Chapter 124
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves again (first update, please vote for me!)
Chen Yingxiong stood a few meters behind the football. In front of him was a human wall. Behind the human wall was the left side of the goal. Goalkeeper Krul was on the other side of the human wall. The human wall blocked the near corner and the goalkeeper guarded the far corner. . This is a pretty standard free kick defensive strategy.
Generally speaking, this left-sided free kick is kicked by a player who is good at curling the ball with his right foot. The football can go around the top of the wall, draw an arc, and go straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Of course, this is an ideal situation. of.
However, this does not mean that it can only be kicked by right-footed players. Players who are good at using their left foot can also kick it, but the arc must go around the outside of the wall and go straight to the near corner of the goal. This is still the ideal trajectory. .
In addition to choosing the near corner, you can also choose the far corner. In short, there are many options, and it all depends on the method that the free throw shooter is good at.
Basically a free kick is a battle of wits between the penalty taker and the goalkeeper.
It depends on who can guess correctly, the skill is high.
In the last free kick, Chen Yingxiong hit a falling leaf ball.
Krul didn't think he could get another leaf ball. That thing depended on luck. He didn't believe that Chen Yingxiong was so lucky.
He guessed that Chen Yingxiong would kick the football to the near corner nine times out of ten, which was what most players would choose.
After all, there is a goalkeeper in the far corner and only a wall in the near corner. As long as he can let the football bypass the wall and hit it within the goal frame, the probability of scoring a goal is quite high.
So he was already prepared. When Chen Yingxiong started to take action, he would rush towards the near corner!
Prepared, he lowered his waist and stared at the football through the wall.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Chen Yingxiong started to run!
※※※
The hero took a long approach and stepped in front of the football in two or three steps, then swung his right foot!
If given a slow motion, maybe people would be able to see Chen Yingxiong’s batting action clearly. He did not use the entire instep to hit the football, but only used the front end of the instep, commonly known as the toes, to hit the ball.
The football soared into the air.
This time Newcastle's wall jumped up to stop Chen Yingxiong's free kick.
To this end, they also found a few big men to line up in the wall, hoping to block the football with their heads.
If Suarez were a Newcastle player, he would definitely warn his teammates not to do this, because it may be more dangerous than conceding a goal... But what does the life and death of Newcastle players have to do with Suarez? He won't be that kind person. Anyway, if Chen Yingxiong hits them on the head, they will soon know the consequences of doing so...
However, the ball did not hit Newcastle's wall of players, it still flew high over the wall.
Because of the biased position, this free kick was taken further away from the goal than the previous one. The distance shown in previous television broadcasts was thirty-two meters.
This distance allows Chen Yingxiong to kick the football with enough time to adjust its posture in the air.
Moreover, Chen Yingxiong did not choose the closest point. He aimed at the longest point...the back point!
That's where Krul was.
When Krul saw the football coming out, he subconsciously ran towards the near corner. Just as he took a step, he found something was wrong - the football flew straight towards the back point behind him!
Look at this football again...it barely spins in the air!
He secretly screamed something bad, and flew away in the air, opening his arms to reach the ball.
He still slowed down, jumped up and threw the ball with his back, and the distance was enough. The football easily passed over his fingers, then fell, and plunged into the goal!
Almost a dead end!
"ah……"
"this……"
"sky……"
The commentators were stunned for a moment, but Liverpool's old commentator reacted the fastest. He shouted: "The ball has been scored again!! We equalized the score! Liverpool equalized the score! Hero! Hero! Liverpool's hero! He scored Twice! Both goals were scored from free kicks! Beautiful! Two fallen goals! So beautiful!!"
Amid his roars, Newcastle's St James' Park...oh no, the Sports Direct Stadium fell silent.
※※※
"Another one! Another one! Wonderful! Beautiful!"
"The hero scored twice! Two free kicks, really amazing!"
"The ball is scored...Hero! Hero! Hero!! He scores again!"
"Comrades! This is the legendary fallen leaf ball!!"
In China, the commentators from various local stations reacted first than the commentators on the scene, and they cheered when the football flew into the goal. Explain Chen Yingxiong’s goal in language with their strong personal style and regional style.
The Chinese fans had already waved their fists excitedly.
"Well done hero!"
"After the goal drought was over, two goals were scored!"
"After two and a half games, the hero is finally a man!"
※※※
In the Principality of St. James in Newcastle, oh no... it was the Sports Direct Stadium. The brief silence disappeared. What came to mind were the cheers of the Liverpool fans, the exclamations of the Newcastle fans, and the shouts of the commentators.
