Becoming the Best Goalkeeper in the World
Chapter 12: Practice free kicks
During David's previous demonstration, Randy observed him very carefully.
After doing a comparison, Randy found that every time David took a free kick, his actions were about the same.
Raise his left hand, moving it with his shoulder.
The right hand is naturally pressed downwards, and the upper body and legs form a large angle, and it looks like it will fall off at any time.
But he won't fall ...
When kicking the ball, use the inside to slam the middle and bottom of the ball, while swinging the legs wide and fast.
After the ball is kicked, the bow is large and the speed is fast, like a banana arch.
At first glance, David's free throw curve is almost the same as the other free-kick masters.
However, few people can take into account the stability of the pace and angle of a free-kick like David.
With every free throw David made, the speed was very fast and the landing was very precise.
While defending, although the goalkeeper can sometimes accurately determine where his free throw fell, it is too late to make a full save.
Can only helplessly watch the ball go into the goal.
Other than David, there are very few people in the world who can perfectly blend speed and angle.
Not surprisingly, some people call the free kick that David did as an arrow.
Even the area from 25 meters to 30 meters in front of the goal is called the David area!
Under such a prestigious reputation, that reputation was indeed deserved!
After emulating hundreds of times, Randy failed because the focus was not adjusted properly, or the speed of the free-kick was too slow.
After studying the curve of the banana's arch, Randy felt that the quality of his free-kick had not improved, instead looking much worse than before.
Is he too stupid?
of course not!
David's free-kick is world-famous, and there are plenty of people who want to emulate it, but how many do it work?
In the eyes of outsiders, Beckham's free-kick didn't seem too good.
The bows and corners are almost the same at all times.
But in fact, David relied on this so-called "one trick" to hit the world.
After entering the Red Devils, Los Blancos, England national team, he was the first free kick kicker in the team.
Relying on this unique skill, he had repeatedly staged great free-kicks.
The number of goalkeepers defeated by David's free-kick can be said to be countless.
If Randy can really learn David's unique skills, no one will be his opponent in the Premier League or even in the European arena.
The following days, in addition to practicing the basic skills of goalkeepers every day, Randy also practiced free kicks.
After a few days, Randy made a lot of progress, then came to advanced training. He followed the method told by David, in the upper right corner of the goal, at the intersection of the beam and pole, the car tire was suspended.
Next, all he had to do was, at 25 yards from the goal, a football penalty goal.
Not only to finish the goal, but also to let the ball pass the "battles" in the middle of the tire to finish the goal.
To be honest, for Randy, who has a free-kick attribute of up to 95, this task is not difficult to complete.
Without the distraction of the goalkeeper and wall guard, Randy is more than 90% confident in his usual serve and will put the ball into the "buck".
However, if Beckham's free throw method is used, Randy's shot percentage will drop dramatically.
First ball high!
Second ball is low!
Third ball, fail!
...
The tenth ball, it worked!
Even though he scored, the speed of the ball was slow!
Not satisfied!
Randy is not satisfied!
He kept recalling Beckham's teachings, recalling his free throw movements, experienced the unique mystery of the banana arch arc, and slowly improved his free kick method.
Although the temporary effect was not good, he was not in a hurry.
Because, he knew, he was on the right path.
As long as he continued to follow this path, he would definitely further improve his free-kick abilities and become an omnipotent free-kick master.
Looking at Randy's training and sweating profusely, Eric felt a little emotional.
"There are only a few young people who can endure training so seriously! Ferguso, what do you think of him?"
Eric asked.
Ferguso took Randy's training seriously for a while, and slowly said: "The goalkeeping technique has a lot of problems, but the effect is very good, so I'm not going to talk about it. But his free-kicks have improved a lot. I can hardly imagine. A person who has never played a free kick can grow to this level in just half a month. "
"Yes, if it wasn't for over-chasing David's free-kick method, by his level, he wouldn't have been worse than Ronnie and the others!"
Eric said helplessly.
In fact, in the last two months, both have often watched Randy's training, and often want to applaud his progress.
But Randy who really pursued perfection, he had to train himself as accurately as David, so that his free kick does not still miss.
