Chapter 285: One-handed upside down
On the afternoon of December 13, when the Chinese queue team entered the warm-up, a bald head came to Ou Chuliang.
"Oh, we're meeting again." The other party obviously knew that Ou Chuliang could speak Portuguese.
"Hello, Ronnie." Ou Chuliang stepped forward and shook the other party's hand.
Both of them also landed in Serie A this summer, the difference is that Ronaldo is overwhelmed by the news, while Ou Chuliang is uncared for.
"Hopefully we had a good game today." Ronaldo knows that the players usually don't communicate much before the game.
"Me too."
After Ou Chuliang stepped forward and hugged the other party, he walked towards his goal with gloves on.
The two had a relationship at the Olympics, and it was that match that Ochulian left a deep impression on Ronaldo.
Since being given the title of "alien" last season, no goalkeeper has been able to stop Ronaldo's raid.
Thinking back to that pace of pace as himself, Ronaldo knew it was time to beat him.
"Let's put an end to everything today!" The host of Brazilian TV shouted at the screen, "Just like Robson said, no one in this world can stop aliens!" ”
Although the Chinese team narrowly defeated Brazil in the Olympic Games last year, almost no one is optimistic about the Chinese team, the former Asian hegemon, in this Confederations Cup.
The two teams are simply not at the same level!
"Ossan! It's up to you! In front of the TV, Hidetoshi Nakata sat cross-legged, staring at Ou Chuliang who waved on the screen.
Although he is also from a Brazilian background, Nakata does not want the Brazilian to win like everyone else.
Since the Japanese team was defeated by the Chinese team in the play-offs, the Japanese Football Association has made a vow to catch up with the Chinese team as the goal, as well as a series of measures such as corresponding youth training and naturalization. They believe that one day, the Japanese team will catch up with the Chinese team and surpass the past.
Until then, the stronger the Chinese team, the better. It's even better not to even pay attention to European and American powerhouses such as Brazil.
Eight teams share one stadium in this year's Confederations Cup, and hosts Saudi Arabia lost 2-0 to Uruguay in the opening game yesterday, while South Africa drew 2-2 with the Czech Republic.
Today's first match is the Chinese team against Brazil.
More than 20,000 fans sat at the King Fahd International Stadium, including several thousand Chinese fans. And there is another characteristic of these fans, they are not only Chinese fans. Some of them are from Southeast Asia such as Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore.
These fans, who have typical Eastern faces, are all included in the category of Chinese team fans when selling tickets. And they also proudly bought small red flags from the shops and waved them enthusiastically in the stands.
In the first game against Brazil, the Chinese team lined up the main lineup in the top 10.
Goalkeeper Ou Chuliang.
The three guards were Zhang Jihua, General Fan and Mao Yijun.
The five central defenders are Sun Jihai, Ma Mingyu, Li Tie, Peng Weiguo, and Wu Chengying.
The two forwards are Gao Feng and Xie Hui.
The Brazilian team's lineup can be called luxurious.
In the 442 formation, the goalkeeper is Dida, the first black goalkeeper in Brazil in recent years.
In the defence are Roma duo Cafu and Aldair, who play for local Brazilian club Flamengo. Bayano, plus Robert, who made a name for himself at Real Madrid. Carlos.
In midfield are Real Madrid's Ze Roberto, Milan's Leonardo, Barcelona's Rivaldo and Dunga, who has moved to Japan's J-League.
On the front line, it is the "Rollo combination" of Romario and Ronaldo.
"With the exception of goalkeeper Dida and defender Bayano, the remaining nine starters are all playing overseas." Huang Jianxiang shook his head and smacked his lips, "If you put aside Dunga, then the starting lineup of this Brazilian team has 8 players from the four major European leagues!" ”
"It's obvious that such a Brazilian team is the main force."
"It seems that the Brazilian team really wants to 'be ashamed' in the game."
After the front-line reporters transmitted the news of Riyadh back to the TV station, even Huang Jianxiang and others from CCTV knew about the "conspiracy of the Europeans" and the "aspirations of the Brazilians"!
Although they feel a little "boring", as journalists, one of their job contents is to exaggerate such "boring" news and make it look like it.
