Chapter 146: Zero-degree Shot
There is a kind of man on the football field who is called a hero by the world.
A player who scores goals in a downwind situation cannot be considered a hero. Those who break the deadlock at critical moments, or turn the tide in a disadvantaged state, are worthy of the title of hero!
Liu Yun, the old lieutenant of the Coventry team, is obviously worthy of the title of hero! Notts County contracted across the board and defended intensively. The stalemate on the pitch has lasted almost 75 minutes.
Forty-five-year-old super old player Liu Yun started his performance again!
Liu Yun gets the ball on the side! He was guarded close by a Notts County defender. The Notts County defender is tall and physical, and almost pushed Liu Yun to the touchline.
Liu Yun stepped on the ball with his right foot, made an emergency stop, and then smashed the ball with his right foot, and the ball passed under the crotch of the Notts County defender! The stylish crotch changes to a passing person!
After this defender, it can only be regarded as the first step of the long march. There are also countless Notts County players in the penalty area between Liu Yun and the goal!
Liu Yun crossed into the penalty area. A Notts County player makes a sliding tackle straight towards the ball.
Liu Yun gently picked up the ball on the right side with his toes, and his legs jumped up. Even the man dribbled the ball to avoid this sliding tackle from the Notts County player!
Nice lobble!
At this time, Liu Yun can choose to cross the ball horizontally to the middle and find the point of other teammates. It's a reasonable choice. His two dribbles have earned him good passing position.
However, Liu Yun sometimes doesn't like to do things that seem reasonable.
He didn't pass sideways, but changed direction again! Take the ball to the baseline!
A Notts County defender was close to Liu Yun and blocked his pass. The rest of the Notts County players were on the lookout for Coventry's attacking players. At this time, even if Liu Yun crosses with his feet, it will be difficult for the Coventry players, who are at a disadvantage in the penalty area, to fight for the landing point.
Liu Yun seems to have been driven to a dead end. The opponent next to him was firmly attached to him, between him and the goal. Behind him, a Notts County player had blocked his way out.
There are heavy troops on the side, interception in the back, and the bottom line in front. Seeing that the ball was about to be taken out of the sideline by Liu Yun.
Even Coventry City fans thought the ball would be a corner at best.
The magic of Liu Yun is that he can always turn decay into magic!
Liu Yun suddenly stepped on the ball at the sideline. After stepping on the ball, he picked the ball over his head and flew behind him, while he made a 180-degree turn.
The Notts County players next to him were caught off guard by Liu Yun's sudden movements. He also turned around, wanting to move backwards, blocking Liu Yun's path again.
However, after Liu Yun turned his back to the bottom line, he turned around 90 degrees, and at the same time, he knocked the ball with his back foot, and came to a knock ball and the ball was divided. The ball slid past the left side of the Notts County player and Liu Yun broke through from the right side of his opponent.
This knock was divided, and the trajectory of the ball turned out to be a small arc. Liu Yun received the ball that was passed to him half a second later! He got past the defenders on the flanks. At this time, he was 20 meters away from the goal, almost at a 0-degree angle to the goal!
At this point he can already choose to cross. This is the best option.
Sometimes the best choice is not necessarily the right choice!
Liu Yun's choice turned out to be 。。。。。 Shot! He gets up and shoots!
Shot at a 0 degree angle! The ball hangs in the top left corner of the goal! The Notts County goalkeeper barely made a save because he didn't believe Liu Yun would choose this angle to shoot! Liu Yun's shot was completed with the inside instep, and the ball flew straight towards the goal with a strong arc flight trajectory.
The ball is in! 1:0! Liu Yun single-handedly stirred up the Notts County defense, and scored with a 0-degree volley after passing several people!
The fans in the stadium, including the old coach George who had collapsed in front of the Alps and did not change his face, were all dumbfounded!
When it comes to zero-degree shots, fans' first reaction must be that Van Basten, one of the Dutch trio in the '88 European Championship final, scored a zero-degree volley into the door of the former Soviet Union.
Liu Yun's goal was more difficult than Van Basten's. First, Van Basten received a pass from a team-mate unmarked and fired a cushion. Liu Yun shot several people in a row when there were heavy soldiers on the side and interceptions in the back.
And Van Basten's shot is not strictly at a 0-degree angle to the goal. Liu Yun's shot angle was much smaller than Van Basten's shot.
Liu Yun's goal is more like the 23-year-old Kanu's shocking zero-degree goal in the 99 season of the Premier League, when Arsenal challenged Chelsea away.
There was a moment of silence at Ricoh Stadium. The silence was because Liu Yun's shocking goal shocked the fans of the team.
Liu Yun was a little uncomfortable. When a goal is scored, the fans should cheer. Coventry is playing at home, and Ricoh Stadium is its own turf! When will you not cheer at this time?
Liu Yun directly stretched out his left hand, put it to his ear, and made a listening gesture to the fans. That means, don't be stunned, brethren, rejoice!
Coventry fans were relieved: "Ah~~~~~~~~~hh
The cheers of the fans were deafening. Alger in the stands put little Manny on his shoulder, and little Manny shouted in his childish voice: "Old lieutenant, old lieutenant, old lieutenant!" ”
More than 20,000 fans at Ricoh Stadium shouted in unison: "Old lieutenant, old lieutenant, old lieutenant." "That shout shook the earth!
In the box of the stands, the children in the orphanage were even more boiling. Their "football coach", the old lieutenant Liu, scored a goal! And it was a brilliant goal. They are proud to have such a skilled football coach.
Isabella is not a fan, but she is also infected by the emotions of the children and hugs a well-behaved little girl next to her.
Liu Yun ran to the stands and put his hand to his ear, as if he didn't think the cheers of the Coventry fans were not enthusiastic enough.
The Coventry fans simply sang the song "Forward, Coventry": "It's a long, long road when you're going through life. Through the disaster, we will continue to move forward. Children in this sky blue dress, keep going! Coventry! Although you have experienced disasters, although the road is long, and your heart beats hard, although you are tired, we continue to move forward. Oh, the glory of Coventry, the sky blue jersey! Coventry! Coventry! ”
Liu Yun's goal ignited the passion of all the fans at Ricoh Stadium. He put his hands on his ears and ran by the stands.
Manla's speed came in handy at this point. He accelerated, rushed to Liu Yun's side, and hugged him. Alexander and the other members of the Coventry team also ran over, and they stacked up human arhats and pressed Liu Yun under them.
Coventry's anthem echoed over the Ricoh Stadium.
Outside the box, the banners drawn by the children were gently fluttered by the wind. The pig with the beret seemed to really fly into the sky.
