Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 201 Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, with Joe Hart in the background

At that moment, on the screens of fans from all over the world, such as the Red Country, Italy, Scotland, Portugal, England, Brazil, etc. watching the game, the goal just now was replayed repeatedly on the screens.

Especially for fans of Slovenia, Sesco has become the number one star and the light of the country in this Mediterranean country adjacent to Italy.

They have always believed that the 19-year-old striker can achieve the achievements of Lewandowski and Drogba in the future.

And the perfect copy of Rooney's stunning barb in front of them made them more convinced that this can not only be achieved, but will be achieved soon!

Roma players, whether they were running from the field or rushing from the bench, many of them were running with their heads in their hands, unable to believe what they saw just now.

They grabbed Sesko, shaking and shouting crazily. At this moment, Sesko was the god in their eyes.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, the background is Joe Hart.

The old England goalkeeper had his hands on his hips, feeling 1 helpless in his heart.

He knew in his heart that a goalkeeper like him who was known for his quick response when he was young, especially a goalkeeper who likes to use more extreme position selection and rely on his own reaction ability to catch the ball when he is young, is indeed easy to lose in his old age and state. After the decline, the overall competitive strength declined.

But he really didn't expect to be able to drop so much.

Last season, when Mourinho was still at Tottenham, it was not that he did not give Joe Hart a chance.

But also in the European war, facing the little-known opponent of the Austrian team Linz in the Europa League group stage, Hart was blasted into two long shots by the opponent in one game.

It seems to be bad luck, but it is actually related to the technical characteristics he formed when he was young.

Simply comparing the peak level of his career, Tottenham's number one goalkeeper Lloris is not as good as Joe Hart in the peak years.

But for the vast majority of head coaches, especially those who are determined to win the championship in the long season, a good goalkeeper is not to make those unnatural pounces and save those seemingly impossible balls, but to be a good goalkeeper. It is to control all the shots that should be controlled.

And a really good goalkeeper is to perform a magic attack without making mistakes.

Both Guardiola's coaching team and Mourinho's coaching team have analyzed it with Joe Hart, and when he went to Turin to play in Serie A, the coach there also gave him Buffon as a model , but it is a pity that it is difficult for him to change his technical habits in his thirties.

Take a one-on-one save near-angle shot as an example. Goalkeepers such as Lloris and Buffon will give priority to blocking the near-angle, try to block it as completely as possible, and then leave the preparatory action of the save to the far corner.

The advantage of this is that when there is no shooting space at the near corner, the opponent can only shoot at the far corner, and they don't have to guess the opponent's shooting intention.

But the disadvantage is that because the position is too close to the corner, once the opponent's shot from the far corner is very tricky or extremely fast, the saving distance will not be enough and it is easy to be scored.

However, in a real game, it is not the goalkeeper's responsibility to be pierced by the opponent, and the goalkeeper cannot be completely blamed for being kicked into the far corner which is more difficult by the opponent, but if the near corner cannot be defended, it is definitely the goalkeeper's fault responsibility.

And for young goalkeepers like De Gea and Courtois, they will leave a short gap in the near corner, and their positions are more biased towards the far corner.

This is based on their ultra-quick save reflexes.

Although this will give the opponent a small chance to shoot at the close angle, it will also reduce the distance to save the far angle and increase the success rate of the save.

Especially after the technical feature of De Gea's close-range goalkeeper who likes to use his feet has been widely copied, this kind of position selection that deliberately leaves some distance has also been used by more young goalkeepers.

The problem with Joe Hart is that after he got older and his reaction declined, he did not choose the safer position of Lloris and Buffon, and then used his rich experience to make preparatory actions in advance to pounce on the deliberately left On the side that came out, they still chose the positions of De Gea and Courtois.

As a result, he was often scored by his opponents on both sides. In the eyes of the head coach, he became in an embarrassing situation where he couldn't save what he should have done, and even more couldn't save what he shouldn't have done.

The same is true for long shots.

Except for Rooney's stunning barb, there are many long-range shots that seem to be earth-shattering for the shooter, but in fact they all come from Joe Hart's failed position selection.

Take the classic game between England and Sweden as an example. Before Ibrahimovic scored a super long-range barb, he scored with a direct free kick.

The goal wall is usually placed in front of the near corner, and the goalkeeper's position is usually biased towards the far corner.

This is the standard configuration for free kick defense, that is, the wall is used to block the closer side, and the goalkeeper directly defends the other side that is farther away but not directly exposed by the wall.

This is also because it is difficult for a free kick to bypass the goal wall perfectly and then drop into the near corner.

Even now, in order to prevent opponents from sneaking low balls from under the wall, there is a player lying under the wall to block low balls.

And Joe Hart, in the defense of that ball, stood directly in the middle of the goal.

This kind of position selection cannot be said to be wrong, because there is no absolutely correct answer to the position of the goalkeeper. When facing a player with a very high level of free kick, the goalkeeper standing in the middle of the goal can indeed take into account both sides of the goal at the same time. It is also reasonable to really go around the wall and play a high-level free kick.

But the key depends on the goalkeeper's own state and level.

