The Celtics head coach in front of the other coaching bench angrily kicked away the mineral water bottle in front of him.

Celtic's Japanese player Nakamura Shunsuke stared at the yellow-skinned guy wearing Benfica's red 10 jersey with his hands on his hips and a look of confusion. He did not expect that this guy would score a goal so quickly.

The goal just now was a typical English goal, a long pass and a lob goal.

Benfica midfielder Petit launched a counterattack with a long pass from the backcourt. High center Nuno Gomez beat McManus with a header and then hit it. Qiu Ze accelerated to get rid of Celtic center defender Balde and successfully countered offside. Then he faced

The Celtic players were very unhappy. Originally, they came here today to win a victory. In their opinion, there was a big gap between Benfica and them. In the last game, they were able to defeat Benfica 3-0.

, they will be able to defeat Benfica with a larger score in this game, and it is an established fact that they will qualify from the group.

However, as soon as the game started, they conceded the goal, which was really a failure. The Celtic players could not accept this result, and they immediately launched a fierce attack, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible.

The Celtics' style of play is still largely the traditional British style of play, with long passes from the backcourt directly looking for the high point in front, and then the people around the high point fighting for the second placement.

And now they have a very good passer, Shunsuke Nakamura is a good passing point. After seeing Qiu Ze score so quickly, Shunsuke Nakamura obviously accelerated the speed of the ball, frequently

Deliver good shots.

It's just that the Celtic forwards were not very fast and missed some good opportunities. During this period, the Celtics still had many opportunities. The football quickly came to Shunsuke Nakamura's feet, and this time Shunsuke Nakamura did not

Instead of passing the ball directly, he quickly took the football and dunked it past Benfica's midfielder, then quickly dribbled the ball forward and rushed towards Benfica's penalty area.

Benfica's Petit immediately rushed forward, blocking Shunsuke Nakamura from moving forward. When Shunsuke Nakamura saw Petit rushing out, he immediately moved the football to the wing. Snow on the wing did not stop the ball and directly tilted the ball 45

Pass the football into the penalty area.

Caspian Sealink jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal. The ball flew quickly towards Benfica's goal, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar. The Celtics were filled with regret.

Being suppressed by the Celtics during this period, Qiu Ze in the middle has stepped up his efforts to take the ball and control the ball more at his feet to relieve the pressure on Benfica's defense. Of course, the Celtics will not let

Qiu Ze got his wish. When Qiu Ze dribbled the ball into the Celtic half, Shunsuke Nakamura rushed up and hooked Qiu Ze to the ground.

Foul! Benfica won a direct free kick, which was about 35 meters away from the goal.

Getting up from the ground, Qiu Ze immediately took the football from the referee's hand, and then leaned down to play with the football in the Baixia area. Seeing this, Ximang stopped coming up and handed the ball to Qiu Ze to serve in charge.

"This free kick is far away from the goal, almost 35 meters away, and the position is a bit left. It is not suitable for direct shooting. Chris is more likely to pass the ball!" The commentator of Eurosports saw Qiu Ze taking the ball.

, he said immediately.

As if to answer the commentator's words, several big men from Benfica came to the Celtics' penalty area, preparing to compete for headers!

Celtic goalkeeper Borusch understood that the Benfica No. 10 player in front of him did not seem to be good at attacking the goal directly from free kicks, so he also thought that Qiu Ze would choose to pass the ball.

Borusch just asked his teammates to form a wall of three people, and the other players returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense of the high-altitude ball. Now that they were one goal behind, they did not want to lose another goal so quickly, so they stepped up

He had to defend and not give Benfica a chance.

After everything was arranged, Qiu Ze stepped back a certain distance, then glanced at the situation in the penalty area before starting his run-up!

His move also confirmed Borushga's judgment in front of the goal. He was ready to attack at any time. When the Celtics wall saw Qiu Ze's move, he was also more casual and did not

What action means.

Qiu Ze did not assist quickly at the beginning, and his movements were very slow, which made everyone more firmly believe that Qiu Ze would choose to pass the ball.

After a few slow steps, Qiu Ze suddenly accelerated. He rushed towards the football like a sharp arrow. He stepped heavily on the left side of the ball with his left foot, and then kicked the underside of the ball with the instep of his right foot.

.

With a bang, the ball kicked by Qiu Ze flew directly towards the goal at an extremely fast speed!

Borrush, who was already preparing to attack, saw the ball and thought to himself, "Oh no!", then retracted his center of gravity and flew towards his left side!

The Celtic wall was even more frightened. At this time, it was too late for them to jump. The football flew over their heads like lightning and flew towards the Celtic goal.

In almost the blink of an eye, the ball flew into the penalty area. The ball, which had almost no rotation, accelerated and fell as it flew over the head of the Celtic wall. It was as fast as falling in the night sky.

of meteors.

Celtic goalkeeper Borusch in front of the goal was shocked, and he immediately pounced out.

But the football that was falling at an accelerated speed hit the turf of the small penalty area hard when it fell into the small penalty area, and then quickly bounced off the ground, adding another acceleration to the already fast football, making the football even faster.

Fly towards the near corner of the goal quickly!

The ball bounced to the ground, which obviously made Borusch's save more difficult. What's terrible is that the ball bounced to the ground even faster, which was ridiculously fast!

This made Borusch, who had his hands slightly bent, quickly straighten his arms in the hope of blocking the ball from the baseline.

But his reaction speed was still a beat slower than the speed of the ball. He could only watch helplessly as the ball grazed his fingertips and entered the goal!

"Goooooooooooooal!!! Gooal!!! Fantastic goal!!! Unbelievable goal!!! Chris! Chris! Chris!!! He scored the Celtic goal again! His

This goal will most likely kick off a goal battle for the fans again!!!"

"Another world wave! Super World Cup wave! Magical Chris! Magical Benfica No. 10! Magical super star!" The commentator of Eurosport used a series of magical words to describe Qiu Ze. This guy was so excited.

He felt that his blood was boiling.

"It's so awesome! This ball is a complete trick of Borussia!!!" Benfica fans in the stands also cheered loudly for Qiu Ze's free kick.

Santos on the sidelines also rushed out of the coaching bench excitedly, waving his fists excitedly, reflecting his passion!

After scoring the goal, Qiu Ze was very excited. He rushed to the sidelines excitedly. After running for a distance, his legs suddenly tensed and rolled on the turf. His body caught the momentum of the rapid running and inertially

Gliding towards the front crown, leaving a scratch on the green turf!
