Chapter 108: Falling Leaves
Houllier got up from the dugout and called Juninho Jr. to the sidelines, "Let them cut in, foul at the edge of the box, and tell Abidal that he played too cleanly." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After arranging it, Houllier sat back on the bench, his expression was calm, and his heart was the same, he didn't care about the score on the field at this time, in his opinion, since the state of his players today is maintained at a normal level, then there is nothing to worry about, and the equalizer is only a matter of time.
Regarding Fang Cai's goal, Houllier admitted that the cooperation was very beautiful, but there are still a lot of accidental elements, and there will be mistakes again, so Houllier is not worried about the opponent copying this goal again.
But the goal exposed a problem, and that was Abidal, who was told to make a change in the rest of the game, preferring to foul rather than block the wing corridor to avoid another disposition, and the opposing winger went straight into his own hinterland.
As a defender, there is nothing to blame for being broken through, defenders are already at a disadvantage against offensive players, and being broken through is commonplace; However, Abidal did not foul and block after the breakthrough, which is worthy of criticism, and his loss signaled the loss of the last layer of defense on the wing, which is extremely dangerous.
When the kick-off was restarted, Abidal immediately proved that he had heard Houllier's command with a side tackle, and it was Debichy who was ready to repeat the trick.
Under the loose penalty scale, Debich could no longer break through Abidal wantonly, so in the next ten minutes, the connection between Debich and Reeves came to an end.
Lyon broke through more than 10 steps in this short period of time, and after passing the ball more than ten steps through the midfield, the receiver began to dribble straight to the Lille defence, and Malouda and Govu on the wing also gave up their bottom crosses, cutting in frequently, and it was obvious that they were looking for opportunities for set-pieces.
In the 39th minute, former Chelsea midfielder Thiago received the ball in the middle and broke through two defenders of Lille in succession, and was shoveled to the ground by Jang Macon.
Thiago patted the grass clippings on his body and stood up.
The referee awarded a direct free-kick from Lyon.
The penalty spot is about 40 meters from the goal.
As a matter of course, this is a safe distance, and a free-kick of around 40 metres will not pose much of a threat to the goal.
However, the performance of the players on the field of Lille looked like a big enemy, some people may think that this is a big fuss, but the whole Lille fans will not think so, because standing behind the ball is Juninho Jr., a Brazilian who kicks free kicks as penalties, and has repeatedly used free kicks to penetrate the core of the Lille goal.
There are many free kick masters today, and their characteristics are also different, such as the arc of Becky, the elevator of Pirlo, and the heavy artillery of Carlos.
But there is one person who can kick the aforementioned free kick with his feet, and that is Juninho Jr.
And very few people have been able to maintain a fixed level of free-kick throughout their careers, but Juninho Jr. can.
He has scored more than five goals from free-kicks in each season at Lyon and has provided an assist for every seven indirect free-kicks.
If you rank the free-kick masters, Juninho Jr. can certainly be in the top five.
For most of the free-kick masters, they have a high-scoring area for free-kicks, while Juninho's area is the sum of all of them, with a great deal of certainty within 40 meters in front of the goal, with the front and sides of the penalty area and near the corner kick point;
For most free-kick masters, they have a fixed way to kick free kicks, while Juninho Jr. does not have a fixed way, arcs, heavy artillery, fallen leaves, elevators, near corners, far corners can be scored.
In the face of such a master of free kicks, it is impossible to be too cautious.
Lille's human wall was lined up and rowed, and goalkeeper Silva still felt inappropriate and unsteady, until the Lyon players were a little annoyed, Silva gave up the command and was ready to resign himself to fate.
Instead of getting involved in the wall, Reeves stood not far from the penalty spot, ready to fight back.
There was no need to arrange a running ball cover, everyone believed that it was Juninho Jr. who took the free throw.
Reeves looked enviously at the Brazilian behind the ball, free kicks are his weakness, he has not been able to find the trick, free kicks are different from sports shots, the distance will be a lot farther, that means that the distance of the ball flight is longer, the longer the flight distance, the more difficult it is to control the change of the ball path, it requires extremely accurate calculations, and it is necessary to know what kind of arc will be brought by hitting different parts of the ball at how far and with how much force. You need to consider how the curve changes caused by the direction of the wind, and you need to consider how the kicking touch will affect the ball.
So if you want to consistently shoot the desired arc, this is by no means a simple matter, it requires constant exploration, so far, Reeves has not figured out the trick, and now there is a master free kick master standing in front of him, Reeves does not want to let go of this opportunity to learn.
The whistle blew and Juninho Jr. began to run.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Every step he made tugged at the nerves of the defenders.
Kicker! I drew it in the lower middle part of the soccer ball!
The football climbs straight from the ground, the ball speed is very fast, according to this line, first rise and then fall, then the ball will fly to the left dead corner, the dead corner is called the dead corner, because it is impossible to pounce on that angle without moving in advance, so Silva moved on the side in advance.
Damn, Reeves knew it was bad when he saw Silva's movements, because he was so close that he could see that the ball flying to the top of the human wall didn't spin in the air, and the ball was moving extremely fast, it was a deciduous ball!
The inventor of the defoliating ball is the legendary Brazilian star Didi, and in today's football, in addition to Albertini and Pirlo, of course, the most comprehensive free-kick master - Juninho.
Defoliating balls are known for their erratic direction, floating left and right in mid-air like fallen leaves, and Silva is definitely wrong to stand according to the current predicted trajectory.
Sure enough, as Reeves had expected, the ball was on a left-side trajectory as it crossed the wall, but then suddenly turned and flew to the right.
Damn it! It's a deciduous ball! Silva finally came to his senses, but it was too late, and the moment the ball flew over the wall, he had already flown towards the left corner of the goal, which was the direction of the ball's original trajectory.
Reeves still had one last chance in his mind, because he saw that the ball had not yet fallen, and that it should fly off the crossbar if it followed this line.
But the reality will soon be shattered.
Just as it was about to reach the goal, the ball plummeted and flew into the goal by grazing the lower end of the crossbar.
Fallen leaves!