Coupled with the fact that the Chinese team in Riyadh has been pushed to the forefront, it seems that fans all over the world are waiting for a good show.
"Brazil is the number one enemy in this Confederations Cup, if the Chinese team can get a point against Brazil..."
Before Huang Jianxiang finished speaking, Zhang Lu interrupted his conjecture with a slightly hurried voice on the side.
"Brazil passed the ball!"
Brazil passed the ball because it was fast and fast.
In the top 10 matches in Asia, it is rare to see someone pass the ball in such a "violent" way.
That's right, it's violence!
There was a muffled bang, and those who didn't look at the stadium thought it was just a shot.
"This is outrageous!" Peng Weiguo muttered as he chased back.
He can also kick such a ball, the key is who to kick it towards? Which kick according to the shot?
Aim at the goal and shoot it, can you aim at a teammate?
Then the teammate who answered the ball had to bend down to avoid it, and then spat at the ball and give him a thumbs up after it went out of bounds?
But it was such a pass with a very violent aesthetic that was easily unloaded by Ronaldo, who cut in forward.
No one saw how he stopped the ball, only his right foot was outstretched and blocked in the path of the ball.
Then, the ball, which had just been as powerful as destroying the world, stopped at Ronaldo's feet like a well-behaved cat.
When Inter set another world transfer record for $2,800W this summer, no one said that he was not worth the money!
"The Chinese team is in danger!" Huang Jianxiang said worriedly.
In fact, everyone knows the danger!
Because it's Ronaldo who gets the ball!
Ze Roberto's passing penetration is too strong, counting Romario, who has just started, although the Chinese team has seven defenders chasing back, but only three are in front of the two Brazilian players.
Zhang Jihua ran sideways and stuck in position, he knew that he might be facing the strongest striker on the planet!
If you are not careful, the other party may slip out of your nose.
The so-called "carelessness" may be a turning of the head or a "blink".
Not to mention 2 to 3, even Ronaldo 1 to 3, the possibility of scoring is also very high.
For a time, at the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, there was a lot of noise.
Ou Chuliang stood at the back, counting Ronaldo's steps, and slowly retreated.
"Will this guy pass it on?"
Through his understanding of Ronaldo, Ocullian knows that under normal circumstances, aliens will not choose to pass.
It's not that he's alone, it's that he feels that within his ability, he has a chance to break through, shoot and score. It's just that the scope of his ability is much larger than that of others!
But is Ronaldo really not going to pass?
When General Fan and Zhang Jihua formed a trap on him, and Mao Yijun also shifted the focus of defense to his side, Ronaldo would definitely send a beautiful second pass in an inadvertent moment.
There's no easier way to score goals than a solo goalkeeper!
What's more, at that time, Ou Chulian was still facing the lone wolf Romario!
However, can Zhang Jihua alone limit Ronaldo's breakthrough or shooting?
Or, General Fan and Zhang Jihua can really guard against Ronaldo, who is at the peak of his career?
"Don't let him break through easily!" Ou Chuliang roared.
It's not so much a command as a hope.
In the face of a striker of Ronaldo's level, Ou Chuliang gave only these instructions.
In the stands, the Chinese fans were also nervous.
If the Brazilian team gets off to a good start, the next game will not be easy to play!
No matter how you kick it, it's not exciting!
In the crowd, an 8-year-old boy stood up and stared closely at Ronaldo, who was getting closer and closer to the penalty area. It wasn't until years later that he made a save in the Club World Cup named Cristiano. Ronaldo's one-shot ball, he deeply realized how much pressure Ou Chuliang was at that time.
Although Cristiano is just as perfect, there is only one Ronaldo in this world!
"!"
General Fan, who was close at hand, roared angrily, and in the face of aliens, General Fan had no other better way.
Zhang Jihua, who had been counting the cadence, made a decision immediately and fell directly to the ground to tackle the ball.
But at the moment when Zhang Jihua stretched his legs, Ronaldo's figure suddenly flashed, and his right foot gently pushed to the side, letting go of Zhang Jihua who fell to the ground.
Seeing that there was no hope of touching the ball, Zhang Jihua could only retract his leg angrily, it was impossible for him to deliberately stumble on Ronaldo's leg.
At the moment when Ronaldo pulled horizontally, General Fan's eyes flashed, what he was waiting for was this opportunity!
