Chapter 1840 Caesar’s desperate situation

"Seleus!"

Caesar, who was sitting on the bench, heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he saw the assistant coach hooking him.

"Ready to play!"

So he quickly stood up and took off his sports coat.

When this scene appeared on the TV broadcast, commentators from various countries almost said in unison:

"Caesar is coming!"

Although on the Internet, "The Great" Caesar has been ridiculed and criticized, and it seems that he has changed from the top star of the "Four Kings" to the top shame.

But whether they are scolding him or ridiculing him, they all have to admit one thing, that is - Selius Caesar is still a star with great traffic.

Otherwise, why would they scold him and ridicule him?

Isn't it because he got traffic by scolding him and ridiculing him?

Selius Caesar's every move is still the focus of everyone's attention.

Whether he starts or not can become a topic of debate among the media and fans before the game.

Every move he made on the court was accompanied by an endless quarrel between those who defended him and those who attacked him.

Although it was just an appearance, he had not yet performed in any way, and even though in the weekend's Italian national derby, Caesar did not show a convincing enough performance.

But just appearing on the scene is still enough to lift everyone's spirits - those who support him are happy for him, and those who hate him are ready to find fault.

"There are twenty-five minutes left in the game, and the score is still 0:0. The defense of the Turin Bulls is still very solid, but the problem still lies in the offense. At this time, Caesar was replaced, and the head coach of the Turin Bulls, Zaccaroni Obviously hoping to use Caesar's experience to help the team..."

If what the commentator said was relatively tactful, then the next commentator was very straightforward:

"I think Zaccaroni is seeking medical treatment out of pure illness. Caesar started the last round of the league and played for more than 60 minutes. How did he perform? Everyone is watching. Now the team's The offense is in trouble, how can he still think of changing the offense by replacing Caesar? I wonder if Zaccaroni did not direct that game and had such an illusion!”

"I know it doesn't sound good to say this, but I still want to say it - both Caesar himself and his supporters should recognize this reality clearly: Selius Caesar is no longer the omnipotent emperor he once was. 'Well, in the football world, he is just a fading person. Old man. He should sit in a rocking chair and bask in the sun leisurely, enjoying his retired life with no worries about food and clothing, instead of continuing to stay on the court and fight with a group of young people who are ten to ten years younger than him. This is not true. Decent, not decent at all.”

When Caesar ended his warm-up and came on as a substitute, there were twenty minutes left before the end of the game.

The score is still 0:0, and the total score is 1:0.

The home team Sporting Amsterdam leads by one goal.

But this is not safe.

However, after seeing Caesar come on the stage, the home team fans still cheered.

"Obviously when the Amsterdam Athletic fans saw this substitution, they thought they were going to win!"

A commentator joked.

During the cheers, Chen Xingyi turned his attention to Caesar who ran onto the field.

The latter is conveying the latest instructions from the head coach to his teammates on the field.

Chen Xingyi's focus is not on what adjustments the Turin Bulls head coach has made, but on Caesar.

This former one of the Four Heavenly Kings has indelible traces of time on his face.

But his hair is still as meticulously styled as it was in his youth.

He also grew up watching Caesar play football...

I didn’t expect that at the age of 27, I would still have the opportunity to compete with my childhood idol on the court.

People on the Internet are scolding him for why he hasn't retired yet, but Chen Xingyi is grateful that he hasn't retired yet. Otherwise, how could he have the opportunity to appear on the same court as Caesar?

He has made up his mind that no matter what the outcome of this game is, he is going to exchange jerseys with Caesar.

Because this may be his last chance.

Even if Caesar does not retire next season, he may not be able to meet him in the Champions League.

After Caesar came on the court, the Turin Bulls played more simply and roughly.

Facing the shrinking defense of Sporting Amsterdam, they directly passed the ball from the wing to find the forwards in front of the goal.

In the 74th minute, the Turin Bulls got a chance to pass from the wing.

The team's right back Tobias Lovisa took the ball on the thirty-meter line and was unmarked.

He decisively made a pass!

At that time, Atlético Amsterdam's defense was still in the process of retreating, and it was not completely in place.

Caesar found this space keenly with his outstanding experience.

At the same time as Lovisa passed the ball, he suddenly ran forward, shot out from the middle of the Amsterdam Athletic defense line, and appeared alone behind the Amsterdam Athletic defenders!

"Oh opportunity!"

the commentators shouted.

When those who support the Turin Bulls and Caesar saw this scene, they couldn't help but think of Caesar's goal to save the team.

But when Caesar jumped up with all his strength, he didn't hit the ball!

It’s not that the judgment of the landing point of the football is inaccurate, but that the take-off height is not enough...

The football flew directly above his head and then flew out of the baseline!

"Ouch——!!"

"It's faked! Caesar actually faked it!"

