Chapter 417: Zhang Tiehan's Foot Technique
Liverpool didn't expect AC Milan's goal to come so quickly, and it was not a good start to go after ten minutes.
"Calm down, we should be a little more stable!" As the captain, Gerrard reminded everyone.
After the game restarted, the Liverpool players also knew what to do, not to actively seek an attacking equalizer, but to play the game more consistently, not always fearless mistakes, they need to stabilize themselves first, before they can play well and find opportunities to attack.
Sharpening knives is not mistaken for woodcutters, and it is also commonly used in football matches.
If you have weaknesses all over your body and want to take the initiative to attack others, the result is likely to be that the opponent will easily attack the ball, and your attack will not be very effective, and the opponent will be able to defend easily.
After a while, Liverpool also stabilized a lot.
At this time, the Milan fans in the audience were still immersed in the goal just now, and the two teams began to meet on the field again, Reeser sent a sideline ball on the wing, AC Milan's defender Gattuso immediately pressed over, and other AC Milan players also closely guarded the nearby Liverpool players.
Reese hesitated and didn't know who to throw the ball to.
His hesitant appearance made Zhang Tiehan look secretly anxious, and he beckoned to Liser and shouted, "Here!" Over here! Pirlo, who was defending next to him, immediately followed closer.
Zhang Tiehan has a lot of say in Liverpool.
In the Liverpool team, he and Gerrard are almost equal in status, with his prestige enough to be the captain on the field to command the game, Reese heard Zhang Tiehan's voice, and threw the ball over without even thinking about it, if others shouted him, he would hesitate to see if there would be danger, but against Zhang Tiehan. He is extremely trusting, even if he doesn't have a chance, this guy will grab a chance, he is such a person!
Sure enough, Pirlo was just about to get stuck in the position, but Zhang Tiehan directly squeezed away with his body.
Zhang Tiehan stopped the ball with his right foot. Turned around and protected the ball with his body, Pirlo was behind him, Pirlo was called the 'master of art' by Italian fans, but not only his technique was excellent, in fact, his defensive ability as a midfielder was also quite good, he was very experienced, and he stood behind him when he saw Zhang Tiehan's movements. didn't squeeze hard with Zhang Tiehan, because he knew that he would definitely not be able to squeeze Zhang Tiehan, and the consequences of doing so were likely to be uncontrollable, so he would be easily shaken away.
Pirlo just stood there, keeping his body at a short distance from Zhang Tiehan.
This short distance left an empty space between the two, but it did not affect Pirlo's attention to Zhang Tiehan's movements, ready to grab the ball at any time.
In the face of such a defense, Zhang Tiehan also had a headache.
Don't pass the ball. You can only break through, and it's not easy to pass the ball now. Although Reese rushed over to answer, Gattuso followed him, Zhang Tiehan glanced over there, and decided to go to the hard burst himself, facing Pirlo's defense, he didn't dare to do anything and then turned around and burst strongly. That would almost be the equivalent of giving the ball to Pirlo.
He has to make sure that the football is always under his control.
Even if you can't break through, you must not lose the ball, the latter is more important than the former, so Zhang Tiehan chose to turn around suddenly, and then make a small change of direction.
Pirlo noticed his movements. But he didn't intercept at the first time, and sure enough, after Zhang Tiehan changed direction for the first time, he quickly twisted his waist and changed direction again to the other side, Pirlo was waiting for this opportunity, and he immediately stepped out to block in front of the ball.
But at this moment, Zhang Tiehan changed direction again.
His waist was almost twisted out of an arc, and his ankle moved almost at 90 degrees, pushing the ball to the other side, and it was very difficult for Pirlo to react, he couldn't stop his body at all, and could only watch Zhang Tiehan rush past him.
Seeing Zhang Tiehan shake off Pirlo, Gattuso immediately gave up Reese to defend Zhang Tiehan, but Zhang Tiehan directly handed the ball to Reese and rushed forward, Reese and Zhang Tiehan cooperated quite tacitly, he didn't stop the ball at all, and passed the ball back again with a direct kick.
The football rolled right at the feet of Zhang Tiehan.
With a two-by-one cooperation, Zhang Tiehan directly threw off Gattuso, at this time, there was no need for anyone to command, AC Milan players knew that they had to stop Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan's threat to take the ball was too great, and Kaladze immediately met it.
Kaladze is a well-known defender in Italy.
He plays as a full-back, to compete with Cafu for a position, fortunately the former Brazilian captain is old, Kaladze can get a lot of opportunities, and now he faces Zhang Tiehan very calmly, he is waiting for Zhang Tiehan to rush over, while carefully watching his feet.
At this time, Zhang Tiehan came to a big change of direction.
Straight inside in the middle!
Kaladze didn't expect Zhang Tiehan to squeeze Gattuso to do this, and when he wanted to chase it anymore, it was too late, Zhang Tiehan's action not only got rid of Kaladze, but even Gattuso was thrown away by him by more than a meter, and the two of them couldn't stop Zhang Tiehan anymore.
Nesta immediately gave up his defense against Fowler and wanted to fill in the position.
