After Hulay scored, it was Catalonia's turn to kick off.

They were not in a hurry to kick the football out. The team's captain Kabangka stood in the center circle with the football under his feet and made a gesture to his teammates, telling them to be steady and in control.

"Kabonka is such a good player!"

Seeing this, Madrid Pirates assistant coach Jesus Valentin sighed with emotion.

"Riley Vicente is a good coach, too," Parotti said. "Although he conceded two goals, he didn't panic. The head coach stayed calm so the players could calm down. It makes sense that they won the Champions League last season. If they can really eliminate us in this game , then I think they can successfully defend their title.”

"I don't want them to successfully defend the title..." second assistant coach Enzo Nacher said. Parotti smiled and did not continue.

This is not something that is hoped for or not wished for.

"Come on, pirates!" "Come on, pirates!!"

When the game restarted, the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands became even more excited. They shouted at the top of their lungs to cheer for their team.

If you can come back from three goals down, that would be a great achievement.

For the Madrid Pirates team, which is at a trough, this reversal victory seems to be a shot in the arm. Maybe with victory in this game, the atmosphere within the team can be changed.

In their cheers, the Madrid Pirates launched a fierce attack on the Catalan United goal. Hu Lai's long shot was saved by Toney Schulman.

Vukovic's follow-up shot missed.

Farias broke away continuously in the penalty area and caused chaos. Unfortunately, his last shot was not powerful due to personal interference from his opponent, and was easily saved by Catalan United goalkeeper Schulman.

Juan Ramirez took a long shot from outside the penalty area and was blocked by Catalan United forward Reynaldo Lima with his body.

Even the team's forwards retreated to the front of the penalty area to defend, which shows how fierce the Madrid Pirates' offensive is.

But from another perspective, this also shows how hard the Catalan United players can work to maintain this goal advantage - even the forwards have turned into defensive players. When a giant team is so united, it is not easy to defeat them.

Once the ball comes to Catalonia United, they are not in a hurry to pass it forward. Instead, they use their excellent passing and running abilities to pass the football back and forth. The Madrid Pirates were not polite to them. When they saw them slipping in the midfield, they rushed up to press them high.

Will this lead to a large number of gaps in the defense behind him? of course.

But the Madrid Pirates players can't control that much.

There is not much time left in the game. If you don't go all out and go out in full force, how can you create a miracle? After Farias moved in, the corridor on the left was opened up for Ion Martinez.

When Joaquin Vela got the ball in midfield, he came in from behind at high speed.

Bella passed the football to him, and he moved the football forward while catching the ball, and then started to accelerate! Kabangka came over and competed with him for speed.

Facing Kabangka, who was not very slow, Ion sprinted for about 20 meters without being able to shake him off. He had to make a pass and then stop and change direction. Kabangka was not easily deceived, but followed the same sudden stop and turned around, continuing to get stuck on the inside of Ion.

After Ion cut in, he used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football outward, changing direction again and continuing to the baseline. Then he no longer dribbled the ball, but picked up his left foot and passed the football towards the goal.

Farias grabbed the lead in front of the goal, and Hulay ran into the middle.

Farias reluctantly hit the ball at the front point, and the ball went directly over the crossbar.

This caused He Feng to shout with both regret and dissatisfaction: "Farias should have missed the ball! He is not good at heading the ball!" Although after Farias missed the ball, Hu Lai scored in Paul Fu's way. Even with Qiong's close pressing defense, he may not be able to score a goal. But He Feng was a little unhappy, feeling that Farias had robbed Hulay of a sure goal scoring opportunity.

like

If Farias hadn't grabbed the header, maybe the Madrid Pirates would have equalized the score... It's normal for He Feng to think so.

Because in front of the goal, Hu Lai has the power to turn decay into magic, and the more the situation is against him and the more it seems that there is no chance, the more he can score goals.

Who dares to say that if Hu Lai replaced this ball, he might not be able to score? Then let Hu Lai play!

