Chapter 31 Long-range defense! Facial block(1/2)
Sitting on the chair, Robbins drank the mineral water in his hand in one gulp, and then threw the empty water bottle aside casually.
Shaqiri happily accepted the yellow card from the referee and immediately got dressed and returned to the field.
On the other side of the Coventry team, all the players were silent.
They stood in their own half, silently waiting for the referee's kick-off whistle.
No one spoke, just looked at each other, and occasionally patted each other on the shoulders to express encouragement.
Even Billy at this time hid his big white teeth and stopped joking.
This game can't be won!
Moreover, it is very possible to lose this game by a big score.
This is the inner thought of all Coventry players currently.
Although Coventry's players were mentally prepared for the possibility of losing this game before the game.
But after losing and falling behind, only those on the field can truly experience the feeling of loss.
Shen smiled and looked at Robbins, who was sitting quietly on a chair by the court. He felt very sad at this time.
Although Robins asked Shen Xiao and the players to focus on learning and training in this game, Shen Xiao and his teammates did not really let themselves go!
They are still fighting hard for the team!
However, the gap in strength left Coventry's players powerless.
At this time, Shen Xiao was so eager for strength, and the sense of powerlessness in reality made him eager to become stronger!
"Beep!"
After signaling both sides to prepare, the referee blew the whistle to continue the game.
After the game started, the scene still repeated the situation just now.
The situation is still that Liverpool is the main attacker and Coventry is the main defender.
The Coventry team, which had no fighting spirit, was quickly deprived of the ball by Liverpool.
Suddenly there was a one-sided situation on the field.
Except for Liverpool's goalkeeper Adrian, all 21 people on the field were piled inside Coventry's half.
At this time, there is no difference in formation or tactics between the two sides.
Coventry set up a "bus" before the first half was over.
In order to break through Coventry's intensive defense, Liverpool's players in the front and backcourt came to the opponent's half.
Even Liverpool's defenders, led by Van Dijk, began to participate in the team's offense at this time.
The best way to break the defensive tactics of the bus, besides the incredible passing and control, is to shoot from long range!
Unable to break through Coventry's full defense, Van Dijk, as the captain of Liverpool, felt a little anxious.
When his teammates passed the ball back to him, Van Dijk directly raised his foot and kicked it vigorously in the direction of the goal!
Direct long shot!
The football flew towards the goal with great force!
The ball is moving very fast!
But the ball hit the goal in the right direction!
Maurosi didn't dare to be careless. When he saw the ball coming, he had to hit the long shot with both fists!
What a risk!
Maurosi shook his hands. Van Dijk's long-range shot was too powerful.
Although he was wearing goalkeeper gloves, Maurosi could still feel the pain.
At this time, the numbness in his hands failed to make Maurosi relax his vigilance!
Because the ball he hit did not roll away, Firmino, who was standing in the penalty area, got the ball in advance.
But there are too many people in the restricted area.
There are defensive players from Coventry and offensive players from Liverpool.
It's almost impossible to shoot from this place.
Firmino gave up his intention to shoot, looked behind him, and then pushed the ball back.
The ball immediately passed to the unguarded Fabinho.
Fabinho was standing near the arc of the penalty area at the moment, and he did not stop the ball after receiving Firmino's pass!
No hesitation!
The moment Fabinho caught the ball, he shot!
The distance is closer!
Faster!
More power!
The football was kicked out with great force by Fabinho, and in an instant it came to the gate guarded by Maurosi.
Maurosi broke into a cold sweat, but his reaction speed was extremely fast!
He still clenched his hands into fists and hit the ball outward.
But because the ball was too fast, the moment it was blocked by Maurosi's hands, the football bounced along the top of the goal crossbar.
Corner kick!
The referee pointed to the corner flag with his right hand.
At this time, Maurosi's hands were completely numb, and the pain made the expression on his face look a little distorted.
"Are you okay? Maurosi!"
Billy and Jones were standing in front of the goal and asked Maurosi with concern.
"I can still hold on! If I let them pull the ball over like this again, my hand may be destroyed!"
Maurosi shook his hands vigorously again, and then replied with a wry smile.
Minamino Takumi placed the ball in the corner kick circle, and then stepped on the ball lightly with his foot.
Liverpool handed this corner kick to Minano!
He stood at the corner flagpole and then raised his right hand to indicate that the corner kick could be taken.
At this time, the Coventry penalty area was crowded with people, and players from both sides were pushing each other.
"Beep!"
The whistle blew and Minamino Takumi kicked the ball out!
The ball drew a banana-shaped arc and quickly rushed into the penalty area.
Everyone in the penalty area suddenly became commotion, all scrambling for the spot of the corner kick.
The ball slowly flew closer, and everyone was ready to take off.
At this moment, a pair of gloved fists appeared!
195cm Maurosi, tall and long.
Before the ball fell, Maurosi pushed the ball out with his hands in advance.
The football was quickly cleared outside the penalty area.
Due to his short height, Shaqiri did not participate in the header competition in the penalty area.
He kept wandering outside the penalty area, and the ball cleared by Maurosi fell right at the feet of Shaqiri.
Shaqiri did not hesitate and continued to kick the ball vigorously outside the penalty area!
Another long shot!
At this time, Maurosi's reaction was obviously slower than before, and the continuous saves caught him off guard.
But he still tried hard to pounce in the direction of the football!
At this time, the football is still flying very fast!
But the football passed through Maurosi's fingertips and flew quickly towards the net behind him.
Maurosi has tried his best!
The goal he is guarding may be lost again.
Just as the football was about to enter the net, a big black face suddenly appeared at the goal.
Billy used his face to block the ball.
"My nose!"