But at this time, Zhang Tiehan had already dribbled to the front of the penalty area, and just when the AC Milan players wanted to rush up, he had already shot with his feet.
Boom!
The San Siro Stadium resounded with the muffled sound of a football colliding with a foot, and the ball rushed straight to the door of the Dida handle.
It was not the first time Dida had faced Zhang Tiehan's shot, he had not conceded less goals last season, and was deeply impressed by Zhang Tiehan's shot, and when he heard that Zhang Tiehan had transferred to England, Dida was relieved, but he didn't have to think about how to defend such a powerful volley.
But now he has to face it again.
This kind of ball is fast, the angle is tricky, even if there is no spin, the goalkeeper is still difficult to defend, if you want to really save the ball, you rely on direct competition - fast enough reaction, accurate enough to save, otherwise there is no way at all.
When Dida was in good shape, he was still confident to face Zhang Tiehan's long-range shot.
Now at the San Siro Stadium, Dida is in good shape, but when the ball flies at Zhang Tiehan's feet, Dida finds that this shot seems to be a little different from last year - the football has a little more spin, and then there is a small arc.
The arc of the football flight is not large, but just such a small arc makes it difficult for Dida to make an accurate judgment.
At the moment of throwing out, all he wanted was to seal a larger area with his body. As a result, when he was in mid-air, he saw the position where the football rushed into the goal, more than half a meter away from hand...... The only thing he could do was watch the ball fly in.
His eyes kept on the ball, following its trajectory, and his head turned back half a circle.
Then he fell to the ground.
Dida thought so. He didn't want to face Zhang Tiehan's shot anymore, and he even had a kind of helplessness about Zhang Tiehan's shot - he thought he could save it, but now the opponent's shot has more arcs.
A year has passed, and the opponent's shooting level has improved a lot...... But can that really improve over time?
In Dida's view, Zhang Tiehan's shooting ability reached a peak last season, and no one can be more threatening than his shooting, but now it has improved again? How does this make him deal with it as a goalkeeper?
……
Maybe Dida's thoughts don't matter.
When Zhang Tiehan scored a goal, all the players and fans of Liverpool cheered. Benitez hugged each other with the assistant coach and various substitutes in the dugout. They rushed out of their seats and cheered together; On the pitch, many players jumped up from the grass.
"Beautiful!"
"Hahaha! Zhang Zhenxing! You can get in this way! ”
"I thought he could pass the ball, but I didn't expect him to do it himself!"
The Liverpool players talked happily.
As Liverpool players, they were all surprised by this goal, not to mention others, after Zhang Tiehan completed the goal, almost all the commentators, football commentators, and various football celebrity guests were talking, and they were talking about Zhang Tiehan's table just now.
BBC Sports Broadcasting UK -
“Goooooooooooooal!!!! The ball went in. Sheet! He got past Gattuso and Kaladze and then got up in front of the penalty line to score the ball! ”
"It's so beautiful! Zhang's series of actions. The brilliant dribble made the AC Milan defenders have to follow him behind him and watch him score the ball! He gave full play to his physical and technical advantages! But the most unbelievable thing is that Zhang's foot technique! ”
"I never thought Zhang would score such a wonderful goal, he cut inside from the wing to the middle, got his chance while shaking off the opposition players. I'm not surprised at all if someone else did it, but Zhang ......"
Sky Sports UK -
"It was a brilliant shot!"
"The ball is in—!!"
But the most surprising thing was the continuous shaking of Zhang before the shot, after he received the ball from Reese's hand. He only combined with Ritche once, and then he burst into the AC Milan half by himself, constantly changing direction, let's take a look at how he moved past Andrea Pirlo before he combined with Ritse......
"My God! Three changes of direction in a row! When did Zhang learn to juggle! ”
"And ...... And the change of direction in which he shook off Gattuso and Kaladze...... This was almost a decisive move, and at that moment Karazek was obviously stunned, he definitely didn't expect Zhang to squeeze Gattuso and choose to cut inside! ”
Sky Sports Italia -
“Goal! Liverpool's No. 13 Zhang equalized for Liverpool! ”
"A pounce after cutting inside to the middle!"
"This shot reminds me of Chelsea's Arjen Robben, who is good at cutting inside on the left and then shooting, he has succeeded a few times and let the world know that there is a kid named Robben in the Netherlands, but it was the first time Zhang used this action, but he succeeded!"
"The most surprising thing is that it was Zhang ...... who completed this series of movements"
"I'm sorry first, my impression of Zhang is that he shoots very well, he is very physical, he has a lot of advantages, but there is no such thing as outstanding technique, his skills are ...... It's a bit rough. ”
"Maybe he's improved a little bit since he went to Liverpool, but that's where it's incredible!"
"What can make a player improve so much in just one year, you know, the skills of ordinary players are probably fixed at the age of eighteen, and Zhang is by no means that kind of dexterous striker, he has a height of one meter nine......"
"Look at his movements, oh my God! I can think of the Swedish kid from Juventus (Ibrahimovic), they are all big men of 1.9 meters, but they can all play the piano with both feet! ”
"How the hell is such a guy going to defend?" (To be continued......)
