i don't want to be king

Chapter 229 Challenge Ronaldo

The coach of the "Friends of Lampard" team is known as Lao Lei, the famous senior coach Harry Redknapp.What people talk about more is that he is also Lampard's uncle.

The "Classic Red Devils" team, of course, is in charge of Sir Alex Ferguson himself.

Because it is a charity match with a performance nature, and most of the starting players of both sides have retired for many years, the rhythm of the court is very smooth. The two sides have offense and defense, but there is no too high-intensity confrontation.

Li Liang found that, except for Beckham and others who retired for a short time, the total ratings of the other former superstars are mostly around 70, and the lowest ones have fallen to around 60.

He couldn't help feeling that age is really cruel and insurmountable for professional players.

But it can still be seen that the personal skills and consciousness of these once all-powerful stars are still very exquisite, and they have repeatedly staged wonderful moments that detonated the audience.

In the 29th minute, Duff made a pass from the left. The ball hit Neville's arm. The referee decisively awarded a penalty for Lampard.

Before half-time, Park Ji-sung received Scholes' exquisite through ball and hit the far corner with his left foot. Carlo Cudicini, who has become a coach, fought hard to save. Giggs followed up with a smart follow-up shot and succeeded.

1:1, the two sides drew in the first half.

During the intermission, a free kick confrontation game was arranged on the field, which is also one of the performance activities.

The "Classic Red Devils" sent Ronaldo and Rooney who did not play in the first half. "Friends of Lampard" sent Clarence Seedorf and Gaizka Mendieta.

The referee was Beckham, who took the microphone and signaled the audience to be quiet.

Then he cameo DJ, introducing the four free-kick players in a funny way.

The rules of the confrontation are very simple, Van der Sar is responsible for guarding the goal, and another 5 people are in the wall in friendship.

Li Liang couldn't help getting excited, his legs began to tremble slightly.

He was eager to show it too!
Looking at the stands filled with nearly 4 spectators, he really wanted to let everyone see his free kick on this big stage.

He looked longingly for a while, then sighed softly, how could he be compared with those four stars?
He was originally active in the other half with the substitutes, but soon everyone ran over to watch the excitement.

Li Liang realized that he was the only one left, so he couldn't help but ran over.

Beckham's voice spread throughout the audience, he shouted happily: "Is everyone ready?
Please don't worry, I decided to invite another mysterious guest to participate in the competition!
Five people, a total of five people will decide the final champion! "

After finishing speaking, Beckham pulled over the cameraman next to him, turned off the microphone and whispered something to him.

The cameraman nodded understandingly, and ran away quietly with the camera and his assistant on his back.

Li Liang, like everyone else on the field, stretched his neck and searched everywhere for who this mysterious guest was.

Xiao Yu was also sitting in the stands. Suddenly, she found that Li Liang's picture appeared on the big screen hanging above the stand diagonally across from her!

He obviously hasn't realized that he has been captured in the camera, and he is still looking around with his head up.

At this time, the director also displayed Li Liang's information on the screen. No. 37 of the "Friends of Lampard" team, 25 years old, 5 feet 11 inches (1 meters) tall, 80 pounds (161 kilograms) in weight, position : Central midfielder, currently playing for the team: Haicheng Hurricane...

This was made for each player before the game, and it just came in handy.

There were exclamations from the audience, who recognized the impressive New York City No. 37.

Falcao had already seen it, he laughed and pushed Li Liang, who was caught off guard, out of the crowd.Beckham took the microphone and shouted: "Mystery guest, Li from China------!!!
He has vowed to defeat all opponents and win the final victory! ! ! "

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Li Liang's legs were so frightened that he restrained the urge to pinch his thigh——

How could I, who was completely unknown, be chosen to compete with these super giants? !

Beckham is still talking about the rules——

First draw lots, one player has a bye, and the other four players catch a PK, and each player is limited to 3 penalties.

