Chapter 10: One-sided

The game kicks off at 4 p.m. sharp. The moment the whistle blew, Cornea changed his previous decline and pressed the whole field, and even the two defenders entered the Espanyol half.

Cornea coach Carlos decided to take Espanyol by surprise in the opening stages and gain the advantage.

To be honest, Hu Xuefei was a little unprepared for Cornea's start, which can be seen from the performance of the players on the field. When Lozano and Oscar defended on the left and right sides of Cornea's midfielder Otta, they were broken through by Ota and Ada with a simple two-by-one against the wall.

After Otta made a short pass to Ada, he passed past Oscar, who was a beat slower, and then beckoned Ada to pass back.

"Ada, pass it back to me."

Ada knocked the football back to Horta, and the simple cooperation of the two took advantage of the situation to solve the siege of Lozano and Oscar. After the cross, Ada Yi continued to run on the wing, and Victor made a wide cross to prevent Ota from passing back to Ada Yi again. He had no choice but to follow Adayi, but kept a certain distance, keeping his eyes on Ota to prevent Ota from cutting into the penalty area.

Sure enough, after Ota received Adayi's pass, he didn't choose to pass it back to Adayi again and made a simple cross from the side. Instead, he chose to push forward with the ball on his own head and continue to cut inside.

After losing the protection of midfield, Ota faced Polsot directly on the back line. Porsot lowered his center of gravity and focused his full attention on defending Otta's inside breakaway. As soon as Victor saw that Ota was really looking for a breakthrough, he immediately set off and leaned towards Porsot, trying to combine the two to complete the defense.

Ota glanced up at Porsot, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and regardless of whether the defender in front of him would foul or not, a set of pedals came directly under his feet.

"In the team, in terms of foot skills, I am recognized as the number one, look at how I pass you, stupid." Otta sneered inwardly.

As Ota showed off his kung fu, he gave Victor time to arrive. Without hesitation, Victor kicked the ball at Otta's feet in the back and cut it off directly.

"Oops!"

Horta was shocked to see the ball out of his control. At this time, Ota had come to a few meters outside the Espanyol penalty area, and was about to take advantage of the situation with his left foot and burst into the penalty area, but unexpectedly made a halfway way to bite the gold and cut off the ball.

"What should I do?" Otta's brain was racing to think, and before Otta could think of a countermeasure, his swinging left leg touched Victor's instep as it reached in.

Otta's left leg was on the instep of Victor's snatch, and his body that rushed forward naturally fell directly to the ground.

Syllable!

Ota fell heavily on the edge of the big penalty area, just pressing the white line of the penalty area, and then shouted in pain.

"Foul, that's a foul!" The little ball boys and parents of Cornea on the sidelines couldn't help but shout. It was agreed that Victor's top grab had touched Otta's left foot.

The referee ignored Otta's complaints, and instead swung his hands in front of him to indicate that it was not a foul.

"What, that's a foul, he touched my leg, are you blind?" Ota made a carp and quickly came to the referee.

The whistle didn't blow and the ball was broken by Victor's outstretched leg before coming to the feet of Polsot. Polsot glanced at the referee, and thought that Victor's top grab had touched the opponent's left leg.

But the whistle was not sounded for a long time.

"Pass, Bol." Hu Xuefei's shout woke everyone up, and after Polsot beat his spirit, he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, quickly glanced at Gomez's position, and directly sent the ball to the sky with a big foot.

With Ota seemingly brought down by Victor, everyone on the pitch waited for the referee's whistle, even the head coach of Cornea. But Hu Xuefei secretly cursed Ota for mixing garlic and wrestling at his feet when Ota was doing cycling. When Otta really fell, Hu Xuefei subconsciously shouted: "Pass!" ”

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Cornea's two centre-backs turned around as if it had been a century, watching Gomez rush past them. Hu Xuefei never gave Gomez a little defensive task, even if he was besieged, he didn't allow Gomez to come back to participate in the defense, in Hu Xuefei's eyes, since you are a striker, then charge in front of me, give me the score, the defense is the responsibility of the defenders, and you come back to add chaos.

So Gomez has been not far in front of Cornea's two centre-backs, ready for the opportunity to counter-attack. With plenty of time to sprint, Gomez was able to break through Cornea's offside line in an instant.

Hu Xuefei watched the football fly up, shining dazzlingly in the afternoon sun, and crashed straight behind the Cornea backline.

Gomez quickly appeared at the landing point of the football, stretched his foot, and the ball landed 3 meters in front of Gomez, perfectly lying on the ball.

Javier Planaguma and Caneda behind Gomez, despite all their efforts, could not catch up with the figure in front of them, and the despair in their eyes was still there.

"Single-handed!"

Cornea goalkeeper Adria Pulido went straight out of goal, lowering his center of gravity and spreading his body fully in an attempt to block all angles of Gomez's shot.

Gomez glanced at Pulido's blockade, did not panic, shook his left foot, flicked his right foot, interfered with the goalkeeper's judgment, and chose to pass the goalkeeper.

Pulido clearly didn't expect Gomes, who burst into the box, to choose to pass instead of shoot straight at goal. After a simple shake, he lost his center of gravity and was blocked by Gomez.

