The strongest winger

Chapter 118 Lightning Goal
******
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye came the second leg of the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League, which was attracting worldwide attention. The first match was Liverpool's match against Chelsea at Anfield. In just 4 minutes of the game, Luis Garcia took the lead for the Red Army and opened the door to victory.

In the end, the Red Army also relied on his goal to win.

The next day, another UEFA Champions League semi-final was played at Ajax's home court. The two sides played very openly. At the end of 10 minutes, the two sides fought [-]-[-], and the total score was [-]-[-]. In the end... AC Milan eliminated Ajax with an away goal and joined Liverpool in Istanbul.

When the whole of Europe is still reporting these two semi-finals, Valencia in Spain also ushered in the second leg of their UEFA Cup semi-finals in the 04-05 season, playing against CSKA Moscow at home.

At the regular press conference before the start of the game, Akinfeev, the young captain of CSKA Moscow, not only swore that Aiello would not score a goal when faced with questions from the media!They also took an opportunity to 'extremely carelessly' reveal that they had researched Ai Luo's weakness!

"Although we conceded two goals at our home court, we are still ahead - CSKA Moscow! Moreover, we have already studied the weakness of Valencia No. 28. We will surprise him in tonight's game!"

Akinfeev said with a smile.

Hearing this, the reporters who participated in the pre-match press conference all pricked up their ears!

It turned out that Ai also has weaknesses, and then they thought, that's right!Everyone has weaknesses, but——what is his weakness?Then the problem comes.

"Excuse me, what is Ai's weakness, is it convenient to disclose it?"

A reporter raised his hand hastily, and asked quickly after being pointed out.

"Hey, this is the secret of the team, it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being..."

At this time, Gazayev smiled mysteriously and said.

"···"

The reporters in the audience cursed inwardly, you'll die if you show too much drama? ?
******
Before this crucial battle started, the Mestalla Stadium was already surrounded by fans. Under the leadership of their respective fan groups, they performed their duties and arranged the stadium into various special scenes, while other fans who had nothing to do sang their team song "Valencia Hymn"

The UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup games are basically fixed in time, and both are played at 45:[-] pm in the European time zone.

The bus of the home team Valencia arrived at the Mestalla Stadium at seven o'clock in the evening.

From the moment the team bus drove to the outside of the stadium, the cheers of the fans of the home team have been strong, showing no sign of stopping.

The moment the players got off the bus, they were caught in front of countless news media's guns and cannons, and they were subconsciously stunned for a moment.

As the most popular player right now, Ai Luo is naturally surrounded by the most reporters.

"Will this match be won?"

"How is your state in this game? Will you score??"

"At the regular press conference before the game, the head coach of CSKA Moscow said that he has found your weakness. How do you deal with this problem?"

Hearing this, Ai Luo had the desire to reply to the news media, "Weaknesses? Haha--Actually, I also want to know what my weaknesses are? But--I am looking forward to CSKA Moscow's countermeasures!"

No one knows him better than himself. Ai Luo certainly knows where his weaknesses are. He habitually uses his right foot to shoot, and his left foot is basically unemployed.
After speaking, he followed the teammates in front of him and entered the locker room of the home team at the Mestalla Stadium from the 'secret passage'.

******
The fans of the home team worked hard. From the time the home team players came out to warm up, the singing of "Valencia Hymn" in the stands never stopped.

And the players of the home team on the court are also warming up very hard, welcoming the next game in an excellent state, and repaying the fans with a hearty victory.

Ranieri continued to sit in the stands to sit on the 'ball monitor', and two competent UEFA staff sat on both sides of him, one on the left and one on the right.

The starting players on the field warmed up very hard. From the simple pass and catch, it can be seen that they are in a very good state today. Seeing this, the corners of Ranieri's mouth turned up, and he murmured: "This game is interesting!"

Gazaev, who was in front of the coaching bench of the visiting team, seemed unhappy at the moment, because the home team not only had a good atmosphere at home, but also the players of the home team were in very good condition, which made him start to worry about the result of the game.

