The penalty rate is indeed very high, but it is by no means 100%.

Even Ronaldo, who has a very high penalty rate, is not 100% sure of hitting the penalty. In the Champions League semi-finals two years ago, Real Madrid played against Bayern Munich. Ronaldo, Ramos, and Kaka, three players with a very high penalty rate, all missed their penalties at the same time.

It can be seen that penalty kicks are not as simple as imagined.

Especially now that Real Madrid has not broken the drought, if they miss the penalty at this time, it will undoubtedly greatly hit the morale, and it will also be an encouragement and boost to the morale of the Bats.

But Li Chu did not reject Ronaldo's kindness.

Ronaldo has always been the first to take the penalty. He will only give up the penalty when his good teammates such as Benzema are in a goal drought.

There is another question. This time, giving the penalty opportunity to Li Chu is also Ronaldo's behavior of returning the favor. After all, Li Chu has sent a lot of wonderful passes to Ronaldo.

Li Chu came to the 12-yard area with the football in his arms and placed the ball on the white dot solemnly.

There is a trick to set-piece kicks. You have to put the valve core in the position you want to kick later, so that the ball will be more powerful.

The goalkeeper of Valencia stood on the goal line with his hands open, fooling around with the goal post he was guarding like an old hen, and kept talking trash.

"Boy, don't think you can score a penalty just because you cheated a penalty. Don't even think about getting past my five fingers, you weakling!"

Li Chu simply ignored the goalkeeper's chattering.

He also knew that the other party just wanted to interfere with him.

No matter what this goalkeeper said, Li Chu would not take it to heart. He now had only one goal, which was to get the ball into the net.

The goalkeeper of Valencia was nearly two meters tall, with a long arm span with his hands open. At this time, he stood on the goal line and jumped left and right, trying to put psychological pressure on Li Chu, so that Li Chu didn't know which side of the choice question to choose.

In the studio, He Wei was also watching this scene with worry.

"This is Li Chu's first penalty kick. Penalty kick technique is secondary, and psychological quality is the first. Even a skilled player like Roberto Baggio will miss a penalty kick.

Although this time it was Ronaldo's goodwill, if he missed the penalty kick at the Bernabeu, the penalty kick fans would still boo him... This reminds me of Pavon, the former youth training star of Real Madrid. That future superstar was destroyed after several mistakes and was forgotten by everyone..."

The audience in the barrage was not as sentimental as the poet He Wei. They just kept cheering for Li Chu. Although they also knew that Li Chu could not see at all, they still swiped the screen so hard that they could hardly see it clearly.

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Li Chu could take the penalty kick. Li Chu took a deep breath, and after a short run-up, he swung his thigh!

The goalkeeper of Valencia saw Li Chu's action and couldn't help but smile contemptuously at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, this kid is still too young!

There are two ways for goalkeepers to save a penalty. One is to make a judgment in advance, which is actually a guess, or even a guess. Then the ball can be saved.

For example, in the penalty shootout after the cup extra time, most goalkeepers use this method, because the coaching staff of the team has analyzed the habits of all the opposing players in taking penalties and written them into a secret book before the game, and handed them to the goalkeeper.

At this time, the goalkeeper chooses the direction of saving in advance according to everyone's habits.

The other is to wait until the moment the player kicks the ball before making a judgment, which tests the goalkeeper's prediction and experience.

At this time, the goalkeeper of Valencia did not know what Li Chu's habit of taking penalties was, and Li Chu was also taking a penalty for the first time, so he could only use the second method.

But when Li Chu took the penalty, he actually chose to swing his thigh, and it seemed that he was ready to shoot with the arch of his foot.

This is indeed more stable and less likely to hit the ball flying, but because it passes through the air, the time until it touches the ball is slightly longer than other shooting methods.

It also gives the goalkeeper more time to react.

At the same time, the force of the arch of the foot will be smaller, so it is easier to be saved by a goalkeeper with accurate judgment.

Besides, the goalkeeper chooses the direction according to the direction of the toe of the supporting leg of the penalty player.

Generally speaking, the direction of the toe of the supporting leg is the direction in which the football is shot.

