As soon as Vukovich passed the football, the foot of Ruhrlein midfielder Herbert Petrov was tackled, and he had to reflexively jump up to avoid it.
He passed the football to Tonini, and the person who rushed towards Tonini with the football was Ruerrhein's right midfielder Patrick Littlemüller.
Facing the aggressive Litmueller, the Brazilian planned to do something fancy.
He tried to tip the ball over Litmuller's head with his toes.
But he still underestimated Litmuller's determination to attack.
Litmuller stepped forward and greatly shortened the distance between him and Toni.
So Tonini tipped the ball directly to Litmueller.
After the football popped out, Litmuller reacted more quickly and decisively. He squeezed in forcefully and turned around at the same time, separating the football from Toni.
Litmueller intercepted the ball and quickly moved the football away!
"Good shot! Litmuller intercepted the ball through aggressive pressing! Now it's Ruhrlein's turn to attack again!"
The target of Littmüller's pass was center Janus Edman, who dropped back to receive the ball.
The latter used his body to block Danny Drew. Drew stretched his foot forward behind him, trying to poke the football away, but was "kicked out" by Edman.
After holding Drew on his back, Edman passed the football across to John Settle, who stepped forward to respond, and he immediately turned around and accelerated forward.
"Ruhrlein's counterattack!"
Danny Drew initially followed Edman back, but as he ran, Edman moved to the side, but he could only stay in the middle.
After Sette ran wildly with the ball, when approaching the 30-meter area of the Madrid Pirates, he distributed the football and passed it back to Edman.
When Edman received the ball, standing in front of him was Madrid Pirates left-back Olaf Brynjolfsson.
The Iceland international, who started this game in place of Ion Martinez who was suspended due to a red card, saw Edman receiving the ball and moved closer to him.
After Edman caught the ball, he took the football directly into the penalty area without even raising his head!
Brynjolfsson moved laterally to intercept.
The two people bumped into each other in the next second.
But Brynjolfsson, who took the initiative to bump into him, was knocked back and staggered, lost his balance, staggered two steps and fell to the ground!
And what about Edelman?
Steadily brought the football into the penalty area!
"Beautiful!" the German commentator yelled. "Edelmann!!"
Edman, who had overturned Brynjolfsson, didn't take any more steps. Before he lost the shooting angle, he directly raised his right foot and shot!
The football flew against the turf towards the back corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Hywell fell to the ground to block the ball in front of him, but failed to touch the ball!
"EDMAN-EDMAN!! TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!!"
The German commentator in the commentary box raised his arms and shouted.
After Haywell fell to the ground, he looked back and saw the football in the goal. He punched the ground very angrily. He knew exactly what losing the ball meant!
Edman, who scored the goal, looked very excited. He opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area, and then performed a "dive bombing"!
When John Sett rushed up to celebrate the goal with him, he turned over and hugged the Norwegian again, shouting in his ear: "I did it! John! I did it! I scored again!"
"
Set hugged him hard: "Yes, you did it, Janus! This ball is so beautiful!"
More Ruerrhein players swarmed over and pushed the two of them to the bottom.
Ruerrhein head coach Leroy Kuhn raised his arms and shouted on the sidelines.
He hit the mark again!
He hoped to score the first goal in the second half through high pressing, and the goal appeared!
He feels that if he is really a gambler, he is also a lucky gambler!
"Edman helped Ruhrlein equalize the score again! The total score was 4:2, and they still led by two goals! When the Madrid Pirates chased the total score to only one goal in the first half, all Pirates fans may have thought
They were only one goal away from a comeback, but now, Edman has beaten them back to the start of this game! With a 0:2 score in the first round, want to come back in the second round? It’s not that easy!!”
The German commentator also raised his arms and shouted in the commentary box.
Spanish commentator Sanchez, who was not far away from him, put his head in his hands: "Edman's physical confrontation ability is really unbelievable. He is only 20 years old... Look at this ball, Brynjolfsson seems to have hit it."
A wall! The situation is terrible. The two sides are back on the starting line. Fifty-seven minutes have passed and the score is still at the same level..."
He Feng in the studio lost his voice for a moment when the football rolled into the goal.
For him, who had been looking forward to a comeback from Madrid Pirates since the halftime break, the blow caused by conceding the goal was too heavy.
When He Feng lost his voice, Yan Kang took over the commentary job. He sighed: "From the moment Parotti chose to launch a desperate attack at home, this is actually the reality that everyone can expect but are unwilling to accept - with
With the recent state of Ruhrlein and Edman, how could they not score against the Madrid Pirates whose defense is riddled with holes? Parotti chose a big gamble, and he had to bear the corresponding risks... But
What else can Madrid Pirates do besides attack? They can only attack..."
"This is the Champions League semi-finals..." He Feng came back online, "At this stage, no opponent is easy to deal with. And no game is easy. No matter whether it is tactical choices or player status, Ruhrlein has nothing to lose.
It’s nitpicking. They didn’t relax just because they were ahead by two goals in the first leg... This is why in the 38 years since the Champions League was restructured, only Stan Park Rangers have done it once..."
"How else can we say that after the restructuring of the Champions League, no team can successfully defend the title? In modern football, it is really difficult to win the title for two consecutive seasons in a Champions League with so many strong players and a lot of luck.
... Even if your team is not bad at strength, you can’t stand up to bad luck!"
For Madrid Pirates, this season is a case of "bad luck".
They were almost going well until Juan Ramirez got injured, and then suddenly hit rock bottom.
So much so that even the La Liga champions rely on the help of the relegation team Saria.
