Chapter Ninety-Six: Advanced Goal [Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes]
"Rush, Rosilla, Sam! Break through the Karlsruhe defence, it's time to show the quality of our Bochum midfield! Facing the Bochum team, who were attacking again in full swing, Wells roared loudly.
Sam's attacking blood boiled over the crowd as he shifted his gear, left Federico behind, and began to stride forward with the ball.
Although Federico is the midfield commander of Karlsruhe, he is not good at defending and speed, which is why he can't stay in Serie A, where players are required to have a good sense of defense.
Seeing Federico being ridden off by Sam, Hag, who was covering on the side, immediately pounced, he wanted to cut off the ball, or at least delay for some time, but the boiling Sam still shook Hag's defense with his personal skills, and then shook his ankle and gave a straight plug to the ground.
While Sam would love to dribble all the way to the opposition box, it was clear that Cruise was in a better position, and Sam's through ball was quite well placed, and the amount of advance was comfortable enough for Cruise to fully lift the pace.
And you only need to touch the instep lightly forward to continue sprinting with the ball without slowing down at all.
In front of him was a large open field, and the nearest Booker was at least twenty meters away! Karlsruhe had only two central defenders, Rastor and Dirk, and Cruise he rushed up! Come on! Wells stood up and shouted loudly, he was also excited, this was another opportunity.
"Cruise is fast! His posture with the ball is also much better than last season, this is the player who has been trained in the Bundesliga, and his overall strength has increased a lot compared to last year! ”
Wells is a commentator, but he is also a good player who understands the ball, and he was quick to give his own assessment.
Booker is in his 30s, and his pace has no hope of catching up with Cruise at all! However, Karlsruhe still has Stoll and Dick, and they can only rely on their defense to stop Crew's breakthrough.
Facing Cruise as he got closer, the opposing Stoll rushed straight at him, while Dick quickly retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area and became the last line of defence before the goalkeeper.
"The ball is divided!" Wells couldn't help but raise his voice, "Stoll didn't even delay for a second!" ”
Stoll was a little reckless, and after catching up, he was quickly broken through by Cruise.
In desperation, Dick had no choice but to put a tackle outside the box, and he wanted to slow down Crews or just clear the ball.
In the face of Dick's tackle, Cruise seemed to have precalculated, slammed the brakes in the process of dribbling at high speed, and then the football was knocked out by his right heel, which was able to avoid Dick's tackle.
Then he quickly adjusted to a comfortable position, swung his thighs so hard that Dick, who was still gliding on the grass, even heard the sound of a football whistling and another heavy cannon hit the goal.
But Dick didn't hear the loud cheers at the Ruhr Stadium, all that was left was silence, so quiet that one almost thought there was no one here.
After standing up, Dick looked back, and sure enough, just as he thought, the flying football was easily won by Wu Feng again, as if any heavy artillery bombardment outside the penalty area was not a problem for him.
It turned out that Wu Feng had been eyeing Cruise as early as the moment Sam passed the ball, and he also saw Stoll's movements and knew that the captain was definitely going to be passed, so he stood up early and waited for Cruise's shot.
Sure enough, as he expected, Cruise, who was running, broke through without much effort in the face of Dick's tackle, and then attacked the goal with a heavy cannon. But such a shot seems to outsiders to be fast, but in Wu Feng's eyes, these are all slow motion, plus he saw through Cruise's movements, so it's strange that such a shot can go in.
The fans who were originally cheering only then remembered that the other party still had the terrible Chinese goalkeeper, and for a while, the Ruhr Stadium, which was originally singing and singing, fell into a cold field again.
After this shot, Bochum's players also remembered the opponent's black-haired goalkeeper and his cold eyes, and their morale fell to the bottom again for a while.
Federico, on the other hand, seized this opportunity and played steadily with Hag and Booker, slowly advancing near the center circle and approaching in front of the opponent's penalty area.
It was then that Bochum's defenders woke up from a dream, but their actions were ineffective for a while, and the ball was passed by Federico to Thiem on the left side of the penalty area.
Cellocchi scrambled over to block Thiem's shot angle and prevent him from firing a powerful shot from inside the box. However, Thiem just dummered and passed the ball to Federico, who was following behind.
After receiving the football, Federico looked up and quickly observed his teammate's movement. Before Danilo could step up to defend, Federico suddenly got up and passed the ball widely, and the ball landed precisely in front of Karlsruhe left-back Eichner.
"Nice ball! Federico's goal fully demonstrated his excellent footwork and good overall vision, and he deserved to be the most technically skilled player in Karlsruhe. With a large number of opposing players defending in the middle, this pass opened up Karlsruhe's attacking space at once. ”
Federico's offensive dispatch drew praise from Wells, the on-site commentator.
Eichner cut in at high speed, then dribbled along the right touchline, sprinted forward with all his might, and when he brought it to near the baseline, Eichner picked up his leg and crossed.
But his cross had already been guessed by Bochum's defender Bastians, and it was directly in the way of the football's flight.
Bastian lifted his leg and kept Eichner's pass out of bounds.
Corner kick!
Bochum goalkeeper Riemann gave Bastiens a thumbs up and praised him for his timely return and good defending.
Karlsruhe missed a good chance to attack, but they got a rare corner.
The first half had already been played for 40 minutes and as long as they capitalised on that corner, Karlsruhe could end the first half with a one-goal lead.
Federico took a corner, Bochum was almost full of people in the box, Tim and Freise were even more guarded by the opposing defenders, Booker and Hag were not very tall, and it was difficult to grab the landing point.
However, Bochum forgot about the other player, Federico quickly passed the ball and the unmarked Porcello scrambled to the back post.
He jumped up and down on the left side of the penalty area, used his chest to stop the ball, and then kicked the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.
