Football: the history of the first ball

In the 85th minute, Maradona suddenly burst out his terrible side again.

Although Manchester City's defense against him has reached an extremely tight level, and even when he started making small moves, he still staggered and passed an unpredictable ball.

Another super long pass, but the difference is that this pass travels on the ground.

It was extremely fast and penetrated Manchester City's defense with great accuracy, passing directly to Higuain three meters in front of him before slowing down.

In this way, Higuain didn't need to slow down. He successfully countered the offside directly and instantly opened up Manchester City's last line of defense six meters away.

Xiao Jian was anxious, what time had it been? He was still causing offside.

Manchester City's offside technique is very skillful, but facing the ball king's pass, causing offside is an extremely risky behavior.

But Xiao Jian can't blame his teammates.

This is because Higuain is parallel to Manchester City's final defense. As long as Maradona passes the ball and his teammates take a step forward before passing the ball, Higuain will definitely be offside.

But I didn't expect that Maradona could pass the ball so accurately when he was about to fall to the ground. In this stunned moment, the opponent successfully countered offside.

Just a little slower and the Manchester City defense made a fatal mistake.

Higuain dribbled the ball into Manchester City's penalty area like an arrow.

Manchester City conceded a goal at a time like this and their defensive mistakes were unforgivable.

Lisk had no choice but to attack again.

There are only the last 5 minutes left in the game.

Of course, Lisk knew how much of a blow losing this ball would have to Manchester City. Even with Xiao Jian, they would probably be unable to recover.

Therefore, when Higuain changed directions two meters away from him and wanted to break through him, Liske didn't hesitate at all. His long legs shoved away, and Higuain flew away with the ball.

This tackle was too fierce. Although it tackled the ball, it also tackled people.

The referee pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation and gave Lisk a yellow card to warn him of excessive action.

Xiao Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Keniu, his judgment was accurate. If he changed to a different goalkeeper, the ball would most likely be easily broken.

Because Higuain's technique of breaking through the goalkeeper and shooting into the empty goal is top-notch.

If a goal is scored at this time, Manchester City has little hope of coming back.

But there were still penalties, and Manchester City still had a glimmer of hope.

The penalty kick was still taken by Maradona.

The pressure is too much. If this ball is missed, it will be the sinner of the Naples team.

This pressure can only be borne by the ball king.

Maradona was also thinking about how to punish this ball.

He has already taken one penalty kick in this game.

The goal went in, but he also saw Lisk's extremely quick reaction.

If he misdirects the ball, even if he shoots fast, the ball is likely to be saved.

Usually, there will be more pressure on a player to take two penalty kicks in a row.

Even Maradona was under a lot of pressure.

How to penalty this ball?

In the end, he decided to take free throws based on Lisk's movement changes.

Taking a penalty kick is a battle of wits and courage between the player and the goalkeeper, and it is also a psychological confrontation.

The most advanced free throw is to choose the direction of the free throw based on the instantaneous movement of the goalkeeper. If the judgment is correct, the ball will go in easily.

If you make a wrong judgment, you fall into the goalkeeper's trap.

Fans from both sides were extremely nervous.

If this goal is scored, Naples will basically enter the semi-finals of the Champions League.

But if the penalty is missed, Manchester City will eliminate Naples with the advantage of more away goals.

The timid female fans were already covering their eyes.

But there are still some female fans who are reluctant to look at the stadium through their trembling fingers.

The Naples TV commentator's lips were trembling nervously: "God bless, our soccer champion Maradona will definitely score this penalty goal. We will definitely eliminate Manchester City. Maradona will be invincible..."

At this time, Li Sk suddenly moved.

He opened his long arms, swayed from side to side on the goal line, squatted slightly, and stared at Maradona with a fierce look in his eyes.

Maradona took a deep breath, placed the ball firmly on the penalty spot, picked it up again, kissed the football, placed it firmly on the penalty spot, and then began to retreat.

He took five steps back and stopped.

"beep--"

The referee's whistle blew.

Maradona suddenly started in the eyes of thousands of pairs of people. Like an unstoppable lion, he rushed towards the penalty kick.
