Fox in the Penalty Area

In fact, Parotti overlooked one thing. When his players saw Kyrie following them back to the locker room, they all thought that he would replace Kyrie at halftime. So how could the opponent's head coach Roy Wei not do it? Do you know?

Royvi didn't see it, but someone on the Madrid Kings coaching staff saw Kyrie follow the Pirates players into the locker room.

Then he told Roy Wei about the situation during halftime.

The Kings head coach deduced that Parotti would replace Kyrie at halftime...

Since Kyrie is to be replaced, it is naturally impossible to follow the tactics of the first half.

He further analyzed the technical characteristics of Carey. Royvi believes that after replacing Carey, Parotti should adopt a more proactive style of play, at least not continue to put a bus in front of the goal.

This is a good thing for the king.

Because if the Pirates stay in their penalty area and don't come out, it will be much more difficult for the Kings to score goals.

Since the pirates want to take the initiative to attack, they can be caught off guard.

So he asked the team to launch the most violent offensive at the beginning of the second half to greet their rivals in the same city.

In the five minutes before Vandenberg's goal, the Kings had been bombarding the Pirates' penalty area.

Merry is also very active and creates murderous intentions.

That's why the Madrid Pirates focused their defense firmly on Melly.

Under such circumstances, the king suddenly changed the direction of attack, catching the pirates off guard.

When passing the ball, he deliberately looks for the area Bedia is defending and lets Vandenberg attack Bedia.

Sure enough, Bedia made a mistake and did not notice Vandenberg's position.

The goal came naturally.

After Vandenberg scored, Royvi hugged his coaching staff and cheered in celebration.

Except for them, the Kings players on the bench and the Kings fans in the stands were all cheering and roaring desperately.

They know very well that there is still plenty of game time,

The Madrid Kings, who had equalized the score, only needed one goal to qualify for the final!

Let's take advantage of this momentum to completely defeat our mortal enemy in the same city!

Looking at the Kings players celebrating the goal crazily, Pirates assistant coach Valentine murmured to himself: "Well, anyway, even if we don't replace Kyrie at halftime, we will replace him immediately after losing the ball." of……"

It seemed like he was comforting himself, and also like he was comforting Parotti next to him.

When Parotti heard this, he turned to look at Valentin who said this, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Jesus, have you ever thought... Royvi may have seen that we decided to replace Kyrie, Why did the Kings launch an unreserved attack in the second half?"

Valentine shrugged: "If we don't replace Kyrie at halftime, won't they score a goal? I don't think that's possible. We are indeed more proactive, but the second half has just started and we haven't scored yet." Being able to attack in time...has nothing to do with our adjustments. But our defense will indeed face greater pressure next than in the first half."

Parotti looked at the somewhat confused Madrid Pirates players on the court and fell into silence for a while.

It stands to reason that after the Madrid King scores a goal, their offensive will be even more intense. In this case, it is best for the Pirates to recycle their defense and withstand the attack of the King of Madrid first.

But in this case, Kyrie's presence on the court is of little significance.

And like Valentin said, if we shrink our defense, won't they score goals?

Rather than passively defending, it is better to continue to adhere to the adjustment strategy during the halftime break.

Attack more proactively.

Use the space left behind after the Madrid King's attack to threaten the opponent's goal.

Moreover, the Kings, who have already equalized the total score, should now be more afraid of conceding the ball. They also know very well how much of a blow to morale it is to be pulled back by the opponent after scoring a goal.

Therefore, as long as the Madrid Pirates can show a fighting spirit with the opponent, the King will take the initiative to slow down the pace and reduce the intensity of the attack.

This is the so-called "offense is the best defense".

After making the decision, Parotti walked to the sidelines and made simple arrangements for his players with gestures, telling them not to panic and to continue playing according to the halftime adjustments.

With Carey as the center of the frontcourt attack, he insisted on pressing high, forcing the Kings to take the initiative to take it back.

What if the king doesn't take it back?

If you don’t take it back, score their goal!

Madrid Pirates captain Juan Ramirez also kept reminding everyone on the court: "This is the Champions League, this is the semi-finals, guys! No minute is easy! Anything can happen! Let us cheer up, Fight them off again!”

After the game restarted, taking advantage of the kick-off opportunity, the Madrid Pirates advanced their attack within the 30-meter area of ​​the Madrid Kings.

Carey deceived Osei with an upper-body feint with his back to goal, but he was knocked to the ground by Albin Estrom as he tried to keep possession.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded Estrom a foul, and then awarded the Pirates a free kick about 33 meters away from the goal and slightly to the left.

Toni and Carey both stood behind the football.

Toni covered his mouth and said to Carey: "Maxi, come on, I'll cover you."

