Andrei Kalashnikov, who had just been substituted, was eager to make a contribution. Facing Ion Martinez's defense, he chose to break through directly with the ball, hoping to eat his opponent alive with his own speed.
But he underestimated Ion Martinez, who could win the World Cup with the Spanish national team.
Just when he put the football out, Ion quickly turned around and stepped in before he could pick up the speed, separating Kalashnikov from the football.
Because the time was just right, it was not considered a blocking foul.
After blocking Kalashnikov, Ion took control of the football again.
Faced with Kalashnikov's personal interference from behind, he first made a fake move to turn around in the direction of the penalty area. After successfully deceiving the opponent to deflect his center of gravity in that direction, he immediately used the outside instep of his right foot to move the football to the sideline.
Turn the direction, and at the same time turn your body in that direction, just passing by Kalashnikov!
It was too late for Kalashnikov to turn around and was blocked by Ion.
After Ion took the ball and ran forward two steps, attracting the defense of Madrid Kings midfielder Albin Estrom, he passed the football across to Joaquin Vela, who met him in the center.
In front of Ion Martinez, the nineteen-year-old Kalashnikov was still too young.
It's not difficult to defend Ion.
But captain Juan Ramirez is under a lot of pressure.

"Merry!"
"Merry!"
"Merry!!"
In the commentary box, commentators from all over the world shouted the same name in different languages.
At the same time, the stands at Crown Stadium erupted in cheers.
On the court, Melly is dueling with Ramirez.
His left foot crossed over the football, a simple pedaling of a bicycle. Because the movement was concealed and the amount of lift of the foot was very small, it was extremely deceptive.
People don't know if he really wants to move the football to the left, or if he is just pretending to ride a bicycle.
Ramirez was unmoved by the move.
Sure enough, Melli was just a fake move, and his right foot followed the move towards the football.
Ramirez judged that Melli was coming for real this time, so he raised his foot and prepared to intercept.
But just when he lifted his foot, Melly's foot touched the football one step ahead of him, and he lightly poked the football with the toe of his right foot!
The ball went between Ramirez's legs and penetrated his crotch!
Ramirez's reaction was quick enough. He turned around immediately and opened his arms slightly to block Melli behind him.
But when he realized that he might not be able to stop Melli, Ramirez immediately made a decision - he directly tackled the football with his foot!
Melli poked the football out first!
He didn't completely destroy the football, he just shoveled it away a little, and Melli could continue to chase the ball.
But his tackle undoubtedly broke Melli's original dribbling rhythm, and he had to speed up again and pay a greater price to try to regain the ball.
This greatly increased Melly's offensive costs.
Not to mention that Ramirez's shove brought the football closer to Pirates center back Moreno.
Moreno only needs to step forward to get the ball earlier than Melli.
He made a gesture of trying to clear the ball with his big foot, but when his foot really touched the football, he suddenly withdrew his strength and pushed the football past Melli who jumped up to block him. He also brushed past Melli and then pushed the football towards
Prequel - At this time, the Pirates are still thinking about using counterattacks to contain the Madrid King's offensive, instead of being frightened and having to make a big clearance.
After playing for two seasons under Parotti, who emphasized passing and control, the Pirates players knew that successful defense definitely did not give the ball away.
Only by controlling football on your own side can you increase your team's chances of winning the game.
Merry's attack failed this time, so he didn't stay where he was and sigh, but quickly turned around to fight back - there was not much time, and he didn't have the time to act out the drama of suffering here.
The game time is getting shorter and shorter, and the Madrid King's hope of winning this game is getting slimmer and slimmer.
When there are less than thirty minutes left in the game, scoring three goals in a row is not impossible, although it is difficult.
But when there are still fifteen minutes left in the game, if you want to score three goals in a row against a team like Madrid Pirates, it is basically a fantasy.
So the more pragmatic idea now is to score two goals in a row and equalize the score.
At least we can't lose to our archrival at home.

