Chapter 23: Picking Up the Leak
In the next game, the Blue River team had another stormy impact on the Red Bull defense, and the Red Bulls were like a small boat adrift in the sea, as if they could capsize at any time.
In particular, Blue River No. 11 Wei Xing's sharp breakthrough on the left side and Zhou Jun's precise passing dispatch put the Red Bulls' defense in jeopardy.
This time, Wei Xing broke through on the left and then dribbled horizontally, and the ball grazed the goal and slid out.
The goalkeeper made a long pass to the ball, and Bai Yang got the football, and then passed it directly to Liu Haoxuan. Liu Haoxuan took the ball straight to the backfield of the Blue River team, and in the face of the left fullback who was standing in the front position, Liu Haoxuan simply and rudely went straight forward, and then forcibly overtook him.
No matter how strong the left-back defensive ability is, he is helpless in the face of this unreasonable method of speeding up, so he can only watch Liu Haoxuan cross himself and rush towards the bottom line to chase after him.
Liu Haoxuan, who got the football, saw that the striker on his side had not followed, so he found Li Hongkai again.
Facing Li Hongkai in front of him, Liu Haoxuan leaned back to the sideline, then dialed the ball to his right side, made a 180-degree turn of his body to the bottom line, made a reverse step with his left foot, tapped the football with his right foot on the left side, and then quickly turned the ball in the other direction.
It is the signature passing action of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, and the sideline step changes to pass!
Liu Haoxuan's movements were skillful and fast, and Li Hongkai was caught off guard by Liu Haoxuan's shake, and his body stopped directly in place.
The people of Lanhe didn't expect their captain to be passed so easily this time, and they didn't expect to make up for Li Hongkai's position for a while. Liu Haoxuan, who passed Li Hongkai, didn't wait for the next defender to catch up, and shot directly from the gap.
Because Liu Haoxuan shot with his feet very easily, he deliberately aimed at the dead corner of the goal. The goalkeeper of Blue River was shocked, and after opening for so long, the Red Bulls did not have any decent shots on goal, and a sudden kick caught him off guard.
Fortunately, Blue River's goalkeeper was tall and long-handed, and in desperation, he stretched his body to the extreme, and barely touched the ball with his fingertips. The ball was flicked over the crossbar.
Corner kick!
Although he failed to score, Liu Haoxuan won the confrontation with Li Hongkai this time!
The Red Bull team who won the corner kick was punished by Poplar, and Huang Gaolei and a Red Bull central defender ran into the box to fight for a corner. Li Hongkai, who made a mistake just now, was very conscientious and clinged to them for defense.
After the corner kick was taken, Poplar went directly to Huang Gaolei as before. Huang Gaolei, who was originally tall and strong, was defended by the experienced Li Hongkai and had no temper at all, and the football was nodded by Li Hongkai, who jumped high, to a teammate next to him. Han Yu, who was not far away, saw the latter step and forced up, and that person was shocked, panicked, and hurriedly passed the ball to another teammate in the distance.
In a panic, the ball was passed crookedly and diagonally, and the ball was very slow. Liu Haoxuan, who was cruising on the periphery of the penalty area, was overjoyed, he had nothing to do with the corner kick, but he didn't expect that this time the pie in the sky would fall on his head, and the football that was smashed was rolling towards him, and he actually picked up a leak.
Liu Haoxuan, who intercepted the football halfway, took two quick steps in the face of the football, did not stop the ball, and shot directly with his feet. Although Liu Haoxuan rarely shoots from a distance, he also knows a little, and he thinks it should be similar to passing, but the position of the touch is different. I saw that the soles of his feet were tight, his toes were pressed down, and the inside of his foot hit the middle and lower part of the football hard.
"Peng!"
With the dull sound of touching the ball, the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball. No matter how fast the goalkeeper reacted this time, he couldn't touch the ball. The ball hangs in the upper right corner of the goal at a height of 10 centimeters of the goalkeeper's extended arm.
"Beep!"
The referee said the goal was valid and Red Bull took the lead.
"The ball is in!"
"Xiao Liu, it's really good!"
"This shot is so handsome, Beckham possessed you!"
Seeing that the goal was finally scored after holding on for so long, everyone in the Red Bull team was extremely excited and cheered loudly. A few people ran to Liu Haoxuan, rubbed his hair affectionately, and celebrated him happily.
Liu Haoxuan, who scored the goal, was also very excited, this was his first long-range goal, and it was a world wave, which made him experience a different kind of pleasure like a hundred steps through the Yang, which made him more excited, enthusiastic, and more hearty.
Blake, who was sitting in the stands, nodded slightly after watching it, it seems that Liu Haoxuan will be asked to strengthen long-range shooting training in the future, and the position he runs will often require this technique.
The next game was teed off by the Blue River team. At this time, 30 minutes had passed in the game, and after so long of onslaught, the Blue River team not only did not score, but was also taken the lead by the Red Bull team, and the people of the Blue River were very frustrated, compared to the Red Bulls, who were more excited as if they had played a doping game.
Due to concerns about the Red Bulls' counterattack, the next attack of the Blue River looked a little weak. However, the people of the Red Bull team are getting bigger and more confident, as if they have found the backbone, and they directly look for Liu Haoxuan or Poplar after breaking the ball.
Liu Haoxuan is like Li Hongkai today, once he gets the ball, he goes directly to the bottom line, all kinds of passing actions, hurricane, crossing, shooting, and giving full play to the advantages of the young body and technical speed.
At the beginning, Li Hongkai could successfully defend against Liu Haoxuan a few times, but Liu Haoxuan seemed to think that he was a soft bone, and he rushed himself over and over again, and after a few times, Li Hongkai's weakness of not being old enough leaked out. With a few minutes left in the first half, Li Hongkai was already exhausted and out of breath, and the defense was also understaffed. If it weren't for the fact that their partner and their own midfielders often run back to make up for themselves, maybe the Red Bulls might have scored another goal this time and led by two goals.
After Liu Haoxuan took the ball again and faced the left fullback of Blue River, Liu Haoxuan jumped with his right foot, moved to the front of the ball with his left foot, knocked the ball lightly with his right heel, and the ball moved forward from the back of his left foot, and then Liu Haoxuan ran a few steps and wiped him over. This right heel knock is one of the most commonly used passing skills by Liu Haoxuan, and he has been very proficient when he has not met Blake before. Later, after Blake watched it, Blake, who doesn't often praise people, also praised it, saying that this action can give full play to Liu Haoxuan's advantages of fast speed and good ball sense, and Liu Haoxuan's explosiveness is very strong, and he can give full play to his unexpected characteristics.
Liu Haoxuan, who passed this defender, did not run to the bottom line again this time, but directly dribbled horizontally to the middle. The back of the Blue River team saw that Liu Haoxuan was fierce during this time, and Li Hongkai couldn't keep up, so he didn't insert an assist these times and stayed in the backcourt to defend full-time.
Seeing that Liu Haoxuan had once again passed the left back on his side, he immediately went up to defend Liu Haoxuan. Liu Haoxuan's expression was calm, his upper body swayed, and his legs began to swing rapidly, making the movement of pedaling a bicycle.
If you pay attention to the sidelines at this time, I don't know when Blake has taken out a camera to record the video of the game.
