Chapter 445: Steal, Go Alone

Iroh stood slightly to the left on the periphery of the top circle of his side, waiting for the tee-off.

And he was staring at Ibrahimovic, the Swedish striker who once again looked like he was in the challenge, and next to Ibrahimovic was Cruz, who started in place of compatriot Crespo, a late bloomer.

Immediately afterward, Iroh turned his head to look at his teammate David Villa, who was standing in the middle of his own arc, and then at David Silva, who was also standing on the right side of the outer circle of his own arc.

At the same time, the three of them glanced at each other, and soon saw a hint of firmness in their eyes, then looked at each other and smiled, and nodded again.

Beep~~

Just then, the referee blew his whistle.

With the referee's whistle, Ibrahimovic moved the ball to Cruz next to him with the sole of his right foot, and then did not turn his head back, running directly to Valencia's defensive half, his task in this game is only to score, and the defense has nothing to do with him, so he ran very resolutely.

In addition, according to the pre-match arrangement, if you want to kick off first, you need to run parallel to the last defender of Valencia after passing the ball.

Cruz had just gotten the ball, and if he had kicked off first, he would have to quickly pass the ball back to Stankovic, who had the best footwork in midfield, after kick-off, and then run to the opponent's half of the pitch to receive a header from Ibrahimovic at the high post and organize a second attack.

It would have been better if we had been able to score first.

With good intentions, he pulled the ball back and prepared to pass it to Stankovic, who was not far away, and then ran behind Ibrahimovic towards Valencia's half to find an open space.

At the same time as he pulled the ball back, with his years of experience, he immediately sensed a trace of danger, took a step forward with his left leg, and just had a physical contact with the player who grabbed the opponent, but because the action was not big, the referee did not blow the whistle, so Cruz had to pass the ball back in order not to lose the ball, and Stankovic, who was directly in front of him, was waiting.

Without hesitation, he passed the ball with the arch of his right foot.

Suddenly, Cruz's pressure was relaxed, and he happened to see the opposing player who happened to have physical contact with him, a big number 7 behind the jersey.

David Villa saw Cruz pass the ball to Stankovic, and instead of giving up, he turned a corner and continued to chase Stankovic who had the ball.

As he had agreed with Iello and David Silva before kick-off, he had already planned to take advantage of the speed of the three to catch the opponent off guard during the time when Inter Milan had just kicked off.

Sue them for whose home is this!

"CCTV, you are watching the second leg of the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals, Valencia hosts Inter Milan, the home team Valencia is wearing a white jersey and orange shorts, and the away team is Inter Milan wearing a blue and black striped shirt and black shorts... Well, with the referee's whistle, the game officially begins......"

Huang Jianxiang's mental state is very good, so the fans who watched the live broadcast quickly entered the state, looking at the TV screen or computer screen with bright eyes.

“… The first kick-off was the away team Inter Milan, they attacked from the left side of the screen to the right, while the home team Valencia attacked from the right side of the camera to the left, and now the ball is Cruz who started in place of his national team teammate Crespo, Valencia's striker David Villa was very active and started to scramble in the first second of the game, Cruz turned around and passed the ball to Stankovic in order to protect the football from being true, okay, now I will announce the list of methods for both sides......

Stankovic, who has a lot of experience, saw David Villa rush at full speed, flicked the ball to the right of his body with the outside of his right foot, and then moved a step forward, one vertical and one horizontal, just to avoid David Villa's tackle.

But David Villa didn't give up lightly, but dodged and continued to chase, so Stankovic could only continue to take a step to the right side of his body with his right foot and use his left arm to prevent David Villa from speeding up.

But he underestimated David Villa's determination, so he had to use the outside of his right foot to flick the ball in the direction of his own goal, and complete a 90-degree turn, using his body to completely separate the football from David Villa, for the sake of a long night, he could only choose to pass the football.

But just as he was about to pass the ball to Zanetti on the right side, a figure appeared in the passing route, almost scaring his little heart out of a heart attack, and the outstretched right foot quickly pulled the football back.

Since the route to Zanetti was cut off, he could only continue to go in the direction of his own goal and widen the distance between him and David Villa behind him, while the two central defenders, Materazzi and Córdoba, quickly retreated and spread out for Stankovic to pass the ball, but David Villa behind him was not a light man to give up, and he was always close behind him, except for allowing him to dribble the ball back, it was difficult to even turn left and right.

At this time, Stankovic is also on fire, and it has only been a few seconds since it started?

As for pushing it so hard?

But complaining is complaining, you can't joke about the football at your feet, if the football is broken at this time, he can think of what the outcome will be with his toes.

