Chapter 103: Oolong?
******
"Ferrer's long legs didn't touch the football! The soccer ball leaked through his toes! Is there anyone at the back point? Well??? oh-my-god!! What do I see?? ——”
Iroh swooped down in the air and slammed into the flying soccer ball with a strong forehead!
wwoooooooooooo——
The fans in the stands burst into amazing energy, and the cheers reached the sky!
Boom!!
The football immediately took on a disguise, like a cannonball flying towards the goal of Zaragoza!
"—Leap to the top! The ball is in! The ball went in!! ”
Hyde, the commentator of Valencia Sport, roared hoarsely.
Rumble! ——
oooooooooo
When the ball hit the net, the Mestalla Stadium became a sea of orange and yellow, and the cheers in the stands added another point to the horror!
******
Shhh
Just as Iroh was about to get up to celebrate, he heard a shrill boo.
What's wrong? Didn't the fans love me before? Why are you booing me now? It's not scientific!
Uh-no!
He jerked his head back at the assistant referee, the side flag held high over his shoulder.
Far end offside??
"Offside?? How is this possible?? ”
Hyde's eyes were fixed on the big screen, just in time to see the referee signal to the visiting team Zaragoza to take an indirect free kick from the back.
At this moment, Zaragoza's goalkeeper Garcia, who was the most wooden before, turned out to be the one who reacted the fastest!
He quickly fished the ball out of the goal, put it on the line of the small penalty area, and kicked the ball out before the home team could react.
Cuatro, who was standing on the line of the penalty area, received the ball and turned his body in the direction of the Valencia goal, while at the same time the whole team of Zaragoza pressed forward.
Villa, Savio and Galetti in the front field went straight into the heart of Valencia.
Cuatro knew he wasn't a playmaker and quickly kicked the ball out, and central midfielder Oscar Gonzalez received the ball from him.
Just as Oscar Gonzalez was about to make an escape move, Baraja kicked him to the canvas.
Honk!
"What the hell just happened? Why did the referee invalidate Ai's goal? ”
It wasn't until Baraja's foul stopped Zaragoza's quick counter-attack that Hyde was reflecting on what had just happened.
The running referee hurriedly took out the yellow card from his pocket and showed it to the fouling Balaha!
Unexpectedly, Baraha didn't theorize about this foul at all, he ran to the referee, raised his arms, and shouted loudly, "Such a beautiful goal, how can it be offside?" ”
At this time, the big screen above Mestalla took advantage of the dead ball to replay the slow motion just now.
******
In slow motion, Aimar got past Cuatero to get on the robe for Ferrer's header and delivered a quality cross as Zaragoza centre-back Milito stepped up.
The director of the scene immediately pressed a pause, and at the moment of Aimar's cross, a straight line parallel to the bottom line appeared where Ponzio, the last defender of Zaragoza's backline, was standing, and at the far end of this straight line you could just see that Ailo was a full half away from Ponzio!
Then, it was the Eloh fish that jumped to the top.
The assistant referee held the flag high and signaled offside.
This is a miscalculation!!
The fans in the stands immediately stopped doing it and let out a tsunami-like boo.
The director of the Mestalla Stadium seemed to want everyone to see what had just happened, repeating the slow motion three or four times in succession.
Then he turned the camera on the assistant referee who had just raised the flag.
At this moment, the assistant referee can be said to be embarrassed, and he coughed awkwardly to relieve his pressure.
secretly scolded Ello: Why are you running so fast? I made a mistake!
******
“oh-my-god!! This ball is actually offside? Incredible! It's incredible!! I really don't know what this assistant referee eats big! A beautiful goal was actually seen as offside by him!! I'm willing to bet this assistant referee must be—"
"Ahem, no matter which slow-motion replay you take, this goal is impeccable, and if I have to find fault with this perfect goal, then all I can say is, Ai - next time you don't run so fast, okay?"
As soon as Barry heard that Hyde was about to say something about the assistant referee, he immediately coughed, blocking his words and explaining why the assistant referee had misjudged.
"Hey! Jianhong - What do you think about the goal being ruled offside by the assistant referee? ”
After watching the slow-motion replay, He Wei turned his head and asked today's commentator Liu Jianhong.
