290 Classic Indirect Free Kick Combination, Half Champion!

readx;

He won first place in the love song duet contest at the Christmas party. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Keyi, don't mention how happy this girl is.

"There's no reason for that Daniels guy to pester me now! Brother Chen Xi, you are amazing! ”

"Brother Chen Xi, there will be a duet competition at school in the future, I will definitely ask you to come over again to help!"

…… On the way back from the party, I saw Zhang Keyi calling non-stop there. Chen Xi and Carolina were a little speechless.

sent the two back to the dormitory, and Chen Xi also sent an invitation to the two, that is, to go to his house tomorrow for Christmas.

Chen Xi himself is an orphan, and there is still Danny Weir's house in London, but in Liverpool, he really has no place to spend the holiday.

It's not that it's familiar to a certain extent, Chen Xi is not willing to run over and disturb others when this kind of family is enjoying the atmosphere of the festival. Therefore, even though Gerald, Owen and others had offered him invitations, he politely declined.

It just so happened that Zhang Keyi and Carolina didn't plan to go home for the holiday, so Chen Xi simply called them to celebrate the festival together, and both of them agreed without hesitation.

Early the next morning, Chen Xi purchased a large number of ingredients, and then took the two girls back.

When Chen Xi was about to cook alone, Zhang Keyi's girl also ran to the kitchen to help.

In the end, it is the daughter of chef Lao Zhang, Zhang Keyi, this girl looks white and tender, and she is very pampered. But it's good to do the work in the kitchen.

Carolina, as a delicate woman from a middle-class family, is now a more famous young model, so she is not familiar with kitchen matters. However, seeing that Chen Xi and Zhang Keyi were busy in the kitchen, this daughter also joined in. Fortunately, she wasn't clumsy, at least she didn't help.

After the three of them had spent the morning in the kitchen, a big meal was served.

Carolina was also excited about the meal she was personally involved in. The three young people are not as rigid as the usual family holidays, and after a meal, everyone is making trouble while eating, and the table is a mess.

Although there is a delicate relationship between the three of them, everyone has a tacit understanding that it has not been broken. This threesome is very harmonious.

Carolina also feels that she likes this feeling, and she has to insist on her studies in addition to her busy work, but she just doesn't want to live a rotten life like other models.

Now, in addition to the simple life of school, there is also an excellent foreign surname like Chen Xi in her life.

In Carolina's eyes, Chen Xi is completely different from those male models who are also tall and handsome.

Those male models have handsome looks and strong bodies, but there is nothing inside. Compared with Chen Xi, they are like straw bales without thoughts.

An attractive beauty like Carolina is naturally entangled by those male models. However, she was not interested in them. Usually, she is reluctant to be in the company of those female models who live a rotten life. So, she has always been relatively lonely in her life. This is also an important reason why she, as a supermodel, can become such a good friend with Zhang Keyi, a little girl who is a student.

Chen Xi can be said to be the best of the same age and surname that Carolina has ever dated, at least in her opinion. Therefore, she will also take off her disguised defense in front of Chen Xi. Melt your own iceberg and spread your heart to date Chen Xi.

At the same time, Chen Xi's career also has some attraction for Carolina. Her father used to be a basketball player, and he was very kind to herself and her mother, which made Carolina have a good impression of the profession of a player. After all, every girl has some father-love complexes in her heart.

What Chen Xi didn't know was that after just a few days of getting along, he hadn't taken any action yet, and he had already touched the heart of Karolina, a big Yanma.

If you knew, this guy would probably be very narcissistic again! ――

The two-day Christmas holiday passed quickly, and Chen Xi's training and competitions were back to normal.

Two days after Christmas, Liverpool are in the third round of the league.

The opponent was Bolton, who drew with Arsenal in the previous round, and at Anfield, Chen Xi and his teammates did not continue to give Bolton a chance to upset. A 3-1 win kept Liverpool going.

