Chapter 16: Super Substitutes

'Gladstone made a good save, hey, the ball went in. Gladstone made a save and fell to the feet of Lu Feng, who easily scored the ball. In the 84th minute, Santos equalized. A goal from Santos, a young Chinese youngster Lu Feng, who came on as a substitute for the first time. Lu Feng's debut will surely be remembered by him, scoring after less than 10 minutes of appearance, and we can look forward to the future of the youngster. ”

Lu Feng couldn't believe it, he, the first time he came off the bench, he scored? Before Lu Feng pinched himself to see if he was dreaming, excited teammates had already surrounded him and celebrated the goal with Lu Feng.

Well, Lu Feng believed that he really scored in the first official game. It feels, it feels wonderful.

Captain Anderson rubbed Lu Feng's hair and encouraged Lu Feng.

"Nice boy, well done."

"Haha, I know." Benjamin hugged Lu Feng, who was obviously thrilled by Lu Feng's equaliser. "I said you'd score, right, haha."

Lu Feng smiled embarrassedly, it was really fantastic to be able to score a goal in his debut.

The celebration of Santos' teammates did not last long, after all, it was only an equalizer now. Lu Feng's goal gave Santos' players a great encouragement, everyone is like this, once there is hope, they will exude great courage. Lu Feng's goal undoubtedly gave Santos players the hope of overtaking the score and getting three points. After all, we can all equalize, and it's not impossible to score another one.

On the other hand, on Guarani's side, the game time was obviously coming to an end soon, and the three points were in front of him, but at the last moment, the three points in hand became one point. And most importantly, the adjustments made by Guarani are obviously to strengthen the defense, and it will be difficult to attack again to overtake the score. So, the morale of the Guarani players is very low.

The game resumes with the Guarani team kicking off. After kick-off, the Guarani team seemed to have lost the desire to attack all of a sudden, and began to make return passes, horizontal passes or something. It seems that he wants to keep this score until the end of the game. The opponent is a Santos team that is stronger than himself, and it is acceptable to get a point.

The move of the Guarani team undoubtedly made the Santos players have a desire to win. You see, the opponents are afraid to come out and attack, obviously afraid of us. Since the opponent is afraid of us, then what reason do we have not to fight hard to win this game.

In the next game, the whole team of Santos seemed to be beaten like chickens, the mad dog mode was turned on, and Guarani was frantically forced by Santos.

Pedro, who was off the field, couldn't help but smile when he saw the situation on the field.

"I have to admit that you made the right bet, I didn't expect Lu Feng, this kid, to score, and your adjustment has paid off. Maybe we can really win this game. ”

Curry smiled slightly, he actually didn't expect Lu Feng to score, he replaced Lu Feng, purely to rely on Lu Feng's speed to impact the opponent's backline, so as to create scoring opportunities. Now it seems that Lu Feng has done a good job.

"This kid is in good shape and luck, and when he first played, I thought he was going to be nervous. Unexpectedly, he was not stage frightened at all and played well. As for this game, there is a great possibility of winning it, don't you see that the opponent only dares to shrink in the penalty area? ”

Pedro and Curry looked at each other and smiled, and Pedro added.

"You can consider giving Lu Feng a few more playing minutes."

On the pitch, although the morale of the Santos team was high, they had the upper hand. But due to the retreat of the Guarani team, Santos couldn't find a way to crack it for a while.

In the 87th minute, Benjamin crossed, Lu Feng failed to fight in the penalty area, and the ball was cleared.

In the 89th minute, Silva passed the ball to an unmarked Sami after connecting three opponents. Faced with such a great opportunity, Sammy fired a shot that grazed the post and flew off the line.

Sammy couldn't believe it herself, and crouched down with her head in chagrin. He knew that this was an opportunity that should have been scored, but it was wasted by himself, and he blamed himself for pursuing too much angle.

The game entered the 90th minute and there were only five minutes of stoppage time, but Santos was unable to break the deadlock against a retreating Guarani.

As time went on, Santos' players began to become more and more impatient, and the attack began to become simpler, regardless of whether it was a big foot in the penalty area.

As the team's bridgehead, Lu Feng faced two Guarani central defenders who were at least half a head taller than him, and it was undoubtedly difficult to grab the first point to complete the attack. In the case of competing for the header many times, Lu Feng only succeeded in fighting for the header once, and barely completed the attack action, but unfortunately the header was weak and was easily confiscated by Gladstone.

Seeing that the cross to find the land breeze had no effect, the Santos team began to try to shoot from distance. It's just that the long-range shooting attempt is not because they want to adjust the way they attack, but because every teammate is a little impatient and wants to kick it himself. In such a situation, Santos can imagine how dangerous it is to Guarani's goal.

"Santos didn't have anything to do in the face of Gurani's bus parked at the edge of the penalty area, and Santos' players began to be impatient, how to penetrate Guarani's defense with such an attack. It seems that Santos can only get a draw at the Campinas Stadium in frustration. ”

In the 94th minute, Benjamin fired a very high-quality long-range shot from around 35 yards out of goal, but Gladstone was in too good form to save what should have been a world wave goal.

"Today's Man of the Match was definitely Gladstone. The 28-year-old Chilean goalkeeper made numerous crucial saves in today's game. Just now, he snuffed out another brilliant long-range shot from Benjamin. Santos picked up a corner, which should be Santos' last chance, and stoppage time will be over. ”

The eyes of the fans were focused on Benjamin, who took the corner, and they were until, as long as they defused the attack of the Santos team, the game would be over.

Benjamin looked inside the box, took a deep breath and whipped in a tactical corner that was passed to Silva.

Silva faced Ryan Shorton's defence, and with a simple turn, he deceived the opposition and slotted into the box. Bruno reacted well and immediately stepped up to cover Silva.

Silva didn't try to get past Bruno, but with a light flick of the ball, he handed the ball to Sammy, who came to pick it up.

Sami had just picked up the ball when Guarani came off the bench to meet him with solid centre-back Will. At this time, although Sammy's shooting angle was already small, there was still a shooting angle. Forget it, let's try our luck with a shot.

Just as Sammy was about to shoot, a glance suddenly saw that Lu Feng's run was between two Guarani defenders. He had a better shot than I did, and it went to Lu Feng. In the blink of an eye, Sammy made a pass.

The ball that Sammy was supposed to shoot was passed to Lu Feng like this.

Will was startled and could only watch the ball roll in the other direction.

Sammy's pass, due to its haste, was not strong enough and was slow. Guarani's other centre-back, Sicilio, had a chance to break off, but because he had been fighting for a full 90 minutes, his strength was a little too weak, and his outstretched foot almost touched the football.

The football finally fell to Lu Feng's feet, and Lu Feng slammed his right foot, Gladstone didn't have time to react, and the football flew directly past him and crashed into the net.
