Chapter 147: The Home Goalpost of the Defection
******
After Yadim stood on the sidelines and yelled, the players still did not react, and continued to keep their heads high, not knowing what they were thinking, so he quickly turned around and yelled at Douala and Nikule, who were warming up.
"Douala, Nikula!"
The two of them put on their jerseys and ran to the head coach and listened to the dispatch.
Yadim's assistant whispered a lot to the two of them, then pushed them next to the fourth assistant referee and signaled that he needed to make a substitution.
At this time, the referee just blew the whistle for the resumption of the game, and did not allow Sporting Lisbon to make substitution adjustments, Sporting Lisbon has now fallen to the lowest point, most of the players in Valencia know to strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of his illness to kill him, if you hurry up and score another goal before the opponent substitution, then this season's UEFA Cup champion will be properly in the pocket...
Soon, Marchena cut off the football at the feet of the absent-minded Moutinho, and by the time Roshenbach reacted and wanted to fight back, Marchena had already passed the ball to Albelda, the team's metronome, and Roshenbach chased after Albelda again.
Albelda didn't let the football stay at his feet too much, and passed the ball directly to Vicente, who was running on the right, because of the successive flashes of Ailo before, at this moment Miguel Garcia was grabbing his jersey to prevent him from starting, and Albelda, who had a wide vision, chose to pass the football to Vicente on the right.
At the same time, Aimar, Ferrer, and Iroh shot straight into the heart of Sporting Lisbon in three directions.
Seeing this, Yadim almost popped out his eyes, and hurriedly ran to the sideline again and shouted loudly: "Foul, foul!! He didn't pay any attention to the strange look in the fourth assistant referee looking at him, looking at him as if he was going to go up and fight himself.
I don't know if it's because Vicente is not able to support his body or because of the opponent's foul, Vicente, who was halfway through, suddenly stopped, and suddenly fell to the ground, covering his right foot and thigh...
"Is this - foul or ???"
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came through the narrator's mind.
Subsequently, the football flew out of the bottom line, the flag of the referee on the sideline pointed in the direction of Sporting Lisbon's attack, Sporting Lisbon's throw-in, this is... No foul!
Then, the referee blew the whistle for Valencia's team doctor to come in...
Acting head coach Benetti's heart suddenly panned and muttered, "Wouldn't it? In order to prevent accidents, he hurriedly shouted to David Silva: "David, go warm up!" β
About half a minute later, Valencia's team doctor made a gesture towards Benetti that needed to be replaced, and the latter nodded to indicate that he understood.
And Sporting Lisbon also took advantage of this opportunity to make two substitution adjustments.
Nicule replaces the inactive Pinto, while Douala replaces the scorer Rogerio.
******
Sporting Lisbon's change in spirit has improved and there is still time, as Yadim said, Valencia can score two goals in five minutes and they will.
As a result, the momentum of Sporting Lisbon has risen again...
Although momentum is something that cannot be seen or touched, it has a very big impact on the course of the game, and sometimes it can affect the outcome of the whole game.
Taking advantage of the momentum of this time, Sporting Lisbon stepped up their attack, and in the 70th minute, Barbosa broke through the Aurelio defense on the right and passed through the rib gap, and substitute Nicole fired a low shot wide of the far post from 22 yards.
Two minutes later, Barbosa was brought to the ground by Ayala on the edge of the box after a succession of past Marchena and Aurelio, and Sporting Lisbon won a well-placed free-kick, which was then deflected wide of the far post by Lederson with a header from Navarro from nine yards.
Sporting Lisbon had a succession of shots, which made the acting head coach Benetti, who was watching the game from the sidelines, extremely nervous, and after taking the lead, he had an ominous premonition, very afraid that the team would be equalized in the shaky situation...
As the game progressed and the time entered the last ten minutes of regular time, the physical fitness of both sides was also at a critical point.
In the 81st minute, Sporting Lisbon ushered in a great opportunity, former Portugal international Barbosa played a delicate combination with Moutinho on the right side, attracting the defensive attention of Marchena, Albelda and Aurelio, Moutinho got the ball and went straight to the right side, Tello plugged in at high speed, and ran hard Cheng dΓΉ, as if he wanted to vent the strength of the whole game, he was suppressed in his own half by Vicente almost the whole game, unable to move, this time ushered in a great opportunity, With no one marking, the cross was direct, and in the Valencia penalty area, there was an instant uproar.
Nikulai, who had just come on the pitch, was as strong as a calf, Navarro couldn't even push, and Ayala was still staring at Leedson and didn't have time to help him defend Nikule.
The two central midfielders, Albelda and Marchena, have long been transferred out of their defensive zone by the combination of Barbosa and Moutinho, and the current Valencia back can be said to be in the weakest state.
