Chapter 45(1/2)
: Injury to the point
"Oh, an incredible save! Eagle~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Casillas!!! Denilson almost broke through Real Madrid's goal with his own strength at the beginning of the second half. Fortunately, Casillas made a world-class save. This save not only rejected Denilson's world shot, but also rejected the opportunity for Betis to secure the victory in advance!" commentator Jessus yelled in surprise.
In the stands at Lopela Stadium, Betis fans were already ready to cheer for De Nielsen's solo break and his hat trick in this game. But Casillas' wonderful save made their cheers stuck in their throats, and then replaced by their regretful sighs!
Tang Feng was already excited to rush to the sidelines, and even his hands were gathered across his shoulders, preparing to have another passionate celebration.
Damn it! I forgot that Real Madrid's goalkeeper is Saint Cassi today! Tang Feng thought depressedly.
Before traveling through time, Casillas has always been one of the goalkeepers that Tang Feng admires the most. But as an opponent today, he can't appreciate his wonderful save against Casillas!
On the field!
Denilson felt very good the moment he kicked the ball out, and the speed and trajectory of the ball afterwards also confirmed his idea.
Unfortunately, he met Casillas today.
Although this future Spanish goalkeeper is only nineteen years old now, he has shown super talent and maturity beyond his age. He also seized the opportunity of goalkeeper's goalkeeper in one fell swoop and occupied the team's starting goalkeeper position.
The previous two times Denilson broke through the goal guarded by Casillas, both in the penalty area. His shot made Casillas helpless. But this time, he was thirty meters away. He was facing Casillas who were waiting for him, and it was normal that he was saved in the end!
However, Denilson didn't know how high the young Real Madrid goalkeeper would achieve in the future. He was just feeling extremely regretful that his almost impeccable long shot was saved!
What Tang Feng said to him during the intermission was simply a tide of his heart.
Since logging into Europe, one of the things he wants to do most is to prove himself and use his performance to tell those who question him that he is not a parallel person!
Today is the team's last game in La Liga, and the opponent is the highly-watched giant Real Madrid.
I had already scored twice in the game before. If I scored another goal and completed a hat-trick, it would undoubtedly become the focus of the entire Spain and even the entire European football world.
In this way, those guys who question themselves should always shut up?
Unfortunately...it's just a little bit short!
Denilson shook his head helplessly, then ran to prepare to take the corner kick.
In the subsequent corner kick, Betis did not cause much trouble to Real Madrid. Although the tall Filipescu fought for the header, the Romanian pushed the ball into the stands.
Although he failed to score, Betis fans were full of expectations for the game after seeing the team's two consecutive offensives in the opening stage.
Will the team fight against Real Madrid in the second half after leading by two goals?
As it turns out, these Betis fans are really too optimistic.
Because, after the game started again, the situation on the court seemed to be a replica of the first half of the game!
Moreover, after Real Madrid's top scorer Raul came on the court, the offense seemed more organized.
Raul's range of activities is obviously larger than Anelka. The figure of Real Madrid can be seen in the penalty area, outside the penalty area, and even on the side.
Among them, in the 52nd minute, Raul's cold ejaculation when he entered the left rib really scared the Betis's sweat!
This is after Raul received the ball in the penalty area and used his personal ability to shake a gap in the shooting. His shot was also very sudden, but the ball missed the far post.
Four minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback.
Real Madrid players looked for opportunities in the frontcourt. After several passes, the ball hit the Brazilian Savio's feet.
When Sevio received the ball, he turned around and directly shot with his left foot!
The ball was similar to Denilson's shot just now, and it was 30 meters away from the goal, and Savio was still exerting force on the spot. But the ball still hit the goal like a shell!
Fortunately, the shooting angle was a bit straight, and Antonio Platz, who was in good standing, used two punches to break out of the penalty area!
Facing Real Madrid's tide attack, Betis, like the first half of the first half, had only the ability to resist but no fight back.
An hour after the game went on, another striker of Real Madrid, Morientes, completed another head-shot in Betis' penalty area.
Unfortunately, the high center forward's head was a bit too fierce, and the ball missed the goal again!
...
Looking at the passive situation on the field, Tang Feng could no longer sit on the Diaoyutai as firmly as in the first half of the first half.
Because he could see that Real Madrid's offense in the second half was obviously more targeted than in the first half.
There is no doubt that Boske also made many targeted arrangements in the midfield.
At this time, Tang Feng discovered some of the gap between himself and an old coach like Boske.
After all, I still lack some experience in on-site command. Perhaps sometimes he can have a flash of inspiration and think of some ideas. But this flash of inspiration is accidental after all, and it does not appear at any time.
For example, now, seeing the team being suppressed by Real Madrid, Tang Feng can't think of any countermeasures.
Tang Feng can only hope that the team can create a counterattack like in the first half, and then expand the lead to three goals, so that he can rest assured.
