Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Brentford replaced Canos and Ivan Toni with Matthias Jensen and Forsch.

Frank's meaning was clear.

Forsch was left to counterattack, and Matthias and Chen Chen were ready to assist.

The team changed to 541.

But when attacking, there would be three people pushing forward, and the formation would be 4321 again.

After the substitution, Rotherham gritted their teeth and organized several attacks. But they were all pushed back by Brentford.

In the 69th minute, Michaela made a cross from the side, and Maas Sorensen headed the ball to the front court.

In the 73rd minute, Ladabo suddenly fell to the ground after breaking into the penalty area!

The referee decisively penalized diving!

Boos rang out at Brentford Stadium!

These were the boos from the visiting Rotherham fans.

But soon these boos were drowned out by the cheers of the Little Bees fans.

They agreed with the referee's decision!

In the 76th minute, Chen Chen dribbled into the penalty area and suddenly hit the penalty spot, but Yanelt, who followed him, missed the shot!

"Ugh!"

A sigh of regret rang out at the Brentford Stadium.

Yanelt, who missed the chance to kill, lifted his clothes to cover his head. He felt ashamed to face people.

Chen Chen came over and patted his shoulder, calling on the German midfielder to return to defense.

One minute later, Brentford had a chance to counterattack!

David Raya threw the ball to Forsh in the frontcourt with a strong hand!

Forsh, who was substituted in the second half, was very energetic.

He ran with the ball!

Seeing that Forsh was about to break into his own penalty area, Rotherham's right back Olosand, who was also substituted in the second half, chased back and reached out to pull Forsh!

Forsh wanted to continue dribbling forward, but Olosand was almost hanging on him. How could he run?

At this time, the referee blew the whistle.

He gave Olosande a yellow gem card.

The 22-year-old American defender said nothing. This was a tactical foul. He accepted the yellow card.

The referee gave Brentford a free kick.

Matthias Jensen came to the free kick spot with the ball.

At this time, Chen Chen came over, raised his hand to cover his mouth when he spoke, and looked at Matthias,

"Hey! Jensen, let me take the penalty this time!"

Matthias Jensen was very surprised. I didn't hear that you are also a good free kicker?

No, you kicked a volley in the last round, so it stands to reason that your free kick skills are also good.

Matthias fell into deep thought.

Then he looked at Frank on the sidelines. He wanted to ask the coach what he thought.

In fact, in a team, there are special penalty takers and set-piece takers.

Take Manchester City for example, their first and second penalty takers are Aguero and Jesus.

They are both forwards, after all, forwards have the best foot strength.

Set-piece players, including free kicks given after the opponent commits a foul, corner kicks, etc., are generally taken by De Bruyne and B Silva, and occasionally Gundogan will participate.

Set-pieces are rarely seen by defenders and forwards, because their passing accuracy is definitely not as good as that of midfielders.

There is another reason, such as when taking a corner kick, forwards and defenders need to find opportunities in the opponent's penalty area, such as Liverpool's Matip and Van Dijk.

Currently, Brentford's free kick taker is Matthias Jensen, followed by the injured Da Silva, and then Yanerte and Baptiste.

As for Chen Chen?

The order is relatively late.

Frank noticed Matthias's inquiring expression, and through body language, Frank quickly understood that Chen Chen wanted to take the free kick.

After thinking it over, Frank agreed.

So Matthias Jensen left the ball to Chen Chen, and then walked forward, he was going to break the wall.

Seeing Chen Chen take the free kick, Paul Vaughan on the sidelines had a glimmer of joy in his eyes!

God is open-minded!

Don't let Matthias kick, let Chen Chen, who has never kicked a free kick, kick?

Frank!

You are leading us by one goal now, not 10 goals!

Paul Vaughan quickly deployed his troops.

He asked Michael Smith and Ladapo not to participate in the free kick defense, and the two of them walked forward and waited for the pass from their backcourt area!

The adjustment of the positions of the players on the field of Rotherham attracted Frank's attention.

To be on the safe side, he asked Good and Pinnock to walk back and pay attention to the two forwards of the opponent who were ready to counterattack!

A single move can affect the whole body.

Since the two defenders went back and Maas Sorensen went forward to participate in the high ball competition in the penalty area, Rollslev could not break down the opponent's wall.

He needed to stand at the top of the arc as the first line of defense.

Now Brentford has fewer players who can participate in the attack.

But in contrast, the opponent's defensive strength was also weakened.

There are many shooting routes in front of Blackman. If he can hit the goal range, there will be no problem.

But free kicks are not for fun. This is a rare chance to score!

It cannot be wasted!

So, what should Chen Chen choose?

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that the free kick attack could begin.

Chen Chen took a deep breath, and then looked at the opponent's goal with a firm gaze.

Then he strode forward, his left arm swung with his body, and his left foot was the supporting foot, stepping on the left side of the football.

Swinging his right foot in a circle, the inside of his foot touched the ball, and kicked it to the area directly below the football!

Swinging his left arm greatly, applying a little arc of rotation to the left!

"Bang!"

The football flew into the air, passed the high-jumping wall of people, and quickly headed towards the gate guarded by Blackman!

Blackman quickly ran two steps to the right and made a save.

He expected the ball to hit his upper right corner!

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong!

Chen Chen's kick had a very fast inward arc. When it descended from the highest point, the ball cleverly turned a corner and hit the upper left corner of the goal guarded by Blackman!

Paul Vaughan on the sidelines widened his eyes!

Frank on the other side waved his hands excitedly!

Crescent Blade!

Beckham's Arc!

Except for the different number plates behind him, what is the difference between this way of hitting the ball and the part of the ball hitting and Beckham's!

Brentford Stadium instantly erupted in cheers like a tsunami!

Everyone was waving their arms vigorously to celebrate this amazing crescent blade!

Southgate was also surprised!

As the head coach of the national team, he certainly knew the former captain of the England national team, Beckham!

Southgate was no stranger to Beckham's famous stunt.

What was strange was that this powerful and extremely curved free kick was not made by Beckham, but by a young mixed-race player who was still unknown two rounds ago!

When Southgate coached England U21, Beckham had already retired.

It was a great regret for him that he could not coach Beckham.

But now, Beckham under Southgate appeared!

Without waiting for Benham to speak, Southgate made a prompt decision!

"Go go go! Mr. Matthew, take me to the locker room, I want to talk to this kid as soon as possible!"

Matthew Benham knew who Southgate was talking about.

He nodded and said,

"Sir, I am very happy!"
