Chapter 357: What is a genius?

The day after Arsenal's return from the Champions League is a league game against Everton.

Needless to say, the Gunners once again opted to give up strategically and continue to use a full bench to face the third-place opponent in the league, so a 2-3 defeat seemed reasonable.

Arsenal have already won the championship ahead of schedule, and they don't need to maintain their unbeaten season after losing to Liverpool, so they naturally don't mind continuing to lose.

Therefore, in the next two league games, Arsenal still uses a rotating lineup to face them, and the wins and losses of these games have long been irrelevant.

What matters now is the seventh round of the FA Cup, which takes place at the end of the month, as well as the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

If they want to win the five crowns, they can't afford to lose these two cups.

On 22 April, Arsenal first played the FA Cup semi-finals against Tottenham Hotspur, the Gunners' hated north London rivals.

However, despite the high hatred value of this sworn enemy in the same city, it is difficult to pose a real threat to Arsenal.

Arsenal also did not have any mentality of underestimating their opponents, and they deliberately gave their main team a week of rest in order to prepare for this FA Cup semi-final.

This minimized the chances of an upset for Tottenham, who fell to Wu Jie's free-kick despite stubborn resistance in the first half, putting up a bucket formation to stop Arsenal's attack.

In the end, Tottenham defended a decent 0-1, but the whole process was not dignified at all, because even after Arsenal took the lead, Tottenham did not drive away from the bus in front of goal, and still put on a rigid formation to prevent Arsenal from scoring.

Arsenal don't care about the process of winning, as long as they can win, the best result is the best, and they still focus more on the Champions League.

The English Football League is about the same importance as the FA Cup, depending on which club has won the few.

Arsenal have won these two honors more than once, and last season they won the three major domestic trophies in England, but the Champions League has not been touched once, so it is worth saying which is more important.

Gunners fans are also focused on the Champions League, and although they beat Barcelona 2-0 in the first leg, this score does not mean that anything can happen on the road.

Barcelona did not give up either, as long as they could return a 2-0 win at home to Arsenal, they would have a chance to drag the game to extra time.

It's best to drag it out until the penalty shootout, Barcelona fans have absolute confidence, as long as it can be dragged to the goalkeeper competition, Lin Yaodong will definitely not let them down.

This is true, because of the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, Arsenal relied on a perfect run in front of Wu Jie's penalty area + a fairy stop in the opening fifteen minutes, successfully broke into the penalty area, and then was put down by the Barcelona defenders in despair.

The referee was aware of everything and immediately showed a yellow card, and the penalty kick naturally couldn't run.

But Lin Yaodong really didn't disappoint Barcelona fans, he actually prevented Wu Jie, who had only missed a penalty once in his entire career, even if Wu Jie's choice of "spoon shot" faced Lin Yaodong, a historical goalkeeper, was somewhat of a gambling element.

However, no one will blame Wu Jie for missing the penalty kick, because his stats before missing this penalty were 26 out of 27, and his 96% penalty success rate ranks second among all 20+ penalty takers in history.

In the entire history of football, only Dutch star Johan Neeskens has a higher penalty percentage than him, as he has yet to miss a penalty, even though he has not faced a truly top goalkeeper on a few occasions.

But looking at Lin Yaodong on the other hand, this guy has defended a total of 22 penalty kicks in regular season time, including 12 successful saves, and the 54% save success rate is also unmatched in the entire history of football.

If I had to name one person, it would be Yashin.

But due to its long history, FIFA doesn't have accurate save stats for the legendary goalkeeper, so it's impossible to judge who is better.

And Lin Yaodong is now the goalkeeper with the highest success rate among all the goalkeepers admitted by FIFA who have made more than 20 saves, so to speak: he is the goalkeeper with the highest statistical save success rate in football history.

This time, the most capable person defeated the most capable person, Wu Jie is not very ashamed, and Lin Yaodong's gold content in the saving point is naturally higher, but I don't know if there is any PY transaction in this!

Wu Jie said: Really not!

In this penalty, he not only made a change of speed that made it difficult for most goalkeepers to vomit blood during the run, but also had a realistic feint when shooting.

Wu Jie didn't believe that anyone could judge the angle of his shot, so there was only one explanation: this TM was blind!

Lin Yaodong didn't say it, because he was really blinded.

He and Wu Jie don't know how many times they have faced each other in dream training, and the rate of his winning is less than 30%, after all, in the penalty kick, the goalkeeper is definitely at an absolute disadvantage, and many times it is necessary to rely on Meng.

