Chapter 55 1000 Balls!

At the beginning of the new year, Shaq has become more motivated, he does want to surpass Pele's goals, but that doesn't mean that he is willing to stop at that number, there are more goals above Pele, and Shaq hopes to become a well-deserved No. 1, not only a comparison of the gold content of goals, but also a pure numerical comparison.

Shaq, who is about to turn 27, knows that he may be halfway through his career, and that he is unlikely to be at his peak for long, and it is really unrealistic to expect to score hundreds of goals in a season two or three years later.

Time was tight, which pushed Shaq to work harder and be more ...... in the game Desperately!

On January 4, Barcelona beat Villarreal 4-0 at home to win the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa del Rey, in which Shaq scored twice to increase his career tally to 971!

And then...... Shaq's 27th birthday is here!

It happened to be a holiday after the team's match day, and Shaq invited his teammates to visit during the day, and Jonny? Howson, Rooney and other good brothers called in England to congratulate him, and in the evening, he had time to sit in his study and think about what he had achieved in the past few years, and plan his exact goals for the future.

As the best player in world football today, Shaq can no longer look for motivation in others, he can only aim for the great players in history.

Looking at his current personal attribute panel, Shaq is both satisfied and a little disappointed, under the effect of his almost desperate training, shooting, catching, heading, long shot, technique, bravery, composure, concentration, influence, teamwork, work commitment and other attributes are still full value 20, but the decline in physical aspects cannot be compensated for by hard training, and can only achieve a delayed effect.

Now Shaq's explosiveness, flexibility, balance, physique, and endurance have all dropped to 18. The speed, strength, and bouncing sedan attributes are still 19, which is already very good compared to many players, but there is still a little disappointment for Shaq, who used to be a "superman".

But anyway, Shaq is still quite satisfied with his current situation, think about the soul crossing to Zack in the first place? Thompson was seriously injured in the first place. With the help of Blackfoot, he was able to achieve what he is today, and with a virtuous wife and lovely children, he knew he was one of the lucky ones.

Future...... I still have to work towards that goal!

Shaq knows that the player with the most goals in the world is Chinese football king Li Huitang, a super goal machine who has scored 1,860 goals in his career, although he has scored the most goals in the world, but the gold content is still much worse than Pele, Puskas, Stefano and others.

But...... There are many "veterans" in the football world who have played until they are over 40 years old, and with the help of the "black foot" system, can't they play until they are 40 years old?

And the 27-year-old Shaq has already scored almost 1,000 goals, if he can play until he is forty. Even if the goal rate is only half of the current one, there is definitely a chance to catch up with Li Huitang's goal record, and unconsciously, Shaq has not taken Pele's goal record to heart, and that record is really not much of a challenge for the current Shaq.

After a brief calculation, Shaq found that if he played until he was 40 years old, he would have to break the record for the number of goals scored by Lee Hye Tong. Almost 70 goals are scored every season, which is already an incredible number for modern football. At the beginning, Messi and Ronaldo performed like this at their peak, although they were ...... Well, it's a little bit perverted, but it's a bit unrealistic to wait until the form is down and then think about scoring 70 goals a season, so ...... It's better to take advantage of the current state and enter as much as you can!

January 8th. Shaq scored another brace to help Barcelona beat Villarreal 5-0 away to easily win the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa del Rey.

On January 12, in the sixteenth round of Barcelona's La Liga, the team's winning streak was finally suspended. Las Palmas were a goal down just 10 minutes at the Camp Nou at the expense of their own attack, but they equalised from a corner on 80 minutes, and Shaq's goal for Barcelona was ultimately unable to secure another victory.

Simon? When Grayson took the coaching staff to summarize the game, Gimenez came to look for trouble again, the 21-year-old central defender from La Masia, not Simon? Grayson asked for a transfer, but instead wanted the ball to be loaned out for workouts.

Gimenez's strength is still not weak, he has no problem playing as a substitute in the Barcelona team, and he has also played 6 games for the team this season, but the Catalan young man obviously wants the position of the main central defender, which determines that he must go out and continue to improve, and then he can compete with Rivero and Batista.

Simon? Grayson finally nodded after thinking about it, Barcelona's defensive lineup this season is quite abundant, the emergence of Du Xiaoguang and the stability of Rivero and Batista, plus Crisito can also play a cameo role as a central defender, there will definitely be no problem for half a season, if Gimenez's strength is improved to a level similar to that of Rivero and Batista, then Barcelona has earned it.

The result of the coaching staff meeting is that the team's tactics are fine-tuned, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is not a big deal, after all, the season is in the middle of the season, the players' physical fitness and state have entered a period of fatigue, Barcelona is normal if it does not lose, and it is really not for others to live if they continue to win, but the "brutal Simon" still took the opportunity to pay close attention to the team's mental outlook, and the "solar system tactics" that have been loosened have been strictly demanded, and the offensive direction of the team's frontcourt has been adjusted to Shaq again.

Effect of Tactical Tilt...... It's obvious!

