Chapter 14: The Sea of Blood

The ferocious fouls of the Beneyundo players in this game did not stop because of the referee's yellow card, in fact, their coach Novellino set up before the game to restrain Descartes with ferocious maneuvers until he retreated out of fear.

But Mr. Novellino underestimated Descartes' tenacity.

Yes, there are many young geniuses who live in a smooth sailing environment all year round, which leads to their extremely poor psychological tolerance, such as Deisler, who was directly frightened by the vicious fouls on the court, and even suffered from depression.

But Descartes was by no means the same as them. He had already tasted the ups and downs on the pitch when he was young, and being rejected by Milan and Juventus in succession made him mature a lot, his persistence in football and his desire to win never diminished, and he was able to drag his sick body to this point, and his efforts are unimaginable.

How can such a player be psychologically fragile?

So Novellino had the wrong idea from the beginning, and the more fierce his players were, the more they could stir up Descartes' blood name.

As the game approached 80 minutes and the score was still 0-0, Benniyundu used their energy to foul Descartes, while Pavia was playing very fluidly because of the frequent downing of the attacking core.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Mr. Donatoni was furious, and he told his assistant his instructions through the fans on the sidelines, and Pavia replaced a midfielder with a high school striker Caron, who shone in the last semi-final.

Again?

Novelino pursed his lips disdainfully, he had carefully studied the match between Pavia and Novara in the last round, and found that although the high school striker Cuarón performed well in that game, his skills were really bad messes, if it wasn't for Novara's head coach Tesel being caught off guard, how could such a stupid big man call for wind and rain in the front court?

So he already had a way to deal with Caron, and when Caron came on, Novellino waved his hand, and Benny Yundu was replaced by a tall defender.

This is their backup defender Carini, like Caron, Carini's skills are also very rough, but as a defender, the technical requirements are not so high, and Carini is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 103kg, which is stronger than Caron.

So the two tall door gods began to fight for an inch on the court, one is 1.93 meters and the other is 1.88 meters.

But because the two were entangled together, Mr. Donatoni's intention to replace Caron was not implemented, and after Caron was entangled by Carini, Pavia failed to take much advantage of the header, and the situation on the field still could not be broken.

The game has passed 80 minutes.

The only good thing is that after Cuarón came on the court, Benny Yundu had to devote some of his energy to helping defense, especially defending his aerial duels, so Descartes was much less under pressure and received fewer fouls.

Descartes was roaming around Caron, looking for a fatal one.

After another five minutes, the opportunity that Descartes had been waiting for finally came.

Cuarón and Carini are entangled, and the odds of the two dubbing for the top are almost evenly matched, but it also means that Caron can still fight for 50 per cent of the headers.

Most of those headers were disrupted by Benny Yundu's defenders, but Descartes managed to grab one with his keen sense of smell.

The moment he got the ball, another Benny Yundu defender slammed his body into him like a battering ram.

In the previous game, Benny Yundu's players were actively looking for opportunities to have a physical confrontation with Descartes, and the referee's whistle was soft, causing Descartes to stumble every time he dribbled the ball, and was forced to squeeze away after being close to the opponent several times.

This time, Bennyyundo's defenders were clearly prepared to repeat their old tactics and once again stifle Descartes' offense outside the box.

But this time it was different, because Descartes had a "shield".

Descartes saw the defender rushing towards him, but instead of panicking, he dribbled the ball horizontally along the line of the penalty area, and the Benny Yundu defender had a sinister smile on his face and wanted to run? He picked up the speed of the addition and rushed towards Descartes in a rugby style.

But just as he was about to catch up with Descartes, a "wall of flesh" suddenly blocked in front of him, and his body crashed into it defenselessly, and then bounced to the ground like hitting an iron plate.

It turned out that Cuarón did not stop after grabbing the header, he ran in the direction of Descartes, and at the same time Descartes was also running towards him, and the moment the two staggered, Cuarón used a "pick-and-roll" action similar to that on a basketball court to block the Benny Yundu defender behind him.

With both men in high velocity and Caron clearly closing the foul before making contact, the referee didn't blow him for a blocking foul, and Descartes brushed past him to get rid of the pestering defender.

This was the first time in this game that Descartes took the ball near the opponent's penalty line, but was not treated by the opponent's "flesh to meat".

The two Benniyundo defenders who had been stationed in the penalty area immediately panicked, and Descartes got rid of the defender and was now ready to shoot at any time, so they didn't think much about it at all, and rushed out in unison, ready to intercept Descartes' shot path.

Descartes did lift his foot as the two rushed up, and judging by his expression, this shot would surely be full of his rage, and he would shoot mercilessly at Benny Yundu's door.

The two defenders couldn't care so much anymore, both sliding tackles on the ground, and the goal of the tackle was very unclear, as if it were against the ball, and as if it was against Descartes' ankle.

Even at such times, they did not forget the instructions of the head coach, Mr. Novellino, to intimidate Descartes with the most savage but non-foul moves possible, and to leave a thick shadow on his heart even if they could not stop him.

However, Descartes was not deterred by their ferocious movements, on the contrary, his right foot, which had been raised high, fell slightly, and then flicked the ball sideways, easily dodging the sliding tackles of the two defenders.

It's a feint.

Remorseful, the two defenders struggled to get up from the ground before struggling to chase Descartes.

But can Descartes face the opposing door after shaking off two defenders who are close to fouling?

