Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 151 The Penalty Shooter

After the Spring Festival holiday, the football team of Dongchuan Middle School resumed training.

The first five days of the ten-day second training camp focused on physical training, mainly to allow the players' bodies to recover from the gluttony during the Spring Festival.

After all, he is not a professional player, and Li Ziqiang has no way to ask them to strictly control their diet and work and rest during the Chinese New Year.

After more than ten days of relaxation and rest, everyone's physical fitness will inevitably decline.

In order for the next training to proceed normally, of course it is necessary to restore the physical fitness of the players to the level before the Spring Festival.

So the amount of training is slightly larger.

But this is no big deal to the players of Dongchuan Middle School.

After all, they had two physical training sessions every morning and noon, so they have long adapted to the training intensity of the head coach.

After the ten-day training camp is over, there are only a few days before the start of school.

In the past few days, Li Ziqiang asked the players to take a good rest.

Because after the start of school, the team will return to the point of practicing twice and practicing three times a day-there will be training every morning and noon, and there will be training in the afternoon three days a week.

And at this time, there is not much time left before the start of the national competition.

Because the Spring Festival this year is on February 12th, it will already be March 1st when school starts.

There are only two weeks to prepare for the national competition.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, but Li Ziqiang does not plan to continue practicing team tactics, but disperses them into various set-piece tactics for training.

After all, in the game, the positioning ball is a very important scoring weapon.

Therefore, in addition to the unshakable physical training every morning and noon, three times a week, a total of six training times are all spent on set-piece tactical training: corner kick offensive and defensive training, free kick offensive and defensive training, and penalty kicks.

There is no overtime in high school football games, and if the game is tied in regular time, it goes straight to a penalty shootout.

So penalty kicks must be practiced.

At the same time, Li Ziqiang must also rearrange a list of penalty shooters.

If a penalty is awarded during regular playing time, who will take it?

In the penalty shootout, how should the order of penalty kicks be decided?

Last year's penalty shooter in regular time was actually the captain Chu Yifan, but Chu Yifan is a talkative person, if someone really wants to take a penalty, then he will give it up.

For example, in the last national competition, Luo Kai scored a penalty kick in order to stage a big four, but it was actually snatched from Chu Yifan.

But Chu Yifan didn't take it seriously, and the head coach Li Ziqiang naturally turned a blind eye.

Both Luo Kai and Chu Yifan have left the team now.

In the Anton Cup, Li Ziqiang did not think about fixing one person to take the penalty kick, but let the players decide for themselves.

It's just that Dongchuan Middle School didn't get a single penalty in the Anton Cup, so there was no situation where everyone was allowed to decide who would take the penalty on the court.

Later Li Ziqiang thought about it,

I think it is better to fix one person to take the penalty.

The Anton Cup may not be needed, but it is absolutely necessary for the National Competition.

Because winning a penalty kick in the national competition, who will take the penalty is very important. To put it more seriously, it is related to how far the Dongchuan Middle School football team can go in the national competition.

Maybe it will be the quarter-finals or the semi-finals, and there is only one penalty missed in between.

Since he is the penalty shooter in the national competition, what Li Ziqiang values ​​more is not technical skills, but psychological quality.

Because taking penalty kicks in the national competition, the pressure can be imagined...

In front of the goal, players from Dongchuan Middle School are training for penalty kicks.

At this time, it was Hu Lai standing in front of the football, ready to take a penalty kick.

Goalkeeper Meng Xi stood in the goal, baring his teeth and claws, twisting his body, trying to interfere with him.

※※※

Looking at the funny Meng Xi, Hu Lai suddenly thought of another famous goalkeeper from time and space, Zimbabwean Bruce Grobera.

The former Liverpool goalkeeper helped the team win the European Cup final against Roma in 1984 and lifted the trophy.

At that time, the way to decide the outcome was penalty kicks.

Facing Rome's penalty shooter, Grobbela suddenly twisted his body on the goal line, as if he had a seizure. The Roma players on the opposite side were all at a loss. Famous players such as Conte and Graziani missed penalty kicks one after another. Liverpool finally won the cup.

The noodle dance created by Grobbela has also become one of the psychological warfare that the goalkeeper will use in the penalty shootout.

In this time and space, there is no Grobbela, but it is obvious that a similar method has been invented. Otherwise, how could a goalkeeper of a high school team think of interfering with Hu Lai in this way?

In fact, Hu Lai also thought about inventing those special skills in this time and space after traveling over at the beginning, such as "ox tail", "fried meatballs", "Marseille gyrations", "cycling"... But then he checked the Internet and found these moves It's all free, but maybe not called these names.

This fully shows that the football people in this time and space are not idiots, and the football in this time and space is not just waiting for the protagonist to pick peaches after more than a hundred years of development...

