Chapter 354 Vigorous Free Kick

When Chen Yingxiong fell to the ground, the whistle sounded.The commentators already know what's going to happen next.

"Oh, oh - no! Lucio is going to end! His turning tackle didn't catch the ball, but tripped Chen Yingxiong..."

Sure enough, the referee ran over with a red card in his hand.

Lucio got up from the ground and saw the red card in the referee's hand.He froze for a moment, then rushed to the referee.

"I did not do it on purpose!"

That was the only excuse he could make.

Of course he knew that he was fouled, but he was lucky, thinking maybe it was a yellow card?
Who would have thought that the referee would impose the death penalty on him!

"It's a flop! He's a flop!"

Another central defender, his partner Samuel, roared at the referee.

The other Inter Milan players also rushed up, trying to influence the referee's decision and let him take back the red card in his hand.

But it was useless, whether it was a flop or not, the referee could see clearly.When Lucio stepped down, there was nothing in front of his eyes, and he saw the ball clearly.

Lucio didn't touch the football, he tripped Chen Yingxiong.And if he hadn't stumbled Chen Yingxiong, Chen Yingxiong would be facing the goalkeeper Julio Cesar directly in front of him.So this foul directly received a red card, and Lucio was not wronged.

He ran in front of Lucio, raised his arm, and held a red card high above it!
Lucio was sent off.

Mourinho was very angry with the referee's penalty on the sidelines. He roared at the fourth official: "This must be a flop! A flop!"

Seeing that the fourth official ignored him, he shouted again to the field: "Hey! You, you are a liar! Liar! Liar!!"

But besides swearing a few words to vent, he has no other way.

Lucio finally came down, he looked disgruntled, in Meazza's boos, he walked directly into the locker room passage.

Meazza's boos were not for Lucio, but for Chen Yingxiong and the referee.

Although the slow-motion replay has given Chen Yingxiong his innocence and proved that he was not a flop, the fans of the home team will not care so much.The fans are not sane, they only know that Chen Yingxiong's fall and the referee's red card made them lose one person, and the one missing is the most important central defender...

Mourinho couldn't care less about bickering with the fourth official and Chen Yingxiong, and he was calling the backup central defender Materazzi to warm up.

Lucio was sent off, and one of the two central defenders was missing. This vacancy must be filled, otherwise Naples will definitely seize this opportunity to attack.It would be bad if they let them score...

Materazzi put on a yellow vest and ran to the warm-up area.There won't be too much warm-up time for him, he must do it as soon as possible.

During this time, the central defender on the field was temporarily played by Muntari.

Mourinho has already shouted from the sidelines, waving his arms, and asked Muntari to play as a central defender.

But in fact, the problem Inter Milan is currently facing is not the central defender, but the defense of Naples' free kick in the frontcourt.

But no one took this issue seriously. After all, the free kick was 34 meters away from the goal, and the position was slightly off. Naples did not have a long-distance free kick expert who could hit the football from such a distance. One point, Mourinho is very clear.

※ ※ ※

This is a direct free kick, Hamsik and Cassano both stood in front of the football, and they discussed how to punish.

Direct shot?Neither of them had this plan.

It's too far away, and the hit rate is very low. It's really not worthwhile to waste an opportunity so easily.

Still have to pass the football, then pass it directly into the penalty area, let Chen Yingxiong and the captain compete for the top?Or short pass, reorganize the offense?

The opinions of the two people are somewhat inconsistent.

"Let's go in with a long pass." Hamsik thought it was a little more threatening.

"Not good, reorganize the attack." Cassano shook his head and vetoed.

Chen Yingxiong ran over: "Stop arguing, I'll do it!" He picked up the football and placed it on the free throw position.

The two were dumbfounded. "You come?"

Everyone knows that Chen Yingxiong doesn't know how to kick free kicks. Is he making trouble or what?
"Can you kick a free kick?" Cassano asked Chen Yingxiong.

"This kind of free kick...isn't it the same as our long-range shooting practice in training?" Chen Yingxiong pointed to the front and said.

Inter Milan's crowd is loose and slow, because it is 34 meters away from the goal, and the Inter Milan players don't think that anyone in the Naples team can directly threaten Cesar's goal, so they are very concerned about the goal. Things like the human wall are a bit absent-minded.

Their thoughts are the same as Hamsik and Cassano, they are all thinking about preventing Naples' second attack.

Cassano glanced at it, then smiled and clapped his hands: "You are right, hero! Just use your energy to train mid-range and long-range shots!"

