Chapter 200: The Way to Announce the Return (Part II)
In modern football, set-pieces are a very important means of scoring, according to incomplete statistics, the proportion of set-piece goals in La Liga in the past few seasons accounted for nearly 20%. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
That's a terrifying statistic, for example, that out of a hundred goals, at least 20 goals have been scored from set-pieces. It can be seen that set-pieces have become an extremely important and normal means of scoring in today's football.
Direct free kicks are the most common of these scoring methods.
Today's football, such as JΓΊnior, Ronaldinho, Beckham...... These players are all famous free kick masters on the field, and these stars have an amazing free kick kung fu, and they can use their free kick skills to help the team open up the situation and even win the game.
Breaking through dense defenses, free kicks can be called a big weapon.
And in Villarreal's team, there happens to be a free kick master, that is, Roman. Riquelme.
South American players are characterized by their delicate skills, and as one of them, Riquelme is not only outstanding at his feet, but also has a big picture and ability to read the game, and his free-kick skills are definitely a masterpiece.
Riquelme has already scored from two free-kicks this season, and Riquelme's goal rate at the top of the box arc is still extremely high.
Huelva gave Villarreal a free-kick opportunity in this position, which was extremely uneconomical. But Raderson also has no choice, if he doesn't foul Riquelme down, then in the face of such a close shot, the team's goalkeeper will be difficult to make an effective save, Riquelme is not a player with indiscriminate footwork, as an experienced star with high shooting skills, it is difficult for him to make mistakes in such an opportunity.
In such a situation, even at the cost of a well-placed free kick and a yellow card, Raderson can only pinch his nose and admit it.
Intimidated by Riquelme's free-kick skills, Huelva's side began to prepare for the human wall in full swing, and their goalkeeper pointed at his teammates from time to time, signaling them to follow his command to take position.
On the other hand, Villarreal is not doing well.
Riquelme did not get up from the ground, with pain on his face, and his teammates who were close to him hurriedly surrounded him, and Fan Bizhuang ran towards the top of the arc, gesturing to the field and signaling the team doctor to hurry in.
A.T. Kearney came up with his assistant and, after a diagnosis, shook his head, as if relieved as well as a pity, making all the worried players want to beat the veteran team doctor up.
In the eyes of the players who were almost murderous, Kearney finally spoke slowly: "There are no major problems, a slight sprain, two big cuts in the calf bone of the left foot by the spikes, not a serious injury." However, it is better not to continue this game and take a rest, so as not to cause the wound to worsen and aggravate the injury. β
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and although Riquelme was likely to be unable to continue the game during the insurance period, the good news was that the injury was not serious, which avoided future injury absences.
If Fan Bizhuang has just returned, but the team's offensive and defensive core suddenly has a problem, the loss is estimated to be less than Fan Bizhuang's departure.
A.T. Kearney gestured to the sidelines, and soon Manuel Pellegrini made a substitution, with Hosiko coming on without any warm-up and Riquelme coming on as his replacement.
"I was thinking of scoring a goal as a gift to welcome you back, but I didn't expect ......" Riquelme stood up with Kearney's support and showed a wry smile at Fan Bizhuang, "I guess the guys on the other side are about to bloom with joy on their faces, right?" They ruined the shot, they got one of our main players, and the free-kick threat was much less...... Tsk, if it were me, I'd laugh out loud. β
Fan Bizhuang turned his head and looked, no, seeing Riquelme being supported by the team doctor, it seemed that he was about to leave the field, and the faces of the Huelva players all showed a relaxed look of relief, it is estimated that in their hearts, they are stealing joy at the moment.
"I suddenly want to rush up and kick them in the face!" A cold light flashed in Fan Bizhuang's eyes, and the words in his mouth were also cold.
His words startled A.T. Kearney, what kind of temper this master is, it is estimated that the staff of the entire club knows, he hurriedly hugged Riquelme with one hand and grabbed Fan Bizhuang with the other, for fear that Fan Bizhuang would suddenly go crazy.
The team's offensive and defensive core was injured and left the field, if Fan Bizhuang did something again and was also sent off, it would really be ridiculous and generous. Leaving the field as soon as he got on the field, or using violence in such a way, it is estimated that the scolding and criticism of the media after the game can drown out the entire club.
"Don't worry, I'm just talking, Mr. Kearney." Fan Bizhuang shook his head, looked at Hosico, who was standing on the sidelines waiting to play, and turned back to Riquelme and said, "Why don't you go down after this free kick?" β
"I think, but if you look at Mr. Kearney, will he agree?" Riquelme smiled bitterly.
