Chapter 23: S-Arc

The first round of the league was much more difficult than Becker imagined, Karlsruhe's performance in the warm-up game and the Copa del Rey scared Higan's promoted team, five minutes after the game, Higan put on a strict defensive posture, the offense relied on two forwards Green and Pekerman, and the defense was eleven, Melkan, who let Li Huan be careful before the game, actually stuck in the back and did not come up to assist, according to Chelsea's manager Mourinho, Higan drove a bus to the stadium in Karlsruhe, Blocked in front of their own goal.

Karlsruhe itself is not a strong team, even in the Bundesliga, it is also the fate of the relegation team, that is, the three new signings this year have far exceeded their value, so Karlsruhe has shown signs of recovery. Without the addition of three new signings, Karlsruhe is a relegation team this season. The ability to break through the dense defense is not good, in the face of such a courtesy from the opponent, Karlsruhe is a little overwhelmed and honestly afraid, they have encountered the dead guard, but they have not encountered such a dead guard, the goal of this formation is obvious, just to get a point.

Karlsruhe coach Becker watched for more than ten minutes, and Higan barely played half the line except for two strikers. Let go and let your opponent attack.

The Karlsruhe fans in the stands were almost angry when they saw it, and they desperately booed the promoted horse in the stands, not the promotion turtle, and some fans with the surname of Rush even scolded them.

Karlsruhe's commentator Wagram, who turned out to be the host of an open show, couldn't help but humorously say when he saw this situation: "It seems that Higan's fans already knew in advance about what might happen today, so there were not many people at all." ”

Becker is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, he sees this situation, and knows that it is too difficult to break through a goal defended by 11 people, Becker looked at the head coach of the Higan team who was standing on the sidelines, Mai had a serious expression, as if he was commanding a major battle, Becker secretly snorted, very despised this Italian-like coach, all play like this, fools will also command, he waved his hand to signal his team to shrink back, don't suppress the opponent too hard. Retract your fists before you can punch them out more forcefully.

However, Becker clearly underestimated the determination of the Higan team to play defensively, defending, not counter-attacking, because they didn't counter-attack at all. The two spirit-like strikers are sometimes in front and sometimes in the back, can this be considered a counterattack? Buying a lottery ticket is also more than their odds of scoring a goal. After Karlsruhe recovered, the Higan team was not fooled at all, did not come forward to attack, and just fell in the back, or drove out of bounds to see the Karlsruhe players fall in the front. Becker was so angry that he hated to report the team's negative play to the fourth official and should have lost 3-0.

In the VIP box at Wilder Park sat two high-ranking officials from Karlsruhe, Thaler and Wilhelm, and Chairman Higan did not come at all. The two high-level officials have never seen such a shameless game, after watching twenty minutes, Karlsruhe's offensive did not work at all, their pride and joy at the beginning were gone, replaced by impatience, in the face of such a team, if they can't win in the end, it must be a big tragedy.

Looking at the three new signings who were given high hopes by the fans before the game, Federico and Capalani have been working hard, but the opponent has too many defenders, and the stadium at Wilde Park is not big, so there is almost no room to play, and the impatient Capalani also received a yellow card.

Li Huan played more than ten minutes in the opening game before pressing to the front, Becker was too cautious before the game, he asked Li Huan to defend in the backfield first, see the situation and then assist, and then the situation was clear, in the backfield can only defend the air, even Xigen's players can't see, Li Huan can chat with the international students who came up to cheer him in the stands. If it weren't for the first professional league, Li Huan would even turn around and face this rogue team with his ass, since they put down their dignity and didn't want to be embarrassed, then why should he give him face.

It's useless for Li Huan to go up, his speed on the side has lost its effect, the opponent stays near the penalty area at all, his cross has no effect, the opponent's penalty area is basically full of people, it is difficult for you to choose the object of the pass, and it is difficult to have space to complete the shot.

Federico helplessly spread his hands to Li Huan and said, "When you encounter a group of turtles, how can you fight this game." ”

Li Huan smiled and said, "It's easy to pull out their [***] and fight." ”

"How?"

'Create free-kicks on the edge of the box and I'll try to take them out with free-kicks.

Li Huan said: "Now the tactics have no effect, that is, we have to rely on long-range shots and free kicks to solve the problem." You shout. Hard assault on them. Pull out their [***], and we'll just beat them, disgusted by their way of playing, when we're Bayern Munich. ”

"Good. It's the only way to try," Federico said without any confidence, he had been mentally prepared to be in the limelight before the game, assist or score, but now he was beaten by the opponent's lewd style of play, if the game was drawn or lost, Federico doubted that he would have a psychological disorder in the future.

Under the shameless pressure of the opponent, the players in the Karlsruhe team began to take the ball alone, force the opponent, create a free kick to challenge the goalkeeper, or try to threaten the opponent with a long shot at various angles, but there is no dribbling master in the Karlsruhe camp, and the opponent is three or two people come up to grab it, it is difficult to get a good free kick, and the long shot is also very difficult, there are so many people standing in the penalty area, and the long shot is either on the person or the anti-aircraft gun.

The Karlsruhe fans in the stands were even more angry, turning from boos to curses, and scolded loudly; "Hurry up and go back to De C, De B is not suitable for turtles!" "Bastard! Go back! Don't come out and be embarrassed! ”

With 40 minutes to go, Karlsruhe finally got a free-kick that Federico's long-range shot deliberately hit the opponent's arm.

The free-kick was taken about thirty minutes from Higan's goal, on the left side of the box.

