Chapter 205 Champions League Manchester United VS Lazio IV
Tigos, who was crouching there with his head arched to his neck, knew that the famous Spanish whistle was coming towards them after hearing the foul whistle blown by the referee, and the people were coming towards them! Tigos, who felt so stressed that even the hairs on his neck stood up, withstood the terrible pressure, and after arching the person a few times, arching the person from a red state to a blushing state, he raised his head, smirked at the person in front of him, and then stood up, half-bent over and stretched out his hand of friendship to Lei Yi!
After making this series of moves, Tigos turned his head and smiled stupidly at the referee Prieto, and then exuded a friendly aura to Thunder Wing like spring!
But Prieto, who ran towards them with a blank face, just said coldly: "Tigos, that interception you just made was a foul move. One more time I'll give you a yellow card. In addition, delaying time is also a foul, and I will also deal you a card if the circumstances are strict, so please be careful. Oh yes, and please don't harass other players when you're running without the ball. ”
With that, Prieto took out a piece of cardstock from his pocket and wrote a few simple words and symbols on it, signaling that the game would continue and that the ball would remain with Lazio.
Tigos's expression was embarrassed when he heard that, but even if he was embarrassed, he still had to smile at Mr. Referee, smile and smile embarrassedly! It's such an embarrassing time, and the long and short legs that he hugged and fell over there have already gotten up on their own!
Tigos: "Oh Leiy, Leiy Oh Leiy. ”
Thunder Wing: "Shut up!" Now for the Champions League final! Kick the ball well, play it well! ”
Tigos was about to argue that he was really playing well, and he started the day with a serious kick, when he caught a glimpse of his own manager and the Lazio manager who were standing on the sidelines looking at them with murderous vigour. So I instantly understood everything and returned to my place!
Thirty minutes into the game, the score was still 0:0 at the beginning of the game. But in the last 30 minutes, it's impossible to count how many intense encounters have been played between the two teams on the pitch. Perhaps United had the upper hand on the pitch, but Lazio defended well and what happened now did not exceed Pablo's expectations at the outset.
But everyone who is watching this game has this thought in their hearts. They need a goal now, a goal that will allow them to open up the pitch and make both teams more bloody. No one would want that goal to come late at the end of the 70th minute.
The fans in the stadium sang their anthem for their home teams, as if the song was the best support they could send to their favourite team, reminding the players who were scrambling, running and intercepting on the pitch that countless others were with them at this moment.
In the end, the first person to break the deadlock was Timgos, who wore Manchester United's No.7 shirt.
With 42 minutes played, the three players in the attacking side of the game played a very consistent link-up. It was Tigos who launched the thunderous attack, and then he passed the ball to Alex, who ran like a small tank in midfield, and broke through Lazio's two-man bag and passed the ball to Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun tries to get up and shoot! However, it was successfully intercepted by the defenders of the Lazio team.
It happened so fast and so fast that people didn't even realize that possession had been snatched away from United by Lazio, and Tigos, who was the first to launch the attack, rushed to the last of Lazio's centre-backs who received the pass from his team-mates without pause.
Tigos' start was too fast, and by the time he ran towards Marcelli, the distance between them was too short and too short for him to block Marcelli's forward line with just one correct movement. As Tigos rushed at full speed towards Marcelli, even the fans watching the match live in front of the TV could feel an irrepressible sense of nervousness. In this state of emergency, Marcelli had to rush the ball back to his goalkeeper.
Seeing this scene, the hot-tempered Pablo almost scolded angrily on the sidelines!
The defender can't pass the ball back to the goalkeeper as quickly as he does in attack, because if something happens, there is likely to be an own goal that no one wants to see. Because of this, Marcelli's back-pass may not be faster than Tigos's extreme sprint!
The Lazio goalkeeper, who saw this scene, did not hesitate to attack directly, wanting to grab this kick back pass before Tigos!
The roars of the Manchester United fans and the shrill boos of the Lazio fans collided in the air before the battle between the two was decided!
"Shoot!! Tigos was unafraid to finish this shot when he was one-on-one with the attacking goalkeeper! 1:0! Manchester United took the lead at the end of the first half!! ”
In the 43rd minute, Manchester United took a one-point lead with the help of Tigos.
Generally speaking, when the two teams are evenly matched, one side will inevitably cause the other side to attack in a short period of time. A one-point lead before 70 minutes is nothing, and a team that is good enough will not be afraid of the opponent's slight advantage. But that was enough to make them change their tactics and tactics and give the fans a more exhilarating extravagant feast.
But before Lazio could release their fighting spirit and fighting spirit, they were interrupted by the whistle signaling the end of the first half.
Obviously, this will make their fifteen-minute half-time break very difficult. They know that their bodies are shouting and telling them that they need to relax their bodies and minds now and recover their bodies! But the will is shouting, I want to rush out now, start the game, and chase back the score that is behind! Then take advantage of the victory to chase for another goal!
Joao, who was in charge of playing music for everyone at half-time, played soothing music in the dressing room and wanted to help his team-mates get out of that overly agitated state. But at such a moment, this kind of music only made Lei Yi feel even more bored. It was just when that fidgeting state was about to continue to ferment that their head coach Pablo walked into the dressing room. The Blue Eagles players sitting in the dressing room stood up almost reflexively. Pablo, on the other hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, all of them to sit down.
So the atmosphere in the dressing room became silent after Joao turned off the music. All eyes were on their manager, and the first thing Pablo said after a single movement of his pursed lips was:
"Boys, your table was excellent in the first half!"
After Pablo said this, some people continued to look at him very seriously, while others silently lowered their heads.
