Perfect Center

Chapter 51 The second half of the game!
After the goal was scored, there was little time left in the first half.

After Benzema's long-range shot missed the post, stoppage time expired.

Beep! Beep~~
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game!

The score on the LED board in the air was fixed at 1-2.

"Okay, the first half is over!"

"Dear audience, let's go to commercial break and come back later!"

Xia Han walked off the field with his teammates, and the fans in the stands applauded and cheered again to celebrate his goal!

"Xia, that shot was awesome!"

"Score another goal in the second half!"

"Too fierce!"

Inside the Zalgiris dressing room.

Dambruskas did not talk about tactics first, but praised Zalgiris' players.

"You all did a great job! Facing Real Madrid's full-powerful forward line, you only conceded two goals, which is great!"

"Especially Xia! You did a great job! That long shot of yours was so domineering!"

"You should be fine, don't hurt yourself."

Xia Han shook his head, his body was not under too much pressure and it was within his tolerance range.

After motivating Zalgiris' players, Dambruaskas dragged the tactical board and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

The second half mainly relied on Xia Han's individual combat ability.

If there is an opportunity to counterattack, then counterattack. If there is no opportunity to counterattack, then set up a solid defense and try to defend as much as possible and don't lose the ball again.

"If we can hold on to defense and end the game with this score, we can also hold our heads high and thank the home fans for their cheers!" Finally, Dambruaskas looked at the LED screen on the green field and spoke excitedly to the players.

The Real Madrid locker room on the other side.

Benítez frowned and looked at Modric on the bench, asking him to be ready to play in the second half at any time.

"We are still in the lead, so we need to play steadily in the second half and not give the opponent any chances!"

"We need to stifle and restrict the No. 14! He has many different ways of shooting, so pay attention!"

“The burst-starting ability is too strong, and it also has imagination and creativity!”

"If this kid goes to a stronger club next season, he will pose a big threat to us!"

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed in a flash!
Players from both sides return to the field.

The little fan in the stands stretched out his hand to Xia Han and said in a baby voice: "Xia! Big hero! Score another goal!"

"Of course!" Xia Han said seriously after bumping fists with the little boy.

"Good evening, audience friends! Welcome back!"

"Now broadcasting live for you is the second round of the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League group stage, Group A!"

"Zalgiris hosts Real Madrid in the second half!"

"After a fierce confrontation in the first half! Real Madrid is currently leading the game with a one-goal advantage! The score is fixed at 1-2!!!"

"Neither side has used their substitution quota yet!"

“Let us look forward to the wonderful performances of both teams in the second half!”

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle!
The second half of the game officially begins!
The ball goes to Zalgiris!

There was no short pass penetration, the football was controlled, Xia Han kicked the ball back to Pilibati and then made a long pass forward!
Snapped!
The football flew high and found Xia Han who was making a forward run!
Facing the double-team, Xia Han made a desperate move, but was fiercely intercepted by Kovacic! With a swish, the referee took out a yellow card from his chest pocket and pointed it at Kovacic who committed the foul.

"Less than a minute into the second half! Kovacic from Real Madrid has already received a yellow card!"

"He was very emotional. He thought this action should not be a yellow card, but the referee turned a deaf ear and insisted on his decision!"

Xia Han ignored the argument between the referee and Kovacic, simply adjusted his shin guards and looked towards the Real Madrid goal!
Zalgiris takes a free kick.

Xia Han and Pilibatis stood in front of the penalty spot.

"Just pass it to me diagonally later! I'll see if I can create a closer free kick." Observing that the goal was far away, Xia Han's direct free kick was unlikely to threaten the goal guarded by Navas.

"Okay, I'll give you a larger amount in advance." Pilibatis nodded.

The two started at the same time. Xia Han rushed directly from the side of Casemiro who was acting as a human wall. Pilibitis took a tactical free kick and made a diagonal pass with plenty of advance warning.

"Oh no, it went crooked." Pilibatis looked at his left foot in annoyance. The diagonal pass he sent was too slanted and was about to reach the end line.

Xia Han observed the route of the football and accelerated!
He barely saved the ball before it rolled out of the baseline. Looking at Arbeloa who was already approaching, Xia Han used his bicycle kick to push the ball directly with the outside of his left foot and eat Arbeloa alive!

Xia Han dribbled the ball at a fast pace, passing through Arbeloa's defense, but Real Madrid restricted him in the second half and Casemiro retreated.

After Xia Han broke through and devoured Aveiroa, he ran headfirst into Fat Tiger's defense.

Casemiro blocked Xia Han's breakthrough route, and Varane blocked Xia Han's options on the other side.

Xia Han lowered his shoulders, took a step forward, and passed the ball to the right!
Casemiro reacted in time and blocked Xia Han's position.

Varane, who was well prepared, burst into speed at the first moment, snatched the ball from Xia Han and kicked the ball towards the front court.

"Zalgiris's free kick opportunity, tactical kick! Pilibatis, the angle of the kick is not good!"

"Hey! Xia Han successfully saved the ball! But Arbeloa pressed forward! Xia Han pushed it lightly and relied on his powerful explosive power to break through the defense!"

"Casemiro's blockade, how will Xia Han deal with this attack!"

"Do you still want to eat Casemiro alive? Alas! There is no way! Varane cleared the ball in time! The football flew high!"

"At the beginning of the second half, Xia Han gave us a wonderful performance!"

Varane kicked the ball to a position near the center circle.

Kovacic got the first point immediately and passed it to Isco who was on the wing.

The football quickly moved to the 40-meter area of ​​Zalgiris.

"Varane's long clearance! It became a counterattack opportunity for Real Madrid!"

"The violent offensive is going to make us breathless again!"

Zalgiris' defense was abused, but fortunately the iron bucket formation had been practiced several times and Real Madrid did not find any good opportunities.

Isco's breakthrough on the wing.

Facing Vitkunas who couldn't hold back his kick, Isco easily pushed the ball forward and exploded quickly!

Strongly passed Vitkunas' defense.

A cross from the wing after a burst of speed!
The cross was disturbed by Sverrjuga who came to defend and the quality was not very good!
Bang!
Benzema's powerful header hit the crossbar!

The sideline popped out!
Ronaldo, who was running towards the open space on the wing, spread his hands to express his dissatisfaction. If the ball had just been passed to him, he could have shot directly in the open space and scored a goal, expanding the lead, and he could have scored twice!

Benzema covered his head and smiled foolishly to express his embarrassment.

Dambruskas on the sidelines and the fans in the stands all broke out in cold sweats.

On the other side, Benítez stepped on the grass in annoyance.
