Dear Gua
Chapter 53 How Can Anyone Play Like This?
Fierce and domineering!
Extremely sharp!
Like a boulder crushing the walls of Rome!
It howled towards the Roma goal!
Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny had no time to make any saves!
Before the match, the goalkeeping coach had helped him analyze the highlight reel of the Chinese teenager's violent long shots.
But only when facing it in person,
did he truly feel the terror of this kind of violent cannon shot!
Bang!
The football slammed heavily into the crossbar, making an explosive sound!
It felt like the entire Apennine Peninsula had been shaken.
The Roma goal frame was shaking violently!
Szczęsny screamed "Holy Mary" ten thousand times in his heart!
But it couldn't change the trajectory of the football!
The football plunged into the Roma net.
0:1!!!
The Olympic Stadium was silent.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment!
The gazes of tens of thousands of Roma fans shifted back to the goal scorer in unison.
That young Bayer Leverkusen number 10 was just like the god of war of Rome back in the day!
The secret sense of superiority hidden deep within them vanished.
...
"The goal is in!"
"Beautiful!"
"Unbelievable!"
"Inconceivable!"
"Chinese teenager Li Kang! He opened up the shooting angle in an unreasonable way!"
"He used a terrifying cannon shot! To break through Roma's city walls! Helping Bayer Leverkusen take the lead!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei were a little incoherent.
In their opinion,
how could Li Kang, who was not very strong, overturn the tall and powerful De Rossi and Rüdiger?
This is fucking against the laws of physics, isn't it?
......
De Rossi and Rüdiger got up and looked at each other.
Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
How could that kid's explosive speed and physical confrontation be so abnormal? Is he a beast!
Rüdiger rubbed his slightly numb left shoulder.
I'm 1.9 meters tall and weigh 180 pounds, how could he knock me away?
Nainggolan's expression was slightly bitter.
His task was to keep a close eye on Bayer Leverkusen's number 10, but if he hadn't covered Brandt just now, Roma's situation would have been equally dangerous.
As for why Li Kang was able to knock away Roma's two "tall and hard" players?
This is how he deduced it: The kid himself has strong confrontation ability, and he is also a two-footed player with balanced strength. The power brought by explosive sprint... he just didn't expect his explosive speed to be so fast!
Szczęsny looked back at the goal frame.
He didn't know if he was hallucinating.
The goalpost seemed to be still shaking...
..........
Dragon Country live broadcast room.
The fans watched the replay of the goal on the big screen, excitedly swiping through the comments.
-[Roma fans are dumbfounded, right? But Li Kang's starting speed is so fast, why didn't he dribble the ball and charge earlier?]
-[His ball control level is still very average. It's useless to have speed alone. He can't maintain a long-term high-speed dribbling raid! To put it this way, the rhythm of dribbling is very important, otherwise wouldn't Bolt be invincible if he played football?]
-[You think Bolt hasn't played football? He joined the Central Coast Mariners of the A-League! But he was really bad, and went home to continue practicing track and field after playing for a few months.]
-[Speaking of the A-League, I have a million words to say...]
....
Olympic Stadium.
Before Li Kang had time to celebrate, he was surrounded by his teammates.
Borges shook his shoulders excitedly: "Li! I knew you were more reliable than them. When I saw you raise your hand, I knew I could get an assist!"
Brandt ruffled Li Kang's hair, and said with guilt: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been watching the videos you brought back from Japan all day. My condition has been too bad lately."
Son Heung-min quickly pushed everyone away: "Don't touch Li's head! This is our Bayer Leverkusen's brain!"
Everyone laughed.
The audience and commentators couldn't fully appreciate it.
But the Bayer Leverkusen players felt it deeply.
It was because of Li Kang's organization and planning that the team gradually opened up the situation and tore apart Roma's defense system!
Just like primitive hominids who had completed a group hunt.
They would always leave the biggest share of the spoils to the commander.
....
By the side of the field,
Old Man Topp and Dino raised their fists high!
"He did it! We may only have this one chance... to break through Roma's goal."
"Boss, have you noticed that Li's speed has become faster? Especially those first few steps!"
"This kid's physical fitness is terrifying. He secretly adds extra training every day, but I just don't understand the level of testosterone in his body... the indicators are very normal."
On the other side,
Garcia pressed his temple with his middle finger.
He looked towards the bench.
He hesitated for a moment.
He shook his head.
Now is not the time to send Totti onto the field.
.........
The game restarts in the center circle.
Džeko kicks off and passes horizontally to Salah.
The latter, facing the pressing Kiesling, decisively passed the ball to Pjanić to the side.
At this time,
Roma's formation changed again, not returning to the original 4-3-3, but turning into a 4-4-2.
Brandt quickly approached, trying to stop Pjanić from passing the ball.
The Roma genius gently pulled the ball back with his right foot.
Avoiding the opponent's tackle.
At the same time as he turned around, he flicked the ball with his left foot.
Free and easy.
The smooth and flowing movements were completed in one go.
When Brandt came back to his senses, he found that he had been left behind by Pjanić.
The Roma fans on the stands burst into thunderous applause.
"Too elegant!"
"His ball control is as good as his long passes!"
"He deserves to be Pirlo's successor!"
.....
Next.
Roma's midfielders and forwards ran wildly.
Like a lazy red wolf, opening its eyes and starting the hunting moment.
Pjanić's speed of carrying the ball forward was not slow.
Facing the double-teaming of Kiesling and Son Heung-min,
he quickly passed the ball to Nainggolan!
Although Nainggolan has tattoos, drinks, smokes, and perms his hair, his footwork is not bad.
"Beautiful!"
"Wonderful wall pass!"
"Two-on-two!"
The football returned to Pjanić's feet.
He observed the situation on the field a little, looking for a line to pass the ball forward:
Digne and Florenzi rushed out on both wings!
Džeko pulled Bender away.
Salah was entangled with Kramer.
Leaving only Li Kang, who was coming head-on?
Pjanić slowed down.
At the moment when the Bayer Leverkusen number 10 approached,
he flicked the ball to the left with his right foot.
180-degree turn!
Pulling the ball again with his left foot!
Elegant!
Olympic Stadium! Applause continued!
....
Although Pjanić is called Pirlo's successor,
his idol is Zidane.
Since he was a child, he liked to imitate the French superstar's dribbling moves.
He has mastered this move
perfectly.
"Marseille turn!!!"
"Gorgeous!"
"Elegant!"
"Genius midfielder Pjanić! He will definitely be the next generation of midfield master after Pirlo and Xavi!"
"His exquisite footwork is very much like Zidane himself..."
Just when everyone thought that Pjanić had completed another beautiful escape,
Li Kang's figure tilted slightly.
He stretched out his right foot
and quickly fell to the ground.
Bang!
His toes accurately poked the football away...
The Olympic Stadium suddenly became quiet.
What the hell?
Our midfield genius, after a series of gorgeous operations, was destroyed by your simple poke?
Pjanić himself was also dumbfounded.
The football slowly bounced to the unattended area on the left side of Bayer Leverkusen's half!
The Bayer Leverkusen forward quickly chased back and controlled the football at his feet.
"Son Heung-min... very timely."
