Chapter 258: The Necessary Qualities of Being a World-Class Goalkeeper (The Third Month)

After Chen Yingying helped his side equalis, Liverpool were content and they got an away goal. In addition, there are still forty-five minutes left in the game, and they still have a chance. Time is running out until the end of the first half, and Liverpool will be safe not to concede another goal in those final minutes......

So by the end of the first half, the score was 1:1.

However, during this time, Layali's performance was a little wrong. He has not yet recovered from the shadow of conceding the ball, but what he is best at has been ruthlessly shredded by others, and the young Layali cannot accept this fact for a while.

Fortunately, Liverpool did not continue to attack in the first half, otherwise Liverpool might have reversed the lead in the first half.

As soon as the first half was over, Buffon got up from his seat and walked straight onto the pitch.

He really liked the boy Layali and thought he was humble and hardworking. He also hopes that Layly can take over his squad at Juventus and the Italian national team.

So seeing that Layali has faced a test in his career, he has to help him through it with the identity and experience he has come here.

As a goalkeeper, it's actually the way to go.

He stepped forward quickly, then put his arm around Layali's shoulder.

Laiali was still blaming himself and shocked, when he was suddenly hugged and startled.

He looked up and found that it was his idol and teacher, Buffon.

"Don't take it personally, Nikola. You've been perfect, and this ball has nothing to do with you. ”

"But, but...... Ji'an, I jumped early, and the direction was right, I think I can definitely stop it...... Something like this shouldn't happen to me......" Layali looked frustrated.

Buffon grabbed his hair with his hand.

"Stupid, how can there be a ball that can be stopped? You have to remember, Nikola. Today's game may be the most valuable lesson in your upbringing. You blocked the shot of the best center on the planet, and you let him score...... That's the game of football. There's nothing you can definitely stop, and when you think so, you're not far from conceding a goal. You are

The goalkeeper must not make a mistake because if you make a mistake, you will pay a very heavy price. So no matter what the situation, you have to give your full attention and treat every shot you take as if it were the hardest ball to save. ”

Buffon said to him as he walked off the pitch with his arms around Lealli. He spoke slowly, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible, he didn't want to provoke Lyali and make the other party think he was blaming him.

He was to be like a friend, to be kind to Layali.

Under his guidance, Layali's mood finally calmed down.

Buffon patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, didn't you just lose a goal?" Cheer up! ”

Then he looked left and right, and lowered his voice to Lyali, "I have something unpleasant, Nikola. If you want to become a world-class goalkeeper, you have to be mentally prepared to be abused. You can't be a world-class goalkeeper without pouting and picking up a couple of balls from the goal. ”

Hearing Buffon say this suddenly, Layali was surprised: "Why do you say that, Gian? ”

"When you've been through such a bad game, if you haven't been knocked down by bad luck, you have the mental qualities to be a world-class goalkeeper. The next step is nothing more than the honing of skills and the accumulation of experience. ”

Layali nodded thoughtfully.

When Buffon saw that he had listened to him, he rubbed his hair again.

"You played really well in the first half, I didn't say that to encourage and comfort you, it's true." Buffon gave him a thumbs up. "Just play like that in the second half, Nikola."

"I will, Gian. I won't let you down! The boy made a promise to his idol and master.

Buffon smiled and stroked his hair.

The 1:1 score did not raise the morale of the Juventus players, after all, they allowed the opponent to score an away goal.

But no one blames Layli's goal.

It's really not his responsibility to concede the goal, if there must be someone responsible, it can only be captain Chiellini.

But how can you go to the captain's trouble? Naturally, no one will say anything about this lost goal - just think that you are unlucky, admit it.

It is not time to think about who is responsible for conceding the goal.

It's about thinking about what to do in the second half.

Conte was pleased with the team's performance, which shows that he was guiding correctly. As for Chen Yingying's goal, there is really no way...... Chiellini can't be blamed for that goal, because if Chiellini doesn't defend back, the space behind him will also be exploited by Liverpool.

He chose to make up for the vacancy behind him, but he didn't expect Chen Yingying to seize the opportunity and score such a goal......

And that kind of ball, let alone Layali, even if Buffon comes, he may not be able to save it.

He really had nothing to say.

