Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 463 Free kick (seeking monthly ticket)
Arsenal scored the first goal, which made Carlo very headache. The opponent scored a goal just after the game started. He even questioned the idea that Real Madrid's offensive ability is better than Arsenal's at this moment.

If Real Madrid loses in this game, Carlo doesn't know how to face these loyal fans and how to face the pressure from the club's top management.

Although there are two rounds in the game, the first round is very important for Real Madrid. After all, this is a game at the Bernabeu, which is very important for the team's promotion.

Before the start of the game, no one is under more pressure than Carlo. As the head coach of Real Madrid, it must be his responsibility for the team to lose.

For these reasons, when he saw Arsenal's opening goal, Carlo stood up directly from the coach's bench, but he quickly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, knowing that he should trust the players.

What should I do after falling behind Arsenal?
What should I do now?
Carlo's mind was chaotic.
Conceding the goal at the very beginning of the game, the away goal in the Champions League knockout round is too important, and Arsenal seem to get one easily, which makes Carlo extremely heartbroken, yes, heartache, as if the beloved thing was lost It feels the same as being stolen by others.

"What are you doing!! It's a game now, so defend well!"

He immediately walked to the sidelines and yelled, wanting the players to concentrate, enter the game state as soon as possible, and show the strength of Real Madrid.

However, he didn't know that this practice put more pressure on the Real Madrid players.

Anyone who doesn't want to come up will concede the ball. Carlo does not want to, and neither does the Real Madrid players. For the Real Madrid defenders, conceding a goal when they come up is a denial of their strength. This game is the first in the Champions League round of 16 On the field, although everyone was talking and laughing before the game, the players were more or less under pressure.

And when Carlo shouted, their pressure increased.

"We can't make more turnovers." That's what many thought, at least the guards.

"Okay, as the coach said, we should show our strength and don't let the opponent underestimate them. They can only score goals by means of a sneak attack." On the court, the captain Pavon also shouted encouragement teammates.

At this time, Wang Li was already standing in the middle circle, ready to kick off.

Although he is a winger, it is no problem to stand in the center circle to kick off. The head coach did not stipulate his range of activities. He felt that he should return a ball to Arsenal, otherwise the fans thought he was weak today.

In this case, the game restarts again.

The Arsenal players are obviously in a good state of mind. Before the game, they felt that the game would be difficult. Although the head coach reassured them, they still didn't have much confidence in the face of Real Madrid, which has Wang Li and many big-name stars, but The team scored a goal just after the start, which gave them a lot of confidence and allowed them to enter the game state faster.

Comparing the hearts of the two sides, it is obvious that there is a gap. As a Real Madrid player at home, the pressure is on the contrary. This is the role of goals and the role of leading.

So, after the game restarted, before the ball was handed over to Wang Li, it was snatched back by the Arsenal players, and then they launched a fast break against Real Madrid's half.

But this kind of fast break is continuous, that is to say, Real Madrid has not been able to intercept an attack, and the ball kicked by the big foot will be at the feet of Arsenal again.

During this period of time, Wang Li has been standing in the frontcourt waiting for the opportunity.

Now, the Arsenal players seem to have a feeling. They launched a large-scale siege against Real Madrid's penalty area, but there were omissions in defense. Although Wenger asked the two defenders to closely mark Wang Li, when the team attacked. There are only four defenders left in the backcourt.

This scene made Wenger off the court a little worried. He knew that if the black-haired boy in the frontcourt got the ball, then Arsenal's goal was likely to encounter a crisis.

But now that the team is just playing, it is impossible for him to step forward to destroy this state. After all, the opportunity is hard-won. It seems that Real Madrid's goal will soon be broken again.Therefore, Wenger suppressed this anxiety and stared at the game on the court.

In the frontcourt, the football was once again cleared by Ramos. During the opening period, Ramos was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person. This defense made many fans in the auditorium cheer for him.

However, other Real Madrid players have not yet reacted to Arsenal's massive attack. They were completely embarrassed. The football still fell at the feet of Arsenal midfielder Rosicky. After Rosicky grabbed the ball, he passed it again. Fabregas.

Seeing this scene, Wang Li, who was in the front court, even wanted to go back to the defense directly. He felt that Real Madrid could not survive this attack.

But this kind of opportunity is really rare, but he didn't want to give up. Therefore, in this struggle, Fabregas had already passed Zidane's defense and pushed the ball straight to the side.

On the wing, Pires poked the ball and passed it to striker Van Persie on the penalty area line.

Arsenal always have no shortage of strong young players. Last season, the Spanish kid Cesc Fabregas was on the rise. This season, forwards Van Persie and Adebayor both performed very well. In this game, Wenger then sent Van Persie and Henry to partner as double strikers.

