Chapter 1510 Zero Degree Angle


Chapter 1510 Zero Degree Angle

When the game reached the last ten minutes, Turin Bulls head coach Zaccaroni made another adjustment.

This time, instead of encouraging the team to attack, the team is asked to retreat to defend.

With only ten minutes left in the game, Zaccaloni also saw that it was almost impossible to draw with Madrid Pirates in the away game. Instead, it was more pragmatic to lose by one goal.

If we don't recover, we will even lose a small goal.

This does not mean that he will not compete with Madrid Pirates for first place in the group, but there are many ways to compete for first place in the group.

The best way is of course to win both games against Madrid Pirates.

The central strategy is to have one win and one loss against Madrid Pirates, and a small loss against Madrid Pirates by one goal in the away game. After returning to their home court, as long as they can win more than two goals, the Turin Bulls can still beat the opponent and win the first place in the group with the same points as Madrid Pirates.

The next best thing is to be unable to hold on to the current score of 0:1 in the away game, and be led to score more goals by the Madrid Pirates.

Zaccaroni is not a madman like Tony Clark. At this time, his reason will tell him not to go out and fight to the death with the Madrid Pirates, otherwise he will only die more miserably.

So he quickly made adjustments, allowing the team to recycle defense and shrink the defensive line. Set up the bus in front of your goal again.

I hope to be able to withstand the offensive of Madrid Pirates in the last ten minutes.

The ball now goes to Madrid Pirates coach Ettore Parotti.

Facing the shrinking and defensive Turin Bulls, should the Madrid Pirates, who are only leading by one goal, continue to press forward and attack and strive to score more goals? Or should we slow down the pace and drag out the last ten minutes of the game?

Logically speaking, as long as they can defeat the Turin Bulls at home, they will already have an advantage in the competition with their opponents.

A one-goal win and a three-goal win are both three points.

But goals scored and goal difference are indeed factors that cannot be ignored.

Who knows if one more goal and one less goal in the end will determine the group rankings of both sides?

But if they press forward and attack fiercely, people will worry about the Turin Bulls' counterattack - they are indeed ready to attack, but if there is a chance to counterattack, I believe they will not give up easily.

Parotti stood on the sidelines, observing the game and thinking.

Assistant coach Valentin stood beside him, waiting for his decision.

※※※

The Madrid Pirates launched an attack on the field, hitting the left wing to the center, and then moved from the center to the right wing.

The reason why the Madrid Pirates continue to move horizontally is naturally because in front of them, the Turin Bulls players have built two very clear lines of defense.

One line for the back and one line for the forward line.

These two lines are closely integrated as a whole, and their advance and retreat are well-founded.

The Madrid Pirates can't find any more ways to attack - it's impossible to always rely on a certain player's personal ability to form a breakthrough. When the opponent's defensive players are all in their own positions, no matter how strong their personal abilities are, they can't always rely on a certain player's personal ability to form a breakthrough. It’s not easy to pick N’s.

In addition, Maxi Carey was also substituted in the 76th minute and was replaced by Joaquin Vela.

The person with the strongest individual assault ability on the pitch for Madrid Pirates right now is Ismael Kamara.

So after a full circle, the football was passed to Kamara's feet.

※※※

After Kamara received the ball from the wing, Turin Bulls left back Alvan Arnette immediately came up and kept him in a very reasonable position, which would not allow Kamara to accelerate him with just one start. Even if it is thrown away, it will not allow Kamara to complete the cross without interference.

At the same time, the team's left midfielder Mattia Tobic was also moving closer to Kamara, but he did not press forward. He just watched from a distance and kept a suitable distance from Arnett.

After all, Tobic still has to guard against Madrid Pirates' right back Irazusta, who is indeed ready to make a move from behind.

The Turin Bulls' back line has shrunk into the penalty area, and Nazari leaned slightly closer to Arnett, still maintaining a suitable distance. In this way, if Kamara wants to force a breakthrough, even if he can get rid of Arnett with his starting speed, the football will fall into Nazari's control.

In addition, the Turin Bulls' forward line is guarded near the penalty area line, and the distance between the players' front, back, left, and right is very appropriate.

"As expected of an Italian team..."

Some Madrid Pirates fans in the stands sighed with emotion.

It looked like Kamara would either force a cross or pass the football back to regroup the offense.

Hu Lai, who was originally in front of the goal, ran around in a circle and ran out of the penalty area, trying to bring out the Turin Bulls' center back.

