It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 152 My Ming Ancestors
【Charlotte Bar】

"Is the Chinese composition written by Ciel that was circulated everywhere on the Internet not long ago real?"

"The essay is at most at the level of a sixth-grade primary school student, and the Chinese characters he wrote are at the level of a third-grade primary school student. Overall, it should be his."

"It's so funny. How did he manage to be so serious and funny in his essay? It is said that he even participated in an essay competition. I wonder if he won any prize."

"I think his title is very suspenseful. After all, the title "My Coach Father" is not attractive enough."

"What is attractive then?"

"You should go and watch the essay contest in Korea."

"How to say?"

“Father: ‘How come you only got second place in this essay?’”

“Son: ‘I’m sorry…’”

"Father: 'Didn't I ask you to title it "My Taijun Father"?'"

"Son: 'But the first place winner's topic is called "My American Grandfather"! Another recommended candidate wrote "My Ming Dynasty Ancestors."'"

"O(∩_∩)O haha~"

"It seems that it makes sense that Ciel's essay contest is not good—"

……

Rubin Kazan has the ball.

I don’t know why, but when the ball was kicked out, Charles always felt like he had to rush into the penalty area immediately.

Even when I see Salukovadze following me, I always feel like my feet are itching and I want to lift my legs back and do a scorpion tail move.

Not long after, the ball returned to the Ruby's defense line again.

When Charles saw this, he became excited.

Anyway, even though the player I drew was a defender, as a forward, I can't just run into my own penalty area right at the start of the game, right?

In the past, when a striker pressed a defender it was a form of oppression, but now it is different.

As soon as Salukovadze received the ball, he felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw Charles looking at him with passionate eyes and was almost scared.

No, why are you looking at me?
Seeing this, Salukovadze quickly kicked the ball above his head, trying to pass it to his teammate Noboa.

But the moment the ball was passed, Charles rushed out like the wind.

Noboa hadn't reacted yet, but in this brief moment of hesitation, Charles, who was not far away from him, rushed to his side in this very short time.

Noboa reacted quickly and ran side by side with Charles, but he was outside and Charles was inside, and Salukovadze's pass happened to be on Noboa's side.

When the two were only one step away from the ball, Noboa stretched out his right foot without hesitation and wanted to run with the ball.

But Charles, who was possessed by Captain Ma, slid over with justice.

Since there is no turn to overtake, just go with the violent aesthetics.

Noboa had no choice but to step over Charles' legs like a hurdle when he saw the legs suddenly blocking his way.

At the same time, Charles supported himself with his right hand, stood up quickly with the ball, aimed at where Iniesta was, and passed the ball to Xiaobai.

Soon, with the help of Barcelona's midfield, the ball quickly came to Xavi's feet.

Charles, who had returned to his original position earlier, also rushed into the penalty area with Messi and Ibrahimovic at this moment.

Ansaldi rushed towards Xavi, but Xavi did not act as he expected. Instead, he passed the ball backwards at an unnatural 45-degree angle.

Iniesta takes the ball.

Noboa and Salukovadze rushed towards Iniesta one after another. Just when Sharonov joined the battle, Charles quietly withdrew from the Ruby's penalty area.

Iniesta understood what he meant and quickly and accurately kicked the ball with the outside of his left foot, then passed the ball to Charles again.

Seeing that there was suddenly a ball under his feet, Charles almost wanted to kick back and give Iniesta a blow.

No, he just came here to watch the fun and ran over subconsciously to join in the fun. Why did you really give the ball to him?
Noboa, Salukovadze and Sharonov crowded around Charles, staring at him eagerly.

Sarukovadze, who had just been intercepted by Charles, looked at Charles with a serious expression.

It would be fine if a frontcourt player was good at shooting and passing, but from what we just saw, this guy is also good at stealing the ball and is very active.

This is a very difficult thing to deal with.

Charles, who was standing outside the penalty area, didn't know what the Ruby players were thinking, but now there was no way to go in front or behind him, so he could only rush forward and see if there was a glimmer of hope ahead.

Just as Charles made a diagonal run into the restricted area, Sarukovadze and Sharonov turned around and followed Charles.

Although it seemed that only one of the two was needed to prevent Charles from shooting, the head coach showed them a lot of Charles' highlights before the game.

You know, a player from the second-tier league can look better than a player from the top league in his highlights.

What's more, Ciel is a person who can show off in other people's concentration.

Salukovadze thought about the dribbling moves that Charles had used before, but the more he thought about it, the more sweat broke out on his forehead.

Damn Charles, it seems that every move, whether it is the Cruyff turn or the Marseille turn, is used as if the real him is here. How can we defend against him?
Soon, in a flash, Salukovadze figured it out.

No matter how top the players are, as long as they are human, they all have something in common.