Kaili didn't speak, just nodded.

Amidst the boos, the referee's whistle became unclear.

Tonini, who was responsible for the feint attack, ran up. When he ran to the football, he suddenly changed to the side.

Then Kyrie took two steps behind him and then took a shot!

The football successfully bypassed the wall but went over the crossbar...

This attack by the Madrid Pirates did not result in a goal.

However, they did not retreat to their own half after the attack.

When the Kings were about to take the goal kick, they found that the Pirates were pressing them high.

Bucker drove the football forward with a big kick. Although Moreno was not as tall as Vandenberg, he chose his position more accurately, and he rushed towards the ball, while Vandenberg headed the ball backwards. Moreno had the advantage.

He pushed the football back.

Ramirez won the battle with Dudu Carlos for the second spot. After grabbing the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Carey who was retreating.

Carey did not stop the ball. When being pressed closely by Osei and unable to turn around, Carey used the outside instep of his left foot to rub the football toward Dikunzo who was diagonally behind him.

Dikunzo took advantage of Carey's opportunity to pull Osay out, diagonally inserted in, received the ball and rushed straight into the space behind Osay.

At the same time, Hulay stretched horizontally, restrained the Kings' center back Peralta, pinned the Madrid Kings' back line in front, and created space for Di Kunzo to control the ball.

Dikunzo continued to dribble the ball and approached the Kings penalty area.

Sequeiros stepped forward to block him, and he pushed the football diagonally into the space left by Sequeiros.

There, Joaquin Vela is inserted from the back!

"Dikunzo diagonal plug! Beautiful! Bella!!"

Joaquin Vela, who caught up with the ball, shot with a flick of his foot, and the ball rolled behind him.

Goalkeeper Bakker fell to the ground and dived sideways, but failed to touch the ball!

At that moment, the hearts of countless Kings fans were in their throats!

It wasn't until they saw the football flying out of the bottom line that they heaved a sigh of relief:

"call"

"Oops!" He Feng was very regretful, "Bella missed the kick! If Hu Lai had replaced the ball, he might have scored!"

"There is no way, Peralta is almost inseparable from Hu Lai. He rarely gets such opportunities..." Yan Kang said next to him.

Although the offense did not score, Parotti on the sidelines applauded the team's performance.

Regardless of the result, just look at the process of this attack. The Pirates players on the field did play the same offensive routine they usually train.

The most important thing is..."smooth".

With the addition of Carey, the Pirates' frontcourt offense is much smoother than before.

He just suddenly retreated to a place close to the midline, and then without stopping the ball, he rubbed the ball directly behind him. It was a "magic touch" to Di Kunzo. It can be said to be the most critical kick of this Madrid Pirates attack.

Even Valentine, who firmly believes that the club should complete the replacement as soon as possible, must admit that if Kyrie can stay healthy and control his emotions, he will still be the world's top player.

It is indeed difficult for the club to give up such a top player.

After the Madrid Pirates used a high post to launch a threatening attack, the Madrid King soon responded in kind.

Melly took the ball from the right wing and first hit the wall with center Vandenberg in the penalty area. Vandenberg, with his back to the goal, passed the ball from Melly and then passed it out.

Melly did not catch the ball, but directly used the toes of his left foot to poke the football sideways to Dudu Carlos who was beside him, and then he cut diagonally into the penalty area.

Dudu Carlos passed the ball forward without stopping and passed it to Mellie.

The Argentine genius first swung his left foot to try to shoot, but Bedia was deceived and blocked it with a shovel. He then used the instep of his left foot to gently push the football away, thus successfully knocking Bedia down and pulling him away laterally. Angle, then kick and shoot.

However, after continuous dribbling, Melli consumed a lot of physical energy. At this time, it was difficult for his body to maintain balance, so the ball he shot was a little weak.

Hewel blocked the bottom line with his foot...

After completing the shot, Melli also lost all his center of gravity and balance and fell to the ground. But he didn't just collapse to the ground and couldn't get up. Instead, he rolled backwards and stood up directly from the ground with his hands on the turf.

After getting up, he saw the football being saved from the bottom line by Hywell. He waved his fist in annoyance, then looked up to the sky and sighed.

Behind him, captain Cerrados clapped his hands and gave him a thumbs up: "Well done, Melly! Just play like this, they will collapse sooner or later!"

Merry turned back to the captain and nodded vigorously.

The singing and shouting of fans from both sides in the Crown Stadium were intertwined, as if the temperature in the stadium had risen by two degrees.

Being in such an environment, everyone's heart is racing and it feels like the blood all over their body is boiling...

This is the Champions League semi-final that determines who goes to the final!
