It's not uncommon for a free-kick to go straight to the goal, even if it comes at an early time 'within three minutes'.

But if you look at it from several other aspects, Li Jingyuan's goal can be called magical.

First of all, the person who took the free kick was the goalkeeper Li Jingyuan, and the special identity of the goalkeeper gave the ball a different kind of brilliance.

Under normal circumstances, except for penalty shootouts, goalkeepers are basically not likely to score goals. There may be some goalkeepers who will also score penalties in regular matches, but that is still a rare case.

Maybe it's because the winner is already scored, and whether you score or not will not affect the result, or if you want to celebrate the goalkeeper's birthday, there must be some special reasons why the goalkeeper is likely to get a shot in 90 minutes of play.

The first free-kick opportunity after the opening kick was in the hands of the goalkeeper, which is definitely not many cases in the history of football, except for Lee Kyung-won, the legendary goalkeeper Chilavert has received this treatment.

Secondly, the shot was shot forty-five meters away from the goal, which is also special.

It's hard enough to score from that distance, and David Beckham once scored a stunning lob from half-time, but at the end of the day, that's what happens in athletic play.

In sports battles, the goalkeeper may occasionally wander, or there may be a small mistake in the front position, which will produce some more exciting hanging shots. But that doesn't happen when it's a set-piece, and the goalkeeper doesn't get distracted or misposition.

In other words, in sports warfare, it may be possible to seize the goalkeeper's mistake and 'blind' to score one or two hanging shots from a distance of 45 meters, but in positional warfare, it is impossible to 'blind' again, only by virtue of excellent strength. to be able to score.

Except for Li Jingyuan, it is not that no one can score a free kick at this distance, after all, there are so many free kick masters in the world, and the strength of others is not worse than him.

But then again. Those people are not goalkeepers, which makes Li Jingyuan's goal even more special.

There is also the last point, which is also the most surprising. That's the ball speed.

Li Jingyuan kicked this free throw, and the flight speed reached an exaggerated 188 kilometers per hour. That's one of the fastest speeds in the history of football.

In the 2002 World Cup, in Brazil's match against the Chinese team, Carlos broke the ball of Jiangjin's ten fingers, and the speed was only 149 kilometers per hour. This is a lot slower than Lee Kyung-won's goal.

Of course, it wasn't uncommon for this goal to be scored at a faster pace. For example, in statistics, in the 1990 World Cup warm-up match, Mateus once kicked a free kick of 210 kilometers per hour, and in December 06, a free kick with a speed of 222 kilometers per hour was also born in La Liga, and the main penalty was Ronnie, a Brazilian player who played for Sporting Lisbon.

Mateus and Ronnie both scored faster than Lee Kyung-won, but they were not as exciting as Lee Kyung-won's.

Ronnie's penalty spot was just 16 metres from goal. Mateus' goal was never as far as 45 yards. So even if the ball speed is higher than Li Jingyuan's kick, in terms of visual effects, it is still not as 'good-looking' as Li Jingyuan's goal.

It was less than three minutes into the opening. The distance is forty-five meters, the flight speed is one hundred and eighty-eight per hour, the flight time is less than one second, the person who takes the penalty is still a goalkeeper, so many special factors are added together, Li Jingyuan's goal can only be described as magical or fantastic.

Tens of thousands of spectators in the stadium were all ignited after seeing such a goal, and after only being stunned for a second or two, they once again picked up the 'vuvuzula' in their hands and blew a deafening noise. …,

More professional than the audience. The commentators in the broadcast seats were very energetic and analyzed, and they were all talking about Li Jingyuan's goal. Check the data, make comparisons, and even analyze the destructive power of this free kick from the perspective of physics.

At a speed of 188 per hour, what kind of reaction will it be to hit a person? I don't know who Lu Dao is so powerful, and he actually got a reply from a professional. 'If it's stuffy to a special part. Or if you are not fully prepared, such a heavy cannon may even hit people directly to fainting', after such a comment was said, the fans who watched the TV broadcast got a more intuitive impression, and at the same time were shocked.

The crowd was just a little surprised, but the Greek players on the pitch were not so relaxed. As professionals, they can judge the power of this shot based on their previous experience.

Turning his head to look at the football that fell in the net, and then looking at Lee Kyung-won who was surrounded by the South Korean players to congratulate, the players of the Greek team couldn't help but feel a little cold on their scalps. Especially the two people who acted as a human wall to block Li Jingyuan's free throw route just now, although they didn't say it at this time, they couldn't help but be a little happy in their hearts.

Scoring early in the game gave the initiative on a tactical level; The free-kick was brilliant and powerful, which again dampened the morale of the opponent and gave the South Korean team a psychological advantage. Li Jingyuan's powerful shot brought not just a goal, but an all-round lead.

As the head coach of the team, Xu Dingmao certainly won't fail to see the changes on the field. After venting his excitement with a roar, he immediately made a decision.

