Football: The immortal legend on the green field

"I just kicked the ball casually, it was not intentional. He insulted me verbally and I got angry at the moment, so I kicked the ball to vent my anger. I didn't mean to hurt anyone." Gerasimov hurriedly explained to the referee who was coming over.

The referee looked at Gerasimov deeply, waved his hand and said, "Continue the game!"

Shen Bin looked at Gerasimov in astonishment. This guy is so bold!

The fan was going crazy and was about to flip over on the sidelines, but was held down by the security guards.

"Isn't he afraid of fans rioting?" Tiote was still frightened.

Shen Bin did not answer Tiote's question, but just said something irrelevant, "Pay attention to this Russian, his footwork is really accurate!"

Tiote: “…”

After this episode, both players calmed down a little.

In particular, Gerasimov, who had been hot-headed before, now calmed down.

Due to the lack of harassment from Shinji Kagawa, Gerasimov handed Deng Zhuoxiang to the back line and began to defend Shen Bin himself. When his team gained possession of the ball, he began to sort out the chaotic Roda JC midfield, and Roda JC's offensive gradually increased.

The two sides began to balance on both offense and defense.

The game continued until halftime.

Before the start of the second half, Hallam Athletic made a substitution, replacing veteran Jeans with Gular. The game was almost halfway through, and a one-goal lead was not safe and could not be maintained by defense. In order to suppress the gradually gaining momentum of Roda JC's attack, the only way to curb the opponent's unscrupulous attack was to increase the pressure on them.

The second half of the game also began.

The second half was kicked off by Hallam Athletic.

Howard passed the ball to Gular, the opponent's forward pressed forward, Gular continued to pass the ball back, Shen Bin received the ball, the opponent's forward quickly followed up again, Shen Bin lowered his shoulders, deceiving the opponent's center of gravity to the left, and Shen Bin dribbled the ball from the right.

Howard, Junior and Gural all ran across the opponent's half. Since Shinji Kagawa was not there, Deng Zhuoxiang retreated to provide support.

When Gerasimov saw the direction Deng Zhuoxiang was running, he followed him directly.

He knew very well what would happen if the two Chinese cooperated with each other and the passing became smooth.

Deng Zhuoxiang moved aside, but Gerasimov was still following him. Deng Zhuoxiang turned to look at Gerasimov and suddenly said, "There's space behind!"

"what?"

Gerasimov was puzzled.

The next second, Shen Bin made a direct pass, which was a ground pass.

The ball flew rapidly over the lawn and accurately flew into the gap created by Deng Zhuoxiang.

There, Gular made a diagonal run forward, using his speed to leave the full-back behind him, and kicked the ball to Junior who was already moving towards the center.

The ball fell to Junior's feet, and he chose to force a breakthrough on the left.

And he did successfully dribble past Roda JC right-back Verhes and continued to cut inside.

Howard ran to the right in the penalty area, creating an opening for Junior.

Junior followed up with a long shot.

"boom!"

This shot was so straight!

The goalkeeper dived sideways and held the ball tightly in his arms.

"Oh. Shit..."

Junior pulled at his dreadlocks in annoyance. He knew that the shot was not good and felt a little annoyed about it.

But he quickly gave thumbs up to Gural and Harward, saying that the ball was run and passed well.

On the other side, Gerasimov was a little confused.

He followed the opponent's frontcourt key figure, but Haarlem's offense was still so smooth, which was different from what the coach said before the game! Didn't they say that Haarlem's frontcourt players didn't like the Brazilian? Didn't they say that even if he had a good position, Haarlem's players would not pass the ball to him?

Of course it's different! Gular knew that his violations of discipline had been known to the coaching staff. He and Junior were removed from the main lineup, and Sterling and Bernardo Cano, who were originally iron substitutes, were even cleared out of the 18-man roster. Now he finally had the opportunity to prove himself on the court. If he couldn't seize it, his future might be ruined as Shen Bin said. Now he regretted it to death.

When he came on the court, he secretly made up his mind that he must handle every ball in the most reasonable way in order to gain the coach's approval and regain the coach's trust. As for whether Junior could handle the ball well after it was passed, that was not his concern.

Roda JC goalkeeper threw the ball to the left back. Normally, Gular, as the right center back, should have followed up to harass the full-back and the entire defense line to buy time to adjust the back line. Gular started to intercept, but he, who was always incredibly fast, did not keep up with the opponent's full-back. He just felt his whole body sinking, and every step was very difficult. His legs felt like they were filled with lead and were very heavy. The long-distance run just now had exhausted his little energy, and at this time, he was unable to make a second start.

The full-back took a few steps and passed the ball directly forward along the wing. The winger received the ball and faced Al Barrow, who played as a main player for the first time.

"Oops!" Shen Bin ran to the wing at the fastest speed to fill the position for El Barrow. In the Netherlands' all-out attack and defense tactics, the speed of each team on the wing must be good. With Shen Bin's pitiful speed, how could he fill the position in time? The other players in the midfield and frontcourt were in an offensive posture and had not adjusted in time. Even the back line was not in the best defensive position where they should be.

Such an extremely simple goalkeeper hand-throwing tactic actually miraculously broke through the defense line of Haarlem Athletic, which Roda JC never expected to have such a good thing.

The two forwards and attacking midfielder of Roda JC quickly ran towards the penalty area of ​​Haarlem Athletic. The back line of Haarlem Athletic also quickly retreated to defend, and there was chaos in the penalty area.

The left forward of Roda JC changed direction and passed the rushing El Barrow, and dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area. At this time, Shen Bin had just arrived, and when he was about 3 meters away from the opponent, the opponent had already kicked the ball to the middle.

There was a burst of cheers from Roda JC fans in the stands. This kind of game was what they wanted to see. No one cursed anymore. They all focused on watching the home team's attack. However, if there was no good result, the curses would resound throughout the stadium again.

Fortunately, they didn't have the chance to curse their teammates.

The cross flew into the penalty area, and Roda JC's center forward overpowered Aleister and made a powerful header. Goalkeeper Sasa jumped high and hit the ball out. The ball fell exactly two meters in front of Gerasimov. Gerasimov made a sliding tackle, and the ball passed through the gap between people and flew into the lower left corner of the goal.

1:1. Roda JC equalized the score just 3 minutes into the second half.

The stadium roared like a tsunami, and the fan who was hit by the ball in the first half also shouted loudly, but his swollen face was hissing with pain. He suddenly realized that the person who scored the goal was the one who abused him, and his face fell again.

Never mind, let’s celebrate the goal first, and then shout with our teammates around us.
