Chapter 412 Star Cards: Hidden Away
In the system store of the King of Football, there are many star ability cards related to free kicks.
A large proportion of them are actually Brazilian players.
The foundation of the football kingdom can be seen in this special football skill.
Brazilian stars such as Assuncao, Juninho, Ronaldinho, Zico and Roberto Carlos are all free kick masters. Su Dong is not surprised at all because they are all well-known. But even the King of Football Pele is a free kick master, which Su Dong finds a little fresh.
In his impression, Pele has always been famous for scoring goals, but he didn't expect that his free kick ability is also so strong.
This once again confirmed his thoughts.
If you want to be a football king, you must practice free kicks! But what surprised Su Dong the most was that there was a Brazilian goalkeeper named Ceni, whose free kick skills were not inferior to Pele.
Damn, that's a goalkeeper!
When in doubt, Su Dong asked Google. He immediately searched for this person, Seini. He was shocked when he searched.
It turns out that this 32-year-old goalkeeper is so popular in Brazilian football, not inferior to the new Pele Robinho. He has played for the Sao Paulo team for many years. He is also a Brazilian international, participated in the 2002 World Cup, and is now a member of the Brazilian national team.
In addition to his superb free kick skills, Ceni is also very good at scoring goals. His career goal tally has surpassed the 62 goals of Paraguayan legendary goalkeeper Chilavert, making him the goalkeeper with the most goals in history.
It is truly the heart of the earth and the sea, no, it should be called the heart of the gate and the front.
I have to say that Brazilians' achievements in football are truly amazing.
Take free kicks for example, they have so many free kick experts that it feels like a luxury.
On the other hand, in Europe, there are many free kick experts, but compared with Brazil, they are far inferior.
Beckham and Mihajlovic are among the few who can stand firm in front of Brazilian players. Even Albertini, Su Dong's "mentor", has great attainments in falling leaf shots, but compared with the top free kick masters of Brazil, there is still a big gap.
Just like Ronaldinho, in recent days, in two consecutive games, Su Dong saw him take three direct free kicks and score. The arc and the changes were truly amazing.
Albertini's falling leaf ball is indeed beautiful, but in terms of changes, it is indeed not as weird as Ronaldinho's.
Not to mention, above Ronaldinho, there is a monster like Juninho.
According to the classification given by the system, free kick ability can be roughly divided into two parts, namely assists and scoring.
This is not difficult to understand.
Just like Barcelona, many indirect free kicks are taken by Xavi, because Xavi's free kick assist ability is very strong, but his free kick direct scoring ability is not strong, so Ronaldinho takes the direct free kick.
Real Madrid's Beckham is recognized worldwide as a free kick master, but in the systematic ability breakdown, Beckham's free kick scoring ability is only at the [Soccer Player] level, which is roughly world-class.
Why do people think Beckham is a free kick master? Because his free kick assist ability, especially his free kick passing ability from the wing, is at the "King of Football" level.
In other words, from ancient times to the present, no one's ability to cross the ball from the wing can be as good as Beckham.
Not only his indirect free kicks, but also his crosses from the wing are at the [King of Football] level, and his long shots are also at the [Soccer Player] level.
It can be seen that Beckham's most powerful free kick is the cross from the flanks.
What surprised Su Dong was that Ronaldinho's ability to score from direct free kicks was as high as [Ball Three+], which means that he was very close to the [King of Football] level, which was an incredible achievement.
Damn, the God of Football is too biased towards the Brazilians!
Su Dong smiled bitterly and helplessly. He remembered a sentence he had heard before: Don't compete with Brazilians in free kicks.
But now, he seems to be secretly competing with Ronaldinho in free kicks!
…
As a Virgo man who even he himself thinks is hopeless and has a perfectionist complex, Su Dong has a wish, which is to train himself to the top level in all other data except defense.
For example, physical confrontation.
So far, Su Dong has met very few people who are stronger than him physically. Drogba can barely keep up with him. Vieri was at the "King of Football" level in physical confrontation when he was at his peak, but not now.
On the contrary, Lucio of Bayern Munich is a [Ball Three+] in physical confrontation.
Before, Su Dong used his [Ball Warrior]-level body to compete with his [Ball Three] top-level body, so he was naturally at a disadvantage. But now he has also upgraded to [Ball Three]. As long as he is given some more time and slowly improves his body, when he meets Lucio again, Su Dong will make him suffer.
Whenever Su Dong thought about the chance to badly beat up that Brazilian giant, he couldn't help but get excited.
Free kick technique is a very special technique on the football field. It seems to exist beyond the technical and tactical aspects of football games. This makes it very detached and yet very embarrassing, because no head coach will design tactics specifically for free kicks.
