Chapter 42: Gignac, the First Penalty Taker
Carboni couldn't pass the ball back to Lin Yi's feet in the end, not because he didn't want to complete the pass, but because he was too watched by his opponent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"We watched Marseille's Carboni end up hitting the ball on the opposing player and bounced off the line. A corner! ā
Lin Yi gave him a thumbs up, although he didn't pass the ball out, but he was able to create a corner, which was still quite good!
Placing the ball next to the corner flag, Lin Yi squinted at his teammates in the penalty area.
Metz's back four plus a back four look a bit overcrowded.
Coupled with Marseille's four strikers, Lin Yi suddenly thought of the train station of his home country during the Spring Festival against the penalty area of Metz.
Looking at the crowded penalty area, Lin Yi suddenly stretched out his foot and pulled the ball back.
After rewriting and setting up his position, Lin Yi took a few steps back and began to run.
At this time, there was chaos in the forbidden area.
Gignac also wants to rely on his strong body to break his way, while Remy is cruising in no man's land and waiting for an opportunity.
The moment Lin Yi touched the football with the inside of his right foot, he suddenly saw the Togolese full-back, Senya Mango, who rushed up at the far end.
In fact, Lin Yi wasn't sure if Mango would be able to receive such a sudden pass from him, but his position was really good!
Thinking so, Lin Yi, who had already decided to pass the ball forward, suddenly shook his ankle, and his strength exploded instantly.
He kicked the ball around the back of the penalty area, and it was a very powerful kick with an arc.
"Huh? This corner kick is a bit too big, isn't it? ā
Before Duan Xuan's words fell, Mango, who was still on the edge of the penalty area just now, rushed up like a leopard, and then rushed up and smashed the football with his forehead.
This time, the Metz goalkeeper didn't react at all, and at first he thought that Lin Yi didn't press it and opened the ball wide.
The football flew straight to the right side of the goal, and some fans at the scene who were slightly off the angle even thought the ball had gone in and began to cheer.
The advantage of eight defenders in the box was finally revealed, and a defender rushed out from the side, blocked the goal, and blocked the football with his chest!
The Metz defender, who had been hit in the chest by the football, felt nothing but tightness in his chest, but he took the first step to pop the ball out of the area and then followed up with a big kick to open the ball out of the box.
"Oops! It's a pity, the wonderful fish leap to the top! was actually cleared by the opponent on the goal line, and it seems that Mays's luck today is not bad! ā
Lin Yi had already run back to the field from the corner flag unconsciously at this time, and it was he who grabbed the first drop point and received the football.
He stretched out his foot and volleyed the fallen soccer ball into the air, and the soccer ball bounced honestly.
Lin Yi turned over and inhaled and slammed his legs.
This is to ...... Volley?
At a distance of about 30 meters from the goal, you are too confident to play such a shot, right?
Just when everyone in the field expressed their surprise, Lin Yi's leg was lifted up, and then he knocked on the ball, and actually stopped the ball back in front of him.
Lin Yi, who had thrown his entire body in the air just now, had completely recovered his running posture at this time.
"Lin Yi's flexibility is very good, looking at the series of actions he just made, it is not something that ordinary people can complete."
Lin Yi, who had already stopped the ball in front of him, naturally couldn't hear the praise and praise of his compatriots, he just stretched out his foot to stop the ball, and then turned sideways and picked up his right leg again.
Metz's players were very nervous, and two people rushed up from left to right, trying to contain Lin Yi's shot.
Unexpectedly, this time it was still a feint, Lin Yi, who fell with his right foot, knocked on the football, the football bounced to the right, and Lin Yi chased after him with a limp.
Two of Metz's players pounced and almost collided together.
With such a getaway and play, the fans at Marseille's home stadium will naturally not be stingy with their applause.
Lin pushed the ball, this time no longer dangling, but ready to hit hard to eat the tall Metz defender in front of him.
Generally speaking, to say that a person is tall is to foreshadow his bulkiness, and the person in front of him is no exception.
Lin Yiyi controlled the ball at his feet and approached him with small steps.
He also felt that Lin Yi was not good, and he wanted to lower his center of gravity to jam Lin Yi.
Who knew that just when his body sank, Lin Yi leaned over, and he actually wanted to turn around!
This time, he was in a hurry, relying on the advantage of his height and long legs, he immediately took a step across, and once again blocked in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi, who was about to turn just now, twisted back suddenly, and the football that was knocked out just now was also wiped back by him with the sole of his shoe.
Then Lin Yi's calf shook, and the football rolled between the opponent's legs, and after he kicked the ball out, he immediately dropped his leg and turned around, rushing in the opposite direction that he was trying to turn just now.
The tall Metz defender couldn't react, and was shaken by Lin Yi's hand and fell directly to the ground.