"But Manchester United's table is better than us!" Pablo uttered the words out loud and then after a moment of silence he said: "As we expected before the first half, Manchester United have a lot of firepower in attack!" But their defenses are also very strong! We defended well at the beginning and you all took what I said to heart. No matter how strong Manchester United's attack is, defend as you normally would! When they get to the edge of the box, they can't have a combined attack between their attacking ends! Cut off the ball line between them! But towards the end of the first half, we let up. That's because more than one of you thought the first half was going to end here! You subconsciously want to go into the second half of the game with a score of 0:0! That's the fundamental reason why we ended up trailing before the first half. ”
After saying this, the whole locker room fell silent. Then Pablo walked to Joao, who was sitting on the outermost, half-crouched on the ground and said to Joao, who was sitting: "After the start of the second half, stabilize your position and don't drift to the left because of Manchester United's running pressure." You'll have to work more closely with Leiy. He needs you. ”
João looked at his boss with wide eyes, then nodded vigorously.
So Pablo walked up to Damian, crouched down and said, "Damian, I know you're the most handsome boy in our team. Don't be discouraged if you can't cut off Tigos. Don't stare at the feet of the Portuguese if necessary. You know, he's almost me a few times. Don't worry, you'll be able to catch up with him, try to push him to the bottom with your body, and your task is not to get him close to the middle! Your good friend Leiy will help you. ”
Then, before Pablo could get in front of Marcelli, the defender, who had made a mistake in his judgment towards the end of the first half and caused the team to lose points, stared at his manager and said in his voice a real reproach, saying: "I shouldn't have been the coach who passed the ball back at that time." I should have known that Tigos could catch up. ”
But this time, Pablo didn't blame him, and the usually hot-tempered Argentine coach even smiled at Marcelli: "Manchester United's Tigos and Alex are the kind of strikers who will press defenders at any cost when the opponent is down at the back. But you have to be clear that if they are pushing you, it will cause a lot more physical consumption. You can't panic because of their grabbing. You've got to be more decisive! Be braver! ”
After saying that, Pablo even patted the back of Marcelli's hand. He then walked up to the Croatian and said to the centre-back, who had been so good in the first half that he had even exceeded his expectations: "Ngoy, you were so good in the first half. ”
Although Ngoivic could not speak Italian very well, Pablo knew he could understand it, so he looked at the defender, who is 1.93m tall, and said: "Right now, I can't teach you how to do better in the second half. ”
Ngojic laughed when he heard this, and the simple and straightforward but somewhat silly Croatian said seriously: "In the second half, I could have done better." Trust me. ”
Pablo was genuinely amused by the adorable defender, so he patted Ngoivic on the back of the shoulder as he stood up to encourage him. Then, he walked in front of Thunder Wing. When the two looked into each other's eyes, it was as if they had already had a silent conversation.
"I remember." Before Pablo could speak, Thunder Wing had already uttered the words. He felt that he could feel that Pablo's heart was more tormented at this time than he had been in the previous minute, but his manager still comforted his teammates one by one and inspired them one by one.
Lei Yi felt that at least for now, he should also give the other party a little strength! So he said, "I remember what you said to me before the game. United's two centre-backs are strong. But Ashley turned faster and Glass had better headers. I didn't have to shoot directly down the right when I had to, I had to ask for the help of my team-mates to get around Ashley's zone and break through the middle. You also said that you know that when the ball is at my feet, whether I'm on the right, in the middle, or on the left, I have the ability to put the ball in the back of the net. ”
Although Lei Yi has been growing up since his transfer to Lazio, in Pablo's heart, Lei Yi is still the child who makes him feel at ease. Therefore, when Thunder Wing said such words at this moment, Pablo would be stunned for a moment. That's because he understands that his inner tension and restlessness were soothed by the boy in front of him at this moment.
"Although...... I'm a slower runner. But I'm not going to let Tigos beat me like that! Before, I wasn't used to dropping back and defending deep and looking for opportunities to attack. But now I'm slowly finding my senses! You know what forty-five minutes would mean to me if I found the feeling! ”
Oh...... It was a big surprise that Pablo didn't expect. Little Leiy will actually comfort people. It was like being slapped on the head with a giant sunflower in a field of sunflowers on a beautiful sunny day. Pablo exhaled, and then he didn't know what to do. His eyes looked at Thunder Wing, who looked at him the same, and then laughed.
"We have 45 minutes to become champions, sir."
Hearing this, Pablo felt that his whole body was full of strength. Yes, it's not just players who want encouragement from their managers when they're behind. It's just that a manager who is a little older than them will also want to get some similar words to take their nerves off at that moment.
Pablo, who had comforted the players one by one, stood up again. He exhaled heavily, then said, "Leiy is right. Boys! We still have 45 minutes to become champions!! ”
After saying this, Pablo clapped his hands vigorously! Hearing such a voice, the players who had been silent for a long time suddenly suddenly let out a morale-boosting voice! They bang their elbows on the closet, high-five, and shout out loud in their mouths!!
Now, they are ready to walk out of the dressing room and onto the pitch through the players' tunnel again!
Whether in the end they will be the victors or the ones who lose the game at the last minute.
They all have forty-five minutes left!!
When he entered the field again, Lei Yi shouted to the row of Lazio fans next to the players' tunnel: "Come on! Lazio!! ”
After fifteen minutes of anxious waiting, the Lazio fans almost burst into tears, and then shouted the name of the Blue Eagles behind Thunderwing, over and over again. So the whole audience let out three consecutive roars that could almost shake the land:
"Come on! Lazio!! ”
"Come on! Lazio!! ”
"Come on! Lazio!! ”
