Chapter 93 Salute header against Greece
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what Li Mingyu said. As long as the Spanish team wins all the next games, they will become No.1 in Group B and qualify directly.
However, they are now in Greece, and they are about to play against the Greek team at the Kareskakis Stadium, the famous home of hell in Europe.
The Kareskakis Stadium is not only the home stadium of the Greek national team, but also the home stadium of the most famous team in Greece, Olympiacos.
The Kareskakis Stadium, one of the top ten hells in Europe, is by no means in vain.
The teams playing here, whether they are the super teams of the five major European leagues or the various powerful national teams in Europe, in this stadium, there are not many people who can retreat unscathed.
In the four games of the first round, the Greek team defeated the Swedish team led by Ibrahimovic 1:0 at their home court, allowing the Swedish team to taste the only defeat in the first round of the game, and also leaving a glimmer of life for the Spanish team.
This is the first time for Li Mingyu to play in Greece. In the locker room of the visiting team, he can hear the crazy noise of the Greek fans outside. It is indeed the home of hell.
In this game, Li Mingyu got the chance to start, and all five of Barcelona's generals started.
Enrique said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the current situation is not optimistic for us. Getting the first place in the group and qualifying directly is our best result. I don't want to play two single-round knockout matches to get a chance to qualify, because that is too unsafe."
Enrique looked around for a week and was very satisfied to see that all the players had high morale.
"Everyone, go and win this game!"
Ramos, the captain of the Spanish team, yelled and stretched out his right hand. Everyone gathered together, pressed their right hands on top one by one, and roared loudly.
"Spain must win!"
"Tencent Sports viewers and friends, good evening, today we will bring you a match in Group B of the European World Preliminary Tournament, against Spain and Greece."
"These two teams were tied in the first round. They currently have 7 points, but the goal difference of the Greek team is one more than that of the Spanish team. Therefore, the Greek team is now ranked second and the Spanish team is ranked third."
"This game is very important for both teams. This year's European World Cup preliminaries are very cruel. No one wants to be second in the group and go to the knockout round. Therefore, in this game, the two teams will definitely play very well."
"Let's take a look at the lineups of both teams. The home team Greece's lineup today has not changed much from the previous game. It is still a 4-5-1 defensive lineup."
"The Spanish team's lineup still looks very luxurious. The lineup built with Barcelona's main force as the skeleton looks very safe. Morata, who has played well in Juventus, is still ahead of him. On both sides of him are Barcelona's superstar Li Mingyu and Manchester City's midfielder Ferran Torres. Due to Fati's injury, Enrique is a bit embarrassed at the left winger position, so he has to put Li Mingyu back in this position again. I don’t know if he will not adapt to the position of the left winger after returning to the position of the left winger!”
"In midfield, Barcelona's Busquets is still in the position of the midfielder. In front of him are Atletico Madrid's superstar Max Llorente and Barcelona's midfielder Pedri."
"The four defenders are Barcelona's Eric Garcia and Real Madrid's Ramos as a central defender, flanked by Barcelona's Alba and Pedro Polo, who was loaned to Sporting Lisbon by Manchester City."
"The goalkeeper position is still Manchester United's goalkeeper David De Gea."
"The starting lineup of this new Spanish team is very young, only 25.7 years old, and there are many young and very young players on the bench. Enrique has done a very good job of updating this team!"
"Okay, now the players have all come to the court, and the game is about to start!"
Li Mingyu stood in the middle of the court, feeling the crazy atmosphere in the court.
In the surrounding stands, Greek fans painted their national flags on their faces and waved inflatable sticks in their hands, loudly cheering for their team.
With the referee's whistle, Li Mingyu's first national team match began.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in to the Kareskakis Stadium and getting the talent of the famous Greek Angelos Charisteas: Super Airmaster. 】
[Angelos Charisteas talent: super air fighter: Angelos, who is 1.91 meters tall, has an excellent ability to attack with a header in front of the goal. 】
Angelos Charisteas, should be one of the greatest players in the history of Greek football, known as the "national hero" of Greece.
In the 2004 European Cup, the Greek team completed the greatest career in their football history and won the European Cup.
Angelos Charisteas scored three goals in this European Cup, especially the last goal, the only goal in the final, helping Greece win the European Cup for the first time.
The most important thing is that these three goals were all headers. Angelos Charisteas' header skills made all fans remember this Greek man.
The Greek team kicked off first, and the central defender made a long pass, ready to find the Greek players in the frontcourt.
As soon as the ball was kicked, Li Mingyu had a feeling that he could already judge where the ball landed.
What a terrible ability.
Li Mingyu's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Angelos Charisteas's header ability to have such an additional function.
If this ability can be given to the center forward, it will be a big killer!
Although Li Mingyu's height is about 1.85, his figure is thin and he doesn't like to compete with those muscular players in the penalty area. Therefore, even after he has acquired the ability of "Zamorano's sharp header", he rarely goes to the penalty area to compete for the top.
However, now that he has acquired this ability, Li Mingyu has great confidence in his ability to compete for the top in the penalty area.
In fact, heading the ball is not too difficult. The most difficult part is to judge the landing point of the football. If you can know the landing point of the football in advance, then with your super heading ability, then the goal is not the head.
In the first 5 minutes, the two teams fought very aggressively. Most of the offensive methods of the Greek team were to rely on long passes, trying to gain opportunities with the strong bodies of the Greek players.
On the other hand, the Spanish team still mainly attack on the ground, frequently penetrate with short passes, and use through balls to hit behind the Greek players.
