"Golai takes this free-kick?" Casirio turned to Bruni, "I don't remember him practising free-kicks in training." ”

Bruni nodded: "Well, he hasn't practiced free-kicks. ”

"That ......"

"A little caution from your teammates."

Casirio was silent.

A similar conversation took place in the dugout at AC Milan.

"Will Gao take a free kick?" Gary asked Stropa.

"At least not in Vismara." Stropa said.

"That's what you practiced in Sampdoria?" Gary touched his chin and looked at Gao Zheng on the field.

Then he noticed that Gao Zheng, who was originally standing behind the left side of the football, suddenly changed his position, moved to the right, and stood behind the right side of the football.

In the left rear of the football, after the run-up, it should be a right-footed shot, which is also in line with Gao Zheng's habit that his right foot is an advantageous foot, but now it is changed to the right rear of the football, which means ......

Could it be that he is going to use the outside of his right foot to pump the ball?

It's hard to kick a ball into the goal......

Former Brazilian superstar Roberto Carlos is known for his left-footed outside volley, most famously in the 1997 Four Nations Invitational Tournament against France, where he scored a shocking free-kick with the outside of his left instep, which was considered the goal of the century. Butters, the goalkeeper who was guarding the goal for France at the time, described how he watched the football at the beginning with the corner flag, but he never imagined that the football would turn a corner and fly into his own goal......

This is the characteristic of the outside instep free kick, which is fast, powerful and curved.

It's just that it's generally a free kick that is facing the goal and is far away, so you will choose to use the outside instep to draw it.

For a free kick like this, which is not very far away from the angle, few people would choose to volley with the outside instep......

Gary couldn't figure out what Gao Zheng thought and why he chose this way to take the free kick.

However, he felt that the free-kick should not pose much of a threat to the AC Milan reserve goal.

Stropa narrowed his eyes beside him.

After Gao Zheng stood up, the human wall of the AC Milan reserve team was almost built.

In order to help Gao Zheng, there are still people on Sampdoria's side who squeezed into AC Milan's human wall, planning to "tear down the wall" - the so-called "demolition of the wall" is to arrange their own players in the opponent's human wall, so that the free kick penalty player can aim at where his players are when he plays. Then your players are quickly withdrawing, which causes a gap in the human wall, and the ball flies through this gap and catches the opposing goalkeeper by surprise.

This is a common tactic in free-kicks.

However, Gao Zheng has never practiced such tactics with his teammates, and he has never practiced free kicks in private, and this kind of conventional free kick tactics may not work for him.

He didn't have the confidence to get the ball into that gap accurately. In fact, not only that, even those free kick masters can't do where to hit every time, and sometimes it depends on luck to tear down the wall......

So Gao Zheng looked at a teammate who helped, and decided to follow his own ideas.

The referee blew the whistle, Gao Zheng began to run, and then to the surprise of Gary off the field, he actually picked up his left foot and kicked the football!

As he was about to play football, the AC Milan players also jumped up and widened the defensive height of the wall, intending to block Gao Zheng's shot.

But after they jumped up, they were surprised to find that the football kicked out by Gao Zheng was not flying upward, but rushing forward against the turf!

The football rolled under their feet!

The soccer ball spun quickly on the turf, plowing the turf into a clear arc and hitting the near corner of the goal!

All of Pichteli's attention was on the top of the wall, and he looked up at it, waiting for the football to appear around the wall.

But out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow coming under the human wall!

By the time he realized it was a soccer ball and threw himself on the ground again, it was too late......

The soccer ball just ploughed through the turf and rolled into the goal!

Everyone froze.

"This ...... What the hell is this! Philip Gary was stunned for a moment before exclaiming.

'As you can see, Philip, it's a very smart free-kick. Stropa gritted his teeth.

He asked the players to increase the intensity of physical confrontation and use physical confrontation to deal with Gao Zheng.

But it's actually a double-edged sword, and sometimes players can use their strong bodies to occupy the top and grab the ball. But sometimes such frequent physical confrontations will definitely increase the chance of fouls and give the opponent a chance to take a free kick.

This conceded goal is the best illustration of this.

"No, Giovanni, I'm convinced that this ball is really luck!" Philip Galli said very seriously.

Stropa ignored him.

In the dugout of the Sampdoria reserve team, Casirio raised his arms and cheered: "What a beautiful goal!" Playing too smart! If I hadn't watched Gao practice, I would have thought he had secretly practiced free-kicks! ”

Bruni smiled and said, "You know what, Alfredo. Actually, this free kick inspired me......"

"What inspiration?"

"Since everyone knows that Gao is not good at physical confrontation and will want to use confrontation to suppress him, then why not let Gao Duo practice free kicks? It's like this......" Bruni said, pointing to Gao Zheng, who was celebrating with his teammates on the field.

Casirio turned his head to look at Bruni: "You're a genius, Luciano!" What a great idea! ”

"The genius is Gao Zheng, and I said that it was his goals that inspired me." Bruni is humble.

The AC Milan reserve players looked back at the football that was already in the goal, and all of them had a look of surprise on their faces.

In the previous goal, Gao Zheng scored very beautifully, and they were not so surprised. Because they know that Gao Zheng can't kick a free kick, he has never kicked a free kick when he played with everyone before.

But why hasn't he seen him for more than a year, Gao Zheng has even learned to take free kicks?

Was he banished, or did he go leveling......

The Sampdoria reserve players were celebrating wildly, and they gathered around Gao Zheng and asked loudly: "Haven't you really secretly practiced a free kick in private!?" ”

Gao Zheng hurriedly shook his head: "There really isn't a ...... Not once, it was my first ......."

"It's unbelievable! How did you come up with the idea to kick from below? ”

"Normally, don't people jump up when they defend a free kick? I thought what would happen if I shot the ball from below while they were jumping......"

"Genius!"

"Worthy of the Great Demon King!"

Everyone exclaimed.

PS, in fact, the free kick that is close to the ground is nothing new, but Gao Zheng's goal was inspired by the free kick of Colombian player Quintero in this World Cup - I wrote this chapter after watching that game......

In addition, yesterday I briefly talked about the difference between Japanese football and us, which extended a topic of "campus football", so what is the problem with our Chinese campus football?

I wrote a long article in today's public account linhaitingtao11 to talk to you about my views on campus football. This is actually one of the points I mentioned in this book - we always complain that parents don't send their children to play football, but are we ready for these children and parents to play football?

Everyone is welcome to see it.

Finally, let's start today's X**C event:

Today's four games.

Australia should be able to beat Peru by one goal.

And I don't think there is any suspense in the match between Denmark and France, it is difficult for Denmark to beat France, and France now looks like the most champion-low-key to win, unlike England, which makes a big news of 6:1 at every turn......

So I think France should be able to beat Denmark by one goal, which is in line with the French team – they can win, but they don't win by a big margin.

Tomorrow night's match between Nigeria and Argentina is a do-or-die affair, and although I have criticised Messi's performances in the first two games, I am optimistic that he will bounce back and help Argentina beat Nigeria to progress to the knockout rounds.

So in this game, I fancy Argentina to beat Nigeria by two goals.

As for the match between Croatia and Iceland, Croatia is said to have rested those players who have received yellow cards, but Iceland is limited in strength and the two teams should be tied.

That's it, let's wait and see!
