The first and fifth penalty players are naturally the most important, and if the first penalty is not scored, it will be a very big blow to the morale of the whole team.

Robertson has already stepped up to be the first to take the penalty, and Lu Wei naturally will not object, at this time, if he goes against his ideas, it will affect the psychological fluctuations of the players.

"The last one is either Oliver or Tucker."

Steele suggested that this is reasonable, given that the two of them had the most penalty experience in previous games and were mentally qualified, more reliable than the young Madison and Sancho.

"No, let Madison finale."

Lu Wei made a decision after thinking about it.

"Oliver second, Jayden third, Tucker fourth."

Lu Wei said the answer very cheerfully, this order seems to be decided casually, but the knowledge in it can be big, Robertson is a power + angle type of penalty, Giroud is a technical type, mainly to cheat the goalkeeper and play angle, facing different types of penalty shooters is easier for the goalkeeper to control his rhythm.

Sancho is not suitable for arranging too far back, it is just right to put it behind the old churros of Giroud, Tucker's penalty is also dominated by a powerful volley, and placing it in fourth place can enhance the overall momentum of the team to meet the fifth round, while Maddison is known for his big heart, superficially jumpy, but very trustworthy when it comes to the crucial moment.

Steele thought about it and felt that there was no problem with this arrangement, the player who took the penalty on the Atletico side did not know who it was, but it was definitely not possible to run those people, Griezmann, Torres, Cork, Saul and Gabi, speaking of starting players, Atletico are much worse than FC United.

After deciding on the order of the top five penalty players, the next thing is simple, let the players on the field line up independently from the beginning of the sixth round, Saint Maximine, Matuidi, Rice, Hayden, Tete, Edward, there should be no scene for Edward to shoot penalties.

FC United's goalkeeper coach is Jaskolenen, who has not been involved in the discussions between Lu Wei and the coaches, but has been warming up with Edouard, who has experienced four penalty shootouts in his long career, twice at Bolton, once at West Ham and once in the Finnish national team, winning two and losing two, and he knows how much pressure the goalkeeper can bear at such times.

Jascolenin couldn't help but feel a rush of blood boiling in his mind while moving his fingers with Edward, he hadn't been so nervous in a game for a long time, and the last time he was so excited during a game was when.

Was it a comeback at Old Trafford in 2001? Still in the round of 32 knockout round of 10 years ago, which was still called the UEFA Cup, two legged clean sheets allowed Bolton to set an all-time best, and the opponent at that time seemed to be Atletico Madrid, but by that time Torres had gone to Liverpool, Simeone was still in River Plate, and time flew by so fast.

Jaskolenen somewhat regretted retiring last season, and although he was unable to play in this Europa League final, it was a completely different feeling to win the title as a player than as a coach.

After a simple warm-up exercise, Edward was about to go on the field to receive guidance from the referee, when Steele came over and handed Jaskolenin a note.

Jasplenin understood, secretly sighed in his heart and thought really far, it seems that he has long been ready to play a penalty shootout, the note is written in dense small words, one by one written the characteristics of Atletico Madrid players taking penalties, Griezmann, Torres and Cork information is very detailed, even Gabi, Saul and Godin and others are used to shooting direction has also been counted.

This is Lu Wei's preparation for the penalty shootout, as early as after the league is over, Steele took people to look through the videos of the past five seasons, collect all kinds of information from Atletico players, and analyze their maximum possible penalty methods.

Edward was a little puzzled at first, but he quickly reacted, but instead of taking the note, he shook his head at Steele.

"Thanks, William, but I don't need to look at this, I trust my reaction and judgment."

Steele's outstretched hand was embarrassed in place, but he quickly understood, and seeing that Jaskolenin was also nodding, he put the note away, gave Edward a thumbs up, and returned to Lu Wei's side.

Lu Wei was talking to the players about the order of the upcoming play, and after seeing Steele return, he said the last words to the players.

"This season is coming to an end, I hope we don't have to go on vacation with regrets, I also hope that some of you don't have to go to Russia with regrets, let's draw a perfect end to this season!"

Steele showed the small note in his hand to Lu Wei, and Lu Wei understood what was going on, walked up to Edward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Edward, it's up to you now, come on, I have confidence in you, you are no worse than the Slovenian opposite."

Lu Wei smiled and said to Edward, he did not pin his hopes on that note, because Atletico Madrid usually takes penalties that Griezmann, Torres and Costa, Saul also has a penalty record, penalty shootout is originally a way for players to determine the psychological quality, hard power and a point of luck to determine the victory or defeat of the game, if you can win by relying on small notes, then simply send robots to guard the goal in future football matches.

No matter how good a goalkeeper is, the penalty shootout also depends on a little luck, and it is okay to predict in advance, because it is too late to wait until the opponent shoots the penalty and then save.

Edward. Mendy pursed his lips and nodded, lowered his head and carefully put on his gloves, tightened hard, and then strode towards the goal where the penalty was taken.

Robertson guessed the heads in the coin guess with Gabi, so the penalty shootout will be taken by FC United and Atletico Madrid later, which is good news for the Reds, but the pressure can change at any time, and if you want to win the game, you must hit the ball as much as possible.

The players who were resting on the lawn all stood up, including all the main players and substitutes, and even Baird in the stands came down to stand with his teammates, standing in a row, shoulders over each other, waiting for the penalty shootout to begin.

The entire Olympic Park stadium began to become extremely quiet, the usually noisy fans closed their mouths at this moment, the air suddenly became extremely suffocated, tension began to permeate in the stands, and the fans seemed to be able to hear the heartbeats of the people around them.

Penalty shootouts are the most brutal part of football, and the outcome of a game, whether a season's hard work pays off, is decided in just a few minutes. The players who can make it to the final are people who have endured countless difficult tests in a long season, and now, an even more severe test, a psychological and physical ordeal will test them.
