There was only half garbage time left, Worrall called in early, Zheng Zhi and Emerson were replaced one after another, although the team's control dropped a lot, but finally won the game 3:0.

After three games, two wins and one draw ranked first in Group B with 7 points, and in the other group stage, Fiorentina defeated Manchester United 2:0 at home, with one win, one draw and one loss and 4 points ranked second, although Manchester United also accumulated 4 points, but lost in the direct confrontation with Fiorentina, so it can only rank third, and Bordeaux, which has one draw and two losses, can only be at the bottom, although it still has the hope of qualifying from the group, but it is difficult to make a difference with such strength.

In his post-match press conference, Bordeaux coach Baucu said bluntly:

'Bayer Leverkusen are so strong, stronger than Manchester United and Fiorentina, I think they could even win the trophy this season. I've had a lot of strong opponents, but I've never seen a team like Bayer Leverkusen, who kept the ball at their feet and then kept passing to find holes in the opponent and they did. We wanted to defend and look for chances, but after just two minutes, that hope was dashed. Zheng scored an unbelievable free-kick, I've never seen anything like it, like a leaflet, like a banana ball, but more aggressive than them, and seemed to ignore the goalkeeper altogether. When we wanted to equalize, the opponent used the team to finish the second and third goals, and I think the game is over......"

Bauku praised Leverkusen and Zheng Zhi, and he lost convincingly. Even in China, Bordeaux is not the strongest team now, in Europe, they are now even less ranked, and they can reach the second stage of the group stage, which is actually the final stage of the journey, and want to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup? It's almost the same to bring back Zidane and Lizarazu.

Worrall also chatted about Zheng Zhi's goal at the press conference, completely ignoring the next two goals, the latter two goals are not surprising at all, Bayer Leverkusen can often score such goals, not to mention just Kirsten and Ze Roberto's leaks?

"I don't know what words to use to describe Zheng's goal."

'It was one of the most beautiful goals I've ever seen, when he was at the penalty spot I thought he was going to kick an inside curl or just a straight instep shot, but when the ball suddenly came down from the air and flew into the goal, I was stunned on the sidelines and I thought I could put my mouth in my fist.

"Ah,"

"I think he's created a whole new way to score from free-kicks?"

"Zheng?"

Worrall turned his head to look at Zheng Zhi beside him.

"Can you tell us what this ball is called?"

"It's called an elevator ball."

"Elevator balls? It's very aptly described, the trajectory of the ball is like an elevator, the arc is quite weird, and the goalkeepers are dumbfounded. The reporters in the audience began to talk a lot.

"It's really created a way to shoot."

"Tomorrow, the word elevator ball will definitely be popular all over Europe."

"No,"

"I didn't create it."

'I'm not the first player to play this kind of ball, maybe there are a lot of people who can play it, it's just that they didn't stand on the Champions Cup stage, their talent wasn't seen.'

Zheng Zhi would not be cheeky enough to say that he created the way he played the elevator ball, and if it weren't for the three guys of Juninho, Pirlo and Ronaldo who kicked such a ball, he would not have practiced it. If you talk about the originator, he thinks it is Juninho Jr.

So he went on to explain, "I've seen a geometry video in China, it's not a star, it's probably some young Brazilian players, I've seen a shot like this, and then I thought it was good, and then I studied it myself, tried it for a long time, and finally I figured it out. ”

If little Juninho can hear Zheng Zhi's words, he will be very happy, and he will definitely think that the guy in the tape is him.

He's been playing in the youth team and the first team for so long, and he's never seen anyone else in Brazil play it!

……

……

The next day, the European media were talking about the free-kick.

Germany's "Kicker" gave Zheng Zhi the most gorgeous praise - there is no genius more than this, and since then there is one more way to shoot in the history of free kicks - elevator ball. As we all know, Zheng Zhi's free-kick skills came from the teachings of his mentor Schuster, but the elevator goal he scored last night came from his originality.

