Chapter 184 Gambling
At halftime, Zaragoza and Real Sociedad temporarily tied 0-0.
Standing at the door of the locker room, Popovich paused in thought for a while.
Neckens asked suspiciously. "gentlemen?"
A reminder from the assistant brought Popovich back to his senses.
"Oh. I was thinking about something just now!"
Popovich pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing coach Popovich walk in, the players stopped talking and looked at him.
Popovich finally made up his mind.
Before his assistant pulled over to play the tactical board, he said: "The opponent is determined to stick to the end in this game. Now there is only one way in front of us. We will try our best to pry open the opponent's gate and send the ball into the opponent. door!"
He picked up an oil paintbrush and explained while drawing on the tactical board.
"It's not easy to pry open the opponent's door. We need more patience. More tactics!"
"In the second half, Joaquin, make more crosses! As for the forward point, or the late point, you can decide for yourself!"
"Hajić, Baston, when you see Joaquin's pass, you run first, to the right side of the goal, and try to take the defender away. If the ball is passed to your side, try your best to score the ball. !"
"William Jose you run to the left of the goal. You are taller than your opponent, stronger than your opponent, don't be afraid! Use your advantage, OK?"
"Nani, in the second half, you have to break through more. I don't care how many people are in the penalty area. You just break through decisively. Don't shoot from long distances! Do you understand? When you get to the penalty area, remember to pass the ball. If there is no chance, you will be fouled by the opponent! Penalties are the best. No If you do, you will also win a free kick!"
"Once a free kick. We have to take our chances."
"Ordinary free kick tactics may not be easy to score into the opponent's goal."
Cabrera, Vallejo, Gallareta, William Jose, Baston, you all ran to the penalty area and competed for the landing. "
"You fight in a row, once the ball is sent out. You run like this!"
Popovich draws demonstrations of players' moves on the tactical board.
Zaragoza players are a little confused.
The head coach pulled almost all 9 players into the penalty area to participate in the offense, except for Pedro who served.
Once the ball is not scored, when the opponent counterattacks.
Can Pedro handle it alone?
No matter how bold you were in the past, you still left 2 defenders in the backcourt!
Not only other people have doubts, but even Pedro himself has doubts.
"Sir, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with the opponent's counterattack by myself!"
Popovich said with feigned relief: "I know. But you have to trust your teammates!"
He turned and shouted at Zheng Long. "Tell me, Dragon. Can you keep the goal?"
Zheng Long nodded heavily. "I can!"
Popovich spread his hands and said: "You heard it! The dragon will handle our goal. What you should think about now is how to find a way to send the ball into the goal. This is the greatest support for him!"
It's very risky, but in Popovich's view, Zheng Long is the best goalkeeper he has ever seen who is good at single-handed shots.
With him, it's worth taking a gamble!
The Zaragoza players almost rolled their eyes when they heard that.
Co-authoring you put all your bets on the interceptor Zheng Long.
Seeing the player's appearance, Popovich clapped his hands to draw the player's attention back.
"I know it's risky, but in this situation. We have to take a risk."
"Now is our critical moment, as long as we make it through, the days ahead will be much easier!"
"Now is the time to show our determination. Only by making it through the devil's schedule will we be eligible to compete for the league championship!"
"La Liga champion! How many players can't touch that champion in their lives. Guys, now we have this chance."
"Come on! Show our hard work and fighting spirit. Don't regret not working hard today when you retire!"
Popovich looked at Joaquin.
Joaquin understood what the head coach meant.
He stood up and inspected the players present.
"I believe that the teammates present know my experience. In Valencia, I formed a wing combination with Vicente. For two consecutive seasons, we only ranked third in the league. Now think about it, if I could work harder then A little bit, if I work harder, maybe I have already won the La Liga championship by now. I don’t need to be empty-handed now. Guys, if you have a chance to compete for the championship, you must fight hard. Don’t end up like me!”
In the summer of 06, Joaquin moved to Valencia, and the two formed the famous Devil Wings.
However, due to injuries, Vicente and Joaquin only maintained their peak for one season, and gradually faded out of the main force.
Although it was only one season, the Devil Wings formed by Joaquin and Vicente left a deep impression on many people.
They are like Ribery and Arjen Robben of Bayern.
The words of the head coach are not as powerful as those who have personally experienced it.
