflect the shot.

The penalty points weren't of high quality, but they were effective because they were deceptive.

Three to one!

Manchester City extended their lead.

The pressure is on Manchester United.

Welsh superstar "Wanglaoji" Giggs walks to the penalty spot.

He is Manchester United's third player to take a penalty.

Giggs' eyes darted to Cech's left.

Then, his penalty kick actually went to that side.

Moreover, before striking, there was a feinting motion to kick to the right.

This was a standard, excellent penalty.

They used their intelligence, footwork, and psychological tactics.

But Giggs failed.

Because Cech, who remained unmoved, didn't react at all and decisively dived to his left, making a solid save to push the ball away.

If Van Nistelrooy's penalty kick was partly due to luck, then Cech's penalty kick was a lucky one.

That one shot by Giggs... no one can really blame Cech for it.

"My goodness! It's still 3-1! Cech has saved two penalties from Manchester United players in a row!"

"That's incredible!"

"Does Cech have magic?"

"Did Manchester City stick with Cech for a whole season and then buy Lehman in the summer, who would have threatened his starting position, all for this moment?"

"Cech! Pyotr Cech! He is proving himself!"

"The camera focused on Schmeichel on the bench. Last season, although he was a Manchester City player, he took on more of the responsibilities of a goalkeeping coach."

"And the person he mentored the most was Cech!"

"Will Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel passing on his magic to Manchester City goalkeeper Petr Cech be one of the reasons Manchester United lost the title?"

"Are all goalkeepers named Peter truly phenomenal?"

For Manchester City, newcomer David Villa walks towards the penalty area.

From a shooting perspective, he is the strongest among the remaining players on the field.

From Deng Kai's tactical arrangement, this also gave Villa an opportunity.

Noir: "What's the explanation this time?"

Guardiola: "In penalty shootouts, the fourth round decides the winner the most often, more than 50% of the time!"

"Then the fifth round decides the winner, the third round decides the winner, and the sixth, seventh rounds..."

"Ke is giving Villa a chance. Although he would prefer Villa to help Adriano this season, he doesn't want Villa to be doing it against his will."

"He will give Villa plenty of opportunities."

"That's the difference between Manchester City and Manchester United."

"Kai doesn't want a situation like Ronaldo's or Van Nistelrooy's to happen at Manchester City."

boom!

As the football soared into the sky, Villa covered his face in despair.

He missed the penalty kick!

It wasn't even Howard who tackled him.

It flew away!

This……

Manchester United fans sang and danced, starting to cheer for the team.

If Manchester United's fourth player scores, and Manchester City's fifth player, like Villa, also fails to score, then Manchester United will have equalized again.

Once you enter the sixth round, life and death are truly preordained, and wealth and honor are determined by fate.

Considering that Manchester United have already conceded two penalties.

That fourth penalty kick should have gone in no way.

Let alone a 70% penalty conversion rate, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Manchester United to ask for a 50% penalty conversion rate, would it?

This is entirely consistent with probability theory.

This world needs to be based on science, right?

Keane stepped forward.

The Red Devils captain was the fourth player to take the penalty.

It has to be said that Ferguson's arrangement was brilliant; he didn't put Keane in fifth place.

At this moment, if anyone could withstand this pressure, it would be Keane.

boom!

Keane kicked out.

Manchester United fans cheered excitedly.

Manchester United players and Ferguson immediately looked toward the goal.

Cech made a mistake!

He lunged to his right.

Keane was playing... in the middle!

But Deng Kai, who had been bravely watching every player take the free throws, raised an eyebrow and raised his hands in advance!

Steady!

Choosing mid lane only shows Keane's clutch generosity.

But choosing the mid lane and not daring to use a spoon shows that Keane's heart isn't big enough.

That's the difference between Keane and Zidane.

When Zidane goes crazy, he really goes crazy.

But Keane... ultimately possesses reason.

As long as one is rational, one can definitely be dealt with.

Cech is 1.96 meters tall.

In this day and age, goalkeepers who are over 1.8 meters tall are not uncommon.

At 1.96 meters tall, he is definitely one of the tallest goalkeepers.

Cech also has a long wingspan.

Her legs are long too.

The firefighting response was rapid.

The gate line technology is good.

He possesses almost all of the top-tier static talents for a goalkeeper.

His effective save area is much larger than that of goalkeepers of the same height.

This is the advantage that comes with long limbs.

In the past year, he has focused on attacking.

Focus on practicing footwork techniques.

The main training focuses on short passes with both feet, long passes with the dominant foot, and clearances with the non-dominant foot.

His dynamic talent is also considered top-tier among goalkeepers.

Even the best in history!

Although he lunged forward, he quickly realized something was wrong and stopped in time.

Although the ball still flew to the right, his foot lingered in the middle as much as possible and was raised to block the shot.

The biggest difference between a Panenka penalty and a direct shot down the middle is that...

A spoon can increase the time a football spends in the air.

Once the goalkeeper dives out, the ball will almost always fly into the goal the moment he lands.

This completely avoids the possibility of the ball being blocked by the goalkeeper's foot.

A direct kick down the middle, no matter how little force you use, will take less time than a spoon kick.

There is also the possibility that it could be blocked by the goalkeeper's leg before the ball has fully flown out.

boom!

Cech kicked the ball with his right foot when it was half a meter off the ground.

The football flew back to Keane.

Keane instinctively rushed forward to try and get a follow-up shot.

But after running a couple of steps, I realized it was a penalty shootout.

There is no way to remedy this.

It didn't go in, it just didn't go in!

"Aaaaaah!"

"Cech! Manchester City! Community Shield!"

"Cech has done a great job!"

"A super triple save!"

"He saved three penalties in a row! And all of them were saves! Not shots that went wide!"

"3-1! Cech has closed the game!"

"Manchester City are the champions!"

"Treble winners! FA Cup, EFL Cup, Community Shield! Manchester City are treble winners!"

In the shot, blue surges!

The players rushed towards Cech.

Manchester City substitutes also rushed onto the pitch.

Blue seems to be painting the entire sky!

Inevitably, a touch of blue has been added to the history of the Community Shield!
