Fox in the Penalty Area

Iceberg Half 18

Under the strong request of the Catalan United players, the referee still did not go to the sidelines to watch the VAR replay.

Because of such a simple offside situation, there is no need to look at VAR.

If Hu Lai is really offside, the video referee team will definitely remind him.

But since Hulay scored, the video referee team told him firmly in his headset:

"There is no problem with this ball, the goal is valid!"

Judging from the replay of the TV broadcast, there is indeed no problem.

Although Paul Fortune really pressed for offside, Joel Jimenez's action was half a beat slow.

So when Di Kunzo passed the ball, Hulay and Jimenez were almost on the same line, but his arm crossed the line.

Because he made a gesture to ask Dikunzo to pass the ball directly in front of him and not to pass the ball under his feet.

However, the arm below the shoulder is not considered an effective part of the ball, so even if this part is offside, it cannot be considered offside.

"This is the victory of high pressure!" When the referee once again confirmed that the goal was valid and insisted on his own penalty, He Feng could finally cheer boldly and confidently. "Parotti's bold risk paid off! Only thirteen minutes into the game, Madrid Pirates took a one-goal lead!"

Yan Kang also analyzed: "Before the game, many people had doubts about Parotti's insistence on Di Kunzo starting in this game, because Di Kunzo's performance in the semi-finals was not good. Now everyone knows why, because Di Kunzo He has excellent running ability and a certain speed. When the team needs to implement high-pressure tactics, he who can run is indeed more suitable to start than the high center Ruiz who cannot run fast. And this assist is Di Kunzo's match against Pablo The best reward for Roddy’s trust!”

Juan Ramirez in the stands and his Pirates teammates who were not able to make the roster for the game were also cheering and constantly waving their fists to their teammates off the field to cheer them on.

In this game, as the captain, he cannot go on the court to fight for the team, so he must go all out to cheer for the team on the sidelines.

When Hulay celebrated, he and his teammates, like the fans, all gave out the same shout.

Then they hugged each other happily and shouted at the same time.

He kept repeating fixed phrases like "What's Up! New Bee".

While the Madrid Pirates players were cheering on and off the field, Catalan United head coach Reilly Vicente was yelling at the players on the sidelines, telling them to stay calm and calm and not to mess up their position.

Rosas, the Catalan United captain on the field, also clapped his hands to remind his teammates.

Although this goal was due to his ball control error.

But a qualified captain will not be ruined because of his own mistakes at this time.

※※※

Amid the commotion, players from both sides returned to their positions.

The referee blew his whistle and the game started again.

This time, the Madrid Pirates players still actively pressed forward after Catalonia kicked off, performing high pressure and encirclement.

"The Madrid Pirates are not satisfied with only leading by one goal! They are still actively pressing, hoping to score again as soon as possible! The Catalan United must be careful. In terms of the explosive power of scoring goals in a short period of time, the Madrid Pirates can indeed be said to be the best in Europe. Yes!" The Catalan TV commentator reminded the players on the court loudly in the commentary box.

In fact, when he said this here, neither the players on the field nor the coaches on the sidelines could hear him.

So he doesn't know whether Catalonia United can take it seriously.

But at least judging from the performance of Catalan United after the restart, they did have some concerns - this time Catalan United midfielder Van der Stern faced the pinch of Hulay and Di Kunzo. When he was on guard, he kicked the football towards the frontcourt with a big kick.

Such an approach is extremely rare for Catalonia United.

Players doing this can only show that they are really afraid of being scored by the Madrid Pirates just after the kickoff...

However, there is no accuracy in such long passes.

In particular, Catalan United's starting strikers basically have no height to speak of - Mario Salado is 1.75 meters tall, Renado Lima is 1.78 meters tall, and Kabangka is 1.83 meters tall. He is the tallest of the three forwards, but he is either on the wing or in the midfield, and does not participate much in header battles.

Besides, his header isn't very good either. For Kabangka, who has extremely good foot skills, he will never use his head if he can handle the ball with his feet.

In fact, there is actually a high center forward sitting on the bench of Catalonia United - Swedish international player Emund Pettersson who is 1.89 meters tall.

