Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 266 Lead
Fifteen minutes later, Zenit's offensive gradually strengthened, before the game reporters and the media and bookmakers were unanimously optimistic about Zenit to win the championship, Zenit once scored Hoffenheim 4 goals in the first encounter, the Bundesliga boss was also flooded, they think they have almost their own unique skills against the Bundesliga team, the game has not yet started, they put themselves very high in mentality, at this time once the attack is unfavorable, they immediately have a sense of frustration, and they can't get their face back immediately.
Hoffenheim still remembers the first loss, the opponent's side breakthrough is lightning fast, not only the tacit cooperation, the individual ability is also outstanding, the most important thing is that several players in the front field of Zenit are fast and flexible players, and it is very miserable for these tall defenders in the Bundesliga to be counter-attacked by them. Therefore, Hoffenheim rarely presses on the whole line even if it encounters the opportunity to counterattack, basically relying on Li Huan's personal breakthrough and the small cooperation of several people in the frontcourt, since they are ready to play defense, they must be steady.
The absence of centre-forward Pogrebjak in the front line has reduced their attacking strength, and while Arshavin has been able to play some clever balls from the flanks and from the middle at times, neither Dani nor Faizulin have been able to find a chance with Hoffenheim's two midfielders and four defenders.
If you want to crack through the iron barrel of dense defense, the dagger is definitely not as good as the sledgehammer. Advocaat knew this very well, but he had no choice but to blame why Pogrebrjak had a brain in the water and ate an unnecessary yellow card in the game against Bayern.
Although there is no Pogrebyak, but under Zenit's full attack, Hoffenheim's defense still has a lot of problems, and Zenit uses rapid cooperation to form two or three threatening attacks, if the opponent's strong center, if Zenit grasps the opportunity to have a strong Pogrebyak, Hoffenheim can hardly say that he does not concede a goal now.
But Zenit's fierce attack also contains a huge risk, they put too many players into the attack, the gap behind the field is too large, the back line suppressed Ibisevic and Kopado near the center circle, but Hoffenheim's counterattack is like a squeezed spring, and the pressure is also big, but Zenit has been riding hard, and now they either crush this spring, or they are broken by the spring.
By the end of the 25-minute mark, the tired Hoffenheim was like a runaway bicycle, and it was about to fall off at any moment. But just here, a turning point has also appeared.
Due to Li Huan's strong performance in front, Faizulin was a little lacking in confidence when facing Li Huan, and when he hesitated a little between passing back to Arshavin and breaking through Li Huan with the ball, Li Huan used his explosive power to suddenly hook the ball from his feet, and knocked him over in the grass with his physical advantage.
The Hoffenheim fans, who were watching the horror, suddenly cheered, "Good! "Pretty!" The fans cheered loudly for Li Huan's steal.
Li Huan did not dribble the ball, although his dribbling was also a threat, but Li Huan wanted to hit Zenit in the fastest time, so immediately after breaking the ball, he made a long pass to Ibisevic, who started it.
Li Huan broke the ball, Ibisevic started, and there was a heart-to-heart between the two, almost synchronously. Li Huan's long pass was a half-high ball, flying straight behind the Zenit defender like an eye.
The Zenit defender quickly turned around to chase the ball, and goalkeeper Malafyev felt that he could get the ball, and he quickly attacked to clear the ball in front of Ibisevic. But halfway through his attack, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and the ball flew forward at a slower speed, and there were even signs of spinning. Malafeev's head slammed, 'Oops! Sortie error! Malafeyev immediately stepped back as fast as he could.
Central defender Shirokov started a step later than Ibisevic, but he was not going to foul Ibisevic, he thought that he would be able to catch up with Ibisevic after two more steps, and even if he couldn't, he would be able to catch up when Ibisevic got the ball. But Malafeev came back halfway through the attack and exposed the goal to Ibisevic, as long as Ibisevic touched the ball first, it was sure to be a goal.