When Joe Hart was young, with his reaction and height and arm length, he might be able to achieve all-round coverage, but at that time, he had already begun to decline.

As a result, Ibrahimovic hit the far corner and volleyed vigorously from the right side of the wall. The ball bounced twice on the ground. Although Joe Hart, who was in the middle, stretched his body and threw himself completely, But the reaction was still a beat slow, and the ball rolled directly into the goal.

Still the same sentence, the opponent played a world wave, bypassed the human wall and quickly fell into the dead corner. It was not the goalkeeper's fault, but he gave up the side without the protection of the human wall and was directly blasted into the "empty goal" by the opponent, but the goalkeeper was fully responsible.

And that super long-range barb is the number one representative of Joe Hart's failure in position selection.

The Swedish backcourt directly countered with a long pass. In front of Ibrahimovic, the England central defender No. 5 Gary Cahill had clearly occupied the position. Even if the ball fell, it would be difficult for Ibrahimovic to grab the first point. What's more, on the left side of Ibrahimovic, another central defender No. 16 Shawcross, who is physically strong as a substitute, is also approaching.

There are no Swedish players around Ibrahimovic either.

In this case, Joe Hart, who was standing forward to prevent a quick counterattack, still chose to run outside the penalty area to clear the ball with a header and hand the goal to the two central defenders, which would be a big mistake.

It is obvious that this defensive method of abandoning the goal has not been practiced before the game. Gary Cahill, who is on the side with a confused face, has always stood still, and Shawcross did not rush to the goal immediately.

Players in England watched Joe Hart perform. The key is that he jumped high, but he didn't push the ball far.

Everyone knows the last thing. After Ibrahimovic's barb flew out, Gary Cahill was still in place, and Shawcross rushed to the goal to block it. It was already too late.

Of course, people did not blame Joe Hart later because no one could have predicted that Ibrahimovic would hit such an unimaginable ultra-long barb. With Cahill and Shawcross in the position, Ibrahimovic couldn't get a shot at all.

For Sesco's wonderful goal, the Celtics fans also applauded.

However, the applause rang for a long time without stopping.

Zhan Jun, Liu Yue, and many fans wondered in the live broadcast room:
Are Celtics fans this generous?
It wasn't until the live broadcaster put the subtitles on the screen that Zhan Jun explained to the fans that the game had entered the 33rd minute. After several Celtic fan associations reached an agreement with the club, they jointly called on the fans to applaud Chen Xiaoliang.

Many people also held up pre-printed slogans and banners.

After seeing the subtitles and content, everyone understood that it was not so much a tribute to "old rival" Chen Xiaoliang, as an expression of strong dissatisfaction and opposition to "that matter".

"Celtic club joins Roma 33 in strong opposition to UEFA Super League"

It’s just that this link should have been shown when the game was going on normally, and the Celtics’ bench would also applaud to express their opinions, but they didn’t expect that half a minute ago, Cesco scored his own goal...

The camera panned to the box on the second floor. Although the Celtics boss Banker had a dull face, he also applauded in a "gentlemanly" way.

Chen Xiaoliang was at a loss at first, but he didn't understand what was going on until he saw some slogans. While walking back after celebrating, he also applauded and extended his hand to the fans in the audience.

But don't think that with this episode, Celtics fans regard Chen Xiaoliang as one of their own.

One is one, two is two.

When there is a common enemy, we are comrades-in-arms, but the rest of the time, we are still sworn enemies!

Since the clock at the scene jumped from 33 to 34, Celtic fans began to shout cheering slogans for their team again, and as long as Chen Xiaoliang got the ball, there would be bursts of boos.

After the two midfielders Callum and Matteoli were stared at by Weiletu and Chen Xiaoliang, their chances of getting the ball were greatly reduced.

As a countermeasure, the two sides of the Celtics took on more missions from the backcourt to the frontcourt, while the remaining midfielder Lianyang could only retreat significantly to help.

In this way, not only are the defenses on the two wings prone to loopholes, but the smooth and frequent short-pass cooperation between the three Japanese internationals and Jota has also become alienated because of the retreat of the standard-bearer Reyo.

The Celtics' offensive pressure suddenly decreased significantly.

One ebbs and another, and the reduced defensive pressure means that the two wingbacks, Malasia and Zalewski, have the opportunity to continue to press.

However, Roma's offense still maintains a simple style of play, advancing to the frontcourt as quickly as possible, shooting when there is a chance, and then quickly returning to defense, waiting for the Celtics to press next time.

But if Joe Hart always becomes the background board and has his own shortcomings, then for Roma, the goalkeeper is also a big hidden danger.

After all, Fozzato is a second-door player who has been out of battle for a long time and was ordered in a crisis. At such an important stage in the middle and late stages of the season, he suddenly replaced the injured Patricio on the field. In fact, he himself was not ready.

In the 43rd minute, the Celtics relied on left-back Taylor's insertion, cooperated with the pass and cut between the standard-bearers Lianyang and Horta, and slowly pressed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Zalewski saw that the number of defenders on the side was weak, so he directly retracted to defend in the penalty area.

High ball cross?