However, Arsenal also won 3-0 against Liverpool's opponents in the previous round, Wolves. Didn't let Liverpool continue to open the gap.

In the third and fourth places, Manchester United and Chelsea have reversed places. The change of blood in key positions, as well as the support of new stars like Xiao Xiaoluo, made Ferguson's team still not very stable. It was Claudio Ranieri who combined these stars from Chelsea to make Chelsea the most consistent team apart from Liverpool and Arsenal.

Of course, when the league is about to pass the halfway point. It is widely believed that this season's title will be won between Liverpool and Arsenal.

Three days later, Chen Xi and his teammates went to Manchester again. However, their opponents are not Manchester United, but Manchester City, another team in Manchester.

For the Chinese media, this is a much-watched "Chinese derby", but for the British media, it is an ordinary league that cannot be more ordinary. At the same time, in the eyes of the British media, it is not believed that Manchester City can stop Liverpool's path.

Manchester City, as a promotion horse last season, although they played a good record in the Premier League, but this season they have been reduced to a middle and lower team, although there is a certain distance from the relegation zone, but it is also difficult to get to the front.

Of course, although Manchester City's results have not been good this season, their attacking power this season has been quite strong.

Especially their forward combination, Anelka and Fowler, the two giants who have lost the award, have rubbed sparks this season.

Anelka has scored nine goals at the halfway point of the season, and at this rate, it will not be difficult for him to exceed 20 league goals this season. You know, in the season when he became famous at Arsenal, he scored only 23 goals in the league.

Fowler has also regained his former name after a series of injuries, and he has also scored five goals despite not making as many appearances as Anelka.

Interestingly, Fowler and Anelka both had a relationship with Liverpool.

Fowler was the face of Liverpool's forward line before Owen's rise. It was because of Owen's emergence and the reason why the genius did not demand much of himself that he was purged out of Liverpool, went to Leeds United, and then moved to Manchester City.

Anelka also spent half a season at Liverpool, but his performances failed to impress his compatriot, former Liverpool boss Houllier, who eventually moved to Manchester City.

Therefore, this game is also seen as a comeback to Fowler and Anelka, the discarded striker duo, against their former club Liverpool.

In addition to Anelka and Fowler up front, their young midfielder Wright Phillips has also been in excellent form in recent seasons.

The adopted son of Arsenal legend Ian Wright may not be as glamorous as his adoptive father, but his nimble footwork has made him a rising star on the English wing.

Coupled with Sinclair, who was originally a famous English player, Manchester City's offensive lineup is also ranked first in the Premier League.

Therefore, at Manchester City Stadium, the coronation of the Liverpool half-time champion is not as easy to fight as the media thinks!

In fact, even if Liverpool can't beat Manchester City in this game, it won't stop them from winning the halfway game, after all, they are six points ahead of second-placed Arsenal.

However, for Chen Xi and his teammates, they naturally hope to draw a perfect end to the first half of the league season with a victory.

With this mentality, at the beginning of the game, the away Liverpool team launched a ferocious attack.

This time, it was still Sun Hai who defended Chen Xi, and Sun Hai was deeply impressed by the explosion last season, so he also repeatedly studied Chen Xi's characteristics, hoping to restrain Chen Xi in this game.

However, how could Chen Xi be so well studied? The head coach and defenders of that team in the Premier League have not studied Chen Xi? He's not the most dangerous attacker in the Premier League!

In this way, less than 20 minutes into the first half of the game, Chen Xi successfully broke through Sun Hai's defense, and after hitting the penalty area all the way, Chen Xi crossed the ball to the middle.

Irving outflanked and scored with ease, making it 1-0. The start was clearly in line with the pre-match judgment of the media and fans, who believed that Manchester City would be a stumbling block for Liverpool.

As they celebrated the goal, the Liverpool players were also full of lightness on their faces, and in their opinion, winning the game was no longer a problem at all.

It's just that in the next game, the situation on the field changed abruptly.

