Chapter 120: Defeat is like a mountain
******
In the 23rd minute, CSKA Moscow replaced midfielder Zherkov with Olich, the team lineup began to shrink, becoming a four-four-four formation, Gazaev could only pin his hopes on striker Olich, and now that the team has been sent off, the home team Valencia will definitely seize this opportunity to start a crazy attack in their own home stadium, and the defensive counterattack is the team's only chance.
Even Carvalho, the heart of the midfield, was asked by Gazaev to join his own defence, leaving only Olic in front of him as a fulcrum for counter-attacks.
The away team was sent off, Valencia with eleven to ten, for such an opportunity, of course Ranieri in the stands will not let go, hurriedly took a few steps forward, blocked the sight of the two UEFA staff, pulled open his windbreaker, buttoned the collar, and said in a low voice, "Ask the team to strengthen the attack, now the opponent is one less, we have to take advantage of the victory to chase and beat the water dogs!" ”
Soon, Benetti ran to the sideline, put his thumb and forefinger together to his mouth, blew a whistle, and when Baraha turned his head, he hooked his fingers, and the latter came to the sideline and gave a few words.
The visitors CSKA Moscow were thoroughly on the defensive, with Valencia, led by Elo, Vicente and Aimar, launching a fierce attack on CSKA Moscow's goal.
The intensity of the attack made the home fans in the stands cheer non-stop.
The gate guarded by Akinfeev seemed to be breached at any moment.
In less than half an hour, several members of CSKA Moscow began to gasp, as a professional player, there must be no problem in terms of physical fitness, what went wrong was mentality.
Conceding a goal in less than a minute of the opening game and being sent off in less than 20 minutes is a blow that no team can accept.
In the 29th minute, Iroh and Ferrer passed three times in a row at the edge of the penalty area, and Ardonning took the lead and rushed towards Iro, and at the moment when Ardonning rushed up, Iroh bounced the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, and the football rolled to Albelda, who stepped on the ball, and then exerted his strength on the spot, and came with a long shot thirty yards from the goal.
The ball was menacing and flew straight to the top right corner of the goal.
Akinfeev was well prepared, saw the momentum of the football, and pounced towards the far corner with the momentum of small broken steps, and when he jumped to the highest point, he suddenly found that his feet were weak, and his extended right arm could not be extended for another half a minute, and the feeling of disappointment suddenly came, and at the same time, the body began to fall because of the law of gravity.
Bang -
The crisp sound of a soccer ball hitting the beam.
Akinfeev was overjoyed.
When the fans in the stands heard this, they threw themselves back and fell to their seats, as if the ball had hit them instead of on the crossbar.
After the football hit the crossbar hard, Gazaev's back was instantly covered with cold sweat again, grasping the shirt with his left hand, unbuttoning the shirt with his right hand, and only after feeling comfortable, he sighed.
"Don't let them take their feet lightly! Stand in a defensive position!! ”
Gazaev shouted.
******
A qiē and a qiē all predicted that CSKA Moscow was about to end, but they still gritted their teeth and stuck to their half, even if they knew that this game could not be turned into a victory, they knew that they were a warrior, and since they were a warrior, they should stick to it like a warrior until the end of the game!
All the defenders of CSKA Moscow are ready to hold on to the score, and when it comes to half-time, I believe the manager will have a solution, just like last year's miraculous reversal of the city's arch-rivals Spartak Moscow to win the Russian Premier League title.
However, they were immediately hit in the face.
In the 36th minute, after Ayala broke the football at the feet of Olic in the backfield, he passed directly to Vicente on the right side, but the strength was a little bigger, Vicente could not stop the ball at the first time under the interference of Rasimic, so he jumped up and gave the ball to Baraja, and did not stop in place after landing, but continued to run forward.
Baraja chested the ball and before Carvalho did, he paddled the ball with the arch of his right foot to Albelda, who passed the ball on the other side, and the ball flew to the right, in the gap on the left side of CSKA Moscow.
Sembellas' heart pounded when he saw the ball fly into the space behind him, and at the same time there seemed to be a wind blowing around him.
Dangerous!
A sense of crisis came out of my heart.
Hurriedly turned around, just saw a white jersey, a big No. 14 behind him, and in a hurry, he stretched out his right hand, ready to leave the person with a foul.
However, the outstretched right hand grabbed it, but found that it had not caught anything.
He's empty!
"Vicente again! He was very active in this game! The first goal was caused by his wide break, which caused a wave of chaos in the CSKA Moscow penalty area, and it was Wonder Boy Ai who scored a goal, will there be the same result this time? ”
The home fans in the East Stand were particularly excited today, and Vicente could be seen up close to showing his excellent pace, with CSKA Moscow full-back Sembellas as a reference to him as an ugly supporting character.
In the blink of an eye, Vicente chased the ball and led it towards the penalty area with the instep of his right foot.
He's ready to cut inside!
Ferrer and Iroh suddenly accelerated one after the other and rushed towards the restricted area of CSKA Moscow.