Of course, there are some players with very superb skills who will use the ankle to turn at the moment of touching the ball to make changes and deceive the goalkeeper.

However, the goalkeeper of Valencia did not think that the young player of Yan country in front of him would do this for the first time to take a penalty kick. After all, this is also a relatively difficult skill in actual combat. If it backfires, it will become a stain on his life.

So the goalkeeper of Valencia did not hesitate at all,Seeing the direction of Li Chu's supporting leg toe, he immediately kicked his left foot hard without hesitation and rushed to the right side of the goal.

"The goalkeeper made a prediction in advance!" He Wei also shouted in the studio. Like all the fans, he was worried at this moment.

However, when the goalkeeper of Valencia was in the air, he saw that although Li Chu swung his legs very high, he raised them high but gently dropped them. The instep cut under the football, just like using a spoon to scoop a spoon of ice cream in summer.

The football slowly fell to the middle.

Spoon penalty!

The atmosphere of the entire Bernabeu was instantly ignited.

A young player, a player who took a penalty for the first time, was so big-hearted. He played a trick on the experienced goalkeeper!

Benzema and Ronaldo had planned to rush into the penalty area as soon as possible, so that if Li Chu's penalty was saved, they could still make a supplementary shot.

As a result, they saw Li Chu playing a spoon penalty kick, so they turned a corner and rushed towards Li Chu. Four big hands touched Li Chu's head, making Li Chu's hairstyle look like a chicken coop.

"GOAL!!!"

He Wei in the Chongyang TV studio let out a long roar!

"I thought Li Chu actually chose a spoon penalty kick! It's really amazing, he really deserves to be a young old player!"

The young old player was originally used to describe Manchester City's famous player Sun Jihai, but He Wei used it on Li Chu at this time, and no one felt it was a bit out of place.

Li Chu deserves the title of a young old player!

There is no trace of the immaturity of a young player in him!

"I was so excited to see Li Chu actually take a spoon penalty! How strong must his mental quality be to play such a trick in front of the home fans!"

"I was in front of the TV, my heart couldn't take it anymore. I thought Li Chu missed the kick, but it turned out to be a spoon penalty!"

"No problem, the young player was too nervous when he took the penalty for the first time, and accidentally missed the kick, which led to a goal."

"I don't think Ronaldo has ever taken a spoon penalty."

Chapter 160 Easily defeat the Bats

The fans in the barrage were all excited. They thought that the penalty was mediocre, and except for the fans of the home team, the neutral fans would not feel any excitement at all.

I didn't expect Li Chu to play such a dramatic penalty.

Li Chu scored a penalty and broke Valencia's turtle formation, and Valencia also had one player sent off.

This time, there was no power to fight back.

And after taking the lead.

Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema all played more easily and were not as impatient as before.

In the injury time of the first half, Benzema received a wonderful long pass from Li Chu and headed the ball, but the Valencia goalkeeper saved it. Ronaldo cleverly scored the goal and made it 2:0.

The second half can be said to be garbage time.

After the change of sides, Zidane replaced Bale with James Rodriguez.

Replaced Modric with Isco.

But even so, Real Madrid still had no less firepower. Li Chu grabbed the second penalty kick at the front of the penalty area. He did not choose to shoot himself, but sent a wonderful pass to Ronaldo with a straight pass.

Ronaldo shot with his left foot into the far corner of the goal, 3:0.

This can be regarded as Li Chu's reward for Ronaldo's goodwill in giving up the penalty kick in the first half.

When the game came to the 70th minute, Zidane chose to replace Li Chu.

So that Li Chu could accept the applause of the home fans.

The fans cheered and gave thunderous applause to Li Chu who brought them joy and pleasure.

Several fanatical female fans shouted at Li Chu, but they were too far away, so Li Chu could not hear them and could only wave and smile.

Then he turned around and asked Nacho who was sitting on the bench: "What are they talking about?"

"They said they want to give birth to a baby for you."

Li Chu couldn't help but have a black line on his face. As a boy, he had to protect himself when he went out.

Valencia was just a small obstacle for Real Madrid on the road to winning the league championship, not worth mentioning at all.