When Ion Martinez passed the ball, he spread his hands and made a very dissatisfied gesture - he was looking for nonsense with this ball. Why are you, Farias, joining in the fun? It's obviously not a cross meant for you, so why don't you force it if you insist on it? This time it seems like I didn’t pass the ball well...

***

During this period, the Madrid Pirates' offensive was very fierce, and Catalonia did not fight back. Even when the ball is at their feet, they just pass it back and forth.

There is no rush to pass forward, especially no rush to pass forward.

I have to say that the passing and controlling abilities of the Catalan United players are indeed outstanding.

Although Madrid Pirates also plays this trick, no one is more proficient than Catalonia United. Using skillful passing, Catalan United dragged the game time by minute by second.

Whenever they pass the ball, Pirates fans will boo in the stands. Everyone knows what Catalonia wants to do.

It's nothing more than delaying time.

With a one-goal lead and ten minutes left in the game, we dragged it past and won. There is absolutely no need to take risks at this time.

If Catalonia's opponent is another team, perhaps they will not choose such a conservative approach, and will definitely take advantage of the opponent's opportunity to attack and steal another one.

In fact, with the Madrid Pirates, Reli Vicente thought the same way at first.

As a result, the attack was not successful, but the Madrid Pirates seized the opportunity to counterattack and scored. The key is that the Madrid Pirates have a super efficient shooter Hulay.

If it weren't for Hu Cai, he would definitely not be so cautious...

Now, even if he is ridiculed by the Madrid media after the game that this is not the style of Catalan football, Vicente will still do it.

Nothing is more important than winning.

Leli Vicente raised his head and glanced at the game time on the big screen again. Eighty-fifth minute of the game.

There are five minutes left in injury time. There may be seven or eight minutes of injury time. It adds up to no more than fifteen minutes.

Vicente frowned after calculating the time.

This time is still too generous for the Madrid Pirates who only need to score one goal."

***

Nestor Farias looked around him and saw that they were all Catalan United players. Although Parotti kept him on the pitch and played him as a forward.

But this position is actually not suitable for his own performance, at least Farias himself doesn't like it. He still likes to move on the wing, and not just on the front line, he also likes to drop deep. Because this way there are more opportunities to get the ball and there is enough space for him to dribble.

On the contrary, in the penalty area, he may not even be able to catch the ball. Even if you catch it, it's easy to lose it.

Not free at all.

He is a winger, not a center forward.

He decided not to listen to Parotti's arrangements and to make his position more flexible. For example, he would retreat to midfield to get the ball.

Farias ran out of the penalty area.

Seeing him retreating, the Catalan United players remained motionless and did not follow him. At this time, maintaining the integrity of the team's formation is the top priority in defense. Farias, who retreated to midfield, asked for the ball first.

No teammates passed him the football.

The Madrid Pirates used a strong attack from the center but failed. So I had to pass on football again and look for opportunities.

Seeing the Pirates starting to kick in the midfield again, Farias raised his hand for the ball again. This time the ball was finally passed to his feet.

It was already eighty-nine minutes.

Fourth official present

Side held up the stoppage time sign, and just as Reli Vicente had guessed, it was seven minutes of stoppage time. Plus the last minute of regular game time.

The time left for both parties is these eight minutes.

"There are eight minutes left in the game! Madrid Pirates must score at least one goal in these eight minutes to have any hope of advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League!" "Eight minutes! Just eight more minutes, Catalonia United can eliminate Madrid Pirates. Reached the semi-finals!"

Commentators supporting Madrid Pirates and Catalonia United have completely opposite tones about the same thing.

After Joaquin Vela passed the football to Farias, he ran to widen the angle, then raised his hand to signal Farias to pass the ball back.

After all, Farias is surrounded by Catalan United players, and their young midfielder Javier Barrena is right in front of Farias. Farias stopped the ball and faced Javier Barrena's head-on interception.

At this time, you should pass the football over and look for opportunities again. But Farias didn't do that.

