i don't want to be king

Chapter 231 One-on-one with Ronaldo
With the experience of saving Li Liang's first free kick just now, Van der Sar already understood that the speed of this ball will only get faster and faster after falling from the highest point!

What shocked the central defender and the former Manchester United goalkeeper was that No. 37's free throw posture resembled Beckham very much!
In the extremely short reaction time, Van der Sar subconsciously thought——

This ball must also have a trajectory similar to that of Beckham's "full moon scimitar"!
According to the instant judgment, he has adjusted his center of gravity and tilted to the left in the past——

Then he was stunned and suddenly discovered that the ball suddenly deflected sideways to the right!
Van der Sar was completely powerless and could only watch helplessly as the ball fell toward the goal!

——In order to lower the flying height of the ball, Li Liang deliberately controlled the angle of the ball at the last moment of touching the ball, so the ball flew a little distance after it crossed the wall before it began to fall.

As a result, the ball was only a few centimeters higher than the beam, and it rolled and flew out of the net behind the beam!

The fans exclaimed, including everyone on the field and even Van der Sar, everyone thought that the goal would undoubtedly be scored!
Terry, Lampard and Falcao are all shaking their heads and sighing, as long as the goal is a little lower, the result will be completely different.

A smile finally appeared on Mendieta's face——

He believed that he could at least guarantee not to lose.

Li Liang patted his head vigorously, obviously very frustrated.

When he took the ball again and was placing it carefully, Beckham suddenly yelled at him: "Lee, if you miss this ball again, give me back my jersey!"

Li Liang reacted in a daze and immediately laughed. After putting the ball away, he stood up and shouted, "What if we score?"

Beckham also laughed: "If you score, I'll give you another one!"

"No, two pieces!"

"OK, deal!"

Ferguson was chatting with Lao Lei on the sidelines. Hearing the noise of the audience, they both began to pay attention to Li Liang who was making free throws.

They looked up at the replay on the big screen at the same time, and after watching the old man for a while, he said to Lao Lei: "I know this kid!
Let's go and have a look. "

The two old men also came to the side, just in time to see Li Liang taking the third free throw, which was the last free throw.

Seeing the free throw action that he was so familiar with, the old man widened his eyes in surprise, but he immediately noticed the difference——

No. 37's free throw suddenly drew an obvious "S" arc in the air.

This time Van der Sar still couldn't make an accurate judgment, he stopped in place again and couldn't move.

The ball did not deviate again, and flew into the net accurately along the dead corner on the right!
As the ball hit the net and landed, the audience cheered loudly, and the stars on the sidelines also applauded.

Li Liang rushed towards Beckham excitedly, and gave him a high five to celebrate!

Terry praised Lampard: "This guy is really good, and he has this skill!"

Ronaldo was hugging Rooney's shoulders, and both of them were a little surprised after seeing this beautiful goal.

Rooney winked his eyes and said, "You have met a real opponent. I have a hunch that you may lose to this guy."

Ronaldo's face suddenly stretched: "Wayne, I will definitely win.

You listen to me-

Even if it is a performance, Cristiano will definitely be the ultimate winner! "

Jardim, who was sitting with Laval in the stands, was very surprised. He didn't expect Li Liang to have such a free kick!

He couldn't help but rejoice, how correct his decision to come to meet Li Liang one day earlier now seemed to be!

……

If the two sides draw, an extra game will be played according to the rules. After another draw, Mendieta will take the first penalty.

After seeing Li Liang's performance just now, the battle-tested Mendieta already understood that No. 37 is definitely a player with excellent positioning skills, and his condition is obviously getting better.

He felt a little pressure, because free kicks are really not his strong point.

The one-on-one free kick competition is like the cruel one-on-one free kick after five rounds of penalty kicks. Whoever takes the penalty first will face extra pressure.

Beckham suddenly turned on the microphone and called out loudly for the audience to cheer for Mendieta!

The audience began to applaud rhythmically under the leadership of Beckham, and Mendieta pointed at Beckham and smiled wryly——

Sure enough, Mendieta exerted too much force afterwards, and the free ball directly hit the wall and popped out of bounds!

Hearing the huge and neat applause from the audience, Li Liang's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he immediately recalled the scene at the Haicheng Ten Thousand People Stadium more than a month ago——

At that time, the audience cheered for themselves in exactly the same way before they made free throws!

Now in the more magnificent Stamford Bridge Stadium, nearly 4 spectators are watching him cheering for himself. This feeling gave him an unprecedented shock.

Li Liang's other distracting thoughts gradually disappeared, and he started to run vigorously towards the ball——

Unlike the previous three times, this time he only had the goal in his eyes!
With a bang, the ball was kicked out forcefully——

Due to inertia, the body was still rushing forward, but Li Liang's eyes never left the ball.

He clenched his teeth tightly and did not relax at all, as if he was injecting his willpower into the rapidly spinning ball.