The main thing was to prepare for the second round of the Champions League against Chelsea four days later.

Although Real Madrid had won the first round 4:1 and won the other two teams in the group stage, it had an absolute advantage in this group.

But Zidane knows that Mourinho has been in the football world for more than ten years and is definitely not an ordinary person. He has the top-level ability to read the game, and is best at targeting tactics. Making others uncomfortable is Mourinho's special skill.

Last time, Mourinho suffered a loss from Li Chu, which led to his team losing by a big score of 1:4. At the press conference after the game, he was veryI must be a little angry.

So Mourinho will definitely hold back in the second round and knock Real Madrid to the ground with one force.

After all, whoever can qualify from the first place in the group can have a relatively good schedule.

The second place will have to face the first place in other groups.

Although it is inevitable to face various strong teams to win the Champions League, why not save some energy and win the championship economically?

Because Real Madrid won by a large score before, and it was at Stamford Bridge.

You know, Chelsea's defense this season can be said to be the best in the Premier League. It has been the team with the fewest goals conceded so far, but Real Madrid scored four goals in one game.

So when they returned to the home court, the media was also optimistic that Real Madrid would take all three points at home.

For a while, all the media focused on the battle between Real Madrid and Chelsea. In comparison, the games in other groups seemed a little ignored.

This is mainly because Real Madrid itself is one of the best football clubs in the world, and Chelsea's head coach Mourinho is a very popular coach.

The media have mastered the traffic code.

Various analyses are overwhelming, and head coach Zidane can even know the changes of Chelsea in this period without scouts.

After the last game, Cech was put into the cold palace and replaced by Belgian goalkeeper Courtois.

Torres, who is known as the freckles, is said to join AC Milan on loan in the next window.

Currently, Chelsea's main striker has been replaced by Diego Costa, who is known as the beauty of the world.

Diego Costa, a Brazilian who played street football, is an aggressive center forward with a completely different style from Torres.

It can be said that there are almost no central defenders who can control Diego Costa in the Premier League. Generally speaking, the central defenders play dirty tricks on the strikers, but when it comes to Diego Costa, it's the other way around.

In this game, Ramos was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, and Pepe was a little uncomfortable with his flexor muscles and could not play, so the defense line could only use Varane and Coentrao as partners.

Whether this line of defense can withstand the impact of Diego Costa, a beautiful man, is still unknown.

On the front line, Bale's back muscles had some problems again. What made Zidane very headache was that it was said that this was Bale's old injury caused by playing too much golf.

In the midfield, Modric can play without a doubt. The Croatian is like an iron man.

But the German superstar Toni Kroos, who just joined, seems to have some problems with the left thigh adductor muscle that was torn last season.

So although Real Madrid can be said to be resting at the Bernabeu, Zidane can only fight with a disability, and it is really hard to say who will win.

Before the press conference, the media were almost all optimistic about Real Madrid. Only the British media, Sky Sports, BBC, The Times, The Guardian, and The Sun were optimistic about Chelsea's redemption.

Of course, you can ignore The Sun.

After all, Chelsea is currently making great strides in the Premier League, leaving no chance for other competitors.

During this period, Mourinho also demonstrated his superb coaching skills, quickly adjusting Chelsea's status, and did not affect the league's status because of a disastrous defeat in the Champions League.

However, when Zidane held a press conference, he bluntly told the media that Real Madrid is currently facing a wave of injuries and suspensions.

The media was also shocked by this news.

The wind direction has changed.

Whether what Zidane said is true or a smokescreen, the media also followed up and gave various interpretations.

The head coach is strategizing, while Li Chu is practicing hard.

Although he has now received initial recognition from Real Madrid fans, he has not relaxed himself at all, and is still thinking about going further.

Although three group matches have been played and Real Madrid has got 9 points as they wished, Li Chu only got 10 points in the Champions League, 5 points short of the 15 points required for the draw.

Chapter 161: Tricks

Because in the last game, coach Zidane made rotations and Li Chu didn't get a chance to play. Although he was eager to play, he didn't dare to contradict the coach at will.

So Li Chu was holding back in this game, wanting to get these precious 5 points so that he could draw powerful skills. Who cares if it's Chelsea or Mourinho? Who cares.