Especially Joaquin's vicissitudes of face and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes silently tell of his brilliant and regretful career.
If we don't work hard now, what will we do when we are really like Joaquin?
We are not necessarily as good as Joaquin.But there may not be a chance to play for the giants and compete for the league championship.
I heard that the interceptor Zheng Long has not renewed his contract with the team.
It can be seen that his future is not destined to be a small club like Zaragoza.
If he is not there, can Zaragoza achieve better results than it is now?
Maybe this season is our best time.
If you miss it, you may never have another chance.
Seeing his teammates pondering, Joaquin took the opportunity to stretch out his hand and shouted.
"Come on! Win this game and win the La Liga championship!"
The other players stood up and put their hands on Joaquin's. "Come on! Win this game and win the La Liga championship!"
Seeing Joaquin lead by example inspired his teammates.
Popovich was delighted.
Sure enough, the team needs such a veteran.At critical times, he can motivate his teammates and stabilize the morale of the army.
……
With the whistle of the referee, the game restarted.
Compared with the first half, Zaragoza has more fighting spirit.
Joaquin took a kick from the right and the ball flew in.
Baston and Hajić kept the coach's instructions in mind and ran to the right side of the goal.
William Jose dragged behind before running to the left.
The ball flew over, and Zaragoza's players jumped up desperately.
Some of the Real Sociedad players were taken away, leaving a lot of space on the left to give William Jose more space.
Even if he was entangled by No. 19 Yuri, he still touched the ball and tried to head the ball to the far corner.
It just wasn't strong enough, and was kicked out by Luli.
Seeing that the ball was blocked and landed at the feet of No. 17 Surutusa on the right sideline, the Zaragoza players immediately launched a counterattack.
Pedro and Joaquin shouted loudly. "Quick. Keep up. Don't give him an easy pass!"
Hajiqi and Joaquin hurried up to press down.
Seeing the opponent coming up, Sulutusa kicked the ball forward and destroyed the ball.
The ball quickly fell into the middle circle.
Fernandez rushed back, controlled the ball and passed it to Pedro.
Pedro quickly passed to Nani.
Nani kept in mind the coach's advice and did not try long shots from the outside.
He took the ball and headed towards the penalty area. As soon as he passed a person, Nani fell into the crowd.
Surrounded by people, Nani is not Messi, he does not have the ability to dribble around in a small area.
The ball was taken away and Real Sociedad launched a counterattack.
No. 10 Prieto sent the ball to the direction of No. 28 Oyal Sabal in the frontcourt.
He flew high and crossed most of the field.
But this time, Galaretta rushed to the horse.He was stuck in the position at the first time, and he refused to let Oyal Sabal behind him grab the best spot.
After grabbing the ball, Galareta made a long pass to William Jose.
William Jose pressed his opponent and headed the ball towards Nani.
Nani received the ball, made a dunk, and No. 3 Gonzalez quickly followed.
Seeing Gonzalez following up sideways, Nani suddenly played with the tail of the bull.
The ball flew back from his left foot, Nani touched his right foot and the ball went through Gonzalez's feet, and he accelerated to run towards the penalty area.
Manolo shouted excitedly. "The ox's tail is extraordinary! Nani actually used the ox's tail to be extraordinary, this... is really surprising!"
The oxtail is amazing!
Hard!
Especially in competition.
There are not many people who want to play this trick well.
Ronaldinho is the one who enjoys playing the most.
Nani, or the move of riding a bicycle is used a lot among Portuguese players, but it is really rare to have a strong tail.
Nani came suddenly, which made Gonzalez completely unexpected.
Seeing that the opponent was about to rush into the penalty area, Gonzalez pulled him with his hand in a moment of desperation.
Nani immediately used an exaggerated scream to remind the referee to pay attention.
He rolled the stone and threw it on the ground.
Sure enough, Nani's screams were hard to ignore.
The referee blew the whistle immediately and took a free kick in the frontcourt.
Seeing that the referee whistled a free kick, Nani clenched his fists when he stood up.
Gonzalez just complained and ran to the penalty area.
His tugging just now was too obvious, and he didn't even have a chance to refute.
This free kick is a bit close to the goal!
About 25 meters to 28 meters.
You can open the door directly.
Real Sociedad did not dare to neglect, and the players all retreated to participate in the defense.
