Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five

The so-called deciduous ball (second more, ask for a monthly pass!)

Chen Yingxiong's two goals became the focus of media discussion after the game.

On the one hand, Chen Yingxiong's state has recovered and scored twice. This is news in itself.

On the other hand, both of his goals were scored by free kicks. Chen Yingxiong has scored free kicks before, but very few. Among the more than 100 goals in his career, they are so few that they are not worth mentioning. Even he himself did not say that he was good at kicking free kicks. No matter which team he is in, he is fine with free kicks.

But in this situation, he scored two free kicks in a game.

After the match, Chen Yingxiong, who broke the scoring shortage, also accepted interviews with reporters again. Regarding the two goals, he said: "...Yes, I scored two free kicks. It's beautiful, right? Of course I can play. Free kick. It’s no surprise. Isn’t a free kick just a long shot without interference? There is a wall? It’s okay, just blast away! Hahaha! I think you will often see my free kicks in the future. The ball!"

"...Chen Yingxiong who scored the goal appeared to be in a good mood. He also revealed a very important message, that is... he may have mastered the free kick skills. I think for his opponents, this is definitely not the case. A news they want to hear..."

In the TV show, the news announcer is broadcasting the news of the game that ended in the afternoon.

It is not unusual for Chen Yingxiong to score two goals in a game. He often does this kind of thing. But if you score two free kicks in a game, it is very rare, not to mention that the two free kicks scored in a game are all... deciduous balls!

The deciduous ball was originally invented by the famous Brazilian star Di Di, but Di Di’s era is too far away. Therefore, many people think that the deciduous ball was invented by the Italian star Albertini. In fact, he is the one who promoted the deciduous ball.

Among the currently active players, the players who play the ball well are Pirlo, Junior Juninho and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is a little bit special. According to the nickname given to him by the media for free kicks, it should be called "elevator ball." However, his free kick is in the same vein as the leaf ball. Ronaldo himself said that when he practiced free kicks, he referred to the kind of deciduous ball played by a large number of junior Juninho.

In fact, "deciduous ball" is just a general term. If you classify it carefully, there are many more "deciduous ball". Everyone who is good at this kind of free kick has his own characteristics and is completely different from others.

But there is always a common feature, otherwise all free kicks can be called deciduous balls, which is obviously not good. The unified feature of the deciduous ball is the sudden drop in front of the goal.

This is mainly achieved by two methods, one is to rotate forward sharply, and the other is to not rotate at all.

This sounds contradictory. Rotating and non-rotating are basically two actions. How can it be possible to achieve the same result?

But in fact it is. If you want the football to spin up and fall down, you have to pull up when you touch the ball, so that the football will continue to spin forward during the flight, rubbing against the air, and then reach the goal. At that time, due to the force generated by friction, the flight trajectory was changed and the flight fell.

This kind of ball falling is mainly accomplished by spinning.

The non-spinning football uses another method to achieve the result of making the football fall, that is, the unbalanced airflow disturbance.

Anything flying in the air will cause air disturbance around itself, which is a natural phenomenon. Just like airplanes and birds. This is also the case with footballs that have been kicked out.

Generally speaking, the football we kick out will have some rotation. The force of the football's own rotation will offset the force exerted on it by the continuous airflow around it, so that the trajectory of the football flight is stable and controllable one by one. In order to make the football turn right or left, we need to make the football spin in different directions.

But what if the football does not spin?

The football itself is almost stationary in the air, relying solely on external force to send it forward, the air around it will rub against it to produce unbalanced forces, which will affect the flight of the football. If the force on the left has the upper hand, the football will shift to the right, otherwise if the force on the right has the upper hand, the football will shift to the left. And most of the time, because of the quality of the football itself and the influence of the earth's gravity, the football will fall down no matter it goes to the left or the right, but this kind of falling process is generally traceable, that is, a parabola. But because the forces around the football are not balanced, once the force on it has the upper hand, then the football will suddenly fall at a certain point, plus the pressure from other directions, it will also occur at the same time as the fall. Displacement in the horizontal direction.

In the eyes of the goalkeeper, this kind of ball is erratic when flying in the air, from left to right, and the entire flight process is almost always offset from the center position where it was originally located. In a more romantic way, this kind of movement is like falling leaves falling from the treetops. Because it is too light, it will not fall directly to the ground like a rock, but will constantly sway from side to side and fall down. When it hits the ground, that place may be far away from where it was originally...

The name "deciduous ball" vividly describes the characteristics and power of this ball.

Generally speaking, goalkeepers are not afraid of those shots with large arcs or powerful shots, because there is always a trace to follow, whether it is a banana ball that turns to the left or turns to the right. There is always a trajectory that can be seen through in advance, and then you can pounce in the direction of your own judgment. If you don’t pounce, either the ball is too fast, your reaction is slow, or the pounce is not far enough. The power is not big enough. In any case, it is always possible to save.

But when they face the deciduous ball, they will be very at a loss. Football is erratic. Even people who play football don't know where the football will go in the next second. This is really cheating. So they don't know where to go, what if they go to the right and the football goes to the left? Pounce the football to the left and to the right? Is it all right to stand still? Even worse, the football is almost flying to you to fight, your hands are already open to pounce the ball, but the football suddenly strays in any direction, and you can fly the goal from your side...

