"Ruhr Rhein dared to play against us at our home court and press high..."
exclaimed Madrid Pirates assistant coach Jesus Valentin.
In the first half of the game, Ruhrlein kicked off. They did not end their round hastily, but took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to plan a quite threatening attack.
It can be seen that Ruerrhein head coach Kuhn has specially designed this kind of kick-off attack.
However, although the attack was threatening, it did not really break through the Madrid Pirates goal.
So next everyone thought that Ruerrhein should shrink its defense, place a bus in front of the goal, and prepare for the indiscriminate bombardment of the Madrid Pirates.
Unexpectedly, when Hywell was about to take the goal kick, the Ruhrlein players did not retreat to their own half, but most of them were in the frontcourt, maintaining one-on-one marking.
Then, when Hewel kicked the football forward, the Ruhrlein players retreated one after another.
But as soon as the Madrid Pirates pass the football back to their own backcourt, the Ruhrlein players will immediately step out, basically achieving a one-on-one marking of the Madrid Pirates players in the frontcourt.
It is difficult for the Madrid Pirates to pass the ball continuously in the backfield, so they can only pass forward with big feet.
However, the accuracy of big-footed long passes is not as good as that of short passes, which will greatly reduce the success rate of Madrid Pirates' offense.
This is a very typical high press.
"Maybe it's because they know their defense can't prevent us from scoring," second assistant coach Enzo Nacher said.
"It doesn't matter." Head coach Parotti covered his mouth with his hands and said to the two assistant coaches beside him. "No matter what tactics they use, it will not affect our style of play. They fight theirs and we fight ours."
They even saved us trouble by pressing from a high position. We didn't have to worry about how to break their big formation.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up from his seat.
Because he saw Vukovic pushing the football straight into the penalty area.
Hu Lai made a diagonal run and shot directly without stopping the ball!
The ball was blocked by Ruerrhein goalkeeper Simon Koenigs!
Although he did not score a goal, Parotti still applauded his team's attack from the sidelines, and finally gave Hulay a thumbs up.
"I want to say... facing their onslaught, is it really possible for us to score first than them?" Assistant coach Moritz Reiden asked, looking at the Madrid Pirates players who were attacking his team on the field.
It was almost ten minutes since the game started. Although Ruhrlein adopted a high-position press, the Madrid Pirates still had the upper hand.
"I don't know if we can score first, Moritz." Kuhn looked at the game going on on the field and shook his head.
"But I know that this is our only option. The whole world knows that the Madrid Pirates have only one option, and that is to return to home and attack wildly. But in fact, we also have only one option, Moritz. To defend blindly is to block
If you can't stop them. In other words, you can't stop Hu. He must be in good condition today..."
Having said this, he turned his attention to Ruhrlein's main center Janus Edman.
"Of course, our Edman is also in good condition. Let's see who has the faster knife...
"The game has started for almost ten minutes, and the ferocious offensive of the Madrid Pirates has continued for almost ten minutes. Ruhrlein did not set up a bus in front of the goal to defend, but unexpectedly chose to press high. During this time, they also
I got two offensive opportunities, but the quality was not very high..."
The commentator is introducing the situation on the field.
While talking, the Madrid Pirates launched another attack.
Ruerlein still pressed high in the midfield, but due to Joaquin Vela's clever reverse movement in the midfield, John Sett, who was following up, was opened up, allowing Vukovich to pass the football to
Hu Lai retreated to respond.
Parotti did not predict that Ruhrlein would use a high press before the game, but he quickly made his own on-the-spot adjustments after the game started.
He asked the two forwards, Hulay and Dikunzo, to take turns to retreat and participate in the passing of the midfield.
Isn't Ruerlein marking one on one?
As long as one of Hulay and Di Kunzo withdraws, this balance can be broken.
DiQuinzo can carry and pass.
Although Hulay is not good at dribbling, he has trained with Madrid Pirates for three seasons and has already integrated into the Pirates' passing and control system.
Let him participate in the team's passing, and he can definitely become a qualified part, and the football will not become stagnant under his feet.
Hu Lai, who retreated to receive the ball, was unmarked, so he could even turn around calmly after receiving the ball and dribble the ball forward.
