Chapter 60: What a Pity...... (Ask for the first commuter pass!) )
See the fastest updates
When Glory retreated to receive the ball, Gershino leaned up from behind and knocked the emaciated Glory off balance and fell to the ground.
It was a clear foul, so the referee's whistle blew quickly and the game was suspended.
But that's all, the referee didn't even give a verbal warning, let alone a card.
Such fouls are common in a game, and if such fouls are to be carded, then it is estimated that every game will be terminated because there are too few players on both sides.
So no one including the Sao Paulo players took it very seriously.
Glory Himself is even more so.
When he made a name for himself in Rio-São Paulo, he started to be treated with this kind of foul in the game, and he got used to it.
He is not the kind of "actor" who is knocked to the ground and rolls on the ground seven or eight times with his face covered, nor is he a "coward" who kneels on the ground, raises his hands and shouts at the referee, hoping that the referee will preside over justice for him.
He got up from the ground, didn't take the collision seriously, patted his butt, turned and ran away
His performance took Gershino by surprise.
You know, this was a deliberate foul just now, but he didn't actually need to do it, he just had to stick it up, not let Glory turn around, and force him to pass the ball back.
But he knocked the glory over directly from behind.
He did it to put pressure on Glory and remind him that he wasn't the kind of defender to deal with.
On this point, Nelson O Baptista also sees it, and he admires the approach of his players. Think Gershino made the right choice.
After Gershino knocked over Rongguang, he glared at Rongguang viciously, planning to threaten him with his eyes again, scare him, and make him retreat when Rongguang was like a little girl looking for the referee to ask for shelter.
It's a simple mental offense that a lot of defenders do.
Combined with the small actions unique to South American players, it is simply invincible.
Gershino is a master.
As a full-time defensive midfielder, Gershino has a terrible attacking level and he doesn't even look like a Brazilian player.
Also because of his poor attacking level, Gershino is not a main player at Flamengo.
The reason why he was able to play in today's game was because head coach Nelson Baptista needed his defensive ability.
Among Flamengo's defensive players, his defensive ability is still excellent, and his defensive experience is the best match for the inexperienced rookie glory.
So he was assigned by the head coach to defend Glory. It was enough for him alone, with his defensive ability and experience, as well as the small movements characteristic of South American players, to drag the glory.
In Nelson Baptista's plan, Gershino only needs to defend Glory alone, so that he can free up more manpower against Fabiano and Kaka, as well as São Paulo players such as Ricardinho.
Gershino also thinks that he is enough alone, and does not need others to come up and help.
As a result, he had just prepared his expression and psychological offensive, but under the back of Rongguang getting up and turning around and running, all of them became useless
Glory didn't even look at him
Looking at the back of Rongguang turning around and running away, Gershino was a little surprised.
But soon he reacted - he was ignored by this kid
This discovery made him furious.
This bastard
I'm going to show you how wrong you were
He stared at the back of Glory, his gaze like a knife.
※※※
Glory didn't know that he had been targeted by Gershino.
He is also watching the performance of the Flamengo backline.
After a few more minutes of observation, and after careful comparison with the pipes on the rooftop, Rongguang was convinced that the flamengo players were no better than the pipes defensively.
He knew the bottom of his mind.
Hmph, I'm going to show you how good I am today
He raised his hand to ask Fabiano for the ball.
Fabiano had only just received the ball from Kaka, but he, like Kaka, quickly fell into the trap.
The defenders of Flamengo won't even let Fabiano turn
It was at this time that Fabiano saw the glory.
He didn't think too much about it, and passed the ball over.
Although he doesn't think glory can change the situation, it's better than having the football cut off at his feet
Glory was in front of Fabiano, Fabiano was a return pass, and Glory received the ball in the direction of the attack
Almost as soon as he received the football, Gershino pounced.
I plan to take advantage of the opportunity of Glory to stop the ball and cut off the ball at his feet.
The rookie is inexperienced, and as long as he puts pressure on him when he receives the ball, he will make mistakes, and that's his chance
When he pounced, all he had in his eyes was football.
At this time, he found that Rongguang did not stop the ball, but directly pushed the football out of the ball with his right foot
Dialed to the left
He pounced
Then, before he could react, he felt a gust of wind hanging around him......