The 4 players were about to form a wall on the foam line, but they suddenly hesitated.
Even Pepe, who is well-informed and has supported the game commentary for nearly 30 years, exclaimed.
"Zaragoza is crazy for scoring goals! Completely crazy!"
"They didn't even keep a backcourt player, they all ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack!"
"God! This is not the last moment of the game. If it was the last moment, I would be surprised. But now is the 57th minute of the second half!"
"This is a big gamble. If Zaragoza can't score the ball, they will leave a big hidden danger behind!"
"Is it a gamble? Or do they trust the interceptor Zheng Long so much?"
……
While the commentator was exclaiming, the head coach of Real Sociedad stood in the coaching area and shouted loudly, indicating that only 3 players should be left to line up the wall.Others hurried to mark other Zaragoza players.
Goalkeeper Luli also nervously reminded the players who should mark whom.
Who should run where to stand.
Pedro took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and signaled his teammates that he was going to serve, and everyone was ready!
Standing between the small penalty area and the large penalty area, Zaragoza's five tallest players lined up. They all stared at the ball at Pedro's feet, and as soon as they saw Pedro kick the ball into the penalty area.
They exploded at the first instant and ran in opposite directions.
The restricted area is full of people!
Zaragoza's players suddenly ran, and they ran in different directions.
When the slow-paced Real Sociedad defensive players wanted to keep up, they ran into their own players or were blocked by Zaragoza players.
The entire restricted area was a mess.
When 19 Yuri, who was supposed to be marking William Jose, wanted to keep up, he was directly blocked by his own players Gonzalez and Galareta.
He couldn't get through it at all for a while, keeping up with William Jose.
Seeing William Jose running out of the open space, Yuri screamed in horror. "Make up defense, keep an eye on him!"
It's a pity that at this time, everyone was in a mess, and when they realized it.
William Jose has already jumped up, completely unattended, he jumped up vigorously, and hit the falling ball with a cross swing.
The ball immediately changed direction and flew towards the far corner of the goal.
The commentator Manolo shouted excitedly. "Real Sociedad made a big mistake, they missed William Jose!"
"It was a fatal mistake! Willian Jose headed the goal!"
After reacting, Luli hurriedly moved over. When he jumped up to block it, it was too late.
The ball has flown past his fingers towards the goal.
Luli turned his head and looked helplessly in the direction of the ball's flight.
Saw the ball go past the keeper and head for the goal.At that moment, the pupils of the Zaragoza players dilated, showing excitement.
In the next second, God made a joke with everyone.
boom!
The ball hit the door frame and bounced out.
"Wow! The ball didn't go in! The ball hit the frame and bounced out!"
"Zaragoza had bad luck. Real Sociedad got lucky!"
"Oh...the ball didn't fly far, and the siege hasn't been fully cleared yet!"
"Players on both sides are desperately fighting for the ball!"
When the players from Zaragoza and Real Sociedad saw the ball was about to fall, they rushed over immediately, trying to grab it.
Seeing that the ball was about to fall, the players of the two teams stirred together and fell down.
For a while, the referee couldn't judge whose fault it was.He dared not blow the whistle easily.
No. 4 Iliaramendi rushed over desperately, jumped up, kicked directly in the air, and flew the ball forward.
The ball flew high and flew to the frontcourt.
No. 28 Oyar Sabal rushed forward and galloped towards the frontcourt.Pedro, Fernandez,
Nani and other players quickly chased back.
But they are slow to start.Real Sociedad's winger No. 28 Oyar Sabal ran at the front.
The 3 Zaragoza players follow behind, and behind them the Real Sociedad players.
A swarm of players is running desperately, trying to catch up with the ball in the air.
The narrator Manolo stood up directly, his mouth was like a machine gun, and words popped out of his mouth like bullets.
"Zaragoza is in danger!"
"Now they don't have a single defensive player in the backcourt!"
"Oyal Sabal runs at the front, if he gets the ball, it will be a single goal!"
"The ball fell and Oyar Sabal was about to get it!"
"Wait! Someone is rushing over. It's the Interceptor!"
"The interceptor rushed out of the goal, trying to destroy the ball first!"
"It's crazy! If Oyar Sabal gets the ball first, he will face an empty goal!"
"Who's going to get the ball first?"
