Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 336 Free Kick

Liverpool, Anfield.

Before the start of the game, Liverpool coach Benitez already had a deep understanding of Chelsea. In fact, all Premier League managers must understand Chelsea this year, even if there is no hope of winning the game against them, but But they can also find some methods suitable for their own team from Chelsea's style of play and personnel mix. After all, a team that wins all games in half a schedule is really the first time in history. They must have something to learn from them. s things.

Nenites certainly knew that Liverpool was not Chelsea's opponent. He had already prepared himself for losing before the game. Arsenal were beaten by Chelsea at home, so Liverpool's hope of winning is really not great.

However, even though I was prepared in my heart and thought about several possible game situations, I never thought that the game would go like this: Liverpool led the score, but was completely suppressed by Chelsea in form.

When the game enters this situation, no matter what tactics the head coach arranges, it will have no effect at all, and more depends on the willpower of the players.

'As long as you can hold it, you win. 'Benitez is very aware of this truth, so he immediately walked to the side of the court, shouting and directing the team's defense——
"Stay back, Finnan, pay attention to the defense on the side!!"

"Fuck!! Watch out for that black-haired kid!!"

"Focus on your feet, isn't your energy wasted on women!?"

"Pangele, what are you still doing in the frontcourt? Pay attention to return to defense!! Return to defense!!"

……

On the sidelines, Benitez looked anxiously at the situation on the field, constantly directing the team's defense. Now, the Spaniard has no image at all, and that kind of gentlemanly demeanor has long been thrown by him. Minion country, he kept yelling from the sidelines, and often spit out some dirty words, which made the fourth official next to him frown.

Under the command of Benitez, all the Liverpool players on the field moved. At this time, in the entire Chelsea half, there were no players with red jerseys, and Chelsea had already pressed the whole line. Every player wanted to Contribute to the team and try to score a goal to equalize the score.

But the focus of the audience is not Benitez. No one cares about what the Spaniard is doing, but the performance of No. 21 Wang Li in a black jersey shines in the audience! !
The reason why I say this is because between the 50th and 60th minutes of the game, Wang Li completely became the point of fire for Chelsea's offense. If you use a classic sentence, then he has completely dominated the game on the field! !
Almost all eyes of the audience were on him, and on the court, Wang Li was running almost non-stop. This kind of running at the front of the penalty area directly caused chaos in Liverpool's defense, because the responsible watch closely Harvey Alonso, who lives in Wangli, could not have even a little impact on the former's pass. Immediately, Liverpool increased their manpower, Riise stepped up again, and this time the defense of the two was a little better. For children ---
Just a little bit! !
This only slowed down Wang Li's running a little, but in front of Lingbo Weibu, the number of people was not a problem at all.The Chelsea players all knew that the black-haired kid on the team would definitely be able to get the ball at the front of the penalty area, so almost everyone would choose to pass it there immediately after getting the ball.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the audience and countless fans beside the TV, Wang Li performed a classic tutorial on how to catch the ball on the court! !
Leaning on the back against the defender, forcing the ball...

Flexible running towards the ball, stuck position...

The back heel magically hooked the ball to the front of the body...

Etc., etc.

In short, Wang Li's way of receiving the ball is really varied. Liverpool's two personal defenders are almost like phantoms. The route caused the two people's physical strength to continue to decline. In just 10 minutes, Xavi Alonso was already out of breath. A helpless expression, he now finally understands the gap between himself and the super players of the Premier League, at least the gap in physical strength is not even a star.

After Wang Li has the ball, what he has to do is to shoot or pass a precise through ball, and almost every time he can create a crisis for Liverpool's goal. It is precisely because of Wang Li's extraordinary performance that Liverpool have to Return to defense across the board, because they know that if they don't return to defense, it will only be a matter of time before the opponent scores.

In this case, Liverpool's goal is as solid as a bus parked in front of the goal. At the beginning of the season, Chelsea faced such a game. In that game, Wang Li played very well, but Chelsea Only scored two goals, which is also the league game where Chelsea scored the fewest goals when Wang Li played this season.

And this time, Liverpool did the same. Under the premise of leading the score, Benitez's heart, the temptation to win Chelsea is more important than maintaining the style and dignity of the Red Army.

The Spaniard's idea is actually correct. As long as he can defend until the end of the game, Liverpool will become the winner and the team that ends Chelsea's terrifying winning streak. Faced with this result, the Red Army fans will forgive him how to do it.

After all, history is written by the winners, even in football matches. If they can beat Chelsea, it will benefit the team in subsequent games. The Red Army needs this victory too much. As for fail---
I have thought about it enough before the game, and now Benitez will not think about it! !