The Valencia fans in the stands also became nervous at this time, and they had a much wider view in the stands than the players playing on the field.
Tello's cross uses a force to spin inward, and it flies very fast in the air, so Canizares is not easy to attack, which is also a common problem of all goalkeepers who are not very tall, and their ability to judge high balls is not strong.
Leedson in front and Nicole in the middle each jumped high but failed to reach the ball, which made Navarro, who was still very nervous before, the pressure disappeared in an instant, and the football continued to fly, and when it came to the back of the goal, Italian Moretti faced the goal, looked at the landing point of the football, and prepared to come to a difficult barb to clear the siege.
Moretti's idea of barbbing and clearing the siege was right, but he forgot that he had been running for more than 80 minutes, and his physical fitness had already declined, and doing such a difficult action was easy to deform in this situation, so at this time...
His center of gravity dropped, he leaned back, and kicked the ball with his right foot at high speed towards the back post.
******
'Tello received a through ball from Moutinho and went straight into it unmarked, which is the most efficient full-back in the Portuguese Premier League this season from the wing, and we'll see... Leedsen at the front point misses, huh? Nicole also missed, and the ball flew to the back post!! β
"Italian Moretti barbs to clear ???"
The local commentator in Portugal saw that he was about to lose this opportunity, and his heart inevitably became uncomfortable, and he became powerless to explain, but after a while, he regained his spirit!
"Pretty!!"
However, this beauty is not to describe Moretti's barb clearance, but to describe his barb clearance, and more importantly, the football he kicked smashed on the body of the Sporting Lisbon player in the orange jersey...
Canizares was stunned by Moretti's action, he never thought that Moretti would kick the clearance ball at this time, which is an extremely dangerous signal, and even worse is that Douala at the far end of the goal got the ball ten meters in front of the goal.
Navarro hurriedly dropped Nikulai, rushed to Douala who was unmarked at this time with red eyes, and regardless of whether the gap behind him would be taken advantage of, he fell to the ground and tackled when he was still three meters away from Douala.
Originally, Douala was just to increase the number of attackers in the penalty area, which is the so-called number of people, he didn't expect that he would get the football at the back point, after all, Nikulai's Ledson in the middle of the game was there, but... The game had an unforeseen situation, and Moretti, who cleared the ball at the back point, actually kicked the ball, and happiness came so suddenly, so that he was not prepared at all.
Fortunately, he was only on the field for a few minutes, and his physical condition was much better than that of the opposing defenders who had played for more than 80 minutes, and in the blink of an eye, he stopped the football that Moretti was kicking, adjusted his left foot slightly, and shot directly with his right foot!
The ball almost grazed Navarro's toes and flew into the top corner of the goal.
Canisares stood in place, without the slightest reaction, what happened between the lightning and the fire, he couldn't do anything, plus the shooting distance was too close, the requirements for judgment were even more demanding, he just subconsciously stretched out his right arm, and stared at the football flying towards the goal.
At this moment, countless Valencia fans have subconsciously closed their eyes, while Sporting Lisbon fans are ready to celebrate the goal.
But the next moment...
Bang -
The sound of hitting the post for the fourth time in the game.
Canizareston's rejoice! The football hit the crossbar and the junction of the post and bounced back into the penalty area, for such a must-score hit the post, Sporting Lisbon's attacking players were not prepared for anything, and the football bounced back into the penalty area and was kicked out of the bottom line by Marchena, who returned to the defense.
At the same time, it means that Sporting Lisbon has missed a great opportunity!
Douala, who missed the opportunity, covered his head in pain, obviously unable to believe that a football so close would be kicked by himself at the junction of the goalpost and the horizontal, this is the odds of winning the lottery!

"Hahaha... In a Chinese phrase, it is - the wind takes turns?? What an apt description! Do you remember the Portuguese? It was this goalpost in the first half that allowed our team to miss two great chances, and God is always the fairest! What you have gained will also mean what you will lose! β
Hyde was agitated and didn't know why, and then shouted: "Long live the goalpost at Alvalad Stadium!! β
"I have to say, after the game entered the last ten minutes of regular play, there was such a wonderful scene, remember the two great chances in Valencia in the first half? Vicente and Iroh are helpless in the face of this goalpost, now it's okay, hahaha - it's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, it's not that the time has not come, it seems that - the first Chinese player in the history of Chinese football to win the glory of the European championship is coming... Come on, Iro!! β
He Wei is a man of temperament, so the more he talks, the more excited he becomes.
The domestic fans who watched the game were also infected by his passionate roar, and the sales of beer reached a terrifying number.
