Chapter Thirty-Six: One Kick Closer Than One Kick to the Ball...
See the fastest updates
Rong Guang watched the ball go over the crossbar and flew straight to the stands behind the goal.
The first long-range shot of the game flew away.
But Glory was not annoyed and frustrated.
I've only been practicing long-range shooting for a day, and this kick is normal.
If an ordinary person kicks this kick and is ridiculed and dissuaded, they will dispel this idea and honestly play according to the original rhythm, even if the performance is not good enough and they lose their starting position in the next game, they will not complain about anything.
But the glory is different.
Those malicious laughter and eyes couldn't stop him from trying to shoot from a distance.
It was the only way to save himself, and he couldn't abandon his intention to try a long-range shot.
If he doesn't put up a convincing performance in this game, he knows if he will be able to be in the starting lineup for the next game.
Seizing the day and seizing the present opportunity is the attitude of glory.
So when he got the ball again, he undoubtedly had another long-range shot!
Rong received the ball and turned around...... It's a long shot again! ”
"It's still high this time! What's he doing? Two long-range shots in a row were kicked high ......"
There was some grumbling in the narrator's tone.
"Look, that's the problem with newbies, it's not stable enough! You don't know what he's thinking! Grayson spread his hands and shook his head in the media booth.
Combined with Glory's performance, he seems to be right.
Even Godot in the stands felt that Glory was a little too anxious?
He's only been practicing long-range shooting for a day......
He believed that with his glorious ability to learn, as long as he waited another week, it should be fine.
But alas...... He also doesn't admit that time waits for no one.
If this game is no longer convincing, time will not give glory a chance.
But it's not a way to keep playing like this...... Just squandered the opportunity like this, how many people are willing to pass football to glory? Even if this game is over, it is estimated that in the next game, Rongguang will definitely not have the opportunity to play again.
No matter how much Godot thinks about it, he feels that Glory is a dead end this time.
He frowned.

“…… He opted for a long-range shot with both kicks in a row, completely ignoring his teammates beckoning to him elsewhere. Rong's choice was very bad. I think it proves once again his lack of ball intelligence – that assist against Botafogo in the first round of the tournament has proven to be just luck......"
Cafory's voice came through the TV speakers.
Sun Fengyang snorted after hearing Kafurui's explanation: "Low ball quotient? You don't know anything! ”
He noticed that Glory had two long-range shots, one closer than the other.
The first kick was ridiculously high, but the second kick could be clearly felt, and he deliberately pressed the ball. But because it was a long-range shot, it was too difficult to exert force and press the ball, so in the end I shot the football high. But compared to the first goal, this second ball was very close to the crossbar.
A very bold idea popped up in Sun Fengyang's mind - maybe soon, the glory will be able to shoot within the range of the door frame!
Think about when you told him about long shots. Think about his training time again......
Sun Fengyang felt that this kid was simply a monster!

