Chapter 124: A Second of Silence (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Onlookers were not optimistic about Glory's attack, it was a clear dead end - he broke into a dead end!
Or a well-constructed trap for flamenco!
But Rongguang didn't seem to realize that there was a dead end in front of him, and he didn't stop after completing the turn, and after catching up with the football, his right shoulder sank suddenly!
Fabinho, another Flamengo defender who was defending him head-on, was originally going to rush up to stop Glory, but he was stunned when he saw him like this.
Left or right?
His body subconsciously turned to his left, which was the direction of Glory's right shoulder.
But at this moment, Glory's left foot flicked the football to the left, and he also ran over.
Change direction!
※※※
"Stop him! Surround him! Julio Cesar, who was in front of the door, shouted nervously, his voice trembling a little.
After being scored twice in a row by Glory, he now has an inexplicable fear of the rookie.
Because I don't know what the glory of the road will do next. Do you continue to break through, or do you shoot?
Continuing to break through was certainly what he wanted, so that his teammates could surround him and put an end to this attack, just like that time......
In fact, there was no need for him to shout, the other flamengo players had already poured in from all directions.
Surround the glory, just like in a young footballer.
Glory alone is surrounded by five flamengo players.
At this time, they couldn't care about defending the others, what Fabiano, what Kaka, what Ricardinho...... I can't take care of it.
Because in today's circumstances, there is no one in all of St. Paul more dangerous than glory!
※※※
Nelson Baptista was also nervous, but after seeing as many as five flamengo players rushing towards him, the heart in his throat slowly fell.
Surrounded by five people...... Don't think about it!
In the penalty area before, the encirclement of four people made Rong Guang helpless, and this time there was one more person, and it was obviously not a problem to stop his attack......
His only concern was that Glory would pass the ball.
If he passes the football out of the box and into the open space at this time, it is likely to create an opportunity for other Sao Paulo players.
Seeing Rong Guang looking down at the ball, he seemed to be completely unaware of his own environment and the position of the other São Paulo players.
He didn't have to worry about it anymore.
※※※
"Surrounded! Worst! ”
"The flamengo players reacted really quickly!"
"Pass the ball quickly! Spread out! ”
"He may not be able to see ...... with his head down"
"Hell!"
The São Paulo fans in the stands became anxious when they saw Rongguang encircled.
They seem to have seen the failure of this offensive in São Paulo.
There is no shortage of Sao Paulo players on the pitch who think so.
Like Baptista.
When he saw that Glory was under siege, he felt that this attack of São Paulo might be over.
So he gave up the idea of stepping forward to support the team's attack, and instead retreated, ready to defend first.
Once the opponent breaks the ball and counterattacks, Sao Paulo will not be unprepared......
Not only did he do it himself, he called on others to do the same: "Defend yourself——! He shouted as he backed away.
Reinaldo, who was on the sidelines, snorted, and didn't want to make any comments on Glory's actions. This cold snort already explained his attitude.
Driving yourself into a dead end, what idiots enough!
※※※
Just when everyone thought that Flamengo's defense was nine out of ten this time, Glory's right foot slammed the football to the left!
Flamengo centre-back Varne, who was defending there, and Valtisen, another centre-back who intercepted Glory in the middle, quickly moved closer.
In this game, Rongguang has used "croquettes" many times, and even idiots should know what he is best at.
So when they saw Rongguang doing this, they immediately thought of "croquettes".
Next, if nothing else, the Chinese rookie will surely use his left foot to block the ball in front of him, and then follow it through between the two of them.
So we need to seal the middle lane now, even if the football rolls over, the people have to stay!
Cesar breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of two centre-back team-mates moving ahead of him, sealing off the route that Glory might have traversed – danger ruled out.
But the next second, his eyes widened suddenly!
※※※
I saw that Rongguang's left foot did hit the football!
But it's different from the previous "croquette" technique. The previous "croquette" Glory's left foot was opened to the outside so that the football could roll straight ahead.
But this time, his left foot was buckled inward!
So instead of rolling to the route blocked by Varnet and Valthyssen, the ball bounced back again! Bounced to the front right of Glory!
Almost rubbed shoulders with Valtison, who was moving closer to the middle!
※※※
It's not just Cesar who is staring wide-eyed, but Kaka.
Kaka's eyes widened when he saw the ball roll back to the right.
Then he saw Glory's body move to the right side of the Glory and pass past Valtison's side!
It's over!
And when Valtisson found out about this, even if he wanted to fight back as soon as possible, he couldn't do anything because of inertia, so he could only turn his head and watch Glory pass by him.
But Glory didn't break through the encirclement, because as he had thought before, the pipes on the roof were fixed to the ground and would not move. Flamengo's defenders, on the other hand, move and change their positions depending on the situation.
