Chapter 1364: A knife in the heart
"Beautiful! Chen Xingyi! He went in! Crossed! Abiles...the ball - went in!!! Good goal! Good goal!"
It is rare for Chinese fans to see He Feng shouting so excitedly after Hu Lai's team lost the ball.
But they all understand.
Because this goal was assisted by Chen Xingyi!
And to put it bluntly, 95% of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Chen Xingyi.
Without his previous series of excellent breakthroughs, tearing apart and disrupting the Madrid Pirates' defense, how could Abiles win an opportunity to shoot unguarded?
The most important thing is that Chen Xingyi, who was sleepwalking in the first half, disappeared, and everyone saw that dazzling edge again!
This assist means that Chen Xingyi is playing normally!
"Okay! Son, okay!!"
Chen Hantang waved his fists and shouted in the stands. He was inconspicuous.
Because everyone around him is like him.
It's just that they didn't call Chen Xingyi "son" like him...
No one knew that the Chinese man next to them was Chen Xingyi's father and agent.
The huge stone in Chen Hantang's heart finally fell to the ground.
In his opinion, as long as there is such an assist in this game, even if it is a guaranteed result, no matter how bad the evaluation is, it will not be much worse.
More importantly, this assist will greatly reduce the pressure on his son's heart and help him perform in the next game.

"He seemed to come to life," Bellucci said to Munster.
Munster finally showed a smile on his face, then walked to the sidelines, blew his whistle hard, and shouted to the court: "Star! Star!"
When Chen Xingyi glanced at him, he raised his thumb high and praised his performance in this attack.
After praising Chen Xingyi, Munster made a gesture to the whole team, asking them to take this opportunity to strengthen their offensive and press forward more boldly to further squeeze the Madrid Pirates' defense and flatten their formation. To get more shooting opportunities.
After Madrid Pirates kicked off, the game continued.
The Athletic Amsterdam team, which had just equalized the score, had high morale and launched an attack on the Madrid Pirates goal.
The Pirates who lost the ball could only avoid its edge and hold on for the first time.
After all, this is the home court of Sporting Amsterdam, and home field advantage is sometimes so unreasonable.
Even in terms of paper strength, the Madrid Pirates are better.
Now I can only squat down obediently and let Atlético Amsterdam attack.
Parotti's arrangement at halftime was ruined...
He originally planned to let his team score goals at the beginning of the second half. If they could lead by two goals, even if they were pulled back by one goal by Atlético Amsterdam, the players' mentality would be much calmer.
Who knew that it was not them who scored first, but Atlético Amsterdam, and they scored just four minutes into the game.
It was too fast, and the Madrid Pirates were fooled.
※※※
Chen Xingyi's assist proved to his teammates that what he said at halftime was true, and he had indeed gotten rid of his poor performance in the first half.
So in subsequent attacks, he was still entrusted with important tasks.
Also because of that assist, the intensity of the defense he encountered was still not low.
However, Chen Xingyi's mentality was different from the first half.
No matter how strong the defense he faces, he will not back down.
When Silverio came up to him immediately after he got the ball, Chen Xingyi did not choose to pass back, but continued to accelerate with the ball, seemingly trying to compete with Silverio.
Silverio's speed is not particularly fast, but he is definitely not slow either. In addition, there is Irazusta waiting in front of him, so Silverio is not afraid of competing with Chen Xingyi.
He didn't have to do anything, just keep running next to Chen Xingyi. When he and Erasusta meet up, they can block Chen Xingyi in a dead end.
But just when the two were about to meet Irazusta, Chen Xingyi, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly stepped on the ball and stopped!
Silvilio, who was unable to stop the car, crashed into Errazusta who was just around the corner.
The Pirates' right wing was in such a mess that they lost their defensive goal.
Fortunately, Juan Ramirez has been paying close attention to the situation here.
He kept a very appropriate distance and saw Silverio and Irazusta being thrown away by Chen Xingyi. The latter had the momentum to cut inside and then change direction to break through, so he stepped forward in time and took advantage of Chen Xingyi to gain a foothold. Steal the ball with your foot when it is not stable.
The football was kicked by him and hit Chen Xingyi's calf. It bounced back and hit his body. It bounced again and flew out of the sideline...
Ramirez successfully stopped Chen Xingyi, but gave Atlético Amsterdam a throw-in from the side of the penalty area.
"What a pity! But it doesn't matter! As the world's top defensive midfielder, Ramirez is indeed difficult to deal with. But isn't that the point of playing in the Champions League?" He Feng saw Chen Xingyi's expression of regret, He comforted him.
"In this highest-level arena, fight against those truly strong opponents, test your own quality, find your own shortcomings, and continue to work hard... Only in this way can you continue to improve. Come on, Chen Xingyi! I won't pass this time. It doesn’t matter, just come back!”

