Football: the history of the first ball

Since it is difficult to break through Manchester City's defense with ground balls, Fabregas chose to pass the ball in the air, which is very wise.

After Henry received the ball from him, he ran with the ball all the way to the left. Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho made a sideways sliding tackle, but Henry dodged it with a deft jump.

But what followed was that Sun Jihai intercepted Henry and collided with him, causing Henry's speed to drop.

Kyle Walker rushed directly to the front and formed a double defense with Sun Jihai. In the chaos, Sun Jihai kicked the ball out of the boundary.

Henry was speechless.

He found that he was taking care of the opponent's three generals when dribbling the ball. No matter how strong he was, it was difficult to control the ball.

This is the role of Xiao Jian in establishing a network of rhythm.

If the opponent's forward chooses to break through from the side, at least two or three people will defend him with all their strength. This is called grid concentration.

This will of course consume a lot of physical energy from the defensive players, but don't forget that when the ball is in their hands and the main offense is focused, Manchester City players have sufficient physical energy, so it is worthwhile to expend this part of the defense.

Manchester City's purpose is to try to avoid allowing opponents to pass high balls and make mistakes, rather than walking on the ground.

Ground passes are more accurate than high-altitude balls. What Manchester City has to do is to use this rhythm to make the opponent lose control of ground passes and have no choice but to play air balls.

Manchester City's tactic is to allow everyone to quickly repair the defensive holes next to them, regardless of physical fitness, because physical energy is saved when attacking.

After Henry's good opportunity was intercepted, he was a little confused. He found that the game was getting more and more awkward.

Sure enough, the rhythm of the subsequent game was once again controlled by Manchester City. It was already very difficult for Arsenal to steal the ball.

[-]% of the ground ball is in Manchester City's hands.

In the 12th minute, Xiao Jian passed a header to Harland. Harland passed the ball to Foden. Foden hit the goal hard in the penalty area and the ball missed the crossbar.

In the 16th minute, Haaland passed the ball with his heel. De Bruyne directly passed the ball to Xiao Jian. Xiao Jian shot a blast, but was blocked by the desperate Adams' chest. Adams almost lost his breath and was completely on the court. It took 2 minutes of treatment before I stood up.

Xiao Jian actually didn't put much effort into this ball.

He wanted to shoot a curved ball into the dead center, but because of his slow speed, it was blocked by Adams' chest.

But now Manchester City has completely grasped the situation on the court, and their offense is like mercury pouring down the field, becoming smoother and smoother.

Arsenal was exhausted and in a very embarrassed state.

The Manchester City players played with ease and confidence. It felt like the game was going very smoothly and was very enjoyable.

This is why establishing the rhythm of the game is important.

In the 25th minute, after De Bruyne passed someone, Harland and Xiao Jian were in front of him.

Haaland quickly runs to the right and takes away two defenders.

This is Harland's role. With his involvement, Xiao Jian is relieved of a lot of pressure.

Xiao Jian swayed to the left and had already passed through a gap.

De Bruyne quickly passed the ball to Xiao Jian.

The ball is a bouncing half-high ball.

He was a little reluctant when he broke through just now, and his passing was a bit substandard.

Therefore, his delivery speed is very fast, and it is still a semi-high ball.

After the ball bounced off the ground, it bounced in front of Xiao Jian, ten centimeters above the ground.

Xiao Jian found that there was a rare opening for shooting in front of him.

Although he is 34 meters away from the goal, he has not used heavy artillery to hit the goal for a long time.

He took two fierce steps, rounded his thighs, and hit the football hard. This was his most powerful shot after reaching the master level.

"bang"

A loud bang echoed throughout the entire venue.

Suddenly, the football turned into an illusory white light and shot towards the goal with great speed.

Lehmann's pupils suddenly shrank, and the football quickly enlarged in his pupils.

He was surprised to find that the football didn't spin at all, and it was so fast that his brain had almost no time to react.

Just as his brain reacted to save the ball, the ball hit the upper left corner of the goal like a flying meteor.

The big screen on the field showed the speed was 260 kilometers per hour.

At such a terrifying speed, even if Lyman pounced, his bones would probably be broken.

The fans were ecstatic, as if the ball was played by them, showing their pride and domineering.

They roared, howled crazily, and huge amounts of hormones filled the brains of Manchester City fans.

And Xiao Jian also held his waist with both hands domineeringly, looked up to the sky and roared, expressing his inner ecstasy.

The master-level super strength can indeed fire super heavy artillery.

Xiao Jian felt that if De Bruyne passed the ball better just now, the ball speed would still have room to increase.

But 260 kilometers is enough, which is almost close to the speed limit that humans can reach when kicking a ball.

When the second goal was scored, the entire Arsenal team had no hope of winning.

The rest of the game got worse and worse.

After resisting Manchester City's bombing for more than ten consecutive minutes, Harland received a gift ball from Xiao Jian in the 401st minute after passing three people in a row and even the goalkeeper, allowing him to easily push the ball in. Empty door.

At this moment, he believed that Xiao Jian was sincerely helping him score three goals in this game.

The ball clearly passed the goalkeeper and Xiao Jian could have pushed it into the empty goal, but it was passed to him.

Harland is also grateful for Xiao Jian's overall layout.

Arsenal did not have a threatening shot throughout the first half.

Just when Manchester City was a little relaxed, Vieira made a long pass and the ball went straight into Manchester City's penalty area.

Bergkamp made a wonderful stop. While running quickly, he stopped the ball with the outside of his right foot. The ball moved quickly to the right and passed directly past Ruben Dias.

Then he hit an extremely precise curve ball with his right foot. The ball arced across Lisk's fingertips and into the dead center of the goal.

Stopping and shooting in one go, just right, without any sloppiness, he is worthy of being a golf course artist.

Arsenal saved face with Bergkamp's goal and ended the first half with two goals behind 1:3.

Bergkamp also used this ball to inject confidence into the Arsenal team.

Wenger walked to the locker room with a bruised waist. He wanted to use the 15-minute adjustment in the midfield to let Arsenal regain the ruthlessness of the Gunners. He must not let Manchester City take away the league championship easily.
