Chapter 645 There is a kind of free kick called Mihajlovic! Spain 1 France!

Because of Kanter's foul, the Spanish team got a very well-positioned free kick.

Lin Quan resolutely carried out the tasks assigned by the head coach before the game. When encountering such a free kick that had the opportunity to score directly, he would try to take it.

The French team obviously realized that this ball was dangerous, so they very seriously began to arrange defensive positions on the wall and in the penalty area. In order to prevent Lin Quan from taking advantage of the wall to take off and hit the ground, they even Arrange for one player to lie on his side behind the wall.

Seeing this player lying on the lawn in a 'voluptuous' posture, many fans at the scene couldn't help laughing.

But the French players on the court couldn't laugh. If the opponent hadn't successfully scored a goal in this way, who would have thought of guarding against this move!

The Spanish team also attaches great importance to this free kick. Although many people guessed that Lin Quan would take it by himself, they still sent many people to drill into the opponent's penalty area, position themselves in the penalty area, and prepare for the top. Prepare.

Even if Lin Quan didn't drop the ball into the penalty area in the end, they could distract the opponent and add a little boost to Lin Quan's shot.

After Lin Quan placed the ball, he retreated step by step, and he retreated a full seven or eight meters before stopping.

The French team's goalkeeper Lori stood on the goal line, squatting slightly with his legs and staring at Lin Quan.

As the biggest threat to his own goal in the Spanish team, Lori studied a lot of Lin Quan's game videos before the game, which naturally included his free kicks.

After watching the highlights of Lin Quan's free kicks in various games, Lori felt very afraid of Lin Quan's free kicks.

This guy's free kick skills are very high, and unlike those masters who are proficient in one kind of free kick, this guy's arsenal is quite rich, such as elevator balls, leaf balls, S-shaped free kicks...

Just thinking about this, Lori feels a lot of pressure. At this moment, he is the most stressed person on the court.

Lin Quan's free kick was about 27 meters away from the goal and relatively close to the middle, so the opponent had several options.

Before he completes the shot, no one can predict in advance what free kick trick he will use.

Therefore, this requires Lori to judge the free kick technique used by the opponent within the shortest time after the opponent shoots, and find the most appropriate saving method to save the ball.

It's very difficult to do all of this, so I can only hope that my teammates can provide some help.

The free throw shooter will inevitably be interfered by the human wall when taking the free throw. After all, the human wall can have a great interception effect.

Many times, the free throw shooter's ball hits the wall directly.

Even if it bypasses the wall, a large part of it cannot be suppressed, causing the football to go over the crossbar or deviate from the goal frame.

There are very few free kicks that can really go over the wall and hit the goal frame. These 'misses' naturally need to be solved by the goalkeeper.

For Lori, the best result is to rely on the wall of teammates to resolve the crisis on the first line of defense. In that case, he doesn't need to do anything.

The secondary result is that his teammates blocked part of Lin Quan's options by leaning against the wall, forcing him to avoid the wall and shoot from other directions. In this case, the area that Lori needs to save is much smaller, and the save is successful. The rate will naturally be greatly improved.

But, will the other party let him get his wish?

Seeing that Lin Quan was ready to take a free throw, the referee blew the whistle to indicate that he could take a free throw.

Lin Quan glanced at Lori's position and began to accelerate.

One step, two steps, three steps...

With every step he took, his speed became faster, and his image in Lori's sight became taller and taller.

He even had the illusion that every time Lin Quan took a step, the entire stadium was shaking.

Of course, this was impossible. The reason for such hallucinations was entirely because he was too nervous and too afraid of Lin Quan deep down in his heart.

In Lori's mind, at this moment, he suddenly thought of the coin guessing session between the two sides before the game. He was shocked when he saw Lin Quan wearing the captain's armband.

This guy is usually so fierce. This time he wears the captain's armband of the national team. Is he going to explode?
The more Lori thought about it, the more frightened she became, and even her calves couldn't help but start to tremble.

