Perfect Center

Chapter 53 Tactical Free Kick!
The fans of Zalgiris watched every attack of Real Madrid with fear and trepidation.

After Vazquez came on the pitch, there were more breakthroughs on the wing and more team cooperation, which put a lot of pressure on the Zalgiris defense line.

Real Madrid gradually took control of the game, and Zalgiris finally got several counterattack opportunities.

Relying on his personal ability, Xia Han spared no effort in running in the frontcourt, trying to find a chance to score and score a goal for the team.

Xia Han's strong starting ability and prediction of the ball's trajectory allowed him to disrupt Real Madrid's defense, but it was only a disruption and there was no way to go any further.

Casemiro retreated to participate in the defense, and teamed up with Nacho and Varane to lock down Xia Han. Zalgiris had no other players who could break the deadlock.

In the 79th minute of the game, Casemiro teamed up with the defender to steal the ball and sent a long pass.

Accurately found Vazquez who was retreating to the wing to receive the ball.

Vazquez broke through the defense on the wing, cut inside and faked a shot before passing the ball to Benzema, who cleverly knocked the ball away with his heel.

Ronaldo's off-ball running to the blind side and his ghostly forward runs.

The football slowly rolled to Ronaldo's feet. After a slight adjustment, he swung his leg and shot the football!
A low shot to the ground!

The football stuck to the grass and rushed towards the goal!
Witkauskas's vision was blocked, and the moment the football rolled over, he dived sideways to save the ball as quickly as possible!

The glove was empty, touching nothing.

Witkauskas' heart sank. The fans in the stands, the coaching staff on the sidelines, and his teammates on the field were watching the ball whistling...

Hit the goal post of Zalgiris!

The frame of Zalgiris's goal trembled slightly, blocking Ronaldo's high-quality ground shot!
The whole place was in an uproar!

"Clear the ball!" Dambruaskas looked at the football that hit the goal post and bounced back, and shouted to the players on the field.

Benzema was the first to react and ran quickly towards the football that bounced back into the penalty area.

A push shot after a slight adjustment!
The football went straight towards the goal!

Bang! A crisp sound!

Fred Guimas, who came on as a substitute, used his thigh to block Benzema's sure goal!
Benzema held his head helplessly.

The players on the back line felt incredible and roared to vent their emotions.

Witkauskas couldn't help but touch the goalpost.

"Zalgris' goalpost was really evil today!"

"The crucial goal post! The crucial block!"

"The ball is round! That's football! There are countless predictable variables on the pitch!"

"The score was almost 1-4! But it was so magical! The magical goalpost saved Zalgiris!"

In the 82nd minute of the game, the fourth official raised the LED number board outside the center circle.

"Benitez used his last substitution!"

"Benzema missed many good chances, which led to Benítez making a change. The substitute was not Hesse, but another striker Cheryshev!"

"Let's look forward to his performance!"

Cheryshev and Benzema high-fived and ran onto the field.

In December, a rather famous event will take place, with Cheryshev and Benítez as the protagonists.

This incident had a huge impact on Cheryshev's career and became a major reason for Benítez's dismissal.

Dambruskas also used the last substitution, a positional substitution, with Gaucho replacing Shemberas.

"When you are on the court, you must also run actively. If there is a chance, you can go back and support Xia Han."

Gao Qiao nodded seriously to show that he understood.

"Zalgiris has used his last substitution!" "Substituting Gaucho will strengthen his offensiveness. In the final moments, Zalgiris will also fight hard!"

"Can they fight back! And score another goal!"

"The time left for them is running out!"

In the 84th minute of the game, Gao Qiao and Xia Han's active pressing paid off. Under pressure, Zalgiris got a chance for a throw-in.

Janusauskas was responsible for throwing the foul ball.

Several Real Madrid players immediately focused on Xia Han's receiving position, and Janusauskas and Xia Han looked at each other.

Instead of looking for Xia Han directly, Janusauskas threw the out-of-bounds ball to Kuklis who was not being pressed.

Kuklis saw an opening, shook off Cheryshev's outstretched foot and ran forward.

Xia Han accelerated forward at the same time.

He gestured to Kuklis to pass the ball to the left, then rushed to the right himself.

After Kuklis made a great effort, he pushed the ball hard with his right foot and the ball hit the target, spinning towards the left side of Real Madrid's half.

Xia Han suddenly counter-attacked, shook off the defenders, sped up, and dribbled the ball before Abeloa touched it.

Resist Aveiroa and speed up to eat him raw!
Arbeloa tried to pull and tug but failed to stop Xia Han from taking the ball, and Nacho quickly came to assist.

Casemiro also rushed over immediately.

Three men surrounded Xia Han. In the chaos, Xia Han's shoes were stepped on and fell onto the grass. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Beep!
Referee Chakir blew the whistle!

After giving a warning to the three people who were besieging him, he awarded Zalgiris a free kick.

"Free kick!"

"An opportunity for a throw-in! Kuklis passes the ball! Xia Han makes a counter-movement and successfully gets the ball and advances!"

"The replay showed that Arbeloa stepped on Xia Han's shoe, and Xia Han created a good opportunity for a free kick!"

"This distance is a bit far from the goal, but Xia Han has also scored goals in similar positions. Real Madrid needs to be more careful!"

Xia Han quickly put on his shoes, tidied himself up, and observed the human wall set up by Real Madrid.

Navas carefully directed the arrangement of the human wall.

Xia Han also has a good skill in free kicks, and the arc he kicks out is very terrifying.

On the sidelines, Benítez looked at Xia Han who was lowering his head, and felt a little uneasy.

Dambruskas prayed secretly in his heart that Xia Han's ball could break Real Madrid's goal.

The fans at the Zargiles Zalgiris Stadium dared not breathe, for fear of disturbing the players on the field.

Before the penalty spot, Pilibatis covered his mouth and whispered to Xia Han: "Xia, are you going to take the penalty? You can just shoot it!"

After Xia Han carefully observed the Real Madrid wall, he also covered his mouth and answered: "They should all be on guard against my direct shot. We can play a tactical free kick. You can take the penalty kick later. Just take the penalty to the empty space in the wall. I will be there!"

"When I speed up, you send it to me quickly, so that we can catch them by surprise!" Xia Han added in a low voice, covering his mouth.

Beep!
Referee Chakir blew the whistle!

Xia Han stepped over the football, and Pilibatis followed closely behind with a run-up.

Pilibaitis fakes a shot and passes the ball!
A through ball after making a shooting motion!
Snap!
The football was quickly passed diagonally to the empty space between the wall!
Xia Han accelerated in advance and got there before anyone else had time to react!
The ball follows the trajectory without stopping!
Get over the human wall!

Shoot directly from a small angle!
The football flies rapidly towards the far corner of the goal!

The ball passed through Navas' gloves and bounced off the post!
boom!
A crisp crashing sound!
Real Madrid's net was blown up!
2-3! ! !
