Fox in the Penalty Area

Rosas made a full circle in midfield and stuck the defender behind him while re-facing the attacking direction.

He passed the ball to Kabunka who was cutting in from the wing to the center.

The Brazilian took the ball and swung the ball away from the defender who was shoveling, and then he passed it diagonally to the left.

Over there, Mario Salado popped out of the back line, receiving the ball behind the back line with his excellent start speed.

After passing the ball, Kabangka changed to cut inward and rushed into the penalty area.

At the same time, he raised his arm and signaled Salado to pass him the ball.

But Salado didn't see his running position and gestures at all. At this moment, he only had the goal in his eyes.

He kicked and shot directly without a big angle!

The football was saved from the baseline by goalkeeper Toni Schulman.

Salado held his head in his hands, showing an incredible expression - he thought the shot was of high quality and decisive, but he was thrown out by Schulman unexpectedly.

Just as he felt sorry for missing this opportunity, Kabanka, who ran for nothing in the penalty area, said to him very seriously: "Mario, you should take a look in the middle, and then you will find me and Alegria ran out of space."

Salado knew that it was Kabanka who was criticizing him for being too independent. Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with his kick, he did not refute Kabanka face to face, but nodded: "Next time I will pay more attention. of."

"Schulman is in good condition, we can consider sending Cordero out on loan..."

The head coach Reilly Vicente on the sidelines of the training field said: "Let him stay in the team, I am afraid it will affect the atmosphere in the locker room."

Standing beside him, the club's sporting director Ernesto Medina sighed inwardly, but nodded in agreement with the new coach.

Although Carlos Cordero performed very well as the main goalkeeper for most of last season, when he was tricked by Hu Lai and lost the ball in a sneak attack, it was like opening a Pandora's box.

Although Cordero denied that the defeat in that game had caused him a psychological shadow, it was actually a psychological shadow.

In the thirty-seventh round of the league, the Catalan United lost 3:5 away to the Madrid Pirates, which is the most powerful evidence.

In that game, Codlow's goal was pierced four times by Hu Lai.

Not only did he fail to end Hu Lai's momentum of scoring consecutive goals as he said before the game, but he was stabbed four times by Hu Lai...

Although objectively speaking, not all of the five goals conceded by Codlow were directly related to him.

But goalkeepers are like this, you have conceded so many goals, there must be an explanation, you can’t say that every conceded goal has nothing to do with you, right?

Otherwise, why can't you pounce?

To make matters worse is the last round of the league.

Cathay United hosts newly promoted Athletic Kvitt.

Although the Catalan United has missed the chance to compete for the league championship at this time, the team still hopes to bid farewell to the 2028-2029 season with a victory at home.

As a result, the Catalan United led by two goals, but was chased by Corvette Sporting for two goals in a row. In the end, they were tied 2:2 at home by Corvette Sporting.

Athletic Kvitt's second goal was precisely due to an error from a strike by Codlow...

Rumor has it that Carlos Cordero has been beaten to pieces by Hu Lai.

The Catalan club, which originally said it would not consider introducing a goalkeeper to replace Codello, also changed its mind.

After sacking former head coach Jose Bernal, they signed a four-year deal with Eredivisie giants Rotterdam Elite coach Reilly Vicente.

With Vicente taking office, in addition to his coaching team, there is also the Rotterdam elite and the main goalkeeper of the Dutch national team, the 28-year-old Tone Schulman.

This signing basically means that the Catalan club has lost confidence in Codello, and they dare not let Codello continue to stand in front of the goal.

So the dignified second goalkeeper of the Spanish national team,

The talented goalkeeper cultivated by the Catalan United has been reduced to the point where if he does not leave, he will have no ball to play.

Some people criticized Catalan for being impersonal, while others criticized the new coach Vicente for being too cold-blooded.

But more Catalan fans are cheering for Schulman.

Tone Schulman has just won the Eredivisie title last season and is still the best goalkeeper in the league.

He has always been the target of many European teams. Now that he can join the Catalan United, it must have a lot to do with his mentor Vicente.

"But when newcomers laugh, old ones cry" is almost a daily occurrence in wealthy families.

Just because you were the team's hero once doesn't mean you'll always be the team's hero. When there is a stronger newcomer to take your place, everyone will only cheer for the newcomer. How many people will care about you who was squeezed out of your position? They even want you to leave quickly and make room...

The same thing happened with the Madrid Pirates.

