Prominence in Football Community

After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid missed one goal after another, which made Atletico Madrid fans sigh.

"Is this God punishing us, implying that we shouldn't win here?" Daniel Herrera said, pointing to the TV.

"Shut up, Danielle! Or I'll throw you out of here!" a burly man in the crowd shouted at him.

Herrera immediately shrank her neck and remained silent.

The bar was overcrowded, and Makin fans who did not travel with the team gathered here to watch the game, enjoy beer and cheer for the team.

However, the process of this game made everyone less interested in drinking.

Atlético Madrid had the upper hand in the first half, only to run into the God-like goalkeeper of Almeria.

In the second half, Reuven blocked Arda Turan's shot again, and it looked like his godlike performance would continue.

The Atlético Madrid fans in the bar were holding wine glasses with solemn expressions, and no one paid attention to the wine glasses in their hands.

In the football world, such situations do exist.

A certain player who is usually unknown suddenly performed well, as if a god descended from the earth, and played the highlight moment of his career.

Ruben Martinez joined the Barcelona club in 1997 and was a goalkeeper produced by Barcelona's youth training. However, he only played three times on behalf of the Barcelona first team. Most of the time he played in the Barcelona B team. Frequent rentals.

In the 2009-2010 season, his contract with Barcelona expired, and he moved to Cartagena on a free transfer, which is a team in the Second Division. In this team, he finally became the main goalkeeper.

After two seasons in Cartagena, he moved to Malaga for 1.3 million euros, his only transfer fee so far.

After two seasons as a substitute goalkeeper in Malaga, he moved to Vallecano on a free transfer in the 2012-2013 season,

In Rayo Vallecano, the goalkeeper who came from Barcelona finally became the main force in the first division team. In the first season, he played 31 times, conceded 49 goals, and had zero seals in eight games. However, as a goalkeeper, he has eight yellow cards and two red cards, which is surprising...

last season,

That is, in his second season at Vallecano, he played 35 times, conceded 64 goals and kept 10 clean sheets.

With the opportunity to play the main goalkeeper in Vallecano, he came to Almeria on a free transfer from Vallecano this season to serve as the main goalkeeper. The performance is not bad, Almeria only conceded one goal in the first few games.

However, in Spanish football, there is still a big gap between him and those famous goalkeepers. Whether it is fame or strength, he is not eye-catching.

But in this game, the little-known goalkeeper played bravely and repeatedly refused shots from the Atletico Madrid stars.

His outstanding performance made the commentators constantly exclaimed his name and sent various words of praise.

At this time, Ruben Martinez, who was born in 1984, was thirty years old, which was the golden age of a goalkeeper.

Perhaps this player will not be able to reach the heights of his predecessors Casillas and rising star De Gea throughout his career, but at this moment, in today's game, the Almeria fans kept singing Ruben Martinez's cheering song, I think he is as good as Casillas and De Gea.

Listening to Almeria's home fans singing for him, Ruben was filled with endless power.

He is determined to repay the love and support of the Almeria fans with his first clean sheet of the season.

But it's not just goalkeeper Ruben who performed well. Almeria's defense also tried its best to stop Atletico Madrid.

In particular, their defense against Gao Zheng was very tight. The time Arda Turan failed to pass the ball to Gao Zheng was already considered a rare good opportunity for Gao Zheng, and it was because his defense was shifting to the side. There was a mistake, and it was directly intercepted by Arda Turan, and the defense hurriedly responded to the omission.

In fact, it is difficult for Gao Zheng to get a chance to face the goal in most cases.

As long as he enters the 30-meter area, the Almeria players will force him to take the ball with his back to the attacking direction, which makes it difficult for Gao Zheng to shoot.

Of course, as long as he is far away from the goal, he can also face the attacking direction, but at that time he is far away from the goal, and the threat has dropped a lot.

For example, in this attack, Gao Zheng headed into the penalty area as a center forward, but his back was facing the attacking direction. When Griezmann passed the football to him, he could only pass the football back directly. Griezmann in the rear crosscut.

However, Griezmann didn't have a good chance, so after receiving a pass from Gao Zheng, he moved the football laterally to the other side and gave it to Cork on the left.