At the same time, he also remembered the bet with the team chairman. He swore that he would win this game and win the UEFA Cup!
Thinking of this, Gazayev gritted his teeth and clenched his fists very rarely.

******
The on-site commentator began to broadcast the history of the two teams, and the pre-war atmosphere completely kicked off the battle. At this time, the starting lineups of the two teams have also been reported to UEFA, and the on-site commentator also received the starting lineups of the two teams——
Home team Valencia:

Goalkeeper: Canizares
Defenders: Aurelio, Ayala, Moretti, Navarro
Midfielders: Baraja, Albelda, Aimar
Forwards: Vicente, Ferrer, Aiello

····
Away team CSKA Moscow:
Goalkeeper: Akinfeev
Defenders: A. Berezzuski, Ignacivic, V. Berezzuski, Semberas

Midfielders: Altonin, Odiah, Carvalho, Rasimic, Zherkov

Forward: Wagner
····
At this moment, Benetti, the acting head coach in front of the coaching bench of the home team, also got the opponent's starting lineup, and subconsciously seized it. Why didn't the previous starting forward Olic not start?Is it an injury or a surprise soldier?

So, before turning his head and stretching his head to look at the visiting team's bench, the Croatian Olić was wiping his sweat and chatting with his teammates.

From the formation of the two sides, it is not difficult to see that the home team is in an offensive posture, while the visiting team is in a defensive posture, leaving only Wagner in front to play the role of a strategic counterattack.

******
The referee stood in the middle circle, stretched out his hand to indicate whether the goalkeepers of both sides were ready, and then began to adjust the watch on his left wrist.

The fans in the stands held their breath in unison.

The starting 11 players from both sides are waiting for the referee's whistle.

"Beep-"

At this moment, the referee blew his whistle.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO——
Almost at the same time as the referee blew his whistle, the fans in the stands burst into astonishing cheers.

"China Central Television, CCTV, welcome everyone to watch the second round of the 04-05 Europa League semi-finals. The defending champion Valencia is playing against CSKA Moscow at home. From the left to the right of the screen is the home team Valencia wearing a white jersey. From the right to the left of the screen is the visiting team CSKA Moscow in a red jersey. I am the commentator Huang Jianxiang..."

"Good evening, fans. I am the familiar commentator Hyde. The referee has already blown the whistle to start the game. The home team Valencia is attacking from left to right, and the visiting team CSKA Moscow is attacking from right to left. Valencia is wearing their traditional white home jersey in this game-"

"The first game of the second round of the UEFA Cup semi-finals in the 04-05 season has already started. At this time tomorrow, there will be another second round of the semi-finals. Back to the topic, the referee has already blown the whistle in his mouth... to announce the official start of the game. The home team Valencia put up their most offensive lineup, while the visiting team CSKA Moscow put out their most defensive lineup. Or will the spear pierce the shield? Then——I will wait and see with everyone for the next game..."

******
Wagner stood on the center circle and stepped on the ball to Carvalho. After receiving the football, the latter did not intend to move forward. He pulled the ball back with his right foot, and passed the ball to Rasimic with his left foot.

Almost at the same time that Carvalho passed the ball back, Ai Luo quickly rushed to Rasimic who received the ball, and the teammates behind him also surrounded the teammates around Rasimic aggressively as they had agreed in advance.

Suddenly, they formed a siege against the visiting team CSKA Moscow.

In order to avoid losing the ball, Rasimic kicked the ball out before Ai Luo grabbed it.

It is commendable that the direction of Rasimic's big kick is also particular. He did not kick forward blindly, he kicked towards the right side of the field.

After the start of the game, the players of the home team Valencia were very aggressive. With everyone's concerted efforts, they quickly broke the football. After Baraja broke the ball, he passed the ball directly to Albelda, who controlled the attacking rhythm of his side.

Albelda didn't stop the ball and made a long pass directly towards the rolling football.

Valencia began to switch from defense to offense.

Although the ball was not adjusted, it was passed very accurately, and Vicente on the right received the football.