※※※
"Rong ...... "Great," shouted the narrator, Garvão Bueno, his voice full of surprise
"Pretty—" Jerk Cafory couldn't help but exclaim.
Their eyes widened.
What did they see in that instant?
Gershino rushed up to break the ball of Glory, but Glory did not stop the ball directly, he gently flicked the ball to the left with his right foot, and then knocked the ball forward with his left foot at the same time as he started. Even the man swept the ball past Gershino's side
No one expected that Eiko would succeed in using "croquettes" for the first time in this game
Fabiano was stunned for a moment before he reacted and quickly ran to cooperate with Glory.
The situation on the field changed in an instant
The kind of positional offensive and defensive battles that were slow before turned into fast attacks in an instant
Glory passed Gershino, who was defending him, and then rushed forward with the ball.
In the process, he didn't even look up to see what Gershino looked like, who was defending him...... If this makes Gershino know, he may be angry with him......
"Rong this is Rong's breakthrough with the ball" The commentator's voice was very excited, because they all knew what the concept was after letting Rong Guang rush up the speed
Flamengo's backline looked panicked in front of Glory's sudden dribbling breakthrough.
Some retreated, trying to reorganize the defense, others pounced, intending to intercept Glory.
Rongguang didn't give them a chance to do so, and when he dribbled into the range of more than 30 meters, he shot directly with his right foot
The ball went straight to the goal
※※※
When they saw the football flying towards the goal, many people's hearts couldn't help but hang. It's like being tied to a soccer ball in the air.
After someone saw this scene, they thought of Rongguang's recent frequent use of long-range shots to score goals......
No way?
Their eyes widened.
Flamengo's main goalkeeper, Julio Cesar, leapt to his feet and tried his best to stretch his arms and expand the area of his defense in the air.
But he also failed to touch the football
The ball flew towards the top left corner of the goal
Then rub the doorposts...... Flew out of the bottom line
※※※
"Phew—" There was a loud exhale from the stands, the sound of a large number of flamengo fans breathing.
"It's a pity—" Bueno held his head in his hands, his expression and tone exaggerated.
"Young's long-range shot is this characteristic, either into the corner or sliding out of the goal, this time he was unlucky, the football flew out of the goal...... "Cavfurey also regretted Glory - if this goal went in, how beautiful it would be......
From catching the ball to getting rid of it, to accelerating the long-range shot, it was unexpected in one go
But the bigger regret is because Cafurui feels that there is no goal in such a sudden attack, so Rong may not have such a good chance in the future. So it's a shame that the goal didn't go in......
São Paulo could have taken advantage of the attack to take the lead.
Then, with their characteristics, this one-goal lead can ⊥ them invincible.
It's not just that he feels sorry, but in front of the coach's box and the bench in São Paulo, in the stands where Sao Paulo fans gathered, everyone held their heads with their hands, and felt sorry for the goal not being scored.
"It's a pity," Mauro clapped his hands. "What a great opportunity"
Osvaldo didn't say anything, but he also regretted that Glory's shot didn't go in.
※※※
Grayson sat in the media box, frightened by Rongguang's long-range shot just now, and almost got up from his seat, but fortunately he steadied himself and did not lose his temper.
After seeing Rongguang's shot ball sliding out of the door, he pretended that he wasn't worried at all, and spread his hands and said: "Rong is too anxious, he chose the wrong way, if he gives this ball to Fabiano, it may be a single knife but...... Although the rookie can bring some fresh elements to São Paulo and let them reap the victory, it is also an unstable factor in São Paulo, a time bomb - who knows when he will explode? And I don't distinguish between friend and foe."
After Rongguang just missed such an opportunity, Grayson said this, and it does make sense. The reporters who supported Glory in the media table could only remain silent in the face of the facts at this time.
※※※
When Gershino turned to chase back, he saw the scene of Rong Guang shooting with his feet. When the ball flew towards the goal, from his point of view, he really thought that Rongguang's long-range shot would go in. If it does, it means that his defense is a failure, because the glory is dangling before the shot.
Thankfully, the ball went wide of the goal.
This lightened the pressure on his heart a lot.
Then his eyes froze, and he stared at the glorious figure behind him.
Boy, I'm sorry you missed such a great opportunity, because it was your first and last shot of the game
You idiot
If you pass the ball, maybe now you can celebrate the goal.
But...... I won't thank you, idiot
