Chapter 466: Trying to Catch the Dead
Goalkeeper Cheney?
Who is he?
Li Datou doesn't know, but those fans from all over the world do.
The World Cup player, who was selected for the Brazilian national team in '02, has scored 22 goals in the league since 1997 and has more than a dozen in other competitions.
According to Brazilian media, Cheney is the goalkeeper most likely to break Chilavert's record, who scored 62 goals as a goalkeeper between 1992 and 2001.
"My technique is definitely not to kick the ball out with 'force' like some people do, which can sometimes be counterproductive. I'm going to take a guided kick so I'm going to kick the ball where I want it to go. In an interview with the media, Cheney said this. It is also Cheney's superb free-kick skills that can often make the ball go around the wall and into the net with ease.
Seeing the opponent's goalkeeper running forward, Tang Wu immediately reacted to what the opponent wanted to do.
After going through Cheney's information in his brain, Tang Wu decisively commanded the human wall.
"Harvey, to the left, to the left."
"Fake, are you afraid that your big step will rip your balls?"
"One step further to the left, yes, yes, that's it, stand for me!"
Alonso, who was lined up on the edge of the human wall, looked innocent, he covered his crotch with both hands, and kept looking back at Tang Wu, for fear that his wrong position would make Tang Wu angry.
The people in the wall were next to each other, Alonso kept moving to the left, and the others naturally moved to the left.
Tang Wu stood on the edge of the left pillar and squinted, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, stand firm, yes, focus!"
After Tang Wu finished arranging the human wall, he came to the human wall and stood in the middle of the right column. His knees are slightly bowed, and his eyes are staring directly at the ball.
"It's... Tang Wu's wall is a little to the left! ”
In front of the screen, even Zhan Jun saw the clues.
Huang Jianxiang also nodded, the deviation can be seen in the lens, and the actual situation must be even more biased.
It stands to reason that the wall is meant to block one part of the goal, and then the goalkeeper guards the other part alone; But Tang Wu's wall of people today was a little too far to the left, even beyond the position of nearly two people on the left column.
In this way, Alonso and Warnock on the very edge are nothing, and the wall of five people becomes three.
Cheney stood in front of the ball, looking at Tang Wu's human wall, and unconsciously moved two steps to the left. looked at the ball, then at Alonso on the very edge, shook his head and went back to his place.
Tang Wu looked at Cheney, who kept moving in front of the ball, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as the Liverpool wall was stationed, the referee blew the whistle.
Cheney paused slightly, then ran up, got up and slotted the ball towards the Reds penalty area.
The ball was picked up by Cheney and flew over the wall towards the top right corner of the penalty area. Not only did he stay away from Tang Wu, but he also began to decline rapidly.
The players who struggled for the top in the box crowded together, and centre-back Hyypia was the first to step up and head the ball out of the box.
The 1.95-meter-tall Hyypia has a natural advantage in heading, not to mention that this is still his own penalty area.
After the ball was cleared, Cheney immediately ran towards the backfield, and the other defenders of Sao Paulo also ran to the ball to land.
"Cheney chose to pass, but the quality of the cross was a little low, and Hyypia was the first to get it."
"Ed Carlos got the ball, and in a flash..."
"Cross..."
"The ball is out again!"
"Júnior..."
"Huh?"
"Pulled down?!"
"The referee's whistle blew, and it was another Liverpool foul!"
Júnior, who has a lot of experience, did not pick up the ball in the first place when facing Liverpool's high ball, but stuck his body in the path of the Reds defenders.
Sissoko couldn't get around from behind Júnior to the front of him, and when he saw the ball landing, he was in a hurry and pulled Júnior in front of him to the ground.
No matter how innocently the Liverpool players raised their hands, the referee awarded a free-kick in front.
This time, the free-kick was placed closer to the middle of the goal.
Cheney, who had not yet retreated to the top of the arc, saw that his side had won another free kick, and once again ran from the back to the front with his arm in his hand.
With two goalkeeper free-kicks in a row, it seems that the Brazilian is determined to play on set-pieces.
Tang Wu still expelled the same wall of people as he had just now, and Alonso stood "alone" outside the left column, as if he had been abandoned by his four teammates.
This time, Cheney hesitated again in front of the ball.
This free-kick was even more central than just now, and Tang Wu's human wall still had one player wandering outside the post, resulting in a smaller goal area covered by the human wall.
As a goalkeeper, Cheney naturally understood Tang Wu's thoughts. He hesitated whether to plan or "prefer to go to Tiger Mountain".
Tang Wu's human wall is too tempting, and no novice goalkeeper can discharge a "more crooked" human wall than this, not to mention that Tang Wu has just won the Golden Ball.
The distance of 25 yards was enough to shoot a long shot directly through Tang Wu's goal.
But this time, Cheney hesitated.
Tang Wu's wide and not obvious defense is already a well-known thing, and Cheney didn't dare to bet that the newly won Mr. Golden Globe would be complacent because of the award, it was like buying a lottery ticket!
The gap that Tang Wu seemed to leak out was actually like a bait waiting for the fish to take the bait. Despite the scent, Cheney never dared to approach.
Boom!
After the leather foot and the ball collided, Cheney's right foot gently pushed the ball towards the penalty spot.
Because the penalty spot used to be in the middle, the Sao Paulo striker earned the penalty almost with his back to the goal.
This time, Amoruso earned the first point.
The Brazilian stretched his neck hard and pushed it back, the ball bounced on his head and flew towards Tang Wu's goal.
The ball drew a parabola in the air and crossed Tang Wu's palm above the crossbar.
"Huh!!"
"It's a bit of a hang this time!"
"It was actually pushed by the opposing player."
"I almost got in."
Zhan Jun patted his chest with palpitations. In fact, even if the ball is hoisted into the goal frame, Tang Wu in front of the goal line will easily take the ball off.
In fact, Tang Wu would prefer this to be the case, because in this way the ball will come to his own hands. Instead of now, when he hastily plucked the ball from the top net and put it on the line of the six-yard penalty area, Amoruso was still dangling in his own box.
FIFA rules stipulate that opposing players are not allowed to be in the big penalty area when the goalkeeper kicks off the goal; On the other hand, when the opposing team was in the big penalty area, Tang Wu couldn't open the goal.
With all the players out of the box, Amoruso looked at the position of his goalkeeper and walked out slowly.
That's what an experienced player does!
When the ball is converted, it can interpret the thoughts of the opposing players and sort out the situation on the field at the first time.
When Tang Wu couldn't wait to pick up the ball from the top net, the Liverpool players quickly withdrew from the penalty area. The experienced veteran did not rush back to the defense like other teammates, but saw that his goalkeeper was in place before he "allowed" Tang Wu to take the goal.
Tang Wu had no choice but to wait for Amoruso to get out of the penalty area and pass the ball to the feet of the other fullback.
"It seems that you can't underestimate your opponent at any time!"
Looking at the São Paulo players who had reorganized their defense, they stood on the line of the big penalty area and sighed softly, but the corners of their mouths showed an expectant smile.
Such an opponent can only be achieved when defeated, right?