Everything went so smoothly, and in training, Gomez had practiced a lot of one-on-one against the goalkeeper, and this time, he easily, very simply, finished the attack with a goal.

Wow!!!!!

Perfect for quick counter-attacks.

Cornea's lads paid the price for the forward pressing tactics laid out by the head coach before the game.

Just eight minutes into the game, Espanyol U19s used a quick counter-attack to break down the Cornea backline. Gomez's solo goal was like a sword in the hearts of everyone in Cornea.

Carlos quickly ran to the fourth officer, pointed at Victor and shouted, "He fouled, can't you all see it?" He tripped over my team's left foot, left foot, can't you see? An enraged Carlos pointed to his left leg and almost lifted his left leg in front of the fourth officer.

"I'm sorry, we don't have a VAR system, everything is subject to the referee's decision, please calm down, otherwise our referee has the right to let you sit in the stands." The fourth official frowned and said to Carlos in a cold voice.

The red-faced head coach of Cornea looked at the fourth official viciously, but he didn't dare to complain. Turn around and look at the players on the field.

"What are you doing, are you well fed?"

"Javier, did I tell you to stand in front of you? I'm just going to press forward the line, not to be completely pressed up and involved in the attack. ”

"Ota what are you doing, are you doing with your foot skills? Or your amazing explosiveness? ”

Cornea coach Carlos was like a wild dog, grabbing the 11 people on the field and frantically reprimanding. At this time, Hu Xuefei was holding Horion and celebrating.

"Scored, we scored again." Hu Xuefei shouted frantically, as if announcing how good his team was.

"Hu, okay, long enough, you've been hugging me for too long." Horion hurriedly pulled Hu Xuefei away from his body, once again doubting Hu Xuefei's orientation, and the expression on his face was even more expressive.

Hu Xuefei: "............"

The goal was scored in the opening 8 minutes, and in an instant Cornea's morale dropped to the extreme, and even no matter how Carlos yelled on the sidelines, Cornea's players were scattered and had no will to fight.

"Well, Cornea's head coach seems to be very unpopular, Horion." Hu Xuefei saw that some Cornea players on the field were resisting the instructions of their head coach, and asked Horion suspiciously.

"Well, Mr. Carlos is known for his strictness, although he is a very good-natured gentleman on a daily basis, but as long as it touches football, it is a different person."

"Mr. Carlos was born in the Cornea academy, and the playing era was not smooth, so it was logical to become a youth coach, but in terms of football, the team played very well in the first and second seasons of coaching, but suddenly died in the third year, and there were many contradictions."

"It's been a long time since he's back in Cornea, it's his fourth year of the season." Horion explained one by one.

Well, this personality and coaching career are a little familiar, but I don't remember them very well. Anyway, it seems that this game is out of suspense.

On the field, the Cornea U19 players, who had no fighting faith, were slaughtered like tigers entering a flock of sheep against the players of the Espanyol U19s with high morale.

For the rest of the game, although Carlos worked the half-time break and substitutions, he could not stop the Spaniard from scoring goals.

In the 25th minute, the Spaniard once again played a delicate combination in the front, and Nicoshi Corneana intercepted in the middle of the field and pushed forward with the ball alone.

Cornea midfielder Jody behind him slowly and leisurely chasing did not affect Nico at all, Nico saw that Cornea's central defenders did not continue to come forward to block, directly slashed his big foot, the football did not have a trace of spin, like a cannonball, shot directly towards the goal. Goalkeeper Pulido thought that Nico would continue to break through, so he coldly caught Nico's cold shot off guard, and finally a low shot from outside the Nico penalty area directly penetrated the ten fingers of Cornea goalkeeper Pulido.

Nico celebrated wildly, and Hu Xuefei also clapped his hands on the field to cheer for Niko's wonderful long-range shot.

In the 30th minute, the Spaniard's front field quickly kicked the ball, Cornea's players were like a pile of stunned stakes, watching the Spaniard's smooth kick in front of the ball cooperation, after playing a wonderful set of passing coordination, Hovre ran back into the penalty area, received a straight plug from Nico, a burst shot, Pulido stood in the near corner of the post, but still did not hold the attack, the football burst into the net, 3:0, the suspense of the game was completely over, and Hovre also scored his first goal of the season.

"Beep.. Beep.. Beep ......"

The referee blew the whistle and ended the game. For Cornea, this was a fiasco, 3:0, a big loss to the Spaniards, which Hu Xuefei couldn't bear to be ruthless, and changed the substitutes in the three substitutes in the midfield, and then let them take it easy. That's what makes it even more ugly for Cornea not to lose.

But this has already hit the head coach of Cornea, and at this time, sitting on the bench, the pale and lonely look seems to make him ten years older.

Hu Xuefei looked at the Cornea coach, patted his back sympathetically, and after a friendly gesture, he walked on the field to hug and celebrate with his players.

Football has wins and losses, there are losers and winners, just sympathize, not to mention that he is still a football coach who is a halfway monk, and he may be fired one day because of bad results or poor youth training results. After all, no manager can play for a club to the end in this world of money.
