Perfect Center

Chapter 85: Battle against Paris Saint-Germain (Part )

In the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments flowed like a waterfall.
-
[There is also such a strong inside cut! 】
-
[Xia Han has evolved again? ]
-
【More and more versatile! 】
-
[Using the Fenghua shampoo endorsed by Xia Han, drinking the Wolf beer endorsed by Xia Han, and watching the chip commercials endorsed by Xia Han, can I become more and more powerful! ]
-
[It's wishful thinking, a foolish dream! ]

Command area.

Dan Blauskás celebrates passionately with assistant coach Baga.

"It has to be Xia!"

"Be careful of the opponent's fast break after the kick-off. We felt much more relaxed after Xia scored this goal!"

Baga listened to what Dambruauskas said and gestured to the players on the field.

On the other side, Blanco, who was sitting in the coaching booth, stood up and walked to the edge of the court.

"Keep calm, keep a close eye on Xia, confront him, interfere with his shot, and let Trapp make better saves!"

"If necessary, you can foul him!"

"Don't worry, we have the leading advantage!"

The fourth official raised the flag at the center circle to mark three minutes of injury time.

In the final minutes, neither side was able to create any more shooting opportunities, and the ironclad midfield line arranged by Dambruaskas struggled to block Paris Saint-Germain's attack.

Throughout the first half, Pilibaitis and Lukesa were abused by Ibrahimovic, but they also stubbornly interfered with the forward line's advancement.

In the last minute of injury time, Rabiot's pass was cleared by Xia Han.

Beep! Beep! Beep!
As the football flew out of the baseline, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.

After Xia Han stood up, he cleaned up the grass clippings, bent down to adjust the shin guards on his legs, and looked towards Paris Saint-Germain's half.

Thiago Silva looked at Xia Han who was adjusting his shin guards in the center circle, and whispered with Marquinhos about the defensive work in the second half.

The cheers at the Zalgiris Stadium remained high even after the referee dispersed.

Intermission.

Inside the Zalgiris dressing room.

Dambruskas gave the players some encouragement and boosted their morale.

After quickly reviewing the first half of the game with a small tactical blackboard, he quieted down and let the players rest.

Xia Han looked at the tactical blackboard, then closed his eyes and reviewed the first half of the game.

On the other side, in the Paris Saint-Germain locker room.

Blanco and the coaching staff briefly reviewed the first half and made targeted arrangements for Zalgiris.

"A one-goal lead is not safe, and we continued to attack in the second half."

"Narrow the defensive distance between midfielders, defend Xia Han's attack well, and when he has no chance to touch the ball, get in on the attack and participate in the offensive!"

"Our overall strength is far greater than our opponent's. We should create more one-on-one opportunities and use our overall advantage to defeat Zalgiris!"

In the official live broadcast room, two commentators briefly summarized the data of the first half.

"The ball possession ratio between the two sides is 38 to 62!"

"Paris Saint-Germain completely took the initiative in the game, and the number of threatening attacks and threatening shots was higher than that of Zalgiris!"

"All four shots from Zalgiris came from Xia Han alone, and two of his shots on target created a goal. That's a very good shot conversion ratio!"

"The core of Zalgiris's attack! Two or three effective attacks were all centered around Xia Han's running and pulling!"

"Let's take a look at Xia Han's thermal image. He is more inclined to attack from the left. He has a high running distance and his physical fitness is very good!"

After the two commentators summarized the data of both sides in the first half, the live broadcast room began to replay Xia Han's cut-in shot and goal.

"Nice goal!"

The commentator and the fans made a comment at the same time.

After inserting the advertisement.

The fifteen-minute break was over quickly and the referee team and players from both teams returned to the field.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome back!"

"Now playing for you is the fifth round of the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League Group A!"

"Zalgiris sits at home in the second half of the match against Paris Saint-Germain!"

"Players from both teams returned to the field, and neither team made any substitutions at halftime!"

"Let's look forward to their wonderful performance in the second half!"

Beep!
With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Paris Saint-Germain has the ball.

Under Dambruauskas's arrangement, Zalgiris' formation became more and more contracted, reducing the risk of being hit from behind.

