Almighty legend life

Chapter 425

As the birthplace of modern football, England's enthusiasm for football can be seen from their "famous" football hooligans. However, it is a pity that, as a country so fanatical about football, they are popular all over the world. The honors they have won are not many. Apart from winning a World Cup in 1966 by taking advantage of the hosts, they have no other honors. They have never even participated in the final of the European Cup.

Therefore, England has always been regarded as a "marginal area" in European football, and their tactical level should be "silly, big, black and thick" in the image of the European continent.

However, the Arsenal team, which competed against Real Madrid for the Champions League title at the Stade de France today, made fans in France and even other European countries shine. Not to mention how delicate the skills of the Arsenal players are, just from their control in the midfield The passing and running skills shown are enough to show how high the technical and tactical level of this team is. Real Madrid once couldn't even touch the ball for a period of time.

For Liu Han, this Champions League final did not make him too nervous. In contrast, he has participated in NCAA finals and NBA finals, although these basketball games are not as influential as the Champions League final in the world. Influence, but Liu Han did not feel too nervous because of this, he continued to run in the midfield as always, receiving the ball, passing the ball, and then ran to the next place to meet his teammates, the Arsenal midfielder was in his Driven to control the rhythm of the game very well.

Real Madrid organized several effective attacks after the start of the game, but gradually they found that their ball possession rate began to decline, and at the same time the defense line began to return to their own penalty area without knowing it. The siege.

On the sidelines, Real Madrid coach Del Bosque touched his already bald head with some depression. This is a little habit of his. Touching the hair that was about to fall out, now he can only touch his own smooth scalp.

Bosque is actually a little dissatisfied with the current team president, Sanz. The chairman has interfered too much in the team's transfer work, although Bosque knows that he cannot completely control the ball in the Real Madrid management with many factions. The transfer of the team, but he hopes that he has enough suitable players in his hands, but for now, he just tries his best to ensure that the current lineup can play to the maximum level.

Bosque has always felt that the team lacks enough players with sufficient control in the midfield. Redondo is indeed talented enough, but his character of advocating freedom prevents him from becoming the leader of the team. You know, he even rejected the Argentine coach at the time. Passarella's "short hair order" missed the 98 World Cup in France.At that time, Passarella, who was the head coach of Argentina at the time, asked his players not to wear long hair and earrings on the field. Even the "God of War" Batistuta cut his iconic long hair short, while Redon Duo chose to fight to the end, and he failed to participate in the 98 World Cup in the end.

Originally Bosque thought that Real Madrid had many good midfielders, such as Makelele, Seedorf, etc., but these players that Bosque thought were very suitable were sold off one by one by Chairman Sanz, which made Bosque Squeak is currently stretched thin in midfield, and now this midfield lineup is the only one in the team that Del Bosque thinks can play.

Now that Arsenal are gradually gaining an advantage in the midfield, Bosque can't help feeling a little annoyed. If Makelele is still there, if Seedorf is still there, Bosque thinks he can definitely come up with a lineup that restrains Arsenal's midfield. In Bosque's view, as long as Liu Han is strangled, Arsenal's lineup is useless.

After the Arsenal team gradually took control of the midfield, they began to organize an attack that threatened Real Madrid's goal.

When Liu Han was in the midfield, Redondo was close at hand. Although Redondo seldom made great defensive moves in the game, it has to be admitted that Redondo occupied a large part of Real Madrid's defensive system. The important position, his defensive awareness and decisive position make him one of the best midfield defenders in this Champions League. Redondo, who was born in a middle-class family, is like a medieval knight holding a rapier on the field. There is a sense of extravagance.

But today Redondo's aura is gone, Liu Han made Redondo feel tremendous pressure, and this pressure comes from all aspects.

Lei Dongdo found that it was difficult for him to keep up with Liu Han by himself now, the opponent's movement was quite erratic, and every time he moved was with a certain purpose, which made Lei Dongdo not dare to have the slightest fear To the effect, after losing the qualification to participate in the national team, Redondo regarded this Champions League final more as his own World Cup final. After all, the 98 World Cup final was also held on this venue.

The game went on for 10 minutes, neither side achieved anything, but Arsenal gradually took control of the rhythm of the game, their ball possession rate kept rising, while Real Madrid was on the defensive.

When the game progressed to No. 206 minutes, Redondo made his first tackle of the game, and the target was of course Liu Han.

After receiving the pass from Ljungberg, Liu Han stopped the ball with his right foot, followed by his left foot and slid over the ball at the same time, making a fake move intending to break through to the right.

Lei Dongdo was deceived by Liu Han's realistic fake movements, because he felt that Liu Han's entire center of gravity had shifted to the right side of his body, so Lei Dongdo did not hesitate to turn sideways, but Liu Han was at the limit of his body Position controls the center of gravity.

After deceiving Redondo, Liu Han pushed the ball outside with his left foot and broke through from the right side of Redondo's body.

Redondo, who realized that he had been swayed, did not dare to let Liu Han pass by like this, because it was less than ten meters away from the left side of the penalty area. Entering this range, Redondo knew that Liu Han had the ability to break Real Madrid's goal , so after turning around, Redondo tackled without hesitation.

However, Redondo's tackle failed to touch the football, and the ball was pushed away by Liu Han ahead of time. Redondo's foot tripped Liu Han who was about to break through without the slightest mercy, and Arsenal won a position. Good corner.

The referee Kirstensen stopped the game without the slightest hesitation, but he did not show Redondo a yellow card. Although it is understandable to get a yellow card for the foul just now, Kirstensen must consider the situation of this game. Fluency, once a yellow card is given to either party prematurely, it will destroy the rhythm of the game.

After Liu Han got up, he stood in front of the football that had been set up. He did his part. Although the position was a little bit off, it was very suitable for exerting power with his right foot. In the face of such a free kick, the Arsenal team did not take the second place except Liu Han. Everyone chooses.

The 19-year-old Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas did not hesitate to direct his teammates to stand on the wall. Facing Liu Han's free kick, the Real Madrid players did not dare to be careless. Altar first.

The Real Madrid wall blocked the near corner under the command of Casillas, who stood at the far end.

Kirstenson whistled, and Liu Han started to run towards the football. His acceleration was not fast, but he seemed to be walking slowly.

The free kick is the same as usual, but this time Liu Han made a small movement of pulling up when kicking the football, which made the rotation of the football after it flew quite strange.

As we all know, when the ball rotates at high speed in the air, the resistance of the air will cut the running line of the ball in the air, so that the original line of the ball will change. Such changes are predictable under ideal conditions, but in real situations, When a football is hit by a huge force, its shape often changes. This deformation will make the running line of the football change uncontrollably when it cuts the air at high speed, so sometimes there will be some very weird curve balls on the football field. .

Liu Han sent such a curved kick this time. When the ball just flew up, it flew towards the near corner of the goal. The high-speed flying football directly crossed the human wall and flew towards the near corner of Real Madrid's goal. Silas didn't dare to be careless and immediately made a save at the near corner.

But when Casillas threw it out, the movement of the ball changed strangely, and the football suddenly swung in the air and began to turn towards the other side of the goal.The lines of the football are connected like an oriental dragon twisting in the air.

Casillas stared dumbfounded in the air as the ball slid past the crossbar from the other side of his body and into the goal.

The Stade de France was silent for three seconds, and then huge cheers erupted. Everyone was shocked by such a goal with a strange arc.
