Chapter 175: Su Chao Giants——Celtics
The ball did not go directly into the net as Li Zihan imagined, but was blocked by the goalkeeper with both hands.

"Foster!! He blocked Lee's shot, great save!!"

But the ball was not hugged by Foster, but hit Foster's hand and bounced into the small penalty area.Li Zihan was still stunned and didn't react, but Vucinic seized the opportunity.

He rushed into the small penalty area and took a direct shot against the ball.

"Vucinic!!"

Foster, who fell on the ground, kept his eyes on the ball and saw Vucinic's supplementary shot. He was not as clumsy as other tall men.Instead, he bounced up from the ground flexibly and made another side save.

The ball flying to the other side of the goal was firmly pressed under his body by Foster!

The live commentator in Scotland shouted excitedly: "Frazer——"

The audience of [-] Celtics shouted together, "Foster!!!!"

"Fraser Foster!!! Made a world class save, blocked Lee's shot and he was on the ground, Vucinic's follow-up shot made him jump from the ground again .The tenacious blocking of Vucinic's inevitable follow-up shot was wonderful. It simply violated the laws of physics. The reaction of the big man was simply amazing. This is definitely a world-class save!!"

Vucinic spit out depressed, facing the opponent such a wonderful save Vucinic also seemed helpless.He stood there with his hands on his hips, and shook his head wryly.

Li Zihan came up and patted Vucinich on the shoulder to comfort him.

Vucinic said jokingly: "This goalkeeper is too fucking evil."

"I know I know."

In fact, Li Zihan himself was bound to win that shot.Relying on Vucinic's wonderful shot fake action before, and the concealed pass through the crotch.Coupled with his own sudden rush into the penalty area, a powerful diagonal shot, the ball runs at high speed.

Li Zihan is very confident, even Buffon or "Saint Cassie" 80.00% may not necessarily save this ball.But he was pounced on by a goalkeeper whose name he had never heard of before.

Not only that, he also miraculously bounced off the ground in such a short time, and once again made sideways relief to Vucinic's follow-up shot.it's just unbelievable
It turns out that this big guy with a height of two meters not only has a large defensive area! Li Zihan thought in his heart.

Although Foster's world-class save boosted the Celtics' morale, the Celtics are far behind Juventus in terms of overall strength.

In several counterattacks, they almost failed to threaten the gate guarded by Buffon. The three-centre defense of Barzagli, Bonucci and Caceres made them return without success.

Coupled with Vidal's "shit-stirring stick" ability in the midfield, the Celtics' two starting high center forwards Samaras and Stokes are even more useless.

However, after a wonderful save by Foster, Li Zihan's competitiveness was greatly stimulated.The shooter and the goalkeeper are always natural enemies. Meeting an excellent goalkeeper is a tragedy for most shooters, but for Li Zihan, this is the motivation for him to perform.

Of course, the key point is that the Celtics' defenders cannot pose a threat to Li Zihan at all, and there are many excellent goalkeepers in Serie A.But there is still a "wall" in front of the Serie A goalkeeper, and the Celtics are undoubtedly wide open for Li Zihan.

After 5 minutes, Li Zihan pulled the side to shake off the opponent's defender, and then cut inside immediately before the full back came up.Immediately afterwards, he used a feint to deceive the central defender and seized the opportunity to shoot.

Foster used his actions to tell everyone that he was not an accidental goalkeeper, and Li Zihan's shot was thrown down by him again.

Li Zihan was not convinced, and kept relying on his own ability to break through and shoot, or to create opportunities for his teammates to shoot.But just can't open Foster's ten fingers, almost Juventus has formed a frantic bombardment of the Celtics' goal.

The commentator even said: "This is simply a game where Li and ten Juventus players bully the opponent's goalkeeper Foster."

The Celtic fans at the scene were both happy and surprised. The happy thing is that Foster has shown his ability as always, but the surprised thing is that maybe the opponent will break the goal in the next moment.

Because Foster is not a god, facing the opponent's stormy attack, it seems that sooner or later he will lose the ball.

Foster is a product of the youth training of the Premier League "Old Noble" and "Magpies" Newcastle team, but he has not represented the first team in the Premier League during the six years in Newcastle, and sat in the position of the third goalkeeper of the first team for two years .

Later, he decided to go out for training and started a wandering life on loan from Newcastle.

