Chapter Twenty-Eight: Bad Long Shot (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)

The game continued, and the Leberniki team completely gave up the attack and concentrated on the defense.

"The game has been going on for 75 minutes, and with more than 10 minutes to go until the end of the game, the game has become a stalemate, and the defensive Leberniki team is very solid, and the Lille team, which lacks a high striker, can do nothing about it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Dugarry in the commentary booth chatted casually with guest Angeloma.

Angeloma also nodded, "After expanding the score again, the Lille team began to practice different offensive routines, but because the away team was too dense in the penalty area, Lille's offensive effect was very poor. ”

"At this time, you should try more long-range shots, maybe there will be an unexpected gain."

Reeves thought the same way, the front of the box and the box were full of people, and he tried a few strong bursts, but the effect was poor.

Reeves' size and technical characteristics dictate that he needed space to break through, and now that the box was full of players from both sides, he had just accelerated past one man before someone helped to clear the ball; As soon as he had deceived one person by making a feint, someone blocked the way and poked the ball away.

At this moment, Reeves can't wait to incarnate as the "King of the Forbidden Zone" Romario.

Everyone knows the king of the small penalty area - Van Nistelrooy, there is a saying that this "small penalty area" is actually not a small penalty area on the field, but the lone wolf Romario also has a nickname called "the king of the penalty area", and Van Nistelrooy became famous later and his strength is slightly inferior, so he is called "the king of the small penalty area". Of course, this is just a statement, but the strength of the lone wolf Romario in the entire penalty area is unquestionable.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Romario's ability to break through dense defence on his own can be ranked first in history, and there are many reasons for this.

The first is physical fitness, the height of 168cm is not only low but also stocky, and the pace is fast, which is very suitable for moving in the penalty area.

The second is passing skills, the ability to change ankles can be called immortal, and the range of the forbidden area is extremely concise, and there is no need for space to do superfluous movements.

The third is the ability to shoot, with clever shooting skills and precise angles, and his shooting is unmatched in terms of variability and grasp of gaps. Especially in extreme environments, the ability to change your shooting skills is very strong.

The fourth is the psychological quality, his mentality is stable and strong, and the lone wolf is very strong in the ability to interpret the psychology of defenders and goalkeepers in a fleeting offensive and defensive situation.

So no matter how many people stand in the penalty area, the lone wolf Romario has a way to find a chance to shoot. The lone wolf's performance in the 94 World Cup is the benchmark for the king of the penalty area.

At that time, Brazil often pressed the opponent to play, such as the United States, Sweden, Cameroon, etc., and the number of defenders in front of the penalty area was dense, and there was little space for play.

The lone wolf gave full play to his killer sense of smell and short-range breakthrough ability near the penalty area, and became one of the most effective offensive means of the Brazilian team's secret defense.

But Reeves, unlike Romario, relied more on split-second acceleration and intricate skill than on a concise approach that was not suitable for dribbling the ball in a tight defence. And the opposing player has a clean foot, and it is difficult to get a foul through the dribble.

Reeves didn't want to do nothing, he thought, it's better to try long-range shooting, although his long-range shooting ability is poor, the angle can't be guaranteed, but the strength is still guaranteed, no matter whether the angle of the ball is good or not, the goalkeeper is easy to get rid of, and the teammates who rush to the penalty area have a chance to pick up the leak.

Reeves started to raise his hand for the ball, and he decided, he was going to try a few shots.

Looking to the side, it was Debich who was dribbling and torturing the opposing full-backs, but fortunately it wasn't Keita, Keita couldn't pass the ball at all when he was excited, and Debich was much better.

Standing at the top of the arc of the penalty area, Reeves shouted: "Mathieu! ”

Debich heard the voice, looked up at the position of Shaws, and did not hesitate to pass the ball over with a diagonal pass.

Reeves unloaded the ball from his chest, and glanced at the defender on his side, the guy was only defending himself, not sticking to the defense, just a few steps behind him, another visiting player was also waiting there, ready to poke the ball that Reeves had dialed after a successful pass, and then back to the left, where Popov was also waiting.

The Leberniki defenders are confident that they have managed to defend several of Reeves' breaches in this way.

Reeves turned to dribble the ball and the visiting defenders thought he was going to break through, but they just got in position and were ready to see Reeves' next step before deciding whether to stretch out his leg for a tackle or follow closely.

