It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 285 His Ace is Already 29 Years Old

"haven't seen you for a long time."

In the player tunnel, Hleb greeted Charles in accented Spanish.

"Indeed, but we will meet him in the league soon after we return."

Ciel said with a smile.

Hearing this, Hleb sighed.

He and Charles were on the same team for a very short time, and at that time his playing time was far less than Charles'.

Charles had little playing time, but his performance was visibly outstanding.

Instead, he performed poorly in that very short playing time and couldn't even bring victory to the team.

During this period of time, he gradually felt that his former peak was gradually fading away, and his declining body was slowly becoming a cage that imprisoned his consciousness.

But the former teammate in front of him, who had been on the same team for a short time, was the opposite of him, rising like the sun in the east.

Even if they meet again in the league, he is not sure he can still have a starting position.

"Let's not talk about the league for now. If you can break through me less often in this game, I will be very happy."

"That won't do," Charles said with a smile, "What if I don't go all out and you kill me?"

……

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

Belarus has the ball.

Rodionov quickly passed the ball back, and in the process, the formations of the two teams quickly dispersed.

Yurivich looked forward and found that there was no suitable space to pass the ball, so he could only pass the ball horizontally to Tigrev.

The moment after receiving the ball, Tigreve wanted to dribble forward, but under Benzema's pressure, Tigreve made a smooth turn and transferred the ball again.

As soon as Hittorf stopped the ball on the sideline, Ribery came up.

Tigrev next to him was already closely followed by Benzema, leaving no room for hesitation, and Hitov could only meet the ball with a lob.

The ball flew quickly over Ribery's head, and Kutuzov and Malouda rushed towards the landing point at the same time.

Before the request was even finished, both of them fell to the ground in the struggle.

Kutuzov stood up immediately, but Charles, who was not far away, was faster than him. Before he could completely shake off Malouda's control, the ball was already controlled by Charles' feet, and he followed his footsteps and sprinted forward.

Hleb, Martinovich and others quickly gathered around.

They know that even if they cannot prevent it, they have to fight for the only glimmer of hope before everything is over.

But Charles didn't give them any chance at all. Just when their encirclement was about to be formed, Charles pushed the ball outwards with the outside of his right foot.

Anelka in front of him began to slow down after receiving the ball. Charles, who was originally following behind him, seized the opportunity and sprinted forward at lightning speed.

For a moment, although the Belarusian players did not know what the French team was up to, most of the players still cooperated very well and continued to move towards Charles.

For his teammates, if they don't know what to do next, then pass the ball to Charles; but the same applies to his opponents, if they don't know how to move next, then follow Charles.

Soon, Charles, Benzema and Ribery stepped into the Belarus penalty area at the same time, and there were no Belarusian players to disturb them who stayed behind.

In his eyes, even though there were many defensive players in the Belarusian penalty area, they were basically surrounded by Charles. In comparison, there were very few defensive players around Benzema and Ribery.

Thinking of this, Anelka didn't hesitate at all and quickly kicked the ball with the inside of his foot.

"Snapped--"

The ball drew a clear arc in the air and flew straight to the front point.

Benzema, standing in front, jumped high and headed the ball into the goal.

Seeing that there was no way to stop the ball, Yurivich and Tigrev immediately gave up their original plan and rushed towards the goal.

Zevnov, who was originally holding on the goal line, attacked decisively and the ball hit his fist, but his force was in the wrong direction and the ball was not cleared away, but fell along his fist.

Charles wanted to make another shot, but Zevnov, who was just 10 centimeters in front of him, didn't want to give him this chance at all.

Zevnov leaned forward, forcing Charles to lean back.

Just as Charles was about to pull the ball towards himself with his left foot, Zevnov half-knelt on the ground at the same time, trying to hold the ball in his arms with his hands.

Facts have proved that those who use their feet will never be able to defeat those who use their hands.

Charles had just pushed the ball a few centimeters towards him, but all his efforts were wasted due to Zevnov's interference.

As he lost control of the ball, Charles, who was supporting himself on one foot, lost his balance and fell backwards.

Seeing that Zefnov was about to hold the ball, Charles tensed his left foot and barely knocked the ball out with his toes.

Zevnov had not anticipated this at all, and after missing the ball, he and Charles fell to the ground, completely losing control of the ball.

Jurivic and Benzema took the ball at the same time. Tigref, who was originally running towards the goal, saw Charles fall to the ground and rushed towards Benzema without mercy.

Benzema and Jurivic kicked the ball at the same time, and in the confrontation, the ball deflected towards Jurivic.

