Chinese champion

Chapter 137 Meeting with old friends
It is already the stoppage time of the second half of overtime, and the score is still one to one!

If this score is maintained until the end, Mallorca and Celtic will have no choice but to enter a cruel penalty shootout after fighting for 120 minutes!

Of course, Mallorca, who played at home, did not want to see such a result, but the Celtics guarded the goal like an iron bucket!
Mallorca launched the last attack. Pei Wei started to dribble from the front of the penalty area after receiving a cross pass from Ibagaza!
Three Celtic defenders surrounded him tightly, but they still couldn't break the ball that seemed to be stuck to Pei Wei's feet!
In that fleeting gap, Pei Wei passed the ball, the ball flew over the heavy siege of the opponent's defender, and landed accurately at the feet of the black lightning on the other side, and the Celtics' defense also focused on marking Pei Wei. It seemed a little empty, and the Cameroon Lions were about to break into the restricted area!
Hartson, who dropped back to help the defense, tackled Eto'o from behind, for which he also paid the price of a red card!

But Hutson felt the red card was worth it!Because there is almost no defense in front of Eto'o, once the shooter successfully breaks into the penalty area, it will be no different from surrendering directly!
Anyway, a penalty kick is about to be played, and it doesn't matter if one person is missing-as long as the teammates on the field can defend this free kick.

Although the position of this free kick is very dangerous, even the best free kick master in the world cannot be sure that his free kick will definitely score the opponent's goal. This is at least better than letting Eto'o face the goalkeeper alone!
Pei Wei picked up the ball and quietly placed it on the penalty spot.

There was no need for this game to reach this point!Mallorca had the advantage in this game, with more than twice as many shots as their opponents, and a ball possession rate as high as 60.00%. However, in the second half of overtime, the score was still [-]-[-]!

It was a return pass error by himself in the first half that made Larson assist Hutson to score the goal. Although he assisted Eto'o to equalize the score shortly afterwards, it was not enough to make up for his loss. fault!

Fortunately, God opened his eyes and gave me such an opportunity, if I don't seize it, I will feel sorry for myself!

"Left! Move a little to the left and completely cover the goal for me!"

Celtic's Russian goalkeeper Karin loudly commanded the wall. He is now very excited and in good condition today. It was he who saved a few must-go goals that made the Celtics more and more successful. The closer to the goal of dragging Mallorca into a penalty shootout.

Five Celtic players lined up a human wall, covering the goalkeeper's left side tightly, while Campano desperately squeezed in the human wall, trying to squeeze the human wall loose.

Pei Wei observed the position of the human wall. Larson, who is closest to the middle of the goal, is the shortest, with a height of only 1.7 meters. Then, the players next to him are getting taller, and the last one is Sutton who blocks the inside of the right post. The height reached 1.8 meters eight!
"This human wall is quite interesting. It seems that they want to force me to hit the ball close to the middle of the goal so that Karin can make a save." Pei Wei thought to himself.

But free kicks are not the only way to go.

Pei Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at the players on both sides in the penalty area.

Karin noticed Pei Wei's action, and he felt a drum in his heart: Could this kid choose to pass the ball?

This is not impossible. Since it is the last moment of the game, seven Mallorca players have come up, leaving only Pablo and Curtis to defend near the center circle, while their own players There are only five in the penalty area, and it seems that it is really possible to pass the ball!
Pei Wei took a few steps sideways, and then started to run.

"It's really time to pass the ball!" Carlin could see clearly in his eyes. Looking at the posture of Pei Weiyang's feet, he was obviously preparing to hang the ball obliquely to the other side. If the ball is passed accurately, the possibility of scoring will be increased!

Karin hurriedly moved forward two steps. He wanted to judge where the ball landed in the shortest possible time, and then catch the ball before the opposing player grabbed the spot!

"Crack!" Pei Wei bent his body to the maximum the moment he slapped the ball with his foot, and then slammed the ball almost sideways!

The ball flew high, drew a wonderful arc, just passed over Sutton's head, and then fell rapidly in the air!
"Oops!" Carlin was taken aback. He didn't have time to regret it. With one step, he jumped up and tried to block the ball before it hit the net!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL——" Mallorca's commentator roared loudly: "The goal is scored! A wonderful free kick! Our Pei! He brought us victory at the last moment of the game!"

Yes, the ball was scored. Even the pickiest person could find no flaws in this free kick. The speed and power are excellent, but what about the angle?God, don't you know there is a "theoretical dead end" in football?The ball passed between the beam and the upright and entered the net. There could be no more tricky angle than this!

"We only have one Pei!" This is the cheer of Mallorca fans!

Pei Wei opened his arms, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the cheers of the fans wholeheartedly!
This feeling is great!I like this feeling!
*****************************************
"Hey! Ambit, is this the first time you've returned to Mallorca since you transferred this year?"

In the quiet small bar, Eto'o held a glass of red wine and asked Ambit Luke who was sitting beside him with a smile.

Ambit Luke - the former No. 11 forward in Mallorca, now the No. 11 left forward in Deportivo smiled: "Yeah, this is my second home. I haven't been here for more than half a year. I really miss it." .”

"I didn't expect you to change your career to play midfielder, but it's true. Deportivo's forward competition is too fierce. Playing midfielder is also a good way." Pei Wei on the other side drank his lipstick and laughed. speak.

Luke strangled his neck: "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me that I can't compete with Roy (Markay) and Diego (Tristan)?"

Pei Wei said aggrievedly: "This is the truth."

