Chapter 771 The So-Called Fallen Leaf Ball
Chen Yingxiong's two goals became the focus of media discussion after the game.

On the one hand, Chen Yingxiong recovered and scored twice, which is news in itself.

On the other hand, both of his goals were scored from 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 is good at kicking free kicks.No matter which team he is in, free kicks are nothing to him.

But under such circumstances, he scored two free kicks in one game.

Chen Yingxiong, who broke the scoring drought after the game, also accepted the interviews with the reporters again. Regarding the two goals, he said: "...Yes, I scored two free kicks, very beautiful, right? Of course I will kick It’s a free kick. It’s nothing surprising. Isn’t a free kick just a long-range shot without interference? There is a wall? It doesn’t matter, just blast away! Hahaha! I think you will often see my free kick goals in the future of!"

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

In the TV program, the news announcer was broadcasting the news of the game that ended in the afternoon.

It is not uncommon for Chen Yingxiong to score two goals in a game, he often does this kind of thing.But it is very rare to score two free kicks in one game, not to mention that the two free kicks scored in one game are all... fallen leaves!

The deciduous ball was originally invented by the famous Brazilian star Didi, but Didi's era is too far away from now.Therefore, many people think that the deciduous ball was invented by the Italian star Albertini. In fact, he is the one who carried forward the deciduous ball.

Among the currently active players, those who play deciduous ball better are Pirlo, Juninho Jr. and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is a little special. According to the nickname given to his free kick by the media, it should be called "elevator ball", but his free kick is of the deciduous ball lineage.Ronaldo himself said that when he practiced free kicks, he referred to a lot of the deciduous kicks played by Juninho Jr.

In fact, "falling leaf ball" is just a general term. If you classify carefully, there are many "falling leaf balls".Everyone who is good at this kind of free kick has his own characteristics and is completely different from everyone else.

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

This is mainly done in two ways, one is to rotate forward sharply, and the other is not to rotate at all.

This sounds contradictory. Rotation and non-rotation are basically two kinds of actions. How can it be possible to achieve the same result?
But in fact it is.If you want the football to spin and fall, you have to pull up when you touch the ball, so that the football will continue to spin forward during the flight, friction with the air, and then reach the goal. Sometimes because of the force generated by friction, the flight trajectory is changed and it falls down.

This ball drop is done primarily through spin.

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

It is a natural phenomenon that anything flying in the air will generate air turbulence around itself.Just like airplanes, birds.This is also the case with footballs that are kicked out.

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

But what would happen if the football didn't spin?
The football itself is almost stationary in the air, and it relies entirely on external forces to send it forward, and 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 side prevails, the football will deflect to the right, whereas if the force on the right prevails, the football will deflect to the left.Most of the time, due to the influence of the quality of the football itself and the gravity of the earth, the football will fall no matter whether it goes left or right, but this falling process is generally traceable, which is a parabola.However, because the forces around the football are unbalanced, once the force above it prevails, the football will suddenly fall at a certain point, coupled with the pressure from other directions, it will also produce a drop while falling. displacement in the horizontal direction.

In the eyes of the goalkeeper, this kind of ball is erratic when flying in the air, going left and right, and the whole flight process is almost always shifting from its original center position.To put it in a more romantic way, this kind of movement is like falling leaves from the treetops. Because they are too light, they will not fall directly to the ground like a stone, but will continue to swing from side to side and fall back and forth.When it lands, that place may be far away from its original starting point...

The name "fallen leaf ball" vividly describes the characteristics and power of this kind of ball.

Generally speaking, the goalkeeper is not afraid of those shots with a large arc or powerful shots, because there are always traces to follow. Whether it is a banana ball that spins left or right, there is always a trajectory. , can be seen through in advance, and then you can pounce in the direction you judge. If you don’t pounce, it’s either because the speed of the ball is too fast and your reaction is slow, or the pounce is not far enough and the strength is not strong enough.In any case, there is always the possibility of a save.

But when they face the fallen leaf ball, they will be at a loss - football is erratic, and even the person who kicks the football does not know which side the football will deflect in the next second, which is really cheating.So they don't know where to jump at all. What if they jump to the right and the football goes to the left?Flop to the left, does the football deflect to the right?Is it okay to just stand still?What's worse, the football is about to fly in front of you, your hand is already open to catch the ball, but the football suddenly deflects in any direction, and it can fly past you and into the goal...

