Chapter 315: The goal-scoring madman

Under the gaze of 18,000 fans, players from both sides appeared on the court.

Compared with last season, Leiden East's main lineup has only changed two players, Edmunddo replaced the injured Vanny, Figo occupied Glenshare's position, and Galatasaray has only changed one person, that is, Brazilian shooter Jadel replaced Hakan Suk's position, and the captain's armband was worn on the arm of Romanian veteran Haji.

Figo and Haji had a conversation in the player channel. They were teammates for a season. When Figo came to Barcelona in the 95-96 season, Haji had been there for a year, but when Figo arrived at Barcelona, ​​he became the main force at that time, but Haji could only play in effective time, but this did not affect the relationship between the two.

Another former Barcelona teammate of Figo is also a Romanian. Popescu came to Barcelona with Figo. In the two seasons of 1995 to 1997, he was first Barcelona's main central defender, and later became a substitute because of the arrival of French national team captain Blanco. Following Haji's footsteps, he went to Galatasaray together. In Galatasaray, these two Romanians have become Galatasaray's pride.

However, friendship only exists in the player channel. After stepping into the stadium, everyone put away their smiles and prepared for the next game - last season Leiden East beat Galatasaray miserably, and after Leeds fans splashed blood on the streets of Istanbul, Turkey and England were already in a state of equal storm. Xiao Ming's declaration of defending the European Super Cup before the start of the game made both sides extremely nervous. From the beginning of the game, he immediately fell into a white-hot heat.

The fierce Turks launched attacks through fierce interceptions and interceptions from the beginning of the game, and Leiden East naturally would not cringe. They also came from a tough league.

Gerald and Yumit Davala collided fiercely in the midfield. Gerald, who was more physically better, stabilized his center of gravity and smoothly controlled the ball. After seeing Edmundor retreat and receiving the ball, he immediately passed the ball.

Edmunddo stretched out his foot to catch the ball, but at the moment he received the ball, he used his feet to push the ball to the left, and he passed the ball to the left with his back to the goal, and the ball naturally fell to Figo's feet on the right!

Edmunddo's pass was so hidden that even though Galatasaray's players attached great importance to Figo, they still failed to stop Figo from getting the ball as soon as possible!

Figo stopped the ball, and Hakan Yunsal and Emre immediately rushed towards Figo at the same time. Figo completed the breakthrough while receiving the ball, and moved the ball forward, then passed between the two people, then looked up and looked in the penalty area, and immediately made a cross!

The ball drew a beautiful arc and flew into the penalty area. The other Emre at the front point tried hard to intercept, but he could only watch the ball pass by his feet. Phillips, who was inserted in the back row, had no time to adjust, so he just shot with one shot!

Tafarel made a side save and threw the ball into his arms. Then the sound of Galatasaray fans breathing a sigh of relief in the stands.

"Kevin seems to be not very lucky this season. He is in good condition and has many opportunities created in the midfield. But now it is the third official game and he has not scored a goal yet." McDonald shook his head and sighed.

"This season is a bit different from last season... Last season, Luther was covered in the penalty area, and Luther's threat was also very big. He was not under key control. This season is different. Luther was not there, and he became the forward who was at the forefront, and others valued him more than last season. He is an assassin. Assassin should hide in the shadows and should not fight against his opponents. But there is no way. Edmunddo is in good shape now. I have to give him a main position, so he can only be at the forefront."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming sighed: "I hope Kevin's luck will be better, so don't fall into a feeling of disappointment and anxiety... He is in good condition, but he is a little lucky. As long as there is a goal, he can get a steady stream of goals, as long as he maintains confidence and optimistic."

Galatasaray organized a counterattack, and Haji passed the ball to Hassan Saas in the middle to Hassan Saas in the frontcourt. Hassan Saas made a pass in the penalty area. Jadel jumped up and wanted to head off the ball, but was successfully disturbed by Hypia. The ball he pushed out was weak and was easily held in his arms by Yasklenin.

"Galatasaray fought fiercely in the midfield, but they invested a little less force in the offense... Do you want to use our tactics against those strong teams last season to deal with us?" Xiao Ming sneered: "Tell the players to boldly suppress them from both sides and focus on playing two sides, so that they have to strengthen the defense of the sides to reduce the pressure. Since they are recycled, we will overtake the half-court, reduce their range of activities, and suppress them!"

As the storm was surging, Leiden East immediately launched a fierce suppressive offense, which made the commentator exclaim, "Leden East has a new look." This commentator obviously had never seen Leiden East's performance in the Champions League group stage and league last season. In those games, most of them relied on fierce offense to win, but in the later knockout rounds, Leiden East began to gradually balance offense and defense.

