456 Chapter 456

In the corner flag area, the forehead of the blue and white No. 18 with mixed blonde short hair against the forehead of the blue and white No. 10 with short silver hair, and the QPR fans in the lower stands of this area bouncing wildly or holding up their phones can clearly see Patrick Amber slapping Benjamin Hamilton in the face with his hand, and the live camera gives Patrick's lip sync, and even collects part of the sound. What Patrick said was, "That'sboy!!that'sboy!!" and all the QPR players except Hans had come around.

Undoubtedly, the goal put the restless atmosphere of the new Queen's Park away.

After Lu Ling stared at the ball into the net, he clenched his fists hard, and couldn't help shouting "fantastic". Then she immediately turned around and hugged the teaching assistant. When she let go of Tim, she took a deep breath and looked at the field. fantastic, not only about the goal, but also about the time it comes. If it weren't for Germany, maybe she would be more optimistic about the impact this timing could have.

The celebratory players on the field gradually dispersed. Ben ran along the sideline. Lu Ling knew what would happen next. She smiled at him and opened her arms to her players in front of countless fans and countless cameras.

Benjamin hugged her, and he wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her off the ground for two seconds. She patted him on the back, complimenting him and reminding him that it was time to let go of her. Benjamin's lips brushed against the soft side of her face and whispered something in her ear.

Then, the blue and white No. 10, who scored the goal, immediately let go of the coach and ran to the field. However, he couldn't help but look back. There was no special expression on her face. Of course not, not in the here and now. It's just that when he returned to his position, Pat glanced at him a little gloomily. León also looked at him, and the Uruguayan's expression was indescribable, although they also shook hands after the goal.

Three minutes later, the half-time whistle blew. The QPR managed to bring the score to 1:0 to halftime.

Lu Ling walked towards the players' tunnel.

****

Nathan Neal returned to the box and picked up the ** and poured it back for a few minutes, while Simon closed the curtains. The owner and CEO revisited the goal. It was a brilliant goal, and Nathan Neal felt that even the rest of the players on the pitch played a role in the attack, but it was Pat and Ben who were the two biggest contributors to the goal.

"At least our king already has an assist. Simon laughed.

Nathan Neal paused as Benjamin hugged Christine, he immediately pressed on, but paused again when Benjamin turned back, and then he fast-forwarded to the live stream, where the guests at the BT Sport studio were about to analyze the first half.

During this process, the CEO still smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, many players will hug Christine after scoring a goal." But Hamilton's new hairstyle is really ...... It's impressive. It seems to have brought him good luck. ”

Hugging Christine is really not a big deal, and even the gesture that looks like a kiss is not a big deal, but the moment Ben looks back is very weird. Looking back, Blue and White No. 10 was a little worried in his eyes. If everything really wasn't a big deal, why was he worried, what was he worried about? Christine was angry? That's interesting. Nathan Neal didn't tell Simon his reasoning. Anyway, the worst is that Benjamin likes Christine. He was confident that Christine would handle the matter. Don't make any drama about sending Trek and Benjamin to fight for their own head coach.

The American boss pressed his silence and turned back to Simon and said: "Now public opinion is still mixed with criticism and support, and I tend to continue to wait and see." I'm going to talk to Christine herself after the Carabao Cup final. I wonder what you think?"

Simon shrugged: "My opinion is that we can't move those two people right now. Taking it a step further, even if we wanted one of them to leave, the one who left couldn't be Christine. Even the fans know that Patrick can't possibly be after we get rid of Christine......" Simon laughed as he said this, "If I were Patrick, I wouldn't take this." It's such a delicate thing that you could say that these two are threatening the whole club and even everyone to accept their romance on the basis of their own ability, but I can't think of any particularly good reason to object to it - other than the term 'office romance'. Even this argument is not very convincing. ”

Nathan Neal nodded, "Yes, I agree." Let's say we want to fire Christine or sell Patrick, but that's a pointless assumption, and if either of these two people goes wrong, our grades will go wrong. Do I want my team to have a problem?"