The Manchester City team, which had only been beaten passively before, seemed to be stimulated by Liverpool's goal, and the attack suddenly became sharp.

Waves of non-stop attacks have left the Liverpool backline exhausted.

Even their backline, which wasn't great, suddenly hardened.

Sun Jihai used a tackle to bring down Chen Xi with the ball, although the referee blew him for a foul, but this is better than when he could only watch Chen Xi break through freely beside him before.

City's succession of attacks finally paid off before half-time when Wright-Phillips used his pace and skill down the right flank to shake off Reese's defence before delivering a cross.

Fowler in the middle of the lane showed his spirit surname at his peak in his conversation with his old teammate Carragher. He had almost anticipated Wright-Phillips' pass, making a feint to run down the middle, but in fact turning and rushing forward.

When the ball arrived, Fowler flicked his head and sent the ball into the goal of his old club!

Although Fowler celebrated after the goal, he did not target Liverpool, after all, he and Liverpool parted peacefully.

Fowler's comeback helped City equalise and the final score remained 1-1 at halftime.

In the dressing room in midfield, Rafael Benitez expressed his displeasure with the performance of his players, believing that even on the road, Liverpool should be in control of the situation on the pitch rather than being pressed by their opponents as they did in the second half of the first half.

After the start of the second half, Chen Xi and his teammates were also performing according to Benitez's requirements.

From the start, Liverpool regained the initiative on the pitch and created a lot of scoring opportunities in attack.

Among them, in the 62nd minute of the game, Gerrard received a cross pass from Chen Xi outside the penalty area and hit the crossbar of the Manchester City team.

This goal really made Manchester City fans break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that the game is moving in favor of his team, Benitez is back in his dugout, ready to wait for his team's goal.

However, a few minutes later, he was waiting for a goal from Manchester City!

The Liverpool team dominated the field, and the formation was getting closer and closer unconsciously. Even so, their previous defence didn't give City much of a chance.

It wasn't until around the 70th minute of the game that Manchester City defender Dunn's hurried clearance was a miracle.

The ball successfully crossed Hyypia's head, and it was at this time that French striker Anelka's speed advantage was vividly demonstrated.

Even though Dudek opted for a timely attack, Anelka was the first to stab through the door of the Liverpool team.

2-1, the Manchester City team playing at home overtook the score!

The home fans in the stands were ecstatic at the result, as if they saw that Liverpool's unbeaten gold form this season was going to remain at Manchester City Stadium. While these three don't really help Manchester City in the table, it is always exciting to be the first team in Premier League or even European football to win against Liverpool. You know, even their city rivals, mighty Manchester United, haven't done that this season yet!

The goal was a fatal blow for Liverpool. You know, they had an absolute advantage on the field before, but they were scored by the opponent. This obviously affected the morale of the team.

After the restart of the game, the Liverpool team did not quickly launch a counterattack, but was taken advantage of by Manchester City to take back the initiative on the field.

Fowler's sudge shot from outside the box in the 78th minute almost doubled City's lead, but Dudek was so focused that a side save kept the ball out.

As the game time became less and less, Manchester City, who were leading the score, simply dropped their attack and focused on defence.

In the 85th minute, Kevin Keegan simply replaced Fowler on the front line with a defensive midfielder, changing the formation to 451, and his idea was simple. That was to hold the score 2-1.

After all, this season, being able to beat Liverpool, no matter what tactics or tactics they use, will be the focus of the whole of England and even the whole of Europe!

Kevin Keegan, a legendary footballer, clearly wants to accomplish such a high-profile act as a coach.

Seeing that the Manchester City team's defense suddenly became tighter, Benitez on the sidelines also looked a little anxious. The main attackers in his team were already on the pitch and he didn't know what adjustments he could make. One can only hope that the players on the pitch can blast Manchester City's iron bucket formation.