Wang Guangwei in the group sighed with emotion: "In the last game, Ramirez defended Melli in the same way, so the little star didn't pass this time, which is actually not embarrassing at all..."
Zhang Qinghuan: "Of course it's not shameful. Is it awesome? It can make Ramirez give up the defense in the middle and come to the wing to focus on the little star. Even if he gets the ball stolen, it is still a very powerful performance. This shows that Ramirez Reis is really afraid of him!”
As someone who was once defended by Ramirez in a game, Zhang Qinghuan naturally knows how powerful Ramirez is.
It's not the title of "the top three defensive midfielders in the world", but the actual feeling during the game, the pressure and the straightforward energy of the confrontation, which impressed Zhang Qinghuan deeply and made him miserable.
Junpei Morikawa is also a defensive midfielder. When he saw Ramirez, he seemed to see his goal: "I hope I can be like this in the future. Just a name can scare the opponent out of fear!"
"I'm not saying that little Xingxing was frightened..."
Zhang Qinghuan teased: "It's okay if you don't add this, Morikawa..."
Wang Guangwei: "It's okay. Anyway, Little Star is playing now and I can't see it. Say whatever you want!"
Junpei Morikawa: "[covers face] I really didn't mean that..."
Xia Xiaoyu: "But Brother Chen attracted Ramirez to the wing and ribs. Does that mean that Atletico Amsterdam has a chance in the middle?"
As an organizer, Xia Xiaoyu will also act as himself when watching the game and think about how to break the game.
※※※
Just as Xia Xiaoyu guessed, after the foul ball was thrown this time, Chen Xingyi did not copy the previous assist on the wing. He became a cover. After attracting Ramirez, he passed the football sideways.
Although there was no breakthrough, but a cross pass, such a cross pass was obviously not the same concept as his cross pass and return pass in the first half.
His cross pass directly hit the weak defensive position of the Madrid Pirates, which was equivalent to a cross.
When Abiles received a pass from Chen Xingyi in the middle, there was only one Joaquin Vela beside him.
Compared with Ramirez, Joaquin Vela gave Abiles much less pressure.
He made a slight adjustment and shot directly!
"Abels...long shot——! Hywel!!"
"Hoo——!"
Accompanied by huge exclamations from the stands, the father of Madrid Pirates goalkeeper Hewel rose into the air and lifted the football over the crossbar with one hand.
"Hai Daddy!!" Countless Chinese fans in front of the TV made such an affectionate call at this moment.
"A little bit of work, a whole lot of work!" Yan Kang commented, "Chen Xingyi is like an eye in the formation. After he opened up the situation here, other places in Atlético Amsterdam also became active. Now the Madrid Pirates will face Faced with a dilemma, should Ramirez stay on the wing to contain Chen Xingyi or return to the center to defend Abiles? "
※※※
Ramirez does face such a problem.
Joaquin Vela obviously cannot fill the gap left by him in the center, and the defensive task in the center is not light. It is difficult for Joaquin Vela to cover all the space in the center by himself.
After much deliberation, Ramirez decided to return to the center. Although Chen Xingyi was active on the wing, he was still a wing player after all.
If you want to threaten the goal, you always have to have the football come to the center.
Therefore, as long as he stays in the middle, the risks caused by Chen Xingyi's activeness can be greatly reduced.
Atlético Amsterdam's corner kick was cleared by Pirates center back Amantegui with a header.
However, Athletic Amsterdam controlled the second goal outside the penalty area and they reorganized their attack.
Abiles ran back from the corner flag area and received a pass from his teammate.
Ramirez stayed in front of him, keeping his position just right so that Abiles could not dribble into the penalty area. If he wanted to take a shot, he could step forward in time to block the opponent's shooting angle. .
However, Abiles neither wanted to shoot nor break through with the ball, but directly passed the ball!
The football drew an arc and flew straight away.
That's the weak side of the Buccaneers' defense.
Then a figure suddenly appeared!
"Chen Xingyi!"
He Feng shouted excitedly.
The Amsterdam Athletic fans in the stands were also cheering.
Amid the growing cheers, Chen Xingyi suddenly appeared from behind the Pirates' defense.
Errazusta turned around following the football, only to find that Chen Xingyi was already there with his chest puffed out, ready to stop the ball!
He rushed forward hastily.
Chen Xingyi put the football against him with his chest and lightly touched it, and the football passed him by!
The person who passed by him was Chen Xingyi - he stopped the ball with his chest and moved horizontally to block Errazusta behind him, and then he swung his right leg...
The football that he used to pad with his chest fell down, and his right foot followed suit, hitting the football firmly with the instep of his instep!
Bang!
A little outside the corner of the small penalty area, Chen Xingyi's semi-volley shot with great force went straight to the back corner of the goal! This time, even Dad Hai could do nothing to deal with the volley that was so close - he didn't even make a save, he just raised his hand on the spot... and the ball went in!
