Chapter 1391 Shocking One Foot
Marco Roca was stunned when he heard the words, he didn't expect that Xia Ruofei would actually ask him for a test. His footwork is not bad, but he is not the first free-kick in the team. His advantage is that he has good defense and a strong overall view, so he can play the role of midfield and backcourt scheduling, but as far as free kicks are concerned, Not what he's best at.
What's more, Xia Ruofei's current position of swinging the ball, even some free-kick masters, have no certainty.
When the teammates saw Macroca stunned, they couldn't help laughing.
Even the head coach Ruby said with a smile: "Roca! You are one of the fans' favorite young players. Although Mr. Xia is our boss, as a professional player, you are facing a player who has never played professionally. How can you flinch from the challenge of a footballer?"
Melendo, who is about the same age as him and who also came out of the Spaniard's youth training, cheered Marco Roca: "Roca! Nothing can stop you, go kill the boss, you are a hero!"
Mac Roca showed a wry smile, he could have it if he didn't.
So he could only bite the bullet and walk over, and the players and coaches naturally watched the excitement; Zhou Leiyun took Jiang Xiaochen to cheer on Xia Ruofei with great enthusiasm.
Macroca asked cautiously, "Mr. Xia, how do you want to compare?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I can do it! It's better to be simpler, just shoot from a fixed point, and put a dummy on the other side of the goal. After all, there must be a goalkeeper in the real game!"
"No problem!" Macroca thought for a while and said, "But... you can't win or lose with one goal. We each play 10 goals, and the one who scores more wins, is that okay?"
Marco Roca proposed this rule, of course, in order to eliminate the influence of luck as much as possible to get a kick out of the world wave, and with 10 consecutive kicks, it is always impossible to perform super-level performance with every kick, right?
"Agree!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Since it's a competition, I'll have some luck. If I lose, I'll invite all the first team, including coaches, team doctors, translators and other staff, to the best restaurant in Barcelona. Eat a big meal!"
Players, coaches and staff cheered.
Marco Roca heard the words and said: "Okay! If I lose, I also..."
He originally wanted to say that he would also invite everyone to a big meal. He is now considered a first-team star. Although inviting the whole team to consume a big meal will make him feel a little bit of a pain,
But it's not too expensive to consume.
However, Xia Ruofei waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "If I win by luck, then you just promise me that you will have at least one assist in the next round of the league, how about it?"
Marco Roca hesitated for a moment. The next round of Espanyol is to challenge Valencia away. This is a traditional strong team in La Liga. Although there may be a little gap compared with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, they are also regulars in European wars. The Spaniards are much stronger.
Coupled with the fact that the Spaniards are playing away from home, it is not easy to score goals in this situation.
But for the sake of this, Macroca couldn't back down. He nodded after a little hesitation and said, "No problem! If I can't do it by then, I'll invite the whole team to a big meal, two meals!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and gave Macroca a high-five to reach an agreement.
The staff moved another dummy and placed it in front of the goal. As a result, the shooting angle, which was originally small, is now even smaller. If you want to shoot directly, you must avoid the wall and at the same time. Open the "goalkeeper", and at such a long distance, if the ball is not fast enough, even if it hits the goal range, it is very likely to be saved by the goalkeeper in actual combat.
There were all professional players on the field, and it was definitely impossible to use a very low ball speed to increase the hit rate under the watchful eyes of the public, otherwise it would be a joke.
"Who will come first?" Xia Ruofei stood in front of the football and said, "Why don't you go first!"
"Okay!" said Macroca.
So, Xia Ruofei took a few steps back, while Macroca stood in front of the football.
He first picked up the football, then stepped on the turf near the penalty spot, then crouched down and placed the football on the penalty spot very carefully. Location.
In the process of swinging the ball, Macroca adjusted it several times.
However, no one urged him, and no one was coaxing now, and everyone watched quietly.
After I saw Marco Roca set the ball, he began to step back step by step, and he retreated a long distance. This is also normal, because the penalty point is too far from the goal. If you want the football to have a sufficient initial speed, you must have a A long enough run-up distance.
Marco Roca finally stopped. He put his hands on his hips and looked at the goal in the distance, looking like Ronaldo. After he took a deep breath, he started to run forward.
Marco Roca's speed was getting faster and faster. When he came to the front of the football, one foot was firmly planted in the turf, and the other leg swayed wildly, only to hear a "bang", the football seemed to be out of the chamber. Like a cannonball, it flew across an arc towards the goal.
This time, Macroca was very well prepared. After the football was kicked out, both the initial speed and the angle were very good.
I saw the football quickly bypassed the wall and spun in the direction of the goal.
The speed of the ball was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, the football came to the goal, and it was about to fly into the goal from the dead corner in the upper right corner of the goal.
But everyone heard a "bang", the football slammed heavily on the angle between the beam and the column, and then bounced out.
Everyone couldn't help but let out a huge sigh in unison.
Marco Roca's performance on the ball was almost perfect, but luck was a little bit worse, and the ball didn't go in.
He was also very depressed himself. As soon as the ball came out, he felt that he should have it, but it was just a drop, and it was estimated that the error was only one or two centimeters, otherwise it would be an absolute blind spot.
Marco Roca held his head regretfully, sighed, and then nodded towards Xia Ruofei and said, "Mr. Xia, it's your turn!"
The staff had already brought another football over, Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, and casually placed the football in the position where Marco Roca served just now with his feet.
Then, Xia Ruofei looked up and glanced at the door, took three or five steps back, and without brewing, he strode forward and kicked the middle and lower part of the football.
I saw the football swish and flew up, and soon surpassed the height of the human wall.
After crossing the human wall, the football is still rising rapidly. Looking at this movement trend, it must be an anti-aircraft gun. When it comes to the vicinity of the goal, it must be higher than the sky.