Ibisevic also saw the goalkeeper's mistake in attacking, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable, and he desperately moved his legs, one step, two steps, three steps......
There was silence!
So quiet that you can almost hear your own heartbeat;
The eyes of the fans followed closely the ball that flew forward some distance above the defender's head as if they wanted to rest, and looked at the Bosnian striker Ibisevic, who was close to the ball; Many Hoffenheim fans were already half-standing up with their fists clenched, and were brewing shouts and shouts after the goal.
There is nothing to be done at centre-back Shirokov at the moment, and Krizanac is still behind him, as a central defender, the last line of defence, and he cannot watch Ibisevic hit the empty net in the case of goalkeeper mistakes.
Shirokov reached out and grabbed Ibshevich's clothes from behind.
If this isn't a high-profile final, Ibisevic's best bet would be to go down and earn a red card and a well-placed free-kick.
But now it's the final, there are countless pairs of eyes watching this game, there are his relatives, there are scouts, there are hundreds of millions of fans, Ibisevic is extremely eager to score this goal, empty goal! Li Huan has already scored 11 goals, and he doesn't need this free kick to be the top scorer.
Ibshevich struggled forward, trying to get away from Shirokov's pull.
At this moment, the Hoffenheim fans stood up in a hurry, almost wanting to shout at him, ah! Fall! It's all in the 30-meter zone!
"This idiot!" Liu Yang, Ren Feng and some Chinese fans scolded Ibisevic almost in unison, and the cheap ones sent to the door are not profitable, not stupid.
But Ibyševich still went down because he saw that Krizanac was about to pass him, and even if he rushed over, he was not sure to get the ball first.
"Phew!" A shrill whistle sounded.
The referee, Floyd Fürth, ran over with his hand in his pocket.
At this moment, all the Hoffenheim fans chanted "Red card!" Red! "Put pressure on the Swedish referee.
"Yellow card! Yellow! The Zenit fans stared nervously at the referee to see what color he was pulling.
Yellow!
Floyd Felter pulled out a yellow card!
“**!” "Blind!" "That's a red card!" The Hoffenheim fans were in an uproar and shouted at the referee, Freudfeldfeldt.
Hoffenheim's players also surrounded angrily, believing that it must be a red card, and when Shirokov pulled Ibisevic, Ibisevic was empty except for the goalkeeper, according to the rules, it was undoubtedly a red card.
Duan Xuan and Tao Wei in the studio were also discussing what color this card should be.
Duan Xuan said: "This should be a red card, I don't know what the basis for this Swedish referee to issue a yellow card." ”
Tao Wei said: "Or he is worried that sending off a player from Zenit in the opening 25 minutes will upset the balance of the game." However, it may also be that he thinks that Krizanac has run in front of Ibisevic and is no longer a one-man ball. ”
Hoffenheim's players gave up after a while, the referee has taken out a yellow card, it is impossible to change it to a red card, they just do this to put pressure on the referee, indicating that they have suffered in this decision, and ask the referee to remember the next compensation back, in fact, for Hoffenheim, this free kick is about the same as a penalty, the distance of the ball is already within 30 meters, and the visual distance is 267 meters.
The Hoffenheim fans also stopped the noise, and the desire for Li Huan to use Xiao Li's flying knife again was greater than his accusation against the referee, who let Ibisevic not fall in time, which gave the referee an excuse not to send Shirokov.
"Malafeev was sentenced to death!" Duan Xuan said excitedly, Li Huan, who had been silent for two games, should finally let the opponent see his Xiao Li Feidao again......"
