Chapter 593 "Gatekeeper"
The on-site commentator Reca exclaimed: "Gao is really amazing! He actually saved Lampard's penalty kick. In history, the only goalkeeper with such a short height is Mexico's Campos. Campos, who was born as a forward, is a mystery. , ranging from 1.68 to 1.78 meters, which is probably about the same height as Xiao Donggao. Even if Gao's performance behind is not good, just based on today's penalty kick, Xiao Donggao will definitely be remembered by the fans."
Lampard missed the penalty kick, but no one recognized Gao Xiaodong's goalkeeping skills. Everyone thought it was Lampard's abnormal performance and Gao Xiaodong's good luck.
After the kick-off in the center circle, Chelsea's magic lamp Lampard, who had just missed a penalty kick, wanted to save face and fired directly from about 28 meters away, volleying into the upper right corner of the goal.
Lampard didn't exert much force in this kick, and mainly used angles. This was to bully Gao Xiaodong because he was short. If Cesar was standing in front of the goal, Lampard would definitely use his full strength when he hit the goal, even if it missed the goal.
It is very difficult to save such high-altitude balls that hit the left and right corners. It has high requirements on the goalkeeper's flexibility, jumping ability, reaction ability, and judgment.
However, this was not a problem for Gao Xiaodong. Twenty years of professional experience was no joke. As soon as Lampard's long shot left his feet, Gao Xiaodong accurately judged the speed and angle of the ball. He quickly moved laterally and flew diagonally. Jump up and stretch your palms to block the incoming ball.
Although Lampard did not exert his full strength, his power was not small. However, when Gao Xiaodong reached out, he found that the impact was much smaller than expected. He wanted to block the ball, but immediately changed his mind and held the ball with both hands. Living.
The fans in the stands were a little nervous at first, but when they saw Gao Xiaodong easily holding the ball, they immediately cheered.
After Gao Xiaodong landed, he immediately threw the ball and launched an attack.
Gao Xiaodong was very powerful. He threw the ball directly across the midfield to forward Eto'o, just like a big kick.
After throwing the ball, Gao Xiaodong thought for a moment and immediately realized why Lampard's long-range shot had such little impact on his palm. This is because this pair of adaptive super gloves has a resistance force of 50 kilograms.
Gao Xiaodong was overjoyed because he could cushion the 50 kilogram impact of his opponent's long-range shot, allowing him to hold onto many balls that needed to be hit, thus virtually reducing his opponent's chances for follow-up shots.
Chelsea defended very well. Eto'o's counterattack failed to result in a shot. The ball fell to Chelsea's feet again. This time Mikel made a long pass to Inter Milan's penalty area to find Drogba.
Lucio and Drogba tried their best to get the position, but Gao Xiaodong rushed from the goal line to the penalty area, jumped high, stretched his arms, put his palms together in the air and hit the ball , hit the ball out of the penalty area with his fingertips,
The falling body also knocked down both Lucio and Drogba.
Falling to the ground, Gao Xiaodong was surprised again. It turned out that when he touched the ball, this glove actually became as hard as steel, which was equivalent to lengthening the palm of his hand. Black technology gloves, really awesome.
Gao Xiaodong attacked so strongly, let alone Toldo, even Cesar rarely attacked like this. Cesar is a stable goalkeeper and he will not take such risks.
However, Gao Xiaodong's attack was very passionate, and the fans enjoyed watching it. The stands immediately burst into cheers.
"Hold the grass! This bounce is awesome!"
"Such speed! Such bounce!"
"You can jump a bit higher than Balak!"
Without Gao Xiaodong's suppression, Malouda became active on the wing. He assisted Inter Milan's half and passed the ball at a 45-degree angle, hoping to bomb Inter Milan's college entrance examination.
This time Ballack rushed into the penalty area and Drogba knocked on the door. Lucio and Samuel followed closely to prevent Ballack and Drogba from rushing forward.
Facing tough guys like Ballack and Drogba, Gao Xiaodong was not afraid at all. He rushed out, raised his knees, and hit the ball again with both palms.
Gao Xiaodong once again received cheers from the fans.