Reeves didn't have the next step, he stopped, raised his foot to shoot a long shot, the posture was very beautiful, but he was still disturbed by the opposing defenders rushing up, so the quality was not very good, the football shot high into the stands, and the cheers in the mouths of the fans turned into sighs.

Cabaye couldn't hold back his joy on the bench, lying on Fowegay's back and laughing and panting.

Reeves himself laughed, it was so outrageous that he forgot to adjust his posture, was disturbed, and didn't hold the ball down.

But it didn't matter, three minutes later, Reeves made a quick stop to get rid of a defender, and another long-range shot near the top of the arc of the penalty area, this shot converged the amplitude of the swing of the leg, which was different from the previous posture, the body did not adapt for a while, did not kick out the power, the ball was very floating, and was easily collected in the arms of the goalkeeper.

"Reeves tried another long-range shot, but the quality was still very poor, and it seems that the rumors are true, and long-range shots are not his forte." Dugarry smiled and shook his head.

"It should have been the manager's arrangement, Reeves frequently pulled the ball outside the box, received the ball with his back to the goal, and didn't have the slightest idea of getting into the box."

The conscience of heaven and earth, Puel did not arrange it like this, but just told the midfielders to try more long-range shots, and Reeves' task was to see luck in the penalty area to pick up leaks.

Veteran captain Collot, who is now an assistant coach of the Lille team after retiring, has a high regard for Reeves. At this moment, seeing Reeves's frequent long-range shots, which was different from the previous arrangement, he was afraid of angering the head coach, so he got up and asked tentatively: "Do you need to remind Reeves and let him follow the established tactics, he shoots from a distance like this, a little reckless, he is still too young." ”

Puel, who was standing on the sidelines, smiled and shook his head: "The general trend has been decided, let him go." Korot sighed, as long as he wasn't angry.

Puel not only did not stop, but also pulled past Bodmeier, who took the throw-in, and arranged for Reeves to create more opportunities for Reeves to shoot from a distance.

This kid seems to use the stadium as a training base, and Puel doesn't care about the situation on the field, turns around and sits back in his seat.

As Puel thought, in addition to changing the situation on the field, Reeves did have the idea of practicing long-range shooting on the field, and began to try to change the way of long-range shooting.

The training pitch is different from the game, and Reeves wanted to take the opportunity to find the know-how on the pitch first, and then work on the training ground off the pitch to consolidate it.

Reeves retreated to the outside of the box and raised his hand again to ask for a pass.

Bodmeier, who was dribbling the ball, did so, a mid-range pick-up pass, Reeves chested the ball, leaned on the defender, flicked sideways, accelerated sharply, pulled out the gap, and raised his foot to shoot from a distance.

This time, Reeves adjusted his body, ate the right part, and had a lot of power from a distance, but the angle was too right, and there were too many people in the penalty area, and he coaxed the chest of Leberniki defender Popov.

Popov is 26 years old this year, is the main defender of the Macedonian national team, known for his physical strength, today was a little depressed, there is no fighting spirit, plus there is no Lille offensive player in the penalty area at the moment, Popov is a little absent-minded.

Seeing that the opponent's striker was shooting from a distance again, Popov didn't pay attention to it, this kid with a broken mouth had a very poor quality of long-range shots, and there was no threat at all, Popov's thoughts drifted away, thinking that he would be scolded when he returned to Macedonia.

At this time, a round shadow came from the feet of the opposing player, and when he heard the sound of the moment of hitting the ball, Popov knew that the ball was powerful, and seeing the flight path of the ball, he quickly realized the danger, and instinctively prepared to protect his chest with his hand, but as soon as his arm was halfway back, the ball had hit him in the chest.

Sharp pain hit his chest, Popov was completely out of breath, tilted his head down, and had only one thought in his mind except pain, that kid couldn't have done it on purpose, right?

The referee quickly stopped the game, and the Lebernicki team surrounded them, and the team doctor rushed to the field, checked it briefly, shook his head, and carried him off the field on a stretcher.

"Oh, poor Popov, it must have hurt to be kicked in the chest, it seems that it can't hold on, and the Leberniki team has replaced a young defender, 19-year-old Pandev, a member of the Macedonian Under-19 national team."

Reeves looked apologetically at the opposing defender who came out of the game, rubbing his nose, it really wasn't intentional, the angle was not mastered well, this ball only has power. Fortunately, seeing that Popov was helped to sit on the bench by the team doctor, it should be no big problem, and Reeves withdrew his gaze.
