Chapter Eighty-Three: A Powerful Free Kick
The free-kick was a bit far from the goal, about 25 metres away. At this distance, Zhou Tao's direct free-kick was not too threatening.
It was too far away, and it was difficult for Zhou Tao to control the arc of the free kick.
Most teams should choose to pass the ball from this distance, and then their team-mates in the box will compete for the header. However, Lin Qi, who had the best header in the Chinese youth team, did not stand in the opponent's penalty area, and he, like Luo Ming and Zhou Tao, stood at the back of the football.
He is a little farther away from football than Zhou Tao and Luo Ming, this is for more run-ups and better strength!
The Thai youth team lined up the human wall, and the referee blew a whistle to signal the Chinese youth team to take a penalty.
Zhou Tao was the first to move, and the Thai goalkeeper saw Zhou Tao move, as if he was facing a big enemy. Before the game, the Thai youth team also watched the video of the Chinese youth team, and the free kick scored by Zhou Tao in the second group stage impressed the players of the Thai team.
The players of the Thai youth team are also ready to jump, in their opinion, since Zhou Tao moved, then the ball is the best chance that Zhou Tao will be punished.
However, the Thai players' eyes widened when they took off because they found that Zhou Tao had just run over the ball and he had not given the free kick away.
Next, Luo Ming of the Chinese Youth Team moved, Luo Ming was closest to the football, he stood on the left side of the football, just took a step forward, and Luo Ming easily touched the football.
He kicked the football out horizontally, Lin Qi had already been prepared, and the moment Luo Ming touched the ball, Lin Qi had already started.
When he ran to the spot where he shot, the ball rolled sideways.
Lin Qi decisively got up and hit the football with the outside instep of his right foot!
Like a cannonball, the ball slashed across the right side of the Thai team's wall and headed straight for the goal. The Thai defenders looked back at their goalkeeper together.
The goalkeeper was also shaken by Zhou Tao, and before he could sit back and prepare, the football had already flown towards the goal.
The goalkeeper made a hasty save, while the rest of the Thai youth team had closed their eyes by this time.
They know that the goalkeeper can't save this ball, and many players can't bear to look at it anymore.
It wasn't until the referee's whistle blew that they opened their eyes only to see the ball fall from their net......
The ball is in! 1:0! The Chinese youth team took advantage of a free kick in front of the court to break the deadlock!
"The ball is in! Nice free kick fit! Zhou Tao's cover was very good, Luo Ming's pass was just right, and in the end, Lin Qi's shot was simply too exciting, the football was like a cannonball, quickly and accurately drilled into the goal of the Thai team! The commentator of Huaxia jumped up and raised his head to the sky and roared.
The fans in the stands were not as quick as he was, and they were stunned for two seconds before there was a loud cheer from the stands.
"Damn, the Huaxia Youth Team has suddenly become a gentleman!"
"Lin Qi's shot is really domineering, at such a distance, the speed of the football can be so fast!"
"Beautiful, this shot is really fast and accurate!"
"Haha, enough guys, I like it!"
The fans of Huaxia cheered, and they finally saw the long-awaited scene. Since the beginning of the game, the Chinese youth team has implemented a relatively cowardly style of play, which makes fans feel more uncomfortable than losing.
They would rather the team lose, rather than see the Chinese youth team not have the courage to face the Thai youth team!
As a football sport, as a passionate football sport, cowardly and timid people are despised, and they also once despised Lin Qi and despised Lin Heng.
However, at this moment, Lin Qi used a powerful volley to announce who the real man was!
After scoring a goal, he ran to the corner kick area, crossed his waist with his left hand, and held the corner flag with his right hand.
God of War is coming!
"The god of war is mighty!"
"God of War is awesome!" The fans of Huaxia screamed wildly, they had been waiting for this scene for a long time, and they were expecting Lin Qi to show the domineering and mighty of the God of War since the Asian Youth Championships began.
Lin Qi has scored four goals, and although each goal is not lost, and even the first goal is even more exciting than this, but the first goal cannot make the fans as excited as they are now.
Lin Qi's first goal was mostly beautiful, and the shooting posture was in one go, which was simply beautiful. Although it is beautiful, it lacks Lin Qi's previous wildness and unrestrainedness.
Fans would prefer to see a wild and unrestrained Lin Qi, a goal that finally got their wish.