Mourinho also applauded on the sidelines. In training, Gao Xiaodong's goalkeeping skills were very skilled, but it was not shocking. But in the real game, Mourinho discovered that personality adds too much to skills. Gao Xiaodong's attack range, the entire penalty area is his territory, it seems to be easier to use than Cesar.
After Gao Xiaodong made three outstanding saves and clearances, the 45 minutes of the first half passed, and referee Gonzalez gave 2 minutes of stoppage time.
With a solid back line and inspired by Gao Xiaodong's bravery, Inter Milan's players began to attack Chelsea.
Without Gao Xiaodong, Sneijder took on more organizational and scheduling tasks. However, Chelsea, with one more player, had a huge advantage in the midfield. Motta and Cambiasso did not dare to assist, so Sneijder only had more to do. If you can distribute the ball to the wing and let Eto'o and Maicon, who is assisting, launch the attack, it will be difficult to break the opponent's defense. Even if it can be passed into the penalty area, Milito and Sneijder will not be able to grab the landing spot.
In the last minute of stoppage time, Inter Milan wanted to beat Chelsea to no avail, but Cambiasso, Motta and Lucio all pressed forward.
Inter Milan's sudden attack worked well. Lucio passed the ball and Sneijder got a chance to shoot from the front of the penalty area. However, Cech's performance was also excellent. He blocked Sneijder's half-turn shot with his fists. restricted area.
Lampard grabbed the spot in his own 30-meter area, and the stoppage time was about to end. Chelsea's magic lamp turned directly and swung towards Inter Milan's half, allowing Drogba to grab the spot.
In Inter Milan's half, only Samuel and Motta were left to guard Chelsea's monster Drogba. After Lampard passed the ball over the top, Motta immediately went over to block Drogba, and Samuel went to grab the ball. point.
This division of labor was originally very correct, but Motta was too weak and had a yellow card. He did not dare to foul. He was knocked away by Drogba and did not play a blocking role. Samuel was the last defensive player and he did not If he dares to foul, the foul will be a red card. He can only compete with Drogba for his body and speed.
Samuel's body and speed were inferior to Drogba's. As soon as their bodies came into contact, Samuel fell behind and was forcibly surpassed by Drogba.
The Inter Milan fans in the stands had their hearts in their throats again, this was a one-on-one goal!
Indeed, as long as Drogba catches up with the ball, it is a one-man goal because there is no defender.
But the fans' attention shifted from Drogba and Samuel to the ball, and they suddenly discovered that Gao Xiaodong had rushed out of the penalty area and ran to the thirty-meter area to grab the ball's landing point.
When the ball dropped, Gao Xiaodong had already arrived four or five meters ahead of Drogba.
Gao Xiaodong did not make a clearance. He raised the arch of his foot and the ball just passed the top of Drogba, who was running forward. Then, before the ball hit the ground, he headed the ball a little further and passed it to Samuel.
This scene is so inspiring.
Suddenly, there was a wave of applause from the stands.
The on-site commentator Reka shouted wildly: "Oh my god! Gao Xiaodong threw the ball over the top of the goalkeeper to trick Drogba! Is he still a goalkeeper? He rushed outside the penalty area to defend like a defender. He is a goalkeeper and A combination of a defender and he’s a keeper?”
Ancelotti suddenly felt like a loser. He originally thought that goalkeeper Toldo was sent off. Gao Xiaodong's guest goalkeeper was Inter Milan's biggest shortcoming. Now Gao Xiaodong is not only not a shortcoming, he even seems to have taken care of the defender's job. .
Mourinho was no less surprised than Ancelotti. Originally, he was worried about Gao Xiaodong's height and worried that the high-altitude ball would be shot by his opponent. Now it seems that Gao Xiaodong has brought his speed, jumping and judgment to the extreme. One person even He worked as a goalkeeper and defender.
Mourinho crossed himself and said to himself, God bless, using Gao Xiaodong as the goalkeeper is a damn wise decision!
In the VIP box, Abramovich was speechless. Moratti and Blanca looked at each other. They couldn't say anything. They felt like they were watching a movie. Do goalkeepers play like this in real life? The range of movement is so wide, almost like that of a defender. This is the Champions League. Are we going to dribble the ball forward like Higuita and Campos? (.)
