ball at foot

The game against Real Betis went unexpectedly smoothly.Less than 5 minutes into the game, Liverpool got their first chance to score.

When Joaquin of Betis broke through with the ball, he was blocked by Sissoko and Riise.After Joaquin was forced to take a step towards the middle, Alonso broke the ball with a tackle, and then, before getting up from the ground, Alonso protected the ball and kicked Gave it to Figo on the wing.

Figo immediately made a long pass and kicked the ball directly behind the defense line.A simple and quick counterattack, in less than three seconds, a counterattack has been completed.

Betis' defense line is still relatively forward, about 25 meters away from the goal.Such a distance greatly increases the difficulty of anti-offside when counterattacking.Morientes' speed was obviously slower, he failed to catch up with the ball flying across the backcourt, but Zhao Yaning's speed was sufficient, and he ran towards the ball's landing point quickly.At this time, Betis goalkeeper Dobras had already rushed out, and the two rushed to the ball almost in no particular order, but when Dobras fell down to catch the ball, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball away. He got up, lobbed a shot, and headed for the door.Juanito, who was chasing back, failed to catch up with the ball in time. He tackled it with one foot, but the ball rolled into the net in front of his feet.

"Zhaochao's lob shot scored! Quite a beautiful shot! Zhao Yaning's shot was very beautiful, Dobras could do nothing, he could only watch the ball fall into the net!" [

When Zhao Yaning turned around, he also ran towards his teammates and celebrated with high fives.Although this goal seemed to be a simple touch, in private, he had been training for too long in the training space.

He shot like this, in fact, he also followed Raul's opinion.In the training space, when he had been practicing various shooting techniques, Raul directly enlightened him.

"What you need is not to master every method of shooting. You have to think about your own position first, then think about where you often shoot, and then think about your way of playing."

In this regard, Raul further guided, "First of all, you are an attacking midfielder, so turning around and shooting in the penalty area, or making precise shots immediately after receiving the ball in the penalty area are not skills that you need to be particularly familiar with. , These are the things that only the post center or the point-grabbing center need to learn. All you need to learn is to shoot from a few positions: the long-range shot from the front of the penalty area, the handling of small-angle shots next to the goalposts on both sides, and then There is a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper when there is a quick counterattack."

"I can think of the first two. I can still shoot from the front of the penalty area. As for shooting from a small angle, I should have learned Henry's technique of shooting from far corners, right? But, what about the shots during the quick counterattack?"

"When you counterattack quickly, it forms a one-on-one between you and the goalkeeper. There are two methods with the highest success rate. One is to pass the goalkeeper directly and shoot an empty goal. The other is to lob the goalkeeper. Pass the goalkeeper The best person to use this method is Ronaldo. If you search a little bit, you can see that he has a lot of shots that pass the goalkeeper and then shoot empty goals. But the method of passing the goalkeeper has its own great advantages. Dangerous. Goalkeepers can catch the ball with their hands. After all, their hands are more flexible than their feet. You can’t pass him. Passing the goalkeeper is a shooting method that requires the cooperation of the goalkeeper. However, if you shoot, you can guarantee that almost every successful goalkeeper is capable of doing it. As long as he dares The way of attacking and lobbing to break the goal has the highest success rate."

It is precisely after hearing these words that Zhao Yaning practiced almost all lob shots and small-angle shots this summer, and this style of play also had a very good effect.

In the opening 5 minutes, the away game led by 10, which made Zhao Yaning also feel that his summer practice was not in vain.

In the 10th minute, Liverpool ushered in another chance.

This time, Zhao Yaning, who withdrew to the midfield, received the ball from the feet of Sissoko and gave it to Alonso. Alonso kicked Figo on the right.Figo passed the ball long to Zhao Yaning, and Zhao Yaning had already rushed up along the left side at this time.

Varela tried to block Zhao Yaning’s breakthrough, but Zhao Yaning directly changed direction and flashed towards the middle. Just when he thought Zhao Yaning was about to cut in, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to the left, and the ball was passed by himself. Successfully waded through Varela's obstruction.But at this time, Zhao Yaning threw off him, stopped suddenly with a spike, turned around and threw away Juanito who was defending, and kicked the ball into the penalty area with one kick.

Morientes jumped up, and with his header, he slid the ball to the far point, met Garcia who was coming forward, and immediately shot!

This shot from close range allowed Dobras to make a save, and he could only watch helplessly as the ball irritated the gate.

"Liverpool scored two goals in 10 minutes! It seems that as a newcomer to the Champions League, Betis is indeed inexperienced. Although they are at their home court, they have been tortured by Liverpool."

After scoring two goals in a row, Liverpool's attack pace also slowed down.The strength of Real Betis is obviously worse than they imagined.Fernando in their attacking midfielder position hardly played a role, and Joaquin was looked down upon. From the beginning of the game, it was a dialogue between Liverpool and Betis' defense. Their midfield and forward roles are very important small.