This time Wu Jie didn't keep his hand, Lin Yaodong couldn't judge the angle of the shot, so he simply gambled that Wu Jie was also afraid of his reaction and skills, so it was likely to choose the spoon penalty that seemed to be the most dangerous, but it might be the safest.

So who is on the fifth layer and who is on the fourth layer of this wave of two?

Is it a fool or not?

They can't even say it themselves!

But the result was: Lin Yaodong saved Wu Jie's penalty, and after Barcelona survived, he soon saw the hope of a comeback.

Before the end of the first half, Barcelona's striker Carrasco, nicknamed "The Grey Wolves", made a well-placed free-kick in front of Arsenal's penalty area.

Subisareta quickly looked at the opposite half with a painful face, and the most hated colleague really ran over.

The entire "Camp Nou" instantly erupted in deafening cheers, and 80,000 of the 120,000-capacity stadium today were Barcelona home fans, who were either shouting Lin Yaodong's name or waving his portrait in a frantic shout.

This is also the most exciting picture of every game at Camp Nou since last season.

A goalkeeper not only concedes first in the league, but also competes for the league's Golden Boot with free kicks and penalties, which can only be seen at the Camp Nou in the world.

Therefore, this one reserved program alone can make Barcelona's attendance in every game full, and even the Spinach Group will open a handicap of "whether you can score a free kick" for Lin Yaodong every game.

Subisareta's face has darkened, and the biggest reason why Lin Yaodong is the most hated peer is that he can always score goals with free kicks and penalties.

Just imagine, what is the most humiliating scene of a world-class goalkeeper?

The answer is not an own goal, not a butter hand, nor a game of being kicked seven or eight goals, but by the opponent's goalkeeper to complete the goal, this is the most humiliating moment for a goalkeeper!

It's similar to being a striker and not only scoring a goal, but also making a cameo in the goalkeeper to save your shot.

Today's first half is destined to be Lin Yaodong's performance moment.

He not only managed to deceive Arsenal's wall with an unexpected bocce shot, but also left Subisareta helpless at the other end of the goal, watching the ball roll into the goal.

At this moment, Subisareta felt like he was being slapped in the face and then spitting, because he was suffering the ultimate humiliation of a goalkeeper.

However, apart from the humiliated goalkeeper, the rest of the Arsenal players were not alarmed! 118

Their tactics today were counter-attacking from the start, and the defensive effect was quite good, and the best chance created by the Barcelona side was this free-kick.

As for counter-attacks, in addition to creating a penalty in the first half, Arsenal also played several threatening counter-attacks, and had more shots on target than Barcelona.

If it weren't for Lin Yaodong's world-class saves several times, and even Wu Jie's penalty kick was saved, Barcelona's coffin board would have been nailed by them a long time ago.

The reason why Arsenal is not panicked, of course, is that they know that the opportunities created by Barcelona are far inferior to them, and no matter how brave Lin Yaodong is, it is impossible for him to savior in front of the goal every time, so why mess up with himself?

At this time, I have to say that the so-called "superstar" is not only outstanding, but also has a very comparable mentality, otherwise he would not be able to become a superstar.

Arsenal's two midfielders, who are not yet superstars, but whose strength has reached the level of superstars, are calm and terrifying today, not only revealing the demeanor of a general when handling the ball, but also always exuding an aura from time to time.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Laudrup and Gullit broke through the middle through continuous wall collisions, and a cross from the latter allowed Laudrup to hold the ball into the hinterland.

Audrup's dribbling breakaways, including long-range shots, are dangerous attacking tools.

Barcelona's defense naturally did not dare to be careless, in addition to strictly guarding against Wu Jie and Lineker, who were inserting in front, they also allocated a lot of troops to defend Laudrup.

At this time, Laudrup was forty meters away from the goal, and made a memorable move for Barcelona fans - I saw him lie the ball forward and make a very realistic powerful shot, and even Lin Yaodong in front of the goal was deceived into paying attention to this long shot.

Laudrup did hit the ball but gave it a late effort to put the ball into the box and it was a pass!

When Wu Jie feinted to shoot at Laudrup, he first made a sharp stop to avoid possible offside, and then accelerated diagonally into the penalty area, instantly shaking off the two defenders around him.

Lin Yaodong secretly screamed badly, he had just been shaken by Laudrup's shooting feint, although the position he was in at the moment could block Laudrup's long-range shooting angle, but it exposed the shooting space to Wu Jie, who was diagonally inserted into the left side of the small penalty area.

At this moment, the fans on both sides are angry and dare not breathe, Barcelona fans are worried that Wu Jie will complete the goal after unloading the ball, Arsenal fans feel that it is not difficult to stop the ball, but it is difficult to complete the shot before Lin Yaodong blocks the shooting angle.

