Chapter One Hundred and Three - Fierce Battle in the Snow!
CCTV-5 broadcast the game live. The time difference between Beijing and Moscow is five hours, and it is half past twelve in the evening Beijing time. Many fans in China waited for the game in front of their televisions, wearing thick down jackets and sitting on sofas, some with blankets on their legs.
In order to ward off the cold, some fans even keep a bottle of liquor by their side.
Huang Jianxiang's voice came out of the TV: "Audience friends, the life-and-death battle between CSKA Moscow and Saint-Germain is about to begin. The temperature in Moscow is -13 degrees Celsius, and playing in such weather is a severe test for both players.
CSKA Platoon 361 formation, goalkeeper No. 1 Achinfev; three defenders: No. 2 Ignasievic, No. 5 Senbras, No. 4 Berezots; six midfielders, No. 15 Semark; No. 7 Guseff, No. 23 Krasic, No. 8 Yalosek, No. 16 Zirkov, No. 11 Rasimich; Forward No. 9 Wagler.
Their intention was clear, to control the midfield in the snow and attack from both flanks. Serbian Rasimic is a very fast winger. He will be the initiator of CSKA's flank offensive.
Saint-Germain lined up in a 442 formation, with goalkeeper No. 1 Letici and four defenders: left-back No. 5 Mendy, right-back No. 2 Pisaut, central defender No. 33 Sack, and No. 20 Eder.
The four midfielders are: No. 7 Deu and No. 19 Kanna, the other two are No. 21 Tisichera and No. 10 Boskovic.
The two forwards are: No. 29 Tang Jue and No. 8 Reinaldo.
Tang Jue beat Pauletta in this game and continued to start. He formed a forward line with Reinaldo and was responsible for attacking the city. In the previous two Ligue 1 games, Tang Jue scored a total of seven goals and was in surprisingly good form. We expect him to continue his good form tonight and put in a good performance to help Saint-Germain reach the knockout stages of the Champions League......"
At this time, the TV screen shows the players of both teams wearing long-sleeved jerseys and gloves, standing on the court, waiting for the game to start. The course had been cleaned at 6 p.m., however, it was still white, and the snow had completely covered the turf. The heavy snow continues, and it's going to be a snow war!
Wayd Alilozik sat in the bench chair with a furrowed brow. When he first saw the snow on the ground, he frowned. CSKA is more accustomed to snow battles than Saint-Germain, and in the winter game, teams in the Russian Premier League often play in the snow.
Saint-Germain rarely play in the snow and, like his teammates, lack experience in this area. Wayd Alilozik could only shake his head and sigh in his heart.
"Tick! ......" The referee blew a long whistle, and the match between Saint-Germain and CSKA officially began!
Serbian winger Rasimic kicked the orange football into the backfield, Tang Jue and Reinaldo pounced on half the pitch, and countless snow flew from the soles of their shoes!
The soccer ball rolls differently in the snow than on turf, it rolls more slowly, and some balls come to an abrupt stop halfway through. This has led to a noticeable increase in mistakes on both sides. Compared to Saint-Germain, CSKA made far fewer mistakes. Six midfielders, two more than Saint-Germain in terms of numbers, and soon, CSKA took control of the midfield.
CSKA attacks mainly from their left flank, with Rasimic being their fast horse on the wing. The sound of horses' hooves, Rasimic on the right side of Saint-Germain, stirred up snowflakes in the sky. The ball flew from his feet towards the Saint-Germain penalty area.
Kanna had to return to the box and assist the two centre-backs in a header duel with the tall opposition striker. For a time, the penalty area of Saint-Germain was overcrowded, and from time to time there was a dull sound of physical contact. Letici picks up high and low, dismantling the opponent's shot again and again.
Saint-Germain's goal is in jeopardy!
In the stands, more than 80,000 CSKA fans waved their scarves and let out earth-shattering shouts, which caused the snowflakes in front of them to rise sharply and scatter in all directions in terror.
Like the beating of war drums, the CSKA players have a stronger fighting spirit in their eyes, this is their home stadium, and defeating their opponents and reaching the knockout stage of the Champions League is their only goal in this game.
Saint-Germain fans from afar. Their faces were pale, and they didn't know if it was caused by the low temperature, or the shouts of the CSKA fans were too shocking, which made them feel cold.
Wayd Alilozik's frowning brow became a "one". His heart was very solemn, and he didn't know how long his players could resist.
Tang Jue returned to the vicinity of the middle circle, like a Siberian tiger, sensitively sniffing the smell in the air, and launching a thunderous strike at any time. In the twelfth minute of the first half, Tang Jue relied on his keen sense of smell to break the ball in the midfield!
Like a tiger, Tang Jue snatched the football to his feet, took two steps forward, and passed the ball directly to Reinaldo, who was standing five meters in front of the penalty area. It's not that he doesn't want to dribble, it's because he's too slow to dribble in the snow. He didn't want to waste that rare opportunity to counter-attack quickly.