As the most threatening attacker in the Liverpool team, Chen Xi was also taken care of by the Manchester City team, in fact, the American defender Reina sent by Keegan was specially used to help defend Chen Xi.

As long as Chen Xi gets the ball, he is often surrounded by two or three players.

At the same time, the other two dangerous figures of Liverpool, Owen and Gerrard, were also arranged for their surnames.

Keegan knew that his team might not be able to withstand Liverpool's aggressive attack for 90 minutes, but it should be fine to do so in the final minutes, right?

The game was clearly going in the direction Keegan had in mind, and Liverpool couldn't find a way to tear down City's defence until the fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign for three minutes of stoppage time.

At this time, Keegan called up a defender from the bench Sommer and prepared to continue to strengthen the defense.

It's just that the Liverpool team has been firmly in control of the ball on the field, and has not let the ball go out of bounds, and Keegan has never had a chance to make substitutions without a dead ball.

However, seeing that the Liverpool team can only keep falling on the periphery, Kevin Keegan is not in a hurry. It was as if he had seen what his team looked like after the game, when Liverpool's unbeaten run ended and he was in the spotlight of the media across Europe.

Yes, even a veteran star like Kevin Keegan still has a penchant for Italian silver.

However, at the ninety-first and a half minutes of the game, Chen Xi broke Keegan's Italian silver!

Liverpool's possession ended with a wide cross that was headed out of the box by Manchester City centre-back Dunn. After the ball was handed to Manchester City, they also got upside down at the back, hoping to squander that time.

It's just that their inverted feet are not easy, because the attacking players of the Liverpool team are pressing in the front court at any cost!

As soon as the ball reached Sun Hai's feet, Chen Xi rushed in front of him like a cheetah. Sun Hai didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly passed the ball back to Distin behind him.

Before Distin could get the ball, the big black Husky came over.

Looking at the fierce and menacing Husky, Distin continued to pass the ball back and gave the ball to goalkeeper Seaman behind him.

He-man obviously didn't expect his team-mate to choose to pass back to the goalkeeper at this time, which didn't push him to the gun.

Sure enough, as soon as Distin's pass came out, a red figure appeared on the ball road.

The figure was Owen, and he chased the ball like a bolt of lightning.

He-Man could only pull his leg and rush towards the ball, and at this point it seemed that He-Man had a slight advantage. But a second later, Owen took the initiative again, and seeing that Owen was about to get the ball, Seaman's first reaction was to prevent Owen from taking the ball, so he forgot about the fact that his teammates passed the ball back, and preemptively slid to the ground to take the ball into his arms.

Owen couldn't get the ball, so he jumped up decisively and flew past He-Man.

At this time, Seaman seemed to suddenly remember something, immediately let go of his hand, let the ball roll, and then stood up and kicked the ball to the frontcourt!

It's just that his behavior didn't escape Chen Xi's eyes!

"Referee, he's got the pass back with his hand! It should be a free kick in the box! Chen Xi ran to the referee at the front of the penalty area for the first time.

The referee didn't notice this originally, but after listening to Chen Xi's reminder, he suddenly realized that Seaman seemed to have really violated the rules. So he immediately blew the whistle in his mouth, rushed inside, stood in the position where He-Man held the ball just now, and awarded Liverpool an indirect free kick in the penalty area!

Shh

At this time, it was not clear whether the fans' boos were given to the referee or to Sea-Man, who made a fatal mistake.

Keegan on the sidelines also angrily kicked off a mineral water bottle in front of him, in his opinion, this Seaman is really old and dizzy, and actually made such a stupid mistake.

In fact, for this mistake, the previous Distin and even Sun Hai had an unshirkable responsibility, after all, if they had decisively cleared the siege instead of passing back, there would have been no such thing.

Having such a great opportunity, Chen Xi and his teammates were also excited. Benitez on the sidelines also showed a little joy on his face.

After a slight protest to no avail, the Manchester City players had to go to the front of the goal to prepare for the wall.