Simon poured the boss a glass of champagne and handed it over. Nathan Neal didn't answer, waved his hand in thanks. Simon had already felt strange that Nate hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol today. But instead of asking, he said, "So it might be a good idea to stay on the sidelines." It's just that this matter has to be planned for the long term after all. Simon thought of one thing when he said this, "You invited Christine back and bought Patrick back, you couldn't have predicted today's situation. ”

Nathan Neal frowned and didn't speak.

Simon thought for a few seconds and wanted to continue, but he looked at the boss's face and dismissed the thought. Nate's attitude on this matter has always been subtle.

****

Home team dressing room.

Lu Ling looked at Phil. 'We're going to create more chances in the second half, so you and León have to interact with each other and do what we did before the game. ”

Phil touched his chin. "OK, no problem. ”

Tim turned to Patrick. But the TA is speaking to everyone. "A lot of Bayern players are tall and can run, but they are also easy to shake. Pat, Leon, it's important for you to feint after you get the ball, but don't drag it out. In addition, Neuer has been injured in his left foot for several years, and he is likely to lack power in the second half, so try to keep him busy, try to hit his right hand, and remember to make changes. ”

As soon as Tim's voice fell, Lu Ling took over again, "I don't want to lose the ball. But we also have to attack and be patient at the same time. Her eyes swept over everyone, and she asked aloud, "Do you understand?"

Everyone responded in unison.

****

Phil Beasley knows it's time for him to play. After spending so much time with the owner, he also somewhat understands that even if he doesn't score goals on the field, he has to help his teammates tactically. To put it simply, it is to exert one's ability to "cause trouble". In the first half, the boss seemed to be more worried about positioning, defense, and things like that, but according to what she said at halftime, she could let go of the running position in the second half.

So, after a few moves, Phil came to Kimmich's side.

Kimmyo is not tall. Therefore, if Phil comes over, then Felix Gotze, a centre-back on this side, could also be brought out.

And so it was.

The high ball flew in, it was Ian's pass, and it was comfortable with spin and angle. Phil chested forward, acting as a cushion, and stopped the ball. Kimmich was carried behind him, and Felix Gotze came up but was a little slower to get his hands on the ball.

Phil unloaded the ball at his feet, spread his arms, and secretly carried Felix Gotze hard at the approach. The German took a step back, and just then, Gonzalo Chica duly cut in from the left touchline.

Phil makes the ball with his heel. Oh, what a great idea, he was a little proud.

As a result, the ball was blocked by Kimmich's leg.

Phil was annoyed, the ball bounced back, and he immediately carried it hard and stabbed it forward again. Fortunately, Gonzalo's ability to control his speed was very strong, and he slowed down and waited for Phil's first mistake, and the ball was still in place.

Moreover, Felix Gotze and Kimmici, the two were pinned down by Phil alone. Gonzalo had a lot of space, and instead of rushing to cross, he went straight to the penalty area.

Bayern defender Niklas Dosch moves in and Gonzalo crosses. Throw more feet - but the nimble Spaniards are just shaking. After this dunk, Gonzalo opted to cross the ball with his right foot on the ground.

Patrick followed, but only missed the ball.

It was the right wing-back Jacob Harding, who really hit the back at high speed.

****

Lu felt the cold wind blowing, and she also felt the heat exuding from her body. Jake's lunging shot hit the side-netting. Still, that's exactly what QPR wants to play.

In a later attack, it was Leon who moved to the left, with Phil in the middle. The same line of thought is directed at Kimisi, only this time not for his physique, but for his characteristics that are not intrinsically wingbacks.

She has told Leon that if Kimisi is defeated, Bayern's attack on the right side will be missing an important point. Kimmich's rotation with Coman and Dosch is an important routine in Bayern's attack on the right side.

