Chapter 53 Sparkling Red Star
The Japanese team won consecutive corner kicks, but this second corner kick did not pose a threat to the Chinese team's goal. After driving out, Sun Pan shouted: "Mine!"
While the words were still lingering, the other person had already jumped into the air, raised his hands in the air, and caught the ball steadily. The dazzling sunlight did not seem to disturb him so much anymore.
After landing, Sun Pan did not hold the football and be cool, but quickly threw the football out of the penalty area and threw the football to Zhou Yi outside - when defending the corner kick, due to his height and strength, Zhou Yi could not Entering the penalty area to participate in the defense is useless even if he comes in. He might even delay his teammates. So he always stayed outside the penalty area. He is not just watching the show outside, he can still help the team's defense, mainly reflected in his control of the second placement of the football.
This situation is not considered a second position, but it does require his ability to control the football.
After adding the football thrown by Sun Pan, in fact, most of the Chinese team's players were still in the penalty area and had not been pulled out. Even if Zhou Yi wanted to pass the ball forward, he could not find the target of the pass.
Therefore, he must control the football and wait for his teammates to intervene. This will test his ball control ability. Players with poor ball control skills simply don't dare to take the ball at the edge of their own penalty area, let alone hold the ball for several seconds. Losing the ball here would be disastrous.
But Zhou Yi could control it.
After he got the ball, the Japanese players immediately came up to grab him.
Faced with this kind of encirclement and grab, he was not in a hurry. He pulled the football under his feet and avoided the feet of the Japanese players who rushed forward.
But this also gives him less room to move.
But he doesn't have to hold the ball for too long. He Ying, who was originally assisting in defense in the penalty area, can run away when Sun Pan hugs the football. Now he has rushed in front of Zhou Yi. In addition, everyone else also ran out of the penalty area, just like clenched fists suddenly spread out and turned into palms.
Many people who play football will have the impression that after one's own team defends a corner kick, regardless of whether the football is cleared or thrown by the goalkeeper, all the players who were originally crowded in the penalty area to defend must run out quickly, and the goalkeeper will also yell. Shouting: "Press out! Press out!"
On the one hand, it is to create offside, and on the other hand, it is to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Now the Chinese team is in a situation of counterattack.
He Ying took the lead and rushed to the front. It was impossible for Zhou Yi to pass the football directly to him.
Because Zhou Yi is now facing the direction of the attack, it is difficult to pass the football to He Ying behind him. The risk is too great.
He chose to pass the football across the field.
He flicked his ankle and poked the football with his toes. It was a very hidden movement. Because the movement was small, it was not easily noticed. The Japanese players who were defending were caught off guard. At the same time, because the movement range is small, the ball can be passed very quickly. When being surrounded, the gap will disappear in a flash. If the movement is slower, the ball may hit the defensive player's foot.
With such a poke from Zhou Yi, the football broke out of the encirclement in a very concealed manner and reached Zhang Jiadong's feet.
At this time, the Japanese players surrounding Zhou Yi had just reacted. They let go of Zhou Yi and went after Zhang Jiadong.
Only Hotaru Yamaguchi remains with Zhou Yi.
After the first half, Zhou Yi was used to having such a shadow around him. He ran forward and participated in the team's counterattack.
In the end, the Chinese team's counterattack failed to threaten the Japanese team's goal.
The Japanese team in turn launched an attack, still taking the wing path, and the two full-backs would actively attack.
Especially their right back Hiroki Sakai.
He just transferred from Japanese club Kashiwa Reysol to Bundesliga club Hannover 96 in June. When he was at Kashiwa Reysol, he played 27 times for the team last season and contributed nine assists. As a full-back, this number of assists is very impressive.
This fully demonstrates that he is a full-back who is good at assisting his teammates to score, and he has very excellent passing skills. Therefore, if the Japanese team plays a cross-passing tactic from the wing, he is a very important point for the ball.
Hiroki Sakai made another beautiful pass, and the football drew a clear arc in the air and flew towards the Chinese team's goal.
"The Japanese team's cross comes again!"
Guo Nu jumped up, intending to compete with Takeyong Sugimoto for the top position, but just as he jumped up, he heard Sun Pan shouting in his ears: "Get out of the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Nu felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and a black shadow came towards him!
"Sun Pan!"
Amidst He Ping's roar, Sun Pan jumped out from the door, killed Guo Nu and Sugimoto Kenyong, and waved his fist towards the sun!
With a bang, his fist hit the football hidden in the sun! Got kicked out of the penalty area!
"Beautiful! Beautiful!" He Ping shouted, "He seems not to be affected by the dazzling sunlight at all! Whether this is the effect of the hat is unknown, but after wearing the red star hat, he The performance in front of goal is indeed back to normal!”
Although everyone is applauding Sun Pan's attack to intercept the cross, in fact, the Japanese team's offense is not over yet.