On the day of the Champions League game, Li Chu came to the stadium early from the dormitory. He originally planned to go directly to the locker room to change clothes and go to the stadium to warm up, but he saw the waiting fans...There was a group of Asians with black hair and white skin.

When they saw Li Chu, they raised the small national flags in their hands and shouted: "Li Chu, fans all over the country support you!"

Li Chu was happy when he heard it. He didn't expect that fans from Yan country would come to the Bernabeu to support him, so he walked over to sign autographs for everyone, and of course he took photos with everyone.

Li Chu's handwriting is average. He became famous too quickly and didn't have time to practice, but it's harder for others to imitate it.

As Li Chu was writing, he suddenly saw a five-star red flag appear in front of him, and quickly put away his pen.

"You can't do that. You can sign anywhere, but you can't write on the national flag, understand? And the small national flags in your hands, remember to take them away after the game. Don't throw them on the court and let others step on them."

The girl holding the national flag stuck out her tongue and quickly corrected her mistake. After Li Chu walked away, she said to her girlfriend: "Wow, he's so fierce, but so cool! He looks even more handsome up close!"

"Tsk, he's not fierce, he's just telling you the truth. The domestic media always say that these players are big words. Why do I think Li Chu is polite and knows these things? He's not that old..."

The reporter from Yan country next to him also held a recorder and faithfully recorded what he just saw. It turns out that not all the players in our country are those with big gold chains and small barbecues.

Li Chu changed his clothes in the locker room and went to the stadium to warm up. James Rodriguez, who will start today, said to Li Chu: "Chelsea changed a goalkeeper today. I heard he is very powerful."

Li Chu took a look and saw that the goalkeeper on the Chelsea side was a tall young man who looked a little silly.

Li Chu took a look and felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him on the streets of Madrid before. At that time, the goalkeeper seemed to be with a beautiful woman.

"Who cares? Even Buffon would lose the ball. How good can he be? Unless he is not from Earth."

"Ha, you are so optimistic! By the way, Anna wants your autographed photo. When can you arrange it?"

Anna is James Rodriguez's sister. Li Chu certainly won't refuse his teammates, so he said: "That's anytime, anywhere."

"Then come to my house during the rest week. Let's have a barbecue in the backyard together."

"Uh..."

Li Chu hesitated when he heard this.

Although it is quite pleasant to get along with James Rodriguez at ordinary times. James Rodriguez has a kind of passion and unrestrainedness that is unique to South Americans, and with his sunny and handsome smile, it is difficult for people to refuse him.

But Li Chu didn't want to eat at all, what barbecue.

If he wanted to eat, he would wait until he retired to eat enough. Now Li Chu just wanted to challenge one crown after another and challenge one record after another.

Those who have cheats will be blamed if they don't cherish them.

"Come on, Marcelo and Hernandez are here too."

"Let's talk about it later, I'm not used to eating barbecue..."

As he was talking, a ball suddenly flew over. Li Chu was talking to James Rodriguez, and he didn't have eyes behind his head.

The ball hit Li Chu's head hard.

You know, on the football field, some people with hard feet will feel uncomfortable if a ball hits them, let alone hitting them on the head? Li Chu fell to the ground in an instant.

James Rodriguez looked and saw Diego Costa not far away. There was no need to ask, this ball was kicked by the beautiful face.

"What do you mean?"

Diego Costa spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"My footwork is not good enough."

He walked over carelessly and patted Li Chu who was lying on the ground.

"Sorry, brother. Don't lie down. The game hasn't started yet!"

Seeing that there seemed to be a conflict here, Coentrao, Ronaldo and others rushed over at the first time.

Although Diego Costa has always been innocent, this guy has played football in Spain for a long time. Especially for Real Madrid's city rival Atletico Madrid for a long time.

His style of play is dirty.

Even if Diego Costa didn't do it on purpose, everyone present thought he did it on purpose.

Coentrao just pushed Diego Costa, and he lay on the ground as if he had been shot.

"What? You want to bully people, right?"

At this time, Li Chu touched the back of his head and slowly stood up from the grass.