"Caesar missed the ball!? This is an excellent opportunity!"

There was no look of annoyance on Caesar's face when he missed the great opportunity. Instead, after landing, Lovisa turned around and passed the ball to him and gave him a thumbs up.

It looked like what just happened was just a normal part of the game.

But in the eyes of the audience, this was not a normal scene.

"The Great" Caesar, when he ran into space and was unmarked, jumped up and charged towards the top, but he didn't even touch the ball!

This is definitely not normal!

"Caesar... didn't jump up... No, he jumped up, but not high enough... Did Lovisa pass the ball too big? No, it was a very beautiful pass. It's just that the three who ran into the space to grab the point were Eighteen-year-old Caesar, if he is 28 years old... No, even if it is 34-year-old Caesar, the ball is already in the goal of Atlético Amsterdam..."

I don’t know how many Caesar fans shed tears and felt sad when they heard this explanation.

But at this moment, there was a burst of laughter in the stands.

The Amsterdam Athletic fans who had escaped death began to chant in unison:

"Francis! Aylmer! Cerrados!"

……

They repeated the names of three of the "Four Heavenly Kings" over and over again, but did not mention Caesar.

This is a satire that Caesar is just a make-up, meaning that Caesar is not worthy to be compared with these three people.

When they shouted this, the TV broadcast also cut to Caesar.

He frowned slightly, and the expression on his face was really ugly.

I don’t know if he was because of the shouts of the fans or if he was worried about the fate of the team.

Seven minutes later.

Eighty-one minutes.

The Turin Bulls successfully stole the ball in the backcourt and they launched a counterattack.

Caesar, who was originally in the center, saw the ball changing hands and immediately moved laterally, running from the center to the right rib.

At the same time, the Argentinian midfielder Luciano Ferrero of the Turin Bulls pushed the football straight over, looking for the space in front of Caesar!

"The Bull of Turin counterattacks! Caesar!"

Caesar was the first to receive the ball, he pushed the football out hard, and then started to accelerate to catch up.

This scene has been played out countless times before. Once Caesar gets up to speed, it's basically a one-shot attack.

At his peak, Caesar had excellent long-distance acceleration ability. Giving him such a large space in front of him was no different than seeking death.

Even if the defensive players try hard to catch up, they can only eat dust behind his back.

But this time things are a little different.

Atletico Amsterdam's left-back Knossbanda also struggled to catch up.

And gradually caught up from lagging behind!

When Caesar caught up with the football at the front of the penalty area, he put the ball into the penalty area again.

Then he was squeezed in by Sibanda, stuck between him and the football!

Caesar tried to overtake, his hands on Sibanda's shoulders, but failed.

Seeing that he was about to lose the ball completely, Caesar, who was a little angry, pushed Sibanda down with both hands, and then took the opportunity to surpass him to control the ball!

Harsh whistles and boos sounded at the same time.

"Caesar's pushing foul!"

Atlético Amsterdam's center back Jesper Ivensson rushed forward first and stood up for his teammate: "What are you doing?!"

His aggressive look also caused a stress reaction from the Turin Bulls players. Forward Pedro Grazzini immediately stepped between him and Caesar, yelling: "Stay away!"

Players from both sides ran up and pushed each other.

The score was only one goal away, and both the Amsterdam Athletic players and the Turin Bulls players were very nervous.

It's like a powder keg, ready to explode.

"Eh? This action of Caesar is not friendly enough! This ball was first caused by him losing control after his own speed dropped. Sibanda's cut was very clean... and he reached out to push it down when he was already destined to not get the ball. Sibanda can only show that Caesar is anxious..."

"Such counterattack opportunities were eventually blocked. 'The Emperor' is really old... Look at his running steps and kicks. It's obvious that his strength is not as strong as before. It's really sad..."

In the replay, Caesar gritted his teeth and sprinted, with a ferocious expression and veins popping out on his neck. However, the distance between him and Sibanda was gradually shortened, and eventually the opponent overtook and cut in, squeezing in front of him...

※※※

When the players from both sides clashed, the TV broadcast also took the time to show a shot in front of the Turin Bulls coaching bench.

Bulls head coach Matteo Zaccaloni in the camera neither angrily complained to the fourth official nor anxiously reminded his players to hurry up and not fall into the opponent's trap of delaying time. Instead, he looked up to the sky and sighed.

It was as if the team's failure had been foreseen.

Although there was only one goal missing, the ball was like a chasm, standing in front of his team, preventing them from making any progress.

This is the team's "desperate situation."

When faced with such desperate situations in the past, he could always trust Caesar, who would definitely be able to bring the team out of desperate situations with his super personal ability.

While gaining another victory, he also received admiration and praise from the media and fans.

But this time, even Caesar himself was stuck in the quagmire and couldn't extricate himself. How could he still turn the tide? (End of chapter)
