Chapter Eighty-Three: One More Time
After the break, the game continued without any changes to the managers of either side.
For Gianpaolo, the team is leading the score and the players are doing well and there is no need to adjust.
For Coach Como, it's because he can't think of any way to save the game on the field.
And just like that, the game went to the seventy-sixth minute.
At this time, defender Lukini passed the ball to the feet of Chen Long in the middle.
At the end of receiving the ball, Chen Long turned slightly sideways and made a move to pass the football to Rodriguez on the wing.
Como's defenders shifted their focus slightly to that side.
But Chen Long shook his ankle, but passed the football to Zou Zhaolong who was behind.
Then, he tilted his head from side to side to observe his surroundings, and at the same time moved laterally, moving to the other side.
In the process, he asked Zou Zhaolong for the ball.
Zou Zhaolong passed the football back to him.
Chen Long gave the football to Djuric this time with his back to the direction of the attack.
Then he turned and ran forward, still jogging, not very fast, as if he was a little out of shape, and did not seem to be very active in the attack.
Djuric was playing on the wing with a football, and Rodriguez on the other side was pulled out of the box to pick him up.
Djuric passed the ball to Rodriguez after encountering an obstacle, and Rodriguez also faced Como after receiving the ball on the wing, relatively tight, it was difficult to take the ball into the box, and if he crossed directly, there was no one in front of the goal - this is the disadvantage of a single striker.
He had no choice but to pass the football back to Djuric.
And Chen Long was still running forward slowly, not in a hurry.
After Rodriguez passed the football to Djuric, he quickly cut in to the goal, and Djuric was ready to pass the ball over.
However, with two Como defenders between the two men, and Rodriguez with a Como defender by his side, it was not a good choice to pass the ball through the ball.
It happened that he saw Chen Long "walking" to the front, so he passed the football to Chen Long.
Although Chen Long walked up, he did not miss to participate in the attack......
When Chen Long received the ball, he was only one step away from the 30-meter area of Como.
In this place, Como's defensive hardness has obviously strengthened a lot.
And Chen Long didn't plan to fight the opponent here, he received a pass from Djuric, and immediately transferred the football again.
It was given to another player, Zou Zhaolong, who came in from behind.
After Zou Zhaolong got the ball, he did not pass the ball immediately, but protected the football.
After all, his physique is not bad, and his ability to control the ball is also good.
When Zou Zhaolong was protecting the football, Chen Long trotted two steps, pulled away horizontally, and appeared on the other side of Zou Zhaolong.
Zou Zhaolong, who was protecting the ball, also spotted Chen Long in the gap, so he passed the football over again.
Chen Long received the ball with his back to the attack, and he swept sideways and swept the football to Rodriguez.
Rodriguez, who received the ball, did not develop with the ball on the wing like Djuric, because it can be seen that Como's defense on the wing is still very tight, and neither Djuric nor other players have found any opportunities on the wing before.
So this time, Rodriguez simply received the ball and moved sideways to the middle.
Chen Long dodged to let Rodriguez get through the empty space in front of him, and then he didn't stop and continued to move slowly towards the side.
However, no one noticed his movement at this time, because first of all, he was moving too slowly, and it didn't look like he was in a hurry to catch Rodriguez.
On the other hand, it is because the big cross is very resolute and decisive in the middle, which attracts the attention of almost all Como defenders.
Two Como players rushed up to block Rodriguez.
Rodriguez had to slow down or he might have crashed.
Djuric raised his arms in the box and asked Rodriguez for the ball.
With Como's centre-back behind him, it was difficult to turn around and get a shot on goal.
But Rodriguez still passed the ball over, and at the same time ran away from the ball himself, quickly cutting into the box.
He knew that it would be difficult for Djuric to turn around when the opponent was closely marked, so he didn't want to assist Djuric, but planned to do a wall-hitting combination with Djuric from the beginning, and then burst into the penalty area to score by himself.
However, Como's players are not stupid, how can they not be guarded against seeing such an obvious intention to hit the wall and cooperate?
Immediately, a Como player followed Rodriguez into the box.
If Djuric passes the ball now, there is a good chance that it will be destroyed by the Como player.
So what to do?
Just when Juric was a little undecided, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure out of the corner of his eye.
Just on the right edge of the penalty area, in an unnoticeable corner, Chen Long ran slowly...... In!
And by his side...... Not a single Como player!
So what are you waiting for?
Isn't this an opportunity!
Juric has always enjoyed the assists that Chen Long has given him, and now it is his turn to return the favor!
He didn't hesitate to pass the football over!
Instead of passing to Rodriguez, who was rushing towards the middle, he passed the football to Chen Long in the corner of the penalty area!
"Long Chen!"
As the football rolled towards Chen, Mario shouted excitedly.
Chen Long didn't wait for the ball on the spot, but he suddenly started to face the football when he was walking on the field!
This step is very powerful, not at all like a person with little physical strength left, and he rushed to the football in just one step!
And Como's goalkeeper Allen turned black again when he saw the football being passed to Chen Long, and he greeted God countless times at the moment.
However, at the same time, he still chose to make a save!
He spread his arms, lowered his center of gravity, and pounced on the football and Chen Long, trying to block Chen Long's shot angle.
And Chen Long, who caught up with football, also picked up his feet.
At this moment, Alun suddenly chuckled in his heart, because he saw that Chen Long's right foot picked up the football again!
"Groove"
Allen shouted inwardly and immediately pounced on Long Chen.
However, he was still a step slower, and could only watch as Chen Long once again shot the ball over his head, and then, hearing a "whoosh", the football drilled into the net again.
3:0!
Chen Long scored his third goal of the game and his first hat-trick in Serie B!
