Coach Carter's words, "Let's go play with it," immediately made the staff on the scene uneasy.
Logically speaking, Coach Carter's protest was right.
How can you let the enemy head coach kick off the ball for your own team?
Isn't this just plain bullying?
This arrangement of St. Paul's Boys' School is very disrespectful to the opponent.
Lampard stood nearby and could only smile awkwardly.
It was already 3 o'clock and it was time for kick-off, but we were stuck on who should kick-off.
To be honest, Lampard doesn't care about kick-off, he just wants to enjoy being a coach.
But the staff at St. Paul's Boys' School felt that it was so shameful that they had gone to such great lengths to invite a star like Lampard, only to not even be able to kick off the ball.
The staff, referee, and fourth official of St. Paul's Boys' School all gathered around Coach Carter to persuade him:
"Coach Carter, don't be so serious."
"That's right, this isn't a professional league. What's the point of being so serious?"
"Besides, with your Bucks and Steel Horns, can you still score a goal from the first kick-off?"
"Ha ha……"
On the surface it was persuasion, but in reality it was sarcasm.
Coach Carter held his head high and sneered.
Of course he knew that this matter could not be changed by his protest.
After all, the opponent is a world-class football superstar, and even the referee and the English Football Association have to give face. Moreover, this is the home stadium of the Sao Paulo team, and the referee cannot suspend the game for a long time because of his protest.
So Lampard's kick-off will eventually happen.
But Coach Carter didn't want to be fooled by them.
Coach Carter's purpose is not to make the Delta River team and Lampard comfortable!
This is a football match and a war!
Make your enemies feel uncomfortable!
Even if he is a professional star!
Coach Carter waited for the staff to finish mocking, and then responded coldly: "This is a mistake in the arrangement of St. Paul's Boys' School! The fault is not ours! We didn't know before that you would arrange for the kicker to be your interim head coach. I don’t know that we will get the priority to kick off! Now, I don’t ask for anything else, I only ask for two points. First, St. Paul’s Boys’ School must publicly apologize to our Bucks and Steelhorns and admit that it was your poor arrangements! Secondly, , Lampard’s kick-off must be passed to our Bucks Steel Horns players, and after the kick-off, he must leave the field quickly and must not stay on the field, let alone re-enter the field.”
All the staff present frowned.
The second one is easier to deal with, but the key is that the first one is so cruel that the person in charge is asked to publicly apologize.
What is the status of St. Paul's Boys' School?
What is the status of the Bucks Steel Horns?
The staff of St. Paul's Boys' School discussed it and finally agreed.
After all, the current scene is already very embarrassing.
The game has also been delayed for a long time.
If this delay continues, Lampard will lose his face.
And if this matter gets too big, St. Paul's Boys' School will become a national joke.
As a result, the person in charge of the football program at St. Paul's Boys' School personally came forward and used a DJ microphone in front of all the students in the school to apologize to the Bucks and Steelhorns, admitting that they had made poor arrangements.
The players of the Delta River team felt like they had been slapped in the face!
What the hell, my school has apologized before the game even started...
The Delta River team was overwhelmed first in terms of momentum!
The students of St. Paul's Boys' School in the stands were also dissatisfied and booed the person in charge of their school.
And the players of the Bucks Steel Horns are all excited!
Coach Carter’s fighting ability is really impressive!
Coach Carter is so handsome! Coach Carter will not give in to the interests that should be fought for by the Bucks Steel Horns!
The Bucks Steel Horns players were all fired up.
Now, the most embarrassed person in the audience is Chelsea superstar Lampard.
He was supposed to enjoy the following and admiration, but now that this happened, it was really embarrassing.
A small amateur team like the Bucks and Steel Horns...are really disrespectful!
Lampard secretly thought: Come on, if you don't give me face, then I won't give you face either!
After the head of St. Paul's Boys School apologized, Coach Carter returned to the coaching bench with satisfaction and turned on the DV player in front of him.