Lin Quan was completely unaware of the opponent's goalkeeper's psychological activities. He strode towards the football. When he was close to the kick-off point, he glanced at the opponent's goalkeeper one last time. After confirming the opponent's position, he chose the direction of the shot.

Bang!
With a loud noise, the football flew out from Lin Quan's outside instep, spinning strongly and flying quickly towards the goal.

The French team's wall jumped high, but the players all heard Lin Quan's powerful and heavy shot. They all turned their heads as much as possible, obviously afraid of being hit in the face by the ball.

If the ball is hit in the face by a heavy shot with such a fast speed, he may faint directly. If he is unlucky and gets a concussion, it is doubtful whether he can play football in the future.

In fact, they were overthinking it. Lin Quan's free kick flew over the wall. Even if they didn't dodge, there was no threat.

Lori kept his eyes on Lin Quan's movements, but until the last moment, he failed to guess what kind of free kick the opponent was kicking.

The swing range of the opponent's thigh was very small, and the method of exerting force seemed to be accomplished by fading away. The movements were very concealed and deceptive, and he could not remember what the move was for a moment.

But when he was about to take a closer look, the football was almost flying in front of him.

Why so fast?
Lori was shocked!
There is no time! I can only go by my feeling!

Lori flew to save in a hurry, but when he just stretched out his hand, he felt as if a gust of wind blew across his cheek.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a swishing sound, and when I turned around, I saw that the football was in close contact with the net.

boom!
The stadium was instantly detonated, and countless Spanish fans jumped with excitement.

In!

We scored!
We're ahead!
The Spaniards roared and shouted, applauded desperately or waved the fan scarves in their hands, and made some sounds that even they themselves could not understand. They were extremely excited.

The fans of the French team were stunned, still in disbelief when they saw the ball still rolling in their own goal.

"Come in now?"

"Why does it feel so easy to score this goal?"

The reason why the fans of the French team found it difficult to accept was mainly because in the first 30 minutes, their defense did an excellent job and did not give Spain any chance.

But the opponent easily changed the score with a free kick opportunity.

Originally, the team's excellent defense had continuously raised their expectations, but with the opponent's goals, their previous expectations fell to the bottom.

This huge contrast made them unable to accept it for a while, making it difficult to believe and accept the result.

"Mikhailovich's free kick!?" Mourinho, who was serving as a guest commentator in the commentary box of Russian TV, exclaimed after seeing this goal.

Seeing his reaction, the host quickly asked:

"What's wrong, Coach Mourinho? What's the story behind Lin Quan's free kick?"

Mourinho nodded: "There once was an unparalleled free kick genius in Serie A. His name was Mihajlovic. Many people who saw his free kicks praised him as the best on the planet. free kick player.

His free kicks are extremely threatening, and his choice of direction of the shot, technique of exerting force, angle of rotation of the ball, etc. are all very tricky.

This makes his free kick shooting rate particularly high. As long as you create a chance for him, he can give you a miracle. In Serie A, which was known as the Little World Cup, many well-known goalkeepers suffered at his hands. "

Seeing that the beautiful host seemed a little confused, Mourinho had to use as easy-to-understand words as possible to describe:

"As we all know, it is very difficult to score a direct free kick in the game, but Mihajlovic once scored three consecutive free kicks in a Serie A game and became a god in one battle!
I really didn't expect that after he retired, there would be someone who could kick such an authentic American free kick. "

Mourinho repeatedly lamented that every time he saw Lin Quan, this kid could surprise him.

In the front row of the stadium, Guardiola couldn't help laughing after seeing Lin Quan's goal.

Lin Quan also used this trick in a previous game with Manchester City and scored a goal.

But for some reason, he rarely uses this move. It must be too difficult!
This is why so many people are surprised, probably because they pay less attention and have never seen it!
The characteristics of the American free kick are actually very obvious. When taking a free kick, the body should be stretched as much as possible and the calf should be used to exert force, making it more difficult for the goalkeeper to predict.

After the ball flew out, it was extremely fast and had a strong rotation.

Faced with this kind of heavy and spinning football, it is extremely difficult for the goalkeeper to make a successful save.