Tao Wei interjected: "It's not for Zenit, it's for fans around the world to appreciate Li Huan's Xiao Li Feidao again, and now European bookmakers have offered odds for when Li Huan's Xiao Li Feidao will fail, one is to bet on whether Xiao Li Feidao will be lost, and the other is to bet that Li Huan will be punished in his first few official games." “
Duan Xuan laughed and said: "There is such a thing, but as time increases, Li Huan's psychological burden will become greater and greater, and it is not impossible to miss a free kick." The example is just an inductive proof, not a deductive proof, but all Chinese hope that Li Huan will never miss a free kick. ”
Ibisevic didn't dare to look at Li Huan's eyes when he saw Li Huan coming over to take a free kick, he was selfish just now, otherwise this would be a red card and a free kick. Teammates can definitely see it, let alone this incomparably smart Chinese.
"Smack!" Li Huan patted Ibisevic on the shoulder, "Well done, I will score this goal!" ”
Ibisevic turned his head and saw Li Huan's smiling face, without a hint of blame in his eyes.
"Lee! Thanks for the pass! Ibisevic hugged Li Huan excitedly, regretting and ashamed of his behavior just now.
The position of the free kick is directly facing the goal, 267 meters away, in this position, you can hit the four dead corners of the goal, and you can also play the arc or volley vigorously, it can be said that this is an excellent position.
Li Huan stood in front of the ball, and then began to get used to measuring the distance of the run.
At this time, the telephoto camera lens was aimed at the stands, passing through several boxes, and aimed at Zenit's behind-the-scenes boss, the Russian giant Fudikov, who was looking nervously at Li Huan with a relaxed expression, in his opinion, the young Chinese was likely to block his dream of European championships.
The telephoto camera lens turned again, and when he arrived in another box, the German billionaire Hope smiled and picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, he had seen such a scene many times, the process was not the same, but all the results were the same, Li Huan scored a free kick, so that the myth of Xiao Li's flying knife continued to circulate in world football. He already knew the news of Li Huan's meeting with Ferguson, but he didn't care, and he didn't call Li Huan or Li Huan's agent Watts, he thought that Li Huan would not leave, he believed in Li Huan, just as he believed that Li Huan, who had suffered a cruciate ligament strain, would definitely recover.
Li Huan began to run.
As if someone was directing, the stadium, which had been boiling a moment before, suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of more than 48,000 heavy breaths.
One step, two steps, three steps......
Li Huan's every step seemed to have stepped on the hearts of Zenit fans, making them unable to speak or breathe.
Li Huan's foot slammed into the ball, and the ball made a loud bang.
The whistling sound of a sharp ball rubbing against the air suddenly sounded!
A white arc flashed brightly!
The ball is in!
Then Zenit's goalkeeper fell the line, and he didn't save anything.
In an instant, the air currents that had been suppressed for several seconds erupted from the mouths of all the fans. The Hoffenheim fans stood up and let out an earth-shattering shout: "Good! "It's the one word that best expresses everyone's mood at the moment, it's so happy, they're ahead, they're scoring, they're one step closer to the European title.
And the Zenit fans collapsed on their seats like balloons punctured by a needle, and this team was defeated, and the team that was in civil unrest before the game actually scored first. They weren't convinced, but the bright red numbers on the electronic scoreboard told them it was a bloody reality.
Rangnick jumped to his feet and yelled excitedly, forgetting the pre-match unpleasantness, Ferguson's pesky red nose, forgetting the British tabloid reporters, and at the moment his eyes were only rolling the ball in the net. His tactical design worked, they took the initiative and the Bertoni Cup in the stands seemed to have been caught by him.
"Enter...... Ball...... Finish......!
Plum...... Huan ......," Duan Xuan's male duck let out a heart-rending cry, every word seemed to jump out with difficulty, after shouting Li Huan's name, his speech speed was a little smoother, "Xiao Li Flying Knife, Xiao Li Flying Knife, no example, it is still a myth, Hoffenheim took the lead, Li Huan scored the 13th goal, his own long pass launched an attack, he personally scored this free kick, Malafeev became a victim of Xiao Li Flying Knife, this is one of his countless free kick works, but this time is different from the previous one, Because this free-kick is likely to make him the European champion, the first European champion for the Chinese. Li Huan! Banzai! Ten thousand...... Year! ”