The referee quickly returned to the court - the kick-off time has passed 8 minutes, but fortunately, we can finally get back on track.
The referee reached out to greet Lampard.
Lampard walked to the center circle and stood in front of the football with a stern expression.
beep--
The referee blew the opening whistle of this game!
In the top 16 knockout round of the National High School Competition, the match between the St. Paul Boys' School Delta River Valley team and the Southampton Private School Bucks Steelhorns officially started after a small episode!
Lampard raised his hand and pointed at Gu Ran who was in the backcourt on the left, "Hey - Chinese boy, this ball is for you! Catch it!"
Bang!
Lampard just kicked off the spot!
The football flew towards Gu Ran with a slight arc like a heavy artillery shell!
The players of the Bucks Steel Horns are all worried——
Anne in the visiting team's stands opened her mouth even more, wanting to shout but not daring to do so!
Although Annie doesn't understand football, she can still tell that this kick comes from a bad person!
Carter, who was on the coaching bench, jumped up from his chair in an instant, his face full of anger——
It stands to reason that the kick-off ceremony is just a show. The kick-off guest just gently pushes the ball to the players around him, but Lampard's kick was completely intentional!
Lampard's heavy pass was definitely filled with personal grudges!
This ball is powerful and heavy, with a certain arc. The ball is high enough and the distance is far enough.
Not to mention stopping to catch the ball, it is difficult to judge the landing point!
From a technical point of view, this kick is definitely a superstar-level kick.
Moreover, this was played without Lampard warming up and wearing slim trousers and leather shoes.
As soon as Lampard showed off his kick, the students at St. Paul's Boys' School cheered wildly!
This is a kick to get them back!
After delivering the ball, Lampard waved proudly, turned around and jogged off the field.
Seeing this high-altitude heavy cannon pass, Gu Ran couldn't help but take a deep breath——
Hey...
Are you serious about the magic lamp?
You really value me!
I'm still an amateur high school student, and you, a football superstar, really came up to me and attacked me!
fair enough……
Gu Ran's inner desire to win was at its peak!
bring it on! Just a football superstar!
Ordinarily, it is definitely not easy to stop Lampard's hostile and targeted goal.
But for Gu Ran, the problem is not as big as imagined!
When Gu Ran was playing field football in his previous life, he often encountered situations where his teammates were kicking wildly. There were many exaggerated high-altitude balls on the field, so Gu Ran was experienced in facing Lampard's high-altitude bombing passes.
To stop such a high-altitude ball, the first key point is to tighten your ankles. Stopping the ball is a process of exerting force on the ball with your feet. Only by tightening your ankles can you exert better force and allow your strength to offload the ball. the power of.
If the ankle is not tight and unloaded, the football will hit the foot and bounce away.
There will be the famous scene of stopping the ball ten meters away.
And it is easy to get injured during the process of stopping the ball.
Therefore, when stopping a high ball, tightening the ankle is the first point.
The second key point is to always observe the flight path of the ball, make accurate predictions of where it will land, and wait until the football falls below the waist before taking the ball.
When reaching the ball with your foot, the supporting leg of your left leg should be slightly bent, and your body should be relaxed and not stiff. In this way, after stopping the ball, you can quickly connect to the next action - such as starting acceleration.
When releasing the ball with your foot, your hips should be fully opened to the outside so that the arches of your feet are parallel.
If the crotch is not fully opened, then the arch of the foot is crooked. If the ball is played with a crooked arch of the foot, the ball will bounce in an oblique direction when the ball is stopped - this is equivalent to a failure to control the ball well.
At the moment of catching the ball, you must have a good time to release the force. The specific force-discharging action is like kicking a shuttlecock. The ankles must be tightened and the soles of the feet should be turned up, making movements similar to "end" and "pocket" .
This unloading action is very important. If you just use the arch of your foot to stop the ball without making any end movements, the football will bounce forward and you will not be able to get the unloading force.
