Chapter 126 Despair and Complexity

When it comes to Ivan Crewe, most fans will not be too impressed. Even football commentators, football media, etc. are not impressed by Ivan Crewe, maybe they just know the player. , and know he's Derby County's 'second goalscorer' and nothing more.

This sounds strange.

If a small team, like Norwich, Crystal Palace, who have been relegated this season, their second scorer... no, even the first scorer, no one will care, except for the real promise Vic and Crystal Palace fans, who cares who is the player with the most goals in their team?

But Derby County is different. Derby County ranks first in the league, and a win in this game will win the league championship!

Such a team naturally receives a lot of attention, not to mention the second scorer, the team has a goal scorer, or a player who is a threat, will be in the media and fans' attention, so Van der Vaart became famous, Ribery As he became famous, Morris's fame also increased greatly. The young players in the front and back fields, Burton Reiter and Alfred, received a lot of attention... but the team's 'second scorer', as the main right midfielder The Ivan Crewe has not received much attention, and even his name is not as good as Alfred as a defender.

This sounds strange.

Fans outside Derby County, even if they know about Ivan Crewe, ask them to talk about Ivan Crewe's characteristics, maybe they will just say, "A lucky player...?" The reason is that they are not sure, because they don't know the characteristics of Ivan Crewe, they just feel that this player has no characteristics, but he can keep scoring goals, so it comes down to things like luck.

Such a statement is absolutely incorrect. It mainly reflects that "Ivan Kru scored a lot, but he is not famous".

In fact, Ivan Kru is not very famous. The reasons are intricate.

The first point to mention is his style, like Ribery, who has not scored many goals this season, but Ribery's football is always attractive, just by virtue of his superb footwork. He is enough to attract the attention of many fans. At this point, even if Ivan Crewe scores goals, he is often tactical to find opportunities. His skills are not 'fancy', and his personal dribbling ability is not outstanding. This style is not popular with fans. type.

Speaking of age... Ivan Kru is almost 27 years old after all!

Even if he scores a lot, a player of his age. It's past its rapid rise to fame. If he was three years younger, the number of goals alone would be enough for the English media to report him wildly, but a 27-year-old player will be really old in two years.

The last thing to talk about is the position of Ivan Crewe.

Ivan Crewe is the right wing midfielder. This position is not a problem in other countries, but it is different in England, because England's main right midfielder is captain David Beckham. Consider Ivan Crew's age, in other words. Ivan Crewe has little hope of breaking into the England squad for a first-team spot.

Because of this, a player who is not destined to play for the national team naturally receives a lot less media attention, even if he scores a lot of goals in the league.

So now, at Old Trafford, when Ivan Crewe stood in front of the ball and was about to take a free-kick, many people made a sound of surprise--

"Ivan Kru?"

"Shouldn't it be Raphael van der Vaart who took the penalty? Ribery can too! How can you go up to such an unknown guy!"

"How Derby County's penalty kicks are distributed!"

"Is this guy okay?"

"..."

Most of these doubts came from non-Derby County fans and the media, but they did not affect the game on the pitch, and at this time Ivan Crewe was ready to take a free throw.

Derby County did not use any deceptive stances. Only Ivan Crewe stood in front of the ball. It was obvious that Ivan Crewe took the penalty.

Manchester United have lined up a wall of people.

Ivan Crewe stared in the direction of Manchester United's goal, jumped in place twice, and then stood there waiting for the referee to signal a penalty.

All cameras are pointed at him.

There is no doubt that Ivan Crewe is the protagonist of the audience at this time. Any TV station that broadcasts the game, the camera is given to him, and every action of his is clearly seen by countless fans.

Ivan Kru also thought of the current situation, and he was somewhat excited.

In fact, Ivan Crewe also wants to be famous. As a professional player, who doesn't want to be famous? It's a pity that his age and skills have made him less famous than many of his teammates.

Even so, Ivan Crewe is very satisfied - three years ago, no, two years ago, he was a substitute for 'Second League team' Derby County, and now he is 'League Champions' Derby County. The starting full-back, what's not to like about it? And he is also famous now. At least many people know his name, and his personal salary has also increased significantly. In short, Ivan Kru is still very satisfied with his current situation.

But Ivan Kru still has a heart that wants to be famous.

Now is a great opportunity!

In front of all the fans, put this ball into Manchester United's goal, just use the ball to expand the score again, help the team to seal the victory, and seal the league championship at the same time... This is too tempting!

Ivan Kru is very clear that as long as he can score the ball, the team can seal the victory in advance, and this wonderful goal will also belong to him, and he will become the key figure for the team to win. Thinking of this, he feels The heart beat a little faster.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the wall in front of him and the goal in the distance.

"This ball must be scored!"

"For the team's victory, championship, and... let everyone see my ability!" Ivan Kru thought firmly.

......

Manchester United will not underestimate Ivan Crewe.

