Jagged Wings

Chapter 122
In the TV broadcast footage, Reyes and Lopez were seen pushing and shoving together, and then Raul and Joaquin ran over and stopped one by one to stop the internal strife.

"It's unbelievable that the Spaniards, who are famous for being elegant and gentlemen, have also started internal strife. People say that the Spaniards have too much spirituality and not enough blood. Now it seems that this Spanish team is definitely not..."

Under a series of "unbelievable" and "unbelievable" descriptions from the commentator, Reyes and Lopez barely separated until the referee came up.

Of course, the referee did not appease the two of them because it was a dispute within the Spanish team. He showed a yellow card to Lopez who provoked the incident first, and warned both parties to calm down.

When the game started again, Spain's attack on the left was in trouble.Originally, Saudi Arabia's own defense zone was full of people, coupled with a pair of uncooperative left wingers and left backs in Spain, it made Saudi Arabia's defense look a lot easier.

Saudi Arabia even had a few chances to get the ball on the left, but because of coach Pakta's defensive policy, the full-backs did not get in, but relied on the simple cooperation of full-back Manu and forward Kahtani.

Facing Spain's three midfielders behind, such small fights naturally do not constitute any threat.

Spain's goalkeeper Canizares has only appeared in the camera once so far, and it was the time when he shook hands at the opening.At other times, he leaned against the doorpost to watch the play.

The consequence of not being fully active was that when the Saudi striker fired a high and drifting ball from outside the penalty area, Canizares did not take off enough and almost missed the ball, which ended up being knocked off the crossbar by him in embarrassment. .

The Saudi striker was depressed, and more Saudi players turned their eyes to Pakta.

And Paqueta stood on the sidelines, struggling all over his face.Spain's loopholes are now obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. This is true but somewhat "artificial". Who knows that Spain didn't intentionally create an infighting game, and then set it up for Saudi Arabia?

But the temptation to draw or even reverse the world's top team Spain scratched his heart like a cat's paw...

Too tormented!

Here the Spanish coach Aragones stood up. He walked to the sidelines and shouted the names of Reyes and Lopez, but there was too much noise in the stadium, and the two could not hear him at all, and they could not even look at him. Give Aragones a shot.

Aragones was a little angry, he turned and waved towards Luis Garcia.

Of course Paqueta knew Garcia. He and Reyes played in the same position. Reyes and Garcia played in the first two games of the group stage.It seems that Aragones is very dissatisfied with Reyes and wants to replace him.

After Garcia warmed up for a few minutes, he handed over an application for a substitution to the fourth official, and the fourth official took the list to record.

It appears to be true!
They were all forced to make substitutions, and it was only then that Paqueta believed that there was really internal strife in Spain.But time is running out, Garcia will play soon.

Unable to wait any longer, Paqueta gestured towards the players on the field.This gesture was agreed upon by them, and the signal was: attack!

The Saudi players who got the offensive signal immediately became more active, and began to steal desperately.

Reyes dribbled in from the wide area, a Saudi midfielder followed him, and one of the three central defenders came forward to defend him.Reyes stopped and wanted to wait for Raul to come up to respond, but the Saudi right back left Lopez on the sideline and ran over. The three double-teamed and broke Reyes' ball.

The full-back defied the habit of kicking the ball directly, knocked the ball to another midfielder, and started running forward by himself.

On the sidelines, Garcia has already stood on the sidelines, showing the soles of his shoes to the fourth official.There seemed to be something wrong with his studs and the fourth official seemed to be communicating with him again.

The Saudi players on the field also saw this scene on the sidelines. Of course they knew who Garcia was going to replace, so they wanted to take advantage of the time between their substitutions to deal a major blow to Spain!

It seems that knowing that time is running out and opportunities are rare, this time the attack on Saudi Arabia was very willing to invest in troops.Spain's two full-backs have been pressing in the frontcourt, and they have a lot of space on the wing!

Saudi winger Soleimani dribbled the ball, and Xiaofa, who was delayed, came up to make up the defense. Soleimani did not have the confidence to rely on his personal skills to overtake him, but chose to knock the ball into the middle by himself.After all, Iniesta is not a defensive player. The Saudi midfielder carried Iniesta's defense and gave the ball to another tall forward.

Then the football came to Kahtani's feet again, and Albelda wanted to come up to steal the ball, but Kahtani flicked his ankle, and the football flew into the space on the left side of Spain.

Soleimani received the ball, then bottomed and crossed.

This series of cooperation from Saudi Arabia made the neutral fans in the stands blow their whistles. It was too boring to watch Spain attack wildly for an hour. Seeing such a wonderful cooperation from Saudi Arabia this time, they suddenly became excited.They don't care who wins or loses. What they want to see is the exciting scenes and fierce confrontation. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people want to watch the scene where diaosi counterattacks the rich and handsome.

But they were disappointed!
Canizares, who had a shot record before, jumped high this time and firmly caught Soleimani's cross.

Paqueta's right eyelid twitched violently.

Then I saw Canizares throw the ball to Iniesta without any hesitation.Iniesta takes the ball, gets away, observes the situation and then a long ball.

The football flew to the left, and Lopez, who was not able to defend well, received the ball instead. He took the ball and turned around and rushed forward.At this time, there are only three central defenders and a trailing midfielder left in Saudi Arabia's backcourt, and Spain's frontcourt also only has a trident.In terms of numbers, Saudi Arabia still has the advantage.

This made Pakta's suspended heart slightly calmer.

A central defender ran up to defend, the other two looked at Raúl and Joaquin, and the midfielder was close to Reyes, but not very close.After all, Reyes and Lopez don't pass the ball to each other, and everyone can see it.

Reyes also looked like he wasn't ready to catch the ball, walking slowly there.The Saudi midfielder felt that there was no point in defending him, so he ran up to block the angle of Lopez's pass.

At this moment, Lopez passed the ball, and the direction was right behind the central defender.

Who is there?
Reyes cuts in at high speed and catches the football.

Single-handedly, not offside!

"Beautiful anti-offside! Reyes took the ball and rushed! He appeared behind the entire Saudi defense line in an instant, and now there is no one to stop him!"

Saudi goalkeeper Zeid performed well in this game. He had saved at least three of Spain's must-have goals before.But when facing Reyes, when he tried to force Reyes to give up possession with a ferocious upper tackle, Reyes swung him away with a quick change of direction.

There was no suspense about what happened next, Reyes scored the ball into the empty goal.

Spain leads Saudi Arabia 2-0.

Paqueta was ashamed, and what made him extremely disappointed was not that Spain scored the second goal, but that Reyes was the first to hug Lopez after the goal.

He was played!
