Chapter 228: Fight to the end
Porcello had been slowly regaining his strength, he was waiting for his chance, and he knew that at this point, Karlsruhe's attack would not stop.
Although he didn't understand the truth of one road in Huashan since ancient times, there was only one way in front of them at this moment, and that was to attack.
Wu Feng has done a good job of defending, and now it's time for a few of their counter-attacking players to act.
In the 87th minute, Bolcello made a personal breakthrough and after connecting two Nuremberg defenders, he finished with a beautiful shot from the left side of the box.
Unfortunately, his shot was scraped from behind by Wolff and finally held by Nuremberg goalkeeper Schaefer.
Soon it was Nuremberg's attack, and in the 88th minute, Banovic made a direct pass, and after receiving the ball, Mintal shot at a small angle on the left side of the penalty area, but was quickly blocked by Wu Feng.
In the 89th minute, Nuremberg made a comeback, this time planned by Mintal, and Sayenko broke into the right side of the penalty area with a single knife, and the situation in Karlsruhe became critical again.
If Nuremberg had scored a goal at this point, Karlsruhe would have been completely out of action, and Jonas knew that, and he was desperately trying to chase it back, but it was clear that he didn't have much chance.
However, at this critical time, Wu Feng stood up again!
Sayenko volleyed hard near the goal area, but Wu Feng made a tiger save to block Saenko's close-range shot, and the suspense of the championship continued to be maintained.
Despite the series of dangers in front of the goal at the last moment, Wu Feng's defense still did not have a single hole, and even he continued to encourage his teammates and command them to continue to press forward.
Soon it was 90 minutes and the linesman held up the sign for five minutes of stoppage time, and if there was still a draw, they would have played 15 minutes of extra time and even a penalty shoot-out to decide the winner.
There was less and less time left in normal play, and fans in the stands on both sides were cheering wildly, hoping that the team would score the game-killing goal in stoppage time.
However, among the many fans, more than 30,000 neutral fans feel that the game will go to extra time, and they are already waiting for the arrival of extra time.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Porcello started his solo performance again, and Karlsruhe has the best technique at his feet except for the injured Federico.
He went back to the wing where he was good and broke through along the left wing, dribbling the ball all the way to the left edge of the Nuremberg penalty area, and then suddenly switching in!
Porcello did not go back to participate in the defense before, but quietly recovered his strength near the center circle, he knew that his defensive level was limited, so he could only pin his hopes on Wu Feng, and Wu Feng did not disappoint him, and the hope of the game was still kept.
After these ten minutes of recovery, now is the time when his physical strength and condition are at their best, and he has to fully exert himself in the last few minutes, so as to live up to Wu Feng's desperate defense.
At the same time, Nuremberg's defenders are now very much less fit, running less quickly and agile than they used to, or they are starting to think that the game will continue in extra time.
In the face of Porcello's deft advance, they all felt a little struggling to do so.
It is necessary to complete the task of defense, but also to be careful not to foul casually, Wu Feng's free kick almost scored in the first half, and they all know Wu Feng's power.
In the face of such arduous defensive pressure, every defender at Nuremberg tensed his nerves, for fear that he would accidentally commit a foul.
If they are still physically active, with their super individual ability, they can basically complete defensive actions relatively safely.
However, when there is a lot of physical decline, and the opponent is a player with full energy and excellent skills, then they will inevitably make a lot of mistakes.
A few minutes earlier, Porcello had beaten two men in a row, which was the most obvious proof that they did not dare to foul easily, and that they lacked physical strength.
But fortunately, Bolcello's shooting skill level is not too strong, and he was blocked, so it was still defused.
Otherwise, he could have scored first for Karlsruhe and could well have been the only goal of the game.
At this moment, Porcello made a comeback with his nimble foot technique. After shaking off Beecham, Bolcello immediately resolutely dribbled the ball and cut in, playing with speed.
At this time, there is only one central defender in front of him, Wolff, as long as he passes him, he can burst into the box and face the goalkeeper. When Wolf saw Porcello, he immediately stepped forward in his course, confident in his own abilities.
And as he moved forward, Wolf didn't forget to observe Capalani's movement with the rest of his eye. So when defending, Wolf tried to block between Bolcello and Capalani, in case Polcello suddenly crossed when he cut inside, allowing Capalani to score in the box.
Wolf has a lot of experience in the game, he has a strong individual defensive ability, and he will not be easily passed. In the face of Porcello's attack, he looked very cautious in every move.
At the moment, it seems that Porcello does not take advantage of him, and it is very difficult. However, after Porcello became a striker, his sense of responsibility was much stronger.
Even against the best defender at Nuremberg, he was not afraid at all, still playing at his own pace and running with him.
In the midst of the entanglement, he glanced at his teammate's running position and immediately made a feint to pass the ball. It looked as if he was about to pass the ball to Capalani in the box.
The moment Porcello took aim at Capalani, Glauber, who was in charge of defending Capalani, immediately took a step forward and exposed Capalani's position to offside.
At this time, once Bolcello passed the ball, Capalani was also offside, it can be said that Glauber's defensive action this time was very appropriate and timely, which shows that Nuremberg's defensive ability is not weak.
But Glauber's actions were in vain, and Bolcello had no intention of passing the ball at all, he was just feigning this feint to distract his opponents.
Seeing that his right foot quickly crossed the ball, but with the outside of his instep to flick the ball to the right, Bolcello immediately continued to walk along the line of the penalty area, preparing to burst into the box later.
But Wolf is also eye-catching, taking advantage of the moment the football leaves Porcello's body, Wolf takes a step forward, trying to take the first step and destroy the football.