If this routine is played, Kimmich's position will become more conservative, so after Bayern's right-side routine is broken, Shaaffle will not be able to calmly dispatch left and right.

The reason why she chose to take out this strategy in the second half is, firstly, because of caution, she needs to make some measurements first, after all, Leon and Phil are constantly moving in a large area, and this will have some impact on the rigor of the system. Second, she doesn't want to give Nagelsmann time to prepare, and take it out immediately after half-time, so that she can maximize the probability of winning when the opponent can't deal with it.

On the field, Leon chose to force the outside line to pass. He got past Kimisi, and Felix Gotze was clearly hesitant to come up this time. Lu Ling saw that this time Gonzalo walked inside without the ball - the characteristics of the QPR left wingback who are flexible and mobile, both inside and outside, are also an important guarantee that this attack plan can keep up in the follow-up.

Leon gave Gonzalo. Gonzalo opted for a direct left-footed cross. When the ball reached the back post, Phil took to the air, rushed towards the ball, and smashed the ball into the goal.

Neuer moved quickly and lifted the ball over the crossbar.

At the beginning of the second half, Bayern was bombarded with QPR.

Lu Ling's original intention has been realized, and now the team needs to take advantage of this momentum to score a second goal.

****

However, fifteen minutes passed.

Patrick had two shots on goal in those fifteen minutes and delivered a dangerous pass to Leon. The team's possession during this period was dominant. All of this meant that the tactics worked completely, except that Manuel Neuer did not have the same problems as the assistant coach had predicted at half-time. The tall German goalkeeper is still solid and has not given QPR anything to chance.

Patrick counted quickly. QPR had already created six or seven good chances since the start of the second half.

The score is still 1:0.

Benjamin was given more freedom of possession. Robin Saffle no longer seemed to be deliberately restricting Ben's handling of the ball in the second half, but began to wander outside the overall defense. Patrick was upset by this.

He looked to the sidelines. Bayern's young coach looked a little nervous, his face flushed, and he kept giving instructions to the field. But Robin Schauffle looks completely unaffected by the manager's emotions.

Patrick asks John for the ball, then to Benjamin, and then forward. Robin Schauffer looked lazily running towards Benjamin. Benjamin passed the ball forward smoothly and then to Patrick.

The feeling of unease continued, and Patrick glanced at Ben, who felt, too.

Patrick continued to organize, but was on his toes. He played the ball to Gonzalo on the left.

Leon and Phil switched positions again. It's just that this time, the two seem to let each other go-

The continuous transposition may have caused the two to be sluggish for half a second at the same time. This is normal, and it is easy to have a temporary break after a period of siege.

But Bayern is not sluggish.

Under the shouts of Jule and Neuer, Bayern quickly closed the formation, and the space that had just come out was gone.

They were running so fast and so spotty.

Leon still received the ball. According to the requirements of the head coach and assistant coach, he did not rush to break through this time. Facing Felix Gotze, his upper body shook violently and then started to the left.

The other party followed. So, when Leon slammed the outside instep in the opposite direction of the middle, Götze was completely pinned to the ground. Leon shook off his opponent and continued to lead to the middle.

Patrick saw a figure speeding past him, and he wanted to shout, but it was too late.

Robin Saffle poked the ball away from Leon's feet with a touch of his toes, and then the ball went to Züller's feet.

The tall German centre-back used his strong body to fend off Leon's ensuing up-and-rolls, before feeding the ball forward to Schaffre.

Patrick took a step forward and immediately stood in front of Saffle. He's a lot taller than his opponents. As Saffle lowered his center of gravity, Patrick did the same.

In this position close to the Bayern penalty area, if they can get the ball back, they can launch a second wave of attacks immediately.

Saffle didn't wait for Patrick to get closer. He pumped straight at the ball, which went up with a sharp spin – a long ball of great power.

The ball eventually landed precisely on the head of centre-forward Moussa Dembele, who headed it down to Koeman. Coman took two steps and was brought down by the up-and-coming JT.

