Chapter 2018 Farias' Solo Dance

After Hu Lai scored a goal, it was Catalan United's turn to kick off.

They were not in a hurry to drive the football out. The captain of the team, Kabangka, stood in the middle circle, with the football under his feet, and made a gesture to his teammates, signaling them to be steady and take control.

"Kabangka is such a good player!"

Seeing this, the assistant coach of the Madrid Pirates, **** Valentin, said with emotion.

"Reilly Vicente is also a good coach," Parotti said. "Although he conceded two goals, he didn't panic. The coach kept his composure and the players calmed down. It makes sense for them to win the Champions League last season. If they can really knock us out in this game , then I think they can also successfully defend their title."

"I don't expect them to successfully defend their title..." second assistant coach Enzo Naher said.

Parotti smiled and didn't continue talking.

It's not something you want or don't want.

"Come on, pirate!"

"Go Pirates!"

When the game resumed, the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands became more and more excited. They shouted hoarsely and cheered for their team.

It would be a remarkable achievement to come back from three goals behind.

For the Madrid Pirates team, which is at a trough, this reversal victory seems to be a shot in the arm. Maybe with the victory of this game, the atmosphere inside the team can be reversed.

Amidst their cheering, the Madrid Pirates launched a fierce attack on the Catalan goal.

Hu Lai shot from a long distance and was saved by Toni Shulman.

Vukovic's supplementary shot misses.

Farias got rid of the penalty area continuously and caused chaos. Unfortunately, his last shot was not powerful due to the close interference of his opponent, and was easily saved by Catalan goalkeeper Shulman.

Juan Ramirez fired a long-range shot from outside the box but was body-blocked by Catalan striker Reynaldo Lima.

Even the team's forwards retreated to the front of the penalty area to defend, which shows how fierce the Madrid Pirates' offensive is.

But from another perspective, this also shows how hard the Catalan players can fight in order to defend this goal lead-even the forwards have turned into defensive players.

When a giant is so united, it is not an easy task to defeat them.

Once the ball came to the Catalan United, they were not in a hurry to pass forward, but used their excellent passing ability to pass the football back and forth.

The Madrid Pirates were not polite to them either. Seeing them in the middle and backcourt, they rushed to the high position to press down.

Will this cause a lot of gaps in the defense behind him?

of course.

But the Madrid Pirates players can't control that much.

There is not much time left in the game. If you don't go all out and come out with all your strength, how can you create a miracle?

After Farias retracted, the corridor on the left gave way to Ion Martinez.

When Joaquin Vela had the ball in midfield, he was running in from behind at high speed.

Bella passed the football to him and he slid it forward while catching it and started to accelerate!

Kabanka came over to compete with him for speed.

Facing Kabangka, who was not slow, Ion sprinted for about 20 meters without getting rid of him.

Kabanka was not easily fooled, but turned around with the same sudden stop, and continued to be stuck inside Ion.

After Ion cut in, he used the instep of his left foot to push the football out, changed direction again, and continued to turn to the baseline.

Then he stopped dribbling the ball, but swung his left foot and passed the football to the goal.

In front of the goal, Farias grabbed the front point, and Hou Lai ran in the middle.

Farias barely hit the ball at the front point, and the football went directly above the crossbar.

He Feng shouted with regret and dissatisfaction: "Farias should have missed this ball! He is not good at heading!"

Although even after Farias missed the ball, Hou Lai may not be able to score under the close defense of Paul Fortune.

But He Feng was a little upset, thinking that Farias had robbed Hu Lai of a must-goal opportunity.

If Farias hadn't grabbed the header, maybe the Madrid Pirates would have evened the score...

It's normal for He Feng to think so.

Because in front of the goal, Hu Lai has the power to turn decay into magic, and the more unfavorable the situation is for him, the more it seems that there is no chance, the more he can score goals.

Who dares to say that Hu Lai may not be able to score this ball?

Then you let Hu Lai kick it!

