Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1873 The red-eyed gambler

Kuhn didn't let anyone notice his nervousness.

As a head coach, he has to remain calm at all times, otherwise how can he make his players believe what he says?

In fact, he didn't know whether his plan would definitely succeed.

After all, there is an element of luck in football matches.

If you perform well, you may not necessarily be the victor.

He did everything he could, and God did the rest.

Kuhn silently prayed to God in his heart.

At this time, he was no longer a head coach, but seemed to have become a gambler standing at the gambling table, waiting with red eyes for the croupier to open the dice cup.

The Madrid Pirates' attack continues, and Ruhrlein's pressing continues.

Hu Lai once again went to the meeting alone, but this time he was offside and his trip was in vain.

With his back to the goal on the edge of the penalty area, Edman used his chest to pass the ball passed by his teammate back to John Sett, who stepped in and shot directly from a long distance!

The ball speed is not fast, but the angle is very tricky.

Hewel flew sideways and blocked the football, but failed to catch it directly.

Fortunately, his second reaction was quick enough, and he immediately stood up again and put the football under his body.

As soon as he did this, Ruhrlein's left midfielder Elmer van Ooyen rushed to him.

If his second reaction was slower, the ball might have been tipped into the goal by Van Ooyen...

"Madrid Pirates are still attacking fiercely, which makes their defense frequently tight, but Parotti does not let the team slow down, because he knows very well that this is a gamble, either win or lose, or score or lose. Ball, no other option..."

※※※

In the 34th minute, when the Madrid Pirates were advancing forward, they were frantically pressed by Ruhrlein.

Upon seeing this, Di Kunzo retreated from the front to the midfield to respond.

He needs to frequently drop back to get the ball and then deliver the football up.

This was Parotti's on-the-spot adjustment to Ruhrlein's high press.

However, in response to this, Ruerrhein's head coach Leroy Kuhn also made his own on-the-spot adjustments.

When Di Kunzo dropped back for the ball, he was marked by Ruerrhein's defensive midfielder Herbert Petrov.

This was what Kuhn had specifically found to send a message to Petrov.

Tell him that Di Kunzo only needs to stick up like this when he is retreating.

If it's Hu Lai, then don't worry about it and keep your position.

Because Hulay will pass the football quickly after getting the ball. If Petrov grabs the ball, he will easily lose his position, allowing the Madrid Pirates to hit the ball into the open space.

Di Kunzo, an Italian forward, is particularly confident in his skills with his feet, so when he receives the ball, he will take it no matter what and try to dribble the ball forward himself.

At this time, if Petrov can catch the ball in time, he will have a high chance of intercepting the ball.

For example, this time...

After Joaquin Vela passed the football to Dikunzo, Petrov rushed forward and before Dikunzo could react, he went around and intercepted the ball successfully!

After intercepting the ball, Petrov first made a gesture to pass the ball to the center, and then suddenly accelerated and dribbled the ball forward in a straight line.

After attracting Vukovic, he suddenly sent a diagonal pass to the middle of more than 20 meters!

Due to Petrov's sudden advance with the ball, the defensive focus of the Madrid Pirates was attracted, and there was a huge gap in the middle behind them!

The Madrid Pirates, who have been attacking forward, are actually riddled with holes in the midfield and backfield...

John Settle sprinted to catch up with the football. Then, without any defense, he dribbled the ball towards the Madrid Pirates' penalty area!

"Opportunity in the Ruerrhein!"

The Madrid Pirates players rushed back to defend, but it was too late. There was no protection in front of the back line. Set took the ball directly to face the two central defenders Danny Drew and Riva Moreno.

Edman was also rushing forward, so that neither of the two central defenders dared to step forward to block Seth, allowing Seth to dribble the ball close to the top of the penalty arc.

So left back Brynjolfsson had to give up his rib defense and come to the center to defend John Sett.

But as soon as he came up, the Norwegian midfielder divided the football and passed it to the right midfielder Litmueller who was advancing at high speed.

Brynjolfsson had to turn back and pounce on Litmuller again.

The latter kept passing the football across the ball!

Brynjolfsson couldn't catch the ball.

He didn't even have time to stretch out his foot to destroy the cross...

He could only watch helplessly as the football rolled toward the center. The opponent's powerful center Edman used his body to hold Drew up and shot with a shovel!

With the pass from John Sett, Haywell, who had moved to the front point, turned over and pounced back, but it was too late...

Edman and Drew both fell in front of the goal, but the football had already rolled into the goal!

"TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!!! Edman! Janus Edman!! Ruhrlein scored!! The total score is 3:1! They regained the two-goal lead!" the German commentator excitedly said from The commentator stood up, waved his arms vigorously, and shouted excitedly. "Hu is in great shape today, but Edman is in great shape too!"

At this moment, the Pirates Park stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, fell into dead silence for an instant.

Kuhn finally freed himself from the tension. He ran onto the court and celebrated with a kneel down!

It's like a gambler who bets his entire fortune and sees that he has won.

Then he was thrown to the ground by assistant coach Ruiden who rushed up: "We succeeded!"

Behind them, the coaching bench and bench in Ruerrhein were like a riot - it wasn't just head coach Kuhn who was feeling nervous!

The substitutes rushed to the corner flag area, and Edman, who scored the goal, and his teammates on the field also ran there.

The two sides met in the open space in front of the corner flag area, hugged each other, and celebrated the goal.

"Alas!" Sanchez sighed.

"Without Ramirez, the impact on the team's defense will still be great... Once the ball is lost in the midfield and frontcourt, there will be no way to protect the back line... In fact, Parotti chose a very risky path. , of course, there is only one way he can go...The Pirates were attacking like crazy and the defense was full of loopholes, but they were able to persist until the 34th minute before conceding a goal. The performance was actually beyond reproach..."

The television broadcast took time out to give Madrid Pirates coach Parotti a close-up shot.

He stood on the sidelines with a solemn expression, without any body language, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at this moment.

Then the TV broadcast was given to the box in the stands.

That was Pirates captain Juan Ramirez, and left back Ion Martinez, who was unable to play due to a red card suspension.

Both of them looked equally unhappy.

"Ramirez, who was unable to play in this game due to injury, and Ion, who was suspended due to a red card, also came to the scene to cheer for their teammates. But this is definitely not what they want to see...these two generals are missing. , It has a great impact on the pirates' strength... Whether it is defense or offense, it has a great impact..." He Feng shook his head in the studio.

Yan Kang analyzed: "It's not just that. Ruhrlein's unexpected tactical choice in this game is also a key factor. Especially after Hulay scored, he still insisted on not changing his style of play. This is actually very difficult. It was a risk, because it was entirely possible that his team would be completely defeated by the Madrid Pirates by scoring two goals in a row. But he still persisted, just to bet that Ruhrlein could score away from home... It must be said that Kuhn was very bold, but he The bet paid off! Now that Ruerrhein has regained the two-goal lead, there is less and less game time left for the Madrid Pirates..."

When he said this, the TV broadcast cut to Leroy Kuhn, the head coach of Ruerrhein.

He finished kneeling and celebrating on the court and returned to the coach's bench. He ignored the assistant coach's crumpled suit and messed up his hair and waved his fist in the air.

The huge pressure has been thrown away by him. As a gambler, he studded and won the bet!

Nothing could make him more proud than now.

Although the game is not over yet, he saw the effect of his tactics from this goal and strengthened his confidence. If he continues to play like this, the final winner will definitely belong to his Ruhr Rhein!

In the Champions League group stage two years ago, he led his team to be beaten hard by Madrid Pirates at this stadium. Among them, Hulay scored the best goal in the world by FIFA that year - an upside-down kick more than 30 meters away from the goal. Golden hook!

Ruerrhein's goalkeeper Simon Koenigs was ridiculed as the background of the world wave for a long time after that.

Just like their own goalkeeper, the entire Ruhrlein team could only act as a supporting role and foil in front of the Madrid Pirates.

Now, he vows to make the Pirates feel despair at their home court!

You can score goals, and so can we!

Just keep fighting like this and see who gives in first!

PS, Qidian launched a World Cup prediction activity during the World Cup. I was very fortunate to serve as Qidian's "scout" and made my own predictions for the game.

As long as you log in, you will have a certain amount of gambling capital, and everyone is welcome to participate.

Of course, our own competition tradition will continue.

After all, I don’t participate in every competition at Qidian.

Tomorrow morning is the opening match of the World Cup.

Between Qatar and Ecuador, according to my analysis and prediction, Qatar is still more dominant.

On the one hand, they are playing at home, on the other hand, they have naturalized many capable players, and thirdly, everyone knows the "excellent tradition" of West Asian football. So I think the Qataris will beat Ecuador by two goals at home, maybe there will be a penalty kick in the game...

As for whether I can get off to a good start in this World Cup, everyone will wait and see at midnight tomorrow!