The glory of Valtisson and Varnet does not mean that the encirclement has been broken.
The other flamengo players quickly stepped forward to fill in and try to stop the glory.
So the test of glory is not over yet!
Now is not the time to cheer for this breakthrough.
I saw that the glory had just erased Valtisen, and there were Flamengo full-backs Eturizon and Gershino in front of him, the former in order to surround the glory, both from the left side back to the penalty area, the latter chased back again, and finally caught up with the glory - it can be seen how fast the series of passing moves of the glory just now.
But the faster ones are yet to come!
Gershino has been entangled with Glory all the time in this game, and he is naturally familiar with Glory's set.
Seeing that Rongguang had just broken through with the ball, he immediately stretched out his feet, and without saying a word, he went straight to grab it!
He thought he was fast enough this time, but Glory's speed was faster than him!
Kaka could see clearly from behind, and when the glory had just passed by Valtisen's side, his body suddenly shook...... It may seem a bit inappropriate to say it's shaking, and it might be more accurate to say it's fluttering.
If Rongguang used to use "croquettes" like a weeping willow that was blown by the breeze, then now he is like a mobile phone with vibration mode turned on!
The amplitude of the vibration is small, and the frequency is faster!
If you don't pay attention, you may be overlooked in a rapidly changing situation.
Then Kaka saw that Glory's body had a small change of direction. It was as if there was a sudden tremor in the course of the journey, and he got between Gershino and Eturizon!
Even with the ball!
This time it's a real breakthrough!
In front of him, there is no more Flamengo player except for a goalkeeper, Cesar!
※※※
Gershino held the position of breaking the ball with his foot outstretched, then fell to the ground, and almost strained his ligament - but he didn't care about that at all now, and he looked back at Rong Guang in shock.
How did this kid wipe himself away!
What did he just do!
Aren't you right in front of him? But how did he break through?
It looks like ...... It's the same as passing through my own body!
When the thought popped into Gershino's mind, he was taken aback - how is this possible?!
Yes, it is absolutely impossible!
But he is not alone in this delusion.
Next to him, Eturizon also looked at Glory in surprise.
He didn't even see what Rong Guang did just now, he just felt that his eyes flickered, and Rong Guang's figure disappeared from his eyes in a flash!
At that moment, his speed was amazing!
※※※
As he dribbled past Valtisen, Glory knew what he was up against.
He kept shouting in his heart: Hurry up! Hurry up! Faster!
To break out of this encirclement, you have to step a little faster!
His right foot gently and quickly flicked the ball to his left, just enough to dodge Gercinno's outstretched leg, and then his left foot reached up and touched the ball shorter than usual. The football changed direction and bounced forward, and Rong Guang's body twisted, sticking to Gershino and squeezing out of the crowd!
The reason why it seems incredible in the eyes of Gershino is because Rongguang has accelerated the speed of this croquette, from plucking the ball to knocking the ball, and then to crossing, it is very fast, just like speeding up the normal "croquette".
People can't react at all.
It's no wonder that Gershino felt like glory had passed through his body......
After getting the football out of the encirclement, Glory now faces only a lone goalkeeper, Giulio Cesar.
He looked up at Cesar's position - the first time he'd looked up in this attack!
Then he quickly lowered his head again, his eyes fixed on the football.
Strictly follow the shooting techniques that Coach Rocha taught him.
After determining the position of the goalkeeper and the football, he stepped firmly on the side of the football with his left foot, picked up his right foot, and the muscles contracted and tensed, keeping the ankle stable and firm.
Then, he hit the ball hard in the middle and upper middle!
Shot!
This time it's not a feint, it's a straight shot!
Cesar made a quick move to the ground to save, and the tips of his fingers did rub against the football, but in front of Rongguang's powerful shot, his fingertips were not enough to change the flight trajectory of the football!
The ball just adds a lot of spin, spinning on the turf, making a trajectory and spinning into the goal......
※※※
When the football rolled across the goal line, all the sounds in the originally noisy Maracanã stadium suddenly disappeared, and there was a silence, a death-like silence, as if you were in a hospital morgue.
But just a second later, cheers rang out from the stands, where Sao Paulo fans had gathered.
"Ahh——!h Pretty! Pretty! Bleaching - bright! It's so beautiful! Glory! Well done!! ”
These São Paulo fans shouted unscrupulously, almost frantically.
Their voices seemed to wake up the petrified flamengo fans, and a storm of boos rang out from the stands, drowning out their cheers and bringing all the sounds of the Maracanã Stadium back to normal.
Coelho sighed softly in the press room: "It's a shame, it's only a second......"
At the other end of the press gallery, it is unknown when Grayson got up from his seat. He stared blankly at the pitch, or rather, at the slender figure in front of the flamengo goal, with his head tilted up.
Rookie, glory!