So far, this is a microcosm of Atletico Madrid's previous attack. They have far more ball possession than the home team Almeria, and they have more shots, but they just don't score.

Gao Zheng is under the strict marking of the opponent, and it is even more difficult to get a chance. In many cases, he can only play for his teammates and help them create opportunities.

Just like he just passed the ball back to Griezmann with his back to the attacking direction.

Cork, who got the ball, originally planned to take a long shot, but when he looked up, he saw Gao Zheng, who was walking back, suddenly turned around and ran back.

Even though he wasn't gesturing to himself, Kirk realized what he was supposed to do.

So he didn't run up and passed the football to the back of the penalty area with his feet on the spot!

"Koke's cross, run high and point backward! He is adjusting his pace, this is going to shoot directly... He opened his posture!" Jose Maria was a radio commentator, and explained the game. Always try to use language to describe everything that happened on the field. He should try to explain every movement of the players clearly, instead of just shouting a name.

Every ups and downs in his tone mean many nuances, and those who listen to his commentators regularly can understand.

Dong Jin, who is holding the radio, is now listening to Jose Maria’s commentary. When he heard Jose Maria say this, the picture of the game naturally appeared in his mind:

Gao Zheng ran backwards, and adjusted his pace and rhythm in great strides in the process, and swung his feet directly, ready to draw the football towards the goal!

He couldn't help clenching his fists.

※※※

Similar to what Dong Jin imagined, Gao Zheng did exactly that. He started to adjust his pace while running, and even a fool could see that he was going to shoot directly.

As Almeria's central defender Trujillo naturally saw it, he turned and ran to the back point. After seeing Gao Zheng swung his right leg, he threw his body out without thinking about anything, intending to use his body to block Gao Zheng's shot.

At this time, he didn't think about the possibility of being swayed by Gao Zheng's fake action at all, because in his opinion, Gao Zheng's action was a shot on the string, and it would definitely be a shot, and there would be no other actions. possible. If he was worried about being shaken and missed the best chance to stop Gao Zheng, he might make a big mistake.

When he turned around to block Gao Zheng's shot with his body, he turned to face the goal. He saw that goalkeeper Lu Wen was also moving his body quickly, running back to the back corner of the goal, preparing to block Gao Zheng's shot.

With his body and goalkeeper Ruben, he firmly believes that they will be able to resolve Atletico Madrid's sudden attack.

But the shot he expected didn't come. He didn't feel the impact of the football in his body, and he didn't see the football flying towards the goal.

What's going on here?

Didn't Gao Zheng kick the ball? Or did he miss the football?

"Koke made a cross suddenly, Gao Zheng ran forward, beautiful! Opportunity!" Amidst He Ping's roar, all the Chinese fans in front of the TV watched Gao Zheng swung his right leg and wanted to volley .

World wave!

Many people are exclaiming in their hearts.

But when the football really flew to the landing point, the moment they were looking forward to in their minds did not happen.

The football was not drawn towards the goal by Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng's right leg was indeed swung towards the football like a whip.

But the next scene made many viewers' eyes widen - when the whip hit the football, it didn't blow the football away, but... stuck the football!

The football seemed to freeze suddenly, and it was stopped by Gao Zheng's right leg!

And it's not just as simple as stopping the ball, the football was actually fixed between Gao Zheng's calf and the top of his foot!

Then, with the rotating right leg, it was retracted!

No one expected that the volley shot with an arrow on the string turned into a magic juggling performance!

Trujillo was deceived and jumped over, just letting goalkeeper Ruben come out.

Goalkeeper Lu Wen reflexively made a save and only halfway through, he was surprised to see that the football was still on Gao Zheng's feet...

At this moment, Gao Zheng, who was holding the football between his feet, flicked his right ankle, and directly lifted the football to the back corner of the goal.

And Lu Wen, whose body was frozen in place, could do nothing about the football that was far away from him. He could only watch the football fly to the back corner of the goal.

The home fans who saw this scene also forgot to boo, and watched the football fly towards the goal dumbfounded.

In this morgue-like silence, the football crossed the line and crashed into Almeria's goal.

The arrow is on the string, retract and release freely!
