Chapter 048 Prove yourself with a goal! (2)
Anyone who has seen Wang Li play football will be shocked by his graceful and light movements, and the title of "Dancing Master on the Field" is also a recognition of Wang Li's football movements by fans. Even many celebrities in the entertainment industry want to visit Wang Li, wanting to know how he practiced his movements and what would happen if he were asked to dance?
However, they would never have imagined that Wang Li could not dance at all. The natural swaying of his body after running was a habit he formed from practicing the Xiaoyao School's body movements in his previous life.
Because Wang Li's movements look so graceful, players who play against Wang Li for the first time will definitely think that he is just "fancy moves", but they are totally wrong!
In terms of pure strength, the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect are no worse than real martial artists. Although the skills of Xiaoyao Sect are light and agile, their inner strength is extremely overbearing. The outer lightness is only used to neutralize the inner overbearing. This is in line with the Taoist theory of balance.
It was because the Leeds United players looked down on Wang Li that he was able to easily squeeze past the Leeds United defenders at the start of the game. If the Leeds United players knew Wang Li's strength in all aspects, he would never score so easily.
At Elland Road, just 10 minutes into the match, Leeds United players were humiliated by a 16-year-old kid. How could they bear such ridicule? After the second kick-off, in order to win back face in front of more than 40,000 fans at Elland Road, all Leeds United players were furious. Under the command of captain Alan Smith, they strengthened their passing and began to advance towards Wolverhampton's goal in a positional battle.
Leeds United is a fearless young guard, and they will not be cowardly just because of this goal. They are all holding back their anger and must want to win the game back and teach this kid a lesson, and never let him be so arrogant at Aland Road!
However, Leeds United still strengthened their defense against Wang Li. As soon as Wang Li entered the penalty area, no matter if he had the ball or not, two Leeds United players would directly defend him. This greatly increased the pressure on Wang Li, and his cooperation with his teammates was often intercepted.
Although Leeds United is stronger than Wolverhampton in overall strength, Wolverhampton is really at a disadvantage in this positional battle. The goal just now obviously inspired the morale of the Wolverhampton players. What about the Young Guards? We are still ahead. At this time, the fighting spirit of both sides is very high, which makes the game more intense.
In the 19th minute, Leeds United attacked Wolverhampton's left. McPhail dribbled forward quickly and was intercepted by Newton. After he tried to shake off Newton and failed, he had no choice but to pass the ball back to Kelly who was nearby, but the ball was intercepted by Newton before it was passed.
After Newton got the ball, he took two steps back, letting McPhail's counter-attack pass, and then kicked the ball forward. Wang Li and two Leeds players were near the landing point. After the ball fell, he directly picked it up and stuck it with his head in the air. After landing, he struggled to shake off the two entangled players, and then lowered his head to stop the ball at his feet. This action attracted a burst of surprise from the audience! Many of them have seen Wang Li's "Dream Dance" video and know that he has excellent footwork, but it was not until now that they knew that his headwork is also amazing!
Wang Like didn't care how shocking his stop just now was. He dribbled the ball towards the Leeds United goal. Seeing Matteo coming forward to intercept, he passed the ball back and forth with his left and right feet, which made Matteo dazzled.
Mateo is really 'experienced'. Since he couldn't grab the ball, he just asked you to stop. He hooked his legs on Wang Li's legs and interrupted his cycling action directly. At this time, Wang Li seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and he almost uttered a curse.
Mateo's choice was correct. He used a tactical foul to prevent Wang Li from continuing to dribble the ball and buy time for his own players to return to defense.
The referee De Urso immediately ran over and showed Matteo a yellow card. This was the third time Matteo had violated Wang Li within ten minutes. Even if De Urso wanted to help the home team, he had to stop.
Wolverhampton got a free kick opportunity on the edge of the penalty area. The ball was about 30 meters away from the left corner of the goal, which was not a very good position.
But the Leeds United players on the field were still a little nervous, especially Robinson. He had watched the video of the game between Wolverhampton and Tottenham Hotspur. In that game, this black-haired boy took a fierce free kick. That kind of speed and power, if it hit a person... It's scary to think about it. Robinson prayed secretly: God bless, it must not be this black-haired boy who takes the free kick!
Perhaps God really heard his prayers, Kennedy walked to the ball and prepared to take the free kick.
In fact, Wang Li had never thought about taking free kicks. Apart from volleying, he didn't know how to use the spoon, scimitar, or falling leaves. During normal training, he mainly trained his awareness and positioning, and was weaker in free kicks. Even with Thomas' daily extra training, he only volleyed and practiced the accuracy of his shots.
He walked straight towards the Leeds United goal, and when he passed by Newton, he whispered, "Get the ball and pass it directly." Newton nodded after hearing that.
Seeing Wang Li coming over, two Leeds United players immediately came over to stick to him. However, Wang Li did not squeeze with them in the originally small standing position, but walked a little to the left, and a Leeds player next to him quickly followed.
Standing about three meters outside the human wall, Wang Li winked at Kennedy who was about to take a free kick, and then nodded to the right as if unconsciously.
Kennedy was stunned when he saw Wang Li's action, looked to the left, and then nodded in understanding.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle to signal Kennedy that he could start taking free throws.
Kennedy jumped twice on the spot, took a few running steps, and when he reached the ball, he took a big step and made a powerful shot. At the moment when his foot touched the ball, he changed the shot into a push and pushed the ball directly to Newton on the left. At this time, the human wall had been tricked by the cunning Kennedy and jumped up.
Newton had received Wang Li's signal long ago. He ran forward two steps, met the ball and made a cross. Maybe he kicked the ball hastily, the power of the ball was a little too strong, and it was only more than 1 meter high, which was a very awkward position. After kicking the ball, he covered his face with his hands and waved his hands to indicate that it was his mistake.
However, Wang Li, who was ready to receive the ball and shoot, would not give up this hard-won opportunity easily. A yellow figure was seen darting between the white figures in the small penalty area like a loach, and in the blink of an eye, he caught the flying ball. In the small penalty area, his first reaction was to shoot!
Only shooting can lead to goals!!!
