Chapter 57 Made in China

The rain began to fall and soon drenched the players.

It seems that God is grieving for the plight of Antwerp.

Yu Liang, who was standing at the front of the penalty area, looked at the Bill Shot players who were arrogantly celebrating on the sidelines, and once again strengthened his belief.

Be a joke! No, it must not be a joke.

"Ivan, ball!"

Yu Liang's shout sounded in the ears of the Antwerp players like a thunderbolt.

"We can't be a joke, we can't be trampled under their feet, only we can represent the city! We're going to win, we're going to qualify, we've got time to ......"

Every word of Yu Liang was like a hammer hitting the hearts of the players.

"Yes, we still have time!"

After Willockx threw the ball in the goal to Yu Liang, he immediately clapped his hands in the penalty area and shouted: "Guys, cheer up, we still have time!" Advance, Advance! ”

"Come on, don't forget our goal!"

"Man, advance! It's only been less than five minutes! ”

Yu Liang, who ran towards the center circle with a football in his arms, patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him every time he passed by his teammates.

"The attack is up to you! Defend with us! ”

Placing the football in the center circle, Yu Liang looked at Di Gregorio and King Dong and patted them on the shoulder.

After Yu Liang's encouragement and Willocks' shouts at the back, the Antwerp players once again ignited their fighting spirit.

Yes, they still have time.

The change in the mentality of the Antwerp players is so evident that anyone can see it.

There were less than 400 Antwerp fans in the stands, and the moment they lost the goal, they were also devastated at the moment they conceded. The bitterness in my heart cannot be expressed in words, and some fans have even shed tears of sadness.

Even though they were in the stands, they could still feel the change in the hearts of the players.

The players who have rekindled their fighting spirit have affected them.

Reinvigorated, they shouted again from the stands, and with their own shouts, they cheered for Antwerp there.

The shouts of more than 300 people were not very loud and soon drowned out in the boos of the Bill Shot fans, but it really encouraged the Antwerp players.

Yes, there are indeed only these 300 fans in the stadium, but outside the stadium, there are tens of thousands of fans supporting them. They can't lose, they can't be a joke.

At the referee's urging, Bill Shot's players ended the two-minute celebration.

A whistle blows, and the game continues.

As soon as kick-off, Di Gregorio and King Dong and Campbell immediately stepped forward to the edge of the Bill Shot penalty area.

At the same time, Antwerp's entire formation immediately pressed forward.

This kind of high-pressing style of play, although it can bring a lot of pressure to the opponent's defense, at the same time, its own defense also bears a lot of risk.

If you are accidentally tackled by the opponent in the front court, it is very likely that they will break through the defense line and form a counterattack.

After continuous passing, the ball came to Yu Liang's feet.

At this time, Yu Liang, who was near the center line, could clearly see the entire situation in the court.

Bill Shot's defense is very deep, so there is basically no room for long balls to hit behind him. Since he can't directly hit the back, he can only tear through Bill Shot's defense through ground cooperation.

After getting rid of the pressing of the Bill Shot striker, Yu Liang directly dribbled forward.

Yu Liang's forward insertion did not disturb Billshot's defensive formation, and the two dense defensive lines were still in front of the goal.

Tearing through their defensive line through a cross-cutting combination is unlikely.

Yu Liang, who observed with the ball, had two options, one was to split the side, and then cross to threaten the opponent's goal. Because of the focus on set-pieces and corners before the game, they have a wealth of crosses at the moment. However, there is only one high point in the penalty area, and it is difficult to pose a threat to their goal.

The second is a direct long-range shot.

Yu Liang, who was inserted into the 35-meter area before dribbling the ball, has not encountered decent pressing and defense so far. It's clear that Bill Shot is focusing on defending their crosses and ground penetrations.

In the rain, the ball will become slippery, and long-range shots will make it more difficult for the goalkeeper to save.

After Yu Liang observed the goalkeeper, he knocked the ball with his right foot, then adjusted it and picked up his thigh directly.

In order to increase the difficulty of the goalkeeper's save, Yu Liang deliberately increased his strength.

When shooting, Yu Liang's supporting foot slipped, and the shot directly hit the anti-aircraft gun, and at the same time he fell to the ground.

Rumble!

The Bill Shot fans burst into laughter.

"Dry ......"

Watching the football fly high into the stands, Yu Liang slapped the turf unwillingly, and then quickly got up and retreated to participate in the defense.

Because of Bill Shot's attack, he didn't have time to delay at all.

After the goalkeeper kicked off, the ball passed two feet in the backfield and then went directly to the wing, from which the attack was launched.

While the Antwerp back line retreated, Billshot's attack came in pursuit.

Hendricks used his strong body to carry the pressing Bigga, knocked his heel, and handed the ball to Van Der Whyden, who had come up with an assist. The Dutch veteran in his thirties is not particularly fast, but he has excellent skills and experience at his feet.