Ronaldo and others surrounded Li Chu and asked with concern.

"How is it? If there is any problem, we will never let that guy off."

Although Li Chu was a little dizzy, he quickly analyzed the current situation. Even if Diego Costa kicked the ball intentionally, if he insisted that he kicked it wrong, you couldn't hold him accountable.

But if there is a conflict now, someone on the Real Madrid side took action.If so, someone will probably be punished and can't play.

"I'm fine now. If there is anything, we'll see on the court. Don't get into conflict and don't give people with ulterior motives a chance to make trouble."

"It's good that you're fine."

C Ronaldo and others said a few more harsh words to Diego Costa, and the storm was temporarily calmed down.

Mourinho, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw that there was no conflict as he expected, and he couldn't help but think about it. The focus of his eyes was on Li Chu.

"This kid doesn't look like a young man."

After the warm-up, Li Chu and his teammates returned to the locker room one after another, changed into their game uniforms and returned to the court.

Compared with the last game, both sides had considerable adjustments in personnel.

Casillas did not serve as goalkeeper in this game, but sat on the bench and was replaced by Navas.

Zidane knew that Mourinho was best at fast defensive counterattacks. With just a few precise passes, he could hit the ball directly from the backcourt to his own penalty area.

The key player of this Chelsea team is Fabregas, who just joined Chelsea from Barcelona. He is a very creative player.

At the same time, Oscar, the Brazilian international on the left, is also very creative. They both have the ability to pass the ball directly through the Real Madrid defense.

So Zidane had to replace Navas, who has better goal-line skills, more decisive attacks, and faster reactions.

Chapter 162 Li Chu, who was snatched by three people

The Costa Rican goalkeeper has basically no shortcomings except for high-altitude balls and passing. In particular, his basic skills are extremely solid, and you will never see him with butter hands in the game.

This is also the confidence of Real Madrid to ensure that the goal is not lost after the loss of two top defenders Ramos and Pepe.

At right back, Zidane chose to start Arbeloa, who is basically a marginal player, because Carvajal had a little discomfort in his hamstring before the game.

Nacho is a jack of all trades, so it is more flexible to put him on the bench.

The left side is naturally unplayable by the shaggy-haired Marcelo Rey. He and Ronaldo have already developed a chemical reaction. This game will also test Ivanovic, who guards the right side of Chelsea.

The midfield is led by Li Chu, Modric and James Rodriguez.

The three forwards from left to right are Ronaldo, Benzemao and Isco.

Compared with the last game, half of the personnel have been replaced.

Chelsea is similar. They also changed the goalkeeper and forward, and also made adjustments in the midfield and defense.

The big leak David Luiz was taken down.

Terry and Cahill partnered.

The left back is the Spaniard, Azpilicueta.

In front of them is Matic, a Serbian who Mourinho dug from Benfica. He also replaced Ramirez's position.

The other two midfielders are Oscar and Fabregas.

Belgian Yang Kun occupied the left side, and Hazard's outstanding performance this season made Schurrle have no chance to play.

On the other side, Mourinho sent out Egyptian Messi and Salah.

The lineup was also changed drastically.

The Champions League game is good to watch, especially this is a strong dialogue, Mars hits the Earth, but it is a bit unfriendly to the audience of Yan Country, starting at 2:45 a.m. Yan Country time.

But let's not talk about the fact that Real Madrid itself has many fans in Yan Country. Just Li Chu's joining and outstanding performance also made this game attract much attention in Yan Country, which is thousands of miles away.

He Wei in the studio of Chongyang TV was told that the ratings of this game were rising steadily. You must know that there was network diversion at this time.

The ratings of TV broadcasts have long been not as good as before, but the popularity of this game is still so high. There is no doubt that most of the audiences in front of the screen are here for Li Chu.

This game was not only explained by He Wei alone, but also invited the Tahitian football king Shi to coach.

"Coach Shi, now the starting lineups of both teams are out, what do you think of this game?"

Coach Shi paused for a moment: "Logically speaking, from the lineup point of view, Chelsea has an upward momentum. On the other hand, Real Madrid, although it has been advancing all the way, is now full of wounded soldiers and has reached the point of decline..."