That is, at critical moments, they will be more inclined to choose the method that they are most familiar with and most confident in.

Well, if we analyze what Charles does the most and what he chooses to do in the current situation, there is only one truth, and that is to dribble the ball past the opponent!
Humph, you didn't expect that, even though you, Charles, are very cunning in football, I can still guess your true intentions.

Sure enough, I saw that Charles had made a small movement with his feet and leaned on the ball.

As a mature defender, Salukovadze knows very well that a dribble like this is mainly about creating a time difference.

The first step of the offensive player is to deceive the defensive player's center of gravity. The moment you give up your center of gravity, the offensive player will use the outside of his foot to break through diagonally forward.

Feeling his confidence return, Salukovadze looked at his teammates not far away and did not move in the direction where Charles passed the ball, but ran in the opposite direction.

You didn't expect that, Charles, I have already seen through your every move.

Sharonov and Charles did not quite understand the intention of Salukovadze's action for a moment, but Charles would not let go of this gift package that fell from the sky, and quickly took advantage of the situation and ran towards the road that had been cleared.

Salukovadze didn't expect that Charles could predict his prediction in a split second!

Then, in just a moment, the fake move in the first step turned into a real move!
As expected, he is worthy of being someone who can integrate smoothly into Barcelona. Whether it is a real move or a fake move, Charles' intention is like Schrödinger's cat before it is fully revealed.

No, the person defending him is Schrödinger's cat, because only after Charles makes a move can the person defending him know whether his move is right or wrong.

Fortunately, Sharonov, who gave Salukovadze great confidence, was still with Charles.

Sharonov was watching Charles dribbling the ball and could only stand beside him miserably, not daring to make any other unnecessary moves.

Just like many things, if he doesn't change and keeps things the same, no problems will be blamed on him.

But if he makes a hasty change and fails, all attention will be focused on him.

He didn't dare to move, but Charles dared to move.

Anyway, it’s not our own penalty area, so we won’t score an own goal.

At the same time, Ibrahimovic, Messi and others have all arrived at the small penalty area, almost face to face with the goalkeeper.

Without any extra thought, Charles kicked the ball directly based on his feeling.
But as soon as he kicked, Charles realized something was wrong.

He wanted to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic.

Although Ibrahimovic is tall and strong, his footwork is very delicate.

When Charles kicked the ball, his force position was correct, but when he retracted his foot, he was pulled by Sharonov, and he seemed to add a "rubbing" action to the ball unconsciously.

In other words, this ball could have been passed to Ibrahimovic exactly as Charles originally intended.

The home fans in the stands watched the ball leap up high, which seemed to be going to be passed to Toure, and then glanced at the many defensive players around Toure, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, with their cheers, Charles also made a mistake.

However, they soon realized how wrong they were.

The ball drew an exaggerated arc in the air, like a flock of birds circling in the air in the evening, reluctant to return to their nests.

At that moment, the ball seemed to have wings and came to Messi in an exaggerated manner.

Their goalkeeper and players had no time to react before they saw Messi score.

When I looked back again, the ball was already bouncing slightly in the goal.

"Barca 1:0 Kazan."

"When Charles made a great effort to steal the ball from the Rubin Kazan midfielder not long after the start of the game, all the Barcelona fans were moved to tears."

"I think everyone who watched the game couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of their hearts."

"As a striker, Charles didn't need to chase so far to steal the ball, but he still chose to do so. Many times, the difference between good players and top players is their attitude."

"We don't know what the future of the Shire will be like. No matter how we describe it now, it is like a blind man touching an elephant for the Shire, which has an endless bright future."

"But we can say with certainty that today, we saw a player with such talent and a great attitude, who seemed to take his success for granted."

"But nothing is taken for granted, only constant dedication and perseverance day after day."

Guardiola smiled and nodded, then turned to Bilanova and said: "It seems that today's hamburger is really very useful. Charles hasn't played such a ball so indulgently for several games."

In his opinion, although Charles' recent performance is still very good, they played very conservatively in the last game and were not as bold and unrestrained as before.

Vilanova nodded.

"Indeed, psychological factors are often an important factor affecting the players' condition. We must now vigorously develop new burgers and better burgers."

As he spoke, Vilanova took out a small notebook from his pocket and said, "Pep, come and have a look. This is some information about hamburgers that I have collected recently..."

While the Barcelona head coach and assistant coach were quietly discussing Hamburg, the head coach of Rubin Kazan was also trying hard to control his emotions.

But Karadenis couldn't help it and ran to Salukovadze and Sharonov.

"Damn it, what were you doing just now? One of you was playing the role of a wooden man in the restricted area, and the other was playing the role of an old lady?"

"Perhaps instead of having you play as a defender, we should buy a street lamp. At least the street lamp can still emit light and will not be shaken away when it stands in the same place."

