Chapter 944: A Little Higher! Faster!
The arrival of John Terry and Kurt Zouma has once again blocked Lin Yu's attack, so he plans to change his strategy and let his teammates pass more difficult balls, so that he can take the initiative.
Because of Lin Yu's performance all the time, his teammates have a lot of trust in him, since he said so, then do what he says.
Soon, Bale came to a cross, which was really faster and higher than the previous pass, which made Terry, who had very good header ability, helpless, because his bounce power could not be compared with Lin Yu, and he couldn't touch the ball at all.
When Kurt Zouma and Terry gave up on the ball, they found that there was a man in the air, and it was Lin Yu who jumped high and then smashed it down with a hard head, and the ball hit the crossbar hard, and then bounced out of the baseline.
This goal is also bad luck, otherwise it would have gone in.
Terry and Zuma also had palpitations when they saw Lin Yu's figure falling, this kid's bounce power is inevitably a little too terrifying, jumping so high, and being able to make such a standard header action, this guy is terrible.
Kuruma and Lin Yu have no contact, because when he came to Chelsea, Lin Yu had already left, but Terry knew Lin Yu, when he was in Chelsea before, Lin Yu was not so powerful, but I didn't expect this kid to grow up again.
"Special team, is this ball a mispass? So ...... high," Zouma asked Terry.
"Mistakes? I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but you should see that even if he misses the pass, he can get it. So be careful, you can't go wrong with being careful. Terry admonished.
"Oh. I know. ”
As it turned out, Terry's fears were not unfounded. Regardless of whether Bale's pass just now was a mistake or not, Lin Yu's ability to reach the ball was the most terrible thing.
The next attack came again.
This time the passer was replaced by Cristiano. Ronaldo.
Different directions, but the same is that the ball is very fast and has a high arc, and the average person can't top it at all, unless you wait for the ball to reach the back point.
"Ronaldo's pass is fast and high, can Lin Yuding get it?" The narrator was a little worried.
But soon, Lin Yu told him the answer, in a position where others thought it was impossible to reach the ball. He leaped high again and headed the ball back, not much power but not slow, only to be blocked by the brilliant Cech with his fingertips, and then Azpilicueta scurried to clear the ball with a big foot.
"This Nima ......"
"Nima is too disagreeable, right, can you reach it so high?" Terry burst into a foul mouth nervously.
"yes, that's outrageous, if he really scored like that. Wouldn't it be a lot of trouble. Zouma said worriedly.
Behind them, Cech interjected: "Don't worry, he can top the ball like this, although he can do it, but there is a big flaw." When the strength is enough, the crosshairs are not enough, and when the crosshairs are enough, the strength is not enough, just leave it to me. You just don't let him get up and shoot. ”
"I hope so." Terry still can't rest assured, because of Lin Yu's ability. As Chelsea captain, he knows that best. I think when Lin Yu was still at Chelsea, his relationship with him was not bad.
Lin Yu doubled the ball, once off the ball and once was saved by Cech, which made Cristiano. Ronaldo was a little puzzled, so he stepped forward and asked: "Old man, this kind of ball is not easy to top, right?" ”
"Yes, it's not as good as a ball a little bit lower." Lin Yu didn't argue.
"Is that going back to the way you passed the ball before, I think you're tired too." Cristiano. Ronaldo was worried.
"I'm fine, Terry's prevention and control ability is very strong, don't underestimate this veteran, although he has a little problem with his character, but there is absolutely no problem with his technology. That's all I could do to be able to suppress him and that Zuma. Lin Yu said.
"Do you really want to continue?"
"Go on, don't you see? With such a header, they have basically given up on the aerial duel and this is my best chance! Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Okay then, you say continue, let's continue." Cristiano. Ronaldo nodded, although he didn't understand where Lin Yu got this confidence, but the performance of these three consecutive seasons had completely conquered him, and he trusted Lin Yu very much.
……
If you really want to say it, such a high, fast pass, it really has to be like what Cech said, it is very uncomfortable to stand up, the strength is enough, the crosshairs are not enough, the crosshairs are enough, the strength is not enough, Lin Yu is really uncomfortable to stand up.
But even if it's uncomfortable, he's going to do it.
It's not just about winning, it's about challenging yourself.
Because with the improvement of ability, Lin Yu can play such a competitive game in the game, so this is a rare challenge, a rare opportunity, others may think it is difficult, but in his opinion, it is an opportunity to hone himself.
Once he can top that ball well, who else can guard against his header in today's football?
In terms of jumping ability, Lin Yu's confidence is stronger than that of NBA basketball players, although his height is not as good as those basketball players, but he is very easy to dunk, and he has played a few basketballs before, so this is how confidence comes from.
When Cristiano. When Ronaldo's ball came over again, even the commentator couldn't help but complain: "This kind of pass is too high and too fast, this is the ball passed to the basketball player, not to the football player, of course, it would be much better if Lin Yu could use his hands." ”
"However, although such a ball is high, it is very fast, and it is difficult for the defenders in the penalty area to defend in time, because they can't judge where Lin Yu will go to the ball, and if we seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to score."