In this case, even if Wang Li played like this, Chelsea's goal seems to be a luxury.

How to deal with a giant team that has almost completely given up on offense and is defending on all fronts! ! ?Perhaps, no coach can give a clear answer.

Originally, the strength of a team like Liverpool is already at the top level in the world. If they don't want to retreat all face-saving, the strength they can show in defense is absolutely terrifying. Footwork, exquisite coordination, and personal skills all seem to have become weak.

At this time, the smile on Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho's face had long since disappeared. He frowned tightly, scolded the Spaniard in his heart, stood up from the coach's bench, and walked to the sidelines to start Direct the team's offense from close range.

Although it is nothing to lose a league game, this game is very important to Chelsea. The "North and South War" has always been a highlight of fans and media attention. Whether it wins or not is even related to Chelsea's dominance after replacing Arsenal.

But in fact, he really has no good solution. The opponent shamelessly defends with all their strength, even if they stay near the goal and don't come out, then how the team stands and runs will be meaningless.

"Fuck, they're too strict!" Alkin Robben walked up to Wang Li and complained in the direction of Liverpool's goal.

Wang Lili spit out forcefully, stopped and supported his knee with one hand, he was a little out of breath. In fact, the stormy attack just now had exhausted him a lot of physical strength, but he still played so seriously. , but still failed to score a goal, and he had to admire the tight defense of the opponent. He looked up at Robben and comforted: "It doesn't matter, there is still time, there will always be opportunities."

"I hope so." Robben wiped his sweat with his clothes, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Alan, I've always wanted to ask you, how did you avoid the opponent's tackle? Just now I saw the opponent That No. 14 shoveled you many times."

"It's nothing. I reacted quickly. When he made a move, I had already avoided it. Otherwise, it would be bad if I hurt my leg..." Speaking of this, Wang Li suddenly remembered something, and his face flashed With a strange expression on his face, he stood up and patted Robben on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, I'll have a chance soon!!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and ran forward again. Behind him, Luo Benzhanger couldn't figure it out. He shook his head helplessly, thinking: "This is the gap between us?" '

In the 75th minute of the game, Damien Duff dribbled the ball from the right for a long distance. When he was about to reach the bottom line, he returned the ball with a high lob and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Obviously , the goal of the ball is still Wang Li's point.

At this time, Harvey Alonso was no longer defending Wang Li. He was replaced by defender Finnan. As a full-back, Finnan has a strong physique and slightly better physical strength than Alonso. He is defending close to the body. He has a lot of experience in this field, but all these things seem to have no effect on Wang Li.

Seeing the football being passed, Wang Li swung his shoulders, squeezed away Finnan and Riise who were defending him closely, and ran directly towards the landing point of the football.

Of course, the Liverpool players would not let him get the ball so easily. At the front of the penalty area, the players' positions were very dense, and Gerrard happened to be standing where the football landed. His eyes were fixed on the flying football. , with a slight downward bend in the body ready to jump up and push the ball out of the danger zone.

In that instant, Wang Li had already run to the left of Gerrard, and his eyes were fixed on the whereabouts of the football.

Under the eyes of all the fans, Gerrard and Wang Li jumped almost at the same time. One red and one black figure stagnated in the sky, but the football was still above their heads. In this case, their bodies collided directly. Together! !

In fact, Gerrard was a little anxious. When he saw that Wang Li could get Chelsea's pass every time, he wanted to preemptively and take off early this time. The skill of jumping is much higher than that of ordinary people. If he takes off vigorously, he is no worse than those basketball players in the NBA. Therefore, he finds the right position and silently evaluates it, and he also takes off ahead of time.

As a result, the two collided together, which caused their bodies to become unbalanced. At this moment, everyone in the audience imagined the next scene in their minds: Gerrard and Wang Li fell together on the ground. On the grass, while the football is cleared by a Liverpool player! !
But in fact, the situation did not develop in that direction. After Wang Li was unbalanced in the air, his left foot exerted internal force in anxiety, stepped on the surface of his right foot, and jumped a little upwards at a diagonal. The football hit him on the head, and then he fell to the ground, twisted his waist forcibly to balance his body, and turned to take Lingbo micro steps and flew to stop the ball.

Shocked! !
Everyone in the audience was shocked by this weird painting that almost violated the laws of physics! !
However, the game would not be stopped by their shock. The two defensive players of Liverpool immediately ran over to grab the ball, and the players in the penalty area were also stuck in the position of the Chelsea striker, so that they had no chance to catch the ball. A threat to Liverpool's goal.