The next two shots came from Figo. He first broke through Yunsal's defense on the eleventh minute and then shot directly from a small angle was confiscated by Tafarrel. Two minutes later, Edmunddo created a free kick at the front of the penalty area. Figo's shot bypassed the wall, but slightly higher than the crossbar.

Then Jinklaze sent a beautiful oblique pass to Garney on the wing. Garney put the ball into the penalty area with his left foot, and Edmund's tackle shot from behind was high.

These shots were all due to opportunities created after breaking through the wing. Obviously, after joining Figo, Leiden's Eastern wide offense rose by at least one level compared to last season!

Galatasaray's midfielder Davala and Emre had to make up for the position on both sides. In this way, after there was not enough people in the midfield, their pressing effect was reduced a lot. Leiden East took the opportunity to hit the attack again in the middle. After Edmund got the ball, Gerald inserted a powerful long shot and let Tafarell fight his life to dial the ball out of the baseline...

Figo took a corner kick, and Deselli, who had assisted, headed the ball slightly right and was held in his arms by Tafarrel. Three minutes later, Edmunddo took the ball at the front of the penalty area and suddenly turned around and shot, and the ball was once again over the crossbar.

More than twenty minutes before the game, Leiden Oriental had an absolute advantage. They had already scored seven shots, four of which were within the goal frame. However, Tafarrel's condition today looked very good, which was very different from the sluggish scene of being Leiden Oriental in the group stage last season when he was surrendered by Leiden Oriental in the away game for five goals.

Tafarell has never been a top goalkeeper in the world football world, even when he is in the best shape. The reason is that although he is very good at saving penalty kicks, his condition is not very stable. It is common for him to concede a few goals when he is in poor condition. When he is in good condition, he can often save some very threatening shots...

One of the things that is unfortunate for Leiden East is that Tafarrel is in very good shape today.

"Continue to attack." Xiao Ming sneered. Leiden East has already gained an absolute advantage. Xiao Ming does not think that a goalkeeper's outstanding performance will allow them to never concede the ball.

Galatasaray could only threaten Leiden East's goal through a few limited counterattacks, most of which came from Haji's instigation. However, with Marklele keeping a close eye on Haji, this kind of counterattack rarely appeared, and the only time Haji's cross on the left was wasted by Saas.

Leiden East's offensive became more and more fierce. Figo began to frequently replace Jinklaze with Jinklaze, which made Galatasaray's defenders even more unpredictable. Jinklaze's cross after a breakthrough allowed Figo to grab the first point in the penalty area. Unfortunately, the Portuguese header was above the crossbar. Immediately after Edmundor outside the penalty area took the ball and saw Tafarell's position a little higher, he suddenly took a foot and shot. This extremely imaginative shot was still a little higher...

"It's already the 35th minute of the first half. Leiden Oriental's offense is very fierce, completely suppressing Galatasaray. Unfortunately, he won't score... Their frontcourt offensive players' shots are quite threatening, but they are all a little bit worse. Perhaps all Leiden Oriental fans are missing Fanny far away in the United States. Phillips, who is alone, miss Fanny even more. In the case of a single striker breaking forward, Phillips is obviously still a little worse than Fanny."

The players of Leiden Oriental, who had been attacking for more than 30 minutes, were also a little tired. Galatasaray took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. Saas's personal breakthrough created a free kick in the frontcourt. Haji ran past the ball, Jadel immediately pushed the ball forward for a distance, dodged the range of the wall, Haji immediately took a strong shot with his left foot. Yaskleinen, who didn't save much in the first half, showed his reaction that he was not inferior to anyone, and quickly saved the ball from the side.

As time was about to come to an end of the first half, Galatasaray, who was suppressed by Leiden East for a full forty minutes, scored!

Garney made a mistake. When Jadel had no chance to shoot, he stretched out his foot and tripped the opponent in the penalty area. The referee's whistle sounded, and the penalty kick!

Galatasaray fans cheered excitedly, while Leiden East fans cursed loudly. Xiao Ming slapped the lawn and made a "why" gesture to the fourth official. Trim on the other side jumped up from the ground as if he had won the World Cup championship and roared his fists and celebrated loudly.

Xiao Ming glanced at Trim with a squint, then walked back with his face. On the court, the referee had dispersed the Leyton Oriental players who had complained. Jadel put the ball on the penalty spot and prepared to give the penalty.

Jasquelen stared at Jadel's feet, but the Brazilian did not give him a chance to show his reaction nerves. After the run-up, he scored a strong shot without hesitation and scored the ball into a dead corner!