Even Albelda has crossed the arc top of the CSKA exclusion zone in Moscow
Akinfeev hurriedly instructed the defenders to pay attention to Valencia's attacking players, especially Ailo - the subconscious meaning that no one can score and no Ailo can score.
Because the three goals conceded in these two semi-finals were scored by Iroh, so to speak, he 'hated Aelo' to the core!
Vicente used his speed to pass Sembellas, and when he was about to enter the box, V. Berezudski rushed to fill in the position.
Seeing V. Berezudsky hurriedly stepped forward, his feet stopped the momentum, his feet stumbled, his body quickly stopped, and then his upper body shook, and his right foot slid over the top of the football, V. Berezudsky was unmoved, Vicente suddenly went to the bottom line again, and he was ready to go outside!
V. Berezudski was tall, more than 1.9 meters, and his reaction speed could not keep up with Vicente's start-up speed, so Vicente took advantage of the time difference and suddenly swept the football out of the penalty area.
A. Berezussky and Ignashevic, who were standing in the penalty area defending Iello and Ferrer, were subconsciously stunned, and Ardonin, Odiach and Rasimic saw the football rolling in the opposite direction of their own advance, and quickly stopped the momentum, but did not stop at the first time because of inertia.
Fortunately, their bottom plate was very stable, and after stumbling a few steps, they were about to run back, and at this moment - they saw a white figure appear like lightning in front of the trajectory of the football, and the movement of their feet under the tension was strangely faster by half a minute!
Rasimic, who had just run into the penalty area, reacted the fastest, using his strong waist and abdomen to force his waist twisting, while gritting his teeth and turning around, his left leg slightly bent and stretched out his right leg.
At the same time as Albelda faced the football, he looked at Rasimic in front of him as if he did not exist, picked up his right foot, and pumped it to the middle and lower part of the football, in order to avoid Rasimic who fell to the ground and expanded the defensive area, in order to seek stability, the ball used an upward force, and the football flew from the top of Rasimic's thigh to the goal guarded by Akinfeev.
At the moment of the football's kick, Albelda felt that the ball should be there if there was no accident, in the usual training, Vicente passed back to the front of the penalty area in front of the bottom line, and then shot with his own foot, in the case of Canizares guarding the gate, the goal rate was basically more than sixty percent, which is a very high number, thinking of this, he added another point to his grasp of this goal.
The speed of the soccer ball is very fast, with little to no spin in the air, which also allows the ball to reach its highest point in high-speed operation, and almost in the blink of an eye, the ball flies in front of the goal.
Due to the obstruction of vision, it was too late for Akinfeev to see the football ready to react, he subconsciously stretched out his right arm, and at this moment, the football fell sharply and flew into the net from under his right arm.
“gooooooooooooooaaallllllll――”
Mario Coke's iconic voice emanated from the radio at the Mestalla Stadium.
Almost at the same time, the home fans in the stands jerked to their feet and erupted with an astonishing burst of energy, with a tsunami of cheers echoing through the Mestalla stadium.
2:0

Originally, when he saw Vicente pass the ball outside the penalty area, Gazaev's tight heart was released violently, so he picked up the nutrient water at his feet, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip, but before he could swallow it, he heard the goal sound on the radio, and spit out the nutrient water in his mouth, and at the same time smashed the bottle in his hand to the field, venting the frustration of the team conceding the goal again.
He knows that this goal is a complete prediction that CSKA Moscow has completely missed the final of this season's UEFA Cup, although there is still more than half of the game, and it is not impossible to chase three goals, but the most important thing for the team is that there is one less person on the field, how can this be played?
The CSKA Moscow players on the field were also helpless about the goal they had conceded - almost the moment they conceded the goal, the fighting spirit in their eyes disappeared without a trace.
Gazaev sighed again and returned to the dugout.
・・・・
"Beautiful! It's so beautiful!! The biggest contributor to this goal is still Vicente, who is very active in this game, the lightning speed attracted the opponent's three defenders, and the old routine of simple baseline return to the front of the penalty area deceived all the defenders, allowing Albelda to easily score from a distance, Vicente remembered the first credit! ”
"This goal was almost sent to Valencia to enter the final, and CSKA Moscow, which fought with one less person, has no possibility of a comeback...
******
After Albelda scored this long-range shot, the players of CSKA Moscow felt like they had lost their souls, and the previously stable defense line suddenly became full of holes.
Before the end of the first half, Iello used his individual ability to break through the stake-like A. Berezudski and Odiah into the penalty area one after another, and in the face of Ignavich's defense, he simply pulled and dunked the latter.
After Shunbin attracted V. Berezudski to him, the ball rolled towards the unmarked Ferrer with a flick of the outside of his right foot, and with a slight push of his right foot, the ball grazed the right post and rolled into the goal.
3:0
The successive goals have made the home fans in the stands have no freshness, but after Ferrer scored this goal, they slowly stood up and applauded.
