Chapter 13: One of the Fat Goalkeepers Becomes Famous (Part II)

Liu Xin has been training in the U19 echelon system for three months, and he feels that his ability has improved significantly, and the picture of Kahn has resurfaced in his mind, and he has mastered his technical characteristics. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info He now has Kahn's skills activated in the chip, and he doesn't know that the chip also includes those world-class goalkeepers. Kahn, the famous goalkeeper in the history of the German team, is the only goalkeeper in the history of the World Cup to win the Ballon d'Or. Kahn was the quintessential representative of goal-line goalkeepers, and his goal-line saves were definitely the best in his time, but he lacked them in terms of selection of attacks and control of the penalty area. This is reflected in Liu Xin's body.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are diligent in their preparation. And Liu Xin is one of them. The Bundesliga has reached the second half, and in the 31st round, Wolfsburg will play the leader Bayern Munich at home. Wolfsburg's number one goalkeeper Jench received a red card in the last game and was suspended for this game, leaving the remaining two goalkeepers injured and unable to play. Wolfsburg coach Magath had no choice but to turn to the U19 manager, who recommended Liu Xin. Magath accepted the recommendation of the Under-19 manager. Now Wolfsburg's standings are very solid, so Magath should train a rookie. Liu Xin himself didn't expect that his Bundesliga debut would be Bayern Munich, facing his idol Kahn.

On March 15, 2007, Wolfsburg hosted Bayern Munich. This one did not attract much attention in Germany, as they believed that Bayern would bloodied Wolfsburg. In China, this game has attracted the attention of fans across the country, because this game has Chinese appearance, only 16-year-old young player Liu Xin, and he is also a goalkeeper.

In the Wolfsburg locker room, Magath cheered up the players at the end, and finally walked up to Liu Xin to encourage him not to be nervous. Liu Xin agreed, but he was already panicking in his heart. When Liu Xin entered the field with the Wolfsburg players, the deafening cheers made him even more nervous, and he looked around the stadium, where today's public arena was full. Liu Xin looked at Bayern's lineup and swore in his heart, all the stars, score a few less for me, a few less for me.

After the two sides shook hands and the captain chose sides, the game was about to begin. Bayern Munich, who visited the Volkswagen Arena today, still lined up the main lineup. The goalkeeper is still the captain of the team, Kahn, and the back line from left to right is Lahm, Lucio, Van Bitten, and Sagnol. In midfield, Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger were partnered. The left and right wing-backs are Franck Ribery and Big Altentop respectively. The forwards are the first strikers in the Bundesliga this season, Tony and Klose. VfL Wolfsburg lined up with a 4231 formation, goalkeeper Liu Xin, and Schaefer, Madelen, Mermer and Van der Hayden in the back line. Santana and Gentena at the back, Bayer and Krzynovic on the wings, Brazilian veteran Marcelinho in the midfield, and Dzeko Dzeko in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The game was about to start, and Liu Xin touched the left and right goalposts and crossbars. At this time, Liu Xin's heart was no longer nervous at the beginning, but was looking forward to this game, what kind of performance he could have.

The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began. Bayern Munich kicked off first, Bayern Munich did not rush to the front after kicking off, and used tacit passing to cooperate with the back and forth in the midfield. VfL Wolfsburg tried hard but couldn't get the ball. Bayern Munich controlled the ball in the midfield, because Bayern Munich's formation was pressed forward as a whole, so the whole Wolfsburg team shrank in their own backfield, resulting in no defense in the midfield. Van Bommel took a relaxed look at the situation on the pitch and split to the left flank to find Ribery. Ribery used skillful technique to get past the clumsy Van der Heiden and crossed into the penalty area, Liu Xin stared closely at the trajectory of the ball, noticed Toney's running, so he stood in advance and prepared to save. Sure enough, Toney grabbed the first point and headed the ball into goal, but unfortunately Toney didn't hold it down and the ball went over the crossbar.

