Chapter 82: The Opening Battle
In order to promote Rice Sport's holographic technology, Lee Bern obtained the consent of the South American Football Conmebol (CONMEBOL) before the start of the match, and will provide the technology for free in the four semi-finals and the final final of the Copa Sudamericana. Although the technology is currently in use in some of Asia's major leagues, it was the first time that South Americans saw it with their own eyes, and there was no doubt that when the opening session of more than 40,000 fans and away players saw the rising light of the sun god on both sides of the field hit the red and black São Paulo shield with an extremely realistic beam, especially when the São Paulo shield waved and reflected the beam towards the main stand, and even the screams of the fans in the main stand. Just like when I used it for the first time in the match with Suwon Samsung, the fans didn't expect that in addition to the realism of the image, the beam could also feel the temperature, which was so exciting!
When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, sure enough, the Sao Paulo players had not recovered from the shock just now. In fact, this is also a little clever played by the teenager, what he wants is to try to steal a goal first when the opponent is inattentive. Hehe, soldiers don't get tired of cheating!
After the Suns kicked off, they didn't directly launch a fast attack, after all, football games are not the same as basketball games, and there is basically no situation where a person dribbles to the penalty area and shoots with his foot up. The difference in the size of the stadium is too big, and at the same time, there are more defenders in football, not to mention that there is a big living person standing in front of the goal. After about two or three minutes of slow-paced passing, this time the Suns distributed the ball to the feet of Xie Feng on the right side, and the situation in the front field is currently outside the big penalty area Emerson is guarding the forward Peng Weijun, and Trezeguet on the penalty line and Hu Zhijun at the far point are each tightly pressed by a central defender. This ball Xie Feng passed a low flat ball to Trezeguet at the near point, and at the same time he quickly stepped forward to the right side to attract the attention of the opponent's left-back Rodriguez and central defender Edmilson, at the same time Peng Weijun to the top of the big penalty area between Trezeguet and Hu Zhijun, at this time Edmilson's position followed Trezeguet to the front of about five or six meters, Trezeguet, who was facing the goal with his back, did not stop the ball, but used the outside of his right foot to bounce the ball to Peng Weijun's forward position, at this time because of Ballack's forward movement, Emerson as a midfielder naturally needs to pay attention to the Suns' forward position. So another central defender who was marking Hu Zhijun hurriedly filled the position in the middle, Peng Er was very smart to give a direct pass to the penalty spot, and at this time, Hu Zhijun, who was unmarked, inserted into the opponent's penalty area at high speed and stabbed it alone!
Hu Zhijun shoots with his feet! Oops, the ball was prejudged by the opponent's goalkeeper Saini and saved it in reverse, the ball bounced to the middle and it was still Hu Zhijun's ball, and Seni didn't have time to get up, just when Hu Zhijun was about to shoot, Edmilson, who was back in place, made a reasonable charge, Hu Zhijun lost the ball, and Saini quickly got up and made a leap to press the ball firmly under him. Alas, this goal is a big loss, I didn't count that Pepper actually wasted this opportunity, the lack of physical confrontation ability is Hu Zhijun's biggest problem now, plus the physical collision in the previous game with Sarsfield, there were two in just two games, it seems that the team's forward line still needs to be strengthened.
The Suns team's sneak attack failed, and Saini held the ball and lay on the ground for almost 10 seconds before standing up, it seems that the ball was also frightened, the Oriental boy is too bad! After taking a few deep breaths, Seni threw the ball with one hand to Serginho on the right. Looking at the back line of the Sun God team, Serginho made a long diagonal pass, and the ball flew straight towards the position on the side behind Gattuso, Ze Roberto and Xie Feng jumped at the same time, with a height difference of 8 cm, Xie Feng didn't fight the other party for this goal. Ball quilt Ze. Roberto rubbed at the feet of the forward Leonardo, Gattuso went up to grab the ball, but before he could start, Leonardo, who had his back to Gattuso, had already passed the ball back to Emerson in the back position, and he threw Gattuso away and moved towards the Sun God penalty area, while Marcelinho withdrew from behind the front line to receive Emerson's pass, and then half-turned and distributed the ball to the beast Edmundo. Looking at Leonardo who was inserted in front, left central defender Li Wei'e judged that the opponent's offensive routine this time was the same as his own side just now, so Li Wei followed Leonardo and retreated. Unexpectedly, Edmundo shook a shot, and his center of gravity sank, but he broke through to the penalty area. Li Bourne just moved slightly to block the angle of the opponent's feet, but the ball right central defender Huang Qineng was shaken, Edmundo breakthrough action just made, the former had already started to go to the middle, the cunning Brazilian center of gravity did not adjust back, directly the right heel from behind to the left high-speed insertion Ze. Roberto, Xie Feng didn't lose the ball to the defensive position, half a body behind and followed Ze closely. Roberto, in order to be afraid that the opponent would cut into the penalty area by himself, Xie Feng didn't get his foot at the first time, so he slowed down. Roberto had already crossed, and the ball flew from the front of the penalty area to the middle of the box with a clear arc. Fortunately, neither Marcelinho nor Edmundo are good headers and have limited height, and just as the Suns defender line was just relieved, Leonardo returned to the penalty area in a half circle from behind Li Wei at the far end, just in time for the drop.
Leaked! Li Wei didn't pay attention at all, thinking that Leonardo was waiting behind him to grab a point, and seeing that Leonardo, who was unguarded, was about to hit the goal with his feet, suddenly a figure flew over from the penalty area. Nice tackle! Leonardo didn't expect this offensive routine to be seen through by the opponent. The result is that Li Byrne shoveled the ball out first, and at this moment Leonardo's shooting action has not stopped, this is good, a kick in the back of the teenager, the pain of Li Byrne is rolling on the ground, but fortunately the inertia after the tackle is not so big, the ball slides out more than one step to be kicked is the head, less slide out of the waist is the waist, it is a blessing in misfortune.
Gattuso, who received the ball, quickly drove the ball out of the sideline and rushed over to find Leonardo in trouble. Players from both teams surrounded the game, and the referee quickly blew for a halt to the game. To say that Leonardo is indeed not the kind of player who plays the ball very dirty, this ball is also inertia can not be contained, looking at the other party's sincere apology, Gattuso put away his vicious appearance.
Fortunately, it was a hard injury, and after a while, Li Bern said that he had no problem and could continue to play. So the referee blew the whistle to signal that the game would continue, and the Sao Paulo team was also quite sportsmanlike, and without saying a word, they threw the ball back to the Guangzhou Sun God team. The fans responded with applause.
It was a tough game to play, and it was clear that Sao Paulo was the strongest team Lee Bern had ever faced in the past six months. Very good! With more hard stubble like this, the faster the team can improve!
