Chapter 45: Precision Guidance of the Kirin Arm
As passionate music played at Stamford Bridge, players from both sides lined up in the tunnel waiting to come on.
As the color blue is the embodiment of Chelsea, wearing the home team uniform; The Blue Moon in the away challenge wore black shorts and a red and black jersey.
Tang Wu followed behind Terry and stood in second place on the team.
Sun Jihai stood in the middle of Manchester City, leaned out of the team, and shook hands with Tang Wu.
"Brother Sun, I'll invite you to dinner in the evening."
"Good!" Sun's answer was short and powerful.
Many years later, when Sun Jihai faced an interview with reporters, he recalled: "... Ever since I first saw Tang Wu, I knew that he was not a muddy person. With a decisive and hearty personality, he is destined to become an excellent goalkeeper. As a defender, I'm relieved to have team-mates like this at the back..."
After the players of the two sides shook hands, in addition to Sun Jihai, the other two players of Manchester City impressed Tang Wu.
One is Anelka, who started in place of Wanchope, in the front line, and the Frenchman's quick one-on-one ball may become Tang Wu's biggest threat.
The other is the tiny Wright Phillips, a good dribbling player on the wing. When his speed reaches his limit, the bottom cross becomes his specialty.
For Tang Wu, if there is a good way to deal with the opponent's attacker, this game may become extremely smooth.
These are all the information sent by Richards before the game, and Tang Wu has to slowly explore the specific situation in the game.
With a flute from the referee, the game began.
Huang Jianxiang once again took on the commentary of the game, fortunately it was only ten o'clock in the evening.
'Chelsea are second in the league at the moment, while Manchester City are only in the middle of the table. City have not once taken a point at Stamford Bridge in the last three seasons. Judging from the results of the encounter, Manchester City is completely at a disadvantage. ”
"Although the difference between Manchester City and Chelsea is a bit big, the focus of this game is not here."
"We can see that the camera lens deliberately gives a close-up of the neutral fan stands. Look, it's all Chinese fans! ”
"If it weren't for the shouts at Stamford Bridge to remind me, I would have thought it was a Chinese A-League game."
"Sun Jihai, who played for Manchester City, started every game this season and seems to have secured his starting position."
Tang Wu also performed well in Chelsea's recently concluded Champions League group stage. It is estimated that it is because of this that Lajili continued to send Tang Wu to start the game. ”
"But one of the two is a full-back and the other is a goalkeeper, so it's hard to have a direct conversation on the pitch..."
"Distin Clears! Defused Chelsea's attack! In Huang Jianxiang's suddenly raised tone, Distin's clearance actually "penetrated" the two lines of defense of the Blues.
Wright, who was on the wing, quickly intervened and caught up with the ball before everyone could react.
Veron was out of form and Frank Lampard has replaced him as a regular in the Blues' midfield and has quickly settled into the game.
But Glen Char on the wing was obviously a beat slower to get into the state, and Wright took a step on both legs and strode away from Glen Char's forcing defense.
"Stuck position, stuck position!" Tang Wu commanded Melchiot in a big victory, "Force him to the side!" ”
As a goalkeeper, Tang Wu must definitely enter the state at the first time.
Moreover, Tang Wu is the player with the best vision on the back line, and directing the defenders to deploy is also one of Tang Wu's tasks.
In this kind of sport, it is difficult to maintain formation. Even if it is a central defender, it may not be able to be optimistic about every attacking player on the opposing side.
The positions and movements of the players on both sides have formed a rough mirror image in Tang Wu's mind, and with a little prediction, Tang Wu will try to use the existing defenders as much as possible to fill every possible hole in the Blues defence.
Wright was clearly in great shape, but he just glanced at his teammates in the midfield and then stepped up again.
Tang Wu slowly moved sideways to the near goalpost, neither daring to go too far from the goal line, but also unable to step on the goal line.
There was a muffled "bang", but Melchiott still couldn't block Wright's bottom cross.
The ball arced out with Wright's right foot and spun outward.
