Chapter 98: Rain Battle Victoria
Pardu, who kicked this kick, knew that the ball was kicked off. For no other reason, when Padu was shooting, Padu also kicked the stagnant water in front of him, resulting in the shot not eating the right part.
Sure enough, Pardu's shot did deviate and flew high over the crossbar.
Pardu's shot failed to find the back of the net against Victoria, leaving the Santos fans who traveled to the Goodson Stadium full of regret, and it was Santos' best chance since the opening kick-off, after all, Pardew's shot was from such a wide angle at the time.
However, Victoria's players and fans breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it's frustrating to be equalised just after a goal. Fortunately, Parde's shot was only a false alarm and did not score.
Although Pardu's shot did not result in a goal, it also sounded the horn of Santos' attack. Curry's adjustments have achieved good results, and the number of mistakes made by Santos has been greatly reduced.
It's just that Victoria, who took the lead, did a pretty good job defending. Especially in the dangerous area 30 meters in front of Victoria's goal, Santos' attacking players had to face several pressing from the opposition. Santos' attack was always unable to advance into Victoria's penalty area.
How to break the dense defense, this is a problem that many people are thinking about. When the opponent stops a bus at the gate of the penalty area, it is necessary for your team to score.
Generally speaking, there are two simple and crude ways to break a dense defense. One is set-pieces, in the case of set-pieces, the numerical advantage is relatively reduced. The other is a long-range shot, which is a long-range shot that shoots before the opposing defender gets around.
Santos' players undoubtedly used a long-range approach. It's a pity that the rainy day largely made Santos' players feel that the football was indeed slippery after being watered.
Lu Feng also tried to make a few kicks, but without exception, they were either outrageous or hit the anti-aircraft guns. Lu Feng was a little speechless in his heart, this ghost weather was too uncomfortable, otherwise, he would have scored a goal a long time ago.
In the 37th minute, it was again because of a mistake by a player on the slippery field, this time, it was a Victorian player. The Victorian defender was weak and fell directly to Silva's feet.
Silva took two steps and passed the ball to Pardew, who spun the ball and the ball was at the feet of the land breeze as the Victorian defender pounced on him.
Lu Feng stopped the ball with his left foot, and after a slight adjustment, he picked up the football with his right foot without hesitation, and the football flew towards Victoria's goal on the turf.
As we all know, this kind of football attached to the lawn is quite difficult for the goalkeeper to save. Victoria goalkeeper Schindler reacted quickly and immediately fell to the ground and pounced.
However, the ball flew from under his arm into the goal. It turned out that a pool of stagnant water in front of the goal changed the flight trajectory of the football, resulting in Schindler's save not being able to save the football, which cannot be blamed for Schindler's misjudgment, who called the fans to have such a puddle of stagnant water.
The Goodson Stadium was much quieter, with only the cheers of hundreds of Santos fans in the visitors' stands. These fans who can travel with the team to the away stadium are definitely die-hard fans of the team, and Lu Feng ran directly to the away stands, celebrating the goal.
God is fair, and this phrase is vividly reflected in this game. Because of the rain, Victoria scored first. Because of the rain, Schindler couldn't save Lu Feng's shot. A simple joke from God brought both teams back to the same running line.
After the equaliser, the whole Santos team was even more morale-boosting, and the psychological advantage of never tasting defeat against Victoria was vividly displayed in them. In the rest of the first half, Victoria's whole team was pressed by Santos to the point that they couldn't even pass the half.
And in front of Victoria's Gate, there have been frequent dangers for a period of time. It's a pity that the Santos players didn't succeed in seizing the opportunity, otherwise, at the end of the half, Santos would have overtaken the score.
At the end of the first half, both sides returned to the dressing room with a score of 1-1.
..
At the end of the half, Lu Feng, who returned to the locker room, was originally very happy, after all, after scoring a goal, the team had great hopes of winning, and it was strange that Lu Feng was in a bad mood.
It's just that with head coach Curry's next tactical arrangement, Lu Feng can't be happy. Because, Curry wants to replace Lu Feng with Levels.
As soon as Curry finished speaking, Lu Feng immediately spoke.
"Coach, why do you want to replace me, I think I'm in good shape."
After Lu Feng's words were finished, the atmosphere in the entire locker room vaguely changed. In the Santos team, Pardew is undoubtedly the main striker who cannot be beaten, while several other strikers are competing with each other for starting qualifications.
Lu Feng was going to be replaced after scoring a goal, and he was a little unhappy, everyone can understand it. It's just that Lu Feng said such things in front of so many people, which was undoubtedly provoking Curry's authority. The manager's authority in the dressing room cannot be questioned, and if a team's head coach can't control the dressing room, it's not far from the end of class.
The teammates understand this truth, and they all admire Lu Feng's courage in their hearts, and they also have some expectations in their hearts, what will the head coach Curry do to Lu Feng, who is full of favoritism, this is a straightforward provocation of Curry's authority.
Curry knows more about Lu Feng than Santos' players, and he knows that Lu Feng is not trying to challenge his authority, but simply because he is not happy to be replaced. However, Curry's own authority still needs to be maintained.
Thinking of this, Curry said coldly.
"Didn't you say it all, this kind of field is not suitable for you to play speed, and Levels's header skills are excellent, which is more suitable for playing in this kind of field."
Of course Lu Feng knew, but he was very unconvinced. "I'm not bad at heading, I'm in good shape."
Curry is so angry in his heart, is this kid trying to find trouble for me?
"This is my arrangement, and you obey it."
As he spoke, Curry glared at Lu Feng, meaning to tell him not to find trouble.
Lu Feng was still unwilling, and muttered dissatisfiedly. 'It's not fair, I'm in such good shape, I've scored, I've just been replaced. Besides, my header is really not bad. ”
Curry laughed angrily, "It's not fair, okay, then you tell me what is fair." ”
Lu Feng didn't understand the meaning of Curry's words, he thought that Curry was asking him to say what he thought. So, Lu Feng said his thoughts.
"Just play according to the coach's tactical arrangement, and if I can't score, replace me again, so it's fair."
Curry and Santos' players were stunned, no one thought that Lu Feng would really say what he thought, is he really not afraid of death. Many Santos players looked at Lu Feng sympathetically, thinking that Lu Feng was dead.
Unexpectedly, Curry asked.
"Okay, how much time are you going to give you to be fair?"
Lu Feng wanted to say it for half an hour, but thinking about half an hour, Curry would never agree, forget it, compromise.
"20 minutes, if I don't score for 20 minutes, I'll go off willingly."
"Okay, I'll give you a fair time." Curry agreed. "If you don't score for 20 minutes, you won't play in the next game."
