football killer

Chapter 23 Conversation
At this time, Keegan had already admired George. To be honest, Keegan had never seen a talented player like George. Keegan was sure that George was just too young and lacked strength. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to beat George in the competition just now.

Thinking of this, Keegan felt extraordinary admiration for George's skills and sense of the ball, and unconsciously planned George as a pervert.

"Hehe, Mr. Kevin, you are really good, I lost." Seeing that his shot just now was not successful, George admitted defeat to Keegan indifferently.

"Hehe, no, my dear child, it is very difficult to know that you can do this. To know who I am, I am Keegan, Kevin Keegan. In the whole world of football, no one knows who I am Keegan. Your current skills are already very good. If you give you a little more time, I am afraid that even I will not be your opponent."

Facing George's admission of defeat, Keegan quickly said that the current Keegan will not despise George just because he is a child, as he did just now.

Listening to Keegan's words, George felt much better. If you know who Keegan is, he is the hero and idol of the whole of England. Even when Keegan was playing football, some people said that Keegan and Beckenbauer were the football leaders of this era. Hearing this news, the proud Keegan even left his beloved Liverpool and went to the West German Hamburger team to play against Beckenbauer there. This shows Keegan's arrogance and strength.

"Okay, dear George, you haven't told me why you practice free kicks here. You must know that your skills are already very good, no matter from all aspects, why do you still practice free kicks?"

Seeing George in a daze, Keegan said what he had always wanted to say.

"Hehe, I want to practice taking free kicks. Otherwise, when I encounter a team with strong defensive capabilities during the game, I am afraid that set kicks will be the best weapon to score goals."

Hearing Keegan's words, George shyly expressed his thoughts.Because George knew that for Keegan, he never disdained free kicks. It's not that Keegan's free kicks were not good. You must know that although Keegan's free kick skills are not top-notch, they are still very good.

It's just that Keegan's lethality in front of the goal is too strong. In every game, Keegan can score goals in sports games. If this is the case, why does Keegan need free kicks?

But Keegan didn't laugh at George, because Keegan has a deep understanding that when facing a strong defensive team, set kicks are definitely the most powerful weapon to score goals.

When Keegan moved to Hamburg, he had a deep understanding, especially when facing Bayern Munich at the time, facing Beckenbauer, a defensive master, although in one-on-one sports battles, forwards often have an advantage over defenders, but this does not mean that they can pass defenders every time, not to mention that the opponent is Beckenbauer, and there are other defenders to help.

To know who Beckenbauer is, he is the football emperor of Germany, not to mention Keegan, even Bobby Charlton, the symbol of English football, faced Beckenbauer's West German team in the 1966 World Cup final.

At that time, England's absolute killer was Charlton, but Beckenbauer's defense was not as sharp as before. In the end, he relied on his own experience to pass the ball to create opportunities for the team, which made England beat West Germany 4:2 and won the World Cup for the first time.

We must know that Charlton was an absolute striker at the time, but when facing Beckenbauer's defense, he had to change from a killer to an organizer, which shows Beckenbauer's defensive ability.

Although West Germany lost the championship at the beginning, in the battle between Charlton and Beckenbauer, Charlton lost to Beckenbauer. After all, Charlton is an offensive player.

"Well, your idea is really good. Set-pieces are really important, especially in today's situation where football is more and more defensive. Set-pieces are definitely a magic weapon to win. Yes, you have such a long-term vision. It is indeed very good."

Keegan thought for a while and expressed his own thoughts. It was precisely because Keegan was unbeatable in England, not only because of Keegan's own strong strength, but also because Liverpool was also very strong at the time and could give Keegan a lot of help. That's why Keegan was able to dominate the English league.

But when Keegan moved to Hamburg, the club was not as strong as Bayern Munich, and at the same time, Beckenbauer was consumed with him. Keegan really regretted not practicing free kicks well.

"I'm not very clear and familiar with free kicks. After all, I'm not very good at them, but I want to give you a suggestion, that is, get rid of those complicated thoughts in your mind. In fact, free kicks are very simple, don't think too much."

Keegan thought for a while and said, seeing George's puzzled face, Keegan realized that George is just a child after all.Thinking of this, Keegan smiled, stretched out his hand as a gesture, then put the football aside, and began to demonstrate a free kick to George.

Under George's concerned eyes, Keegan hit the goal with his right foot without using much force, and the football turned into a beautiful arc and flew into the upper left corner of the goal.

After scoring the goal, Keegan didn't say anything, just picked up a football from the side again and put it away, and shot again, but this time Keegan used his left foot. With Keegan's shot, the football flew into the goal like a cannonball.

Although the angle was not very tricky this time, the speed of the ball was very fast. George believed that even if the goalkeeper faced Keegan's shot, if he reacted a little slower, he might not be able to stop Keegan's shot.

"You see, free kicks are actually very simple. When you are about to take a free kick, the first thing you do is not to think about how to make the football go around the wall. What you need to do is to ignore the existence of the wall."

Seeing that George was still in a daze, Keegan interrupted George's contemplation and talked about his thoughts on free kicks.

Hearing Keegan's words, George quickly reacted, looked at Keegan and said nothing, because George knew that Keegan's words should not be so simple, there should be more to come.

If, George's guess is correct, Keegan looked at George but he didn't say anything, so he continued.

"In fact, free kicks are very simple. As long as you have certain shooting skills and ball feel, you can send the ball into the goal when taking a free kick. However, compared with those top free kick masters, the success rate is much lower."

"Mr. Kevin, why is the free kick master's success rate much higher? Could it be that they have some secret?" George asked curiously.

"Hehe, actually this is for sure, because every free kick master has his own unique free kick skills, that is, his own free throw habits. Although some look weird, the success rate is indeed very high. At the same time, every free kick master's free kick shooting rate within a certain range is often higher than other places, because when they practice free kicks, they often use this position. For example, when Beckenbauer directly faces the goal, whether it is 20 meters or 30 meters, it is his attack range. The reason is the same."

Listening to Keegan's words, George couldn't help but nodded. Although George didn't know free kicks very well, George also knew very well that his right foot shot was far more threatening than his left foot.

"Okay, actually, don't think too much about it. First of all, you have to ignore the existence of the human wall, and at the same time practice more. Over time, a set of free kicks will make you the most comfortable when you make free throws. At the same time, the free kick with the highest hit rate will come out naturally. This thing needs long-term practice, not just a day."

Keegan looked at George's intoxicated face, and couldn't help talking.

George also saw Keegan's serious expression, and knew that Keegan was reminding himself, so he nodded quickly to express his understanding.