Seeing Luke's intention to elevate "talking" to "hands-on" again, Pei Wei immediately changed his words: "But you performed very well in the position of left midfielder. Your coach is really good at employing people."

Luke sighed: "I didn't quite understand it at first, but after I really got into this new role, I began to feel that I also felt very comfortable playing in this position, even better than when I was playing forward!"

"Irueta deserves to be a famous coach in La Liga. He must have taken a fancy to your excellent physical condition, your super sprint ability within 20 meters, and your powerful shot with your left foot. All of these are suitable for you. Playing as a winger, in Mallorca before, it was because there were no other good players in the forward line, and Ibagaza performed very well in the position of the left midfielder, so I always let you play as a forward. The old man also told me However, in fact, you can become an all-rounder who can handle both left midfielder and striker with ease, he just has no chance to use you like that!"

Luke drank the remaining red wine in the glass: "How is the coach now, is he better?"

"It's much better!" Eto'o said: "He has no problems, he just needs to cultivate for a while." He blinked mysteriously: "Actually, the coach is always looking forward to having such an opportunity to communicate more with his wife. !"

"Hehe! You guys still can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth!" Luke laughed dumbly, and put the cup heavily on the table: "Talk slowly, I'll go first!"

"Leaving so soon?" Eto'o said in amazement: "It's still early, let's have more parties! How about another drink?"

"Forget it, I'll get together with you guys after the game is over! It's not good to let the reporters see it now!" Luke stood up: "You have to be careful in tomorrow's game, we are now ranked sixth. But I've been coveting it for a long time!"

"Wahhahaha!" Eto'o let out an arrogant laugh: "Joke! Just based on your performance this year? We are one of the top three in La Liga. You should be careful!"

Luke didn't speak, but turned around, "Anbit!" Pei Wei said quietly behind him, "I'll be waiting for you on the court tomorrow, I hope you don't let me down!"

Luke smiled: "You two are still the same, and you don't even want to take advantage of your mouth!" Then he sighed again: "I don't know if there will be days like this in the future?"

Seeing Luke disappearing at the door, Eto'o flattened his mouth: "This guy, he has learned to play deep since he went to La Coruña for half a year! Don't worry about him, Pei, let's keep drinking."

Unexpectedly, Pei Wei also stood up: "By the way, Samuel, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, I'm leaving first, you sit down!"

"You want to go too? Well, I won't stop you, you go, I will stay here alone." Eto'o didn't ask Pei Wei what's the matter, because after staying in Europe for so many years, for Eto'o still respects the privacy of others.

Pei Wei left the bar as if fleeing. Eto'o hummed an African tune and slowly sipped the remaining red wine in the glass.

After a while, there was a strange cry from Eto'o in the bar.

"These two bastards! They ran away without even paying the bill! Luke, it was supposed to be the one who paid the bill, but he actually left alone. Isn't Pei Wei too cunning? What's the matter? Ah, I must have found out that Luke made an excuse to run away without paying the bill. This bottle of red wine is from [-]! There is no such thing as a midfielder! Dirty, obscene, despicable, shameless..."

The waiter in the bar came over with the bill: "Sir, please pay the bill. The total is [-] euros."

"￥—...%—￥￥%...—my money..."

**************************************
The next day, in the San Moise Stadium, Mallorca fans greeted Luke with cheers, but Eto'o kept a dark face and angrily ignored Pei Wei and Luke. people.

Luke and Pei Wei smiled at each other, shook hands, then turned and ran back to their own half.

Deportivo's performance at the beginning of this season was not good. Many games that should be won were not won. In the Champions League, they were eliminated early in the group stage.The tense relationship between Dejaminha and head coach Irueta is an important factor that affects the team's combat effectiveness. When Dejaminha was dealt with cheaply by the club and returned to Brazil during the winter break, this veteran team found another Returning to the feeling of being in the league, they once won consecutive victories, but the momentum has only slightly weakened recently.

However, according to Manzano's research, the biggest feature of Deportivo this year is that they have very bad luck!In the collision with the top teams in the standings, they actually played well, but in the end, they were still losers.

"You can't weigh their strength from their current ranking. You must know that Deportivo is definitely a strong team in Spain. Their personnel have always been very stable, and their coach Irueta brought They have been around for almost six years, and they are very familiar with their players, so we must not take this game lightly." Manzano dare not put his treasure on the opponent's bad luck, luck is not a good thing , Maybe Deportivo will come to the game in this game?

"We are at home in this game, and we have a certain advantage, but facing a strong team like Deportivo, this advantage is not enough for us to beat them. Their weakness lies in the back line, and the two central defenders are old. They are all too big. Although they have rich experience, they are a bit slow in turning around. Therefore, our midfielders should play more behind them to take advantage of Eto'o's speed. Pei, the Brazilian is the main midfielder of the opponent today. Mauro Silva is suspended for accumulating three yellow cards. The main player is the Argentine Duscher. You have to be careful. This player has a little dirty feet. In last year's Champions League, Manchester United's David Beckham got caught by him Injured the phalanx of the right foot, almost missed the World Cup, be careful not to be injured by him."

"As for defense, the opponent's two strikers are typical center forwards. Ma Kai is fast and Tristan has a good header. Your two captains have a heavy task today. Let me keep an eye on them!"

Manzano said so before the game.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!Eto'o passed the ball crossed by Delgado back to Pei Wei, who dribbled the ball into Deportivo's half: Luke, old friend, here I come!
