"This is Everton's last chance. Can they hit this free kick?" In the Sky Sports studio, Redknapp Jr. said nervously. -- Please search to see the most complete! The fastest updated novel

"Looking at the situation, it should be Baines or Xia Zelai who took the penalty." Gary Neville added.

"This position is more suitable for right-footed players to take the penalty, but Xia Ze is only a 20-year-old young man, and in Everton last season, he did not score a free kick, and he even rarely took the penalty. Will Fulton 'give' this heavy responsibility to him, and 'give' this opportunity to decide the fate of the team to Xia Ze?" Carragher looked a little dignified.

Although he played for Liverpool, Everton was his sworn enemy. But now he has retired and has become a football commentator in English football. When the English team is fighting abroad, of course he must also lean towards the local team.

"Xia Ze has this ability, and I also think he has a strong enough heart to save the team!" Gary Neville said on the sidelines.

Seeing Xia Ze in the camera at this time, he vaguely remembered that night 14 years ago, when his good friend Beckham saved the England team with a free kick at the last moment.

Inside the stadium, a thousand Everton fans watched nervously, surrounded by the singing of Midtjylland fans.

In the eyes of the Midtjylland fans, the Everton players are in such a bad state today, and it is impossible to take this free kick well, so they are not worried at all.

What's more, now that the team has led by two goals and the game is almost over, winning is almost a certainty.

The difference now is just whether you can keep a clean sheet and don't let the opponent take away even an away goal.

The Everton fans don't think so. Although the team's defeat is inevitable, if they can take away an away goal in the away game, they still have a chance to comeback after returning home.

Otherwise, their situation will be very difficult if they return to the home court behind two goals.

The coaches of both sides on the sidelines obviously understand the meaning of this free kick to both sides better than the fans.

The difference between a goal difference of one goal and a goal difference of two goals, whether there are away goals or not, is absolutely huge. In the eyes of the fans, it may be just a ball difference, but in the eyes of the coach, it will affect the overall layout of the next game.

Martinez put his hands in his pockets. Although he tried his best to relax, the expression on his face still betrayed him.

He is very nervous.

The 'keeper' in Midtjylland was equally nervous.

As a professional player, he has watched many Premier League games, and he also knows how powerful Baines' free kicks are.

In the past week, he has been studying the characteristics of Everton players, Lukaku's 'shot' and 'goal', Xia Ze and Gibson's long-range 'shots', Baines' free kick, all in his research within range.

So at the last moment, Baines stood in front of the ball, which made him feel extra nervous.

After all, from the tricky free kicks from various angles in the video, sometimes arcing and sometimes vigorously 'shooting', this Baines is simply a free kick launcher, there is no fixed form of taking the penalty.

Such a free kicker is the most feared by the goalkeeper.

Beep——

The referee's whistle blows.

The goalkeeper of Midtjylland immediately tightened his nerves and stared at the ball through the gap in the human wall. As long as the opponent's players kicked together, he would fly out like an octopus and block the ball in the goal. 'Beyond.

Baines made a run-up, judging from the running trajectory, it seemed that he wanted to curve the ball around the wall and hit the close corner!

The goalkeeper of Midtjylland was ready to move to the near corner, but Baines stepped directly over the ball and did not choose to hit the goal.

The goalkeeper of Midtjylland breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it wasn't Baines who took the free kick, don't worry so much.

However, in the next moment, he saw the yellow-skinned young man appearing in front of the ball. The ball quickly disappeared in front of his eyes, and then suddenly bypassed the wall and appeared on the right side of his body.

He didn't even have time to react when he saw the ball go from his side into the net.

This angle is too tricky, and the speed is too fast!

The 'goalkeeper' of Midtjylland couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and stared blankly at the ball that went into the net.

And the young man quickly ran into the net after scoring the free kick, and he could clearly hear the young man yelling:

"Quick, we still have a chance!"

This sentence made him a little stunned. He didn't know if the other party said there was a chance, whether it was a chance to equalize in this game, or a chance to reverse in the next game.

In short, the trajectory of the free kick just now made him still unable to recover.

1 to 2, Everton took a free kick from Xia Ze to pull back a city, and also scored an away goal in the away game.

After Xia Ze scored the goal, the frustration on the faces of Everton players also eased a lot. On the sidelines, Martinez clenched his hands tightly in his pockets.

This goal is too critical, too important.

Although there is no way to recover the defeat in this game, but returning home with an away goal, as long as they can beat each other 1-0 at Goodison Park, they can advance to the next round.

If you lose 0 to 2 and return to the home court, you must win by three goals to be able to eliminate your opponent.

This is the gap between two balls!

Xia Ze's goal is equivalent to increasing Everton's promotion probability from less than 10% to more than 50%.

It is no exaggeration to describe this goal as precious.

"Damn it!" the head coach of Midtjylland cursed on the sidelines.

What Martinez knew, he certainly knew very well.

His cursing was not only scolding his team for bad luck, but also scolding himself for neglecting in the past period of time.

In the videos and training instructions given by the goalkeeper coach to the goalkeeper, the free kick was only aimed at Baines alone. He never thought that there was another free kick in the Everton team. Ball master.

And the quality of free kicks taken by this free kick expert is no lower than that of Baines.

Officially, this negligence cost them the price of conceding the ball, and it also made their away trip a week later extremely difficult.

After Xia Ze scored the goal, he quickly fished the ball out of the net and encouraged his teammates to continue to counterattack, but the referee did not give them much time. Less than a minute after the re-kick-off, the referee blew the ball. The whistle for the end of the game.

In the final game, Everton lost 1-2 away to Midtjylland despite being fully optimistic.

Fortunately, Xia Ze scored a free kick at the last moment, thus scoring an away goal, and the chances of returning to the home court have greatly increased.

The premise is that they can adjust their state.
