In the first two rounds of penalty shootouts, four players from both sides hit penalties. In the third round, the penalty kick taken by Chongqing Furen players was first saved by Luneng U 17 goalkeeper Hou Jinjiang.
Before the fourth round, Hou Jinjiang unexpectedly chose to take off his gloves and face the penalty taker empty-handed.
Later, Hou Jinjiang first personally handed the ball to the teammate who was about to take the penalty to show encouragement. Then he handed the ball to the opponent's fifth penalty shooter with his bare hands.
Such psychological warfare has really achieved results! Although the penalty kick from Chongqing Furen player crossed Hou Jinjiang's finger, it actually hit the post! Shandong Luneng U 17, who hit all the penalties in the first four rounds, also defeated his opponent and won the championship of U 17 Youth Super League.
Hou Jinjiang's scene of taking off his gloves on penalty is easily reminiscent of the ninth round of the Super League this season, and Luneng goalkeeper Wang made the same move at the last moment of the game.
However, in the face of the controversial penalty at that time, Wang mostly expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee by "taking off his gloves", and Wang, who was "unarmed" at that time, failed to stop being awarded the winning penalty.
After the game, Hou Jinjiang also responded to his behavior of "imitating" his big brother Wang in the penalty shootout. The teenager said that he took off his gloves temporarily, which was just a kind of "psychological warfare": "No (imitating Wang) didn't think so much at that time. This is also a tactic, just to put more pressure on the other side. "
In fact, in the usual training and competition, Hou Jinjiang is a goalkeeper who is good at penalty kicks. Fortunately, in such a "big scene" as the final, Hou Jinjiang's psychological warfare also achieved results, thus helping Luneng win the fourth championship trophy of the Youth Super League at all levels this season.
