Fa Erkao has scored eleven goals in the Champions League this season.
If he punish this penalty, he will tie that record of the players who score the most goals in a single session after the Champions League reform.
Before him was Manchester United Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored 12 goals for Manchester United in the Champions League in 2023.
However, that’s because there were two round robin group matches in the Champions League at that time, and the difficulty of the group match was lower than that of the knockout.
The 2223 season was the last one before the Champions League cancelled the double-round group match. Since then, no one can score 12 goals in a season until Messi appears.
But now Lazio Fa Erkao is about to become such a person!
The commentators were a little excited, and they told the audience how difficult it was to score 12 goals in the Champions League in a season.
"Fa Erkao has eleven goals now, and one more goal will tie Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of scoring in the Champions League in 2223!"
Everyone is looking forward to a historic moment.
Lazio teammates also know that no one is going to fight with him.
But Fa Erkao, who is holding a football, is thinking about a problem.
He put the football on the penalty spot and then turned back, but he was not ready to run up. He directly withdrew from the penalty area.
Everyone was dumbfounded-this run-up distance is a little … a little long, isn’t it?
Slightly longer? Of course, it’s a little longer because Fa Erkao went straight to the middle circle!
What’s the situation?
Fa Erkao came to the front of Passareira, the captain of the counter-attack team in the middle circle.
"You take the penalty for this ball," Fa Erkao said to Passareira.
Passareira was a little surprised. "Huh?"
"I think you are more suitable than me to kick this penalty," Fa Erkao said.
"But you are the first player on the team …" Passareira thought it was against the rules.
Fa Erkao suddenly changed his face and smiled and said, "Well, I’ll tell you the truth. It’s too much pressure to cancel this penalty. I dare not punish him if he kicks me away. I’ll be a sinner forever! They will say that I didn’t get punished for going to Barcelona and I didn’t go in, but I’m sure it will be fine if you cancel it! Your ability to withstand pressure is much stronger than mine! "
Passareira wanted to say something, but Fa Erkao interrupted him and pushed him away. "Come on, cut the crap, everyone is waiting! Come on, if there is any delay, maybe the referee will directly cancel our penalty opportunity? "
Passareira stopped talking. He ran to the penalty spot.
Everyone looked at him, and he could feel those eyes, including doubts, surprises and malicious curses.
He even knows what these people are cursing.
He kicked the key penalty in the penalty shoot-out in the Champions League quarter-final last year.
Those people want him to kick this penalty now, too.
It’s not a long journey, but it’s not short. Passareira has no running all the way, as if afraid of being watched by others.
He kept his speed at a constant speed.
Accept those eyes calmly.
……
"What is this?" The commentator was also surprised and puzzled. "Didn’t Fa Erkao take a penalty? This is his b chance to tie that Ruud van Nistelrooy record! How did he give up this opportunity? "
"Plug Passareira to take the penalty? What does Fa Erkao think? Doesn’t he know that Sai Passareira has missed a penalty kick? "
"This is to evade responsibility! But at this time, the penalty is very important and the pressure is huge, but if a player can’t bear such pressure, he will never become a superstar! I think the representative of Barcelona may regret spending so much money on such a coward when he sees this scene! " It’s not a Spanish commentator or Catalonia, it’s Italy.
He seems to be more anxious than Barcelona.
Because he wants Lazio to win, no matter what the winning is, Lazio is really an Italian team, and Lazio can really get more benefits by winning Italian football.
However, Fa Erkao gave such a penalty as a joke to a man who missed the penalty at the crucial moment, that is to evade responsibility! Is to ruin Lazio’s victory!
Lazio lost the game and the benefits of Italian football were gone.
That’s why he’s so angry
……
Lazio coach’s seat is also puzzled.
Why did Fa Erkao suddenly give the penalty to Sai Passareira?
"Heck … what is Fa Erkao doing? ！” Some people in the coaching staff complained so much and then came to Changsheng. "You should always stop this kind of child’s play!"
But to their surprise, the constant victory did not stop but expressed support.
"I believe that Fa Erkao did this after careful consideration and naturally has his reasons, but the most important thing is … I believe in it."
Changsheng said so.
"There is no need to change people, so let the plug kick."
"But if one thousand … I mean eleven thousand he kicked the ball again? You must know that the quality of turf today is worse than that of Allianz Stadium a year ago! "
Changsheng shrugged. "It’s a big deal to play overtime."
"But we may lose the championship …"
I like winning the championship better than anyone else, but sometimes I think winning the championship is nothing compared with letting a good player get out of the psychological shadow … and if he can get out of the psychological shadow, we will win the championship.
The other party seemed to want to say "Constant Victory" but waved and interrupted him. "Okay, let’s watch the game now."
Then he turned to look at the stadium.
……
Plug Passareira has entered the restricted area.
He walked through a group of stunned players from both sides, looking as usual.
He went to the penalty spot and picked up the football again. After turning the football a few times, he found the Adidas logo and put the logo side back on the penalty spot.
Then he stood up and stepped back. This time it was really a run-up. He retreated to the restricted area line and stopped. He turned to look at the referee and waited until the whistle sounded.
……
Manchester United were all relieved when they found that it was not Fa Erkao but Passareira who took the penalty.
Fa Erkao is in a hot state today. It’s hard to say if he is allowed to take the penalty.