"Kicker" also summarizes its characteristics: it seems to be beautiful at the beginning, with arcs, but it falls very quickly halfway through. The whole arc is not high, and the goalkeeper can't react.

"Bild" ran to interview Bayern goalkeeper Kahn, and Kahn immediately replied: "I can't save it, I watched the goal highlights of this game after the game, Zheng's shot is terrible." It felt like the ball was quickly rising to the sixth floor, but then rapidly descending to the first floor. I watched the Bordeaux goalkeeper's reaction and he reacted, he should have seen the ball fly to his left, he tried to move to that side, but the ball suddenly changed direction and flew into the net from his other side, and then he just stayed where he was...... If he is given another chance, he will definitely not move early! Of course, if it were me, I would have reacted the same way. Thankfully, I didn't. ”

The reporter of the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" went to interview Frankfurter coach Schuster:

"Bernd, is that the way you taught you to shoot?"

"No, it's not me, but I don't think he created any free-kick shots, it was a kick from Meng, it was completely against the laws of physics, it was almost impossible to happen, maybe, when there was a sudden gust of wind in the sky? Haha, anyway, I think Zheng is Meng, look at it, see if he can play such a ball on the weekend? I think the odds are very small......"

The teacher is well-informed, and he doesn't believe that Zheng Zhi has really created any kicking style. "If there were, it wouldn't have been discovered now, football has been around for more than 100 years."

A French physicist known for his romance actually became interested in elevator balls, and a physicist named Cohen wrote a special article explaining elevator balls:

- Physically, if a moving sphere rotates at the same time, the ball will be subjected to a DF force and will change direction. If you spin forward, you will fall down, not inside, so we call it a deciduous ball. But the other type of drop is called the elevator ball.

- The elevator ball is different from its principle, the elevator ball does not rotate. However, the speed is extremely fast, generally kicking to 100-120 km/h, and the elevator ball is erratic due to air resistance, so it is difficult for the goalkeeper to judge, and the final sharp fall is its characteristic.

——The front part of the arch of the elevator ball, the kicking speed is very short, the center of gravity of the kicking ball should be lower, and there is no need to rub against the ball, mainly the calf exerts force, and the speed should be extremely fast. Physically, the ratio of initial velocity to final velocity is called the Reynolds number, and the higher the value, the worse the fall.

- If the muzzle velocity on the left is not too fast at the same angle of shot, its fall is relatively gentle. If the muzzle velocity is particularly fast, there is a ratio below, the muzzle velocity to the final velocity ratio reaches 100, and then it plummets. So for the goalkeeper, if you see that ball going towards the goal, you think it's going to fly out, but in fact it might fall into the net.

It's called professionalism!

In England, the Times went to interview David Beckham, who was in a bad mood after losing to Fiorentina away, but when talking about Zheng Zhi's free-kick, he still expressed his opinion.

'I've never seen a shot like this before, so I wanted to watch the footage a few more times and try it. Carlos' shot at the 1997 Four Nations Invitational was incredible enough, but it was even more incredible. Compared to Carlos's shot, I think it's easier to succeed because the ball is in control. ”

Italy's newspaper "Milan Sport" ran to Lazio to ask Mihajlovic.

Mihajlovic touched his round chin and said: "This goal is quite beautiful, and the way this shot is quite weird and gorgeous, but I don't think the success rate will be very high, I think it is very good to be able to score with one out of ten shots." It's a flashy way of shooting, and the free-kick depends on the success rate, and the most powerful is undoubtedly the curling shot with the inside instep. ”

Flashy and sensational. That's Mihajlovic's assessment, and he doesn't deny the beauty of the goal, but he thinks the success rate of such shots is extremely low.

As one of the best free-kick takers on the planet, Mihajlovic can look down on anyone, and his opinion is not unreasonable.

After all, Zheng Zhi is only kicking the elevator ball for the first time, and he wants to make the elevator ball popular in the world? He had to continue to conquer in this way.