Facing the defense of two Liverpool players and the pursuit of the ball by the full-back Finnan, it is surprising that this time Wang Li did not choose to pass the ball, but took the ball horizontally at the front of the penalty area, which made many The player remembered the Dutch kid Alkin Robben's iconic long shot inside.

So, they immediately blocked Wang Li's shooting angle to prevent his sudden and powerful shot. Almost everyone knew that Wang Li's long-range shot was much stronger than Robben's.

At this time, the Liverpool players who were following Wang Li were also trying their best to grab the ball. In this game, the black-haired boy in front of them kept dribbling the ball, which made their confidence drop sharply, but this was at Anfield, and they Never lose faith here.When Wang Li dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, winger Riise couldn't help but tackled the ball again. Although in the first 10 minutes, he had tackled the ball three times in a row without touching Wang Li's trousers, But this action was almost subconscious, and he also knew that the black-haired kid would definitely be able to dodge it, so he didn't worry that his foul would attract the referee's attention and he would be awarded a free kick.

However, in the process of shoveling the ball on the ground, Riise was surprised to find that he shoveled the 'thing', and then a black body fell directly beside him...

Under the eyes of everyone in the audience, Riise's tackle directly shoveled on Wang Li's right leg, and then the latter fell directly on the grass as soon as he stepped.

"Foul!! Oh my god, it's too serious!!" At the same time, Graham's shouts were immediately heard on the Sky TV sports channel——
"Liverpool's defensive player fouled!! He kicked Allen to the ground, my God, this is too serious, I hope Allen is fine, otherwise this Liverpool player is destined to become a sinner in English football, He is killing the future of English football!! It is too serious, he should be sent off, this kind of pitch violence should be punished with the most severe..."

Although Graham's idea is good, in fact Riise's tackle was not a tackle from the back. Even if it was on the leg of an offensive player, the referee would give a red card for no reason. Field Stadium, even if the penalty will not be biased towards the home team, it will not be biased towards Chelsea, so after the referee ran over, he just showed Riise a yellow card and awarded Chelsea a free kick.

Of course, no one cares about this at this time, even Liverpool fans are concerned about the situation of the black-haired boy who fell on the ground.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Li had already stood up from the grass. He frowned and rubbed his right knee, took two steps on the spot, turned and jumped again, and smiled at his teammates as if he was slightly relieved. He smiled, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing this situation, Mourinho was relieved on the sidelines, but Frank Lampard was the most puzzled person on the pitch at this time. In his opinion, this black-haired boy was almost an iron man. There is almost no good end to tackles, such as Van Nistelrooy... But this time the situation is reversed, he was directly tackled, this serious difference between before and after really puzzled him.

In fact, Wang Li did it on purpose.

Now, in the situation on the court, it is simply a luxury to break through Liverpool's defense and score a goal, but Robben's words reminded him that scoring goals does not require any tactics, and direct free kicks are also feasible. method.

And now, after a simple show, Chelsea got a free kick in a good position.

"This position is about 25 meters away from the goal, in the middle, definitely a good position!" At this time, the straight-line distance of the free kick was also shot at the bottom of the screen.

Liverpool coach Benitez stood anxiously on the sidelines, complaining in his heart that 'Rise will make trouble, he is really a waste', while verbally yelling to direct the team's defense against the ball.

At this time, all the Blues fans were excited. In the second half of the game, Chelsea had an absolute advantage, but they got the upper hand and failed to score. This made them feel that the team might face the first defeat from the beginning of the season. But now, Chelsea Got a good chance again, thinking about the free kick of the team's black-haired boy, this ball seems to be sure to score.

Just as they thought, Chelsea didn't go through any discussion at all, and Wang Li stood in front of the ball.

Of course, Liverpool also knew that this black-haired kid was very good at taking free kicks, so they immediately formed a 6-man wall, and other players also kept a close eye on the edge of the penalty area to prevent any accidents. Now the game has reached the 77th. Minutes, after guarding for such a long time, they don't want any more accidents to let Shengli leave.

After Liverpool lined up the human wall, the referee made an OK gesture and blew the whistle lightly, signaling that free throws could start.

Wang Li put down his hands, slightly raised his head and glanced at the direction of the goal, then raised his right leg slightly without warning, and kicked hard at the bottom of the football! !
The football drew a perfect arc, bypassed the jumping wall, and fell straight to the right foot of the goal! !

After Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek saw the ball go around the wall, he immediately rushed to the right, but despite this, the speed of the ball was so fast that the football fell into the net before him.