Moreover, this kind of high-altitude ball must not be stopped with the heels and toes. Stopping the ball with the heels cannot complete the unloading force. Stopping the ball with the toes can easily miss the ball. It must be stopped with the continuous movement of the arch of the foot and the sole of the foot.
——Don’t look at it as just a small ball-stopping action. There are actually many details, and any detail cannot be done well.
Gu Ran's eyes were fixed on the flying heavy football. While judging the landing point, he gathered his thoughts and added one of the seven talent points to his strong attribute.
In an instant, Gu Ran felt that all the muscles in his body were suddenly tightened, and the hardness of his muscles increased by another dimension!
The strength attribute has been increased from the original 60 points to 61 points!
The improvement of the strength attribute can enhance basic confrontation, and at the same time, it can better exert muscle strength to avoid injuries.
After all, Lampard is a famous heavy artilleryman. If you catch his ball hard and add 1 point of strength attribute, you will be prepared!
When the football flew in front of him and was about to fall, Gu Ran adjusted his posture in small steps, then half-opened his body, slightly bent his left knee, turned sideways to catch the ball, raised his legs and opened his hips, and used the arch of his right foot to meet the ball. The landing point is at one end——
At this moment, everyone on the scene felt that the ball would most likely go out of bounds. Even if Gu Ran could touch the ball, it would bounce out of the boundary because the force of the ball was too great.
Not only the students at St. Paul's Boys' School thought so, but even head coach Carter felt that the ball was probably over.
The players on the court of the Delta River team even relaxed and were ready to serve the throw-in.
Bang!
The football made a muffled sound on Gu Ran's Messi sneakers!
Gu Ran's grasp of where the ball landed was extremely accurate!
The scene was filled with exclamations!
Lampard, who hadn't had time to run out of the stadium, couldn't help but frown slightly!
The next moment, after Gu Ran accurately caught the ball, he stepped back with his right foot, and the football was half a meter in front of him, creating an obvious spinning feeling!
No bounce!
Gu Ran not only touched the ball accurately, but also released the force perfectly, allowing the ball to land steadily in front of him.
The scene was filled with exclamations again! !
At this moment, everyone present was in disbelief!
The students at St. Paul's Boys' School thought this was a pass to regain the field, and Lampard's footwork was indeed awesome, but...
A left back from a garbage team like the Bucks could easily stop Lampard's heavy high-altitude bombing pass!
This, this, this is different from what’s in the script?
Lampard, did you get the wrong script? How could you give that Chinese guy a chance to show off his stopping skills?
Lampard himself is full of question marks!
Monkey Leichet... This young man can actually catch my specially-emphasized pass?
No wonder this kid dares to be crazy about me?
He seems to have a little bit of strength... Well, don't panic, it's just a small scene of stopping the ball.
The corners of Lampard's mouth curled up slightly, and Mourinho's confidence returned to his face.
Anne, who was in the visiting team's stands, had her eyes wide open behind her big sunglasses.
Although she didn't understand the ball, she clearly felt that the moment Gu Ran stopped the ball, her heart changed from suffocating to beating like crazy!
The blood all over her body was rushing, and she felt... hot!
Gu Ran's movements are so handsome, so chic, and so manly!
Yes, Annie doesn't understand the ball. She doesn't know how many detailed micro-manipulations the ball has undergone in just one or two seconds, but Annie knows what it means to be handsome!
Gu Ran is so handsome at this moment!
There was someone on the sidelines who was more excited than Annie!
Then Coach Carter!
Coach Carter's hands started to tremble when he saw Gu Ran stopping the ball.
What did he see? He seemed to have seen his former self!
Yes! I used to be so handsome...
Coach Carter was so excited that he almost shouted out what was in his heart!
After Gu Ran stopped the ball, he started directly at high speed without any delay, sprinting and dribbling along the left wing!