After finding the opportunity, Van Persie made a quick pass to the penalty area.Henry didn't even think about it after receiving the ball, he just kicked the goal!
This time, Casillas played a role. He rushed to the right side in an instant and saved the day by throwing the ball out, but there was another figure standing in front of the ball, which was the midfielder Hleb who came in.

But this time Hleb made a contribution, he easily kicked the ball into the empty goal.

The score became 2:0, and Arsenal scored two goals in a row in the opening 5 minutes, making an excellent start.

This goal made the audience silent for a long time. Real Madrid fans watched the game in disbelief. Facing Arsenal's attack, Real Madrid's defense line was as vulnerable as a neodymium membrane. It broke the hearts of loyal Real Madrid fans.

And the head coach Carlo on the sidelines was already at a loss.

This new head coach, at least in terms of mentality, still has a gap with world-class coaches. Seeing Real Madrid trailing by two goals, he couldn't sit still on the coaching bench.

He walked up and down in front of the bench, showing his anxious state of mind.

Faced with the situation of falling behind by two goals, Carlo didn't know what to do.

"It was Arsenal's No. 19 Hleb who scored the goal. This is Hleb's first goal in the Champions League this season. This is also his second goal for Arsenal this season. This goal It is very important, Arsenal leads by two goals, and it seems that Real Madrid is completely vulnerable." The commentator of the British BBC Sports Channel said in a timely manner.

".Since Real Madrid changed coaches, they haven't experienced a defeat yet, and England's superstar Alan Wang has also performed very well, but in this game, Alan has not played much, and Real Madrid has lost consecutively. Two goals, this team can really be described as a bad wall that cannot be supported. No matter how good Allen is and how many goals he can score, they concede more goals. No matter how strong Allen is, there is no good way .”

"...it looks like Arsenal's victory is very close."

Although Wang Li is in Real Madrid, Arsenal is obviously more important to English TV. Now that Real Madrid is Arsenal's opponent, they certainly hope that Arsenal will win.

At the same time, Wang Li also came to the backcourt.

"It's okay, hold on, we're going to fight back."

Wang Li recruited his teammates and said that he felt that if he didn't come forward at this time, Real Madrid's defense would really collapse. You must know that although Real Madrid has so many stars in their performance, they are really not good at playing against the wind. Ball, this situation is too passive.

"We must be steady. They can't beat us offensively. As long as we play our normal strength, we will definitely win."

Even so, Wang Li knows that if he wants to restore the morale of the current team, the most important thing is to speak with facts. Nothing can explain the situation better than scoring a goal.

After the game restarted, Real Madrid launched a wave of steady attacks.

It seems that Wang Li's words still have some effect, at least the performance of the players is much better than before, and they have not messed up.

In the midfield, Baptista passed the ball to Wang Li on the right. After Wang Li got the ball, he did not launch a fast break, but slowly dribbled the ball forward.Now that Arsenal has stabilized their defense, it is not a counterattack, but a rash and fast attack, which obviously has little effect.

After passing an Arsenal winger, Wang Li passed the ball, and he passed the ball directly to the penalty area line and put the ball at the feet of Zidane.

Although Zidane's attack speed in the midfield is very slow, his skills are still trustworthy. At least he will not lose the ball easily. This is Wang Li's definition of Zidane.

The same is the case. After Zidane got the ball, the experienced man first used his body to protect the ball. Seeing that there was no chance, he turned the ball to the left. There was Gravesen's point, but the latter did not. Fighting for a place with an Arsenal player.

Fortunately, this nearly 30-year-old veteran has rich experience. Instead of protecting the ball, he kicked it to Roberto Carlos who was plugging in.

This time, Carlos was a little anxious. He caught the ball past a defensive player and directly chose a long shot. Seeing this shot, Wang Li even regretted passing the ball. It is better for him to use himself for such a reckless shot. Recklessly about the technology.

Sure enough, the opponent's goalkeeper Lehmann easily saved the ball over the baseline, and Real Madrid got a corner kick.

In Real Madrid, Beckham is undoubtedly the number one free-kick taker and penalty shooter, and he immediately walked to the corner flagpole to prepare for a penalty.At this time, there was a crowd of people in the restricted area, crowded with people trying to get better.

At this time, Wang Li was standing outside the penalty area. He didn't go forward to fight for his position. His header was not very good, so he waited for an opportunity near the line of the penalty area.

The opportunity came soon.

Beckham kicked the ball to the back point, and Carlos, who was ambushing there, jumped up and wanted to shoot, but the football was directly hit by Lehman's fists, flying in the direction of Wang Li.

In the fight with the Arsenal players, Wang Li easily grabbed the ball by relying on his lightness, but after looking up at the penalty area for an instant, he did not choose to shoot immediately - there are too many people in the penalty area , the shot does not have any angle at all.

So he dribbles the ball along the paint line, hoping to find a good chance.