There was a pity in the commentary seat, ah, Bayern Munich just started attacking the Wolfsburg goal, can the young Chinese goalkeeper block Bayern Munich's tidal attack. VfL Wolfsburg had to use foul tactics to interrupt the pace of the game in the face of Bayern Munich's attack. In the fifth minute, Gentner fouled Ribery at the top of the box line and awarded a free kick. Fortunately, the referee was lenient and did not give cards. Piggy Sveinsteiger took the free kick, Liu Xin discharged six human walls to block the near corner of the goal, and stood near the far corner of the goal to defend. When the whistle blew, Schweinsteiger ran and kicked the ball, he chose to throw a penalty near corner, the ball perfectly crossed the high jumping wall, and then fell at great speed, Liu Xin couldn't save, so he had to watch the ball fly towards the goal. Boom! The ball slammed into the crossbar at the junction of the post and the crossbar, before bouncing into the box and being cleared off the touchline by Wolfsburg's Gentner. Wolfsburg escaped again. Schweinsteiger covered his head and ran back, while Liu Xin was shocked into a cold sweat.

As the game progressed, Wolfsburg slowly adapted to the rhythm of Bayern Munich's game, without the awkward defense at the beginning. Liu Xin is also playing more and more consistently, and he can find his teammates very accurately with long passes. In the 25th minute, Marcelinho dribbled too much in the midfield and was tackled by Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger combined, Van Bommel grabbed the ball and sent a through plug directly to the Wolfsburg central defender's space to tear apart the opponent's defense. Klose had already formed a single knife when he got the ball. By this time, the commentators in the commentators in the Wolfsburg stands were already excited, and they seemed to foreshadow the goal. The commentators of the Chinese sports station became anxious.

Klose rushed forward with the ball, and now only Liu Xin was left in front of him. It's a one-on-one battle between a striker and a goalkeeper. Okay, Liu Xin has already attacked, Klose wants to shoot, beautiful, Liu Xin was not shaken off by Klose's pick, on the way to attack, he lowered his center of gravity and sent the ball that was about to cross his head with both fists, a beautiful attack. ā€œ

On the field, Klose was remorseful, and Liu Xin stood up and roared and clapped his hands. When Liu Xin attacked just now, he thought of the picture of Buffon's attack, a world-class goalkeeper. Gianluigi Buffon's versatility is unique among goalkeepers in the world, and his second reaction in particular is unmatched. Liu Xin succeeded in inspiring a skill at a critical moment. Liu Xin can't relax, Bayern Munich still has corner kicks. Bayern Munich's corner kick came out, and Liu Xin, who was just 16 years old and was already 183 tall, broke the ball with both fists.

"Oh, this is Liu's performance moment, it's hard to believe he's only 16 years old, it's hard to believe he's Chinese. Oh, by the way, we can't turn him into a German. So says a commentator for German sports television.

The scene returned to calm, and the two sides started a tug-of-war in the midfield, Wolfsburg could not pass to Bayern Munich's front field continuously, and could only destroy it with big feet, while Bayern Munich could control the ball but could not tear Wolfsburg's iron bucket formation. The time of the game went to 45 minutes with such a tug-of-war, and the referee ended the first half of the game, relying on the combined play of Liu Xin and the goalpost. Keep Wolfsburg on goal. It is worth noting that Wolfsburg did not have a single shot on goal in the first half.

In the dressing room at Wolfsburg, Magath praised the team's performance, especially Liu Xin.