"Rong!" Fabiano just raised his hand, trying to get Glory to pass the football to him, although his position was not good, but he still wanted to try to attack it.
But Rongguang didn't even look at him, and shot the football directly at the goal.
He was also a little dissatisfied.
Wasted two offensive chances in a row, and if you go on like this, who will pass the ball to you?
Glory heard Fabiano's voice, and he made an apologetic gesture to Fabiano.
But that didn't make him change his mind.
As long as he has the ball, he still has to try to shoot from distance.
Because he's found pattern with those two long-range shots.
He found that he cared too much about not shooting, and it didn't work well.
He cared very much about the first kick, but the force was too hard, and the ball flew high over the crossbar.
He didn't care so much about the second kick, he just wanted to kick it in the range of the door frame, and the height was a lot lower.
He had practiced the technique of long-range shooting when he practiced shooting, and he didn't have to start from scratch.
It's all about the rhythm.
The rhythm from receiving the ball to shooting.
The rhythm of the body.
It's a feeling that gradually accumulates over countless long-range exercises and is remembered by all cells.
It's a pity that he doesn't have that much time for this kind of repetitive practice.
Ninety minutes in this game...... No, it's already the second half, and he doesn't even have forty-five minutes to decide his fate.
He raised his hand again to ask for the ball.
Meanwhile, next to him, Kaka took advantage of a change of direction to temporarily shake off his defender San Caetano, and quickly raised his arm to ask for the ball from his teammate behind him.
※※※
Glory really doesn't have any San Caetano players in defense right now, anyway, the San Caetano players have figured out all the glory, as long as he doesn't get into the box, his threat to the goal is almost zero.
So when he gets the ball outside the box, the San Caetano players don't get too nervous, and if he wants to break through vertically, then build a wall of iron in front of him.
More of their defensive attention was on Fabiano and Kaka.
Kaka, in particular, has scored in four consecutive games and is also a threat with a long-range shot from outside the box.
It must be guarded against rigidity.
Now both Rongguang and Kaka are in front of them to ask for the ball.
Without even thinking about it, Ricardinho passed the football to Kaka.
However, both Kaka and Ricardinho underestimated the defensive intensity of the San Caetano players against Kaka.
Just as Kaka was receiving the ball, the San Caetano player, who had just been thrown away by him, pressed up again.
This time, Kaka couldn't even turn around.
Kaka, with his back to the attack, could actually re-pass the ball to Ricardinho.
However, he didn't choose to do so, and the inaction in the first half also made him feel very angry. Originally, he had scored in four consecutive games, and he was in full form, and he still wanted to completely shake off the glory in one go.
As a result, the game was closely guarded by the opponent.
Not far from it stood Glory.
He can also pass the ball over. But he certainly couldn't do that.
He's going to get out of the defense himself.
Kaka tried to force a turn, but the opponent saw through his intentions, stretched out his foot and stabbed the football first, Kaka turned around but tripped the opponent's foot, stumbled, and if it wasn't for his hand to hold it up, it was estimated that he would have fallen directly to the ground.
He looked up unwillingly, and saw the football roll to the feet of glory.
He clenched his fists.
How did it end up at his feet?
If he shoots directly from distance, then Sao Paulo will waste another attacking opportunity!
※※※
"Rong received the ball, is he going to shoot directly from a distance again?!"
Bueno, the narrator, shouted.
There was even some expectation - not expecting Glory to score, but hoping that Glory would come back with a long-range shot, and then he could laugh at Glory.
He saw a San Caetano player pressing up the moment he received the ball in glory.
"What a team that has reached the final of the National Championship two years in a row! The San Caetano men didn't let their guard down when Saka had two long-range shots in quick succession that went over the crossbar...... But I'd love to say you're overthinking......"
Bueno was seizing every opportunity to ridicule the glory when he saw the glory suddenly move.
He didn't shoot directly from a distance!
He took the football forward!
Although there is a chance that the result of going forward will be cut off, the chance of success is better than just a direct long-range shot, right?
On top of that, you put an end to Sao Paulo's attack with a long-range shot, which was too fast. It's like a man with premature ejaculation, it's too demoralizing.
You break through with the ball, no matter what the final result is, there is always a process, which makes people have some longing and reverie.
"Breakthrough!"
Bueno also exclaimed excitedly, has this kid finally figured it out?
Seeing Glory break through with the ball, the players of San Caetano, who came to defend him, suddenly became more nervous than before.
His body tensed, and he quickly rushed out sideways, moving closer to the glory, intending to disturb him.
He knew that if Glory wanted to break through, it would be difficult for him, as the first line of defense, to stop Glory. His role is to distract him as much as possible so that he can't concentrate on the defenders who are coming up.
Seeing the glory break through, there was also a San Caetano player who immediately approached the glory, but did not completely force it, but was at a good distance. If Rongguang wants to forcibly break through his first teammate, then he can just pick up the cheap behind.
Godot was relieved to see Glory suddenly change his strategy in the stands - not that he couldn't shoot from a distance, but that the game was too hasty, and he was better at breaking through Glory than to break through it, and maybe he could create some chances......

"Whether it's a long-range shot or a breakthrough, the end result is the same, it's a wasted opportunity!" Reinaldo spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
He didn't even look any further, and closed his eyes in disdain.
But he heard his teammates get up from their seats.
He quickly opened his eyes and found his teammates standing in front of their seats, looking intently into the field.
He didn't understand what was going on......
※※※
Glory was supposed to break through to the left, but he made a sudden stop!
Then use the outside of your right foot to flick the ball to the right and start the change of direction!
He went from the right!
The player who defended him San Caetano was not vegetarian, and immediately turned around and pounced on Glory, he was no longer Glory in terms of speed, so he threw his center of gravity out of the gloom, his body was almost parallel to the ground, and the whole person pounced, and he didn't think about whether he could continue to act, as long as he could create some interference for Glory's dribbling.
But Rongguang didn't continue to dribble the ball forward.
After temporarily shaking off the San Caetano players who were defending him, Glory picked up his right foot directly!
His left foot was firmly on the side of the football, and although the football rolled forward, it was not fast, and the right leg picked up by Rong Guang followed!
In order to keep the football as low as possible, Glory's right foot was straight, and the toes were pointing to the ground, and he kicked the middle and upper part of the football.
Boom!
Kick solid.
The grass clippings flew and captivated the eyes of the San Caetano players who turned and pounced.
He reflexively narrowed his eyes.
Then he felt another gust of wind blow across his face.
※※※
"Here we go again, long shot!"
Bueno said that you kid really didn't disappoint me, I found a chance!
But the next second he was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, the ball crashed through the ten fingers of the San Caetano goalkeeper and drilled into the goal!
