[Football] Crown of Thorns

"Now the game has begun."

"Liverpool took the kick-off first, and midfielder Lucas gave the ball to Vasco da Gama with a light push..."

Gama took the ball, and he controlled the rhythm a bit. After observing the running position of his teammates, Gama took the ball and took two steps. right road.

After receiving the ball, Suarez flickered and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

At this time, Stoke City's No. 17 Shawcross stepped forward to defend Suarez. It was obvious that he was easily broken by Suarez... In a hurry, Shawcross pulled Suarez to the ground, and when Suarez fell After getting down, Shawcross looked at Suarez on the ground in shock, and then at the referee Webber who blew the whistle. He stretched his arms and showed annoyed expression on his face.

Less than 1 minute into the game, Uruguay striker Suarez of the Red Army broke into the penalty area on the right and was pulled down by defender Shawcross. The referee on duty, Webber, decisively awarded a penalty and gave Shawcross a yellow card.

Suarez won a penalty kick for Liverpool and was about to take the penalty kick. Suarez looked at Gerrard, stepped back and said that the penalty kick would be taken by Gerrard.

Gerrard laughed at Suarez's humility and stood on the penalty kick.

The onlookers from both sides paid attention to Gerrard behind the penalty spot.

Gerrard took a deep breath, took two steps back, then trotted two steps and kicked up. He switched feet halfway and hit again. Wrong direction, Gerrard penalty hit.

0-1, Liverpool temporarily leads Stoke City.

The Red Army fans at the scene gave cheers, and Gerrard also smiled and gave his teammates high-fives to celebrate.

While Gerrard was celebrating his goal, a shot from the stands behind the home team's bench suddenly appeared on the live screen, and a man who was very familiar to people on the scene and in front of the TV appeared on the screen.

There were boos and sighs from the stands.

Gerrard's gaze also turned to that side, and he and the man in a suit sitting in the stands over there met their gazes across the space between the net and Gerrard looked away a second later.

He didn't really want to see that familiar old friend appear in front of his eyes, but whenever that old friend appeared in front of him, he still couldn't help but glance at it.

At this time, Jia Ma who ran over to give Jie Baozi a high-five directly blocked Gerald's sight.

After the high-five, Gama pressed his lips next to Gerrard's ear and whispered, "Steven, let's shoot the goal when we get back!"

"what?"

Jie Baozi was stunned for a moment, but Jia Ma ran away after finishing speaking.

"Stoke City put Crouch on the bench for this game... Owen, who was rumored to be back before, did not make the squad for the game. It seems that the rumor that he sprained his ankle in the gym is true."

"...Stoke City have maintained an unbeaten 15 games at home in the past games. In these 15 games, they have achieved a good record of 7 wins and 8 draws. In the last 8 rounds of the league, they have 4 Wins, 4 draws and remain unbeaten. This excellent record is mainly due to the excellent performance of the team's defense. The defense line composed of Begovic, Cameron, Huth, Shawcross and Wilkinson has become the most impressive in the Premier League. Reassuring defense. Especially the goalkeeper Begovic, he has 18 clean sheets in 9 games this season, which currently ranks first in the Premier League."

"However, I heard that before the just-opened winter transfer window, there were indeed frequent rumors of his transfer with Liverpool in the media..."

In the commentary room, the host was talking about Stoke City goalkeeper Begovic who had just scored a penalty kick.

On the field, Stoke City, which was broken, is launching an attack.

However, their attack this time came to an end very quickly, and the outgoing football was intercepted by Gama near the center circle and returned to the previous point.

Suso, No. 30 of the Red Army, rushed forward to get the ball. This handsome 18-year-old Spanish guy is tall but not slow in his reaction. Cameron shoveled.

The referee Webb fouled Cameron with a shovel and issued another yellow card.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, the home team has already received two yellow cards.

The position where Suso fell to the ground was not in the penalty area, so the referee Weber did not award a penalty kick, but gave a frontcourt set kick.

Gerrard walked over calmly and prepared to take the set kick.

This made Jia Ma a little upset, "Hey!"

He stood beside Gerrard and shouted, although his voice was not loud.

Gerald waved his hand, ignoring Gama's small protest.

cut!

Jia Ma hummed twice and walked away.

Don't you just want to show your skills in front of the divorced 'first spouse' to show your retaliation for the content of the other party's interview, stupid man!

Then, the goal missed and was directly hugged by the opposing goalkeeper Begovic.

Then the home team launched a quick counterattack.

Goalkeeper Begovic threw the ball vigorously, and the home team launched an attack with a long pass from the backcourt to the center circle. Jones responded with a header and Ferry, Walters broke into the penalty area and shook the Red Army goalkeeper before volleying.

1-1, Stoke City tied the score.

In the 6th minute of the first half, Stoke City used a quick counterattack to equalize the score.

Gama slapped his forehead. This time, he was too careless. He missed the opponent in the middle and caused the opponent to pass the ball openly.

shame.

Although it is impossible for a player to keep a clear mind all the time on the field, he was... ashamed at the beginning of the game.

Re-tee.

Gama dribbled the ball from the middle and suddenly rushed into the home team's half and knocked the ball across to Lucas.

Lucas made another pass with a hook. Gama bypassed the opponent's defender and then caught the ball in the air for a long pass. Gerrard paused after taking the ball.

Because Gama scored too fast with the ball, his teammate was not in an open position, which made Gerrard slow down a little before he kicked the ball through. His through ball was very clever. , The pass from the opponent's players just tore through the opponent's defense, but it's a pity that his full-back Johnson rushed too fast...offside!

Ahem, Jia Ma gave Jie Baozi a reproachful look.

