Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 97 You are lucky!

Albacete fought back.

Soon, their counterattack was effective.

In the 25th minute, Galareta knocked down the opponent's No. 7 left winger Sam with a tactical foul in the middle of the backcourt.

Albacete wins a free kick in the attacking half.

This free kick is relatively far away, about 33-35 meters away.

It is not easy to score this goal directly, not to mention that the interceptor Zheng Long is standing opposite.

After discussing for a few seconds, Albacete's players worked out their tactics.

No. 7 Sam and No. 10 Cruise stood in front of the goal.

In order to prevent another sneak attack by Zaragoza, Albacete left 3 defenders and a midfielder Indiano to stay in the backcourt this time.

I saw a wall of 3 people standing in front of me

After Sam ran over, after a feint.Taking a deep breath, Cruise took 2 steps and kicked the ball.

The ball crossed an arc and flew obliquely between Zaragoza's large penalty area and small penalty area.

"This free kick, Kroos kicked it very well. The ball just went around the Zaragoza wall, and the speed was very fast. Near the point where the ball landed, we saw several players from the two teams interacting with each other. Fighting for position."

"Who can grab it?"

"Ah... Zheng Long rushed out!"

"He took off and got the ball with both hands!"

"Oh! It's dangerous. Albacete is dangerous. Zheng Long holds the ball and rushes forward."

"Albacete's head coach was in a hurry. He stood on the coach's area and shouted loudly, reminding his players to retreat quickly!"

"Actually, he didn't need to remind. Albacete's players all responded. Both forwards went up to interfere with Zheng Long. The others were running back desperately!"

Zheng Long rushed forward 2 steps with the ball in his arms, stopped suddenly, and threw the ball to Fernandez.

Seeing this, Cesar and Dias hurried up to double-team, trying to get the ball back.

Zheng Long hurriedly beckoned.

Fernandez immediately passed the ball back.

As soon as Zheng Long's foot stopped, he took the ball forward, ran up, swung his big foot and slapped the ball.

The ball quickly flew to the middle.

Center Baston ran forward desperately, seeing that the ball was about to fall, he was slower than his opponent.

As soon as Baston was cruel, he kicked his feet and threw himself directly, like a large flying squirrel, the whole body flew in the air.

One step ahead of No. 5 Garcia, Baston was the first to hit the ball in the air.

The ball immediately changed direction and flew past Garcia towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Doronsolo, who was running out, was about to curse.

He thought that Garcia was going to get the ball first, but Doronsolo didn't expect that it was Baston who got the ball at the last moment.

Seeing the ball flying towards the goal, he turned around and frantically chased it back.

But what broke him down was that he could only watch the ball fall into the goal, but he couldn't catch up.

FUCK!

Doronsolo got up and hammered the grass hard.

Oh shit!

What teammates are these.

Can't help at all.

He got up and yelled at Garcia. "What the hell are you doing? You can't even look down on someone? You even let your opponent grab the ball!"

Garcia was also very annoyed, seeing that he was about to grab the ball.Unexpectedly, the opponent rushed out directly and grabbed the ball first.

This is his fault, there is no escape.

Garcia could only look resentfully at the Huaxia goalkeeper Zheng Long who had finished seventy or eighty.

If it weren't for that guy who can block the ball every time and counterattack quickly, how could he be so passive.

Damn guy!
Didn't you go to rest for the first few games?
Don't come back today.Is it against us Albacete?
Seeing the ball go in, the commentator Manolo yelled.

"It's a defensive quick counterattack again, and Zheng Long's long pass! Now this kind of quick counterattack to stop the opponent's goal and launch is already Zaragoza's conventional weapon. Zheng Long's assist has helped Zaragoza Gossa scored a lot!"

"The goalkeeper who can help the team on defense and help the team on offense, since Paraguay's legendary goalkeeper Madman Chilavert and Mexico's legendary goalkeeper Huadie Campos retired. In today's football, apart from the interceptor Zheng Long, I I really can't think of anyone else!"

"Zaragoza got a priceless treasure! They should be extremely grateful!"

……

Seeing the team score another goal, the fans of Zaragoza were extremely excited.

Zheng Long is not there, what is Zaragoza playing.To defend without defense, to attack without offense.

