Luo Kai once again stood on the sideline of the red-top stadium.
In the Champions League, he is very used to standing in this place.
Although he still has the opportunity to start consecutive games in the league, he appears more often as a substitute in the Champions League.
This shows that in the mind of head coach Kevin Lock, he is still a rotation player and has not really become the team's main force.
Because when it comes to important games like the Champions League, he is rotated.
Starting in the league is also because the real main players need to be rotated and rested.
But Luo Kai did not lower his requirements for himself just because of this positioning.
He still regards every appearance as an opportunity.
As long as he tries his best every time, he will always be able to seize the opportunity and become a real main force.
"At the 70th minute of the game, Kevin Locke made a substitution adjustment. He replaced Luo Luo, a new force, and replaced George Payne. It can be seen that Locke planned to play defense in the last 20 minutes of the game.
Counterattack...Compared with Payne, Luo is faster and is indeed more suitable for defensive counterattacks..."
When Luo Kai ran onto the court, in the stands far away from the camera, the current score of the game was displayed:
1:0
The home team Tramed takes the lead.
The total score is 2:1, Tramed has a one-goal advantage.
There were twenty minutes left in the game, and the Turin Bulls, who were fighting against the odds, pressed forward across the board, trying to score a goal.
In response to this situation, Tramed head coach Kevin Locke replaced Luo Kai, but did not let him play as a right midfielder, nor did he let him retreat to defend like he did in the first round.
Instead, he was placed on the right wing.
The purpose is very clear. He hopes to use his speed and assault ability to threaten the Turin Bulls' defense and force the opponent to not dare to attack the whole line unscrupulously.
※※※
After Luo Kai came on the field, the game restarted. Tramed controlled the ball in the backcourt, and the Turin Bulls pressed forward with all their players, forming a high pressure.
In fact, they also know that such a high-post press has a lot of space behind them, and they also know what it means when Kevin Locke replaces Luo Kai.
But they have no other choice.
The Serie A giants have reached the edge of the cliff.
If we don't make a desperate move, we really have no choice but to say goodbye to the Champions League this season.
Last season, their opponent was also Tramed when they advanced to the fourth round. At that time, they defeated Tramed 3:0 at home. Even a 1:2 loss in the second round on the road did not prevent them from advancing to the fourth round.
powerful.
But now that the two teams meet again, just one season has passed, and the situation of the two teams has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the second round of last season, Tramed made a desperate move in the away game, and his frantic desire to score was also projected onto the current Turin Bulls.
What a turn of events...
Facing the Turin Bulls' pressing, Tramed seemed relatively calm.
Center back Scott Wilson, who took the ball, passed the ball back to goalkeeper Tom Walker under Caesar's pressure.
Caesar didn't stop when he saw this, he passed Wilson directly and rushed towards goalkeeper Walker.
Walker didn't stop the ball and passed the ball directly to the right back Joseva Iglesias who was pulling on the right side.
Caesar immediately turned around and followed the football towards Iglesias.
At the same time, Turin Bulls' left midfielder Mattia Tobic also pressed towards Iglesias.
Iglesias, who lost the forward passing route, had to pass the football back and then passed it to Scott Wilson in the center.
Caesar turned towards Wilson again.
Watching him running back and forth continuously, shuttling back and forth among many Tramed players, it is really hard to believe that this man is already thirty-seven years old.
He scored a goal for the Turin Bulls in the last round, and now he continues to fight for this team and is unwilling to stop.
Scott Wilson did not continue to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, but passed the football forward before Caesar and gave it to Connor Kirk who dropped back to receive the ball.
This time Caesar wanted to continue chasing, but when he changed direction, his foot slipped and he fell to the ground.
Tobic rushed to Kirk instead of him, and Kirk seized the space after he came up and passed the football to Iglesias on the wing.
After a series of passes, there were no Turin Bulls players around Iglesias.
He waded the ball forward.
After attracting other Turin Bulls players to pounce on him, he suddenly sent a through ball!
The football rushed forward along the sideline, and its target was Luo Kai who was receiving the ball in front.
Behind Luo Kai, facing the left back of the Turin Bulls, Erwan Arnette.
The French international was also performing high pressure, pressing past the midline from the backcourt. Luo Kai ran back to meet him, and he followed closely, almost ten meters away from the midline behind him.
His task is not to let Luo Kai complete the action of turning around and dribbling the ball forward.
Of course he knew that there was a large open space behind him.
But as long as Luo Kai can't turn around, there's nothing to worry about if there's room behind him?