But neither Nazari nor Arsay were moved.

But Hu Lai did not stop running and stood outside the penalty area to watch the show.

Having already run outside the penalty area, he came back again and inserted into the penalty area from the right rib position.

His forward thrust immediately attracted Nazari's attention - Nazari was originally here to prevent a similar situation.

So he immediately moved towards the ribs, preparing to block Hu Lai.

Although Hu Lai does not have the ball at his feet now, he knows very well that Hu Lai, who runs without the ball, is the most threatening.

Kamara also noticed Hulay's movement.

It stands to reason that when being targeted by Nazari, Hulay is not a good target for passing the ball, because even if he receives the ball, it will be difficult to make a difference.

But Hulay is an important piece that can stir up the Turin Bulls' defense.

His intervention attracted Nazari's attention and also attracted the attention of others, which caused the possibility of changes and loosening of the Bulls' originally stable defense.

Kamara decided to pass the football to Hulay, and then cut inside to meet Hulay.

In his mind, the next step should be for him to pass the football to Hu Lai, and then Hu Lai use his heel to knock the football back to him. At that time, whether he shoots directly or passes the ball again, he can create chaos.

And the murderous intention is hidden in such chaos...

He passed the football hard!

After passing the ball, he ran into the penalty area.

"Kamara crosses the ball, looking for Hu Lai!"

Hu Lai sped up and ran towards the landing point of the football, then stretched out his feet to get the football out before Nazari!

He didn't stop the ball, but took advantage of it!

Nazari was caught off guard by Hu Lai - originally he planned to stand still and block the inside line.

As a result, Hu Lai even stopped and went down in one breath!

Although this leaves him with almost no shooting angle, he can make a cross!

Now Hu Lai can not only shoot, so when defending, we must also consider the possibility of his passing.

In front of the goal, there are Vukovic who drives forward, Tonini who comes from the left wing, and Kamara who cuts inside. There are many passing targets!

Nazari hurriedly caught up.

At the same time, seeing Hulay stop the ball and go down, goalkeeper Albertazzi also quickly moved to the near corner. On the one hand, he blocked Hulay's shot, and on the other hand, he guarded against Hulay's cross - of course, mainly the latter.

The ball was stopped by Hu Lai and was almost close to the baseline. The shooting angle here was zero, and there was no shooting angle at all.

Hu Lai strode to catch up with the football. He did not stop the ball, but raised his right leg while running and hit the football directly!

Nazari struggled to shovel over, trying to block Hulay's cross...

But Hu Lai didn't make the pass!

After he hit the football with the outside instep of his straight right foot, the football flew up against the baseline and towards the goal!

When Albertazzi saw Hulay kicking the ball, his whole body tilted outward, shifted his center of gravity, compressed his knees and gathered strength, preparing to block Hulay's cross...

Then at this moment, he saw the football flying towards his goal!

He was so frightened that he didn't even have time to pounce back. He just waved his left arm reflexively, trying to knock away the flying football...

But he didn't touch the ball!

The football whizzed past his body before his arm could reach it!

In the blink of an eye, he hit the inside of the far post, bounced into the net, and fell into the goal line!

Albertazzi turned around and stared at this scene dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes. He still maintained a half-kneeling posture in front of the goal line, raising his left arm - this was the saving action he had just made under conditioned reflex...

Nazari, who had just completed the tackle, was lying on his back on the ground. He was trying to support his upper body and looked towards the goal.

In fact, there is no need to look. Just from the momentum he heard, he can know the result of Hu Lai's kick just now...

The Pirates Park stadium was completely surrounded by deafening cheers, which made the heads of those who were there buzzing.

In the shouting, you can clearly hear that 80,000 people are shouting that person's name at the same time:

"Hu——Lai!!!"

Nazari knew that Hulay scored...

The players of the Turin Bulls are still in their respective positions. Their positions with each other are very suitable and reasonable. It is a mature defensive system.

But now all this is meaningless.

They stood blankly in their positions, as if the stone statues had been abandoned for a long time in the wasteland, the "relics" left behind after Hu Lai scored.

The man who made them do this opened his arms and ran along the goal line towards the corner flag area. He ran past goalkeeper Albertazzi and passed through the "relics" with the excited Pirates behind him.

In front of them, Hu Lai leaped high...

"HUUUUU!!!"(End of Chapter)
