I Just Can Score

If it is another forward player who wants to deliberately kick the ball into the opponent's hands to cause the opponent's foul, it is like a dream.

Because...they can't kick!

In the fast-paced game, every shot is a subconscious behavior, and there is no time to adjust. It is not easy to hit a human body more than ten meters away, let alone hit a fixed arm. The difficulty factor has directly increased several times. times.

In addition, it is the most flexible part of the human body. When the target sees the ball flying, he can react quickly. It is too easy to avoid the ball head-on.

Zhen Shaolong does not have the first problem, as long as there is a fixed target, even if it is a temporary kick, as long as the distance is not too far, with the help of "Calibration", he can prepare to hit the target.

It is necessary to talk about "calibration" here.

"Calibration" is a shooting skill. Its function is to correct the route of the ball, so that the football can accurately hit the fixed point in the goal frame, but the concept is very vague. In fact, "Calibration" can also be used in non-shooting situations. , as long as the target is regarded as a point in the door frame.

However, "Calibration" also has limitations. You must have a goal when kicking the ball, and it is difficult to use it for passing the ball in the game.

Normally, it seems easier to pass the ball, just aiming at a fixed position, but in a real game, the pass must be 'front' and cannot be kicked directly at the teammates. The lawn is flat, which means There are no fixed goals.

If you really want to use it for passing, of course it is also possible, but you need to determine a target and then make a direct pass.

That would be troublesome.

Zhen Shaolong is too lazy to waste his brain cells thinking so much, because passing the ball is meaningless to him, he likes to kick the ball into the goal, instead of believing in something like Irving...

cough cough!

He was a little depressed thinking of Owen.

In the case of "no problem of inaccuracy", deliberately kicking the ball into the opponent's arm has a chance of success. What he needs is to rule out the second situation so that the opponent's player cannot react.

Zhen Shaolong started to try.

————

Just two minutes after Lehmann made another mistake, Arsenal made a substitution, with second goalkeeper Manuel Almunia coming on to replace Lehmann.

Wenger stands on the sidelines,

Watching Lehman end, I couldn't hold back my anger.

Then he also felt a little emotional--

Lehman, old!

Lehmann played for several teams in his career. He started from Schalke 04 and moved to AC Milan after he became famous. However, he was not reused in AC Milan, so he returned to the Bundesliga to join Borussia Dortmund.

When Lehmann signed with Arsenal, he was already thirty-four years old. Arsenal was going to let Lehmann be the second goalkeeper. It must be good to have a veteran in the goalkeeper position. Unexpectedly, Lehmann's performance was better than others. Strong, while other goalkeepers have been 'unsupported'.

So Lehmann became the main force for several seasons.

Now Lehmann is 38 years old, and it is time to retire at this age. Wenger is also prepared for this. Almunia is the replacement that Arsenal has carefully cultivated.

It's a pity that Almunia couldn't help himself.

In fact, as early as 2004, when Arsenal introduced Almunia, they hoped that he could play the No. Can only be reduced to Lehman's substitute.

Now that Lehmann makes consecutive mistakes, it is another chance for Almunia.

Almunia was very excited when he played. The substitute goalkeeper is the most miserable substitute in a team. Even if it is the second goalkeeper, it is normal not to play in a single season, because the goalkeeper has the lowest injury probability and the lowest physical consumption. , The main goalkeeper has no problem playing consecutive games, and the second goalkeeper can often only play in some unimportant games.

Almunia made three appearances for Arsenal last season, all three in England's cup competitions.

Last season, Almunia made five appearances, only one of which came in the Premier League.

Now that Almunia has another chance, he has the urge to cry. It is not easy to wait for more than a year. Fortunately, Lehman's continuous mistakes gave him a chance.

"This is my chance!"

"From this game on, I will work hard to get the main position!"

Almunia thought firmly.

bench.

Lehman's face was full of guilt, and he didn't know what was going on, so he made low-level mistakes one after another.

"why?"

"I was sure to throw the ball, but why did I throw it on the opponent..."

"Is it really old? Feeling wrong?"

Lehmann plunged into self-doubt.

In fact, Lehmann is also very unwilling. Even at the age of 38, he feels that he can still play for two years instead of giving up his main position. Being replaced is not a small matter. Maybe starting from this game, he Will always be a substitute.

"If that's the case, let's leave and return to Germany to find a club to retire. Maybe it will be more adaptable."

Lyman thought.

field.

The game continued.

Zhen Shaolong changed his running style again, and began to retreat and retreat continuously, actively cooperating with his teammates, actively looking for opportunities inside and outside the penalty area, and his activeness made Gallas very uncomfortable.

Gallas was so depressed.

Gallas thinks he has rich defensive experience, he will have his own thoughts and judgments on everyone's defense, but he can't understand Zhen Shaolong at all!

In the last round of the game, his defense was considered a failure, and Zhen Shaolong scored three goals.

In this game, he actively ran and followed, but he couldn't understand Zhen Shaolong's routine at all, because the opponent was like a newcomer, chasing the ball constantly, which also made his experience meaningless, and the defense became very tired. , and Zhen Shaolong's "routine" seems to be changing all the time, and his current running style is different from the first half. Although he is very active running, he keeps retreating continuously, and he doesn't know how to defend.

"Should I go forward and continue to follow, or stay in the penalty area?" Gallas was a little confused, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart, "Why is a striker always retreating?"