"Coach Shi means that you are more optimistic that Chelsea can take the initiative in this game and then win the game?"

"Although many fans watching this game may not be happy to hear it, this is the fact. Especially many friends who watched this game because of Li Chucai, I can only say that it is very likely that you will be disappointed.

In this game, Mourinho arranged Matic as a single defensive midfielder because the Serbian player is extremely good at choosing positions in terms of defense, and also has a very strong ability to organize the midfield. With him, it will be difficult for Li Chu to perform well in this game.

Coach Shi talked eloquently, with the style of an expert.

The audience watching in front of the screen were not happy, and sent out barrages.

"Why is a head coach who has been fired pretending to be a big shot here? As long as Real Madrid has Ronaldo and Li Chu, they will definitely win!"

"Who is Matic? I have never heard of him."

"Do experts always have to show their uniqueness in order to highlight their outstanding style?"

"I can't wait to see Li Chu slap him in the face."

There are also different voices.

"I support Coach Shi. Asian players have a physical weakness. Matic is so tall and powerful, and Li Chu is like a bean sprout. He hasn't grown up yet. It's probably difficult! "

Coach Shi also couldn't see the comments, but even if he saw them, he wouldn't care about the fans' opinions and would continue to talk.

"There's another factor. I just received a rumor that before the game started, Li Chu was hit by Diego Costa with the ball while warming up on the court, which may have caused his unstable performance in this game."

The comments were all over the place.

"I know Diego Costa! He's a dirty guy! It looks like something he could do!"

"I'm a fan of Che. If this is true, I'll turn from a fan to a passerby, and from a passerby to a hater, and I'll be a hater for life!"

"He even had to walk outside the upper plate. Could it be Mourinho's order? To win, the wooden bird will do anything! "

At the Bernabeu, the home stadium of Real Madrid, the game officially started with the referee's whistle.

The football was passed several times and came to Li Chu's feet.

It has to be said that James Rodriguez is a little insufficient in this position. Although he is very good with the ball, his ability without the ball is too poor, and he rarely runs.

Li Chu looked up.

James Rodriguez was stared at closely by Matic.

So Li Chu pretended to pass the ball, but pretended to pass the ball directly, and passed by Fabresias who came up to press.

He went straight to Matic's defense.

Matic saw Li Chu coming with the ball, and immediately let go of James Rodriguez and got stuck in Li Chu's path.

Sure enough, this Serbian big man didn't play football by strength, but by brain. He made Li Chu very uncomfortable when he stood there.

If he went around, it would be They will be forced to go to the side, and the threat will be greatly reduced.

If you want to dribble past Matic, you have to face Matic's frontal defense. This kind of big defensive player is strong in frontal defense, not to mention that Fabregas and Oscar are chasing him relentlessly behind Li Chu.

There was originally a way to crack it. Li Chu rushed towards Matic, just to lure Matic over. As long as James Rodriguez moved, Li Chu would have a gap when passing the ball.

But James Rodriguez stood still, as if waiting for Li Chu to send the ball to his feet.

But that position is too close to the defensive player, and passing it will be a 50-50 knife mountain ball.

If Toni Kroos and Modric were in this position, they would have already fought with Li Chu in various ways.

"Oh no, Li Chu is surrounded by three Chelsea players! Even Messi may not be able to dribble past every time! "He Wei said worriedly.

"This is Li Chu's limitation. He always wants to do a Marseille turn, but he doesn't know that once he faces the joint stranglehold of the defensive players and his teammates don't know how to run, he will be at a loss." Coach Shi commented.

Oscar, who was sprinting from behind, had stretched out his legs to poke the football under Li Chu's feet.

And Fabregas seemed to be planning to take action.

At this time, Li Chu suddenly knocked the ball behind his supporting leg, made a Cruyff turn, and Oscar missed it. Then he leaned on Fabregas and pulled the ball with the inside of his foot, pulling a half arc and facing the attack direction again.

He poked the ball before Matic who rushed over, penetrated Matic's small door, and then passed by Matic like a loach.

At this time, Oscar turned two circles and couldn't find where the ball was.
