Perfect Center

Chapter 23 Headed goal! Two yellow cards!
Corner opportunity for Zalgiris.

"First this... then this... then this..."

After discussing the corner attack arrangement, take your position.

Xia Han stood at the front of the penalty area.

"Hey! Let me see your header, kid!" Beaton, who was not far away, showed a sarcastic smile.

"Haha, you'll see it soon!" Xia Han smiled.

Beaton said nothing more, but there was contempt in his eyes.

It's a corner kick from the left side, and Pilibaitis takes the kick.

After raising your hand.

With a kick, the football spins outwards!

Facing the football in mid-air, Van Dijk and Bitton jumped at the same time!
Xia Han outside the penalty area took a run-up and kicked the grass hard, pushing aside Armstrong who was blocking him, and jumped high!

Like a tiger pouncing on the football!

Touch the football before Van Dijk and Bitton!
A fierce header!
The football hits the goal with unstoppable momentum!
Gordon had no time to react and could only flap his hands like a big moth!

Watch the football hit the goal!

Wow! The ball went in! The football flipped over the net!
1-0! ! !

The total score is 5-2!!!

Xia Han looked at the stunned Beaton and said with a smile: "Did you see my header?"

After saying that, Xia Han quickly ran to the corner flag area, jumped up and pointed his thumbs at number 14 behind him!
The fans in the stands cheered like an avalanche!

"Xia Han's header?" The commentator was stunned for a second, then said excitedly:
"Good shot! Xia Han's header! It breaks the Celtics' goal!"

"Xia Han caught the Celtics by surprise!"

"The Celtics obviously didn't expect Xia Han to have such a good heading skill!"

"Once this goal was scored, the Celtics were in a desperate situation! Let's look forward to the tactical arrangements made by Celtics head coach Deira!"
-
[Very good header! You can order an extra bottle of Coke for supper tonight! ]
-
[Is the tall Celtic guy still provoking Xia Han? Hahaha! He got slapped in the face! ]
-
【Xia Han is awesome! 】
-
[China's main center in the next ten years! 】

On the sidelines, Deira waved his arms in the command area, signaling to increase the number of people who should press the team in the frontcourt!

Pressure on the passing error of the Zalgiris players!
The center circle reopened.

The Celtics launched a crazy oppression!
At the signal of Dambruaskas, Zalgiris slowed down the pace of the game, consumed the physical strength of the Celtics players, and sought opportunities for counterattack!
In the 20th minute of the game, Zalgiris had a counterattack opportunity, and Xia Han rushed into the Celtic penalty area like a flash of lightning!

The defending Van Dijk had no choice but to commit a tactical foul and the referee showed him a yellow card!
Three minutes later, Brown took advantage of Gaucho's pass error and intercepted the ball!

After adjusting, quickly lift the ball to the middle!
Bitton was like an iron tower, resisting Lukesha's interference. After stopping the ball steadily, he passed the ball to Forest on the wing!

Forest glanced at Armstrong's rapid advance on the other side.

He kicked the ball hard with his right foot! The ball flew off the ground! It drew an arc in the air! It flew to Armstrong on the other side!
Armstrong easily stopped the ball and faced Kerla who was pressing forward.

The left foot kept shaking on the football, like playing the violin, it was dazzling!

After shaking off Kerla's center of gravity, Armstrong dribbled the ball! It was a blast!
Armstrong, who was lurking near the baseline, looked up and observed the middle road!

Delivered a high-quality cross!

The ball fell into Zalgiris's penalty area! Vitkauskas was the first to react, clenched his fists and hit the ball directly!
The football bounced to the front of the penalty area!

Griffiths magically appeared in that position, facing the ball in the air!

He suddenly exerted force with his right foot and kicked the football hard in the air!

All I heard was a loud bang!
The football in mid-air was driven by a huge force! It was violently deformed in mid-air!

It whizzed towards Zalgiris' goal!

Witkauskas didn't even have time to react to this fierce volley. He could only stand there in a daze, watching the ball go into the goal and lift the white net!

The Celtics scored a goal!
The total score is 5-3!!!

Griffiths ran into the goal, picked up the football in the net, patted his chest and ran back to the center circle roaring!

"The ball is round! We can turn the tide! We can win the game!" Griffiths shouted to the other players on the field.

"The Celtics scored a goal with tenacious efforts! A beautiful volley from Griffith!"

"This volley is so powerful that it's hard to save!"

"Griffiths picked up the ball and ran back to the center circle! It showed that Celtic had not given up! They were still fighting despite the difficulties!"

In the live broadcast room, comments were conflicting.
-
[Are you still thinking about a comeback? How can you lose with a four-goal advantage? I really don’t know! ]
-
[I don’t think so. Do the Celtics really have a chance? Believe in one sentence: the ball is round! On the football field, anything can happen! ]
-
[I choose to believe in Xia Han, he will definitely score a goal in this game! ]
-
[What a comeback! Let’s make it a famous game! This way I can also pick up the car! Don’t lose! Celtics! ]

"Keep attacking! Keep pressing!" Della waved his hand excitedly!
"We can slow down the tempo of the game, but we have to press fiercely! Increase the intensity of the pressing! And also do man-to-man marking! Don't give them any chances! In the end, their backcourt was very empty, and we had a good chance of launching a quick counterattack!" Dambruaskas calmly arranged the next tactics.

The game continues.

The Celtics' offensive was relentless.

In the 38th minute of the game, Lukesha looked at Griffiths who was advancing frantically.

Facing Griffiths' fake change of direction, Lukesha focused his eyes, stretched out his right toe and poked the football!

The football rolled to the left, and Lukesha sped up immediately, trying to stop the football and launch a counterattack!
Griffiths turned his head to look at Lukesha, quickly chased back and pressed, pulled the corner of Lukesha's clothes, and slammed into him.

Ruksha looked up and saw Shahan running at full speed, about to make a long pass.

But he was hit by Griffith and fell to the ground.

"What do you want to do?" Lukesha was furious because his good opportunity for counterattack was ruined. He stood up and looked at Griffiths who had an innocent face.

"What's wrong?" Griffiths looked at the referee who didn't express any opinion, shrugged and prepared to leave.

Ruksha got angry and rushed forward.

The two began to argue.

All the players from both teams ran over immediately.

When the referee saw that the situation was about to deteriorate, he pushed the players from both sides away and chose to give each of them 50 lashes.

Lukesha and Griffiths were each shown a yellow card.

Celtic's Bitton was not happy with the result, but when he saw the referee reaching into his pocket to give him a yellow card, he shut his mouth from the bottom of his heart.
