Chapter 174: A Long Pass with Precision
The goalkeeper of the Sevilla team also judged Wu Lei's intention at the moment of Wu Lei's shot.
However, his body was withdrawing towards the middle of the goal, and it was not so easy to pounce to the left again, because of inertia, although he made a move to the left, in the end he could only watch the ball roll into the net from the bottom left corner of the goal.
Wu Lei, who completed the shot, was almost caught into a meatloaf by several defenders who rushed over.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
The ball is in!
The live score became 2-1!
Espanyol overtook the score in the 67th minute!
And both goals were scored by Chinese player Wu Lei!
The fans in the stands can no longer restrain their love for Wu Lei, they shout Wu Lei's name loudly and rhythmically, Wu Lei has brought them too many surprises today, and even let them see the hope of the Espanyol team to overturn the strong team of Sevilla.
Will the second half of the league really get off to a good start?
Of course, domestic fans are more excited, Wu Lei's performance today has made the whole village see hope!
It's a pity that he didn't have such a good form in the group stage of the World Preliminary Tournament against the Philippines, otherwise, that game would not have been stuffy.
Originally leading, the result was equalized, and now it is overtaken, and it is lost at the feet of a Chinese player, and the Sevilla team is a little unbalanced from the coach to the player's mentality.
The head coach made a substitution as soon as possible, replacing the midfielder who defended Wu Lei twice, but was forced by Wu Lei twice, and replaced him with an offensive midfielder.
The replaced midfielder felt very depressed, his state of the ball was actually very good, and he felt that he was playing okay, he was forced by Wu Lei twice, and the result of conceding twice made him puzzled.
But looking at the manager's approach, the responsibility should be attributed to him.
What a bad luck!
Mourinho's face is also even more ugly.
Before the game and during the game, he said several times that Wu Lei was not good, but Wu Lei scored two goals in a row, which was too much of a slap in the face.
Is it because you have lost your eyes? When deciding to take over this team, he really studied each player very carefully! I don't see anything brilliant about Wu Lei, why did this ball become so brave?
When Espanyol equalised 1-1, Sevilla couldn't accept a draw to get a point, so they stepped up their attack to score again and win the game to get all three points.
But now I actually lost another one, the score is still behind, and it is very likely that I will lose this game! You can't even get a single point!
Sevilla, of course, were even more unacceptable to the result.
So, they continued to intensify the offensive.
The manager replaces a defensive midfielder with an attacking midfielder, which is of course a signal to strengthen the attack.
All of a sudden, the Espanyol team's backcourt became noisy again, and Gao Hong's nerves were also highly tense, constantly switching and operating various players, so that they appeared in the defensive positions in time one by one.
After falling 2-1 down, the Sevilla players stepped up their offensive and stormed the Espanyol goal for more than five minutes, in which they had three shots, one on target, but could not find the back of the net.
After more than five minutes of onslaught, Sevilla's players were out of fitness, and some players even collapsed on the pitch with leg cramps, and the attack had to slow down.
Espanyol, who had been on the defensive for most of the game, sounded the horn of the charge.
After a corner kick from Sevilla FC was defended, the ball was passed to the feet of Wu Lei.
The players of the Sevilla team because of the corner kick tactics, most of the players were in the half of the Espanyol team at this time, and when they saw Wu Lei taking the ball, two players stepped forward to intercept, and most of the other players hesitated and did not retreat to defend.
There's a kind of fluke mentality on their part.
It is believed that these two players are likely to steal the ball at Wu Lei's feet, and think that even if they don't grab the ball, it will greatly slow down the Spaniards' counterattack and give them enough time to defend.
Wu Lei did not choose to break through this time.
Based on his vision on the pitch, his best chance is to pass the ball back to the backline.
After all, there are opposing players defending a few meters away from the front left, front and right, including more than ten meters in front of them, and there is a 90% chance that the ball will be cut off when passing the ball forward.
Under normal circumstances, even players with relatively high skills will choose to pass back to the defenders at this time, and then continue to organize the offensive in the front court after the foot is reversed.
But the current Wu Lei is operated by Gao Hong.
Gao Hong can clearly see the distribution and running positions of the players in the entire stadium in the virtual mobile phone.
And Gao Hong knows every player he operates very well because of the previous virtual games of more than 1,000 games day and night, so he knows very well that the striker Chiro, who is in the opponent's half at this time? Immobile and Timo Werner are both in good shape.
What they need is a long, accurate pass.
Currently Chiro? Immobile was on the left flank, while Timo Werner was in the middle near the right, watching the dribble and ready to burst forward.
Gao Hong decisively let Wu Lei pass a long pass, although Wu Lei doesn't have such a good vision, but he has. Although Wu Lei doesn't have such good footwork, Gao Hong can press the strength and precision bar just right when operating.
The other players on the field only saw Wu Lei, who was bowing his head and dribbling the ball, without raising his head, and directly passed the ball to the front court!
Werner, who is in the first gear of world-class players in terms of speed and explosiveness, immediately rushed to the front court without looking back after seeing Wu Lei's kicking moves.
At the moment when Wu Lei passed the ball, Werner was not in an offside position, but after the ball was passed, Werner had already opened a distance of more than three meters from the defenders of the Sevilla team!
When Sevilla's players noticed that things were not going well and spread their legs to chase back, Werner's pace made them desperate.
When Werner rushed to more than ten meters in front of the Sevilla team's penalty area, the ball from Wu Lei's long pass also landed in front of him with great precision, allowing him to comfortably dribble the ball into the Sevilla team's penalty area.
The Sevilla goalkeeper had to abandon the goal.
Timo Werner deftly changed the line past the goalkeeper before slotting the ball into the empty net.
The score on the field became three to one!
After Wu Lei scored two goals for Espanyol with two shots, he assisted his teammate Timo Werner to score another valuable goal for Espanyol! This crucial goal almost sealed the victory of this game!
