Section 916 Cannonball Goals
Although the statements are different, in any country, there will be the so-called 'good start'.
As the head coach of the South Korean team, Heo Dingmao certainly wants to lead the team to win a beautiful 'good start' in the first game.
The idea is good, but it is still a little difficult to implement.
South Korea's opponents, Greece, are not underdogs. Don't look at the Greek team's reputation as if it is not as good as Spain, Germany, and England, but in fact, their ranking in the world is not bad at all, and the eleventh place is only one step away from the top ten in the world.
How is this ranking determined? It mainly depends on the results of the national team in international A-level competitions.
Located in Europe, most of the A-level tournaments in which the Greek team participates are against European teams.
The degree of development of European football is understandable to anyone who is a fan. In a European zone full of strong teams, it is obviously not an easy task for the Greek team to win so many points and raise the national team's ranking to 11th in the world rankings.
To be able to do this already shows that the Greek team is tough.
Every player in the Greek team seems to be not well-known, but the fact that the Greek team can play such a good result shows that the players of the Greek team are very good at cooperating with each other.
This kind of team is the most difficult to deal with, and if Xu Dingmao is given a choice, he would rather face the French team, the champion of the previous life with many stars but unfamiliar cooperation, than the current Greek team.
In addition to the factors on the player side. The head coach of the Greek team is also an opponent that must be taken seriously.
Otto. Rehhagel. This is not an ordinary person, the old man of Germany has the nickname of Otto the Great. Being able to be called the 'Great Emperor' already shows that he is strong.
Let's not mention the general winning and losing fields, here is a little talk about the two legends created by the German old man.
In 1997, he took over Kaiserslautern in the lower reaches of the Bundesliga, reinventing the team in just a few months, and then even bringing the team on the verge of relegation to the first division in May.
Moving from the bottom to the top of the list is amazing enough. But even more amazing things are yet to come.
After leading Kaiserslautern to the top, Rehhagel was not satisfied, and this was just the beginning.
Kaiserslautern, who are promoted to the club, will face a Bundesliga team in the new season. And not those Bundesliga teams from last season. The opponents have moved up a lot, and it stands to reason that Kaiserslautern should have discounted the strength he showed in the Bundesliga.
But in fact, the performance of this team has blinded many football professionals. Obviously a new army, not only in the middle of the schedule with a very strong performance to beat the defending Bundesliga champion Bayern, but even won the 98 Bundesliga championship as a promoted horse.
Promoted to win the championship, this has never happened, let alone the five major leagues in Europe, and even other unknown minor leagues. To put it bluntly, this kind of thing can already be regarded as a violation of objective laws.
The previous year, he won the Bundesliga championship. Winning the Bundesliga title the following year, Rehhagel and Kaiserslautern created an unprecedented legend and the first legend of his managerial career.
The next legend will be pushed back a few years. At this time, Rehhagel was no longer the head coach of any club, but accepted the invitation of the Greek national team to be the head coach of this team.
Coaching in a club, I feel that the strength of the team is not good, and I can also increase the strength by bringing in players. But there is no such thing in the national team, no matter how good the skills are, as long as they are not of Greek nationality. You will never be able to enter the Greek national team. …,
In other words, when coaching at a club, players can be selected according to tactics, while when coaching in the national team, tactics can only be formulated based on players. Obviously. The latter is much more difficult than the former.
After taking on the difficult task, Rehhagel's answer sheet was perfect.
Let's not talk about how to rectify the team. Let's just take a look at the results of Rehhagel's Greek team.
At the 2004 European Championship in Portugal, the Greek team also reached the final stage. Greece had only played at Euro 1980 and the 1994 World Cup without a single victory, and in the United States, they had a humiliating record of 10 goals conceded in all three games.
At the same time, the traditional powerhouses of Italy, France, England and Spain also participated in the competition. Compared with these teams, the Greek team's historical record is not at all matched, and of course it will not be favored by the outside world.
But such a team that is not favored, under the leadership of Rehhagel, played an amazing game. Greece laid the groundwork for qualification by beating hosts Portugal in their opening game, then eliminated favourites France in the quarter-finals and the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals, where they defeated hosts Portugal in the final, creating the "Greek myth" after the "Danish fairy tale" in 1992.
Once the legend of Kaiserslautern, once the Greek mythology, other managers may not be able to accomplish one of them in their lifetime, but Rehhagel has done both, and this level of coaching is obvious.
The opponent is the 'Emperor', if you are not careful, it will be really brainless.
Obviously, Xu Dingmao is not brain-dead, in order to be safe, he arranged Li Jingyuan as a goalkeeper in the first game. First ensure that you don't concede the ball, and then wait for the opportunity to attack, this is Xu Dingmao's main plan.