"Uh--my only opinion on the linesman's misjudgment is that my country's player Iroh is too explosive and accelerates too fast, because we can clearly see the moment of Aimar's cross in slow motion, and Iroh is a full half a body away from the last defender, Ponzio-"
At this moment, the domestic chat room is about to burst out!
"me, this assistant referee didn't take a nap, did he?? It's all offside??? ”
"Damn! Such a wonderful goal was ruthlessly scrapped by the assistant referee, and here I call on everyone to curse him for having a son without a fart!! ”
"So ruthless? Good! I'm sticking with you!! Draw a circle and curse the assistant referee for giving birth to a son who has no ass-eye! ”
"Ditto!"
"Ditto +1!"
……
******
After watching the slow-motion replay, Iroh reacted.
I'll go! Is it also a sin to run too fast?
"Shit! Shit !! ”
Ranieri, the head coach standing on the sidelines, immediately kicked out a water bottle in front of him, splashing it on the trousers of Zaragoza head coach Fei P, who was also standing on the sideline.
Away coach Fape was not angry at Ranieri's reaction.
Instead, the very gentleman smiled at Ranieri and did not blame.
Ranieri's words immediately caught the attention of the fourth assistant referee, who ran over and said, "Sir, please pay attention to your words, otherwise I will report to the referee on duty what happened on the sidelines." ”
"You-"
Ranieri, who was angry in his heart, was about to say something, but was pulled aside by assistant referee Benetti, "Claudio - calm down!" Calm down!! It's not like we don't have a chance! The game isn't over yet! ”
yes, the game isn't over yet!
Ranieri turned his head to look at the time on the big screen in the North Stand
76 minutes and 18 seconds
Fifteen minutes to go.
Hurriedly shouted to a figure who was still warming up in the warm-up area, "David-come here!" ”
David doing stretching exercises. Silva immediately stopped his movements and ran in front of manager Claudio Ranieri.
"David, you come on in for Aimar later, go play right winger, let David, uh - another David, go back to the central midfield he knows best - come on and you run like this - and, again-"
Ranieri kept drawing with the tactical board and kept talking.
David Silva, who was beside him, kept nodding as if he didn't understand.
******
In the 79th minute, David Silva replaced Aimar, who was about to be overdrawn.
Albelda has returned to his familiar position and has been more comfortable organising the attack, but he will take on more of a thread once Aimar is off.
The premise of the position also allowed him to find more opportunities to shoot from a distance.
In the 80th minute of the game, David Silva broke through Toledo on the side and crossed directly! Milito was clearly better at selecting positions than centre-forward Ferrer, who scrambled the ball out before Ferrer.
The ball flew to the left side of the Zaragoza penalty area, and Airo got stuck in front of Ponzio, squeezing his opponent behind him, while passing the ball to Albelda, who was running.
Albelda, who was running, picked up his stout right leg.
Zaragoza defender Cuatro hurriedly fell to the ground to make defensive moves to expand the defensive area.
Albelda's shot was a deliberate kick of the middle and lower part of the ball in order to avoid Cuatro's downfall.
The football obediently flew up.
It's a bit of a shame though, the shot went over the crossbar.
Albelda's long-range shot went over the crossbar before visiting Zaragoza manager Fape stood on the touchline and blew his whistle.
"Step up the goal! Don't keep shrinking back!! ”
Anyway, there is no hope of relegation this season, and it is far away to participate in European competitions, so it is better to attack and play, maybe this will receive unexpected results.
As Zaragoza's number of attacking players increased, so did the pressure on Aillo.
The tempo of both sides suddenly accelerated, and so did the opportunities.
In the eighty-second minute, Aillo's long-range shot was easily caught by Garcia under the pressure of Milito.
Half a minute later, David Villa received a through ball from Savio, set up Navarro with his left hand and forced his foot near the penalty spot, and the ball was saved by Canizares.
In the 85th minute, David Silva received a long pass from Albelda, and without stopping the ball, he cushioned the ball directly to Ferrer, who also knocked the ball directly to David Silva without stopping.
David Silva crossed with his left foot on the right side of the penalty area, and Iro, who came in from behind, headed the ball over the crossbar under pressure from Milito.