Naturally, I don't dare to be careless.

But he didn't want to pass the ball back lightly.

So he could only turn his back to David Villa, and his body was pretended to be a breakthrough, and the deceived David Villa's body moved half a step to the left, and the ball was buckled to the right side of the body with the arch of his left foot, and at the same time his body was wiped to the right, ready to pass the ball to Cambiaso on the right, that is, the left side of his attack.

Well? And the white jersey again?

When he looked up to the right, he saw another Valencia winger, David Silva, so he could only play a time difference and the arch of his right foot turned the ball back with his left foot.

"Be careful, pass the ball quickly!!"

Materazzi's hurried voice reached Stankovic's ears.

Well?

As soon as Stankovic snapped the ball back to the left of his body with the arch of his right foot, he felt the danger, right?

The right foot subconsciously used the flexibility of his ankle to flick the ball in the direction of his own goal, and his body also rushed over, but his body was still a little slow to keep up, because at the same time he started, someone was faster than him!

This......

But Stankovic's body subconsciously moved very skillfully, his body's center of gravity quickly decreased, and his right foot stabbed the ball back, which was ...... The position of central defender Materazzi.

And when he poked the ball, he just happened to see the number 9 behind the white jersey.

Secretly scolded, no wonder it was so fast!

When he turned his eyes in the direction of the football, his eyes were almost popping out!

Because...... The stab he had just made hastily seemed to be ...... Light.

***

"The starting line-up of the home team Valencia is like this, the goalkeeper is still Canizares, the back line is Miguel, Albiol, Ayala and Moretti, the midfield three are Ballack, Albelda and Baraja, the three forwards are David Silva, David Villa and our player Elo......"

Huang Jianxiang took advantage of the time just kicked off to take out the starting list sent by UEFA to commentators in various countries and began to read it.

“… Inter Milan is in a 442 formation, their two strikers are Ibrahimovic and Cruz, and the midfield is lined up with Zanetti, Cambiasso, Burdisso and Stankovic, huh? Let me look at the situation on the pitch first, David Villa is pressing, Stankovic is not going to pass back? He twisted the ball to the right again, there was no passing route, and he didn't pass it back? Huang Jianxiang's voice became very urgent, because he saw a person approaching Stankovic at high speed from the left rear of the camera, and this person is Valencia's leading star, which is now recognized as the No. 1 star in China - Aelo!

He knew that if Ailo cut the ball off without Stankovic's knowledge, then it would definitely be a great opportunity, and at this time, he sneaked a glimpse of the time of the game, which was only 00:06, which means that the game was only six seconds into the game!

However, Huang Jianxiang quickly recovered as Stankovic reacted quickly and stabbed the ball in the direction of centre-back Materazzi, but only half a second later, his eyes widened again.

Seem......

Because Materazzi ran back to open the angle for Stankovic to pass the ball, but Stankovic completed the fall to the ground in a hurry, and the game was only a few seconds into the game, and the state of the pass was not yet in place.

It seems that Stankovic poked the ball lightly!

Like Huang Jianxiang's eyes, there are other commentators in the live broadcast room who are announcing the starting lists of both sides. It's almost there.

Whew-w

At the same time, there was a sudden burst of exclamations from the stands.

Mancini, who was exchanging views with his assistant in front of the away team's coach's box, was taken aback.

With such a loud exclamation at home, could it be a threatening attack from this side?

That's too fast, right?

With a hint of delight, he looked at Valencia's half, but ...... There is not a single hair.

What a cheat!

However, at this moment, the heart suddenly became a pimple.

Could it be in front of our own door?

Hurriedly twisted his neck 90 degrees and looked at the front of his door.

I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it!

What caught his eye was Materazzi taking a step forward, and then, as if he was afraid of something, stepped back again.

What's worse is that the person who made him retreat was Valencia's most dangerous attacking player - Elo!

Superb archery skills and impressive speed!

Mancini ran to the sidelines excitedly, and he was already scolding his mother in his heart, what is this Materazzi doing? Why don't you go forward and run back?

If Materazzi heard Mancini's complaint, he would definitely refute it, not that I don't want to run forward, but that Stankovic is too cheating, and he will die if he passes it early? But I had to wait until I was caught in the middle of the attack to rush back the pass.

And forget about the return pass, you haven't eaten, and the strength of the pass is so small?

Iello picked up the ball about 30 yards from goal, and he was directly facing Materazzi from five metres away, while team-mates David Villa and David Silva accelerated forward behind him.

But time was running out as another centre-back, Cordoba, and right wing-back McCone were chasing back at high speed.

Iroh gritted his teeth and took the ball forward, alone!
