Chapter 924: Twenty-one thousand six hundred repetitions
"Manchester City were down less than twenty minutes into the game and it was a bad deal for them...... Now it's their turn to tee off, glory...... He didn't pass the ball back, but chose to rush forward with the ball himself! Does he want to solve all the problems alone? ”
The voice of the narrator He Ping came from the TV.
Although it is not the main match of the Champions League, but because this game has the glory to participate, so China's CCTV still broadcast this game live, Beijing time at 2:45 a.m., this time should be the time when Chinese are asleep, but now there are many Chinese fans staying up late waiting in front of the TV.
For them, this game is special and important.
Glory has been away from the Champions League for a season and a half, and they are very unaccustomed to the absence of Glory on every Champions League matchday in this season and a half.
Now that Glory has finally led Manchester City to make a comeback, they are naturally very concerned about whether Glory can participate in the Champions League. What's the point of just coming to the qualifiers to play soy sauce once?
Unexpectedly, in the first 18 minutes, Manchester City fell behind, which really made the Chinese fans in front of the TV anxious.
I believe that in China, there are not many Celtic fans, and those who support Glory have an absolute advantage, so after the Celtic goal, no one cheered for them.
Everyone can understand Rongguang's anger, but when they saw Rongguang rushing to the opponent's goal with the ball alone, they were still surprised, they didn't expect Rongguang to choose such a way to counterattack.
Does Glory want to score a goal?
Everyone is looking forward to it.
But at this time, Rongguang was knocked to the ground after passing the three people on the other side.
A shrill whistle followed, and the Celtics fouled!
"! Vile! Shameless! ”
"Ahh ****! This should give a red card! Angry Chinese fans pointed at the screen in front of the TV and roared, completely oblivious that it was already past 3 a.m., and they didn't know how many people they were going to wake up......
The referee didn't listen to the Chinese fans, and he didn't show a red card to the fouling Celtics player Scott Brown, not even a yellow card.
He just gave City a free-kick.
After all, the foul site is too far from the goal, and there are many Celtic players behind the foul site. Although it was a knockover, the foul action was not large, and any physical contact between the two sides in high-speed movement could lead to loss of balance.
Rongguang, who was knocked to the ground, did not lie on the ground and couldn't get up, he quickly rolled over and stood up, and then asked his teammates for the ball, and motioned for his teammates to throw the football to him.
I didn't take the other party's foul to heart at all.
The Celtics players also quickly returned to the defense and began to build a human wall.
A foul stopped Glory's seemingly dangerous breakthrough this time, which was very well deserved.
The foul was about 37 meters away from the goal, and at such a distance, it was impossible for Rongguang to send the ball directly into the goal.
Celtic carefully studied the footage of Rongguang's recent games before the game, and knew that Rongguang was good at free kicks, but he was mainly good at left-footed curling kicks from close range, and he was not good at free kicks from such a distance. Although he scored one in the FA Cup final, that goal was more a matter of luck. Celtic didn't believe that Glory could have such good luck in this game, and that such a long-range free-kick could have allowed him to score......
All in all, a foul in this place is safe for the Celtic goal.
Sneijder was going to come up and kick it, but he was thinking of an indirect free-kick that would hit the ball in front of the Celtic goal and create chaos in front of goal.
But looking at Rongguang's posture of placing the ball in person, he knew that Rongguang was definitely going to play by himself.
If Glory wants to play this ball, no matter whether he should play it or not, no one else can take it away.
Although Sneijder has not been in the team for a long time, he has also understood this deeply, so he did not come up to fight for glory.
In any case, Rong Guang is not only the captain of the team, but also the actual boss, although he is very young, but his majesty, no one dares to touch it.
The ball was swinging longer than he had taken to curl with his left foot, and he placed it carefully, and after setting it up for the first time, as soon as he let go of his hand, the ball tilted to the side, and he started again.
It was repeated several times before the football was stabilized.
Then he got up and stepped back.
After about three steps, he took another half step back.
Now everyone can see that Rong Guang is coming to take the free kick himself.
His long-range free-kick in last season's final FA Cup final will be remembered by many, especially by England commentators and Manchester City fans.
But...... The last time he scored that goal, he had traveled a lot farther than he did now.
