Prominence in Football Community

"Gao Lai took this free kick?" Cascilio turned to look at Bruni, "I don't remember him practicing free kicks in training."

Bruni nodded: "Well, he hasn't practiced free kicks."

"That……"

"Be careful with your teammates."

Cascilio fell silent.

A similar conversation took place on the bench at AC Milan.

"Does Gao take free kicks?" Galli asked Stroppa.

"At least not in Vismala," Stroppa said.

"Is that what you practiced in Sampdoria?" Gary rubbed his chin and looked at Gao Zheng on the field.

Then he noticed that Gao Zheng, who was originally standing behind the football on the left, suddenly changed his position, moved to the right, and stood behind the football on the right.

At the left back of the football, after the run-up, it should be shot with the right foot, which is also in line with Gao Zheng's habit of using his right foot as the dominant foot, but now it is changed to the right back of the football, which means...

Could it be that he wants to use the outer instep of his right foot to pump the ball?

It's hard to kick football into the goal like this...

There are many people who use the outside instep to take free kicks. For example, the former Brazilian superstar Roberto Carlos is good at volleying free kicks with the outside of his left foot. The most famous goal was the 1997 Four Nations Invitational Tournament, Brazil Against France, he scored a shocking free kick with the outside of his left foot about 40 meters away from the goal. That goal was considered the goal of the century. Butters, the goalkeeper who guarded the goal for the French team at the time, described that when he first watched the football, he ran towards the corner flag, but he never thought that the football turned around and flew into his own goal...

This is the characteristic of the outside instep free kick, which is fast, powerful and has a large arc.

It's just that the free kicks that are generally facing the goal and are far away will choose to be drawn with the outside of the instep.

A free kick like this is relatively biased and the distance is not very far. Few people would choose to volley with the outside of their feet...

Gary couldn't figure out what Gao Zheng was thinking and why he chose such a way to take the free kick.

But he felt that this free kick should not pose any threat to the goals of the AC Milan reserve team.

Stropa, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes.

After Gao Zheng stood up, the wall of the AC Milan reserve team was almost set up.

In order to help Gao Zheng, some people from Sampdoria squeezed into AC Milan's human wall, intending to "tear down the wall" - the so-called "tear down the wall" means to arrange their own players in the opponent's human wall, so that the free kick The penalty kicker can aim at the place where his own players are when kicking the ball. Then one's own players are evacuating quickly, which will cause a gap in the human wall, and the football will fly through this gap, hitting the opponent's goalkeeper by surprise.

This is a relatively common tactic in free kicks.

However, Gao Zheng has never practiced such tactics with his teammates, nor has he practiced free kicks in private. This kind of conventional free kick tactics may not work for him.

He didn't have the confidence to kick the ball exactly into that gap. In fact, it’s not just that, even those free kick masters can’t point to where to hit again and again. Breaking down walls sometimes depends on luck...

So Gao Zheng saw a teammate who was helping, and decided to follow his own ideas.

The referee blew the whistle, and Gao Zheng started to run, and then, to the surprise of Gary off the field, he kicked the football with his left foot!

When he was about to play football, the human wall formed by AC Milan players also jumped up vigorously, expanding the defensive height of the human wall, intending to block Gao Zheng's shot.

But after they jumped up, they were surprised to find that the football kicked by Gao Zheng didn't fly upwards, but rushed forward against the turf!

The football rolled over from under their feet!

The football is spinning fast on the turf,

Plowed the turf into a clear arc and went straight to the near corner of the goal!

All Pisitelli's attention was on the top of the wall, and he looked up there, waiting for the football to come around the wall.

But out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow rushing over under the wall of people!

When he realized that it was a football, and fell to the ground and threw it out, it was too late...

The football just plowed the turf and rolled into the goal!

Everyone was stunned.

"This... what the hell is this!" Philip Galley exclaimed after being stunned for a moment.

"As you can see, Philippe, this is a very clever free kick." Stroppa gritted his teeth.

He asked the players to increase the intensity of physical confrontation and use physical confrontation to deal with Gao Zheng.

But this is actually a double-edged sword. Sometimes players can use their strong bodies to occupy the top and grab Gao Zheng's ball. But sometimes such frequent physical confrontation will definitely increase the chance of fouls and give the opponent a free kick.

This conceded goal is the best illustration.

"No, Giovanni, I firmly believe that this ball is really luck!" Philippe Galli said very seriously.

Stroppa ignored him.

On the coaching bench of the Sampdoria reserve team, Cacilio raised his arms and cheered: "This ball is beautiful! It's so smart! If I hadn't seen Gao's training, I really thought he had secretly practiced any ball!"

Bruni smiled and said: "You know what, Alfredo. Actually this free kick inspired me..."

"What inspiration?"

"Since everyone knows that Gao is not good at physical confrontation and wants to use confrontation to suppress him, why not let Gao Duo practice free kicks? Just like this..." Bruni pointed to Gao who was celebrating with his teammates on the field Zheng said.

Cacilio turned to look at Bruni: "You're a genius, Luciano! What a great idea!"

"The genius is Gao Zheng. I said that his goal inspired me." Bruni was very humble.

The players of the AC Milan reserve team looked back at the football that was already in the goal, with surprised expressions on their faces.

The previous goal, Gao Zheng scored beautifully, they were not so surprised. Because they knew that Gao Zheng would not take a free kick. He had never kicked a free kick when he played with everyone before.

But why hasn't Gao Zheng even learned free kicks after more than a year?

Was he exiled, or went to level training...

The players of the Sampdoria reserve team were celebrating crazily. They surrounded Gao Zheng and asked loudly, "Have you really not practiced free kicks in private!?"

Gao Zheng quickly shook his head: "Really not...not once, just now was my first time..."

"Unbelievable! How did you come up with the idea of ​​kicking from below?"

"Doesn't the wall usually jump up when defending against free kicks? I thought if I shot a football from under them while they were jumping up, what would happen..."

"genius!"

"As expected of the Great Demon King!"

Everyone praised.

PS, in fact, the free kick that hits the ground is nothing new, but the inspiration for Gao Zheng's ball comes from the free kick of the Colombian player Quintero in this World Cup-I watched that game I just wrote this chapter...

In addition, yesterday I briefly talked about the difference between Japanese football and ours, and from this a topic of "campus football" was extended. So what's wrong with our Chinese campus football?

I wrote a long article in today's official account linhaitingtaoge linhaitingtao11, to talk to you about my views on campus football. This is actually a point I mentioned in this book-we always complain that parents don't send their children to play football, but have we prepared the conditions for these children and their parents to play football?

Everyone is welcome to watch.

Finally, start today's X**C activity:

Four games today.

Australia should be able to beat Peru by one goal.

As for the match between Denmark and France, I think there is no suspense. It is very difficult for Denmark to beat France. France seems to be the most champion in this World Cup. Big news for 6:1...

So I think the French team should be able to beat Denmark with one goal, which is in line with the French team's setting-it can win, but not by a big score.

The game between Nigeria and Argentina in the early hours of tomorrow is a life-and-death battle. Although I criticized Messi's performance in the first two games, I am still optimistic that he will regain his glory in this game and help Argentina beat Nigeria and advance to the knockout round.

So in this game, I am optimistic that Argentina will beat Nigeria by two goals.

As for the match between Croatia and Iceland, it is said that Croatia will rest those players who received yellow cards, but Iceland's strength is limited, and the two teams should draw.

In this way, let us wait and see whether we guessed right or not!