He used the outside instep of his right foot to move the football inward, as if to cut inside. Javier Barrena followed suit and continued to get stuck in front of Farias.

Seeing that the opponent was not getting rid of it so easily, Farias used the heel of his right foot to knock the football back from behind the left foot that was supporting his body. Then turn around and move the football forward.

Barrena quickly turned back and chased after him.

Farias is not very fast, because there is another Catalan United player in front, the team's right back Giovanni Petrick. If Farias really increases his speed and accelerates to cross the ball, it is very likely that the football will be directed to Petrick's feet.

In addition, there is Kabangka on the inside.

Kabangca, Petrik and Barrena formed a three-man defensive formation, trapping Farias on the sideline. If this was a Go duel, then the chess piece Farias had already been eaten.

The most correct thing for Farias to do at this moment is to pass the football.

Joaquín Vela was just outside the three Catalan United players, running behind him while raising his hands and shouting: "Pass it, Farias! Pass the ball!" Farias seemed not to hear him. Still dribbling the ball and running towards Petrick.

When Petrik saw this, he planned to fight Farias here. He took a step forward and stretched out his foot to steal the ball!

Seeing Petrick take the first step, Farias stopped suddenly when he was about to hit the opponent. He made a feint shot with his right foot, passing over the football first, and then before Petrick's foot hit the football. , used the outside instep of his right foot to push the football away a little, and thus shook Petrick away.

Catalan United's right back couldn't stop the car and almost ran off the sideline.

Originally, Barrena was pursuing the car at high speed, but Farias suddenly stopped and changed direction, causing Petrick to lose his balance. Barrena also hurriedly braked, then turned and stabbed the football.

He thought that Farias would not be able to effectively control the ball in a short period of time when dealing with Petrick. Petrick almost slipped off the sideline due to inertia.

Then Farias, who also stopped suddenly, will definitely be affected by inertia.

He was right. He stopped suddenly and shook Petrick away, which indeed made Farias' body unstable. He leaned to the left and his center of gravity was far away from the football. It will be difficult to control the ball again...

But when Barrena raised his foot to step forward, Farias used his right foot to push the football straight out when his body's center of gravity was tilted to the left, and the football went under Barrena's crotch!

At the same time, Farias stumbled out between Barrena and Petrik! The cheers at Pirates Park exploded.

After Farias broke out of the encirclement, he accelerated towards the football. He wants to race with Kabangka!

See who can control the ball first!

In the end, Farias was slightly better. He got the football out before Kabangka. But Kabangka stretched out his foot and kicked the ball in the air, staggering himself, losing his balance, and completely losing his defensive target.

"Farias! Farias! Farias!! Beautiful!! Farias——!!!"

Spanish commentator Alvarez Sanchez kept exclaiming Farias' name louder each time. Just like the cheers from the stands, one wave after another.

At this time, Farias had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area. The one who went up to defend him was Catalonia midfielder Dino Sosa.

Seeing his teammates in the Argentina national team, Farias first made a move to accelerate the diagonal dribbling of the ball down the bottom. After deceiving Sosa's center of gravity to shift to the baseline, he then used the outside instep of his right foot to lightly touch the football. Gently move to the inside...

Sosa rushed through.

While Farias and Sosa were one-on-one, Hulay crossed forward and made a gesture for the ball.

Farias still didn't pass the ball. Instead, he took advantage of Hulay's advance to take away center back Paul Fortune and another center back Miguel Diaz, and cut inward laterally!

At this time, even if Sosa, who had been passed by, wanted to chase back, he was already blocked by two of his teammates and Hu Lai. He could only watch as Farias shook off all defenses, faced goalkeeper Toney Schulman, raised his right foot and shot! The football flew close to the turf towards the near corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Schulman originally guessed that he would hit the far corner. Faced with such a shot, he was not well prepared and temporarily changed his body center of gravity to pounce back, but he still missed a little... The football passed in front of his fingertips and hit the net!