Zheng Long returned to the starting lineup, and Zaragoza immediately returned to the ranks of winners.Everyone can see the importance of Zheng Long to Zaragoza.

Fans were annoyed at the thought of the previous two losses.

"The most stable and reliable player in Zaragoza is the interceptor!"

"That damned stupid general manager Valdano actually hid Zheng Longxue for a trivial matter, what a fucking bastard!"

"That is, if it weren't for his stupid decision. We could create a longer undefeated record. Even now the top spot still belongs to us!"

"If he dares to hide the interceptor again, we will burn his car. Zaragoza cannot be destroyed in his hands!"

"Yes. If he dares to mess around again, we will burn his car."

……

The game continued, and Albacete, who was 2 goals behind, played impatiently.

They were eager to recover a goal, but under the reminder of Zheng Long's hair dryer, Zaragoza's defense was pretty good.

Zaragoza took the initiative and became more and more excited as he kicked.

In the 37th minute, William Jose broke into the penalty area in a counterattack. He got rid of two people in a row and attacked with his left foot from a small angle. The ball hit the post and popped out!
Albacete survived!
Albacete was besieged, and it was not until the 41st minute that they ushered in another chance to attack.

Cruise obliquely hangs in the restricted area.Zaragoza defender Cabrera made a header error. Dias volleyed with his left foot on the right side of the penalty area. Zheng Long fell to the ground and tried to save the ball!

In the 46th minute, Pedro sent a precise through ball, Hajiqi single-handedly broke into the penalty area with a low shot, Doronsolo judged accurately and fell to the ground to save the ball!

As Hajiqi scratched his head in distress, regretting that he was too impatient just now, he should be more stable.

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

At halftime, Popovich was pleased with the first-half score.During the break, I just told the players to pay more attention to defense and work hard in running, and there was no other arrangement.

Albacete coach Jose Manuel was definitely not happy with his team's performance in the first half.

After commenting on a few players, he arranged the defense for the second half.

Albacete launched a fierce offensive at the beginning of the second half.

They fell behind by 2 goals in the first half, and they were already forced to recover a goal in order to have time and opportunity to tie the score.

Zheng Long became the busiest person, constantly instructing his teammates to man-to-man defense.Popovich on the sidelines also shouted the players' names from time to time.

In the 47th minute, Cruz took the ball and forcibly got rid of Doka's press, and shot with his left foot from outside the penalty area.

But Zheng Long held the ball firmly.

Zheng Long tried to launch a fast break and the ball went to the feet of William Jose.

But in the frontcourt, when William wanted to try to break through again, he was cut off.

Albacete hit another wave of offense, and the ball was quickly sent to the frontcourt.

Cruz and Sam hit the wall in a row, and then the opponent handed the ball to Cesar in the frontcourt. Cesar dribbled the ball past the defender Vallejo. After adjusting a step, he immediately volleyed with his right foot. Top right corner of the goal!

boom--

Zheng Long leaped to the upper right corner of the goal and caught the ball firmly with both hands!
Zheng Long threw the ball to Pedro, and Pedro sprinted 20 meters inward with the ball and advanced to the top of the arc, crossing decisively.

Hajić, who plugged in behind, volleyed with his left foot and broke the net.

3 to 0, this goal basically declared Albacete's death sentence in this game.

Probably knowing that this game cannot be won, starting from the 68th minute, coach Albacete began to take the initiative to make substitutions.

The core players Cruz, Sam, and Cesar were replaced one after another, and replaced by young players to exercise.

When Popovich saw that the opponent had surrendered, he quickly replaced Pedro, Fernandez, and Galareta.

Replaced young teenager midfielder No. 27 S. Gil, No. 33 Guti, defender No. 32 C. Nieto.

The young teenagers are full of energy. After they played, the game became more intense.

The ball was exchanged repeatedly in the midfield, but the score remained unchanged until the 89th minute.

Zaragoza made a direct pass in the counterattack. William Jose forcibly broke through Garcia with his speed and physical confrontation, then broke into the penalty area and was knocked down.
William Jose took the penalty, and he shot steadily into the lower left corner of the goal!
4 to 0, this is also the final score of the audience.

When the whistle blew, Albacete coach Jose Manuel said sourly as he came over to shake Popovich's hand.

"You are lucky to have interceptors. Otherwise the victory would be ours!"
