Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 40 Free kicks vigorously (second more, ask for a monthly pass!)

When Chen Yingxiong fell to the ground, the whistle sounded. There is already an explanation to know what is going to happen next.

"Oh, oh-no! Lúcio is about to end! He turned and tackled and didn't get the ball, but tripped Chen Yingxiong..."

Sure enough, the referee ran over, holding a red card in his hand.

Lucio got up from the ground and saw the red card in the hands of the referee. He froze for a moment, then rushed to the referee.

"I did not do it on purpose!"

This is the only excuse he can make.

Of course he knew he was a foul, but he was lucky, and he thought maybe it was a yellow card?

How can I think of the chief referee imposing capital punishment on him!

"This is a flop! He flops!"

Another central defender, his partner Samuel snarled at the referee.

Other Inter Milan players also rushed up, wanting to influence the referee's judgment and let him withdraw the red card in his hand.

But it's useless. The referee can see clearly whether it is a flop. When Lúcio kicked, there was no blocking in front of his eyes, and he saw the ball clearly.

Lucio did not touch football, he tripped Chen Yingxiong. And if he hadn't stumbled Chen Yingxiong, Chen Yingxiong was in front of him, directly facing goalkeeper Julio Cesar. So this foul comes directly with a red card, and Lucio is not wronged.

He ran up to Lucio, raised his arm, and held a red card aloft on it!

Lucio was fined.

Mourinho was very angry at the referee's penalty from the sidelines. He snarled at the fourth official: "This must be a fake throw! A fake throw!"

Seeing that the fourth official ignored him, he shouted to the court again: "Hey! You, you are a liar! A liar! A liar!!!"

But besides venting a few curses in his mouth, he had no other way.

Finally, Lucio walked down, his face looked disgusting, and amid Meazza's hiss, he walked directly into the locker room passage.

Meazza's booing was not for Lucio, but for Chen Yingxiong and the referee.

Although the slow-motion replay has given Chen Yingxiong innocence and proved that he is not a diving, the home team fans will not care about that much. The fans are not sensible. They only know that Chen Yingxiong's fall and the referee's red card have made them one less person, and the most important central defender is less...

Mourinho can no longer take care of the quarrel with the fourth official and Chen Yingxiong, he is calling the backup center back Materazzi to warm up.

Lucio was sent off, the two central defenders were missing one, and this vacancy must be filled, otherwise Naples would definitely seize this opportunity to attack. It would be terrible if they scored a goal...

Materazzi put on a yellow vest and ran to the warm-up area. There won't be too much time for him to warm up, he must be as fast as possible.

During this time, the central defender on the field was temporarily played by Montari.

Mourinho had already yelled from the sidelines while waving his arms inside, and asked Montari to play as the central defender.

But in fact, the current problem facing Inter Milan is not the central defender, but the defense of the free kick in the frontcourt of Naples.

But no one takes this issue seriously. After all, this free kick is still 34 meters away from the goal and the position is slightly off. There is no long-distance free-kick expert in Naples who can score a goal so far— -Mourinho is very clear about this.

This was a direct free kick. Hamsik and Cassano both stood in front of the football, and they discussed how to take the penalty.

Shoot directly? Neither of them planned.

Too far, the hit rate is very low, so wasting an opportunity so easily, it is really a bit...not worth it.

Still have to pass the football out, then pass it directly into the penalty area and let Chen Yingxiong and the captain compete for the top? Or short pass and reorganize the offense?

The opinions of the two people are a little different.

"Let's pass in for a long time." Hamsik thinks this is a bit more threatening.

"No, reorganize the attack." Cassano shook his head and vetoed it.

Chen Yingxiong ran over: "Don't fight, I'll come!" He picked up the football and placed it in the free throw position.

Two people were dumbfounded. "You come?"

Chen Yingxiong doesn't know how to kick a free kick. This is what everyone knows. He came to kick a free kick. Is this messing up or doing?

"Can you kick a free kick?" Cassano asked Chen Yingxiong.

"This kind of free kick...isn't it the same as our long-range shooting practice in training?" Chen Yingxiong pointed to the front and said.

Inter Milan’s wall is loose and sluggish, because it is 34 meters away from the goal, the Inter Milan players don’t think anyone in the Naples team can directly threaten Cesar’s goal, so they I am a little absent-minded about such things as building walls.

Their thinking is the same as Hamsik and Cassano, they are thinking about preventing the second attack of Naples.