It happened that before the kick-off, Li Jingyuan came to him with a group of people to celebrate together, and Xu Dingmao hurriedly waved Park Ji-sung to the scene and conveyed instructions to him to continue the attack.

Some people may ask, aren't you worried that the Greek team will press heavily and counterattack after conceding a goal? Isn't it better to be steady at such a time?

Actually, there is no need for that at all. If the goal just now wasn't so exciting, maybe Xu Dingmao would have slowed down the pace of the players. But now, the players of the Greek team are a little blind, when will they start if they don't start at this time? Taking advantage of the opponent's faintness, hurry up and continue to attack, this is the best choice.

The continued bombardment caused a number of crises in front of the Greek team's goal, and it was not until ten minutes later that the situation was alleviated.

Rehhagel is a little helpless now. He also saw the state of the players, but there was no good way to stop it. If it's a normal game, he can also remind the players by shouting that it can be played at the World Cup in South Africa. This kind of yelling reminder didn't work at all, after all, there were countless 'vuvuzula' on the scene, and the noise was so loud that the players on the field couldn't hear him at all.

Say hello with a gesture? The results are far from ideal. Not to mention that the players of the Greek team are a little blind, even if they are in a normal mental state now, they will definitely not be distracted, and from time to time to see what the manager on the sidelines is doing. Not concentrating on the field. That's a mistake that only amateurs make, and the pros of the Greek team don't have that habit of looking at the dugout unless they hear the manager's greeting.

Finally, taking advantage of a football out of bounds, Rehhagel conveyed his instructions to the players on the field, which allowed the Greek team to return to stability.

The Greek team recovered, and the South Korean team's efficiency when attacking decreased. Seeing this situation, Xu Dingmao made adjustments. Let the whole formation recover a little, and at the same time increase the intensity of ball control, and direct the South Korean team and the Greek players to play a positional battle. …,

'Assault' can't be used all the time. The game lasts for 90 minutes in total, and you must allocate your physical strength reasonably. Even if the South Korean team is known for its physical strength, it is impossible to maintain the rhythm of 'assault' and play the whole game. Therefore, even if the level of positional warfare is not as good as that of the Greek team, Xu Dingmao can only make such an arrangement.

After another twenty minutes or so, the Greek team gradually gained the upper hand in the positional battle.

When he first saw this kind of sign, Xu Dingmao was still a little irritable, but when he saw Li Jingyuan's performance, he was no longer worried.

Li Jingyuan made one or two saves, and it was a very ordinary action. It doesn't seem to say anything.

However, this is only for outsiders. For Heo Dingmao, the head coach of the South Korean team, Lee Kyung-won's actions are not so simple.

Goalkeepers will give instructions to the defenders in front of them, especially when the team is down, and some goalkeepers will also use anger to show their dissatisfaction with the defense. For example, this is the case of the former goalkeeper of the German team, Kahn, who likes to command the defenders with a roar. That's why he got the nickname 'Golden Retriever Lion King'.

But Li Jingyuan didn't like to do this. He is very self-aware, knowing that his tactical literacy is the worst in the team, and his judgment is definitely not as accurate as the professional players on the backline, so every time in training, he will not take the initiative to command, but passively cooperate with the defenders to make moves and saves again and again.

Things are not absolute, though. In very rare cases, Li Jingyuan will still take the initiative to take the baton and command the back line with shouting.

Xu Dingmao remembers it very clearly. It was an intra-team training match after the Girls' Generation team visited the class, maybe it was because the Girls' Generation's visit made Li Jingyuan a little excited, or maybe because of other reasons, in short, Li Jingyuan behaved very differently in that game, and actually took the initiative to command the back line.

Commanding the backline in good order, he even made a couple of incredible saves, culminating in two more free-kicks to lead his team to a 5-0 scoreline.

Later, after the training, Xu Dingmao also talked to Li Jingyuan. After asking, he got an answer that couldn't be laughed at, Li Jingyuan said at the time, "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I feel that I should do it at that time." ’

The answer given by Li Jingyuan was very vague, but Xu Dingmao saw some information from it.

Every player has moments of inspiration, such as the occasional long-distance run on the pitch, or the magical play of French goalkeeper Barthez in '98, which are all performances that talented players will only make after they have entered the state of supergod.

In Xu Dingmao's view, Li Jingyuan in the training match has entered that state. As for why he would enter the super-god state, Xu Dingmao didn't plan to figure it out, because he knew that it was unattainable. Xu Dingmao has only one idea, that is, he hopes that Li Jingyuan can come to the World Cup so many times.

Li Jingyuan's saving action was not exciting, but he gave advice to the players in the back line after the save and commanded it. This made Xu Dingmao a little surprised.

