Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 86 Create Our Miracle
The place where Delek fouled was about 35 meters away from the goal, and the direct shot was a bit far away.

What's more, they specially practiced set-piece tactics before the game, so naturally they couldn't let go of this set-piece opportunity.

After setting up the football, standing in front of the football, Yu Liang, who watched the opponent's goalkeeper constantly commanding the wall, felt a little churn in his heart.With his poor footwork, he didn't understand why Van Aker would hand over the free kick to himself.You know, before this game, it was DiGregorio's work.

Seeing that the penalty area was crowded with players from both sides, Yu Liang didn't know whether his pass could find his teammates.

beep!

After the referee whistled, Yu Liang took a few deep breaths to calm down his nervous mood.

After raising his right hand and pointing four fingers at the penalty area, Yu Liang started his run-up, and then made an arc with the instep of his right foot.

When the Antwerp players saw Yu Liang raised four fingers, they immediately rushed forward.

In the process of set kicks and corner kicks, the average team will have targeted tactics.

So when Yu Liang raised four fingers, Bill Short's players knew it was their tactical signal.Seeing that the Antwerp players flocked to the front point, Bill Short's players rushed towards the front point immediately.

But after they rushed to the front point, they found that their judgment had made a mistake. Perhaps this was not a tactical gesture at all, because the flying football bypassed the front point and flew directly to the back point.

When all the players flocked to the front point to fight for the header, Christopher retreated and moved to the back point.

Not all Bill Short players rushed towards the front point. There was also a defensive player beside Christopher, Bill Short center back Mario Zvitanovic, who was always by Christopher's side.The veteran's experience is fully displayed at this moment.

When the experienced Zvitanovic flew to the back point, the first time he used his body to jam Christopher next to him.

Although experienced, there is still a gap between Mario Tsvetanovic and Christopher in terms of physical confrontation.

In addition, Christopher, who has returned to the green field, urgently needs to repay Van Ark's trust with goals. You must know that a series of set-piece tactical training before the game revolves around him.

Watching the football flying towards him, Christopher didn't forcefully jump directly.

Although Yu Liang's pass came to the back point, the quality of the pass was not particularly high.Although the speed of the ball is fast, the route of the ball is not stable, and it is difficult for people to grasp it from left to right.

After retreating and adjusting, Christopher judged the path of the ball and took off directly.At the same time, Zvetanovic in front of him also jumped up.Although Zvitanovic's take-off disturbed him a bit, it did not stop Christopher.

Christopher bumped his forehead firmly against the football, then tossed his head.

The football flew towards the goal immediately.

Although Luciano made adjustments early on, facing Christopher's header, he was still beyond his reach, and the football flew into the goal against the lower edge of the crossbar.

"Goooooooooal...Christopher, Christopher's goal gave Antwerp a 2-1 lead away from home. After two goals in a row, Antwerp made it 2-3 on aggregate and they just needed to score again One goal is enough to ensure promotion!"

Seeing Christopher head the ball into the goal, Verbeke immediately shouted.As an Antwerp fan, at this moment he vented his inner joy with shouts.

Antwerp fans also vented in the same way as him.

There were more than 300 fans in the field, and after King Dong scored a goal, they kept cheering there.The shouts at this moment, even the boos of Bill Short's fans, could not cover up.

"Nice job! Man, but it's not enough, not enough!"

Christopher rushed to the sidelines immediately after scoring the goal, thanking Van Aker for going.

He is very grateful to Van Aker for giving him a chance to return to the green field.

Van Acker is also very excited that Christopher can have such a performance, but such a score is not enough for them to advance to the semi-finals.

"Tell the guys to defend well for the next period of time, and don't give the opponent a chance to set the ball at the front of the penalty area. Tell Yu, control the ball!"

After a few words of advice, Van Acker asked Christopher to celebrate with his teammates.

In the 29th minute, making it 2-3 on aggregate, the hopes of promotion were greatly increased, so Antwerp's players celebrated a little longer than after the first goal.

After they returned to their own half, Bill Short's players, who had been waiting for the kick-off, started attacking immediately after the whistle blew.

While they were celebrating their goal, Christopher communicated Van Ark's arrangements to them.

So in the face of Bill Short's attack, they are already prepared.Even the three forwards who had been standing in front all retreated to the midfield and began to press.