Mikhailovich's comments quickly spread to Germany, and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung relayed his exact words to Zheng Zhi, who did not get angry after hearing this, but admitted: "Yes, the goal clearance rate is a problem." ”

"But, it's not flashy, it's just that the shooting footwork is more demanding, not everyone can kick the elevator ball and kick a high scoring rate, but I think there will be a few people who can play quite beautifully. It is precisely because it is difficult to kick out that the goalkeeper is even more helpless. ”

"Don't believe me?"

"We'll see."

……

……

Is it difficult?

On the training ground in Benfica, Portugal, there was a guy who practiced from 8 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock at noon, and almost shot all the birds in the sky, without kicking the ball into the goal once.

plane

Every kick was a plane, and it all went to the top right of the goal, flying high into the stands.

But he was not discouraged, he kept adjusting his kicking posture, kicking movements, kicking skills, and studying how to get the ball down and fly into the goal.

But Marquis, the No. 3 goalkeeper standing in front of the goal, has been laughing at him.

"Cristiano,"

"You want to laugh at me, don't you?"

"I don't even have a single save right now."

He had been standing in the middle of the goalline, but then he had simply sat down and leaned against the right-hand post.

There's no need to defend it, Cristiano's every shot hits the sky, and it's a waste of energy for him to stand there, so just sit down and rest, and wait for Cristiano to kick the ball into the goal and get up again!

Today, the team is on vacation and doesn't need to train at all, but he came to the training ground as usual to train with Cristiano, but he didn't expect Cristiano to actually want to practice Zheng Zhi's elevator ball last night?

"Do you really think you're a genius?"

"I think you'll have to practice for at least a month to get a little interesting."

"It's noon, you can play by yourself, I'm going home for dinner."

He finally stood up, took off his gloves, waved his hand, and left.

"Of course I'm a genius,"

"I'm still the hardest working genius!" Cristianonunu mouthed and raised his confident chin, "Wait, I don't need a month, I only need three days to kick a ball like this!" ”

After saying that, he stopped looking at Marquis and continued to practice with his head down.

……

……

Regina, Italy.

"Got it?"

"You send it to the training ground for me now."

Andrea Pirlo, with long flowing hair, hung up her Nokia phone and began to take off her training clothes. He did become interested in Zheng Zhi's elevator ball, and many of Zheng Zhi's ideas coincided with him.

It's just that he didn't start practicing blindly like Ronaldo, he dialed the phone of an important person in the family and asked him to help find a scientist to analyze Zheng Zhi's shot, and soon he got what he wanted.

"Hey,"

"Why do I have to play football?"

He shook his head as he gently touched the soccer ball at his feet.

"What can't I do with these family resources."

"I just love this damn football."

It was as if it was not a football under her feet, but a woman's head......

Pirlo is a super-rich second generation. The family business is one of the largest steel giants in Europe, and his father is the "steel king" of the Apennines.

But he just likes to play football and doesn't want to accept the family business.

Football is his favorite, even better than women......

……

……

Brazil, on the da Gama training ground, Juninho Jr. is also practicing!

Sou

Sou

Sou!

He shot three times in a row from 30 meters away, and the ball flew into the top right corner of the goal. The shooting posture, shooting method, and ball flight trajectory are almost the same as the kick Zheng Zhi kicked last night.

"Perfect!"

"Haha!"

"I'll just say, I'm the creator of the elevator ball."

"Zheng Zhi, that guy is stealing from me, how can he be stronger than me, absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He is extremely confident in his elevator ball shot, although Zheng Zhi can also play, but he does not believe that Zheng Zhi can play at his level.

Normally, not in a game, but in training, he can easily put the ball into the back of the net.

"Wait, Europe, I will definitely go to Europe, but I will let the world know that I am the strongest existence of the elevator ball, not Zheng Zhi!"
