Fox in the Penalty Area

18th time to go to Munich

"Catal United was tied with Saria in the league, losing first place in the league, and may even lose the league championship. This is not good news for us."

Tramed head coach Kevin Locke told his players sitting in the media room after Monday's practice.

"Because they may bet all their bets on the Champions League, which will increase the pressure on us to make a comeback at home. But at the same time, it is not all bad news for us. With Sarria's strength, they We can draw with Catalonia United on the road, so why can't we beat them at home? So now I show you the video clips of this game. I hope everyone can gain courage and confidence from this game."

Tramed's players were a little stunned when they heard the head coach say this.

Watch the video of the match between Sarria and Catalonia?

As for that?

What is Sarria?

He is a nobody in the entire European football world, how can he compete with us in Tramed?

Of course Locke saw the disdain and confusion in the eyes of some players, but he did not explain any more and directly clicked the play button.

Soon the game between Catalonia United and Saria appeared on the large projection screen in the multimedia room.

And the first close-up shot is of Sarria’s No. 10 playmaker Zhang Qinghuan.

Luo Kai looked up at Brother Huan who appeared in the close-up shot, and a certain subtle emotion emerged in his heart - I really didn't expect that the powerful Tramed would have a day to collectively learn from a Chinese player...

In fact, Luo Kai did not watch the live broadcast of this game, but after he heard that Saria drew with Catalonia in an away game, helping Madrid Pirates regain the top spot in the league, he immediately went to watch the game highlights.

So he knows roughly how the game goes.

However, the highlights that coach Lock showed them were different from the highlights he saw.

What he watched was an ordinary highlight, which basically cut together the exciting offensive and defensive scenes of the two teams. The four goals were the highlight of the highlight, and each goal was played several times from different perspectives.

However, the goals that Lock showed them in the highlights were simply ignored. The focus was on the final stage of the game, especially the various physical battles between Saria and Catalonia after Zhang Qinghuan scored.

After watching all the highlights, Kevin Locke turned on the indoor lights and said to the players:

"I hope you can learn from the Saria players in this game and learn from their fighting spirit. Did you see it? At the end of the game, the Saria players fought with their lives, so they were able to compete with the huge difference in strength. They fought for a draw under the circumstances. They did everything they could in the game. And we will do the same in tomorrow's game.

Only in this way can we reverse Catalonia United at home! If you can't do what Sarria did, don't even think about going to Munich! "

The venue for this season's Champions League final is the blue and white Munich home stadium Iron Dome in Munich.

"Navigator lost 1:4 against Real Huelva at home. So Saria worked so hard to draw us, but ended up falling to 17th place. What's the point... I suspect it was before the game. What kind of benefits did Hu promise to Zhang to make him work so hard when kicking us..."

On the plane from Barcelona to Manchester, Reynaldo Lima was still brooding over the draw with Sarria.

This is indeed difficult to figure out - because the game between Saria and Catalonia was the last game of the league round, so before this game, all the games of Saria's main relegation opponents were over.

Getafe 132 Atlético tied 1:1. The rankings of the two teams have not changed, and both teams are still in the relegation zone.

Real Huelva, Saria's direct relegation rival, defeated Sevilla Navigator 4:1 away from home in this round of the league, which was an upset.

You must know that Sevilla Navigator defeated Saria 1:0 away from home in the last round of the league. They are competing for the top six in the league.

As a result, they lost 1:4 at home to Real Huelva, who was ranked 17th in the league. It was just like a joke.

Real Huelva's victory also means that unless Saria defeats Catalonia United away from home, their league ranking will definitely drop.

But at the same time, Getafe's 132 draw means that Saria will not fall into the relegation zone even if it loses to Catalonia in an away game.

In other words, the result of the game between Saria and Catalonia will not have much impact on Saria's relegation.

"But this is the 'Barcelona Derby' and cannot be considered in terms of regular games." Cabangka, who was sitting next to Lima, told him.

"Don't think about the game that has ended. This time we go to Manchester. There is only one thing we have to do, and that is to reach the Champions League final. The ultimate goal is to win the Champions League. Only in this way can we make up for what we lost."