After the inside cut attracts the defense, it goes straight to the side.

Hendricks, who had already gotten rid of Biga, did not adjust and met the football with a cross.

The ball was fast, the flight path was straight, and more importantly it was a half-high cross, which added to the difficulty of defending for Cristo and Lawan.

Tosin, who was at the front point, at the moment of Hendricks' pass, shook off Lavan next to him with an arrow step, and rushed to the top of the ball with a fish.

The ball was rubbed by Tosin and immediately flew towards the far end of the goal, which made Willocks, who had just blocked the near corner, a little too much to whip. However, he still reflexively pounced on the side at the first time and tried his best to stretch his body in hopes of blocking the football.

Even so, Willocks couldn't stop football. Seeing that his hand was still a long way from the football, Willockx felt himself gradually be enveloped in despair.

At this moment, everyone in the stadium held their breath, their eyes fixed on the football that was still flying.

If Tosin's header is scored, then the Bilshots could have been declared straight into the semi-finals.

Even if that goal doesn't go in, they'll think they've advanced to the last four.

The fans of Antwerp in the stands couldn't help but close their eyes and start praying there.

At a time when everyone was concerned about whether the goal would go in, one person didn't give up - Christopher.

"You only have one task in this game, and that is to put the damn ball in the opponent's goal!"

Van Ake had this to say about Christopher before the game.

In this game, Christopher did bear the burden of scoring the goal. But first and foremost he's a centre-back, and as a centre-back, his priority is to defend.

As Tosin got rid of Lavan and leaped to the top, Christopher dropped Cavins and turned back.

Seeing that Willockx was unable to block the football, Christopher, who retreated into place, directly cleared the ball from the goal line with a barb.

"Beautiful, Christopher, Christopher cleared the ball and cleared Tosin's header. In this way, Antwerp, which is three goals behind on aggregate, still maintains the possibility of advancing in theory. ”

Hush!

When Christopher cleared the ball, Bill Shot's fans immediately burst into boos.

Although the ball was cleared from the goal line, the inverted hook went straight up and down, and the ball did not fly very far, and the Antwerp goal was still dangerous.

Christopher, who got up, once again took advantage of his height, and after grabbing the point, he pushed the ball directly out of the penalty area.

But the ball that cleared out flew straight towards Biershot's Césaire. This made the Antwerp fans, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, nervous again.

Césaire flicked his forehead against the incoming football. As soon as the ball is unloaded, he observes the situation in the box and prepares to pass the ball.

"Be careful!"

Adjusting his pace and preparing to pass the ball, Césaire heard a reminder from his teammate.

Before he could understand what was going on, a force came from the side, directly separating him from football.

"Beautiful, Yu Liang breaks the ball from the feet of Césaire, Antwerp's counterattack!"

After breaking the ball, Yu Liang and his teammates made a two-on-one cooperation, and after shaking off Cezaire, he strode forward directly with the ball.

At the same time, the three of King Dong, Campbell and Di Gregorio in the front court immediately stepped forward quickly.

Yu Liang passed the ball directly to Digregorio on the left when he encountered interference from Zimbabwe international Sifas.

Yu Liang, who was without the ball, continued to move forward quickly.

Because Bill Shot's attacking style is fast-paced, their centre-backs are dragging their feet deeper. Coupled with the large range of assists from the full-backs, there is a big gap between the centre-backs and the full-backs.

After receiving Yu Liang's pass, Di Gregorio took the ball directly into the space behind their right wing-back. On the other side, Campbell cut into the gap behind their left wing-back, and King Dong pulled the opposing centre-back in the middle.

In the face of Antwerp's counter-attack, Billshot's players calmly adjusted their defense.

De Rek immediately rushed towards Di Gregorio, and Cephas went back to make up for the gap left by De Reek. The other central defender stared at King Dong deadly.

As for Yu Liang and Campbell, who are running without the ball, there are no players to mark at present.

Four-on-three, Antwerp dominated.

After Di Gregorio managed to attract Delek's defense, he immediately handed the ball to Yu Liang in the flank. At this time, when Cephas, who had returned to the defense in place, was just about to save, Yu Liang made a gesture to pass the ball, looking at Di Gregorio, who had been interspersed in place, Cephas directly gave up the grab.

At the moment of Di Gregorio's pass, King Dong and Campbell immediately moved. King Dong, who had been involved in another central defender, immediately moved to the right, while the unguarded Campbell recycled the middle. When the two met, Yu Liang kicked straight and passed directly to the right side of the penalty area.

King Dong, who was moving to the right, immediately stepped forward at the moment of Yu Liang's pass.

Tsvetanovic, who had been following Yu Liang's side, just reacted and wanted to catch up, but was blocked by the recovered Campbell.

King Dong, who caught up with the football, pushed directly into the near corner.

King Dong's push was very strong, and the football flew into the goal from the armpit of goalkeeper Luciano, 1-1!