In fact, they can't afford to underestimate their opponents now, because they are already two goals behind. In this case, there is absolutely no room for mistakes, even if some players don't think Ivan Kru's free kick will be a big threat, But they still take defense very seriously.

sidelines. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is also watching the game carefully.

The old jazz is very clear that Manchester United's chances are running out. If the game continues as normal, it can only be said that the team still has a little hope of tying the score, but if Derby County can score this goal. Then Manchester United have no chance. In the case of three goals behind, the game can even be announced early, and Derby County can also start celebrating the league title early.

And the position of this free kick is too dangerous!

The player who was about to make a free throw, Ferguson also knew, now that Derby County is famous, naturally everything is transparent, and Ivan Crewe can become the player who scored second only to Van der Vaart in the Derby County team. The shooting technique is absolutely excellent. And Ferguson saw other things even more - Derby County had a free kick just now, such a good opportunity, their players did not even discuss, Ivan Crewe stood over, no one objected to his teammates, no People are arguing... If it wasn't negotiated before the game, then the Derby County players have a lot of trust in Ivan Crewe's footwork, and it can even be said that Ivan Crew takes a free kick from that position. convince.

Ferguson wants the former.

If Derby County has already negotiated the penalty shooters in various positions. Naturally, there is nothing to be afraid of, except that the young Chinese did a good job. But if it's the latter...it's really dangerous!

This free-kick position is inherently dangerous, let alone a player who is good at free-kicks, any player with good footwork is likely to score. In this case, the Derby with star players such as Van der Vaart and Ribery In the county, all the players would actually believe in a player, and no one scrambled to take the penalty. Does that mean that the ball must be scored.

Thinking of this, Ferguson was even more worried.

......

Wan Sheng also stood on the sidelines and watched the ball seriously.

Unlike Ferguson, Wansheng knows his players very well. There is no doubt that Ivan Crew will take the ball, because that position is what he is good at.

In the team, there are many players who can take free kicks. Van der Vaart, Ribery, even Maurice and Kluivert can play well, but Ivan Klui is definitely the best among them. It can be seen from the data attributes of the football training master system that Ivan Klui also showed his strong free-kick ability during training and competitions.

Ivan Crew's free kick attribute evaluation has already exceeded '95', plus the various attributes and state bonuses of Wansheng's coaching skills, in the official game, Ivan Crew's free kick ability is absolutely outstanding. Not weaker than David Beckham.

And Ivan Crewe's free kick is also one of Derby County's scoring methods.

Although Ivan Crewe is not conspicuous, in fact, he has helped the team score 6 goals with free kicks this season. This data may not be comparable to Beckham's performance at Manchester United, but you know, Derby County has a lot of scoring methods, and it is quite good to be able to score six in Ivan Crew's free kick.

Derby isn't an England team after all... can't win a game without a Beckham free kick...

But Ivan Crew's inconspicuous performance will not affect his ability. This ball, a perfect position, coupled with the world's top free kicker, the chances of scoring are too great.

Wan Sheng clenched his fists, resisted the excitement in his heart, and watched with wide eyes.

This is the chance to directly decide the outcome of the game!

With this goal, the team will be able to lead by three goals. At that time, even if Manchester United players have the fighting spirit, it will be meaningless to persevere to the end. Three goals are enough to ensure that the team will win the victory. On behalf of the team can firmly win the league championship!

"Come on, Ivan!"

Wan Sheng waited silently.

......

All eyes were on the direction of Manchester United's goal.

The referee signaled that it was time for a free throw, Ivan Kru took two steps back, took a deep breath, and then trotted towards the football.

In the rhythm, Ivan Krew raised his right leg!

His eyes were fixed on the wall, and the corner of his eye was on the goal and the football. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and sat every movement according to his feeling. At this time, his free throws really seemed like a textbook - three steps to the ball, Even the steps are the same distance, and then he swings his right foot and brushes the side of the football with the instep.

The football suddenly flew off the grass and spun into the air!

Manchester United goalkeeper Carroll squatted in front of the goal and stared at Ivan Crewe's feet. He hoped that the wall could block the shot, so that he would not have to face danger and the goal would be much safer, but unfortunately after the opponent shot , he saw the football rush past the wall of people.

It's a curveball, and it spins a lot!

While judging the route of the football, Carroll took two steps back unconsciously. When he saw the football turning and rushing towards him, he took off and made a save.

But as soon as he jumped up, he knew that he had made a mistake in his judgment!

The arc of this shot was too large, and his prediction was wrong. As a result, he could only watch the football pass in front of his hands.

Carroll felt a deep sense of despair as the football flew by.

The third one...

The mood of all the Manchester United people in the audience was not much better than that of Carroll. They watched the football fly into the air, spared a big arc and fell directly into their own goal.

This kind of ball...seems familiar?

Manchester United people felt a familiar feeling, and they quickly thought of a name - David Beckham. A few years ago, Beckham used such arcs to shoot, helping Manchester United to defeat opponents again and again. It was a wonderful time.

But now, similar goals belong to the opponent, and the eyes of many Manchester United fans have become complicated. (To be continued ~^~)
