Side story (3) The unwillingness in the depths of the soul
Seeing the referee running directly to the penalty spot, Li Ming just shouted a word of defense far away, and then there was no follow-up.
Even if it was indeed their own foul this time, everyone dispersed as if they had resigned themselves to their fate, waiting for the opponent to make free throws.
I have to say that the Chinese team is really "abiding by the rules" in this regard.
Fan Zhiyi's green face twisted, he first looked at Tang Wu, and then at Li Ming, with a blank expression. The position was already stuck just now, and there was no need for Li Ming to come over and stretch that kick at all.
"Oh, this ball, this ball Li Ming's kick is a bit redundant!" Zhang Lu was a little hated in front of the microphone, "Fan Zhiyi has already blocked all the offensive lines of the opponent's No. 10, and Li Ming doesn't need to stop even if he wants to make up for this ball!" ”
"Uzbekistan's penalty, then we can only hope for Ou Chuliang's performance."
Just two minutes after the game, the opponent won a penalty, Tang Wu didn't mention how bad it was at this time.
Taking advantage of the time when No. 10 was walking towards the penalty spot with the ball in his hand, Tang Wu lowered his head and walked around in front of the goal line, moving his body as much as possible.
Seeing that Abadurimov had already put the ball on the penalty spot, Tang Wu jumped on the spot in front of the left post, twisted his neck, and slowly walked to the center of the goal.
"Old district, come on!" Fan Zhiyi, who was outside the forbidden area, shouted at Tang Wu and clapped vigorously at the same time.
No. 7 Wang Dongning pulled the opponent's striker with his hand to prevent the opponent from running into the penalty area for the first time.
"You're really giving me a big problem!" Tang Wu sighed.
Anyway, it's just a dream, and I don't know what the situation is now, what am I guarding?
Tang Wu turned around and turned his back to Abadurimov, as if he was about to give up.
Maybe when the goal is scored, I'll be able to go back!
Tang Wu thought so.
Seeing Tang Wu turn around, the referee and Abadurimov were also blinded, they didn't know what Tang Wu was doing.
Some goalkeepers will deliberately tie their shoes, drink water, do exercises, etc. before the penalty kick, deliberately delaying time.
But what are you doing here?
Is it a hard drag? Don't even act?
At this moment, the shouts of the fans suddenly rang out in the stands behind the goal.
"Chinese team, come on! Chinese team, come on! ”
"Ou Chuliang, come on! Ou Chuliang, come on! ”
In the stands opposite Tang Wu, countless Chinese fans stood up and waved Chinese red in their hands to shout at Tang Wu's victory. In the midst of these undulating shouts, Tang Wu even heard a few broken sounds.
Alas! No matter what time it is, the most pitiful thing is the Chinese fans!
Tang Wu sighed, it's a pity that this is not the place I should be, I can't help you!
Just when Tang Wu was about to give up, for some reason, Tang Wu suddenly felt the heart in his chest beating faster.
Suddenly, the blood in the whole body began to speed up and boil, and a unprovoked impulse and unwillingness rose from the bottom of my heart.
"District, district brother?"
Tang Wu glanced at the soul of Ou Chuliang, who was still sleeping on the side. Although he hadn't woken up yet, Tang Wu could clearly feel the unwillingness in the depths of the other party's soul.
October 17, 1989, 14th World Cup Qualifiers, China VS United Arab Emirates.
In the case of a 1-0 lead, the head coach of the Chinese team, Gao Fengwen, replaced Dong Liqiang 5 minutes before the end, and Dong Liqiang, who was excited after just coming on the field, made two consecutive mistakes with the ball, both of which were cut off by the opponent, and scored two goals in three minutes by the opponent.
In the final round of the group stage, China VS Qatar. Marin scored a goal first, but the opponent scored two goals in a row before the end, and the Chinese team lost 1-2 to Qatar, only one step away from Rome.
On May 28, 1993, he lost 0-1 to Yemen in the World Preliminary Round; On May 30, they also lost 0-1 to Iraq, and the '94 World Cup also failed.
All the words about "regret" buried deep in Ou Chuliang's memory suddenly gushed out like spring water.
The restless soul kept beating Tang Wu's heartstrings, and countless unwilling memories of the players and fans poured into Tang Wu's mind.
The fans on the stadium did their best to support, and the fans on the stadium were unwilling to tears.
Especially the middle-aged man who was crying in front of the camera, at this moment, he seemed to have given up all his dignity as a man and the burden on his body. Like a child, he roared loudly at the camera, roaring: "If you are going to fail in the end, why give us hope, why?" Why do you say??? ”
If it's already a doomed ending, why bother trying?