The offensive momentum of the QPR was broken.

Bayern hit near their penalty area.

Patrick frowned.

****

"Genk, get ready to play. Lu Ling shouted. The Dutch have warmed up.

The game is close to 70 minutes. The team's offensive rhythm was disrupted, and the game returned to a close parity.

Leon looked out of breath, and the guy was a little too close to himself after that break, running and scrambling so much that he lost a lot of energy.

After the ball went out of bounds, Leon Ferreira was replaced by Henk De Graaf, who had returned from injury.

The game has entered this stage, Lu Ling must consider, maybe 1:0 is a good result.

Robin Schauffer, who kept watching as he hit the QPR slams, has now been re-engaged. He led at least three Bayern counter-attacks, making it impossible for QPR to press without scruples.

She saw that Benjamin was also a little struggling. This matchup with Robin Schauffer is indeed going to be very stressful – the opponent is too smart and too agile. The thought of replacing Ben flashed through her, but she immediately rejected the idea.

Robin Schaffle has only attempted two dribbles so far in this game. It's a bit of a small amount for a player who has been hailed as a superstar. More often than not, he's dictating the game with his movements, passes and possession. He also played differently in the first and second halves.

In fact, QPR's attack in the second half should have produced a goal as a matter of common sense. But neither Benjamin nor Ian seemed afraid to rush to throw Saffle to support. Maybe it's just Pat, Leon and Phil who are unlucky in front of goal, maybe it's just a man or half a man missing. It's just that, perhaps, it is precisely because Schafler has always been ghostly dangling in the backfield of the QPR.

Everything is maybe.

Maybe she will have a clearer understanding of this game after watching it again.

Of course, the game isn't over yet. She just didn't like the feeling that the well-planned plan had fallen through, even though the score was still leading.

Genk can contribute more on the defensive end. In addition, he can form a real one-high-one-fast combination with Phil. There is a certain uncertainty about Genk's form, but he is the one she has to come up with at this time.

Thank God Genk came on and was in good shape.

He brings extra energy to QPR's front court. His blistering pace and hunger for the box sent the Bayern defence back ten yards and helped QPR regain some dominance.

The time is ticking. The atmosphere at the new Queen's Park has ebbed and flowed with the team's momentum, and now the emotions of the fans are back on the rise.

Lu Ling is going to wait a little longer before considering switching to Marcelo and Brill Embolo. At present, she does not want to rush into this three-centre-back system.

****

Benjamin felt tired. It's mental, but it also affects the body's response.

It had been about 80 minutes, and he felt his heart contract and relax violently, and he even felt the sound of blood rushing to his ears. This affected his thinking and movements. He understands the changes that can occur in the human body in high-intensity, high-concentration competitions, and he can't get rid of them for a while.

Bayern brought 32-year-old Lewandowski on the pitch and replaced Kimmich with the intention of attacking with all their might.

At this point, Robin Schauffle withdrew again. He retreated to near the centre circle and reached for the ball. Benjamin immediately followed, reaching out and keeping an arm's length from the other.

When the Germans passed Benjamin, no one expected it.

The little man's movements still seemed languid, as he did sometime in the second half. He had two dribbles in the game, once at the start and once late in the first half. In the second half, he didn't try to break through his opponent once.

This sudden action, even Benjamin was deceived.

In the space of one second, Robin Saffle touched the ball about three times. His body began to turn sharply the moment he received the ball. The ball passed between Benjamin's legs, and Saffle himself crossed Benjamin's left-hand side.

Then Shafle struck the middle like a sudden cannonball.

The first to go up was John behind Benjamin. Saffle made a sharp stop, pressing his center of gravity with all his might - he was short enough, but he was full of muscles, and John was caught off guard and carried straight away.

Benjamin's physical reflexes and ability to think came back in an instant. He saw Saffle shoot and David Luiz had already flown in to block -

But Benjamin knew it wasn't a shot. No reasoning, pure intuition.