Cassano glanced at it, then smiled and clapped his hands: "You're right, hero! Just show off your long-range shots in training!"

Since he didn't have any hope of scoring, Hamsik felt that it would be good to let Chen Yingxiong try a free kick, so he also nodded in agreement.

"Shall we cover you for a while?" Hamsik asked.

Chen Yingxiong shook his head, "No need."

※※※

"The hero hugged the football and placed it on the ground... Is he going to take this free kick?" The commentators were also a little surprised.

"Does anyone know that he is good at taking free kicks?"

"I know he has an excellent long shot... but there is still a difference between a free kick and a long shot..."

In the strange voices of the commentators, Chen Yingxiong was ready to take the free kick. He set the football and then backed away.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps... He stepped back, about six or seven meters, and stood still.

Hamsik and Cassano looked at him like this and didn't give him a cover. One ran to the penalty area while the other stood as a spectator.

Inter Milan saw Chen Yingxiong intending to take a free kick, and a new person was added to the wall-after all, Chen Yingxiong's long-range shot was clear to them.

In this way, the human wall finally has five people.

"It seems that this free kick was really taken by Chen Yingxiong..."

Cassano walked away. Hamsik was farther away from football than Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong's free kick is basically a certainty.

Julio Cesar stood in front of the goal, looking at the football in the distance, looking very far away.

He doesn't know how far the distance is, but he knows that it is a little difficult to shoot directly from this position. What if the opponent really shoots directly? He confidently threw out. At such a long distance, the opponent's goal has also become smaller. It is not easy to play within the goal range. It is necessary to pursue an angle to ensure a goal-because playing too squarely, you can easily block out. He Cesar is no unknown, now in Serie A, his status has surpassed Buffon, becoming today's top goalkeeper in Serie A.

Want such a long shot in front of you?

You must pursue perspective.

If you are looking for an angle...the football might just point to where it will fly!

So, in fact, he doesn't worry much.

Chen Yingxiong came to take the free kick, which surprised the Naples coaching staff on the sidelines, because this kid had never practiced a free kick in training, and Mazzari did not arrange for him to practice—because he felt that this man was not here.

How can I think that he was on a whim today and wanted to try a free kick.

But this free kick is too far, right?

It's more than 30 meters away from the goal.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong is standing in front of the football, Inter Milan's wall has been set up. Because he has never played a free kick before, Naples does not know how to cooperate with him. If other players who are good at strong free kicks come to take the penalty, one of his teammates must find ways to squeeze into the opponent's wall, and then suddenly retreat when the ball is kicked out, giving way to this. It is often a specific tactic formed through long-term contact and running-in.

But Chen Yingxiong did not have such support.

But he has his own way.

Just like what he said just now—isn’t it just a long shot from further away? No one is defending yet!

He has no pressure.

The referee blew the whistle in his mouth, the clear whistle sounded at the Meazza Stadium, and the scene was a little quieter.

Everyone focused on Chen Yingxiong.

After he heard the hiss, he leaned forward and started to sprint forward.

One step, two steps, four steps, five steps... He took a few steps back, but now he sprints a few steps. In the last step, he stepped firmly on the left side of the football with his left foot, swiped his right foot, and hit the football with the back of his foot!

"Boom!"

The football soared into the sky, with grass clippings, and flew towards Inter Milan's goal.

※※※

When Chen Yingxiong started to run, no one would think that there was something special about this free kick, but when the football was kicked out, everyone found something was wrong.

Because... this ball is so scary!

In Julio Cesar's view, it was almost an instant that football grew from an early age!

He reflexively jumped up and made a save, but the football had already flown into the goal from his side!

When the football hit the net so hard, the commentators didn't even react-it shows how fast the ball is!

Of course it's coming soon, because this is a thunderous blow from Chen Yingxiong's breastfeeding power!

How hard is Chen Yingxiong? When he shot the football out, his whole body was turned around ninety degrees in the air by the power of his shot, and he was a little staggered on the ground, almost unable to stand firm!

In almost just two seconds, the football went from being completely still to being wrapped in the net.

It's not easy for Cesar to make a save!

However, the loser is the loser. No matter how easy it is, it cannot change the fact that the football flies into the goal he guards.

He fell to the ground, turned his head and looked at the football in the goal incredibly, as if he had just had a short nightmare.

※※※

***, this is definitely a historic moment worth remembering! Chen Yingxiong scored the first free kick in his career!

At this turning point in history, I beg everyone for ***! !