Hu Lixin glanced at his wife sitting in front of the TV and found that her face was numb and expressionless, as if she had seen through all the joys and sorrows of life and death in the world.
What does she have to do with whether Madrid Pirates can reverse the promotion?
What?
You ask, if you don't care about the outcome, why do you still get up in the middle of the night to watch the game?
Of course I am worried about my son getting hurt!
Ramirez and Luo Kai were injured one after another, making Xie Lan's heart hang in his throat.
Only when the World Cup actually begins can she truly feel relieved...
No!
Even if the World Cup starts, she won't worry about it until the World Cup is completely over.
After all, he was seriously injured in just one group match, and there are lessons to be learned from his early farewell to the World Cup.
In the TV broadcast, Madrid Pirates head coach Parotti was also expressionless and was not very excited about losing the ball.
※※※
When the replay of Edman's goal ended, the live broadcast of the game switched back to the live signal.
The players of Madrid Pirates are already standing in their respective positions, ready for kick-off.
However, the person who kicked off the ball in the center circle was not Hulay or Di Kunzo, but their midfielder Joaquín Vela.
As for Hu Lai, he stood at the intersection of the center circle and the center line.
He stood on one side, and his strike partner DiQuinzo stood on the other side, facing each other.
In addition, Toni and Camara also stood slightly further on the center line, and Madrid Pirates right back Irazusta also stood very far forward, almost close to the center line.
As the referee blew his whistle, Joaquin Vela kicked the football back.
At the same time, Hulay, Di Kunzo, Toni, Camara and Irazusta crossed the center line together and rushed towards Ruhrlein's goal!
Madrid Pirates launched a collective charge!
Joaquin Vela also ran forward after passing the ball, but after pressing Ruerrhein midfielder John Sett back, he suddenly turned around and ran back to receive the ball.
Danny Drew received his kickoff and passed the football back to him.
He didn't stop the ball and returned it directly to Vukovic who came up to meet him.
The latter had already observed it in advance, so when Joaquin Vela passed the football back to him, he did not stop the ball at all, nor did he make any adjustments. He directly passed the football forward on the right with his feet.
That's where Errazusta sprints!
As Cobb struggled to race against Errazusta, Kamara sped past him.
Ruerrhein's captain Noah Bowman quickly moved over to cover the defense.
Jose Amorim followed Hulay closely, and the two of them ran towards Ruerlein's penalty area.
He didn't want to make the mistake he made in the first half again - when he went to replace his captain and lost Hu Lai, Hu Lai scored a shocking world wave.
Irazusta did not push the football forward because Kamara rushed to meet it. After catching up with the football, he directly sent a cross!
The football flew low over the turf and headed straight for the center of the penalty area!
Amorim's whole body was almost pressed against Hu Lai's body. The two people's arms were supporting each other, and they were wrestling forward while sprinting forward.
Hu Lai began to adjust his pace while running, and then stretched his legs.
Amorim stretches his legs to block!
But he didn't touch the ball!
Instead, he watched the football pass in front of him and Hu Lai!
Hu Lai...missed it!
Amorim turned his head and looked back along with the football. He was horrified to see Di Kunzo swinging his foot towards the flying football!
Then he kicked the flying football out of the baseline!
"Ouch! DiCunzo!!"
"This goal... this goal! Alas! Di Kunzo had a chance to score just after the team lost the ball! He wasted this excellent opportunity and actually pushed the ball without being marked.
Off the mark!"
"Ahhhhh! What is this! What is this?!" Han Shuyu couldn't hold it any longer, and she screamed in the stands. "Di Kunzo! This is definitely a war criminal level performance! You can't even score this goal.
?!"
It wasn't just Han Shuyu who was screaming and cursing.
Li Qingliang next to me also talks a lot about "C language".
DiQuinzo lost his balance when he missed the push, fell to the ground, and fell out of the baseline along with the football.
He just lay on the turf, holding his head in his hands, staring at the empty goal dumbly, as if he couldn't believe that he didn't seize this opportunity...
Cheers at Pirates Park turned to violent sighs.
While sighing, Hu Lai gave Di Kunzo a thumbs up:
"Nice run, Daniel! It doesn't matter, we'll do it again!"
He did not complain about his teammates for wasting this great opportunity, nor did he look up to the sky and sigh like the fans and behave negatively.
※※※
Ruerrhein assistant coach Moritz Riden sat on the chair in the coaching bench and let out a sigh of relief.
He was really scared to death just now.
After Hu Lai missed the football, his heart almost stopped.
Fortunately, DiCunzo missed the ball.
"God is on our side, God is on our side, God is on our side..."
After he regained his composure, he kept repeating this murmur.
Although head coach Kuhn did not mutter to himself like a neurotic, his thoughts were similar to those of the assistant coach next to him.
This ball was like some kind of revelation, setting the tone for this game.
This is a good sign!

PS, the game between Argentina and Saudi Arabia has begun.
This is Messi's fifth World Cup trip.
In fact, I am quite optimistic about Argentina winning the championship this year.
Although they are not actually the most popular.
But precisely because they are not the favorite, I am more optimistic about him.
Because I think most of the people who can win the World Cup are actually not the favorites before the World Cup starts.
For example, Brazil in 2002 and Italy in 2006.
Although this year's Argentina is a bit dimmer, it is more united and more like a whole.
Coupled with the fact that Messi has changed his style of play now, he is in good shape during the season.
It can be said that it was the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people.
If Argentina wants to win the championship, this year is indeed the best time.
Based on the above reasons, I think Argentina is very likely to win the World Cup this year.
Messi will also completely establish his historical status with this championship.