Moussa Dembele and Kingsley Coman cut in from left to right.

It's a pass. If you send it over, it will be a single knife, or even a double single knife.

It's a pass.

Ian threw the whole man on Saffle. The young Bayern star was pounced on the line of the penalty area.

The referee showed a yellow card.

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. Ian, like him, judged. But if you can't break the ball or intercept it, you can only foul, and it is a foul with a big move, otherwise the little man will still be able to send the ball through the seam. In that case, Dembele and Koeman could face Hans together......

Shafre, who was put down by Ian, hugged his ankle and convulsed in pain. At the moment of his fall, he seemed to be trying to force the ball out, but he twisted his left ankle. He was treated on the pitch by Bayern's team doctor.

Benjamin could feel the decrease in air pressure around him. On a chilling February night, Robin Saffle easily broke through his own and John's defences and then came close to delivering passes that could help them equalise in the most densely packed area of the QPR defence.

Patrick walked up to Benjamin and said calmly, "It's not your responsibility. He's a tough guy. But I think you're picking yourself up. ”

Benjamin looked at Patrick. He suddenly remembered that his youngest sister, Debra, who was not yet fifteen years old, pointed to Patrick on the TV screen and said to himself, "Pater is handsome and sexy, and sometimes he does look like the lead singer of the boy band, but he has some mysterious and dangerous air. You don't know what his next expression will be, blink or smile crookedly, or get angry...... "Benjamin didn't take it to heart at the time, little girls can like Patrick-Amber for a million reasons. But at this moment, Benjamin suddenly felt that Debra was right.

That's how Patrick Amber plays. He sits somewhere between predictability and unpredictability. And, his attitude towards himself is the same, between tolerance and warning.

Benjamin felt his throat dry, but only nodded and did not speak. And something unpredictable appeared in Pat's eyes.

****

Shafre, who had been treated, had gotten up and appeared to be fine. He will take the free-kick.

Regular time is nearing its end. Twenty yards from goal, the little German's brown eyes looked at the wall of QPR.

Then, he took a few steps back.

Nathan Neil Lawrence watched the scene from the stands.

The wall is roughly tilted to the right hand side of Hans, and Hans himself stands on the left-hand side.

Ian himself was standing in the wall, moving at Hans's command.

In fact, Nathan Nill didn't fully see it before and didn't understand it very well. He knows, however, that the Scot rarely commits reckless fouls, and there must be a reason for the yellow card that ended up being booked.

This distance, although close, is not necessarily easy to handle. Nathan Neal has seen enough football games to know that twenty yards is a bit close if the ball has to go over the wall and land in time to get into the goal.

Underfoot, and underfoot. Some free-kick takers will choose to shoot the ball low and flat when the wall jumps, passing under the foot of the wall, catching the goalkeeper off guard.

Maybe Schauffer will do the same.

Nathan Neil's palms were a little sweaty.

Saffle stood about ten yards from the ball, still looking at the wall opposite. The referee's whistle blows, signaling that it is time to begin.

Schafler kicked the ball forward vigorously.

The ball smashed into the human wall well. Ian tried to clear the ball as soon as possible, but the ball hit his thigh level and bounced back so hard that it was difficult to kick.

Schauffer was launched.

He seemed to anticipate – or deliberately orchestrate the rebound of the ball. Ian was the quickest to react, pounced on the front, and all five of the men who made up the wall were ready to block a second shot.

Nathan Neal saw that Ian had rushed in front of Saffle. Only this time, the Germans have already stepped into the box. If there is another foul, Ian will be sent off, and it will be a penalty.

The boss of the QPR did not see Schaffle's movements at that moment. But he saw what was behind:

The ball was stuffed behind the wall, and Lewandowski went straight behind him and volleyed hard -

At 86 minutes, the score became 1:1.

Nathan Neil's expression was included in the live camera, and the QPR boss's face was not so good-looking.

It was an away goal. Appearing at this time, it is suffocating.