At 25 minutes, Betis' frontcourt ushered in another opportunity.Assuncao got a free kick in the front court, which made the fans start clamoring wildly.His free kick skills are very good, and Betis fans are also looking forward to him being able to score a free kick.

However, after the ball was released, it was obviously not strong enough.Reina stepped forward and grabbed the ball in his hand.

This made the surrounding fans immediately sigh.

"Before the game, the Spanish media claimed that Assuncao's free kick scoring rate was between 40p%. But the ball obviously didn't spin enough. Such a free kick obviously cannot be regarded as a master." [

Martin Taylor said something in a vicious tone.Sometimes, media bragging is really annoying.There are many times when the media does not look at the specific performance of the players when reporting, but speaks according to their own memory. Therefore, there will always be people who claim that the free kick scoring rate is like a penalty kick.

But in fact, where is there someone with such a high scoring rate?In the whole of Europe, according to last season's statistics, the highest rate of free kicks was only 21% of Riquelme's. Moreover, this is the data that he is only willing to send free kicks in the position he is good at.Among the other free kick takers, the highest scoring rate is Juninho's 17%, which is equivalent to taking one goal six times.Beckham's 13% is also a fairly high statistic, which is equivalent to one goal seven times.However, Assuncao is obviously higher than their first class.Although his free kick level is indeed good for a small team, it is really not enough compared to a rich team.In sports warfare, his main job is to divide the ball and shoot forward.But these two jobs are not so easy to use in front of a strong Premier League team like Liverpool.It's not that he's not strong enough, it's just that he has encountered a team whose style of play is too incompatible.

At No. 30 minutes, Betis was overwhelmed by Liverpool's onslaught. Before the end of the first half, they asked Dani to replace Fernando and began to play bilaterally.Dani's technical characteristics are quite similar to Joaquin's.And after he played, Betis made a bold adjustment: they moved Joaquin to the left, trying to rely on this approach to enhance their attack.

This way of playing is also because Joaquin was stared too hard on the right.Everyone knows that he is the strongest point of Betis. As long as he has the ball, he is very guarded.Although Joaquin's sense of the ball is top-notch, he also has the problem of being extremely sticky to the ball. Not to mention his weak coordination ability, he doesn't even like to use the ball to pass the ball. The performance of the national team, 'Vicente at least knows that there is Horno, and Joaquin doesn't care whether Salgado lives or dies'.Such players can play well in the open La Liga, but when they encounter Premier League players who like to engage in physical confrontation, they are greatly restricted.In addition, it was a mistake for La Liga teams and Premier League teams to compete for headers, so Betis wanted to try to let him play on the left. In fact, they also understood that he was kicked out in less than 10 minutes. Forcing substitutions in the first half, they are already seeking victory in defeat.

However, such a change of positions made Maicon laugh.

It really doesn't make any sense to compete with others.Only by playing against the No. [-] winger in La Liga can I show my level...

When Joaquin broke through again, Maicon immediately posted it.Joaquin tried to change direction to the left and swayed for a while, but Maicon's score was pasted, and he was not given a chance to break through to the right.Relying on the squeeze of his body, Maicon forced Joaquin to lead all the way to the bottom line, but Joaquin still couldn't find a chance to kick a cross or change direction. The left side is not his good direction, Nai Under this, he took a step back, turned around and tried to pass.But when he turned around, Maicon had already made a close call, snatched his ball, and then rushed forward with the ball.

A very good steal.Generally speaking, the defensive side is at a disadvantage, and it is rare for Maicon to be able to steal the opponent so well.What's even more rare is that after breaking the ball, he was able to dribble it in.Even if there is a reason why Joaquin is not in his familiar position, it is very difficult to achieve this step.

"Beautiful one-on-one interception by Maicon! He launched a counter attack!"

When the commentator was still excited, Maicon had already launched an attack, but before the midfield line, he passed the ball to the center with one kick while running.He is very clear that it is difficult to hit the target when crossing at high speed, and Morientes is also running, so he may not be able to stop. Therefore, he did not give the ball to Morientes, but gave it to Zhao Yaning.And Zhao Yaning also understood his thoughts. He accelerated with one foot and rushed to the front right. At this time, Garcia ran near the penalty area. , and passed it on accurately.

Garcia faced the ball and kicked it with a cross.In the penalty area, Morientes jumped up high, hit the ball with a header, and smashed the ball towards the goal!

"gooool!!!!!! Liverpool's third goal!!! Morientes!!! Assist from Garcia, Liverpool players, played a beautiful match!"

Morientes ran towards Garcia, Zhao Yaning also rushed over, the three hugged together to celebrate the performance of this game, and were also happy for Garcia's performance.

Watching Liverpool's celebration, Joaquin was still a little speechless.Looking at Garcia who played so well, he seemed to see that the jersey of his national team's main players really won't last long

ps: One more sentence: Luis Garcia entered the Spanish national team for the first time in reality in March 2005, and played against the Chinese national team... The game in the book is gone.So he still has not been selected for the national team.In the 3 World Cup, Garcia was indeed the main force at the beginning, and the reason was that he knew how to cooperate better than Joaquin.
