Chapter 144: Who Kicks Free Kicks?


All the Valencia players on the field were stunned and even the corner kicks were completed like zombies under the reminder of the referee.

Thoughts still linger on the magical left goal post.

Although Alberda, who takes the corner kick, is experienced, his corner kick is still not ideal.

However, even if he takes a high-quality corner kick, no one can probably do it.

Yeah, because the players subconsciously think that the goalposts will keep their goals away.

Sporting Lisbon, who had escaped two disasters, also realized that they needed to strengthen their defense.

Therefore, Valencia did not get the same excellent opportunity as before.

However, even if there is such an opportunity, they will subconsciously avoid the left goalpost.

In this case, Ricardo's job will be much simpler.

After missing the two must-goals, the whole game seemed to have lost its climax and became dull.

Therefore, time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the 40th minute of the game.

Moutinho controls the ball, and Rosenbach stands diagonally behind him.

This ensures that Moutinho can react the first moment he loses the ball and keep the ball in place instead of giving it to Barron.

West Asia seized the opportunity and launched their familiar quick counterattack.

Of course, there is another reason, which is to ensure that Moutinho has a stable ball point.

Then, Moutinho suddenly passed a through ball.

Rogerio, who circled from the baseline to the edge of the penalty area, received the ball without any hesitation and hit the goal directly.

Fortunately, Canizares reacted quickly and beat the ball.

Get out of line.

A minute later, Baraja shoveled the excellent Rogenio out of the sideline with the ball.

This foul almost led to a real fight between the players on both sides.

Fortunately, the referee controlled it properly and did not let the matter escalate further.

He A yellow card was given to Baraja who committed the foul, Moutinho who stepped forward to reason, and Aimar who stepped forward for Baraja.

In the 43rd minute, Aimar and Aiello made exquisite cooperation at the front of Sporting Lisbon's penalty area.

After the latter got the ball, he suddenly passed the ball to Ferrer who was running in the penalty area.

Ferrer did not move after getting the ball.

He shot the ball immediately, but stepped back on the ball with the sole of his left foot.

Aimar followed up and kicked the ball into the stands.

In the last half minute of legal time before the end of the first half, Sporting Lisbon made a quick counterattack.

Midfielder Aurelio pulled the ball-carrying Ledson to the ground and received a yellow card.

In the end, Sporting Lisbon entered the locker room with a 1-0 lead thanks to Rogerio's goal.

After entering the locker room, Aiello and Vicente suddenly felt like they were the same people in the world.

They had the same great opportunity, the same goalpost, and the same rejection.

"If you want to cry, just hold me and cry together, hahaha."

Navarro turned on the funny mode again, looked at Aiello and Vicente and laughed.

Immediately, the entire locker room burst into laughter.

Even the acting head coach Benetti, who was nervous and unseemly, laughed.

Immediately, the negative emotions of the team being one goal behind in the first half disappeared without a trace.

Sometimes, the team just needs some humor, so that the team can always stay in the most relaxed position. above the state. bang bang bang Benetti clapped when he saw how much better the atmosphere in the locker room was.

Everyone immediately stopped laughing and looked at Benetti in unison.

"We fell behind by one goal in the first half, which can be said to be expected but also unexpected.

Why?

Before the game, we also expected to be behind by one goal, but what we didn't expect was that our luck would be so bad.

One minute later The two must-goals in the game were denied by the left post of the Alvalade Stadium.

This is unique in the history of the UEFA Cup, which means that we have created a history.”

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.

Benetti quickly lowered his arms to signal everyone to stop laughing.

"But this is not how our game will end.

We were able to create two great opportunities in the first half, and we will definitely be able to create two great opportunities in the second half.

As long as we seize the opportunity, We, Valencia, will definitely win the championship and we will definitely become the first team in the history of the UEFA Cup to defend the UEFA Cup twice.”

As the acting head coach, Benetti can be said to be getting more and more into his role.

He is becoming more and more attentive to adjusting the team's mood during halftime.

The players become more and more excited as they listen and seem to be eager to go out and immediately start the second half.

The chase.

"The championship must be ours" Baraja was the first to stand up, raising his right arm high "The championship must be ours" "The championship is ours" At the same time, the Sporting Lisbon locker room also seemed very happy, talking and laughing.

Yadim was in a very good mood.

Although the team faced crises twice in the first half, they finally got over it.

At the end of the half, it was still the same The team still took the lead, which made him very happy.

Moreover, the two crises in the first half also reminded him of the second leg of the semi-finals.

That game was called the first miracle in the history of the UEFA Cup.

He is a devout Catholic, so he believes that God has always been with him.

He is with him, and he firmly believes that Sporting Lisbon will win the championship this season.

"Guys, I'm very satisfied with the performance in the first half, but you must not relax in the second half.

