Chapter 51: Playing Like David Beckham

Second ball. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Liang's movements were the same as just now, and the flight trajectory of the ball was almost identical.

The African bear didn't blink, and sure enough, the ball began to fall sharply after flying to the highest point, and with a strong spin, it flew into the dead corner again, this time closer to the lower edge of the beam.

He began to regret what he had just said to Li Liang. As for these two free kicks, although they did not hit the crossbar as agreed, the quality is so high that African bears have not seen too many in their careers.

Moreover, the second ball is significantly more accurate than the first.

The third ball, once again perfectly replicated the arc of the first two balls, almost grazing the crossbar into the net. The African bear gave Li Liang a thumbs up without hesitation, and then applauded twice. It's not an encouragement, it's a heartfelt admiration.

On the fourth ball, Li Liang paused for a while. He recalls 10 20-meter free-kicks from the African Bears.

The African bear's head and two feet, one kick a little higher, one kick slightly lower, and the third kick starts, hitting 3 times in a row. Li Liang guessed that the African bear was constantly adjusting and correcting, and only used two feet to find the accurate "point".

Now, I have kicked three balls, and I feel better and better each time, and I have been more accurate in terms of leg swing speed, range of movement, and strength of touch to the ball. In fact, he used the strategy of "finding points" of African bears, which seems to be successful so far, but originally thought that the third ball should be successful.

Li Liang stood five or six steps away from the ball, stared at the goal, and continued to aim at the junction of the crossbar and the post just now - in the special training, his left and right foot free kicks were the most sure of the dead corners on both sides.

He took a deep breath and leaned forward, taking a solid first step with his left foot. Every step after that seems to be accumulating power, until the supporting foot hits the ground again, and all parts of the body seem to be running on their own, relying on the muscle memory accumulated from thousands of hard exercises, contracting, twisting, and stretching with precision.

Every time he touched the ball, Li Liang felt that his weight was almost transferred to the inside of his foot, and then through instant contact, all of it was absorbed into the round ball in front of him with a circumference of 70 centimeters and a weight of less than 450 grams.

The African bear's pupils dilated suddenly, which was a sign of extraordinary emotion. Li Liang kicked this free kick for the fourth time with his usual movements, and finally made the African bear understand where that strong sense of déjà vu came from.

Twelve years ago, the African Bears were a rookie in the first team. In that year, Real Madrid Club came to China to participate in commercial competitions and played a match against the "Dragons", a star team equivalent to the quasi-national team, at the Workers' Stadium.

The African bear was not selected for the Dragons, but he was invited by the organisers to watch Real Madrid's training and matches as part of the overall exchange and along with several other up-and-coming talents.

While watching Real Madrid's superstars train, the African bear and the other five were eye-opening and saw for the first time what it means to be a world-class footballer.

After Real Madrid's training session, one of the coaches approached the interpreter and asked if he could ask these lads on the sidelines to do a favor and accompany David. David Beckham does extra training.

How could anyone refuse such an opportunity, everyone was very excited. The bonus is a free kick. The African Bears donned Real Madrid's equipment as goalkeepers, while the remaining five acted as human walls. The ensuing half-hour training session was unforgettable.

I've only seen Beckham's moon cutter on TV before. When he really faced it, he realized that Beckham's free-kick skills were really unparalleled. In particular, his free throw posture is unforgettable.

Beckham's extraordinarily large twist amplitude and large angle of gravity to the left when he takes free throws have become his exclusive signature move. The awe-struck African bear with a sense of awe, and Beckham's curling ball was beyond all his previous knowledge of football.

After the training, in addition to getting a full set of equipment as a gift, Beckham also kindly gave his training clothes to the African bear as a souvenir and gave him a thumbs up. However, the African Bear was ashamed, and when faced with David Beckham's free-kick, he knew that neither anticipation nor the speed and explosiveness of his reaction that he had always been proud of were of any avail. His save success rate is pitiful, and the only few successful saves are all pre-bet on the right direction and angle, which is completely lucky.

For the first time in his career, he developed a fear of his opponents. Later, the African Bear and his friends recalled that if Beckham was in the First A or the Chinese Super League, he could have taken a free kick as a penalty.

Now, he can finally be sure that Li Liang's free throw posture looks like Beckham. Li Liang's posture is smaller than Beckham's. But the tilt of his body and the swing of his center of gravity are far beyond the usual mainstream style of play, which is strikingly similar to Beckham's.

The ball fell again in the air, still at the angle it had just come from, and spun violently, flying towards the junction of the beam and the column on the left.

With a "dang" sound, the ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and the inside of the post at the same time, and smashed into the net. Even after the bouncing stopped, it still spun violently in the net.

The African bear was shaken. If in the game, the opponent kicks such an elevator ball, it will not help if he has three heads and six arms! It can be seen that Li Liang's ability to control free kicks is obviously stronger than his penalty kicks. What surprised the African bear even more was that after four attempts, the arc drawn by the ball in the air was very stable, and the unduan always had a strong spin and fall, which fully showed that Li Liang's footwork was very skillful and stable.

What shocked him even more was that the four free throws were all distributed in a palm-sized area. Can a football enthusiast with no professional training have this kind of free kick footwork that does not lose at all, and even surpasses many professional players? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it anyway.

The fifth ball continued to hit the same position...... Sixth and Seventh Balls...... Until the tenth goal, Li Liang only made one mistake, and the rest all hit the crossbar, and eight of them successfully entered the net.

According to the prior agreement, Li Liang finally hit the crossbar with a ratio of 6:5, one more than the African bear, and pulled back a game.

Li Liang's confidence has been fully restored, and he proposed that the penalty kick and free kick are considered to be a one-to-one draw, and simply one game in the extra game, and the winner of the three games and two wins will be counted as the final winner.

The African bear agreed, and he was completely serious. He said magnanimously, Liangzi, what is it for, you can choose.

Li Liang had already thought about it, and he said, let's continue to play the crossbar.

The African bear said without thinking, okay.

This time we are playing with the left foot, Li Liang said.
