Chapter 292 Preemptive Strike
Seeing Bale approaching Azpilicueta quickly, Chiellini knew that Azpilicueta would definitely be passed, because there was still a large space behind him. m
With Bell's characteristics, he is definitely speeding up the ball, and does not make physical contact with you at all, even if he does it five meters away from you, you can't stop him.
So he planned to go up to defend, close the gap between himself and Azpilicueta, and cover up that when Bale waddled the football, he would immediately touch Chiellini. Might be able to force Bell to slow down.
But just as he was about to do so, a figure rushed past him.
At the same time, he dropped a sentence: "Pay attention to Crouch in the middle!"
It's Captain Jose Passarella!
※ ※ ※
"Bell! Bell! Bell—! Nice break, third! He beat Azpilicueta!"
The England commentator was on the verge of tears.
Sweeping the invincible players in Europe, even Barcelona can't do anything to their Lazio, how has it ever been so embarrassing?
Their players lined up for Bale to explode one by one!
Now Tottenham Hotspur and Bell's momentum is completely up, and the commentator believes that this goal is likely to be scored!
Because Lazio's defensive attention was all attracted by Bell, Crouch, who followed up from the center, and Lennon, who cut in from the right, were left alone.
As long as Bell crosses and passes the football, it is basically a one-handed game!
※ ※ ※
Bale dribbles past Azpilicueta and he catches the ball.
At the same time, Lazio's captain and central defender Jose Passarella also stood in front of him.
It was the fourth defender he encountered.
"Pass him!!" the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands chanted.
In the large and small pubs in North London, England, Tottenham Hotspur fans were shouting: "Pass him, Gareth! Pass him!!"
But Bell didn't immediately accelerate with another pass.
After three consecutive accelerations. His speed has also reached an extreme. If he continues to accelerate now, his pace will be messed up, because he is also tired.
He is a human being, not a machine. It is already remarkable that he has done three consecutive accelerations, which are very physically demanding.
For the fourth time, he had to take it easy. Change the tempo a bit.
So he slowed down, and instead of wading out the football immediately, and then speeding up, he was full of footsteps chasing the football.
His specific plan is to use the deceleration to confuse the opponent, and then pretend to cut to the middle. When Jose Passarella defended in the middle, he was using his right foot to turn the football to the left and dunk it to the outside.
Immediately after him, he turned around and accelerated...Breakthrough!
This is the complete battle plan in Gareth Bell's mind.
※ ※ ※
"Gareth Bell! Huh?"
Originally, the commentator planned to say "Gareth Bell! He broke through again—!" Such a passionate commentary.
He thought Bell would continue to accelerate forward.
But Bell slowed down, obviously slowing down.
So he let out a "huh" and felt very strange.
Before he could continue speaking, he saw Bell move again, his body undulating. Dial the football inside.
※ ※ ※
The time between Bell's deceleration and restart is very fast. This is a change in rhythm that makes it difficult for the opponent to guard against.
After starting, he suddenly used the outer instep of his right foot to push the football to the inside. The body also leaned to the right, making a fake move to break through inside.
Sure enough, Jose Passarella was fooled and followed him to the inside.
Seeing that Bell has achieved his goal, he doesn't want to leave you here without him. He quickly swung his right foot out again, knocking back the football that had been pushed aside. At the same time, he started, intending to pass by Jose Passarella!
But at the same time that his right foot hit the football, Jose Passarella, who was shifting his center of gravity to the inside, suddenly turned around on the spot and turned to the outside!
Bell lowered his head to smash the ball, but did not see this scene.
And when he looked up, he saw that Jose Passarella had already appeared on the football route!
Because he smashed the ball vigorously again, the football was kicked a little far by him. It is impossible for him to regain control of the football immediately.
He speeded up to catch up, but he was still a step late. He watched Jose Passarella wade out the football before he arrived and bypassed him!
※ ※ ※
When Bell changed his direction and made a breakthrough, the England commentator cheered again. This is really a clever change of rhythm!
But the result was different from what he thought, his cheers were only halfway through, and they got stuck in his throat, unable to get out!
Because the football that Bell dunked was intercepted by Jose Passarella in advance!
As if he knew that Bell was going to do this, he turned around suddenly while turning his center of gravity to the inside, without even waiting for Bell to smash the ball.