In the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final away to Deportivo La Coruna on 15 January, Barcelona's attack exploded again.

In just 45 minutes of the first half, Shaq scored twice, and Vasquiz and Alabaa scored, and the away Barcelona beat the opponent 4:0 in the first half.

Although Barcelona played fiercely in the second half, after Deportivo paid the price of six yellow cards, Barcelona still failed to score again. In the end, they won 4-0 away.

Three days later, in the 17th round of La Liga, Shaq scored twice to help Barcelona beat Villarreal 4-1 at home.

In the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Deportivo La Coruna, who was playing away, learned to concentrate on defense, but lost to Barcelona again with a score of 0:2 under another brace from Shaq.

Shaq's form has been very consistent of late, although he hasn't scored three, four, five goals in a game. But he can always push the team forward with goals, and this ability to consistently score goals is what is really frightening.

Gimenez's loan spell paid off, as he opted instead of staying in Spain in Serie A, which is best suited for defensive player development, with AC Milan acquiring the talented centre-back after shelling out €1.5 million on loan.

Shaq's goal frenzy is not extinguished, and Barcelona naturally move forward step by step, even if not fast. But it has gradually widened the gap between itself and other competitors.

Back in February, after scoring a hat-trick to help Barcelona beat Valencia 7-0 at home, Shaq has scored 88 goals this season and 88 goals in 39 games, with an average goal efficiency of 2.25 per game, which is a lot worse than last season.

What's even more amazing is that with this hat-trick, Shaq's career total has finally reached 990. He was only 10 shy of his 1,000th goal, and Shaq's goalscoring ability was far between. Maybe three or four games will be enough to achieve that, and all eyes of Europe and the world will be on him, just waiting for the historic moment to come.

In the 21st round of La Liga on February 12, Shaq scored twice again, helping Barcelona beat Deportivo La Coruna 3-0 away, and the number of goals increased to 992.

February 15, the twenty-second round of La Liga. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-1 away, and Shaq scored another brace, reaching 994 goals!

Although Barcelona are already 12 points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid in the La Liga standings, no one cares about it, and everyone is waiting for the moment when Shaq will reach four figures.

There are currently seven players who have scored more than 1,000 goals in history, including Pele, Lee Huitang, Bindel, Matthews, Puskas, Bikan, and Friedenreck. But these people's goals are all added up to the goals of their official and informal games, and even the goals of the team's training matches are counted, and there are no game videos and pictures, only written records.

Relatively speaking, Shaq's goals are all official match goals, which has long surpassed those predecessors, plus Shaq has already completed the feat of individual championship "Grand Slam", and it is not an exaggeration to be called the greatest player in football history by countless people.

On February 19, Barcelona defeated Mallorca 3-0 at home, and Shaq scored another goal, bringing the total number of individual goals to 995!

On 23 February, Barcelona beat Murcia 4-1 away, with Shaq scoring another goal...... 996 pcs!

On February 26, Barcelona met CSKA Moscow away in the dialogue of the Champions League round of 16......

In the first half, Shaq scored three goals in 6 minutes, 16 minutes, and 32 minutes to help Barcelona lead the opponent 4:0 away, and his personal goal tally soared to 999!

The 1,000-goal mark is just one step away!

At halftime, the whole Barcelona team was encouraging Shaq, hoping that he could score the 1,000th goal of his career today, and Shaq himself was full of excitement, after all, it is definitely more meaningful to complete his 1,000 goals in the Champions League than in La Liga or the Copa del Rey, not to mention that this time is in the middle of a season, and it is indeed impossible to find any important games to complete the feat of 1,000 goals.

In the second half, Shaq got more chances, after all, the whole Barcelona team was creating chances for him, and at this time, there was no need for any so-called tactical tilt, everyone just wanted to help Shaq complete the 1000th goal!

However, CSKA Moscow's players are also desperate, they don't even go to defend anyone other than Shak, as long as Shaq gets the ball, there must be at least three people to surround him, and no one wants to be the background of a great moment.

Shaq had already tried his best on the field, but the game was still 89 minutes, and the clever Vasquith almost "tricked" to win a free kick on the right side of the arc of the CSKA Moscow penalty area.

Near the top of the arc of the penalty area, Shaq's scoring ability was already amazing, and there was no one to defend at this time...... It's almost the same percentage as a penalty.

After Shaq laid out the ball with a serious face, he slowly retreated four or five steps away, adjusted it with a whistling, and his mentality also changed, and he had to calm down at this time.

"Di---"

With the referee's whistle, Shaq immediately strode forward, picked up his right leg and pulled the ball out with a "bang"!

Normally, Shaq's volleys like this will hit a straight line, but this time Shaq is a fusion of a powerful volley and a banana ball, the ball is considered to be powerful and heavy, but the trajectory of the flight is a large arc.

"Whew-"

After the ball went around the wall from the right side, it flew back into the frame of the goal, obviously there was no rapid rotation, but it flew out of an arc, and finally flew in from the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal...... 1000 balls! (To be continued......)
