Chapter 13: Because I Can Score
Adrian kicked the turf in frustration, the opposing defender followed too closely, and he barely shot the ball just now.
"It's okay, Adrian, there's still a chance." Mo Ya secretly sighed and greeted him.
"I know, Sesk, the midfield depends on you, so don't worry about it at me." Adrian hastened to reassure.
The players on the field were still regretting the ball just now, but Grecel's face changed dramatically.
The Ameyari players, who had been defending passively, suddenly began to press forward, and even the defenders came to the halfway line, leaving Moya and Adrian, who had just completed an attack, behind the offside line.
"Back to the defense! Back to defense! Go back to the defense! ”
Valencia's players were not rookies and reacted quickly, but the goal kick was quickly snatched up by Ameari.
Ameari's captain Marchena took the ball and found his left midfielder with a precise long pass, and the opponent also adjusted slightly after receiving the ball, and then drove the ball straight to the bottom line, shook off the defense of Valencia fullback Busque and rushed directly to the goal.
Everyone looked nervously into the penalty area, only to see a tall figure leaping high and smashing the ball against Antonio.
That's William. Nathan, who is 1.93 meters tall, has a strong body, excellent bounce, and has a bit of skill at his feet, but his header skills are top-notch, and such a shot is as easy as eating for him.
Cayo reacted quickly and made a timely save, but although he touched the ball, he couldn't prevent it from going into the net.
1:0。
The Mestalla Stadium, which had just been bustling with activity, suddenly became much quieter, and only a small poke of fans of the visiting team suddenly jumped up and cheered indulgingly.
What could be better than celebrating a goal on the opponent's turf?
"William. Nathan's header changed the game, and now in the 23rd minute, Ameari scored on his first attack and Valencia was on the verge of being on the back foot. ”
Ugo seems to have decided to disagree with Mikel today, saying: "That's right, it's only twenty-three minutes, and there is still a chance." ”
Mikel didn't raise the bar with him, but mentioned the goal, saying: "This is the most common attacking routine of Ameyari this season, simple and rough long passes, midfielders find wings, and then crosses from the wings, typical English style, of course, this routine has to have a high school striker who is good at heading, and Brady brought Willian from England. Nathan is the best choice, having scored six headers this season. ”
Ameyari's players rushed to the sidelines, pinned William Nathan, who was as strong as a cub, and cheered heartily.
A win would give them five points away from Valencia and the threat behind them would be more than half of the way out.
Grecel called Busque to the sidelines and gave instructions until the game resumed.
After taking the lead, Ameari did not set up a bucket in his own half, but played more cautiously, entangled with Valencia in midfield, and Valencia's lone centre-forward Adrian appeared to be idle in the opposition penalty area.
Neither side had any good chances, and Grecel's set-up had some effect, with the opposing wings being contained, but Valencia were also dragged into the midfield for a scuffle, until half-time, when Moya was brought down by the opposition midfielder on the edge of the box, and Valencia had a direct free-kick opportunity.
"It's on the right side of the box, about 25 metres from the goal, and it's time for Sesque's show."
Gressel stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, while Brady stared at Moya with his hands on his chest, as if he was going to slap his free-kick away.
It was the final stages of stoppage time, with Valencia squeezing in all but goalkeeper Cayo, with both players standing in Ameari's half.
Adrian and Lucio were in the box, clinging to the opposing defenders, while the others were scattered around the wall, ready to shoot.
As the referee's whistle blew, Moya quickly ran up, swung his legs, and shot.
This ball is of high quality, and it is what he is best at, and the angle of the ball is very tricky, and when it flies in front of the goal, there will be a significant drop, which makes the goalkeeper unguardable.
'Brilliant shot, the ball went around the wall, in the frame of the goal, oh, saved, the ball got to Lucio, there was still a chance.
Mo Ya waved his hand in annoyance, he thought he had it, but he didn't expect the opponent's goalkeeper to be able to pounce, seeing that Lucio, who was holding the ball, had fallen into a surroundment, he hurriedly stepped forward to respond.
Lucio's footwork is far less delicate than Moya's, it is very difficult to protect the ball, and after seeing Moya, he quickly passed the ball over, who knew that the opponent's defender had already prepared, and directly stabbed out and cut off his pass.
The ball came to the feet of Ameyari's midfielder, and the opponent saw it and kicked it out without looking.
Grecel was so upset that he hurried to the fourth official and shouted, "Hey, what's going on? Stoppage time has passed. ”
"Calm down, Mr. Marco, the game won't be over until the referee's whistle blows."
"Nonsense! I now wonder why his damn whistle didn't go off, give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll have complained to the FA! ”
"Watch your attitude, Coach Marko, or I wouldn't mind letting you cool off in the stands."
In just a few words, the situation on the field changed abruptly.
The ball passed by the Ameari midfielder was not far away, and was met by Willian. Nathan grabbed it and gave the header to another striker, Eduardo.
Brady still plays the same set of one high and one fast in the last century, Nathan is in charge of high, and Eduardo is in charge of fast.
Compared to the tall and muscular Nathan, Eduardo was a pocket man, and he received the ball and sprinted towards Valencia's half with a light sprint.
"Eduardo catches the ball, there's no one in front of him, they're in their own half now, so it's not offside, Antonio and Busque are chasing back like crazy, but it doesn't work, Eduardo is too fast, he should go to the sprint instead of playing football."
Eduardo rode into the box under the watchful eye of the crowd and calmly fired the ball into the far corner in the face of the onrushing Cayo.
2:0。
Gressel glanced at Eduardo, who had rushed to the sidelines to hug Brady, and turned to walk into the locker room.
No one knows what happened in Valencia's dressing room at half-time, in short, after the start of the second half, Valencia's players were like crazy, fighting aggressively and attacking sharply, but Ameari has begun to defend firmly, Valencia not only failed to expand the score, but was also caught off guard by Ameari's counterattack in the 60th minute, if it weren't for Cayo's courage to save Eduardo's close-up shot, I'm afraid the score would have become 3-0.
Time passed quietly, Chu Yang, who had been sitting on the bench for nearly seventy minutes, was very depressed, the team had changed two people, but the head coach had no intention of replacing him at all, he simply stood up and walked towards Grecel.
"What's wrong, Chu?" Heck. Onnes looked at Chu Yang who stood up and wondered.
"It's nothing, discuss something with the chief."
"Well, I know how you're feeling, but ......"
"No, you don't." Chu Yang interrupted him unhappily.
Mom came all the way to see a defeat where her son couldn't play? What is this called?
"Boss." Chu Yang came to the sidelines and stood beside Grecel.
Grecel, who was nervously observing the situation on the field, was startled, turned his head to look at him, frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"I want to play." Chu Yang went straight to the road.
"You want to play?" Grecel laughed angrily and pointed to the other players on the bench, "They want to play too, why should I replace you?" ”
"Because I can score goals."
