Chapter 546: The Battle for Morale

Doesn't it hurt? Forget it, under the tactical arrangement, don't talk about it.

However, imperceptibly, nothing was noticed, and as time went by, Crystal Palace, which was almost suffocating internal injuries, was playing more and more unnaturally on the pitch.

On the other hand, on the side of Sporting Lisbon, Friedman dared to train in such a major competition by deliberately releasing water, and it was naturally impossible for Sporting Lisbon to know these things.

Then, it was precisely because they didn't know that all their players recognized the initiative they had taken on the court as a symbol of their strength.

Playing away, facing the Premier League champions, although the first few minutes of the opening game were very passive, they could equalize less than 1 minute after the opponent scored, and the home team was almost out of breath at this time, and the morale of Crystal Palace was just the opposite, as time went on, the morale of the Lisbon economy was getting higher and higher.

When the game reached about 30 minutes, it was a bit of a surprise to find that the Crystal Palace players who wanted to abandon Friedman's tactics and re-press out.

In this game, the people, or those people, but unlike at the beginning, now, they don't seem to be able to play Sporting Lisbon?

"Bump!" Witnessing Barzaretti like a nerd, watching the opposing striker shoot from the edge of the penalty area without making any effective interference, causing the gate behind him to almost lose again, Diego López, as the backbone of the Crystal Palace defense, had the need and responsibility to stand up at this time.

Not in a hurry to check the ball that had been thrown into the field by the caddy, after slapping his hands heavily and focusing the attention of his backcourt players on himself, Diego López roared to wake up his sleeping teammates.

It's a pity that Diego López, while roaring, seems to be ignoring a problem.

Well, it is true that Diego López is also a veteran of Crystal Palace, and he usually has a certain amount of authority in the team, especially when he is facing you in the backfield of Crystal Palace.

After all, there are times when he needs to be set up at the back, and it's understandable.

Today, however, at least this time, Diego López has chosen a somewhat biased approach.

The usual López, there is no flaw in himself, he roars, he roars, that's what he should, even if the other players have fire in their hearts, they can't send it out, because they really don't do it well enough.

But what about today? Did the Crystal Palace defenders make a mistake today, let's put it aside, just talk about Diego López, why was the team's score equalised? Isn't it because of Diego López's low-level attack error?

In this case, under such a premise, Diego López roars at them, what kind of mentality will they have?

"Grass mud horse, why are you making mistakes yourself, and you are embarrassed to discipline us? Isn't this an obvious fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter? ”

Therefore, it is precisely with Diego López's roar this time that the foreshadowing for what will happen in the Crystal Palace next -

Unconsciously, the game came to the 40th minute of the first half, and seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, Sporting Lisbon, which had established enough advantages on the field, gradually accelerated its offensive rhythm.

Needless to say, they did this for one and only one purpose, and that was to try to score another goal before the end of the first half to completely kill Crystal Palace.

"Bump, bump, bump!" Almost identical to the previous goal, Sporting Lisbon first played a series of short passes in the middle, and then No. 8 Martins distributed the ball to the wing, and No. 20 Enjuco, who made the first contribution to the team, was at the feet of No. 20 Enjuco.

After winning the ball, Enhuke seemed to really want to give his previous goal a perfect reinterpretation.

Not much nonsense, with the ball, slowly, came to Zabaleta again, who had made a small mistake in defending him before.

After his body tensed and he was ready to change direction and accelerate at any time, Enhuke first glanced at the positions of the players on both sides in the penalty area, and then, with the ball on the outside instep, it seemed so casual, leaning towards Sabalek.

Seeing that the opposing striker actually ignored his existence so much, he didn't even understand the reason that he couldn't do it anymore, and wanted to humiliate himself again with the same action before, Zabaleta didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, his eyes stared at the ball controlled by Enhuke at his feet, and his body was natural, and he took a small step forward.

Seeing Zabaleta step into the range of the ball that can rob him, it would be a lie to say that Nhuko was not nervous at all.

However, while being nervous, this game has completely played a confident Enhuko, and more, it is excited,

Just kidding, who is standing in front of him now? Although he is not the best first team in Europe's top five leagues last season and is known as the world's best left-back, Bale, but he is also the absolute main defender of the Premier League champion Crystal Palace, Zabaleta!

Now, the other party is about to face him one-on-one again, how can Enhuke not be excited?

If, Njuko, knows very well, if he can win the one-on-one battle again, he can't say, tomorrow, no, not tomorrow, after today's game, he can become a hot winger in Europe's top five leagues.

When the time comes, money, honor, and beautiful women will all be at your fingertips.

And it is precisely because of this clear knowledge that Enhuko, who carries the ball, once again improves his whole concentration.

I saw that on the field, between Enhu, who was slowly approaching, and Zabaleta, unconsciously, there was only a distance of less than 1 meter left. At this time, the two people who had not taken any action acted as if they had discussed, and they had a very tacit understanding, and they acted at the same time.

The right foot gently pulled the ball towards the left side of his body, as if to do it back, but in fact, Enhuke had already made up his mind, and when Zabaleta started to start, the outside of his right foot was very dexterous and knocked on the ball again, and a passing action that was almost exactly the same as before getting rid of Zabaleta came out at Nhuko's feet.

But how to say that? Zabaleta, who was close to the former before, had actually reminded the other party a long time ago that on the football field, this kind of similar passing action is something that can be done but cannot be repeated, what does Enhuko's head have to be like a pig to be so stupid to use it in front of him twice in a row?

The corners of his mouth pulled out a disdainful smile, and while Enhuke pulled the ball sideways, he felt that he was insulted by the other party, and Zabaleta, who was determined to teach the other party a small lesson, also completed his own kicking action!

The body rushed forward like a cheetah, and the opponent pulled the ball at the same time to complete the tackle, and then, Enhuke automatically and consciously kicked the ball to the feet of Zabaleta.

However, this is clearly the end of the story!

As mentioned above, Zabaleta is determined to teach the other party a lesson, so how can things be so simple?

In other words, Zabaleta has a hundred ways to break this kind of ball, and in these hundred ways, losing his whole center of gravity and choosing to put a shovel is obviously the ultimate choice!

But under such a premise, Zabaleta still chose to tackle this time, which can only show that Zabaleta has other plans!

Sure enough, I saw Zabaleta on the field, after perfectly shoveling the ball out of the sideline, did not stop talking about it as usual when defending, but was like a car that couldn't be stopped, and he was re-elected with the ball to Enhuke and shoveled out the sideline!

Seeing the other party constantly rolling on the ground and pretending to be dead after eating a black foot of his own, Zabaleta felt that the evil anger in his heart finally got some catharsis.