Nathan Nill was unmoved by the figure on the sidelines.

****

Patrick saw the whole thing, he wasn't in the wall, he was on the other side of the box. The moment Ian stepped up, Saffle made a very small smash move, and Ian had only two options: close his foot, or foul and send a penalty.

Saffle finished with his right foot and then gave the ball over with his left foot.

Schauffle had previously been stopped by Ian once for a through stop, and the Germans insisted on completing the through stopper.

Saffle's free kick deliberately hit the wall, and the ball will most likely bounce back from the wall. Schauffle is extremely agile and confident that he can get the second point. Moreover, he improvised and took advantage of Ian's psychology that he did not dare to foul again, and sent a through plug to Lewandowski in the smallest gap and in the shortest time.

Patrick's lips curled a little, and to be honest, Saffle's "play", he could also play. Probably, some players are conceited about their physical technique and consciousness to a certain extent, and the way of thinking will show a certain similarity.

The two teams regained their footing near the center circle.

Benjamin heard Patrick tell Phil and Henk to cut in as soon as he kicked off. The two were a little confused, but agreed.

Then Patrick came over again and said to Benjamin, "Give me a ground ball, Ben." ”

When the whistle blew, Patrick knocked the ball back and immediately took a few steps forward.

Ben made a short pass to the ground in the direction where Patrick was. Bayern midfielder Tolisso has pressed quickly.

The moment the ball reached his feet, Patrick swiped his left foot across the turf, flicked it up, and lifted it from his side to the top of his head—and over Tolisso's.

A graceful, seven-foot-high arc was drawn.

Beneath the arc, Patrick brushed his opponent like the wind, stepping forward with the white line of the center circle.

Just past the centre circle, about forty-five yards from the goal......

Benjamin watched as the blonde man met the falling ball and volleyed it with his left foot.

It was a shot like Thor's hammer slamming. Benjamin's first instinct was this.

It wasn't the first time Patrick had shot from this distance.

But at this point, it was only a minute after the goal was conceded, maybe less than a minute. Significant.

It's a response, a statement, a declaration that can't be more arrogant.

Benjamin could hear the screaming of the ball as it crossed the night sky.

Like an unrecognizable ghost, the sudden shot flew towards the Bayern goal. Neuer jumped, the tip of his right finger touching the ball maybe or not, and the ball hit the crossbar with a bang and bounced back.

Phil and Henk had already rushed up. At the same time, the voice from the sidelines came from the whirring wind, and it was she who was shouting, making everyone press.

Benjamin immediately ran forward.

Phil rushed to the spot, but only had time to push the ball down the left flank. Bayern's players are also chasing back like crazy. Gonzalo picked up the ball on the left and crossed to Benjamin's middle.

Benjamin didn't answer, he caught a glimpse of the figure, and he let the ball slip under his feet.

Patrick got the ball.

Benjamin thought he would have a second long-range shot, but not as he thought.

Patrick Amber, who had just made a declaration with an ultra-long-range volley, was now turned into a sharp knife and stabbed straight into Bayern's heartland.

Perhaps in other periods, it wasn't so easy – Bayern's defence was very disciplined and well-organized. But now everyone seemed to be stunned by that crazy shot, and then they were rushed by the QPR all the desperate pressure.

Starting from receiving the ball from 30 yards from goal, Patrick accelerated to break through Bayern's midfield line and then took two more steps to penetrate Bayern's dense back line. There is a slight change of direction in the middle, but the speed is almost unslow.

It's a one-man performance.

There are performances you will never get used to, and every time, it is a shock.

Alaba chased back, collided with Jule, and collapsed behind Patrick.

Patrick volleys the ball towards goal. Neuer's attack was in vain.

2:1!

The curtain call was the blue-and-white 18, who pointed his hands at two right angles to the dark night sky, and kissed the tattoo of the Queen of Spades on his left arm amid volcanic applause and cheers, before his teammates went up to hug him. 166 Reading Network