These sounds converged into a surge, stirring up this old stadium with a history of 120 years. Even Mike Ashley, who was sitting on the main stage, felt his chair shaking.
Amid the huge noise, Chen Yingxiong ran to the bottom of the stands, waving his fists and roaring.
This is not a pretense to celebrate a goal, this is a natural outlet for his inner emotions.
He is really happy that he scored two free kicks in one game. This level is really good for him! From now on, Lao Huizi will have another magical weapon in his arsenal!
I can win you without having to fight all the time!
Teammates swarmed up and hugged Chen Yingxiong. Suarez also rushed to Chen Yingxiong's body, hugged his neck, and waved his fists toward the stands together.
From two goals behind to tying with Liverpool, the players also experienced ups and downs in mood, making this draw even more precious.
Liverpool's performance has been unsatisfactory for several games. When faced with difficulties, they do not have the ability or will to fight back. Many players themselves feel that they have no fighting spirit and motivation.
But Chen Yingxiong's two goals changed this bad situation, and Liverpool finally showed signs of coming back to life!
Dalglish had the same idea, so when he came out to celebrate, he clenched his fists and waved them vigorously. An old face flushed - that was excitement.
If the first free kick can be said to be luck, then how to explain the second free kick?
The hero is really resurrected...
※※※
"Another fallen leaf ball?" The commentator was shocked.
They did not expect that Chen Yingxiong could really score two free kicks in one game and the scoring methods were exactly the same, both falling leaves.
The football barely spins and has a noticeable dip in front of the goal. This is a typical characteristic of fallen leaf balls!
People can still say things like "lucky" and "blind" after just one goal, but two goals are still luck? Or just blind? I'm afraid their own consciences won't allow them to say this.
Within sixteen minutes, two falling leaf balls were blindly revealed in a row. You ask them to find someone to blindly try...
They had to begin to accept the fact that Chen Yingxiong might have really mastered the true meaning of falling leaf kicks and be able to kick such wonderful free kicks...
"What a beautiful goal... It seems that this is not luck. The hero must have practiced free kicks secretly... But we don't know when he started practicing..."
"The hero has subverted our common sense. He is simply a monster! Excellent header! Excellent long-range shot! Now there are free kicks! He is only 24 years old, God! What can he bring to us in the future? How many surprises?!”
"Liverpool relied on Chen Yingxiong's brace to draw with Newcastle in the away game. They conceded two goals in a row within 16 minutes, and they were all free kicks. The Newcastle people will definitely feel that they were wronged..."
Newcastle players and fans do feel they have been wronged.
"Didn't you say he was blinded? Then this ball is also blinded?"
"It's almost a dead end... Isn't this level too scary?"
"Really a fallen leaf ball?"
"Is he a monster? I haven't heard that he knows or practices free kicks..."
"So it's equalized? Aren't we two goals ahead?"
Whether they are players or fans, they all have questions of one kind or another in their hearts. Of course, there is also a trace of fear deep inside that they will never admit.
This person is really terrifying!
Newcastle fans suddenly started attacking their club's chairman Mike Ashley again.
Obviously, they thought it was Ashley's fault that the team was tied within sixteen minutes.
Although this matter has nothing to do with Ashley, who told you that you just did something that made the fans angry?
※※※
Everyone reacted to the ball. So did the reporters in the press gallery.
"Okay, tomorrow's newspaper title has been decided, it's called The Hero's Resurrection!"
"Either he doesn't score in two and a half games or he scores two in one. The hero's state is really like a roller coaster..."
"Two free kicks in a row? Has the hero mastered the ability of free kicks? Then there is something more to look forward to in the future..."
They have so much to tell readers and fans about this game.
※※※
After Chen Yingxiong equalized the score for the team, the morale of the Liverpool team was greatly boosted, while the Newcastle players appeared panicked and listless.
Facing Liverpool's offensive, they could only retreat and did not look like they were fighting at their home court.
They thought they had home field advantage before, but they forgot that the name "St. James Park" was gone and replaced with an extremely unpleasant name "Sports Direct Stadium" that no one accepted. How much of this so-called home field advantage is left?
In the end, Newcastle was tied 2:2 by Liverpool at home. Although Liverpool still has not been able to win, anyone who has watched this game will believe that Liverpool has shown signs of recovery and their future is no longer confused.
But Newcastle's performance is worrying.
"The Principality of St. James" has been buried by the fans, and this team seems to have lost its soul.
Mike Ashley may have a good idea. In order to develop the team, he must sell back some things in exchange for more money.
Football requires capital, a lot of capital.
But anyone involved in football must know that there are some things that are priceless and cannot be sold. (To be continued)