A.T. Kearney looked at Fan Bizhuang nervously and warily, and his heart was about to kneel for this master. Uncle, can't I call you uncle? You've been thinking about something all day, either to fight, or to come up with some unreliable ideas, Roman is now a wounded, can you not find something for me?
A.T. Kearney didn't dare to stay any longer, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Fan Bizhuang would come up with something else, so he didn't bother to say anything, and helped Riquelme to walk off the field in a hurry.
ββ¦β¦β
A.T. Kearney's appearance like a plague god made Fan Bizhuang's heart suffer at least 10,000 points of damage, and he touched his nose in embarrassment.
"Fan."
Riquelme suddenly turned his head.
"Huh?"
Fan Bizhuang looked over suspiciously.
Riquelme suddenly pointed to the position at the top of the arc of the penalty area and nodded at him: "You will punish this ball." β
Fan Bizhuang was stunned for a moment.
During the week, Fan Bizhuang followed Riquelme every day to practice free-kick shooting, and the effect was quite good, and Riquelme often praised himself for his talent in free-kicks, but ...... I've never taken a free kick in a game, I haven't even taken a corner, so I suddenly let myself go, can this work?
When Fan Bizhuang had some self-doubt, he saw Riquelme smile again and said: "Have confidence in yourself, just like when you pass the ball and shoot, full of confidence!" You can do it, noob! β
In the last few words, Riquelme put on a mocking tone, and squeezed his eyebrows at Fan Bizhuang for a while.
When he first joined Villarreal, the nickname of the newcomer Fan Bizhuang was "Little Rookie", and Nihat called every day as a rookie and a rookie, and everyone followed suit.
Later, this title was reserved for Nihat, who was closest to Fan Bizhuang. He's getting better and better, scoring goals and assists for everything, and no team-mate will treat him like a league newcomer anymore.
From a newcomer to the team to a firm foothold, and now to the absolute main force, the rookie has completely transformed into a real star, one of the most important figures in the team.
But at this moment, Fan Bizhuang felt a faint warmth in his heart. He knew Riquelme was encouraging him in this way, he was once a rookie in the professional league, and now he is also a rookie when it comes to free-kicks.
Since he is a rookie, he can go from a newcomer to where he is today, so why can't he start from scratch in a free kick?
A smile appeared on Fan Bizhuang's face, and Riquelme gave him a thumbs up: "Go, rookie, go to your opponent, and all the fans, and announce your ...... Regression! In this way, tell them that you ...... It's back! β
Fan Bizhuang nodded and turned around, his expression was already full of absolute confidence.
This ball, he will take the penalty!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"What did you tell him? Why did his expression suddenly become so solemn? β
As soon as Riquelme came off the pitch, Manuel Pellegrini greeted him and, after asking about his injury, asked about Van Bizhuang curiously.
Riquelme smiled, but did not answer directly, staring at the pitch tightly: "Just look at it, sir." β
Manuel Pellegrini touched his nose suspiciously, and also focused his eyes on the pitch.
On the field, after saying hello to his teammates around him, Fan Bizhuang stood straight in front of the football.
Riquelme was the team's first free-kick driver, and when he was not present, the right to take the penalty was not clearly defined, and generally speaking, whoever had good footwork could take the ball. Such as Cazorla, Forlan and others, their footwork is also good, and they can also come to take the penalty.
However, Fan Bizhuang made it clear that he was going to take this free kick, and no one came to grab it from him, although everyone was curious and confused, but they all nodded in agreement.
"Roman is replaced by Josico! So...... Who will take this free-kick? β
"Diego? Santiago? Or Abarina? Their footwork is really good, but compared to Roman, it is still a little worse. Maybe this free-kick won't go straight to goal, but I think it's a good choice to do a tactical combination......"
"Wait, Fan? Van stood in front of the football? This is...... Is he going to take the free-kick? β
"Oh my God! It's really Fan! He's really going to take this free-kick! This, this...... Will he take a free-kick? β
'Even though his passes and shots are good and accurate, it's not like a direct free-kick. In my impression, Fan has never taken a set-piece, not even a corner...... Can he really do it? β
The eyes of the nearly 30,000 fans at the Love Song Stadium widened in disbelief, and Arces screamed in amazement. Everyone was in disbelief, how could it be Fan Bizhuang who was the main punishment? No one had ever seen him take a free-kick, he ...... Can it really work?
