Young Football Player

Chapter 12: Full Moon Scimitar (2)

   Lee Chenglong backed up a few steps, allowed a suitable run-up distance, and then took two deep breaths to relax himself.

   At this time, there was a boo from the Anfield opening stage, which made Li Chenglong a little flattered.

   After all, the strength of the two teams is too far apart, and Liverpool has achieved a huge advantage in the first leg, so the atmosphere of this game at Anfield is relatively ordinary, not as powerful as the legend.

   But this time, Li Chenglong was about to take a free kick, but hiss came from the stands.

   Lee Chenglong thought: It seems that the previous performance has left a certain impression on Liverpool fans, so this time we must work harder to leave them a "good impression".

   beep~~~

   The Belgian referee blew the whistle, indicating that Jackie Lee can take a free kick.

   Li Chenglong stood up on his right toe, rotated his ankle twice to relax his ankle, and then stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet to start and run up.

   "According to Bruce Lee's position, he should want to hit the door directly..."

   "Lee... approaching... hitting the door!!!"

Li Chenglong swings his arms to run up to the ball, slows down a little, and leans to stand to support the foot, swing his right leg back high, and then force his leg to smash down like a heavy whip. The front of the foot is strong. Kick the ball.

   At this moment, Li Chenglong felt that the touch under his feet was very good, and he exerted enough force while pressing the ball, and the moment before the ball went out, his incidental rubbing force was just right.

   The ball, with extreme speed and rapid rotation, flew around the wall in an instant, drawing a long arc in the air, and circling the goal near the post.

   Liverpool did not play their main goalkeeper Reina in this game, but on the substitute goalkeeper, Australian Brad Jones.

   Jones stood in front of the goal somewhat casually at the beginning. He thought it was a low-threat free kick. After all, the position was not very good, and the penalty was still a 17-year-old player.

   After the ball flew out, Jones found himself wrong.

The ball moves very fast, and he doesn’t have much reaction time at all. He just instinctively moves towards the direction of the ball’s initial flight and moves towards the far post of the goal, but the ball draws an arc in the air and then loops back to the near post. The end, with a very fast spin, hit the net from the angle between the goal beam and the post.

   When Jones saw the ball turning, he knew that something was wrong, but this was the first opportunity he finally got. He didn't want to just give up, so he changed his focus again and tried to rush back to save the ball.

   But the continuous passive change of the center of gravity made him unable to control his feet at all, his knees softened and he knelt in front of the goal.

   But his head is still deflected, watching the ball fly into his net.

   "Gooooooooal~~~~~~~~" Mortensen let out a huge shout.

   "Unbelievable~~~Unbelievable~~~~!!!"

   "Bruce Lee hit an unparalleled free kick. This goal is so beautiful. It was a perfect arc free kick."

   "Look at the performance of the Australians. In the face of such a near-perfect free kick, the goalkeeper has no choice but to kneel in front of the goal and can't do anything."

"Bruce Lee’s goal reminds me of David (Beckham). The free kick that Lee just shot has the same characteristics as David’s free kick. The ball is very fast and the arc is very large, which makes the arc The viewing degree of the line free kick is maximized."

   "Even the moment they kick the ball, their actions have a certain similarity."

   "I'm sure, this little guy must have practiced according to David's free kick..."

   The moment the ball bypassed the wall, Li Chenglong knew that the ball must have been there. He didn't believe that the Australian goalkeeper on the opposite side could save his free kick. Even at that moment, he had a domineering feeling that no goalkeeper could save his free kick.

   So before the ball really flew into the net, Jackie Lee had already started to turn around, ran forward two steps, jumped up, and threw a punch into the air.

   This is the way he is used to celebrating goals since he was a child.

   On the side of the court, head coach Peter Houston and assistant Toby Harrison embraced and celebrated in excitement. Harrison's saliva spurted out between shouts.

   On the court, Li Chenglong was also surrounded by his teammates, shouting and celebrating.

   "Bruce~~~ great~~~ That ball!!"

   "You are our Dundee United's Beckham!!!"

   For this series, this is just an insignificant goal, at best it is very spectacular, but it has little effect on Dundee United’s promotion.

   But for Dundee United, this is a goal to prove himself.

   Facing Liverpool, which is so much stronger than them, they can also score goals, and they are very beautiful goals.

   After the crazy celebration, there was not much time left for the game.

   Liverpool did not have the desire to continue attacking, because they are already determined to advance. Dundee United wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to score another goal, but after all, where the strength gap is, there is no good way.

   So in the last few minutes of the game, both teams played lazily.

   So in the TV broadcast screen, the goal of Jackie Lee just now was continuously played back.

   Lee Chenglong's deep breathing during preparation, tiptoe and ankle rotation, the whole process of running and kicking the ball, and the celebration after scoring all these all turned into slow motion playback.

   Finally, after the two-minute stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

   Dundee United drew 1:1 with Liverpool at Anfield, but was eliminated with a total score of 1:4. The UEFA Cup this season is over.

   Liverpool fans at home are celebrating the team's advancement to the next round, but the celebration is not enthusiastic, because the goal of Lee Chenglong makes them always feel that it is a little bit of meaning.

   One of the few Dundee United fans who came to the away game was lost because the team was eliminated, but there was also a touch of comfort in the loss, that is, the goal of Lee Chenglong.

  ※※※

   At the press conference after the game, Li Chenglong did not participate in the press conference, but this did not prevent him from becoming the focus of the conference.

   In such a game where there is a huge disparity in strength and the result of the game is not very suspenseful, Li Chenglong's free kick became the only highlight in the audience. With the reputation of Liverpool, the Premier League giant, Li Chenglong became famous.

   "The goal was really beautiful, but it didn't affect the result of the game. We advanced to the next round, that's enough." Liverpool coach Hodgson did not say much.

   Dundee United head coach Houston has said a lot. This is the first time in his coaching career that he has faced so many British journalists and he must speak well.

   "I was ready to arrange for Bruce to play. That's what I meant by putting him on the big list."

   "The purpose of my replacement for the Blues is to help the team win, not to give up the game. Although we did not win in the end, we were able to take away a draw from Anfield. This is an acceptable result."

"We paid attention to Bruce when he was still at Crystal Palace. After I became the head coach of the team in the summer, I immediately promoted the plan to introduce him. Unfortunately, the price was not negotiated. We could only rent it temporarily, but we have a buyout. Terms."

   "He used to play as a midfielder in Crystal Palace, but after he came to the team, I arranged for him to go to the side based on his technical characteristics. He did not live up to my expectations of him."

   "This is the first game of Bruce's career. Facing a giant team, Bruce scored his first goal. There is no doubt that he has an infinitely bright future..."

   In Peter Houston’s words, he has become the well-deserved Bole of Jackie Lee, a famous genius.