Tang Wu's body trembled, and the strength of not admitting defeat buried in his bones rushed up instantly.
Football is round, and until the last minute, no one can guarantee the result.
Who told you it was a doomed end? At this moment, the souls of Tang Wu and Ou Chuliang blended perfectly, and Tang Wu finally understood where this restless emotion came from, which was the deep fighting heart of the older generation of national football players and the patriotism of countless Chinese fans.
Tang Wu turned his head and opened his eyes, his eyes scattering two rays of light, and he firmly locked on Abadurimov's feet.
"Whew, Ou Chuliang finally turned his head." Zhang Lu let out a sigh of relief, if Tang Wu was one second slower, the referee might have to play his cards. "Ou Chuliang, born in 1968, is only 26 years old this year, which can be regarded as the youngest in the number of goalkeepers. He was selected for the national team in 1991, and it was only in these two years that he became the main goalkeeper. ”
"In this Asian Games, Ou Chuliang performed well and contributed many wonderful saves. The Chinese team was able to go all the way to get here, thanks to Ou Chuliang's great credit. ”
"In the first half of today's final, Uzbekistan scored two goals in a row, although Ou Chuliang is not to blame for both goals, but it must be somewhat awkward. The opponent was awarded a penalty at the beginning of the second half, and Ou Chuliang may have some psychological imbalance. ”
"I hope that Ou Chuliang can withstand the pressure, defeat the demons, and overcome the difficulties with the Chinese team!"
Amid Zhang Lu's chatter of encouragement, Abadurymov began to run slowly under the referee's whistle.
Left?
Or right?
This problem has plagued every goalkeeper for more than 100 years.
Some goalkeepers like to "gamble", and have determined the direction of the save and the preparation of the save before the save; However, some goalkeepers like to "guess", and like to determine the direction of the opponent's shot at the moment of the opponent's shot, according to the opponent's eyes, habits, habitual feet, physical condition, and situation on the field.
Both have their own benefits, the former will make the goalkeeper's save more calm, and the saved body will be more stretched; The latter will even use the game to lead the opponent to the direction he "guessed", so as to make a save.
Tang Wu belonged to the latter, and now his body was replaced by the shorter Ou Chuliang, so he was more cautious.
Ou Chuliang has a small defensive range, but he reacts quickly and is flexible. Even if you make a slow save, if you judge the correct direction of the save, you can make up for it.
In front of the goal line, Tang Wu stared intently at Abadurimov's feet, observing the cadence of the opponent.
Abadurymov is a right-footed player, whether it is from the direction of the run or the previous habits, Tang Wu can see.
But the question is, where will he kick the ball with his right foot?
Seeing that Abadurymov was about to run in front of the ball, Tang Wu quickly took a step forward, stepped out from the goal line, and narrowed the angle of the opponent's shot.
In this era, there is no limit to the penalty for the goalkeeper to move early, and the "small actions" of the goalkeeper are not included in the referee's penalty at all.
Do you have to make a judgment after the other party has made a move?
No way!
No matter how fast Brother Ou reacts, it will be too late at that time!
Instead of doing this, it is better to find a direction to pounce in advance.
With little control over the other party's information, Abadurimov is not a drag on the ground.
couldn't judge which side the opponent was more likely to play, and he didn't watch the "game" with the opponent in advance, Tang Wu could only guess a direction casually before the opponent made a move.
At this moment, Tang Wu suddenly caught Abadurymov's swinging right leg when it was lifted to the highest point, and his whole body actually had a tendency to lean back.
Well? This is...
Blunder?
Habit?
Or is it an inevitability caused by the torso made up of bones?
In that thousandth of a second, Tang Wu's mind spun rapidly, and he went through almost all the possible answers and results.
No!
Neither!
That's the "purpose"!
Tang Wu's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, his arched left leg quickly exerted force, and shot his entire body horizontally to the left side at the fastest speed.
Bang!
The ball hit Tang Wu's chest and popped forward, but at this time, Abadurymov's face was facing the other side because of the problem of the direction of the run.
After the first successful save, Tang Wu quickly got up with his hands on the ground, and the hungry tiger pounced forward, pressing the lively ball directly under him.
"Oh!!!!!"
A burst of shouts of joy erupted in the land arena of the wide area park, and all the Chinese fans stood up, waving the red flag in their hands and their own clothes, and shouting Ou Chuliang's name.
Whew~Whew~Whew~
Tang Wuda, who was firmly pressing the ball under him, gasped, and his face was also very excited because of the penalty kick that saved the opponent.
Feeling the gratitude coming from the depths of Ou Chuliang's soul, Tang Wu smiled slightly, "Brother Ou, I didn't embarrass you this time, did I?!" ”