As for the falling leaf ball, the main purpose is to bypass the wall and the goalkeeper's hand. If the ordinary ball wants to bypass these two obstacles at the same time, the final result is often to fly straight out of the beam and directly hit the sky one by one. However, the deciduous ball was able to bypass both at the same time, and fell very close to the crossbeam. It could withstand the obstacles of the goalkeeper's fingers and the crossbeam, and finally fell into the goal.

Although the banana ball can also do this, if the distance is too close or too far, it will not work, and in order to make the football rotate to a sufficient arc, the strength and speed of the football must be sacrificed, and the goal will have sufficient time to pounce the ball.

The deciduous ball, even if it is 40 meters away from the goal, is equally threatening.

Near the goal? That would be better. Arrange for a teammate to squeeze in the crowd and suddenly withdraw when the free kick is kicked out, leaving a gap in the wall, and the free throw player blasts the football through the gap...

In general, the benefits of the deciduous ball come out of its surprise, as long as it can hold down the football and let it eventually fall within the range of the goal frame, there will be a high scoring rate.

This can be seen from the famous Brazilian free kick master Junior Junior. During his time in Lyon, he used the deciduous ball to break the opponent's goal many times, which shows the power of this free kick.

And the falling leaf ball has another advantage, that is, it can not only reflect the value on the free kick, but also can be transplanted into the long shot in sports. Generally speaking, players who are good at this kind of deciduous ball are good at long shots. Because the deciduous ball requires a lot of explosive kicking power-most people kick the deciduous ball with the force below the knee. Their kicking action is not as stretched as the banana ball represented by Beckham. Some "shrinkage." After kicking up with the lower jaw, chest and feet, the whole person is not leaning back like Beckham, but a "c" shape.

Because the force can only be exerted from below the knee, the explosive power of the legs is very demanding. Most of the players who play this kind of ball have first-class long-range shooting skills, such as Juninho, Pirlo, Cristiano, Ronaldo...

It just so happens that Chen Yingxiong's long-range shooting skills are great and very good, and his power is also great.

So they can kick the ball with the deciduous ball when shooting from a long distance. The football shot back will make it more difficult for the goalkeeper to prevent, and the chance of scoring is much greater.

Therefore, it is clear at a glance how terrifying Chen Yingxiong who has learned the leaf ball is-not only can he use a free kick to score goals in the game, he can also add the leaf ball factor to the long shot, making it more difficult for the goalkeeper to judge.

I'm afraid that when Chen Yingxiong raises his right leg to prepare for a long shot in the game, the best defense method is to stop him before he hits the football, whether it is a steal or a foul...

※※※

The Liverpool players also confirmed to the media that Chen Yingxiong worked hard to practice free kicks, which also confirmed the fact that Chen Yingxiong had mastered the free kick stunts from the side.

"Yes, he will practice free kicks every day after the end of training. At first it was only half an hour, and then it was increased to one hour. Every day, as long as the team has training, he will practice more, even if Xiaoyu does not. Stop him... he is simply the most diligent genius I have ever seen!"

"The two goals in this game, the hero has shot back many times in training, so we are not surprised..."

"The hero is really a genius! He has only practiced for a month and he was able to have such a performance. A free kick scored twice in a game. I simply have nothing to say but admire!"

Everyone expressed their admiration for Chen Yingxiong, and their words also scared the others to death. They just used the time after the training was over for additional training. After a month of training, did you have this ability? Then what a change is Chen Yingxiong's attitude! Even those free kick masters can't do it in just one month, right?

This is horrible!

Is he a human?

They didn't know that Chen Yingxiong had already started to practice free kicks in the dungeon, and had been training hard for more than a year, plus the factor of training effect bonus in the dungeon, and then he was able to become a teacher. Otherwise, ordinary people will suffer no matter what, even if they do not eat, drink or sleep for a month, they will not have this effect...

Of course, Chen Yingxiong would not be so stupid to tell them his shocking secrets.

Therefore, he could only watch the surprise and admiration of the media for him, and was secretly happy in his heart.

He has another gain through this game, and that is what he wants most.

The team has a "free kick practice" program in the training class. It used to be nothing like Chen Yingxiong. Now he is called to practice with Charlie and Adam, and Dalglish also announced in front of Charlie Adam. A decision was made: "In the future, the team will give the hero the penalty for direct free kicks in the game. Indirect free kicks will still be taken by you, Charlie."

Hero Chen glanced at Charlie Adam.

Adam nodded, did not express any objections, and his face was normal.

It seems that two goals in that game have completely defeated Charlie Adam.

Dalglish can also guess why Chen Yingxiong suddenly started contacting free kicks, because he will use the header as little as possible in the future. In this way, the scoring ability under his feet is particularly important. The free kick is another scoring weapon. If you want to make up for your lack of header goals, you must master the free kick.

He was actually surprised at how fast Chen Yingxiong learned to kick. But when I think that this kid is only twenty-three years old, he has already won so many honors, what is the value of mastering the fallen leaf ball in one month... (to be continued)
