Chapter 7 Is this the rhythm of being abused as a dog?
It was a bad day for me. But it was a very lucky day. Because on this day, I got acquainted with Qin, this bastard who people love and hate but have to admire him!
——— from the autobiography "Henry the Great"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At five o'clock, in the cheers and roars of nearly 1,000 fans in the stadium stands, the game officially began.
Although it was a friendly match, the procedural rules and the like were all in accordance with the official game, everything was very formal, and even the referee who refereed the game was a professional.
In the previous side guess, Stevenson University football team captain Papastto lost the right to pick the edge, and the home team won the kick-off.
According to Coach John's deployment before the game, taking advantage of the fact that both sides are not familiar with each other, and the opponent is not stable and contemptuous, it is best to attack a few times in the opening game to give the New York Red Bulls a dismount. Even if you can't score a goal, being able to give the opponent three axes at the beginning is also a big face.
Of course, after the "long face" is finished, the big guy should retreat and concentrate on defense. After all, the other party is a professional team, so let's show our faces, and the rest, let's do whatever we want.
So, it would be nice to get the right to kick off. In this way, what coach John called "blitzkrieg tactics" could be implemented.
However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
As soon as the football kicked off, Papastto sprinted forward quickly. Judging from his previous game experience, as long as he runs forward, his teammates behind him will soon pass the football over.
But this time, Papasto, just entering the 30-meter zone of the New York Red Bulls, turned his head to look back, ready to signal his teammates to pass the ball to him. And it was precisely at this glance that Papastto directly gave up his intention to rush forward.
The varsity player who got the ball didn't know which tendon in his head didn't match correctly, and when he saw Papastto sprinting forward, he didn't pass the football long pass for the first time, but showed off his fancy moves in front of the professional players.
The nervous player saw that it was New York striker Tim Cahill (Tim Cahill) who came to the attack, and probably felt that the striker generally does not know how to defend, and even if he defends, he can cope with things, so he played a trick - slowly rushed forward with the ball, and when Cahill met him, he suddenly stepped on the ball with his left foot, then turned half-around, and then ......
Fall to the ground!
"Haha~~ What did I see? There was an idiot who stepped on a football himself and fell into a! ”
"It's terrible!"
"I'm about to burst out laughing! Is this guy nervous? Do you want to play flower work or do you want to perform? ”
Bursts of laughter erupted from the stands. Fans who know about football naturally know that this is a mistake in the player's own actions, and it is just a few boos, while those "pseudo-fans" who are purely watching the excitement know how to lean forward and back one by one, and some even shouted "one more".
"Paul, this idiot!"
John, the school coach on the sidelines, patted his forehead speechlessly, while Uncle Huang, the fat man next to him, rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Red Bull striker Cahill was also stunned for a moment, and such a big figure lay down next to him, which startled him. But after all, he is a professional player, and when he saw the football rolling lightly, he was not polite, and with a hook of his right foot, he controlled the football at his feet.
Gary Cahill wanted to keep the ball and wait for his team-mates to step up and pick it up, before the team slowly pushed forward. It's the easiest way to play a professional team against an amateur team, just crush you as a whole, and even if you know I'm going to push forward, you can't stop it.
As he thought so, Cahill suddenly saw a red and white figure scurrying forward along the right side, and behind him, the number "14" writhed as his body ran, undulating like a wave.
It's thierry. Henry!
Cahill hesitated, but swept the ball down the right flank. Although they have only been teammates for a week and have not yet established a good understanding with each other, Cahill is still willing to believe in Henry, and perhaps in his heart, he also wants to see if the French star is as good as the rumors.
And Henry, too, did not disappoint him.
Cahill's passing power was a little small, but Henry didn't look back at all as if he had eyes behind his back, and with a slight knock on the heel of his right foot that he had raised during the football run, the ball bounced in front of Henry, and the man and the ball continued to sprint forward at high speed.
"Beautiful!"
"Knocking the ball with your back, without any stagnation, it's really chic!"
"Is this football? It seems to be a little interesting! This guy seems to be able to dance on his feet...... Wow, he's so fast! ”
There were shouts of exclamation again from the stands. This time, both the fans and the "pseudo-fans" were amazed. Henry's series of actions to knock the ball and stop the ball this time, and then rush forward with the ball, are really smooth and unstoppable.
And the next action of Henry made everyone in the stands really experience the exciting side of football.
