Chapter 67: An Unexpected Goal

******

The meeting lasted only half an hour before the team returned to their respective rooms with assistant coach Benetti and captain Baraja.

However, before the meeting, Ranieri announced something that made several players who wanted to go out and have fun crazy, "It is forbidden to leave the hotel for half a step tonight, otherwise you will be expelled from the team and sent back to the Valencia second team, and you will have to go to sleep before 12 o'clock at night." ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Valencia arrived at Parma's home stadium, the Tardini Stadium, to acclimatize. I don't know if Parma Club intentionally or unintentionally, just as Valencia was just preparing to acclimatize to the field with the ball, the stadium staff informed them that today's acclimatization time was over, and the next step was to prepare for the evening game and drench the stadium.

Ranieri immediately became angry about the decision of the stadium staff, and hurriedly took out the phone to call the person in charge of the stadium, but the news he brought was not optimistic, because the person in charge of the stadium said that according to the relevant regulations of UEFA, the venue should be watered two to five hours before the game Just when Ranieri wanted to say something, the phone had become a busy tone.

no,vaffanculo-tu!!

As a result, Valencia had to end their only chance to acclimatize to the playing field early.

Let this road trip be full of gloom.

******

At eight o'clock in the evening, after the players of both sides had fully warmed up, they returned to their respective dressing rooms to prepare for the upcoming UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

Italy is not only famous for the 'Little World Cup' they once had, but also for another reason that makes them famous all over the world - extreme fans! And extreme fans also have another name, and that is football hooligans.

Iello sat by the wall of the away team's dressing room, and next to him sat David. Silva and Navarro, his brow furrowed at the moment, of course, not because he was nervous, but because the singing at the Tardini Stadium prevented him from taking the last time to rest.

It was about five minutes before manager Claudio Ranieri and assistant coach Benetti arrived late.

Subsequently, after the head coach Ranieri saw that everyone was there, he began to explain the tactics of the first half, this away game, mainly to defend and counterattack, after all, in someone else's home field, the opponent's home advantage can not be ignored, so the goal of the first half is to ensure that the goal is not to concede a goal. In particular, he reminded Ferrer and Elo that they must be careful when playing, Cannavaro Jr. and Bonella, although these two are marginal figures of the Italian national team, but their strength should not be underestimated. At the same time, he also warned the back line not to desert and to concentrate, the opposing centre-forward Gilardino is a player with great ability to take chances.

"Do you have any confidence to win this game??" After talking about the tactics of the first half, Raniellilla raised his voice and looked at the starting eleven in front of him.

"Confident !!" It was a starter who said loudly in unison.

Just then, the stadium staff came up and knocked on the door, signaling that the players were ready to enter.

When the staff arrived, Ranieri said humorously, "What a coincidence, this staff, the time is just right!" ”

It immediately caused a burst of laughter among the team members.

I was still a little depressed before, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

******

Parma's home stadium, Tardini, was packed, and what they saw was a sea of white. Although there was a runway between the stadium and the stands, it did not affect the fact that their boos reached the ears of the away Valencia players.

"It really deserves to be called the hometown of football hooligans!" Listening to the frenzied noise, Iro, who was stepping on the football and waiting for the referee's whistle, said to Ferrer next to him.

"Whatever, we're going to win, one qiē" Ferrer also looked at the frenzied stands, but he looked at it with a sneer on his face.

"One qiē runs naked for a beautiful woman, haha" Ferrer didn't finish speaking, and Iroh said it with him.

Beep!!

Just then, the referee blew his whistle.

Shhhh

As the referee's whistle blew, the home fans in the stands immediately let out a shrill boo, almost leading Ferrer, who had just received a pass from Iello, to make a mistake.

Hahahahaha-

A small mix of garlic at Ferrer's feet also caused a burst of laughter from the home fans in the stands.

Less than ten minutes into the game, the game was in the rhythm of the home team Parma.

In the eighth minute of the game, if it weren't for the bad luck of the main centre-forward Gilardino, the home team would have taken the lead.

Looking at the situation on the field, the excited Ranieri ran to the sideline several times and yelled at the players, calling everyone to concentrate and not lose their position.

The team's decline Iroh saw in his eyes, but now he has no way at all, every time he gets the ball, there will always be two 'bodyguards' on the other side, and there is one eyeing him five meters away, and the slightest movement will be fouled by the opponent, and the referee of this game is obviously soft, which also indirectly condones the fouls of Parma's defenders. Apparently Parma's head coach is well aware of Valencia's recent style of play and is in the cradle of a possible goal, and Iello is in the first predicament of his career.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of items invested in the game reached the cap of 99, it is estimated that he would have lost his form like other young players.