Unfortunately, judging from the situation on the court, it would be good if Betis could not concede the ball, let alone score a counterattack!
In the second half, after Real Madrid attacked for twenty minutes, something that Tang Feng was worried about finally happened.
This was a positional attack by Real Madrid. Carlos on the left used his speed to forcibly get rid of the defense and then completed a cross.
However, the ball was first shot out of the penalty area by Philippescu.
However, before the Betis could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that the ball was flying towards Real Madrid midfielder Guti outside the penalty area!
After seeing the ball in the air, Golden Wolf Guti directly swung his right foot, as if he was about to volley hard!
Faced with this situation, Betis's defensive players in the penalty area were preparing to rush out of the penalty area to block his shot.
After the ball flew in front of Guti, he made an unexpected move. He saw that his right foot obviously had a pull-out, and turned to push, stuffing the ball into the penalty area!
"Guti shot directly... No, this was a fake move, he sent a straight pass!"
After cooperating with Guti for several seasons, Raul understood the penalty area and grabbed the ball before the defensive player, then volleyed his left foot and shot from the far corner!
Antonio Platz in front of the goal didn't even have time to make a symbolic save.
The ball entered the goal without any suspense!
Faced with this situation, Betis's defensive players could only raise their arms and signal Raul to be offside before scoring the goal.
Unfortunately, the referee didn't think so. He blew the whistle in his mouth and pointed his hand in the middle circle!
"The goal is valid!!! Raul! Raul! Raul! After coming on as a substitute, the Real Madrid Prince really helped the team get a goal back. Boske's substitution is undoubtedly very correct. Now, the score gap on the field has returned to one goal. There is another suspense again!" Jessus said excitedly. As a commentator, he doesn't want the suspense of the game to be lost too early, even if this game may be a big upset.
The Betis fans in the stands sighed helplessly.
Tang Feng on the sidelines could only shake his head helplessly. This kind of ball was purely a touching relationship between two talented players Guti and Raul, and it can be said that it is hard to defend.
He could only walk to the sidelines, clapped his hands and encouraged the players: "Don't think about the goal lost, get up. Just play as I said in the midfield!"
The players on the court saw that the coach Tang Feng on the sidelines were not angry because of the goal, and the frustration of the goal was dissipated a little.
Although Tang Feng did not blame the players, it does not mean that he did not care about the concealment of the goal.
In fact, he is also very worried now because he knows that if the team continues to play like this, it will be a matter of time before the team is equalized or even overtaken.
On the field!
Raul didn't celebrate too much. He just ran back to the goal and took out the ball, then ran to the midfield while kissing the ring on his hand. This iconic celebration action gave Raul a nickname of "Lord of the Rings".
Since Real Madrid did not celebrate too much, the game quickly started again.
This time, Denilson did not go through the alone level again. Although he sometimes played very alone, he was not stupid.
The sneak attack like this just now can only be kicked once and once. If you play like this again and again, do you think the defense line is paper-based?
Therefore, Denilson chose to pass the ball back this time. Betis organized a positional attack.
Even when attacking the position, Betis's offensive force was only three in the frontcourt and Canas and left-back Closa who were inserted behind.
The endorsement of this attack was still Denilson. After several passes, the ball returned to Denilson's feet on the left.
Facing Salgado, Denilson easily completed a shot after cutting in.
However, this time his shot was a little weak, and Casillas directly grabbed it into his arms.
After holding the ball, Casillas did not just pose for shape, but rushed forward twice quickly, and a powerful hand threw the ball to Savio on the left side of the midfield.
The Brazilian took the ball and turned around and finished it in one go, then drove at full speed toward Betis' half.
"Casillas directly threw the ball and launched a counterattack! Real Madrid got a good opportunity!"
As the commentator said, Real Madrid did get a rare opportunity to counterattack. Because Betis has "only" five defensive players in the backcourt!
There is no doubt that this is the fewest backcourt for Betis in this game.
Seeing Savio driving over, Captain Betis Alexis rushed over first.
Savio did not stick to the ball. After attracting Alexis' defense, he directly passed the ball to Guti who was inserted in the middle.
After Guti got the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball. At this time, Miroslav Korhan was the only one left in the front of the penalty area in the middle!
Compared to the previous two to three defensive players who had to face two or three defensive players every time he dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, Guti felt much more relaxed this time.
After dribbling the ball into the 30-meter area, Guti directly swung his right foot, as if he was about to shoot a long shot.
Although I knew that Guti might be a fake move, Miroslav Korhan still had to bite the bullet and block it.
Sure enough, after Miroslav Korhan made a blocking move, Guti lifted his right foot and put down lightly, completing a spike.
Miroslav Korhan also kept a backup plan. He retracted his center of gravity in time and then called Guti in the direction.