However, the Greek team's lineup is very concentrated, and they don't pay much attention to the defense on both sides, and concentrate all their troops in the middle.
Li Mingyu didn't dare to lob the ball rashly on the wing. Looking at the opponent's tall central defender, Morata didn't have much height advantage.
In the No. 15 minute of the first half, Li Mingyu shot a long shot from the outside, hit the center defender's foot, and popped out of the baseline.
Spain got the first corner kick of the game.
Pedri stood near the corner flag, and the players of the Spanish team also came to the penalty area of the Greek team, constantly changing positions.
However, the players of the Greek team didn't care too much. After all, in terms of height, it is difficult for the Spanish team's corner kick to pose any threat to the Greek team.
Usually, if it is not a critical moment, Li Mingyu will seldom rush into the penalty zone. He basically stands near the arc of the penalty zone. The first is to protect the second landing point, and the second is to see if there is a chance for a long-range shot from the outside.
However, this time, Li Mingyu also rushed into the Greek team's penalty area.
However, Li Mingyu, who is 1.85 meters tall, is not impressive at all in the restricted area where there are many people.
Pedri is also a little bit tingly, because in the pre-match arrangement, if there is a chance for a corner kick, Li Mingyu needs to come over and take a tactical corner kick.
However, I don't know if Li Mingyu forgot the arrangement before the game. Anyway, Pedri didn't see anyone coming to meet him.
The referee's whistle has already sounded, and Pedri can't waste any more time, so he can only hit a good-quality corner kick with his right foot.
Pedri's corner kick was fast and flat, and soon flew into the Greek team's penalty area.
For a while, a group of people in the penalty area of the Greek team turned their backs, but the referee did not express anything.
The football flew to the position between the penalty spot and the penalty area. This position made the goalkeeper of the Greek team very uncomfortable. He didn't dare to attack rashly. He could only stand in front of the goal and stare at the football.
However, what makes the goalkeeper very relieved is that in that position, his central defender has stood firmly there, blocking the Spanish forward Morata behind him.
Morata also looked depressed. The opponent's central defender's positioning ability is really excellent, and he quickly stood in front of the football's landing point, suppressing his own position.
Central defender Papadopoulos is the main defender for the Hamburg team. He is known for his excellent positioning ability and header ability. As soon as the corner kick was taken, he roughly grasped the landing point of the football and pressed Morata behind him tightly to prevent him from getting up and heading the ball.
Seeing the football that was already close at hand, Papadopoulos also jumped up slightly, preparing to shake his head and push the football out.
But just as he was about to shake his head, he was horrified to find that a head suddenly appeared in front of him, less than [-] centimeters away from his head. A beautiful lion shook his head and slammed the football towards his goal.
Papadopoulos looked in the direction of the goal in horror. His goalkeeper stood there blankly like a Greek statue, turned his head stiffly, and looked at the football that was already bouncing in the goal line.
The player who had finished rushing to the top, after seeing the football entering, also raised his hands high, rushed towards the direction of the corner flag frantically, and jumped on Pedri at once, celebrating excitedly.
On the 24th, Li...
Li Mingyu's first official goal for the national team was born.
"Oh, the Spanish team's corner kick opportunity, the height of the Greek players has a great advantage, presumably the Spanish team should hit the outside of this ball, hey, no, Pedri directly kicked the ball, not bad, the quality of this ball is very high."
"Unfortunately, Morata was firmly blocked by Papadopoulos. It seems that this time, Spain's attack failed again."
"What, what did I see, the ball went in, what's going on, it's Li Mingyu, it's really Li Mingyu, my God, he helped the Spanish team score a goal with a header in front of Papadopoulos."
"Let's take a look at the slow motion. Li Mingyu was still lingering at the back point, but when Pedri passed the ball, Li Mingyu seemed to know where the football would land. He bypassed two defenders and a Spanish team's own player. Just as Papadopoulos was about to clear the siege, a beautiful lion shook his head and pushed the football into the goal of the Greek team. The Greek goalkeeper Frajodimos didn't react at all, it was too sudden!"
"Looking at the slow motion from this angle, Li Mingyu's goal fully reflects his sense of smell in front of the goal. Looking at his running route, he seems to really know where the football will fall. He didn't have any hesitation or extra movement. It's so beautiful. This goal looks pleasing to the eye."
"Let us congratulate Li Mingyu, the first goal of the national team's career was born!"
Li Mingyu's goal made the Kareskakis Stadium instantly silent.
But seeing Li Mingyu's wild celebration, the Greek fans were also enraged. They started to mock Li Mingyu with louder voices, and deafening boos immediately rang out throughout the stadium.
However, Li Mingyu didn't care about these things at all. This was his first game representing the national team, and he scored a goal so soon, but the goal was still so wonderful.
In fact, as soon as Pedri kicked out, Li Mingyu already knew where the football landed. He quickly bypassed the defender and arrived at the landing point.
However, Papadopoulos is already standing on the landing point, and that is the most comfortable landing point. It can be seen that Papadopoulos' judgment is very good.
However, because Papadopoulos was a little careless, he didn't go forward to face the ball, but stood on the spot and waited for the ball, which gave Li Mingyu a once-in-a-lifetime chance to cut the beard.
After acquiring the header ability of Angelos Charisteas, Li Mingyu found that not only did he have a clear grasp of where the high-altitude ball would land, but his jumping ability also improved a lot.
It was because of this enhanced jumping ability that Li Mingyu was able to push the ball out before Papadopoulos hit it.
