Chapter 272 Flying Like a Feather

Simeone opened his arms on the sidelines and yelled loudly, asking the referee to protect the players.

However, his voice has been booed by the fans at the scene - the Chinese fans in front of the TV are dissatisfied with the referee, and the Astana fans are also dissatisfied with the referee.

They felt they should not have given a yellow card.

You must know that Anisi is the team's central defender. If there is a yellow card, what will happen in the next game?

He will definitely be tied up because of this yellow card. Maybe he will become the key breakthrough point of Atletico Madrid's offense. They continue to attack Anisi, which eventually leads to Anisi's collapse.

This yellow card could turn into a turning point in the game.

So in their view, Anisi's yellow card was too harsh.

They even thought that the yellow card was due to Gao Zheng's exaggerated fall, which led the referee to give Anisi a card.

So Gao Zheng, a shameless guy, actually flopped!

The Astana fans booed louder.

During the booing, Gao Zheng was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, and he rubbed his calf, which was where Anisi had hit him.

It really hurts...

Fortunately, it was just a flaw.

And he also hid. If he didn't dodge and let Anisi make a solid kick, he might not be able to fight this game, and he doesn't know if he can play in the next game.

But he could somewhat understand why Anisi was so ruthless.

Not even Anisi, other Astana players were obviously more aggressive after the start of the second half.

Because they are only one goal behind, they have the hope of equalizing, so they will be so motivated.

As the saying goes, "the person who untied the bell must tie the bell." Since the root of the problem is that Atletico Madrid is only one goal ahead of Astana, wouldn't it be good to score another goal and let Atletico Madrid lead by two goals?

If they work hard because they see hope, then they will not see hope.

"I'm fine." Gao Zheng smiled at his concerned teammates, reassuring them.

Then he asked the referee for a football.

He will personally take the free kick created by him.

Why did he practice free kicks so hard?

Isn't it just to let every opponent know that fouling him is not good, it will only lead to conceding the ball.

Now, whether it is Serie A, La Liga or the opponents in the Champions League, it seems that they have gradually realized this.

However, Astana, as a newcomer to the Champions League, is not very familiar with him. Otherwise, that number five wouldn't have asked him why he was laughing during the game.

This is also understandable.

But it doesn't matter, the first time is raw and the second time is familiar, everyone has a process from being unfamiliar to being familiar.

Gao Zheng arranged the football, and the tough artificial grass pushed the football up, allowing the football to float on the turf. He didn't even have to step hard on the soil at the penalty spot.

The human wall has been erected in Astana.

Thirty-five meters away from the center of the goal, the position is to the left, there are six people in the human wall, blocking half of the shooting angle, the near corner of the goal is completely covered by the human wall, and the goalkeeper Eric stands in the middle of the goal. —Why not the middle front? Because people always rush forward faster,

Standing in the back position, if Gao Zheng's ball went around the wall and went straight to the front, the goalkeeper would not be too slow to rush forward.

But if you stand too far forward, although you can cover the near corner, if Gao Zheng kicks the football to the back corner, he will have to retreat to catch the ball. At that time, neither the moving speed nor the power to take off will be insufficient.

Although Eric conceded four goals against Atletico Madrid in the last round, he performed very well at other times in the game and made many wonderful saves.

The same goes for this game.

At home, his performance seems to be on a higher level, playing better.

After setting up the human wall, he stood at the position he chose, leaned slightly, and lowered his center of gravity.

He saw Gao Zheng and football in the crowd.

This is a good location.

He made all the preparations and waited for Gao Zheng to play.

※※※

Gao Zheng had set up the football a long time ago, and he was waiting for the opponent to set up the wall.

When the wall was set, the referee stepped aside and blew his whistle.

Gao Zheng started a run-up, and then slammed his right foot towards the football.

Although it was a whip, the power was not great, just like the end of the whip hit a football.

The football flew into the air, but instead of flying from the wall to the near corner, it went straight to where the goalkeeper Eric was!

Eric saw the football flying towards him through the cracks in the crowd, and he was overjoyed - he didn't expect Gao Zheng's free kick to be so bad, and now he didn't even have to move, as long as he opened his hand, Being able to hold the ball in his arms...

So he raised his hands, palms turned outwards, palms slightly facing each other, forming a semicircle.

This is the standard gesture for a goalkeeper to catch the ball.

The ball flew over.

However, Eric suddenly found that the football in the air seemed to...haven't turned at all, which side was facing him when it took off, and which side is still facing him now.

The only thing that reassures him is that the football is indeed flying straight towards him, without changing direction.

But just when the football was about to approach him, the originally stable football suddenly fell obliquely downward!

Not very quickly, but very suddenly, as if you reached out to catch a feather that was falling down, and when your hand came to you, the feather was suddenly blown away by the wind you raised...

The football ran away from his palm like a weightless feather!

His hand still touched the football, but just rubbed it, and then the football slipped from his hand into the goal!

This is... a deciduous ball!

Eric had only one thought on his mind when the football flew into the goal.

Soccer balls can really flutter erratically like deciduous feathers!

"Gao Zheng! Gao Zheng!!! Great shot!!!" He Ping shouted on the TV.

In front of the TV, Xiao Yingying jumped up from the sofa, stepped on the floor with her bare feet, and also raised her arms and shouted: "Handsome!"

Feng Shiyao was not as excited as she was, but she still shook her fist vigorously.

Gao Zheng fulfilled his promise to her, and she finally got this goal!

At this moment, all kinds of cheers are flooding in front of the TV and on the Internet.

On TV, Simeone and the Atlético Madrid players did the same.

"The final free kick! It's beautiful! A real 'leaf ball'! It's amazing!" Jose Maria will not hesitate to give Gao Zheng's ball all kinds of compliments, and then he shouted Shouted: "Kazakhs, you know nothing about the horrors of the 'big devil'! Don't foul Gao! This is what happens!"