Crowded midfield, both sides fighting for every inch of turf.

Under such circumstances, Yu Liang's characteristics were fully reflected.

Excellent judgment and running ability allowed Yu Liang to steal the ball from Bill Short's players again and again.

However, Yu Liang has also received high-standard treatment from the opponent's players during this period of time. As long as Yu Liang steals the ball, there will always be a player who comes to foul the first time and knocks Yu Liang down.

This made it impossible for Yu Liang to form an effective organization in the first place, and Bill Short killed Antwerp's counterattack very well.

"Antwerp's defense is very tenacious. Yu Liang is simply a barrier in the midfield, blocking Bill Short's passes again and again. However, Bill Short's counter-attack on the spot is also quite in place, and he did not give Antwerp a quick counterattack at all. The opportunity! This is the derby, although the game is intermittent and not entertaining, but he is full of powerful confrontation!"

The high-intensity midfield strangle did not last long.

With the exhaustion of physical energy, the players on both sides began to deliberately slow down the pressing rhythm.

And after experiencing the period of impatience caused by losing the ball, Bill Short began to deliberately strengthen the control of the rhythm to adjust his physical fitness.After Bill Short made a change, Antwerp immediately recovered its formation and played a defensive counterattack again.

The changes on both sides made the game more refreshing.

After two or three minutes of easing, Bill Short launched an attack again, trying to equalize the score before the end of the first half and add an insurance for advancing to the semi-finals.

In the 42nd minute, Sezer dribbled the ball forward in the middle, and Yu Liang posted it immediately.

The Turkish player from Leverkusen, in the first round of the match between the two sides, Biga closely guarded, and did not have much outstanding performance.This game has passed for so long, except for the well-regulated conduction, there is nothing outstanding. Even so, Yu Liang dare not take it lightly.

Facing this Turk who was about the same age as himself, Yu Liang kept exerting pressure with his body.

Unlike Hendricks, Sezer's confrontation ability is very poor, comparable to that of Yu Liang in the National Youth Team.Sure enough, under Yu Liang's pressure, Sezer couldn't hold on for a while, and fell directly to the ground.

Yu Liang immediately raised his hands to indicate that he did not push the person, but the referee still called a foul.

"Yellow card, it's a yellow card!"

"No, no, this is definitely not a yellow card!"

Hearing Sezer's appeal, Yu Liang immediately explained.

Seeing Yu Liang explaining there, Sezer showed a smile on his face. His purpose was not really to ask the referee to show Yu Liang a yellow card, but he just wanted to divert Yu Liang's attention.Seeing Yu Liang explaining beside the referee, he immediately got up and passed the ball directly.

"Hurry up! Grandpa's..."

Yu Liang, who didn't have time to explain, turned around and chased Sezer, but it was too late.

After Sezer made a cooperation with Cavens who retreated, he passed the ball directly to the left. They still wanted to open a gap on Antwerp right back Blake.

Facing the defended Blake, Kamara directly put the ball inside his instep to Montney who assisted him.The two made a wall-banging match, throwing Brack away.

Kamara, who threw off Blake and entered the penalty area, took the ball, and without waiting for adjustments, he kicked back and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Sezer, who was plugged in, faced the pass, dunked, and after dodging the angle, he directly scored with a low shot, 2-2!

Before the end of the first half, Bill Short equalized the score and rewritten the total score to 4-2!

……

The dressing room in Antwerp was quiet, and everyone was sitting in front of the wardrobe with gloomy faces, panting.

Before the game, they made bold claims that they would advance to the semi-finals of the cup.Although they were a little disappointed after conceding a goal in the opening game, they scored two goals immediately after cheering up.At that moment, it was not impossible for them to reverse the promotion.

But before the end of regular time in the first half, after Bill Short equalized the score again, they became suspicious again.

Can we really make the cut?
"Of course we can advance!"

Van Aker's words broke the silence of the locker room.

"For promotion, I have always been full of confidence! The source of this confidence is you! Because of you, I dare to claim promotion! Liverpool can create their own night in Istanbul, why can't we create our own magic night? What about the night? Guys, come on, the game is not over yet, let us create our own miracle!"

Van Aker is not the kind of manager who can motivate players with words, but he created his own miracle in the dressing room tonight, and his words once again ignited the passion of the players.

"Okay, create a miracle that belongs to us!"