He didn't completely relax until he saw the ball cross the wall again, past the fingertips of the leaping Van der Sar and straight into the bottom of the net——

Li Liang immediately raised his arms and ran to high-five Terry, Lampard and Falcao, and finally rushed to Beckham and shouted: "David, now you have to give me 4 signed jerseys." Already!"

The microphone was not turned off, Li Liang's roar resounded throughout the stadium, and the audience laughed and applauded even more enthusiastically!

Seeing that Li Liang scored free kicks from the same position twice in a row, Jardim couldn't sit still anymore.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed it immediately, then bowed down on the seat, and amidst the huge laughter, applause and cheers of the audience, he covered the mobile phone with his hands and shouted loudly: "...Yes, it was the last time I met you. The Lee we interviewed!
Believe me, we're going to get him no matter what! "

……

Beckham laughed and hugged Li Liang tightly, he picked up the microphone and shouted: "The winner is—"

The audience shouted together: "Li——"

Then came even more enthusiastic applause!

Beckham turned off the microphone and said happily to Li Liang: "Li, if you win the final championship, I will give you as many signed jerseys as you want!
If you lose, you won't get 1 piece, how about it! "

Li Liang laughed loudly: "If I win, I need at most 10 pieces, so it's decided!" After finishing speaking, he ran away.

Neville sighed next to Beckham: "This guy's choice is really unwise. If it was me, I wouldn't make this bet!"

Neville Jr. answered: "Yeah, I could have gotten 4 David's signed jerseys, but now I have nothing."

Beckham did not refute this time, and he was equally uncertain——

Can you give away your own jersey this time?
The second round of lottery began, and Li Liang's good luck continued——

He drew a "bye" so that he will go straight to the final!

The smile on Ronaldo's face disappeared, and his expression became stern.

Then in the second round of the duel, Seedorf played first, and his free kick seemed a little weak.

The first ball went wide, the second and third balls were successfully resolved by Van der Sar.

Cristiano Ronaldo appeared amidst cheers, and there was another rhythmic applause from the audience.

But Ronaldo seemed unmoved, he was extremely focused on every ball.

Three attempts, a hit, a hit to the post and a kick that went wide.

And the most important thing is that Ronaldo also hit an elevator ball with three legs that changed direction significantly in the air.

Unlike the lateral swing of Li Liang's "Rainbow" free kick, Ronaldo's "Tomahawk" free kick will drop rapidly after flying to the highest point.

The most deadly thing is that it is difficult for the goalkeeper to judge when his free kick has reached the highest point, so it is very difficult to make timely and accurate responses.

When this moment really came, Li Liang suddenly felt unbelievable. He suddenly remembered what his boss said when he resigned——

"Play well, Ryoko, it's best for us to see you play against Messi and Ronaldo!"

Are you going to face-to-face with Ronaldo, one of the only two superstars in the world today, who has won the World Footballer of the Year three times?
If at the end of November 2015, before the night when he played FIFA11 at home for the last time, someone told Li Liang that he would have a real one-on-one match with Ronaldo under the eyes of all eyes, then he would definitely feel this People are crazy!
……

The order of appearance in the free kick final also needs to be drawn according to regulations. Ronaldo and Li Liang stood side by side in front of Beckham.

Ronaldo is actually only 5 cm taller than Li Liang, but Li Liang feels that he is always looking up at this "opponent".

Really standing side by side with this world-class superstar, even if it is only a short ten seconds, Li Liang has already fully felt the other party's powerful aura.

Unlike when Ronaldo took the initiative to greet Mendieta and himself before, at this moment Li Liang was facing a Ronaldo who was full of fighting spirit and almost bursting with excitement.

Facing the draw box carried by the caddy, Ronaldo smiled and nodded and pointed to Li Liang.

Li Liangqian gave way, and finally Ronaldo walked up to the caddy first, reached out and took out a note from the box and handed it to Beckham.

Rooney suddenly put his finger in his mouth and whistled a particularly loud whistle at Ronaldo: "Hi Cristiano!
Don't lose, hahaha..."

Cristiano Ronaldo shook hands with the excited caddy very gracefully as if he didn't hear him, and then shook hands with Li Liang.

……

Ferguson and Lao Lei looked at each other, and Lao Lei asked: "...that kid is very good, will Cristiano win?"

Sir Alex laughed: "Cristiano is a born winner.

Don't worry, he will win! "

Terry turned to Lampard: "Frank, Lee's free-kick was fantastic!

But I still prefer that guy! "

Lampard also laughed: "Yes, Cristiano is an out-and-out paranoid, I have never seen anyone who is more eager to win than him!
To be honest, in terms of desire for victory, Li is really similar to the young Cristiano! "

Beckham opened the note and immediately announced loudly to the audience: "According to the result of the draw, Cristiano Ronaldo will play after Lee!"

The audience was restless again. Beckham turned off the microphone and walked to Li Liang who was starting to feel a little uneasy.

Former Manchester United No. 7, who is older than Ronaldo, patted Li Liang on the shoulder and said, "Li, good luck!"
