Chapter Ninety-Eight: 'Beast's Waist' Verratti

Verratti is an Italian player who plays as a central midfielder, but in this game, he and Neymar were both in a central midfield position due to the retreat of the organisation.

But one thing to say, Verratti is really a little awkward in this position.

A one-meter-six-five 'beast' waist is 15 centimeters different from Yi Lezhan, and both of them are about to form the cutest height difference.

When Verratti competes with Yile for the rhythm, there is no advantage at all.

Height can't be good, high-altitude balls can't be competed.

The body is not good, and it is not easy to squeeze, so it is basically Rabiot who comes forward to help the defense, and Verratti alone is not easy to play, which is enough to attract the two defensive forces of Paris Saint-Germain.

Many times, PSG played the ball high, and Verratti competed with Yile for the spot.

Unlike Yile's initiative, Verratti could only tilt his head most of the time and watch the ball be transferred by Yile's header.

It doesn't work at all.

Live commentary. Lawrence also joked with a smile: "Verratti is very passive, his height is a big problem, this is a cute 'beast' waist." ”

Tottenham fans also couldn't help but laugh, and they felt some sympathy for Verratti.

Every time I watched Verratti face a high-altitude ball, facing a disadvantage in height, I was so anxious that I circled around the Yi Le group, and jumped up and fought for the top with all my strength, but in the end I could only watch Yi Le jump up and down lightly, and then leave leisurely, highlighting a 'pitiful', 'weak', and 'helpless'.

Rabiot was able to come to Verratti's aid at times, but he couldn't keep an eye on them in order to secure his position, and PSG's weaknesses were clearly visible throughout the midfield.

......

With 32 minutes into the first half, PSG was getting more and more anxious.

Tottenham have two away goals and PSG will have to score three goals in this game if they want to progress.

In this anxious mood, their attacks became more and more reckless and aggressive.

When people are in a hurry, they make mistakes.

Verratti was holding the ball in midfield and he tried to find Neymar, but found that Neymar was not in a good position.

Verratti looked at Yi Le who was running towards him, and his heart tightened.

He looked forward and Cavani was in a good position, but the pass path between the two was blocked.

Normally, neither Verratti nor anyone else would choose to pass, but Verratti was in too much of a hurry and under the attacking pressure of the first half, they always wanted to try some risky passes.

What if Tottenham make a mistake?

What if, passed on?

Verratti hesitated, but finally decided to get up and pass the ball.

He watched as Yile began to approach him, and as long as he crossed the Yile line, Paris Saint-Germain would be left with a flat Tottenham backfield.

Verratti decided to go it alone, and he wanted to avenge himself by sending a wonderful curling ball from Yile's goal.

The two soon got into a fight.

Yi Le's tackling ability is not strong, and Verratti's turf is low, and the frequency of his feet is fast, and Yi Le is not easy to kick, so he just follows him to block the passing angle.

Yi Le observed the positions of the Parisian players around Verratti and predicted the path of the opponent's pass, but Verratti did not seem to have any intention of passing the ball and wasted several passing opportunities.

What does he want to do?

Yi Le was a little alarmed.

Now, with the parallel passing angle gone, the Tottenham players dropping back to fill in and Verratti having to pass forward.

Yi Le immediately posted it, he wanted to harass Verratti as much as possible.

At this point, Verratti began to make movements.

I saw that this little man began to change direction, his movements were extremely agile, and the frequency of his feet was fast, and if he changed to an ordinary defensive midfielder, he would have been stunned.

But Yile is no longer on the list.

He is 1.8 meters tall, but due to years of training, his body is flexible or agile, enough to keep up with Verratti's speed and continuous change of direction.

Suddenly, Yi Le saw Verratti swing the ball to the right, and the ball was very wide.

Yi Le immediately wanted to stretch out his right foot to block, but the next moment he hesitated.

He felt it was a feint.

This is a hunch, and Yi Le can't say clearly, but he has felt this way before, and Yi Le has predicted it many times.

Thinking of this, Yile still stepped on his right foot, but his weight was still on the supporting leg, observing Verratti.

And Verratti was also observing Yi Le, watching Yi Le take out his right leg block, only to see a happy look on his face.

Verratti quickly clasped his right foot and followed with a small step with his left foot, adjusting his center of gravity again, trying to pass the ball through Yile's little goal.

Verratti adjusted quickly and came out very quickly.

In the midst of the lightning, Yi Le jerked back his right foot, his legs together, and his knees bent.

Verratti was shocked: "!!!! ”

He watched as the ball hit Yi Le's calf, and instead of bouncing upwards due to the amount of flexing, it had a force that bounced off him, and then bounced off behind him.

At this time, Yi Le had already strode in front of the tower and directly crossed him.

Verratti wanted to turn around, but due to the tilt of his body at this time, he could not chase back at the first time.

He could only watch Yi Le, striding forward, past himself, and towards his own half.

......

"Nice defense! Verratti failed to fool Yi, this leg is too crucial. Lawrence stood up abruptly and said in surprise: "A good opportunity for a quick counterattack, how will Yi deal with this ball?" ”

"Through ball!!!!! ——”

Kane started quickly, he got on the end of this through ball and shot !! ———”

A second later, Lawrence roared violently, "Goooooooa!!! ”

"Harry. Kane scored a crucial goal! ”

"It was a big mistake by PSG!"

"One of Verratti's adventures has sent them to hell!"

"A wonderful through ball! It tore apart the Paris Saint-Germain backline once again, and although it wasn't the first time it had appeared at White Hart Lane, it was still as dazzling. ”

"This through ball pushed Tottenham further into the quarter-finals of the Champions League and dealt a painful blow to PSG!"

'It was Kane's first goal in the Champions League, so let's congratulate him!'

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——

The entire White Hart Lane Stadium is as jubilant as a festival.

Tottenham fans jumped to their feet the moment the goal was scored.

The whole stand was like a white tide of rage surging again.

The expressions of Tottenham fans were excited, excited and even hideous.

After a six-year hiatus, they may be in the quarter-finals of the Champions League again!

And they are convinced that this time they will not be left with regrets, and their finish line will definitely not be the quarterfinals.

In the mood of anticrisy and excitement, the fans in the stands could not calm down for a long time.

In the middle of the field, Harry. Kane also ran all over the pitch with excitement, coming to the stands and yelling at the fans, only to be met with an even louder roar.

Harry. Kane!!

Harry. Kane!!

Harry. Kane!!

Harry. Kane!!

......

On the other hand, the mood of the Parisian players was a little low.

They pursed their lips, and although they didn't want to admit it, their Champions League journey might end here.

And as the biggest 'contributor' to this goal, Verratti knelt on the ground, he held his head in his hands, and looked at the goal with a blank expression, he knew that he couldn't believe it now, all this.