Henry, who rushed forward with the ball, was like a horsepower sports car, putting himself on the right side of Stevenson's varsity team as if no one was there. A varsity player came up to defend, but before he could even make a move, Henry, who did not slow down, rushed past him with the ball.
That's the absolute speed gap!
It's so fast that the varsity players don't even have time to react!
Henry rushed directly to the baseline with the ball, then swung his upper body slightly, and with a buckle of his feet, he passed another varsity player. After the break, Henry had already cut inside into the box. In the face of the two varsity defenders who came to fill the position, Henry swayed left and right like a flower. A few feints in a row shook the opponent so much that he couldn't find the north.
Eventually, after passing the goalkeeper together, Henry easily smashed the ball into the empty net.
And the start of the game was less than thirty seconds. And in such a short period of time, Henry staged a good show of one-click breakthrough.
Although we all know that it will be easy for professional teams and amateur teams to play, but this scene in front of us is too easy, right? After all, the school team players are not wooden stakes no matter how much they cook, but they are just like that, but they are clean by one person. And it seems that the other side has not yet exercised its power.
This...... The gap is too big, right?
Having scored a goal like this in a very short period of time, the Stevenson varsity players can imagine how they feel. The players looked depressed and depressed on their faces.
Although it was the home of the Stevenson University team, the fans in the stands did not save face for them, they had just witnessed a speed rush, and then even an acquaintance scored the ball, and for a while, the stands were full of shouts of "Thierry-Thierry-".
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shou stood near the center circle, watching Henry slowly run around the sidelines after the goal, accepting the cheers of the fans, pouting, but not paying attention.
It was just a friendly game, and it looked like a goal in the World Cup final, so what was there to worry about.
In fact, the moment Cahill controlled the ball, Qin Shou had a chance to stop the opponent's pass. However, the moment his body was ready to rush forward, Qin Shou hesitated. It's just a friendly game, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's not a deep hatred, it's not worth it.
The most important thing is that there is no reward for steals, so why should he do thankless work!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shou was not interested in this game, and only thought about mixing until the end of the game, and then receiving his $60 payment, and then flashing.
Well, Qin Shou is such a lazy person, he can be lazy if he can. In his opinion, the gap between the strength of the school team and the New York Red Bulls is so big that even if he fights hard, he can't escape the fate of losing. And he's also self-aware, he's confident in his physicality and his ability to run, but otherwise that's absolutely scum. So as much as he would love to get the winnings and even the goals and assists, he knows very well that this is not realistic. Because he has played so many long games with the school team as a "mercenary", not scoring a goal and not providing an assist.
Goals and assists, he's not good at it at all.
So, let's honestly "eat and wait for death".
However, Qin Shou couldn't raise much energy, but the away team New York Red Bulls did a good job of showing to the end.
Three minutes later, the New York Red Bulls were back in action.
The New York Red Bulls player easily intercepted the ball in midfield and then casually kicked the ball up front.
Thierry Henry and Gary Cahill made back-to-back passes before Thierry Henry curled a stunning shot from the edge of the box and the ball flew into the home side for the second time.
2:0!
So casual and so lightly, so lightly understated, just two people tore the Stevenson University football team's defense to pieces!
But that's not the end of it.
In the thirty-fifth minute of the first half, Henry suddenly kicked up at 35 meters, although the strength was average, but the angle was extremely tricky, and the goalkeeper stretched his whole body in vain, watching the football fall for the third time.
In 35 minutes, the New York Red Bulls made their new signing for the season. Henry had already scored a hat-trick.
Speed, Break, Skill, Long Shot...... Three goals, three different ways of scoring goals, made the Americans in the stands fascinated, and at this moment, they realized for the first time that football is really charming.
And in the hearts of the Stevenson varsity players, apart from frustration and loss, there is only shock and admiration left - amazing, really amazing!
On the sidelines, in the away team's coach's box, the smile on Dietmar's face was about to squeeze into a chrysanthemum. Listening to the cheers and applause from the audience, he knew very well that the purpose of him and the team had been achieved before the half was over. After this game, there will probably be more New Jerseys who will become fans of the New York Red Bulls football team.
On the other end, the school coach John was full of helplessness, constantly shaking his head and sighing.
Uncle Huang was even more straightforward, muttering, "Is this the rhythm of being abused as a dog?" He covered his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it again.