As a penalty shooter, Hu Lai wants to try an equally famous way of kicking penalties, which already exists in this time and space. He cannot invent it, but he can emulate it.

That's the spoon penalty.

In the time and space where Hu Lai came from, the inventor of the spoon penalty belongs to the Czechoslovakian player Palenka. In the 1976 European Cup final, he kicked the football lightly into the goal of the West German team with a rubbing shot. , The first scoop penalty kick in the history of world football was born.

Since then, many players have scored scoop penalties in the game, but there are very few players who dare to kick a penalty kick with a scoop lob in a major game.

After all, if the game is taken off, it will be self-defeating, and it will be ridiculed by countless people-and someone really missed the penalty kick in the game.

In this time and space, Hu Lai also checked, the first spoon penalty appeared much later than in another time and space.

In the 1998 World Cup, the famous Argentine star Gabriel Nicolas Guzman scored a beautiful penalty kick in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. He fooled the goalkeeper of the England team at the time.

When this penalty kick method first appeared in front of the world, everyone still didn't know what to call this strange penalty kick method.

It was Giuseppe Gasparoni, a commentator on Italian national television at the time, who yelled: "Spoon! Spoon! Spoon penalty!!"

So this weird way of kicking a penalty kick officially got its name.

The reason why the Italian commentator named an Argentine player's penalty is because there is a very good tradition of lobbing in Italian football. The lobbing method of scoring is not uncommon in Italy. Known for his proficiency in shooting. It's just that combining this shooting method with a penalty kick, Gabriel Nicolas Guzman is indeed the number one player in world football.

The provoked football draws a beautiful arc in the air, which is also very similar to the arc of a spoon. The penalty kick is named after "spoon", which is very well described and very vivid, so this name follows the TV of the World Cup. The broadcast was spread all over the world in an instant.

Holly wanted to try it.

Spoon penalty looks very simple, but in fact it is not easy to kick it successfully, after all, it requires a better control of football. The strength should not be too large, otherwise it will be easy to pick out the crossbar; the strength should not be too small, as it will give the goalkeeper time to react before saving the football...

The most important thing is to keep a calm mind and not be impatient.

"Hey! Hu Lai, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Are you overwhelmed by the door god's murderous aura?" Meng Xi turned around in front of the door for a while, but found that Hu Lai was indifferent, so he shouted.

In this penalty kick practice, he just saved three penalty kicks in a row. It was the time when his momentum was at his peak and his confidence was bursting.

Seeing Meng Xi's triumphant look, Hu Lai chuckled and started to run.

His run-up speed is not slow, giving the impression that he wants to use the power of sprinting to volley vigorously.

Meng Xi in front of the door did not twist his body any more, but bowed his waist down. While opening his arms, his left thigh exerted strength, his knees and ankles were tense, and he was ready to kick out and jump to the right at any time—he predicted that Hu Lai would Kick the football to the right because Hu Lai is a right-footed player. Generally speaking, those who are good at which foot will often subconsciously kick the football to which side.

But when he flew out, he found that the football was coming towards the middle where he was standing just now!

Instead of a strong volley, he drew a parabola in the air and fell into the goal!

Spoon Penalty!

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!"

"F*ck, shit, shit!!"

"Haha! Meng Xi is deflated!"

"Hu is awesome!"

On the court, the players were in an uproar.

Although the spoon penalty kick is not unfamiliar, there are indeed not many people who have the courage to kick it like this.

Li Ziqiang, who saw this scene next to him, squinted his eyes. He already had a decision in his mind about who would take the penalty kick.

※※※

"Eh? Shall I take the penalty kick?" In the queue, Hu Lai pointed at himself in surprise.

Other teammates also cast their eyes on him one after another, but they were not surprised or dissatisfied. In everyone's mind, the head coach made a wise decision.

"Yeah, why? Not happy?" Li Ziqiang asked with a straight face.

"No, no, I'm quite happy! The coach is wise!" Hu Laixi smiled, and agreed without any pretense.

Perhaps for some people, scoring a penalty kick is too simple and they don't bother to do it. But in Hu Lai, such pedantic thinking does not exist at all.

He doesn't care about the difficulty, as long as he can score goals, that's fine. As a striker, of course, the more goals the better.

Even if scoring a penalty kick is relatively simple, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. He even wished that all the goals were so simple...

Seeing that Hu Lai was so happy, Li Ziqiang added: "But you kid, don't try to cheat a penalty in the penalty area..."

"No, no, of course not! Coach, who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who has no sportsmanship? If I fall in the penalty area, it must be fouled by the opponent!" Hu Lai repeatedly said Yelling.

Li Ziqiang raised his hand to signal Hu Lai to shut up.

Look at the shamelessness of this kid... how could he be nervous when taking a penalty kick?

With his thick skin, of course he is the first choice to take penalty kicks.
