Iron Man on the pitch

Li Ling rushed into the penalty area at high speed, jumped up gently, held his chest and lowered his head, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and his forehead was on the falling football.

With a bang, the football changed its flight trajectory and rushed straight towards the goal.

Porto goalkeeper Helton just turned around and the football was already spinning in the net.

"Goal!!!!" Alfonso Pereira beat his chest hard, "When the first half was 44 minutes, Sporting Lisbon, after a series of cooperation, Miguel Veroso headed the ball, Li Ling, who was inserted in the back, pushed the football into the Porto goal! 2:1, Sporting Lisbon leads again! ”

"Hey, have you noticed that Li Ling's header's force posture is quite standard. It seems that he has been practicing for a long time, but this is just his first header in the official game." Juan Xi Erva flipped the notebook in his hand, showing the professionalism of a data expert.

"Is that true?" Alfonso Pereira thought for a while and found that the partner's data was indeed correct. "This is a good thing. Li Ling has developed his heading ability now. He will make his opponent unable to defend on the court. ”

Juan Silva looked at Li Ling, who was full of energy on the screen surrounded by his teammates, and couldn't help but sigh: "I feel that Li Ling will lead the team to achieve great results this season."

"That's of course, Li Ling is our new Ronaldo." Alfonso Pereira subconsciously took over the words, and then he looked at his partner who was smiling and silent, and suddenly realized something, "You shouldn't, Do you think Li Ling can help the team win the Champions League?”

"Even Porto is OK, why can't we?" Juan Silva's expression on her face was very fanatical.

Alfonso Pereira was shocked. My commentator who focuses on emotional flow is not doing well yet. Why did your commentator who focuses on data flow start to go crazy?

Fortunately, the referee's whistle blew away brought their attention back to the game.

Unfortunately, including stoppage time, there were only 5 minutes left in the first half. The players of the two teams on the court seemed a little tired and were lazy in their movements. So the game was like this, and the halftime break was entered in a tepid atmosphere.

"Good job, guys!"

Sporting Lisbon players entered the locker room one by one with the encouragement of Paul Bento at the door of the locker room.

The goal conceding in the first half was a factor of luck, and Paul Bento couldn't say anything. No matter how good the team was, it could not guarantee that they could defend every set piece well, not to mention that the forwards of Porto were also very good.

Fortunately, the midfielders are becoming more and more skilled in cooperation, and they perform well on both offense and defense. Especially Li Ling, who had high expectations, scored two goals to give the team a lead twice.

Seeing the players drinking water and wiping sweat, and having almost had enough rest, Paul Bento began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

"They attacked too fiercely in the first half. At the beginning of the second half, they will definitely give up the ball, shrink the formation, and let us attack." Paul Bento pointed at the tactical board, "The time has come to test us."

"With the performance of last season as a reference, other teams will take more defensive positions when facing us, and the ability to break intensive defense is the key to how far we can go this season."

"So, when the opponent contracted his defense in the second half," Paul Bento glanced at his players and paused, "we must strengthen long shots at the front of the penalty area."

There is no way, it’s really hard to cook without rice, and there is no easy center forward in the team. Ledesson, who won the Portuguese Golden Boots in a few seasons, has grown older and has a diligent and has a decline in strength. Moreover, his height is average and his weight is too light, so it is difficult to be in the position. Take on the responsibility of the center in the battle.

When Sporting Lisbon faces intensive defense, Ledesson is often submerged in the opponent's long lineup placed in the penalty area. The first half of the competition was because the opponent's formation was moved and dispersed, so he had the opportunity to pass the ball. Otherwise, according to the tactical arrangement, he would not have taken a high ball to find Ledesson.

But in the second half, facing the iron wall that Porto would definitely put on, Paul Bento could only pin his hopes on the long shots of Li Ling and Joao Moutinho.

Although Paul Bento also pushed Li Ling to the front line with one move, and then replaced another substitute forward Postigga's three forwards to fight for life, he is ahead now and there is no need to do so.

Soon, the break ended and the second half began.

Paul Bento looked at the players who were standing on the court with some worries, but when he saw the figure with No. 7 printed behind him, he felt full of confidence in the second half.

Li Ling scored a header today, which was beyond his expectations, and he didn't do much in his usual training.Seeing that Li Ling deliberately used a header, but this goal made him realize that Li Ling had already practiced his header skills silently. However, he did not usually design a header tactic for Li Ling, so during the halftime break, he did not make any special arrangements and left it to Li Ling for his own performance.

The header in the first half was originally designed to allow Miguel Veroso to point the ball to the ground, and then Ledesson or Li Ling who was inserted into the ball completed the shot. But unexpectedly, in actual combat, Miguel Veroso pushed the ball into a half-high ball in the confrontation, but unexpectedly forced Li Ling to head the ball.

"You guy hides it so hard!" Paul Bento made a decision in his heart, preparing to design a header tactic for Li Ling after he returns. If Li Ling hadn't played as a front midfielder, he would have been planning to try whether he could be transferred to the center.

At this time, Li Ling on the field didn't know that he was almost going to play as a center forward.

During the halftime break, Li Ling was also surprised by the header he scored in the first half. He has indeed not practiced heading more, and his heading skills are limited to ordinary passes and receiving. Li Ling has not thought about using heading as a conventional weapon. Because I haven't understood the skills under my feet, I can't be too ambitious. Since integrating Zidane's football talent, Li Ling always feels that when his feet touch the football, some movements can be done subconsciously.

But that is Zidane's football talent after all, and it's not just about his feet.

At the 1998 World Cup, Zidane headed two goals to help the French team win the Hercules Cup. Of course, at the 2006 World Cup, the fact that Matrazi was defeated by a header should have nothing to do with football talent.

Li Ling happened to have not practiced heading skills specifically before, or Li Ling's heading skills were too weak, so his talent was not affected by habits. When he received the half-high ball in the first half, he subconsciously adjusted his posture. , push the football into the goal.

"It just so happens that the foot skills have improved to a bottleneck now. I haven't made any progress in the past week. It's time to practice some headers."