After Vicente took the ball, he confidently passed the ball directly to the baseline, passed Zherkov who was like a wooden stake in an instant, and brought it towards the baseline...
Rasimic didn't expect Zherkov to be passed by Vicente so easily, and he subconsciously froze for a moment, but his reaction was still fast, and he rushed diagonally to Vicente, who was the "bottom line brother".

At the same time, the full-back Sembellas also rushed towards Vicente, and the two were aggressively preparing to make dumplings for Vicente.

Seeing the opponent's full-back rushing towards him, Vicente quickly swung his right foot as if preparing for a 45-degree cross. In order to effectively block Vicente's cross, Sembellas subconsciously stopped a small step and stretched his left leg, but to his surprise, Vicente had no intention of crossing at all.

While Semberas stretched his left leg, he swung his right foot down again abruptly. The outside of his instep swung the ball toward the baseline.

Taking advantage of this time difference, he quickly chased after the football.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOO0——
At this time, the fans of the home team in the stands were excited again——
At the same time, Ferrer gritted his teeth and ran towards the penalty area of ​​CSKA Moscow. The left winger Aiello also ran to the back of the penalty area according to the tactical requirements before the game. Albelda stood at the top of the penalty area, and Baraja stood not far behind him, ready to make effective protection.

Semberas and Zherkov gritted their teeth and chased after Vicente, while V. Berezzuski and Ignacievich attacked Ferrer, and A. Berezuzki, who was behind, got stuck in front of Aiello.

As a result, the restricted area of ​​CSKA Moscow suddenly became lively.

After Vicente chased the football, he swung his right foot and crossed the ball...

Sembellas' right foot was half a beat too late, and the football almost brushed his toes and flew towards the penalty area.

This is a half-high ball, and the goal is Ferrer at the front point!

Although V. Berezuzski was running looking at the football in mid-air, his right hand rhythmically pulled towards the jersey behind Ferrer. The force was not very strong, but it caused a lot of pressure on Ferrer. Ignacivic looked at the football and kicked hard with both feet, preparing to push the ball out of the baseline and ease the tension at the beginning of the game.

However, he soon felt a chill in his scalp.

It's over!
The back of Gazayev standing on the sideline was covered with cold sweat instantly.

V. Berezuzski, who only focused on Ferrer's back jersey, did not expect that Ignacivic would fall to the top, and subconsciously pulled Ferrer's jersey more forcefully. The latter was pulled by the sudden pull, and his forward pace stopped for a while. In addition, he was shaken by Ignacivic in front of him. He made a little mistake in judging the landing point, and the football almost flew past the sole of his outstretched right foot.

Later!

Goalkeeper Akinfeev was also shaken twice in succession, hesitated, and did not attack.

Ai Luo, who was just planning to gather the number of people and didn't intend to grab points at all, when he ran to the back point, suddenly found that the football was flying towards this side, subconsciously stretched his right leg, and the football stopped obediently on the small penalty area line.

A. Berezuzski was startled, but fortunately Ai Luo was also shaken by the two men before him, so he didn't shoot the goal at the first time.

After Ai Luo stopped the football with his right foot, in order to better swing his legs and shoot, he shifted his center of gravity to the left. A. Berezowski hurried forward. He remembered that the head coach told him before the game that he must guard Ai Luo's right side, which is his left side. He is a right-hander!

A. Berezudski's long legs are aimed at the football under Ai Luo's feet at the same time
Shovel!

The atmosphere at the Mestalla Stadium became more and more tense, and the air almost froze!
During the shift of Aiello's center of gravity, the toe of his left foot almost subconsciously tapped, and the football rolled from A. Berezuzski's crotch to the far corner of the goal.

Akinfeev, who quickly moved from the far corner to the near corner, also noticed the football rolling towards the far corner. His body stopped abruptly, and he quickly fell to the left. The movement was very fast, like a leopard that saw its prey.

The fans in the stands held their breath, their eyes fixed on the football rolling towards the far corner of the goal.

In the blink of an eye, Akinfeev's left fingertip touched the football.

However, it is a pity that it did not change the ultimate fate of football, but only changed the direction slightly.

The football continued to roll towards the far corner, then hit the inside of the post on the right side of the goal, and slowly rolled into the net.

1:0