Seeing the speed at which the ball was raised, Tang Wu immediately made a decision and returned to the center of the goal again with the fastest speed.
Just two or so steps back, the ball flew over the crowd fifteen yards into the goal.
Without waiting for Tang Wu's line of sight to transmit the signal to the brain, a big head in the crowd suddenly drilled out, facing the flying ball, and pushed the ball towards the goal.
Saying that it was too late, Tang Wu's left arm subconsciously raised.
The muscle reaction brought about by the years of training made Tang Wu's left arm lift to the top left of his head as fast as possible.
As soon as it was lifted into place, the tense arm trembled suddenly, and the tough muscles quickly adjusted back to position, and the ball that hit the glove flew off the crossbar unwillingly.
"Woo!!"
There was an exclamation from the fans.
"This..."Huang Jianxiang was also shocked, "This is really a wonderful save!" ”
In the crowd, Sun Jihai, who got up from the ground, gave Tang Wu a thumbs up, and ran towards the edge of the penalty area with his arm.
"I didn't expect the battle between Sun and Tang to come so soon!"
"Less than 2 minutes after the game started, Sun Jihai used a head hammer to sneak attack the gate guarded by Tang Wu."
"Fortunately, Tang Wu reacted in time, Sun Jihai's header was a little too positive, and Tang Wu's outstretched left hand blocked the ball off the crossbar."
As you can see from the replay screen, Tang Wu's left hand is wearing a specific glove, and the six fingers have become Tang Wu's only endorsement in football! Tang Wu also became the first goalkeeper in football history to have eleven fingers! ”
The Chinese fans in the stands were so excited that they stood up one by one and waved their flags desperately.
The top is beautiful, and the guard is even more beautiful!
As for winning or losing, it is no longer in the interest of these fans.
"Cheer me up! This is Stamford Bridge! Not your bedroom! Tang Wu clapped his hands and shouted at his teammates.
The usual laughter and scolding, gentleness and elegance are all gone, and on the football field, the goalkeeper has more say than the scavenger.
As for the outcome of earning power, just think of Karn's roar.
Although Tang Wu is young, he is the biggest "official" in the Blues back line at this time.
In addition, Terry, who wore the captain's armband, strongly supported Tang Wu, and the other players also honestly stood in the penalty area and waited for the corner kick.
"Hey! Squeeze out, didn't eat at noon? ”
Hearing Tang Wu's shout, Gara's waist and abdomen subconsciously exerted force, and squeezed Fowler out by another meter.
Sure enough, the voice is justice!
Under Annowan's teaching, Tang Wu himself comprehended another trick.
The corner kick is taken, and the people on the outside rush desperately inside, and the people inside desperately squeeze out.
Just as Fowler and Anelka were about to break for the top, a pair of large hands appeared above their heads and steadily plucked the ball away.
"Roar!! After landing on the ground, Tang Wu shouted.
The Manchester City players who were about to leave around were stunned for a moment, and looked back at Tang Wu like fools.
It's rare for a goalkeeper to perform like this and waste of physical strength!
Taking advantage of the gap when the Manchester City players turned back, Tang Wu, who was holding the ball, suddenly accelerated, surpassing many Manchester City players in an instant.
After running a few steps, Tang Wu turned sideways in front of the line of the big penalty area, and with a move that was more exaggerated than throwing a shot put, his left arm drew a rainbow in the air, and threw the ball in his left hand to the court.
Like a cannonball, the thrown ball crossed a parabola at low altitude, flew over the midline, and landed precisely at Mutu's feet.
Mu Tu, who received Tang Wu's "prompt sound", had already accelerated his speed, and with a slight arch of his foot, he pushed the ball that fell under his feet in front of him.
Sommeir and Distin scrambled to close the ball, but Mutu was already striding forward.
“OH MY GOOOOOOOOD!” Seeing the "precision guidance" of Tang Wu's left hand, the home commentator pulled a long note in surprise, "I think Chelsea has a rugby player!" ”