The reason is very simple. No matter how strong a free kick player is, he cannot kick a free kick as a penalty kick.
The low goal efficiency has become the biggest problem in scoring from free kicks.
Because of this, free kick experts do not necessarily have a high status and weight on the football field, such as Juninho.
Beckham is a special case, but the reason why he became a world-class superstar is not free kicks, nor just his commercial value, but more importantly because of his crosses from the wing and free kick assists.
The football industry is different from other industries. You can’t make it in the professional football world just by being handsome.
Throughout history, has there ever been a world-class football star who was handsome, played football badly, and made his living purely by his looks? Beckham had only one trick, but with this one trick, he directly trained to the level of "King of Football", becoming the first person in history, which can also be considered his ability.
Ronaldinho is currently the top superstar who has mastered free kicks the best, and he is also the one that Su Dong is trying hard to catch up with.
…
After fully understanding the situation, Su Dong decided to exchange for another star ability card.
He set his sights on Brazilian players.
Roberto Carlos' free kick is like Shaolin's powerful Vajra Fist, which is very consistent with Su Dong's image, temperament and preferences. He likes this kind of momentum of "you know where I hit, but you just can't do anything to me", how domineering!
However, Carlos' free kick is too strong, lacks stability and is relatively inefficient.
Unlike Carlos, Ronaldinho's free kick is like the Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Dali Duan Clan. Each finger can emit invisible sword energy, with changes that are hard to guard against and completely unpredictable. The key is two words: spirituality! If Su Dong can barely learn Carlos's set, then he can't learn Ronaldinho's spirituality. Even if he learns it, it's just imitating others.
Why?
Because he doesn't have the same mentality as Ronaldinho.
A taciturn Virgo man like Su Dong can never play the kind of spirit of Ronaldinho, so why should he try to learn it?
Junior Juninho is suitable for him.
This Brazilian player has combined Carlos's toughness with Ronaldinho's agility, and he has performed very stably. It is almost rare to see that the free kicks he takes are of low quality, as they are generally above average.
Juninho's free kick is like the Beggar Gang's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, which has the fierceness and domineering power of "A Dragon Will Regret If It Comes to Its Rest", the mysterious agility of "A Dragon Fighting in the Wild", and the strange changes of "A Dragon Kept Hiding in the Wild". It can be said to be a combination of hardness and softness, and can be controlled freely.
Su Dong found Juninho's star ability card for scoring directly from free kicks - hidden deep.
It is not difficult to imagine from the name that Juninho's direct free kick is like a dragon that can only be seen from the head but not the tail. You can only see the kick coming out, but you don't know where it will go into the goal.
After figuring it out, Su Dong made up his mind and decided to redeem this star ability card immediately.
He must practice his free kicks!
“Exchange successful!”
"Congratulations on obtaining the Star Ability Card [Hidden Abilities]."

…………
At the beginning of this season, Barcelona's schedule is very tight.
Starting from mid-August, there will be two Spanish Super Cups, followed by the European Super Cup, and the first round of La Liga at the end of August.
Needless to say, as we enter September, just like in previous years, after two weeks of national team match days, there will be two matches in a row this week.
With such a tight schedule, how to make effective rotations is a test for any team.
On the evening of August 20th, the second round of the Super Cup.
Barcelona will host Real Betis at home.
Just fourteen minutes into the game, Su Dong scored the first goal for Barcelona.
After he intercepted the ball from the opponent's full-back Meli in the frontcourt, he ran more than 40 meters, used the small pendulum trick again, shook off goalkeeper Contreras, and scored a goal for Barcelona.
After that, Barcelona firmly controlled the game.
In the 24th minute, Ronaldinho was tripped while dribbling in the frontcourt. The Brazilian took another free kick and scored again! Ronaldinho scored directly from free kicks in three consecutive games. His performance was outstanding.
Then in the 30th minute, Real Betis took advantage of Sylvinho's defensive mistake and scored a goal.
But in the subsequent games, Barcelona had at least three controversial penalty calls, but the referee did not blow the whistle, which made the home fans very dissatisfied.
Fortunately, we still defeated Real Betis 2-1 in the end.
With a total score of 5-1, Barcelona successfully won the Spanish Super Cup.
The Carranza Cup is just a warm-up cup match, and the championship is not very valuable, but the Spanish Super Cup is a real official competition. Being able to win this championship before the season is undoubtedly an encouragement for Barcelona's journey in the new season.
Not only that, after playing the Spanish Super Cup, everyone has set their sights on the European Super Cup.
