Chapter Eighty-Eight: Three Consecutive Guests (3)

In today's match, Leiria played very experienced and kept running with the players from the University of Coimbra. In the 30th minute of the first half, Lao Lei found a gap in the defense of the University of Coimbra. This time, Lao Lei boldly gave a long-distance 30-meter straight plug. This pass was learned from the pass of Rui Costa, who was possessed by the "pseudo-long pass master", and after that game, Lao Lei has been thinking about the two passes he passed at that time and wants to learn.

It's a pity that although Lao Lei has been working hard in terms of long passing, the results are very slow, which makes Lao Lei sigh that these long pass masters are really awesome. Now Lao Lei's pass is sure of about 20 to 25 meters, but if it is extended, it will be out of Lao Lei's controllable range. Such a long-distance pass can often only depend on Lao Lei's luck, and there are occasionally several successful cases.

This time, Lao Lei was lucky, and the sudden direct plug to the ground was somewhat unexpected by the defenders of the University of Coimbra, and there were three defenders in the passing route who wanted to stretch out their feet to intercept. This time, however, they were slower to react, and Ray's pass was smooth enough to avoid the defenders.

The pass tore through the tight defence of the University of Coimbra at once, and McCarthy was clearly unprepared for the ball. However, his instinct as a shooter was to take the ball and then turn and cut forward. But after all, it was not ready, the tie was too big, and in the exclamation of the fans in the stands, the goalkeeper of the University of Coimbra went straight to press the football under him. This time, the defense of the University of Coimbra was shocked into a cold sweat, and McCarthy also extended a thumbs up to Lao Lei apologetically, signaling a good ball.

At this moment, the head coach of the University of Coimbra couldn't sit still, and he decided that he couldn't let Lao Lei handle the ball so easily in the midfield, otherwise the score would not be 1:0 at the end of the first half. He came to the sidelines, called Keelho to his side, and signaled to step forward for the rest of the first half to defend Lao Lei, and leave the counterattack to the second half.

This just happened to be in line with Keelho's wishes, he had already had this idea, but he couldn't come forward because of the manager's arrangement. After getting the permission of the head coach, Keelho was like a hungry dog seeing a steak, sticking to Lao Lei and not leaving. I have to say that Keehl's defensive skills and physical fitness are really good, Lao Lei is under the interference of Keelho, it is very difficult to play the ball and handle the ball, and Leiria can only choose to fall in his own half most of the time, and it is difficult to pass the midfield.

After Lao Lei and Keelho became entangled, there were many small movements between each other. By the end of the first half, both men had bruises on their hands and waists. The two of them also competed with each other, neither of them showed a painful look on their faces, and they held on to their breath.

It was time for the half-time break, and the score remained unchanged, still 1:0. As soon as he returned to the locker room, Lao Lei couldn't help it, sucked up the cold, and found the team doctor to spray himself with painkillers. Mourinho saw it and hurriedly came over to inquire, and was relieved when he knew that there was no problem, but only some pain. Now no one in Leiria is indispensable to Lao Lei.

After asking Lao Lei a few words with concern, he went to tell the players the tactical arrangements for the second half. For Mourinho, the effect he wanted in the first half was basically achieved. The lead in the scoreline and the great drain on the physical strength of the University of Coimbra left to play Leiria's most powerful counter-attack to finish off the opponent. Considering that Lao Lei was very entangled by Keelho, Mourinho instructed Andre to finish Lao Lei's baton in the second half at the right time. Let Lao Lei hold the defensive gate of the University of Coimbra Keelho, so that Andre can not only organize and take the opportunity to play the defensive gap of the University of Coimbra, but also allow Lao Lei to focus more on defense in the second half, so as not to accidentally overturn the boat in the gutter.

At the start of the second half, Andre stepped back more to receive the ball to organise, while the elder Lei comfortably dragged Caelho to his side and formed a barrier in midfield with Caraba. Although Andre has not been the commander of the team for some time, the tacit understanding with the team has not disappeared, and he has taken over the baton smoothly. Although Andrade lacks the fluidity, stability and flexibility that comes with continuous running, it still puts some pressure on the Universitiate de Coimbra's defence.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Andre organized a dangerous attack. He played a series of small passes between him and Ugo on the left flank, and after the last he received a cross from Andre, he broke out of the circle of the Universitatea Coimbra defenders. After Ugo went to the ground, he made a horizontal pass close to the ground. It's a pity that McCarthy, under the interference of the opposing central defender, did not control his footwork well and put an anti-aircraft gun.

And after 65 minutes, the University of Coimbra's fitness finally went into question as Mourinho had hoped. Their head coach made timely substitutions to alleviate the problem, but it was a drop in the bucket, especially when they had to juggle attack.