Of course, be cautious and be careful, and you can't be timid before you fight. In Xu Dingmao's view, the strength of the South Korean team is not too much worse than that of the Greek team, and putting Lee Kyung-won in the position of goalkeeper is already very secure in the rear, and there is no need to arrange defensive counterattack tactics to increase defense again.
And defense alone can't get a 'good start'. Figured this out. Xu Dingmao gave a surprise order to the frontcourt players. Let them attack with all their might from the start, trying to break the opponent's goal in a short time.
In the original history, this directive has been implemented very well, and good results have been obtained. In the sixth minute of the game, Park Joo-young will score a goal to give South Korea the lead.
But with one more Li Jingyuan, the situation became different.
The Greek team's defensive style is already tough, and many times it is fouls to stop the opponent's attack.
This time was no exception. The surprise attack of the South Korean team was a bit sudden, and the Greek team was caught off guard and had to be taken by last resort. Their defenders had no choice but to use foul play.
The foul was committed 45 metres away from the Greek goal, which is a safe distance under normal circumstances.
Rehhagel thought the same way, thinking it was just a very ordinary free-kick. So he didn't give any special instructions.
But in the next second, Rehhagel couldn't sit still, because he saw a very unexpected scene.
The goalkeeper of the South Korean team actually left the goal range and ran to the front of the field to take the free kick.
In Rehhagel's opinion, it is impossible for South Korea to take an indirect free kick because the goalkeeper has already left the goal, and if the indirect free kick is intercepted by the Greek team, it is equivalent to losing points.
'Direct shot? A shot from 45 meters away? Or is it the goalkeeper who will take the penalty? Just kidding, at this distance, even Chilavert couldn't possibly score. Are you stronger than Chiravit? In the end, he has the name of "Emperor", and his temper is also a bit of "Emperor", a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Rehhagel sat down again with disdain. …,
"Huh?? Ay? What's going on? Isn't OPPA a goalkeeper? How did you get there? Rehhagel was very disdainful of Li Jingyuan's approach, but the group of people who stayed at Li Jingyuan's house to watch the game were different, and after seeing Li Jingyuan running to the front court, Xiao T, who knew a little bit of football, couldn't help but exclaim, and the others also showed very surprised expressions.
"Hidene, what do you think?" Jiang Hudong and several of their fans couldn't understand it, so they asked Li Xiugen, who knew the ball best. All right. This sentence is a bit coincidental, it turned out to be the Yuan Fang body that is prevalent in my Celestial Empire, but no one can understand the wonders of it, it's really a pity.
"It's supposed to be a direct shot, I can only think of this possibility."
"Will Jing Yuan take a free kick?" Kim Jong Kook also spoke out. As Lee Kyung-won's teammate in the artist football team, he and Lee so-geun have both seen Lee Kyung-won's skills. After thinking about it for a while. couldn't find the scene of Lee Kyung-won taking the free kick in his mind, so Kim Jong Kook thought he was mistaken, so he confirmed it with Lee so-geun.
"I haven't seen him kick." Li Xiugen also recalled carefully, and then shook his head and gave an answer.
"Isn't that dangerous??" Hearing Li Xiugen say this, several people immediately became anxious.
If Li Xiugen hadn't shaken his head, everyone wouldn't have been so worried. An inexperienced person goes to make a free throw, not to say that there is a chance that he will make a mistake, and he will certainly not be too sure. If Lee Kyung-won didn't take a good penalty and was intercepted by the opponent, wouldn't the South Korean team be too dangerous?
"It's a little bit dangerous, but it's not that serious." Shaking his head again, Li Xiugen spoke again: "If the ball doesn't go in, then there may be three situations, either it is directly kicked out of the bottom line, or it is obtained by our players, and the worst case is that it is intercepted by the opponent." ”
"Being obtained by us, or directly kicking out of the bottom line, can leave enough time for Jing Yuan to run back, so there is no need to worry about these two situations at all."
"Even if the enemy gets the ball, it won't be too dangerous. First of all, this penalty spot is very far away from the opponent's goal, that is, the distance from our goal is not too far, and it won't take much time for Jing Yuan to run back after the free throw. ”
"And after the opponent gets the ball, it is impossible to attack at the first time, and the hanging door will definitely not go in, because there is a defender in our goal, and you don't need to get started, you can push the ball out of the ball with a push."
"You can't fight back quickly, there are so many people in the front court, if you can't do it, you can use fouls to block it, and the timeout time is enough for Jing Yuan to go back."
Don't look at Li Xiugen, he is always not in shape in the show. But if he gets serious. It can also be said that the head is the Tao, and after this analysis, everyone's nervousness has decreased a lot.
Back on the field. Li Jingyuan, as the goalkeeper, stepped forward to take a penalty kick that also surprised the referee a little, which delayed for a few seconds, and then Li Jingyuan wanted to hit it again, so it was inevitable to ask for a little more carefully, protest to the referee, and let the Greek team's two-man wall move back a little, and after nearly twenty seconds, it was ready.