Charles supported himself on the ground with both hands, and before he could stand up, Zevnov in front of him stood up again and had already blocked the near corner.

Jurivic turned around quickly, and Benzema had caught up during this time, wanting to make another shot, but Jurivic blocked him behind him again, and at the same time poked the ball out with his right foot.

Tigrev, Omerjachuk and Yurivic formed a circle and rushed towards the ball at the same time. Ribery was blocked behind Tigrev and Yurivic, and Anelka was next to Omerjachuk.

At the same time, Charles stood up from the ground again, turned quickly, and attacked the ball from the farthest position.

"careful!"

Omelyachuk reminded loudly, and Yurivich realized something in an instant, and caught up with the ball in two or three steps at the fastest speed and with the biggest stride.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Yurivic felt as if he was hit by something. Just when his left foot was only a few centimeters away from the ball, Charles teleported from his side to in front of him in the blink of an eye!
Omeryachuk looked at this scene in disbelief.

They gathered together in such a narrow space, and the ball possession was basically theirs.

Moreover, Charles had already fallen to the ground before and posed no threat at all, but no one expected that after he stood up and turned around, he rushed into their encirclement from the farthest position!
Surrounded by enemies, Charles quickly tapped the ball with his left foot and then turned around gracefully.

Hitov, who was facing him, quickly stretched out his foot, but Benzema, who was in the gap between him and Tigrev, did not pay any attention to his defensive action, but accelerated and ran sideways.

At the same time, Charles swung his arms, tightened his right leg, and used the inside of his foot to meet the ball.

"call out--"

Hitov's eyes widened and he fell to the ground without hesitation, trying to expand his defensive area, but it was too late. He saw a white light flying past him and heading straight for the far post.

Zevnov, who was blocking the near corner, fell to the ground and dived sideways in a flash, but he was a step too late. The ball brushed his gloves and rushed into the net.

"The ball goes in, the ball goes in, France 1:0 Belarus."

"It was an incredible goal. Charles helped France take the lead not long after the start of the game." "From taking the ball away from Belarus, to transferring the ball, to the final one-on-four situation, to shooting in a narrow space, Charles gave us a perfect and extreme performance."

"After Charles fell to the ground fighting for the ball with the goalkeeper, all the Belarusian defenders thought he was no longer a threat. Even if a normal striker sat on the ground and couldn't get up in such a situation, no one would blame him. However, with the Belarusian players outnumbered, Charles used his incredible explosive power, tenacious fighting spirit, and superb skills to teach the Belarusian defenders a lesson."

"That is, when playing against him, never use the experience accumulated from their mediocre games to judge the limits of Ciel."

"No matter how much advantage we have in numbers, in front of him, it's just a few more pieces of paper defense."

"As long as you give Charles a chance, he will be able to turn the tables in an incredible way and pin you to the ground!"

"Although Benzema's goal efficiency is not high, and even his shooting skills have been questioned a lot during this period, as a center forward, he has not had many amazing performances either in the club or the national team."

"But the reason why he was able to secure his position as the main center forward in the national team is because he understood one thing, which is to give up that damn space when Charles is about to shoot."

"Let's watch the replay again and look at Benzema's movement. Although he didn't score, his movement allowed Charles to score. This is the performance of an excellent striker."

"Zevnov put his hands on his hips, with an incredible look on his face."

"The four players defending Shire were a little discouraged."

"Charles' existence may challenge their previous understanding of the ball."

"The Belarusian coach looked at Hleb on the field, and his trump card, his number 29, was already years old."

"The game has just begun, but Belarus doesn't have much time left. If Hleb was a few years younger, the situation on the field would be different."

"But the most regrettable thing is that there is no if in time."

Blanco clenched his fist excitedly.

He is indeed a genius coach. Even though he has just taken over the team, the team's performance is so perfect.

He believed that it would not be long before he could surpass Domenegue, who was only good at flattering others, in terms of honor.

He, Blanc, is the only light for the French national team coach!

The game starts again.

After the restart, the ball was passed back and forth between the Belarusian defenders.

The Belarusian coach on the sidelines frowned secretly when he saw this scene.

It wasn't that he specifically arranged for the players to calm down, but because the French midfield pressure was so terrifying that their defenders had no way to pass the ball.

The French players had no patience to watch their defender pass the ball back, and as Benzema pressed forward again, Jurivic could only launch a long pass again.

The ball quickly crossed the center line and flew towards Hleb.

His idea was good, but the result was not what he wanted.