Since he didn't have any hope of scoring, Hamsik thought it would be good to let Chen Yingxiong try a free kick, so he nodded in agreement.

"Shall we cover you?" Hamsik asked.

Chen Yingxiong shook his head, "No need."

※ ※ ※

"The hero put the football on the ground... Is he going to take this free kick?" The commentator was also a little surprised.

"Does anyone know he's good at taking free kicks?"

"I do know he has a great shot from long range...but there's a difference between a free kick and a long shot..."

Amidst the surprised voices of the commentators, Chen Yingxiong was ready to take the free kick. He set up the football and then backed away.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps... He took a big step back, about six or seven meters, and stood still.

Seeing him like this, Hamsik and Cassano stopped covering him. One ran to the penalty area, while the other stood aside as a spectator.

Inter Milan saw that Chen Yingxiong was going to take a free kick, and a new person was added to the wall-after all, they still knew Chen Yingxiong's long-range shot.

In this way, there are finally five people in the human wall.

"It seems that this free kick was really taken by Chen Yingxiong..."

Cassano walked away, Hamsik was farther away from football than Chen Yingxiong, and Chen Yingxiong's free kick was basically a certainty.

Julio Cesar stood in front of the goal, looking at the football in the distance, which looked very far away.

He doesn't know how far the distance is, but he knows that it is difficult to shoot directly from this position. What if the opponent really shoots directly?He jumped with confidence.With such a long distance, the goal becomes smaller for the opponent. It is not easy to hit within the range of the goal. It is necessary to pursue the angle to ensure the goal-because the shot is too straight, I can easily block it.He Cesar is not an unknown person. Now in Serie A, his state has surpassed Buffon and has become the number one goalkeeper in Serie A today.

Want to take such a long shot in front of yourself?
Angles must be pursued.

If you are looking for angles...then you may not know where the football will fly!
So, he wasn't really worried.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong came to take the free kick, which surprised the Naples coaching staff on the sidelines, because this kid had never practiced free kicks in training, and Mazari had not arranged for him to practice - because he felt that this person had no ambition.

Unexpectedly, he would have a whim today and wanted to try a free kick.

But this free kick is too far away, right?

More than 30 meters away from the goal.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong stood in front of the football, and Inter Milan's human wall was already set up.Because he had never kicked a free kick before, Naples didn't know how to cooperate with him.If other players who are good at far and strong free kicks take the penalty, one of his teammates must try to squeeze into the opponent's wall, and then withdraw suddenly when the ball is kicked out to make way for a passage-this It is often a specific tactic formed through long-term contact and running-in.

But Chen Yingxiong has no such support.

But he has his own way.

Just like what he said just now—isn’t it just a long shot from a further distance?No defense yet!
He has no pressure.

The referee blew the whistle in his mouth, and the crisp whistle sounded at the Meazza Stadium, and the scene became a little quieter.

All eyes were on Chen Yingxiong.

After hearing the booing, he leaned over and began to run forward.

One step, two steps, four steps, five steps... He took a few steps back at first, but now he sprints a few steps.In the last step, he stepped firmly on the left side of the football with his left foot, swung his right foot over, and hit the football hard with the back of his instep!

"Oh!"

The football soared into the air, carrying grass clippings, and flew towards Inter Milan's goal.

※ ※ ※

When Chen Yingxiong started his run-up, no one thought there was anything special about this free kick, but when the football was kicked out, everyone found something was wrong.

Because... this ball is so fast that it scares people to death!

In Julio Cesar's view, it was almost an instant, and football grew from a young age to a big one!
He jumped up reflexively and made a save, but the football had already flown into the goal from his side!
When the football hit the net hard, the commentators didn't even know it - how fast the ball was!

Of course it will be soon, because this is a thunderous blow from Chen Yingxiong with all his strength!
How hard is Chen Yingxiong?After he shot the football, his whole body was turned almost ninety degrees in the air by the power of his shot, and he was a little staggered when he landed, and he almost didn't stand still!

In almost just two seconds, the football went from being completely still to being wrapped in the net.

It is not easy for Cesar to make a save!
However, a loser is a loser, no matter how difficult it is, it cannot change the fact that the football flew into the goal he was guarding.

He fell to the ground and turned his head to look at the football in the goal in disbelief, as if he had just had a brief nightmare.

※ ※ ※

PS, this is definitely a historic moment worth remembering!Chen Yingxiong scored the first free kick in his career!

At this turning point in history, ask everyone for a monthly pass! !
