"Come on, come on, small betting, I'll be a banker today, you hurry up and bet."

With Carragher's call, his teammates who had just finished the training session immediately surrounded him.

The few who didn't surround it were still standing on the training ground waiting for the upcoming showdown.

"I'm rooting for Aurelio, this guy has always had great footwork."

"No, no, no, I'm rooting for Gerrard, he's a bit more successful."

"I also support the captain because he is the captain."

'I support Xavi Alonso, he feels his footwork is underrated.

"Xavi Alonso is underrated? No wonder, I'm rooting for Aurelio! ”

……

His teammates placed their bets, and Carragher wrote them down with a piece of paper and a pen.

According to the rules of the Liverpool dressing room, whoever loses is invited to eat, and it is a big meal.

This is one of the major games that the players do on a daily basis.

Just when everyone was supporting Gerrard, Aulerio and Xavi Alonso, Mascherano stepped forward and said loudly: "I support Yang Yang!" ”

"I also support Yang Yang." Kuyt laughed too.

Everyone was stunned.

"Are you crazy?" Carragher is strange, because so far, no one has supported Yang Yang, okay?

If in the end, only two people support Yang Yang, that is to say, once Yang Yang does not win, these two unlucky people will have to invite everyone in the team to have a meal.

Mascherano smiled, didn't explain, and walked away.

"Let me tell you, Jamie, have you ever seen Yang Yang take the initiative to provoke?" Kuyt asked with a smile.

Carragher shook his head, as if there was none, but today......

"yes, so, you think, if he wasn't sure, would he do that?"

After saying that, Kuyt also walked away with a pen on his face.

Carragher and many others were dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that Kuyt had a point.

Seeing that many people were staring at him with burning eyes, Carragher shrugged his shoulders, "I'm sorry, I won't change it." ”

Everyone cut one after another, and they all pointed their middle fingers towards the vice captain.

The original image of being tall and heroic collapsed in an instant.

……

After the training session, Benitez and other coaching staff had to stay to clean up the field and equipment, and did not leave immediately.

They were quickly attracted by the movement on the side of the training ground.

This kind of thing is rare in the Liverpool team, so it is very sensational.

"Than what?" Benitez asked curiously.

Jesterdam chuckled, "Than a free kick." ”

"Free kicks?" Benitez was stunned for a moment, this is a big disadvantage for Liverpool.

Although Aurelio's free-kick footwork is good, it is more on the cross from the left, and the Brazilian left wing-back really does not perform very well on the real direct free-kick.

Gerrard's free-kicks and Xavi Alonso's free-kicks were good, but they couldn't be said to be good.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Yang returned to the team, he actually challenged the three free kick penalty players in the team, which is simply to tell everyone that he has practiced the ability to kick a free kick.

"Is it going to work?" Benitez was skeptical.

To say that it has only been more than two months since he left the team, Yang Yang can really practice a free kick?

If others say it, Benitez will definitely scoff at it, but Yang Yang is different, he has coached him for a year, and Benitez knows better than anyone that if this kid is really willing to work it, he will definitely be able to practice free kicks.

"Who knows?" Jesterdam smiled wryly.

"Look at it." Benitez stepped forward with interest.

……

"What are you doing with two poles?"

"Pull a rope and think of it as a wall of people jumping up."

"Don't be so troublesome, you look outside, it's all people, what else to pretend, just put it!"

With the order of Gerrard and Carragher, this group of Liverpool players who are not afraid of big things and are not afraid of big things in order to have a few big meals have taken the initiative to ask for help, and they are all high points in the team.

In the end, Carragher himself couldn't stand it, so he quickly pushed Crouch, who was more than two meters tall, away, and let Daniel Agg, Kuyt and others put up a human wall, otherwise, the height of more than two meters would simply increase the difficulty.

Goalkeeper Reina didn't even take off his gloves, and went directly to the goal, gearing up and eager to try.

"Pepe, don't deliberately release water." Carragher reminded.

Reina raised his hands in the air, signaling that he would give it his all.

The rules of the penalty kick are also very simple, there are a total of five penalty spots from left to right on the periphery of the penalty area, about 20 to 25 meters away from the goal, and everyone has three chances to see who can score more direct free kicks.

Yang Yang, Gerrard, Aurelio and Xavi Alonso got together to prepare the order of the free throws.

This made Carragher and the others who were watching around a little impatient, and they urged.

In the end, it was Steven Gerrard who took the lead in the penalty.

……

The first point is a point on the periphery of the left corner of the penalty area, the farthest and most deflected.

Gerrard moved his legs, smiled defiantly at Yang Yang, walked to the penalty spot, set the ball, and slowly retreated.