As for the falling leaf ball, the main purpose is to bypass the wall and the goalkeeper's hand.Ordinary balls, if they want to circumvent these two obstacles at the same time, the final result is often to fly straight out of the crossbar and straight into the sky - directly hit into the air.But the deciduous ball was able to bypass both of them at the same time, and fell very close to the crossbar, barely avoiding the goalkeeper's fingers and the crossbar, and finally fell into the goal.

Although the banana ball can also do this, but if the distance is too close or too far, it will not work, and in order to make the football rotate enough arcs, the strength and speed of the football must be sacrificed, and the goalkeeper will have enough time to catch the ball.

And the fallen leaf ball is extremely threatening even if it is 40 meters away from the goal.

Close to the goal?Even better, arrange a teammate to huddle in the crowd and withdraw suddenly when the free kick is kicked out, leaving a gap in the wall, and the penalty shooter blasts the football through the gap...

Generally speaking, the advantage of the falling leaf ball is that it is unexpected. As long as it can hold down the football and let it finally fall within the range of the goal frame, it will have a high scoring rate.

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

And the deciduous ball has another advantage, that is, it can not only reflect the value on free kicks, but also can be transplanted into long-range shots in sports.Generally speaking, players who are good at this kind of deciduous ball are good at long shots.Because deciduous ball requires a lot of kicking power - most people kick the deciduous ball with strength below the knees, and their kicking movements are not as stretched as the banana ball represented by Beckham. Some "shrink", the jaw is lowered, the chest is raised and the feet are raised. After kicking, the whole person does not lean back like Beckham, but a "C" shape.

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

Coincidentally, Chen Yingxiong's long-range shooting skills are also very good, and his strength is also great.

Therefore, they can kick the ball with the footwork of kicking the deciduous ball when shooting from a long distance. The football shot in this way will make it more difficult for the goalkeeper to guard against, and the chance of scoring a goal will be much higher.

Therefore, it is clear at a glance how terrifying Chen Yingxiong, who has learned the deciduous ball, can not only use free kicks to score goals in the game, but he can also add deciduous ball factors to long-range shots, making it more difficult for goalkeepers to judge.

I'm afraid that when Chen Yingxiong swings his right leg to take a long shot in the future, the best way to defend is to stop him before he hits the football, whether it's a steal or a foul...

※ ※ ※

The Liverpool players also confirmed to the media that Chen Yingxiong practiced hard for free kicks, which also confirmed the fact that Chen Yingxiong has mastered the free kick stunt from the side.

"Yes, he will practice extra free kicks after training every day. 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 extra, even Xiaoyu will not Stop him...he's the hardest working genius I've ever seen!"

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

"The hero is really a genius! He only practiced for a month, and he was able to perform like this. He scored twice with a free kick in a game. I simply have nothing else to say except admiration!"

Everyone expressed their admiration for Chen Yingxiong, and their words also scared the others to death—just use the time after the training to carry out additional training. After practicing for a month, do you have this ability?How perverted Chen Yingxiong must be!Even those free-kick masters can't do it in just one month, can they?

This is horrible!

Is he still human?
They didn't know that Chen Yingxiong had already started practicing free kicks in the dungeon, and he had practiced hard for more than a year. In addition, the dungeon also had a training effect bonus factor, so he was able to make his debut.Otherwise, no matter how hard an ordinary person works, even if they practice for a month without eating, drinking or sleeping, there will be no such effect...

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

So he could only look at the media's surprise and admiration for him, 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" project in the training session. He used to have no role for Chen Yingxiong. Now he is called to practice with Charlie Adam and the others, and Dalglish is still in front of Charlie Adam. A decision was announced: "From now on, the team will take the direct free kicks in the game to the hero. The indirect free kicks should still be taken by Charlie."

Chen Yingxiong glanced at Charlie Adam.

Adam nodded without expressing any objection, and his expression was normal.

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

Dalglish can somewhat guess why Chen Yingxiong suddenly started contacting free kicks, because he will try to use headers as little as possible in the future, so the ability to score with his feet is particularly important.Free kicks are another scoring tool. If you want to make up for your lack of header goals, you must master free kicks.

He was actually surprised at how quickly Chen Yingxiong learned free kicks.But when I think about this kid who is only 23 years old and has already won so many honors, what is it to master the falling leaf ball for a month...