In the summer of 23, Foster joined Celtic, the overlord of the Scottish Super League, on loan. He also started in the league against Motherwell. Second, it has maintained [-] zero seals.

After the end of the season, the Celtics renewed their lease on Foster. In the new season, Foster contributed 25 clean sheets and helped the Celtics regain the Scottish Super League title.

Last summer, the Celtics bought out Foster. Since then, Foster has become a player of the Celtics. After the rival Glasgow Rangers were relegated due to financial problems, the Celtics had no rivals in the league. Shine in the Champions League.

In this season's Champions League group match against Barcelona, ​​several wonderful saves were staged, and then the Celtics qualified for the group.

If it is said that Li Zihan deserves most of the credit for Juventus' group qualifying, then most of the credit for Celtic's group qualifying lies with Foster.His wonderful performance kept the Celtics in goal.

There is a saying "A good goalkeeper is worth half a team!" This is the current Celtic's Foster.

There are even rumors that Mourinho intends to introduce Foster to replace Casillas, who is in a lot of state and has conflicts with him, and is known as "Saint Casillas".

It is no secret that Casillas and Mourinho are at odds. In the last Champions League games, Mourinho started with substitute goalkeeper Lopez.

Although it is a rumor spread by the media, it can also be seen from this aspect how outstanding Foster's current ability and competitive state are.

But Foster is really not a god, and his physical strength has been consumed in the highlight performance in the Champions League group stage.Although there are substitute goalkeepers who can take turns in the league, the two games against Barcelona really cost him a lot.

Although the "cosmic team" has not been so perverted since the end of the Guardiola era, how tough is their offense?How can the average team afford it?
So the game against Barcelona was almost Foster fighting against the opponent's offense alone, just like fighting against Juventus alone now.

Coupled with Li Zihan's constant "surprises", Foster's body and state have reached a critical point.

Now every attack and every shot of Juventus is oppressing and testing Foster.

And the Celtics' offensive line, which shines in the league, is also missing in Juventus' excellent Italian defense.Juventus, which has no pressure on defense, is even more aggressive in offense. Almost all players except goalkeeper Buffon and the three central defenders are pressing on the offense.

The Celtics' counterattack did not seize the opportunity at all, and the little Brown performed well.However, the two center forwards in front of him couldn't form an effective cooperation with him at all, which also made his attack drown in the abyss of silence.

In the end, Foster still couldn't hold on. Facing Li Zihan, who was so fast and elusive, his physical strength and state began to slowly collapse.

In an attack, Li Zihan once again regarded the opponent's defense line as intangible, and after a personal breakthrough, he passed the ball to Vidal who quietly inserted.

After Vidal received the ball, he found that the opponent's defense had been disrupted by Li Zihan.There was an open space ahead of him, so he made a choice.

Take a long shot about 35 yards from the goal and hit the far corner of the goal.

"Vidal -- long shot!!!"

Foster kept his eye on the ball's path before making a save.The powerful long-range shot hit Foster's chest. After the ball bounced high in the air, it landed behind the goal and crossed the baseline.

"Foster!!!! It's Foster again! The amazing Englishman has been in good form lately. How many times has he saved the team in this game? I have to say, Newcastle missed a good goalkeeper , look at what he did with Celtic, especially against Barcelona and now Juventus!"

Foster did not stand up immediately this time, but fell to the ground and rested for a few seconds.He covered his chest and rubbed it. Obviously, "blocking the machine gun with his body" this time made him feel uncomfortable.

"Of course, this also directly shows the emptiness of the Celtics' defense line. Their defense line is vulnerable to Juventus' strong offensive ability. And they have not made achievements in offense. After all, it is impossible for Foster to It can save the team once, I think the head coach of the Celtics must do something, otherwise Foster may not be able to persist in such a long bombardment."

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the Celtics conceded the ball
Pirlo took a corner kick and the ball went straight to the front point.Bonucci overwhelmed the opponent's central defender and grabbed the header, but his header was not a direct goal, because he was not sure whether the opponent's goalkeeper would catch the header, and Foster was so tall, quite There are advantages.

Bonucci headed the ball and the ball came to the back point.

Because Li Zihan is not a traditional center forward, he has no header advantage, so in Conte's corner kick tactics, he was arranged to respond at the back point outside the penalty area.

At this time, the advantages of this arrangement are reflected.