Xu Dingmao never expected that in the first game of the South Korean team, he saw the scene he was looking forward to. At first, he was a little skeptical. But after a few more minutes of careful observation, Xu Dingmao couldn't help but show an excited expression, because he was already very sure that Li Jingyuan was now in the supernatural state he was expecting.

That's right. If I can score a goal like that, I'll be excited. Xu Dingmao immediately combined his own experience to find a reason for Li Jingyuan. …,

In fact, it is just as Xu Dingmao thought. It was because of that goal that Li Jingyuan excitedly entered the state of supergod. Although this is not the first time he has participated in the World Cup, it is still the first time that he has scored in a 90-minute regular season, let alone such a spectacular goal.

Supergod state. Or rather, the state of the beast. Now Li Jingyuan is making judgments based on intuition, it doesn't matter if he has no experience, his brain will tell him what to do, and he may be a little hesitant at first, I don't know if I want to do it according to my own ideas, but after one or two experiments, I saw the effect. There won't be any more worries.

He faithfully executed the first idea in his head, not only to make reasonable and effortless saves, but also to command the back line very solidly. Li Jingyuan's performance is not unexciting.

"Is Jing Yuan commanding?" The assistant coach on Xu Dingmao's side also saw it, and also asked him with some surprise.

"Hehe, yes, this kid told me that if he wasn't sure, he wouldn't take the initiative to speak. Obviously, this kid is in great shape right now, and the Greek team is going to be unlucky. After Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, Xu Dingmao couldn't help but glance at the coach's seat of the Greek team, and made a regretful expression to Rehhagel.

Although I couldn't see Xu Dingmao's expression. However, Rehhagel also saw the situation on the field. In the first fifteen minutes, the South Korean team attacked wildly, and the next fifteen minutes, the two teams maintained a stalemate, and in the next ten minutes, the Greek team gained the upper hand.

Even if there is no goal to equalize the score. But it is clear that the morale of the Greek team has risen.

With higher morale, a physical advantage, better skills than the South Korean players, and the belief that the tactics he has arranged are definitely better than the head coach of the South Korean team, Rehhagel is very sure that at some point in the next moment, the Greek team can score a goal to tie the score.

Wait, wait, wait, but this moment never came. This made Rehhagel a little irritated.

In the end, he still has the name of 'the Great', and Rehhagel quickly found out the reason. The key reason why the Greek team did not score just because the goalkeeper of the South Korean team performed too well.

What kind of goalkeeper is best?

In addition to being able to make good saves, insiders pay more attention to the advance prediction of goalkeepers. Before making a save, the goalkeeper's position is critical. Don't look at the difference of just one or two steps, but such a small gap may be able to turn a goal that is difficult to save into a non-threatening shot, and for insiders, these two steps to get out of the way is the most important thing.

Buffon and Casillas rely on experience, and Li Jingyuan relies on intuition. But no matter what it is, in the end, it still took that 'one or two steps'.

And Li Jingyuan scored a wonderful free kick before, which was the direct murderer who caused the Greek team to fall behind.

With a goalkeeper like Lee Kyung-won in the South Korean team, Rehhagel inevitably frowned.

After frowning, I could only feel helpless. If it is in other positions on the field, Rehhagel can also send a player to mark the defense, so as to reduce the influence of the opponent's core players, but Li Jingyuan is the goalkeeper, how can this be marked? Not to mention staring, it's not possible to get closer, and interfering with the goalkeeper is also one of the fouls.

"Can you find a way to get that guy out of the game? It's not a problem to go on like this. Just when Rehhagel was a little worried, the assistant coaches next to him were also working on a solution, and several people were talking, and they didn't know who proposed such a plan, which happened to let Rehhagel hear it. …,

Rehhagel simply disdained to use this kind of indiscriminate means, and he himself was disgusted. Of course, disgust is disgust, and if you think about it objectively, Rehhagel also has to admit that the assistant coach's proposal is indeed a solution.

"You mean foul?? Let's pull it down, let's think of other tricks. Just as Rehhagel was about to retract his thoughts, he heard another coach's answer. The tone of this answer was very disdainful, which made Rehhagel a little misunderstood, and he thought that this coach had the same attitude as himself, so he couldn't help but listen to it more.

"I did all the investigations of my opponents. The goalkeeper of the South Korean team is not a professional player and does not have any football-related information other than the last World Cup. So until the start of the game, his strength was a mystery. ”

"It's a bit more informative, and according to my research, the guy had a good record in WWE professional wrestling in the United States. I can say without exaggeration that he is the best of all the people on the field, and I don't think it's a good idea to play yin against him, but if we do fight, our side will be more unlucky. ”

Well, a free kick and a strong attack; can save, can predict, and has strong defense; When provoked by unconventional means, it will also incur a large area of splash reflection damage. If Rehhagel also played games, then Li Jingyuan would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult elite monster to deal with, and after experiencing such a dilemma, Rehhagel's brows furrowed even more.
