Chapter 985: A flash of inspiration
Kaka, who was listening to the tactical coach's assignment on the pitch, was attracted by the sudden whistle on the field, and he looked up at the field, his form had dropped significantly this year.
Being able to come off the bench in such a crucial Champions League semi-final is an opportunity for him to redeem himself, so he really appreciates it.
"Kaka?"
Just as Kaka's attention shifted to the field, the tactical coach shouted with a frown.
"Huh?" Kaka quickly withdrew his eager gaze and apologized to the tactical coach embarrassedly: "Sorry Mr. Coach, I'm in a hurry to fight!" ”
"Remember to listen carefully when you play, you can't play without understanding what you need to do after you play, you know?"
"Got it, sir."
The camera returns to the pitch, where the referee just points out the importance of Khedira's foul and pulls out a yellow card.
In an attacking environment, fouls like Khedira, who clearly had the intention of tactical fouls, must receive a yellow card, so Khedira did not reason with the referee, but picked the ball up from the turf and prevented Valencia from quickly opening a free kick at his feet.
In fact, he doesn't have to be so nervous, in an attacking environment, during the referee's yellow card, the attacking side does not have the authority to take a free kick quickly.
However, Mourinho was very excited off the field, and he thought that the referee's decision was debatable, because the foul in this position was not a sensitive place, and the direct threat to the Real Madrid goal was not great, and the yellow card was too harsh.
The fourth official on the sidelines had to trot over to calm Mourinho's emotions, and he was both gracious and powerful.
Mourinho looked up again at the place where Khedira had fouled, and it was not very promising to directly threaten the goal with a visual sight of more than 35 meters, so he turned around and walked to his technical command area to remind the team to pay attention to the defense in the penalty area.
The place where Khedira committed the foul was indeed a bit far away, and the distance given on live TV was 38 meters, which means that the place of the foul was 38 meters away from the goal in a straight line.
Although the foul site is nearly 90 degrees from the left post of the goal, this foul site is still a bit far from the category of direct free kicks, so no one thinks that Valencia's set-piece will shoot directly at goal, and it is more likely that the ball will be passed into the penalty area and contested by its own players.
In addition, Ailo did not try to score a direct free kick at this distance, so no one even in Valencia's players thought that Ailo would take a free kick, let alone Real Madrid?
Cazorla trotted over and snatched the ball from Khedira's hand and placed it in the spot designated by the referee for the foul, ready to take the free-kick in front.
Godin and Albiol were two central defenders running towards the Real Madrid penalty area, giving the impression that it was a set-piece set-piece set-piece set-up play.
Just as Cazorla had stepped back enough distance to wait for the referee's whistle, Iello stood on the right side of the ball, tiptoeing to look at the goal, and visually measuring the distance - far enough.
The 7.32 wide goal looks very small, and with players from both sides in the box and at the edge of the box, it is really difficult to score directly.
But he's still ready to give it a try.
So Iello took two steps back, trying to get the set-piece in Cazorla's hands.
Because the Santiago Bernabeu stadium was too loud, he had to cover his mouth and say loudly in Cazorla's ear: "Third brother, I want to try." ”
Cazorla didn't feel any discomfort at Iroh's request, but simply said, "Okay, no problem." ”
※※※
Iroh bent down to take the soccer ball that Cazorla had placed earlier, and wiped the grass off the skin of the soccer ball with his shirt before placing it back at the foul site.
For Iro's desire to take this 38-meter direct free kick, Huang Jianxiang of the on-site commentary seat was quite surprised: "Huh? Is Iroh ready to take this direct free-kick? Wouldn't it be a little too far? Is he more dangerous than taking a free-kick in the penalty area? ”
Even Valencia No. 1 commentator Hyde was surprised: "Although Ai scored two direct free-kicks in the first half, isn't that a bit far away? Would it be better to enter the penalty area to grab points? ”
However, the guest Canizares was not surprised, he smiled and said, "Haha...... I still think Ai will create miracles, because he is the spokesperson of miracles, doesn't he? ”
After Canizares' explanation, Hyde opened his mouth half-open, his head was running at high speed, and he immediately grasped the point, nodded and said, "That's right! ”
At this point, Iroh retreated enough distance.
This time the distance was farther than before, more than five meters.
Seeing Iello put on a stance, goalkeeper Casillas shook and conceded two direct free kicks in the first half, what if he conceded another one?
Then he will once again be the focus of ridicule in the world!
So to be on the safe side, Casillas trotted to the big penalty line and asked for an extra man wall in front of him to seal the angle.
As the wall increased, Iroh had to reconsider how to take the set-piece.
Nearly forty meters away from the goal, it is definitely necessary to shoot vigorously, and this way of shooting is difficult to grasp the power point, the previous two-person wall is relatively easy to bypass, but it is a little difficult to want a three-person wall......
However, his mind suddenly flashed the shocking S-shaped explosive free kick kicked by Robert Carlos in the 1997 warm-up match between Brazil and France.
With Casillas' nervousness, the mood soon spread to the Real Madrid fans in the stands.
Seeing that Iroh retreated so far away, as a former subordinate general, where did Mourinho not know what Iroh wanted to do?
It's clear that you want to shoot straight at goal!
Just as he was about to say something, the referee's whistle sounded.
The whistle sounded, and Iroh began to run.
Nearly 40 meters of direct free kick, he took a small step.
However, he did not always take small steps, but made slight adjustments in the first three steps.
The next step is the adjustment of the big stride, the last step is the largest, more than a meter away, the left foot is next to the football, his strong thigh muscles are fully displayed at this moment, the left arm is naturally swinged, keep the body balanced, and then pick up the right foot and kick the football fiercely.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound.
At the same time, Iroh felt the feedback from the football on the three toes of his right foot, and did not retract his right foot after completing the technical action of the shot, but swung his leg forward with the force.
His left foot was also in the air because of the power that burst out of his right foot, a typical burst!
