Tottenham Hotspur lost on penalties and Arsenal soon got a set-piece from the right. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the Arsenal goalkeeper walking to the penalty spot, Tottenham fans were very nervous, and the Gunners fans couldn't stop shouting and cheering.

In the 59th minute of the second half, Arsenal won a free kick of 31 meters on the right side of the front, and standing in front of the penalty spot was the Gunners goalkeeper Zhang.

Victor Wanyama shook his head incessantly: "I don't believe that this Chinese takes free kicks and hits hundreds of shots." ”

31 meters, said not far, said close not close, this distance of free kicks, generally only two or three players as a wall.

When the attacking side gets a free kick opportunity in the front court, the defender arranges one or more defenders to stand side by side to build a human wall in order to block the passing and shooting route on a certain side, and the team goalkeeper generally directs and arranges.

The ultimate purpose of the human wall is to avoid the opponent from scoring directly on the goal, whether to arrange the human wall, and the number of human walls are closely related to the team's tactical needs and the specific situation on the field.

Under normal circumstances, the players who form the human wall are the big ones in the team who are over 180cm, and small players like Diego Maradona are generally not required to participate in the construction of the human wall, and they are very self-aware and will not take the initiative to ask for the wall.

There is no clear rule on the number of players in the human wall, it is only necessary for the defender to make an impromptu arrangement according to the situation of the game.

When there is an indirect free kick in the penalty area and the penalty spot is less than 9.15 metres from the end line, the human wall can be lined up on the goal line. Once this happens, the defense will have the spectacle of 11 players on the field standing in a line on the goal line as a human wall.

Under the arrangement of Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane, Delai Ali and Eric Dier, Wan Yama, and Son Xingmin are five people, which may be one of the highest human walls in the Premier League, Kane and Ali are both 188cm tall, Dier is 189cm, and Wanyama and Son Heungmin are both 184cm tall.

This is a wall with an average height of 186.6cm, and it is difficult for the average person to jump over a free kick, and it is difficult to get around it with the width of five people.

Under normal circumstances, a free kick within 25 meters only uses a five-person wall, and it is basically impossible to see a free kick of more than 30 meters that requires five people to line up.

Mauricio Pochettino looked at everything with a straight face, this is also his request, although Zhang Zhetian doesn't know what the reason, many free kicks in good positions in the last game were not punished, but he will definitely not be stupid to think that the level of Zhang Zhetian's free kicks has declined, and he does not dare to penalize.

This kind of tabloid news can only entertain the public, and for the Argentine coach who single-handedly built the Tottenham youth army, he knows very well that as long as Zhang Zhetian dares to take a free kick, it means that he has the certainty of going in.

Whether as a player, at club or country, or with the team he coached after coaching, Pochettino has seen many free-kick masters in the game, and the one he remembers most vividly is the legendary Paraguayan goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert, who played in the Argentine league, Ligue 1 and national team.

He was a common goalkeeper in South America of his time, ranking second in goalkeeper goals, behind Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Cheni.

Goalkeeper goals are not uncommon in the history of football for more than 100 years, and when the team is down in the final moments, it is common to run to the front of the pitch in a desperate attempt to attack a goal or set-piece, and there are not many goalscorers.

Goalkeepers who take penalties in regulation time are all but extinct after German goalkeeper Hans Bout, especially after Cheney's retirement, and there are no more goalkeepers in football from set-pieces.

But now, a Chinese boy door god has appeared, and while doing his job of guarding the door very well, he can also feed and eat cakes.

Penalties and free-kicks in the Premier League made history, and the free-kick for the national team was voted one of the best free-kicks of the year.

Looking at the tall human wall, a smile crossed the corner of Zhang Zhetian's mouth, in the eyes of a real master, there is no so-called obstacle.

Seeing the referee Michael Oliver blow the whistle, Zhang Zhetian began to run.

The five-man wall lined up on the left side of the Tottenham half, and Lloris stood on the right side of the goal (or left for Arsenal), his eyes fixed on the whole body of Zhang Zhetian, who scored a free kick from 30 meters away, and Lloris did not dare to be careless.

Boom!

He kicked the ball out with his left foot, and it flew over the head of the Tottenham player at the far left of the jumping crowd (at the angle of Zhang Zhetian) and flew towards the right-hand corner of the goal with little spin.

Standing on the left side of the goal, Lori hurriedly moved to the right, and at the same time his mind flashed with doubts: the ball was not fast, there was almost no arc, and the ball didn't seem to spin much, so it didn't seem to have much power.

Wait a minute!

The ball doesn't spin?

No spins?

Revolve......

It was once said that the most difficult shot in soccer is not how much spin the ball has, but rather how the ball stops spinning in the air.

Elevator ball is a kind of scoring technique in football games, which is essentially different from the fallen leaf ball and banana ball, and refers to the "S-shaped" free kick in which the player uses the inside of the instep to send out a small rotation, but the ball suddenly changes to the line in front of the goal.

Among the representatives who are good at this style of play are Juninho Jr., Demetrio Albertini, Andrea Pirlo, David Luiz, Didier Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc.

The standard elevator ball was first invented by Juninho Jr., but the term elevator ball was first coined by Milan Sport newspaper during Euro 2012.

Although there are many free kick masters who can kick the elevator ball, everyone has their own characteristics of the elevator ball, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, his elevator ball line is very low, and he wins by the speed of the ball.

However, the essence of the elevator ball is not in the speed of the ball, but in the stationary nature of the ball, which is only derived from the power generated by the force.

It is precisely because of the stationary nature of the sphere that the ball is only affected by the streamlined surface air pressure difference and gravity during the motion, and is not affected by the air pressure generated by the spin of the sphere, so that the erratic line can be generated.

In terms of ball speed, a powerful free kick is completely dependent on the speed of the ball.

The ball was about to go into his control, but Lowry's face was not happy, because in his pupils, the ball suddenly disappeared from his line of sight, and when he turned his head to the right with experience, the ball grazed his right shoulder and flew into the net.

......A crisp and loud whistle sounded over the relatively quiet court, and Oliver pointed to the center circle while taking out a pen and paper to record the players and the time.

"In the 60th minute of the second half, Zhang Zhetian scored a beautiful direct free kick to break the deadlock first, and Arsenal led 1-0!" Zhan Jun shouted excitedly.