No, Benny Cloud's defense certainly won't be that simple.

In addition to the two centre-backs in the box, they also have a left-back who has just returned to the defensive position.

So Descartes also has a defender in front of him.

In such a short period of time, Descartes used his simplified version of the "ox tail" to pass the ball between his feet, and before the opponent could react, his ankle shook slightly, and the ball drilled under the opponent's crotch, and Descartes followed and wiped it past the opponent.

But when he passed by the opponent's left back, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh, and it turned out that the opponent's defender knew that he couldn't stop him after being pierced through the crotch, so he deliberately took a step sideways and pushed his knee to the inner thigh of Descartes.

If Descartes goes down at this point, the referee will usually award a penalty and give at least a yellow card to the opposing defender.

But Descartes didn't do that. He was violated by the opponent one after another in this game, and he had already held back an evil fire in his heart, if he hadn't learned a lesson from Inter Milan at the beginning, he would have retaliated back with ferocious actions now. But he has been holding back this evil fire, in order to break through the opponent's goal hard, and then despise the opponent's ugly face to the fullest.

Penalties obviously don't have that effect.

He wants to let them know that no matter how ugly they try and no matter how dirty their minds are, they can't stop themselves from breaking their goals, and he wants to make them feel like clowns, completely cutting a wound in their filthy hearts.

So he gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his thigh, and forced himself past the opponent's left-back.

The opponent's left-back fell to the ground, then raised his hand high and signaled to the referee that Descartes had fouled, but the referee saw it very clearly, the ball was obviously fouled by him first, fortunately Descartes did not fall to the ground, otherwise he should have blown the whistle and pulled out a yellow card at this time.

And this defender was still there to signal for a foul by Descartes, which was simply a thief shouting to catch a thief, and the referee unconsciously had a bad impression of Benny Yundu's players.

Descartes, on the other hand, had brushed past the left-back but still didn't get a chance to get his feet off because the two centre-backs who had just slid the tackle caught up with him.

Due to the position, both of them were leaned behind by Descartes, but Descartes also couldn't get up his feet, because once he raised his foot, the other party would definitely destroy from behind, no matter whether the opponent fouled or the destruction was successful, he couldn't achieve the goal of hitting the opponent psychologically.

So he chose to protect the ball with his back first, and then leaned hard behind him, trying to squeeze a space to get out of the foot.

But under the pressure of the two tall central defenders of the opposing team, Descartes was still squeezed to the edge of the small penalty area, and at this time he was facing the goal laterally, in front of the opponent's goalkeeper, one of the opposing central defenders was trying to poke the ball out of his feet around Descartes' body.

However, at the moment when the two opposing defenders separated, Descartes suddenly made an unbelievable move.

He tucked the ball between his feet and jumped up like a frog, but the direction he jumped was behind him.

Since one of the two defenders was about to go around in front of Descartes to destroy the ball, there was a gap between the two, but Descartes took advantage of this gap to make a Blanco-style "frog jump", and it was a back-to-back "frog jump".

This action completely stunned Bennyyundu's two central defenders, and even the left-back who was following them to help the defense was stunned, because in the blink of an eye, Descartes, who was originally in front of the two central defenders, suddenly appeared behind the two, although his steps staggered, but he still swept hard towards the ball at the moment when he was about to fall.

The sudden appearance of the ball was so unresponsive to Benny Yundu's goalkeeper that by the time he saw it come to a standstill, it was already in the net.

“goallllllllllllllllllll!” The on-site commentator on the sidelines let out an angry roar, this goal is so wonderful!

From Caron doing the cover to Descartes scoring the goal, it was only less than ten seconds in total, but in this short ten seconds, Descartes twice played the opponent's two central defenders, and forced past the opponent's left back, although Descartes' breakthrough is not top-notch, but he never disappointed at critical moments!

It was nothing short of this year's Serie C Cup, no, the best goal in all of Italy!

The audience on the sidelines couldn't help but jump, they cheered, roared, and vented their frustration for the first eighty minutes, and their voices converged into a noisy sound wave, which directly broke through the sky.

After Descartes sat up from the ground, he didn't celebrate wildly, he just looked at the three guards of the opposing side with contemptuous eyes, and then shrugged his shoulders and made a "no way" movement.

No way, it's so easy to break through you.

The three defenders of the opposing side drooped their heads, looking directly at Descartes with anger in their eyes, they understood very well why Descartes would make such a provocative move, in fact, in this game, they made a lot of small moves to Descartes, some of which were not too much to blow the whistle or even take out the cards if they encountered a stricter referee, but Descartes had been holding back, he was waiting for this moment, and slapped them in the face with an unstoppable goal.

Even their dirtiest tactics could not stop Descartes' goal, and this is the difference between mortals and geniuses.

After the game, the media also carried a lot of coverage on this once-in-a-century goal, which they not only regarded as the best goal of the year in Italy, but also called it "In the sea of blood, Descartes appeared at the door of the opponent with a big knife, he was like a general in ancient times, and it was easy to take the head of the enemy's general in the formation of ten thousand armies." ”

"The most talented performance of the year, Descartes showed you how to get past the opposition twice in the box and then score with ease."

"A show of genius, even a foul can't stop Descartes' goal."

……

Relying on Descartes' brilliant goal, Pavia finally beat Beniyundo 1-0 at home, making a good start to the two-legged title showdown.

But that's not the end of it.
