The Ball at Your Feet

The game against Real Betis was unexpectedly smooth. Less than five minutes after the opening, Liverpool got the first chance to score.

Betis's Joaquin was blocked by Sissoko and Riise on the line of change when he broke through with the ball. After Joaquin was forced to run one step towards the center, Alonso tackled the ball and broke the ball. Then, before Alonso got up from the ground, he protected the ball and kicked it. To Figo on the side.

Figo immediately made a long pass and kicked it directly behind the defense. A simple and quick counterattack was completed in less than three seconds.

Betis's defense line is still relatively high, about 25 meters away from the goal. This distance greatly increases the difficulty of countering offside when counterattacking. Morientes' speed was obviously slower, he could not catch up with the ball that flew through the backcourt, but Zhao Yaning's speed was enough, and he rushed toward the ball's landing point. At this time, Betis' goalkeeper Dobras rushed out, and the two rushed to the ball almost indiscriminately, but when Dobras threw down and made a punt, Zhao Yaning picked the ball with one kick. He got up, shot with one foot, and headed for the door. Juanito, who was chasing back, failed to catch up with the ball in time. He tackled it with a tackle, but the ball rolled into the net in front of his feet.

"Zhao Yaning scored with a shot! A very beautiful shot! Zhao Yaning's shot is very beautiful, Dobras can do nothing, can only watch the ball fall into the net!"

When Zhao Yaning turned around, he also ran to his teammates, and celebrated with his teammates by high-fiving. Although this goal seems to be a simple touch of the ball, in private, he has been training for too long in the training space.

He shot this way, in fact, he also obeyed Raul's opinion. In the training space, when he has been practicing various shooting techniques, Raul directly enlightened him.

"What you need is not to master every method of shooting. You have to consider your own position first, then consider where you often shoot, and then consider your method of playing."

In this regard, Raul further guided, "First of all, you are a front midfielder. Therefore, turning around and shooting in the penalty area, or the precise shot made immediately after receiving the ball in the penalty area, is not a skill you need to be particularly familiar with. , These are the pillar centers or grab-point centers that need to be learned. All you need to learn is to shoot from a few positions: long shots at the front of the penalty area, handling of small-angle shots next to the goal posts on both sides, and then There was a one-on-one match with the goalkeeper when the quick counterattack occurred."

"I can think of the first two. Shooting at the front of the penalty zone is OK. For shooting from a small angle, I should learn Henry's technique of pushing the far corner? But, what about shooting in a quick counterattack?"

"When you quickly counterattack, it forms a one-to-one relationship between you and the goalkeeper. The methods with the highest success rate are two. One is to pass the goalkeeper directly and push the empty goal. The other is to shoot and hit the goal. Pass the goalkeeper. The best person to use this method is Ronaldo. If you look for it a little bit, you can see that he has passed a lot of goalkeepers and then shot the empty goal. But the method of passing the goalkeeper itself has a lot of It’s a big danger. Goalkeepers can pounce the ball with their hands. After all, their hands are more flexible than their feet. Even the poorest goalkeeper is hard to pass. Therefore, if you meet a good goalkeeper, stand up with you and react. , You can't get past him. Going through the goalkeeper is a shooting method that requires the cooperation of the goalkeeper. However, if you shoot, you can guarantee that almost every successful goalkeeper will be powerless. As long as he dares to shoot The way of attacking, shooting and breaking the goal, the success rate is the highest."

It is precisely after listening to these words that Zhao Yaning practiced almost all shots and shots from small angles this summer, and this method of playing also played a very good role.

In the first five minutes, the away game led 1-0, so Zhao Yaning also felt that his summer practice was not in vain.

By the tenth minute, Liverpool had another chance.

This time, Zhao Yaning, who withdrew to the midfield, received the ball from Sissoko's feet and gave it to Alonso. Alonso kicked it to Figo on the right. Figo passed the ball long to Zhao Yaning, and Zhao Yaning had already rushed along the left side at this time.

Varela tried to block Zhao Yaning’s breakthrough, but Zhao Yaning directly changed direction and flashed towards the center. Just when he thought Zhao Yaning was going to cut inward, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to the left, and the ball was passed by one person. Successfully waded through Varela's obstruction. At this time, Zhao Yaning, who had thrown off him, smashed the ball to a sudden stop, and while turning around to throw off the defending Juanito, he kicked the ball into the penalty area.

Morientes jumped up, his header pushed the ball to the far point, greeted Garcia, and immediately shot!

This close-range shot made Dobras unable to save and could only watch the ball anger the gate.

"Liverpool scored two goals in ten minutes! It seems that as a newcomer to the Champions League, Betis is really inexperienced. Although they are on their home court, they have been tortured by Liverpool."

After scoring two goals in a row, Liverpool's attacking pace also slowed down. The strength of Real Betis is obviously worse than they thought. Fernando in their front midfielder almost didn't play, and Joaquin was seen very deadly. From the beginning of the game, it was the dialogue between Liverpool and Betis's back line, their midfield and forward role, but said yes. Very small.