However, after Lima moved to Catalonia and quickly showed excellent scoring ability, Pettersson was pushed to the bench.

There are rumors that Pettersson will consider leaving the team after this season.

Obviously, there is no room for the Swedish high center forward in the tactics of new head coach Reilly Vicente.

The current Catalan United has no height in the frontcourt, and this kind of long pass basically gives up possession of the ball.

Sure enough, Vanderstern's long pass was pushed back by the rushing Danny Drew.

Under Parotti's high-pressing tactics, the central defender's position is also very high. The more flexible and faster Danny Drew can make up for their defensive deficiencies in the midfielder position to a certain extent. .

Although Drew's header was finally won by the Catalan United players.

But Rosas, who took the ball, was immediately surrounded by Madrid Pirates players.

This time he didn't hesitate and quickly passed the ball to his midfield partner Victor Campuzano not far away.

Of course, Campuzano also faced pressure from Madrid Pirates players.

However, the speed of passing between Catalan United players has obviously accelerated.

So I still managed to throw the football out.

And formed the final shot.

"Lima!"

With the Catalan commentator shouting excitedly, Renado Lima took a shot after receiving Salado's pass in the penalty area!

However, his shot was interfered by Pirates center back Riva Moreno and went high, without even allowing Hywell to make a save.

※※※

Going around in circles, five minutes have passed since the Madrid Pirates scored.

In these five minutes, although the two sides were very stalemate, Catalonia's goal was not lost again.

The Catalan commentator in the commentary box breathed a sigh of relief.

The team withstood the first five minutes, and then the second five minutes, and then they were able to bring the rhythm of the game back to Catalonia's familiar rhythm.

When passing the football, don't think about the offense first. Pass the football smoothly first and mobilize the Madrid Pirates players to work hard.

I don't believe they can keep running like this without any holes in the defense behind them?

When there is a loophole, suddenly accelerate forward and pass the ball, a fatal blow!

At this moment, the Madrid Pirates, who are in possession of the ball on the field, are also passing the ball quickly.

Joaquin Vela passes the ball to Vukovic.

Rosas also came up to press Vukovic.

Vukovich quickly moved the football out again. Directly assigned to the left wing.

Tonini received the ball on the wing, and Catalan United's right back Osqui also quickly rushed to attack him.

Isn't it just pressing, Madrid Pirates can do it, and we Catalan United can do it too!

Facing Osqui's tackle, Tonini pushed the ball behind him with his heel.

Ion, the left back of the Madrid Pirates, came in from behind him at high speed. Although Kabangka chased after him, he was slightly blocked by Tonini and Osqui and had to go around.

With this delay, Kabangka could only watch helplessly as Ion caught up with the football and passed directly in!

Hu Lai in the penalty area moved forward, got stuck in position, and took off to head the ball!

He headed the ball ahead of Paul Fortune.

However, due to Fortune's personal interference, his header was slightly on target this time.

Was saved by Catalan United goalkeeper Toney Schulman!

But he didn't save directly from the bottom line, but went to the middle of the goal!

There, Joel Jimenez was wrestling with Camara for position. The two fell down while entangled, and at the same time, Camara's foot scooped the football!

The football hits the net!

The ball went in again!

"Kamara!! Oh my god! Six minutes after Madrid Pirates scored, they scored again! 2:0! Madrid Pirates leads Catalonia United by two goals! Who would have thought of this?! It's not even started yet! In twenty minutes, Madrid Pirates already led by two goals!”

"Beautiful! Kamara! Beautiful!! He who always moves on the wing appeared in the middle this time and actually played the role of Hu Lai! A smart and decisive follow-up shot!"

"No...no! Catalonia lost the ball again! This ball...oh!"

The commentators shouted loudly, although there was no need to say who they were, just by listening to what they said, everyone could easily guess their identities.

Half of the Iron Dome was boiling like a volcano again, while the other half was as cold as an iceberg.

After the goal, Kamara ran towards Hulay, who retreated towards the corner flag area and opened his arms to him, waiting for him to hug.

Both of them had big smiles on their faces.