If that doesn't work, he can still foul Luo Kai here.
※※※
When Kirk passed the football to Iglesias, Luo Kai, who was originally standing on the center line, began to retreat.
He could feel Arnett's breath behind him and knew that the other person had been following him.
It's very close and doesn't allow him any space to get the ball.
But Luo Kai didn't intend to take the ball.
Looking at the football rolling towards him, he suddenly turned to his left, which is the sideline!
While turning around, he supported his body with his left foot, raised his right foot, and let the ball pass under his crotch!
It also slipped between the legs of Arnett behind him!
Arnett had no idea that Luo Kai would get rid of him like this. He originally attacked Luo Kai, but by the time he saw clearly the movements of Luo Kai and the football, it was too late to react. He could only retract his feet reflexively, but it was too late.
!
The football flew between his legs!
And Luo Kai completed his turn beside him!
"Lo! Kai!!" England commentator Matthew Cox shouted excitedly, "Beautiful turn and escape! He succeeded!"
Luo Kai turned around and looked at the football rolling in front of him, speeding up to catch up!
In front of him is a plain "prairie" - the two defensive players of the Turin Bulls are guarding center Pap Bonnet and left winger Ricardo Barea in the middle.
The only defensive player here, Alvan Arnette, was left behind again.
The next thing is very simple, that is to attack with the ball!
Other players from the Turin Bulls were chasing after him, but Luo Kai didn't care at all.
He knows this is the best stage to display his characteristics!
Throw the ball!
accelerate!
wading ball
accelerate!
Throw the ball!
He only took three passes before reaching the penalty area from the midline!
And the Turin Bulls players behind him were still behind him, not closing the distance at all!
Pap Bonnet and Ricardo Barea also ran into the penalty area.
Among them, the fast Barea took the lead, rushing at the front, diagonally crossing from the side to the middle. He raised his arm to signal Luo Kai to pass the ball.
Luo Kai slowed down and adjusted his pace, making the Turin Bulls defensive players think that he was going to pass the ball to Barea, but he dribbled the ball forward again!
Unlike his strides outside the penalty area, every time he takes the ball in the penalty area, the distance is very close and the speed is not fast.
What needs to be tested at this time is not speed, but more precise ball control.
After two passes, he approached the small penalty area!
Goalkeeper Albertazzi abandoned the goal and blocked the angle of his shot.
But before Albertazzi blocked the angle, and before the chasing Turin Bulls players tackled him, he took the first step and pushed the football towards the back corner of the goal!
The football jumped over Albertazzi's legs and flew into the Turin Bulls goal!
"Oh oh oh oh oh!! Luo Kai! Luo Kai! Luo Luo Luo Luo Kai!! What a wonderful goal! My God! It's so wonderful! It's wonderful!" Cox held his head in his hands in the commentary box.
.
On the sidelines in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Turin Bulls head coach Matteo Zaccaroni had already put his head in his hands and half-knelt on the ground when he saw Roquet turning around.
He kept this posture and watched all Luo Kai's goals, and then punched the ground hard.
He has nothing to say, he has nothing to say about this ball!
He even just wanted to curse, the Italian curse!
After Luo Kai completed the shot, he was tackled to the ground by Turin Bulls player Thomas Cremonini who was chasing after him.
But he didn't care about this at all. After seeing the football flying into the goal, he got up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the corner flag area, and dove into the crowd of Tramed fans who had already crowded into the front row of the stands.
"Luo Kai! In the 76th minute, he expanded Tramed's lead! With ten minutes left in the game, Tramed led the Turin Bulls by two goals at home! This is really a magical moment.
Substitution! It's amazing! Unbelievable! Luo's goal can be selected as the best goal of this round of the Champions League! A long-distance run of more than 50 meters! A turn and escape full of aura and imagination, and lightning speed! Too much
Bravo!"
Ricardo Barria rushed forward, hugged Luo Kai tightly from behind, and shouted excitedly in his ear: "That's great, Luo! That's great! You deserve this! You deserve it!"
"
Luo Kai, who was in the crowd, tilted his whole body towards the stands, but he was not worried that he would fall at all, because he could feel countless hands lifting him and hugging him.
I felt as if I was in a warm ocean, my body undulating slightly with the waves, and I could hear the screams and roars of fans and teammates in my ears.
Vaguely, he felt that he had finally seized the illusory opportunity...
No, it is to tightly grasp the throat of fate!
If I can't occupy the main force in this way...then let the so-called fate die!