He has it, and he only has this opportunity!
In an instant, General Fan took a step forward.
He didn't rush to make a steal, but leaned his body against Ronaldo.
Among the Chinese team members, General Fan can be regarded as a burly person.
With his physical advantage and skillful heading skills, General Fan has been assisting in front of him and helping his teammates score from set-pieces.
Now, he holds his proud body in front of the aliens, hoping to disturb his rhythm.
As long as there is a slight gap, he will use his body to block the opponent out first, and then act at the opportunity.
In the face of General Fan's close defense, Ronaldo, who was also burly, did not panic and did not pass.
At this moment, he showed the mental qualities of a world-class striker and used a flexibility that was different from his body type, with his shoulders shaking left and right in a split second, as if to the left and to the right.
General Fan's brain subconsciously judged, and taking advantage of this gap, Ronaldo's right foot took the opportunity to push forward. The ball just drilled through General Fan's small door, and then the alien was low and actually drilled out of the gap between General Fan and Zhang Jihua.
"You're a flexible dead fat man!" Many years later, every time he met Ronaldo, Ou Chuliang would tease each other like this.
Yes, who would have thought that a striker of Ronaldo's size would be so flexible in tight spaces and in short bursts of time!
"Ronaldo..."
"Dribbling the ball..."
"It's over!" Huang Jianxiang's voice was filled with a hint of excitement and a hint of helplessness.
As a fan, a man like Ronaldo is simply the most wonderful art; But as a Chinese fan, Ronaldo's "criminal" pass is nothing short of a massacre.
General Fan subconsciously grabbed the corner of Ronaldo's shirt, but he forgot that if he could stop Ronaldo by pulling the jersey, then he would not be called an alien.
"Left? Right? Suddenly? Transmit? Shoot? ”
The moment Ronaldo kicked the ball through General Fan's goal, Ou Chuliang immediately abandoned the goal. In his mind, countless Ronaldo's next actions flashed.
After a year, when he faced Ronaldo one-on-one again, every cell in Ou Chuliang's body tensed.
This opponent is stronger again, I don't know how many!
Trample!
Checking Ronaldo's step, Ou Chuliang's left foot took a step towards the left front.
Looking at Ou Chuliang's steps, suddenly, Ronaldo was also in a trance.
A year ago, it was this guy who used the same rhythm as himself to resolve his own single knife.
He has scored so many goals in his career, single-handedly passed countless goalkeepers, and even hit more empty goals than he can count.
But he had never met a goalkeeper like this!
In other words, the Brazilian team has little chance of meeting the Chinese team in international competitions.
So far, the goalkeeper in front of him, who is about as tall as himself, is the only guy who has found a way to break his pendulum.
That is, the pendulum is too good for him!
In an instant, two young players, just one year apart, met in the box.
One is good at attacking, and the other is good at defending.
No one but themselves knew how much pressure the two men in the deep storm maelstrom were under at that time.
"He shouldn't just be a Napoli substitute goalkeeper! Never! Ronaldo gritted his teeth and cursed the southerners viciously, "If the goalkeeper joins Inter Milan like this, maybe he can win the European championship with him!" ”
Ronaldo has a very correct assessment of his body and strength, so when he found a goalkeeper with the same aura as him, he immediately estimated how much energy was hidden in the goalkeeper's body!
In a one-on-one duel, it is always the striker who has the upper hand.
But when the goalkeeper's aura is enough to put the same pressure on the striker, Ronaldo knows what that means...
Time seemed to be frozen, and both of them could clearly see the beads of sweat on each other's sideburns.
But time can't really be frozen, the clock is still ticking, and even people are still hedging.
A single knife that would have been easy for any striker is now like a heavy shackle on Ronaldo's legs.
He knows that the easier it is, the more pressure you put on the striker.
When he began to fear a shot that would not work, the pressure on him was definitely several times greater than that of the goalkeeper.
And when a player thinks about this, he should know that he has the upper hand in this duel of momentum and pressure.
The rest is all up to technology!
Ronaldo was still dribbling the ball and it seemed like he wanted to take a step forward.
Under the instructions of Ou Chuliang, Mao Yijun did not step forward to make up for the defense, but kept defending Romario.