But Gallas and Toure, who were in charge of defending Wang Li, didn't know this. Ordinary players must have shot at this time. Seeing that Wang Li didn't shoot, they were a little panicked. He grabbed Wang Li's jersey.

"beep"

The Dutch referee awarded Real Madrid a free kick without hesitation.

In the opening 5 minutes, Arsenal pressed hard and gained an absolute advantage, but now the situation has changed, and it seems that Real Madrid is playing around Arsenal.

And this free kick is in a very good position, which is very threatening to the goal. The football is only 20 meters away from the goal. Seeing the opportunity, Wang Li wants to step forward to take the penalty. He is still sure about the free kick in this position.

But David stepped forward first, and he took most of Real Madrid's free kicks.

Seeing that Beckham was going to take the penalty, Wang Li hesitated. Although they were friends, Wang Li believed in himself more on the court. It wasn’t that he looked down on Beckham, but because he felt that his accuracy was better than that of Beckham. Ham is stronger, and the probability of scoring a goal by him is higher.

Now that the team is behind, it is not the time to be modest, so he stepped forward directly.

"David, let me try?" he asked.

Hearing what Wang Li said, Beckham was obviously a little surprised. He gave Wang Li a strange look, then smiled, and said, "...that's fine."

But to Wang Li's ears, these words felt weird. After all, Beckham was the team's number one free kicker. He always felt that Beckham would be a little bit conflicted when he was rushing to take free kicks. 'the behavior of.

Wang Li explained: "David, I think I will take the penalty"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Beckham waving his hand, "Allen, it's okay, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to stand on the court now, you take the free throw, I'm okay, I believe in you."

Beckham said so with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Wang Li was a little moved. After all, he was the one who grabbed Beckham's free kick.But thinking about their relationship, it's really nothing, isn't it?
So, under the surprised eyes of all the fans, Wang Li walked to the penalty spot and prepared to take a free kick.

"Why didn't David take the penalty? Can Allen do it?" On the coach's bench, Carlo wondered while looking at the court.

A good-looking assistant coach next to him smiled and said: "Allen's free kick is very good. I often see him training with Igor."

"But."

Carlo still hesitated, and he was even thinking about whether to stop it himself, after all, this opportunity is rare.

"Don't worry, sir, I think Allen's free kick is better than David's." Raul, who was sitting next to him, said: "Igor told me that he thinks Allen's free kick is better than David's." More threatening, I believe him."

After listening to Raul's words, Carlo suddenly felt that he was really not a competent coach. He didn't even know the abilities of the players and needed to be reminded by other players.

However, he didn't get too entangled in this issue, and immediately set his sights on the court.

Lehman was a little nervous.

Last season, when Arsenal played against Chelsea, he often faced Wang Li's shots, and the goals he handled were shot into funnels again and again, so in his heart, he still hoped that Beckham would take the lead. Punishment, because Wang Li always has some obstacles in his heart.

However, rationality told him that the black-haired kid was better at taking the penalty. After all, he had never heard of Wang Li's free kicks being excellent.

"He just has a better long-range shot. There is a wall blocking it. Nothing will happen. I can easily hold the ball." He persuaded himself.

But his eyes were still staring at Wang Li, his attitude seemed very serious, but Leman was still a little uneasy, because he felt that since the black-haired boy took the penalty, the opponent must have some strength.

This black-haired boy created miracles again and again, and he was not sure, so it was impossible for him to make free throws so recklessly.

In this state of mind, Lehman stared at the opposite side, he didn't care about the human wall at all, he felt that it would definitely not be able to stop the football kicked by the black-haired boy.

Lehmann was right.

Under the surprised gazes of all the fans, Wang Li didn't run up after hearing the referee's signal for a free throw, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the goal, and he didn't even look at his feet. lower edge.

Seeing this shooting posture, Carlo even directly held his face with both hands. In his opinion, it is more difficult to shoot in this layman's posture. He regretted not stopping it with his own hands just now.

But the next moment, there was a burst of surprise cheers from the audience——
"Ah~~~~~~~~ The ball went in!!!"

"so fast!!"

"Alan!! Alan!! Alan!!!"

At this time, Carlo realized that he quickly raised his head and looked towards the goal, only to find that the football had already jumped around in the Arsenal goal, and the referee also blew the whistle at the right time to make the goal effective.

Lehman's judgment was accurate, the jumping wall couldn't stop Wang Li's shot at all, but even so he couldn't stop it, because the ball was too fast! !
Wang Li kicked the outside of his instep, which caused the football to spin rapidly in the air, crossed a large C-line curve, and fell directly to the left corner of the goal. Although Lehman was somewhat prepared, his reaction speed could not keep up ! !
He can only symbolically jump to one side, but the football has already flown into the goal from the upper left corner.

With that kind of precision, one can tell at a glance that he is a master of free kicks.