Reinaldo leaned tightly against Sembles and kept the ball at his feet. The bodies of the two sides were tightly entangled, and Sembras didn't let Reinaldo turn around at all. Reinaldo had no choice but to dribble horizontally and wait for Tang Jue to come and respond.
The cooperation of many games made Reinal know that Tang Jue would definitely come forward to answer after passing. I saw a blue lightning flash on the white snow, and countless pieces of snow flew up from the white snow, like a war horse running by, and behind the horse was a piece of flying dust.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Jue threw off the two CSKA defenders beside him, and advanced ten meters outside the penalty area near the middle circle.
Huang Jianxiang said in surprise: "It's really unimaginable, Tang Jue is walking flat on the snow, and in a blink of an eye, he threw off the two backs beside him." Reinaldo can pass the ball! ”
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Reinaldo passed the football to Tang Jue, and after passing the ball, he turned around and ran towards the CSKA penalty area!
Knock back and turn around two over one!
Reinaldo's running position clearly provided Tang Jue with a message, and they could cooperate with each other in two ways!
The most taboo thing on the court is hesitation, Tang never hesitated, adjusted slightly, made a direct pass, and the football began to move rapidly on the snow. In an instant, the ball crossed between CSKA left-back and centre-back and rolled into the box!
Huang Jianxiang said quickly: "Tang Jue has passed!" The soccer ball crosses between the two CSKA defenders, and Reinaldo is running towards it. Saint-Germain's chance has come! ”
Excitement flashed in the eyes of the Saint-Germain fans on the west side of the stadium. Since the opening, CSKA has almost always pressed Saint-Germain, and a period of wild bombardment has kept them in tension. There was a glimmer of hope on their pale faces.
The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and CSKA head coach Gazaev has a calm face, as if he knows what will happen next. Wayd Alilozik shook his head, he also expected the result in a few seconds.
Reinaldo's inner howl is loud!
In an lunge he crossed out of CSKA centre-back Sembles, and he sped towards the route the ball had taken in the next second.
However, the shock suddenly appeared, and the football suddenly slowed down!
At this point, he was in front of the left side of the soccer ball, and Reinaldo turned his head to look at the slowed down soccer ball, and sighed in his heart. How he wished the football could roll faster.
Tang Jue patted his head and shouted in his heart: "Damn, I forgot that there was snow!" ”
Huang Jianxiang sighed: "It's a pity, if it weren't for the snow reducing the rolling speed of the football, this would definitely be a very beautiful two-over-one match." ”
Senbras, who was almost desperate, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he watched the slow rolling of the football three meters in front of him. As if escaping death, Sembras took two quick steps forward and controlled the ball at his feet.
Fighting in the snow, a long-distance direct pass is a mistake in itself. The coefficient of friction in snow is much greater than that of turf.
Xiao Feifei couldn't help but say, "Master, you still let me say it!" ”
Before the game, Tang Jue specifically told Xiao Feifei not to let him speak in the game. He is as proud as he is, and wants to defeat his opponent through his own ability. Tang Jue has always believed that borrowing Xiao Feifei's ability will make the game lose a lot of fun. The computing power of the supercomputer is outstanding, and with the ability of Xiao Feifei, the game will become easier. But he was reluctant to do so.
Tang Jue said in his heart: "Shut up! I'm annoyed! ”
didn't take into account the environment of the snow, Tang Jue was on fire in his heart. He was thinking that if he passed a ball in the air, Reinaldo could get the ball.
Reinaldo raised his hands, applauded Tang Jue, and said loudly: "Good ball!" ”
escaped a catastrophe, the back of the Central Army was vigilant, and stared at Tang Jue even closer. They were amazed at the lightning speed of the Chinese striker, who was actually walking on the snow as if he were walking on the ground.
With midfield in check, CSKA has more attacking opportunities. Fighting in the snow, they are very experienced, unless it is a close-range pass, they are all passing the ball in the air. The tall Russians, taking advantage of it!
There was time, and they even made header passes in a row!
Twenty-five minutes into the game, CSKA Moscow made three consecutive header passes in front of the Saint-Germain penalty area, and the football flew into the Saint-Germain penalty area!
In the heavy snow, a fiery red figure descended from the sky like a divine soldier!
I saw him jump high behind the right side of the football!
Sack stepped forward with an arrow, kicked his ankle hard, and flew up from the snow, he wanted to fight for the top!
"Bang!" The two bodies slammed into each other in the air!
However, by the time Sack jumped, the red figure was already flying in the air. Sark's head didn't reach the orange football, and the red figure's forehead slammed into it.
"Pong!" Letizzi heard a crisp sound and the ball flew towards the top left corner of the goal!
Letici quickly takes a step to the left and kicks the ground!
The orange soccer ball flew like a cannonball towards the top left corner of the goal. The snowflakes around it suddenly scattered in a fidgety way, as if they had seen something that frightened them!
CSKA fans awaited the countless long guns and short cannons on the sidelines, like stars in the night sky.
The temperature on the Saint-Germain fans began to drop, and the tiny Xiaoice on their eyelashes began to tremble slightly!
