Chapter 19: Six and a half steps

Under the precise arrangement of the two coaches, the defense was vigorous, and the attack was loud and the rain was small. The number of times he advanced forward was quite a few, but there was no shot, as if he had arrived in the Chinese Super League.

In the fifteen minutes of the game, both sides had almost no decent shots, and Real Madrid did not have one. The only thing that was somewhat reliable was Diego Costa's header. However, no matter how powerful Costa was, he could not transform into former German striker Bierkhov, headed the ball outside the penalty area to break through the Spanish national goalkeeper Caslias's goalkeeper? No matter how weak Caslias is, he will not suffer such shame.

After all, it still depends on set pieces to solve the problem! Ancelotti said secretly that after finally getting a free kick, he quickly got up from the coach's seat and stood by the sideline.

This position is really good, 25 or 6 meters, in the middle of the penalty area, isn’t Ronaldo’s best position!

"Wait... Cristiano's steps this time are a bit different from usual." The ESPN host opened his mouth in surprise. He was careful and even calculated the pace of Ronaldo's retreat. "He usually takes four steps back and then moves back half a step. This time he actually has two more steps than before!"

"I trained with him every day, why didn't I notice it?" Giggs widened his eyes. He didn't expect that the host was so professional. He just hung up his boots from Manchester United and was invited to participate in the live broadcast of the Champions League final. Giggs was very excited. However, compared with the host, he felt ashamed. He originally wanted to be a sports commentator on England TV after retirement, but he even calculated that Ronaldo took a few steps back from free throws. It was really unmatched. It seemed that it would be more reliable to go back to Manchester United to be an assistant coach...

The host is right. How many steps C Ronaldo takes to take a free kick is quite particular. It can be said that a pattern has been formed. Every time he free throws, Ronaldo counts his steps. This time he changed his pace, which means that Ronaldo has made improvements to the free kick.

The pace has increased, and the shooting posture has been lowered, a bit like Beckham's full moon scimitar is out of body!

As domineering as ever, Shi Potian rushed towards the goal, ignoring the angle!

Very correct!

Goalkeeper Courtois stood in place and directly hit the ball with his fists. If it were normal, he would definitely choose to use his palms to support the ball to either side of the left or right. This was to clear the ball to the safest position, but this time he did not dare, he could only hit the ball head-on. Perhaps he was afraid that if he hit the ball sideways, he might not be able to hold the ball out of the goal...

With a free kick without an angle, few players can make the goalkeeper so embarrassed. Even Courtois, who has been praised by many coaches, is no exception.

Angle and strength, these two factors are often not available at the same time. Ronaldo chose to use his strength to conquer Courtois, but unfortunately the ball was indeed too straight, and Courtois successfully eliminated the danger.

The high ball made the players of both sides fight again, fighting every second, and fighting for an inch of land. This is the Champions League, and there is no need tolerate any frivolity or carelessness. Whoever is lazy will regret it for the rest of his life, try his best and concentrate on every second. This is what every player must do. In the end, the ball was broken out of the sideline, and Real Madrid's attack was incomplete.

Ancelotti doesn't believe that Ronaldo, who has won the Champions League trophy, does not try his best, and Simeone doesn't believe that Costa and the others will leave themselves with regrets.

The finals are not necessarily the best game, but they are definitely the most important game.

"It is said that Cristiano practiced free kicks all day yesterday, but the level of the free kick just now is very average. I thought it would be a leaps and bounds. Is it because he took two steps just now that the level dropped? For games like this, there are not many opportunities for free kicks. If Ronaldo can score a free kick in the final, he will definitely be famous throughout the ages. Of course, Ronaldo's poor free kick status is a good thing for Atletico Madrid, and Courtois won't have to be so scared."

...He finished everything, what should I say? Giggs was a little depressed, "It's not about the state of a free kick, but luck is also very important. Maybe Ronaldo can kick it in with the next kick. Besides, he has always been like this. He doesn't pursue angles, he just needs the angle to be in the goal..."

Giggs said the truth, although this sounded a bit doubtful about his intention to tease Ronaldo. However, it was not unreasonable. This was not the first time in the La Liga field that he saw the goalkeeper watching the ball hanging into the net from his side. Several of the balls were shot in the goalkeeper's hands, which showed the great shooting.

