Chapter 258 The essential qualities of a world-class goalkeeper (Third update, please vote for me)

After Chen Yingxiong helped the team equalize the score, Liverpool was very satisfied. They got an away goal. In addition, there are forty-five minutes left in the game and they still have a chance. There is not much time left before the end of the first half. Liverpool is on the safe side and cannot afford to concede another goal in the last few minutes...

So at the end of the first half, the score on the field was 1:1.

However, something was wrong with Leyali's performance during this period. He has not yet recovered from the shadow of losing the ball, but what he is best at has been ruthlessly torn apart by others. The young Lealli could not accept this fact for a while.

Fortunately, Liverpool did not continue to attack in the first half, otherwise Liverpool might have reversed the lead in the first half.

As soon as the first half ended, Buffon stood up from his seat and walked straight onto the court.

He really likes Laiyali as a child and thinks he is humble and hard-working. He also hopes that Leialli can take over from him at Juventus and the Italian national team.

So to see Leialli encounter a test in his career, he has to use his experience and identity to help him get through it.

As a goalkeeper, this is actually the only way to go.

He quickly stepped forward and put his arm around Lyali's shoulders.

Laiali was still blaming himself and shocked when he was suddenly hugged and startled.

He looked up and saw that it was his idol and teacher Buffon.

"Don't take it to heart, Nicola. Your performance is perfect, this ball has nothing to do with you."

"But, but... Ji'an, I took off early and judged the direction correctly. I think I can definitely stop it... This kind of thing shouldn't happen to me..." Laiyali looked very frustrated.

Buffon ran his hands through his hair.

"Idiot, there is no ball that can be blocked for sure? You have to remember, Nicola. Today's game may be the most valuable lesson in your growth experience. You blocked the best ball on the planet. The center forward's shot, you also let him score the goal... This is the game of football. There is no ball that you can definitely stop. When you think like this, you are not far away from conceding the ball. You know Yes, the goalkeeper must not make mistakes, because once you make a mistake, you will pay a very heavy price. So no matter what the situation, you must concentrate on it and treat every shot of the opponent as the most difficult ball to save. treat."

Buffon said to him as he walked off the court with Leialli in his arms. He spoke very slowly, trying to keep his tone calm. He didn't want to irritate Leyali and make the other party think that he was blaming him.

He wants to treat Laiyali like a friend.

Under his guidance, Leyali's mood finally calmed down.

Buffon patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, didn't I just lose a goal? Cheer up!"

Then he looked around, lowered his voice and said to Lealli: "I'm going to say something bad, Nicola. If you want to be a world-class goalkeeper, you must be mentally prepared to be abused. You are not pouting." You can't be a world-class goalkeeper if your butt picks a lot of balls out of the goal."

Hearing Buffon say this suddenly, Leialli was surprised: "Why do you say that, Gian?"

"When you have experienced such a bad game, if you have not been knocked down by bad luck, psychologically you have the qualities to become a world-class goalkeeper. The next step is nothing more than technical training. and the accumulation of experience.”

Lyali nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that he had listened to his words, Buffon ruffled his hair again.

"Your performance in the first half was really good. I'm not saying this to encourage or comfort you. It's true." Buffon gave him a thumbs up. "Just keep playing like this in the second half, Nicola."

"I will, Ji'an. I won't let you down!" The young man made a promise to his idol and master.

Buffon smiled and touched his hair.

The score of 1:1 made the morale of the Juventus players not very high. After all, the opponent got an away goal.

But no one blamed Leialli for conceding the ball.

This goal conceded is really not his responsibility. If someone must be found responsible, it can only be captain Chiellini.

But how can we go to trouble the captain? Naturally, no one will say anything about this lost ball - just accept it as your own bad luck.

What should be considered now is not who is responsible for causing the goal to be conceded.

Instead, think about what to do in the second half.

Conte is quite satisfied with the team's performance, which shows that his guidance is correct. As for Chen Yingxiong's goal, there is really nothing that can be done... Chiellini cannot be blamed for that goal, because if Chiellini did not return to defense, the space behind him would also be used by Liverpool.

He chose to cover the space behind him, but he didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to seize the opportunity and score such a goal...

And such a ball, let alone Leialli, even if Buffon comes, he may not be able to save it.

