football killer

Chapter 84 Zola is not old

Listening to Redknapp's words, George couldn't help but looked depressedly at Lampard who was running wildly on the pitch.Now that Redknapp has said this, it can be confirmed that Lampard is absolutely world-class in terms of physical fitness.

Thinking of the fact that before the start of the game, the head coach Houllier told himself and others that Lampard is famous for his physical fitness. When he was at West Ham United last season, he played a full 38 games. Thinking of this, George has to say that Lampard is a physical superman.

The same strength is outstanding, and the young Gerrard will naturally not watch himself being cut off by Lampard, get up from the ground, and immediately chase Lampard.

For Gerrard who was chasing after him, Lampard was also very clear. Seeing that Gerrard was getting closer and closer to him, he directly kicked the ball and the ball flew towards Gudjohnsen quickly.

Who is Gudjohnsen? That's Iceland's skater. He typically plays football with his brain, whether he's a center forward or a winger, or even a midfielder.When I was in Eindhoven, I was able to partner with Ronaldo. If I didn't have a certain strength, no one would believe it.

Feeling the continuous pushing of Henkez behind him, Gudjohnsen stuck in his position, not letting his body move at all, raised his head to watch the ball in the air, and jumped high.

The moment Gudjohnsen jumped up, Henkez, who was in charge of defending Gudjohnsen, naturally jumped up at the same time, ready to fight for the ball.

Seeing Henkez jumping up at the same time, Gudjohnsen knew that he could not head the ball directly, so he instantly gave up the idea of ​​heading the ball.Since Gudjohnsen's position is very reasonable, he directly stopped Henkez behind him, and stopped Lampard's pass with his chest in the air.

When Gudjohnsen fell from the air, his feet had just stood on the ground, and the ball hadn't even landed on the ground, he suddenly took a big step towards Henkez, looked at Henkez head-on, and put the ball behind him.Relying on his excellent sense of the ball, Gudjohnsen didn't even look at it, and directly picked up the falling ball with his heel, and passed it to Zola on the side.

Although Zola is old and old, and his physical fitness declines and consumes very quickly, Zola is a real world-class striker. His skills, experience, and awareness are all still there.

Seeing Gudjohnsen's pass, Zola exploded in an instant, rushed towards the ball quickly, grabbed the ball before Hyypia, and directly shoveled it to the bottom.

The ball was very tricky and rolled towards the goal quickly from the ground. Although Dudek also tried his best to save it, but because the shot was too close to the goal, when Dudek reacted, it was too late.The football rolled directly into the goal from Dudek's hands.

"Coooooooooooooooooal!!! Gianfranco Zola, a beautiful tackle, pierced the goal of Liverpool, who said our Gianfranco is old, Zola is not old, he is still the best striker in the world, he is still the greatest striker of our Chelsea."

The entire Stamford Bridge Stadium, also because of Zola's goal, began to explode like a ignited torch. All Chelsea fans shouted the name of Gianfranco Zola.

You know, before Zola came to Chelsea, Chelsea was not considered a strong team in the Premier League at all. At best, it could only be regarded as a "giant killer."

But after Zola came to Chelsea, Chelsea began to rise and grow rapidly. In the first year Zola came to Chelsea, he helped Chelsea win the FA Cup after an absence of 26 years.Since then, Chelsea has leapt from an obscure mid-stream team to a super powerful team with superior strength.In the second season, Chelsea made persistent efforts. With Zola's outstanding performance, Chelsea became the champion of the European Cup Winners' Cup in the 1997-1998 season. Even the title of England Footballer of the Year fell on Zola's head.

It can be seen that after Zola came to Chelsea, he brought huge changes to Chelsea. Zola played a decisive role in Chelsea's ability to become the current Premier League powerhouse.

It can be said that Zola belongs to the kind of superstar who can achieve the effect of changing a team by one person. This kind of player is the player most needed by any team, and the player most respected and loved by fans.

You must know that a player changes a team. This rarely happens in football history. There are indeed some, but none of them have reached the level of Zola vs. Chelsea.Regarding a player changing a team, in the entire history of world football, there is only one person who can do better than Zola, and Zola was his substitute at that time, that is, the king of Naples, Italy: Maradona.

With a smile on his face, Zola stretched out his hands and ran slowly along the side of the field. Everywhere Zola went, the fans there would burst into wild shouts. In the minds of Chelsea fans, Zola is the spiritual leader of Chelsea and the king of Stamford Bridge.

Lampard and other Chelsea players also became very excited after seeing Zola's goal, and a group of people ran slowly behind Zola.Although the Chelsea players were very excited, no one stepped forward to bother Zola. At this moment, Zola accepted the cheers of Chelsea fans alone. For the 35-year-old Zola, every goal may mean that this goal may be Zola’s last goal. Lampard and others are also unwilling to disturb Zola to accept the cheers of the fans.

"Good job, Gianfranco, let the Liverpool people know how good you are." Seeing Zola's goal, Ranieri couldn't help but waved his hand. Ranieri has always trusted Zola, a disciple in Naples.

Ranieri believes that even if his team is currently not comparable to the giants of the Premier League, with Zola in the front line, the young genius Lampard in the midfield, the defensive core Desailly in the backcourt and the experienced goalkeeper Cudicini, his team is definitely a strong team in the Premier League, a team that no team dare to underestimate.

Due to age, Zola did not celebrate for a long time, but stopped after trotting for a while, ready to continue the game.For Zola, the extremely precious physical energy at present does not need to be spent on celebrations, but on competitions.

It wasn't until Zola finished his solo celebration that Lampard and others stepped forward one by one and gave Zola a hug to celebrate.For the congratulations from his teammates, Zola naturally smiled.

What is completely different from Chelsea is Liverpool, especially Hypia. At this moment, Hypia can't figure out why the little Zola, who in his own eyes, can't run no matter how much he can, burst out with such a terrifying speed at the moment of shooting.

But what makes Hypia even more sad is that because of his own negligence, Zola got a chance to shoot, making Liverpool currently behind. While deeply blaming himself, Hypia also pretended to be nothing, and cheered for his golfers. After all, Hypia is currently the captain on the field and the team is behind.
