Chapter 332: The Decisive Battle at the Top of Asia (Part I)

The counterattack is coming! The game lasted until the sixty-fifth minute.

"Li Xuyan! Shake off the opposing defenders! Behind the direct pass, goalkeeper Zeid attacked - Lee Seungyeol outflanked and followed! Shot! ”

Lee Seungyeol faced the goalkeeper directly, he wanted to shake off an angle of shot, but Zeid came out too fast, and time was running out! He had no choice but to shoot straight at goal.

At this time, the cheers of the fans in Seoul overwhelmingly overwhelmed the fans of the Etihad.

"This is a great opportunity-" Han Jae-sung stretched out his voice, ready to chant for a goal.

Unexpectedly, the football went around Zeid and hit the post!

The cheers came to an abrupt end, followed by another cheer – this time from the Etihad fans.

But all this is not over, the football blocked by the goalpost happened to fall at the feet of Li Xuyan, who was following him, and he saw that the goalkeeper had not had time to pounce, so he immediately hit the goal directly!

It's just that he didn't keep shooting at the incoming ball, and he didn't master the footwork in the moment, and the football flew directly to the stands behind the goal......

He held his head in his hands, very regretful.

"Li Xuyan's supplementary shot! Great power! But the power was too great, and the ball flew straight out of bounds......" Han Jae-sheng said with regret.

……

I thought I was very confident in a final, but I didn't expect it to be a hard battle. More than 60 minutes have passed in the second half, and the two sides are still entangled, and no winner or loser has been decided.

The final is really different from all the other competitions.

Seeing that the deadlock could still not be broken, GΓΌneshi planned to make a substitution, so he called Xu Shengxun up from the bench and asked him to warm up.

Xu Shengxun quickly put on his vest vest and ran out.

He has always been a substitute and wants to play very much, Li Xuyan and his friends who used to be in the reserve team have played the main team, and now that the team has entered the finals, how can he not want to play?

……

Ittihad's momentum is so strong that the Saudi fans in the stands are like chicken blood, and their singing is higher and higher, although it is not as loud as the Seoul fans, but the cheers of hundreds of people against tens of thousands of people do not seem to be too far behind.

Li Xuyan's ears were now full of chaotic cheers, and he couldn't hear the other sounds at all.

The shrill cheers of people from West Asia sang in his ears, which made Li Xuyan's mood very depressed.

In fact, the reason for the frustration was not the cheers of the Etihad fans, but the current situation of the game - the score was still 0-0, and Ittihad looked to have a better chance of scoring than Seoul.

If Seoul FC, which was generally favored before the game, besieged for dozens of minutes, but finally let the opponent score a goal and lost the game. This is almost going to make people laugh off their big teeth and be embarrassed to be thrown at grandma's house......

What should you do to fight the arrogance of the other party and save face?

Score their goals!

Ittihad is now pressed higher, and there are a lot of gaps behind him, but this also makes Li Xuyan farther away from the goal.

Seoul FC can only use fast counterattacks to hit the opponent's back, but Li Xuyan is quite good at this kind of play.

The teammates are very clear about Li Xuyan's advantages, so as soon as they get the ball, they will stuff it to him, and Li Xuyan will launch a counterattack, but the opponent's defense is not bad, and Seoul FC has several counterattacks that have been resolved in the end.

There will be a chance eventually! Li Xuyan silently waited in his heart for the appearance of that fatal opportunity!

……

From the seventy minutes onwards, the Etihad offensive intensified significantly. This is the timetable set for them by their manager Gabriel, to step up their attack from the 70th minute onwards and try to score goals while the opponent's stamina is declining.

The amplitude of their pressure is greater, and the more space behind them will naturally be......

In the 71st minute, Seoul FC had another chance to counterattack.

Ji Chengyong directly made a long pass to Li Xuyan in front, Li Xuyan knew that the opponent's defender was going to come up to grab him as soon as possible, so he didn't choose to stop the ball, but directly passed to Gao Mingzhen who received him at the back, and then Gao Mingzhen distributed the football to the feet of Andilson on the side.

After passing the ball, Li Xuyan turned around and ran forward, he didn't care what his teammates wanted to do with the ball, anyway, it was always right to run forward with a counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Andilson took two steps forward, and then made a long pass in the direction of Li Xuyan's running!

The ball went over the head of the defender and landed directly on the edge of the penalty area.

Li Xuyan quickly plugged in, rushed in front of the defender and ran to the ball landing point, and Zeid immediately attacked when he saw this!

I have to say that Zeid's attack efficiency is very high, and many counterattacks by Seoul FC before would be destroyed by his attack as long as he passed the ball a little wider.

Zeid believes that the timing of his attack this time is okay, because he is confident that he has blocked the angle, as long as Li Xuyan stops the ball, there will be no chance to shoot under the bag between himself and the defender.

