英格兰五大最佳点球手揭晓,如果德国队决战,索斯盖特将面临巨大压力
英格兰队在2020年欧洲杯的最后16强迎战德国队,球迷们已经开始担心点球大战的前景。
三狮在小组赛中艰难地战胜了克罗地亚和捷克,并与苏格兰战平。
哈里·凯恩是英格兰最有经验的点球手,他在51次射门中打入45球,其中包括英格兰的11个点球
英格兰知道,现在是他们进入决赛的最佳时机,只要战胜德国队。
加雷斯·索斯盖特的球队将在四分之一决赛中对阵瑞典或乌克兰,在半决赛中对阵丹麦或捷克,后者在16强赛中惊艳击败荷兰。
但首先,他们必须面对可以说是最严峻的考验——与老对手的比赛德国。
英格兰队在对德国队的点球大战中战绩不佳,在90意大利世界杯和96欧洲杯的半决赛中双双失利,而现任主帅索斯盖特在那场欧洲杯比赛中,作为队员,也是亲历者。
年轻的三狮军团中,只有凯尔·沃克和乔丹·亨德森出生在90岁意大利世界杯之前,其余队员。其它队员,连在电视上看到比赛的机会都没有。但是,英格兰在最近几年仍然输掉了很多比赛,包括1998年、2004年、2006年和2012年的大赛。
桑乔和莱温——两人的点球命中率都是100%。桑乔有四个点,其中一个是在英格兰队进的,而莱温也曾打入两个点球,其中一个也是在国家队。
这意味着如果比赛临近加时赛结束,这两个人应该上场——然而,索斯盖特至今不愿意使用他们,这让英格兰主帅左右为难。
还有另外三位选手的成功率高达80%。
队长哈里·凯恩,51次点球有45次命中(88%),其中11次是在国家队。
拉什福德16个点球中只失了2个(87%),为国家队打进4球。他在2019年曼联对阵巴黎圣日耳曼的伤停补时点球说明,他的心理素质极好。
芒特在自己的五个点球中打入了四个(80%)——都是在俱乐部打进的,其中一个是在2018-19赛季对阵曼联的德比中打入的。
卡尔文·菲利普斯(kalvinphillips)只丢过1次点球,不过总数也才三次(67%),还没有为国家队打入1球。
无奈的选择
除此之外的球员,就是无奈的选择,只能冒险。他们最好的也只有50%的糟糕记录。
拉希姆·斯特林打进了英格兰队小组赛的两个进球,但是他的点球8次比赛中只打入4球。
哈里·马奎尔在俱乐部五个点球中打进两球,并在国家队击败瑞士的点球大战中打入第一球。
与此同时,基兰·特里皮尔4个点球只打入2个,在2018年战胜哥伦比亚的比赛中为英格兰队打入一球。
德克兰·赖斯、杰克·格雷利什和康纳·科迪都为他们的俱乐部进过一球,也错过了一次。
还有六名球员在他们的职业生涯中只罚进了一个点球——乔丹·皮克福德、菲尔·福登、卢克·肖、沃克、本·奇维尔和约翰·斯通。
亨德森?最好别打点球!
但是一个可能会为英格兰队罚点球的球员,最好能不上场。
亨德森职业生涯四次罚点球,只进了一个球。这位利物浦队长在60场比赛中从未为英格兰队进球。球迷害怕他打点球。

England’s five best penalty takers revealed with Southgate facing huge dilemma if Germany clash goes to shootout
ENGLAND take on Germany in the last-16 of Euro 2020 with fans already dreading the prospect of a penalty shootout.
The Three Lions trudged through the group with wins over Croatia and Czech Republic, as well as a draw with Scotland.
England now know their fate, with an astonishingly friendly-looking route to the final.
Gareth Southgate's squad will face Sweden or Ukraine in the quarter-finals and one of Denmark or Czech Republic - who stunned Holland in the last-16 - in the semis.
But first, they must face arguably the toughest test of all - a game against old rivals Germany at Wembley.
England have an infamously poor penalty shootout record against the Germans, losing in the semi-finals of both Italia 90 and Euro 96 - with now-boss Southgate missing his effort in the latter.
Many of the youthful Three Lions squad weren't alive for the Euro 96 heartbreak on home soil, while only Kyle Walker and Jordan Henderson were born before Italia 90, both by a matter of weeks.
But England have still lost many a shootout in recent years including major tournament exits in 1998, 2004, 2006 and 2012.
Two players - Jadon Sancho and Dominic Calvert-Lewin - both boast 100 per cent record for their career for club and country.
Sancho has taken and scored four, including one for England - while Calvert-Lewin has two in two, with one of those for his country.
It suggests those two should be on the pitch if the match nears the end of extra-time - however, Southgate has so far been reluctant to use them, giving the England boss a dilemma.
Three more players all boast strong success rates of 80 per cent of higher.
Captain Harry Kane has scored 45 of his 51 attempts (88 per cent), including a staggering 11 for England.
Marcus Rashford has only missed two of his 16 spot-kicks (87 per cent), while netting four for his country. His injury time penalty for Manchester United against PSG in 2019 suggests he has the stomach for a high-pressure pen.
Mason Mount has scored four of his five penalties (80 per cent) - all for his clubs down the years, including one for Derby in their shock Carabao Cup win over Manchester United in 2018-19.
Kalvin Phillips has only skewed one of his three efforts (67 per cent) but is yet to take one for his country.
SUDDEN DEATH OPTIONS
From there, things start to get a little dicey, with the next SIX best penalty takers holding a poor 50 per cent record.
Raheem Sterling - who scored both of England's group stage goals from open play - has scored four of his eight efforts, but has netted two for England.
Harry Maguire has netted two of his five club penalties, and scored the first in the shoot-out win over Switzerland in the nations League finals.
Meanwhile Kieran Trippier has missed half of his four spot-kicks, scoring once for England in the 2018 win over Colombia.
Declan Rice, Jack Grealish and Conor Coady has all scored one and missed one for their clubs.
Six players have taken and scored just one penalty in their careers - Jordan Pickford, Phil Foden, Luke Shaw, Walker, Ben Chilwell and John Stones.
NO WAY HENDO
But one player who would likely take a penalty for England may be better off sitting any potential shootout out.
Henderson has scored just one of his FOUR penalty attempts during his career.