Ion Martinez, who was in the cross, spread his hands and made a very dissatisfied gesture-he was looking for Hou Lai with this ball, why are you Farias joining in the fun? It's obviously not a biography for you, can you not force it if you have to do it? Now it seems that I didn't pass it well...

※※※

During this period of time, the Madrid pirates were very aggressive, and the Catalan United did not fight back.

Even when the ball is at their feet, they just pass it back and forth.

There is no rush to pass forward, especially no rush to pass directly.

I have to say that the pass control ability of the Catalan players is indeed outstanding.

Although the Madrid Pirates also play this game, but no one is more proficient in Catalan United.

Using skillful passing, the Catalan United dragged the game time by one minute and one second.

As long as they pass the ball up, there will be boos from Buccaneers fans in the stands.

Everyone knows what the Catalan United want to do.

It's just trying to procrastinate.

With a one-goal lead in hand, there are more than ten minutes left in the game, and they will win if they drag it over.

There is absolutely no need to take risks at this time.

If the opponents of Catalan United were other teams, perhaps they would not choose such a conservative approach, and would definitely take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent to attack and steal another one.

In fact, with the Madrid Pirates, Rayleigh Vicente thought so at the beginning.

As a result, stealing chickens failed to lose money, and the sneak attack failed. Instead, the Madrid Pirates seized the opportunity of a counterattack and scored the goal.

The key is that the Madrid Pirates have a very efficient shooter Hu Lai.

If it weren't for Hu Lai, he certainly wouldn't be so cautious...

Now, even if he was ridiculed by the Madrid media after the game that this is not like the Catalan football style, Vicente will do the same.

Nothing is more important than winning.

Raleigh Vicente looked up and took another look at the game time on the big screen.

The eighty-fifth minute of the game.

Five minutes to go into stoppage time.

There may be seven or eight minutes of stoppage time.

Add up to no more than fifteen minutes.

After counting the time, Vicente frowned.

This time is still too generous for the Madrid Pirates who only need to score one goal...

※※※

Nestor Farias looked around, all of them were Catalan players.

Although Parotti kept him on the court and let him play forward.

But this position is actually not suitable for his own performance, at least Farias himself doesn't like it.

He still likes to move on the wing, and not only on the front line, he also likes to move deep.

Because in this way there are more opportunities to get the ball, and there is enough space for him to dribble.

On the contrary, in the penalty area, he may not even be able to receive the ball.

Even if received, it is easy to lose.

Not free at all.

He's a winger, not a center forward.

He decided not to listen to Parotti's arrangement, but let his position be more flexible.

For example, I retreated to the midfield to ask for the ball.

Farias runs from the penalty area.

Seeing him retreat, the Catalan players remained motionless and did not follow.

At this time, maintaining the integrity of the team's formation is the top priority in defense.

Farias, who retreated to the midfield, asked for the ball first.

No teammate passed the football to him.

The Madrid Pirates used a strong attack in the middle, but failed.

So I had to re-pass the football and look for opportunities.

Seeing that the Pirates were starting to sway in midfield again, Farias raised his hand for the ball again.

This time the ball was finally passed to his feet.

It was now eighty-nine minutes.

The fourth official held up the stoppage time sign on the sidelines and, as Rayleigh Vicente guessed, seven minutes of stoppage time.

Plus the last minute of regular game time.

The time left for both parties is these eight minutes.

"There are still eight minutes in the game! The Madrid Pirates must score at least one goal in these eight minutes to hope to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

"Eight minutes! Only need to hold on for another eight minutes, Catalan United will be able to eliminate the Madrid Pirates and reach the semi-finals!"

The commentators who support the Madrid Pirates and the Catalan United have diametrically opposed tones about the same thing.

After Joaquin Bella passed the football to Farias, he ran to widen the angle, and then raised his hand to signal Farias to pass the ball back.

After all, there are Catalan players beside Farias, and their young midfielder Javier Ballena is in front of Farias.

Farias stopped the ball and faced a frontal interception by Javier Ballena.

At this time, the football should be passed over, and then look for opportunities again.

But Farias didn't do that.