That is, now in front of him, all that remains...
Ou Chuliang's eyes are like scanners, transmitting every detail of Ronaldo's body to the brain as much as possible. The brain is transformed into an extremely accurate electronic computer, which analyzes Ronaldo's every move.
Suddenly, Ou Chuliang's eyes flashed.
He subtly noticed that Ronaldo's left shoulder was sinking slightly, and his right shoulder was rising.
What does this mean?
It means a lot!
But Ou Chuliang didn't have time to sift through them one by one, and would only follow the first judgment in his mind.
Players will have one side of their shoulders when they shoot, and players will also have their shoulders when they feint shooting!
But the two shoulders have completely opposite mental processes, the former will hide their movements as much as possible, and the latter will make the goalkeeper see more clearly, and then make wrong judgments!
Ou Chuliang didn't know if the results of his analysis were correct, because he didn't have time to verify them.
So at this moment, Ou Chuliang slowed down, because he knew that he could not rush in front of Ronaldo in a short time.
Quietly, Ouchuliang's whole body function turned from forward to accumulating strength, just waiting for Ronaldo's next touch.
No matter which foot, how, or part of the foot he touches the ball, it's a shot!
All you need to do is touch the ball, it's a shot!
Under this pre-judgment command, Ou Chuliang clearly saw that the alien in front of him slowly stretched out the instep of his right foot and straightened it, and his toes were gently raised, which was not a posture of playing the ball at all.
"TMD, this guy is playing false!"
The other party is not pushing, Ou Chuliang's guess is only half right.
But even if he was only fifty percent prepared, Ou Chuliang straightened up at the same time and quickly stepped back.
One-step...
Two steps...
A professional goalkeeper, even if he doesn't look down at the line under his feet, will know where he is and how far away he is from the goal.
And in Ou Chuliang's mind, he even generated a bird's-eye view of the stadium.
After years of accumulation, Ou Chuliang is very clear about his step distance when moving forward and the step distance when he retreats.
So when he stepped back to the third step, Ou Chuliang stepped on the ground with his right foot and jumped backwards fiercely.
"I can't reach it, and you don't want to get in!" Ou Chuliang roared wildly in his heart.
Looking at the ball flying above his head, Ou Chuliang gritted his teeth at the last moment and desperately stretched out his right hand.
In the next second, he saw that his palm could be at the same level as the height of the ball.
Call~~~
Ou Chuliang let out a sigh of relief.
So there are so many!
Also, not everyone can shoot the kind of goalkeeper from the edge of the range.
In the next moment, Ou Chuliang's right hand slapped the ball backwards. Since you don't barely touch the ball with your fingertips, it is better to use this violent way to shoot the ball directly off the crossbar.
After feeling the ball accelerate out of his palm, Ou Chuliang breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about how to land.
always uses this "back-to-back" method to save, and after a long time, his back will be as scarred as Li Jian.
Just as Ou Chuliang fell, the palm of his right hand suddenly touched a hard tube.
Out of human instinct, Ou Chuliang subconsciously clenched with one hand, and his five fingers buckled fiercely on the beam.
Bang!
Squeak squeak...
The door frame of the King Fahd Stadium let out a groan of pain at this moment, and the entire door frame was shaken as if it was about to fall apart.
Ou Chuliang swayed in the air for two consecutive backs and forth before he regained his center of gravity, let go of his hand, and Ou Chuliang landed straight up and down on the goal line, exactly the same.
Buzz...
Another burst of noise rang out.
After losing Ou Chuliang's heavy object, even the beam of the rigid body trembled up and down.
The moment Ou Chuliang made a save, everyone was silent.
It wasn't until Ou Chuliang landed easily that the audience suddenly erupted into a shocking roar.
The overall shouts of more than 20,000 fans were noisy, so that Ou Chuliang couldn't hear what the fans were shouting at all.
But at this point all the fans stood up and shouted frantically as hard as they could. Even the on-site commentators were dumbfounded, staring straight at the front of the Chinese team.
"Waterfack ???"
"What did I see???"
"Is this playing soccer or basketball???
Looking at the football caught in the top net, the live commentator swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
"That crazy Chinese actually made a peerless inverted ?!! at our great King Fahd Stadium"
