Perfect Center

Chapter 10 Victory! Silver Template Chest!
The game continues.

Zeidler used his last substitution, replacing striker Nelson with Laimer to strengthen the defense.

Zalgiris is in great momentum now, and if they play hard, they might concede more goals.

With Salzburg retreating, Zalgiris' attack was all talk and no action. He created several threats, but they were all blocked by Stankovic.

The 93rd minute of the game, the last minute of injury time.

Xia Han dribbled the ball to the left rib, looked up and made a 45-degree cross.

Enyuazi pushed aside Miranda who was pulling him, sprinted into the Salzburg Red Bull penalty area, and headed the ball into the goal!

The football was hit and, after bouncing on the ground, rushed towards the goal.

Stankovic's center of gravity had already shifted to the other side, and he watched helplessly as the football flew towards the goal.

Bang! The football hit the goal post heavily and bounced out of the bottom line!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Salzburg Red Bull 2-3 Zalgiris!
"The first leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League is so exciting!"

"Zalgiris played even better today! Although the tenacious Salzburg Red Bull equalized the score twice, they still won this evenly matched game thanks to Xia Han's amazing overhead kick!"

"A dark horse appeared in people's sight. Before the game, no one thought Zalgiris could win."

“Of course, in this game, the fans should pay more attention to Zalgiris’ No. 14 player – Xia Han!”

"In the second qualifying round of the Champions League against Malmö, he scored all the goals and single-handedly led Zalgiris to the next round! Fans also started to pay attention to his performance after that game!"

"We can see that after this game, many teams from the top five leagues will make offers to Xia Han!"

"We are also looking forward to Xia Han's next stop! Looking forward to his future!"

Post-match press conference.

The media reporters all pointed their microphones at Salgris' mouth.

"Coach, when will Xia Han leave Zalgris and move to a bigger stage?"

"We can see that Xia Han's performance is unparalleled. He can definitely play as a starter in the top five leagues. Do you want to make a deal in the winter window?"

"Through this game, we found that Zalgiris's defense is very weak. In a game of this level in the Champions League qualifiers, it is difficult to resist the attack of the opposing team. Do you have any plan?"

Danbruskas had a complicated expression.

These problems really caused him to be traumatized repeatedly.

He understood that Xia Han was going to leave, but he was still a little upset by the blunt words from these media reporters.

After adjusting the microphone and his mood, Dambruaskas said: "I have mentioned in previous interviews that Xia Han will eventually go to a bigger stage, and he will show his ability in the Champions League qualifiers."

"As for when he will leave us, it depends on our Champions League journey. I believe we can make it to the Champions League, and the Champions League is a great opportunity for Xia Han to train himself and broaden his horizons! If he goes to other teams before that, he may not be able to play in the Champions League. Of course, the most important thing is the time of the game."

"As for the weak defense, I have been trying to solve it, and I believe you will see results soon."

After the post-match press conference, the entire team returned to the hotel where they were staying. They will rest for a night before taking the return flight.

After such an intense match, none of the Zalgiris players were in the mood to go out for fun.

In the guest room, Xia Han absentmindedly held the game controller, replaying the several opportunities he had missed in the afternoon in his mind.

"I was almost able to score a hat trick and get the match ball." Xia Han felt a little regretful. The football for the second leg against Malmö had already been placed in his small dormitory by Xia Han.

As Xia Han continued to replay the game, the system's voice came quietly.

[Ding! Congratulations on winning the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League. ]

[Personal evaluation: SSS! ] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining the silver template treasure chest! ]

[Opening treasure chest...]

[Congratulations on obtaining: Di Natale's "Shooting Accuracy" template (incomplete)]

【Shooting attribute enhancement! 】

【Shots: 75→80! 】

The silver treasure chest turned into silver dust.

Drops poured into Xia Han's body.

The familiar coolness on the back of his head cheered Xia Han up.

Simple and standard shooting scenes emerged in my mind.

His feet were slightly numb, and Xia Han wanted to shoot a few times, but unfortunately the hotel he was staying in did not have any place for him to practice.

……

After the post-match press conference, Dambruaskas first analyzed the team's shortcomings and then its advantages in his post-match speech, and finally came to a conclusion: pass the ball to Xia Han!
Before the disbandment, Dambruaskas generously gave all the players two days off.

The purpose is to prepare well for the second round of the match on August 6th.

"Especially Xia Han, you must pay attention to this aspect!" Danbrauskas stared at Xia Han.

"No problem at all!" Xia Han was startled and raised his hand.

"You are only 16 years old, so you should pay more attention to the limit of your body load! Don't wait until your bones close and you get injured before you understand the negative consequences of training too long!!" Dambruaskas had already arranged for the security guards of the training base to keep an eye on you.

"I understand! I understand!" Xia Han nodded.

……

The next day, the security guard looked at the empty training base with satisfaction.

"Very good! Xia didn't come for extra practice!"

At this time, Xia Han was watching the game video of Salzburg Red Bull in the players' dormitory.

"The second round won't be easy either." Xia Han touched his chin, thinking about the second round.

The game video was turned off and the TV broadcast the results of other teams' games in the third round of the Champions League qualifiers.

Most of the games were evenly matched, with many first-leg games ending in draws.

Of course, there were also matchups with a huge disparity in strength in the first round.

Young Boys Bern of the Swiss Super League was defeated 1-3 by Monaco of Ligue , and Martial got an assist.

Xia Han took a quick look and saw many familiar teams.

"First we have to get past the Salzburg Red Bull!"

Zalgiris has three away goals.

If Red Bull Salzburg wants to advance to the next round, they have to beat Zalgiris 2-0 away from home.

Otherwise, Zalgiris will successfully advance to the next round with the advantage of away goals: the Champions League qualifying play-offs!