He flicks the ball inside with the outside instep of his right foot, as if to cut inside.

Javier Ballena then moved laterally and continued to get stuck in front of Farias.

Seeing that the opponent did not get rid of it so easily, Farias used the heel of his right foot to knock the football back from behind the left foot that supported his body.

Then turn around and move the football forward.

Ballena quickly turned around and came back, chasing after him.

Farias' speed is not very fast, because there is another Catalan player in front, the team's right back Giovanni Petrik.

If Farias really picked up the speed and accelerated the ball, it is very likely that the football will go directly to Patrick's feet.

In addition, there is Kabangka on the inside.

Kabanka, Petrik and Ballena, forming a three-man defensive formation, stuck Farias on the touchline.

If this is a Go duel, then the **** Farias has already been eaten.

The most correct thing for Farias at this moment is to pass the football out.

Joaquín Bella was running just outside the three Catalan players, raising his hands and chanting: "Pass out, Farias! Pass the ball!"

Farias, as if he didn't hear it, still ran up to Patrick with the ball.

When Patrick saw this, he planned to fight Farias here. He stepped forward and stretched out his foot to steal the ball!

Seeing that Petrik kicked first, Farias stopped suddenly when he was about to hit the opponent. He made a feint shot with his right foot and swiped over the football first, before Petrik's foot stabbed the football. , using the outer instep of his right foot to push the football a little further, and just like that, it swayed Petrik away.

The Catalan right back couldn't stop the car and almost ran out of the touchline.

Originally, Ballena was chasing back at high speed, but Farias made an emergency stop and changed direction, and Patrick was shaken and lost his balance. Ballena also slammed on the brakes, then turned around and stabbed the football.

He thought that when Farias was dealing with Patrick, it was impossible to make effective ball control in a short time.

Patrick almost slipped out of the sideline because of inertia.

Then Farias, who also stopped suddenly, will definitely be affected by inertia.

He was right. The sudden stop and shaking of Petrick did make Farias unstable. His body leaned to the left, and his center of gravity was far away from the football. If you want to keep the ball, it will be difficult...

But when Ballena raised his foot, Farias pushed the football straight with his right foot when his body's center of gravity was biased to the left...

The football passed through Ballena's crotch!

At the same time, Farias stumbled out from between Ballena and Patrick!

The cheers from the Pirates Park suddenly exploded.

After breaking through the siege, Farias accelerated towards the football.

He's going to race Kabanka!

Let's see who can get the ball first!

In the end, Farias was slightly better, he rushed the football out before Kabanka. And Kabanka stretched out his foot and kicked in the air, staggered himself, lost his balance, and completely lost the defensive target.

"Farias! Farias! Farias! Beautiful! Farias—!!"

Spanish commentator Alvarez Sanchez kept exclaiming Farias' name louder and louder each time.

Like the cheers in the stands, one wave was higher than the other.

At this time, Farias had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Going up to defend him was Catalan midfielder Dino Souza~lightnovelpub.net~ Seeing his teammates in the Argentine national team, Farias first made a move to speed up the slash and dribble the ball down the bottom , after deceiving Sosa's center of gravity to shift to the bottom line, he then used the outer instep of his right foot to gently push the football to the inside...

Sosa rushed over.

While Farias and Sosa were one-on-one, Hou Lai slashed forward and made a gesture for the ball.

Farias still didn't pass the ball. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of Hu Lai to drive forward to take away the central defender Paul Fortune and another central defender Miguel Diaz, and cut inward laterally!

At this time, even if Sousa, who was shaken by him, wanted to chase back, he was blocked by his two teammates and Hu Lai.

He could only watch as Farias threw off all the defenses, faced goalkeeper Tone Schulman, swung his right foot, and shot!

The football flew to the near corner of the goal against the turf!

Goalkeeper Shulman originally guessed that he would hit the far corner. Faced with such a shot, he was not prepared enough and temporarily changed his body's center of gravity to pounce back, but it was still a bit short...

The football flew past his fingertips and crashed into the net!