Lin Yi, who had already gotten rid of the opponent's three-person defense in an instant, kept walking and plunged into the opponent's penalty area.
Coach Metz saw that the Chinese, who had been performing well in the previous few games, were idle in his own penalty area, and he was angry.
He took a few steps forward to the side of the court, "Hey! You guys, clip him for me! Break the ball, don't let him continue to break inside! Defend! Bastard, card slot! Stop him from continuing to break through! ā
Lin Yi's breakthrough was naturally not blocked by a few shouts from the head coach, and at this time, Lin Yi had already made the Metz players unable to look at their head coach.
Lin Yi's speed suddenly increased, and he pulled the ball over from the opponent's feet sideways.
Just when Lin made an emergency stop, adjusted his direction and wanted to continue walking in, Mace's defender finally stepped forward.
A big man came up from the side and stood in the way of Lin Yi's advance impartially.
Maybe it's not a good thing to say, because this guy is more like a head-on hit.
Lin Yi was also startled by the posture of that guy rushing over, and then as if he was swept by the strong wind he brought, he actually fell into the restricted area of Mace.
Because there were too many people in Mace's forbidden area, even experts like Duan Xuan and them who watched through TV didn't see what Lin Yi's movements were all about.
The referee didn't know if he saw it or not, but he immediately blew the whistle and then reached out and walked into the penalty area while digging in his pocket.
The Marseille fans at the scene shouted loudly at this time, putting pressure on the referee.
Gignac fulfilled his captaincy well this time as he strode over and was the first to rush to the referee's side.
Then the players from Marseille ran over separately, and Lin Yi actually got up and ran to the referee.
It may be inappropriate to insist that Lin Yi is a fake fall, but the time he fell, Lin Yi did have ulterior motives.
The referee waved his hand away from the Marseille players and then pulled out a yellow card and held it up in front of the Metz defender.
Then he stretched out his finger and pointed to the penalty spot, and the scene was thunderous.
Lin Yi lowered his head and sorted out his socks and stood outside the penalty area.
Although he made the penalty, the team's first penalty taker was Valbuena and today's first penalty taker was Gignac with the captain's armband.
Lin Yi only seems to have a very resolute pursuit of victory, scoring goals and the like, and he really has always had a casual attitude.
When Gignac put the football on the penalty spot, the whole person was excited.
It's been a long time since I've taken a penalty, so it's a bit cool to feel like you're getting something for nothing.
With that in mind, he looked up at Mace's goal.
Perhaps because he was carried away by the excitement, he suddenly forgot about the unfortunate mistake he had made before.
The sunset in Marseille was still very light, and Lin leaned on the pergola with one hand to watch Gignac's preparations.
As soon as he looked up, he just saw the scene of Gignac looking up at the opponent's goal.
Lin Yi still thought enviously, could it be that his eyes were already able to adapt to the bright light? This experienced person is really unusual, and it's really amazing.
Whoever is uncomfortable knows for themselves, Gignac, who was shaken to the point that his eyes were a little black, had to quickly bow his head to try to relieve the discomfort in his eyes.
Coincidentally, the referee blew the whistle at this time, signaling that he could kick.
Gignac had no choice but to start running, and in order to alleviate this discomfort, he deliberately made the running action very slow and stretched the preparation time as long as possible.
This pull did make the opponent's goalkeeper nervous.
The Metz goalkeeper had been writhing in front of his own goal, and he was trying hard to interfere with Gignac.
It's a pity that Gignac only looked up and didn't look up to talk to him anymore.
Could it be that he is already confident? The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became.
When Gignac finally stepped on the edge of the football, the Metz goalkeeper screamed.
No more prejudgment! It depends on whether your feet are fast or my movements are fast.
This is clearly a prejudgment abandonment, Gignac's foot is on the football, which should be flying towards the right side of the goal.
The goalkeeper of Metz only made a move at this time, his body was horizontal, and his waist and abdomen pounced out.
Gignac's kick is really not exciting......
When the Metz goalkeeper felt his hand hit a round object, he couldn't even believe that he had pounced on the football.
The Marseille fans at the scene were stunned and forgot to scold for a while.
"Pounced! Gignac's shot was saved by the Metz goalkeeper with great skill, the power of the shot was too small, and the angle was not tricky enough. The goalkeeper had the ball firmly in his hand, and the opponent didn't even have a chance to make a follow-up shot. ā
In the opening eight minutes, Lin Yi broke through to create a penalty, and Gignac, Marseille's first penalty taker in this game, ...... Lose.
The goalkeeper Metz lay on the ground for a long time to relieve himself, and he could barely suppress the excitement in his heart.
He stood up, holding the soccer ball in his hand and roaring to the sky.
"It's not so scary...... Lin Yi muttered.