The second half started with no substitutions on either side. VfL Wolfsburg kicked off, Dzeko passed to the backfield, Wolfsburg was backwards in the backfield, saw Klose and Toni pressing to find Dzeko with a big foot, Dzeko resisted Van Bitten, grabbed the first drop point, and gave the ball to Marcelinho, Marcelinho shot with the outside of his instep 20 meters from the goal, the ball shot out with a strong external rotation, the ball was still in the middle of the air, relying on external rotation to the right side of the goal and with a significant fall. Karn took his position and focused on squeezing the ball out. It was Wolfsburg's first shot of the game, so it was dangerous. The former German footballer of the year has dedicated countless classic long-range shots in the Bundesliga. One of the most impressive was undoubtedly a lob shot from 48 yards out of goal against Freiburg. Although he is older now, his long-range shooting skills are still there. Wolfsburg started the second half and it was clear that Bayern Munich's players had not yet recovered from a first-half miss. Bayern Munich have also paid the price for such a form. In the 60th minute of the game, Wolfsburg scored unexpectedly, Marcelinho passed the ball to Bayer, and when Bayer crossed, Sagnol was in the middle, and there was no one in front of him, and he passed a high ball into the penalty area, and Bayern Munich's two central defenders were collectively stunned, allowing Dzeko to score with an easy header. This displeased the Lion King Karn, who cursed the defenders in front of goal. Perhaps it was Kahn's scolding that woke up the Bayern Munich generals, or perhaps the giants' self-esteem was insulted. Bayern Munich instead recovered their strength in the first half after conceding a goal and began to bombard Wolfsburg.

In the 65th minute, Ribery cut the goal, the angle of the shot was too positive, and Liu Xin was firmly pressed under him. In the 69th minute, Klose received a cross from Lahm and his header was saved by Liu Xin off the crossbar. Ribery took a corner, but this time instead of hoisting the ball into the box, he sent it towards the edge of the box. Van Bommel was in ambush right here, meeting the ball with a furious shot, which was fast and headed straight for goal. Liu Xin has been concentrating, barely blocking the ball, and moving to the vicinity of the small penalty area, not good! Klose appeared on the six-yard line and leaped high to head into the empty net. Liu Xin was ready to give up, but the image of Karn suddenly appeared in his mind. He quickly adjusted his centre of gravity and stretched out his body to save in the direction of Klose's header. Did you score!!??? Liu Xin's body was already inside the goal line, and he fished out the ball alive when it crossed the goal line. When Klose saw this, he knelt on the lawn in a daze, not making any movement.

"Oh, mygad, is this true, god-like save, although Kahn is there, I have to say that Liu Xin performed better." The commentators on the German side have exploded. China's commentators are already preparing their statements.

The court presented two days of joy and sorrow. The Wolfsburg generals all ran in front of Liu Xin, patted him on the head, and encouraged each other. Bayern Munich's players gathered around the referee to signal that the ball had crossed the goal line. Of course, this is also the case, the replay of the stadium has been seen very clearly, the moment Liu Xin pounced on the ball, the ball had crossed the goal line as a whole. Unfortunately, there was no goal-line technology at the time. As long as the referee does not change the decision, the goal is not scored. The faces of the Bayern Munich players were wilted like frosted eggplants. The old coach Heathfield, who was on the sidelines, also had a serious expression and didn't say a word. Bayern Munich played chaotically in the rest of the game and obviously wanted to end the game quickly. The final score was fixed at 1-0, and Wolfsburg were lucky to beat Bayern Munich to end their opponent's ten-game winning streak. The Bayern Munich players walked off the field with expressions on their faces, as long as Kahn took the initiative to congratulate his teammates in Wolfsburg, especially the young Liu Xin. It also symbolizes a kind of inheritance.

After this game, Liu Xin's fame was already better than Du Jiayi, who was in Ketbus at the time. There are also rumours in the media that Bayern Munich are ready to buy the youngster to fill the position of Kahn, who is due to retire at the end of the season.

Everything became a reality. Liu Xin only played this game that season, and the result made Germany remember him, and it was also this game that made Bayern decide to buy him. During the transfer period of the Bundesliga in the 0809 season, Bayern Munich bought Liu Xin at a low price of 5 million euros, and the two sides signed a three-year official contract. Bayern then sent him to the Hamburg club. Liu Xin spent two years at Hamburg FC and played in all the Bundesliga games that season as a regular in the second year. In the third year, he returned to Bayern to take over the position left by Rensing, and began his career as a Bayern goalkeeper until now, and has been playing for 5 years, truly becoming the first person in China to stay abroad.

Liu Xin remembered these sad and glorious pasts, and smiled indifferently. He thinks he's only 24 years old and has a long career ahead of him. He looked up at the clock, it was already 11 o'clock at night, it was time to go to bed, and the first round of the Bundesliga would start tomorrow.