This is a very risky defense. If Bell did not want to smash the ball outside, but really went inside, then his defense can be said to be wide open and a complete failure.
The Tottenham Hotspur fans in front of the TV only cheered halfway, and they couldn't make a sound.
The ball is broken, so why cheer?
This time it was the turn of the Italian commentator to feel proud.
"Jose Passarella! He was keenly aware of Bell's intentions! A perfect early defense! This is Jose Passarella's signature! He can always see through the opponent's intentions! Bell's speed in his There is not even room for display in front of you!!"
The Lazio fans in the stands followed with a huge cheer, and they can finally have a good time.
Are you very good Bell? We have Jose Passarella!
※ ※ ※
Bell turned his head in surprise to look at Jose Passarella who had passed the football.
Don't understand how he knew he would do this.
Regarding Jose Passarella, he has naturally learned about it. He knows that this man's defense is famous for making defensive moves in advance, because his anticipation ability is very good.
There are still many rumors about this.
Some people say that Jose Passarella has supernatural powers, and can see through people's hearts. Know what they are thinking.
Some people say that Jose Passarella has the ability to predict. Can know the future in the next few seconds in advance.
But these are too fantasy, appearing in this realistic story, not full enough serious enough...
In fact, Jose Passarella's excellent anticipation ability comes from his calm mind, keen observation ability, and his rich experience.
When he was still young, he was inexperienced, but he would watch the game videos of his opponents thousands of times, so that he would naturally know what his opponents used to do. What is their style of play.
According to this feature, and then make a judgment based on the actual situation in the game, it is absolutely inseparable.
For example, in the ball just now, Jose Passarella found it strange that Bell didn't directly break through him.
He came mentally prepared for a foul. If Bale really wants to speed up and force a breakthrough, he will directly shovel him. Even if he gets a red card, he must not let this kid humiliate the entire Lazio defense line alone!
But Bell suddenly accelerated, he felt strange, and at the same time he felt vigilant.
He didn't think it was a mistake for Bell, and he must have had other intentions to slow down.
Sure enough, he saw Bell dial the football in. Made a gesture to cut inside.
Generally speaking, it is a very reasonable explanation to slow down and cut in, and most defensive players will immediately rush to block his inward cut route. Because the inside is more important than the outside. Defensive players will give priority to defending the inside and give up the outside.
If Jose Passarella hadn't seen Bale's little move before then, he might have done the same.
He saw that there was an ups and downs in the center of gravity of Bell's body before the inside cut, and he jumped up lightly. Then after falling, he set the football out with his right foot.
It was this movement that made him think it was impossible for Bell to really cut in. It's more likely that he tricked himself to the inside, and then he drove from the outside.
Because most players want to cut in, they will directly dial the ball in and cut in, without any ups and downs of the existing body, which will make the center of gravity unstable. Before the player really wants to accelerate, he will not do this.
If his center of gravity is to sink first and then rise again, then Jose Passarella may be deceived.
Because sinking is an action of accumulating energy, many people will unconsciously sink when they want to use force.
But Bell was just the opposite, he chose to raise his center of gravity first.
In Passarella's view, there is only one explanation for this. He wants to make his body more rhythmic. He is moving his center of gravity, so that when he changes his center of gravity again, it will be very smooth, very natural, and faster.
This small movement is a warm-up for the center of gravity.
The purpose of changing the center of gravity frequently is to deceive yourself...
So Jose Passarella simply used his tricks, pretending that he was cheated, and then tricked Bell into following his own plan, and he was waiting for him in the future of this plan.
Sure enough, he successfully broke Bell's breakthrough.
Bell's long-distance attack from the backcourt was smothered by Jose Passarella.
Tottenham Hotspur fans lamented, while Lazio fans cheered.
But that's not all.
Lazio will not let it go.
How could they allow Tottenham Hotspur to cover up and humiliate them, but they did nothing and did not fight back?
Bale's breakthrough boosted Tottenham's morale, but it also angered Lazio.
They are all over European football, have they ever encountered such a blockade?
If not destroying Tottenham Hotspur, then how to show their power? Does that mean that in the future, a team with such a fast player would dare to tease Lazio's defense like this?
In this way, Lazio launched a fierce offensive against Tottenham Hotspur!