"Alright, alright. It's all quiet, it's time for free throws. "Not only Jiang Hudong and these people have quieted down, but even the game scene has become a little quiet, and those spectators want to see what tricks the goalkeeper of the South Korean team is going to do. For a while, I forgot to blow 'Vuvuzula'.
'If the opponent fouls at this distance of forty meters, then Li Jingyuan, you will take the penalty, I don't care what the specific method is, but you must not leave the opponent with a chance to counterattack quickly, do you know the way? Standing in front of the ball, Li Jingyuan recalled Xu Dingmao's instructions at the pre-game preparation meeting, and then looked at the position of the human wall formed by the two players of the Greek team not far in front of him, and after thinking about it for a while, he wanted to use the penalty for this ball. …,
Backwards, backwards. Li Jingyuan withdrew a full ten meters away.
As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Li Jingyuan moved, and the small broken steps jogged to adjust his pace, and then suddenly increased his pace to increase his speed.
In an instant, Li Jingyuan came to the ball again. I saw that his left leg stood firmly on the grass like a cement pillar, and then his right leg was raised high, and he pulled straight onto the ball with great speed and force.
The two Greek players who lined up the wall thought that Li Jingyuan wanted to kick a falling leaf ball or a high-altitude falling penalty such as an elevator ball, and in order to stop him, they also wanted to gamble on luck to block the free throw and then start a fast break immediately, so the two Greek players jumped up immediately after Li Jingyuan's foot touched the ball.
The human wall jumped up. It is in the arms of Li Jingyuan. The ball he threw wasn't a high-altitude ball at all, it was just a close-to-the-ground volley.
The longer the distance, the more obstacles there will be between the penalty taker and the goal, and in this case, few people will ignore the calf of these players. High balls are usually used to get around these defenders.
But Li Jingyuan deliberately did the opposite, and everyone wouldn't think so. He just wanted to do that, and this kind of loophole was surprisingly easy to use.
You must know that Li Jingyuan used all his skills this time, so the speed of the football when it flew was terrifying, and there was data at that time that the data showed that this powerful volley actually kicked the football out of an ultra-high speed of 188 kilometers per hour. What is this speed? In other words, a soccer ball can fly 52 meters per second, but now the penalty spot is only 45 meters away from the goal, which means that it doesn't take even a second to fly this distance.
Fast is not over, and the free throw is still hidden. Almost everyone thought that Li Jingyuan was going to hang a high ball, so subconsciously, the defenders focused their attention on the air. But what they never expected was that the football actually drilled out from the foot of the wall of those two people, which caught them off guard.
If you don't react at the first time, it will be impossible to stop it, and with its super high speed, the football flew in front of the Greek goal almost instantly.
The goalkeeper of the Greek team was even more tragic, not only was he focused on the air, but he was also blocked by the defenders in front of him, so when the football flew over, he couldn't grasp the route at all, and the speed of the football was extremely fast, so he had no time to react.
Just made a squat, and before he even had time to fall to the ground, the ball flew into the goal from a meter to the right of the Greek goalkeeper, hitting the net with a high wave.
“Goal~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God, it's unbelievable, it's crazy~!!! All the commentators on the scene went crazy, and one by one they held their heads in their hands, their eyes widened, and they shouted at the top of their voices.
The players of the South Korean team were also crazy, and everyone didn't expect Lee Kyung-won to be so powerful that he really scored a wonderful goal at this distance. Everyone gathered up and surrounded Li Jingyuan in the middle, and Da Lu smiled and patted him on the back to celebrate wildly.
Xu Dingmao and the other assistant coaches on the bench also went crazy, and after only a few minutes of the opening game, they had already taken the lead, and it was such a wonderful goal. Boosted their morale, hit the morale of their opponents, and took the initiative in the score, what better start than this?
The artists who stayed at Li Jingyuan's house to watch the ball game also went crazy. After they saw this goal, they were even more surprised than others, no one could have imagined that Li Jingyuan really had such a hand, under the excitement, regardless of men and women, regardless of size, all the artists forgot their image, and jumped up with their hands raised.
All Korean fans are crazy. Although they really hoped that the South Korean team could take the lead, they really couldn't imagine that it was an entertainer player who opened the scoring for the Korean team, and the position of this entertainer player was still the goalkeeper. Because of this goal, countless wine bottles and wine glasses were broken in restaurants large and small in South Korea, all because the fans were shocked and subconsciously let go of their hands.
Rehhagel is also crazy. I saw that the 'Great Emperor's eyes widened, as if he had seen God, and he was still muttering words that he couldn't understand, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was muttering. Perhaps, he was regretting his contempt and disdain. (To be continued.)