Sharonov quickly recalled some painful and sad things in his mind, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth were still noticed by Karadnis.

"Laugh, you're still laughing at me, are you any better? At least they still want a street lamp, it's just broken, what about yours? Are you calling a taxi?"

Karadnis glared at Sharonov.

"That Barcelona No.7 is right in front of you. Are you afraid that he's too fast to see you? You're standing there motionless, stretching out your hand as if you're hailing a taxi. Your hand is a traffic light. Can you make Charles stop as soon as he sees you?"

Sarukovadze lowered his head silently without saying anything.

Sharonov rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

You are aloof, you think you are great, but they are all the same. Only you are the one who speaks without any concern.

How about you play against Barcelona's No. 7?

I wonder if you can still say such things?

Good street light, taxi, I think you are like a rope hanging on the street light.

Rubin Kazan restarted the game.

As soon as the ball was passed back, Charles rushed out like a wild horse.

This time, having learned from previous lessons and also wanting to set an example for others, Karadenis passed the ball back safely while being surrounded by Barcelona players.

The moment Simark received the ball, he made a slight adjustment and passed the ball to Noboa.

But just when everyone thought that all would be fine, Charles once again rushed out from behind Noboa, to everyone's surprise, and made another clean and neat tackle.

Before Noboa could react, he saw a pair of legs suddenly appear in front of him, and then soon, his ball disappeared!
No, isn't this their half? He was a defensive midfielder in their half, and was tackled by a Barcelona striker.

Is this reasonable?

Is there still law here?

But Charles didn't care about the law or not. He stood up quickly and kicked the ball to his teammate.

During the warm-up training, he discovered that the experience card he drew today turned a little slowly.

In other words, this type of player has a shortcoming that they cannot play behind the opponent, and they cannot keep up if they do.

Hitting behind the back means passing the ball directly to the opponent's defender. The forward or midfielder takes advantage of the time difference when the defender turns around to defend and faces the goalkeeper alone.

"Wow, Charles has once again stolen the ball from Rubin Kazan. This is not the first time."

"If something happens suddenly, the first time, we still say it is an accident, but the second and third time, it can no longer be an accident, but a true manifestation of strength."

"But we have never seen Ciel demonstrate such strength before. It seems that Ciel is still a perfectionist. He won't show us his skills easily until he has mastered them completely."

Xavi catches the ball.

Karadenis and Alessandros Sef headed towards Iniesta.

Iniesta took a look at the situation on the field, and just as Arizarsov stretched out his foot, he flicked the ball with his left foot and passed it to the backcourt again.

Well, Barcelona's backline doesn't need to worry about Rubin Kazan's forwards torturing them like they did with Ciel.

Abidal stopped the ball, hesitated for a moment, and finally passed it to Pique.

The four players in the backcourt began to pass the ball back and forth, quietly waiting for Rubin Kazan to reveal a flaw.

"Barcelona's backcourt is constantly passing the ball sideways, trying to find space when the opponent is moving."

Soon, seeing that Kazan's striker had lost himself in their back-pass, Pique seized the opportunity and poked the ball.

"Snapped--"

The moment Alves received the ball, he wanted to pass it to Charles, but Noboa did not give him this chance at all.

Under pressure, Alves could only pass the ball back again.

That's it!
Pique spotted Charles' position and passed the ball to him, rubbing it above the ball.

The ball went straight across half the field to find Charles.

Charles never thought that while he was still practicing the Dragon's Kick, the Dragon's Regrets, and the Aircraft Carrier's Turn on the court, the ball found him directly.

At this time, there were only a few players left in Kazan's half. When Salukovadze and Sharonov saw this scene, they moved as fast as they could, as if there were wolfhounds chasing them.

Damn, Salukovadze couldn't help but curse in his heart. If he was really a street lamp, he wouldn't have to run so hard now.

Rizhikov stood on the goal line and didn't know what to do for a moment.

He looked at the No. 77 on his body, then looked at the No. 7 of Barcelona in front of him, and finally plucked up the courage and attacked directly.

He has two No. 7s, so he must be twice as powerful as Charles, right?
And if he saves the ball, it means he is good. If he fails to save the ball, he will scold the defender.

Charles glanced around him and saw that there was no one there. As for the street lights and the people who took taxis, they were all behind him.

At this time, Rizhikov also rushed out.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

Neither of them gave in to the other and rushed towards each other face to face.

"The Kazan goalkeeper is attacking, and Charles is still dribbling the ball. The two are about to collide."

"Wow, Rizhikov stopped and stretched out his hand to hold the ball, but his hand slipped. Or Charles kicked the ball when the goalkeeper stretched out his hand, and the goalkeeper missed... Wow, Charles did a backflip and passed the goalkeeper... Straight into the empty goal! Shoot... The ball went in!"
