Chapter 325 Against De Bruyne
Rodri raised his head and saw Li Mingyu's firm eyes.
The firmness in Li Mingyu's eyes made the guilty Rodri smile bitterly.
Holding Li Mingyu's outstretched hand, Rodri stood up and hugged Li Mingyu tightly.
"I'm sorry, Li, next, please!"
Rodri whispered in Li Mingyu's ear.
Li Mingyu patted Rodriguez on the back vigorously, signaling to rest assured!
The second round of the penalty shootout ended with a score of 1:1, a draw.
The pressure on the third player on the pitch became even greater.
Li Mingyu stood on the goal line again, and he felt that his mood had become very relaxed, and he no longer had the nervousness of the previous two times.
Li Mingyu looked at Real Madrid's third player with scrutiny.
Acquaintance, own Spain national team teammate Asensio.
Although Asensio was not able to be selected for the Qatar World Cup squad in the end, Asensio also cooperated with Li Mingyu in the world preliminaries.
Asensio held the football and walked over anxiously, put the football on the penalty spot, and looked up at Li Mingyu.
With a weird smile on Li Mingyu's face, he tapped his side with his right hand, which meant that he would kick this way later, and I wouldn't guard against it.
The expression on Asensio's face was somewhat unnatural.
As a former teammate of the Spanish national team, Asensio respects this "big devil" very much.
Especially when he saw Li Mingyu helping the Spanish national team win the World Cup, he was so excited that he regarded Li Mingyu as his idol.
Today, I can compete with my idol on the same stage, and it is still in the penalty shootout.
Asensio always felt a little unreal.
He couldn't help complaining in his heart.
Are you not a midfielder?
What are you doing standing in front of the door?
What do you mean over there?
Where will I kick it?
How could I be fooled by you, you won't kick that way!
But, could he be deliberately inducing me to kick to the other side?
……
Asensio's heart was constantly turning, and a whistle suddenly sounded in his ear, which awakened Asensio, who had fallen into crazy thinking.
Where are you going to kick it?
Asensio started to run up, looked up at Li Mingyu, gritted his teeth, chose a direction, and kicked the football out.
When the football went out, Asensio was shocked to find that he actually chose the direction Li Mingyu pointed.
What made him even more astonished was that Li Mingyu did not abide by the agreement, and rushed towards the direction he pointed.
Since Asensio's kick kicked a goalkeeper's favorite half-high penalty, even if Li Mingyu hadn't learned from goalkeepers, facing such a ball, he threw the ball very easily.
Li Mingyu rolled on the ground, then stood up, raising his arms and shouting wildly.
The Manchester City fans also shouted Li Mingyu's name excitedly.
Looking at the dumbfounded Asensio, Li Mingyu couldn't help shaking his head, this kid, I told you I'll jump in this direction later, you really dare to kick in this direction, you're really a tough boy!
The emotions of the players on both sides near the center line were reversed again.
The players of the Manchester City team embraced together again, cheering excitedly for Li Mingyu's wonderful save.
Especially Rodri, he kept kneeling on the ground with his eyes closed, praying that Li Mingyu could save the ball.
Sure enough, God appeared!
Rodri crossed himself excitedly, thanking God while muttering words.
It was the turn of Manchester City's No.3 player to play.
Zinchenko, Manchester City's left wing-back, has excellent footwork. This time, he was sent out to kick the third penalty.
Zinchenko held the football, came to the penalty area, and hugged Li Mingyu who was standing there.
Pass on your confidence and luck to the other person.
Li Mingyu is now a confident player. When the Manchester City players saw him, their self-confidence naturally emerged.
Zinchenko put the football on the penalty spot, fiddled with his hair, and stared at Courtois with his eyes like a falcon.
Players who dare to look at the opponent's goalkeeper are generally very confident players.
Zinchenko is such a player.
Courtois had a stern face, and he also stared at Zinchenko's eyes, hoping to see some flaws in the other's eyes.
However, Zinchenko's eyes did not have any waves, and he could not see any intention at all.
The referee blew his whistle, indicating that free throws can begin.
Zinchenko took a deep breath, and the moment he exhaled, he started to run.
Courtois also made preparations, his brain was running wildly, trying to guess the direction Zinchenko was going to shoot.
Suddenly, Courtois's eyes lit up, his legs stepped on the ground fiercely, and he flew towards his right hand side as if stepping on a spring.
However, what shocked Courtois was that the football in front of Zinchenko hit him in the opposite direction.
Counted!
Courtois looked back in despair, hoping again that the ball would go wide or hit the post.
But, to his disappointment, the ball went straight into the goal without any problems.
After scoring the goal, Zinchenko released all his pressure. After roaring a few times in a row, he hugged Li Mingyu who rushed over tightly.
The faces of Real Madrid players became ugly.
After three rounds, 2:1, Real Madrid is getting more and more dangerous.
However, they looked at the players who were about to play next, and their uneasiness eased a little.
Li Mingyu came to the goal line and looked indifferently at the player who was striding forward from the midfield.
All Manchester City fans booed deafeningly when they saw this familiar figure.
De Bruyne.
Manchester City's former midfield master has now become Real Madrid's midfield rhythm maker and the king of assists.
De Bruyne came to the penalty area with the football in his arms, put the football lightly on the penalty spot, and stepped on the football with his right foot a few times to make the turf a little tighter, so that he can use it better.
Li Mingyu looked at this former Manchester City player with great interest. Although this was the first time the two played against each other, Li Mingyu also discovered that he was indeed one of the top midfielders in world football.
De Bruyne's style is indeed a bit out of tune with Manchester City. After arriving at Real Madrid, De Bruyne used his organizational talent to the extreme, and also met a top striker like Harland.
Perfect match.
Li Mingyu bent over, like a lion hunting, staring at his prey, ready to go.