Charles and Hleb rushed towards the ball at the same time. The 29-year-old Hleb was no match for Charles at all. It only took a few breaths for him to go from leading at the beginning to being one body position behind Charles.

Charles kicked the ball with his left foot. Anelka in front of him skillfully repeated the action of the previous goal. After receiving the ball, he immediately turned around and sprinted forward.

The Belarusian defense line hurried back. With the experience of the previous goal, the Belarusian players no longer focused all their attention on Charles who was on the side.

When Anelka saw this, he did not follow the process of the previous goal rigidly. Instead, he shook his ankle, and in the blink of an eye, the ball was at Charles' feet.

Omeryachuk's heart stopped for a moment.

I don't dare to get too close for fear of being passed by in an instant, but I don't dare to be too far away for fear of not being able to defend effectively.

Before he could figure out the specific level of defense, just as he stepped forward cautiously, Charles kicked the ball with the outside of his foot.

Omeryachuk quickly looked back and saw that the ball accurately found Ribery.

Ribery, whose shooting space had been blocked, headed the ball back. Malouda, who had also stepped into the penalty area, just stopped the ball with his chest. Kutuzov immediately raised his leg and cleared the ball.

The ball flew towards the midfield again. Sagna, who was pressing forward, raised his foot to stop the ball, but he misjudged and his foot was in vain. Kurchi behind him was overjoyed and rushed over.

Before Sagna could adjust, Kurci had already caught him and sprinted forward with the ball.

Just like the clarion call of a charge, the Belarusian players on the field sprinted forward frantically. At the same time, the French team's back line was empty, and Kurchi was almost like a one-on-one goalkeeper!

In the blink of an eye, Martinovich, Rodionov and Kurchi rushed into the French team's penalty area at the same time.

Sagna, Mexes and Klich finally arrived after rushing.

Sagna still wanted to make amends, but Kurci didn't give him the chance.

After determining the position of his teammates in the middle, Kurci flicked the ball with the outside of his foot and it flew directly in front of Sagna.

However, Rodionov was too far forward and Kurci passed the ball behind him in order to avoid Sagna.

Just as Rodionov turned around to receive the ball, Mex cleared the ball first. Rami, who was falling behind, had just stopped the ball when Martinovic rushed up immediately.

Rami dribbled the ball sideways and controlled it steadily under his feet. The anxious Rodionov could only run with him. Just as he was about to approach the sideline, Rami suddenly dropped the ball on the spot. Just as Rodionov continued to sprint forward due to inertia and surpassed him, Rami tapped the ball with his left foot, accelerated again and ran back, directly shaking off Rodionov.

Are you kidding? Even though he was treated like a sieve by Charles, can you, Rodionov, be like Charles?
Rami rushed to the center circle with the ball. Seeing that the Belarusian defense was about to be formed again, Rami was about to pass the ball to Clichy when he heard Charles' shout.

"Pass the ball!"

Without any hesitation, Rami saw Charles' position and shook his ankle.

"Snapped--"

Charles adjusted his position, and the ball just flew over, like a docile pet cat, curling up obediently beside the inside of Charles's foot.

Hleb hurried over, but unfortunately Charles had no intention of getting entangled with him, and when Diaby made a run, he quickly pushed the ball away with the outside of his foot.

The Belarusian players quickly changed their targets, trying to fill the new gaps with new running positions.

At the same time, Charles made a high-speed advance and Anelka tactfully made way.

Seeing that there were more and more defensive players in front of him, Diaby seized the opportunity and transferred the ball again with the outside of his foot.

Ribery accelerated again and after receiving Diaby's long advance pass, he made another diagonal pass to the middle without any adjustment.

At the same time, Belarus' defense was torn apart by the back and forth passes between Charles, Diaby and Ribery, leaving only Yurivich and Tigrev who were not completely thrown off.

Benzema missed the ball and Tigreve, who was following him, was left where he was.

Yurivich was breathing heavily, looking at Charles in the blue jersey, and forcing himself to keep pace with him.

Charles just kicked the ball with his left foot, then quickly flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot. With a simple deceleration and pause, he shook off Yurivic who had rushed past him.

Zevnov lowered his center of gravity and watched Charles's actions closely. At the moment Yurivich fell, Charles suddenly raised his right foot and shot the ball with great force.

"boom!"

The flying balls and cannons fired at nothing, and all the peaks were covered in white overnight.

Zevnov fell to the ground immediately. He tried to save the precarious situation as fast as he could, but Charles' decision did not give him any chance.