The atmosphere in Liverpool's dressing room was slightly more relaxed. Because Liverpool have already scored an away goal. Half of the task is already completed.

It would be even better if one more victory could be taken away. But if not, then there is nothing to regret, 1:1 can ensure that Liverpool has more room for maneuver when returning to home, even if it loses 1:2, Liverpool only needs to win 1:0 to eliminate Juventus.

The tactics in the second half are also very simple, it is still a defensive counterattack, and if there is an opportunity to attack, it will be handed over to the four people in the front court, and they will deal with it.

Chen Yingying's goal is a good indication that the tacit understanding of the frontcourt attack combination has been cultivated.

※ ※ ※

The break went on quickly and there were no problems for either side.

Juventus will definitely continue to attack, this is their home stadium, and being held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool is considered a failure.

So it's definitely going to be a goal, try to score as many goals as possible, and have a few more clean sheets on top of the win, so as to pave the way for the next leg of promotion.

On Liverpool's side, the 1:1 score has made them invincible. Then they just need to defend and counterattack, and if they have the opportunity, they will play a counterattack, and if there is no good opportunity, they will continue to defend.

And just like that, the second half began.

The scene didn't change much from the first half.

It's all Juventus besieging Liverpool, and Liverpool is pulling a cold shot and hitting a counterattack or something.

At the end of the first half, Layali's performance worried many critics. Because after conceding the goal, Lealli obviously suffered a blow.

So they all felt that if Layli couldn't get out of this mental state, Juventus would just concede the goal in the second half.

Unexpectedly, after the start of the second half, everyone quickly found that Layali swept away the slump at the end of the first half.

He's back to normal!

The proof is that he blocked a powerful shot from Suarez in front of goal. Suarez shot with a lot of power, but he was able to hold the ball firmly and not let go.

That's enough to show that Suarez was focused when he was shooting.

This made many Juventus fans breathe a sigh of relief.

Lealli is normal, and Juventus is missing a big hidden danger.

Seeing this save from Layali, Buffon couldn't help but applaud his apprentice off the field.

Chen Yingying looked at Layali.

The kid wasn't even affected by his goal in the first half. It took an intermission to recover.

Interesting, very interesting!

His evaluation of Layali went from "a little interesting" at the beginning, to "somewhat interesting" later, and then to "very interesting" today. This process of change also illustrates the importance he attaches to Layali from the initial ignorance to the present.

This is a good goalkeeper, all he lacks is experience......

However, wouldn't it be more rewarding to beat such a good goalkeeper?

Now that Buffon is about to retire, let's beat the new Buffon himself!

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingying quickly tested Layali's color with a long-range shot.

This time he held the ball firmly under him and didn't even give a corner to Liverpool.

Then Juventus surrounded Liverpool's half, and it was a wild bombardment.

Chen Yingying retreated to the middle circle.

However, his task is not to defend, but to ...... Wait for the counterattack.

he

, Juventus attacked like crazy, and Liverpool's defense was under a lot of pressure.

So he actually didn't have much chance to play with this Lealy, he had to score as soon as possible and completely open up the situation.

Didn't someone criticize him for having the most shots in the Premier League before?

Then he wants to let those people see now whether he is the king of prodigal shooting!

Efficiency, this game is to test their own scoring efficiency.

※ ※ ※

It took a long time for Juventus to bombard Liverpool to get a chance to counter-attack, and for such a short time, Liverpool's counter-attack could not be played at all, because they could not even pass half time.

Therefore, if it comes to Liverpool's counterattack, whether it is a pass or a lead, it will definitely be able to get the football through the center circle.

Just like this time.

Chen Yingying got the ball in the middle circle. He had his back to the attack, and behind him was Chiellini, who was stubbornly holding himself up.

He couldn't turn around. But he didn't plan to turn around.

With his physical advantage, he ignored Chiellini's interference and calmly distributed the ball to the wing. Given to Sanchez on the right.

Another counterattack!

The noise of the new Alpi Stadium suddenly increased, and the voices of the commentators also increased.

"Liverpool is coming! Liverpool is here again! This time it's Sanchez! ”

This situation reminded them of Chen Yingying's goal in the first half, is it going to be repeated again this time?
