Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 360 An Opponent Worth Provoking

The initial temptation didn't last long. In the 5th minute, the first shot of the game came out, from Real Madrid's head star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Griezmann's breakthrough with the ball from the side was destroyed, Monreal threw the ball from the sideline, and Ramos suddenly rushed out from behind to squeeze Griezmann with a shake of his head and pass the ball to Kroos.

Kroos is known as the No. 90 midfielder born in the [-]s. This German midfielder played for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga last season. Because the German overlord could not meet the annual salary demand of this midfielder, he finally moved to Real Madrid at a low price.

Under normal circumstances, players will start negotiating a new contract with two years remaining on their contract. If they perform well, they will immediately negotiate a contract even after one year has elapsed. Let’s say Li Shou. According to Li Shou’s performance this season, under normal circumstances, a salary increase will definitely be required.

If three years pass, the club will become very passive, because a player's contract is usually limited to 4, of course, this is the usual situation, and there are exceptions.

Let's say Kroos' new contract with Real Madrid has a duration of 6 years and an annual salary of 680 million euros.

On the field, Kroos, who received a pass from Ramos, immediately sent a long pass to find Bell. Bell wanted to come by himself, but soon he gave up this idea and chose to pass the ball to Ronaldo.

The actual cost of Bell's transfer to Real Madrid was higher than that of Ronaldo, but because he was afraid that Ronaldo would be unhappy, Real Madrid abruptly changed the transfer fee, and Bell who came from Tottenham could only help Ronaldo in Real Madrid.

Bell's choice is a bit confusing. The Welsh winger obviously never stopped saying that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and Li Shou is a typical example.

After Ronaldo raised his hand to signal, Bell made a diagonal pass to send the ball to Ronaldo's feet. The head of Real Madrid kept pulling his right foot horizontally, trying to open his body and create conditions for himself to shoot.

Ronaldo did it too. Mertesacker's speed was too slow. If it wasn't for Chambers approaching from the side, Ronaldo would probably still charge forward, but when Chambers approached, Ronaldo shot directly.

If Ronaldo chooses to continue to charge forward, then Li Shou will attack, but Ronaldo didn't, so neither did Li Shou. This is also doomed that Ronaldo's shot will not have any results.

With Li Shou's current reaction and explosive power, unless there is a way to lure him away from the goal, a normal shot will not be able to break through Li Shou's ten fingers.

"Leap for life~~ oh oh~~~ Li actually caught the ball directly" Normally, Li Shou chose to catch the ball because he didn't want to give the opponent a second chance to attack, and he would not be too risky, but Ronaldo's shot, Li Shou chose to catch it directly was a bit risky, because Ronaldo's shot was quite powerful and the angle was not bad.

"Based on what I know about Li, he is the guy who is provoking the shot." After nearly half a season, Paul Merson, who has been commentating Arsenal games, already knows Li Shou very well.

In fact, Li Shou was really provoking Ronaldo. After catching the ball, Li Shou glanced at Ronaldo. This glance was full of provocation and fighting spirit.

When was the last time Li Shou provoked someone like this?In the first round between Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, Li Shou faced Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the first time.

Li Shou rarely took the initiative to provoke anyone. It was not because he was so calm. Although Li Shou always gave people the impression that he was a relatively restrained and relatively calm person, it was because he had not met anyone worthy of his provocation.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the first, Ronaldo in front of him is the second, and maybe Messi will be the third when he faces Barcelona in the future.

Moreover, if Li Shou wants to hit the golden goal, Ronaldo must beat him. As a goalkeeper, the best way to beat the opponent is to defuse all the opponent's shots.

Li Shou's provocation against Ronaldo will naturally be seen by Ronaldo, so at this moment, Ronaldo already knows that Li Shou is provoking himself, and the fighting spirit in Ronaldo's eyes is no less than that of Li Shou. ,

Just as Li Shou thought, he must defeat Ronaldo if he wants to hit the golden ball, and if Ronaldo wants to defend the title, he must also defeat Li Shou who stands in front of him.

Only by defeating Li Shou and Real Madrid can they go one step further, attack the championship, and have the possibility of tying Messi's number of golden goals.

Li Shou kicked the goal kick, and the ball crossed the center line and flew into Real Madrid's half. Giroud retreated to compete with Ramos for the top. Ramos was much taller than Giroud, but Ramos was better than Giroud in terms of jumping.

This time Ramos suppressed Giroud with his own bounce, the ball came to Real Madrid's feet again, and Ramos sent the ball to Kroos again.

But this time Kroos did not instigate an attack, because Coquelin had rushed up to entangle Kroos, and Kroos, who didn't want to lose the ball, could only pass the ball to Rodriguez.

After receiving the pass, Rodriguez accelerated past Chambers. For his former teammate and current opponent, since he touched it, how could he not express it.

However, Rodriguez's idea failed to come true, because Ronaldo had already raised his hand to ask for the ball at the previous point, and now Ronaldo is in full swing, and no one in the Real Madrid team can defy him.

So after seeing Ronaldo raising his hand, Rodriguez could only send the ball to Ronaldo's feet, but this time Real Madrid is not facing Mertesacker, but the more flexible Koscielny.

But this still failed to stop the Portuguese. This time Ronaldo did not rely on his own speed, but on the skills at his feet. Although Ronaldo has matured and reduced his breakthrough with the ball, it does not mean that he has lost this ability.

With a fake spike and a change of direction, Ronaldo crossed Koscielny and rushed into Arsenal's penalty area. At the same time, Li Shou, who was standing in front of the goal, also rushed out.

But Ronaldo is Ronaldo. When breaking through Koscielny, Ronaldo kept watching Li Shou out of the corner of his eye, which means that Ronaldo knew that Li Shou had left the goal.

"Shoot~~~Shoot~~~Cristiano Ronaldo, he knew that the Arsenal goalkeeper had left the goal, and he shot unexpectedly." After dunking Koscielny, Ronaldo immediately kicked and shot.

By surprise?I'm afraid it was too early. When the ball drew a parabola towards Li Shou's header and wanted to fly over to the goal, a hand that shouldn't have appeared blocked the ball.

"Pull the green onion on the dry land~~ Li Shou blocked Ronaldo's kick~~~ He seems to have known that Ronaldo would shoot like this." Zhan Jun, who was originally worried, jumped up excitedly when he saw this save.

Li Shou didn't know, because Ronaldo could have many choices. The reason why Li Shou was able to save the ball was his prediction.

"A perfect combination of anticipation, reaction, and explosive power. Li caught the ball again~~~No~~~It should be taken off."