Jie Baozi made an embarrassing gesture - although his through ball just now was very beautiful, the best way to deal with that ball should be to pass backwards, because they attacked too fast, and the speed of his teammates was also a bit too fast, the home team The offside tactic of the defense is very timely!

Perhaps the Red Army's overly aggressive attack had the opposite effect, and it was the home team who scored next.

Stoke City's counterattack failed, but they got a corner kick.

The home team's No. 6 Whelan took a corner kick on the left, and Jones, who was standing in the front point, grabbed the spot and directly hit the goal with a header.

The football went straight to the near corner and the score became 2-1.

Stoke City overtook the score.

Once again, the audience burst into deafening cheers.

rely on it!

Jia Ma blinked, a little unbelievable that today they were so easily scored twice by their opponents.

Taking a breath, Gama glanced at the home team players who were celebrating, and walked to the kick-off point in the middle circle.

Jie Baozi gestured to Jia Ma, and Jia Ma nodded.

Red Army coach Rodgers frowned on the sidelines. He looked a little confused and wondered why the team lost the ball so quickly today?

Closing his eyes and opening them again, the expression on Jia Ma's face became more and more serious.

Perhaps it is because he is still not satisfied with the performance of the team or his teammates. He feels that he has been a little slack in the game recently, which is not acceptable.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, Gama stepped on the football, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle.

The game continues.

After making an extraordinary cooperation with Lucas, Gama dribbled the ball from the wing and drove straight down to the bottom line of the home team.

Gama knocked the ball back to Tang Ning, Tang Ning turned around and hit the ball to Suarez.

Suarez hit the goal directly after receiving the pass from Downing, but the ball was blocked by the opponent's defender.

The football flew to the other side, but it missed the touchline, and Suso ran to block the ball back.

The returned ball was caught by Tang Ning, who happened to be near the bottom line on the right side. After checking the situation on the field, Tang Ning passed the ball back.

Gama stopped the ball with his chest, leaning his back against his opponent, stepping on the ball with his feet and pounced forward and then retreated. This made Cameron, who was pushing against him, lose strength and almost fell, but Gama took it as a support and directly pressed against him. His body was caught in a circle, but the ball at Gama's feet had already been passed.

"De Gama is the opponent, but his ball control and turning movements are really beautiful."

Gama's ingenious series made the home commentator couldn't help but say this.

It's a pity that Gama's pass was accidentally slipped by Suso when he ran to catch the ball and missed the best shot.

It was a pity in my heart, but Jia Ma still showed a little smile and ran over to pull up his teammate Suso.

Hey, I can also call my teammates "little teammates"!

Jia Ma, who silently complained about himself, pulled his lips, and quickly ran to the vicinity of the middle circle.

Immediately after the home team's offense lost the ball, Gama vigorously made a long pass to the front point. Unfortunately, Johnson stopped the ball too much in the penalty area and missed a single-handed opportunity.

Breathe in, breathe in, don't get angry.

Johnson was a nice guy, really, really a nice guy...

"I'm going to be mad."

Jia Ma followed behind the retreating Johnson like a ghost, and said such a sinister sentence, which scared the little friend and almost fell over.

The black boy showed his white teeth, "I will try my best."

Hehe~~~~

The ghost Gama disappeared with a whoosh.

He has already quickly ran towards where the football fell. Well, he ran faster than his family's retreating defenders.

Etherington of the home team saw that he couldn't make it through and directly kicked the goal in the middle.

His long shot was out of the baseline by Red Army goalkeeper Renato.

"Reina's response is still very timely, compared to Jones..."

The home commentator commented on Reina's reaction just now.

Reina yelled at his defenders twice after getting the ball thrown by the ball boy on the sidelines.

Seeing this, Jia Ma turned and left.

The ball is passed.

Gama received the ball and passed it diagonally to the right, Suso took the ball from the right and went straight, Suarez cut in the middle... His start was slow and he missed a single chance again.

This time the home team's defense made consecutive mistakes, but unfortunately none of the Red Army players were able to seize the opportunity.

Gama then inhale, inhale.

Stealing the ball, hitting hard, and passing again, Gama and Lucas played an exquisite combination of passing and catching the ball one after another. Tang Ning broke through from the left and passed the ball back. Gerrard followed up from the front of the penalty area and blasted the goal vigorously.

The ball went a little wide and slid out of the baseline next to the post.

Although the attack this time failed to achieve results, they cooperated well anyway.

That's right.

Everyone nodded.

Gama: ...Did I mention you guys?

The Red Army attacked again, this time from the left.

Lucas knocked across, Gerrard went straight, Gama made a misplaced cross, Downing sent a wonderful pass from the left, Suarez caught the ball in the air and hit the goal directly, the ball went over the bar.

Three minutes later, it was another subtle pass from the Red Army. This time, Suso received a pass from Suarez. He hit a goal kick in the penalty area and was blocked by the defender.

corner kick.

Gama ran to serve the corner kick.

No one is robbing him of this.

He sent the ball to the front side of the goal, Suarez hit the goal from a small angle, and the ball was confiscated by Begovic.

In the next 1 minute, Gerrard fired an anti-aircraft gun from a long distance.

Suarez's long-range shot was also fell to the ground by Begovic.

This scene is so familiar!

Jia Ma ha ha... really fucking hell.

The author has something to say:

PS: Maybe Gama looks aggrieved at the moment, but after all, he is still a rookie here, and the Red Army is a place where the team's qualifications are more valued. Sometimes he can't be too sharp...but it will happen soon It will get better, trust me! (eyes wide open)

PS: My kitten had a fever for several days in a row, and was taken to the doctor to hang a bottle, and the little face lost weight just looking at it, pitiful~~~ I have worked so hard to accompany her.My luck does not seem to be very good this year, is it better to say goodbye?