Li Xuyan quickly plugged in, turned his head to look at the football flying from behind him, and at the same time Yu Guang also saw the goalkeeper who attacked, he knew that as long as he stopped, it would take one more second, and there would be no angle to shoot, so he made a bold decision in an instant, and at the moment when the ball fell, he didn't stop the ball and went directly to the end of the arch of his foot......

Hanging doors!

This was obviously beyond Zaid's expectations, he didn't expect Li Xuyan to choose to hang the door directly without stopping the ball, which was too difficult, and he thought that it had no possibility of success at all.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand and lifted it up, but he didn't touch the ball at all, and watched the ball fly over his head......

No way, it's definitely high!

When the ball was lightly ended by Li Xuyan and flew high in the direction of the goal, Han Zaisheng had already shouted: "Oh my God! The ball flew towards the goal! ”

The fans in Seoul also cheered enough to suppress the Etihad fans.

"Li Xuyan shoots-!!"

The moment Zeid flew over his head, his heart beat faster and the pressure reached its limit. He made a reflex to make a save, but he didn't touch it, and what about football?

He turned his head in the direction of the goal.

The ball drew a wonderful parabola and fell straight towards the goal, unbelievably into the net.

"Ball-in-la-la!!"

This cheer was like a thunderclap, exploding over the Tokyo Arena in Japan!

Kim Tae-yeon was very worried when she saw Lee Wook Yan kick the football directly into the stands with a supplementary shot, and she felt that Lee Wook Yan was becoming restless, which would seriously affect his performance.

Will he lose?

Thinking of this, Kim Taeyeon had mixed feelings.

At this time, Li Xuyan scored in the most incredible way......

"Ball, ball in?" The Japanese commentator was a little incredulous at first, and then he was unwilling to finally pick a problem: "This ball...... It should be offside, right? ”

……

"Offside, P!" Zheng Xiujing, who was sitting in front of the TV in China, watched the live broadcast on the Internet, and when she heard the commentator wantonly slander Li Xuyan's hard-won goal, she couldn't help but curse in a hurry. Regardless of whether Li Xuyan's goal is really offside, of course, he must stand firmly with his team at this time.

Yes, only because FC Seoul represents their own country, not because of that annoying guy.

Zheng Xiujing secretly told herself in her heart, and then she quietly turned her head to look at her sister who finally showed a smile on her face next to her, and asked softly: "Sister, what is offside?" ”

……

The Japanese commentator said that the offside position was reasonable, because Li Xuyan had indeed just been parallel to the last defender of the Etihad at the moment of Andilson's pass, and if you don't watch the slow-motion replay carefully, it makes people feel that there may be a suspicion of offside.

But the assistant referee's flag, as well as the referee's whistle and gestures, all indicate that the ball is not offside.

The referee pointed to the centre circle - the goal worked!

The Seoul FC bench didn't care if the ball was offside or not, they had already jumped up from their seats with their arms raised as the ball flew into the goal.

"Ball-in-la-!! The deadlock was broken in the seventy-second minute! The man who scored the goal was ...... Li Xuyan! He scored his tenth goal in this AFC Champions League, becoming the first player in the history of the AFC Champions League to score a double-double! Broke the single-season goal record after the AFC Champions League restructuring! ”

"He is now not only the top scorer in South Korea, but also the real top scorer in the AFC Champions League!!"

……

Li Xuyan, who scored the goal, didn't look at the referee's gesture to confirm whether he had scored, he opened his arms and rushed to the direction where the VIP audience was located. As he ran, he pointed to the stands.

All his teammates ran after him, but he was so fast that no one could stop him!

Li Xuyan rushed to the sidelines, in full view of everyone, put his hands around his head, and boldly made a heart-shaped gesture, although he did not find the figure he was looking forward to in the crowd in a short time, but he knew that she must be there.

Immediately after, his teammates finally rushed forward, and Ji Chengyong was the first to come up and have a bear hug with Li Xuyan, a real bear hug.

Then more teammates rushed up and surrounded them.

Cheer together to celebrate the goal.

"Ahead!"

"We're ahead!!"

As soon as they took the lead, the goal was easy to play, and everyone was not just cheering for the goal, but they were happy when they thought that they were playing well in the next game. After all, I was constipated for most of the time, and the feeling of being suddenly smooth was simply amazing.

Li Xuyan has such an ability, he is good at scoring first in a stalemate, helping the team open up the situation, any team always likes to lead. Once you're ahead, you'll have more options to keep attacking or counter-attacking. It will also occupy a clear advantage in terms of mentality. So it's great to be able to break the deadlock and help the team get ahead.

As soon as this goal is scored, it seems that the Asian championship is getting closer and closer to Seoul FC! (To be continued.) )