In the twelfth minute, Ilo received a long pass from Baraja at the top of the arc in the middle circle on the left side, shook his upper body, made a feint with his left foot by the way, and then slammed the instep of his right foot to deduct the ball to the bottom line, avoiding Bonella's defense, but he didn't expect Simpricio behind Ilo to directly pull him to the ground.

Then, the referee's whistle sounded decisively.

Although the referee blew the whistle, he did not show Simplicio, not even a verbal warning, but only gave Valencia a free kick in front of the left side of the penalty area.

If this free-kick up front is well grasped, it is still very likely to be scored, because according to a survey conducted by the German newspaper Bild, the free-kicks in front of the two edges of the box are the free-kicks that cause the most goals.

Seeing the referee's decision, the depressed Iroh naturally yelled at the referee, so he had to vent his temper on the turf, beat the turf with his fist, and then stood up from the turf, and by the way, he spit out the grass clippings that fell to the ground and fell into his mouth with saliva.

The scene was watched by the home fans in the stands, and even louder laughter emanated from the Tardini Stadium, and the laughter of the Italian giants in the front row could be heard across the runway.

"Get back in your mother's belly, coward!! Haha"

"This is not a place where you can be presumptuous, here you should just cock your ass and let us explode, hahaha"

"Valencia is a bunch of sissies, haha!"

Hearing these ugly words, Iroh couldn't help but clench his fists, and his eyes looking at the stands gradually became cold, and then he showed a sneer, "Grandchildren, you wait and cry!" ”

"Are you alright? Ai-" Captain Baraha saw the look in Elo's eyes looking at the stands, and hurriedly ran up to comfort him.

"I'm fine, Captain." After waving to Baraja, he ran into the box and prepared to fight for the set-piece in front.

Baraja looked at Iro, who was obviously vindictive, and naturally shook his head, and then called on his own players in the penalty area to pay attention to this free kick in front of the court.

After hearing the referee's whistle, Albelda drove the ball into the box with his right foot and flew straight into the six-yard box. At this time, Ferrer was surrounded by two Italian 'bodyguards', Bonella and Potenza, who were caught in the middle, and there was a little Cannavaro behind him who was making small movements against him, preventing him from jumping lightly.

Just when everyone thought that the football would be obtained by Frey, a figure appeared on the landing point of the football, a big No. 28 behind the orange jersey, jumping high, at this time Elo's 80 reaction and 75 bounce were vividly displayed, when he jumped to the highest point, the football just flew to his head, and then the waist and abdomen made a fierce force, the middle of the forehead fiercely pushed to the middle and upper part of the football, and the football whistled to the upper left corner of the goal!

wooooooooooooooooooooo――

The home fans in the stands were terrified as if they were about to be pierced, and their eyes were fixed on the trajectory of the football.

For Iro, who suddenly appeared on the football landing point, Parma's defenders couldn't make a second reaction at the first time! The defensive task assigned to them before the head coach was to mainly defend Ferrer and the opponent's two central defenders, and the other minions could not be accompanied by defense, and then an opposing player with such an amazing bounce suddenly appeared, which suddenly made them stunned, and their feet seemed to be plunged into the mud under the turf, and they watched the opponent's No. 28 jump high, and then hit the football.

The goalkeeper Frey, who was standing at the back of the goal, had been looking at Ferrer who was fighting for this landing point, and at this moment he seemed to be under a spell, his feet were nailed to the ground, and he watched Elo, who jumped one point higher than anyone else, to top the football, instinctively opened his arms, but found that he couldn't move half a minute, and could only watch the football fly to the door of his handle.

The only thing he can do at the moment is a quote from his goalkeeper enlightenment teacher when he was a child, "If you want to be a good goalkeeper, then you can't take your eyes off football for a moment!" ”

So he never took his eyes off the football, until the football hit the net, then fell to the ground, then bounced a few times, and returned to calm before he came back to his senses and cursed.

I lost the ball!!

Iroh landed with a small stumble on his foot and then saw the ball bouncing inside the net, which made him realize that he had scored.

It's as if he thinks it's too easy to score and doesn't care!

Albelda, who had just taken a free kick, reacted the quickest, and was the first to react, yelling, "Hey, guys, we scored!! Scored!! Then he ran frantically towards Iro, who had smashed the ball into the goal.

After seeing the football fly into his goal, Bardini stood up violently and vented his dissatisfaction on the bottle of mineral water in front of him, while not forgetting to scold, "What the fuck is going on??" ”

And the away team's dugout was amazed, huh? Marvel?? Right! It's just amazing!! Because of his free-kick tactics in front of Ranieri, Iroh is just a support type of forward player, and does not take on the task of fighting for the top, I didn't expect that this time his 'private action' actually pushed the football into the goal, so this made Ranieri and Benetti exclaim, "What an unexpected goal!" ”

But he was soon replaced by David on the bench. Silva, Albi Olpison, and Andy's frantic celebrations are infected, and they join in the celebrations.