Mourinho said before the game that the Celtics' small forwards who are a little over 1.7 meters tall, if they want to pass a high ball from the side, just let them pass.

The defensive players should give priority to their sudden advances and retreats in the penalty area, the front of the goal after receiving a low pass, and the inverted triangle shot.

Seeing that the flag bearer Lianyang cut to the left, made a tentative breakthrough in the ribs, and was not ready to go to the bottom, Zalewski sideways defended the inside line, defended his outside line, followed the opponent's footsteps and retreated step by step, keeping a defensive distance.

Suddenly, the standard bearer Lianyang swayed to the right, making a gesture of cutting in, and Zalewski hurriedly took a step to his left to block the breakthrough route.

At this step, Zalewski completely released his right side.

Beside the standard bearer Lianyang, Horta jumped in at high speed, and the standard bearer Lianyang pushed the ball to him!
After receiving the ball, Horta changed his direction and wiped it in the penalty area.

Seeing that he was about to approach the near post, Zalewski was startled, and immediately turned around and rushed towards Horta!And the right central defender Mancini also blocked up!

And just at this moment, Lian Yang, the banner bearer, was let go again.

Horta resolutely adhered to the principle of not making physical contact with the opponent. When the two were approaching him, he knocked the ball back to Lianyang, the standard bearer who moved a few steps to the middle of the penalty area.

At this time, Daran Maeda and Hengwu Furuhashi were wandering in the middle, Smalling and Ibanez couldn't get away at all, and Callum was already in place at the front of the penalty area, and Weiletu and Matic sealed it On the front, it was too late to help defend the flag bearer Lianyang.

Lianyang, the standard bearer who was let out, took a step forward, ready to shoot a curveball!
Zhan Jun: "Smolin came up to block it!"

"It's a feint!"

"The standard bearer Lianyang passed Smolin to the ancient bridge Hengwu in the middle!"

"Celtic's top scorer ready to hit goal!"

"Fozato has rushed out!"

"Mancini, who was rushing back, and Ibañez, who was on the side, also rushed towards him!"

"Shoot!"

"It's still a feint!"

"Pass to Daran Maeda who is unmarked on the right!"

"Shoot!"

"Oh! Why is it still a fake action!"

"Malaysian tackle!"

"Foul! The referee blew the whistle!"

Liu Yue: "This ball is too complicated. There was nothing in front of Lian Yang, the standard bearer, and he was in the penalty area. He could hit the goal directly."

Zhan Jun: "That's right, including Guqiao Hengwu, who caught the ball later, can also play as soon as he catches the ball, but it seems that they still want to improve the success rate of the final blow. To put it bluntly, they want to pass the ball into the goal only satisfied."

Liu Yue: "Hengwu Furuhashi fooled not only Ibañez, but also the goalkeeper Fuzato. Maeda Daran received the ball and shot directly. These Japanese players played too delicately. , too thin."

Zhan Jun: "Let's see, after listening to the opinions of the video referee team, the referee showed a yellow card to Malaysia and awarded Celtic a penalty kick!"

With the cheers of the fans in the field, and the complaints of some players in Roma, the referee was indifferent and blew his whistle to let unrelated players leave the penalty area.

As the number one striker of the Celtics, Furuhashi Henggo naturally took the right to free throws.

Everyone on and off the field in Rome was sweating for Forzato, including himself, who was also in a state of anxiety.

"Where to go?" Fuzzato thought for a while, and cast a questioning look at Chen Xiaoliang, who was already standing outside the restricted area with a serious face.

The battle with Atlanta can be said to have completely established the supremacy of the Reds in the locker room except for Mourinho. They stood up when there was no goalkeeper, turned the tide and helped the building. led the team to the promotion victory.

He did everything a leader should do, and naturally gained the full trust of everyone.

Although the Roma players later learned that Nuno Santos' note was just a psychological warfare tool to fool the opponent, Chen Xiaoliang was the perfect actor.

For such a hasty and inexplicable penalty, Fuzzato had to ask Chen Xiaoliang for advice.

But the referee kept blowing the whistle to drive away the players in the penalty area, and Chen Xiaoliang couldn't "commit crimes against the wind" to go in. If that was the case, he would definitely be rewarded by the referee with a "Golden God of War Card".

And with the whistle blowing, the applause and curses in the stadium one after another, he couldn't hear what Fozato was saying in Portuguese at all.

It seems to hear words like "direction" and "will it work".

Chen Xiaoliang knew that Fuzato was asking for his opinion, but how did he know where Little Japan was going to kick.

He hesitated for a while, thinking that since Fozzato had already made up his mind, he would support him, maybe he would guess right, anyway, no matter how powerful the goalkeeper is, there is no way to make a penalty kick.

What's more, even if he has suggestions, he can't say them in front of so many Celtics players.

So he looked at Fuzzato, pointed with his index finger, and gave a thumbs up to give him a thumbs up, which means believe in yourself and you will succeed!

"Beep!"

Romania referee Istvan Kovac blows his whistle.

Guqiao Hengwu turned his head to look at the ball placed on the penalty spot, then took a deep breath and started to run!