Laudrup's pass landed on the left side of the six-yard box, and it wasn't too difficult to stop the ball because Lineker and Elkjer could do it.

But the difficulty of this goal is that there can be no delay, otherwise not only Lin Yaodong can re-seal the shooting angle, but the two Barcelona defenders who were just thrown away by him will immediately catch up.

Arsenal fans know very well that even if Wu Jie still has a chance to shoot at that time, as long as the perverted goalkeeper is given time to prepare, eighty percent will be blocked again.

But if you want to shoot straight at goal, how do you stop the ball to do it?

You can't just volley the ball without stopping, right?

Wu Jie didn't have similar shots, but this time his position was still some distance from the football, and obviously he couldn't hit the goal by shooting directly, so he had to unload the ball first and then hit the goal after adjustment, but didn't this give the opponent's goalkeeper time to deal with it?

Arsenal fans, including the players, felt that this second pass seemed to be an opportunity, but in fact it couldn't be grasped at all, and it was too difficult.

But Wu Jie proved what it means to be a "ball king", that is, to make impossible opportunities possible.

As he lunged forward, he tapped the smashed cross like a feather with a high leg lift, and used a clever stop to make the ball not hit the ground, but bounced up a few centimeters.

At this time, Wu Jie did not make any further adjustments, he directly turned and volleyed with the inertia of the forward rush, and hit the ball towards the goal with an unconventional volley side hook.

Although Lin Yaodong did not fully return to the defensive position, he was sure that even if Wu Jie volleyed without making adjustments, he would be able to rely on his agile skills to make a save.

But he really didn't expect Wu Jie to shoot with such an unconventional action, the biggest threat of this volley side hook was not suddenness, but the angle of the shot completely exceeded his expectations, and it actually hit the position he had just rushed over.

At this point, he had to make a quick stop and then instantly return to where he was in order to make a save.

But he wasn't Superman or The Flash, so of course he didn't have time to react, and the ball went into the net on the right side of the goal in an instant.

And Lin Yaodong had just completed the emergency stop at this time, and he didn't have time to make any more moves.

In the end, I could only helplessly look at Wu Jie, who was completely hands-free and turned up from the ground in an instant, and started the latest celebration - "Human Flag + Space Walk".

That's right, this "human flag" is one of the iconic actions in the future "extreme fitness", although the difficulty is not big in extreme fitness, but because of the outstanding visual effects, it looks extremely stylish.

Wu Jie's current "Human Flag + Space Walk" belongs to the advanced version of the highest difficulty, which is not only visually shocking, but also almost full of difficulty.

Of course, the prerequisite for this "celebration" is that the opposing goalkeeper knows you well, and you have to make sure that he doesn't kick you off the post.

Lin Yaodong looked at Wu Jie, who was performing "Human Flag + Space Step" on his doorpost, of course, he could only smile helplessly.

But if it were to be someone else, he would have kicked it a long time ago.

The Camp Nou was greeted with boos at first, but the boos quickly turned sharply as everyone watched in amazement as Wu Jie performed a space walk like a flag hanging across the goalpost.

"God, how did he do it?"

"Am I hallucinating? He hung himself horizontally on the doorpost? Still strolling? ”

"Chinese Kung Fu? Light work? ”

"Cured me of cervical spondylosis for many years!"

“……”

At this moment, Barcelona fans feel that their physical knowledge has been challenged, but I have to say that this action looks really visually impactful and shocking!

It's the eighties, and "extreme fitness" has not yet officially developed, Bruce Lee's "Dragon Flag" can already make people feel staggered, and the visual impact of this "human flag + space walk" action is unimaginable.

The reason why Wu Jie is doing this sassy action today is actually to promote the upcoming movie of the Luo family brothers and sisters in Europe.

Their "Dunhuang", which was released in China two years ago, will finally be released in European countries this summer.

And this "human flag + spacewalk" action, including a variety of advanced "horizontal bar front level", "slow double strength arm", "one-handed pull-ups", "Russian push-ups", will appear in the clip of the male protagonist's training.

But the one-minute clip doesn't appear in the Asian version, but it will be added in both the European and American versions.

Wu Jie knew that Luo Shengyang would automatically regard him as Bruce Lee's successor with this clip alone, because these actions were too visually impactful and too bluffing.

And this action will definitely be asked by the media after the game, and then he can help the two of them promote it openly, and press the title of inventor on Luo Shengyang.

In the future, the two siblings will be the founders of "parkour" and "extreme fitness", because no one has shown these two sports so completely before them.