From the time Lampard passed the ball to him until he started, it only took two or three seconds!
The players of Delta River are still in shock and have not come back to their senses!
All the Bucks Steel Horns players on the court followed Gu Ran and rushed wildly!
That's right!
This is the Bucks Steelhorns' tactic!
As long as Gu Ran takes the ball and sprints forward, all three lines of the Bucks Steel Horns will press forward to support him!
Gu Ran is the true core of the Bucks Steel Horns team!
At this moment, Gu Ran had everything in front of him!
The Delta River team's 433 formation position makes their left wing almost empty!
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" The ace captain of the Delta River team shouted to his teammates, telling them to maintain their defensive formation and not lose their position, while quickly intercepting Gu Ran from the ribs in front of him!
I have to say that Butler is worthy of being trained by Chelsea's youth training echelon, and he is indeed experienced.
If the Delta River team panics at this time, and everyone concentrates on the left, then there will inevitably be a gap in the middle. Then Gu Ran makes an emergency stop and crosses the ball, and the Bucks and Steel Horns can directly penetrate the Delta River team's penalty area. .
Butler's on-court command is of a very high standard.
Moreover, Butler, as the ace captain of the Delta River team, is also very confident.
He confidently believed that if he intercepted him personally, he would definitely be able to deal with the black-haired Chinese boy opposite him.
Butler is tall and strong and has strong physical advantages.
In comparison, Gu Ran looked a little thin and thin.
But Butler did not use the brute force method. Instead, he rushed to the route that Gu Ran must pass in advance and blocked the key position.
This position is very good. It can not only squeeze the sideline space for Gu Ran's dribbling outward, but also prevent Gu Ran from cutting inward.
Gu Ran's situation immediately fell into a dangerous and desperate situation!
The Bucks Steel Horns players on the bench were all sweating for Gu Ran!
Gu Ran is the left back with the reverse foot, so it is a bit awkward to dribble the ball along the left sideline. Now that the sideline space is quickly compressed by Butler, the disadvantage of the reverse foot is even more obvious.
In this case, the best option is to pass it back to teammates for coordination.
Gu Ran raised his head in advance and quickly scanned the situation on the field——
The other players of the Bucks Steel Horns team were supporting each other in their respective positions. Simei made an exchange with him and stood behind him to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.
The two lines of defense of the Delta River team were also very neat and did not deform due to his attack on the left.
If the pass is passed back to Simei at this time, and then Simei passes it long to the center, it is a more stable method, at least he will not be blamed for conceding the ball.
But the golf businessman who had led the game for 12 years told Gu Ran - this ball cannot be handled like this!
When the defense line of the Delta River team is not stretched, even if it is passed back and then passed to the middle, the ball will not have any development.
There is another, better way to handle this.
That is...eat it raw!
Eat the opponent's ace Butler alive!
Not eating it raw with your body, but eating it raw with speed!
As long as he can get past Butler and then stab him diagonally from the left side of the ribs, there is a chance of a fatal blow!
Fuck him!
Gu Ran made a decision in an instant and drove the football forward more than ten meters with his big foot!
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ran accelerated and exploded instantly!
Sprinting and dribbling +2, combined with the explosive attribute of 66 points, Gu Ran was able to get ahead of Butler in one second!
Butler was shocked!
He thought that Gu Ran's running speed just now was Gu Ran's highest sprint speed!
But only now did he realize that this was Gu Ran's true sprint speed!
Gu Ran's speed just now was just a normal dribbling speed!
Butler quickly used his strong body to squeeze against Gu Ran!
The ball can't pass anyone, it's the essence of defense!
Butler naturally understands this very well!
However, Gu Ran had already anticipated Butler's intention!
Gu Ran avoided Butler and ran in an arc!
Gu Ran ran out of bounds and accelerated to overtake from the outside lane!
The famous black-haired Bell Rush scene is reproduced!
The frequency of Gu Ran's legs was extremely fast, so fast that it was almost blurry!