For many people, the key to free kicks is to draw the angle. For Ronaldo, it seems that just passes through that wall of man...

The game was once again in a mess. Real Madrid, which lacked Alonso, was completely insufficient to control the midfield by Modric, so Real Madrid actually played a rare long pass? If it weren't for watching the game on the spot, Liu Hao wouldn't have believed it.

However, although the playing style is disgusting, Real Madrid players are indeed strong in individual combat capabilities. Even so, they still have a chance...

"Give another free kick! Is this ball a foul?!" Simeone was the head coach at this time, not a player, and her right to speak is much greater than that of a player. Sometimes she doesn't have to show off like a player, and she says whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't provoke the fourth official.

Less than three minutes after the last free kick, Real Madrid once again got a free kick in the frontcourt, and this time the position was similar to the last time.

Fortunately, I don’t have a heart attack, otherwise I would have lived to the end of the game by being punished by the referee. Even if I can’t play in, it will be a short life for a few years!

"Look, he took another six and a half steps!" Giggs said in front of the host this time. He counted Ronaldo's backward steps seriously. "He did this on purpose. It seems that he has really adjusted his shooting method."

This guy really wants to shoot in this way in the game! In fact, the most surprised thing was not the host and Giggs. Liu Hao, who was watching the ball in the VIP seat, was the one who was most surprised.

The reason why Ronaldo shot in this way is entirely because he asked Ronaldo to take two more steps back! The reason is very simple. When he cannot fully control the angle, he can only increase the strength of the ball through a larger run-up. Of course, he suggested that Ronaldo slightly adjust the timing and location of the ball at the same time. Move the arch up a little further.

I believe that if others suggested this to Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo would not pay attention to it, but when Ronaldo saw Liu Hao with his own eyes, he had to believe it. Moreover, Liu Hao's penalty was quite beautiful, much higher than his goal rate. Can he ignore it?

This is the experience that Liu Hao has obtained after many trials. He didn't want to say at first, but Ronaldo's kindness is hard to resist. In fact, when practicing free kicks in China, many players have learned from him, including Mao Jianqing, but Mao Jianqing has never played it.

But Ronaldo is different. Ronaldo has a solid basic skills, so it should not be difficult to play a good ball. However, Liu Hao found that he was wrong, so he might not have told Ronaldo, because not everyone is like him.

But it was too late. The stubborn Ronaldo actually used it in the game...

But the ball was still disobedient. He obviously wanted to shoot in the far corner, but he still went to Courtois. His feet were a little disobedient today!

I can do what he can do! Ronaldo's face was calm and he couldn't see any anxiety. Even if he lost the ball this time, the ball was still within the range of the door frame. Isn't it? There was no plane and no missed shots, which indirectly increased the hit rate. Now it just needs to change the angle of the ball flying!

The rare Ronaldo did not frown or beat his first foot.

He was not in a hurry, but his teammates were in a hurry.

When the third chance of such arises...

The general Bale has always regarded Ronaldo as his big brother and never competes for free kicks with Ronaldo. But seeing Ronaldo kicking the ball so poorly for two consecutive times, he also wants to go forward and try his foot. This is a free kick on the right side of the penalty area. The Great Sage's saliva is about to fall to the ground. If he doesn't go up and talk to Ronaldo, the chance will be gone again. Ronaldo's shot from this position is basically impossible to kick the ball in. He knows it...

His feet were indeed disobedient and walked towards Ronaldo...

Tai Sui's head is ripped off? Angel Di Maria is also a left-footed player, so he never competes for such ball rights. At this time, he also muttered in his heart when he saw Bale walking towards him and Ronaldo.

This kind of anxious scene won't make a noise, right? He couldn't help but take a few steps back and temporarily stayed away from the center of the vortex. He was ignorant and might have thought that all three of them were grabbing the ball and punishing the penalty! He was just standing here to cooperate with Ronaldo's free throw, but he wouldn't tell Ronaldo to give a free kick like Bale.

But the next moment, Di Maria was stunned.

Ronaldo actually patted Bale on the shoulder and gave up the ball on his own initiative?!
