Chapter 172: The Game Finally Begins (1)
"Do you have someone else to replace me, or do you also think I'm incompetent? For me, this game is only starting now!" Uribe was momentarily speechless.
Ai Huan was not wrong, and the game had taken a new turn when he was not on the pitch, and Barcelona finally took the lead. Elche's players saw that everyone had no mind when they saw Ai Huan end up, and they didn't even have the most basic scramble, just watching Barcelona attack casually.
Xavi and Andres Iniesta's collision with the wall interacted easily past Pedro, and then Xavi easily crossed the ball into the box, but Henry didn't squander it this time, calmly pushing the ball into the bottom left corner of the net and sending the ball into Elche's net. However, at this time, everyone seemed a little absent-minded, so Henry didn't have the heart to celebrate, and walked directly back to his half.
The fans on the field also shouted a few times listlessly, today's game is too weird, and the fans' emotions are really at a loss.
After Elche kicked off, the ball was soon given to Barcelona again, and this time Barcelona's attack was still the same as before, looking listless, a few people just passed the ball near the center circle, even they thought that the next should be garbage time, just end the game as soon as possible and go home.
But at this time, I suddenly heard a cheer from the north stand, and then this cheer quickly infected the entire stadium, except for the south stand, almost everyone else applauded, and when several Barcelona players looked to the sidelines, they found that Ai Huan had already stood on the sidelines and raised his hand to signal that he was ready to enter the field.
He had already changed into a clean jersey, which looked even more dazzling at this time, and the referee also saw him make a gesture of agreement, and Ai Huan immediately came on the field.
Xavi controlled the football and finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this person can still play, it means that things are not big, then there should not be so much verbal criticism after the game, and their pressure should be less.
As soon as I was happy, my feet slowed down a little, but at this moment, I saw a white light and shadow lightning coming towards him, it was Ai Huan, who had just come on the field. He was nervous and hurriedly pushed the ball out, wanting to pass it to nearby Alves, but Ai Huan seemed to have expected this result, rushing to him was just a feint, just when the football was just out, Ai Huan had already made a flying tackle to break the ball, and then immediately passed to Estrada, who was closely following, and he immediately stepped forward, almost at the same time Elche at least five people started at the same time, and the speed of switching from defense to attack suddenly increased, not at all like just now.
In fact, when Ai Huan played again, Estrada and the others already felt their blood boiling, and it was only at this time that they could be regarded as entering a state of war with Ai, and the game could only be regarded as really starting at this time.
Estrada's pass was high and floating, but it was enough to make Ai Huan's speed play, several Barcelona defenders could only follow Ai Huan forward but didn't know how to defend such a player who didn't have the ball at all, Pique was a little nervous when he saw Ai Huan coming, and he looked at Puyol next to him while retreating. At this time, Puyol is focusing on the ball falling down in the air, and he wants to destroy it before Ai Huan.
Those who ran with Ai Huan had already been overtaken by him in only three or five steps, and Pique could only watch him rush in front of him, and he had no choice but to push up hard, but Ai Huan simply ignored his existence, and lightning swept past him.
In desperation, he could only stretch his legs back, wanting to trip Ai Huan, but this was simply cranky, his legs were hooked in the air, but such a strange action made him lose his center of gravity in an instant, and he fell to the ground directly with a, but this time Ai Huan was at least a meter away from him, as long as he was not blind, he would definitely not think that he was pulled down.
At this time, the football had fallen, Puyol's legs were raised and went straight to the football, as long as he hooked the football, it would fly out of the danger zone, watching the football fall little by little, Puyol's heart felt a little bit of joy.
At this moment, time passed very slowly, and the football slowly fell a little bit, and it was about to touch his leg, but at this time, Puyol suddenly saw another leg flashing out from the side, the speed of that leg completely broke his own timeline, so fast that people couldn't believe it, that leg kicked the football one step ahead of him, almost at this moment Puyol felt that his leg was kicked on that leg, but the football still flew towards the goal.
Valdés had been watching the situation on the field with all his attention, but when he saw that Puyol was about to control the football, he felt a little more stable in his heart, but at this moment, he suddenly saw that Ai Huan didn't know when he arrived at Puyol's side, and the football quickly flew towards him.
It was happening so fast that Valdés was able to save on his own reflexes, but he was still half a point too slow, and the ball had already passed his fingertips and slammed into the post.
The moment Ai Huan's push back Puyol kicked, he felt a sharp pain, so the final power was not very good, the football did not fly out of a perfect arc but bounced on the goalpost, but the huge internal rotation force, or the football flew inside the goal, and the whole selection was in the goal line.
"It's in!" was seen by almost everyone in the stadium, and everyone had already decided that it was going to be scored.
But at this moment, Valdés's second reaction also came, his hand hooked the football out of the goal line, and Abidal, who arrived just in time, flew up and kicked the ball out of the bottom line, and then everyone looked at the linesman.
This time the linesman did not hesitate any longer, and directly pointed the flag in his hand to the corner kick point, and there was an uproar in the audience, if you don't know, you still think that this is Elche's home stadium, because the goal just now is so obvious that it almost touched the net, Valdés rushed into the goal to save the ball, how to look at it is not a corner kick.
Ai Huan had already fallen to the ground at this time, holding the kicked left leg and grinning in pain, at this time several Elche players had surrounded the two referees and loudly defended, and the Barcelona players also rushed over to try to interfere with the scene.
It took a long time for the referee to finally separate the crowd, and one of his things was very clear, upholding the original verdict!