After the two winners are determined, lots will be drawn again, and the two drawn will continue to face off, and the winner will compete with the bye in the final.

And no matter which person scores more free throws, the charitable foundation will donate 1000 pounds to join the charity raised in this game.

The staff yelled for Li Liang to come and draw lots. Li Liang felt that he could hardly walk anymore, and almost had the same hands and feet!
Standing with the four superstars, he suddenly felt that his height had dropped suddenly, even shorter than the 1-meter Mendieta!
He knew that he was too nervous. When shaking hands with the four stars, Li Liang's heartbeat finally began to slow down when he saw their smiles——

What's so scary? !
I have seen De Bruyne, Nasri, Villa and Pirlo, and I have also competed with Kompany and Falcao on the same field, and even defeated Chelsea on this field!

Li Liang couldn't help cheering himself up secretly.

Seedorf drew a "bye" in the first round, Ronaldo played against Rooney, and Li Liang played against Mendieta.

The first is the duel between Manchester United's two "golden partners" in the frontcourt.

In the cheers of the audience, Rooney took the first penalty.Unfortunately, a ball went wide, hit the crossbar and the other was saved by Van der Sar.

Rooney walked away holding his head in frustration.

Ronaldo walked to the penalty spot, he swung his arms back sharply, and stood upright in front of the ball with his legs spread out-these iconic actions have already been deeply imprinted in the fans' impressions.

Ronaldo was so engrossed that he couldn't see that this was just a fancy show at halftime of a friendly match.

He chose a very difficult free kick called "Tomahawk" by the fans-all the first two goals flew, and the third goal finally went straight to the dead corner!

Van der Sar made a misjudgment and was unable to react in time, watching the ball fall into the net.

After scoring a goal, Ronaldo made a signature celebration move-running, jumping and turning in the air, and powerfully swung his hands to the sides behind him.

Li Liang also applauded warmly with everyone.

Soon it was time for him to face Mendieta. After Ronaldo hugged Rooney, who looked very disappointed on purpose, he ran over to high-five Mendieta and Li Liang.

He said to Li Liang: "Good luck, brother, I look forward to your performance!"

Ronaldo's pure English surprised Li Liang secretly, and his blessing also excited Li Liang.

Mendieta obviously hasn't maintained a certain intensity of exercise for a long time, and his figure looks a little fat.

In his peak period, he was not known for taking free kicks. What people remember more is his super self-confidence and composure when taking penalty kicks, as well as his extremely high hit rate.

Mendieta chose the penalty spot in the designated area about 25 meters away from the goal. He calmly observed the position of Van der Sar, who is 1 meters tall.

The five people who lined up the wall included Ballack, Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, as well as Mizga and the teenager Cheek of the Chelsea reserve team.

These five big men with a height of about 1 meters are all burly, and this "blocking" wall can cause great pressure on free throwers from the perspective of perception!
On Mendieta's slightly vicissitudes of face, his eyes are still calm and sharp.

He raised his hand to indicate that he was ready to start free throws.

I saw him take a deep breath, and began to speed up the run-up, and it seemed that he was about to make a strong shot!
The five people who formed the human wall took off at the same time very tacitly - the tall stature and the powerful bounce greatly increased the difficulty of the free thrower.

Li Liang was the first to notice that Mendieta suddenly slowed down in the last two steps, and finally, unexpectedly, with the back of his foot, he directly pulled out a ground ball vigorously towards the left side of the goal blocked by the human wall!

The ball just jumped under the feet of the jumping Vidic, with a little irregular bounce, and rolled over the turf in the small penalty area for the last time, showing an inconspicuous acceleration.

Van der Sar rushed towards the lower left corner of the goal at full speed. With his height and 45 years old, such a reaction and speed of going to the ground are already very shocking!
But when his hand was about to pounce on the ball, the inconspicuous acceleration caused him to make a slight mistake in his judgment, and the ball rubbed against his fingertips and went straight to the bottom of the net!
