Chapter 330: Confrontation with Stuttgart (3)
"Well done! It's good that you're still there! Wu Feng and Zhang Cheng hugged each other, he could block it once, twice, but like this situation just now, he couldn't do anything, but fortunately, Zhang Cheng's reaction was also timely.
"Another Chinese player! These guys from China are so uncute! Kakaw glanced at Zhang Cheng very depressedly, but he still admired Zhang Cheng in his heart, whether it was his speed or his perseverance.
"Defend this ball!" Wu Feng stood in front of the goal again, commanding his teammates loudly, and Karlsruhe's morale was fully up.
Khedira threw the ball to Pardo, and when he stopped, Malk immediately pressed him in behind him, clinging to him with his body to prevent him from turning easily. Even turning around has become much more difficult for Pardo now.
However, Khedira ran into the field immediately after throwing the throw-in, and Pardo quickly passed the ball back to him. Khedira didn't go under, but sent the ball straight into the box at a 45-degree angle.
"Get me out!" Wu Feng observed the trajectory of the football flying in advance, yelled, and then quickly attacked, jumped high and punched the ball out. Although he is 9 centimeters shorter than Gomez, his jumping power is stronger, which is enough to make up for the gap in this regard, even the opponent of nearly 2 meters, who has also been defeated by Wu Feng in the air.
The football fell in front of Zhang Cheng outside the penalty area, and he looked up to see that Capalani in front of him had begun to start, and immediately picked up his right leg and made a beautiful super long pass!
This is also the reason why Becker decided to put Zhang Cheng in the main lineup so quickly, although his breakthrough and short pass penetration are not as good as Federico's, and his defense is much stronger than Federico. And one of his strengths that Federico can't match, that is, his judgment of the situation on the pitch and his excellent long passing!
Capalani comfortably cushioned the ball in front of him, then accelerated forward at a brisk pace. However, there is another shadow closely following him, who does not seem to be much worse than him in terms of speed, and it is none other than Stuttgart's new defensive leader, Delpierre.
However, although Capalani's speed is fast, Del Pierre is not slow, and he constantly uses his physical advantage to make reasonable charges against Capalani.
Soon Capalani was pinned down to the flanks by Del Pierre and could no longer pose a threat to the middle. However, Capalani will not sit still and run forward while estimating that his attacking players are almost in the box.
He immediately made a move to force an inward cut, and Del Pierre immediately squeezed his opponent with his body, believing that with his own strength, Capparani would never be able to hold the ball if he forced an inward cut.
But Capalani didn't force a breakthrough, he just wanted to create a gap in the ball. He passed the ball into the box early before he went to the ground, and Del Pierre lost the chance to block Capalani's cross by leaning on his body.
The ball flew to the middle of the penalty area in Stuttgart, where Karlsruhe centre-forward Ruibrand and Stuttgart's Tashcher awaited.
Tashcher had played against Ruibrand before, and he wanted to repeat the same trick he had done before, using some small moves to stop Ruibrand from jumping. Because he knows that Ruibrand is better than himself, both in height and physically.
However, Ruibrand also had a way to deal with it after suffering a loss, and he held Tashcher tightly with his hands. Then he quickly half-jumped and slammed his forehead into the flying football, and a beautiful lion shook his head to hit the goal.
The ball flew into the top left corner of the goal, and it seemed like it was there, and just as the Karlsruhe players were about to cheer for the goal, a big hand blocked their hopes.
Rafael, who jumped high and had long arms, saw the ball pass into the box early and was ready for Ruibrand's header. He reacted quickly and just as the ball was about to enter the back of the net, he flicked the ball out and the retreating Khedira cleared the ball with a big foot.
"What a great goalkeeper!" Ruibrand slammed the void hard, although he didn't push the ball into the corner just now due to Tashcher's interference, but the ball was still very fast, and it was actually saved by that guy.
Both sides wasted a chance to settle for a draw, with the goalkeepers of both sides becoming the protagonists of the game, blocking all of their opponents' shots.
"Pass the ball to the left side more! Offensive! Don't just focus on defense, that's not going to work! Becker shouted loudly off the pitch and Mela was not fast, which could be described as a gap in the Stuttgart backline.
In the 44th minute of the game, Zhang Cheng used his speed to cut off Basturk's ball in the backfield, and he did not pass the ball forward, but rushed forward with the ball himself.
Pardo pulled over from the middle and was ready to block him, but he was slow and was thrown behind by Zhang Cheng directly with a passing pass.
Mera rushed up, and although he was not as fast as Zhang Cheng, he believed that his defensive ability could force him into a dead end on the side.
Zhang Cheng didn't continue to take it, he waited for Mela to come up before passing the ball out. Federico caught the ball, and when Mera was stunned, Zhang Cheng ran past him quickly, and Federico also sent the ball to his feet again in time!
"Pretty two-over-one!" The shouts of commentator Jemais, resounded over the pitch as he felt like a goal was coming.
Zhang Cheng rushed forward with the ball on the wing, and there was no player in front of him who could stop him, and he smoothly rushed to the bottom line and then hoisted to the middle position.
The ball passed in front of goal, and neither Rafael, Tashcher and Delpierre of Stuttgart, nor Karlsruhe's Capalani and Ruibrand could touch it.
Just when the Stuttgart fans thought it was a mispass from the other side, at this time, Porcello appeared at the back post, and the unguarded he directly kicked and hit the far corner!
"Raphael again!" Jemaith yelled, making it impossible to tell whether he was regretful or excited, "He saved Stuttgart again!" At this time, Raphael seems to have let Stuttgart fans see the former Hildebrand! ”
Karlsruhe was active on the left during this period, with the fast Bolcello and Zhang Cheng taking turns attacking Stuttgart's left flank. And Basturk's defensive ability is not very strong, which makes Mela a a little tired.
Shortly after this attack, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break 0-0.