By the twenty-five minutes, Betis's frontcourt had another chance. Asuncion got an opportunity for a free kick in the front court, which caused the fans to start frantically clamoring. His free kick technique is very good, and Betis fans also look forward to him being able to score a free kick.

However, after the ball was sent, it was obviously not strong enough. Reina took a step forward and caught the ball in his hand.

This caused the surrounding fans to sigh immediately.

"Before the game, the Spanish media claimed that Asuncion's free kick goal rate was between 40%-50%. But the ball was obviously not spinning enough. Obviously, such a free kick cannot be regarded as a master."

Martin Taylor said a little bit venomously. Sometimes, the media's bragging is really annoying. There are many times when media reports do not look at the specific performance of the players, but speak according to their own memory. Therefore, there will always be people who claim that the goal rate of free kicks is like penalty kicks.

But in fact, where is there such a high scoring rate? Throughout Europe, last season's statistics, the highest free kick rate is only 21% of Riquelme's, and this is the data he is only willing to send free kicks where he is good at his position. Among other free-kick takers, the highest scoring rate was Juninho's 17%, which is equivalent to six penalties for one goal. Beckham's 13% is also a very high stat, equivalent to a goal seven times. However, Assunsang is obviously better than their first grade. Although his free kick level is indeed good for small teams, it is really not enough to compare with rich teams. In sports battles, his main job is to split the ball and shoot forward. But these two tasks are not so easy to use in front of a Premier League team like Liverpool. He is not strong enough, but he has encountered a team that is too competitive.

By the 30th minute, Betis was unbearable by Liverpool's onslaught. Before the end of the first half, they let Dani replace Fernando and start playing bilaterally. Dani’s technical characteristics are quite similar to those of Joaquin. After he played, Betis made a bold adjustment: They moved Joaquin to the left, trying to rely on this approach to enhance the attack.

This way of playing is also because Joaquin was stared too **** the right. Everyone knows that he is Betis's strongest point, as long as he gets the ball, he will be watched very deadly. Although Joaquin’s sense of the ball is first-rate, he also has the problem of extremely sticky ball. His small coordination ability is a little bit weak. I don’t even like to use the ball. Even the Spanish media have accused him of playing the ball. The performance of the national team,'Vicente at least knows that there is a Horno, and Joaquin does not care about Salgado's life or death'. Such a player can still perform well in the open La Liga, but when he encounters a Premier League player who likes to engage in physical confrontation, he is greatly restricted. In addition, it was a mistake for the La Liga team and the Premier League team to header the ball, so Betis wanted to try to get him to play on the left-in fact, they also understood that he was kicked in less than 30 minutes. , Forced to substitute in the first half, they are already winning in defeat.

However, this shift made Maicon laugh.

It is really meaningless to confront others. I can show my level by playing against the first winger of La Liga...

When Joaquin broke through again, Maicon immediately posted it. Joaquin tried to change direction to the left and swayed, Maicon posted the results, not giving him a chance to break to the right. Relying on the squeeze of his body, Maicon forced Joaquin to lead all the way towards the bottom line, but Joaquin never found a chance to pass or change to pass, the left side is not in the direction he is good at, helpless Next, he buckled a step backward, twisted around and tried to pass. But when he turned around, Maicon had already bullied his body, grabbed his ball, and rushed forward with the ball.

A very good steal. Generally speaking, the defensive side is at a disadvantage, and it is rare for Maicon to steal opponents like this. What's even more rare is that after breaking the ball, he can still bring the ball in. Even if there were reasons why Joaquin was not in his familiar position, it would be difficult to do this step.

"Maicon made a beautiful one-on-one steal! He launched a counterattack!"

When the narrator was still excited, Maicon had already launched an impact, but not for the midfield line, he passed the ball to the center while running. He knows very well that it is difficult to hit the target with a cross when running at high speed, and Morientes is also running and may not be able to stop. Therefore, he did not give the ball to Morientes but instead Zhao Yaning. And Zhao Yaning also understood his thoughts~www.ltnovel.com~ He speeded up and rushed to the front right. At this time, Garcia ran near the penalty area. When he stood still and started to slow down, Zhao Yaning's pass was also passed accurately.

Garcia faced the ball and kicked it with a cross. In the penalty area, Morientes jumped high and hit the goal with a head hammer!

"Al!!!!!! Liverpool's third goal!!! Morientes!!!!!! The assist from Garcia, the Liverpool player, played a beautiful match!"

Morientes ran to Garcia, Zhao Yaning also rushed over, the three people hugged together to celebrate the performance of this game, but also happy for Garcia's performance.

Looking at Liverpool's celebration, Joaquin was still a little speechless. Looking at Garcia, who played well, he seemed to see that the main jersey of his national team really wouldn't last long—

ps: Add a sentence: Luis Garcia entered the Spanish national team for the first time in reality in March 2005. He played against the Chinese national team...the game is gone in the book. So he still has not been selected to the national team. In the 06 World Cup, Garcia was indeed the main force at the beginning, because he knew more about cooperation than Joaquin.