The football that was knocked outside eventually fell to the feet of Japanese team player Hiroshi Kiyoshi.
The Japanese midfielder didn't hesitate and took a long shot, hitting the goal hard!
What he hit was the gap where Sun Pan fell to the ground after making the save and had no time to get up to save.
But for Sun Pan, who reacts very quickly, he can always surprise people. When he landed, his eyes were always following the football, so he saw Hiroshi Kiyotake kicking outside the penalty area.
Without thinking, he clapped his hands, got up from the ground, and threw himself out sideways.
"Qingwu Hiroshi long shot! Danger!!"
The ball shot by Hiroshi Kiyotake passed through the jungle-like legs in the penalty area, but was blocked by Sun Pan's arm.
The football hit his forearm firmly and popped out again.
This time it bounced to the left.
Otsu Yushu was there. He rushed up in one stride and swung his feet in front of the football.
Sun Pan didn't give up after landing. Although he lost his center of gravity and couldn't maintain his balance at all, he still crawled on the ground using his hands and feet, stumbling towards the football. Because the action was too intense, the hat he was wearing was thrown away, making him look really embarrassed.
It's so embarrassing that people simply don't believe that he can still stop Yuki Otsu's shot.
In front of the goal, Zhang Linpeng has made a temporary guest appearance as goalkeeper, ready to use his body to block Otsu Yuki's shot. In order to avoid handball, he also put his hands behind his back and faced it head-on with his chest!
"There is still a Japanese team!" He Ping's voice was trembling, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited...
"Otsu - Yushu -!!" the Japanese commentator roared in a long voice, as if he wanted to focus all his strength on Otsu Yushu's shot, helping him break through Sun Pan's defense and kick the football Enter the Chinese team's goal.
Otsu Yushu didn't even look at what was going on around him. In his suddenly extremely small field of vision, there was no one else, only the football and the goal. He didn't know what Sun Pan was doing, and he couldn't care about it. He had no time to go. Tube. Now he just needs to shoot and the ball will fly into the huge goal!
Otsu Yuki rounded his thigh and hit the football firmly. This will be a kick that will bring him the confidence that he will score!
He didn't think anyone could stop him from hitting such a powerful ball!
But there are people.
Sun Pan kicked his legs hard while stumbling, throwing all his weight out with his body, and his whole body flew sideways. He also stretched his hands as far forward as possible, no matter which part he used, as long as he could reach the football!
The noise of fans from both sides in the stands almost reached its peak, but at this moment Yushu Otsu suddenly heard a very slight "pop" sound, which seemed to be the sound of friction.
Then he saw a hand appear in his field of vision, and the tip of his middle finger poked the football!
The football in the air jumped suddenly, then changed its line and flew in another direction. That direction was...the bottom line!
Zhang Linpeng fell backward and fell into the goal. He was not knocked down by the football, but he lost his center of gravity and fell during the replay. He did not feel the football hitting him. Did he enter the goal?
He leaned back and looked into the goal. There was no shaking in the net and no football.
Huh?
He was a little surprised.
※※※
"Three consecutive saves! Three consecutive saves! What a great three consecutive saves!" The one who was so excited was not the Chinese commentator He Ping, but the neutral commentator Mark Lawrenson. "Sun Pan made three great saves! He alone made the Japanese team at a loss! They hit the wall repeatedly!"
Watching the football change direction and fly out of the baseline, Yuki Otsu couldn't keep his footing after finishing the shot. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground. He stared at the Chinese team goalkeeper Sun lying on the ground in front of him with wide eyes and incredulous eyes. Hope.
"Goalkeeper! Sun Pan is the goalkeeper of the Chinese team! At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by a god! Three consecutive saves, especially the last two were almost impossible tasks! But he did it all! Let's take a look at Otsu Yuki ... He was so frightened! He must not have thought that someone else could save his kick?! But who is Sun Pan? He was the best goalkeeper in the Europa League last season!" He Ping smiled excitedly stand up.
Otsu Yushu was looking at Sun Pan, but Sun Pan was watching football - after throwing the ball, he lay on the ground, but his eyes were still following the football, and he didn't look away until he saw the football flying out of the baseline.
"This...impossible!!" The Japanese commentator was stunned for about a second before screaming and wailing. "The ball shot by Otsu Yuki didn't even go in! That...Sun Pan is really terrifying! Is his reaction really human!"
The human Sun Pan climbed up from the ground. He did not wave his fists and roar or anything. He just glanced at Otsu Yushu who was kneeling on the ground, then turned around silently, walked back two steps, then bent down and lowered his head to land on the turf. He picked up the red star hat he was wearing, patted the grass clippings on it, and put it on again.
The white hat makes the red star in the center stand out in the bright sunshine, as if it is shining... (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