Of course, when Ruerlein's midfielder Herbert Petrov came towards him, he did not stick to the ball, but immediately gave the ball to Kamara on the wing.
Then he accelerated forward on his own.
After Kamara received the ball from Hulay on the wing, he first dribbled the ball forward.
Ruerrhein's left-back Stefan Cobb moved up to pursue him.
When approaching the thirty-meter area, Hu Lai stabbed his right ribs diagonally.
And Kamara suddenly cut the football inwards.
Stefan Cobb was just trying to compete with Kamara for speed, but he didn't expect the opponent to hit the ball with his heel and cut inside during the high-speed sprint!
He braked reflexively, stretched out his hand to pull the ball, and stretched out his foot to poke the ball.
All came to nothing.
He only grasped a ball of air in his hand.
He didn't kick the ball at his feet, but tripped Kamara.
Kamara fell to the ground and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.
"This is the first free kick of the game for Madrid Pirates!"
Cobb, who committed the foul, was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision. He believed that he did not commit a foul and it was Kamara who dived.
After all, everyone knows that Kamala loves to flop.
So after he got up, he didn't go back, but ran forward to discuss the matter with the referee.
He made a diving motion with his hands, indicating to the referee that Kamara was probably diving.
As he did so, Kamala was getting up from the ground.
At the same time, he raised his head and saw Hu Lai looking at him in front.
There was no communication between the two, Hu Lai did not make any gestures to him, he just stared. Kamala immediately realized what Hu Lai was going to do.
This is the mentor-apprentice relationship the two developed from Leeds City to Madrid Pirates
Friendship...no, it's a tacit understanding!
So he quickly picked up the football next to him and put it on the ground casually, as if he really just wanted to put the football there.
But when he let go of his hand, he poked the football out with his toe!
Others are still bending over!
The direction in which the football rolled was exactly Hu Lai who had just stabbed his ribs diagonally!
At this moment, Cobb was still discussing with the referee whether Kamara had just flopped.
The defensive zone where he was was completely empty!
Hu Lai is in the space in his ribs!
"...Cobb made a gesture, he thought Kamara was...a quick free kick! A chance for the Pirates!"
As the on-site commentators suddenly raised their voices and roared, the broadcast that was replaying the scene where Kamala fell suddenly cut back to the live scene.
The audience in front of the TV saw Hu Lai receiving the ball in the corner of the penalty area!
And there is not a single player from Ruerrhein next to him!
"Hu!!" "Hu Lai!!"
The commentators shouted excitedly.
Not only were they excited, the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands were also excited.
Cheers suddenly sounded, and then quickly climbed to the top!
Li Qingqing, who was in the box, also suddenly stood up from his seat and leaned over to look into the field.
Xie Lan in front of the TV even simply held his breath, fearing that he would have to take a breath
Anger can affect my son...
With everyone watching, Hulay half-turned, took the ball from Kamara, took a step forward, then raised his right leg... and shot!
Ruerrhein's goalkeeper Simon Koenigs quickly moved forward to block the near corner when the football was passed to Hulay.
At the same time, lower your center of gravity and be ready to pounce at any time.
When Hulay turned around, he also adjusted the football to his right foot and shot with his foot. He jumped out.
The football was shot into the far corner!
He also rushed to the far corner!
But he didn't touch the ball!
Although Koenigs didn't touch the ball, he didn't panic in his heart, because with his coverage area, if he didn't touch the ball, it meant that the ball would not hit the goal frame!
The other person is still in the air, but his eyes have turned back following the football.
Then he saw the football turning in the air!
Hu Lai used the outside instep of his right foot to draw the football in an arc!
The football just went around Koenigs' fingers, hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the net! 4
"g00000000000000000ool!!! Hu!!! In the 12th minute, he pulled a goal back for Madrid Pirates! The total score is 1:2! The Pirates are only one goal behind! Well done! "
Sanchez, who was commentating on the game, soon lost track of what he said.
Even though he was wearing noise-canceling headphones, he couldn't stop the roar coming from the stands at Pirates Park!
The opening goal every Madrid Pirates fan hoped for... arrived!