"One to zero! Jadel's penalty kick was the first record for Galatasaray, who has been in a passive position! This is the tenth official goal after Jadel's transfer to Galatasaray this season! It's so terrifying. Galatasaray played three league games and two Champions League qualifiers before, Jadel scored nine goals surprisingly, this is the tenth! What a goal lunatic! The ten goals in the Champions League last season were not a decoration!"

The tall Jadel hugged his teammates and cheered at the stands where Galatasaray fans were, and they responded enthusiastically in the stands.

"What a goal madman. In Porto the past two seasons, he has scored more than one goal percentage, and he has scored twenty-six goals in thirty games in the season with the least goals. Maybe we should have bought him in advance at that time. He is the best replacement for Fanny." McDonald sighed.

"It's a pity that he can't get a labor certificate, otherwise I really want to buy him." Xiao Ming said calmly: "But don't think he is too mythical. He didn't create any chance in this game, just a penalty kick... I don't believe that Robert's kick could bring such a big guy to the ground."

After Galatasaray's celebration ended, the game was about to enter injury stoppage time - this goal occurred in the 43rd minute.

"Let them succeed in the first half. There are still 45 minutes left in the game. I don't believe they will have such good luck in the second half." Xiao Ming looked at his watch and stood up.

"I'll go back to the locker room first." After whispering to McDonald, Xiao Ming left the stadium early and walked into the player's passage.

When the players of Leiden East pushed open the door of the locker room nervously, they saw their boss looking at the tactical board in the locker room, thinking about something.

Hearing the sound behind him, Xiao Ming turned around, but was not as angry as they expected. Instead, he laughed: "What are you doing? Why don't you go take a shower and change your jerseys quickly... Let's talk about what to do in the second half later. I can't wait to let them fight those bastards who only rely on counterattack attacks."

When the boss started to swear, the players laughed. They knew the boss very well. When he started to swear, they said that he was very angry, but the person he was angry was targeting their opponents. If Xiao Ming just didn't speak and looked at them, it would mean that Xiao Ming was very dissatisfied with their performance!

The weather in Monaco is very stuffy today, with the temperature close to forty degrees. The players who ran the whole first half were already a little out of breath. This is not fatigue, but it is just that they consume too much water in the stuffy weather, which leads to physical discomfort. Take a break and add some sports drinks and you will be able to get lively immediately - of course, it is also a good idea to take a warm bath.

After washing away the sweat and dust on his body, he changed into a clean and refreshing jersey. The players were all excited, and then stood in a semicircle in front of Xiao Ming, waiting for Xiao Ming's speech.

"We don't need to change any tactics in the second half." Xiao Ming's first sentence set the tone for the players in the first half: "We performed very well in the first half... No, we can even say that they are quite outstanding! We completely controlled the situation on the court and created many opportunities. We had five to six must-scoring shots. In addition to not scoring, our performance in the first half was impeccable! So, our tactics are fine, and your condition is fine, the problem is our opponents and God - they are so lucky, God is also on their side, but it doesn't matter, we have a full forty-five minutes in the second half! As long as we can maintain the state and offensive density of the first half, see how many minutes this God can protect them!"

"Robert, you don't need to feel guilty about that penalty kick. No matter how good the defender is, he will make mistakes, not to mention that the Brazilian center's fake fall is a little better. However, as long as the referee watches the video of the first half, he will know that he made a mistake. Maybe we will compensate us in the second half." Xiao Ming walked over and patted Garney on the shoulder: "You can use your assist to make up for this mistake in the second half. We suppressed the wing in the first half very well, and we will continue to do this in the second half."

Garney nodded. He missed the final of the Champions League last season, and he didn't want to leave any regrets in this European Super Cup.

"Just do this, suppress the side road. When they put the focus on the side road, they quickly shifted to the middle road to attack, but the focus was still on the side road. There were countless gaps in the side road for us to use. As long as we caught it once, we could turn the situation around." Xiao Ming made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand heavily: "That's it, defeat them!"

"Kill them!" The players shouted one after another.

"Resting for a while, then kick their ass!" Xiao Ming almost shouted the slogan "Breaking their chrysanthemums". Later, he thought that this group of foreigners might not be able to understand the profound Chinese Internet language...

The players seized the time to recover their physical fitness. Xiao Ming looked at Phillips, then looked at Klose who was sitting aside, thinking about a problem in his mind.

Should Klose be replaced with Phillips? Galatasaray's central defenders are not very tall and have the advantage on the wing, Klose's header can play a big role.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ming decided to give Phillips another twenty minutes. If Phillips's foot style is still not smooth, Klose will come on the court. After all, in such an important game, he must first consider goals and victory.

Besides, Phillips is not a young man anymore. He is a veteran and has a good psychological endurance. He will not get extra psychological pressure due to poor performance.