Paris Saint-Germain showed their fangs at the start of the second half.

The wall cooperation between Matuidi and Di Maria, coupled with Ibrahimovic's strong physical fitness, almost crushed Zalgiris' midfield barrier.

Xia Han retreated and actively participated in the backcourt defense.

His physical attributes have also achieved certain results due to his unremitting efforts. In addition, during rest time, he recovers his strength quickly.

Although his defense and interception attributes are mediocre and his defensive ability is average, Xia Han's defensive contribution is still good thanks to his keen judgment of the landing point of the football and the space on the field.

In the 30-meter area, Ibrahimovic passed the ball to Di Maria at the front of the penalty area.

Di Maria dribbled the ball sideways continuously and made a lob pass into Zalgiris's penalty area.

"Beautiful! Excellent lob pass!"

"Can you create a threat to the goal guarded by Klevenskas?"

The football lifted off the ground and flew over the defense line.

Cavani appeared at the first point where the football landed and headed the ball into the goal with great force!

Bang!
The football hit Fred Gimas straight in the chest!
Fred Guimas blocked the shot with his body, sacrificing himself to block this powerful attack!

The ball bounced and was not cleared far.

Janusauskas was quick enough to touch the football first, but his feet were not smooth enough to clear the ball.

Rabiot is about to take the ball and organize a second attack!
"Xia Han! Deep retreat defense! High level of active participation!"

Xia Han got one step ahead of Rabio, came to the football, and kicked it decisively!
The football flew high, flew towards Paris Saint-Germain's half, and then swayed out of bounds!
"Good retreat! Good clearance! Xia Han resolved Paris Saint-Germain's second attack opportunity!"

"It's a bit like Torres, Firmino and Mandzukic!"

The fans in the stands applauded loudly.

"Throw-in opportunity for Paris Saint-Germain!"

Paris Saint-Germain's offensive was like a tide, hitting the defense of Zalgiris layer by layer. In the 59th minute of the game.

Matuidi broke away from the defense and sent a cross from the left rib!

The football flew high and fell into Zalgiris' penalty area!

Cavani and Ibrahimovic stood in Zalgiris' penalty area like two big pillars!

The crowd is dense.

Cavani attracted some of the defensive attention. Ibrahimovic looked at the football flying towards him and his whole body was shocked!
Despite Kendish's interference, he suddenly jumped up and smashed his head forward!
boom!
The sound of close contact between football and head!

Faced with such a close-range header, Klevinskas could only try his best to make a save. His subconscious wave of his hand failed to block the header!
1-3! ! !

Zalgiris' goal was broken by Ibrahimovic's powerful header.

Ibrahimovic slapped his forehead, ran to the corner flag area passionately, jumped high and punched, showing his domineering nature!
"Swedish striker Ibrahimovic scored!"

"With this ferocious headbutt, he announced to the world his immortal will!"

"The score was rewritten as 1-3!!! Paris Saint-Germain once again expanded their lead and brought the score back to two goals!"

"Another assist from Matuidi. The French international's performance today was extremely powerful!"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[Ibrahimovic is riding high on the wave of success! 】
-
[The older it gets, the better it becomes, just like red wine, the better it gets! 】
-
[I feel that Da Fengxian can break the Ligue 1 single-season offensive record this season! 】

On the sidelines of the court, Blanco clenched his fists excitedly.

"That's it! Well done! A high pass from the wing, two big pillars of Ibrahimovic and Cavani headed the ball into the goal!"

"Or rely on Di Maria's sharp breakthroughs, and the attacking moves of Matuidi, Motta and Rabio in the midfield!"

"That's it!"

On the bench, "Military Advisor" Stanbury murmured.

The members of the coaching staff gathered together to discuss the next arrangements, and Stanbury also participated.

On the other side, Dambruaskas waved his arms up and down.

"Limit the quality of their crosses, disrupt them, and don't let them cross comfortably!"

"Know the limits, it's okay to take a card when necessary!"

The game resumed in the middle circle and time continued to pass.

In the 65th minute of the game, Vitkunas fell to the ground without any confrontation, and Dambruaskas made the first substitution.

