Chapter Ninety-Nine: Free Kick VS Barb
"Reggina got a free-kick in a very good position! Shunsuke Nakamura stood in front of the ball. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"This free-kick is 24 metres from the goal, right in front of the goal. Nakamura has a record of scoring from multiple free-kicks in this position. Let's see if he can equalize for Reggina this time. ”
Brescia's players lined up the human wall slowly, Nakamura's free kick was already famous in Serie A, and in the face of this dangerous opponent, Brescia discharged a wall of five people.
The referee stood by their side and let them get out of the distance enough. But as soon as the referee turned around, they secretly took a few more steps forward.
Sereni stood in the far corner of the goal, directing his teammates to adjust the position of the wall. It wasn't until he saw his teammate's body completely seal the side of the goal that he was relieved to return to the middle of the goal.
Then he turned around and almost collided with Zhang Shu.
"Zhang, what are you doing here?" Sereni asked curiously.
"I'll help you block the far corner." Zhang Shu ran to the far door post without looking back, and stood there against the door post.
"It's not a corner, it doesn't need to be like this, right?" Sereni shouted to Zhang Shu, "You go to the front and wait for the counterattack, or go to the penalty area to help defend." ”
In the usual defense, Zhang Shuke has never been so active. If it weren't for his short height, a frontcourt player like him, who is not very defensive, should have gone to the wall.
Zhang Shu didn't answer Sereni's words, he just stood by the post, waiting for Nakamura to take the free-kick.
Sereni didn't get a response from Zhang Shu and didn't have time to call him again, his opponent's free kick could be kicked at any moment, and he had to refocus his attention on his opponent.
"Beep~~!" The referee blows the whistle for the penalty kick.
No feints from other teammates and no complicated free-kick tactics. Shunsuke Nakamura started his run just after the whistle fell, and after a few steps, his right foot slammed into the turf next to the football.
In less than half a second, his left foot was pumped against the stationary football. "Bang" As the instep made contact with the football, the heavily concentrated football instantly flew over the wall of Brescia and flew towards the far corner of the goal.
"There it is!" Shunsuke Nakamura shouted excitedly in his heart.
A top free-kicker, Nakamura has scored countless free-kicks. As soon as the ball left his feet, he knew it was going to fly into the corner of the goal.
The power and angles of the football are perfect. There are many players who can make the ball fly into the corner, but few are precise in the control of power. Too much power will be blocked by the wall, and too little power will not be fast enough, leaving more time for the goalkeeper to react. Nakamura's free-kick is not only tricky, but also fast. Even if the goalkeeper judged the ball in the right direction, it was not enough time for him to leap into the corner of the goal.
It's his confidence as a free-kick master.
Sereni judged the direction of the opponent's shot as soon as the ball left Nakamura's feet, and he took a small step towards the side of the wall that was blocked, and this action made him lose the ball from his vision. Soon, though, the soccer ball came out of the head of the wall.
"Suffer!" In just a moment, Sereni sensed great danger. The ball was very fast, and although it initially looked like it would fly off the baseline, after a short flight, the ball began to change direction towards the far post.
Sereni struggled to throw himself into the air. Regardless of whether the ball ends up in goal or not, he has to make a save.
The soccer ball continues to bend towards the goal in the air, and if you look down from the air, it is clear that the course of the soccer ball has drawn a huge arc.
"It's too late!" Sereni's heart was filled with despair. As a goalkeeper, he is sensitive to the speed of football. In just an instant, the experience he had gained from countless training sessions had taught him that he had no chance to put his hand between the ball and the goal before it flew into the goal.
Nakamura looked at the football above the human wall, which blocked most of his view in front of him, making him unable to see the bottom half of Brescia's goal. But a smile was already beginning to appear on his face.
It only takes a few tenths of a second to wait for the ball to fly into the opponent's goal.
Suddenly, something strange appeared in his eyes.
"Huh? What is that? ”
Standing in front of Shunsuke Nakamura was the tall Tony, and at this time, in Nakamura's eyes, a sharp horn suddenly grew on Tony's head.
Soon, the horn went up, and the part that followed finally made Nakamura recognize what it was—it was a slowly rising sneaker.
The shoe continued to rise, revealing the tongue of the shoe and the white Socks of Brescia underneath.
After Nakamura's free-kick, the walls turned to look at the football behind them, and as Tony and his teammates turned around, as if the curtain had been lifted for Shunsuke Nakamura, he finally saw the scene in front of the goal through the gap in the wall.
Zhang Shu was flying in mid-air with a barb shot, his head tilted, looking at the flying football in the air, his hands open to maintain the balance of his body, one foot hanging down, and the other foot stretched straight into the sky.
To add height, he straightened his instep in the air, and his toes almost touched the beam.
"It can't be!" With Nakamura's inner shout, the ball finally arrives at the goal. "Brush", the football made contact with Zhang Shu's outstretched toes, then changed direction, flew towards the sky, and finally landed in the stands behind the goal.
"Oo!!!!!oo Huang *Jian*Xiang let out a cry that he didn't even understand the meaning. "This is a miraculous relief! Zhang Shu saves Brescia's goal! ”
Then it wasn't until a second later that he finally choked out an adjective.
"Beautiful!"
The fans in the stadium reacted a second later, cheering louder than Tony had when he scored.
"Well done! Sheet! ”
"Zhang! I love you to death! ”
"Zhang, your defense is fantastic!"
Behind the goal, the shouts of the Brescia fans intermittently reached Zhang Shu's ears. He's a little confused right now.
It's not that I'm stunned. Before landing, Zhang Shu was already controlling his body and preparing to land, his left hand went down, made a supporting movement, and then leaned his head forward with the strength of his waist and abdomen, so as not to hit the ground with the back of his head first. Then adjust the center of gravity of the body to the left half of the body, so that one side of the hip hits first to form a cushion.
But when Zhang Shu fell to the ground, he found that even if he did a perfect protective action, there were still things he couldn't control.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and soon, in the slow time and space, Sereni's face slowly appeared in front of him. In the slow-motion picture in Zhang Shu's eyes, Sereni's expression was full of joy mixed with the surprise of not conceding the ball and the instinctive fear before the impact.
But Zhang Shu couldn't laugh at all, he knew what would happen next. He could only seize the time to mobilize his body to tense his muscles.
In an instant, Sereni's body slammed into him.