When Roquet received the ball on the right side of the midfield, Catalan United midfielder Victor Campuzano rushed towards him.

While Luo Kai adjusted his football, he also stabilized his footing and faced Campusano's collision head-on.

The collision ended with the football still at his feet.

At the same time, he pushed the football forward and accelerated... towards the middle!

Instead of dribbling the ball along the sideline, he cut inside diagonally into the middle!

This caught the Catalan United defensive players off guard. Catalan United midfielder Van der Stern, who was originally going to block him from the wing, could only turn around and fight back.

But with his own turning speed, how could he possibly match Luo Kai's straight-line sprint speed?

He just turned around, and Luo Kai had already passed him with the ball!

After Luo Kai broke through Van der Stern, he continued to rush forward with the ball, very resolute and decisive, his speed did not slow down, and he looked like he was going to completely penetrate the Catalan defense line from the center.

"Luo Kai! Breakthrough in the middle! Beautiful!" He Feng was cheering for him and cheering him on.

The Catalan United defensive players moved closer to him, trying to stifle his breakthrough from the center directly outside the penalty arc.

The one who pounced was Catalan United center back Paul Fortune.

Just when the opponent was about to hit him, Luo Kai suddenly stabbed the football to his left rib.

Then he collided with Fortune and killed another Catalan defender.

The person who received the pass from Luo Kai was Ricardo Barea. He did not stop the ball, but directly passed the football out. The direction of the pass was the space behind Paul Fortune who failed to grab Luo Kai. !

There, it was Tramed captain Connor Kirk who was running forward!

Due to Luo Kai's involvement in the breakthrough, no Catalan United players noticed Kirk's forward penetration. He rushed from the midfielder position into the Catalan United penalty area in one breath!

And Barea did not greed for credit. He chose to pass the football to the captain with the best position.

I saw Kirk looking at the rolling football, adjusting his pace, getting into a posture, and directly pushing up his right leg to volley!

The football flies towards the far upper corner of the goal!

Catalan United goalkeeper Toney Schulman failed to save!

"Kirk!! Beautiful goal! Beautiful cooperation! Tramed pulled a goal back in the 22nd minute! 1:0! The total score is only one goal behind!" England in the live commentary box Commentator Matthew Cox cheered excitedly.

Tramed is the only youngster of the English team in the semi-finals. He certainly hopes that the English team can reach the Champions League final.

Deafening cheers erupted from the red-topped stadium.

After scoring the goal, Kirk signaled the forward Pap Bonnet who was closest to the ball to pick up the football. He did not celebrate himself, but turned around and ran back, and gestured to his teammates who came up to celebrate. They pay attention to time.

The goal was scored more than 20 minutes after the opening, which was already too late.

The time left for Tramed is definitely not ample.

Luo Kai also got up from the ground. When Kirk passed by him, he reached out to him and gave him a high-five.

"Well done."

He said to Luo Kai.

Although this goal was assisted by Ricardo Barea, the initiator of the attack was Luo Kai.

The reason why this offensive opportunity appeared was because Luo Kai suddenly cut diagonally into the middle and then rushed in with the ball.

It can be said that without Luo Kai, this goal would not have been possible.

He is an indispensable behind-the-scenes hero.

The captain did not hesitate to give his praise, and Ricardo Barea, who assisted, enthusiastically hugged his good friend's shoulders and ran side by side to the center circle. Behind them, Bonnet hugged Football follows.

This scene made many Tramed fans seem to see the future of the team united to reverse the opponent and create the "Red Room Miracle"...

But thirteen minutes after Tramed scored, Kabangka sent a through ball from the front of Tramed's penalty area. Renaldo Lima scored with a low shot to bring the score back.

It was the Catalan commentator's turn to cheer: "Lima! GOOOOOOOOOOOL!! He scored his first Champions League goal after moving to Catalonia! This goal is crucial! Against Tra's crazy counterattack Med is a head-on blow!"

The Catalan United players celebrated wildly in the corner flag area of ​​the red-top stadium, and the fans in the stands were booed and given the middle finger.

Connor Kirk slapped his team hard and encouraged them to cheer up.

The hearts of many Tramed fans sank again...