When Hu Lai performed well after coming to the Madrid Pirates, it happened that when Carey was resting due to his second serious injury, everyone was cheering for Hu Lai's goal, and even the media sent out "who needs 'MAX' ?” asked back.

It is also the plot of "new people laugh, old people cry".

While the head coach and athletic director are deciding the fate of Kordero, the confrontational training on the training field continues.

This time the team's midfielder Victor Campusano sent an overhead pass in midfield.

Mario Salado chases the ball through the half.

Defensive players are chasing after him.

When Salado caught up with the football, the defender was right behind him. In fact, he can stop football and then develop towards the wing. Although this will slow down the rhythm and may even allow the team to reorganize the offense, it can still control the ball at its own feet.

So Salado intends to park the football to the outside.

But at this moment, he heard Kabanka shout from the middle: "Cross!"

Cross again?

I can't even see what's going on in the middle!

In order to stop the football to the outside, Salado adjusted the direction slightly. His body was sideways facing the center of the penalty area. In addition, there was a defensive player stuck behind him. Even if he turned his head, it was difficult to see the center of the goal clearly. Case.

But Kabanka actually wanted him to pass... How did he pass without observing?

That's right, he did see the situation in the middle when he sprinted to chase the ball, but that was two or three seconds ago. Who knows what happened in the middle now?

"King Kong is not bad for the Great Walled Lord"

So I have to pass the ball to you, right?

Well, here you go!

Salado was terrified, turned around halfway, and kicked the football still in the air with his left foot directly to the middle!

The football jumped high, flew past the defenders behind him, drew a parabola and fell towards the goal.

This ball is very weird, because Salado's crossing is not a simple crossing footwork, it is similar to the kick when he adds an upward force, so the football is high and spins, and the flight trajectory is not easy to judge. Said, stopping the ball is not easy to stop.

Salado stared at Kabunka after the cross. He wanted to see how this Brazilian genius, who claims to be comparable to Meli, can hold his own ball?

He asked himself to pass this ball. If he can't handle it well, let's see if he has the face to criticize him in the future!

Salado thought so, and saw Kabanka rushing towards the football landing point with his eyes, making a direct shot.

The central defender in the front quickly made an eye-catching movement, but after Kabanka swung his right foot out, instead of shooting, he firmly received the fast-rotating and falling football on the instep. The speed of the football falling is kept in sync, and it looks like the football is hovering strangely on his feet...

He just stopped a difficult high ball!

Before everyone could react, he swung his right foot again, and this time he shot!

One kick with the instep volley!

The football was pumped firmly to the back corner of the goal!

This time the goalkeeper Shulman couldn't make a save. Although he had already made a move, he was obviously a bit slower...

The football roared into the goal and hit the net!

Salado was dumbfounded.

There was applause from the sidelines.

Vicente clapped and said to athletic director Medina:

"Although Rosas is thirty-four years old, I think he can continue to perform at a high level in his current position, as can Campusano. There is no need to disassemble the midfield combination of the two of them. Rosas Si was injured before and his state was affected, but I think the reason for his poor performance is not on him, but on the team's midfielder position.

"Insua's ability is not enough to serve as the team's main defensive midfielder. The club should sign up as soon as possible. Maybe you can consider Van der Stern from Blue and White Munich. Although his style is a bit rough, his defensive level is really good. high.

"As long as a strong midfielder is added, Rosas can be liberated and let him concentrate on sorting out the midfield. In this way, his performance will definitely be better than before."

Medina nodded in approval. He also knew that the team's midfielder Pedro Insua was not at the top level. In the Spanish national team, he was also the substitute of the pirate captain Juan Ramirez.

"With Rosas and Campusano both able to maintain a normal state, the team's organizational skills are sufficient. There is no need for Kabanka to organize again. Although he scored double figures in goals and assists last season , scoring 25 goals and 18 assists, looks very dazzling. But in my opinion, it is a waste of both his assists and his scoring ability. It is better to let him focus more on scoring. Ball The team now lacks a stable scoring point, Paterson is gone, Salado is immature."

Vicente continued to share his thoughts with Medina.

"Kabangka is worthy of such a role in terms of state and ability. I even think that his performance last season was completely unworthy of the money the club spent on him, but this season... I am confident that the club will see a real player. Kabanka."

Kabunka on the field has just scored a very beautiful goal, but there is no smile on his face.