Chen Xi, Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso, three players with excellent footwork, came to the ball to discuss how to take the penalty. The ball is a little to the left of the penalty spot.

"Edison, are you coming, or are we coming?" Gerald asked first. In his opinion, this kind of ball is still a little more reliable with a strong long-range shot. He and Alonso are both heavy gunners.

"Let me come, later, you ......" Chen Xi let go of his humility at this time and took the initiative to take this opportunity. As the team's number one set-piece, he offered to make this request, and the other two had nothing to say. Chen Xi whispered a few more words to them and made arrangements!

After Chen Xi finished speaking, Xavi Alonso ran to a position behind the right of the penalty spot. Gerrard, on the other hand, was out of the distance by several cloths and put on a posture of wanting to shoot hard from a distance. Chen Xi himself stood directly in front of the ball.

Because of such an indirect free-kick, two touches of the ball are required. Therefore, it seems that Chen Xi should be the one who makes the ball, but it is unknown whether he flicks the ball slightly for Gerrard or pushes the ball sideways to Xavi Alonso to shoot.

At this time, almost everyone in the Manchester City team was on the goal line, and they didn't even bother to send someone to keep an eye on Xavi Alonso.

After the referee lined up the human wall, he blew the whistle in his mouth, signaling that the ball was ready to be punished.

Chen Xi raised his right leg and made a posture of stepping on the ball, but in fact, he never touched the ball.

When Gerrard started to run, Chen Xi was about to step on the ball with his right foot, and someone in the Manchester City team immediately rushed over.

Chen Xi protested to the referee, signaling that they were not honest.

The referee saw that Chen Xi had not touched the ball before the opponent moved, so he ran over and warned the Manchester City team to the human wall. Then he retreated and signaled that he was ready to be heavily punished.

This time, although the human walls of the Manchester City team are ready to move, they dare not act rashly.

In this way, Gerrard started to run again, but Chen Xi's raised right foot never touched the ball.

Finally, Gerrard had already run in front of the ball, but Chen Xi's right foot still did not step on the ball, but took it back.

Is it a horizontal pass? At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Xavi Alonso, who was on the right.

However, what happened next was something that no one expected.

Gerrard rushed to the ball, and when he jumped over the ball, he suddenly stepped on the ball backwards with the sole of his right foot.

It turns out that Gerrard is the one who makes the ball!

After making sure that the ball was turning, Chen Xi, who had been standing in front of the ball, picked up the right foot he had just withdrawn.

Instead of taking a powerful volley, he swung the inside of his right foot into the bottom of the ball!

The ball flew obediently, and then made an arc in the air, whistling directly towards the top of the wall, the angle between the near post and the crossbar.

The wall of people standing by the column is none other than Wright-Phillips, the shortest on the field!

This black guy jumped up with all his might, but he still couldn't touch the ball, and the ball flew over his head into the goal!

It's a clever tactical design!

It was a millimeter-accurate shot!

This is a wonderful lore!

All of a sudden, the Manchester City Stadium fell into a dead silence!

Even the thousands of Liverpool fans who came with the team were stunned for a moment before they began to celebrate wildly.

At this moment, the Liverpool substitute players who had been squatting on the sidelines and paying close attention to the ball jumped up one by one.

Manchester City Stadium has become a place for Liverpudlians to celebrate!

Even if it was just a draw, the feeling of being lost and regained still sent the Liverpudlians into a frenzied celebration.

Yes, at the last minute, their undefeated golden body was preserved again!

At this time, the Manchester City people sat on the turf one by one, and got a point from the leader Liverpool, which was originally a good result. But they weren't happy at all. Because, they are only one minute away from ending Liverpool's unbeaten golden body, but they fell on this minute!

2 to 2, which was also the final score.

Even though Liverpool were taken advantage of by the Arsenal team behind them to chase the score back to four points, they were still very excited to complete such a stunner. Because, they are half-way champions!

(To be continued)