In fact, both commentators are right, if it is just a simple pursuit of height, and the ball speed is relatively slow, it will give the defenders in the penalty area more opportunities to stand and defend. Although you can't top the ball, you can get stuck in Lin Yu's position. You can't jump.
But now the pass is not only in height. And there is speed, Lin Yu will not stay there and wait for the ball all the time, he always plugs in all of a sudden, catches the speed of the run and jumps, so that he can jump higher and farther, so even if Terry and Zouma want to get in the position, it is very difficult, because Lin Yu is not in the penalty area at the moment of passing, how do you defend it? Do you want to go outside the restricted area? If it weren't for Lin Yu's speed. Forget it, it was purely his own flaws that were exposed, and at that time he didn't even need Lin Yu's header, Bale and Cristiano. Ronaldo can shoot on goal, after all, without the defense of the central defender, it is equivalent to opening the door.
This time, although Lin Yu hit the ball again, he flew it up, which is not to blame him. Because Terry was in a hurry, he stepped forward and pushed him hard as he ran.
If Lin Yu had chosen to give up the aerial duel and go straight to the ground, then John Terry would certainly not have escaped a yellow card and Chelsea would have faced the fate of a penalty.
It's not Lin Yu's kindness, it's really that he doesn't have the habit of falling. This may be a shortcoming in the eyes of many, but in his opinion, it is her principle. He's not going to win on penalties like that, it's just boring.
Terry's action startled Mourinho on the sidelines. Giving the opponent a penalty at this time is tantamount to suicide.
And after doing that. John Terry was also apprehensive, and when he returned to the box, he struck up a conversation with Cech and Kurt Zouma.
"Damn, that kid is too difficult to deal with, he can't stop him without fouling."
"It's better to be careful, fortunately he doesn't like fake falls, otherwise we would be miserable today."
"yes, if he really didn't hold his weight and fell to the ground just now, I would have become a sinner."
"Okay, don't blame yourself, let's continue to defend hard, I'm here on this side of the goal, you two just try to make trouble for him." Cech concluded.
"That's all there is to it!"
……
Although Terry was apprehensive because of a foul, he also knew that if there was no physical contact, they would not be able to stop Lin Yu no matter what, so in the next game, he and Zouma were more not going to the ball, but to Lin Yu.
In the eyes of the fans, this is no longer a football game, but a hand-to-hand fight.
Terry and Zouma have used all means, pulling, pulling, bumping, tripping, pushing, blocking, all the eighteen weapons that can be described as fouls have come in handy, and Mourinho on the sidelines and Chelsea fans are shocked.
They will go to the referee from time to time, for fear that the referee will not think of it for a while, and directly give Terry and Zouma a red card, and then give Real Madrid a penalty.
Everyone knows that such a foul strategy is not a long-term solution after all, you can't just keep doing it because Lin Yu refuses to fake falls, the referee is not blind, his patience is limited, so finally the referee who couldn't bear it showed a yellow card to Terry and Zuma, but did not award a penalty, because the referee chose a very interesting place to play the card, which was exactly the yellow card shown by Zouma and Terry when they fouled outside the penalty area.
Probably the referee didn't want a game ruined by a penalty, but if it went on, he wouldn't mind doing it.
Some Chelsea fans blame John Terry and Kurt Zouma for playing too dirty, which will be gossiped about, but how do they know the hardships of these two, can you prevent Lin Yu if you don't foul? Now Lin Yu, apart from doing this, do you have any other means to stop him?
Some experts and fans like to say that this and that, it is completely to catch up with the kung fu, if they let them go on the field to try, it is estimated that it is even more miserable than Terry and Zouma, and they may have already received a red card, after all, Terry and Zouma are still trying to restrain their actions, and they did not make too much, or hurt Lin Yu's fouls, just some actions that can affect Lin Yu, but not too much, and why the referee did not give them a red card.
In fact, Terry and Zuma both know very well in their hearts that it is dangerous to do this, but they just can't bear it, because if you don't do this, you can't effectively defend Lin Yu.
When Lin Yu jumped, if he didn't go up to touch him and drag him, then Lin Yu could comfortably hit the ball, and the result might be even more terrifying.
Such a small action is very annoying, if it weren't for Lin Yu, it would be hairy if he changed any striker, and he would have even fallen to the ground many times, and the referee would definitely give a penalty, because this is not a matter of once or twice, but has been doing this since they came on the field.
However, when Lin Yu got used to this little action, it was time for them to repay the debt.
In the face of the fouls of Terry and Zouma, Lin Yu did not do nothing, he was adjusting his way of topping the ball, and he was also adjusting his way of confrontation.
Don't forget, he's physically, he's got a lot of physicality and when he gets used to that kind of defending, it's the end for Chelsea.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have hardly had a decent counter-attack until the second half, and except for Eden Hazard's long-range shot from outside the box, which was quite threatening, the rest basically did not have a shot on goal.
So, now Lin Yu doesn't have to worry about his team conceding a goal, he just needs to make enough effort to break through this defensive door and put the ball into the Chelsea goal again. (To be continued......)
