Perfect Center

Chapter 77: Heavy artillery in adversity!

"Oh no! Were the players of Zalgiris too nervous? They made a mistake in passing the ball, and Teixeira intercepted it sharply!"

"Luksha's foul! The referee gave a yellow card and Shakhtar Donetsk got a free kick opportunity!"

"Look who's going to take the penalty!"

Teixeira and Srna stood in front of the penalty spot.

Beep!
As the whistle sounded, Teixeira stepped over the football.

Srna had a determined look in his eyes. He ran up, adjusted, and shot directly!

The football passed by the human wall, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and flew towards the center of the goal!
Klevinskas was standing at the near corner, and he couldn't react in time. Before he could make a sideways save, the ball had already gone into the net!
The whole audience cheered!

Shakhtar Donetsk scored two goals at home in just five minutes!

After seeing the football flip the net, Srna rushed to the sidelines roaring and celebrated passionately to the fans in the stands.

Teixeira and the rest of his teammates also ran to the sidelines to celebrate.

"Srna takes the free kick! What choice? He chooses to shoot directly!"

"Another goal! Shakhtar Donetsk has expanded their lead! The ball fell into the goal like a meteor!"

"A beautiful free kick! This is the true strength of Shakhtar Donetsk's legendary captain Srna!"

"Srna, who played poorly in the last game, played well in this game, with a beautiful direct free kick!"

“Amazing!”

In the live broadcast room.
-
[It's not right to commit a foul in this position. ]
-
[It feels like everyone in Zalgiris is not in good shape! ]
-
[This substitute goalkeeper is really a bit mediocre, and there is no protection from the crossbar and goalpost! ]
-
[Zalgiris's home court is magical. 】

The fans at the Donbass Arena were filled with joy; there had never been such a wonderful start!

Lucescu on the sidelines looked calm, but the uncontrollable smile on his face revealed his inner joy.

"Just keep hitting them! Suppress them! Don't give them a chance!"

On the other side, Demblauskas had just returned to the command area from the coaching bench, and the newly opened bottle of mineral water in his hand fell onto the grass.

With a deep sigh of relief, Dambruaskas told himself it was no big deal.

Looking at the trembling assistant coach Baga, Danbruskas reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Step up the attack! We can't hold on if we're two goals behind!"

We are only two goals behind and there are more than 80 minutes left. Equalizing the game is not a problem!
The Zalgiris defense was lost and dejected.

Shakhtar Donetsk's offensive today was extremely swift.

"Cheer up! There's still a long time to play!" Captains Sviryuga and Xia Han loudly encouraged their teammates whose morale was low.

Dambruskas' gestures on the sidelines were also conveyed to the players on the field.

"Attack! Let's fight him head-on! The only way to get behind is to attack!"

Xia Han stood in the center circle, looking at the Lucky Gum and Mental Concentration Cards that had already taken effect on the system panel in front of him.

He shook his head and concentrated all his attention on the game.

In the following games, both sides launched aggressive attacks, and it gradually evolved into a fierce offensive battle!

After losing the ball, Zalgiris pressed forward aggressively! On the other side, Shakhtar Donetsk did not play a defensive game after taking the lead.

There was no delicate passing and coordination on Zalgiris's side, and he implemented the tactic of looking for Xia Han, repeatedly creating killing opportunities!
Shakhtar Donetsk used the advancing ability of the two full-backs and the dribbling ability of Marlos and Teixeira to create shooting opportunities.

The team's lagging situation also prompted Xia Han to use Batistuta's special props, shooting +2, footwork strength +3, but unfortunately both long-range shots were heroically resolved by the crossbar.

The offense and defense transitions between the two sides were extremely fast, which made the audience very excited.

The goalkeepers on both sides were a little bit in tears, and both sides' goals encountered thrilling moments many times. The quality of shots from both sides was very high.

Fortunately, after the team conceded two goals, substitute goalkeeper Klevenskas gradually regained his form and made outstanding performances in the face of several shots. The game continued at a fast pace until the 40th minute.

The high-intensity pace of the game caused the players on both sides to quickly consume their energy, and the number of errors in passing and coordination also increased.

There was a pass error between Bernard and Teixeira. Bernard gave too much lead time, allowing Ruksha to successfully intercept the ball.

Lukesha looked up and observed for a moment, then without hesitation, he kicked a long pass!
Snap!
The ball flew towards Shakhtar Donetsk's half and was passed to the goal post but not to the player.

Luksa gave a lot of lead time because Shakhtar Donetsk's right-back Srna had already pressed forward near the center circle.

Kuchel and Rakitsky quickly took their positions, ready to block Xia Han at any time.

Xia Han ran as fast as he could and caught the football falling in mid-air.

Just pass the ball and rush forward!
Xia Han dribbled the ball and rushed towards the penalty area of ​​Shakhtar Donetsk!
Rakitsky was responsible for forcing Xia Han forward and trying to intercept Xia Han's advance, while Kuchel was ready to provide backup defense in the back.

Azevedo chased back very quickly and rushed towards Xia Han's position.

"Players will make more mistakes in a fast-paced game. Look at this, Bernard made a pass error!"

"Lukesha made a long pass and it was quite accurate to Xia Han!"

"Rakitsky stepped forward to defend. Before the game, the bald warrior said at the press conference that after losing the game, he had been watching Xia Han's game videos!"

"Now he is the person who understands Xia Han best. He knows Xia Han's favorite fake moves and breakthrough routes very well!"

"Let's hope he can perform as he says!!"

"Can Xia Han break through his defense?"

Xia Han's expression was focused, his eyes sparkling as he watched Rakitsky rushing to the gun.

Slowing down, testing Rakitsky's center of gravity, and tending to use fake moves to confuse Rakitsky.

Snapped!
The football made a crisp sound under Xia Han's feet!
The eyes of all the fans in the stadium followed Xia Han's movements closely.

Making a fake move to the left, Xia Han pulled the ball and then knocked it with his heel.

The whole person relied on a powerful burst to instantly open up a space to the right!
"Ouch! Heel-kicked ball! Xia Han! He widened the distance between him and Rakitsky!"

"See what we should do with this ball?"

"Oh! This distance! Is he going to shoot?"

Everyone held their breath!

Watching Xia Han who was pushing the ball slightly and adjusting his shooting posture!
Tilt your body, swing your arms, and lift your feet!

Put all your strength into this kick!

Destroying mountains and rivers with force! An unrivaled aura of war emanated from Xia Han!

boom! !

Accompanied by a loud bang that echoed throughout the Donbass Arena!

After the surface of the football was violently deformed, it lifted off the ground like a missile!
It flew accurately towards the far corner of the goal!
A domineering long shot that comes like thunder out of nowhere!

Kaniborodsky leaped forward, trying to change the trajectory of this heavy artillery!

But the speed of this long shot was too fast!

The football, carrying a strong sound of wind, passed over Kaniborocki's gloves!

The net of Shakhtar Donetsk was blown up!
2-1! ! !

The entire Donbass Arena fell silent in an instant!