Seeing that the team got the opportunity to take a free kick, almost all the fans on the scene shouted in unison: "Let Xiao Li Feidao kill the shrinking turtle!" "Xiao Li Flying Knife! Xiao Li Flying Knife! ......" The fans turned the depression in their hearts into shouts, and they couldn't wait for Li Huan to hit the ball directly and teach this shameful team a lesson, the fans didn't refer to any one at this time, the opponents were all extremely obscene turtles, from the club chairman to the coaches and players had already scolded them all over again.

Li Huan has established his position as the main penalty taker of free kicks and penalty kicks during this time, almost all of his penalty kicks are scored, and his free kicks, as long as they are not passes, but direct shots, have solved the problem

Seeing that the opponent was even more obscene than him, Li Huan moved his firm belief that he must kill this hateful and hateful opponent. He still put the ball on the table with a smile, while scolding the opponent's eighteenth generation ancestor, he began to step back and measure his steps, he was not too sure of the 30-meter free kick, but now all the hopes are pinned on him, Li Huan must shoot directly no matter what, for this group of beasts in Xigen, passing is of little use.

Higan's goalkeeper Mark is very nervous, this is a conversation between him and Li Huan, Higan is a team in the North Rhine region, he knows a little bit about Li Huan, knows what this Chinese's nickname is, "Little Li Flying Knife Case" sounds like a myth, more like a joke to say, but you must not be careless, even if it is difficult to match under the fame, there must be two brushes, teammates as turtles are actually very aggrieved and hard, who does not want to press the opponent to kick hard, but there is no money and strength, And they want to be alive in the high-level league, and that's all they have to do. The opponent's attack is so strong, do you still want the team to open up the attack with them, now his teammates can help him is limited, he has lined up enough people, 7 people, this is almost the limit. The rest is up to him. Mark smiled wryly and looked at the angry faces and disdainful middle fingers in the stands, and moved his hands, feet and waist, no matter what the opponent's fans and players thought, he must not let the opponent score. At all costs, to get the team off to a good start, every point is important for them.

The referee's whistle blew.

Li Huan ran in front of the ball like a whirlwind, applied all the kinetic energy of running to his legs, and then rushed forward with the force of picking up his thick thighs, driving his calves, and suddenly exerting force when the outside instep touched the ball, and Li Huan's body, which was huge and habitual, rotated almost 360 degrees. The ball flew over the wall and toward the goal with a soul-rending whistling.

Mark has been observing the free kick taken by Li Huan all over his body, the outside instep should be an S ball, Mark is ready, but the moment the ball leaves his feet, Mark knows that he is finished, because the speed is too fast, it doesn't matter if the ball flies out of the S type C or B type in the air, he has no time to pounce.

Mark's hand was halfway out, and the ball flew defiantly into the net from the far corner where he was, and bounced into the net provocatively at the post, but it also made a dull thud when it hit the post.

The loud bang shook the depression in the hearts of everyone in the stadium except for Higan, and the sullenness of nearly forty minutes was vented at this moment, and everyone couldn't help but shout "Okay! Then came the frantic shouts and applause, and the sound of the mountain and tsunami shook the hugging couples so hard that they could not hear what they were saying to each other.

Commentator Wagram's excited voice quickly passed to everyone's hearts, "Lee scored an unparalleled free kick that broke the dullness of nearly forty minutes, broke the opponent's iron bucket formation, and in front of his free kick, Higan's goalkeeper Mark had nothing to do, he could only look at the ball and sigh......" The commentator's excited words did not even leave a pause, like a long sentence, until he completely expressed his suppressed emotions, the commentator returned to his normal tone.

Even the chairman of the VIP box, Sailer, the former mayor, a real gentleman, couldn't help but shout "!" Then he hugged William tightly.

Becker and Hoss hugged each other tightly, they had waited too long for this ball.

Li Huan held the ground with his hands, stabilized his body that was about to fall, stumbled to the fan stands, and shouted to the fans in the stands.

Suddenly, there was a burst of "Lee!" on the court again. "Lee!" Although many German fans can't call Li Huan's name, this does not prevent them from loving this young Chinese.

Forty minutes of humiliating efforts came to naught, and all the Higan fans stared at the net in disappointment, not knowing what it was like or what they were going to do next. There were a little over five minutes left in the first half.

When the game restarted, not only the score on the field, but also the mentality changed completely, Karlsruhe was like a rainbow, suppressing the opponent's wild attack, the attack at this time was completely different from the anxious and depressed attack before the goal, now they are playing very cool, there is already a 1-0 bottom, they are now abusing the opponent, just like Li Huan said, they have found out [***], why not tease him well.

The stormy attack continued until the whistle blew in the first half, and the Higan players walked towards the dressing room like lost dogs, and they had to be prepared for a more violent second half, and the opponents were so aggrieved by them.

The high-spirited Karlsruhe players returned to the locker room and caught Li Huan and poured champagne on him, but Becker quickly stopped their playfulness, Becker said: "Don't be careless, in fact, we didn't see the real strength of the opponent in the whole first half of this game, they just kept shrinking. The second half will be a real football game. We're going to keep attacking and get the season off to a good start with a hearty win, but we can't be careless, the defenders have to be relaxed and have the right time. Speaking of which, Becker glanced at Li Huan. These words were actually a reminder to Li Huan. He still wasn't at ease enough with Melkan, afraid that Li Huan would accidentally be blown up by him, and now that Li Huan was his baby, he couldn't let Li Huan's self-confidence suffer any blow. There are always ups and downs in the performance of young people.

Li Huan didn't look at Becker, and said as if talking to himself: "Don't worry, no one can easily up, and I don't know who blew up whom." ”