You must stabilize your position after the start and don't panic.

After about fifteen minutes of watching the game, I believe Valencia will definitely show its flaws. , we can pursue the victory and score one or more goals.

In short, we can score as many goals as we can, and we will definitely be the ones to win the final championship."

Yadim became more and more excited as he spoke.

He was like an instigator, inciting the emotions of the eleven starting players in front of him.

"We are the champions" "We will be champions" "Yes, we will be champions" The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly.

When Aiello walked out of the player tunnel, he looked at the Bertoni Trophy again.

When he was about to touch the trophy, he was blocked by Aimar behind him.

"Are you crazy?

Touching the trophy before the game is taboo" Aimar had quick eyes and quick hands.

When he saw that Ai Luo was about to touch the trophy, he quickly blocked it.

"All I can say is, you are so superstitious."

Iroh pouted and said.

"Go, go, go, I'm the one who wants to win the championship."

"Hey, I also want to win the championship."

"Then let's cheer together and the championship will definitely belong to us."

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the second minute of the game, Sporting Lisbon forward Ledson accidentally sprained his foot when he landed while competing for a corner kick with Navarro.

Fortunately, after being checked by the team doctor, it was not serious. .

After the opening, Sporting Lisbon's players obviously failed to keep up with the rhythm of the start of the second half.

The previous example of Ledson's sprained foot when he landed a corner kick was an epitome of this.

In the 50th minute, Miguel Garcia had to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Ricardo under Aiello's pressure.

The latter, facing Ferrer's pressure, suddenly turned out to be his teammate.

The back pass was received at the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.

Ferrer excitedly raised his right arm to signal the opposing goalkeeper Ricardo for a foul in the penalty area.

At this time, Ricardo realized that he had made a very low-level mistake and hugged the defender's return pass with his hand.

However, he reacted quickly enough, almost before Ferrer turned around and complained to the referee.

The football was put down immediately.

However, this time he did not escape the sharp eyes of the referee. beep The referee blew his whistle decisively.

Ricciardo also knew that he had made a mistake and did not appeal.

Instead, he arranged for his teammates to come back and form a wall.

Fortunately, the place where he made the mistake this time was close to the baseline, so there was no direct threat.

Subsequently, Albelda knocked the ball back, and Baraja volleyed from 15 meters in front of the goal.

The football hit Rosenbach's body and bounced out of the baseline.

In the 62nd minute, Valencia made adjustments.

Marchena replaced Baraja, who had already been saddled with a yellow card and a warning, to maintain the toughness of the defense in the middle.

With the wealthy Marchena on the court, Valencia's waist suddenly became stiffer, and as the defense became more rigid, there were naturally more opportunities to attack.

In the sixth minute after Marchena came on the court, which was the 68th minute of the game, Marchena successfully counterattacked Rogerio in the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball to Albelda who was about to return to defense.

After receiving the ball, he completed a turn and passed the ball out at the same time, because he saw an opponent's player rushing up with a ferocious look on his face, obviously preparing to use foul tactics.

Professional players all know that having the ball intercepted in the backcourt is a very dangerous signal, so as soon as the ball was lost, Rosenbach, who was responsible for the defensive end, naturally bore the brunt of being the villain.

Of course, he was the one closest to Albelda.

It is obligatory.

However, his foul was still half a beat late.

Albelda had already poked the ball out.

Because it was too hasty, the pass was not accurate, so Aiello needed to turn around and meet Miguel Garcia who reacted.

Let’s compete for this ball together.

Aiello and Miguel Garcia are both about the same distance from the ball, but who can touch the ball earlier depends on which of them has a faster start-up speed and more explosive power.

However, as Valencia's fastest horse, Aiello naturally had the advantage in this regard.

The five-meter distance passed in the blink of an eye.

Miguel Garcia knew that he would definitely not be able to take control of the ball, so he was very Smart choice to call a foul.

And Aiello, who only focused on football, did not notice that Miguel Garcia, who started at the same time as him, was not rushing towards the football but towards him.

Therefore, when he first touched football , he also kicked the foot of Miguel Garcia, who fell to the ground for a foul.

Aiello, who fell to the ground, immediately jumped up from the turf, raised his arms toward the referee, and complained. beep Immediately, the referee blew his whistle and ran to Miguel Garcia, who committed the foul, and also showed him a yellow card.

Miguel Garcia did not protest against this penalty, but stepped back and followed Ricardo's arrangements to arrange the wall.

Valencia received a free kick in the frontcourt about thirty meters away from the goal.

"This is an opportunity for Valencia.

Both Albelda and Aimar are experts in free kicks.

They have both performed many direct free kicks to score goals.

Well, Ai also ran up and seemed to be competing with them.

What are they discussing, so who will take the free kick?"

s: Please vote.

Anyway, this guy refreshes every day.

I beg you:
