ps, There are still four updates today! Asking for monthly tickets!!

Liverpool launched an attack, Chen Hero retreated, and then raised his hand for the ball.

Gerrard hesitated for a moment, but still passed the ball to Chen Hero. He hesitated because Gerrard felt that Chen Hero's deep retreat was not conducive to the attack, and today's Chen Hero was a bit "atypical." From a technical point of view, he was not the Chen Hero they were familiar with.

But in the end, he still passed the ball to Chen Hero because as a captain, he must trust his teammates in the game. When his teammates placed their hopes on him, as the captain, he could not let them down.

The football fell at Chen Hero's feet, and Gerrard himself made a straight run forward, intending to meet Chen Hero.

Manchester City's midfield defense was due to his running position, and did not rush to pounce on Chen Hero. The defense in the middle was still in its position, blocking Gerrard.

The reason why Manchester City's players didn't all go to defend Chen Hero was also because they felt that Chen Hero's dribbling on the wing was not a threat, so naturally, they didn't need to make a big fuss. What if everyone went to defend him, but he passed the ball to an open area?

So when Chen Hero received the ball, only Silva chased up from behind to defend Chen Hero.

After receiving the football, Chen Hero didn't immediately start accelerating and dribbling like many wing players, wishing that his acceleration time from zero to one hundred kilometers could catch up with an F1 car.

Chen Hero didn't. He was like a clumsy tank, taking a long time from starting to getting started, let alone speeding up...

The engine was roaring, and the tank's body was shaking non-stop, as if it would fall apart at any time. But no one dared to underestimate this clumsy tank.

Especially those who had watched the Champions League final between Napoli and Barcelona.

But David Silva hadn't.

Silva rushed up from behind. Seeing that Chen Hero didn't run immediately, he was overjoyed and thought this was a good opportunity to steal the ball.

So he went directly around from the side, trying to steal the ball, but who would have thought that at this moment Chen Hero moved half a step horizontally, and stuck in front of Silva.

In the eyes of outsiders, Silva looked like he had voluntarily bumped into Chen Hero's back... His body paused when it hit Chen Hero, and then staggered, his body shaking, and his center of gravity unstable.

At this time, Chen Hero started!

He poked the football forward, took a big step, and threw off Silva, who was in a stiff state due to the collision.

Many people thought Chen Hero's dribbling was not good, because they had almost no chance to see Chen Hero dribble a few more steps.

In fact, after hard training in the instance, Chen Hero's basic skills in dribbling were very good. It's just that he usually has no chance to show it. A center forward, a powerful center forward, one who is considered a traditional powerful center forward, is usually rushing in the front line. Modern football's squeeze on space is also very strong, so where is there so much space and opportunity for him to dribble wildly for dozens of meters, straight into the enemy's heart?

Now when he dribbled up, discerning people's eyes lit up, and they found that Chen Hero's dribbling movements were very standard, and not as unbearable as many people thought. One proof is that the distance between him and the football is always maintained just right. Every time he poked the football out, he could touch the ball again in two steps, always using his dominant right foot to touch the ball, so as to avoid accidents caused by touching the ball with his non-dominant left foot. The sense of rhythm in dribbling is very good. Rhythm is the most important thing, and it is also the reason why many players usually don't run fast without the ball, but dribbling is like flying, making it difficult for people to tackle the ball.

Chen Hero rushed to Richards in a few steps.

Richards was actually in the ribs. Most people would directly go to the outside line, bypass the defensive players, and try to cross from the bottom, or slip into the penalty area from the bottom line.

Chen Hero insisted on finding Richards.

***

Richards couldn't ask for more! He had been humiliated by Chen Hero with a turn and shot in the ninth minute, and was eager to take revenge.

Seeing Chen Hero rushing straight over, he immediately put on a defensive posture, lowered his center of gravity, leaned his body forward, bent his knees slightly, and stared at the football under Chen Hero's feet.

At this moment, he saw Chen Hero's left foot swipe over the football...

Step over?

As if to verify his guess, Chen Hero's right foot followed!

It really is a step over!

After two step overs, Chen Hero had rushed to Richards.

Richards was still not out of his mind. He didn't stretch his foot first. He knew that in the front of the penalty area, whoever stretched his foot first would be unlucky.

He waited for Chen Hero's next move.

Another step over feint?

***

Just when Richards was defending Chen Hero head-on, Manchester City's midfielder Gareth Barry also chased over from the middle, forming a pincer attack with Richards!

As long as the two closed the encirclement, it would be difficult for Chen Hero to break through.

But Chen Hero had a way to deal with this kind of double-teaming, and it was very practical and simple! It was a movement that many professional players would do, but to do it well, and use it successfully at the right time to achieve the effect, that was another matter.

Many difficult technical movements, such as the *la cola de vaca*, Chinese players can do, but only in training. If you ask them to do it in a game in combination with the actual situation, they will probably not be able to do it. On the one hand, they have no confidence, and on the other hand, their level is not good enough.

Chen Hero didn't have these two problems. If he had no confidence, then no one in the world would have confidence. If his level was not good enough, then the instance would have been brushed in vain!

Chen Hero's approach was very simple. This time he didn't step over, but instead made a gesture with his right foot to buckle the ball, but this action was not aimed at Richards, who was intercepting him head-on, but at Barry, who was rushing up from the side.

He wasn't buckling the ball either, but... a movement that was both like buckling the ball and like passing the ball. This movement was very subtle, and the subtle feeling was in the slightest. It looked like Chen Hero was buckling the ball, but the usual buckling of the ball was that the foot touched the ball, and it was over when the ball was knocked out. Chen Hero's movement was not that simple. He pretended to knock the ball, but his right foot clearly had a retraction of force when it came into contact with the ball. At the same time, his right foot was slightly introverted, wrapped the ball and sent it forward, which was equivalent to holding the ball and sending it for a ride.

In this way, the strength, distance, and direction of the ball going out could be controlled more accurately.

The problem with doing this was that the speed of the ball going out was relatively slow, and it was not sudden enough. So this was not a simple buckle ball.

But another kind of dribbling action!

After Chen Hero sent the ball out with his right foot, his left foot quickly followed up, and gently poked the ball sent over by his right foot forward!

The football窜 passed through the gap between Barry and Richards!

At the same time, Chen Hero exerted force to kick his legs and rushed past the two of them, following the football.

"La Croqueta!" A commentator from a Spanish TV station exclaimed. "*La Croqueta*" is a movement that many players can do. There is nothing strange about it, but now Barcelona's player "Little White" Iniesta does it the most. There are almost a few such dribbles in every game, so it has become Iniesta's representative dribbling movement. The Spanish name for this technique is "La_croqueta". The Spanish translation is "*La Croqueta*," in fact, even if you understand it from the literal meaning, you can understand why this dribbling action is called this name. When the football collides back and forth on your left and right feet, and finally passes through the defense, isn't it like a pair of chopsticks holding a meatball and frying it in boiling oil? The round football is the meatball, and the two legs are like chopsticks.

The key to this dribbling action is that in addition to the two feet having to make alternating movements as quickly as possible, there is also a key point is to use the reasonable shaking of the upper body to get rid of the opponent, so that the opponent has no way to use fouls to stop you. So when Iniesta does this movement, his whole body is swinging, like a willow tree blown by the wind, there is a kind of smooth beauty.

But on Chen Hero's body, there is no such artistic beauty. His "*La Croqueta*" still carries his strong and obvious personal style. Because Richards and Barry were already very close at the time, Chen Hero directly knocked the two of them away, forcibly expanding the gap!

Then rushed out of it!

If such an action were to be done by Iniesta, it is estimated that the final result would be that "Little White" himself would be knocked out by two strong defensive players, and the ball would naturally be lost, but there was no problem with Chen Hero doing this. Who made him as strong as a bear?

And this is still a reasonable collision, the referee did not blow the whistle at all!

"Beautiful dribbling!!"

***

After knocking away Richards and Barry, Chen Hero rushed into the penalty area, received the football, and at the same time, Joe Hart quickly attacked.

Facing the attacking Joe Hart, Chen Hero calmly pushed and shot!

The football flew straight to the far corner, Joe Hart fell to the near corner, and raised his left leg high, trying to block Chen Hero's shot with his left leg.

But he didn't get his wish!

The football bypassed Joe Hart's foot and flew directly into the far corner of the goal!

"Twenty-second minute, Hero scores twice!!!"

The voice of the commentator roared eight degrees higher than before.

Because Chen Hero's goal was not only beautiful, but also crucial! In just twenty-two minutes, Liverpool, playing away, scored two goals against Manchester City. This game was in Liverpool's rhythm!

"What a beautiful goal, from receiving the ball to dribbling, to shooting, it's all done in one go, like mercury pouring down the ground!"

"Well done - Hero! He helped the team score the second goal! Liverpool extended their lead!"

"It's unbelievable! This is at Manchester City's home, but Manchester City's threatening shots are not many. On the other hand, Liverpool's two threatening shots have scored two goals! Hero is really Liverpool's invincible God of War!"

The Liverpool commentator waved his fist hard, and put the halo of "God of War" on Chen Hero's head.

Playing against Manchester City, the second-place team in the league, such a difficult game was turned into a picnic by Chen Hero's two goals. If he is not the God of War, who is?!
