Chapter 074: Muscle Jungle
When it comes to free kicks, you have to kick it to someone, someone who doesn't know football and doesn't watch football but at least has heard of, probably understood, or even liked it quite a lot.
This person is a handsome man from the rotten country, his name is Beckham, everyone calls him Shell, and some people call him Xiaobei.
Beckham is best known for his free-kick kick with a full moon scimitar, which has almost become his trademark.
Of course, Beckham actually has more than just a free-kick.
Historical-level long-pass ability, historical-level physical strength, historical-level professionalism, and quite excellent basic skills.
The historical level mentioned here is worthy of being qualified to compete for the best in history.
In the 1998-1999 season, David Beckham, who led Manchester United to treble glory, finished second in the Ballon d'Or and also won the second place in the World Footballer of the Year.
In the 2000-2001 season, David Beckham won the second most recent World Footballer of the Year award for his performances at Manchester United and the national team, while finishing fourth in the Ballon d'Or.
To have results, to have glory, and then Beckham's strength is often questioned, because he is so handsome, so handsome that people think he is just handsome.
In our world, in the years when David Beckham was slowly retiring, many people began to turn the case on him, showing from various angles that he was more than just free-kicks and handsome.
But in reality, Beckham qualifies as a big star, even with a free-kick.
A real free kick doesn't mean you have to kick it in, it's more important to act as a deterrent.
Within 30 meters of their own gate, no team would dare to let their opponents show their strength at will.
And at times like these, the best defense is to foul.
But when the opponent has an excellent free kick master, whether to foul or not is a question worth pondering.
Counting the free kicks that go straight to the goal, counting the free kicks that are directly assisted, and then the free kicks that pose a threat, the master of free kicks can even let half of his free kicks threaten the opponent's goal.
Therefore, this kind of person also has a nickname - Mr. Half.
Blind people may think that a free kick is a master, but in fact, one goal in ten free kicks is the top level in Europe.
After more than 30 games in a season, he can score five or six direct free kicks, which is a master-level figure.
But in proportion, the free-kick master scored six goals in a season, which means that he has taken almost sixty free kicks, and of these, thirty have directly threatened the opponent's goal!
In the mouths of fans, and even in the eyes of many football celebrities, free kicks are a kind of set-piece, an ability that is not worth hype, and cannot even be used as a plus point in the evaluation of a player's ability.
Set-pieces, including penalties and free-kicks, are not easy to play, at least not as good as fans say, but almost all fans despise these two abilities.
But when you actually get on the field, you can know how threatening this ability is.
Hannover's players couldn't have allowed Zhuo Cunzhi to enter the 30-meter area, but at the same time they didn't dare to make too rough moves.
Zhuo Cunzhi's breakthrough ability is destined for him to be able to enter the threat area of Hannover, and his free kick ability is destined for Hannover 96's players not to dare to make too much defensive moves.
In the end, Rangnick was only able to put two defenders on the ground in order to force Zhuo Cunzhi out of the threat zone.
However, the premise of the player's position is not as simple as advancing a few meters, which means that the team's defense must have many more holes.
In our world, when Beckham went to Real Madrid, Zidane responded to the fans' doubts about him, "Only people who really play with Beckham can recognize that he is a real superstar." ”
Zhuo Cunzhi's free-kick ability is naturally far inferior to Beckham's, but these players in Hannover are not stars in the five major leagues.
It is better to say that at the level of the Bundesliga, there are quite few players who are good at free kicks, and there are quite few ways to defend free kick masters.
Even if it is the premise of the opponent's defensive line, Zhuo Cunzhi should still rush forward, pass when he should pass, and from time to time he will take a long shot.
Hanover's defense was disturbed by him, and they were a little nervous.
What's even more troublesome is that Hannover 96's style of play is overall football, and the mentality of the defense even affects the offensive organization of his midfield teammates.
Rangnick was on the sidelines, his face growing ugly.
The third time, he called his players to the sidelines for the third time.
Zhuo Cunzhi didn't care at first, Rangnick's posture was put on twice, didn't it have an impact on him!
However, less than two minutes after kick-off again, Zhuo Cunzhi realized that he was in trouble.
In terms of passing, Zhuo Cunzhi can't say how accurate he is, but the moment he touches the ball to the moment he passes, the speed is extremely fast.
In terms of ability data, his ability to control the ball is not strong, his ability to protect the ball is not strong, and even his dribbling ability is not strong, but his passing ability, especially his ability to touch the ball, is definitely quite good.
This time, Zhuo Cunzhi still plays like this.
But as soon as the ball passed under his feet, he suddenly felt an impact from behind.
"Poof!" Zhuo Cunzhi fell to the ground instantly, feeling like he had been hit by a cow.
"Hey boy, you're really unbumpy!" Diouf also held out his hand in a mock way.
"Phew!" Zhuo Cunzhi ignored him and stood up directly.
The ball was not at his feet, so the referee didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't go to the referee to theorize.
The most important thing is that the opponent's defensive means just now, saying that it is a foul, are relatively reluctant.
Trouble!
Zhuo Cunzhi was clearly aware of this, but on the surface, he glared at Diouf without fear.
The guy on the other side is almost 1.9 meters tall and weighs an estimated 90 kilograms.
For Zhuo Cunzhi, this guy can really be said to be a behemoth.
Zhuo Cunzhi's physical confrontation ability is not weak, but it is by no means strong.
The opponent is from Africa, and his physical confrontation ability is his strength, which can be said to be stable and ambitious.
Returning to his position, Zhuo Cunzhi deliberately glanced at Rangnick's position.
This coach is not cheeky, he is a difficult opponent to deal with!
In the following time, Zhuo Cunzhi realized what it means to be a muscle jungle.
Diouf, Link, Steverly, Rumnikovic......
Hannover's strong defenders took turns to take care of Zhuo Cunzhi, making Zhuo Cunzhi wonder if he had run to the position of the forward midfielder by mistake.
Zhuo Cunzhi is lost in the muscular jungle of Hanover, and there is no strong point on Aachen's side.
In the twenty-ninth minute of the game, Bernd, who was still a little unaccustomed to the defensive position, once again showed his flaws.
Hannover Captain Altin. Lala didn't miss this opportunity and hit the corner with a volley.
Aachen goalkeeper Straub fell to the ground weakly......
“toooooooooooooooooooor!!!”
