Chapter 108: Killing the Game with Talent (Part II)
There are only two paths in front of Mr. Atkins, Plan A, adhere to the turtle shell tactics and do not relax, and grind you to death; Plan B, attack on all fronts, and let Portsmouth taste the fiasco. At this moment, there was a series of heavenly battles in his heart, and he wanted to shrink down, but look at Lallana, every time he got the ball, he smiled happily and brightly, and even if he failed to break through, he quickly got up and was ready for the next charge.
He was a little reluctant to spoil the atmosphere on the pitch, and Mr Atkins felt as if he had gone back to the first time he saw a football on a morning decades ago, like a candy. He tried two kicks and fell, but the corners of his mouth still bloomed with a smile that he had never seen before, and his father asked him, "Are you happy playing football?" ”
Anyway, it's just a warm-up game, Mr Atkins thought, and he waved his hand at Southampton all over the line!!
It's impossible for one person to break through eleven people for such a thing as football talent, but it is really possible for one person to break through two people. No Portsmouth player could win a 1-11 battle in the first half, but when Southampton gave up their integrity and spread the defence to attack, Portsmouth launched a counter-attack to get some 1-2s; 2 to 3 opportunities, one-on-one explosion point, the advantage of personal ability is reflected.
In the 61st minute, Dele Ali received a pass from Mane, and without even observing, he took the lead forward, and the ball went straight through Schneiderlin's goal, which was defending him. This scene stunned the Portsmouth fans in the stands, and even Hydward did not expect that the 23-year-old Schneiderlin joined Southampton in 2008, and his presence greatly improved the hardness of the team's midfield, with a large running area, very calm play, and a small defensive action and rarely received red and yellow cards. If Southampton are successful in their promotion this season, Schneiderling will be the first to take the lead. But to be honest, as a defensive midfielder, most of his tackles are up and down, and the back is up and down, and it will be very fatal if he doesn't succeed.
Ali adjusted his foot twice, shook off Schneiderlin, glanced at the goalkeeper's position, and kicked the ball hard before the defender pressed.
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Walker couldn't help but ask.
Hydward didn't answer him, because he didn't care about answering or thinking anymore, and the ball flew higher and higher; Flying higher and higher, goalkeeper Davis stretched out his long arm, moved his thighs up and down a few times, kicked out, the ball began to fall with a violent spin, he tried to lift the ball out, but after all, it was still a little bit short, the ball crossed the fingertip of the middle finger, and hung in the net behind him.
"Oh oh ---!!!"
The teammates and coaches on the bench began to cheer, too beautiful goal! Portsmouth pulled a goal back again, 2-3.
Schneiderlin, who was chasing back, stared blankly at the ball that was still bouncing in the goal, his face full of disbelief.
This... Just in?
This distance is a full 32 meters, and the ball speed is at least 110 kilometers per hour.
Ali didn't show any excitement after scoring the goal, pinched his neck, and pulled a very tuggy smile at the corner of his mouth, a delinquent teenager who was alive and well, as if to say, scoring goals is really simple.
He walked up to Schneiderlin, who had been passed by him, and said, "Silly, ***"
Schneiderlin's face instantly became ugly, and Hydward was also taken aback by Ali's move, this young man had just deliberately cooled him in the locker room for a while, and even Ward hoped that Ali would perform poorly, so that he could become a good teacher and persuade him to be positive. But he didn't expect that when he came to the field, he was not stage frightened at all in the game from the League One youth team to the Championship level, but was full of self-confidence.
"This kid is too aggressive, it's easy to suffer" Hydward couldn't help but admire the little guy after seeing this super heavy cannon, but this temper is too stinky, he is a little worried.
The team's new coach, Finnan, nodded slightly, his eyes were full of appreciation, and he rushed to this long-range shot, he remembered his former club teammates.
He whispered, "Steven. Gerrard. ”
Hydward suddenly realized, "Finnan, you are a legend of Liverpool, who is faster than Gerrard's or Ali's long-range shot?" He asked nonsense.
"Of course it's Gerrard, and I'm not a legend, in this day and age, there are so many greats like dogs, legends are everywhere, it's too cheap."
Hydward smiled knowingly, "Did Ali say his idol was Gerald?" ”
"Oh? Then when he is more mature, he can go to Liverpool and try it, and those who go there are always very good long-range shots. ”
Tottenham fans come out and promise not to do anything to you.........
Hydward punched him: "Hey, Ali is a Portsmouth player now. ”
Finnan said: "I have a shirt from Steven Gerrard's '05 Champions League against Olympiacos in the group stage...... I'll give it to Ali when I go back, and he'll like it. ”
Hydward didn't care much about the form on the field, and chatted with his colleagues: "I watched that game...... Benitez's second-half substitution somewhat liberated Gerrard...... "but his focus was all on the manager.
At the same time, the format on the pitch changed again, and when Adam Lallana focused on breaking through, his role as a midfield commander was forgotten to the side, so the situation on the pitch looked like Southampton were completely suppressed. And as a Demoman, Lallana has no body, no speed, and only a decent dribble. So as soon as he got the ball, Margery would wrap it around like a plaster, and he couldn't tear it off.
The game was slowly turning into a boring sprint race, but Margery's toughness at this point could not change the fact that the Portsmouth defence was weak as a whole, and Lambert once again took advantage of Portsmouth's mistake in the coordination of the defense to break the ball and delicately push the far corner to reopen the score.
2-4!!
At this stage of the game, Mendy said that he was not afraid of anyone than the sprinter, compared with Lallana's slightly soft advance, the French guy perfectly showed what is called the aesthetics of violence, and Mendira couldn't pull it up at speed, and the fans in the stands were extremely excited.
He was accompanied by the fans' shouts of "hurry up", and the lad lay down three defenders in quick succession on the flank, and then attracted the attention of a large group of Southampton players.
Mendy's head is tilted up 45 degrees to look at the scenery, and then there is no love, there is not even a hair in the forbidden area, it must be that I am running too fast... Do you want to stop and think about life for a while? Wait for teammates?
In the next second, he seemed to hear the head coach in the coach's seat shouting, "Pass!" A sucker!!! The anxious tone was as if the gas stove at home was not turned off.
No matter! No one, no one, Mendy adjusted his fat buttocks, and his thick thighs hit the ball.
The ball flew out, made a graceful arc and flew off the baseline.
Jamie Vardy, who arrived at the horse, knelt in the penalty area, and Icardi, who was outflanked in place, had round eyes and looked at his teammates on the side in shock, wanting to kill him! Hold the grass, my goal......
The realistic version of the cross from the side and the bottom line appeared perfectly on Mendy.
Hydward's hand was loosened, and the water splashed, it turned out that in addition to his explosive physical fitness and poor defense, other things such as super side rib combat ability; Precise curling crosses; The ability to puncture longitudinally is all imaginary to him.
At this moment, there are only four words in his mind: "This team eats jujube pills!" "What kills an opponent with talent, there is no such thing as a killing.