Melly retreated to the central midfield position, and Royvi wanted to use his dribbling ability to drive the King's offense.
The original offensive midfielders Dudu Carlos and Albin Eström retreated further and fell into the defensive midfielder position.
The midfield configuration changed from the original inverted triangle to an upright triangle.
But this does not mean that the Madrid King's offensive will slow down, on the contrary, it will become more fierce.
Although the replaced Madrid Pirates midfielder Damian Dea is on the right, he actually comes up to help Ramirez defend, so he often has to drop back to the center.
As a result, the Madrid Pirates only had right back Jose Irazusta on the right wing, and the Kings' left back, Brazilian international Russell Fonseca, frequently came up to participate in the attack, putting pressure on the Pirates.
In response to this situation, Parotti made adjustments on the spot and asked forward Dikunzo to follow him to the wing to defend and curb Russell Fonseca's crazy insertion.
There is a Hulay in front of you in the middle, which can be regarded as some kind of "strategic deterrence". Warn the two central defenders of the Madrid Kings not to press easily, we still have the power to threaten your goal.
The game time passed quickly like this in the back-and-forth between the two teams.
The game entered the last ten minutes, and the Kings' offensive became even more crazy. Damian Daya, who came on as a substitute, stopped Melly's attack with a foul and a yellow card, helping Ramirez share the pressure. Otherwise, it might not be good this time.
It was Ramirez who got a card, then two yellows turned into one red, and he was sent off directly...
Even Hu Lai retreated to the center line and participated in the defense.
In the 84th minute, he chased Melli, who was retreating to get the ball, and seemed to have a direct conversation with the Argentine.
But he only took two steps and was left behind by Merry.
Fortunately, with the joint defense of the Pirates players, they were able to withstand the Kings' offensive.
Just as the football flew out of the baseline, Hu Lai sat down on the ground and waved to his nearest teammate, Joaquin Vela: "Hurry, Joaquin, I'm cramping!"
Bella quickly came up to press his legs.
Seeing this, goalkeeper Hewel pointed in the direction of Hu Lai and signaled to the referee that there was an emergency on the field.
Then he just stood there and didn't go to the ball boy to ask for the ball. Even though the ball boy had thrown the football back onto the court, he turned a blind eye.
He made up his mind that if the situation on Hu Lai's side was not handled well, he would not kick off.
There were boos in the stands, but I don’t know whether it was aimed at Hywell or Hu Lai...
The referee signaled a pause in the game, and he turned around and ran to see what was happening on Hu Lai's side.
The boos in the stands got louder.
When the referee ran over, Hu Lai was on the ground grinning.
The referee asked: "How is it? Do you want the team doctor to come up and check?"
Hu Lai waved his hand quickly: "Okay, okay soon..."
Then he said to Bella: "Okay, Joaquín. Help me up..."
Joaquín Vela put down Hulay's cramped left leg and pulled him up from the ground.
Hu Lai tried to take two steps on his own. Although he was still limping a little, he still nodded to the referee: "I have no problem, sir."
The referee nodded, ran back to the front, and signaled Hywell to take a goal kick.
The Belgian national goalkeeper ignored the football that had been thrown into the field and turned around to ask for the ball from the ball boy - such a naked act of delaying the game was naturally stopped by the referee. He pointed at the football that was already in the penalty area and signaled to the ball.
Will uses that ball.
Only then did Hewel reluctantly walk over to place the football...
Fortunately, in the second half, the North Stand where die-hard Kings fans gathered was not behind the Pirates' goal, otherwise he could clearly hear the cordial greetings from those fans to his family's eighteenth generation ancestors.

At the same time, Parotti said to assistant coach Valentin on the sidelines: "Let Ruiz warm up."
Valentine turned around and ran over to shout people from the bench.
"Madrid Pirates' substitute forward Sanabria Ruiz was called up from the bench by the assistant coach to warm up. It seems that he is going to replace Hu Lai..." He Feng noticed the situation on the sidelines and reported to the TV
The audience in front analyzed.
"Julay had cramps in this game. You must know that cramps are very rare for Hulay. This shows how intense the Madrid derby is... This game was indeed very intense, and the high-intensity physical confrontation between the two sides was evident from the game.
The first minute has continued until now. The Madrid Pirates currently have four yellow cards in the team, and the Kings have also received three yellow cards... Fortunately, there has been no red card in this game so far... "
"At this point in the game, the Pirates are actually getting closer to winning their first win at the Crown Stadium in the past four years... Including injury time, the remaining time should not be more than ten minutes. Madrid
It’s very difficult for the Kings to score two goals in a row during this period, it’s almost impossible!”
What He Feng said was a bit harsh, but no one cared about it.
Because everyone thinks he is right.
Thanks to Tojule, the Pirates now have a two-goal lead.
In other words, Madrid Pirates have sufficient "strategic depth".
Even if they failed to hold on in the last few minutes and conceded a goal, it would not affect the final result.
Even the Madrid Kings players were a little discouraged.
Mellie is still looking for opportunities.
He seemed completely unaware that even if he could score a goal, it would not change the outcome of the Kings' defeat.
He dribbled the ball on the left wing and tried to break through, but the ball was poked out of the sideline by Irazusta.
Melly immediately turned to the caddy and asked for the ball.
The home ball boy also understood very well and quickly threw the football to him.
After receiving the ball, Melli turned around and threw the football into the field.
But at the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded - he signaled Melli to wait a moment before serving the throw-in, because another situation occurred on the field.
Hu Lai sat down on the ground again, holding his left leg with both hands, his expression in pain.
He had another cramp.
Melly spread his hands and looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed.
How could he not see that Hu Lai was deliberately stalling for time?
But what’s the use of seeing it?
Just like the boos ringing in the sky at this moment, it was deafening, but it couldn't change anything.
King of Madrid, defeat is certain!