He really had nothing to say.

The atmosphere in Liverpool's dressing room was slightly more relaxed. Because Liverpool has already scored an away goal. Half of the task has been completed.

If it can come with a win, that would be even better. But if not, there is nothing to regret. 1:1 can guarantee that Liverpool will have more room for maneuver when returning to home. Even if they lose the game 1:2, Liverpool only need to win 1: 0 can eliminate Juventus.

The tactics in the second half are also very simple. They are still defensive counterattacks. If there is an opportunity to attack, leave it to the four people in the frontcourt to handle it.

Chen Yingxiong's goal is a good illustration that the tacit understanding of the frontcourt attack combination has been developed.

The halftime break went by quickly and there were no issues for either side.

Juventus must continue to attack. This is their home court. They were tied 1:1 by Liverpool, which is considered a failure.

So we must score goals, try to score as many goals as possible, and add a few more goal differences on the basis of victory to pave the way for promotion in the next round.

As for Liverpool, the 1:1 score has made them invincible. Next, they just need to hold on and counterattack. If there is a chance, they will counterattack. If there is no good opportunity, they will continue to defend.

Just like that, the second half of the game began.

The scene didn't change much from the first half.

It was Juventus who besieged Liverpool, and Liverpool took the opportunity to counterattack or something.

At the end of the first half, Leialli's performance worried many commentators. Because after conceding the ball, Leialli obviously suffered a blow.

So they all felt that if Leialli could not get out of this psychological state, Juventus would probably lose the ball in the second half.

Unexpectedly, after the second half of the game started, everyone quickly discovered that Leyali had swept away the decline at the end of the first half.

His performance is back to normal again!

The evidence is that he blocked Suarez's shot in front of the goal. Suarez's shot was very powerful, but he was able to hold on to the football without letting go.

This is enough to show that Suarez was focused when he shot.

This made many Juventus fans breathe a sigh of relief.

Leialli is normal, and Juventus will have one less big hidden danger.

Seeing Leialli's save, Buffon couldn't help but applaud his apprentice.

Chen Yingxiong looked at Laiyali.

This kid was not affected by his goal in the first half. It took one intermission to recover.

Interesting, very interesting!

His evaluation of Laialli went from "somewhat interesting" at first, to "somewhat interesting" later, and now to "very interesting". This process of change also illustrates the importance he attaches to Lealli from the initial ignorance to the present.

This is indeed an excellent goalkeeper. All he lacks is experience...

However, wouldn’t it be more fulfilling to defeat such an excellent goalkeeper?

Since Buffon is about to retire, let's beat the new Buffon!

Chen Yingxiong quickly tested Leyali's quality with a long shot.

This time he kept the football firmly under his body and didn't even give Liverpool a corner kick.

Then Juventus surrounded Liverpool's half and bombarded them indiscriminately.

Chen Yingxiong all retreated to the center circle.

But his task is not to defend, but... to wait for a counterattack.

He knew that Liverpool wouldn't have many chances to counterattack. Juventus was attacking like crazy and Liverpool's defense was under great pressure.

So he actually doesn't have much chance to play with this Laialli. He wants to score as soon as possible and completely open up the situation.

Didn't some people criticize him as the prolific shooter because he has the most shots in the Premier League?

Then he now wants to show those people whether he is the King of Rogue Shooting!

Efficiency, this game will test your own scoring efficiency.

After Juventus bombarded for a long time, Liverpool got a chance to counterattack. For such a short period of time, Liverpool's counterattack was impossible because they couldn't even get past halftime.

Therefore, if we talk about Liverpool's counterattack, whether it is passing or dribbling, it must be able to get the football through the center circle.

Just like this time.

Chen Yingxiong got the ball in the center circle. He turned his back to the direction of attack, and behind him was Chiellini who was pressing against him.

He couldn't turn around. But he didn't intend to turn around.

Relying on his physical advantage, he ignored Chiellini's interference and then calmly distributed the football to the wing. To Sanchez on the right.

Another counterattack!

The noise in the New Alpi Stadium suddenly increased, and so did the voices of the commentators.

"Liverpool is coming! Liverpool is coming again! This time it's Sanchez!"

This situation reminded them all of Chen Yingxiong's goal in the first half. Is it going to happen again this time?