"You should run forward!"

Galas was anxious for Zhen Shaolong!

What Galas thinks has nothing to do with Zhen Shaolong. He continued to play according to his own ideas, and soon found a good opportunity. It was on the right side of the penalty area. The ball kicked over.

Zhen Shaolong took the ball outside the penalty area on the right.

Even without the defense of the opponent, this position is not an opportunity in the eyes of others. After all, it is too far away from the goal and the angle is too small, but Zhen Shaolong still kicked.

"Shoot—!"

The game commentator followed with a shout.

The next moment was a little confusing. Zhen Shaolong seemed to have made a mistake. The football didn’t rush towards the goal, but instead rushed straight towards Clichy. Clichy participated in the defense on the right side. After realizing that Zhen Shaolong had the ball, He followed Milner into the penalty area without turning his head immediately. When the football rushed over, he didn't realize it at all.

then……

The football hit Chrissy's left arm directly and bounced off the baseline.

The stadium suddenly became noisy.

Handball?

Not a foul, the game continues?

Controversy arises.

The referee is very important.

All eyes turned to the referee Alcante again. Alcante felt that his head was big. He never expected that there would be so many handballs and controversial balls in the game?

This is the referee's nightmare!

Alcante hesitated for a moment, but decided to call the penalty to continue, because Clichy certainly didn't do it on purpose, he blocked the ball with his hands completely unnecessary.

This penalty made Newcastle United dissatisfied. The handball foul in the penalty area was directly a penalty kick. They missed a goal, which is likely to determine the outcome of the game.

Newcastle United players surrounded Alcante for an explanation.

What about Alcante? He can only emphasize that there is no problem with his penalty and ask everyone to continue the game.

certainly.

It is impossible for players to overwhelm the referee, they can only continue to invest in the game with anger.

"Ugh……"

The referee let out a long sigh.

The Newcastle United players were very angry, but Alcante was more angry than anyone else. Any referee who enforces the law does not want a situation that must be controversial in the game.

That is the test of the referee.

He has gone through three tests in this game, but fortunately, the test is finally over.

"It's impossible to have another controversial situation, my luck must not be that bad!"

Alcante thought.

But he never expected that Chrissy's handball seemed to be the beginning of the test. Eleven minutes later, Zhen Shaolong took the ball ten meters outside the penalty area. After glancing at the goal, he immediately swung his right foot high.

"Shoot—!"

The game commentator yelled again.

But the football still didn't go in the direction of the goal, but rushed towards the left side of the penalty area, and immediately hit a player's arm. When the camera zoomed in, it was discovered that it was Fabregas, the core of Arsenal.

Handball!

Handball in the penalty area again!

Following the noise from the stands around him, Alcante had the urge to scold his mother.

He found out!

He finally found out!

If it is said that Zhen Shaolong still made a mistake in the shot just now, and this time he said it was a mistake, it is a bit unreasonable.

"He must have done it on purpose!"

Alcante felt very angry, but also depressed, helpless, and shocked. There is no rule in football games that you cannot kick towards the opponent's hand, but it is almost impossible for this to happen. No player will kick so accurately.

Now Zhen Shaolong's actions have subverted Alcante's cognition.

It turns out that it is also possible to kick towards the opponent's player for injury, but it requires extremely precise footwork.

Arsenal players have won the bid twice!

Alcante felt sad for Arsenal, but how should the ball be judged?

Stumped again, Alcante discusses with the coaching staff --

"What about the ball?"

"Zhen Shaolong obviously did it on purpose, I think so, otherwise why would he always kick the ball at the opponent's players?"

"no way!"

"It's within the rules."

"Can this be regarded as provoking the referee?"

"He didn't even say a word, what can I do?" Alcante found that other people's discussions could not give any reference at all.

Now it's up to him to decide!

After careful consideration, Alcante awarded a penalty to Newcastle United.

If the game is allowed to continue normally and Arsenal players are not punished for fouls in the penalty area, it is a bit too much. After the game, the FA may encounter investigations. Three consecutive penalties that are favorable to Arsenal, and two handballs in the penalty area failed. Turn a blind eye, even if there is no inside story, the ability to enforce the law will definitely be questioned.

So Arsenal can only be a foul.

This penalty caused a lot of noise in the fans' stands. Arsenal fans don't want to see Newcastle United get a penalty kick. Even many fans can see that Zhen Shaolong probably did it on purpose. The same goes for the Arsenal players. The referee asked for an explanation, "He did it on purpose!"

"Francisco stands far away, it doesn't affect him at all, and there is no reason for a handball foul!"

"This is a misjudgment!"

Alcante ignored what the Arsenal players said. After the penalty kick was awarded, instead of 'warning' Fabregas, he walked up to Zhen Shaolong and asked, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Of course not, it was just a mistake!"

"A mistake?" Alcante twitched the corner of his mouth. "Whether it's a mistake or intentional, I don't want to see your shot hit the opponent's arm again."

"They blocked it with their hands, and I couldn't help it."

"..."

Alcante found that Zhen Shaolong was a bit irritating, but the most embarrassing thing was that he had nothing to do. The opponent didn't make any foul moves, didn't make any provocations, and just went to the game normally, doing things within the rules.

what can he do

"What!"

"Decided!"

"The next time we meet Newcastle United, we must pretend to be sick and let other teams come to enforce the law! This guy is simply a referee's nightmare!"