Gu Ran got rid of Butler by three lengths in three seconds!
Gu Ran got the ball he passed forward three seconds ago!
Passed!
There was another exclamation of disbelief at the scene! ! !
Butler... panicked!
What is this?
What the hell is this! ! !
Why is this Chinese guy so fast?
I can't even reach out and grab it!
Not only Butler panicked, but the entire Delta River team's defensive players panicked!
They originally thought that their ace captain could easily "teach" the Chinese boy who "dominated" the beautiful white girl, but unexpectedly, in just 3 seconds, their ace captain was overtaken by an outsider!
After passing Butler, Gu Ran was like a bayonet with a blood groove, inserted directly into the ribs of the Delta River team!
Gu Ran's mouth exploded!
Coach Carter on the sidelines shouted passionately: "Support! Support!"
Anne in the visiting team's stands covered her chest tightly with her hands, her palms covered with sweat from excitement!
Yes, she doesn’t understand ball.
She didn't know how exciting and exciting it was for Gu Ran to eat people alive.
But the speed with which Gu Ran sprinted past people just now made her whole body burn!
Gu Ran's frequency... was too fast! Fast and handsome! And domineering!
At this moment, most of the defensive players of the Delta River team are piled near the midfield to block the penetration of other Bucks Steel Horns players. Now there are only three defensive players in the left rib area!
The three players hurriedly abandoned their original positions and rushed forward to double-team Gu Ran!
This is a mistake!
Bucks Steel Horns players took the opportunity to penetrate into the penalty area!
Gu Ran, on the other hand, continued to speed up and cut inside with the ball!
Cutting inside is what Gu Ran is good at, and before the start of the game, Gu Ran got a +1 skill for cutting inside from the wing, so combined with his own ability, his level of cutting inside is equivalent to +1 Level 5!
Even if the +5 level does not reach the professional level, it definitely exceeds the semi-professional level and is close to the professional level!
While Gu Ran was cutting inside at high speed, his movements were as smooth and unrestrained as silk!
Three triangle river defenders formed a triangle encirclement, trying to intercept Gu Ran through area compression.
But before the encirclement was closed, Gu Ran just cut through!
One of the defensive players reached out to grab Gu Ran's jersey, but couldn't even grab the corner of it!
Gu Ran cut into the penalty area of the Delta River team in an instant!
Gu Ran's cut inside was equivalent to bypassing the Maginot Line of Defense!
The Delta River team's defensive formation is in complete disarray!
Sissy and Glider have penetrated into the small penalty area and deliberately reached for the ball.
The defenders of the Delta River team quickly guarded Sissy and Glider.
Gu Ran quickly observed the situation in the penalty area——
It's now a 4-on-6 situation in the penalty area.
The Bucks Steel Horns have 4 players and the Delta River team has 6 players.
The positions of Sissy and Glider are not good. They are each surrounded by a defender, and the passing channel is basically blocked. Even if they can find opportunities to pass the ball to them, they may not be able to catch it. Even if they can, they may not be able to catch it. Even if he can complete the shot, it is difficult to get rid of the defender who is closely marking him.
As for them reaching for the ball, it is just to disrupt the tactical containment of the opponent's defense - the Bucks Steel Horns' offensive tactics have never been centered around forwards and centers.
Minato was running towards the ribs on the left side of the penalty area, but he couldn't keep up. If he passed it to Minato, the rhythm of this wave of attacks would slow down. Once the rhythm slowed down, ace Butler would follow up to help defend. position, the penalty area is originally to use less to hit more. If the rhythm slows down again, there will be no chance.
Gu Ran was surrounded by two defenders, and there was a central defender in front of him to surround him.
Not to mention there is no passing channel, there is not even a channel to continue cutting inside and breaking forward!
It’s another desperate situation!
It doesn't matter……
Teammates are blocked and there are no passing channels.
Then I will create a passage myself!