First of all, the goalkeeper needs to have a good reaction speed and complete the save in the shortest time. If he is a little slower, the ball will go in, because the speed is too fast.

Second, when handling the ball, the goalkeeper must make a clever save. Otherwise, even if he touches the ball, he will not be able to save the ball from the goal frame due to the speed and rotation of the football.

In many of Mikhailovich's free kicks, the goalkeeper touched the ball, but failed to save it. Instead, the ball touched the goalkeeper's hand and then changed direction and refracted into the net.

But how to deal with it correctly may be difficult. After all, few people can perfectly replicate this kind of free kick, so the goalkeeper doesn't even have the opportunity to practice.

As for the French goalkeeper, he didn't even get past the first hurdle and was scored directly because of his slow reaction.

Compared with the fans in the stands, the reaction of the Spanish players in the stadium was even crazier.

After Lin Quan scored, the Spanish players crowded in the opponent's penalty area were like crazy bullfights, breathing heavily from their nostrils, and rushed towards Lin Quan crazily.

Scored!
Finally scored!
Lin Quan's goal was like a blessing after a long drought for the Spanish team. It was a timely rain!
If they don't score a goal, they will almost collapse under the pressure.

"Well done, Lin!"

David Silva gave Lin Quan a big hug.

"Good cum!"

Ramos rubbed Lin Quan's hair lovingly.

"What kind of free kick trick is this? I want to learn it!"

Isco worshiped Lin Quan directly, as if he was worshiping a god.

Looking at this group of teammates who were like living treasures, Lin Quan couldn't help but laugh.

"Thank you all for your compliments. If you want to learn Isco, I will teach you when I have time in the future, but I cannot guarantee that you will be able to learn it. After all, this kind of free kick is very difficult and requires the players' physical fitness and talent. "

Isco looked like he understood: "Brother Lin, don't worry. If I can't learn it, it's because I'm stupid and it has nothing to do with you."

With Lin Quan's goal in hand, the atmosphere in the Spanish team suddenly became much more relaxed.

Although they are still a little short of their goal in the first half, they have an advantage in their hands and feel mentally confident. They don't want to be as impatient as before.

On the other hand, after the French team lost this goal, their morale was obviously affected.

Especially their goalkeeper Lloris, as the captain of the French team, he should have stepped forward to boost morale and calm the emotions of his teammates at this time.

But he himself was the one who was most seriously injured. He had not yet recovered from the previous shock and frustration, and he simply forgot to perform his duties as captain.

Seeing that Lori didn't say anything, Mbappe and Griezmann were the only two people to stand up.

Griezmann: "It doesn't matter. The game is still very long and we are only behind by one goal. We have experienced this kind of thing a lot. It's not a big deal. When the opponent has no energy left in the second half, we can score as many as we want."

Mbappe: "Yes, you just need to pass the ball to me and leave the rest to me!"

After hearing these two words, the morale of the French players on the field recovered slightly.

Yeah, it's only the first half and we're only one goal behind, what's the big deal.

"Griezmann and Mbappe are right. The opponent just scored a goal by luck with a free kick. It was not a goal that broke through our defense. This kind of goal scored by luck is nothing. The big deal is, could the opponent score another free kick?”

Pogba has the highest value in the team. Seeing Griezmann and Mbappe competing for the right to speak, Pogba immediately couldn't sit still.

He has always regarded himself as the absolute core of this team, thinking that he is the boss of this French team.

Mbappe and Griezmann looked at each other and did not continue to speak.

Pogba is right about one thing, that is, Spain's way of scoring is a bit tricky.

If they had scored the goal openly by relying on positional battles, then the French team might be really in danger, because it means that they cannot prevent the opponent's attack.

But the Spanish team relies on free kicks, which is a problem.

As long as they can't break the French team's defense, there is no need for the French team to be anxious.

Being behind by a goal was not a problem for them at all and they were confident enough to come back in the second half.

Unless, as Pogba said, the opponent scores more goals through free kicks.

But is this really possible? (End of chapter)