Just when everyone sighed secretly and Marco Roca secretly rejoiced, football had reached its highest point, and then, its trajectory seemed to violate the law of parabola, and suddenly there was a rapid decline.
In the blink of an eye, the football swishes into the net from the lower edge of the crossbar.
The training ground was silent, and after a while, bursts of applause broke out.
"This is the 'elevator ball'!" An assistant coach couldn't help but muttered with a very surprised look.
Head coach Ruby looked at the court, nodded and said, "Yes, and the footwork is quite accurate!"
Ruby looked at Xia Ruofei with a complicated look on his face. If Xia Ruofei's foot was not covered, then this talent would be too scary, but such a talented person is not a professional player. This is really Damn it!
Xia Ruofei's free kick also shocked Macroca. He came back to his senses after a while and said to Xia Ruofei, "Mr. Xia, good footwork!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Jiang Xiaochen beside him: "Xiaochen, tell him, it's time for him to kick."
After listening to Jiang Xiaochen's translation, Macroca nodded, picked up a football and walked to the penalty spot.
Xia Ruofei's amazing performance did not discourage him, but aroused his fighting spirit.
This time, Marco Roca no longer pursued the ultimate speed and angle, and took the ball into the goal with a steady kick.
However, the speed of the ball is much slower than that of Xia Ruofei's just now, and the arc is also very general. If in the actual game, the ball is likely to be saved by the goalkeeper.
Marco Roca's face was a little hot, and he felt as if he was cheating. Xia Ruofei didn't care at all, applauded him with a smile, and then walked to the penalty spot again.
Similar to just now, Xia Ruofei did not prepare carefully, but just casually placed the ball with his feet, and then after a few steps back, he strode up and took another kick.
With a swipe, the football entered the net.
This ball is exactly the same as before, with a very fast speed and a strange arc, and even the position where it flew into the goal is similar to that just now.
2 to 1, Xia Ruofei still maintained the lead.
The test continues.
The two went to free throws in turn. After a while, both of them took 9 free throws. Marco Roca played well under pressure. He scored 6 goals in total. Although the ball speed and arc were not satisfactory, considering such a long distance, With such a difficult human wall placement and other factors, this result is quite good.
However, compared with Xia Ruofei's performance, the score of 6 penalty goals is not worth mentioning, and the first 9 balls were all sent into the net by Xia Ruofei in the same way and in the same position, as if it was a computer copy. Like pasting, there is almost no error.
9 to 6, the result of the game is no longer in any suspense, no matter what the result of the last free throw, Marco Roca has already lost the game.
However, he did not give up the last free throw because the defeat was set.
This time, Marco Roca also gave up. After putting down all the psychological baggage, he played at a super level and kicked the ball into the goal with a beautiful arc.
Of his 10 free throws, this one was the most beautiful.
After the penalty was over, Macroca couldn't help but raised his arms and shouted to cheer himself up.
Xia Ruofei smiled and applauded Marco Roca and said, "Good kick!"
Marc Roca said with a sullen face: "Compared to Mr. Xia's footwork, I'm still far behind..."
"No, no, in my opinion, you are already very good!" Xia Ruofei said.
He is not all consoling Macroca. After all, this player is still very young, and it is very rare to be able to kick such a beautiful free kick.
Xia Ruofei placed the football on the penalty spot, and then began to step back.
Everyone is even a little immune to Xia Ruofei's beautiful elevator ball. Although Xia Ruofei's hit rate is a frightening 100%, although each kick perfectly interprets the art of football, the first 9 balls are almost the same. , No matter how beautiful the goal is, whoever watches it 9 times in a row will experience aesthetic fatigue.
But everyone soon discovered that Xia Ruofei retreated a little far this time.
When taking free throws in front, Xia Ruofei only took three or five steps back, and then went straight to run and free throws, all in one go.
But now, Xia Ruofei has withdrawn seven or eight steps, and the run-up distance is obviously much farther than before.
Xia Ruofei took a full 9 steps back, looked at the goal again, took a deep breath, and started running with small steps.
Xia Ruofei's speed is getting faster and faster, and his stride is getting bigger and bigger. When he rushed to the back of the football, his speed had already been raised, and when he took the last step, his right leg had begun to swing backwards. .
After a large swing, Xia Ruofei leaned slightly, and his right leg hit the middle and lower part of the football like a whip.
The football roared out like a heavy cannon and circled from the right side of the human wall. After avoiding the human wall, the football crossed a very large arc and deflected to the left side of the goal.
However, in the process of flying, the football actually changed direction again, and it was a huge arc, just flying past the dummy acting as the goalkeeper, and drilled directly into the upper right corner of the goal.
If you stand in the position facing the goal, you can see that the football crossed a very exaggerated "s"-shaped arc and finally got into the goal.
If it was in a real game, the goalkeeper's center of gravity must have been lost long ago, and there is only one result, and that is to watch the football into the net.
After the penalty kicked, the audience was silent, and even Wu Lei, who had blind trust in Xia Ruofei, could not help but open his mouth in surprise.
There is a scene in everyone's mind, that is, the violent free kick sent by Robert Carlos, who is wearing a yellow jersey and a short stature, after a super long run.
Xia Ruofei's free kick almost perfectly replicated Robert Carlos' S-shaped free kick.
It took a long while for everyone to regain their senses, and they burst into applause and admiration, and some players couldn't help blowing their whistle.
Macroca was stunned, and after a long while he said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia, I am convinced that I lost!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Since I won, don't forget your promise! I will be there to watch the next round of competition!"
"I will do my best to fulfill my promise!" Macroca said sternly.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay, it's delayed everyone for so long. Let's continue training! Isn't there another intra-team match? I'll be a cheerleader for you!"