With the relentless pressing of the new players, they got a good chance to defend and counter-attack at the 70th minute. After the break, although the first landing point was won by Raio, the erroneous football fell to the feet of the striker of the University of Coimbra, and there was a lot of space in the front field to take advantage of. Unfortunately, the striker was too anxious to wait for his teammates to come up and choose to shoot directly with his feet, and the ball was too straight and was easily beaten out of the penalty area by Lemato, defusing this counterattack.

After losing this good opportunity, the vigilant Leiria never gave the University of Coimbra such a chance. The defensive line, which had become shaky due to physical fitness, forced Keelho to leave Lao Lei and go back to increase his defensive strength. And the departure of Keelho undoubtedly made Lao Lei active again and took over the baton of the team again. With the University of Coimbra's players in physical problems, Leiria's front court became fluid under the running of the old Ray and was only one step away from scoring.

And the way the goal came this time was probably something that no one expected. After a couple of chances were wasted by Leiria's attack, on 85 minutes, Leiria finally had another good chance to open the scoring. Lao Lei, who was dribbling the ball in midfield, saw that the players of the University of Coimbra could barely take a step, and he immediately decided to make a breakthrough, and at this time the devil still ensured that he had plenty of speed and strength.

When he used his body and speed to eat a midfielder from the University of Coimbra, Caelho pressed again. Now he is sweating profusely, panting, and looking like he is not physically strong, no wonder he has played half the game with Lao Lei, and his physical strength is naturally consumed faster, otherwise he should not be like this.

Although the spirit is commendable, the gap between strength and speed is too great. So when he saw that he was about to be unable to keep up with Lao Lei, he immediately decided to adopt foul tactics. This time, he didn't foul when he was behind like last time, but when he was parallel to Lao Lei, he used his hands and feet to pull Lao Lei down, and then he also fell.

Just when everyone was waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, the old thunder hand was on the ground and was about to get up and continue to attack. This allowed the referee to lower the whistle again from his mouth and make an offensive position. And at this time, after Keelho saw Lao Lei's movements, his stubborn temper in his heart also came up, and he gritted his teeth and didn't know that a force erupted in his body, and he quickly stood up behind Lao Lei.

At this time, Lao Lei controlled the football and was about to move forward, Keelho hung directly on Lao Lei's body, and at the same time, in order not to be dragged by Lao Lei again, his feet were also stretched out. Then the two of them rolled forward for some distance again, and Keelho thought to himself that this time it would be okay.

Who would have thought that Lao Lei's stubborn temper also came up, and the young and aggressive hormones made him make the decision to quickly stand up and attack for the second time. Keelho felt that the old thunder that fell on him was bursting again, did he still want to? As soon as he thought about it, he immediately exerted the last bit of strength and stretched his feet forward as far as he could.

This time, Lao Lei, who had just gained an unstable footing, was once again tripped and stumbled by the outstretched leg of Keelho, and the football rolled out of Lao Lei's control at one time. At this time, a Coimbra University player who came back to his senses came up and wanted to clear the ball with a big foot, and his reason told him that this time Lao Lei should not stand up, but when he thought of the stubborn, unwilling, and unruly eyes when Lao Lei fell just now, he still wanted to destroy Leiria's attack this time, more precisely, it should be Lao Lei's attack.

He knew that if he really scored like this, he and the team would be the backdrop for Leiria's No. 13 again, just like last time. Being someone else's backdrop is the last thing every athlete wants, let alone twice in a row.

This player from the University of Coimbra has already come to the ball, looking at this football, thinking in his heart that it will be soon, it will be soon, and Masan is about to touch it. But suddenly a foot reached into his field of vision, and his eyes froze.

It turned out that when Lao Lei was about to fall to the ground again, he saw the movements of the University of Coimbra player, and his heart was crossed. Prop your hands forward on the court, exert your waist and abdomen, as if doing gymnastics, prop yourself up and throw your feet in front of you. The right foot is bent up, and then the football is kicked hard, and the football rolls forward into the penalty area.

McCarthy looked at the soccer ball rolling in front of him, instinctively took it and stopped, turned around, and shot. The ball flew into the Universitatea de Coimbra goal again, and their goalkeeper didn't react at all, even if the shot wasn't too powerful. After the goalkeeper glanced at the ball in the goal, he looked at Lao Lei who fell to the ground, and shook his head helplessly, the ball himself did not react at all.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Leiria's 13, who was still lying on the ground.

Everyone saw how he "wrestled" with Keelho and advanced 10 meters.

I saw the gymnastics-style assist at the end of the day.

All of this made them forget about that goal.

And when Lao Lei got up and saw that the goal had been scored, he immediately turned around and found Keelho, who was still on the ground, and walked two steps in front of him. This made the referee nervous and hurriedly ran over, thinking that there was going to be a fight.

However, Lao Lei just clenched his fists in front of Keelho, who was sitting on the ground, and said loudly: "How can you stop me? Next to him was a group of players from the University of Coimbra with their heads bowed, including Ceelho, who was sitting on the ground.

It's not getting carried away, it's pride after defeating an opponent you recognize.