Lin Qi's powerful, fast and accurate free kick broke the goal, pushing the atmosphere of the whole stadium to **. And while the fans in China screamed wildly, the fans in Thailand fell silent.
They were still laughing at the Huaxia Youth Team just now for not playing like a gentleman, but Lin Qi gave them such a kick. It was the first time they had seen Barty Goal, and they had to admit that it was a wonderful goal.
The Thai reporters and their commentators were also silent at this time, and they had already understood the approach of the Chinese youth team.
The Chinese youth team really treats them as mad dogs, and they have been avoiding them in the attack, and they only really exert their power when they take free kicks.
"If a dog bites you, you can't bite it back." Thai reporters and commentators suddenly had such a sentence in their heads, and they felt that the attitude of the Chinese youth team towards their Thai youth team was like this.
This idea was difficult for them to accept, and the mad dog tactic, which Thai fans had always recognized, began to be disliked by them at this moment.
"After this game, we should be critical of the Thai youth team...... This kind of brutal play is not orthodox on the football field after all. After a brief silence, a reporter thought.
Huaxia reporters also understand the approach of the Huaxia youth team, they are not cowardly, not afraid, but just using a soft way to protect themselves.
The so-called lack of attack is also incorrect, and it can be seen from the tactics of this free kick that the Chinese youth team has worked the free kick, and they have long been prepared for this game.
"Liu Bo, this is a bloodless blade." A reporter said.
"Well, the Chinese youth team is not scared at all, they did it on purpose to avoid the possibility of injury to the players." The reporters who realized Liu Bo's thoughts gave Liu Bo a thumbs up in their hearts.
is really worthy of being the legendary head coach of the Chinese youth team, and he actually wants to win the Thai youth team bloodlessly.
After Liu Bo saw Lin Qi's goal, he laughed proudly on the sidelines.
"Hey, what's this called? If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster! We hide from you in attack, but we can't show mercy from set-pieces. Liu Bo was very satisfied with his tactical arrangement, although they only got the first opportunity to take a set-piece in front of the court in the 25th minute, but this time, the Chinese youth team seized it.
The score on the field has become 1:0, and the Chinese youth team is not in a hurry, after the game restarted, they still patiently poured back and forth in the midfield.
Huaxia's commentator was still explaining Liu Bo's approach to the fans in front of the TV: "Liu Bo should be afraid that some players will be injured in this game, so he deliberately made the players weaker." ”
"The training of the Chinese youth team in the past few days must be practicing set-pieces in the front court, no wonder Liu Bo asked for closed training."
"He doesn't want his tactics to be exposed in advance, and the Chinese youth team is using set-pieces in front of them as their main attacking means." The narrator's knowledge is good, and the commentary is relatively in place.
After he said this, the fans in front of the TV also understood. They no longer dislike the Chinese youth team for not playing enough, but watch the players of the Chinese youth team dodge left and right on the field with relish.
When the players can't get out of the way, they let out a burst of exclamation.
"Hide, hide, get out of the way!"
"Don't let him hit it, don't be knocked down by him if you don't want the ball."
"Damn, I actually let go of the shovel, jump up, don't be shoveled by him."
The fans screamed, as if they were also treating the Thai team players as real mad dogs.
As the game progressed, the Chinese youth team got another chance to take a free kick in front, this time they did not grasp the opportunity, Zhou Tao's shot was too positive, and it was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.
In addition to this free kick, the Huaxia Youth Team also got three corner kick opportunities, and the Huaxia Youth Team also failed to grasp it, Lin Qi grabbed a header, but unfortunately, his header hit the post.
Thailand's youth team escaped.
The score of 1:0 remained until the end of the first half, and when the players of the Thai youth team left the game, their mental outlook was completely different from that at the beginning of the game.
And now, with each of them hanging their heads, for the first time they have doubts about the manager's mad dog tactics. Can Mad Dog Tactics Really Make Them More Effective? Why do they feel like stupid monkeys, happily playing with the Chinese youth team?
Mad dog tactics, not to mention scaring the Chinese youth team, they can't even catch the corners of the Chinese youth team players. The players of the Chinese youth team are like loaches, too slippery, and they don't collide with the players of the Thai team at all.
They just kept the ball and kept the ball and kept the ball and left the Thai youth team with nothing to do.
Compared with the frustration of the Thai team, the players of the Chinese youth team were not too happy, they were still frustrated that they did not take advantage of the opportunity, and they could have expanded the score in the first half and sealed the victory.