There was a cheer all around.

The Liverpool captain also put on a full swing, and after taking a deep breath, when Carragher blew the whistle, he quickly rushed forward.

As a result, the first kick hit the wall directly.

There was a burst of laughter on the training ground.

"Nervous, a little nervous, sorry." Gerald raised his hand in some embarrassment.

Carragher covered his face, looking like I can't bear to look at you, buddy, obviously embarrassed by my good brother.

The quality of the second free throw was okay, bypassing the human wall, but it was not suppressed, and it was slightly higher.

Then, on the third free-kick, Gerrard hit the target and almost scored, but Reyna reacted quickly and saved the ball directly.

Gerrard was not disappointed at all after failing to take three free-kicks in a row, just shook his head with a wry smile.

The hit rate of direct free kicks itself is not high, generally speaking, under the pressure of the official game, twenty or thirty free kicks can score one, which is already quite good, and ten can score one goal, which can be ranked first in European football.

Although the intra-team competition after training does not have the pressure of the game, and the quality of the punishment is higher, but in any case, it can't be a hundred shots, and one out of ten can be considered very high, not to mention that the free throw point is still on the left.

Gerrard hit zero of three free throws, which is also considered a normal level for an individual.

Immediately after Gerrard, Aurelio missed all three of his free throws, and none of them even faced the goal.

Xavi Alonso was the third to take the penalty, and the quality of his free throws was the same as his personality, both of which were calm and low-key, and the quality was okay, with two shots on target, but neither could score.

Obviously, it's not easy to make a direct hit when you take a free throw in this position.

"It's your turn!" Gerald frowned and looked at Yang Yang with interest.

As soon as he returned to the team, he launched a challenge, which was obviously Yang Yang practicing hard for free kicks, and he also wanted to know how far Yang Yang could practice, after all, there was a free kick master in the team, which was also quite a deterrent thing.

Yang Yang saw that none of them entered, smiled from ear to ear, and went directly to the penalty spot, and after putting the football away, he slowly retreated.

Everyone in the audience watched him silently, even head coach Rafael Benitez and the rest of the coaching staff.

The air on the training ground seemed to become tense all of a sudden.

Yang Yang suddenly turned his head and smiled at everyone, "Don't look at me like that, I'll be nervous." ”

The nerves that were originally tense in everyone were leaked all at once.

"Hurry up and take your ball, what are you talking about?" Carragher laughed.

Everyone also coaxed, and some even used the agitation method, saying that Yang Yang was afraid or not.

Yang Yang turned his head, took a deep breath, and adjusted his emotions.

He had just watched Gerrard's free throws and had some experience.

After Carragher's whistle, he jumped out quickly, rushed to the ball, stood with his left foot, leaned his body to follow the ball at an angle, and kicked his right foot out quickly.

He has indeed been practising free-kicks for the past two months or so, and he has taken a few free-kicks in the Asian Cup, but none of them have scored, so he has not received the slightest attention.

Liverpool don't really have a free-kick master in the team, so he also wants to take this opportunity to show everyone how he has improved, and it is best to get the opportunity to take free-kicks in the future, so that he can have more opportunities to practice.

The skill of free kick is still practice makes perfect, and more practice will give you experience.

But in addition to practicing more on weekdays, I also need to hone more and try more in the competition, because the pressure I face in the competition is unimaginable in my usual training.

At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the opponent's goalkeeper's throwing habits, as well as other factors such as human walls.

Yang Yang deliberately asked for the last penalty just now, just to observe Reina and the human wall.

So this time, he took a very firm penalty and kicked a straight curling shot, but instead of flying towards the near post, he crossed an arc and landed at the far post.

Reyna judged the right line of the ball, rushed over quickly, and flew to save the ball, but what caught him a little off guard was that the ball suddenly fell in mid-air as it approached the goal.

Whether it was Yang Yang or Gerrard and others, the free kicks were fast and urgent, leaving little time for the goalkeeper to react, and Yang Yang's kick suddenly fell when he was close to the goal, which immediately caught Reina off guard.

The Spanish goalkeeper reacted quickly and hurried to make a shot, but he was still a step too slow.

He could even feel the ball flying in by grazing the air outside his gloves.

And when Reyna hit the ground, the ball also crashed into the net behind him.

At this time, everyone on the Melwood training ground was stunned.

Direct Free Kick!

And it's not in the middle of the edge of the box, it's very far to the left.

Actually hit with a kick?

Not to mention the players, even Benitez and Yesterdam were shocked by Yang Yang's sudden free kick.

Could it be that this guy has really developed the ability to kick a free kick as a penalty?
