Chapter 121: Equalization
As for why this is happening, let's rewind the clock to the beginning of this year.
"Let me improve my set-piece technique?"
Kane looked at head coach Benjamin with a puzzled look as he asked his question.
"Which top attacking player do you look at without a free-kick stunt?
This will greatly increase your threat, make the opponent not dare to foul easily, and give us the opportunity to take a free kick.
At the same time, your goal count can be further improved. ”
Benjamin made a lot of sense, but Kane still didn't quite understand it.
'But we don't already have Eriksen in the team and Lamela has good free-kick skills.
Benjamin, of course, couldn't say that the system gave him skill cards, and he didn't want to give them to anyone else.
It's really good to give Eriksen, and then if the Dane turns around and joins another team, who will he go to?
"Don't worry about others, I'll ask you if you want to practice a free kick stunt, I can ask Xiaobei to help."
"You mean David?"
Kane has been a Beckham fan since he was a child, and he and his girlfriend Kate had a photo with Beckham when they were very young.
"Yes, you should know that David has been a Tottenham fan since he was a child."
"I know that he came to Tottenham for a month and a half to train with the LA Galaxy in order to maintain his form."
As a London native, Beckham has always had a good relationship with Tottenham after becoming famous.
Therefore, after getting an invitation from Tottenham, Beckham gladly accepted, but Victoria had a lot of ideas and wanted to bring a group of media with him.
As a result, Benjamin's was categorically rejected.
"You think, I don't even know what to say when I ask a reporter to write a story.
This heat can't last for a few days, so it doesn't make much sense.
I hope that after Kane has practiced his tricks, he will wait until a crucial game to use it, and then announce that it is Xiaobei's help, is it better? ”
Benjamin doesn't know Victoria's mind, this woman is trying every means to use her husband's fame to make money, but he asks others for help, and he doesn't say much.
Fortunately, Benjamin's idea convinced Beckham's wife, and Kane also got Beckham's "one-on-one VIP course experience".
How do you learn curveballs, especially Beckham's stunt [Full Moon Scimitar]?
The answer given by Xiaobei is just one word, "Practice!" ”
There is no shortcut in this world, every player's fame and stunt are exchanged for countless sweat behind the scenes.
It's just that the auxiliary props used by Beckham when he practiced free kicks and long passes were tires.
There is no need for it anymore, and the club has more advanced and professional equipment.
Targets hanging on the goal, walls of dummies lined up in front of you, and so on.
In a documentary reviewing Manchester United's performance in the 1995-1996 season, there was such a set of shots:
A worn-out mountain bike tyre was hung in the corner of the goal, and Beckham, standing just outside the penalty area, shot with his foot and the ball passed through the tyre ring and into the net.
It is very ridiculous that the audience at the time only saw this set of shots as an "exaggerated performance" of Beckham's football skills.
However, this is precisely the unique way that Xiaobei has practiced since he was a teenager.
Beckham told Kane, "I was doing my own training every day, and I didn't finish training without putting the ball in the middle of the tyre.
I was in a lot of pain myself, but when I scored seven or eight of my ten free-kicks on the training pitch, I knew my hard work had paid off. ”
Kane was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he felt like he had worked hard.
Except for special circumstances, almost every day he trains until the last one before leaving.
But even Kane doesn't seem to have "tortured" himself like Becky.
Of course, Beckham has repeatedly reminded Kane not to learn from himself:
"Although the private hard work helped me to practice a good free kick foot.
But at the same time, it also left my right foot scarred, and experts say that my continuous injuries in the second half of my career are inseparable from the unscientific training at that time. ”
Times have changed, and that kind of "masochistic" extreme training is no longer appropriate.
It is still necessary to arrange a reasonable training plan and minimize the burden on the body through scientific methods, so as to reduce the probability of injury.
Therefore, Kane's training plan, even if it is his own training, is approved by the coaching staff.
With the help of the strength and conditioning coach, the sports medicine team, and everyone else, he was able to train as much as possible without affecting his physical condition or burdening his body.
With the help of professional guidance and skill cards, every drop of sweat Kane put in was not in vain.
In the blink of an eye, five months have passed, and it is time for the harvest.
Today, in front of 90,000 people at the Camp Nou, Kane scored in Tottenham's away game against Barcelona.
This goal is not the same as his previous goals, it is a direct free kick!
Countless England fans' eyes have become a little moist for some reason.
From Kane's free-kick, they once again saw the shadow of the heartthrob of the year.
Although he is not as handsome as Becky, there is basically no doubt that Kane can become the best star in England.
1 to 0!
The second half had just begun, and Tottenham took the lead thanks to Harry Kane's free-kick!
Eriksen, who was robbed of the free-kick spot, was not angry and was happy to celebrate with Kane.
The players and coaches of the home team were stunned and did not come to their senses for a while.
The game continued, and Barcelona was just kicked off when N'Golo Kante was tackled.
The Lily Army, which leads the score, is not conservative and continues to launch an offensive away from home!
Just when Tottenham wanted to make a big move and extend the score advantage, someone from Barcelona's side stepped up.
Messi's continuous dribbling in the middle has caught the attention of several players in the Tottenham defence.
After shaking off Alderweireld who stepped forward to press, Messi passed directly to the penalty area, and Neymar successfully countered offside!
The Brazilian burst into the box and fired a right-footed volley that bounced into the net along the edge of the net.
One-to-one!
Barcelona withstood the pressure!
The combination of two top superstars up front penetrated the visitors' backline!
This is the value of stars, no matter how much tactical arrangement, targeted arrangement, may not be useful.
As long as they can take a flash of inspiration, they can change the score!
Countless Barcelona fans at the scene were boiling, cheering for the team's goal.
To put it mildly, Benjamin feels that the value of these two or three people in the front of Barcelona is almost the same as that of the entire Tottenham team.
But then again, football is never about value, and whichever side is stronger does not necessarily lead to the final victory.
Otherwise, there is no need to play the game, the value of the two teams is directly compared, and whoever is stronger on paper will be counted as he wins.
The scoreline was levelled and the Tottenham players were calm and carried out the manager's tactics step by step.
Messi won the ball in front of the court and was caught by Danny Rose and Vertonghen.
Eriksen's long ball was a little bigger, but Sadio Mane couldn't get it in time.
Andres Iniesta's through pass wanted to be handed to Messi, but Kante guessed the right passing line and suddenly stepped forward to steal the ball.
Barcelona coach Enrique found that although he equalized, his team did not seem to be playing well.
Just when he wants to make some adjustments, the situation suddenly changes!