"Vitkunas sat down on the grass, as if he had twisted something, and the players from both teams stopped."

"Dambrauskas made the first substitution. It seems that the veteran left-winger of Zalgiris can't continue the game. I hope it's not a serious injury. I wish Vitkunas a speedy recovery!"

Vitkunas was helped off the field by the team doctor, and his replacement as left back was Slingard.

As a useful player, he has never appeared in the Champions League. He has played 15 league games this season and his performance was average.

"Slingard, the 28-year-old player is making his Champions League debut, let's look forward to his performance!"

Three minutes later, Slingard appeared in the camera.

Faced with Di Maria's breakthrough, Slingard became anxious and hit Di Maria heavily.

Di Maria's center of gravity changed and he fell to the grass.

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle decisively, ran towards Slingard, and took out a yellow card from his pocket.

"Ah! Slingard received a yellow card as soon as he came on the field. It seems that he doesn't want to leave the field empty-handed!"

"Paris Saint-Germain gets a good free kick opportunity!"

"How will they take this free kick, a tactical free kick or a direct shot? The shooting angle from this position is not very good, it's too far to the left!"

Maxwell, Motta and Rabiot stood in front of the penalty spot and whispered, discussing the next tactics in a low voice.

Cavani kept jogging back and forth, pulling at Zalgiris's defense line.

Beep!
As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Motta rushed towards the football.

It turned out that Cavani, who was running a short distance, suddenly rushed into the penalty area and stood near the goal post. Kerla immediately followed.

It was not Motta who took the penalty. Motta stepped over the ball. Rabiot also stepped over the ball. Cavani stopped suddenly and stepped back quickly, putting some distance between himself and Kerla.

Fred Jimas' attention was also drawn.

Maxwell sent a very fast through ball.

Di Maria suddenly made a diagonal run from the right side of the penalty area and got rid of Slingard who was in poor form.

He took the ball, dodged Kendish with a flick and a dribble, created an angle, bent the bow and shot the arrow!
The football flew straight into the lower right corner of the goal like an arrow!
Klevinskas, whose center of gravity was leaning toward the far corner, dived sideways very quickly, but he was unable to block the shot, which had a tricky speed and angle.

The football went into the net along the lower right post!

1-4! ! !

"Di Maria's super low-profile slash!"

"The pressure was very strong and the ball was moving very fast. Klevenskas did a good job, but he couldn't stop the ball from entering the net!"

"Maxwell's exquisite through pass assist, Di Maria's connection after getting rid of Slingard was very fast and his shot was very accurate!"

"PSG scored two more goals in the second half! The score became 1-4!!! The gap between the two sides reached more than three goals!"

"The suspense of the game is getting smaller, and Zalgiris is in a desperate situation!"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[The suspense has become smaller, the suspense is over! 】
-
[Xia Han was average in this game. He disappeared after scoring a goal.]
-
[What else do you want after you've already scored a goal? Do you have to score a hat trick to show your performance and show that you're not invisible? ]
-
[I would think we had a chance if we were three goals behind at halftime, but if you are three goals behind with more than 60 minutes to go, your chances are really not very high.]

After scoring the goal, Di Maria smiled and made a heart shape towards the away stands, thanking the away fans who had come from afar.

The players on Zalgiris's defense line slumped on the grass, their morale clearly having dropped to freezing point.

The Zalgiris Stadium became much quieter. The impatient Zalgiris fans looked at the score on the LED big screen and chose to leave early.

In the 68th minute, the team was three goals behind and the players' low morale made them see no hope of a comeback.

A buzzer beater or a comeback? They think it's unlikely.

The fans who stayed behind cheered loudly for the players on the field.

Xia Han is still on the court, they will not give up easily.

"We can see that when the team was three goals behind, a small number of fans chose to leave the stadium early."

"But there are still more fans who choose to stay on the field, accompany their team to complete the game, and inspire the players!"

“Under the continuous shouting of the fans, the players of Zalgiris gradually stood up and looked at the players of Paris Saint-Germain with firm eyes!”

"No one wants to lose the game! Even if we lose, we have to lose standing up!"