……
The two sides come and go, and the fans on both sides in the stands are looking at it crookedly!
The opportunities are equal, but both sides just don't take advantage of the opportunities they deserve.
Seeing that the clock was about to reach 90 minutes of regular time, the fourth assistant referee also raised the electronic card for three minutes of stoppage time at the signal of the head coach.
The sudden acceleration of the attacking tempo at the end of the game also made the physical fitness of the players on both sides a little unbearable, but it was not a problem at all for Iello and David Silva, who were replaced in the second half.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Canizares caught David Villa's oncoming ball and threw the ball to Albelda at the edge of the penalty area as soon as he landed, who received the ball and turned, took a big step forward with his left foot, and at the same time sent his body over, blocking Movila, who wanted to break the ball, and then pushed the ball to Baraja next to him with the arch of his foot.
Meanwhile, the trio of Elo, Ferrer and David Silva ran at high speed towards Zaragoza's half.
After receiving the football, Baraja saw that Albelda was being targeted, so he did not pass the ball back to Albelda, but adjusted the ball and prepared to launch a long counterattack.
"Huh! Ruben – this way!! ”
Ferrer's forward body suddenly ran back and shouted at Baraja.
Baraha's reaction was also quick enough, and he quickly put down his right foot, and while adjusting his body, he immediately passed the football to Ferrer, who retreated.
Alvaro, who was next to Ferrer, did not expect that the opponent would suddenly retreat to respond when counterattacking, and his reaction was half a beat slower, but his second reaction was very fast, and the left hand that crossed his body was on Ferrer's shoulder, hoping to use this foul to stop Valencia's quick counterattack here.
Apparently he underestimated Ferrer, he had no intention of receiving the ball, and the outside of his right foot flicked hard towards the rolling ball, which rolled into the path of Iello who was inserted at high speed on the left.
Ponzio, who was defending Elloh, was overjoyed when he saw the ball rolling over! Stretch your legs and get ready to drive the ball off the sideline.
Just as his right foot was about to touch the ball, a long leg stabbed it out before he could.
Ai poked the ball out before Ponzio did! He's going to speed up!! ”
aiaiaiaiaiaiaiiiiiiiii——
At the same time, the home fans in the stands also stood up, and the 'Batguards' fan group, led by Joe Vigney, let out a deafening cheer that spread from the East Stand to the entire Mestalla Stadium.
If someone asks them at this point, what would they like to see more than seeing the team win? Then they will definitely answer unanimously: see the wonder boy dribbling the ball at high speed!
When the football was stabbed out by Iro, Ponzio's first instinct was to pull him to the ground with his hands, but he seemed to have forgotten something.
Arlo only came on in the second half, and he played 90 minutes.
The physical reserves of the two are not of the same level, and Iroh's explosiveness and speed are not something that a fullback of his level can catch up!
Ponzio's left hand didn't touch Ello's shoulder, he grabbed a cloud of air!
Unmarked, Iroh 'received' the soccer ball he had stabbed out earlier, and went forward again.
Ferrer and David Silva gritted their teeth at the same time.
By the time Iello touched the ball again, it was already in the box on the left side of the box against Zaragoza, and Ferrer and David Silva stepped forward to prevent Garcia from attacking.
As soon as he stepped into the box, he also turned his head to look at Ferrer and David Silva, who were gritting their teeth and accelerating.
Ferrer is still more than three metres away from the penalty area, and his good friend David Silva has already entered the box like himself!
Opportunity!
"Ai - into the restricted area! What would he do??? ”
The next moment, he picked up his left foot and swept the ball hard towards the back of the small penalty area!
"Shot ——??"
Milito, who was closely behind David Silva, saw the menacing boccia ball and didn't have time to think about it, so he fell to the ground before David Silva! I hope to clear the ball before the opponent!
Milito's long right leg stretched out, and suddenly the calf muscles tightened and cramped!
At that moment, the ball quickly crossed the penalty spot and rolled just behind the left side of Milito, who had fallen to the ground.
Cramps appeared at this time, it was simply his Mr. Death!!
The high-speed ball slammed into Milito's feet and rolled towards the goal guarded by Garcia.