If Glory was going to volley hard, he should go a little further so that his speed could be fully unleashed......
Now this running distance feels no different from a normal close-range free kick......
Everyone couldn't figure out what Glory was doing like this.
The Celtics fans in the stands booed Glory, and in the stands behind the Celtics goal, the Celtics fans in green and white sword stripes were waving flags in their hands in an attempt to distract Glory.
※※※
After the glory stood still, the other party's human wall had already been placed. After the referee made sure that both players were in position, he blew the whistle.
Glory leaned forward as if he had heard the starting pistol of a race, and at the moment the whistle sounded, he leaned forward and ran forward.
Each step is not big, the speed of the run-up is not too fast, the forefoot touches the ground, and the foot is like a spring.
This left onlookers confused - can this kind of run kick be a powerful free kick?
It's completely different from the goal of glory in the FA Cup......
At this time, José Alemani, who was only watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV, leaned forward and stared at the TV screen with some happiness.
From the moment Glory began to recede, he felt very familiar, and now that he saw this scene, the scene in Godot's training camp resurfaced in front of his eyes.
He has watched this action at least 20,000 times!
The repeated exercises, to the end, all converged on the shape of Rongguang at this moment, every step of Rongguang ran very steadily, but also very relaxed, his body was not stiff, and there was no excessive force.
Then he saw Rongguang running to the football, his left foot firmly planted next to the football, he looked down at the football, his right foot picked up, the thigh swing was not large, but the calf was fast, like a whip, and the foot pumped towards the football!
Here it comes!
※※※
Rongguang looked down at the football, completely ignoring the distance between the wall and the goal, his eyes were firmly locked on the valve core of the football, and then he saw that his right foot toe kicked the football!
Boom!
He quickly retracted his leg and didn't let his right foot continue to follow the football.
Twenty-eleven six hundred repetitions and repetitions, at this moment his body movements were accurate to the neurons!
The football was kicked into the air by him, barely moving in the air!
※※※
Because the distance was too far, there were only three people lined up in the Celtic human wall, but they were not perfunctory, and when they got up in glory, they did not jump on the spot, but rushed directly towards the football, wanting to shorten the distance with the football and block a larger angle.
But they weren't able to stop the ball because it took off higher than they expected.
The soccer ball flew over their heads, the ball was so fast that they didn't even react, and if the soccer ball was a little lower, it might just be stuffed in their faces!
※※※
After the football was kicked out, Rongguang's eyes caught up with the football, and when he saw the shape of the football in the air, his expression changed slightly.
Do you have?
Yes - No - Yes -
His eyes widened.
In his eyes, the football, which should have been straight forward, began to deflect to the right...... Did you make a mistake?
Just as this suspicion arose in his heart, he found that the football had slammed down to the lower left again!
※※※
Celtic goalkeeper Artur Borush saw the ball fly up and started flying towards his left, thinking it was a shot straight to the left of the goal, so he took a step that way and was about to take off.
The ball was too far away, and now the direction of the shot is clear, so it's too good to save......
He couldn't figure out what the threat of Glory's kick would be...... In that case, it would be better to let Sneijder play and hoist the football directly into the box, which may be a greater threat to himself......
But just as his legs and knees were bent, the center of gravity of his body sank, and his feet were about to kick out, he saw the soccer ball in the air fall in the opposite direction!
Flew to the other side! The right side of the goal!
But at this point, it was impossible for him to readjust his center of gravity, and it was good that he was able to force the brakes and not let himself pounce directly on the opposite side...... The only thing he could do now was turn his head, his eyes wide, and watch with a hellish expression as the ball flew into the goal from the right side of his body!
Then his body fell backwards, as if he had been hit by a bullet, and he fell face up in the goal!
He saw the night sky, and the net, which had been stirred up by the football, dangled before his eyes.
The ball went in!!
※※※
José Alemani in front of the TV stood up sharply from his chair and raised his arms, he did not cheer, he just made a gesture of cheering, his eyes still fixed on the TV screen, and the light in his eyes flowed from the reflected fluorescent screen of the television.
21,600 repetitions, and today!
The scene that was very noisy before, it was like someone suddenly pressed the mute button, and the boos disappeared in an instant!
